York 's paper was judged the best graduate paper in Assistant News Editor A five year debate between an ASU facul­ ty member and the university administra­ tion may be coming to an end. Former Dean of Learning Sources Dr. Alvis Corum filed a civil action lawsuit against the university on June 27, 1984, con­ tending he was terminated from the deanship because of his age and because he excercised his right to speak out on a public issue. Corum, the plaintiff in the case, listed the defendants as the University of North Carolina, through its Board of Governors; UNC System President C.D. Spangler, in his official capacity; ASU Chancellor John Thomas and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Harvey Durham. The issue concerns "The Appalachian Collection," an accumulation of numerous books, recordings and artifacts concerning Appalachian culture prior to 1850. According to a complaint filed by At­ torney John W. Gresham for Corum, Durham had proposed a move of the collec­ tion in 1983 from the ASU camons to rhe competition. for more information on joining Phi Alpha Theta contact Mark Vickrey, faculty advisor, at 262-6160 or stop by Room 144 Whitener Hall. attention All Clubs and Organizations There wil-be a city-wide clean-up as part of the "Keep North Carolina Beautiful" Program held on Saturday April 29 at 9:30.

University Hall, more than a mile off cam­ pus. Corum was responsible for overall responsibility of the collection and publicly opposed the move. The final decision to move the collection was made in June 1984. According to the complaint made by Corum, he then began to undertake the steps necessary for the move. In an answer to the complaint, filed by the NC Assistant Attorney General Laura E. Crumpler for the defendants, the defen­ dants said that Corum, at the time, in­ dicated his support and approval for the move. Corum's case contends that "in working with other members of the faculty and staff of ASU, plaintiff determined that some clarification was needed to reconcile what had been told plaintiff by Dr. Durham and subsequent conflicting instructions give to plaintiff by (current Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs) Dr. Clin­ ton Parker." In their answer to the complaint, the defendants deny these charges. According to both the complaint and the answer, Corum was informed that his not carrying out the Chancellor's decision would constitute a charge of gross insubor- dination. Corum contends that he was informed that he "was being relieved of his duties for gross insubordination." The defendants deny that this was the reason for his discharge. Corum also claims that he was relieved of his duties as Dean of Learning Resources for "having spoken out in opposition to the petitions taken by Dr. Durham and the ad­ ministration of ASU with regard to the Ap­ palachian collection and to chill further op­ position to the adminisration's actions with regard to the Collection."

Lively Arts Festival Activities are available By WENDY PLYLER Appalachian Staff Writer The Office of Outdoor Programs offers a long list of activities for those looking for recreation or a learning experience. Some of the activities offered include: canoeing, rafting, rock climbing, rapelling, hiking, horseback riding, cross country ski­ ing and cycling. » Each activity is designed to provide out­ door experience while maintaining the in­ tegrity of our natural and unique mountain setting. "We began by taking the philosophy of the Outward Bound Movement and incor­ porating it into a center for higher educa­ tion," Director John Crotts said. "There are three basic thrusts of the pro­ gram, which include Instructional Clinics for students, faculty and staff, as well as Student Workshops that are designed for individual groups. We also have a large in­ ventory of equipment that can be used on a rental program," he added. Currently in the Division of Student Development, the program was originally in the College of Continuing Education. It began in 1972 under a Grant from Dewitt Wallace Foundation and only a few courses were offered on campus. In 1983, during the reorganization of the university, the program was "transferred to the Division of Student Development where it was expand­ ed. "We also offer a group interaction as well as a high ropes course, both designed to in­ itiate cooperation as well as self confidence, trust and group suport," Crotts said. To help with the upkeep of the program, each student pays an activity fee each semester. "As far as what activities we choose, we will pick those that are geared toward the interests of students. We have done some polling to find out what these interests are and have modified them. We stay away from competitive activities because we feel Intramurals do a good job at that," Crotts said. The university has supplied the program with one and a half full time positions but the demand outstrips the leaders ability to handle all the activities. The program has grown by training students to become guides for many of the activities. "We encourage any interested students to come talk to us about leadership positions," he said. "We prefer individuals with prior leadership experience. This enrichment among students is what brings diversity to our programs," he added. The Outdoor Programs is located on River Streer, across from the tennis courts and is open front 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on Monday thru Friday. Rental hours are from 12-3 p.m. on Monday and Friday and from 12-2 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs­ day. (CPS)-—Federal investigators soon may be conducting "spot checks" of students who have Pell Grants to make sure they are not using illicit drugs. U.S. Dept. of Education Secretary Lauro Cavazos announced the new effort, in which investigators would make spot checks in mid-April at various campuses to make sure the students are not taking, making or selling illegal drugs. He also said he would rely on anonymous tips to determine whom to investigate. "That's some scary stuff," executive director of the Philadelphia-based American Association of University Students Scott Affleck said, a coalition of private campus-student leaders. Education Dept. officials immediately began backing off Cavazos' statement, refusing to elaborate on what a "spot check" might involve—a urinalysis, a broad questioning of an accused student's friends—or how the department might field anonymous tips. "We are still working out the details of enforcement, including spot audits and spot checks,"- Department Spokesman Jim Bradshaw said, cautioning that nothing is final. "We are discussing the options." Starting for their fall, 1989 term, students will be required to sign anti-drug pledges to get federal college aid. Under the Drug-Free Work place Act of 1988, all federal grant recipients—from weapons builders to students—will be required to prove they do not take illegal drugs. Before receiving their Pell Grants, students will have to sign a form swearing they "will not engage in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance. . . " Cavazos' new spot checks, the secretary said at the Conference on Drug Free Schools and Communities held in Baltimore, are to help the department enforce the Drug-Free Work Place law and make Sure students are telling the truth when they sign the anti-drug form. The secretary added he expects members of the public to tell the Education Dept., which administers most federal college pro­ grams, about their suspicions of their classmates. "When there's someone who thinks they have information on grants being improper­ ly used, we welcome hearing from the public on that," Bradshaw said. Biadshaw also left open the possibility that the department would revoke a Pell Grant from a student who it had found to be using drugs, but who had not yet been convicted of anything in a court of law. "That sounds like it would deprive them of their due process rights," American Civil Liberties Union Attorney Nina Pollard said Aside from individual privacy issues involved, campus aid officials saw Cavazos' proposal as another drawback to student aid. "It's totally unrelated to financial aid," Financial Aid Director at the University of Florida Karen Fooks said. Financial aid offices are already unfairly burdened with making sure students are U.S. citizens and, if eligible, are registered for the draft, she said. Making sure Pell Grant recipients aren't using illegal drugs means more paper work. "It's a whole new document for us to track," she said. Reform movement claims two admissions tests A.P.P.S.

The move, some say, could signal the start of a period of reform for many of the other standardized tests—often criticized as biased, badly used by colleges and inac­ curate measures of student's skills— students must take to get into undergraduate and graduate programs. But while the changes appear to be "a response to stronger and stronger evidence of bias," in part they also appear to be "a calculating marketing strategy" charged Sarah Stockwell admissions test coordinator for FairTest, a standardized test "watch­ dog" group based in Massachusetts. The changes, Stockwell said, were ail in tests related to those made by the Educa­ tional Testing Service, and all were an­ nounced after the American College Testing program revised its major college entrance exam. "They put in essay questions or make the tests less coachable, but these are cosmetic changes. They (testmakers) are not overhauling the tests to get nu of biases against women, minorities or students from low income families," Stockwell said. On March 13, Association of American Medical Colleges President Robert Petersdorf announced med school entrance exams would be changed in 1991 to stress students' logical abilities as well as their science knowledge. The new, shorter Medical College Admis-' sions Test (MCAT) will emphasize reason­ ing, problem solving and communication skills. "We need people in medicine who can solve problems and think critically," AAMC's spokeswoman Joan Hartman Moore said. Citing similar reasons, officials in January announced they would rewrite the American College Testing (ACT) program exams—the aptitude test generally favored by admissions directors at colleges in the Midwest and West—to be longer, tougher and more direct at testing reasoning abilities. Colleges asked for changes in the test because it sometimes did not weed out apnpt Dlicants who needed remedial conrsework AC I President Richard Ferguson said. I he revision would give the colleges "bet­ ter information for placement" of their new students, Ferguson said. The new MCAT will be more than an hour shorter than the current 9.5 hour ver­ sion and will replace sections on biology, chemistry, physics,. science problems, reading skills and math skills with four sec­ tions on science, logic and writing. "Students who decided early to go to medical school focused too much on the sciences. They studied for the exam rather than for life," Moore said. As word of the test changes gets around, AAMC "may see a different examinee pool in 1991,".

WALKER Assistant Ft Cetera Kdilor Many scholarships simply provide students with funding for school. The North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program, however, aims to provide its recipients with a comprehensive educational experience. This goal re­ quires everyone involved in this young program to work diligently in order to prepare future North Carolina teachers. Technically, the $20,000 North Carolina Teaching Fellows Award is not a scholarship, but a scholarship loan. When students decide to accept the award, they must sign a binding contract that they will teach in North Carolina public schools for four years after graduation. "Teaching is something I wanted to do regardless of whether I got the scholarship," says freshman Jim I.ankford. For each year the Fellow teaches, $5000 of the award is "forgiven." If a student drops out of school, fails to maintain the required GPA, or doesn't teach, he is required to pay back the loan in full. In addition to signing a contract, each campus has special requirements for its Fellows. ASU Teaching Fellows must participate in the LAP tutoring or Upward Bound programs for one year. They must attend 3-5 seminars per semester, ranging on topics from time & money manage­ ment, study skills, to discussions of problems in education. Each Teaching Fellow must complete eight hours of coursework not required of other teaching majors, including a leadership class and a seminar on the At-Risk Student. "It's a good pro­ Fellow Amy Stapleford, "but there are also many other excellent educa­ tion majors." "These students are the state's investment," says Jenkins. "We want to make sure the invest­ ment pays off, in the form of ex­ cellent teachers." The opinions about the Teaching Fellows Program range form en­ thusiasm to unfamiliarity.

I knew, walking on the beach that day, being a bitter old man at twenty-five, that they were going to tell me. I also knew—and savored this knowledge with guilty pleasure—that it would never last. I was sad. So I complained about the sand between my toes. It didn't last and there were no children. But after it didn't last that Such fierce love, the three of us. Somebody I ok! us once tluit the three of us made the perfect couple. But it was too extreme. The love, that is. With jealousy, hitter and hidden. We never talk­ ed about it. it was Morn who called to tell me. Lett a message with my secretary, though 1 don't know why she knew she should let me know. It was eleven when I heard, and I went ahead with the staff meeting. And I didn't wonder until this very minute how Mom knew. It wasn t on the news; I checked. Not that there's any reason why it should have been. 1 don't know why I answered the phone because I knew it was Amy. Expecting me to be strong. I slurred. She had to know I was drinking. She didn't say anything, though. That's the sad part. Of course she assumed that I already knew, but she was just check­ ing. Hoping maybe that she'd found out before me. Such fierce love, the three of us. Somebody told us once that the three of us made the perfect couple. But it was too extreme. The love, that is. With jealousy, bitter and hidden. We never talked about it. That one summer, after most of it was over and we were all trying to-still be friends—walking on the beach, Amy kept stopping to pick up shells. I time, none of us tried to still be friends. The two of them reminded each other that they hadn't been capable and I was the martyr. My two best friends. After Amy hung up—we agreed to plan a get together, do lunch, I think we said I sat on the couch holding the phone on my lap. I eased my feet out of my shoes and poured myself another glass of bourbon. I looked out the window at passing cars. Grey and blue shapes gradually became red and white dots. As always. My bottle was empty. I went into my bedroom, gathered a basket of dirty shirts and towels. I went downstairs to the laundry room. It was two a.m. and no one else was there. There was a black-and-white movie on the TV—the sound was off. I sat in the blue light from th/T"V screen and watched my clothes go through the first spin cycle; I tried to cry. I have always hated the beach, but I wanted so bad to be there with the two of them again, walking under :hat infernal sun. I wanted so bad to feci something, even sand between my toes. �Till IPI'AI iCH/AX, 'THURSDAY. \I'llII ? 7, 19,19 William perpetuates the list trend By Wll | JAM | | .

I need to cool down I'm almost overheating thinking of their April 22 gig in Chapel Hill. Sure, there were teeny-boppers galore sur­ prised to find out that Document wasn't their first album, and there were many saying that R.E.M.'s best show was in Raleigh in 1985, but the bottom line was that the show was an honest-to-goodness sellout with more sections opened up the day before because of popular demand. (Face it, friends. Lots of us never dreamed of the day we'd see them in anyplace big- ger than a 2,000 seater.) Fellow Georgia boys Drivin' and Cryin' opened up blazing with a mix somewhere between Guns'n'Roses and the Georgia Satellites. Though not much of the crowd gave them the time of day, they still played with almost too much effort to get everybody going. At the end of their set, Mike Mills and Peter Holsapple joined on guitar and banjo on "Straight to Hell" and hardly anyone in the Dean Dome noticed. Apparent­ ly the place was filled with ignorant diStiples.' After they left the stage, there were lots of hollers in approval, mine being the loudest. Before I charge into R.E.M.'s per­ formance in general, allow me to comment about the addition of Peter Holsapple on rhythm guitar and keyboards. Although Peter never reached the stardom he and his dB's mates deserved, he never stopped get ting better musically. He never went for the big sellout, either. Perhaps the record industry doesn't like hard workers like Holsapple. With his assistance on songs like "You Are the The Appalachian State University Theatre invites you to enjoy a night of comedy, suspense and drama as it presents "A Night of One-Acts" this week on the Appalachian campus. The production will run April 27-29 at the Greer Arena Theatre, beginning at 8 p.m. The evening will consist of three unique and diverse one-act plays directed by advanced directing students. The first play is Sand Moun­ tain Matchmaking, written by noted folk playwright Romulus Linney. The play is directed by Deborah Helms, a senior theatre major. Set in the late 1800's, Sand Mountain Matchmaking is the story of a young widow, Rebec­ ca. who has returned to the moun­ tains to live with her parents during her search for a new husband. Rebec­ ca, played by Danielle Drapeau, encounters some very interesting characters during her courtship, including a pair of egotistical moun­ tain boys, Clink and Slate, played by Jon Williams and Tom Brown. She then meets Radley Nollins (Jakie Cabe), a fundamentalist Christian who wants to bring her "the light of the Lord." She then deals with a young mountain boy, Vester (Scott Mical), with a "powerful crush" on her. And then finally, she meets a plain spoken widower, Sam (Reginald E. Walker) who has only himself to offer. The entire courtship is under the watchful eye of the Sand Moun­ tain matchmaker herself, Lottie Stiles, played by Lisa Davis. Assistant Director for the show is Holly L. Shaddix. The second play of the evening is The Tiger, by Murry Schisgal. The production is directed by Marcy Conklin, a junior theatre arts major. She is assisted by Richard Huffine. The Tiger is a psychological drama centered around an intelligent, yet slightly unstrung young man, Ben. Ben, played by Charley Belcher, kid­ naps a young suburban housewife Gloria, and brings her to his house bound and gagged. Throughout the course of the play, Gloria, played by Wendy Jones, discovers Ben has imprisoned her because he feels the urge to dominate, something which has been denied him. The two characters discover that they feel a strange kinship and attraction for each other. The final show of the evening is The Agreement, directed by Kaye Smith, a senior theatre arts major. Written by Janet Neipris, The Agree­ ment is a comedic look at a very serious topic, divorce. The play centers around an estranged couple, Sigmond and Sybil Mateheit, played by Todd James and Renita Kalimaris. Both ""SJre playing tfie"Ttew1y" single "dating game;" Sigmond with a dimwitted social butterfly named Alicia, played by Karen Taylor, who only dates "completely free men," and Sybil with an overly-rambunctious stuntman, Boris (Vance Weatherly), who Sybil has to stop from jumping off the coffeetable. The couple finally confronts each other at the court­ house, both with lawyers at their side. Sybil's lawyer, Alice Bailey, played by Karen Duckett, is a hard-nosed, unsentimental character who is out to "fight for the rights of women everywhere." She is met by Sigmond's lawyer, Lester Ostermayer, an equally rigid type, who is also undergoing a divorce and hates ali women. Needless to say that the confrontation is a messy one. The lawyers go after each other, no holds barred. Legal pads begin to fly, as the couple realize that it's not so easy to liquidate a marriage.

The light show should be the last thing mentioned since it was a show unto itself. Like on their Work Tour, films and slides were projected onto a rear screen, including a "group par­ ticipation film" filled with rules to obey during the show and also the is­ suance to turn to your neighbor and say "Hello, I'm glad you're here." R.E.M. once again proved they are the most ingenious pure pop band around, and to quote from "1,000,000," they're not only deadlier, but smarter, too.

The artists you will hear have names that are not so well known in the mainstream music industry, names like Margaret Becker, DeGarmo & Key, REZ, or Michael W. Smith. The typical liner coming from the D.J. will announce the program as Rock Solid, powerful music with a message. The Rock Solid program is a student-produced, student-directed radio program devoted entirely to contemporary Christian music. Rock Solid was first conceived by its pro­ ducer, William O'Flaherty, who pilots the ship of O'Flare Produc­ tions. "The idea of rock Solid came about in my freshman year in 1982," O'Flaherty said. "However, back then WASU wasn't very receptive about having the program." Rock Solid finally came into existence in the Spring of 1987, with O'Flaherty (alias Eddie O'.) as the sole coordinator and disc jockey for all but a couple of shows. O'Flaherty already had a vast personal library of Christian music, and also had contact with the record companies, which added to the collec­ tion. "Back then, 1 simply made out an entire list of songs I was going to play before showtime, which then was two hours," he said. "Basically, the same process was used when Matt Hawkins headed up the program." As the length of the show increased, the process became more cumbersome. This led to the development of a rota­ tion system, which is presently being used. "This way, the listeners can become more familiar with certain songs because they're played systematically." This also serves to emphasize the current releases from the industry. This year the program has been extended to seven hours, and has incorporated three syndicated Chris­ tian programs. The syndications include On Track, Crosswalk and Powerline. The latter of the three uses secular music with Christian messages interjected within the program. The first two give the listener a good general introduction to Christian music, featuring a different artist in­ terview each week. "This way those who are unfamiliar with Christian music get a good exposure to a variety of artists in a more in depth fashion," O'Flaherty added. Why Rock Solid? "Because there is a substantial population of Christians on campus who enjoy the contem­ porary sounds, but prefer to hear lyrics that affirm their values," O'Flaherty said. "Many people are surprised by the songs that we play, because they have a sound similar to what you hear on mainstream radio." The Rock Solid program has grown rapidly since its inception. The number of DJs has also increased. O'Flaherty now shares the airwaves with Matt Hawkins, Todd Jones, and Geoff Duncan. Thanks to their con­ nections with all of the major Chris­ tian music labels, the music variety is also constantly assured. Rock Solid is a very upbeat pro­ gram and worth checking out by anyone interested in Christian music, or for anyone who would like to satisfy their curiosity. It can be sur­ prising to find out how diverse and upbeat the Christian music industry really is. The show presently airs from 6 a.m. to I p.m. every Sunday. It will also be airing ^during the summer school sessions on approximately the same schedule. The program is also being scheduled for next year.

After bursting out with an energetic "Pop Song 89," the band went from songs to lull the crowd to songs that got them jumping again. There were plenty of old tunes like "Sitting Still" and "Pretty Persuasion," thereby diminishing any thought that R.E.M. would turn its back on the past. They even played "Perfect Circle" from Murmur, which according to Stipe "is the 39th time we ever played it live." Needless to say, it sounded majestic.

Not only was Fernando a great player, he was and still is a nice iiiy. His personality is a warm and iheerful one that charms fans and tops his manager, Tommy lasorda, laughing. The world was taking to Fernando to make them laugh and show that a poor boy ft Mexico can realize the bttricarr Dream and become a suctesfiil pitcher in the major leagues. Now it appears that all this sucfessand glory is slowly coming to «end for Valenzuela. Last July, fernando hurt his arm in a game rainst Houston.

They travel to Asheville this Friday to participate in tournament action. "Going into the tournament, we feel confident. Our conference is a tough one; although we feel optimistic at times, we are willing to give that extra effort to overcome any faults or injuries that may hold us back," player James Anderson said. ' Tennis is a lot of fun; as a team We have shaped our tennis skills, and have learned how to manage our time wisely to accommodate both our academic and athletic needs," he added. "This year's team offers com- petitiveness, individuality, and selfesteem. Tennis allows us to think for ourselves; with tennis we are able to capture a positive level of motiva­ tion," player Dave Smith said. "With tennis, my loss or win is my own. I can t blame my defeat on anyone else," he added. Coach Kevin Burke has imposed values within the team that have created unity and commitment. He continues to expand their present two solid recruits. In the future, Burke plans to work on bettering the team's doubles play. With some sum­ mer practice, the team should improve. Burke provides ample feedback for the players that helps them to improve and grow as players. The players also have a great deal of respect towards Burke's coaching ability.

Despite the injuries and problems faced by the teams this year, they con­ tinue to play strong. This team possesses great spirit and enthusiasm.

Lacrosse comes to ASU Appalachian Photo by Troy Horock By JAY RUNY Appalachian Slafr Wriler The newly formed Appalachian State University Men's Lacrosse Club would like to announce its entry into the club sports system. Very few peo­ ple actually know what lacrosse is in the South, the game being primarily played in the Northeastern part of the United States, Canada and to a limited degree England and Australia. Contrary to its relatively unknown status, lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America. The origins of the brutal sport date back several thousand years when the Indians played . lacrosse to prepare for war. The In-" )sse dians would divide into two teams, sometimes consisting of several thou­ sand players. The game is played with a stick, three or four feet long with a netted loop at one end. A small ball is passed around, the object being to shoot a field between 500 yards and a half-mile long. Games would last for several days beginning at sunup and ending at sundown. After each ses­ sion of the game in which participants were often severely wounded or kill­ ed, opposing sides would participate in a drunken festival, a tradition vyhich still carries on today. The first known reference to lacrosse was made by a European, a Jesuit missionary, in 1636. The mis­ sionary was Jean de Bre'beuf who witnessed a game played by the Huron Indians in Canada. Over the years settlers became interested in lacrosse, and there are a few references to'games played against the Indians in the eighteenth century. Lacrosse was declared Canada's na­ tional sport in 1867. in North America because of the lure of the fast stickwork and physical contact. There are currently four var­ sity and tifteen club teams playing lacrosse in North Carolina. The ASU men's Lacrosse Club plans to schedule games for the 1989 fall season and would appreciate student support in attendance at games or fundraiser activities undertaken. The captain of the club lacrosse team said The ASU men's Lacrosse Club plans to schedule games for the 1989 fall season and would appreciate student support in attendance at games or fundraiser activities undertaken. The captain of the club lacrosse team said the team plans to play on Upper Kidd Brewer Field or at State Farm Field. In that same year, Indians from Canada played in exhibition games in the United States, the result being the formation of several lacrosse clubs. Colleges also began playing competively in the latter part of the nine­ teenth century. Since then lacrosse has become very popular in the Northeastern part' of the United States. Lacrosse has recently been identified as the fastest growing sport the team plans to play on Upper Kidd Brewer Field or at State Farm Field. The team hopes to be competitive against next year's schedule. The teams include UNG-G, Davidson, Charlotte Lacrosse Club, Wake Forest, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Duke University. He also said the first game would be about two weekends after Labor Day.

Lisa Ray and Jessie Hoeverman won in the women's weight divi­ sion. Tee Dean, Bert Brewer, Steve Stiles, and Roger Morrison won the men's weight divisions. Roger Morrison was the overall men's cham­ pion. In co-rec water basketball, players use innertubes in the shallow end of ei the pool to try and make hoops at their own goal. This spring, Alpha Kappa Psi won the championship. Each iptramural winner receives an Intramural Champion t-shirt and teams compete for All-University Points.

Spring football game set By JEFF TURNER Ap|)uluchiuo Sporls Kililor Coach Jerry Moore's first practices are coming to an end with the annual Gold and Black game to lie held this Saturday at 1:30 n.m. "I feel good, really good. We made a lot of progress. The players have worked hard. I hey do everything we ask," Moore said. The game will be open to the public and based on a point system. For each touchdown the offense scores, it will receive seven points, three points for a field goal and one point for each first down. The defense will receive three points when it holds the offense to three downs and out, five points for a fumble recovery, seven points lor a touchdown and one point when stop­ ping the offense to its second first down. Instead of the game having a time limit, the length will be decided by the number of plays. "I have not decided on the number of plays yet. Moon. said. Moore is looking forward to fall and the beginning of football season. "They (ASU players) are doing what they are doing right now so they can do what we ask of them this all," Moore said. The quarterback position is still undecided. "As of today, Bobby would have it. He and Lance have done extremely well. It (the quarter­ back position) is one of the most com­ petitive on the team," Moore said. The team has done everything that w as asked of them during spring prac­ tice. "They have accomplished everything that I wanted," Moore said. Moore is proud of the team's improvement. "I do not see any prob­ lems at all. They have gotten better everytimc we practice," Moore -aid. lie defense has done extremely wel during the spring practice. "A bunch have done well. I could go on and on naming players. About all ol them have done well on defense," Moore said. Lhe offensive also has seen SOUK great players step forward other thai the quarterbacks. "Richie lias doru well.

Here s a look at what's going on around the NHL.. . Patrick Division The Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers are deadlocked into what is presumed to be the best series in the second round. As of now, the Pens have a 3-2 games advantage after Mario Lemieux single-handedly shellacked the orange and black Tuesday night in Pittsburgh, Lemieux tied an NHL playoff record by scor­ ing four goals in the first period, in­ cluding the natural hat trick in'the first seven minutes of the game, leading to a five goal and three assist night as they beat the Flyers 10-7. Adios Continued from Page 9 the mound every fourth day. When Valenzuela first entered the limelight he was compared to the Steal Sandy Kofax. It is very ironic that Fernando's career may be cut •short just as Kofax's was. Give Valenzuela a key to L.A., put him on the cover of every sports magazine, retire his number, and make him a Spanish broadcaster for Dodger games, but don't send him to the mound anymore. Lemieux's performance was even more stunning because the night before he suffered a whiplashed neck in a collision with a teammate. Game 6 will be in the Spectrum, so don't be surprised if the game goes the full 7. Adams Division Montreal continued their domina­ tion of the Boston Bruins throughout the regular season with a 4 game to 1 drilling. Boston has not won in the Forum once this year and have never scored more than two goals in any of the games, either. Habs coach Pat Burns should be named the coach of the year for getting the Montreal boys •n line and playing their best hockey in years. Prediction: I'd like to see a Pitts­ burgh/Montreal series just to see the duels between Lemieux and Montreal goalie Patrick Roy.

The team that led the NHL in points proved why they won more games than anyone else by thoroughly disposing of the Los Angeles Kings.

Last fall, after the Chicago concert, A.P.P.S. listened to student input and brought Henry Lee Summer back to ASU for Yofest. Oaje problem students had with the Chicago show was that it was on jweeknight, when several of them could not attend. problem was addressed when Edie Brickell and New Bohemians came to ASU on a Saturday night. This show was more accessible to siudents and faculty, and attendance was high. Other bands brought to campus were obviously back by popular demand, such as Awareness Art Ensemble, The Connells, and Discord. The A.P.P.S. Film Series this year has been outstanding. Films such This ii The Wall, Life of Brian, The Lost Boys, Who Framed Roger Rahjl, and Heavy Metal are all excellent films which appeal to a wide variety of students. The Forum Series guests such as Jello Biafra and Mitch Snyder were also quality entertainment. longratuations, A.P.P.S. on an outstanding year of extremely popular programming! Keep up the good work! As I'm writing this, I'm pretty sick. My lungs ar competing in the high jump with every cough ana my sore throat makes me sound like I'm Froggy from the Little Rascals' next of kin. There's only one time I ever get sick... ever. It only happens when my twin sister Laura is having that fun female process every month she calls being "on the rag." Whenever that time of the month hits, I at least get grumpy, but every other month or so, I get sick. Now I've heard of girl roommates who begin their cycles at the same time after living together for a while, but Laura lives over in East Hall and I live in Doughton. I guess negative psychic brainwaves will travel any distance to make me go through my half of the monthly ritual. However, there's more to being a twin brother than going through the motions of the menstrual cycle. I didn't have much choice in the matter when Laura came along. I was born before her (by six minutes), and I'll make her remember that for the rest of her life (Heh heh). That's because she was bossy and wanted a little more space to herself. That was my first lesson ever about girls and how selfishly possessive they can be. She just kinda kicked me out, but the joke was on her since it was her time to go as well. As I grew up, my parents used to tell me tall tales about how I got here, but the one I'll remember first and foremost was the one about Laura and I being bought at a garage sale.. .she was the "buy one" and I was the "get one free," so my parents just couldn't refuse the offer. Laura says she's a business major, but by the time she turned seven, she'd received her Ph.D. on how to get me into trouble. She still lias some of her classic "Umm, I'm telling" looks in reserve whenever she wants to use them on me. She would never get the same punishment I got, because she'd get close to my dad and say "I'm sorry;" bin if I ever tried it, i' would never save me from having to Protect ASU's heritage 4|)ptiltK'hiun ( op\ Ltlilor Finally I'm leaving here for good. I didn't think this day would ever come. I still can't believe it. I'm not sure I like it.

'-ri Sound We spent the first six years of school in a small C atholic school in the suburbs of New Orleans which was operated by God-fearing, habit-wearing, yardstick-wielding nuns. Each grade had about 60 students and was divided into halves. Laura and I always ended up in opposite classes, but at the end of the year, we'd get top honors in each class, or at least somewhere near there. I don't suppose we ever really competed against each other, but it was nice to know the other top dog was your sister and not some fool you didn't like.

She tried to be a disciplinarian when I felt mum was doing a tyrannical enough job already. She'd give me everything short of the spanking. Laura liked to get me into trouble, but because I was the naive and stupid brother, I walked into most of her traps. I even liked to think I was perfecting that role while Laura was perfecting her role as a rat. 6) October 16, 1988 (Homecoming and Dawnie G.'s birthday!) ©1989 3? ^ If there.

The Appalachian tike that. As much as I've griped about the stress and the deadlines, I'm not going to know how to act when I'm not jumping around the newsroom shouting, "where is the copy?" Fortunately, I haven't had to do that too much this semester. Shelley, Trent, Jon, Jenelle, Bill, Shauna, Michele, Jeff, Roger, Eric, Ken, Sammy, and Mary Ann—you've all been great to work with and you've been great friends . Wnat will be harder than leaving this school or this paper—indeed, what will be one of the hardest things I've ever done—will be leaving my friends. You've made my time here, guys—I couldn't have made it through without you. Dawn, Kristen, Jane, Christi, Shelley, Tracy, Kelly, and Tammy—I love you all so much and 1 can't put into words how much I'll miss you, except to say you'll probably get sick of me visiting next year! The rest of you—there are too many of you to name, but you know who you are—I'll miss you, too. Some of you I'll miss more than you can imagine. That's it. Goodbye, ASU—I love you. Let's be careful not to practice reverse discrimination In reply to my colleague, Lisa Parks, and her article on blacks segregating themselves, I would like to share my feelings about a related topic on a wider scale. Your article concerns the issue of blacks segregating among themselves, but my main concern deals with the separation of blacks in society on an interracial scale. e ^y0u^oatyoThu^PPoer 6) Wednesday-to-Saturday weekends. 10) The snow (Yeah, right—lead me to Jamaica!) \ppuluubiaii ( olmnnisl •iC1"' 7) The Sheraton and Geeko's! 4) Violent Femmes (Let's sing "Add it Up" for those visiting parents!) By TODD JOHNSON wi Our friends become amazed when they see us together because even though we have the occasional squabble, we spend more time not even thinking of getting into arguments. As a friend of mine who visited over Christmas Break put it, "But the two of you. . .GET ALONG! How??" I guess if I knew how, it might blow everything to pieces. I don't even think about it too much. People ask if we're close and I don't know what they mean. We don't hang on each other, if that's what they want. Scientists have proven that some sets of twins can carry on telepathically, but I think we got as far as me getting sick when she's ragging it. We can finish each other's sentences once in a while, but I don't think anything special of it. We don't have things happen like she stubs her toe and I feel the pain, either. Maybe that happens after we turn 20. I really don't think of Laura as my twin sister first, but just my sister, not to mention the coolest one I have. I might not have had a choice when she came along, but I'm elad about the results. Now if I can shake this cold. . .jeez! I don't want to see what it II be like when she reaches morning sickness, labor pains, and menopause. Linnea reflects on the past: says adios By LINNEA MARTINSON j ASU Administrators seem to enjoy moving bits and pieces of Appachian heritage to the State Farm area. Many students are totally unaware that the collection exists, which is •fortunate. Information about our school which can be found in the Consortium would provide valuable information for various types of indent research projects. i yearbooks, newspapers and actual doc mentaries about this '{ion of the country are housed in the Universii } Hall and are very in­ vesting to look through. Instead of splitting up the collection to add a new Learning Assistance Program, the collection should have remained in tact, and a KwLAP location should have been developed. Many students do not have access to cars, particularly with the fchman parking situation as it is, and cannot have access to this area. though no verdict in the case has been rendered to date, Dr. Cor­ fu should be commended for taking a stand I# protect ASU's Wage—something the administration is obviously not concerned »ith. together, we never really had a "war of graces" with each other. She'd do her thing with the band and Odyssey of the Mind (If you know what it is, you know the headaches it brings for all of those involved) and I'd go work with the newspaper, be a member of the High-Q team, and debate myself silly. We'd both bring home awards for our work, but we never had a comparative contest. As we got older, we realized we were quite different, but we agreed to reach middle ground between us just to avoid any problems. I realized that lots of the prob­ lems I had with her were childish, so I just dumped them. I never liked carrying a hatchet, but if I had one, I buried it. Setting the social cliques aside, there is still a large dichotomy between the races themselves. Yes, some individuals from either group have come closer toward each other, but there's still a great distance to bridge between the groups as a whole. I've had more than one incident where I, being white, felt discriminated against by some of the blacks around me. Some people just assume, I suppose, that since I grew up in a small rural Bible-belt town that I'm automatically going to be prejudiced to them. 1 may be wrong in my observation, but it seems to me that the barrier is becoming more concrete rather than relaxing. Why have the racial barriers not fallen by now? Racial pride is probably one of the main reasons, and that is present on both sides of the gap. Racism is not just something that's present among the whites. It's true that the Neo-Nazi who views himself as a superior race is a racist, just as the white man who sterotypes an Afro-American as a "typical black man" is a racist. In the same vein, men such as Muhammad Ali, who throughout his fame ad­ vocated keeping the races separated and avoiding "blonde headed, green eyed negroes," are racists. Just as the black man who stereotypes a Southern anglo as a "white bigot" is racist. We have moved to a lot of color awareness lately which has led to more of the same racial pride. It's this kind of "We vs. They" attitude that has kept the races on opposite sides of the fence, each feeling somehow dif­ ferent or better than the other. Is this what we want or what people lost their lives in race riots for? The answer to that question should be NO. Lisa, when you state that "Blacks need t<? stick together and... become a closer unit oil campus," I begin to wonder what comes BSxt. Minorities can unite in order to probably gain something called "equality," but in order to finally relieve the racial strife, we're going to have to ease off on the pride we have in our races. A true equality won't exist until we are all able to look beyond color and see . one another for the quality of the peo­ ple themselves. Martin Luther King Jr. had very divine inspired words in his "I Have a Dream" speech, in which he expressed that one day "the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners can sit down together at the table of brotherhood.. .where lit­ tle black boys and little black girls can join hands with little white boys and little white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers." Together as sisters and brothers. Reverend King had a desire to see Unity, not just equality, respect or admiration. It's this unity we still lack and will until both sides of the river agree to swallow their pride and bridge the river not with manpower, not with legislation, but with Love. Lisa, I compliment you on your column. You had very good com­ ments, but just remember that coex­ isting among yourselves is only half of . the nuest �12 * .

D By SHELLEY KAEHR Appalachian Editor Plemmons Student Union will be expand­ ed within the next five years to include new recreational facilities, a theater and student organization offices. The Student Union Expansion Commit­ tee co-chaired by SGA President Gary Greene and Vice Chancellor for Student Development Dave Melntire, has examined the existing facility and made recommenda­ tions for the new addition. "When the committee first got together, we sat down and determined what we knew was going into the new Student Union, and then we made a wish list of all the things we thought someone would want in a union and cut the list down to be more realistic," Greene said. Last fall, a survey was sent out to students to determine what students would like to see in the new building. "We sent it (the survey) out to 2,202 students, and 488 were returned, which was a 22 percent response rate," Greene said. After evaluating the survey results it was revealed that a word processing/typing room, copier area, convenience store, study room and additional bank teller machines ranked high on the priority list among surveyed students. "The priorities for students' responses included a study room, word processing room, bank teller machines and a computer user room," Greene said. The expansion will also include a court­ yard area, theater, and offices for student organizations such as SGA, The Rhododen­ dron, The Appalachian and A.P.P.S. "I think it (the theater/auditorium) will affect the whole campus in many ways. A number of programs in the Forum Series could be brought in there, and I think it will benefit A.P.P.S. and students because we will be able to bring in more big name movies," Robertson said. In February, the expansion committee travelled to several universities including Emory, Clemson, Georgia Tech and University of Georgia to gather ideas. "It was really helpful for me to get the feel of those places and decide how Pd like a union to be," Director of Student Pro­ grams Dave Robertson said. "Personally, I feel our union is very func­ tional now, but too small and not really an inviting space that makes you want to come in there," he added. The architects, Dellinger, Lee, Niehol of Charlotte, will be in Boone this Thursday to seek student input on the appearance and facilities in the new union. "The architects will be in the union Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to answer questions and get ideas from students," Committee member and Panhellenic Presi­ dent Trixie Stone said. "This is an important time for students to have input on what our union will be like," Stone said. Honor students recognized By JON JIM1SON Appalachian News Editor and PATRICK PAEUMBO Appalachian Staff Writer Over 30 ASU students were recognized at the Honors Luncheon in Welborn Hall last Friday. The students honored were the top 10 in either the sophomore, junior or senior class. In order to qualify for the awards ceremony, the students were required to be full-time or recently graduated with a gradepoint average of at least 3.85. Chancellor John Thomas addressed the students in attendance. "This is a real family get together," Thomas said. "1 look forward to this every year — this is a special day for Appalachian." Thomas said he was proud of the special students and the facultv who tausht them. Dean of the General College Dr. O.K. Webb presented plaques to the sophomore students. Those students included: Dawn M. Cloninger, Victoria L. Creech, Julie A. Lada, Donald S. Lail, Traci D. Mclntyre, Dedie M. Smith, Jason T. Sprouse, Trigette K. Weatherman, George B. Williams and Chanie L. Wood. Dean of the School of Music Bill McCloud presented plaques to the junior winners who included: Martha A. Devoe, James M. Hanks, Amy E. Hissam, Lori A. Holland, Wendy M.

Appalachian Slaff Writer Competency testing may affect more students (CPS)—Even as critics are attacking stan­ dardized tests with fervor, more colleges say they will soon require students to pass com­ petency tests to take upper-level courses or to graduate. Students at Texas public colleges will have to pass basic skills tests starting in September. Individual schools, such as Nor­ thern Kentucky University and Metropolitan State College in Denver, will also start testing students next fall. Collegians and not a few administrators seem to hate the idea. "Why aren't our grades an accurate reflection of what we've learned," asked Northern Kentucky student Roger Adams. "It doesn't bode weli for higher educa­ tion," said Sarah Stockwell of Fairtest, a Massachusetts test watchdog group. But, fueled by the six-year-old school reform movement, the idea seems to be gaining speed. Florida, Tennessee and some colleges in Georgia already require students to take standardized tests that purport to measure what they have learned. A survey of 367 colleges by the Denver-based Educa­ tion Commission of the States (ECS) found that half of the schools imposed some sort of assessment test. In recent years students at Wayne State and Northeast Missouri State universities and the universities of South Dakota and Maryland have had to pass assessment tests to get their degrees or to take higher-level classes. "There hasn't been a lot of positive reac­ tion to assessment exams," ECS policy analyst Chris Paulson said. Critics argue such general tests often are "culturally biased," that they more accurately measure how thoroughly students have adopted middle-class values than how much they have learned. "Blacks and Hispanies, quite frankly, get killed," Renee Garcia, testing coordinator at Miami-Dade Community College in Florida, said. But more schools are imposing the tests, if only because politicians see them as a way to gauge how well colleges are educating students. The higher students score on the tests, the better the schools must be doing at teaching. "We think it's important for institutions to set priorities and goals, and then be able to show how they are meeting those goals," James Rogers of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools said, one of seven regional accrediting agencies. "These tests are great for politicians," Garcia said. "They are something they can understand very easily." Since 1983, with the release of several reports bemoaning the state of American education, some reformers—most notably former U.S. Secretary of Education William Bennett—regularly called for schools to be more accountable for their actions. Bennett annually displayed a "wall chart" of average Scholastic Aptitude Test scores in the states, saying their results reflected how good or bad the high schools in those states were. And college admissions officers themselves, frustrated by the number of col­ lege freshmen lacking such skills, pressured high schools to make students take com­ petency tests before graduating. But the initial reform wave has not always improved education, a half-completed study released March 28 at the San Fran­ cisco convention of the American Educa­ tion Research Association found. "States have focused on more manageable reforms," Rutgers University researcher William Firestone told the con­ ference. "I mean reforms that weren't too expensive or complex. Most refr-~ seemed to come out of a political dealmaking process." "Politicians are using the scores to make some critical decisions" about funding, Garcia said. As a result, "there's a lot of pressure on the teachers" to change their classes to teach students how to do well on the tests, not necessarily about the course's subject. Nevertheless, such reforms are starting to spread up from the high school to the col­ lege level. The tests "are a simplistic answer to a complicated problem," Fairtest's Stockwell said. "Something needs to be done before they get here," Mike Hulbert, president of the Students' Association at the University of Texas in Austin, said. "You can't make up for the 12 years of poor education before college." All Texas collegians will have to pass a three-part basic skills test before they can take upper-level classes. They can take the test as many times as they want, but each time will cost $24. The Florida program, in place since 1984, "has resulted in increased attention to com­ munications and computing skills in the curriculum," Florida Postsecondary Education Planning Commission member Patrick Dallet said. Some believe students in Kentucky will get used to the tests, too. "Reforms almost always start off hard and tough because they're usually coming down 011 someone, in this case students and teachers," University of Washington educator John Goocllad said at the San Francisco reform meeting in late March. "But then the soft and tender side comes back on stage," he said.

The U.S. Student Association represents student body presidents in Washington. "We hear comments like, 'I can't afford (college),' 'It's not worth it anymore,' 'How am I going to pay them back.' " Azcaratc said. "Some students." he added, "are *§ SALE facing the choice of making their loan payment or buying food. The only way to get an education is to gel loaned up." Robert Hochstein of the Carnegie Foundation guessed there will be other topics brought up, too: frater­ nity excesses, fear of crime, class seclion shortages and too many courses taught by graduate assistants and others. "Colleges have gone from 'in loco parentis' (meaning that colleges looked after students literally 'in place of the parent') to 'loco nothing,' " Hochstein said in speculating why college life might have come unhinged. "There is a changing student body; alcohol, drugs." The study results will be presented to the A( F. s January, 1990, meeting. After that, Hochstein only hoped its results will remain "visible." "It will represent a step toward consciousness-raising on issues like racism and date rape, as well as creating an awareness of good prac­ tices on some campuses. We hope it will stimulate reform and improvement." 20% OFF SWIM WEAR j 885 Faruhy S t r e e t (Next to Pizza Man) ! 264-lJTAN • 704-262-8826 $3.00 Off Tanning Packagesj And Memberships . i limit one coupon per person 0 " F P ( '™ " ^p I ^^JjjoMjhlifl with o t hor (^scotnUs^l T L,mi1 om> rV r Hd S V/'jl * * Attention • • X( Jobs Available with ASU Food Services Applications will be accepted begining April 24 For Summer & Fall Semesters & / Apply, in person, to. . .

I don't know If you were driven to tears by Bill's article that appeared in last Tuesday 's Appalachian, but I gotta te ll ya, it not only turned my love stomach and made me want to t h r0 w away all my Rod McKuen anthologies, it got me a little mistyeyed, thinking about how naive we all are. I think it started when we were babies. I know that girl children, especially, are weaned on fairy tales, the kind with the gallant prince and the fair princess who gets swept off her feet and carried off to some faraway castle to live a life of bliss, happiness, and, probably, Lysol. But no matter. She's got a fabuloso Rob Lowe-type who will love her to the ends of the earth, worship her, adorn her with flowers. Though princesses never have PMS, cellulite, or hysterectomies, even if they DID, their princes would never stop adoring them. Unfortunately, the line between what to expect from a Little Golden book and what to expect from Real Life is pretty damn fuzzy. 1 know I grew up searching for a prince, but not necessarily one riding a charger wearing a gold lame. No, 1 desired a more modern Romeo—a guitar totin', cigarette smokin' blues man with perfect skin and faded Levi's. A tortured artist type with a tough exterior and a sensitive heart. One who would wash the dishes and always understand me. Maybe one day I'll find him. More likely, though, like all women everywhere, I'll only fantasize about him. After going through a series of tortured, torturing relationships with People Who Were Never Right For Me Anyway and beating my head and other extremities against countless brick walls, I'll still emerge hopeful that my prince is still waiting, somewhere on a foggy street in France, with a book of Sylvia Plath in one coat pocket, a package of Lucky Strikes, and a heart that's done nothing but wait around for the perfect someone (me, natch) all bis life. Even after all the failures, 'be heartaches, the misunderstandmgs, the arguments, the feelings mashed between the past and the future, 1, like all other women, will bold a special place inside that only Prince Charming can fill. Why do w s consistently do this? Cynicism never wins out in the end, though be may sleep with you for a few w eeks every once in a while. Naivete, the purest form of hope, w ill rear its cute Little head once again, and you'll be back out on the streets, looking, waiting, hoping. But, Bill, Bill, Bill—listen to me, P'ease. Love is NOT really a cruel jube. It's more like a tickle, fol­ ded by a good, hard pinch. I n k we would all be better off if °ur parents (moms, mostly) would ejl us about "love," and not Love."

Participants will tour the home of Thomas Wolfe, author of novels including Look Homeward, Angel and You Can't Go Home Again, in his hometown of Asheville. Wolfe, who died in 1938 at age 38, was one of America's most loved authors, writing primarily about his boyhood, his family and his hometown. " . . .And all of it is as it has always been: again, again, I turn, and find again the things that I have always known: the cool sweet magic of starred mountain night, the huge attentiveness of dark, the slope, the street, the trees, the living silence of the houses waiting, and the fact that April has come back again," Wolfe wrote in his essay, Return, which was published in the Asheville CitizenTimes a year before his death. Wolfe enrolled at UNC-CH in 1916 at the age of 16. During his four years there, he served as editor-in-chief of the student newspaper, The Tar Heel, and two of his plays— The Return of Buck Gavin and The Third Night—were staged by the Carolina Playmakers. He also received the Worth Prize for an essay, The Crisis in Industry. Wolfe graduated in 1920, and enrolled in the Harvard Graduate School. Look Homeward, Angel was published in 1929, and in 1932 his novel, A Portrait of Bascifin Hawke, was published in Scrihner'^Magazine and won the $5000 ScribneUs Short Novel Prize. The Web and the Rock See WOLFE Page 6 Muslims unfazed by verses (CPS)—For Mohammed, an Ira­ nian student at the University of Idaho, the fears and riots and con­ troversy about novelist Salman Rushdie's book Satantic Verses seem far removed. While in 1979 the 50,000-some Ira­ nian students then studying in the United States reported frequent in­ cidents of harassment from their American-born classmates angered by the holding of American hostages in Teheran, Mohammed (who asked that his real name not be used) said the possibility that he could become a local target for anti-Iranian prejudices provoked by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's offer to pay for Rushdie's murder never occured to him. " I haven't heard of any problems," Mohammed said. "The peope here in Idaho are very nice." Mohammed's experience appears to be typical. The 9,000 Iranians still on U.S. campuses say the upheaval about Rushdie and the rise in tensions between the United States and Iran hasn't affected them much at all. "I'd be surprised if anythng came up," said Colin Davies of the Na­ tional Association for Foreign Stu­ dent Affairs in Washington, D.C. "There may by hightened anti-Kho­ meini feelings, but I don't think there will be problems for students." Some others are less certain. "Unless there is an attempt by the (American) media to understand why the Muslim world is offended, there will be a rise of opposition to Islam in this country," predicted Seyyed Hossein Nasr, an Islamic Studies pro­ fessor at George Washington Univer­ sity. Many Muslims maintain Rushdie's book blasphemes the prophet Mohammed in a fictional dream se­ quence in which Mohammed momen­ tarily recognizes women as saints. Muslim clerics in Pakistan and Iran heatedly denounced the book as it was being released in Europe and the United States in mid-February, touching off wild anti-Rushdie and anti-West demonstrations. Iranian leader Khomeini then called for the murder of Rushdie and anyone else associated with the publication of the book, promising $2.4 million—a bounty later increased to $4.9 million—to Rushdie's assassin. "One has to look at what's going on in Iran," to understand the con­ troversy surrounding book, suggested Salem Ajluni, an associate professor of economics at North Carolina's Guilford College. "You don't hear of Muslims pro­ testing in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia or Nigeria," said Ajluni. "The image the media have painted is that the Muslim world is reacting to this book, but most of the controversy has been in Iran." Ajluni maintained isolationists in Iran are using the book to help them steer the nation clear of Western in­ fluences in the policy vacuum after the war with Iraq, which ended in 1988. He pointed out the European com­ munity's withdrawal of its diplomats from Iran in protest of the murder contract is exactly what the Iranian isolationists want to fulfill "their vi­ sion of what the Islamic Republic should be." Ajluni and other Islamic scholars on American campuses say they've been disturbed by the way they're be­ ing portrayed in the media's accounts of it. "The media portray this as 'us ver­ sus them,' that (Muslims) don't ap­ preciate freedom of thought like the West does," Ajluni complained. "But there are people who are lessthan-tolerant on both sides. It's the way Iran interprets it." "I don't buy the argument that the West is more tolerant," Nasr added. "If a similar book was published attacking Martin Luther King, it would be called racist and it certainly wouldn't* be reviewed in the New York Review of Books and other prestigious journals." Nasr called the condemnation of See MUSLIMS Page 6 Appalachian Photo by lori HowktfM SATANIC VERSES: Except for perhaps a mild interest in the con­ troversy surrounding the book, ASU students have been unfazed by Satanic Verses. While we may not have given the topic any thought, this book and all the hullabaloo surrounding it could be problematic for Muslim students in the U.S. Fortunately, the book and its con­ troversy have not seriously affected Muslim students. Satanic Verses can be purchased in Boone, despite the fact that some bookstores have banned the title from their shelve. Oranges aren't naturally orange and other wisdom from Wellness Center Oranges aren't always naturally orange, and some of the 100 percent natural" foods you find in the grocery store may not be the best for you, says an Appalachian State University dietitian. Most of the food we eat has ad­ ditives, whether the substance added is sugar, salt, food colorings or preservatives. Food manufacturers are required by law to list ingredients and addivites in decreasing order. Learning to read product labels and being able to delete unnecessary pro^ ducts from your diet is a big step toward understanding how additives affect you, said Beth Binner, who teaches foods and nutrition courses at ASU. Binner is leading a portion of a six-week nutrition workshop offered in the university's Wellness Center. Some of the 100 percent natural cereals in grocery stores have sugar added, while others do not. Con­ sumers should learn to read the labels in order to pick out the product that is best for them. People trying to cut out any unnecessary fat or calories should pick the sugarless cereal, Binner said. Parents should check labels on baby food—some add sugar, some don't. Additives such as coloring or artificial flavor are used in many foods, even cheeses and fruits. Con­ sumers concerned about their health and interested in obtaining the healthiest diet possible, should plan to eliminate as many of those additives as possible—and that means reading labels. Learning to read labels can help consumers determine the percentage of fat, protein or other nutrient they are getting from a product, Binner said. For example, 1 gram of car­ bohydrates = 4 calories; 1 gram of protein = 4 calories; 1 gram of fat 9 calories; and 1 gram of alcohol = 7 calories. If one serving of a product has 9 grams of fat (mulitply 9 4 9, and the fat account for 81 calories) and there are 150 total calories in the serv­ ing, 54 percent of the serving is fat. For health purposes, Binner said, fat shouldn't account for more than about 30 percent of the product. Many products also include oils, and food labels also include impor­ tant information about those. Oils us­ ed in liquid forms are better than solid oils, which are the most saturated and higher in fat and cholesterol. Palm' and coconut oils, butter and lard are the worst oils or fats to use, while soy­ bean oil—which isn't saturated—is the best, Binner said. Many products are high in sodium and MSG, a flavor enhancer com­ monly used in restaurants. Many peo­ ple are sensitive to MSG, which may cause headaches or other symptoms. Salt—one item consumers are becoming more interested in as See ORANGES Page 6 �THE APPALACHIAN. TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 1989 Professors t ""Iinued from Page 5 to recognize the fact that blacks can excel in anything." iecause ASU once emphasized l citing, and because the reputation of \SU is changing (1 of the 10 top Wolfe colleges), demands on faculty members are changing. The demands of scholarship are increasing which also adds to the difficulty of finding qualified (those professors with Ph.D.s in their areas of study) black professors. MINOR'S PRINTING 115 W. Howard Street, Boone Special attention given to Music Programs Muslims Continued from Page 5 Muslim anger at the book an example "Western totalitarian cultural domination." Europeans and North tericans don't understand that Muslims view The Satanic Verses as "hate literature." "If I was the leader of a state that is based on Islam," said Karen Feste, a professor of international relations at the University of Denver, "and there was an attack on that religion, I'd view it as an attack on the state as well. The natural reaction is despera­ tion, and often violence." Yet most observers don't see students like Idaho's Mohammed having trouble readjusting to such an intellectual climate once they return home Irom their Western campuses. "When they return, it depends on how far they've accepted Western v ties, said Nasr. "If they come home as good engineers, they are ac­ cepted without problems. But if they come home and drink every night, that's not acceptable. It varies from family to family, nation to nation." Most students from the Middle East return home and say Americans are friendly, open, honest people, although they're ignorant of what's going on in the rest of the world," Ajluni said. But personal contacts help ease ten­ sions, he added. "People are people. They'll get along just fine if you let thein. It s only when governments get involved do things get screwed up." Rushdie, an Indian-born Muslim now living in the United Kingdom, was in hiding under the protection of British security forces as of the third week of February.

Diet drinks,' although lower in iloties, are high in phosphoric acid, which can decrease the amount of calcium in the body, she said. In addition, products which pro­ mise amazing results or better health may not be worth looking at, Binner said. If it sounds too good to b p true, it probably is," she said.

I he Apps played three games against Western Carolina in C ullowhee. The team which won two of the three games was to place first in the Southern conference and be awarded a first-round bye in the tour­ nament. walk followed. An error by the App second baseman and a Western home run produced the final score. Appalachian coach Jim Morris said, "It was an example of where the best team clearly did not win." He added that Western Carolina just got lucky. In game two Saturday, Appalachian very clearly dominated Western, scoring sixteen runs off of sixteen hits. Western Carolina had only four hits. Final score for the 7 he Mountaineers finished nine and six in the conference. This places them second in the final conference regular-season standings, behind Western Carolina. The Apps' overall record is 27 and II, with one non-conference game and the Southern Conference Tournament remaining to be played. In game one, Appalachian was defeated 11 to 10. The Apps led 10 to 7 up until the last inning. At this point, a bad hop to third base struck the third baseman in the mouth, allowing the runner to reach first. A second game was Appalachian 16, Western Carolina 5. Game three, therefore, was the determining factor for the regular season conference title. Although the game was close from beginning to end, Appalachian was defeated 5 to 3 by the Cats. The Mountaineers left fourteen men stranded on base, leav­ ing the bases loaded on four different occasions. A crucial throwing error in the fifth inning allowed three unearned runs to score, contributing heavily to ASU's loss. Morris felt his team had several opportunities to win, but was unable to cash on them. . The Mountaineers finished nine and six in the conference. This places them second in the final conference regular-season standings, behind Western Carolina. The Apps' overall record is 27 and 11, with one nonconference game and the Southern Conference Tournament remaining to be played. The Mountaineers play Milligan in a non-conference game Tuesday at 3 p.m. here in Boone. The Southern Conference tournament begins Thurs­ day in Asheville. The ASU team plays at 3 p.m. II they win this game, they play again Friday at 3 p.m. versus the winner of the Marshall-Furman matchup. If they lose on Thursday, they play again at 11:00 on Friday. Intramural Basketball winners By SABRINA SELLS Special lo the Appalachian The Office of Recreational Sports would like to announce the 1989 In­ tramural basketball winners. For the women, Fast Break captured the In­ tramural title with a 8-2 season by defeating the Hoopstars 55-53. In the men's competition, Top Gun won the championship after an undefeated 12-0 season by defeating the Ego Busters 60-48. For Fast Break, an Intramural championship was the goal of the season. According to team captain Jennifer Harris, the team had a set game plan. "We wanted to fast break a lot and play team ball," she said. "That was the key to our game. It was also the reason we called ourselves Fast Break." Fast Break has been playing ball together for three years, but each year they have added new faces and talent to the roster. "We have four of our original team still playing." Harris said. "Each year we have added people to the team to make up for the players we have lost." Harris commented that while the entire team played well together, Cat men Nelon was the team's outstanding scorer. "Carmen was the key to the team scoring," she said. "When they would double or triple team her in­ side, though, we would just kick the ball outside and score. Carmen did an outstanding job, but we all played well as a team." In a competition that began with over 150 men's teams, Top Gun was the sole survivor after a big season. Team captain Mike Cureton felt that Top Gun's winning edge was the fact that they all had played football together. "Teamwork was a big part of our success," he said. "We had played basketball with each other in pick-up games, so we knew how each of the other players played. It was really a lot easier to play with people we were used to practicing with in football." The Top Gun team made it to the semi-finals of the intramural basket­ ball tournament last year, but this year they added one key player and kept the rest of the team intact to seal the 1989 championship. Cureton felt that everybody on the team con­ tributed to the victory, but each player had a specific outstanding role. "Donnie Durham had a great tour­ nament with his good outside shooting," he said. "We wouldn't have made it without him. Good re­ bounding by Mickey Ray and Jeff Fairley and Sam Wesley's leadership were keys to our success too." Congratulations to Fast Break and Top Gun! The Office of Recreational Sports would also like to thank all of f he teams who participated in the 19<89 basketball intramurals competi­ tion . Appalachian Photo by Keith Harrison ASU BASEBALL: The ASU baseball team is coming off a disappoin­ ting loss at Western Carolina this past weekend. The loss dropped the Mountaineers out of first place and into second place, going into the Southern Conference Tournament this weekend in Asheville. The baseball team ends the regular season today in a game at 3 p.m. against Milligan College. ASU is also proud to have the SC player of the week, Steven Hollins, who batted .476 for the week. Mountaineer mania Since the Braves are a game above .500, it is time to ask the Atlanta Braves question before the team begins to drop. This is a real easy question so everyone should be able to answer it. How many career home runs did Hank Aaron hit?

The Cadre made it to the finals by defeating the MS IA team and the MS IV team. The MS III advanced to the tournament with a first round bye and a win over the MS IB team. The Cadre took the lead early by scoring two runs in each of the first JJj ere a r e a few awards I want to °ut to the players and the two innings while holding the MS III squad scoreless. But this would be all the runs that the Cadre was able to score. The MS 111 team scored one run in the bottom of the second inning to make the score 4 -1. In the bottom of the fifth inning, the MS 111 squad exploded for three runs to lie the score and send the game into extra innings. The Cadre scored one run in the lop half of the inning to end the scoreless streak. In the bottom of the most deserve praise I 'he Obnoxious Guy.

Fuller is competing against Lance Redding for the starting quarterback position. Spring football comes to an end this week with the Gold and Black game. This is the first time this year that Head Coach Jerry Moore has seen the team since taking over the job in March. The game is scheduled for kickoff at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. All students and fans are asked to come and see the Mountaineers in their last practice before the fall. The team has practiced hard over the past few weeks and seems to be ready for the beginning of football season even though it does not begin until last August. vr win &o, per*: * inning Mike Brown hit a double and scored on Sayoko Yanagida single tying the score.

Religion and politics, oh boy! Leatha provides some points to By LEATHA FIELDS Appalachian (olun HI isI A Commentary Seems like everyone in the entire free world and their brother has had comments to express lately regarding the arenas of religion, politics, you name it. Big issues I have been accus­ ed of being shallow and self-serving and just basically apathetic to the plight ol the real world" because I do not address these issues in my col­ umns. Shallow, maybe; self-serving, definitely, but gimme a break. I myself think that belching is just as apropros to college students as religion or politics. "Have a little fun" is my philosophy. If you lose the fun in your life, what have you got left? A mountain of dirty laundry, a philosophy textbook, a mouthful of theories about the nature of the universe, and a nervous ulcer. But if you really WAN I another expression of someone who pretends to be knowledgeable's opinion about Im­ portant Issues, you got it. Here's what I have to say about religion: A small red-haired girl with freckles spattering Iter face is wearing a frilly white dress that reaches to mid-thigh. She also has on shiny black patent leather shoes, the ones her mother bought at Pic *N' Pay the afternoon before. She clutches a plastic-bound Bible in her tiny hands. The Bible has her name written in blue ink on the in­ side cover. She is very proud. As she enters the big double doors of her local church, she holds her mother's hand. She likes the stained glass win­ dows over the pews. They are very pretty. She sits on a bench and holds her hands in prayer, the way she sees her mother do. She bows her head and thinks about her puppy. When the offering plate comes, she puts a dime into it. She is very pleased with herself. She swings her two little feet above the ground. She is having fun. < Here's what I have to saypolitics: Two men are seated at a , table. They look across at eacli and shake hands. They know w going on. They are concerned ; their country.

Gasiorowski's letter in the April 18 issue of The Appalachian, I would first like to point out that, although it is his perfect right to do so, Mr. » Gasiorowski should use caution when placing labels. Calling those who are concerned about the en­ vironment "liberal meat-heads" is encompassing a lot more individuals than he may realize, including the majority of the world's educated community. I would also advise Mr. Gasiorowski to check his facts. He apparently has no concept of halflife and the amount of time necessary for high-level nuclear waste to become environmentally sale. The most important point that I would like to stress, however, is that if we dismiss tragedies such as the Exxon oil spill (which, by the way, has resulted in a great deal more than an "oil-covered beach") as the price our society must pay" we arc completely copping out. We are denying our responsibilities toward our environment, ourselves and future generations. No one is denying that we are all part of (lie problem, but attitudes like Mr. Gasiorowski's have certainly not helped to raise anyone's level of consciousness. (But, hey, what do I know?

Greek Service Project On Saturday, April 15 the Alpha-Omicron pledge dassof Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity cleaned Kraut tteek for their pledge class service project. Kraut creek runs directly through the ASU campus along Rivers Street. Many of the Greek and non-Greek organizations n campus perform various service projects to benefit and beautify the community. TKE's^past pledge classes have done such things as clean area churches, make a haunted house on Halloween for irea youths, visit rest homes, make a float for the homecoming parade, clean along sides of highways, have food drives for the needy and stuff envelopes or charity organizations. This semester's pledge pass spent approximately six hours working on Saturday and accumulated eight 30-gallon bags of '®h from the creek. Over Easter Break, TKE rolled a keg 100 miles on eway to Myrtle Beach to raise money for Oasis «• The fraternity made $1000 for Oasis which onefits battered women and children. Coors Light sponsored the event. MICHELE HOLLOWELL Appalachian Staff Writer and Diversions Editor Yofest, ASU's annual Spring concert sponsored by A.P.P.S., will be held at Upper Stadium field on Satur­ day. The concert will feature three bands offering a diverse range of musical styles. First onstage at 12 p.m. will be The Connells. This band from Raleigh just released their third album, Fun & Games, which has received critical acclaim. Next onstage will be Henry Lee Summer, who opened for Chicago in Varsity Gym last semester. The final group will be Awareness Art Ensemble, a favorite reggae band who has appeared at ASU many times. The fest is expected to last until 7 or 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 for students in advance and $7 at the gate and for non-students. They can be purchased at the Stu­ dent Union Box Office from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. today and Fri­ day. The fact is that the buzz is out on the Connells more strongly than for the alter­ native band since REM, and frankly they deserve it. • Students who are 21 are allowed to bring in a 12-pack of beer to the show, but no bottles are allowed. Food services will be providing refreshments, and students can use their meal cards to purchase food. Students are encouraged to bring blankets to sit on. Light rain will not affect Yofest, however if there is a downpour or thunderstorm, the concert will be moved to Varsity Gym starting at 8 p.m. Staff writer Pruitt Allen spoke with The Connells' manager about the band and wrote the following profile: When I was in Washington, D.C. last semester, I had a friend named Anne, who went to I.U. in Bloomington, In­ diana. Anne and I were coming out of a meeting one day when she said to me, "Want to go to the 9:30 Club next week? This great band is playing—I saw their video on MTV." Instinctively wary (MTV?!), I asked her if she remembered the name of the band. "The Connells I think." I surprised Anne by screaming, jumping up in the air and pulling her in tow (Anne is a small person). You see, DAY OF SUN AND FUN: That's right—Yofest is finally here! Awareness Art Ensemble will be the last band to perform. Bring your friends, bring my alma mater and that of part of the band are the same. I own everything they have ever recorded. I have a little Connells shrine which I bow to every evening just after flossing. But I had never seen them live. And so Anne and I found ourselves the very next week in the catacombs of F Street, looking at the best band from the South since.. .you know. The fact is that the buzz is out on the Connells more By NICOLE PARSONS Appalachian Staff Writer Student Government voted on justice nominees and passed two bills in its last meeting Tuesday night. Senate accepted Glenn Roseman as the new Chief Justice to serve for the 1989-1990 academic year. Roseman, a rising senior, served previously as an associate freshman gained the ability and responsibility to lead the (student) court next year," Roseman said. In addition to Roseman—senior, junior and sophomore justice nominees were also justice, an alternate sophomore justice and as an associate junior justice. "1 feel I have accepted.

One Junior Justice position still remains open. Deborah Osterhoudt and Mike Miller were accepted as full sophomore justices and Andrew Curtis as an alternate. "I have served as a Freshman Justice this semester and would like to continue, I really enjoy it," Curtis said. "It teaches you a lot about human nature and the judiciary process," he said. The two senate bills passed were on Greek housing and Kiotse boards. SGA President Gary Greene previously introduced the Greek housing bill to encourage the Senate to support Greek housing on campus. Greene has met with the Administration and the Board of Trustees to discuss its feasibility, which would result in more residential housing for other students. "With a good committee working on this, we are looking at pushing this project up two to three years," Greene said. The administration has agreed to hire an architect to study the need for expanded housing. He will work closely with a student committee to put forth suggestions to the Administration. Senator Sam Herard introduced the Kiostes board bill. These boards will be erected in front of the Student Union and other highly trafficked areas such as Newland/A parking lot, and the East/Lovill fork on Locust Street. Advertisements and other materials could be placed on corkboard underneath locked glass. However, the Kioste boards will not be lighted because determining which departments will pay for the lighting bill is still in question. Other old business accepted during the three and a half hour meeting were the SGA budget, Board of Judiciary review changes and election bylaws. Two new positions, minority affairs committee chair and public affairs assistant, were approved for the 1989-1990 budget.

Admissions standards change ASU News Bureau High school students planning to attend ASU or other UNC system schools should be working on completing a new set of re­ quirements for admission to those schools. Beginning in the fall of 1990, students will be required to complete the following courses: English I-IV; three courses of math—algebra I and II and geometry, or some other course with an algebra II prere­ quisite; two social studies courses—U.S. history and an elective; and three science courses—life science (such as biology), physical science (such as chemistry or physics) and an elective. Two foreign language courses are recom­ mended, but are not required by all schools, and students should also plan on taking ad­ ditional electives. ASU does not require students to take a foreign L^jage, but does highly recommend it, admisssions director Joe Watts says. Admissions officers at ASU are visiting elementary, junior high and high schools in Watauga, Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Caldwell, Catawba, Mitchell and Wilkes counties to discuss the new re­ quirements. They are also available to talk to civic groups or other organizatons.

El Cetera Editor During the 21 years he has taught at Appalachian State University, many students have had the privilege of studying under ASU's writer-inresidence, John Foster West. West teaches American Literature, Com­ position and Rhetoric, and Creative Writing, and his classes are always among the first to fill up. Students who are registered in one of the two classes he will be teaching this fall are particularly fortunate, since West will retire January 1st, 1990. Known by many as "Dr. West," West does not actually hold a doc­ toral degree. "Any old scholar can get a Ph.D.," West says. "It takes brains to write." West continues that he grew tired of explaining to people that he is not a doctor. "It's flattering, really," he says. When West was granted full professorship in October 1978, he was only one of two pro­ fessors in the College of Arts and Sciences who was not a Ph.D. West was born and raised in Wilkes County, in a tiny cabin nestled deep in the southeastern Appalachian region. He still lives in the mountains, but now resides in a black-trimmed, gold chalet on the crest of the Blue Ridge mountains. He holds this area dear to his heart, and eagerly shares his fascinating life experiences with anyone who asks. I started reading at an early age—I guess writing is just something that's always been in me. Walker: Why do you feel it is impor­ tant for readers to know about the Appalachian mountain lifestyle? West: This area is important because it is one whole Walker: You have another novel, tentatively due May 1st. Could you tell a bit about it? West: Walker: Do you derive all your works from personal experience? West: Walker: You started writing at the age of 8—what made you choose writing as an outlet? West: Shakespearean sonnet that says "Love's not time's fool." I say it is. Time con­ trols love—sooner or later, death or something ends it. A great deal of my work comes from my own experiences growing up in Wilkes County, and some of my inspiration comes from observing others who share my experiences. I also draw from my life with my wife and three children. When I was working my way through college, I worked in a mental institution for two years. Spending up to 20 hours a day on duty with these people helped me to become very perceptive of others, and helped me tremendously in my writing as well. Walker: Do you plan to keep writing after you retire? West: Oh yes indeed. I will just begin to write. I'm writing a new novel now about my life with my wife, who was killed in a car accident 23 years ago this month. It's called Love: Time's Fool. I adapted the title from a It's called The Summer Peo­ ple. I wrote it back in 1974, but when 1 sent it to Ran­ dom House, they said it was "too regional." I became disgusted and put it away until December 1988 when I saw an advertisement in the Watauga Democrat for a contest sponsored by the Appalachian Consortium Press. It was chosen unanimously out of 30 entries from 7 states, and went into publication. The book's theme is basically a praise of the mountains and a protest against the rape of the Appalachian mountains for the sake of tourism. Walker: Describe characters. West: the book's The main character is a 26-year-old woman who married a Navy pilot when she was 17. He was killed in Vietnam, and she can't believe that he is gone and she is single again. His remains are finally found and buried in Arlington Cemetery the day before the story opens, six years after his death. She returns to the mountains for a summer, to adjust and try to get on with her life. She is modeled after a real woman, to whom the book is dedicated. Walker: What has been your best received work? Appolochian Photo by Randy Brooks JOHN FOSTER WEST: ASU has the privilege of being home to a prominent Southern writer, "Dr." John Foster West. West teaches several classes, including creative writing. His new book, The Summer People, is due for release May 1. An autograph session will be held at the ASU Bookstore. West: Time Was, without a doubt. It received rave reviews all across the country, and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1965. The book is now out of print, and the first edition sells for $75-$80 in rare bookstores in New York. The story is about my parents and my childhood. West describes himself in one of his poems as "The egotist who loves women." He is sincere, though, and a natural charmer whose quick wit and ready smile make him a pleasant con­ versationalist. His speech is very frank and open, often peppered with profanity, but is always honest. Like a Prayer" displays Madonna's talent 66 By MARK S.WILLIAMS Appalachian Staff Writer A queen's crown looms over the words Madonna and "Like A Prayer;" all are illuminated from behind by a star, all cover Madonna's belly button on the cover of her new album, Like A Prayer. Interesting questions come to mind from studying the cover design. Does this "mother of God" (as the name Madonna implies) consider herself a star and a queen? Does the cover in­ dicate that she feels her popularity emanates only from her sexual ap­ peal? Or, does her name, the album title, consistent symbolism, and song titles like "Dear Jessie," "Oh Father" and "Act of Contrition" make this album the best concept album Madonna has ever produced? Regardless of what Madonna thinks about herself, this is the best album that she has ever released. In fact, I am amazed that Madonna could produce a good album. I have never been a Madonna fan, but this album is good. While this is a more thoughtful effort than her previous records, Madonna has not sacrificed the "pop styled" sound which has brought her success. The controversial hit single and title-track "Like A Prayer" is a good start for the LP. This song, which ex­ presses more thought than 1 believed Madonna possessed, describes the mysterious, awe-surrounded presence and power of her call to take you 'There." The location of "There" is open for debate. Perhaps Madonna is speaking of a climactic sexual ex­ APPS perience? Or, perhaps she implies some metaphysical freedom through some mystic transcendental ex­ perience. Both are plausible after studying the video, which seems to be both anti-racist and highly sexual. Regardless, the song is open to inter­ pretation and is probably better left uninterpreted. The second track, "Express Yourself," is more typical of previous Madonna songs and leaves much to be desired. This song is really not worth mentioning, and the album would have been better if it had been omitted. "Love Song" was co-written with Prince, and as you would expect, takes on a characteristically Prince­ like sound. Another song (or perhaps piece) on the album, "Act of Contri­ tion," which was "produced by the powers that be," takes on a Prince­ like sound, although he did not help produce i'.. "Love Song" is the last song of love in a broken relationship. It is, perhaps, the vaguest song on the entire album. On the other hand, "Act of Contrition" can't really be considered a song, as there are few words in it. The piece sounds like it is being played backwards; this adds to the religious (or anti-religious) significance of the album. Madonna's autobiographical "TiTT Death Do Us Part" sounds hauntingly like Berlin's song "Metro." Berlin's "Metro" presents a tragic relationship in the guise of a sad-butit-will-get-better-it-sucks-l-don't-care attitude that combines for a great song. Madonna's "Till Death Do Us Part" does the same thing but adds to the angst of the Berlin song. The bruises, they will fade away You hit so hard with the things you say I will not stay to watch your hate as it grows You're not in love with some­ one else You don't even love yourself Still I wish you'd ask me not to go The lyrics blend with the music nicely to make the song one of the best on the album. Two other songs, "Oh Father" and "Spanish Eyes," stand out in the best-songs-on-the-album category and are worth a quick mention. If "Oh Father" is about Madonna's father, then I have a sym­ pathetic attitude toward her. The song relates a story of child abuse and misplaced love; however, the underly­ ing theme of the story is the everlasting hurt the child endures and the urge to believe that the father "can't hurt me now." The or­ chestrated accompaniment increases the inherent sadness in the song. "Spanish Eyes" intensifies the religious theme in the album by ques­ tioning a god who would let bad things happen to good people. The song deals with the plight of a loved one who is evidently lost in the con­ flict of war. The Spanish-sounding guitar adds a new dimension of sadness of the album's existential outlook. dazzle you with festival will By MARY GATES Special to The Appalachian 'Be Dazzled" is the theme of the Lively Arts Festival which will be held April 24-29 at ASU.

Cool it; win money WASHINGTON, D.C.—National Wildlife Federation (NWF) is urging College Campuses to "COOL IT!" by fashioning projects in their own communities that will help halt the global warming trend. The student-led "COOL IT!" pro­ gram will be kicked off nationwide on April 22, the date annually celebrated as Earth Day. By Earth Day, 1990, the 20th anniversary of the nation's largest citizens demonstration, student-initiated "COOL IT!" pro­ jects will "be well underway nation­ wide. The success of these projects will lead the way for a major nation­ wide or even worldwide celebration. "The very words 'global warming' make us believe it is a global problem, not a local probleni. That is precisely the misconception the 'COOL IT!' program is designed to reverse," said NWF President Jay D. Hair. "All en­ vironmental problems are really local problems. And when they are not solved at the local level, the problems naturally evolve into global dilemmas. "Furthermore, global problems can best be solved at the local level. The 'COOL IT!' program will show student and community leaders that they can, indeed make a difference and determine the quality of the world in which they live," Hair con­ cluded. Under the program, a single "COOL IT!" project wil be recog­ nized by NWF on each campus. The recognized project will be encouraged to involve all possible segments of the university community in devising a sound, local approach to the problem of global warming. The local pro­ grams are expected to become sus­ tainable community projects rather than ending when today's college leaders leave the campuses. "The scope of acceptable projects is wide," according to Jody Thomas, Director for Earth Day Programs. In some cases, the local effort could be an extension of an existing program. For example, some campus "COOL IT!" projects may expand existing recycling programs to double or triple the amount of waste that is reused rather than land-filled. Other cam­ puses may try to persuade food establishments to eliminate plastic packaging that contribute to the pro­ blem of global warming. "In all cases, the projects will pro­ duce measurable results, not only heightening the public's enviromental consciousness, but making progress towards specific environmental goals," said Thomas. In addition, every college campaign will be encouraged to use the "COOL IT!" slogan—"Earth Day, Every Day." NWF will provide direct sup­ port to campus organizations by assigning regional staff to work with students in designing projects,- devis­ ing fundraising strategies jant] main­ taining an information network with other students involved in "COOL IT!" programs. The "COOL IT!" campaign will culminate during Earth Day 1990 ac­ tivities with a report on student achievements toward stemming global warming and the announcement of special merit awards for outstanding and creative projects. Special merit projects will receive a $2,500 award to be used for enviromental program­ ming at the college or in the com­ munity. Environmental problems have become increasingly complex and commonplace in the past decade: Americans face such thorny issues as toxic contamination of neighborhoods, health-threatening acid rain and contaminated ground­ water, among a host of others. But no environmental problem may be as im­ mediate—or as reversible—as the pro­ blem of global warming. In recent years, scientists and natural resource experts have presented data clearly indicating that man-made pollution is radically changing the Earth's climate. By some estimates, even a few degrees of warming in the next several decades could transform some farming com­ munities into dust bowls, put coastal communities under water and speed the extinction of some wildlife species. "But global warming isn't in­ evitable," noted Hair. "People created the problem and we can change much of the outcome. The National Wildlife Federation picked the issue of global warming for the 'COOL IT!' program because we can still change the course of our folly. And students on America's campuses can lead the wsv." �People $4.00 minimum or 50c Delivery Charge Continued from Page 3 Sock elastic is purely a gripe.

A tour of the library on any given evening will provide valuable insights into the complexity of the problem. Most noticeable is the problem of overcrowding. Every night, the library becomes overpopulated with students. Some come to study or do research. These selfish people often take up a great deal of space with books and notes. This is quite unfair to those students who come to the library to play paper-football, find out where the party is, and especially to those who simply wish to relax and tear the pictures out of their favorite periodicals.

Cybulski followed by saying "The Dream isn't as big as it was. Boone used to have bands like Seeing Fields, the Right Profile and Discord, but those people moved and I think Discord is the only band around that still has a chance. Look at the Othermothers, also. They released two albums and toured Europe for a while, but now they're history." One of the reasons for a new scene in Boone is the opening of new places for bands to play like Sollecito's and What's, who hosts NRW Friday night. "It used to be that bands could only play at The Pub," commented Cybulski, "and still.one band would play there about every two or three weeks. Now you can see two bands there in the same week there and plen­ ty of other bands are playing around town." The increase in bands has also produced a new dimension to the scene here.. .competition.

It's every band's dream to hit the big time, but Boone isn't usually the starting point on the road to stardom. Lots of bands have left the mountains for other parts of the state or country but never made it. Guitarist Chris Cybulski, bassist Ken Jones, vocalist Wendy Sykes, and drummer Ron the others were around how all the bands stuck together. Bands would lend other bands gear and everyone would support each other," Jones said. "Now you have lots of bands talking behind each other's backs along with ripping bands' flyers off the walls promoting their gigs. There's not as much internal sup­ port." A No Reason Why crowd can get a little rowdy. Some of the members of the band got a little surprised about some fights that broke out at one of their gigs. "Our music is not political or angry," Jones said. A comical response followed from Cybulski, "Wait, I'm mad as Hell! Nah, we only write songs about people we hate.. .nobody with long hair in par­ ticular." Sykes told of how the crowd gets into most of the gigs.

Then I found out through sst that he actually saw the record and had heard it and was really bothered by it; especially the title. Which is good because at least if we're gonna have to suffer, I hope he does too. Right now we have to pay a minimum fine and all our records are recalled. So, with all the money we spent recording it, we're in debt a few thou­ sand dollars already, and that's if they don't wanna sue. And if they do, I mean, I don't know. It's weird, you know. We were talking to some peo­ ple from sst and we said, 'Can they have the records pulled?' And they said, 'Michael Jackson's so powerful he could have you killed if he wanted to;' and, I mean, it's true." About G.G. Allin: "I saw him once and there was this movie producer who came down to see if he wanted to do a movie, and G.G. Allin hurled this mic stand at his head. And his head was bleeding; man, it was just bizarre. I saw some ad in some fanzine that said he was gonna kill himself. You know, I've heard other people say that and then not do it." Bill (another guy): "He's gonna kill everybody that goes is what he's gonna do; and then kill himself." About life on the same label as Overkill: "Black Flag played at this place right outside N.Y. and I went to see them. We put our first record out ourselves and I just gave Greg Gihn a tape of it thinking, you know, if you wanna record over it, fine. So, I just gave it to him, not even knowing why really. Just sort of for the hell of it. It was really mystical. And then I got a call about a week later. They checked around and saw we had played like some really wierd places in Iowa, so they knew we meant business." About Home Pride and tee-shirts: "It said, 'New York.' And then it had this hand holding this huge gun, and it said, 'This Ain't Kansas.' " About the Mentors: "We were supposed to play Toron­ to with the Mentors. They couldn't get through the border 'cause they had all this pornographic stuff, you know. And they cancelled at the last minute, so we went there. And in Canada the Mentors fans are like these huge lumberjack-type people who drink tons of beer and they were all drunk by the time we came on. So I blurted, 'OhhittheMentorscaneelledwe'reDasDamen'! And then we played. It was just a nightmare." Dave on unfamiliar titles: 'Let Me Tell You 'Bout White Chicks.' Do you know that title? It's a Dark Brothers film.

But in this critic's opinion, maybe so. psychedelic stuff ("Garden Of Earth­ ly Delights," "Here Comes President •sill Again") on Oranges And Lemons which is reminiscent of XTC's Dukes of Stratospher experiment. But that's not all, there is also XTC style pop ( fhe Mayor Of Simpleton," "King For A Day," "One Of The The Replacements—Don't Tell A Millions"), McCartneyish pop Soul ***1/2 ("Merely A Man," "The Loving"), If you are a fan of the and ^ even fusion jazz ("Miniature Replacements' last album, Pleased To Sun ).

With the exception of album don't fall into any category "Anywhere's Better Than Here" and PRO-AM "I Won't," Don't Tell A Soul sounds nothing like the last album. But don't let this discourage you, this album is very good in its own right. The best songs ("Back To Back," "We'll Inherit The Earth," "They're Blind," "Rock 'N Roll Ghost") are among the best the Replacements have ever done. The rest of the songs are all good. There is not a single bad song on the album. The overall sound is more mellow, and this may bode well for the band commercially. "I'll Be You" is receiv­ ing a lot of airplay and could put the Replacements on the musical map, V CANCER ? SOCIETY* but buy this album anyway—you won't be disappointed. The Pursuit Of Happiness—Love WOKS Junk ***'/2 It's groups like this that convince me that pop music isn't ALL bad. Love Junk is stylish, clever and quite listenable. The best songs—"Hard To Laugh," "I'm An Adult Now," "She's So Young" and "Man's Best Friend" are fine examples of nonbanal pop and make the album a worthwhile investment.

Coach Burke continues to strengthen the teams by improving their net game, serves, volley and baseline play. The team consists of wellrounded players, not one-dimensional players. let the NBA play Vaughn, the other senior, is a great overall asset to the team. Both of these individuals possess talents that will be greatly missed in the upcoming seasons. The Mountaineers battle VMI Fri­ day, Furman on April 24 and ETSU the following day.

With the new ruling about profes sional athletes being able to play in the Olympics, everyone seems to be saying yes this is right, or no this is "The women should pull off a few surprises." —Coach Burke wrong. My feeling is a little different; 1 am in favor of professional athletes getting the chance. But they should not be the only people playing. The main uproar over the whole situation is whether or not the NBA players should be able to compete in the Olympics. Why not? I think that everyone should get the opportunity to represent their country in something. Many of the players in the NBA never got the chance to participate in what many feel is the greatest two weeks for athletes to gather. Some of the greater athletes (especially basketball players) graduate during a non-olympic year Think of the great players who were sophomores this year. Unless they sat out a year from the NBA, losing all of that money, they would have never gotten the chance to play and receive the gold medal. In reference to gold medals, 1 think a lot more time needs to go intOjChoppng the Olympic Coach. John Thompson was a great coach in Georgetown but as a national coach he was horrible. He tried too hard to put in a great offense and great defense instead of letting the great players play their games. I am not a Thompson fan and 1 often will blame him for the USA not winning the gold medal, but I think the US Olympic Committee should take more time to interview for a coach. Many US committee members will just look at the coaching record, but I feel you should look at more than that. A coach should have more than his few wins; he should also be able to just let the team play. Think about it. They are the greatest basketball players in the world, and someone is actually try­ ing to teach them how to play basketball. Just put the players out there and let them play. Now back to what my column was originally about. Moses Molane, one of the greatest pro Players of all time, never got the ' ance to play in the Olympics. Granted, he never played college hall but like many other people, 1 not feel like college is for everyone. Moses did not feel like he needed to go to college, but because emade this decision he was unable 0 rePresent his country until this . ; ®ut now it is almost too little 00 late, because Moses is not getlng any younger.

Well, the atL, e es today want to serve the Coun ' The Lady Mountaineers played their last home match against David­ son on Monday. Their conference record stands at 1-4. The women are tough as they go into tournament play, beginning April 20. "The women should pull off a few sur­ prises," said Coach Burke. Tonja Nations, a number six seed on the team, adds consistency and overall support which better enhance the team's overall productivity. Amy Smith initiates great speed and a good attitude. Smith, a senior on the team, ex­ emplifies tremendous dedication to the sport of tennis. She is a hard worker and the role model for other players. On the other hand, Monica Pierre, a senior leader, will be missed in the upcoming season. But others, like Dave Smith will continue to con­ tribute to the overall strong structure of the team. Craig Hall and Warren Rand, two explosive freshmen, will also add to the character and style of the team. Craig Hall, with his exceptional serve and volley, is accurate in his perfor­ mance. Warren Rand holds the best doubles record on the team. With top seeds, David Aycock and Monica Vaughn, the team will con­ tinue to excel in all phases of tennis. "This year's team gets along very well, I guess thats what makes them play so well together," said Coach Burke. NHL in Charlotte Hey, all you hockey fans out there, read this! Do you want to go see a game along with lots of fellow screaming hockey fans who also go to ASU? Here's your chance. Even though the closest arena housing a playoff game is an all-day drive from Boone/Scoreboard restaurant is only two and a half hours away in Southeast Charlotte and they can get the games on their satellite dish. They've given us a tiny ultimatum... They get the game if we get the fans down there, so c'mon people! Let's show Scoreboard what real hockey fans are like and that we can bring lots of them down from Boone. If all things work out as hoped, a seventh game in one of the four series will be played Saturday, April 29. Therefore, let's all meet at the MiniMall in the Student Union at 4:00 that afternoon and then caravan down to Scoreboard. Anyone interested in what should be a really fun night please drop me a line at The Ap­ palachian or call me at 262-8707. I know there are plenty of hockey fans reading this now, so let's get together on the 29th and have a night of good times. After all, it's hockey. You can't go wrong with that. P.S. We may need extra drivers, so if you could help bring people down, I'd be thankful. °: ' think not UKlno v'" wv/iitvo yviivn By MARK GILTMIER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State women's and men's track teams will be com­ peting in the Mountaineer Classic this weekend in order to get them prepared for the Southern Conference Tournament coming up next week. The ninth annual Mountaineer Classic is taking place at Kidd Brewer Stadium this Saturday. It will start at noon and finish up around 5:00 p.m. The men's and women's teams are looking forward to the competition, but are basically using the meet as a tune-up for the Southern Conference Tournament. The teams participating in the meet will be Va. Tech, Methodist, ETSU, Western Carolina, Berry, and Carson Newman. Even though this is a regularly scheduled meet, score will not be kept, which will give teams a chance to ^vork with different combinations that will hopefully improve each team. Head women's track coach John Weaver said, "We put the girls in several events so they know how it feels to run tired. The team will be running two days straight at the Con­ ference Tournament so this will give them a chance to know how it feels." Weaver feels this meet is also a chance for some of the women to Appalachian Staff Wriler Beth Bonner, the sprint and hurdle coach for the Appalachian State men's track team, has held a world record and several American records. The records she held, though, were not in the events she now coaches but were in long distance events. Coach Bonner was the first woman to run a marathon in under three hours, which was a world record She did this in the New York City Marathon. Coach Bonner also held the American record in the 3,000- and 10,000-meter events. These records, however, are not her greatest accomplishments, she said. Bonner said her biggest goals were to make a USA international cross­ country team. She accomplished this and ran for three years finishing second each year. This cross-country team consisted of the top seven USA runners and competed against runners from all over the world in the World Cham­ pionships. Bonner is a native of West Virginia and went to school in Delaware and Seattle, Washington, got her masters at West Virginia University and is completing her Ph.D., which she began at Auburn University. c°tTiDef)'yrn':,'cs rePresent these r 3t °^er countries.

Lamonda Miller has already qualified in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.41, and in order to qualify for the 200 meter dash, Miller needs to cut her time of 23.93 down to 23.55. The 4 by 100 relay team also needs to cut their time of 45.43 to 45.34 to make the NCAA's. Whitney Ball is also another runner with a chance to qualify this weekend. She must run a 16.39 in the 5000-meter in order to do so. Weaver ended by saying, "The meet this weekend should definitely get us ready for the Southern Con­ ference Tournament, and as healthy as the team is we should be able to capture the Southern Conference Tournament." The men will also be looking to tune up before the finals next week by making a good showing this week. The men's coach A1 Fereshetian made it clear when he said, "The Mountaineer Classic is a little quiz for our team while the big test is next week at the Tournament Champion­ ship." The men's team started tuning up for the S.C. Championship last week when they traveled to Knoxville for the Dogwood Relays. There, two school records were set in the Javelin and the 3000 meter steeplechase. Rol Grant threw a 194-2 in the Javelin while Pete Vandenberg ran a 9.00.5( in the 3000 meter steeplechase. Warren Posey also had a tripL jump of 53.4 which qualified him fo the NCAA's. Posey is the onb member of the men's track team wht has qualified for the NCAA's, so a lo of the team will be using the Moun taineer Classic for their chance tc make it. Fereshetian believes this weekend the team will be most competitive ir the Intermediate hurdles, Pole Vault 1500 meters, and the 200 and 400 a* well. Looking ahead to the Southern Conference Tournament, Fereshetian said, "ASU is the favorite but there is so much good competition that anyone could win it." "If Western, Citadel, ETSU, or VMI can use their talent properly they could win the championship instead of us," he added. Both teams will be using the Moun taineer Classic this weekend to fine tune their teams and to see if they can use their own talent properly. If all goes well and no injuries take place, the Mountaineers should have two more Southern Conference Cham pionships by next weekend.

Appolochlon Photo by Trey Horack TRACK: Beth Bonner, the men's assistant track coach, shows the sprinters the correct way. Bonner was a record holder in the marathon run. She is currently helping the sprinters and hurdlers and is trying to build d dynasty like the ones she had at the colleges she coached prior to ASU. Bonner began coaching at St. Olaf's College in Minnesota, where she coached for six years. She said she began coaching long-distance runners but became interested in sprinters and hurtlers. "I saw that our team could benefit overall by learning better technique and I also decided that our sprinters, hurtlers and jumpers were not going to be ignored on our team," she said. Over the next year she dedicated herself to having a greater understanding of those athletes (sprinters, hurtlers, and jumpers), by learning how they thought and felt and seeing what worked and what didn't. As a result, the St. Olaf team dominated the sprints and hurdles. Coach Bonner then moved on to Auburn, where she began her Ph.D. in strength research related to sprint­ ing. She chose Auburn because Dr. Michael Stone was there and he is a top researcher in the field she was interested in. rather than quantity. "For the most part through the improved performances and m efforts lo help them understand wh they're doing what they're doing, the have promoted confidence in this pre gram," she said. She also says that she really enjoy what she is doing and because sh works with someone who cares a much for the individual athletes a Fereshetian does, it makes her job a the more fun. Coach Bonner says she feels sh should be an educator first and then , coach and she feels coaching an< teaching go hand in hand. "I saw that our team could benefit overall by learning better technique and I also decided that our sprinters, hurtlers and jumpers were not going to be ignored on our team. " Beth Bonner Sprint and hurdle coach ASU men's track team While she was at Auburn, she was an assistant men's track coach where she worked with several elite sprinters that went on and competed at the U.S. Olympic trials this past year. Bonner learned of ASU through Dr. Stone, who came here this past year. Dr. Stone put her in contact with A1 Fereshetian, the men's head track coach, who was in need of a sprint and hurdle coach. Bonner said her philosophy is "new wave" and is based on specificity She also enjoys working with t type of athletes who are here at AS "Because the athletes are extremi intense and motivated, it has be very enjoyable to bring the methc of the elite (Carl Lewis and B Johnson) to them," she said. Coach Bonner says she hopes to what she did at St. Olaf's College h< at ASU by building a "spr dynasty." She says it is very possi with the quality of athletes that here at Appalachian. �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1989 Appletree Apartments BRAND NEW Don Dunlap - Real Estate 412 West King St. • Hardnell Building Individually Fireproofed Fully Furnished Ready for Occupancy August 15, 1989 In Town Edge of Campus • 2 Bedrooms Corner of Water & • 2 Bathrooms Howard Streets • 3 Parking spaces per Unit • Dishwasher • • Washing Machine & Dryer Microwave • Ceiling Fan ' behind Heilig Meyers Disposal .1 AND SIAMESE URBAN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ON thf*=S1 DOORS FIRST. with Autumn Cannibalism (Formerly, Phantom Tenants) Friday, April 21 9 p.m. Pub Why?

Sports security Well, it's that time of the semester. Time for me to babble on endlessly on a variety of subjects which have concerned me during the past few months and which I haven't had time to write about. It's kind of an end-of-the-year tradition that opinion page editors do this kind of "sum-it-all-up" thing, and I can't bear not to conform to the practice. Lots of people, lots of vocal people, have criti­ cized The Appalachian for running articles only on things like the ASU administration and Christians while ignoring issues of national political impor­ tance. There are two reasons for this. First, no one seemed to want to write on anything except these me (sometimes). On the other hand, if I try to tired issues. Had someone turned in an article on change someone's beliefs, I will fail. Let's sum­ John Tower's rejection, it would have been printed. marize some of the common beliefs on this campus. Eric Miller Secondly, the reason why there has been no politics on this page is that George Bush is a very boring president. He gets along with Congress, he gives so many interviews everyone is sick of him, and he's just too darn "kind and gentle," I guess. I per­ sonally can't get mad enough about anything that has happened in Washington for the past few months to write about it. measures needed This past Saturday, the worst soccer accident in British history death and over 200 people were injured during the English FA Cup semifinal match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool. From what officials have told the press, an entry gate to the standing area of ihe stadium was left open, and about 2000 fans attempted to rush ihrough, both with and without tickets. Fans ran into the stands and trushed themselves against the steel fence separating the fans from the players on the field. Police took their time to get to the scene and ambulances had to be called from all over the province. Security ipound the stadium was almost nil, even with the magnitude of the une. Though the game was at a neutral site, both teams could easily supply fans that could incite violence. Liverpool's reputation for fan violence has not yet ceded since the tragedy in Brussels five years ago. The game was only going for six minutes before it was called off because of the riots. Such tragedies like the one in Sheffield are next to impossible in the Med States. I'm not trying to wave a flag and put down other counSjes, but if a super bowl can go off without any altercations (barring life occasional argunfPTTt), then we have" to wonder how tQ suggest some new security measures to further prevent tragedies abroad. One feature of stadiums (except in the United States) is the standing area, usually behind the goals. Assigned seating and ticket checking at every gate would lead to slower lines, but it would also be safer for fans and security. Another thing that is necessary is tigher security that is easier to find. If you've been to any sporting events around Charlotte or ^fbrth Carolina, you probably thought there were more ushers and security guards than fans. The United States will be hosting the World Cup in 1994, and an occurrence like Sheffield is probably weighing heavily on the minds of ihe people in charge. The efforts of the staff at the Los Angeles Olympics are a fine exam­ ple of safety. However, complaints were issued against them because 'heir amount of control gave people the impression they were on a miliary base, but the end result was there were no deaths and the athletic contests were able to go on freely. There's nothing like supporting your favorite team to victory, but tee are extremes that need to be avoided by fans so everyone can cuioy. What sports fans need to do is learn to control themselves, but also there needs to be action taken by security. Both sides must learn to cooperate before more people die To the Editor: On April 11, The Appalachian carried a letter to the editor from Dr. David Considine, Media Studies Coordinator. In his letter, Dr. Con­ sidine mentioned the recent suicide of an Appalachian State student and how this was another example of how suicide "goes hand in hand with alcohol and drug abuse." Dr. Considine also mentioned that he did not want to "turn the personal tragedy of this family into a matter By L1NNEA MARTINSON Appalachian Copy Editor This is a Christian article with a dif­ ferent twist. It doesn't seek to bash anyone. Indeed, it is written with the intention of praising one of the most truly Christian acts I've witnessed in quite some time. This experience took place over Easter Break. 1, along with four of my friends (and the majority of Appalachian State University), went to North Myrtle Beach for four days and four nights of unabashed decadence. The first day I was down there, it was rainy and cold, so my friends and I decided to start vacation at noon, which is when we all poured our first drink.

It makes me happy. of public scrutiny, but that there was a critical issue here." Now I would like to state my opinion about Dr. Considine and his grossly misin­ formed self. I'm sure that the good Doctor had good intentions with his letter, but he was way out of line about his dramatization about my brother kill­ ing himself because he had a drug and alcohol problem. And as far as not making this a matter of public scrutiny, Dr. Considine, you failed miserably. What was it, did you not think your letter was going to be printed? Granted, all was not well with my boy; that is evident by the end result. But there needs to be a distinction between emotional distress and drug and alcohol abuse. For Dr. Considine to assume the lat­ ter without thinking of the former is unprofessional and narrow-minded. Believe it or not, there are evils in the world other than alcohol and drugs, other evils that will bring a person down just as hard. Things Conformity is like a disease ©198655' ONCE AfeAlN... 5.

I had my jacket thrown over my shoulders to warm the chill provided by the cold front and the sea breeze. I merrily strolled down the sidewalk with my friends, stopping occasional­ ly to talk with people I knew and with a few I didn't know. As we made our way down the road, a guy who, according to the T-shirt he wore, was affiliated with one of the larger col­ lege Christian organizations stopped us, handed one of my friends a con­ dom, smiled, and walked away. Since I was the only one with a jacket, she gave it to me to put in my pocket Ithanks, Janel. It stayed in my pocket and I com­ pletely forgot about the incident until acknowledging that it does exist and that, in this age of AID'S, practical a couple of weeks ago, when the April snow forced me to drag my coat out and I pulled the condom out of my pocket in front of my visiting father (try explaining that one). In my thensober state, I reflected upon the inci­ dent and realized it held much more significance than I had initially placed upon it. I'm not sure whether the condomdispensing was the idea of this one guy or if it was being done by the entire organization (which I have not named because a) I can't remember which one it is and b) if this wasn't their idea I don't want to be barraged by scathing letters), but wherever the idea originated, it was one of the most Christian things I believe I've ever seen. Whether they agree with premarital sex or not, they were like depression and the stress. These things need consideration too. This is what brought my friend down, and that should be the topic of any story that includes his experience, not another drug and alcohol fiasco. Let it be known that many took of­ fense at Dr. Considine's portrayal of our friend and brother. Next time, Dr. Considine should check his facts before he speaks his mind.

Though I don't claim divine knowledge, I feel God was probably quite pleased with the act of this young man. He did more good (fot quite a few people at that beach on that weekend, I'm sure) by dispensing condoms with a smile than he would have done by preaching hellfire and brimstone to the same people until he was blue in the face. If this was sponsored by whichever organization it was, I condone them for their forward thinking and for their truly Christian ideals. Other similar organizations would do well to imitate their example. If this was the idea of this one person, they would still do well to. Christians and condoms can go together By MIKE SOLLECITO, JR. Appalachian Staff Writer The plague of depression which has swept this nation is the result of a social rut. I know many individuals who are presently employed by this very institution who are suffering from this plague. A friend of mine who is presently employed by the university asked me if it was her or her fellow workers who are causing her to experience a serious case of depres­ sion. I believe it is a combination of the two. All the individuals who have been employed by the university for any great length of time feel enslaved. They have been captured by the social web of conformity. They made the mistake of accepting what the system offered them without question. These individuals dream of advancing in a system which allows very little, if any, advancement. If one does receive ad­ vancement, it is usually lateral with one getting twice the responsibilities and little pay increase. This system is one of hypocrisy. In our classes, we hear of proactive management and the importance of motivating employees through positive reinforcement, but this university does not practice any . of these advanced principles of manage­ ment. The administrators use scare tactics to keep the staff members in line. If the employees don't like the system, they can pack their bags. I suggest that some of the ad­ ministrators read some of the literature on proactive management. The number one fallacy in our society is that employees desire more pay. This item is one of the last things that employees are concerned with. One of the number one priorities of the labor force is simply to be recognized and to be appreciated on a daily basis, not just once a year when awards are handed out. The average person simply wants to feel needed. Unfortunately, once someone has worked under any regimented system, it soon becomes apparent that they are nothing more than a number. Due to most people's financial commitments, they usually have no choice but to accept their number and trudge through life as a thing. It's no wonder our society as a whole is on the decline. We are presently suffering from a plague of conformity. This plague breeds boredom, laziness, depression and eventually death. I could fill the pages of this paper with names of the vic­ tims I know who are presently suffer­ ing from this plague. We think AIDS is one of the worst diseases that mankind has ever been threatened by. I say conformity is the worst disease that ever was and ever will be. When individuals sell themselves to society, they have, in essence, become entrapped by the system's web. Who says you have to graduate from high school or college and chain yourself to a clock for forty years? If you have not decided what you want to do by the time you graduate, you're considered a failure in the eyes of society. You're supposed to know exactly what you want to do, even though the educa­ tional system has given you very little if any practical experience. I'm twenty-nine years old and I still don't know what I want to do. I do know one thing for certain, I surely don't want to go into the world and become a clone. I see more clones in our socie­ ty; they just do what they have to do, because that's what society expects. To all of you out there who are go­ ing to graduate and go straight into the work force, I say, "Happy Forty Years!" To those of you who still don't know what you want to do, I say, "Travel the World!" Now that you have finally risen above all the bureaucratic babble of our social system, go out and educate yourselves. Before you become en­ trapped by society's web of conformi­ ty, I highly urge you to open your minds to this world's vast horizons. There is no greater teacher than the world. For those of you who are presently enslaved by the system, I urge you to read the writings of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania. He was ex­ pelled from Oxford for being a non­ conformist. I recommend Fruits of Solitude. He wrote this while im­ prisoned in the Tower of London. One last note: Never allow yourself to be limited by the social expecta­ tions of society. If you can't be free in mind and body, set your spirit above the two, and you shall be etemallv free. �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y, APRIL 20, 1989 APARTMENTS ' MONDAY TUESD > Dinner Theatre Performing Art Mark Twain's The Diary of Adam & Eve Presents Herbie Mann 8 p.m. Farthing Auditorium^^^ West Side • Cafeteria • Best deal on summer sublets • Move into clean apartments. • Many have utilities paid. $4.00/students t^k 88.00/non-students Line Closes at 6:30 Produced by: .... ..

Chapter of Amnesty International started By REBECCA HIGBEE Appalachian Staff Writer Approximately 60 people attended the first meeting of the ASU chapter of Amnes­ ty International on March 14. "We would have been happy if one per­ son showed up," ASU Chapter President Jeffrey Wulfhorst said. "We were surprised by the overwhelming response." Wulfhorst and a few other students were inspired after taking the honors course "Gender, Race, and Culture." The course was taught by History Professor Dr. Jim Winders and Anthropology Professor Dr. Pat Beaver. Students read several books and held class discussions that raised con­ troversial issues present in contemporary society. Wulfhorst said the class helped him understand what injustice is happening in the world. "But then we had a conflict within the group itself," he said, "because we didn't know what there was to do about it. We became frustrated as a class and as a group. It was great to sit around and talk about ideas, but unless you were going to do something, it didn't matter a hill of beans." With the help of faculty advisers, the group started to get organized after Christmas break. The group's immediate goal is to learn more about Amnesty Inter­ national and human rights.

Current WASU Operations Manager and The Appalachian Assistant Sports Editor Roger Watson has been chosen to serve as WASU Station Manager next year. "I'm glad I have the opportunity to serve as Station Manager. I've been wanting to do this for some time now," Watson, a rising junior said. "It was the next logical step from Operation Manger," he added. Watson will be assuming the job from current Station Manager Keith Pittman. Watson does not plan to change WASU's format from the current AOR (album oriented rock)/Classic Rock format used by the station during the past year. Watson's plans for the station include im­ proving public relations between the station and the community and looking into getting de-icers on the transmitter antennas cur­ rently located on the roof of Chapell Wilson Hall. "De-icers would keep the snow and ice off of the antenna and keep us on the air during winter," Watson said. "This would help the off-campus students who depend on WASU for the weather and campus in­ formation," he added. According to Watson, listeners should not be able to tell any difference between his and Pittman's administration. Watson says his toughest challenge in the coming weeks will be, "to pick a qualified •staff by the end of the month " with enough. By starting a chapter of A.I. at ASU, we hope to increase consciousness of human rights problems, and maybe do a little to help solve them," she said. Wulfhorst added that ASU is an ideal place to have a chapter of Amnesty. "There is already a lot of awareness here about the problems and controversies that occur around the world," he said. "We cannot expect all 12,000 students to be involved, but human rights is an issue that everyone ought to be concerned about and be aware of because it affects everyone." In the next few weeks, A.I. plans to have information tables in the Student Union. April 13 was the first day A.I. had a contact table. Freshman Craig Triplett said it was a success. "We've had a lot of interest. Peo­ ple signed petitions and picked up informa­ tion. I hope some decide to become more active with the club," he said. Junior Spanish major Darryl Sink said most people were understanding. "There have been a few people who have said they disagreed with Amnesty's policies and wanted to talk about it," he added. Next semester, the chapter hopes for a Human Rights Day, possibly coupled with a Battle of the Bands competition. Meetings for ASU's chapter of Amnesty International are Tuesdays at 7 p.m., in room 210 of Chapell Wilson Hall. Wulfhorst invites everyone to attend. "I would encourage anybody who has any pro­ blems with or any questions about A.I. to come to one of the meetings and see what it's about. Human rights is an issue that touches everybody as a human being, they want it to or not," he said. Agencies to visit and placed on a list if he meet1; governmen­ tal standards. The applicant can then be referred to agencies which have vacancies. Students are encouraged to come to the Af­ fairs Day so they can begin the employment process early. "We do not hire special agents right out of college," Charles Richards of the FBI said. "But we want to come and get our message across that this is a vital career and for students not to forget us as a potential employer," he added. , Among the local agencies attending Governmental Affairs Day are the Boone Police Department, town of Boone, Depart­ ment of Planning and Inspections and the town of Blowing Rock. "Along with zoning forms, we use and project manuals, what I can offer most is in the form of question and answer sessions," Boone Department Planning and Inspections Jerry Haire said. Some of the state and federal agencies attending are city of Asheville, city of Winston-Salem, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Internal Revenue Service, National Park Service, Peace Corps, Social Security Administration, Customs and U.S. Secret Service. The Affairs Day is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Our House of the Student Union. �1 THE APPALACHIAN, TUF.SDA Y, APRIL 18, 1989 Davis named College of Business Dean By SPEED HALLMAN ASU News Bureau Grant Miller Davis of Fayetteville, Ark., has been named dean of the Walker College of Business effective July 1. The UNC Board of Governors approved the appointment Thursday in Pinehurst. Davis replaces J. Paul Combs, who announced his resigna­ tion in October. Combs will teach in the economics department. Davis, 51, is a distinguished pro­ fessor of business administration and holder of the Oren Harris chair of transportation at the University of Arkansas. He is also director of the university's Center of Transportation Research. Davis received a doctor of philosophy in business administration from the University of Alabama in 1969, where his major field of study was transportation and public utility economics. He received a master's from Alabama in 1967 and a bachelor's degree in business ad­ ministration from Georgia State For all your hair car Come to University in 1965. He has also held faculty appointments at Auburn University and Arizona State Univer­ sity. Davis was Delta Nu Alpha's Na­ tional Transportation Man of the Year in 1971, and he received the Distinguished Faculty Award from the University of Arkansas in 1975. CUT-N-CC ED LOWRANCZL* Stylist The annual all-student art expo held By REBECCA HIGBEE Appalachian Staff Writer All three floors of Wey Hall were filled with everything from paintings to sculptures in the annual all-student art expo April 7. Works on view were done by students in the art program at ASU. Other entries included: drawings, weavings, photographs, jewelry, por­ traits and other three-dimensional art. The works were shown for one day only, and were judged and rated by the art faculty. The pieces that receive the highest ratings are chosen for the Art Expo Invitational, which will be held in the Catherine Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium. The reception will be this Friday at 7:30 p.m., with an awards ceremony immediately following. The show will run through May 19. Senior Graphic Design Major Tom Morgan thinks the expo is an excellent opportunity for students to exhibit their work. "It's good for everybody, because it lets our expressions show," he said. "If we didn't have an event like this, we wouldn't be able to see a lot of the work that's done outside of class." Last year, Morgan was one of the two sophomore award winners. Senior John Golden, was the other winner. He hopes that his painting, "Return of the Native," is chosen for the invitational. "The painting is a sort of post-war feeling," Golden said. "It should be almost called 'Return to the Native.' " Sophomore Elaine Minton, a com­ mercial design major from Wilkesboro, was disappointed in the amount of time the work showed. "I think_it would be nice if we could show it all week," she said. "Of course, that's not possible, because of security problems. People could van­ dalize the work " Senior Grapuu. Design Major Jenny Castles agrees. "I wish more than art students would come by and see the work." Senior Karen Jenkins said thanks is owed to Art Expo Chairperson Leek Willett. "Leek Willett started Expo to give people an experience to be able to show their work," she said. W'Metr believes that this year was one of the strongest Expos ever. "The quality of work was just outstanding, really nice pieces from threedimensional and two-dimensional qualities," he said. "I'm looking for­ ward to Expo next year." Art Instructor Joan Durden believes that Expo is a good vehicle for students and faculty to get to know one another. "The Expo is a good thing, as any exhibition is," he said. "Art is communication, that's why we make art. And if it's not seen, then it's not communicating." ATTENTION MALE ASU STUDENTS Durden adds that Expo is an incen­ tive for students to do better _work.. "They know they're going to be com­ peting with their peers. It gives cash awards and prestige to the students," she said. Three senior awards of $250, two junior awards of $200, two sophomore awards of $150, and one freshman award of $100 will be presented to the artists who received the highest ratings in their classifica­ tions. There is also one floating award of $100 to the highest vote total given to a student not presented a major award. Seniors majoring in Art are required to participate in Expo to complete their major.

In the competition, which was held April 8 at Sea World in San Antonio, Texas, ASU competed against eight Division 1-A schools and three Divi­ sion 2 schools. Finishing behind ASU were, respec­ tively, the University of AlabamaBirmingham, UNC-Wilmington, and Morehead State. The cheerleaders performed a twominute, 20-second routine which con­ sisted of a cheer, a sideline and a dance. "They were also judged on technical skills, tumbling, stunts, and crowd appeal," Advisor Debbie Reese said. "Twenty-five percent of their final score was received on a video which showed our cheerleaders with the crowd," she added. ASU's cheerleading squad has con­ sistently been excellent. This is their fourth national competition. They last won the national championship in 1986. The varsity squad is a young one. Captain Danny Black and CoCaptain Ransome Price are the only seniors. The varsity squad has 14 members. many as five people not returning," she added. "All the hard work paid off. We went through a lot. That's all we did since Christmas," cheerleader Angela Gore said. "I'm very pleased everyone did as well as they did. I'm very happy we won," she added. "(Winning nationals) was the highest high I've ever experienced," cheerleader Keith Barton said. "We (Reese and Advisor Joanne Laney) are very proud of the squad. We feel like they did an excellent job during the year of supporting our athletic team," Reese said. They represented the University well in national championships," she added. "I'm delighted for them. I think a lot of times, people overlook how hard these students work. They prac­ tice just as hard as our athletic teams do. I think they deserve the recogni­ tion," Athletic Director Jim Garner said. "I'm excited for them and for us. It s great for them as individuals and as a group. It's also great for the university as a whole," he added. Reese encourages students who are interested in being members of next year's varsity squad to participate in tryouts. A meeting will be held April 19 at 5 p.m. in the gymnastics room. A clinic to demonstrate the routines "I'm delighted for them. I think a lot of times, people overlook how hard these students work. They practice just as hard as our athletic teams do.

Oui the first step x black unit at Giving needles to heroin addicts is a true paradox By TODD JOHNSON Appalachian Columnist The issue of drugs is a scary topic; the issue of AIDS is just as scary, but when drugs and AIDS mix, the result becomes a topic that many people evidently do not comprehend. The drug problem in America to­ day is leading to major criminal ac­ tivities of near terrorist proportions, causing a societal collapse among our young people, and destroying many people's lives directly. In addition to all of this, the use of intravenous drugs has helped to spread the AIDS virus to epidemic proportions. The logic is simple. Aids can be contracted through the blood, and a needle enters into the bloodstream. Speed shooters use needles frequently and dope users love to share (sort of a communal lifestyle), so if they share the drugs why not share the needle as well. The end result is some poor drug user getting AIDS from one of his buddies who already has the disease. And the more people you have shar­ ing the syringe, the better your odds of catching the bug. The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that these drugs are illegal, which means they aren't supposed to be using it anyway. That doesn't seem to stop some dope addicts, neither does the threat of hepatitis and other diseases which could be considered minor in comparison to a disease like AIDS. I assumed the first logical reaction of people to the risk of AIDS among drug users would be to increase the drive against drug use, at least towards the use of intravenous drugs. It seemed like the safest, most logical alternative. But as always, I forgot the fact that people in society never choose the most logical solution. In fact, they usually make the most irrational choices, supposedly for the sake of humanitarianism. And sure enough, the cavalry of compassion rides again. Now states are beginning to offer free hypodermic needles for drug addicts so they can continue their habit and lessen the risk of catching the big bad AIDS. My sentiments over this apparent compassion by our governing bodies can be summed up in one word: stupid! It's not jusi because I am very vocally anti-drug, nor is it because I m trying to legislate morality. I just see several problems with this idea. First of all, there's the fact that the goverments are indirectly condoning the behavior of drug addicts.

As a Once again, The Appalachian has given Eric Miller the opportunity to beat his drum of glorious liberalism. In his latest column, "Exxon must pay for Stupidity," Mr. Miller showed the frivolousness of his and every self-appointed environmental zealots' idealogy. Everytime an environmental accident occurs, the "friends of nature" hop on the socialist bandwagon and proceed to bash capitalism. The only answer they give to solve the problem is more government control over business. Meanwhile, they reject every other sensible type of power source except "flower-power." An occasional oil-covered beach is the price our society must pay for continually using an ancient type of fuel. The liberal meat-heads, like Eric Miller, have brainwashed the American public into totally reject- ing the research and development of nuclear power. Consequently, they are content to preach environmentalism after every tragedy. Modernday liberalism has failed again. It has not invested anything for future needs but has the nerve to protest the things that liberals themselves will not allow to change. Liberalism is the ideology of suicide through self-indulence. Under liberal philosophy, it is fine to spend billions of dollars creating a welfare state for today, but is is sinful to invest in a clean, safe and efficient power source for tomorrow. Eric Miller is a typical, knee-jerk, liberal windbag who is doing nothing but wasting space on the commentary page. 1 wish he would give some ideas or advice for solving problems rather than continually reminding the readers of them.

Ping cm ^,S.C, ce to: study the possibility of repealing [he current repeat policy and to vieW academic retention policies. ' Faculty Senate Chairperson Dr. Sally Atkins announced the forma,on of the committee at Tuesday's Faculty Senate meeting. According to Atkins, the senate had made a recom­ mendation in March to Durham that academic retention be reviewed. According to Senator and Academic Policy and Procedure Committee member Dr. Mark Estepp, the AP&P committee passed a motion at its March meeting re­ questing that the repeat policy be repealed. Both recommendations were forwarded to Durham who decided to establish a committee to study the current policies. "Dr. Durham's decision not to take immediate action on this is a wise one," Estepp said. "Obviously, the students will have an interest in this jlono with SGA and the Faculty Senate." Durham said that the recommenda­ tion for the formation of the Ad hoc committee had essentially come from the Faculty Senate. "We had three separate recommen­ dations from three different places," he said. The Academic Policy and Procedures Committee recommended repealing the repeat policy. There was some discussion at the Dean's Council about the number of terms a student can be placed on academic probation," Durham said. "Also, it came up from SGA (Stu­ dent Government Association) to Faculty Senate that the minimum GPA requirements be raised," he said. "All of the sudden we have these three concerns, any one of which is going to effect retention rates and any one of the three would have a signifi­ cant effect on our retention policy." Ad Hoc committee chairman Dr. Clinton Parker, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the committee will study the effects repealing the repeat policy would have on ASU students. "1 think it ((repealing the policy) would probably lhave a very adverse and severe effect >on the students (affected by the policy)," Parker said. "One thing the committee will look into is the number of students we will lose if the policy is repealed," he add­ ed. AP&P Chairman Dr. George Miles, professor of chemistry, said the repeat rule needs to be repealed. "The reason 1 am against the (current) repeat rule... is that it leads students to say 'I'll quit now, take an 'F,' and repeat the course next semester,' " Miles said. "1 think (the repeat policy) leads to low quality educa­ tional procedures. I've seen students who habitually repeat courses which leads them to have an inflated GPA." According to Parker, the commit­ tee will also study the minimum re­ quirements necessary for a student to maintain good academic standing and the number of passes a student can have for academic probation. "We will be looking in general at retention policies," Parker said. Under the current academic proba­ tion policy, freshmen and sophomores can "pass off" academic probation twice. Juniors and seniors can "pass off" academic probation once. After using these "passes," students who are placed on probation again are expelled from the university. According to Parker, the commit­ tee is made up of 10 voting members, including two students, SGA Treasurer Joe Panzer and SGA President-Elect Brad Edwards. "We try to include students on practically all university committees," Durham said. "We need students voices on our committees. We like to have their input and their ideas." Also serving on the committe as non-voting members are General Col­ lege Assistant Dean David Smith and Registrar Brooks Meleod. "Both men will function as recource, information and advisement aids," Parker said. Parker said that though the com­ mittee has not yet met, he hopes to hold a meeting next week. In other business, Senator Virginia Van Der Bogert said that faculty members who work in Chapell Wilson Hall had expressed concern about the amount of asbestos in the building and whether or not it should be removed. According to Van Der Bogert, state law does not require asbestos to be removed as long as it is not being disturbed. The question has been raised by faculty members about the removal since University Theatre, which is located in Chapell Wilson, is being renovated. Van Der Bogert said that asbestos was removed in Varsity Gymnasium and the university steam plant several years ago. According to Durham, tests will be conducted on the asbestos and also on random levels in the building. REPEAT POLICY UNDER QUESTION: ASU Faculty Senate announced the formation of an ad hoc committee to study the possibility of repealing the repeat policy at Monday's Faculty Senate meeting. ASU Provost Dr. Harvey Durham ap­ pointed the committee. Fee deferments will be restricted under new policies By JON JIMISON to receive these delays, according to Director of Financial* Aid Steve Major changes in the university fee Gabriel. I deferment policies might eliminate "The institution of policy is that home students who were once eligible these (fees) are due and payable at the Appalachian News Edilor beginning of the semester," Gabriel said. "We've been bending that a lit­ tle and giving deferments." Gabriel said that giving deferments in the past has given the university some bad accounts and led to ac­ counts payable of over $600,000. Under the new policy, only under certain circumstances will deferments be granted. Students employed by the university as work-study or student temporary prior to the request may be permitted a deferment. However, the university may withhold any or all of the students wages until the fees have been paid. Other students who may be eligible for deferments include: those who receive financial aid, those who must submit proof of registration to a trust fund agent, those eligible for veteran's benefits (such as the G.I. Bill) and international students. Students unsure whether they qualify for a deferment should con­ tact the Financial Aid Office. "We know there are a lot of people out there expecting this (deferments)," Gabriel said, "and we're not going to be able to do it." "What we want to do is get the message out that these avenues for many of them (students) will not be open next year," Gabriel said. According to Gabriel, these policies will go into effect for deferments this • summer. Gabriel said most students were very responsible about paying their deferred fees. "When you give as mpny deferments as we do (700 or 800 a semester).. .a few students hurt these others because the university cannot afford to keep those going," he said. In a prior interview, Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette said the university was in the process of developing tighter policies and procedures for collecting delin­ quent accounts. "Because the (state) auditors last year wrote us up for let­ ting our accounts receivable get out of hand," he said. "We operate on receipts, so we have to get that money in," Gabriel said. Gabriel is concerned that some students might be upset at the Finan­ cial Aid Office when future deferment requests are denied. "We have been (flexible in the past)," he said. "We're student-oriented and we're part of Student Development." Gabriel said the new policies will probably affect those students who are in the process of becoming finan­ cially independent to qualify for tinancial aid. This is because declar­ ing independence for financial aid purposes generally takes two yeais.

"The university wanted us to believe that it couldn't be saved," Students to Save the House member Becky Higbee said. So that the house could be moved to State Farm field, its roof was removed. It has been replaced with a sheet of plywood covered by plastic to protect it from harsh weather condi­ tions. "We did what we could do to stabilize it. It's on a foundation and weatherized," Chancellor John Thomas said. "But there's nothing you can do to protect an old house." According to the ASU News Bureau Director Speed Hallman, the Dougherty house is now state proper­ ty; therefore, the university could declare it surplus so an interested buyer could purchase it from the state at a lower cost. "If a community group wanted to buy the house and preserve it, we could work with them to get the price down," Hallman said. According to Chancellor Thomas, the university would like to see the building sold, moved to a new loca­ tion and restored, but there have been no offers. "We're hoping an ap­ propriate group will make us an offer. If anyone is interested, we're ready, willing and able to tall^ about it," Thomas said. The Dougherty house will remain at its State Farm field location until it is sold. "I'm willing to speculate that the house will probably stay for sale until it's used for plywood," Higbee said. Every college student has experienced tremendous stress at one time or another, but what does one do when the pressure becomes overbear­ ing? Suicide or contemplations of such action is often a "way out" for many students. "Suicide is a way of com­ municating hurt or anger," Director of the Counseling Center, Don Sanz said. According to national averages, one person between the ages of 14 and 25 commits suicide every 90 minutes. 'Every day in our country 1000 attempts are made, which averages to one-million attempts per year. Six thousand of these annual attempts are successful. Ninety percent of these suicide attempts are made by females; however, eighty percent of those who are successful are male. "It's much more acceptable for women to be hurting than men in our society, and women are much more likely to communicate feelings," Sanz said. "Men stereotypically conceal pain until it gets so bad they're really in trouble," he added. According to Sanz, it is impossible to determine the number of ASU students who commit suicide because many student deaths occur out of town, in which case death causes are ambiguous, r "It's pretty close to impossible to determine the amount of suicides, but I assume we're close to the national average," Sanz said. People have many false concep­ tions about suicide and how to deal with threats. "One of the myths about suicide is that people who talk about it aren't going to do it," Sanz said, "We want to believe them and look for warning signs." How can we tell when our friends are in pain and in need of help? Suicide threats, extreme depression, sudden personality changes, preoc­ cupation with death and abuse of alcohol or drugs are common warning signs. "I think there is a relationship between alcohol and suicide, but alcohol doesn't cause suicide. It sometimes lowers reasoning ability to work things through," Sanz said. "Alcohol is more likely to be a symptom of depression," he added. Music by groups such as Pink Floyd is often viewed as a cause of suicide. "I think there are some people who are extremely affected by music, but music doesn't cause people to be depressed," Sanz said, "Depressed people will seek out music which cap­ tures that feeling." Holidays can also cause stress and depression which could result in suicides or suicide attempts. "Anytime when your feelings can be intensified can be very stressful," Sanz said. "Suicide is more prevalent around times of great stress such as finals, graduation, holidays, visiting homes, or any other decision points in life which are stressful," he added. What can we do to combat this second leading cause of death among our youth? Try to be sensitive, caring and concerned while openly discuss­ ing the problem. Encourage the per­ son to seek professional help. "If the crisis passes, you should still worry. There is still that potential there, so you want to encourage them to get help," Sanz said. When suicide attempts are made on campus, special programs are given to the affected individuals through the Counseling Center. "When there are suicide attempts in residence halls, we have a crisis interaction team who talk to the peo­ ple on the hall," Sanz said. "We'll work with victims, sur­ vivors, friends and families and go to classrooms or fraternities and sororities," he added. Each counselor in the ASU Counseling Center is equipped with necessary knowledge to deal with these types of situations. "The Counseling Center is certain­ ly involved with two parts of it—deal­ ing with the crisis and the aftermath of the crisis," Sanz stated, "We're available to talk with student groups and organizations so we can do as much as we can." The most important thing to remember when dealing with an extremely depressed, potentially suicidal friend is encouraging them to seek some sort of help. "Insist that they get some help, and if you sense immediate danger, never leave them alone," Sanz warned. It is important never to shock or challenge the person by saying, "Go ahead and do it." Individuals who need help can find it in areas other than the Counseling Center. Church groups, pastors, men­ tal health clinics or private counseling organizations are other available options. "There is a lot of help around, but you need to encourage people to seek it," Sanz said. "The nice thing about it is that peo­ ple can be helped," he added. Anyone with questions or concerns about a friend or relative suffering from depression should contact the ASU Counseling Center at 262-3180, We're quite concerned with preventing suicides," Sanz said. �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y, APRIL 13, 1989 Clubscan CLUBSCAN RULES Clubscan is a new feature of The Appalachian that will appear in each Thursday edition.

Delegates brought back new ideas and information for the betterment of ASU's Greek Svstem. Advanced Foods To Present Spring Fling '89 i j Banks consider trade school students as "high risk," because they are generally less well off than students at four-year campuses, and because they graduate into lowerpaying jobs, she explained. Community and junior college students—a much bigger group—will still be able to get loans, observers said, but they may have to dig harder to find banks who will make loans to two-year campus collegians. The impact, however, on students will be minimal, American Associa­ tion of Community and Junior Col­ leges in Washington, D.C., member Jim Palmer said. Only 9 percent of the nation's com­ munity college students take out Staf­ ford Loans, Palmer said, because "most are part-time, and tuition is comparatively low." "At least now, the good four-year universities have plenty of sources for student loans," Fritz Elmendorf of the Virginia-based Consumers Bank­ ing Association (CBA) said. "On the edge is where it's being felt." •y sr ww f Many. smaller, .banks, Elmendorf reported, have also stopped making student loans. The reason is they have become less profitable for banks, and now, thanks to the Education Department deci­ sion, riskier. The Education Department, which oversees most federal college pro­ grams, has been waging a vigorous campaign to decrease the default rate on Stafford Loans—formerly called Guaranteed Student Loans—for years, as the amount of money in default rose from $530 million in 1983 to $1.7 billion in 1989. Money spent to reimburse banks for uncollected loans, of course, is will be held on Thursday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Varsity Gym.

Student loans tougher to get (CPS)—A California business' mishandling of $650 million in stu­ dent loans has set off a chain of events that convinced some of the na­ tion's biggest banks to announce in late March that they would stop mak­ ing student loans. Financial aid experts say the moves mean students may have to work harder to get Stafford Loans for next school year, and that "high risk" students—those who go to certain schools—may not be able to get them at all in the future. "It's moving in that direction," Stephmi(e Massav^of Florida's Departjwnj^of Education student,aid office said. "More and more lenders are eliminating vocational, pro­ prietary and community schools from their list." The Gold tyf* money that otherwise would be loan­ ed out to students to pay for college. Banks have been announcing tougher student loan policies ever since, culminating in the Citibank and ' Chase Manhattan retreats in midMarch. "We are confident that sources of loans will continue," Mary Crawford of the Department of Education said. Elmendorf sees it differently. "It likely will be tougher (for students to qualify for loans.) It's already tougher in a lot of categories." Iowa Western students ultimately haven't had- trouble getting loans, Pixley reported, although lenders are '>,Aot mote cautious." President of the National Associa­ tion of Student Financial Aid Ad­ ministrators in Washington, D.C., Dallas Martin said the recent events won't have much impact, at least in­ itially, on the availability of student loans nationwide. However, it is "one more nailin the coffin," pointing out the weakness in the system.

American Express launches campaign ity I Build# jCPSj—American Express, known is a company for business executives and yuppies, unveiled a plan in midMarch to attract college undergrads. With incentives like inexpensive airline fares and magazine subscriplions, the financial services firm says it wi'l start trying to tempt students at Ihe 1,000 biggest campuses in the country to carry its credit card. The move is emblematic of a larger ' (rend, various consumer advocates say, of students being able to get credit more easily during the last three (ears. And many of the consumer advocates do not think the credit card companies' new invasion of American campuses is a very good idea. "(Students) are acquiring credit at a lime when they are poorly suited to use it wisely," said Mike Heffer of Consumer Action, a San Francisco lobbying group, when told of the new American Express effort. "Credit cards got me into financial trouble," University of Houston senior Scott Fox said.

Iowa State University Financial Counselor Ann Swift said she has seen an increase in the number of students suffering from high credit card debts in recent years, and that some contemplate bankruptcy. "Only 40 percent of credit card holders nationally pay their monthly bill. The other 60 percent have an average monthly balance of $1,600," Swift said. Credit card abuse has become so common that the University of Southern Maine holds a session about students and credit cards at its freshmen orientation. Indiana University hosts budget planning workshops in its dorms. University of Texas students get a written warning about incurring credit card debts when they pick up their financial aid applications.

The five of us exchanged looks of disbelief. We all wanted to laugh or cry or just leave. The old man was looking at us with X-ray eyes. "I LIKE YA'LL'S SWIM SUITS." He told us his life story. He was from Tennessee and his well had broken. So now he was coming out here to bathe and do his laundry. Our stomachs turned. We were swimming in the same water this man urinated in! After a while, the old mountain man got up and started to climb up a rock. He looked back and grinned at us. "JUS' 'MEMBER," he said, "TO ALWAYS KEEP THE TWINKLE IN YOUR EYE, THE SMILE ON YOUR LIPS AND THE DIMPLE IN YOUR CHEEK!" Then he disap­ peared. We sighed a sigh of relief and laughed. "Boy," we said, "aren't we glad that's over!" "He gave me the creeps!" "That was unreal!" "That was right out of a movie!" Only, the movie wasn't over yet! It took only about five minutes for us to get over that, and get back to what we were doing before. Jenny was telling us the latest theater gossip, when, after looking up, she stopped. Her mouth dropped and her eyes got as wide as dinner plates. She pointed to whatever it was that shocked her. We had no idea what fate had in store for us that day at Watauga Falls.

After the success of Sparky Woods, people were prob­ ably expecting the school to hire a household name as the next coach, and let's face it, Jerry Moore is no I household name in these parts. The first thing many people [ noticed about the hiring was that Moore's career record was a lessthan-impressive 27-38-2, and that he was a long-time friend of ASU Athletic Director Jim Garner. And for these reasons, and more, there has been a lot of skepticism about the hiring. First of all, you don't judge someone who's been in the coaching business since 1961 strictly on their win-loss record at two schools. Things like difficulty of schedule and the quality of the team being coached have to be considered. If you look at Moore's resume, it's obvious this guy has some coaching ability. Moore coached seven seasons at Southern Methodist University, during their more prom­ inent years, and another six years at Nebraska. One doesn't stay around football this long, at big-time foot­ ball schools, and not know what he's doing. But wait a minute. I'm not jump­ ing on the Jerry Moore bandwagon yet. 1 still don't know if he was the right man for the job at this time or if he was the most qualified. But one thing I do know is that I didn't like the way the hiring process was handled at all. For starters, "one-man search committees" stink. They simply give one man too much control and, by doing so, leave a lot of room for error. Two heads are better than one, even if they disagree. Jim Garner, who, I'm sure, consulted with others about the decision, basically hand-picked Moore. Was Moore the right man for the job? Who knows, but there can cer tainly be a case made for selecting someone else. The fact that no other candidates for the job were revealed disturbs me. The current ASU team was, I thought, a team on the verge of blossoming. A team capable of win­ ning a national championship for the next couple of years with some stability and polishing. Instead, many people believe the team now faces drastic transition. It's my belief that Garner should have offered the job to one of Wood's assistants, a guy like David Bibee or Rick Whitt. Although neither of these guys may have been the most qualified for the job, they both offered something just as important.. .stability. The bad tim­ ing of the whole thing is another reason a choice like this would have been the right move. Bibee and Whitt worked under a "proven" head coach that developed a winning program. Everybody knew the system was working, so why change it? Garner should have hired one of these two assistants instead of trying to find I another "diamond in the rough" ! and further his name as Athletic I Director. Soon after the hiring and into spring practice, rumors were ram­ pant about dissention among the team, players transferring and even quitting. Like most rumors, some were true and some weren't. The Top Three rumors of 1989: 3) Sparky Woods is having second thoughts. Club Soccer goes to State Tournament By DOUG DEWAR Appalachian Staff Writer Last Sunday, the ASU Men's Club Soccer team defeated Soccer Haus 4-1 at Kidd Brewer Stadium to capture the bid to the 1989 North Carolina State Cup. The Mountaineers participated in a round robin with Pedro's Porch and half, but neither team was able to score, leaving the score tied at 1-1. ASU came out very strong in the second half and had several scoring opportunities. The Mountaineers finally broke the tie when Eric Terrill scored to make the game 2-1. ASU then began to dominate the game and was able to increase their lead again This was the club's 4th game of the season, giving them a record of 3-0-1. The team has 2 more games against Rabun Gap and Morganton and then they will play in a league tournament. Soccer Haus, the only other state affiliated teams in the Western part of the state, to see who would represent Western North Carolina in the State Cup this year. The Apps came from behind to beat Pedro's Porch 3-1 three weeks ago. By defeating Soccer Haus last Sunday, ASU was able to capture the spot, and now they will travel to Charlotte next Saturday and Sunday to compete against the nine other best club teams in the state. Last Sunday's game began with both sides playing hard with chances to score, but it was ASU who was able to score first on a goal by Doug Dewar. Soccer Haus was able to tie up the game, 20 miputej^tgr pn an indirect free kick 10 yards out. Intense play continu$J"for the remainder of rTie when they were awarded a penalty kick. Chris Baird took the kick and scored to put the Apps up by two. The Mountaineers were able to score one more before the end of the game when Brent Watts scrapped the ball away from the goalie and scored, giv­ ing the Apps a 4-1 victory and the State Cup Bid. This was the club's 4th game of the season, giving them a record of 3-0-1. The team has 2 more games against Rabun Gap and Morganton and then they will play in a league tournament. The club's next game will be at Kidd Brewer Stadium on Sunday, April 23 at 3:00 against Rabin Gap. Students and faculty are encouraged to come out and support the ASU Men's Club Soccer team as they try to increase their record to 4-0-1. Mountaineer Mania The Mountaineer Mania Sports Trivia Quiz returns with the answer to the hardest trivia question yet. The question is: Who was the pitcher that threw the pitch that Hank Aaron hit out of the park for his 715th home run? What team did he play for and what is he doing today? The answer is "Big" A1 Downing. Downing played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and today ne is singing the blues as a country-western singer. He is called "Big" A1 Downing because he is rumored to be quite large around the waist. Many people entered but we can only have one winner and that winner is Chris Bowles. He receives a $10 gift certificate from Mountaineer Mania on King Street and as the added bonus a special kiss from the newly elected Sports Babe is in the offing. Thanks for entering and look for the next question in Tuesday's issue. AWARD-WINNING SPIRIT: ASU's Varsity Cheerleading squad has once again won in national competition. The competition, sponsored by the Universal Cheerleading Association, was held April Lady Mountaineers win By MARK GILTMIER Appalachian Staff Wriler The ASU women's track team split their team for two separate meets and were successful at both. Half of the team traveled to David­ son for the Davidson/Ridgeview relays, while the remainder of the team was in Richmond, Kentucky for the Becky Boone relays. Appalachian, with coach John Weaver on hand, won the Davidson meet with no problem at all. When all was finished, ASU tallied 141 points, while the closest team to them was Duke, with 108 points. Fourteen other schools competed in the meet, including Western Carolina, Furman, and Davidson. The closest Southern Conference team to the Lady Apps was Western Carolina, with 60 points. The Mountaineers won 8 of the 18 events and ran away from the com­ petition. The womens track team also set two school records while par­ ticipating at the meet.

Major League Baseball heads into jull swings Rv ROGER WATSON By unrro \\i A TCAV Assistant Sports Editor Even though the weather in Boone makes sports-minded people think more of football and skiing, believe it or not, it's baseball season. The Major League season went into full swing last week in a sunny Riverfront Stadium. This season has many ques­ tions associated with it. Here are just a few. Will Pete Rose's gambling pro­ blems hinder Cincinnati's perfor­ mance? Can the Dodgers repeat as World Champions? Along the same lines, can Orel Hershiser continue his scoreless inning streak? Will the Orioles win a game before June? And, can the Braves find a way to keep TBS viewers interested? A couple of these questions have already been answered in the early go­ ing. Pete Rose's gambling problems seem to be totally cleared up as far as the Cincinnati fans are concerned. They showed nothing but support for him as he was introduced on opening day. A standing ovation was given and the fans held up signs that had slogans saying things like, "We bet on you Pete" and "Supporting Pete Rose isn't a Gamble for A True Reds The Doci ^, Fan."

None of that for the Orioles this year as they took the first two games from Boston before losing compared to the bad blood between these two clubs.

It is unfortunate that The Ap­ palachian is the only student Newspaper on campus. Perhaps what it needs is a little competition, such as it had ten or fifteen years ago, when there was a smaller newspaper, The Campus Crier. I am told that it was a "training and practice newspaper" for student journalists aspiring to what was at that time the honor of writing for The Ap­ palachian. In my two and a half years as a student here at ASU, time and time again I have picked up a copy of The Appalachian, hoping to find something redeeming in it, and each time I am disappointed. When I open up the editorial page of The Winston-Salem Journal, my hometown newspaper, I frequently encounter articles with which 1 disagree. I have no complaints about that. However, it is scarcely an exag­ geration to say that not once have 1 ever turned to the editorial page of The Appalachian without finding two or three articles that 1 was thoroughly disgusted and deeply of­ fended by—not necessarily as a Christian, but merely as a relatively decent, sensible person. I am not referring only to the recent editorial or two that sparked the current debate and prompted the administra­ tion to threaten to shut down the newspaper; I am talking about the fact that throughout my time here as a student I have seen article after ar­ ticle, month after month, that has . tastelessly lambasted, denigrated, and belittled people. It is one thing to criticize others' beliefs and opinions, or to expound a point of view that is radical or controversial; but it is quite another to be repeatedly and consistently tactless, obnoxious, obscene, and in­ sulting in doing so as The Ap­ palachian is. The editorial staff is quite right in saying that it is the du­ ty of the student newspaper to do the former when it is called for; but no one has the right to do the latter. It is ironic that in the name of "tolerance," "fairness," and "liberality" our newspaper finds it necessary to be so intolerant and hostile toward those who hold opi­ nions with which the staff disagrees.

Gladly he took the gifts, knowing that with a bit of encouragement from a Sycophant, a donor's vanity, coupled with a tax deduction, might generate income indefinitely. be effectively Such income could shielded from outside inspection and could be used for all sorts of covert endeavors. Why, after a period of lime, it might be possible to "shake the tree twice" by selling the name of a corral to a new contributor when the previously honored one died. The possibilities seemed endless, the con­ tributors numerously and easily fool­ ed. They were inebriated with success and reflected glory, feeling that all the wor)d must admire them for their great magnanimity. Had they truly known all the need and pain that ex­ isted and occured in the pasture, in the corrals and folds, they might more accurately have viewed themselves not as wise Overseers and wealthy donors, but as unwitting pawns whose knowledge of the pasture was the equivalent of a peasant's riches. But, unknowing and uncaring so long as flatteries, favors, and tax deductions were extended, they were happily, blindly and willingly misled, smug in their imagined importance. Rarely would they be permitted to catch even a glimpse of the true states of the Iambs and those who tended and taught them. The Storm Engrossed in their studies and play, the lambs were mostly unaware of the storm; only a few near the exits were aware of its intensity. But the sheep were feeling the full, open force of the cold rain and wind as they were directed by the Sycophants across a steep, treacherous slope.

E S E R attempting by speech and deportment to imitate the Shepherd more closely than the next. Gazing through a win­ dow just as the sun broke through the scattering storm clouds, the Shepherd mused to himself that the sun had come forth as if he had beckoned it to do so. He congratulated himself on his clearly superior managerial skills and knowledge, convinced that all the inhabitants of his domain must be truly thankful for his demonstrated and obviously predestined leadership. Then he broke into song and the Underlings and Toadies joined in a wild cacophony, each attempting to sing the more impressive counterpoint to his theme. The sounds of thanksgiving for such preeminent intendance resounded across the fields. In their still-windswept and muddy tract of the pasture, a small, tired and dispirited band of sheep listened to the wild chorus and watched as a new name was nailed above the door of a nearby fold. An inquisitive young sheep asked, "Why is a new name being placed there? I have inquired throughout the pasture and can find no one who knows this person whose name is be­ ing displayed." "This person is unknown to us but has been enticed to give gold or land to be thus honored. Once, the dedicated old sheep who had been truly unselfish in giving their lives to tending and teaching the lambs were so honored. But today gold is valued more than dedicated and unselfish service. Today gold is all that matters." The Shepherd's voice rang even more exultant. Already he and the Sycophants were fleshing out another brilliant plan to direct the sheep on a daring and predictably victorious struggle against a new challenge. Hearing an unusually high and sus­ tained celebratory chord from the house, a young sheep inquired, "Why are they so jubilant when we know better ways to get to new fields and to carry out the mission of the pasture? Obviously so much of what they do is genuinely counter-productive to our needs and objectives. Does no one care? Can no one do something? WHAT IF ALL OF US ACTED IN CONCERT...?" Already the other sheep were walk­ ing away, heads lowered, each look­ ing for his own sprig or two of green grass. Confused, feeling defeated and used, the young sheep stubbornly raised yet again, but now only to himself, the question, "BUT WHAT IF...?" And then wearily, .vyith a slower walk, wiser but possessing con­ siderably less enthusiasm, he, as sheep had done for generations before him, turned to tend and teach the lambs.

As you know, we have elected a group, a Senate of the Sheep, to represent us and present our needs and those of the lambs to the Shepherd. The Senate members always seem to feel better for having met, but nothing substantive comes from it. All they do is meet and bleat. Their efforts are essentially masturbatory, never coupled with courage to conceive and bring forth genuine change. The Shepherd and his Sycophants are generally amused by their actions, knowing that sheep lack the courage to actually confront authority. We can only correct the in­ equities of the pasture if all the sheep are united, resolute and determined. Then we can win, not only because of our greater numbers, but also because we are right. But it has never been so. It seems not to be the way of sheep." "BUT, WHAT IF...?" The young sheep was cut off in mid-sentence by an older one. "Forget it. We have always obeyed. We are provided with food, drink and shelter, as poor as they may be, and we are often mistreated but we are willing to accept these conditions for security. Acceptance is the only way to stay in this pasture and not end up on someone's dinner table." Silenced, the young sheep angrily thought of the absurd injustices he saw about him and thought, "BUT, WHAT IF ALL OF US DID ACT IN CONCERT.. .?" Warmly clad and stepping easily over the well known path, the Sycophants, ever mindfully of the dis­ tant gaze of the Shepherd, moved ahead. They would make fun of him behind his back later, but now was no time to appear frivolous. The sheep, wet, cold and dispirited, followed as best they cold over the slick, rough rocks, through mud and brambles. Secure in his authority and confident of his management skills, the Shepherd thought ahead to the next meeting of his friends and Overseers. Once again they would be impressed with his wise and daring ac­ complishments. Once again he would warm himself to the glow of their open admiration. Once again he would boast of the excellent way he successfully led the sheep through the terrible storm and how he conquered the dangerous heights of this moun­ tain. They were so easy to fool!

"Where are we going?" a young sheep called above the wind to one of the elders. To the other side of the pasture " "Why?" "That's a good question, but none of us can tell you why." But the other side of the pasture can be reached more easily and more quickly. If we are going there why don't we go directly across the smooth, firm area to our right? Why must we continue to go so out-of-theway and climb these steep, slippery rocks which have already caused in­ jury to so many?" "Truly there is no need for us to be here at all, but this is the way ordain­ ed by the Shepherd and the Sycophants. Notice, if you will, that the Shepherd is not here and that the Sycophants are warmly clad in water­ proofed garments and that they walk a well cleared, practically level path which none of us is permitted to tread. Often they bring us this or some similar way for no legitimate reason. Always some of us are in­ jured, always we are cold, and always we make this senseless journey so we are kept from tending and teaching the lambs. But our complaints are unheeded, and we are called trouble makers and accused of insubordina­ tion if we question the Tightness of their decisions. A number have been punished or even ejected from the pasture for doing so." Again the young sheep spoke, "But there is so much pain here. And the other side of the pasture is so near and can be reached so easily if we were on­ ly permitted to do so. We need to get back to tending the lambs and to our other duties, yet they prod us on in this ridiculous manner. BUT, LISTEN, WHAT IF ALL OF US SHOULD TURN AT ONCE, REFUSE TO CLIMB OVER THESE MOUNTAINS AND FOLLOW OUR OWN GOOD INSTINCTS DIRECT­ LY TO THE OTHER SIDE? WOULD NOT THE SHEPHERD AND HIS SYCOPHANTS BE FORCED TO FOLLOW? WE ARE MORE THAN THEY!" "Yes," an old sheep answered, "they would be forced to follow, and often we have thought of that. But we can never agree among ourselves as to how, when, and what to do. The ma­ jority of the sheep see only their little parts of their pasture and have little idea of what actually goes on elsewhere, especially in the imposing housing of the Shepherd. Many of us who know are afraid to speak out, for we have seen others kept from the good grass and water by doing so. A 11 ARMY ROTC THE SMARTEST COLLEGE COURSE YOU CAN TAKE. �THE A PPA LA CHI A N.

Ten surveys were distributed to each SGA senator. "That way, we had off-campus responses through off-campus senators and oncampus responses through Residence Halls," Burgess said.

By JON JIMISON At last week s Student Senate"hieeting, a bill calling for individual smoke detectors in each residence hall united was passed. ' According to the bill's author, senator Tripp Brown, the bill came about because of the fires on campus this semester. "This is for the students and to send a message back home to the parents and to the future students that ASU is concerned about your security, safety and welfare," Brown said. Brown is concerned that the bill might be vetoed by SGA President Gary Greene. Greene (old The Appalachian that he is currently undecided on the bill. "I have not determined whether I'll approve it or not," he said. Greene said that he is in the process of meeting with administrators and staff members concerning the bill. "I think it (the bill) is a gpod idea," Greene said. "But it needs to be a little more concise and in detail, because it may affect student fees and the university's liability insurance." Greene said he feels there is a discrepancy between the research figures presented to student senate and the figures now showing up. — Tripp Brown SGA Senator Greene added that with more work and research, the bill would have a better chance of receiving administrative action. The bill was sponsored by SGA Student Affairs Committee and its Chairperson Kelli Hammond does not think the bill will be vetoed. Applications are now being taken for the position of Legal Intern with ASU Student Legal Services for the fall semester, 1989. This position includes 12 credit hours and an $800 stipend. Application eadline is Thursday, April 13. To obtain an applica'ton, come to room 319 Workman Hall or call 2-6255 for more information.

All interested upperclassmen and faculty s °uld contact Tom Adams in the Office of Inter"ational Studies for additional details. The deadline 0 r applying to the Japanese Consulate in Atlanta is April 30, 1989. "If it is sent to the administration now and it was denied," Hammonds said, "then it would have to go through the whole (approval) process again." Hammonds said the bill has received extensive research. "Basically, all we're do­ ing now is making sure the administration knows all the research we've done," she said. Brown said that the research he had done supports the need for this type of system.

The award, his second from the organization, was presented March 17 at NASPA's national convention in Denver. Mclntire also received a distinguished service award from the group in 1982. The award, presented by NASPA's 11-state southern region, recognizes Mclntire's "creative leadership and extraordinary service to the student affairs profession." He served as president of the southern region of the organization for two years and chaired an international programs commission for the national organization in 1987. sr f r f Several errors were contained in the April 6 article "Belk Library is on priority list for fourth floor construction." The writer was misinformed about the fourth floor addi­ tion. According to Vice Chancellor For Business Affairs Ned Trivette, any future additions to Belk Library will have to come in ways other than a new floor. Also, the article indicated that funds will be solicited from alumni to go towards construction. All money collected goes to what is inside the building and not for construction. The Appalachian appologizes for any inconven­ ience these errors may have caused. Next week, The Appalachian will run an article on future ASU expansions and priority listings. "It will wake them up if they're asleep," Brown said. "If there is a fire, they'll be able to get out of there and pull the main alarm which would evacuate the whole building." The bill reads, "Therefore be it resolved that the Appalachian State University Stu­ dent Senate recommends the installation and upkeep of smoke detectors in each unit of each Residence Hall by ASU. Each smoke detector should be battery operated and independent of a main fire protection system." Although the university is responsible for the upkeep of the alarms, Brown said the students would have to respect the alarms. "If a person did purposely keep it from going off—like spraying hairspray in it or broke it in any way or removed the battery, then he would be at fault and would be dealt with accordingly," Brown said. "If he damaged it, he would have to pay for it, just like a hole in the wall," Brown said. Cousteau Researcher to speak David Brown, naturalist, photographer and explorer for the Cousteau Society, will give a slide presentation and speak on Threats to the Global Oceans" tonight at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium. A member of the generation that was educated and entertained by the Cousteau Society, Brown now travels throughout the world giving an insider's look at current society projects. The Cousteau Society was founded in 1973 by Jacques-Yves Cousteau, captain, explorer, environmentalist and a pioneer of SCUBA technology. The society is a non­ profit, membership-supported organization chartered to protect and improve the quality of life for future generations. Cousteau has spent a lifetime at sea, and is committed to preserving the natural beau­ ty of the ocean and its inhabitants—a beau­ ty that most would never know without his crew's etlorts. The Cousteau society brings the information it gathers to audiences throughout the world, acting on the convic­ tion that an informed and alerted public will make decisions to safeguard vital resources. Brown divides his time between expedi­ tions and lectures for the society. He has worked as a researcher, naturalist and photographer on whale research projects off the New England coast, and has done oceanographic research in the Sargasso Sea and the East Indies. After graduating from Cornell Universi­ ty, Brown earned a marine operators license sailing aboard various vessels off the East Coast of the U.S. and throughout the Caribbean. A certified diver, he studied sea life in all regions that he sailed. Brown's expedition work since joining the Cousteau Society has taken hint from Cuba to Kodiac, Alaska. He has traveled with the Cousteau Society's ship, the Calyp­ so, in Cuba and on the Sea of Cortez. ex­ pedition in Mexico, filming for the "Rediscovery of the World" series.

I really recommend it, because hey, there's more to a magazine than its contents. First, I scoped the ads: a full page ad for the new Dead Milkmen album, a generically fashionable man in a full; page whiskey ad who looks like an airbrushed amalgam of Daryl Hall, Billy Joel and John Cougar, a pret­ ty metal band trying to get people to buy their album, and the college radio (not ours, of course) Top 40 listing of psychedelic, artphag pop stars—corporate sponsored, of course.

Years i, popular music (like religion, politics and art) was a statement—an expression of emo­ tion, belief and faith (well, almost). Classic rockers of yesteryear—or yesterday—may have wound up fat, old and burned out, but there always seemed to be a shred of youthful idealism buried somewhere! 'neath all the flab and drugs.

Sure there's some stress but no real problem — no migraine headaches, no ulcers, no heart prob­ lems or hypertension, just the usual small emotional, mental and physical inconveniences that come with the day-to-day life of the college student. Perhaps you have a muscle ache around the shoulders or neck once in a while, an occasional headache, perhaps a rash or touch of stomach problems, or, maybe a few more colds than you used to get or that rare occa­ sion when it's hard to concentrate, or you find you get frustrated a little more quickly. . .but a real problem with stress? No way, not me! It may be that you shouldn't be so quick to give yourself the "all clear" signal when it comes to the effect that stress is having upon you. Those little aches and pains or that feeling of frustration and difficulty concen­ trating may be warning signs that stress is nibbling away at you. If ignored these seemingly harmless symptoms can, in the long run, lead to some major health problems. More immediately those symptoms of stress can most definitely have some negative effects on how you feel physically, emotionally and mentally. A number of studies have shown that change is one of the major fac­ tors that brings about stress, and col­ lege students are subjected to more change than most times/areas of life. Contrary to the popular belief, the student life is no "bed of roses." The contention that this popular image of the "free and easy" college life is incorrect may easily be dispelled by looking at the immediate changes the college student is subjected to. First, one leaves (high school) a situation in which one has stature, is a part of the social system, and is generally com­ fortable but now has to adjust to the new, unknowns of college. Second, the individual has to leave the com­ munity where she or he has adjusted to life as a member of a family and home to move into an eight or nine story brick building; he or she is now not one of two or three children but one of two, three or five hundred adults. As you may ascertain, we could go on from there with change alter change and adjustment after adjustment. While working with students (and others), I am constantly amazed at the number of people who suffer from the above mentioned symptoms of stress related problems and still think these physical and emotional dif­ ficulties are "natural and normal." A couple of years ago at another university, I had a 19-year-old student who was referred to me by a physician with the request that she be assisted in overcoming migraine headaches. At the beginning of our talks, it appeared that she was suffering from some of STRESS VULNERABILITY TEST , , T b ^ f " o l l o w i n 8 'est was developed by psychologists Lyle H.

See STRESSEDPage 4 Undecided about your career? Career Planning and Employment Office can help By NICOLE PARSONS Special lo The Appalachian Planning your career...do you know how to begin and where? The process begins a lot sooner than you might realize. Although you may not know it, you can start the process as soon as you enter college. The Career Planning and Place­ ment Office has established a fourstage process which students go through before they graduate and students (or those just entering col­ lege) can start researching career interests. This is an excellent time for students to drop by the Career office to see a counselor or to visit Peer Career on the second floor of the Stu­ dent Union. Both places provide an environment for students to discuss personally and privately about what they are interested. In addition to talking with counselors, it's a time for students to In addition to talking with counselors, it's a time for students to begin to assess their per­ sonal interests, skills and abilities. This can help give the student even more insight into what they might want to do. ultimately begin a job in their desired career field. The first stage for freshmen is exploring and looking at various career options that are available. This is known as trying on different career "hats." During this period, freshman begin to assess their personal interests, skills and abilities. This can help give the student even more insight into what they might want to do. The second stage is when students actually choose a career. This usually occurs sometime between the sophomore and junior year. There are many avenues to explore before deciding. One is to go out and meet people already working in the particular field. You may even want to go up a step further by "shadow­ ing." This involves spending a day or a number of hours on the job with a career person. Of course talking with family, friends, counselors, pro­ fessors and/or an advisor also aids in the deciding process. During this period, it is wise to get involved with any co-curricular activities or organizations that relate to your career interests. After explor­ ing options and deciding on a career, two more stages remain. The third one is to gain practical experience. While experience can be gained dur­ ing the freshman and sophomore years, juniors and seniors are more apt to gain career-related experience through internships. Internships are but one valuable way; another is volunteering. ASU and the Boone community offer many opportunities for students to volunteer their services or donate their time to non-profit organiza­ tions. In addition, gaining that need­ ed experience may be as easy as work­ ing a summer or holiday job in your interest area. Once students are seniors, they enter the fourth stage of job seeking. This is the final stage before a student lands his desired career or job. This will probably be the busiest and most stressful time during the whole proc­ ess. Students research employers and their companies and read all available information on potential employers. At this time, you will need to develop an effective resume and make as many contacts as possible concerning jobs. Finally, the student will par­ ticipate in the interviewing process. Exploring, deciding, experiencing and job seeking are the four stages students go through at some time dur­ ing their college years. No matter what stage you are in, there is help for you.

The Sex Pistols' "Pretty Va­ cant" and Talking Heads' No Compassion" describe this generation better than any other songs—that is why these are the two best singles of all time: "Compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time" (David Byrne). 2. The most dateable babe in music is Morrissey. 3. The most dateable dude in music is Morrissey. As a source of general thought, the poll raised more interesting questions: . Why does Whitney Houston smile so much? . Do we really care who the best/worst dressed/look­ ing/smelling/etc. dudes/babes in music are? Why did they ask "Who the sickest, most decadent rocker of all time is," when they know darn well that all responses will either be "Lou Reed." "Elvis Presley" or Aspen Productions presents "Sid Vicious," and that anyone dumb enough to say "Guns 'N Roses" deserves to have his/her head shaved, and his/her Camaro vandalized beyond repair. 4.

Andy Warhol secrets and ambitions—a relationship so complicated and unfathomable and ultimately wonderful that it proved to be among the most fulfill­ ing experiences in my life. Amy, the one to whom, my true feelings be known, I would never even attempt to justify my actions, and who would never expect me to apologize. And David, psychic as usual, a brother if ever 1 had one (never an individual to expend his energy on lost causes or even on unfavorable odds) who had the good sense to give up on me long before I ever gave up on myself and who stands fidgeting, uncomfortable in his obligatory (though he finds it somewhat unsettl­ ing that he's unable to pinpoint the source of his unfair obligation, but who attends anyway to assuage future guilt heaped on by whomever it is that replaces me in the guilt-heaping department) presence here—though he's sufficiently distanced, adequately rationalized, significantly othered in­ to a calm let's-get-this-over-with-so-Ican-smoke-a-cigarette attitude. David, whose eyes haven't met Amy's all evening (though she's tried, more than enough times), who hasn't yet gathered the nerve to succumb to Amy's embrace (though, of course, it's inevitable) fearing that perhaps he might then feel some part of her loss, and cry. Taken one level further, I bravely ask: Will any ot the following bands (who are or will soon be on tour) appear in a Charlotte Club? a. Love and Rockets, with The Pixies All Student Produced b.

My family, whose presence here today offers the only tangible proof Stressed Continued from Page 3 the basic symptoms of stress reac­ tion: the headaches, of course, with an occasional problem sleeping and general depression. We attempted to look at her current lifestyle and especially recent changes that may have brought on the added stress. She could not recall any specific changes in her life over the past year that would have triggered the reaction until we began to discuss her relation­ ship with her boyfriend. Two months earlier, they had decided to get mar­ ried during the next summer. Out­ wardly my client seemed to feel that the prospect of marriage held only very positive reactions. As we dis­ cussed the matter further, she was able to identify some of the anxieties about marriage (and the changes, adjustments and loss of independence that she felt she would be going through). With the recognition of these fears and positive actions such as discussions with her fiance, plan­ ning, and Biofeedback, she was able to overcome her migraine headaches. This case may serve to illustrate the facts: 1) change will bring about stress—be it "good" change or "bad," and 2) we most often find that there are a large number of "stressors" working in our lives that we never take time to realize are there. The keys to management of stress and staying healthy are found in three areas: awareness, planning and action. The first of these, awareness, requires that you evaluate your stress symptoms. Below this article is a sim­ ple "Stress Evaluation" check list you may wish to take a moment to review and begin to look at how much stress (and distress) is affecting your life.

I always wanted to start my column by say­ ing that, but since it seems to be so rare, 1 figured I better do it at the beginning of the season while they are at least playing .500 ball. 1 would also like to say that the Braves defeated the Dodgers and are on their way to the glory they once had. And the last thing, before . start my actual column, is that the Flyers are scum and the Caps are to win the Stanley Cup, but those of us with Boone Cablevision will not be able to enjoy it. Also, because we have Boone Cablevision, all we can enjoy are the Braves, while every other cable system in America has WGN, which shows Harry Caray and the Cubs. This column's purpose is to com­ plain about everything in the world of sports, from Boone Cablevision's lack of sports knowledge to the socalled referees of the Intramural League. To start with, I would like to know how some of these people got Ahe job to referee these games. 1 will itart with my expertise in baskettall. I admit the team I played with vas not very good. Winning is not everything, but when I come out of agame with bruises up and down lay leg, I feel like I have been in a war. I'm not saying that we would lave won more games, because this snot true. I am a firm believer that ike referee cannot affect the outtome of a game. If the team had not gotten into the situation it was in, then the referee would not have ike power to affect the game's outtome. °Ur f'rSt gamC WaS' ASU has an overall combined score of 34 points in the race for the cup, followed by Furman with 26.5 and VMI with 22. conference championsip and runnerup spots in wrestling, cross-country, and soccer, the men's program seems to be well on its way to capturing Ap­ palachian State's sixth straight Com­ missioner's Cup and their eleventh in 12 years.

The Fifth Annual National Capital Invitational Drill Competition had ROTC drill teams from all over the nation com­ peting in various categories from pla­ toon size units to two-man fancy drill demonstrations. Judges are provided from all branches of the armed forces, including the Army's elite ceremonial unit, the 3rd Infantry "Old Guard" Regiment. "I was pleased for the time we had to practice with the results. Usually the meet is held the last week in April," said Cdt/LTC David Sink. "Seven teams competed from all over the East coast," said Sink. Major Ward added, "I think the narrow defeat for first place will motivate our team to try extra hard in for the last three years," said Major Carl Ward, the advisor to the ASU Pershing Rifles club.

Last week the Southern Conference released the current statistics in the Commissioner's Cup, an overall per­ formance contest for men, and the Germann Cup that judges the best women's athletic program in the Southern Conference. Because of the indoor track team's ample, in basketball, ASU received six points because of their third-place finish. Since UT-Chattanooga won the title, it received eight. They are in fifth place overall with 21 points. The spring sports will be counted into the points standings when their seasons end. The four sports now in competi­ tion are baseball, outdoor track, golf, and tennis. The women's program is once again on a roll in its quest for the Ger­ mann Cup. Since its inception three years ago in honor of former Appalachian Photo by Troy Horock TENNIS: The Men's tennis team returns home for a tough match against Catawba College today at the President's Courts. The team will then face Western Carolina on Thursday. The Catawba match starts at 2:30 p.m. while the WCU match starts at 2:15 p.m. first, winning 9-0 They also played Furman and UTC, losing 0-9 and 1-8. The men's tennis team traveled Mon­ day to UNC-Charlotte where they lost 3-6. The teams are led by top seeds Meredith Phillips and David Aycock. Aycock is a dominant player on the court with a powerful serve and volley. Phillips has a solid baseline game and an accurate serve. This year's coach, Kevin Burke, is liked and respected by the teams. "He gives us constant support t hat enhances our day to day motivation," Phillips said. "Our coach is fun, not repressed, he allows us to feel comfor­ table as ourselves; but he is strict enough to make us do what we have to do," Jim Anderson said. Like all other athletes, these athletes are forced to follow a tough schedule. This year's team has adjusted well. The team is con­ tinuously improving their overall game: volley, net play, baseline play, and serves. Coach Burke is very effec­ tive at guiding the team's overall performance. very close-knit, always sacrificing for the betterment of the team. The team is very competitive. "Tennis teaches us to be competitive in all aspects of life. It helps us to initiate self-respect, and gives us a sense of responsibility to ourselves and to our teammates," Anderson said. The women's tennis team travels to Mars Hill this Friday for a match against the Lady Lions. The men's team has a makeup match this week in Johnson City, Tennessee against ETSU. The women play at home again on April 11 against Catawba while the men will play Wofford Col­ lege this Saturday. Mountaineer Mania Sports Trivia This week's question is probably one of the toughest yet. I used to know the answer to this but when asked the other day, 1 found that the knowledge had apparently leaked from one of my ears.

If you happen to know this ques­ tion, or if you would like to look up the answer in the library (Cod for­ bid), send the answer to us. Then, 1 will probably never forget who it is again.

New policy is a monopoly A new policy at ASU may constitute an unfair use of a legal monopoly. The monopoly in question is ASU-owned New River Light and Power Company, the only source of electricity available to most students. Past -due student accounts with New River Light and Power com­ pany are now flagged by the ASU Controller's office—making it impossible for students to get a transcript, register for classes, or even graduate if they owe money to New River Light and Power. This new policy was obviously not implemented with students in mind. Not only does the policy discriminate against ASU students in particular, but it also ignores the fact that the lifestyle of most students Shauna Walker lJ i Maybe I overanalyze things. Of course I do! But no matter how hard I try to eradicate it, that trait simply pervades my personality. At least I do try to Winnie the Pooh is a wonderful counselor.

But if I ever figure it out, what on earth will I talk about? Sometimes I have trouble understanding people who are archetypically "strong and silent." But peo­ ple who are possessed of this quality have my baffled awe and respect. The quiet types always appear so unruffled, so dignified. And so frustratingly mysterious! Individuals like myself rack their brains trying to figure out the reserved ones. I imagine all sorts of enigmatic reasons for their silence. What great thoughts must lurk in that head? How must a babbling idiot like myself appear to this person? Or is silence just a disguise for generally having nothing to say? In any case it's enervating. There must be a reason behind my endless conver­ sation. I don't think I'm brilliant. I don't think anyone is impressed by the vast range and intensity of my emotions.. In fact, I think most people are scared by emotions. After all, they remind us that we're human, that we're real. At least I hope so. Who am I trying to convince with all this drivel? I ask this question already fully aware of its answer. I suppose when I run around with my heart on my sleeve (and in my shoes, on my leg, in my hair, in my pocket) I only want someone to tell me I am sane. That I am needed and wanted. Of course I know these things. I know my mother and father love me. But I never tire of hearing them say it. I guess I'm just possessed by an uncontrollable need to get everything off my chest. To expel any pent-up feelings about anything. But most of all, I seek reassurance. Yeah. I guess that could shut me up, at least temporarily. But conversation always simmers in me and can't go long without boiling over... Campus quotes: The students speak out issuch that several individuals share the responsibility of paying utility bills—though usually these accounts can be opened in only one name. As a result of this policy, ASU students may not get needed classes—or (ven graduate—simply because his roommates did not pay New River. It is important to note that students did not open their accounts with Ihe knowledge that their business dealings with New River could have Do you feel the university should build an Italian restaurant despite the objections such drastic effects on their college careers. The implementation of the policy completely without warning is even more unfair to ASU students. Furthermore, when students opened their New River iccounts, they were making a commitment to New River, not to the university. of Sollecitos? New River has proved to be a valuable asset to the university by channeling money into the university's endowment fund. This does jot, however, change the fact that the university seems to be using New River in an unfair way. i<jj The implementation of the new policy came as the result of a recom­ mendation made by state auditors, whasuggested adding New River to Ihe checklist for payments to be made by graduating seniors, though this policy now affects all students. Settling past-due power bills is going to be unduly difficult for ASU students. Students must pay past-due accounts at the New River Light aid Power Co. office; then they must take their receipts to the ASU Cashier's office. Rhonda Reiltinger I.eslee Walker Sophomore/Business A dministration Senior/Biology "Hell yeah. I mean Sollecito's doesn't have a monopoly here. Appalachian has the right to make money too, so I say go for it." "Definitely. There's been enough demand for it from the students. The university is finally listening to us." "I think it ought to be built. It gives the school a piece of the pie." Suicide deserved more coverage This new policy is unfair to students and it was implemented in a 'y unprofessional way. ASU should take care to properly inform its of all university policy changes, particularly those which could vea direct effect on students.

I have no interest in turning the personal tragedy of this family into a matter of public scrutiny. I do, however, believe that there is a crucial issue here that goes well beyond this individual event. 1 am referring to the growing problem of suicide among the young: a problem that frequently goes hand-in-hand with alcohol and drug abuse. As microcosms of society, schools and universities including this one are not immune from social prob­ lems. If, however, they seek to ignore them, or sweep them under the carpet because it is not good public relations, or in the mistaken belief that they will go away, then such schools become co-conspirators in the process enabling the problem to grow unabated. Now I do not have the answer to the questions I would like to raise in this letter, but I do believe that a student newspaper is an appropriate forum in which to raise these issues, and I do believe that you have the responsibility to investigate these matters and students have the right to know: 1. Given national statistics on alcohol and drug abuse in the population, what number of students would we estimate could be identified as being in danger in this regard? 2. Given these numbers, is the current level of service and staffing in psychological counseling adequate? if not, what plans if any are under­ way to improve these ser­ vices? 3. Can students with drug and alcohol related problems or other severe emotional and psychological distress be expected 10 succeed in their studies? If not, what role and responsibility should the university assume for assisting them with these problems so that they are capable of succeeding academically? 4. What are the costs to the university of drug and alcohol related accidents such as dorm fires, and what action is taken after such events to provide counseling for students involved in these incidents? 5. What role should the univer­ sity and the public schools play in bringing drug and alcohol education to all students, not just students identified as having a prob­ lem? How can this education be integrated into diverse areas of the curriculum such as marketing, media studies, adolescent psychology and literature? 6. What role does and should the university play in tacitly supporting student consump­ tion of alcoholic beverages through sporting events, money taken from various industries and campus publicity. On the latter mat­ ter I refer to the front page of the same issues of The Appalachian. This page featured a photograph of female ASU students apparently drinking and apparently having a good time. Whatever your inten­ tion in running this photograph, it continues the media mystique so skillfully fostered by our brewing companies that young people have fun when they drink. As someone once observed, if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. Finally, I realize that this is not a particularly happy or popular issue or topic. No one wants to suggest that students should not be permit­ ted to drink. However, the plain truth is, that this consumer culture has an increasing problem related to drugs and drink, and the problem is reaching out to our children even in the elementary schools. If we do not face this problem head on, we will encourage it to grow until it cannot be controlled. Smoke and mirrors are not the answers. Trite and superficial utterances like JUST SAY NO reflect an intellectually impoverished mind and ignore the complex social, economic, and emotional problems that create abuse and addiction. Murphy Brown and other recent television hit series are often no bet­ ter. By all means they bring the problem out of the closet by in­ troducing a character fresh from the Betty Ford Clinic, but after that we seldom see them struggling with the problem. It would be nice if everything in life ended tidily at the end of thirty minutes, but real life is not a sit-com and television cannot be our yardstick for understanding issues that run much deeper than the media will explore. The real question before us is perhaps whether we really are prepared to think seriously about these issues or, even more frighteningly, whether we are capable of thinking about these issues. The front page of the March 30th issue had one other important story. It was a report of the National Assess­ ment of Educational Progress and among other things research suggests that American schools are very poor in promoting "higher order thinking skills" and "thoughtful citizenship," If that's the case, are we at Appalachian State Uniyersity part of the problem or part of the solution?

Gabriel said that in the past work study students have only been allowed to work 15 hours per week. 44We think that if any stu­ dent who has a 2.5 (grade point average) and qualifies for this aid can work up to 20 hours a week under work study," Gabriel said. Student temporary work is non-need based. "The procedure for finding a stu­ dent temporary job calls for the student to contact any (campus) employer that he or she wants to and that employer has the necessary paperwork to fill out and start the process," Weaver said. According to Gabriel, there is little dif­ ference in the types of jobs between these two kinds of employment. 4'About every place has some (student workers) of each (type of employment)." Videocassette to be released but... Last Temptation of Christ doubtful in Boone By MARK S. WILLIAMS Appalachian Siafl Writer Recent controversy over Martin Scorsese's movie, The Last Temptation of Christt has and will affect Boone residents. Unless The Movie Gallery or National Video will carry the movie as a rental, Boone residents will probably not be able to rent the movie in Boone. The controversy surrounding the film, which was released in September to theaters, stems from some religious leaders and others who claim that the movie is blasphemous. According to an ad-hoc coalition of Southern California religious leaders, the film portrays Jesus Christ as a 4'mentally deranged and lust-driven man who. . . in a dream sequence comes down off the cross and has a sexual relationship with Mary Magdalene," as reported by the Los Angeles Times, July 13, 1988. Closer to home, Charlotte fundamen­ talists urged Christians to picket the film which opened in Charlotte theaters in September according to the Charlotte Observer, September 1, 1988. The academy award nominated movie, which is based on a novel by Nikos Kazantzakis by the same name questions the degree to which Christ was human. In the fall, Boone theaters agreed not to show the movie in Boone. Now thai the movie is slated for release as a home rental, Boone merchants have decided not to carry it. The majority of the six home video rental stores in Boone will not carry the movie, The Last Temptation of Christy regardless of whether it will be released. Prime Time Video Manager Charlenc Vermeulen said that Prime Time Video will not stock the movie. "We won't be carrying it," Vermeulen said. "While we're interested in carrying what the consumer wants to see, our ethics have precedent on this one." High Country Video's owner David Brown said that he probably won't carry the Correction film. Holton's Video Manager Carol Ann Gillian said that they will not carry the film. "We are a family oriented video club and this is a very controversial movie and being in a Baptist community, it's not going to go over too well," Gillian said. "We're jus?t not even going to fool with it," she added. Tri-County Video's Manager Lina Mast Jane Aycr was unavailable for comment at also said that she would probably not carry press time.

I; Last vear, when Gary and 1 were !j tinning for president and vicepresident, SGA Vice-President Frank 'Moose" Callis said "one of the plain concerns of students, at that dime, was inclement weather. • SGA decided to address the issue. •{'Dr. Mclntire (Vice Chancellor of Jt ident Development) helped the Stu­ dent Government, through me," Callis said, "to create a committee of Administrators, faculty, staff and Students to study the practice that we had and come up with ideas to create a better knowledge base in the student body and also to come up with exactly what would happen in the case of in­ clement weather." The committee recently released a new Inclement Weather Policy and Procedure Statement. The statement describes how a deci­ sion to cancel classes is reached and how the public is informed about these decisions. When inclement weather occurs, the vice chancellor for business affairs, associate vice chancellor for business affairs for physical plant operations and the director of public safety and security make an assessment concerning the need for cancelling classes. Factors considered in the assess­ ment are temperature, wind chill fac­ tor, condition of roads, condition of parking lots and condition of univer­ sity sidewalks. All the vice chancellors discuss the assessment, then the vice chancellor for business affairs consults the chancellor, who then makes the final decision regarding class cancellation. The vice chancellor for academic af­ fairs determines half-day or full-day cancellations. The News Bureau director is notified of the decision by 7 a.m. This director is responsible for contacting the news media. Along with WASU and WATA, major radio and televi­ sion stations in North Wilkesboro, West Jefferson, Newland, Johnson City, Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Raleigh are informed of any cancella­ tions. "It's very possible we could have another snow or two, but I think that we have been very fortunate this year," Tugman said. The new weather policy has only been used once this year, and the university operated on a one hour delay that day. ' According to Tugman, there have been no complaints about the new policy. "I feel that it is a good policy and will work okay," he said. SGA is pleased with the new policy. "I think it's good that we were able to devise a weather policy that is consis­ tent in the process of cancelling classes," SGA President Gary Greene said. "I'm satisfied with it (the policy)," <?allis said. "I think, of course, everyone's number one concern should be getting an education and going to class, and I think that the in­ tegrity of tlyU was retained." Homeless Continued from Page 1 cannot find help in urban areas, so the migrate away from larger cities. He believes that the causes of homelessness is a phenomenon. "There are many people in Boone liv:ng in teepees," Cox said. There are three kinds of housing for the homeless in Boone: emergency short term shelter, transitional hous­ ing and permanent housing. Cox sees 'lie primary cause of Boone housing shortages coming from investors who invest in profit-making housing besides low income housing. The waiting list for low income housing in Boone is over one year for a typical family. Two hundred seven'eeii families are on the Housing Authorities waiting list. "There is no profit fiom investing in low income housing anymore," Cox said. Cox adds that shopping malls and tourist attractions are replacing affordable housing as profitable inestments. "We have a responsibility to our fellow man," he said Former crisis counselor for Hospitality House, Teresa Isaacs, ^ays that people (Boone public) want to help, but homeless people must be willing to cooperate first. Isaacs catagorizcs the homeless into two groups: those who care, and those who just want to get by. "Some of them can manipulate social services agencies better than anyone I've eer Isaacs said.

Isaacs adds that institutions push people out into society with no resources. "They are all looking for the same thing," Isaacs said, "but a lot of them choose this lifestyle over responsibility." Isaacs believes another cause of homelessness in Boone comes from the depressed economies of larger cities in North Carolina. "Homeless people who pass through Boone are victims looking for something better," she said. According to Isaacs and Cox, the poverty rate in Watauga County is 22.7 percent. North Carolina's food stamp participation rate is the fourth lowest in the United States, and the average rent for housing in Boone rose 120 percent, while income only increased 60 percent. According to Isaacs, these figures are a small portion of the problems that affect homelessness in Boone. "I wish we could become more sensitive to the needs of the people on the streets," Isaacs said, "because any one of us could become one of them." •SUB 4 STUDIO A ENTRY BLANK Name Phone Studio A Answer of the Week Just Drop into Campus Mail: ASU Box 5145 c/o Aspen Productions m What could be better than a big delicious, footlong sub, of your choice from Subway?

Inth earlier, administrators at rollege in »linois decided to livery of "condomgrams" in!tobe used in an AIDS (acJ immune deficiency syndrome) „,ion program. fact as about 650 campuses a the country tried to observe a condom Week, the little tive devices provoked struggles ;he propriety of making them bIe to students at Michigan's . valley State College, at Big Community College in Oregon t the universities of Utah and Nebraska-Lincoln, among other places. The late-February controversy in New York was especially heated because state Senator James Donovan, who blasted SUNY-Albany "Sexuality Week," also chairs the state Senate's Education Committee. Donovan called the week's ac­ tivities an example of "terribly misplaced" campus spending. The dance, he charged, amounted to "four hours of sexually explicit music." But SUNY-Albany spokesperson Christine McKnight said the events were less racy and less wellattended—only 38 people showed up tor the Condom Dance—than Donovan imagined. The "G Spot" lecture was a weighty physiological exposition. The music was "regular" rock 'n' roll. Such struggles over condoms have become common. At Knox College in late January, about 30 students pro­ tested officials' decision to delay the "condomgrams." "The mailroom requires a return address so students don't receive harassing or upsetting mail without recourse to the sender," Dean of Students Connie Sharp said. "Some of the condomgrams were sent anonymously." But influenced by the students, Knox administrators relented, allow­ ing the deliveries. "With a disease as serious as AIDS, the college believes this (AIDS education) is important," Sharp said. / Similarly, Southwest Texas State University administrators in early January reversed an earlier decision, voting to allow contraceptives to be distributed on their campus. The action came after a September protest in which students at the University of Texas-Austin promised to "smuggle" condoms to the Southwest State campus. Yet at the University of NebraskaLincoln, housing director Doug Zatechka has refused to install con­ dom machines in the dorms, arguing condoms are best obtained at the stu­ dent health clinic. In defiance, the residents' associations of two dorms voted January 31 to install the machines. "Since it's (sexual intercourse) go­ ing to happen anyway, we might as well be safe about it," Dorm Representative Belise Draper, who presented the resolution, said.

SMITH Special from Ihe Wellness Center Where jo I fit in? It's a proven fact that you can't alternative music if you don't enjoy Wear all black. I bet you didn't know that. But it's a proven scientific fact. Years ot high-priority, top-secret research have produced evidence that there is a direct likage between Sid Vicious and a cynical attitude. It's illegal to [isten to Bauhaus if you wear Levi's. If you don't loathe yourself, you'd better burn your Pogues CDs. Where I come from, there are basically three types of teenagedtype people: (1) ''Redneck Stoners", (2) "Normal Kids" and (3)"Freako Alternative Types". We're all familiar with the Redneck Stoner" category of folks—the kids who drove beat-up Camaros, had long, greasy hair, and listened to loud heavy metal music while hang­ ing out in the Roses' parking lot. The "Normal Kids" made okay grades, shopped at Belk's, liked Top 40 music, and were very j popular at school. The "Freako Alternative Types" wore the most me clothes possible, liked 'ador Dali, pretended sophistica­ tion, hung out on Greensboro's Tate Street, and—you guessed it-listened to pseudo-meaningful cool music". I fell between the "normal" and the "freako" groups. During my senior year of high school, I was in Imbo, balanced between the two, which was a very weird place to be. I enjoyed wearing black, keeping my hair butch-short, reading Nietzche and Jack Kerouac—and 1 liked k Smiths, Elvis Costello, and the Jesus and Mary Chain. Yet, on the fc hand, I got along with my teachers, belonged to the National Honor Society and Future Teachers of America, played in the school or­ chestra, had friends in both of those groups, wore Tretorns, and owned albums by the Rolling Jtones, the Beastie Boys, and Black ^bbath. What did that make me? Why can one not simply enjoy ttjtsic these days? Why can one not cassettes by Chicago and the e* Pistols next to each other? Will k) self-destruct or will they produce an insane offspring per-, mrming "Anarchy in the Park"? Hat are we afraid of?

During college, you have many options for spending your time: To explore and master new areas of knowledge, prepare for a future career, discover more about your own personality, develop new friends and relationships, attend exciting social events, and express your independence. You won't have enough time to pursue all your interests with equal gusto. So you have to make choices. Every day you confront decisions about how to spend your minutes and hours. Together, they add up to how you spend your college days, weeks and years. That's how you determine whether you're creating for yourself the kind of time you want to have at college. Paul A. Grayson, Ph.D., of Wesleyan University, states that "no other environment—not high school beforehand or the conventional workplace or even graduate school afterwards—poses quite the same challenging set of time conditions as the undergraduate experience. What makes this period so challenging, demanding and stressful are two fac­ tors: (1) unstructured time and (2) lack of time management skills. Daily time on campus is largely unstructured, and except for class attendance (not required for everyone), student time is largely unstructured. Although free to set daily schedules, students are not free from the responsibility of fulfilling academic requirements." Grayson emphasizes that "colleges and universities expect students to demonstrate a skill for which they typically have not been prepared by previous school experiences, the skill of budgeting time. Students are sup­ posed to plan their days and nights with an eye on deadlines weeks and months in the future." Below is a list of guidelines to make good use of your time: 1) As a helpful general rule, sched­ ule some time for study on every one of your classes every day or every other day. If the course is difficult, spend at least an hour on it every day. Research on learning has shown that more learning occurs when a student studies one hour everyday for five straight days rather than eight hours all on Saturday or Sunday. The human mind proc­ esses more efficiently and retains information longer if it is exposed to information in reg­ ular periods of time (one to two hours) instead of in one cram­ ming session. 2) Use the time (even five to 10 minutes) between classes to review for the next class, or go over the notes you just took. Many students don't realize that a lot of learning can occur in five to 15 minutes. 3) Make every attempt to do some studying before going to dinner. A good idea is to study your most difficult or demanding course during the day. Daylight hours are generally more pro­ ductive than evening hours for most students. Also, you will be more motivated to work on your other courses because you have your most difficult course already completed. 4) Do your reading either during the day or early in the evening. Academic reading should not be seen as a relaxing activity, done on your bed or in an easy chair. Rather, effective and efficient textbook reading should be an intense activity. Good readers concentrate on pulling out and recording the key ideas, facts and organization. 5) Schedule regular review of your class notes and reading assignments. Regularly review­ ing your notes and readings is the most powerful way to learn, especially if you practice reciting the facts or explaining the con­ cepts out loud. Devote some portion (five to 20 minutes) of each study period reviewing previous notes and readings. Regular review throughout the term is the best method of exam preparation.

Wellness sponsors SWAT By SUSAN STAMPER Special lo The Appalachian If you are fast on your feet, creative, healthy, enthuasiastic, energetic, and interested in health issues, then the Appalachian Wellness Center wants you! The Center is looking for a few good students who meet the above qualifications to join our SWAT team. The SWAT team's mission is to help "smoke out" those individuals on campus who are "holding out" and not practicing good health habits. SWAT members seaich out unhealthy students on campus. So what's SWAT? Not just another cute acronym or a special force of the police department. SWAT stands for Student Wellness Advisory Team. The program originated from general conversation among a few students and is currently in its second year on the Appalachian campus. Last semester, the SWAT team con­ ducted 51 programs to classes, clubs, organizations, and residence halls. Programs presented by SWAT members will emphasize information given in exciting and fun ways and will involve participants in looking at their own lifestyle. That's why energetic and creative individuals are needed for this assignment. Wellness programs which will be presented include: exercise/Fitness, nutrition, sexpectations, stress, wellness, spirituality, relationships, emotions, hugs and eating disorders. Since SWAT duty can be somewhat hazardous, students selected for the SWAT team complete an application form and interview with the Wellness Coordinator. Also each member must complete an 18-hour training program. The program will provide them with the knowledge and tools needed to be a successful SWAT member. It is a grueling 18 hours of training starting April 11 and finishing April 16. On April 11, the training will be from 7-9:30 p.m., April 15, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and finally April 16, 1-5 p.m. We've got to make these ses­ sions tough! So there will be no water breaks, food breaks or bathroom breaks. If you think you qualify as a SWAT member you are encouraged to call the Wellness Office now. Students in all majors are encouraged to attend. What more could you want? Volunteer for SWAT! For informa­ tion call the Wellness Center at 262-3148. You thought your spring break was fun? Well.• • By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Mall Writer Hey, I know all of you are just so excited to read about how I spent my time during Spring Break, but it was a bit unusual. No, I couldn't just go to Florida and delve into pagan rituals for a week, I took the Old-andGreyhound Bus Line to visit some friends in Philadelphia. Calling me crazy is not calling me anything new, but I thought it best to see old friends than start some new dangerous liaisons down Daytona way. ASU fiction spotlight. FooVs Threshold By LEATHA E. FIELDS Appalachian Stall Writer FOOL'S THRESHOLD (installment #5) Robie breathed slowly, heavily. His pap looked him up and down with hard, cold eyes. "Well, you look pret­ ty good to me, although you do look like you could stand to put on a little bit of weight," Pap finally said, chewing his tobacco slowly, like a cow would mush its cud. "Ain't they feedin' you at that school you go to?" Gulping, Robie said, "Yes, Pap. I just don't seem to be putting on any more weight. I . . I have to walk to class pretty far every day. That gives me some exercise." He looked at Momma for support. "Maybe Mom­ ma can make me some good food while I'm home and put some weight on me." Momma smiled. "That's fer sure, honey," she smiled, patting his arm. Pap snorted his disapproval of this display of affection between mother and son. He stood up gruffly and moved to go inside. As he opened the screen door, he looked back briefly at his son. "All I know is, boy, you'd belter lose that accent you done picked up at that school. Folks around here don't cotton to people comin' here and talkin' like damn Yankees." He slammed the door behind liltn and Robie heard him stomping up the stairs to read his newspaper on the toilet. Robie looked at Momma and sighed. He could see that Pap hadn't changed. "Don't let him bother you none, doll baby. Pap's had a bad season so far. Things ain't goin' right with the tobacco nor out at the church. Just give him some space." Momma tried to comfort him. "Let's go on inside. You can unpack and I'll cook up some supper." She moved past him and up the stairs. l ater, as Robie took his undershirts and socks from his big suitcase and placed them carefully in his chest of drawers, he thought back to the way things had been when Robie was still in high school. He and Pap used lo work together in the fields, cropping tobacco. It was long, hot, sweaty work in the overhead sun, but Pap had convinced him that it was "man's work," an honorable thing to do with your progeny, something they could share when the woman in their lives wasn't around. Robie and Pap would exchange secret smiles over the big breakfast they would have at 5 a.m., when the dew still settled on the moist green grass and the cock throatily crowed his greeting to his hens. They knew that they would be doing "man's work" together until late in the afternoon, when they would col­ lapse by the edge of the rows and Pap would tell stories of being in the war overseas and show Robie the sear on his side where he had had an opera­ tion to remove a German's bullet. Pap would heat black coffee over a small fire he had made, and Robie would drink some, grimacing, to prove to his pap that he could handle it. That was before Robie applied for a scholarship to study Genetics at Princeton. He had never heard of Princeton until his high school guidance counselor called him into her tiny office one day and showed him a brochure about the science pro­ gram at Princeton, and talked to him about his success in science at Mournway High School, and how she knew he could go far if lie applied to go to this college in New Jersey. "I know you can succeed, Robie. You have something special that needs to be cultivated. All your teachers have spoken with me and told me that you're planning to go to Bristol Com­ munity College. Well, I think you can do better than that with that brain of yours. I even think that you can get a scholarship to go there if you apply now," she had said. So Robie did. He had received a full scholarship in order to prepare to be a geneticist. Momma had been thrilled, although she didn't fully understand what Robie was doing. She just knew it was something big, bigger than their small community had ever seen. Pap, on the other hand, seemed bitter. He had wanted Robie to continue to work in the tobacco business with him, to carry on the family tradition, as lie was the only son Pap had ever had, and probably ever would have. Mom­ ma was getting older. It was understood that Robie wouldn't do "man's work" with Pap again, except maybe a little in the summertime. Pap knew it. Robie knew it. Pap had always wanted the best for his son, but lie didn't think going to a "hoitytoity" fancy school in New Jersey was the way to go about it. He was very resistant to the idea. Since I killed a little time at the beginning of break in Chapel Hill, I caught my bus in Durham. Ihe hardest part about finding the bus sta­ tion there is that new bus stop in Tobaccotown is an old gas sta­ tion. . .no lie. Put some very uncom­ fortable plastic chairs in an old gas station and voila! introducing Durham's bus station. I only knew it was the bus station since the Old-andGreyhound was parked outside. The guys who checked in my bag told me to get on the bus still outside because it was leaving for Richmond any minute from then, but as I gave my ticket to the driver, he didn't give rne a smile and a "Hello," but a "Dam mit boy! This bus is going to Atlanta! Who the hell told you this was the bus to Philly?!?" All of this was nat urally done at the top of his lungs. Boy, it's courtesy like that which you just can't find when you fly these days. My bus eventually took off (I use that very figuratively) at 11:15, only a whop­ ping 45 minutes behind schedule. I encountered many different types of drivers on the way up and back, but there are three types that deserve the most recognition... 1. Mr. Chain Smokin' Speeder— There's nothing worse than the minute you start to fall asleep and some fiery glare comes out of nowhere only to end up at the end of the driver's cigarette. I believe the ghost of I ireball Roberts lives inside thfs cVriver becau sewe time driving into Richmond. 2. Mr. Bucket O' Bolts—Had him between D C. and Philly, "Gosh, if I hit 56, this thing will fall to pieces and so will I." He only does local routes because the second he hits interstate, he panics. 3. Mr. I Brake For No Man—Ibis guy tried to both jump over and eat cars that were in his way iather than get in the othei lane and pass them. Passengers love him because he tries to keep the schedule as closely as possible. Car dr ivers fear him because his only stops are at the bus stations. He even had his trophy from winning the last race in North Wilkesboro next to him. The bus I rode all the way up kept the schedule quite well, but all the local routes ran late and we had to wait for them. 1 he biggest wait was in Richmond. Just in case you ever need to kill time in Richmond terminal, here's some nifty ideas. 1. Try to break into the pay toilets without forking over the required dime. 2. Count how many pay phones really work. 3. Start an argument with the concession-stand lady over the reason the Baby Ruth bar costs 80 cents. Speaking of bus food, I went someplace where the prices were 1 worse. Go by CI em cure's Ca pit all t Cafeteria in State Road, Delaware sometime and check the specials like a milk and a pack of Hostess Cupcakes for $1.75. I'm glad I didn't get any more fine cuisine from there! Every bus has to have at least one Old Lady, and my treat was, as the bus left Washington I was sitting beside the woman with the Grand Canyon etched upon her face. She was a topographer's dream and a passenger's nightmare on her way to Atlairtic City to blow some of her Social Security checks. She got on the bus complaining about missing he 1:00 in the morning connector and took her gripes to other subjects as the bus went northeast to Philly. The poor woman was also paranoid about somebody dropping their shoulder bag low enough to decapitate her, but that didn't stop her from telling me what she didn't like about the Haidee's in the DX. terminal. She did take a 30-minute rest between Baltimore and D.C., yet she snored in my ear the whole time. I never knew such a little body could pioduce sucl volume. When she woke up, she look ed at the diiver (1 ype no. 2) and the: whispered in my ear, "I really don See B R E A K Page 6 Appalachian Pho*o by B R I N G I N G T H E I N S I D E OUT: II you can't make it out to the Parkway, East Beach, behind East Residence Hall, provides the perfect place to catch a H" tan between classes or on a sunny Saturday. I he r e cent warm weather in Boone has even brought the indoor furniture outside. �Continued from Page 5 think the driver knows what he's do­ ing." I didn't have the heart to tell her they could switch places if she really wanted it. Her little arms couldn't reach the sides of the wheel. That s about it for now. Stay tuned next week for part two of my excellent adventure. Before I close, here's some timely words from my favorite road­ side sign on the trip beside U.S. 40 somewhere in Maryland. "Jesus saves chickens by the case." That's something to live by, isn't it? So do I sound like I've had the greatest Spring Break ever? It only gets better and I've got all this space to use—better get your eyes fixed on this box right now because it's going to be packed. Enough hype...let's travel! When I left you last, the Old-andGreyhound was chugging down U.S. 40 towards Philadelphia. The Old Lady began her latest gripe about the bus schedules and I just sat next to her with a keen ear and a smile saying nothing but "Yup," "Sure," and "Uh-huh." There's nothing you can do with an O.L. but agree with her because the first inkling of dissenting opinion makes them very defensive. Besides, she was still scared a shoulder bag was going to take her head off. I decided to give her nervous system a break. State Road, Delaware is a town built around Clemente's Capitalist Cafeteria. Inside you get diluted food at inflated prices, so 1 tried to stay away just so my wallet wouldn't get thin. The bus driver gave us 20 minutes to hang around the place. Gosh, with time like that I could've walked to Wilmington, Delaware and found something decent. Instead, I killed my time just like I did in Rich­ mond counting the number of pay phones that worked and to my sur­ prise, 1 didn't even need to break into the restrooms because it was free. That was too much. I wouldn't recommend State Road as a vacation spot just because it has more phone booths than people. The bus left there ten minutes after it was supposed to, but in that time the Old Lady found something else to complain about for 15 minutes. The only cups out at the food line were coffee cups, so she grabbed one of those to get some lemonade. When she got to the cashier, the woman at the register sternly told her that coffee cups were for coffee only. When the Old Lady asked if she could switch Qups, the cashier would have nothing of it since the Old Lady had already made her purchase. At least that's how she told me how it went. I had no choice but to believe her. Later on down the road we hit our last stop before Philly, the town of Chester, Pennsylvania. Chester has such a beautiful bus terminal, it's boarded up so you can't see it from the outside. The door is also boarded up since you, as a passenger, are not worthy enough to enter. I guess you can tell I'm getting a wee bit sarcastic, eh? Finally we got to Philly about 90 minutes late and an icestorm greeted us as we got off the bus. The Old Lady started going hostile since she couldn't get to Atlantic City that day. I got tired of her and went my own way, thinking the trip couldn't get better. i neie are some great places to go in the city. Here's my list of cool spots: 1. South Street—All Dead Milkmen fans know the greatness of Skinz and Zipperhead, but my favorite place is Hats in the BelfrvN at the corner of 1989-1990 SGA Cabinet Applications South and 3rd. Another fun South Street excursion is a walk to the cor­ ner of South and 9th. From there look at the statue of William Penn above City Hall. I'll leave it to your imagina­ tion. 2. Geno's Steaks at 9th and Passyunk—Home of the original Cheese Steak Sandwich. You could paint a wall with the opaque orange hot sauce, but it burns! I was fooled the first time I had it. Hey, hockey fans. This is your place to swap stories. The managers of Geno's are also some of the greatest people in the world. I'll eat their melted provolones any day.

The question deserves spme attention. Recently, suddenly, a lot of people have Spontaneously arrived at the conclusion that The Appalachian is a grand embarrassment and that its diabolical and oversexed (hee-hee) staff is go­ ing straight to Hell. In a way this is a good thing, because it is a sign of (mental) life on a generally narcisstic, apathetic campus. Like the infamous Quentin Compson-gate last semester, these controversies provoke thought and discussion of issues which (like it or not) should be discussed. If you agree or disagree with 100 percent of The Appalachian's content 100 percent of the time, you are probably brain-dead. Avoiding controversy and believing everything your neighbor does (to keep from pissing people off) is pointless, if not suicidal, because many of these issues: politics, sex, money, religion, et. al. are already the source of problems in our society. The reasons? Well, (a) everyone has an opinion about these issues, (b) everyone believes that his/her opinion is The Right Opinion and (c) nobody really wants to talk about them. Fighting wars and making excuses (ie., immorality) on/for drugs, teen pregnancy, premarital sex, poverty, etc. is easy if these problems don't directly affect you, like, say politicians. Discussing them, looking for causes and fixing them isn't easy. Therefore, these problems will grow with our society (or until we get a political 'leader' with enough balls to take them on). If someone writes a metaphorical story about sex and the lack/inconvenience of open, honest com­ munication in relationships, the average reader won't read deeply enough to see the 4'metaphor." Who the hell reads between the lines these days? Nobody. So if the story makes a statement about "women's_ 'place' in relationships," the average reader will see . .Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex.

Dave Alston This would direct us toward two options. The best (and least likely to be implemented) in an academic course to be taught by a new professor from somewhere that hasn't ever heard of ASU in "Free Thought/Reading Between The Lines 101." Ooooo. How subversive. Fine young Southern ladies and gentlemen would innocently enter the class, and they would all emerge as Communist homosexuals (some­ one would probably acutally put forth this argu­ ment). Naaah. Actually, ideally, a student would enter the classroom. He (for the purpose of discus­ sion) would choose a seat on the first day of class. He would, over the semester, be taught to accept nothing blindly, to develop his own ideals and values, to conform to nothing not of his own choosings and/or define and defend his beliefs. He would be instructed (by example) to look upon his environ­ ment with critical interest. He would be taught to question, to learn and to think on his own. The overall theses of "Free Thought 101"?—-(1) Life is like a gigantic salad bar, arranged all nice and pretty by whatever creator you happen to believe in; the stuff on the 'salad bar' is the substance of your per­ sonality. Select wisely and carefully. And...(2) Life—pop culture—in any society should be taken with a grain of salt. Look at 'pop culture' with equal Why are we taught to be distrustful ? By MICHELLE MILLS Appalachian Columnist "I'm going for a walk." "Don't get lost." "Don't worry, 1 won't-." Ha. I confidently strode out of my un­ cle's house over Easter break and promptly got lost in Arab, Alabama, a quaint little town that has something against street signs. It took 20 minutes of denial and "Maybe it's around this corner..." before 1 got up the nerve to call and admit my mistake. But that is not what bothered me. What bothered me was all that making a call entailed. There was no pay phone around and I had to call from a house in a town 500 miles from my home. As a female I was supposed to be on my guard about any contact with strangers. When 1 made the call from a very nice gentleman's home he offered to take me back. Now, I knew this man nad no inten­ tion of hurting me. He was being polite and concerned for my welfare, since it was getting dark outside. But I ©198* , MCrtr felt I had to refuse because I have been raised to "never take rides with strangers." And if by chance anything had happened, people would read about it in the paper and say "Well, she should have known better. She was just asking for trouble, if you ask me..." CFNE IDEtJ-ncAiry l<0 I really hate not trusting people. But in our society that is a code we live by. Our parents drill into our heads, "don't talk to strangers" so much it has become a cliche. They say, "If anyone touches you in a place that makes you uncomfortable, don't be afraid to tell your parents." (Or a Christianity is o To the Editor: J- •7!§rggg SSsfZl society where every strange face is a threat and we are taught to not trust others for our own good. Unfor­ tunately, this mistrust is valid. Statistics attest to that. However, the mistrust we learn in childhood often extends into our per­ sonal relationships. I can't tell you how many times I have heard some­ one say, "You just can't trust people, or you get hurt." Once bitten, twice shy seems to be the rule. When you open up to people you are taking a chance. If they know you—your strengths and weaknesses, your hopes and fears, your dreams—they have information that could possibly be used against you. And some people do use what they know to hurt and humiliate others. But that is no excuse for restraining yourself to shallow, superficial rela­ tionships of little meaning or sinceri­ ty. When you are a child, being afraid to trust stangers is a regrettable necessity. But when it comes to rela­ tionships, trust is a necessary basis for one of quality and meaning. You may get hurt—you probably will a time or two—but that does not mean you should stop trying. There are people out there who recognize the value of a sincere friendship, and finding them is worth all the chances you have to take.

I've heard of several cases where lost children were too afraid of strangers to ask for help because they have been warned repeatedly at school and home about the "dangers of strangers." It is deplorable that we live in a When you are a child, being afraid to trust strangers is a regrettable necessity.

This will, hopefully, lead to the construction of your own opinions. Wow, like heavy mannn. Why won't we ever see "Free Thought 101" at ASU? Because we are all bright, eager young students eager to expend our horizons? Hmmm? Not by.a long shot. As the old saying goes, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Knowledge is subversive because it make demands—threatening demands—of the status quo which are disturbing to "the balance of things." If we all play student (administrator, legislator, whatever), and all behave as good little boys and girls should, we will all be tube fed our own per­ sonalized, individualized, computer generated Knowledgepaks. We shall all grow up, buy a twostory colonial, a BMW and a wagon, get a cocker spaniel and crank out 2.5 kids, assembly line style. We'll get old, have grandkids, buy a Winnebago, drive around Florida, vote occasionally and die. But if we think—that opens up a world of possibilities. All threatening. And do the people who control us (let's face it) really want to be threatened? Hell no. The other option out of the two is censorship. Just close the bugger down. There would be the obligatory protests, of course, but in the end, the People Who Matter (Inc.) wouldn't be all too upset. If students are a-drinkin' and fornicatin', preach to them. Put 'em on the Right Path. But if they start to develop independent thoughts.. .uh-oh. Yup, knowledge is dangerous and in the end it causes more problems than it solves. To question one's own values is to admit imprefection, and although none of us are perfect none of us really want to admit that fact, either. Just shut the rabblerousers up, an ya won't have to think about what ya don't want to. America will slowly become a society of closet cases. It is difficult to find a place to begin this letter considering the level of childishness, no—make that foolishness, recently achieved on this campus. I will address the most recent batch of hogwash, using The Appalachian (3/21/89) as a hogwash guide, if you will. I will address issues from the front of the paper to the back for the convenience of those who will undoubtedly find fault with and become disgruntled over this letter. As reported in The Appalachian in the article " The Appalachian Comes Under Fire," by Mark Williams, Chancellor John Thomas said, "We cannot censor it [7V/* Appalachian] but we can shut it down." That is childish. Childish in that it would be completely irrespon­ sible to shut down the only STU­ DENT newspaper without first of all sitting down with its staff and discussing the overall problem. Which is probably the very least Chancellor Thomas would do in the unlikely event of this paper being closed. The next article I will look at is my, hopefully, still friend Shelley Kaehr's commentary titled "Censor­ ship Threatens ASU Campus." I applaud Shelley's endorsement of higher spending for our literary magazine. This is something that is long overdue. Then she points out that the opinions of readers are pro­ tected by Fair Comment. This is fine, but in the same breath shouldn't this outstanding newspaper be protected by some amount of good taste and, let's face it, at least some maturity. Yes, it is a very mature thing to question beliefs.. .but it is also carrying things completely over the edge to begin to use the paper as a tabloid (coverage of SGA elections), and now as a hostile publication bent on self destruction. That last bite was directed at the completely idiodic article on the last page of the paper. My question to Mark Williams is 'So you call yourself a journalist?" The article by Williams entitled "So, You Call Yourselves Christians" is so incredibly fantastic I have a hard time commenting on it with a straight face. How can anyone even remotely involved with higher educa­ tion take an issue as broad as Chris­ tianity and attempt to make some sort of logical comment on It and Its followers in a four column, quarter page article. The history and theology involved with Christianity is so incredibly broad that scholars spend years studying it and then still wouldn't pretend to know as much as Williams obviously thinks he does. There are literally thousands of ways to interpret the pathetically few teachings which he refers to. Furthermore, being a user of words Williams should be aware that it is a given that through the evolution of society, and therefore languages and words, meanings change and are purposely altered. I am not so insecure as to take personal offense from Williams' arti­ cle and his irresponsible, unintelligi­ ble "Christian Bashing." My major disbelief is that he was so uncreative in his taunting of the Administration and that it was allowed. I began this piece referring to certain things as childish then changed to foolish. This article is the main reason—it is below childish. I have a four-yearold sister who, upon being told by an authority figure that if she spills something again she will be spanked, is not stupid enough to throw whatever it was she spilt in the per­ son's face. I agree that it would be foolish to close down the paper, but you've obviously, by now, heard the old saying 'fight foolishness with foolishness.' Williams has forced me to question only one belief and that is in the creativity and common sense of the average college student. Besides making a few people angry, and even more laugh and then consider regurgitating, all that this driveling has accomplished is some pretty negative publicity for a really good and undeserving Univer­ sity. Haven't we all (Administration, Faculty, The Appalachian, and most of all we the STUDENTs) allowed this bull to go far enough? This is a STUDENT publication, therefore a student responsibility and challenge. (I use the word challenge in favor of See LETTERS/CHRISTIANITY Page 8 ia-.i �THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDA Y, APRIL 4, 1989 Letters to the editor: Our readers respond Continued from Page 7 the word problem.) It is up to us to dictate what OUR paper prints. We do have a voice if we will only use it in a productive manner instead of using it to propagate the simplistic ignorance illustrated by such works as 4'So You Call Yourselves Chris­ tians.

Great—another parking ticket. parking, the upkeep of grounds, sidewalks, and to the survival of the Appalcart. Well, after soaking up all of this information, we took a good look around, and in all honestly, we could not see where improvements have been made. With this annual income, the students should have better parking conditions, as well as more parking lots. This spring, a small parking lot will appear at the old Doughtery House area, but this will not be am­ ple enough. A bill is also in the protress of being passed for a new park1 ing deck behind Justice Hall. This project will take almost two years to get off the ground, so what exactly are those of us who are here now supposed to do? We will keep pay­ ing thousands of dollars and will never see even a slab of concrete be­ ing put down. Students should also have the benefits of a night security system in the parking lots. This would enable people who go to their cars late at night to feel safer, and the night watch could also look out for any vandalism to the vehicles that are parked so far from campus. We do understand that when we park illegally we are in violation, but what we do not understand is why the system has not done something before now. The students need to see the improvements, not just hear about them. So far, we have seen nothing. A good example of the slackness of our Security would be our A parking lot. If a percentage of the money goes to the upkeep of the grounds and such, then why do we all have to dodge huge potholes in the entrance of A lot? It's definitely something to think about.

I am the director of Mountaineer Escort, and 1 fed that it has a lot to do with the figures cited by Mr. Boyer.

Not only are these tickets annoying, but have you ever tried to explain the extra $60 on your tuition bill to your parents? "Uh, Dad, I sorta like, well, I um, have gotten about four tickets this month." This is not a pretty scene. Last year, Security issued 20,000 of these tickets to students, totaling almost $400,000. Parking permits issued totaled almost $200,000 as well. As you can see, this is not just pocket change. Have you ever stop­ ped to ask yourself where all of this money is going? We did, so as "concerned students" of this cam­ pus, we decided to find out.

Although the permit system was ap­ proved, "normal" community ac­ tivities will not require a permit.

A $100 town has taken the position," Paletta said, "that parades, football games, items like that, are normal events in a community and they are not unreasonable and that these special events do not violate the noise or­ dinance." While the amendments passed, the council discussed them for over 30 minutes. "I do think that it would be a good idea to try something like this," Councilman Saul Chase said, "and in fact close to it, I'm not sug­ gesting wholesale changes." Chase suggested several changes in the proposed amendments. "If we make some of the changes that I have just suggested," he said, "I think there's a better chance that this per­ missive system will be accepted by the citizenry as a whole." Councilman James Marsh asked what would happen if someone ap­ plied for a permit while under a lease agreement specifying that no loud parties would take place. "The town ordinance would not supersede a private lease agreement," Paletta said. "That lease agreement would still be enforceable by the landlord." Tester was questioned as to how much authority the police department has on campus to regulate noise. He said the Boone Police have authority < on campus, but by mutual agreement with ASU Security, usqallfenter cam­ pus only to assist security. Greene said the Community Rela­ tions Board discussed the possibility of a decibel gun to be purchased by ASU for educational purposes. The proposed amendments passed unanimously except for Marsh. "I don't know whether I'm for them (the amendments) or against them," he said. "I guess 1 live too close to it (noise) to be fair. So I will exempt myself from voting." In a later interview, Greene said the Town Council was receptive to the ideas and he felt the meeting was pro­ ductive. A NEW PERMIT SYSTEM FOR PARTIES AND OTHER EVENTS: The Boone Town Council voted to approve amendments to the present noise ordinance that would allow permits for various Leadership conference held By APRIL GRIFFIN Appaliiohian Nlaff Writer "I see the reasoning for the ques­ tions asked," Greene said. "I think it helped the noise ordinance and it was good to air out those things." Greene said SGA's work on the noise ordinance was in response to a student outcry. "Unless other pro­ blems develop, you have a pretty solid ordinance now." Greene added that students now have some basis to fall back on in regard to the noise ordinance. A Greek leadership conference focusing on leadership training and group involvement was held on Satur­ day, March 18 in Plemmons Student Union with approximately 100 greeks in attendance. The purpose of the conference was to give greek students ideas on per­ sonal and chapter improvement. The program agenda was decided by the Greek Presidents Council who com­ piled a top twenty list of seminars leform efforts unsuccessful School reform efforts may be sputtering HPS)—Efforts to reform the lion's schools have been less than cessful, two unrelated reports ascd in recent weeks claim. The Center for Policy Research at Igers University, for one, found while teens are taking more fcmic courses to graduate, they're managing to avoid the challengtourses reformers envisioned. And according to the National tesmeni of Educational Progress AEP), students are acquiring basic owledge but few are learning to use 'ffectively in thinking and reasant The eight-year-old school reform Xement, in other words, seems to be sputtering a little. Since 1980, 45 states have made it harder for students to graduate from high school. But University of Wisconsin law Prof. William Clune, who worked on the Rutgers study, found that most of the new courses the slates now make students take to graduate are at the basic, general or remedial levels. Thai's not all bad, Clune says, but it's not enough. "Raising the (course load) minimums is the easiest, most conven­ tional thing to do," he said. To improve education for all students, Clune said, schools need to work on less visible reforms like ehanging the teaching emphasis from rote drills to thinking skills, for exam­ ple. "What's true is the requirements were relatively shallow," Clune said. "The reforms failed in getting students into the most rigorous possi­ ble courses. They used course labels—math, science—instead of course content in many instances, and they wanted to go quickly so they went to what they're used to offering these students, which is basic or remedial classes." According to the NAEP report, students getting the basic skills don't know what to do with them. "If one views this report as a events. The Student Government Association, Community Relations Board and Police Chief Zane Tester are among those who contributed to the amendments. balance sheet on 20 years of American education, our assets clearly include strengthening students' basic skills and improving minority student per­ formance," executive director of NAF-P project, the Nation's Report Card Archie Lapointe said. "On the liabilities side of/ the ledger, we find deficits in highoUftrder thinking skills, which mean thft large proportions of American students do not appear to be adequately prepared for college work, career mobility and thoughtful citizenship." Colleges, figuring high school reform would make students better prepared, have raised their admissions standards. democrats want national service program they felt would be beneficial. "The concept of the program was for everyone," Associate Director of Stu­ dent Development Dino DiBernardi said, "not just for leaders." Student Development Leadership Specialist Nancy Jones welcomed at­ tendees to a continential breakfast and brief orientation. Students had the option of attending four of the 16 sessions scheduled throughout the day. Topics included in the morning session were Parlimentary Procedure, Delegation How To's and Effective Committee Management. Past President of Delta Zeta sorori­ ty Louri Lynn Throgmorton and past President of Kappa Alpha fraternity Chris Rorhbach presented a seminar on "Campus Resources and Universi­ ty Services." They explained how to utilize campus media sources and take advantage of the postal service. Each student organization is entitled to one free campus mailing during the semester and one mailing each month to each of its members. Chairperson of the CMA depart­ ment and Kappa Alpha advisor Dr. Charles Porterfield presented a pro­ gram on effective communication skills. He said groups should make committees functional and utilize parlimentary procedure to make meetings run more smoothly. The General Session Keynote Ad­ dress was given by Student Programs Director Dave Robertson on "The Art of Motivation." He said leader­ leaders ended T-day conference in Philadelphia "ch 11 with a talk not about the the Middle East or the tenhouse effect but 'about college "dents. They want students to join the Wary or perform a community ser­ ein order to get financial aid in the "Ure, they said, he aid, in turn, would be rants—not loans—that, of course, '"'d not have to be repaid. And while the idea of swapping col'e grants for "national service" is 'old one, the number of plans now 0re Congress seems to have a "nce of passing this year, observers '• The prospect, moreover, scares st college groups. "Our group is 'Sed to any bill that would tie nalal service to financial aid," Janet rman of the U.S. Student iation said, which represents • as governments around the ntry in Washington, D.C. don't like it at all," Financial j!u Director at New Mexico 'Shlands University (NMHU) Jj'el Martinez said. I dtics worry campuses will become exclusive property of rich kids F^Use everyone else will be working °sPitals or in the armed forces to •honey for college. Yvette Torres of the National Education Association, the country's biggest teachers' union, charges the idea presents "serious obstacles to higher education" for middle- and lower-income students. But some collegians like NMHU student Suzy Chavez say they like the idea, and political leaders such as House Speaker Jim Wright, Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton and Democratic Committee Chairman Ron Brown, who promoted the idea in Philadelphia March 11, called it a great way to feed volunteers into the public sector while teaching students that democracy has a cost. Students also would graduate debtfree, the Democrats said in their twohour presentation. The most popular plan, sponsored by Senator Sam Nunn (D-Georgia) and Representative Dave McCurdy (D-Oklahoma), would end the ex­ isting financial aid system in favor of a "Citizen Corps." Students would perform at least one year of community service or enlist in the miliary for a minimum of two-years. They would earn vouchers of $12,000 for each year in the military and $10,000 for each year of community service, performed for $100 a week. The vouchers could be used to pay for college or a down payment on a house. Single parents and those older than age 26 most likely would receive federal aid without serving. A number of other options have been proposed, including one by Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-Maryland), in which students would do part-time volunteer work in exchange for federal financial aid. Congress also is weighing a bill that would expand existing volunteer op­ portunities and even make communi­ ty service compulsory, with holdouts paying an extra five percent annual income tax penalty. Perhaps because of Nunn's stature as chairman of the Armed Services Committee, the senator's plan has at­ tracted the most attention and may have the best chance of passing. And while many students and educators seem to like the principle of national service, they strongly object to the Nunn-McCurdy idea of tying it to financial aid, something more than one college administrator, including University of Georgia Financial Aid Director Jerry McTier, has called "in­ dentured servitude." "I don't want higher education to become elitist, but we're headed that way now," McTier warned. In re^ -nse to such criticism Nunn said last month, "I do not think it's penalizing anyone to give them a oneyear job experience, and to pay them, then to give them a $10,000 educa­ tional voucher which does not have to be repaid." Some believe the idea would be too expensive. The American Council on Educa­ tion estimated the Nunn-McCurdy plan would cost more than $50 billion a year, compared to the current federal student budget of $9 billion. A spokesowman from Nunn's of­ fice Jenny Jones acknowledged the senator is willing to work on a com­ promise solution, but he remains "wedded" to the idea of tying the proposal to financial aid. Jones also disputes the notion the idea would cost more money. "This is a deficit-neutral proposal," she said. Even so, NMHU's Chavez wondered if many students would find the economics of volunteer work practical, given that they still have to live while earning voucher credits. "Most people would not want to work for $100 a week," she said. The American Council on Educa­ tion (ACE) predicted many students who enlisted in the armed forces or for community work probably would never graduate. Robertson suggested a four-point plan to reach goal fulfillment. When an organization sets a goal a definite time frame should be set for its com­ pletion. Also, determine a measure­ ment of success and how feasible the plan is. Then, decide what is con­ sidered acceptable performance for your group. Topics in the afternoon session in­ cluded: alumni relations, rush clinics, hazing and time management skills. Dino DiBernardi presented a seminar on "Long Range Planning and Goal Setting." He explained that planning is important because the group can develop responses to events that might effect them. Planning minimizes uncertainty and maximizes the success of the organization. Sigma Phi Epsilon Director Glenn MacEachern gave a closing session on "Risk Management." The conference was self funded by individual greek organizations and chapters paid a fee for each delegate. This was the first greek leadership conference on the ASU campus in six years. "This is part of our larger leadership program," DiBernardi said. "I consider this part of the B.U.I.L.D. workshops."

But no one at the other campuses recalled any special problems at the concerts. When, EPMD, Boogie Down Pro­ ductions and three other groups Played to 3,000 people at the Univer­ sity ot Maryland's homecoming celebration, the school's campus pro­ ductions adviser Gretchen Metzalaar said, one person was thrown out for brandishing a knife, and two aban­ doned cars turned up the next morn'ng at the front door of the concert venue. Metzalaar "minor." termed the incidents "Even in a concert with 500 people, no matter what kind of concert—even Johnny Mathis—you'll have a few in­ cidents," she said. UNC-Wilmington promoter John Freer thought UNC-W confused the Maryland rap concerts with the Maryland go-go event, although "that's like comparing heavy metal to classical music." Boogie Down Productions' Oc­ tober concert at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, another campus named in the report, went off without a hitch, production manager of the Union Program Council Ari Weinstein said. Metal detectors at the doors reveal "nothing but keys," Weinstein said. By contrast, several weapons were confiscated at a recent UMass Warren Zevon concert. Zevon is a relatively mellow performer. Besides, Boogie Down Produc­ tions' lyrics are all about nonviolence, Weitzman said. "They just have a strong concern for their patrons." At Fayetteville State University in North Carolina, EPMD played at an off-campus auditorium to a largely student crowd. Metal detectors were not used and there were no security problems, contrary to the UNC-W report. "1 don't know where they got that," the concert promoter Robert Smith said. No one from Eric Hennings Pro­ ductions, the rap groups' promoter, could be reached for comment. Student dies near Howard's Knob By JENELLE AUTRY Assistant News Kditor ASU Senior Timothy S.

But even before Winfrey divulged the cause of her weight loss, fasting had become big business. Along with Optifast, Medifast, Ultra Slim-Fast, and a fasting program called HMR, had all sprung up. Of the four, Op­ tifast has remained the most suc­ cessful fast seller. More than 300,000 4 f T' Or people have gone through the pro­ gram since it came into being in 1976. At a cost of about $2500 per patient for the 26-week regimen, that's now small change. Fasts are appropriate for just a small percentage of overweight peo­ ple. In fact, only severely overweight individuals who are at least 50 pounds or 30 percent above "reference" weight (about 9 percent of the popula­ tion) are allowed to enroll in an Op­ tifast program. The Optifast plan contains high- cording to George Blackburn, MD, PhD, chief of the Nutrition/ Metabolism Laboratory at the New England Deaconess Hospital in Boston, who acts as a consultant to Winfrey's show on issues of obesity and health. "The body can't shrink its fat cells and readjust its metabolism that fast," he explains. "People who lose 25 pounds and keep it off for a year and then go on to lose another 25 pounds have a much better chance of keeping off 40 to 50 pounds of excess weight." Another consideration is the fact that everyone's body reacts in a uni­ que fashion. That is, some people lose more lean muscle tissue than others during a particular fast even though the goal is to lose as much'fat as possi­ ble and to "spare" muscle. "Having one formula for all people is not sen­ sitive to the different rates at which individuals lose lean body mass," Dr. Blackburn explains. "The question," he says, "is what's the optimal Op­ tifast? What's optimal for one person may not be optimal for the next." In the future, Optifast may be tailormade for individuals, he adds. But in the meantime, it's generally one size fits all, so to speak. An additional concern with Op­ tifast is that it lowers the body's metabolism because it severely restricts calories. A low metabolic rate slows the rate at which the body utilizes calories which can result in very slow weight loss or none at all. The more you go off and on diets, particularly those that severly lower caloric intake, the more out of balance your metabolism becomes. This is what produces the "yo-yo" syndrome.

Whether they keep the weight off is another matter, however, related both to the degree of patient attendance and com­ pliance with Optifast's behavior and exercise maintenance program.

LINEBACK Special lo The Appalachian A recent North Carolina newspaper article was titled "Pickle People Seek Cool Couple to Wed." Organizers of the Mount Olive Pickle Festival are seeking a couple willing to marry before the thousands of attendees celebrating the pickle industry, ap­ parently as part of a publicity effort. The geography of this industry makes as interesting story and only goes to show that nearly anything can be bet­ ter understood if analyzed geographically. Pickles are cucumbers in disguise. The cucumber is a climbing plant of the gourd family that yields a fleshy elongated fruit. Usually from one to 30 inches (2.5 to 76 cm) in length, cucumbers may be eaten pickled or raw on salads or sandwiches. Cucumber plants consume an enor­ mous amount of garden space, a fact that comes as a rude surprise to uninitiated suburban gardeners. But it does produce a great volume of fruit, thus making only a few plants suffi­ cient for most gardens. The cucumber has little food value, making it a favorite of dieters. The cucumber was first cultivated about 3,000 years ago in South Asia, probably in India or Malaysia. From there it was carried to China about 2,000 years ago, to the Middle East soon thereafter, and to Europe around A.D. 1000. Today it is grown in all of the world's tropical and mid­ dle latitude climates. Although cucumbers are grown in most gardens in the U.S., the pickle industry demands large acreages of commercially produced cucumbers. The latest data indicate that 113,849 acres (46,108 hectares) of cucumbers were harvested in 1982, The top 10 states in order of production were Michigan, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, California, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Wisconsin and Ohio. The cucumber plant grows best in areas with warm, wet summers, such as the eastern half of the coun­ try. In North Carolina, commercial acreage is almost entirely on the Coastal Plain east ofj^taleigh. Samp­ son and Nash counties ranked second and fourth nationally in total com­ mercial acreage of cucumbers. Samp­ son County, for example, harvested 4,349 seres (1,761 hectares). Most commercially grown cucumbers are used by the pickle in­ dustry. People who ask which came first, the chicken or the egg, could ask the same question about cucumbers and pickles. Certainly, the pickle in­ dustry in most locations developed from home canning that slowly evolved into a commercial operation. As markets developed for particular pickles, the pickle company increased its demand for cucumbers. Since the markets for individual brands of pickles developed locally, most com­ panies today have fairly regionalized markets. The locations of pickle manufacturers, therefore, are pulled by the locations of their individual markets and their sources of cucumbers. Cucumber pickles come in a host of varieties including bread-and-butter, spiced, mustard, dill, icicle and sweet. Overseas employment opportunities More than 6,000 college students are expected to head overseas this summer for temporary jobs in Lon­ don bookshops, New Zealand kiwi groves, Parisian bakeries and Black Forest resorts, according to the Coun­ cil on International Educational Ex­ change (CIEE), now in the 20th year of conducting its Work Abroad pro­ gram. "What makes working abroad so popular is not just the job one finds but the chance to be more than a tourist by taking part in the daily life of a country," Program Coordinator Sarah Grossi said. Participants bypass the usual ad­ ministrative process for work permits to work on a temporary basis in France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Costa Rica, New Zealand, the Federal Republic of Germany and Jamaica. In each country, a national student organization helps U.S. students find jobs and lodgings. Last year 5,500 students from more than 1,000 U.S. colleges took part in the program and, on average, found a job in three days. Great Britain remains the over­ whelmingly favorite destination for American students, who are welcom­ ed workers in London pubs, shops and offices from Laura Ashley to the Hard Rock Cafe as well as in the farmlands and resorts of the coun­ tryside. "It's almost impossible not to find work in London," Boston Col­ lege student Kelly Clifford said. While most students obtain The pickling process begins with whole or cut cucumbers which are processed in a salt brine. Later, they are canned or stored in vinegar with a variety of other spices and flavorings. Home pickling of cucumbers is still a popular activity in the countryside, as witnessed by the many varieties displayed at county fairs, church bazaars and roadside vendors. Cucumbers are seldom transported far from the field to the factory because they must be processed quick­ ly. Small, tender cucumbers, often called gherkins, should arrive at the pickle factory within hours of being picked. Such cucumbers make crisp, tasty pickles and the process demands the pickle factory be close at hand. In North Carolina alone, the pickle industy paid $9.3 million in wages in 1982, plus $25 million for cucumbers, salt, vinegar and other materials. Mt. Olive, located just south of Goldsboro, is perhaps the best known location of the pickle industry because of the company by the same name. Cates is another famous pickle company located in nearby Faison. Several other smaller companies are scattered across the Coastal Plain. The industry is big business and growing in Eastern North Carolina. Surely there's a cool couple willing to start their marriage in a pickle. And that is Geography in the News.

Lighthawk protests clearcutting A new species of hawk soars over western North Carolina this weekend preying not on animals but on the hundreds of clearcuts dotting the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests. This hawk is a Cessna 185 Skywagon used by bush pilots the world over. It is piloted by Ed Coffman of Carrboro, a commercially licensed pilot who is volunteering his plane and time to a unique environmental air force called Project Lighthawk. He is working with the Western North Carolina Alliance in that group's 'Cut the Clearcutting Campaign' directed toward reducing the amount of clearcutting in the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests. Clearcutting is the controversial timber harvest technique in which all trees and vegetation are cut down. The U.S. Forest Service claims that clearcutting is more efficient and regenerates certain hardwoods better. The WNC Alliance claims that other harvest methods are available which ate equally beneficial but do not negatively impact scenic beauty, wildlife habitat, recreation, and other uses of the forest. "With Lighthawk's aerial perspec­ tive, we will photograph the clearcuts and let the people of western North Carolina see just what is happening to their beloved National Forests," Alliance Coordinator Mary Kelly said. Founded in 1980 by Michael Stewart, Project Lighthawk is a non­ profit flying service based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Featured recently in Time magazine and on the NftC Ruggles of Bakersville reports that Nightly News, Project Lighthawk is "people are getting in their cars and credited with exposing over-cutting of driving down to the stores where we old growth timber in western forests are petitioning just to sign it.

Julie Cortina, a student at the Culinary Institute of America, worked as an assistant chef at a hotel in London. "The experience offered me an understanding of a variety of cuisines, and with so many of the cooks being French, it was like being in France, too." University of Pennsylvania student Jody Shapiro, who was a word pro­ cessor in Scotland, earlier had lived in Edinburgh as a student. "As a regular member of the workforce, as last I got to know Scots of various ages and in­ terests," Shapiro said. "Now I really feel like I've lived in Scotland instead of just in a Scottish university." In addition to earning enough money to support themselves, par­ ticipants gain a special confidence from the experience. "I remember how scared I was, wondering where I was going to stay and how I was going to support myself," said University of New Hampshire student Laurie White, who worked at a restaurant in Paris. "Even though it was challeng­ ing and a bit frustrating, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I gained a new confidence in myself and my own potential."

Cliff Poole, president of Playcrafters, feels that the New Playwrights Festival gives students a chance to take hold of a theatre pro­ duction: "It allows for student writing, directing and acting and also for student participation in the technical realm of production." The first of the three one-act plays which will comprise this year's festival is The Instigators, written by Denise Lindsay and directed by Cliff Poole. Poole is a senior double majoring in theatre arts and criminal justice and is a member of Alpha Psi Omega and president of Playcrafters. He directed last fall's Alpha Psi Omega produc­ tion of Fools. Poole also directed Indigestion in last years Playwright's Festival. The Instigators is one of the final meetings of a group of Americans chosen to survive the destruction of the Earth along with others whom they will pick. Professor Thomas, portrayed by Jason Stewart, along with a somewhat panicked Tim Heath, played by Andrew Lakin, meet at the home of Mark Alexander, played by Ian McAlexander, to discuss the people they have chosen and the dilemmas which plague them. portrayed by Scott Townsend, ap­ pears. She is able to find an inner | strength which allows her to realize I her life is in good hands. Mark Blackmon's College Bop is the final play of the evening. The play ! is directed by Laura Lee Everett, a senior majoring in music management and promotions. Everett is a member of Alpha Psi Omega and is active in many facets of the University Theatre. She was stage manager for this spring's production of Once Upon A Mattress and appeared in last fall's production of Fools. College Bop is a comedy about surviving the college experience. Charley Belcher portrays Jack Broderick, who went to college to get an education and ends up dealing with the ghosts of dead actors, neurotic roomates, post-sixties hippies, and his girlfriend Margo, played by Karen Taylor, who wants to be the next Julie Andrews. His life is further complicated by his job at the campus radio station and the appearance of Margo's somewhat overbearing mother, played by Karen Duckett, and his former drugged-out roommate Eleanor, played by Michelle Poole. Jack finds that life itself can be more of an education than any course offered in college. Also appearing in the production is Scott Mical.

Kennay and Ronnay make up the rhythm section that rumbles and tumbles with the best of them. No Reason Why has come a long way, baby, since playing on top of Subway last spring. A band that has seen many springs (and drummers) come and go is Discord. Having seen Discord for the first time in ye Olde Town Pub in Hickory some three years ago, I can testify for the band's perseverance. Suprisimo number two, Discord's minimal version of Ice T's summer of '88 smash "Colors." Discord's experience shined on their vocals, especially on the song about greed and when Benjamin sings some du francais.

When I went on stage that first time, I started making up lyrics. The Play guys thought I was weird. But then it all just came out. I've always liked words. I d write little things on pieces ot paper and put them in drawers. Strange thoughts would run through my head. So I started putting them in songs and brought them to the band," Brickell said. The band s music changed immediately and so did the personnel. Only bassist Brad Houser remains today from the original aggregation.

The individual players were very good actors, par­ ticularly Lee Ann Givens as the nasty Queen Aggravine, Nicole Walsh as Princess Winnifred, and Cliff Poole as the court Wizard. Of special note were Jakie Cabe and Vance Weather- ly as the Court Jester and King Sextimus, respectively, and probably the best voice of the cast was owned by James Bumgardner, who played Sir Harry, a knight in service to the king and queen. No one is ready to take Broadway by storm, but they met and surpassed ASU standards. Overall, Once Upon A Mattress pretty much resembled most of the other musicals I've seen in Chapell Wilson. Let's hope the new renova­ tions, when completed, provide a lit­ tle better environment (a pit for the orchestra—what a novel idea!) and better acoustics, so the audience can better understand the words and appreciate the voices.

After finishing defensively with a double play, ASU's offense rolled with as much intensity. Asheville pitchers had a hard time not only finding the strike zone but the catch­ er s glove, also. A wild pitch, passed ball and four walks left ASU with many scoring opportunities. First Baseman Brad Neithamer contributed with an RBI single, but the big bat was in the hands of Tony McCabe as he laced a three-run single capping a solid four-run inning. Appalachian had another bases loaded situation in the fifth, of which two runners scored on a single by Gary Chandler, but UNC-A pitcher Chris Davis put an end to a potential­ ly terrible inning for the Bulldogs as he struck out Garrett Hinshaw.

The Mounaineers opened up with a 5-0 lead but a late charge by Asheville helped by a not-so-great day for ASU pitchus led to the close, come-frombehind victory. ASU s Adam Lazarus started on the mound pitching two innings of shutout ball. He gave up only one hit, but also gave away three bases on walks. The Mountaineer offense remained steady, hitting nothing but singles and doubles, but with runners m scoring position, ASU could not always convert. Garrett Hinshaw, left fielder and one of ASU's most pro­ ductive hitters, was fooled con­ tinuously by UNC-A pitching and struck out his lirst three times at bat. barking with back to back doubles, and then an RBI single led to their second run of the inning. ASU pitch­ ing delivered with a bases loaded situation and one out as the inning ended with a strikeout and then a forceout at first by Brad Nielhamer. After a 1-2-3 ASU turn at bat, Asheville continued their late charge, beginning with a towering solo homer that even made the old lady with the cup speechless. The shot flew over Rivers Street and measured around 450 feet. Appalachian was up by one run and had two men out, then the Bulldogs stroked a two-run double to take the lead for the first time in the game. ASU tied it in the bottom with a sacrifice fly, but runners at first and second were stranded as the game moved into extra innings. ASU was blessed in the eighth when a batter was hit by a wild UNC-A pitch with bases loaded to bring a strange victory to the now 13-4 Moutaineers.

Spring practice began this week with afternoon workouts in full gear. Moore who replaced Sparky Woods as the head football coach earlier this month is looking forward to the season. The team is working hard to try and understand Moore's new system as well as to impress the new coach. Spring practice will conclude with the annual inter-squad scrimage. Hi Everyone. 1 hope you enjoyed predicting who would make the Final Four. We will look at all the entries and find out who did the best at pick­ ing the winners in the next issue. This week's question is another col­ lege basketball question. Who won this year's Naismith Award? That's the question. Hopefully all of you have been paying close atten­ tion to Brent Musberger because he tells you the answer almost every time this person steps to the free throw line. This player's team is also par­ ticipating in the Final Four. That should be enough hints. If you have the right answer, or even a good guess, send it to The Ap­ palachian in care of the sports depart­ ment, ASU Box 9025, or drop it in the box located in the lobby of Workman Hall. If you are the lucky winner you will receive a $10 gift certificate from Mountaineer Mania located on King Street in Boone.

MARCH 30, 1089 Rose WOKS CX-PKESS Continued from Page 9 Bowie Kuhn suspended Mantle from baseball after he was hired by a casino in New Jersey. The dif­ ference is Mantle had already been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and his membership wasn't taken away during his suspension. Mantle was reinstated into baseball when Ueberoth became commissioner. The question arises—have baseball players always been this apt to get in trouble or is it just now becoming a problem? The answer is clear. Baseball has always had bad apples in the bunch that cause teams to perform poorly. For exam­ ple Leo Durocher, former manager of the Dodgers and the Giants, had an alcoholism problem and he loved to spend his time at the tracks bet­ ting on races. There are other examples to show that this problem hasn't just popped up; it's been around for quite a long time. The difference today is the media coverage of the game is much more aggressive. The media in America has moved more toward sensa­ tionalism in journalism and concen­ trates less on what actually happens on the field. Baseball needs more players and coaches that resist such negative journalistic tactics by living better lives than the general public. Sports figures have become public figures, and they have a higher responsibili­ ty to maintain a life that others can look up to. Players like Dale Murphy and Orel Hershiser are good examples of players who make it impossible for the press to dig up any dirt on them. As fans of the game, it is important to remember that the players are humans just as we are. As Christ said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

The new ordinance will permit responsible students to have permit resp. asonably loud parties without the risk of a $100 fine, people anticipating loud gatherings are asked to apply for a nartv Jfrmit 4 8 h o u ^ s P n o r tothe event. By simply paying a small $15 fee jd a security deposit ol $100, students may allow noise levels to reach height of 85 decibels on the weekends. The utilization ol the decibel system is outstanding in that it is fair ad accurate. The previous system allowed too much individual judgepi on the part of Boone police officers. What may be considered iiud to one officer may not be loud to another. Students should be warned, however, that if a permit is not (iiained, the police have the right to issue fines without warning to iJividuals making excessive noise. Also, those individuals with per­ ms are at no time allowed to exceed certain decibel readings, and if be regulations are not adhered to, violators will not be issued their leposit fee after the event. The Boone Town Council has made an effort to meet the needs of Is students in a reasonable manner. Now, the success of the new olicies depends solely on student cooperation. Students should make keffort to abide by these new regulations by obtaining permits before artying. Our Student Government Association should be commended for leir efforts on this project. Through SGA persistence on this topic, a sasonable and responsible solution has been developed for a pressing toblem which will hopefully strengthen relations between the students fASU and the Boone community as a whole. fame majors overlooked The ASU Career Planning and Employment office has provided an valuable resource to students through the numerous interviewing iportunities available on campus. Several major national corporains visit the ASU campus and recruit new employees. While it is refreshing to know that so many employers directly seek aduates of Appalachian, it seems that one group is singled out for cse positions—our business majors. A mind is a terrible thing to use "As I walked back from Chapell Wilson Hall this past Tuesday night after the Amnesty International meeting, two armed soldiers stopped their jeep next to me as 1 walked through the Whitener Hall lot. Like they were robots, one beat me across the back of my head with the butt of his Uzi and the other tied my arms behind me as I fell. The pain of the assault and battery quickly turned into the serenity and quiet of unconsciousness. The last thing I heard was the jeep screeching its tires. God knows what day it was when 1 awoke. I ligured I was in a remote section of the mountains, but not too much of a view can be seen through one square foot hole, five feet above my head, providing the only light in the room. My head still hurt from the blow and as 1 looked at my body, I saw it had been completely striped of clothing except for my underwear. My skin was covered with scrapes and abrasions. Apparently some soldier had a fine time dragging my corpse-to-be into its final resting place. Dinner was always punctual at sundown, even if it did consist of a cup of something that sntelled like urine along with meat even a dog would refuse. Hell, I even got a dessert once a week.. a rotten apple core. For months, the routine was the same. My wakeup calls were loud shrieks of pain as the others in the prision received large jolts of electric shocks. I'd have my turn after them. Some guy I couldn't see told me every day 'You'll talk, traitor. You'll talk' but I was too busy screaming to talk! I wanted my life to end there and then, because all I believed I could look forward to as long as I lived was the tor­ ture and the anguish. Sometimes I thought about what I learned in the Declaration of Independence about how all men are created equal. That is so true. All men have the right to be detained by their leaders because of their beliefs. All men are created equally to be tortured equally. All men have the right to never be told why they are in the prisons anyway. All men are created equally to be destroyed equally. I still want to be a teacher. I want to tell my students that the United States is a beautiful country lull ol spacious skies and amber waves of grain. I'd like to believe God sheds His grace on us equally and crowns us with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. Teaching is so much of a dream, but first I need to get past the door of my cell into the land that doesn't know what terror really exists. The powerful maintain peace, but their peace alone. Also, 1 miss my parents and my sister. They have to live their lives fearing for the worst now. My mum and dad don't have a son that's dead, he's just disappeared, and that sounds so much worse. I also pray to God for the safety of the writers of The Appalachian.

I feel sorry for the ones who must be sheltered in wicked ideology. The mind and the heart rule the body—never the brain and the trigger Finger. Some people don't want to believe that. I suppose that's why I'm here." I'm not looking to scare you or drive you into tears. Actually, 1 want you to do two things right now that don't take much time to do at all. The First thing I ask of you is to please attend the next meeting of ASU's new and improved Amnesty International chapter. They meet every Tuesday night at 7:00 in Room 210 of Chapell Wilson Hall. The second piece of action requires money. Oh, it's a bunch, too. A whopping great 25 cents for a tiny stamp. Use that stamp on a letter to Amnesty International, 322 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10001 and ask for more information about how you can help. One person can only do so much, but' Amnesty is a body of thousands. Results happen. Oh yeah, one more thing I want you to do right now is stop and think about your freedom. As Americans, we are given such opportunity and so many paths to choose our direction. God knows it's hard, but we also try our best to respect the beliefs of others. The greatest freedom we have is to believe and because of what we believe, we can do positive things. To have freedom is to have the ability to give it to others. That same freedom we love can be taken away with no prior notice. I should know because I possess the deadliest weapon usable against popular indifference. . .a pen and the ideas that make that pen move. Make your ideas make your pen move just so you can help give the gift of freedom. ©1968 MfiTT You'll soon learn that if you write what you want to you'll either get fired, ostracize yourself from the real world or get rich and famous— or maybe all three. Dr. Tyrie says, "They're pretty lousy articles." — Stand tall Ms. Kaehr, or you'll lose your integrity. Who's this Ronzheimer putz, and where was he when the religious cult members with The Way International snapped up an ASU coed in a dorm TV room? If there were journalism students in real journalism classes in a real journalism department at ASU, maybe there would be some kind of ersatz forgiveness and redemption for journalistic freedom and the flexing of mind muscles. One piece of advice: Don't pick on Christians. The can't help their Victorian impulses; anyway this whole condom issue is nothing to sneeze at.. .just remind them that you can't get the virus from sneez­ ing. Kill the poor? What the hell, this has been the policy of the Reagan Administration for the past eight damn years! Now, as for a woman "faking enjoymen during sex with her boyfriend" fot "the three-minute cure for insomnia at night," now what's so offensive about this, and if the ASU administration can't keep it out of the publication why don't officials learn to blush gracefully? It's hard to offend me, but if you do, I'm sure I deserve it and will learn from the experience. But when you start calling my col­ lege newspaper a "bookstore tabloid," that's offensive to me, buddy. Appalachian State University is a fine school, and it's got a great newpaper. That's straight from a former reporter at the Watauga Democrat, former copy editor and writer for the Hickory Daily Record, former copy editor for the Wilm­ ington Star-,\'e*vs and former managing editor of The Clayton Sews. Just remember: provocative journalism is risky but necessary. Tim Bullard 301 Pecan Lane Laurinburg, N.C. 28352 Censorship is too great a threat to be taken lightly To the Editor In response to the Charlotte Observer article of 21 March ("Ap­ palachian State Newspaper Provokes Anger"): while I imagine there are few readers of The Appalachian who have not been offended or outraged or exasperated by some of the ar­ ticles that have appeared during the past year, I do think it important that we stand (as Carl- Tyrie is quoted as saying) on "our First Amendment soapbox." I find even the vaguest threat to close down the newspaper much more disturbing than anything I have read in the paper. And if, again in the words of Professor Tyrie, the students are "kind of flexing their First Amendment-protected journalistic muscles," that, it would seem to me, is one of the learning experiences associated with student newspapers. Agreed, they should not indulge in sensationalism for sensationalism's sake, they should report fairly and carefully, and they should correct any mistakes that may have been made in earlier stories. But The Ap­ palachian is not an appendage of the News Bureau, should not be bound by PR requirments, and in fact has a responsibility to address those issues which concern the university for good or ill. Reporters and col­ umnists for the newspaper this year have certainly tested the boundaries of fairness and good taste, but to dismiss them as "tabloid journalists" or "little kids when they first learn swear words" is, I feel, both condescending to the writers and oblivious to the (I think) serious impulses behind their work. Edwin Arnold Professor of English The Appalachian tion between exposure of certain material to children as opposed to adults, etc. Therefore, I do not see freedom of expression as absolute. On the other hand, I continue to be very concerned about the potential for the abnegation of first amend­ ment rights in the name of religiousity, whether sincere or kneejerk. The Appalachian seems to do a generally good job in balancing the amount of material published which expresses divergent perspectives. I hope this does not change as a result of injecting "pornography" as an issue. 1 believe that mature college students are capable of handling the themes that 1 have seen presented. Eric J. Hatch, D.Ed Professor of Psychology Protect our environment. stop the clearcutting To the Editor: The Western North Carolina Alliance's "Cut the Clearcutting" campaign is going extremely well. Volunteers have been petitioning in their local communities throughout Western North Carolina. These volunteers cannot possibly reach all those persons eager to sign the "Cut the Clearcutting" petition. get a pretty good sense of what is happening in it. Despite losing millions of dollars on timber sales in our region, the USFS is planning to clearcut 4000 (four thousand) acres or more on Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests each year through 1995. Please help us preserve the National Forests and its valuable resources for future generations to enjoy and use. Alternative harvest methods have much less negative impact on the en­ vironment and its resources, wildlife habitats, recreation use, the beauty of our forests, and our taxes!! The "Christianity issue" never seems to wane for very long and as of late charges of pornography have also become a theme. On Saturday, April 15, a "Cut the Clearcutting" Day Rally will be held from 11 a.m. to I p.m. at the CityCounty Plaza in Asheville. The quality of the letters vary, but I am very happy they are all printed and that people have a continuing forum to express whatever views they wish to express. I think this is healthy, proper, and a first amend­ ment right. There will be speakers from many conservation organizations, moun­ tain music by Betty Smith, Don Pedi, and more, and a parade through town.

University of North Carolina Board of Governors Offices and in the North Carolina Legislature. Thomas stressed that this did not reflect well on ASU during a period when requests for faculty and staff pay increases (which he feels are imperative) are being made. "For the first time since any one can remember, The Appalachian has spoken out against the problems in the administra­ tion and because of that, and because of our recent endorsement of a Student Govern­ ment Association presidential candidate, I feel that the Administration and SGA are trying to find fault in The Appalachian any way they can," Kaehr said. Thomas stated that these articles are seen to be an embarrassment to the faculty, staff and students of ASU. Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Development Barbara Daye attended the Trustee's meeting and in a later interview expressed her concerns. "1 don't think it's fair to single out one article," Daye said. "I think they just hap­ pened to be the two in that one edition of the paper that had created so much furor. But you know that there have been articles in the past that have created some prob­ lems." "It's really not looking at two articles. It's looking at the paper, the product. What does it say about Appalachian State Univer­ sity? Is it a fair representation?" Daye said. ^ocording ^ t° Chancellor John Thomas, ASU s Administration cannot censor the student newspaper but said that they can cease its publication. He added this alter­ native would mean having no student newspaper at ASU. We cannot censor it, but we can shut it down," Thomas said. In a later interview, Editor-in-Chief Shelley A. Kaehr of The Appalachian expressed her concren. 'Chancellor Thomas' proposal to shut down the paper would be the ultimate form of censorship," Kaehr said. Kaehr said that she was surprised by the Administration's move last Thursday, because this was the first official administrative input she has heard during her two and a half semesters as editor of The Appalachian.

Kaehr said she was concerned about the intregity of the paper and that is why articles which appear in The Appalachian are read and edited for content. "Each of the articles published in The Appalachian have had a reason for being there and was done so in a legal, ethical New River collects through By JON JIM1SON Appalachian News Editor If students are delinquent in paying their New River Light and Power Company bills, they might see it reflected on their university account, according to Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette. "I can understand why that is a bit of a rub with students," Trivette said. "But I think if they understand where we're com­ ing from, they'll understand better why." According to Trivette, this collection policy was implemented on recommenda­ tion of the State Auditors. In a written "Disposition of Minor Audit Findings," the State Auditors said, "We noted that New River Light and Power is not included on the check off list for graduating seniors. Many students live offcampus and would be a NRL&P Co. customer." "Since the university is the sole owner of NRL&P Co., any revenue lost from uncollectible bills would directly affect the university," the report said. "We recommend that the university con­ sider starting NRL&P Co. on the check-off list for graduating seniors in order to avoid outstanding debts at the power company," the report concluded. Although the disposition recommended this type of collection only for graduating seniors, Associate Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Lynn E. Holaday said it now applies to all students. "That way it just gives us the leverage to collect that debt for New River Light and Power Company if they don't," Holaday said. Trivette said the recommendation was questioned. "And we questioned it; we said they're not going to understand. It's going to create some ill will, but then being auditors looking over here at accounts receivable and looking up here at a mechanism to collect those accounts at New River they said this is the way to do it." According to Trivette, this policy makes it easier for the university to collect delin­ quent accounts. "The most significant thing is that we have in place the system, the cashier's office does, that prohibits a stu­ dent from re-registering if they've got an old balance where New River obviously is not tied into that." "It was just an auditor's way of saying 'here is a fool-proof way to collect those accounts'," Trivette said. Trivette said the decision to collect accounts in this manner did not have to be approved by the ASU Board of Trustees. "I guess you could say then that the Business Affairs Office, the office responsi­ ble for the fiscal affairs of the university through its internal audit office, instructed this to be done," Trivette said. "A suggestion like that is a good manage­ ment tool," Holaday said. "What they recommend is a good management pro­ cedure for the university as a whole." According to Holaday, Sharon Fairweather, of NRL&P Co., informed some students of this change in collection procedures. According to Fairweather, flyers will be placed in all university mailboxes, coupled with a news release, to inform students of this policy. According the Trivette, there are some students who might not have been informed. "It might be one of those cases where we get so busy in our daily activities until we didn't appropriately inform the whole campus," Trivette said. "Students need to understand that New River Light and Power Company is one of two assets owned by what we call the Endowment Fund (of the university)," By JENELLE AUTRY Assistant News Editor An ASU student was killed early Satur­ day morning in a one car accident. Samuel Mauney II, a sophomore at ASU, and Allan Wayne Harrison, 21, both of Gastonia, were pronounced dead at the scene after their car hit a telephone pole and filppea following a 100 mph chase by Gastonia Police. According to vestigator Darrell passenger in a car they were chased Gastonia Traffic In­ Griffin, Mauney was a driven by Harrison when after being stopped for Office Trivette said. The Endowment Fund also owns the university bookstore. "Profits from those two operations, by their charter, flow through the Endowment Fund for scholarship purposes," Trivette said. Trivette said the university is now in the process of developing tighter policy and procedures for collecting all university delinquent accounts—whether New River or not. "Because the auditors last year wrote us up for letting our accounts receivable get out of hand," he noted. "So what they're saying is 'you have got to tighten down your policy on letting students re-register with old balances'," Trivette added. Foundation addressed By MARK S. WILLIAMS Appalachian Staff Writer During last week's meeting, ASU's Board of Trustees indicated that the university intends to establish standard procedures to be followed by the ASU Foundation in its future sales of real properties. In addition, plans have been made to establish a committee that would consult the Foundation about gifts of real estate. The purpose of the committee will be "to look at gifts of land and real estate and to advise the Foundation on those matters," Development Committee Vice Chairman Thomas Chandler said. "I think it will be very helpful to the Foundation." The ASU Foundation is a non-profit private organization designed to solicit gifts, convert all gifts into liquid assets and funnel that money into ASU. "Its existence is solely responsible to help Appalachian (State) University," Chandler said. The Foundation and its director, Vice Chancellor for Development Robert Snead, have recently received widespread media coverage due to alleged wrongdoing in a 1986 land deal. The proposed procedures are being enacted in response to the con­ troversy concerning the 1986 sale. This land deal was investigated by the N.C. State Real Estate Commission and drag racing. Harrison lost control of the car, a gray more recently by the executive committee of 1987 Mustang belonging to Mauney, while 'he Board of Trustees.

He also said that he Mauney is survived by his parents, was pleased that this money would be going Samuel and Margaret Mauney. 'o ASU. ASU student killed manner," Kaehr said. "To cater to the administration's wishes and alter some of the material which appears on the Commentary Page would be censorship; I will not participate in censor­ ing our paper," Kaehr said. "The Supreme Court has determined opinion to be fair comment and absolutely protected from censorship." "I've heard that many people feel that I am the one who chooses topics for the Com­ mentary Page and that is simply not true," Kaehr said. "We do not assign topics to our columnists. Therefore, if our columnists want to write about Christians, they do so." "If other students would like to address different topics, they are always welcome to write for us," she added. "Based on the review and concurrence of the Board of Trustees, no unethical, illegal or immoral act was made," Chairman of the Board of Trustees Richard Davis said. He added, however, the questions concern­ ing the land deal could have been prevented with the implementation of better policies. Davis said that with the establishment of land sale policies similar to those of municipalities, a situation similar to the 1986 land deal would not reoccur. Plans for the west campus food facility were also discussed during the two-hour meeting. "This facility is being built, really, tb serve these 2,000 somewhat people—stu­ dents—on the west side of campus," Chair­ man of the Business Affairs Committee Seby Jones said. "But it is not to be used as a commercial-type restaurant," he added. Jones said that this facility was for the students. He noted that due to the growth of the student body, the expansion of dining facilities is necessary. "It is in this light that we are dealing with the food facility to service students' needs," Jones said. Davis noted that he was disturbed by the opposition to the project by local businessmen. "I think a university has an obligation to feed its students. I think it's a normal and necessary act on the part of any university to provide food facilities for its students," Davis said. "If that happens to compete with private businesses, then that's the nature of the beast," Davis said. "If we were getting involved in some enterprise that was not in keeping with the university campus, I can understand the opposition. But this is a nor­ mal and necessary- ordinary-type of activity and I'm a little bit dismayed by the opposi­ tion by business people who feel that this would be in competition with their enter­ prise," Davis added. �THE A PPA LA CHI A N, TUESDA Y, MARCH 21. 1989 » |Campus assault numbers near average B> KENNETH BUYER < Xpp.la, hinn Sluff Writer ' ..hi!'"6 hfS ' ac ^ been no s'8n'ficant frequency of reported , saults on the ASU campus, accord, 'ng to Director of Public Safety and \ Security Roy Tugman. m I,. fiave seen no real increase in ! e number of assaults reported this . year, but unfortunately we have seen 3 no decrease either," Tugman said. However, there have been four ^assualts reported on campus this •month. Tugman said these were the • results of conflicts with the SGA (Stu­ dent Goverment Assciation) election. .- Tugman added this is the first time "tie can remember that there have been jassualts reported because of the elec-fions. Captain Paul Isaacs, in charge of investigations for security, attributes alcohol in 90 to 99 percent of all assualt cases on campus. "Sometimes when students have too much to drink, things will sometimes get ouf of hand," he said. Tugman said there is no one place on campus that these attacks usually occur—they range from the (Student Union) Pub and Legends to the residence halls. According to Tugman, ASU com­ pares very favorably in the number of reported assaults to other comparably-sized campuses within the University of North Carolina system and around the country. "The security phones that have been installed around campus ove: the past couple of years are an asset to the impression of ASU security at ASU," lugman said. "However there has been no emergency traffic on the phones, since their installation. But the added security they bring to the campus makes them worth the cost." In the future Tugman hopes to fill the foot patrol position which is now vacant. This will establish patrols to areas on campus that cannot be covered with vehicle patrols. night. For example, when returning to campus after a weekend, students should park their cars before it becomes too late. Students should also take someone else with them to accompany them back home.

Every show always Promises to be different and exciting. It does not matter what kind of enter­ tainment you enjoy, because there are so many diverse types of entertain­ ment to see and participate in. Those who prefer the field of dance have an extremely wide variety of styles to view and to perform in. From the classical Nutcracker Ballet to the dance routines of the Appalettes, dan­ cing proves to be a very diverse and interesting subject at Appalachian. This April, we will be given the op port unity to see a wide sampling of dance styles when the Appalachian Dance Ensemble takes the floor in Chapell Wilson Auditorium. This event promises to be a performance you won't want to miss! The ensemble consists of seven dif­ ferent dancing groups that will per­ form separate routines. There are six different choreographers for the dancers. Each group varies in their dance styles, from modern dance tc ballet to jazz. Each unit practices in­ dividually before coming together to form the Appalachian Dance Ensem­ ble. Tryouts for the dance ensemble were held in November. Tryouts con­ sisted of a few short routines that were taught, rehearsed and performed on the same day. Decisions were made as to who would make the team on how well the dancers performed their routines. From freshmen to seniors, each class is represented on the teams. Practice started at different times for each of the seven groups. One of the freshmen dancers, Mica Bredoff, stated, "Our group rehearsals began right after Christmas break and we have been practicing one or two times a week since then." Bredoff added, "My instructor, Susan Lutz, also teaches several dance classes here at ASU as well as instructing us. Among the classes she teaches are modern, ballet and jazz." involved with things here at App," Bredoff said. When asked what the dance ensemble meant to her, Bredoff responded, "I feel like I'm becoming a part of ASU and it's something real­ ly fun to do for the school!" The Appalachian Dance Ensemble will perform on April 16, 17, 18. The performances start at 8:00 and will be held in Chapell Wilson Auditorium.

Smoldering Memories of the Damned When night fell, I was standing by the fire, remembering, reflecting, wishing. I could not bear the silence much longer. I was proof that it had all happened. The movement had gone out of control. This was not how things were supposed to happen. I wished we could have stayed underground and only preyed on the evil as we did in the beginning. Then maybe all those innocent lives could have been saved. Why did everything have to end like - it did? Was there not another way? If only...No! I must not allow myself to feel any guilt. It was the only way we could survive. It was in no way our fault. We did not start this. I remember when we first made ourselves known to the living. That was our first mistake—our original sin. Soon after men started their kill­ ing of us, not actually killing because we were already dead, but rather they had discovered the two ways we could be destroyed. Many of my kind were slaughtered in the early battles for our existence. In relation, innocent people had to die. Death from our bites.

Soon, there was an all out war between men and immortals everywhere. In the long run we know men did not have a chance. We were so brilliant, or so we thought. Massive fires were started by both sides. We knew men depended on their environment so we destroyed it, severing their source of food. They tried to drive us from our hiding places into the sunlight in order to stake us. To a large degree this tactic worked. The war, like no other before, raged in every country on earth; destroying the world for everyone concerned. The numbers on both sides dwindl­ ed until was was no longer possible. Only a handful of us were left, and tb the man's numbers were even fewer. With their cities destroyed, their food supply depleted, we became the even­ tual winner. However, by the time we realized that our own survival depended on that of man, it was too late to turn back. After man was ex­ Nit* terminated, our own demise was in­ isf evitable, and now—like man before us—we are doomed. •/.N Night has finally come and the silence is unbearable.

"Some of it is true, but a lot of it isn't," McGowan said. McGowan is 47 now and questions his sense of belonging. His experience in Vietnam was not so devastating that he escapes the problems of a nor­ mal human being dealing with middle-age. Yes, it does have some in­ fluence, but not so stereotypical that it dominates the person McGowan has become. McGowan was shot at, and he dealt with a great deal of stress trying to cope in Vietnam knowing he had no other choice. Was this a model for how he reacts today? Maybe so. McGowan was thrown a curve ball in his life having to face the terrors of war. He is also a normal, middle-aged man facing life's problems. He is playing his deck of cards now with the same competence he displayed in Vietnam. Don Sanz, ASU's Human Develop­ ment Director, supports McGowan's feelings. Since his return from Viet­ nam, Sanz has felt a sense of social consciousness for fellow veterans. His whole life has been devoted to counseling veterans suffering from memories of Vietnam. Sanz was a First Lieutenant in the Delta IV Corp in the southern part of Vietnam. Sanz witnessed as much pain and sorrow as he experienced and like many other veterans today, he endured a great deal of survival guilt following his return to the States. Sanz defeated this contention by reaching out to fellow veterans. Sanz is currently researching Post Vietnam Syndrome (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome). He has developed guidelines which define the dimen­ sions of personality affected by delayed stress reaction. Among these dimensions are psychic or emotional numbing, anger, anxiety, "flashbacks," survivor guilt, hyperalertness, and suicidal feeling. By developing these guidhnes, Sanz alows himself to express his deep con­ cern for veterans still unable to deal with the haunting after effects of war. "It is unfortunate people throw out soldiers with war," Sanz said. He has unmitigated compassion for disregarded soldiers. To any veteran reading this article, Sanz would like to offer a sincere, "Welcome Home!" -i- «-C- i j .v. 3: 5: A- Tt. iX § 5 x �SPORTS ch fo" THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDAY. MARCH 21, 1989 ASU/Furman split Roger Watson By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Staff Writer No so is great Even though rain cancelled the baseball team's scheduled home opener on March 15 against LenoirRhyne, baseball returned to Boone Sunday as Appalachian split a double-header against Furman by shutting the Paladins out in the first 6-0 then losing 6-5 in extra innings in the second contest. The Mountaineers entered the games with an 8-3 win/ loss record with their last victory an impresive 15-8 over South Carolina in Columbia. Appalachian broke out first with a two-run inning behind three hits. Furman had many chances to score in the early innings, but always wound up empty because of Pete Palmer's pitch­ ing and defensive plays like Garrett Hinshaw's bullet throw from left field in the third inning to snag Furman's Brent Williams, who tried to score from second. Palmer would end throwing a complete game with six strikeouts and his first shutout of the season to improve his record to 2-1. Hinshaw played offensively even bet­ ter than he played defensively by cleaning out Furman pitcher David Hartley for three hits and four RBIs. The killer blow against Furman was Hinshaw's monster grand slam home run over the right field fence in the fifth. That was his third homer of the season increasing his total runs batted in to 16. Catcher Mark Macchia went 2 for 3 for the Mountaineers as well. The game ended when Mike Clark, after hitting a line drive double, was hit by a ground ball hit between se­ cond and third. By the rules he was called out and as a result ASU won a luck-filled game and its first con­ ference game. Game two saw Appalachian strik­ ing their first time up at bat and Hin­ shaw extending his hitting spree by connecting a 2 run RBI single. An ASU player also got called for leaving second base too early on a sacrifice fly and the club ended the inning with two men stranded. In the second, the Apps scored another run by Mark Macchia reaching on a fielder's choice scoring Mike Torrence. Brad Riley started for ASU on the mound allowing two earned runs, but was relieved in the sixth by Chris Smith whom Furman greeted with three runs and four hits giving the Paladins a 5-4 advantage. Hinshaw helped the late Moun­ taineer comeback in the seventh by belting an RBI triple with two outs. However, he could not be brought home and the game went into extra in­ nings. Dan Norman replaced Smith as the new Apps pitcher and gave up one run while fanning two Furman batters. Doug Jones, the pitcher for Furman, came through the eighth unscathed to protect the one run lead, but in the ninth faced Hinshaw with two men and two out. Hinshaw grounded out to first base to end the game. ASU's record is now 9-5 and 1-1 in the Southern Conference. Their next game is a Tuesday home doubleheader against Radford. Hi everyone! I'm sure everyone is enjoying tournament time in college basketball. Everyone except for those girls who watch their soap operas that is. I think it's kind of funny that women who want to see their soap operas have to stay up to around midnight to watch them. That's the time frame they should I be scheduled in anyway, but enough of that. I think that perhaps the soap operas would have been more ex­ citing than the ACC Tournament. |The games were really boring.

There's a point where you've got to be realistic about it and we can probably make money and so can Catawba by playing each other." Next year's team could see a lot of changes because Coach Moore made , it clear that every position is open. He believes that by doing this it will give some players new life and renewed incentive to work as hard as they can since the slate has been wiped clean and no one is guaranteed a position. The offense for the Mountaineers will have a one-back eye formation according to Moore. He also said that the option is a possible play but that it would only be run when it was a very good chance that the back will be able to get the ball so the quarterback won't have to take a lot of punish­ ment. Many of the things we talked about with the coach are subject to chhnge. The talent on the team must be looked at closely before Coach MoOre knows what kind of things he can do with the talent that the team has. The last question we had for the coach was what would he like to tell the students of ASU and this is what he Said. "It's their school, their footbail team, and their program. We want them to want to support it. As coaches and players we want to do our best and have lots of fun doing it." West Arizona. Indiana ~l East N. C. State Duke. Arizona.

Let's be crystal-clear here. I am not a wimp. Just because one of my friends has nicknamed me "TimeTrimmer" due to my appalling sup­ posed lack of a backbone does not mean I don't have some pretty strong­ ly held opinions. Yeah. And what's more, I'm not scared to write about 'em in the paper ^either. Boy, I just hope I don't get censored by anybody high up for doing this. All right. Here goes. First: sliced bread is good. I hap­ pen to like white bread; I know it's not as healthy as, say, wheat, but hey—I live on the edge. I know what it's like to feel that adrenalin surge kick in as I spread on the peanut but­ ter they have down in the Food Court now; don't let anyone tell you I don't. Terrorism really stinks.

In addition, soccer should not be called football—at least not here in America. If they want to everywhere else, I guess that's okay. Mike Tyson was entirely justified. But, then again, I kind of see Robin Givens' side, too. I'm pretty sure Elvis is dead, and—I'm gonna go way out on a limb here—I don't buy all that channeling stuff where they're supposed to be able to talk to him. I'd rather talk to Jim Morrison anyway.

Orange juice is better than apple juice. So there. Miller Lite beer tastes great and is less filling. But don't drink it if you don't want to. American beer isn't as good as European beer.

Any person meeting these stringent requirements must then 1) think of an issue, 2) write about it and 3) bring it to 3rd floor, Workman Hall. With these grueling requirements, is it any wonder that there are so few opinion page columnists? Oh yeah, don't think that I don't have an opinion on the important issue of whether or not condoms , should be in residence halls. I think that condoms are good, if you like that kind of thing. But then again, maybe not; I wouldn't want to offend anyone. Another issue which concerns many of our readers .. is whether or not the ASU ducks' (you know, the ones in the duck pond) wings should be clipped so they don t fly south for the winter. I personally say let the ducks fly free! Yes, I'm going to take a stand on this one—stop the clipping, now! I hope you've enjoyed this special national bland day article. I'm sure some of you did. For those of , you who didn't, please, write something for thispage which concerns you. If you don't then I can't see how you can complain that the commentary page is non-representative. Wake up and start thinking about what you want The Appalachian to be. If somebody doesn't start letting others know what . they think about things, every day could be national bland day on this page. And I'm sure that would make some of you very happy. Appalachian ( nlumnisl The celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ (i.e. the Easter holiday) is just around the corner. This is as good a time as any to examine a couple of issues which are paramount to the Christian faith. The issue of whether of not Jesus Christ rose from the dead is often the main issue in question. This proves to he an interesting subject. It is one of the main characteristics which sets Christianity apart from any other religion known to mankind. Think about it. The body of every key figure who began a religion is right now at this present moment in the grave. This means if you could travel anywhere in the world vou would be able to visit the grave site where those founders are buried. But, if you're talking about the founder of Christianity, you couldn't travel anywhere in this world to see His body. Sure, you could go to His grave site—hut there you'll find an empty tomb. Why is the fact of the literal resur­ rection important to the Christian faith? Dr. J.W. Montgomery, an attorney and law professor, savs that the whole Christianity foundation collapses if Jesus Christ didn't con­ quer death by rising from the dead. He says this is part of the evidence that Jesus offers to prove that He is God Himself. Jesus claimed to be God Himself. He rose from the dead? How can there be any proof of these events? Basically the same way you prove anything occurred or anybody from the past existed. Take George Washington for example. How do we really know that he was a real person and not just a legend? Can you really believe that he was the first president of the United States? The only proof of these things is from historical records. Ah, but who says that these records haven't been altered? The very fact that there exists earlier records which are in agreement with the latter saying that good ol' George was the first president is our proof. This same type of proof exists with the claims of Jesus Christ to be God and the New Testament documents which speaks of His resur­ rection. Dr. Montgomery states that the books of the New Testament are "the best attested documents of the ancient world," that they have "the least amount of textual alteration and damage to (them) across the cen­ turies." He goes on to say: Hr'e can gel hack virtually to the time of writing and ice discover that these documents were in the condition in the first century in which ice find them in the twentieth. It is simply not the case that as a result of translations of copy­ ings ice have lost our contact with what those documents originalh said,t Emphasis added) With that in mind, check out the Gospel of John to sec where there arc claims that Jesus is God. The chapters and verses to especially note are: 5:18, 8:58, 10:33 and 14:9. What about the resurrection of Jesus? Couldn't someone have stole•n His body? In addition to the text of the New Testament, simple logic can rule out this question. Dr. Mont gomcrv says there arc only three groups of people who might have taken the body. The Jewish religious leaders arc the ones who asked that the tomb of lesus be guarded in the first place so no rumors about Him rising from the dead would be started. So, it couldn't he them. The Romans are the ones who guarded the tomb. Why would thev want to steal the body. Even so. either group could have brought forth the body to show that Jesus was still dead, unless th;\ didn't have it! What about the disciples? Could they have taken Jesus' body and say that He rose from the dead? Hardly. If thev did then they would have risked their own lives (and gotten killed) for something they knew was a lie. Dr Montogemcry puts it this way: two pic die for things that are untrue. . But it 'v one thing to die for something you think is irue hut which i.sn 7, and a very different thing to die for something you know very well is untrue. He concludes that this possibility is "psychologically out of the ques­ tion." So, even from just a brief examina­ tion of some of the claims of Chris lianily, the belief system it has is testable and doc hold up to scrutiny. W ith this being the case, I challengeyou to not pass off Christianity so lightly, thinking that it is unverifiahle. ; ; : !' �10 THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDA Y, MARCH 21, 1989 So, you yourselves Christians call Bv MARK S.

It's just not in a proper perspective as far as an SGA elecltion is concerned." According to McCaskey, this year's election was more aggressive than previous elections. McCaskey said there were two reports of election violations reported to the attorney general s office. The first violation ivnolved the possibility of ballot-box stuffing. Upon investigation is was determined that no ballot boxes had been stuffed. The second violation investigated showed that table tents printed for the Edwards/Wooten ticket had not been reported in their budget statement. Wooten says the matter has been put to rest. "The table tents were Thursday .March 16, 1989 SGA election done as a donation,"Wooten said. McCaskey said the matter would be investigated to determine is there was indeed a violation. According to Director of Public Safety Roy Tugman four assaults were reported as a result of the elec­ tion. "It had to do with a scuffle over 'sineage' put up at one of the tunnels," Tugman said. The scuffle resulted in four dif­ ferent complaints from the people in­ volved. The matter has been taken to student court. McCaskey nor Tugman would comment further.

'The whole idea, in essence, is that :y (the university) are trying to ipete with the local merchants," iU Senior Michael Sollecito Jr. jd, son of Michael Sollecito Sr., ner of the restaurant Sollecito's. t 'he conflict developed when ASU ounced its plans for the new din{ facility that will serve Italian lods. •'It's going to be a facility on the test side of campus, located right above the Duck Pond," ASU Food Service Director Ron Dubberly said. "I've been here for nine years and ever since I've been here, one of the major requests from SGA (Student Government Association) has been to have some kind of dining facility on the west campus," Dubberly said. "With the way the campus has grown over the last four or five years and with the expected growth, we decided to look into it." Dubberly said Food Services hired an independent consultant company to study the situation and make recommendations on the type of din­ ing facility that is most needed. "They found that there was definitely a need for a facility of con­ venience for the students on the west side of the campus," Dubberly said. "The study also recommended that we zero in on an Italian concept." "The restaurant will offer pizza by the slice, calizones, lasagne, Italian subs, salads and desserts," Dubberly said. "Also there will be a pizza shop designed for delivery to the residence halls on campus. We will make no deliveries to students off campus." "We have a commitment to the students that we will service them and be competitive with any place in town as far as pricing goes, so we will be comparable in pricing," Dubberly said. "The law says that we cannot compete with private industry, but as long as we provide services only to our internal campus then it is accept­ able."

This Je'l comes from a new Food Service facility that be located above the Duck Pond field. The new facility will serve Italian food and deliver pizza to students living in residence halls.

From these, 10 will be " with two alternates for the Petition. Then the pieces will be led on campus and judged. °rder to matte the presence ot pinning artist more prominent, lender wants the winner to do a i^Py residency or workshop. The , win have the opportunity to in. and talk with the students and y y* Alexander also feels that it ^ be beneficial to videotape an ij )eNV of the artist, as well as with VlHTor. This tape would be es> available for use to those interested. The budget to operate the Outdoor Sculpture competition and gallery ex­ hibits comes from the Office of Stu­ dent Development. It costs $40.25 each month to have 10 sculptures on campus, which, according to Alex­ ander, is an incredible bargain. Catherine J. Smith Gallery has be­ tween 10 and 12 exhibits a year. These shows are basically contemporary art work done by living people. ASU is not currently set up for historical shows because there is not a museum facility. However, Alexander hopes to have a new gallery that will also serve as a museum in the future. The Smith gallery is currently featuring a "Women Artists" exhibit. The participating artists include Pamela Becker from New York, Mary Snyder Behernd from Ohio, Marita Dingus from Washington, Betty LaDuke from Oregon and Ann Rowles from Durham. The show ends March 24 Dubberly said he is not trying to take money away from the local businesses but that he has a respon­ sibility to the needs of the students liv­ ing on campus. The Sollecito's agree that the open­ ing of this new dining area will hurt their business as well as other businesses. "In my opinion, if they want to open up a new food facility that's fine, as long as it's similar to what is already being provided," Sollecito Jr. said. "If they wanted to make it into an international food concept that would be fine also, but one specific ethnic food, that isn't right." Although the planned delivery ser­ vice will only cater to those students on campus, Sollecito Jr. said it is unfair competition. "The biggest problem is that the university, in actuality, doesn't con­ sider the effects that their decisions have on the local merchant," Sollecito Jr. said. "Unfortunately, they are looking at the whole issue from a non-profit organization pointof-view. They don't see the dog-eatdog point of view." Sollecito said another example of unfair competition is the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. "It was originally opened with a promise to area hotels that it wouldn't cater to the public. It now publicizes that it is open to the public," Sollecito Jr. said. "The Broyhill Center has no right to be competing with the local hotels. It should only cater to univer­ sity staff and students." "There is, in this area, so little rap­ port among the business people and the college," Michael Sollecito Sr. said. "Half of the town is made up of students, and we heed their support. We are not like N.C. State or UNC (University of North Carolina) where there is much more population. We need the students for our bread and butter." Sollecito Sr. said a committee should be formed in order to discuss the ramifications of decisions such as this. Sollecito said the committee should be made up of representatives from the university and area merchants. "Everybody seems to talk about what we should do together, but no one seems to be doing anything about it," Sollecito Sr. said.

Animals not allowed in residence halls By ROBERT A. DOM ICO Appalachian Staff Writer Snakes, puppies and ferrets oh my! Gerbils and frogs parachuting from sixth floor residence hall windows, having an eight foot long boa con­ strictor for a third roommate and rais­ ing a puppy in a residence hall are situations that ASU's Residence Life has recently experienced. ASU's Pet Policty says animals bioligically classified as "Osteicthyes" are the only pets per­ mitted to be kept in Unversity residence halls. The osteicthyes classification does not include rep­ tiles, birds, amphibians, mammals or other types of animals. According to the pet policy, a fish aquarium can be the only form of pet ownership in a residence hall. Resi­ dent Assistant (RA) in Belk Dorm Amy Wilburn has seen more than just fish. Wilburn recalls her freshman year, 1985, when two girls bought a puppie from the animal shelter and housed the puppie in a dorm for an entire semester. "I think they wanted to see if they could get away with it because they (the girls) finally showed the puppy to the RA during the Christmas party," Wilburn said. Director of Residence Life, Bob Dunnigan, has seen similar incidents. Dunnigan said the pet policy needs to be abided by everyone all of the time for sanitary reasons. "It is easy to control sanitation with an animal in a household ot three or four people," Dunnigan said. "But having an animal in a household of 300 to 400 people is something dif­ ferent." Dunnigan said Residence Life and ASU students have always had the responsibility to maintain the sanita­ tion and up-keep of the residence halls. "The pet policy is distributed to all freshmen," Dunnigan said. "It is well publicized." Students caught sheltering an animal in a residence hall are asked to dispose of it immediately or are given a grace period to find a home for the animal. Failure to do so could result in eviction from the residence hall. "We would have to remove the animal and the student," Dunnigan said. "And we do not enjoy doing that." Area Coordinator for Stadium Heights residential cluster, Evelyn Wallington, also advocates the sanita­ tion and health issues of sheltering an animal on a residence hall. "A residence hall room is not the place for a pet because of many health issues," Wallington said. "The most popular is allergies." Wallington sees two reasons why people have animals on the residence halls; companionship and because people want to see if they can get away with it. "People know they are not supposSee ANIMALS Page 2 Art sculpture vandalism costs university By BECKY HIGBEE Appalachian Staff Writer Damages caused by vandalism to art sculptures on campus comes close to $1200 this year, according to Direc­ tor of the Catherine J. Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium, Mark Alex­ ander. This figure is based on damages to at least three sculptures. "There has been substantial damage in some pieces, but for the most part, it has not been too bad," Alexander said. This semester, three college-aged men not from ASU attempted to steal part of "Past Reflections," the wooden sculpture located in front of Wey Hall. They were arrested by ASU security and jailed for larceny, a felony offense. Alexander notified the artist, Judy Sutton Kracke, who is from Amarillo, Texas. According to Alexander, the artist did not want the young men to have felonies on their records, but she did want them to pay restitution. The sculpture is worth $2500, and to destroy a part of it lessens the value of the whole piece. The artist wrote Alexander a letter expressing her concerns, and he in turn shared the letter with the men's defense counsel on the court date. Because of the artist's wishes, the violators managed to get a lesser sentence. They were fined and are re­ quired to do community service work. "This was basically due to the ar­ tist's generosity, because they could have been prosecuted to the full letter of the law with no problem," Alex­ ander said. "I didn't want to see them messed up by this. Dean Noyes Long did not want to see them damaged for the rest of their careers because of one night of short-sighted activity." Alexander also asked the men to submit to him written accounts of what happened, including how it felt to get caught, emotions they were ex­ periencing when confronting their parents and the motivation behind the act. Alexander does not believe in this case the vandalism was a malicious at­ tempt. "It's a problem with public art. Vandalism happens," he said. When an art piece is vandalized, the university pays for the damage. "We attempt to make restitution to the ar­ tist by making repairs ourselves, if the piece can be repaired," Alexander said. "We have a couple of pieces in the shop right now being worked on under the artist's agreement." If the piece is unable to be repaired the university insurance absorbs the cost. Alexander said vandalism is equal to censorship. "The idea of this cen­ sorship, whether it's individual cen­ sorship or fanatic censorship of a political or religious nature, bothers me. If you don't like a book in the library, does that give you the right to tear up the book? If you don't like tne artwork, that's fine, but I don't think you need to physically damage or destroy it, especially when it's on loan from an individual," he said. "It's not some purchase. We're not spending the taxpayer's money for it," Alexander said. "So it's kind of offensive to me—the idea of destroy­ ing individual expression, even if you may not agree with it. It's undemocratic. It has a kind of 'stormtrooper' mentality to it, and I don't like it," he added. Alexander said vandalism is also and act of cowardice. "If people don't like the art, that's fine. I'd be more than glad to have them come and discuss it with me. I'd like to see great editorials about why things are disliked," he said. "Vandalism of any kind is un­ justified," Alexander said, "but to See VANDALISM Page 2 �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y, MARCH 16, 1989 Clubscan Job Fair to be held By NICOLE PARSONS Pershing Rifles Travel 1 o New Orleans In February, the Pershing Rifles, \SU s nationally recognized drill Beam, traveled to New Orleans, Louis­ iana to march in several of the Mardi Pas parades. The team participated in both the Krewe of Mercury and the Krewe of Napoleon parades on SunJay night and in the Krewe of Zeus parade on Monday night, the latter of which they won a plaque for best |entry. 1 he famed Mardi Gras parades are known the nation over for the wild and crazed masses that attend each year. Usually there are about five parades a day and each one centers around a different theme. Some have "oats, and others are just marchers. Fljis is the fifth consecutive year that It fie Pershing Rifles have been invited |to attend this affair. The trip to New Orleans was not all jwork for the drill team. During their |stay they visited the famous French Quarter, walked down Bourbon Street, and experienced the Mardi Gras night life. In addition to all of [this, they watched several parades, ate a( local restaurants, and visited jazz bars. Housing was provided by iJackson Barracks which is a National Guard barracks area. The club pro­ vided one meal for participants while |they were there. ''The parades provide good experience for Nationals," Diana Johnson said. ASU's Pershing Rifles have won the national competition three consecutive years and are plan­ ning to win it again this year. There is a lot of hard work involved with preparing for the Nationals. Much planning and preparation goes into the routines. Unlike other teams, Ithe Pershing Rifles use real weapons. I here is a seven pound weight dif­ ference between the real weapons and |the facsimilies.

Alexander said students are in a position where they have the oppor­ tunity to appreciate and understand the value of art. "We live in a society where art is revered economically, but it's one of the most completely misunderstood things that there is," he said. "To have objects of misunderstanding at the university level, you're at the perfect place to get to the point where you could under­ stand them, or at least attempt to, not destroy them." There are 10 sculptures located on campus. These pieces were chosen from a blanket call of entries. All par­ ticipating artists received $50 to help with shipping costs.

Adult Student Network • Addresses Needs Of Non-Traditional Students I he Adult Student Network is an organization that attempts to ease the transition from the "real world" to "college-life" for the non-traditional student. There is a trend across cam­ puses all over the country for adults in the work force to return to college to upgrade skills, improve employment opportunities, or change careers. Some are enrolling in school as freshmen at age 35 or 40. These students bring with them a great deal of maturity and life experience. They also come to school with some disad­ vantages and problems. The Network was' formed to address those prob­ lems. The Network is available to answer questions or help solve problems for the non-traditional students (NTS). It also acts as a referral service to direct tudents to support services available on campus. You miss her sparkling sense of humor. She misses you and your jokes. Even the bad ones.

WPCQTV personality Larry Sprinkle opened the show with his hilarious imper­ sonations of famous personalities. After Sprinkle shared his route of entering the business, advertising Tijuana's serves tasty food By WILLIAM C. BALDWIN Appalachian El Celera Editor Tijuana Fats' makes me very happy. In a world where so few things can be counted upon, 1 really appreciate a place where 1 know I will get good food, drinks and excellent service. For the unfortunate among you who have never been to Fats', you'll find it hiding in downtown Blowing Rock. It's easy to spot; it looks like a Mexican restaurant (go figure), and (depending on the season) you may notice people drinking their mimosas and margaritas in the outdoor dining area. The first time you visit Tijuana Fats', you may be intimidated by the massive menu—not to fear. Over the past few years I've tried almost everything they serve at Fats'. Everything is good; you won't be disappointed no matter what you order. Fats' serves everything you would expect at a Mexican restaurant, start­ ing with appetizers (nachos, Buffalo Wings, quesedillas, chile con queso or guacamole with chips, soup, gazpacho, etc.) ranging in price from $.85 to $4.75. Also, Fats' has several salads (I recommend the house salad as an appetizer—it has a very in­ teresting and very tasty dressing) in­ cluding chicken, beef and chicken with guacamole. There are a million entrees on Tijuana Fats' menu. That may not be entirely true, but there are a lot of 'em. Fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, chicken dishes, vegetarian dinners, burritos (both regular and enchilada style), chimichangas, tostadas.. .then there are the combination dinners and specials. If you're having trouble making up your mind, the dinner special (your choice of three en­ chiladas and/or tacos served with rice and beans)—under $6.00—might hit the spot. I could personally list everthing on the menu as "recommended" but I shall try to control myself. My favorite things are: chicken en­ chiladas, enchilada style chicken bur­ ritos, chicken quesedillas, red cab­ bage enchiladas and, oh well, I should shut up. Most entrees at Tijuana Fats' are only $6 or $7. For those of you with the tendency to overindulge, Fats' offers several desserts—fried ice cream, ice cream with Kahlua or Tia Maria, dulce dough and flan. So far, I've raved mostly about Fats' dinner menu. They do serve lunch—the food is excellent; the por­ tions and the prices are smaller. The lunch special of two (mix or match) tacos or enchiladas with rice and beans is a killer deal at only $3.25. Tijuana Fats' has "A Mexican Champagne Brunch" each Sunday from 10:30 until 2:30. Brunchers receive a complimentary glass of champagne or a mimosa after 1 p.m. The brunch menu features several Mexican omelettes served with your choice of side items (the fruit stuff is really good). Omelettes (as well as the egg entrees for misplaced Americans) are all under $5.00. That's it for the food at Tijuana's. But there's also a bar, home of the famous Margarita Mondays (Margarita Monday means that margaritas and tequila shots are dis­ counted). The drink specials on Sun­ days and Wednesdays are: house highballs for $1.75, small pitchers for $1.95, large pitchers for $3.50 and draft for $.75. The bar is wellstocked, and the bartenders are prepared to mix for you such exotic drinks as screaming orgasms, B-52's, and electric lemonade. The "special­ ty" is, of course, margaritas. I suggest a variation on the old favorite, an am­ bulance (a margarita with cranberry juice). Last but not least: the waitstaff. Your waiter or waitress is an impor­ tant part of your meal wherever you eat, and the waitstaff at Tijuana's are the best. Pam, Karen, Vicki, Bernadette, E.K. and Greg will keep a steady supply of drinks on your table, serve you excellent food and (if you twist their arms) you might even get them to recommend an entree or a drink. Do yourself a favor. Gather a bunch of your friends and make the sacred pilgrimage to Blowing Rock and have a pitcher (or four or five) at Tijuana's and be grateful that there are some things that you can count on.

Topics for discussion were "The Agency Structure" in which Jim Rountree, Accounting Executive for Owens Rountree, and Jennifer Thompson, Creative Director for the Thompson Agency, provided their knowledge of how the agency is departmentalized. Drew Patterson of Patterson Design, Jeff Andrews of Graftech Corp., and David Pearlman of Action Graphics, gave lectures on advertising production. Visual aids enhanced the Creative Process lec­ ture. Audio visual components were used by Jack Dillard for the Lasiter , Appolochlon Photo by Trey HoracK vices Center, who has worked with similar programs. While the Counsel­ ing Center and the Career Planning office have always worked with students on selecting their majors or careers, they usually only serve 100 to 200 students per year. "One-third of our students are undecided as far as their majors go, and one-half of the remaining twothirds are not sure," Sanz said. "That means we have 6000 to 7000 students who are not very sure of what's going on. We only work with 100, so we thought maybe there's something else we can do. "I got to thinking, 'I have experience with paraprofessional pro­ grams preparing students and they're very effective,' so I thought we might be able to do something like that here." The center opened on a trial basis last spring, and opened officially on the second floor of the Student Union last semester. Counselors worked with 1100 students during the fall semester, and have already seen 400 students so far this semester. The center is also open to faculty and staff who want to look at career options. Both the professional counselors and the student advisors are highly qualified for career counseling, Sanz said. The paraprofessionals—all of whom are volunteers—participate in an extensive 25-hour training pro­ gram, and the process of choosing student workers is highly selective. The center is equipped with three computers and two computer pro­ grams which lead students through a series of questions about their interests and abilities, what they're looking for in a career, what the salary range might be for a particular career and how to go about deciding on the right career.

Aren't people entitled to a few mistakes?" How many times I've told my mom to let me make my own mistakes...I couldn't count. But would this be such a good thing? Should I be allowed to make my own mistakes? This could only lead to me actually learning from my mistakes so I won't do the same thing twice! But does anybody actually learn from their mistakes? I know that I try really hard to forget the stupid things that I have done so I won't have to realize what an incredibly awful person I am. For instance, I almost totally forgot until just this moment the time I was playing softball and I swung the bat just as a little girl walked behind me, and instead of hitting the ball, I cracked her head open. Needless to make a C, because you knew while you weren't studying that you weren't studying. But, what if you were in a body cast and your roommate was gone, and you really could not get to your book? In this case, you knew while you weren't studying that you weren't studying, but there was nothing you could do about it. Therefore, is a mistake when you do something you didn't mean to do? Maybe. But what if you meant to make a B- on a paper and you ended up making an A. Would you call this a mistake? Of course not! That would be stupid! But what is one sign of stupidity? Making lots of mistakes! Therefore, it would be a mistake to call making an A instead of a B- on a paper a mistake. Not all people who make mistakes often are stupid, though. Some very respected and intelligent people (myself, not to name names) have "I made a mistake! Aren't people entitled to a few mistakes?" How many times I've told my mom to let me make my own mistakes... I couldn't count. say, this made me feel like the dirt that was soon floating away in the stream of blood that I had caused. I didn't mean to do it, of course, but was it really a mistake? I didn't know that I was doing it at the time. Do you have to be conscious of a stupid thing to call it a misteak? Oops! I made a mistake. But I wasn't sitting here thinking, "Hmm. I think I will spell mistake 'm-i-s-t-e-a-k'." (Well, ac­ tually, I was. But it was only to il­ lustrate a point. I know it was stupid, and a mistake. See my point?) However, maybe I am looking at mistakes from the wrong angle. Maybe I should examine the concept of mistakes more practically. For in­ stance, if you think the C you got on your biology test was a mistake, think, "But did I study? Of course, 1 didn't mean not to study. It's just that my book was way across the room." This may seem like a feeble excuse, onH «• U'4c - * been known to make mistakes such as going to the wrong class and sitting through half of it before she realized. Or even asking someone when her baby was due only to find out later that she wasn't expecting. But these mistakes and others like them do not signify the stupidity of the people who made them. Or maybe it does. I don't know. What I really hate, though, is when people yell at you and throw things at you when you make a mistake. But I guess this will just make you remember it longer so you won't do it again. Of course, you get low self esteem in the process, and can never have faith in your intellect and com-, mon sense ever again, just because some people who never make mistakes themselves yelled at you and threw things at you just because you made a mistake.

She drove it everywhere—to the supermarket, to the corn fields to pick the golden stalks, overalls on, and now to the train station to pick up her oldest son, home from college. "Momma, don't push the clutch while you're in park," Robie gently chided his mother. "You'll make the transmission fall out."

Oh great, I thought! With my luck they will pro­ bably get that mixed up with another cooler lull of beer. Sort of like a bad episode of "Three's Company" where Jack goes to a stock car race and opens up his cooler for a brew, only to find my human head. Boy, was 1 glad I wasn't going to be around to see what happened next! I decided to start looking for that bright light I had heard so much about and get on with this dead thing. I didn't like it too much, but I guess 1 really didn't have much of a choice. As I started looking anxiously around the room for that light and/or George Burns, 1 was suddenly yelled at by the doctor. At first I thought he couldn't see me so I continuted gazing around the room, but as he slapped my face and told me to get a grip on myself, 1 realized I wasn't dead. In fact, on fur­ ther inspection I realized 1 was dress­ ed just like that red haired nurse that had nodded at me earlier. Oh Shit! I thought. 1 had died and came back as an airhead!! I started to cry as make­ up streamed down my cheek, clogging up my eyes. * * * Once again everything was black. So, now where was I? 1 was no longer in that nurse's empty head, and I knew 1 wasn't in Heaven. I doubted I was in Hell because I couldn't hear any Village People music playing. Then it dawned on me that I must be alive, because of the fact I was actually thinkinglhoughts. I decided to think of some more thoughts, and sure enough I could. I was alive!! Cool!!! Had the operation gone successful­ ly? I decided to opeh my eyes and check things out and see for myself. 1 certainly was pleasantly surprised when I opened them to the sight of a sterile hospital room. "Doctor, he's coming to," were the first words I heard. I started a grin. 1 tried to sit up, but that only in­ creased the pain. The doctor chuckl­ ed, saying, "You'll be very sore for quite some time." 1 tried to speak, but could only muster a horrifying squeak. "Please," he cringed, don't try to talk. Your voice will come back to you in a few days." It was about this time that he clasped my hands and said, "You'll be happy to know that the operation went very well. We got 100 percent of the cancer." The nurse started clapping. I was going to be ill. "The only complication was that it took longer than we had ex­ pected—Oh don't worry. You were technically braindead for just two hours, but 1 doubt there will be any permanent damage. The only visible sign of any of this will be the scar go­ ing around your neck, but that will fade, with pain," he paused to strike a smile, "in time." In time I grew accustomed to my own grating voice. It seemed odd at first, but 1 guess it was better than dy­ ing. In time I also stopped trying to explain to people what had happened to my neck.

' 1• °P'Greer' Arena TheSe,nteMin i heatre, March 15-1 -18, and 20-22, at 8 p.m. The play is under the direction of • Susan Cole, director of the University Theatre. Cole has selected a unique and demanding play that presents some new challenges to both the director and actors. "The play centers around family relationships, conflicts, and conflict­ ing claims of friendships. To bring these elements to the stage, each actor must reach beyond his realm of experience," Cole said. The set and lighting design are by Dr. Frank C. Mohler, scenic and lighting designer tor the Univerity Theatre. Mohler has shown his wide range of creativity by designing two very imaginative and diverse sets already this season for Heathen Valley and Once Upon a Mattress. Based on an actual incident, Pack of Lies focuses on the moral dilem­ mas that devastate commonplace peo­ ple when petitioned to spy on their friends. The story centers around Bob and Barbara Jackson, an ordinary couple who live in an undistinguishable English 'row house' in a quiet London suburb. Their best friends, the Krogers, who live across the way, have been in the neighborhood for five years and are Canadians. Helen Kroger drops in almost every day to chat with Barbara and to see Julie, the Jackson's teenaged daughter who calls her Auntie. It's all quite routine, until the day a member of British intelligence turns up at the Jackson household to ask if they would mind the stationing of a female observer in Julie's room to keep an eye out for a KGB agent who's been visiting someone in the vicinity. Soon the homeyness of this middle-class English family is shat­ tered, as they are swept into a coldwar whirlpool of deceit and* betrayal—for the Krogers are suspected Soviet spies. Bob and Barbara Jackson are por­ trayed by Brian Harvell and Karen Duckett. Harvell is a junior majoring in communication arts with a concen­ tration in Broadcasting. He appeared as Hector in this fall's production of Tiger at the Gate. Duckett, a senior theatre major, has appeared in several ASU productions. Her most recent role was Agnes in the University Theatre production of The Four Poster. Steve Hughes, a junior theatre major, appears as Stewart, a British intelligence agent. Hughes performed in last season's one-act production of The Real Inspector Hound. Julie Garber, a freshman education major, portrays the Jackson's daughter Julie. Garber is a graduate of Cary High School in Raleigh, where she played the leading role of Lisa in the 1988 production of David and Lisa. Helen and Peter Kroger are played by Michelle Poole and Brian Michael Drye. Poole is a senior theatre major who most recently appeared in last season's UT production of Summertree. Drye is a freshman from Matthews, NC. He appeared as the Count in this season's Alpha Psi Omega production of Fools and is currently performing with the Appalachian Young Peoples' Theatre in their spring touring production of Androcles and the Lion. The two female observers are played by Paula Holder and Catherine Van Gorden. Holder is a senior theatre major from Spruce Pine, NC. Van Gorden is a freshman theatre major from Delaware. Both appeared in last fall's Tiger at the Gate. The show is stagemanaged by Scott Mical, a junior business management major. He is assisted by Charley Belcher. Costumes are being coordinated by Martha A. Marking. Karla D. Webber is costume mistresss for the production. Tickets for Pack of Lies are now on sale at the University Theatre Box Office, located at 121, Chapell Wilson Hall. Office hours are Mon­ day through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For further information or reserva­ tions, call the University Theatre at 262-3028. IT'S ALL JUST A PACK OF LIES Pack Of Lies, a play based on a true story written by Hugh Whitemore will be presented March 15-18 and 20-22 at 8:00 p.m. in IG Greer Arena Theater.

The show was headlined by two time CMA entertainer of the year Hank Williams Jr. Also included on the bill were Steve Warner and Tanya Tucker. The restless sellout crowd roared with approval as the house lights dim­ med for the show to start. The first act was MCA artist Steve Warner. Warner, who has eight number one Majosha and Japanese whiskey By WILLIAM C. BALDWIN El Cetera Editc.* Majosha (Muh-josh-uh) is not a dreaded disease; it is also not a sound you make when you are about to be violently ill. Rather, Majosha is the name Millard Powers, Ben Folds, Dave Rich and Evan Olsen use when they perform or record their unique style of fun rock/dance/funk music. Since they first got together in January 1988, Majosha have opened up for Treat Her Right and Scruffy the Cat; they have played at clubs in Michigan (a contracted stint of per­ formances for "real old people") and New York, as well as more local haunts such as Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill—soon (April 13) they'll be open­ ing for Dreams So Real at WinstonSalem's Orchestra Pit. Majosha have made a name for themselves in Boone through their in- spired performances at Sollecito's and through the sale of their EP—Party Night: "Five Songs About Jesus" (available at Record and Tape Depot). The four-song cassette represents Majosha's eclectic style—"Get That Bug" and "Cool Whip" being exceptionally cool and (dare I say it?) trendy—deserving of airplay on real college radio stations everywhere. Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks so, because CMJ (the Bi­ ble of college radio) has chosen Ma­ josha's "Get That Bug" for inclusion on their next "Certain Damage" compilation compact disc promotion, due out March 20. In past volumes, "Certain Damage" has presented material from new and "unknown" (relatively speaking) acts as well as New Order, The Smiths, and Echo & the Bunnvmen. / '"HP Jm **"' -—J \ Hall and may be purchased Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. For further information call 262-3028. From left to right: Brian Harvell and Karen Duckett as Bob and Barbara Jackson, Michelle Poole and Brian Drye as Helen and Peter Kroger, Julie Garber as Julie Jackson. A Japanese whiskey company is also using "Get That Bug" for pro­ motion of their product—Majosha recorded for them a version of the tune at The Hit Factory and it has been pressed on 50,000 three-inch CDs to be used as promotional items. The band plans to use the bucks they got from the Japanese firm to finance their next project—a fulllength album including the four tunes on "Five Songs About Jesus" and 10 more cuts. The album should be available in early May. In the mean time, if you love to party, love great music and want to have a grand ol' time on St. Pat's Day (gosh, that's tomorrow), then make your plans and take your date or a gang of friends to Sollecito's tomor­ row night. Ben, Majosha's See MAJOSHA Page 8 V- records to his credit, dazzled the crowd with excellent vocals and hot guitar licks. It was a pleasure to see an entertainer who seemed to truly enjoy his work. He showed excellent stage presence as he performed such hits as: "Midnight Fire," "Some Fools Never Learn," "The Weekend," and "Baby I'm Yours." As Warner's 30 minut^.set came to a close, he played a brand new single "I Got Dreams." This is the title song from the album of the same name, which was schedul­ ed to be released March 9. Next up was Tanya Tucker. Dress­ ed in a flashy mini skirt she quickly caught the attention of the men in the audience. Although she is only 30 years old, most people don't realize that she had been in the music business more than 17 years. In 1972, at the age of 13, she topped the coun­ try charts with "Delta Dawn." Tanya showed the talents of a seasoned veteran as she performed many of her popular numbers. "Strong Enough to Bend." "Love Me Like You Used To," "Delta Dawn," and "Highway Robbery" are just a few of the hits included in her hour-long set. It was approximately 10 p.m. when the lights went down for the main at­ traction, Hank "Bocephus" Williams Jr. The rowdy crowd jumped to their feet as Hank and his Bama Band stormed into "My Name is Bocephus" to kick off the show. It was easy to tell it was Hank's first show since October 15. He displayed an electrifying energy that clearly Appalachian Slaff Writer Hmmm. The new album from Boston band Throwing Muses, Hunkpapa, leaped into the college radio top-10 at nummber seven. Like its predecessors, Hunkpapa is one of those records that doesn't really knock you out at first— it just sort of eases its way into your system and stays for a while (haven't heard too many of THOSE lately). I kinda wonder how this album is going to do out there in that vinyl jungle of pret­ ty, prefab Poisons, George Michaels and the McPet Shop Boyzzzz.... n, All in all Hunkpapa is an in­ teresting mixed bag 'o goodies—the Muses have taken some chances this time out, and they pay off quite nice­ ly. The two previous American releases, 1987's Fat Skier and House Tornado, were considerably more relaxed than the frenetic 1986 debut maelstrom of which all sorts of nasty accusations of creative stagnation were (incorrectly) thrown about.

Hank played alone, straight from his heart, for more than 20 minutes. During this segment he played such well-known hits as: "Young Country," "A Country Boy Can Survive," "If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie," and a heart poun­ ding version of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "Simple Man." When the band returned it was get­ ting late and the show began to rock once again with hot rock-a-billy tunes. The final song of the evening left the sellout crowd stunned. As the final number began a video screed was lowered behind the stage. This! final number was the new hit' "There's a Tear in My Beer." It is. performed by Hank Jr. and his late" father Hank Williams Sr. The song,> which was recently discovered on an." old Hank Sr. demo tape, has been " overdubbed into a duet. To accom-;* pany the song, the music video was-! also shown. The crowd was amazed at ',' the tricks of video editing showing Hank Jr. and the late Hank Sr. sing- ing together on the same microphone.'* Throwing Muses release new album By DAVID ALSTON rcmember stated Hank and the band were glad to be back on the road. To really appreciate Hank Jr. fot the true entertainer he is, you must se£ him live. Over the course of the shov^ Hank proved his talents as an ex* cellent musician. He played guitar; bass, drums, piano, harmonica, ami the Dobro. However on Hunk papa,things im­ mediately hit you differently. Leslie Langston's complex, jazz-inflected bass playing (she's one of the best "unknown" bassists around these days) is a little more strident this time out, and David Naricizo's martial drumming is a bit more "accessible" as well. The band is nowhere near sell­ ing out ("maturing" is the more ap­ propriate term), and the older stuff is! so frenzied and complex that it pro­ bably went over the heads of a few' too many potential fans. Perhaps for' this reason, the labyrinthine rhythms; are a little easier to grasp this time around. Lead vocalist/guitarist/lyricist ;! Kristin Hersh has toughened the- ! emotive vocals up a bit as well—I've-; always found her singing to be!; soothing in a cathartic kind of way,! • but her vocals ARE an acquired taste! * (imagine a cross between Lone; 1 Justice, Fetchin' Bones and the! Sugarcubes and you've got thegeneral idea). The stream-of-I consciousness lyrics are also a little more understandable. So with all 'o this restraint and refinement flying hither and yon, how is Hunkpapa so different from previous musing from the Muses? Well, the differences start from the : beginning. The opening track, "Devil's Roof" is a shuffling folk- i pop tune that Bob Dylan could've \ done in his hevday, but yet is rooted See MUSES Page 8 �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA v. MARCH 16, 1989 Ozzy's satanic days are over? By MICHELLE RISSOLO - for the course, Satan is the evil-doer of this tune. Appalachian surr YVriltr yckked °SboUrne No Rest f°r The Overall: Very good Well, well, Ozzy's on the wagon. He just released his latest (which seems like his millionth release). He has a straight edge attitude (no drink­ ing, no adulterated sex, no drugs, no nothing except cigarettes.) On this LP, Ozzy is backed by a potpourri of artists: Randy Castillo (drums), Bob Daisley (bass), and Zakk Wylde (guitar). Randy played for many bands including the Motels Stone Fury, and Lita Ford. I believe Bob used to play with Ozzy when ' B'ack Sabbath was together in the c ^akk is the new kid on the ,< ,block—a pretty boy with long hair ,.r„i-iand a virgin smile. Ozzy idolizes him (probably because Zakk attracts the 3ifi,i-»£"lcks while Ozzy attracts the headbanging male species). (tab*;' • , -y The first tune is "Miracle Man." The first thing you hear is an awesome guitar. Zakk will be the new •ui- Eddie Van Halen if the rest of the • album is this good. Ozzy's vocals are , t .the usual Ozzy vocals. I think the fact , that has a new band will make this LP different from the rest. And par The second tune is "Devil's Daughter." This song has a Divinyls sound-raw and sarcastic guitar, cat­ chy beat and bubbling bass. In the chorus, there's the usual crying baby for appropriate lyrics. Break down and cry, break down and cry, Devil's Daughter, You don 7 want a holy war, The time has come and left Your future days have past, No use in fighting back, For what you can't win. Crazy Babies" is the third song. Washed in a funky beat, the excite­ ment of old Van Halen flows charismatically from this tune. The drums are different from what you'd expect in a H.M. LP. Nobody's gonna change me, I'm gonna do it til / die, Nobody's gonna chain me, So you better not try, •.. walk that walk. . . .talk that talk. The next tune is "Breaking All the Rules," very similar to style of the Majosha Muses Scorpions. This tune is about the hassles he went through to support the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. He's been through a lot to keep frredom of speech a true right for Americans—just because he sings about Satan and death doesn't mean he's evil or wants people to kill themselves for Satan. Ozzy really shows his intelligence and sensitivity on this tune. It's too bad people don't really listen to Ozzy; he has a lot of good things to say. Bloodbath in Paradise" is next and it really brings back the Black Sabbath memories from the closet— the old guitar licks, the old drum beat and the old bass rifts. The lyrics are new something that no one whould think about singing in the 60s—Helter Skelter. Charles Manson and his family" committed many murders in California and every scene was bloody with words scrawled in blood on the victims walls. The whole situa­ tion at the time was very sticky and now that time has passed, it's less dif­ ficult to sing about it to the general public. The next tune could pass for New Age, "Fire In The Sky." This is a slow melodic tune with a potpourri of instruments, steel guitars, piano and wide-range synthesizer. The Grateful Fire in the sky, Can't you see that my castles are burning, Fire in the sky Won 7 you help me, my castles are burning. "Tattooed Dancer" is the next paralyzing song. It's fast, tight, raw and true Ozzy bat-out-of-hell rage. Metailica would be impressed with this tune. Even though other critics knock Ozzy's voice, I believe he still has it. He doesn't have that range he once had, but everyone gets old and parts wear out. This is my favorite tune of the LP. It has a slam-dancing angst, tough lyrics and fast, fast, fast guitar. The pace is slowed with "Demon Alcohol." This is a typical Ozzy song about his fight to get on the wagon and stay there. SADD should use this tune for its theme song. The last song is untitled. It's very similar to what KISS is doing now lyrically and musically. It's a fine tune to finish up a very good, satisfying, tight album by good, old Ozzy. When you go see Majosha, be prepared to dance your tail off—ex­ pect little about their music, though because you could be surprised by some of the stuff they play. More than likely, the show's going to be mostly original tunes, but you can ex­ pect an old country standard or two, as well as cover versions of songs made famous by the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, or, for that matter, anyone else. At a time when most of the music available for your ears is about ex .citing as doing the dishes, Majosha hre upredictable (and, better still, untigure-outable), which basically, means they are exciting. squarely in the late '80s. An oddly catchy chorus (I'll tell you something/dance on the devil's roof/under a devil's moon/I don't care and you don't move") SEEMS—with this band you can never be sure—to explain the similarities between the devil and an old boyfriend in ways that even the Church Lady would sympathize with, and it pulls you willingly and eagerly into this stunning album. "Bea," a cryptic tale of emotional prostitution (in a relationship perhaps?—Freud would have a ball with these lyrics), is an unconven­ tional throwback to the first album, featuring the trademark shifts in tem­ po which have always formed the bedrock of Throwing Muses' characteristic sound. The first single/video, the countryish "Dizzy" text, with native, coherent • ... Brimming with unpredictable, in triguing songs, Hunkpapa is a challenging blast of fresh air from a band who has managed to admirably maintain their creative independence in these conformist times. Hunkpapa is an album with a distinct personality of its own, and currently Throwing Muses stand with few others (The Pix­ ies, The Fall, Sonic Youth) in creating bracing, original rock-n-roll. 262-6255 / / ./j \ / ! 5 / / j j .

At the half, Sam Gibson had 15 of ASU's 20 points. The scoring drought ended quickly in the second half as Rodney Peel put in a 19-footer. The Mountaineers worked their way back into the game. Gibson continued his dominance inside the paint and Rodney Peel began to heat up from the outside hit­ ting his first three-pointer with 17 minutes left to play. A layup by Peel cut the deficit to one with 12 minutes left, but the Mountaineers were never able to reclaim the lead. The Apps were down 51-50 with nine minutes to play when Marshall guard Scott Williams hit the first of four threepointers to help the Thundering Herd sprint out to a nine-point lead after Williams hit his last bomb from the outside.

East Tennessee State and Tennessee-Chattanooga met in the other semi-finals after ETSU beat The Citadel and the Moc­ casins beat eight-seeded Western Carolina. The streaking East Tennesssee State Buccaneers won the semi-final over top seeded TennesseeChattanooga in a close one, 76-73. ETSU and Marshall met in the cham- pionship game and John Taft's 39 point effort wasn't enough as the Thundering Herd got stampeded 96-73. The win advanced East Ten­ nessee State to the NCAA Tourna­ ment, where they have the privilege of playing fourth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners in the first round. As for the Mountaineers, they must wait until next year. Kemp Phillips will be healthy and four of the five starters will be returning for the Apps. The only seniors on this year's team were Ronnie Christian and Willie Allen. The 1988-89 All Conference Team was named and confirmed after some controversy about where Bennie Goettie of Western Carolina and Greg Dennis of ETSU should be placed. The controversy came after two members of the press said they didn't receive their ballots and they would have voted for Goettie to be on the first team. The controversy was resolved and Greg Dennis remained on the first team along with Daron Chandler (UTC), Sam Gibson (ASU), John Taft (Marshall), and Ramon Williams (VMI). The second team included such stand outs as Bennie Goettie (WCU), Chris Behrends (UTC), Patrick Elmore (Citadel), Keith Jennings (ETSU), and Damon Williams (VMI). The player of the year was no sur­ prise as John Taft came away with the honor. Randy Nesbit of The Citadel won Coach-of-the-Year honors and Bruce Evans of Furman won the Freshman-of-the-Year award. Some alumni happy Moore chosen new coach at North Texas State and was 16-37-2 at Texas Tech for a combined record of 37-47-2. After the Texas Tech job Moore spent two years in private business before returning to the coaching ranks last year as an assistant with the Arkansas Razorbacks. "The neatest six months of my life took place last July when I went to the University of Arkansas. I will always be indebted to By ROGER WATSON Assistant Sports K.dilor At the Southern Conference Tour­ nament in Asheville the Mountaineers lost the basketball game but gained a football coach. Bonham, Texas native Jerry Moore was named as ASU's new head football coach by Athletic Director Jim Garner. The announce­ ment was made March 4 before the semi-finals of the Southern Con­ ference Tournament. Moore is a 1961 graduate of Baylor University and began his coaching career at Corsicana High School as an assistant coach from 1961 to 1964. In '65, the 49-year-old Moore joined Southern Methodist University where he served as an assistant coach for seven years. After SMU, Moore went to work for the Nebraska £©rnhuskers as an assistant coach for six seasons. Moore got started into coaching after he was cut by the Dallas Cowboys. After being cut, the Dallas organization placed him in a job with an insurance company. Moore quick­ ly found that the insurance business wasn't for him. "I was there about two hours and 1 knew that I didn't need to be in the insurance business. I needed to be around young people." Moore's first head coaching job was at North Texas State. He stayed there for two seasons before taking the head coaching job at Texas Tech, a member of the Southwest Con­ ference. Moore had a record of 11-11 Ken Hatfield (the head coach at Arkansas). It was a great year for us, both on and off the field," said Moore. Although Arkansas was a great job for Moore, he has no reservations about coming to Appalachian State. "This is a great opportunity for me. ASU has established a tradition of winning and has accomplished a great deal in a relatively short period of time. We can build on that solid foun­ dation." Athletic Director Jim Garner slso has no reservations about hirine Moore. He said he looks at three things when hiring a coach: Are they good people with good values and morals, are they academically oriented, and are they fun to be around? Garner said Moore is the type of person we need more of in col­ lege athletics. "We are very fortunate to have a man with Jerry's coaching experience, with his value and character, and the guy who's going to lead us to levels that we haven't been to yet in football." Jim Garner may be happy with his choice but "more than a few" of ASU's alumni are disappointed with the choice of Moore, according to Phil Holder of the class of '72. "More than a few of the alumni are upset about the choice of Jerry Moore as the new head football coach. I think that we should, have heard the names of the other candidates. He (Moore) has a lot to prove. It will be easy for him or anyone else to prove that he is a good coach because of the great program Coach Woods built. The real test for Moore will be three or four years down the road," said Holder, "I have some serious questions, as do others, about how he got the job, but he is our football coach and we all need to get behind him." Garner defended his choice at the press conference by saying, "I've never hired a coach on the basis of wins or losses and I never will. When you hire a coach, you have to look at See MOORE Page 11 1989 NCAA Gtce again I will begin with the aids.

He .strong-willed and determined- it is has created a solid foundation, one .this determination that brings about that meets the players needs both Appalachian Staff Wriler athletically and academically. He em­ phasizes the importance of academic training as well as athletic training. Coach Burke is constantly working to improve the team's overall perfor­ mance. According to Coach Burke, "The work ethic of the women is admirable while the men can not learn enough about the strategies tennis has to of­ fer." In recruiting, Coach Burke is look­ ing for an all-around tennis player, one with variety, not a one dimen­ sional player. He is looking for a player who initiates good strokes, a precise net game, and the ability to maintain a volley. "Next year's recruits look good," said Coach Burke. "They, with time and proper training will be able to develop into mature athletes." SC The main objective Coach Burke looks for in recruiting is a person's academic sequence. "If a person is a good quality student, then that quali­ ty should carry into the tennis court", said Coach Burke. Coach Burke provides these student athletes with an adequate role model. According to Meredith Phillips, "Coach Kevin Burke is always there for us, through the victories and the losses, allowing us to grasp the true essence of competition; Kevin is more than a coach, he is our friend." The men's tennis played their first match Thursday February 23 against Citadel, losing 0-9. The Mountaineers were without the play of Jim Ander­ son, who has a sprained ankled. The women's team plays this Friday at Baptist and on to Hilton Head, SC for a series of matches over spring break. Continued from Page 9 I : upset. Bennie Goettie showed the Southern Conference why he should have been on the first team instead of on the second team. Even though he is the most-hated coach in the Southern Conference, Dave Possinger did a great coaching job, only to see his team fall a little short in the end. The quotes for this game mainly come from a lady who was sitting right behind me during the game. She repeated the same quotes over and over. Some of these were, "Ya'll get in the game, you zebra" and, "Referee, what is you doin' you blind sucker." But my favorite is "You can't get a decent call in the Carolinas." But this same lady gets credit for the worst quote of the whole tourna­ ment. She said, "Good foul, Good foul!" after a WCU player went up for a layup and a UTC player almost took his head off. The game finally ended with UTC on top and with the last buzzer, so ended the first secession of the tourney. After the great meal it was time to begin the second secession. The first game was between second-seeded Furman Paladins versus the seventhseeded VMI Keydets. The game was by far the most boring of any of the games on the first day. The fans did not really care that much about the game. The Furman fans were not even on the ground level seats; instead, they were all up above. The VMI fans were very few and sat together in one corner of the court. The mascots were okay. I really liked the boxing gloves on the VMI Kangaroo but the rest of the suit , looked as if it was ready to fall apart. The Furman warrior, or whatever it was supposed to be, looked as if it had just gotten out of the Reynolds Wrap factory for aluminum foil. There were no good or bad players just all common. Due to this • fact, both of these teams were gone quickly. One after this game and one after the next round. Finally, there was one quote worth telling you about. A Furman fan answered the question why Fur­ man had no band. He said, "We are the football national champs. We do not need a band." I think it showed because Marshall really showed them in the semi-final game. It was finally time for the last game of the day. This one saw thirdseeded Appalachian State Moun­ taineers versus the sixth-seeded Mar­ shall Thundering Herd. ; This game had many things. I will begin with the cheerleaders. ASU's team was far better than Marshall's. Not to mention the fact that our cheerleaders were far better looking than the Herd's. The mascots also were not even close. Yosef looked and acted better than all three of Marshall's mascots. Yes, that is right, three. First, there was the TEAM judge. Why he was there, I will 1. Arizona never know. Second, there was a girl 2. North Carolina with a basketball around her. The 3. Missouri basketball looked flat and so did she. The last thing was this sheep or 4. Illinois cow that was supposed to be a Herd 5. Georgetown instead that was at the left of the 6. Oklahoma Marshall cheerleaders. Marshall also won the title of the 7. Indiana stupidest cheer in the world. The 8. Duke cheer "We are Marshall" let 9. Michigan everyone know the intelligence level of the Herd. 10. Syracuse But the greatest thing that hap­ pened before the game was that Roger Watson, the great assistant sports editor, got to go to the bathroom while standing next to Rick Huckabay. What a thrill indeed. The game finally began and it was a great game until right before the end of the half, when John Taft started hitting and we began miss­ ing. Well you know how the game ended. It was a hard loss to swallow. There is always next year. The best quotes were by the loud Marshall fans. But I will give them credit because they knew who they were. One of the Marshall fans described their fans on his sweat­ shirt, which said "Loud obnoxious Marshall Fan." The fans of Marshall were just that. At one point in the game a Marshall fan was thrown out of the gym by the referee because of the language he was using. 11.

We were trying to contain them all because they have a lot of weapons," Furman coach Sherry Carter said after the win. In the second semi-final, the Lady Mountaineers took on UTC. The game was a close contest throughout. Chattanooga applied tough defensive pressure that rattled ASU's half court offense. "I think basically we never got into playing our style of basketball tonight. We never could relax. 1 give Chattanooga a lot of credit. They did a good job of keeping us out of what we like to do offensively. Chat­ tanooga handled the pressure better," Robinson said. Appalachian went into the locker room at the half ahead 35-33. The second half was a see-saw affair dominated by the brilliant offensive play of UTC's Julie Copeland. Neither team was able to gain a substantial lead at any point in the second half. ASU was led by Kim Johnson's 25 points and Beth Laney's 24. At several crucial spots in the second half, UTC's Copeland answered every ASU charge with a basket of her own. Copeland scored 18 in the second half and 20 in the game. tournament it was anyones to win, and that is the case. To say the least, this is a sweet victory for us," Parrott said. "I can't give Chattanooga enough credit. They hit the shots when they had to. They got the ball in the hands of the people who could score," ASU's Robinson said. The championship matched UTC and Furman. Furman played a good game, but was not able to prevent the Lady Mocs from winning the tourna­ ment 68-65. For the first time in Southern Conference history, UTChattanooga will represent the Southern Conference in the NCAA tournament. UTC will be matched against Georgia in the first round. In the finals, UTC's Nancy Smith and Furman freshman Janice Rhynehardt were named co-MVPs. Appalachian State placed Beth Laney on the All-Tournament first team and Kim Johnson on the second team. "We did not expect it to be easy. You've got to give Furman a lot of credit. We had the lead, but they kept coming back. We did what we had to do to win the game," Parrott said.

Jim Garner has oeen very successful in hiring good coaches and 1 have confidence that ne is able to select the right person at the right time." Moore defended his losing record by saying that Texas Tech played a lot of teams that went to bowl games. "We lost 17 ball games by less than a touchdown. The last year I was there we lost four ball games by a total of six points." Garner said he received between 80 and 100 applications for the job. "There was an unbelievable field from which to choose. We narrowed the selection to seven people and I knew that we couldn't go wrong in the selection," said Garner. Coach Moore met with the team for the first time last Sunday night. Last weekend Moore named four assistant coaches. Rob Best was named offen­ sive coordinator. David Browning and Blake Feldt will coach the offen­ sive line. All three coaches are from Texas. Danny Nutt was also hired to coach the ASU receivers. Nutt is a former Arkansas Razorback quarter­ back and spent the last three years there as an assistant.

The current system is an inconvenience to off-campus students This ar, off-campus students had one day to vole-one in the Wait; S ;e of Business and one in the Student Union It may be impossible for these students to reach these locations on die two election days. On-campus students have a much easier time exercising their right to 'Ote. Upon entering their residence halls, these students are accosted bv enthusiastic SGA representatives soliciting voters. Is it fair to be pressured into voting? On the other hand, is it fair to t cheated out of the opportunity to vote? With some minor changes, the system could be improved and actualibe easier for the election officials to handle. Voting tor every student could take place in the Student Union dur­ ing regular hours of operation. This would eliminate the contusion of deciding which students have or have not voted. It would also decrease the possibility of a student oting more than one time. Furthermore, on-campus and off-campus students would receive qual treatment. Each ASU student would have to make the effort to ote. The reasons behind the current system are justified because SGA is ttempting to increase the overall voter turnout. However, although te turnout was a bit better then last year, a more effective and fair tethod should be implemented. Animal Other cartoons that deserve mention are "Huckleberry Hound," "Touche Turtle," and "Star Blazers"—a really killer epic. The best things that happen in cartoons usually don't happen to the main characters. How hum­ drum! The sidekicks and the enemies make the car­ toon great. Here's my list of all time favorite buddies and baddies... Appalachian Columnist Students at ASU should be mature enough to abide by rules and gulations put forth by Residence Life. According to ASU policy, students are allowed to keep fish in ihtanks of a maximum capacity of ten gallons. Animals of other types are unsanitary and could cause health prob­ es to students. It is often difficult to detect when an animal has a sease, and such irresponsibility could cause irreversible damage. Damage to property from pets is also possible. Replacing furniture is impletely unaffordable for most college students. Furthermore, the act of locking a defenseless animal up in a small, Jt room is cruel. The Residence Hall heat in the winter months is ten overbearing to humans, and animals would be doubly affected by 'ese high temperatures. Rules were made for a reason and should not be broken. If students nd they cannot possibly live without pets, an off-campus place of sidence should be sought. Shawn O'Neal Top Sidekicks! 5. Boo Boo Bear—Short, stupid, gulli­ ble. Perfect. 4.

After all, how can a liberal be a bigot? "How can I—as an ACLU or NAACP member—possibly be a bigot? I support tolerance and equal rights, for Christ's sake! Don't you mean 'the Redneck Bigot' or 'The Fundamentalist Bigot!?" I assure you that there has been no misprint. The title of this essay is indeed The "Liberal" Bigol. This being established, the next logical question is "What IS a liberal bigot?". Webster's Ne>»• World Dic­ tionary—College Edition tells us that a liberal is one who is "tolerant of views differing from one's own; broadminded" while a bigot is a "narrow-minded, intolerant person." This only adds to the confusion, for now it is seen that a liberal bigot is Hang on! We one who is tolerant, broadminded intolerant, and narrow-minded. My explanation is this: A liberal bigot, as defined by Webster's Dictionary, is obviously a contradiction in terms and therefore an impossibility. However, there are some bigots who define "liberal" incorrectly and mistakenly apply the term to themselves. These are people who call themselves liberal thinkers but who are actually bigots. In order to distinguish this special kind of bigot from true liberals, I will refer to the "liberal" bigot as a "poser"— posing to be something he is not. Usually the poser even fools himself with his facade. How is one to know whether some­ one (or whether he, himself) is a true liberal or a poser? The first clue is that one must look beyond outward appearance. Posers and liberals look very much alike if we merely look at such things as voting record, member­ ship to liberal organizations, musical taste, or physical appearance. The difference, rather, lies in the attitude behind their liberal appearance. 1 will now describe the attributes of a true liberal thinker: The true liberal is motivated by a desire for a true understanding between people, He believes in his heart that people should learn to accept each other with their differences. He preaches tolera­ tion. He is fighting an attitude—BIGOTRY. However, he does not wish to merely condemn peo­ ple as bigots.

Rather than to divide and label people as GOOD LIBERALS and BAD CONSERVATIVES and totally isolate themselves from those whom he considers evil and bigoted, the true liberal strives to change intolerance in people to tolerance. He wants people to judge others fairly, with as much understanding as possi­ ble, and as free from prejudice and stereotype as possible. With the realization that reform must first occur in his own mind, he is very careful to search his own mind for prejudice and bigotry as well. He tries to open his own mind as well as the minds of others. In the spirit of humility (a valuable tool in the pur­ suit of true understanding, he quickly learns to distrust "labels" and stereotypes. The poser, although superficially like the true liberal thinker, has an entirely different attitude. Like any bigot, he needs a scapegoat to blame all of the world's problems on. For the "liberal" bigot, this scapegoat happens to be various forms of con­ servatives. Whereas, the true liberal is fighting an attitude, the poser hates the individual himself. The poser cares nothing for reform, because he depends on the presence of the scapegoat to make himself feel big. Like other bigots, he is afraid to face his own faults and finds it much more comfortable just to find fault in others. The "liberal" bigot is one who thinks that liberalism is merely taking what is generally considered a v •?«* i & liberal position on public issues an<f»: then uses this label merely for art*: excuse to hate their scapegoat—th# conservatives. ^ In the liberal spirit of self-reform^** we must be aware that true liberalisrrf**, in its pure white form is an ideal to strived for rather than a quality to b»J* attained.

We had no money to buy a television. Playing house or playing school were our favorite games. When we played house, we divided the family into parents and children. We took turns playing the roles, but we had no single parents in our games. Wonder how todayfs children play house? CPS One of my older brothers went to work and bought a TV for us. I hated it because it replaced the evening activity when my mother read to us. I remember the intonation in her voice and her expressive face as she watched our interest heighten. She made me want to learn to read so I could finish the story. The books were replaced with black and white flickering images and crackling voices. Today, the noise of TV can lull my mother to sleep. Not me. It is still a reminder of the loss of closeness I felt with my siblings when our family was invaded by TV. I thought my memories of TV and its unpleasant asoects were over. Last summer 1 shared a hospital room with a TY-aholie. She had a serious addic­ tion to game shows, soap operas, and sit-coms. I turned it off when she started to snore, but I would wake up later to the pulsating light. Thank God, I could at least turn off the sound. Maybe another explanation for my dislike of TV is a remnant of guilt from my Baptist upbringing. I distinctly remember the preacher tell­ ing us we would be punished for stay­ ing home on Sunday night to watch TV. Even today, I watch selected pro­ grams and feel I must do something else at the same time. Playing school was our second favorite game. We took turns being the teacher. It was fun to feel the power and knowledge. Of course, we only asked the questions that we knew we could answer. Usually, we had to have a ruler to hint that we would use force in case it was necessary. Playing school was amusing. The real thing was often painful and frightening. I i! know others, besides me, who felt very real emotion in school—FEAR; Maybe it started as separation anxie!# ty, but those mean, old teachers with;-:? rulers or yard sticks or paddles with§ notches terrified me.

Her expression of "love" is having sexual intercourse with jh'fn—the only way she knew to be dnjimate. J 'Sadly, this is about the most typical P"«y people try to express their love to ^another person, not realizing that Jrtfeir expression is anything but love, ptf fact, few people even stop and •Think that there are other ways of ex­ pressing love or becoming intimate rwith a person besides the physical Tfieans. I guess it's because we live in .an age when there is just about instant everything, so we desire to have instant intimacy too. Because the physical dimension of becoming intimate is one that is the quickest to accomplish, it's what people usually aim for first. Before anyone thinks I'm getting on my high horse and looking down at anyone, let me state that I have struggled with these same issues per­ sonally. My desire is to provoke you to question and examine these sub- jects in light of your own experience need to communicate the concerns and the concerns that are discussed. that deeply affect them, which can You may be wondering what are include the joyful and painful the other ways of becoming intimately experiences of their life. Also, try involved with another person besides communicating how you feel about the physical means. First, let's look at the other person's habits that upset the word intimacy and determine you and try to know how they react to what it really means. Dick Purnell, a those and other negative remarks or national speaker and director of circumstances. Single Life Resources, defines The mental aspect of intimacy deals intimacy as "total life sharing—shar­ with the attitudes and thoughts of a ing your life completely with someone person. This includes such diverse else." He sees the different areas of a things as knowing how someone goes person's life as being like a fivethrough the process of making dif­ pointed star.

This an expression of genuine love. I said includes getting to know what the this because often this "love" has the other person likes to do and par­ attitude that says "I will love you ticipating in some of those activities. if. Josh McDowell (also a Also, part of the social aspect means national speaker, referred to in a finding out about their family and previous article) says this is when relatives. someone says they will love if you do Emotional intimacy with a person something for them—like satisfy their is the interaction in which the feelings desires. Another type of love attitude of each person are being understood that McDowell says people have is better. This means that both people called, "Love because of. .." This is conditional and speaks this way, "Because you're someone who possesses a certain quality, I love you." The unspoken words are such that if you lose that quality you're history. The third type is "I love you... period." This is the real and true type of love which is patient and kind and understanding enough to wait. The fifth and last aspect of becom­ ing intimate with another person is up on my work. In high school, Mrs. Veo Burnette Gibbs took her personal time to take us on field trips to Raleigh, to Washington, D.C. and to the world's fair in New York. Little by little my eyes were opened to a world beyond western North Carolina. Two graduates of Appalachian State Teacher's College, Jack Norton and Sheila Dale, stirred the flame for learning. He taught English and encouraged me to go to college. She taught French which I chose to study an extra year. They helped me see more on the horizon than marriage, family and working in the mills. That' French teacher wrote me a post card I guess if anyone is looking for a bottom line to this this: even though most it's ar« looking to be intimate in J than the typical physical rea?S °ther settle for instant physical grp. ?' rather than working for a r- ?'Cation more meaningful intimacy W h a n d occurs a relationship is |ess lik , n 'his a lasting o n e .

No matter how weary I felt that day, it was nothing to the despair of my col­ leagues who had seen the issue defeated for a third time. How can I encourage people to enter the field of teaching? The average salary quoted in newspapers combines supplemental salaries with others to arrive at their figure. In all honesty, I cannot suggest teaching to male students. The unfair salaries continue because teaching is primarily a woman's world. Governor Martin's campaign portrayed him as the "education" governor.

Is in­ form cohabitation next? Unwanted Pregnancy, STD's, AIDS are the name of the game for those who choose play. How far should the state or an institution of higher earning go in assisting one's pursuit ot this chosen moral behavior? Point three: Mr. Baldwin, you may "Love it" when young Chris­ tians get married for the wrong reasons and end up in divorce court. I'll assume you "Love it" when anyone gets married for the wrong reasons and end up in divorce court. Obviously you have a very cynical view of marriage. The practical bot­ tom line of "Christian Morality" is that actions have consequences. I am troubled and hurt when I see people discouraged, demoralized, and defeated by the trials and crises that come from pursuing personal fulfill­ ment in relationships on the wrong basis. The basis of a constructive sound relationship is committment and concern, not lust and selfserving indulgence. As a thirty-five year old I experenced the counter­ culture "freedoms." It is said we are wise in hindsight. My observation has been that sooner or later these "freedoms" evoke their conse­ quences, whether drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, or the grab bag of unrestrainted lifestyles. I realize that when you are involved in making such choices it is very important to convince yourself and those around you that you have the right answer. You're sure that the "traditional," "Christian" values could not have any credibility. The apostle Paul put it well in the book of Galatians say­ ing that God will not be mocked, we will reap what we sow. Crisis pregnancy, STD's, AIDS, divorce, cheapened sexuality, guilt of cons­ cience, poor self-esteem—are these the good fruit of life? Who loves their neighbor as themself, Mr. Baldwin? For your readers, I ask you your level of responsiblity in this matter. Christian morality is on­ ly part of the message of Christ, let us not confuse issues. As for me, sticking my nose in is an act of con­ cern for the personal well being of others, not one of judgement.

To the Editor: Although it has been well over a year, it seems like a short time ago that I arrived at ASU. I have had many enjoyable experiences since that time and am happy to be here. For the first year on campus, I read with regularity the often vitriolic exchanges in this publication between those expousing the Chris- Appalachian Management Service The Student APARTMENT Rental Specialist tian Dersrvrtivo and those critical of _r tian perspective „r,H Christianity. It was depressing and although I saw no apparent progress being made (and often very little sense), I kept reading. Along the way I was constantly exposed to those who thought they were 'shock­ ing readers with the never ending discussions on sex, condoms, phallic symbols, etc. Regular readers know that the list goes on ad infinitum. After some time I was reminded that Christianity has always been fair game and that there will always be people taking shots. As for why, I immediately think of the account in scripture of Jesus before his ac­ cusers. He was mocked and struck and led 'like a lamb to the slaughter'. Obviously his tormentors were convinced that he would not or could not retaliate, although he made it clear that he could if he chose to. The question I am dealing with here is, 'what should the Chris­ tian response be'? It is my conviction that there is nothing more exciting than being God's chosen vessel to do battle. On the other hand, scripture cautions against enjoining the battle without the leading and guidance of the Lord. Having an intellectual grasp of Christianity has never in itself ac­ complished anything of eternal value. The Appalachian contains some very good articles, but I found myself being attracted by the con­ troversy and came to realize that I have no business reading anything that will hinder me, whether it be a pornographic magazine or a 'newspaper' which contains material that is defiling to my spirit. For the one truly called to write in defense of the faith in this publica­ tion, I pray God's best for you. For the Christian who is not, guard against allowing yourself to be defil­ ed and dragged down by those espousing what we know to be misguided and in error, and remind your brothers and sisters in Christ to do the same. A reduction in uninspired apologetics may well defuse the con­ troversy. Furthermore, if those responsible for the content of this paper came to realize that they were losing the attention of a significant number of students, faculty and staff, there would likely be a shift in direction, albeit slowly. Edward Greer Academic Computing Services Noise ordinance is needed To the Editor: Everywhere I've ever lived, the standard formula for allowable noise has been: quiet hours from ll p.m. to 7 a.m., with Friday night and Saturday night excepted. It works. I don't know what the local noise statute is, but if it varies much from these times, somebody is going to be upset. I've read several student opinions lately which address the political power students have in Boone due to our numbers. Two facts need to be kept in mind in this regard: 1. Our political power in Boone exists only if we are registered to vote here. Otherwise, all we can do is lobby or whine. 2. The fact that we constitute a majority of the voters in Boone (assuming number 1 is satisfied) gives us two things. Most ob­ viously, it gives us power. But . .. .i. along with that power comes responsibility. Many people believe that democracy is sum­ med up by the phrase, "Ma­ jority rules." But there is an oft-forgotten ending to that phrase. The complete idea goes, "Majority rules, with minority rules." The powerful majority has the responsibility to look out for and protect the rights of the minorieies, because they (the majority) are the only ones who can! I get the feeling that we are at­ tempting to ride roughshod over the non-partying citizens of Boone. This would be nothing more than a coldhearted abuse of power. We, as citizens of the community, should try to gain the respect of our fellow citizens by using our power respon­ sibly. Mutual respect by both sides will go far in making Boone, in the long run, a much more pleasant place to live. David C. Thomas 312 Blowing Rock Road, No. 103 Boone, NC 28607 Stop the Christian bashing To the Editor: Unfortunately during the recent weeks garbage posing as journalism has become rather common in The Appalachian. Christian bashing and pornography do not properly repre­ sent the values supposedly inherent in an institution of higher learning. Hopefully those involved will soon learn that freedom, rather that being license, should be accompanied by responsibility. Christian brothers and sisters do not be downhearted because of the scoffers. God who has provided for your redemption through the death, burial, and the resurrection of His Son will do the same for scoffers and degenerates if they will but ac­ cept His Gift. Pseudo-intellectual facades and majority opinions do not negate this fact. So rather than being downhearted, pray for those who are bound by the forces of darkness I encourage those who are writing in ways that reflect ignorant and degenerate aspects of themselves to cease doing so. Decent people might mistakenly think that you are typical representatives of our student body. If you do persist in your ignorance and degeneracy, the least you can do is to not continue to prove it in print.

The WASU and Political Science Club sponsored Student Government debate between ticket Brad Edwards and Patrick ooten and ticket Chris Larson and Joseph Panzer sparked emotion with two of the questions. Otherwise the debate, broadcast live over WASU last Wednesday, had the candidates agreeing on most major issues. The panelists included: Editor-in-Chief of The Appalachian Shelley Kaehr, WASU Station Manager Keith Pittman, College Republican Representative Randy Johnson, College Democrat Representative Mark Howard and Political Science Club Presi­ dent Mike Boykin. The first question causing emotion was directed at the Larson/Panzer ticket by Kaehr. I understand that you plan to expand the designated driver and Tipsy Taxi services at ASU and I was wondering if this was a result of your own DWI (Driving While Impaired) conviction," Kaehr said. "No it's not," Panzer said. "I think the service is very needed in town, in fact that's one of the reasons I support it so much. "I faced a problem in my past, I've served my time, I've paid my debt and I've been a leader ever since," Panzer said. 'And I've not let it get me down and keep me down. I've done very hard work in stu­ dent government over the past four years and I think I've proven myself to be a leader at this campus and 1 think the Tipsy Taxi service and designated driver program is an excellent program.

"The Senate is becoming so large with ASU growing as it is.. .it (the decrease) is unavoidable," SGA Vice President Frank "Moose" Callis said. "We want to make it more prestigious to be a senator so more people will want to do it," Callis said. In addition to having the opportunity to vote for SGA president and vice president today, students will also be voting on pro­ posed changes in the SGA Constitution. Students will be voting on two major issues: raising the academic standards for SGA and reducing the size of the Senate.

"We're acting as if Senate size to 75 available seats with 36 on- it has been an interim thing," Callis said. The problem of date rape, or acquaint­ ance rape, is escalating across the country, according to Associate Vice-Chancellor for Student Development Barbara Daye. "Fifty-four percent of all college women experience some sort of sexual victimiza­ tion," Daye said. She added that 15 to 20 percent of college women have been raped and 20 to 25 percent have been victims of at­ tempted rape. Daye defined acquaintance rape as forced sexual intercourse with someone a woman knows and feels comfortable with. "Part of that is not necessarily physical force. A woman is almost coerced—it's almost as if the male will bring pressure on her in such a way that she almost feels guilty herself," Daye said. The focus of these programs will be rela tionships. "We really want people to see what a loving relationship is," Daye said "The focus of the programs will be on rela tionships and their dynamics," Daye said. Daye added that there seems to be a pro blem with responsible relationships on cam pus. "It goes back to people not respecting each other," she said. The group hopes to incorporate programs on the subject of acquaintance rape into freshman orientation. "We see (the programs offered this semester) as a beginning," Daye said. Daye said women need to come forward and report acquaintance rapes if they are at tacked. "If we could get more women to report what happens to them, we would be helping those women and we'd be helping men "Fifty-four percent of all college women experience some sort of sexual victimization." —Barbara Daye Vice Chancellor for Student Development Date rape has occurred on the ASU cam­ pus. "There have been date rapes reported on campus. When they're reported we work with them," Daye said. Daye added many date ;apes still go unreported. "Many women are ashamed to report it or are afraid to report it. They wonder what's the use in reporting it?" she said. Daye feels lack of understanding and respect are the primary causes of acquaint­ ance rape. 'It comes from a lack of respect for another person and it comes from men believing the myth 'when she says no she means yes,' " Daye said. Prevention Through Awareness, a group comprised of representatives from many areas of the university, is looking at the date rape problem at ASU. They will be sponsor­ ing a series of programs throughout the semester on the subject. A date rape teleconference held February 2 was the first of these programs. "We had 60-85 people who came," Daye said. "I was really disappointed we had no more men than we did," she added. too," Daye said. The course of action taken depends on how the women wish to prosecute, accord­ ing to Daye. "If she will write a report the security people will work with her however she wants to press charges. It could be with the on-campus judicial system, the criminal court system, or both," Daye said. Daye said acquaintance rapes are not made public knowledge by the university. If we have two people who are having a relationship and there is an incident that happens between those two people, we don't make an announcement about that," Daye said. "If there is an assault or rape by a stranger, we give the information to the ASU News Bureau to disseminate," she added. Daye encouraged students to become more involved in campus programs on date rape. "If they have questions they should at­ tend the programs and find a member of (Prevention Through Awareness) and talk with them," Daye said. �THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDA Y, FEBRUARY 28, 1989 a Bush presents Education Budget for Congress to consider (CPSl j• (C PS)—Overall spending on colvge student aid would drop a little, certain kinds of grants would disap­ pear, black colleges would get more money and the federal goverment would provide less money for students to borrow under the budget proposal President George Bush made to Congress February 9. The proposal, which Congress will now weigh, covers federal higher education spending for the October 1, 1989 through September 30, 1990 fiscal year. "It looks more impressive than it actually is," Charles Saunders of the American Council on Education (ACF.) said of the proposed budget. Janet I leberman of the United States Student Association (USSA), which represents campus presidents in the capitol, said Bush "is actually cut­ ting education funding by not allow­ ing for inflation. Fie says he's freezing defense spending, but there he's allowing for inflation." Yet all the lobbying groups that will be trying to get more money out of the goverment for colleges during the budget process were far less alarmed by Bush's proposed education budget than they had been by Ronald Reagan's. "There is a new climate," Saunders said. "It's refreshing to have a guy (like U.S. Dept. of Education Secretary Lauro Cavasos). It's much better than (President Reagan's Secretary of Education William) Ben­ nett, who would come in and say 'Okay, we're gonna cut your funding.' " In fact, Bush's conciliatory tone prompted Lieberman to call the up­ coming budget debate "a negotiation instead of a battle." "It's a significant improvement over what we got from Reagan," ACE's David Merkowitz said. "Last year was the first year Reagan didn't try to decimate student aid." "This guy is willing to work with people to come to some kind of a compromise, to see what can be done," a Department of Education official who asked to remain anonymous said. While the Bush budget does vary from the one proposed by Reagan in mid-January—most notably, it calls for greater funding for pre-school, elementary and high school pro­ grams—Bush's planned spending for higher education does not differ much from Reagan's. "The real point is: are the needs be­ |scu' jmwij itck £ik Ldl-k has expanded! We now have room for private parties, social events, banquets.

"That is one small fraction. You can go speak to other students as well—East Hall is very much split on whether or not they wanted the condom machine in the Residence Hall." "Additionally, through the office hours I have been attending Faculty Senate which was a two-and-a-halfhour meeting," he said. "That picked up two office hours which is two weeks." WASU's Pittman asked Edwards/ Wooten about the current campus parking situation and how it could be improved. "We would like to make more parking spaces available to the off-campus as well as the on-campus students closer, not three miles away," Edwards said. Edwards said they would like to move (tie date of the proposed park­ ing deck between Justice and Gardner up. He added that they would like to establish a parking deck near the tennis courts by security. Larson and Panzer responded to the parking question. "Parking decks are a great idea, but the fact is these parking decks will not be built tomor­ row, Panzer said.

WOODLANDS Debate write tickets with. "I think there's plenty of money there," Panzer said. "I've talked to (Security Director) Roy Tugman, to the manager of the AppalCART system. They feel there is possibility of the expansion with no problem," he added. "By expanding this system the peo­ ple will not need to bring their cars on campus because they have the ac­ cessibility to get off campus late in the evening and I think it's a very good system to eliminate the problem im­ mediately," Panzer said. College Republican Johnson asked the candidates what specifically about their candidacy sets them apart from their opponents. The Edwards/Wooten ticket answered first. "I believe Patrick and I have both worked really well with the students," Edwards said. "We feel we want to reach out to each and every student at this university, open that line of communication and establish something that the students can get input into what goes on at the university," Edwards said. "We have the diversity that this student body has," Wooten added. "We haven't limited ourselves to one area within this university." The Larson/Panzer ticket respond­ ed. "I think Joe and I have both been on this campus for three years now. I think we know the student body," Larson said.

The Education Depart­ ment official said it's an attempt to increase American science com petitiveness, which recent studies say falters compared to Japanese and European students. By 1992, the Bush budget calls for $20 million to be awarded in science grants. The Bush budget also calls for $10 million to help bolster traditionally black colleges and universities, schools Bush has supported for decades. The budget calls for that funding to increase to $16 million by 1992. Overall student aid spending, however, would drop to $8.8 billion, down from 1989's $8.9 billion.

Bush would like to do more for higher education, the Department of Education official said, but budget restrictions caused by the federal deficit tie his hands. "The deficit problem affects everything," the Education Dept. of­ ficial said. "We've got to cut it or we're dead in the water."

Education Secretary Cavazos will keynote the day-long March 4 session. We as a nation, Cavazos has noted, now have the opportunity to rebuild our schools; but change must come at the school site level and those who must take the lead are teachers. Focus sessions at the conference will examine how economic and demographic changes are impacting on American education. Participants will be exploring the impact of these kJhe changes on 12 separate areas that range from curriculum and teacher education to school/business partner­ ships and urban education. The final morning will see a special presentation by a delegation of seven Soviet educators. The leader of that delegation—Vladimir Shadrikov, the first deputy chairman of the Soviet State Education Committee—has been asked to address the conference on education reform in the Soviet Union. NEA President Futrell will wrap up the weekend conference by outlining how NEA's education reform in­ itiatives are seeking to help the nation regain a global competitive edge.

The NEA-sponsored event will bring more than 600 educators together with national leaders from business, economics, and govern­ ment. They'll be discussing—and debating—the hard educational choices confronting a nation that's losing ground fast in the emerging new global economy. In just the last eight years, this new economy has turned the United States—once the world's largest creditor nation—into the world's largest debtor. Turning this harsh reality around demands new approaches to educa­ tion, and new approaches, says NEA President Futrell, demand dialogue between Americans in and out of education. "Our upcoming conference will ad­ vance that dialogue by bringing together outstanding leaders from business, government, and the classroom," says Futrell.

I yj'ON FOR RECYCLING AT 'anning meeting February 28, 7 °°m 20 Basement of East Hall. AT&T The right choice. 0 mw-m .m . wm jfiWnNK 1 �Abortion ruling being debated (CPS)—The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to rule in a case that could make abortions illegal has prompted rallies for and against abortion on a number of campuses in recent weeks. Both sides say they will step up efforts to recruit more students to walk in their picket lines. Students at Stephens College in Missouri, Iowa State, Yale and Western Michigan universities and the universities of Houston, Washington, Texas and Illinois have rallied for and against abortion in recent weeks. Organizers predict more campus ef­ forts will come as the term rolls on, and the Supreme Court's deci­ sion—due this spring—approaches. « In January, the court agreed to rule on a Missouri law that limits abor­ tions in that state. If the court rules the law is constitu­ tional, it would effectively alter or even overturn its landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision, which stopped states from passing laws restricting women from obtaining abortions. "We've grown up with this right to abortions," Stephens College sophomore and pro-choice activist Jane Drummond said. "We've never really thought of it as something we'd need to fight for. Now it may be taken away from us." Hoping to drive that lesson home and portray just how profoundly an anti-Roe decision would affect college women, pro-choice advocates are fan­ ning out to speak to College campuses whenever they can. The National Abortion Rights Ac­ tion League (NARAL), a nationwide pro-choice group, and the National Organization for Women (NOW), have long "ignored campuses," ad­ mits NARAL's campus coordinator Marcy Wilder, who now says, "It's time to focus on them again." NARAL and NOW already have pro-choice groups on about 55 cam­ puses, Wilder said, and hope to mobilize students at 400 schools in upcoming weeks. Then they will try to draw "hundreds of thousands" of supporters to Washington, D.C., in April to support abortion, she said, to counter the large pro-life actions held in January. "What needs to happen is that the pro-choice movement needs to become more visible," Wilder said. "The anti-abortionists have been very visible. We need to do the same." "College women are the perfect ac­ tivists for this issue," Ronni Rothman of the American Association of University Women said. "They're a relatively untouched hotbed for this issue, and many pro-choice activists are already tapping into that grassroots energy." Since the Supreme Court bases its decisions on the Constitution, com­ mon law, case law and previous rul'ngs, it's much less susceptible to public opinion than Congress or the president. "Unfortunately, you can't picket the Supreme Court, " Rothman said. Yet, Wilder says, "If we can con­ vince the court there will be a lot of confusion in American society if they overturn Roe vs. Wade, they may act less drastically." life for collegians dramatically. could change A defense against cancer be cooked in your kitchen?

"We're not really sure what all this means yet," Rothman said. "The court could chip away at Roe vs. Wade, giving the states more leeway in regulating abortion. The worst case will be that while the rich will always be able to find abortions, the poor won t. Students will be hard hit since most don't have a lot of money. "A lot of it just depends on where you go to school," Rothman added, explaining that if Roe is overturned, each state will determine its own abor­ tion statutes. Pro-life activists are also recruiting students to pressure the court—and sway public opinion—to limit or have laws that will greatly restrict ac­ criminalize abortion. cess to abortions if Roe is overturned.

Another standout cut on Pontiac is the misnomer, "Simple Song," which ends with the unsettling, "So hear tnv words with faith and passion/For what I say is true/And when you find the one you might become/ Remember part of me is you. " What do we have here? A country artist who sits around and thinks deep thoughts? The new Lyle Lovett and his Large Band is the next logical step after Pontiac. His lyrics are still clever and unpredictable, as evidenced by "Here I Am:" If Ford is to Chevrolet/ What Dodge is to Chrysler/What Corn Flakes are to Post Toasties/What the clear blue sky is to the deep blue sea /What Hank Williams is to Neil Armstrong/Can you doubt we were made for each other." There's also a song about forgiving called "Good Intentions," which sums up how 1 spend half my days—"// makes for a good day for some serious reflection/And massive rationalization/For contemplating the future of the future/And the last of the past/And wondering if you could ever forgive me." There's a love song called "I Know You Know" and a song about heartbreak called "Once Is Enough." Lyle plays with a favorite country theme in the selfexplanatory tune "I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You." Lovett and his Large Band are cur­ rently touring in support of the new album. This past Sunday evening, they entertained a capacity crowd at Chapel Hill's Memorial Hall. Lovett has said his Large Band was large enough to play anything he wrote; they proved that they were large enough to be great, and large enough to sound larger than they are. after that—I was having too much fun to take notes—but "God Will," "The Old Porch," "If I Were The e tw^th Man You Wanted," "An Acceptable two things: What is it?" or "Who is Level of Ecstasy (The Wedding a wha?oCv°UrSe' L?le1S a who and not Song," "M-O-N-E-Y," "She's Hot at (this question is not open for To Go," "She's No Lady," "If I fandTk' I f f°rCed t 0 define h i m Had A Boat," "I Know You Know," (and labels make us all so much more "The Waltzing Fool" and several comfortable) I'd have to say that Mr. more got played during a set divided Lovett is a (perhaps the only?) pro­ into two parts by Francine's awesome gressive country singer/songwriter performance of "Wild Women Never Lyle grew up (and. still lives in) Get The Blues."

VMI then changed, their defense to take Peel from his commanding role on the court, but because of that, Appalachian was allowed much more room to work in­ side allowing Gibson to add on to the dismal one-point showing in the first with a powerful fourteen-point effort in the second. "The way the game was going," Gibson said, "I got pissed Appalachian Staff Writer After years of dreaming for a As mentioned earlier, the Moun­ taineers had to play the best basket­ ball possible to overcome a sevenpoint Keydet lead with 6:40 left in the game. VMI played persistently throughout, denying ASU center Sam Gibson of any good scoring chances and as a result, Gibson only had one point in the first half. Rodney Peel was then forced to take charge in the first 20 minutes, scoring fifteen of his off. We get stubborn when the game's going like (it was). I do, and I sense it in the others, too. We told each other we weren't going to lose this game." Apparently head coach Tom Apke felt that way even more than Gibson did and as a result, ASU went on a 16-2 in the last seven minutes of the game, including the last eleven points scored by either team. Because of the victory over the Keydets, ASU's record overall is 20-6 and, more importantly, they remain in the hunt for first place in the Southern Conference with an 8-5 mark. The important factor that would lead to a first-place tie with Furman as the conference tournament begins March 3 in Asheville, is if the Mountaineers defeat the 7th-place Thundering Herd of Marshall Mon­ day night in Huntington. Apke has never led ASU to victory over the Herd since he took over the coaching position. UT-Chattanooga must also lose to the Citadel to insure a high tourney bid, but the Citadel has to win it on the road. Apke, after winning the game, was still in a state of disbelief about the game in general. "It was a weird game. Somebody said it was a Twilight Zone game because so many strange things happened. The officials were out of whack along with both teams, and then all of a sudden one team would go on a roll. . .it was just strange. But we're happy. We're ecstatic."

Kidd Brewer Lady Apps prepare for ECU By PAUL L. CARROLL Appalachian Staff Writer For the third time in three years, the Lady Mountaineer basketball team has won at least a share of the regular season Southern Conference crown. With victories over East Ten­ nessee State and Marshall, the Lady Apps assured themselves a bye in the first round of the Southern Con­ ference tournament. Last Wednesday, ASU hosted the Lady Bucs in a must-win game. Behind the inspired play of Kim Johnson, Beth Laney, and Joanie Brackett, the Lady Mountaineers pulled away early and coasted to a 72-60 win. The Lady Apps had a week off before the ETSU game and the sloppy play on the floor showed the rust. It was obvious that ASU was the better team, and it is a testament to Linda Robinson and the Lady Apps that they were able to raise their level of play high enough to gain the victory. The Lady Bucs made one serious run at ASU in the second half with 13:55 remaining in the game, ETSU closed the gap to 49-42. The Lady Mountaineers called a time out and proceeded to pull away from ETSU and never looked back. "It's been a week since our last game, and it looked that way. It wasn't pretty, but a win is beautiful. We showed strength being able to play off and get the win. This game is a mark that we are playing well," Head Coach Linda Robinson said. ASU was unable to start senior guard Debbie Swicegood due to an in­ jury. Earlier in the week, Swicegood injured her knee in practice. The in­ jury forced Beth Laney to move from her normal power forward position and take over at guard. "Debbie hyperextended her knee and her patella popped loose. She shot yesterday (Tuesday), and now we'll treat Debbie as if she is OK," Robinson said. "We moved Beth Laney from 2 to 3 to 4. Beth will do whatever you ask of her for the good of the team," Robin­ son said. Laney finished the game with 18 points and a team-high 9 re­ bounds. "Jimma Smith did an exceptional job off the bench. She made good decisions and I was pleased to see her get good minutes," Robinson said. With 22 points in the contest, Kim Johnson passed Madeline Frosch and moved into tenth place on ASU's The money is not the most impor­ tant thing to Brewer. "All you need is enough money to support your fami­ ly. I have lived long enough so all this other stuff is for the birds," Brewer said. "Appalachian is the cream of the crop. It is one of the outstanding places in the United States. It is not just my opinion," he added. "I know about South Carolina. I have seen some of the best coaches go there. It was a dead end," Brewer said. and coaches. I have seen all of this stuff but when all is said and done day by day all that matters is the hap­ piness of the man, his family and his fellow workers," Brewer said. Brewer wants to come back to ASU and coach again. "I have never ex­ perienced a situation like the Ap­ palachian family. Not only officials of the university but its community. Appalachian is recongnized throughout the United States by not only the athletes, but the subjects," Brewer said.

Against Marshall on Saturday, the regular season championship was on the line. Earlier in the year, the Lady Apps lost at Marshall for their only conference defeat.

Freshman Shannon Thomas drew the assign­ ment of guarding Marshall's highscoring Jenny Leavitt. Cunningham and Laney contributed 16 and 13 points respectively in the first half, while Thomas held Leavitt to only two points. With 8:07 left in the first half, ASU called a time out with a 19-16 lead. For the remainder of the half, the P Lady Mountaineers went on a 20 to 10 run that effectively put Marshall out of the game. "Starting off the basketball game, we decided to go with Shannon Thomas guarding Leavitt to take some pressure off of Beth Laney. Shannon set the tone for our play against Leavitt," Robinson said. "Our players believed that Mar­ shall can be held to a few points. We won this game on defense. With only 26 points at the half, Marshall had to have some doubts, " Robinson said.

Special lo The Appalachian The Office of Recreational Sports at Appalachian State University was invited to Davidson College to con­ duct a European Team Handball seminar on Thursday, February 23. The seminar was held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. to help assist Davidson in setting up a structured handball intramural program at the college. According to Don Barrow, a graduate assistant in charge of of­ ficials at the Quinn Center, ASU was chosen for their past performance and reputation in handbil play. Appalachian is the closest univer­ sity to Davidson with an intramural handball team already established," he said. "In addition, I believe the In­ ternational Handball Federation recommended ASU because of our past involvment in handball tourna­ ments, former club handball team, and our present structured handball program." The seminar was a combination of instruction and exhibition play that allowed the Wildcat participants at Davidson to apply what they learned in "hands on" play. "We wanted to provide a 45-minute seminar on basic rules and regulations and effective offenses and defenses," Barrow said. "The re­ maining hour or so, we played an ex­ hibition game against a team they had put together." The team chosen to demonstrate handball at Davidson was the fall in- SC/ Stats SOUTHERN CONFERENCE STATS 1. Tenn.-Chattanooga 9-4 2. 3. Appalachian State Furman 8-5 4. Citadel 7-6 5. E. Tenn.

An all-star handball team was discussed, but due to the limited amount of time before the seminar, The Muffmen were chosen because they played so well as a team. Barrow, a member of the USA Na­ tional Team and U.S. Olympic Train­ ing Team from 1980 to 1984, believes the handball program at Davidson will be successful due to their will­ ingness to prepare participants before they begin handball play. "I believe the most positive aspect of the seminar is that it will get the structured intramural handball pro­ gram headed in the right direction from the start," he said. "I feel sure it will be a success." kids had a little more 'pep in their step'," Robinson said. There was a nice college ambiance at the game.

Myrtle Beach, SC Good March 1-March 31. 1989 Courtesy of Pizza Man k iSU's All Time Winningest Coach speaks By ROGER WATSON Assiianf Sports Editor Many Appalachian State students jldn't have a clue if an exam quesjasked who the winningest basket(coach in ASU's history is. The i»er is Bob Light. Coach Light led the Mountaineer id's basketball team from (7-1972. Light is a native of St. (is, Missouri, but he calls Boone me after living here for 31 years. Light went to Washington UniverjinSt. Louis where he was an assisll basketball coach for four years. 1957 he was attending an NCAA vention in Kansas City when MurGreason of Wake Forest told him lilt an opening for head basketball ch at Appalachian State. Light aptd for the job and took on the job (would occupy much of his time I the next 15 years. At that time Appalachian State had IAIA team and they played in the rolina's Conference. "Rivalries every intense, it was a good con nee. Our most heated rivalry was iLenoir-Rhyne, Western Carolina also always a good rival," Light .Other teams in the conference ided Catawba College, Hight nt College, Elon College, East olina, and Guilford College. The ps played in War Memorial Gym, now called Broome-Kirk, alter rootball coaches Bob Broome, who died of cancer and John Kirk, who drown­ ed in a boating accident. W hile Bob Light was coaching the basketball team, the Mountaineers ac­ complished a lot. The team won regular season titles and in 1967 Light led the Apps to the Carolina's Con­ ference Tournament Championship. The kids that we had were a good team and it was a very enjoyable ex­ perience for me. Ever since I've been here,1 Appalachian has been com­ petitive in all sports. The level has im­ prove^. The level of competition in the NAIA was good and the teams were pretty close," Light said. Basketball isn't the only sport Coach Light played when he was growing up. Tennis was and still is a big interest of his. He would play basketball during the winter months of the y^ar and tennis during the sum­ mer mopths. Light also coached ten­ nis here (at Appalachian for fourteen years, fje retired last May. Light made the transfer from basketball coach to tennis coach after Jim Jones, who was the tennis coach became the Athletic Director. Someone has to take over for him so Jones asked1 Light to fill the position. Coach Light accepted the offer and led the team for 14 years. The game of basketball has chang­ ed a lot since the coaching days of Bob Light. He said the major dif­ ference he saw was in the individual talents of the players. "The kids get up higher, they're quicker, they have more individual moves. If you throw the ball into the basket area they can really do a lot with the ball. They're almost impossible to stop." As for the recently installed rules of the 45-second shot clock and the threepoint shot, Coach Light is in favor of both. He thinks the distance of the three-point shot is just righi and he has been strongly infavor of the 45-second shot clock for years. "Every sport has rules against stall­ ing. Basketball tried to incorporate many rules to stop teams from stalling but the answer came with the 45-second shot clock. If you can't move the ball and get a decent play in 45 seconds, you have no business be­ ing out there. The competition is to good for you." Bob Light is now the color com­ mentator for the basketball coverage of the Mountaineer Sports Network. He got started in this by being at the right place at the right time. He was in Raleigb tt) scout a termis'Vl hyer wlfVn the Apps were playing N.C. State in basketball. He was asked to do color for the game and has been doing it Submarine Special Fisheimaifc™ Fillet Sandwich With Large Fries And Large Soil Drink Offer good at participating restaurants for a limited time after regular breakfast hours.

"In my opinion, Don Munson is going to be a national TV commentator. He's got a great voice, super delivery, and he stays right up with the play." Light has been doing color for around 12 years and he real­ ly enjoys doing the games because it keeps him close to basketball and the ASU program. I asked Light if he thought the Mountaineers could make the NCAA Tournament. Here's his reaction. "No, I think they (the NCAA) will only take one team from the Southern Conference. That's been the history of the NCAA and the Southern Con­ ference. Until the Southern Con­ ference representative can win some games in the tournament the NCAA will only take one team." As for the Southern Conference Tournament, Light feels good about ASU's chances and said that if he had to pick a team to win it he would pick the Moun­ taineers. Coach Bob Light certainly seems to have found a home in Boone and has become a very important part of ASU's present as well as its pastj South Slope Condo on Hwy. 105, owner anxious due to health to get an of­ fer.'

Come out and vote SGA presidential/vice presidential elections will be held today and tomorrow, and the Edward/Wooten ticket is by far the best choice People may criticize Edwards and Wooten for their "lack of SGA experience," however, this is actually in their favor. By electing people outside the SGA system to office, innovative ideas are more likely to be generated. As for the platforms of the two groups, there are several similarities • however the Edwards/Wooten idea to expand the Appalachian express Card is as achievable as it is innovative. "The proposal is to create a meal card and express card in one The card could pay for parking tickets, athletic and programming tickets and paperback books. Often in these student elections, unrealistic goals are set which deceive the average voter by creating false promises. The Edwards/Wooten ticket does not attempt to deceive voters into expecting miracles: The debate was broadcast live over WASU, and for the first half of the debate the listeners probably had to pinch themselves once in a while to keep from dozing off. It was that dull. The candidates spent thirty minutes rehashing what their campaign pam­ phlets already said. This all changed after the "halftime" break. The first question when the debate resumed came from Shelley Kaehr, Editor-in-chief of The Ap­ palachian. It was directed at the Chris Larson/Joe Panzer ticket and asked, in effect, if Panzer's DWI convictions had any effect on their decision to sup­ port the "tipsy-taxi" and "designated driver" pro­ grams. Panzer responeded by saying he had paid his debt to society, and wanted to move forward. Lar­ son's comment was, "Thank you for one more 'cheap shot', Shelley." Larson went on to say that he thought it was wrong to bring up someone's past in this situation, and the debate should stick to the platforms. 1 know Chris Larson. He is a very nice guy. Frank­ ly, I was a little shocked at his comment towards my boss. I can only say that I think the question was warranted, and that the students have the right to know about a candidate's legal record before placing * Develop unity among classes by establishing class representatives * To expand on the Appalachian Express Account " Improvements to the University Health Clinic ' To improve overall safety of the students through Mountaineer Escort, Service and ASU Security To form a committee to study campus beautification To expedite the ongoing process of gaining Greek housing for fraternities and sororities Revise calendar schedule and planning committee To amend the Boone noise ordinance so that it is acceptable and beneficial to both Appalachian students and the Boone community. The statement on Greek housing, for example, does not suggest Greek housing will automatically be built during their tenure in office. It does, however, encourage the ongoing research and committe work that is being put into the project. Our university is continually being stagnated by "bureaucratic red tape, ' and only by creating new ideas and presenting them in a respon­ sible manner can students expect to make positive changes at ASU.

KAEHR Editor in Chief As anyone who is not blind, deaf and a shut-in knows, we have a stu­ dent election coming up this week. This article is an analysis of the four candidates, from my point of view, for those of you who are playing catch-up ball, so to speak. The two tickets are Chris Larson for president, Joe Panzer for vicepresident— the white-on-blue posters—and Brad Edwards for presi­ dent, -Patrick Wooten for vicepresident—the blue-on-white posters. The Larson/Panzer ticket has suf­ fered from the rap that it's pretty onedimensionally Greek. I'm not prepared to accept this. Granted that Chris Larson is currently the InterFraternity Council president, but he has still been involved with WASU and SGA. Even if the Larson/Panzer power base does seem to be Greek, I submit that it should not be. Joe, at least according to their brochure, has been pretty much onedimensionally SGA. Then again, this isn't necesarily a bad thing, consider­ ing that the vice-president is the one on the ticket that most closely interacts with SGA. And, while I Jislike getting too ad hominem a concern about Joseph Panzer has presented itself that I feel should be addressed here. This very real concern is that he has been arrested for drunk driving. I am thoroughly satisfied that he repents his actions and has paid his debt to society; it has been some time since his last arrest, and there are planks in the Larson/Panzer platform that sup­ port increased measures to combat drunk driving. This should not affect an evaluation of Mr. Panzer's posi­ tions at all; just as with John Tower, he has adequately proven his ability' It is a statement, however clear, about the nature of Mr. Panzer himself, and how it affects your voting is up to you It is my opinion that in the debate held last week, [his issue was not handled well by Chris Larson. Instead of dealing with the issue, Mr. Larson got very upset, accusing Appalachian Editor Shelly Kaehr of a "cheap shot and clouding the campaign with rumors and irrelevant issues. The problem^ is that it is relevant, and Larson s hostility was more obfuscating than an honest, fully detailed discussion would have been. In addition, it does sort of bother me that, as I understand it, Chris would just vacate his elected office as IFC president if successful in the SGA presidential bid. I find it difficult to justify the abdication of such respon­ sibility for another post. I hope thai' have misunderstood the circumstances. The real rap on the Edwards/ Wooten ticket is that neither Brad not Patrick have lengthy experience with SGA. Both do have extensive experience with a variety of other organizations on campus, and have done much in the short time of their SGA involvement. Questions about certain of Patrick Wooten's activities in SGA were raised at the debate, but I thought he dealt with t heif thoroughly and effectively; ask member of either campaign for details. Please understand that this is all my opinion. Go out and find peop^ wearing buttons or distributing cam­ paign literature.

Margrit Kuratli ASU Box 5632 Newspaper needs more diversity : To the Editor: It seems to me the opinion page in the Appalachian is a bit one-sided. Lei me explain. Most of the articles written by resident columnists appear to agree on almost every point. On the issue of whether a woman has a right to choose to have an abortion, most of fc columnists say yes. On capital punishment, no. Homosexuality, de­ tent sexual behavior or disgusting mental disease? The majority would it's okay. And my favorite, whether the Bible is (a) a supreme t being-inspired piece of literature or (b) a jumbled, mixed-up, mistranslated piece of garbage that could be better used as a doorstop. Ninety-nine percent of Appalachian columnists surveyed chose b. Now, please, I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion. I'm just stating what I see to be an injustice. If all the columnists agree on every­ thing, that leaves the nonAppalachian staff to pick up the slack. It seems, however, that you folks are trying to stir up more let­ ters to the editor by printing those dumb (believe it or not, I'm being kind using that word) articles byMark Latendresse. Get a columnist who disagrees, somewhat if not totally with the rest of the staff. I guarantee more students will read The Appalachian. If you don't, you should consider changing the name of this particular section of the paper to the "One Opinion Page." Sincerely, Daryl Harris ASU Box 06086 The Appalachian prints it all To the Editor: Thursday's "Insomnia" article in the Appalachian has inspired con­ siderable comment at the campus office where I have a part-time job. Some people seem to feel that aplicit sexuality shouldn't appear in icollege newspaper. However, the trticle isn't actually about sex, but sexism, relationships, and power, fck any sociology instructor you should happen to see. About the charge that this sort of article doesn't belong in a college newspaper—well, what does? Some rah-rah for the home team, and an administrative official telling us how good we have it here? If the free and honest exchange of ideas doesn't belong in education, I'm in the wrong career field. All humanity is part of me, and I want to know what others are think­ ing.

I believe I speak for many others when I say "Who really cares what you do and/or think when you have sex?" No one wants to hear what goes on when people have sex.

Woods By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Sports Editor Sparky Woods, head football coach for Appalachian State Univer­ sity for the past five years has been named the head football coach of the University of South Carolina. The hiring was announced at a press con­ ference held on Tuesday. Woods, who led ASU to its first Southern Conference Championship, will replace Joe Morrison, who died of a heart attack earlier this month. Athletic Director Jim Garner had nothing but praise for Woods. "It's great for our program. We have our two former coaches as head coaches of North Carolina (Mack Brown) and South Carolina," Garner said. Many of the players had mixed emotions about Woods leaving the Mountaineers. "You cannot blame him. I wish him the best," quarter­ back Bobby Fuller said. Sophomore Mark Perry felt the same way. "You want to climb to the top, big-time football. I wish him luck," Perry said. Board of Trustees of USC, it will be a four- or five-year deal with a rollover clause for approximately $300,000. This would be his base salary and would not include incentives. At Appalachian State, Woods was paid a base salary of $60,000 a year. "I am very excited about the opportunity," Woods saiu. "We nave three basic goals: graduation, win football games and have fun while doing it," Woods said. Woods agreed to the job without even seeing the contract. "King (Dixon, USC Athletic Director) told me we would have a contract," Woods said. Garner said a nationwide search would be conducted in order to find a replacement. "It started yesterday (Monday) after he left. It is in full growth," Garner said. Already in the first day of the open­ ing, Garner has been swarmed with over 50 calls asking about the job. "I think this speaks highly of our pro­ gram," Garner said. Garner hopes the search will not take too long. "1 would hope to name a coach within two weeks. I will know "South Carolina people don't know how lucky they are. " HEAD FOOTBALL COACH Woods is the new head football of South Carolina. LEAVING: coach of Sparky University Woods' new salary at USC has not ^e.en E'rialized but acording to Michael J.

The president works with the administration—and currently I'm president of (ASU) Am­ bassadors and I've worked with the administration all year long on dif­ ferent issues and topics." Why do you want to be Student Government Vice President? Wooten—"During my three years at the university I've been involved in diverse organizations ranging from ASU Ambassadors—admitting new students, BACCHUS—which helps educate the students we have current­ ly, as well as working with the ROTC department. I'm working with Inter­ varsity Christian Fellowship. I've diversified myself—spread myself out around the campus—trying to get in­ volved in as many things as I could and I feel that being vice-president of student government I can bring out all the diversity—I can unify it—I can have a unified diversity of this campus because each person on campus is uni­ que, the 120 organizations on this campus are unique and I feel in that position I can unify them so that we can bring about the best in Ap­ palachian—the best in the people on this campus so we can just move it ahead. As the new logo says 'we can make it above all.' " Why is the Edwards/Wooten ticket the best to vote for? Edwards—"I believe that both Patrick and 1 have the qualities to be effective and hold those positions in the student government association.

We felt South Carolina would be it. We wish he were staying," running back Ritchie Melchor said. "We have three basic goals: graduation, win football games and have fun while doing it." Sparky Woods, former ASU head football coach South Carolina's announcement of Woods capped off an interview-filled weekend for the Gamecocks. Furman coach Jimmy Satterfield, Marshall coach George Shaump, and Southern Mississippi coach Hudson Hallman along with Woods were all seen in Columbia apparently to be inter­ viewed by Dixon. Sources say Woods and Satterfield were the leading candidates but Woods' youth (Woods is 35 years old) was a strong advantage. Even now the players still have a hard time talking about it. "Everyone is low. A sick feeling at first," center Jay Killen said. Some of the players were not sur­ prised after remembering what Coach Woods had told them. "Coach Woods was always getting interviews for good jobs. And he always said that he would leave if it was in his best But for the Mountaineer fans who are really upset with the departure of Woods, Garner puts all in perspec­ tive.

The measure was published in the Federal Register, the list of regula­ tions and rules the government pro­ duces to enforce federal laws. The drug rule, which will automatically go into effect if it is not formally challenged within 90 days, was created to implement the Drug-Free Work Place Act of 1988. It asks that all federal grant recipients like weapons manufacturers, highway builders and apparently even students work in "drug-free" environments. Applying it to students, American Council on Education Sheldon Steinbach said the campus presidents' lob­ bying group in Washington, D.C. was "a strained interpretation (of the law) that strikes me as being beyond the pale of what was intended." The U.S. Dept. of Education, which issued the rule, disagrees. Somehow, students will have to swear they are not drug abusers. "We're deciding if students will have to sign a separate form or just check a box on the grant application form," department spokesman Jim Bradshaw said. "But they will have to certify they are drug-free and not using the funds for drug-related activities." If students lie on the form, Brad­ shaw said, they could lose their grants. Still, no one knows how to deter­ mine if they are lying. "We don't have the resources to check on every student," Bradshaw said. "We'll base our- information on tips that students have gotten involved in drugs or on newspaper articles about drug activities," Brad­ shaw said. Past convictions for drug posses­ sion or sales shouldn't affect a student's Pell Grant application, Bradshaw said, but it is an issue the Education Department is considering. "If the money is going to be used for drugs, then it's better if they hand it to someone who would make good use of it," said a Pell Grant recipient at San Diego City College, who asked that her name not be used. "It's great," she said. But Organizing Director of the United States Student Association Kevin Harris in Washinoton, D.C., said the regulations are "an invasion of the personal right to privacy," and a poor signal for the new Bush administration to send to students. "I think you'll hear a large outcry from students in opposition to this regulation," Harris said. "It's another signal of Big Brother looking down on the student population. They want to blame youth for the drug problem. It's crazy." In fact, students are not the only ones being attacked in the war on drugs. In early January, Florida Gov. Bob Martinez announced that, start­ ing in August, all new state employees—including faculty members, administrators, staffers and student workers at State University System of Florida campuses—would have to pass drug tests before being hired. Testing will affect ASU By JENEI.LE AUTRY AssiManl News Editor In response to the Federal Govern­ ment's announcement on Feb. 3 that it will start asking students who receive Pell Grants to prove they do not use drugs, Financial Aid Director Steve Gabriel said the move would affect all students who receive finan­ cial aid. "It (the new ruling) would not only apply to Pell Grants, but to Perkin's Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), guaranteed student loans and work study," Gabriel said. According to Gabriel, any student who is found guilty of using or selling illegal substances will jeopardize his or her chances of receiving financial aid. "If they go to court and are con­ victed (on drug-related charges), it will be up to the judge to say whether or not they can receive financial aid," Gabriel said. At this time Gabriel is uncertain how the government will ensure financial aid recipients are not using drugs. "I'm not sure what they (the government) are going to do," he said, "but, 1 don't think they're going to go out and test all students." Gabriel said Student Aid Report (SAR) forms will have a place on them for students to certify that they do not use or sell drugs. "We don't have the final reading on the legislation. We just found out about it last week," Financial Aid Counselor Kit Olson said. "It's prob­ ably going to affect all students, but we will not know for sure until we get the final reading." According to Gabriel, that will be in a couple of weeks. �2 Edwards Larson Continued from Page 1 Continued from Page 1 for the students and we have the leadership qualities.

Written by O'Neal in collaboration with Ron Castine and Glenda Lind­ say, "Junebug Jabbo Jones" is a compilation of tales, anecdotes, and aphorisms collected by O'Neal and others during the Southern Civil Rights Movements in the 1950's and 60 s, resulting in the character who is a composite chronicler of the times, a carrier of the stories and characters that so often pass anonymously into folk tradition. Whenever someone summed up an experience in a unique way or when some ingenious black person outwitted powerful people, the event was cited as an example of how Junebug gets things done. The character draws freely from the rich and varied tradition of AfroAmerican oral literature. John O'Neal, playwright, actor, and director, earned degrees in English and philosophy from Southern Illinois University in 1962. It was there that he became involved in the Civil Right Movement. This led him to work as a Field Secretary for the Student Non-Violent Coord­ inating Committee, a Field Program Director for the Committee for Racial Justice of the United Church of Christ, and a Southern Regional Con­ sultant for the Episcopal Church. In 1963, he co-founded the Free Southern Theater, whose goal was to "make an art about freedom, a freedom through art." His work in the theater has been recognized by numerous awards over the years, in­ cluding the Louisiana Artists' Fellowship, Rockefeller Foundation playwriting grants, and Ford Founda­ tion travel-study grants. Edith Oliver of the New Yorker called John O'Neal ".. .a very funny man and a great actor," and the Los Angeles Weekly said, "He is a marvelously skilled performer." The San Francisco Chronicle applauded: "With the utmost economy of means, John O'Neal brilliantly, often hilariously, takes us into the life of Junebug and his friends."

Needless to say, these comments were to me like spitting on the Bible is to a Southern Baptist. How could anyone actually let the words, "Morrissey whines too much" pass their lips? And in my presence yet! I closed my ears to these blasphemous utterings and said my Smiths prayers even harder at night. It was then that I decide to become a Smithonary and devote my life to spreading Morrissey's word to those who hadn't seen the light. My trademark phrase became "I am human and I need to be loved! Just like everybody else does!" I broke bread and sang "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" in the school cafeteria to the heathens in sore need of conversion. I did a dramatic reading of "These Things Take Time" in PE class when I was reprimanded for taking too long to dress out. When I was called to the principal's office for disrupting class, I announced that 1 was going to "give up education as a bad mistake." My teachers hated me. But in the back of my mind, I knew I was unlovable. Nobody had to tell me. I became more and more obnoxious, and soon had no friends and everybody hated me-JUST LIKE MORRISSEY!!!!!!!! We were kindred spirits!!! I decided that I didn't need any friends. Let them listen to their Journey records and rot in a stagnant mainstream hell! I would show them. I devoted all of my time to Morrissizing myself. I read Oscar Wilde. 1 thought James Dean was "the bee's knees." I brooded. But in my comfort and security, I didn't realize that the snide comments about my God, Morrissey, had cut more deeply than. I allowed myself to believe. They were lurking in the back of my mind. They were festering. They were slowly seeping forward. The first evidence that something was rotten in Manchester was when "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" made me laugh. I felt so guilty. I was participating in blasphemy! I was contradicting the very bedrock of my beliefs! What was wrong with me??!?!? The awful truth became more and more apparent. I actually began to believe that "Mor­ rissey whines too much." I even stop­ ped liking Rod McKuen! Bauhaus and Joy Division were stealing my af­ fections. My jaundiced friend, sadly enough, was right. My play world came crashing down around me! The final blow came when I was innocent­ ly reading Rolling Stone one happy summer day, and saw that The Queen is Dead was number 25 on the chart of yukky radio music! I almost burst in­ to tears! I couldn't like a band that was thai accessible! I slowly realized that the last three years of my life had been wasted! The fact that Morrissey was writing songs like "Shoplifters of the World Unite" was like the knife cutting my head as I entered the world. I was forced into reality just as I had been forced out of the womb. I even started saying snide things about Morrissey just to cover my hurt. But I soon realized that I could not ignore something that had meant so much to me in the past. I listened to my Smiths records in moderation, and I still kept Morrissey on my wall. He is still on my wall, modified with a moustache, and I now feel that I have a healthy regard for the Smiths. I'm sure Mor­ rissey realizes he whines and is able to laugh about it. After all, he is making money. I "wouldn't say no" to fif­ teen minutes with Morrissey, but the room might spontaneously combust with two of the world's best whiners in it. We could have contests to see who could whine the loudest. We could even try to shatter glass with our whiney voices. Morrissey, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. You are laughing, aren't you????? JUNEBUG JABBO JONES: Tonight at Broyhill Concert Hall, actor John O Neal brings life to the character Junebug Jabbo Jones in his critically acclaimed one-man show. ASU fiction spotlight Mysteries of Robie's life continue to unfold B> I.EATHA L, FIELDS Appalachian Staff Writer The year was 1963, the November air was crisp, and the passenger train chugged and screeched to a halt by the small terminal in Bristol, Tennessee, white clouds choking out of the smokestack. Wide, rust-colored leaves danced down to the dry grass as a sharp breeze whistled around the open .windows of the passenger train. On the platform, a short, fat woman stood, with a couple of large grocery bags by her feet, and a Hat hat with plastic flowers on her head. She was waiting to board the 901 train, the train on which Robie was now riding, to go to Monterey, California to visit her niece. Robie spoke to the woman as he stepped off the train. "Howdy, Mrs. Bramer," he said through a toothy smile "I hope you're doin' well." Mrs. Bramer turned, squinting in the sun to see the face of the person who had spoken to her. Recognizant, she, too, smiled. Her front two teeth were missing, but the black cavernous gap left a space for her little pink tongue to dart out pleasantly, in her own form of greeting. "Why, Robie Caudill! Law's the day I thought I'd see you again! We all thought that when you went off to that school up north that you'd never be able to find your way home. What's the name of that school anyway, boy?" "Princeton," Robie replied. swallowing hard. "Well, you like it there? What'fe they teachin' you?" Mrs. Bramer placed a plump hand on Robie's forearm. Not a whole lot of anything, was the first thought that came to Robie's mind, but he knew he couldn't tell Mrs. Bramer that. So instead he said, "Engineering. And...and genetics. And mathematics." "Genetics?" Mrs. Bramer screeched. "What in the world is that?" "Well..." Robie struggled for the words to make the woman under­ stand. He knew that she, like most of Robie's neighbors, had never gone to high school. Although she was a wonderful, caring woman, she could barely make out a shopping list. "Well. At that moment, the train whistle sounded and the spell was broken. Mrs. Bramer picked up her bags and stepped out to head for the train. She turned back to Robie. "Boy, tell your father I said hello and that he should take care of himself. You hear?" "Yes, ma'am," Robij said. He picked up his suitcase and turned towards the exit doors. "You have a nice trip." He heaved a sigh of relief. He knew no one here would under­ stand The three-minute cure for insomnia at night By LORI DEAN Appalachian Slaff Writer Hands groped for her in the darkness, and she feigned sleep for a moment in the vain hope that he would go away. "Casey?" Had she actually been asleep, the loud whisper would have awakened her. After debating a split second she gave in, making her body pliant with an accompanying sigh. Belter io put up with Jay's attentions for two minutes than have him pout for two days. "Ttmrii'm?" "You awake?"Jie asked, his body shifting closer as his hands ran across her torso and along her thighs in the mandatory thirty seconds of foreplay before he rolled over on top of her. "Yeah," she murmured, arching her back and lifting her breasts in his direction. He would take it as a sign of arousal, and she got a chance to stretch. Besides, if she didn't go ahead and offer him the stupid things, he would hunt them down. Why he was so obsessed with two mounds of fatty tissue that could, under the right circumstances—God forbid — produce milk, was a complete mystery to her. He seemed to be under the misguided impression that fondling them sent her through the roof. When had this gotten boring? Probably about the same time he began using her as a cure for insom­ nia. She wasn't exactly angry about it—irritation was a better term. They had been living together for five months now, and every day, she liked him less. At first she had been madly, well, not in love—more like hormonal overdrive—and she hadn't been able to get enough of his firm, tanned physique. They had that in common at least. They both loved his body. Except these days she had to work up her admiration; his limited—not to mention selfish—repertoire in bed had taken the edge off her enthusiasm. She shifted to accommodate his weight as he settled on top of her, his mouth locking onto hers like a suction cup as his tongue began diligently swabbing the back of her throat. This particular practice of his was helpful in a way, because ror the moment she didn't have to pretend to gasp for breath. She had the sudden urge to crack the alarm clock over his head and knock him out, but she resisted. This wasn't going to take long. He began rocking back and forth, releasing her mouth and burying his face in her neck with a sigh. She wrapped her arms and legs around him, kneading his back as he moaned softly and waited. Not for the first time, she wished she were gay. Women would be more con­ siderate, wouldn't they? Or at least easier to communicate with? She'd probably never know. Unfortunately, she'd never found herself attracted enough to women to try to initiate a relationship. Or maybe she just felt safer with what she knew. Why she felt saler with males sporting overgrown egos was a question she was as yet unable to answer. Alter her last fiasco ot a relationship, she'd sworn off men for a year, certain that lesbianism was the way to go. Once she discovered she didn't have the guts for it, she'd found herself celibate instead. It wasn't as though she had had scads of lovers and became jaded by it all. Hell, she wasn't even into double digits yet. But it was always the same. After the initial excitement wore off (which was usually in the middle of the first romp) it was nothing but sweaty, awkward, hard work. Just like this. She methodically ran her hands up and down his back, dig­ ging her nails in briefly-from time .to time. And she moaned appropriately, Had she ted the cat? Yes, of course she had. The front door was locked and the heat was on sixty. He mum­ bled something incoherent like "Oh baby" against her throat, briefly pull­ ing her out of her thoughts. She wondered if he had any idea how hard it vvas to pretend she enjoyed being a sperm receptacle. Probably not. Wouldn t believe it even if he did guess. After all, she was lucky enough to be the receptacle for his sperm. She stared at the ceilina as she automatically moved her hips, and wondered if the guy upstairs had a waterbed. Suppose it broke. Would his insurance cover the water damage done to her stuff? The pace began to pick up and she clutched him tightly, moaning with fake excitement to help him along. Ten...nine...eight...seven. s i x . . .f i v e . . . f o u r . . . t h r e e . . . two . .one! Finally. She released him with a sigh, happy for him to roil away and leave her alone. Sex was a selfish thing at best, she knew that. But w hen it got so bad that she dread­ ed it more than her yearly dental visit, something had to give. The question was what. Talking wasn't exactly Jay s lorte, and even if she got him to talk, nothing would be his fault. If she was bored in bed, she was simply repressed. Or on the rag. No way could ii be him. His dick was in the riglu place and it got hard when it was supposed to, so everything was all light on his end. With a heavy sigh, she rolled off the wet spot and went to sleep. �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y, FEBRUARY 23, 1989 Performing Arts^ Forum Series A Division of Student Programs Outdoor Programs In March c APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY APPALACHIAN STATE LMVERS1TY March 4-11 • March 16 • March 18 • MARCEL MARCEAU Wednesday, March 1 Rock Climbing, $6.00 Farthing Auditorium, 8 p. m.

"Bill knows everyone," Billy said."He even knew everyone at the Bull Durham Blues Festival we went to in Durham." When the Alligators get together to work on a new song, it's a group effort. Billy makes up the bass part, Mike adds the guitar, Scott adds the rhythm, and then Billy does a lot of (be w'ofd^ HeVTdrnbe s6ngr"Raihy Day," "Troubles, Troubles" and "Mad Dog Blues." "Mad Dog Blues" is a great tune; I asked Billy about its origin. Billy said he used to party with this chick who was "the only girl in the world who would drink Mad Dog" with him. So one night he says he drank "about a gallon of Mad Dog and had to get up and give tours of Coffey the next morning. Mad Dog Blues is just about the party and the hangover the next day." The Alligators have put out one demo tape entitled the "AlligatorsRainy Day" and plan to do a fulllength album when they get more originals. Billy said things have been difficult this year with Bill in Charlotte, Mike in Kernersville, and Scott in High Point, plus Ch'is is very active in his fraternity, and Billy has his job at the Food Court. "The future is kind of uncertain," Billy said. The group has played several shows on the road lately. "One of our best places to play is the Berkley Cafe in Raleigh," Billy said. The Alligators have also played The Cave in Chapel Hill, and the City Stage in Greensboro. Billy said of Greensboro that it's "not a blues town, and those weren't very memorable shows." The band has also "never had much luck in Winston-Salem. This is the wrong state to be a blues man in." The Alligators did participate in the Greensboro Blues Preservation Socie­ ty competition and they made it into the finalist round. They do admit to being frustrated about not being able to get out of the state. Mike wants'to go north to Cleveland or D.C., or maybe to a southern city like Mem­ phis; somewhere with a more cosmopolitan atmosphere. Billy said the group has never done a Lynyrd Skynyrd tune. "It's tough to be in N.C. and not play "Free bird." As for the Alligators' dedicated following, Billy feels that in the begin­ ning people came because they knew Bill, and then they would tell their friends, and their friends would come. The group has also always had a loyal following from Coffey Hall. "We love Boone," Billy said, "But we don't want to always be falling back on Boone." When the group first got going it didn't have a name, so the guys were sitting around in Mike's room, and he had this plastic alligator named Doug that sat on top of his TV. They had been trying for days to think up a name, and hadn't had any luck, so now they were just sitting around get­ ting stupid. "Mike in his stupidity starts pointing at things around the room," Billy said, " 'How 'bout the Beds? How 'bout the Desks?' We were all laughing, and Mike points to the alligator on his TV. 'How 'bout the Alligators?' he asks. We all quit laughing and looked at each other." The Alligators usually put on a great show, but Billy says, "We are probably the goofiest band in Boone. We're goofballs." The Alligators will be at Sollecito's Friday night. Cover is $3, and the show will begin around 10:00. Film is a self-tribute Prince remains the King of Nasty By PRUITT ALLEN Appalachian Slaff Writer Last Wednesday I went to see a light show called Sing o' the Times. When I was walking out, someone told me the background music was done by Prince. Well, maybe—it was just that I kept getting caught up in the neon, lasers, smoke, extensive recreations of Paris, wrecked cars, chain-linked fences, weird guitars and what might have been modern art shaped like a drumset. Once, through the glare, I think I saw a girl danc­ ing—copulating?—and maybe there was a guy playing guitar. Also there was some white man in a suit four If you are on the fringes of being I zero, or you have a delicate| p y°u should take precautionary ePs against falling into either faux I s trap.

The pyrotechnics really flared up right then, though, so I can't be sure if what happened afterwards was a con­ cert or a series of zooms and pans over a Poison video stage gone haywire. Too bad, too. There might have been some good music in there somewhere. Okay, so it wasn't quite that bad. Bad, however, is operative word in any description of the overblown, nausea-inducing visual display Prince progressed toward total control of all aspects of his musical environment, and this, combined with the fascinating musical directions he takes, can make for quite an ex­ perience. It becomes more difficult to retain control in a live environment, however, and the tour must have been much less structured than it appeared on screen. The stage show was also crammed with too much stuff. Prince seemed to have cleaned out both his attic and Prince is an artist in one of the best senses of the word. I think he has a dear sense of what he wants out of his music, and he is excellent at achieving precisely that. s°cial , Ite only time either faux pas is toptable is when they are used in "Junction.

The show starts at 9 p.m. and tickets are $2. If you're 21, you can bring either one six-pack or one bottle of wine with vou. Prince used as a background for the tour that supported his album, Sign o' the the Times, upon which the movie of the same name is based. Apart from the stage, the show was astounding. It was comprised just of material from Sign o' the Times, which wasn't by any means a liability. The songs crackled with wit, power, and huge sexual energy, demonstrated admirably by Prince and Cat, the dancer mentioned above, in songs like "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" and the opener, "Sign o' the Times." A show full of rave-up power. Prince is an artist in one of the best senses of the word. I think he has a clear sense of what he wants out of his music, and he is excellent at achieving precisely that. I find, though, that I don't always like what he does. His artistic vision is too obscure and densely packed for my tastes at times, too direct at others. Also, there's this: If Elvis were alive, twenty-eight, black and trying too hard, he'd closely resemble Prince in concert. And I'm not that big an Elvis fan. Sign o' the Times is an attempt to put on film, and perhaps expand upon, a stage show crammed past the gills with energy, excitement and outrageous talent. Over the last few albums and tours. Prince has steadily most of the neon on the Moulin Rouge in an attempt to create some sort of atmosphere, but he succeeded only in crowding out the music. The camera work didn't help much—it was too close or too far out to really make you feel a part of the show—artsy carried too far. It did show the performers off well, when it showed them. The performances were exemplary on all accounts, and included a horn section, two keyboard players and Shelia E. on drums (about whom Prince says, "Not bad—for a girl."). A dancer named Cat provided both a foil for Prince and a focal point amid the maelstrom that was this op­ pressively overblown stage setup. Much can be said about Prince and his role in the show. It was obvious he was the focus of the show—he was down front center, acting as guru and conductor for the rest of the troupe. He still squeals like a man caught in a vise, and as for the rest of his perfor­ mance, well...he doesn't dance as well as James Brown used to, he's not a5 good a guitar player as Jimi Hendrix was, and he can't work a mic stand like Fred Astaire worked a coat rack. Then again, look at the comparisions you have to make in order to try to define him. I'd say he's not doing too badly. �The I UNION Hot Rock -TV- Soul Whatchamacallits Saturday, 10 p.m. Klondike Friday, 10 p.m. BAHAMA ADVENTURE ORGANIZER GOES FREE SPRING BREAK SPECIAL YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SAILBOAT WITH CAPTAIN, SAIL TO NASSAU, ISLAND HOPPING.

In 1983 Sparky Woods was hired as the offensive coordinator at Ap­ palachian State. When he was hired as head coach in 1984, Woods became the youngest head coach in both Divi­ sion I-A and Division I-AA college loot ball. His first Appalachian team finished with a record of 4-7 but they came close to winning a lot of the games and they only lost to Wake Forest by a score of 17-13. 1985 was a much better year for the Apps and Coach Woods. The record improved to 8-3. It was the best record the team had accomplished in ten years. The team was undefeated at home. 1 he only three losses were to After college, Woods went straight into coaching and his first job was at Tennessee in 1976. He was an assis­ tant coach and worked with the defensive secondary. The next season he went to join the staff at Kansas and in 1978, Woods went to North Alabama to coach the defensive backs. Coach Woods finally became stationary for a few years when he joined the Iowa State Cyclones. Woods coached there for three years South Carolina, Wake Forest, and Furman, the eventual Southern Con­ ference Champion. The Apps Finished the season ranked twelfth in the NCAA Division I-AA poll. They also topped the nation in scoring defense and the takeaway-giveaway ratio. The year was good enough to earn Coach Woods first Southern Conference Coach of the Year award. But the best was yet to come. In 1986 the Mountaineers took the Southern Conference by storm. They won the championship and posted a league mark of 6-0-1. The over all record of 9-2-1 was enough to tie the school record for most victories in a season. The Apps had the best record of any college football team in the state in '86. Coach Woods led the team to the Division I-AA playoffs where they were defeated in the first round by Nicholls State 28-26. Woods once again was awarded the Southern Conference Coach of the Year award and was also named the Kodak Region Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Associa­ tion. The teams continued to improve and the 1987 team was the best thus far. The team once again won the Southern Conference Championship, Mountaineer wrestlers finish season with two wins Other winners included: Jevon Morris, 126-lb.; Dave Sloan, 142-lb.; Corey Creech, 158-lb.; Mike Maxam, 167-lb.; and Chris Zwilling, 190-lb. In the 134-lb. class, Kevin LaPlante finished fourth, as did Ed Duncan in the 177-lb. class. Heavyweight Rock Burch lost a close match in overtime and finished second. "We wrestled real well, and we were pleased with everyone's effort here," head wrestling coach Paul Mance said of his team's perform­ ance. The Mountaineers' final regular season dual match was against The Citadel, and ASU responded by defeating the Bulldogs 32-9. Calloway kept his dual match win­ ning streak intact by winning his match 21-6. Mance says he feels pretty good going into the Southern Conference Championships. Appalachian Photo by Koith Harrison •WRESTLING: An Appalachian wrestler throws down a TennChattanooga opponent in a match held earlier this season. By DAVID LAWRENCE Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU wrestling team concluded its regular season with two wins. One was at the Southeast Invitational and the other was against The Citadel. The Mountaineers placed first at the Southeast Invitational, beating out teams such as Duke, Campbell, Georgia Tech, and Gardner-Webb. Individually, ASU had seven wrestlers to win their weight classes, one to finish second, and two to finish fourth. Antonio Calloway continued to wrestle well as he won the 118-lb. weight class. Freshman Adrian Hines won the 150-lb. weight class as he continues to have an outstanding freshman season. "We're looking strong compared to how it looked at the beginning of the year. We knew we had a young team going in, and really depended on how they performed. Everyone, especially the young people, have really come on strong." Others winning at The Citadel match were: Seniors Sloan, Maxam, and Zwilling; freshmen Morris, Hines, and Creech; and junior Burch. The Mountaineers are off until they begin the Southern Conference Championships on March 4. making it two years in a row that they and ten starters, Woods was left with had accomplished that feat. They also a very young team that seemed to play broke a school record for wins with differently every week. Although not 11.

After losing 31 lettermen has departed. Campus reaction normal By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Staff Writer Tuesday, the ASU campus was naturally filled with surprise because of the sudden resignation of ASU's head football coach Sparky Woods and his departure to take the head coaching job at the University of South Carolina, but the majority reaction of the students I talked to on campus were supportive of Woods' decision to leave a Division I-AA club and take a coaching job at one of the most widely respected I-A schools. "I was a bit sad and mad when I first heard of his decision," said Tripp Brown, a freshman, "but I'm happy for him and I'd be a liar if I said otherwise." Janet Avant also agreed with Brown, but followed by replying "Sparky is a great coach and I'm sure he'd do his best wherever he'd coach. Taking the South Carolina job was the best thing he could've done at the time." Woods said himself at the team meeting Mon­ day night at the Fietd House that "he was doing it for his family." Of course the question now is whether the successor to Woods, whoever that may be, will be able to keep the winning ways and the high morale the Mountaineers have brought to the players themselves and also to the university with back-toback Southern Conference champion­ ships. Susan Lee said it was a great opportunity for Woods, "but the players are probably affected by his move, so it could put a toll on the team." "I hope the team's morale isn't hit too hard," said Forrest McCormack. "The football team is a very respected one and I hope the next coach can keep winning games." Some were quite surprised that Sparky was even the favorite for the USC coaching job. In the words of Kyle Bartel, "1 was very surprised he was offered the job over Jim Satterfield (Furman's head coach) since Jim's from Lancaster, SC and also a South Carolina graduate as well. He seemed to have much more of an inside track than Sparky had. I'm very surprised." So now that our head coach has left, the attention of everyone at the athletic department must focus on the search for Sparky's replacement. When former ASU head coach and now coach at UNC Mack Brown was selected by Appalachian, he was an assistant at Louisiana State, but was hired after a nationwide search. Robert Burns said the next coach shouldn't be chosen in too much of a hurry "but maybe it would be better if someone from outside the present staff was selected." Avant summed up many students' opinions by saying "It was sad to see him leave, but I guess we wish him all the best with his job at South Carolina." Mountaineer Mania Okay, this week's question is really easy. The Mountaineer Mania Trivia question for this week is: Who will be Sparky Woods' replacement? No, just kidding. Nobody seems to know the answer to that question. This week's real question is: Name the 1981 World Series Champions. It should be a pretty easy question, especially with this hint: 1981 was Ronald Reagan's first year in office. The team that won the series that year also won the championship Reagan's last year in office. And they say sports guys don't know anything about politics. If you know the answer to this question send it to The Appalachian, ASU Box 9025 in care of the Sports Department. All entries must be postmarked by next Monday. You can also drop your entry by Workman Hall and place it in the box on the front desk. Thanks for participating and good luck.

By WILLIAM C. BALDWIN Appalachian El Cetera Editor It's 1989. Somewhere in this free country, a Christian youth group is learning the characteristics of a cult. Somehow, the fact that each of these characteristics describes their own "religion" never sinks in. The kids leave the building owned by the cult they inherited from their parents, having been successfully brainwashed and ethnocentrized, and having had their world views significantly nar­ rowed. In Sunday school last week, a little girl rRised-her hand andtasked if her BRdothist friend could go to heayen when he died. Her teacher informed her that since Buddhists were not born-again Christians, they could not go to heaven. Then she launched a tirade about "witnessing." Not too long ago, a freshman earnestly explained to me that he no longer listened to music by Madonna and Phil Collins because their songs about male/female relationships made him think sinful thoughts. I don't really think I want to know the truth behind his euphemism, but I really wanted to explain that his "sin­ ful" thoughts were probably normal (ever heard of hormones?) and not the direct result of demon possession. The recent past has presented us with new perspectives on such promi­ nent Christians as Jim and Tammy Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart and others. As they speak for God, they tell us that they have repented and have been forgiven. How do we know? Why don't they have God come forward By WILLIAM E.

It's all about faith and trust and abuse. The Bakker's abused both the faith (in God) and the trust (in the Bakker's themselves) of their electronic parish. Perhaps it has a little to do with gullibility, but these days it seems more and more as if faith and gullibility are actually the same thing. Remember, it's still 1989. A troubled young man realizes that he's a failure. He's unable to keep a good job. He did poorly in school. Frustrated about what he should do with the rest of his miserable life, he climbs a mountain. L a t e r " e v e n ­ ing, he breaks the news to his eEsfcuic mother that he "has been called to do the work of the Lord." A few weeks later, he sermonizes to a congregation from a book (best known as The King James Version) that has been willfully edited, mistranslated and censored during the past couple thousand years. His personal incompetence coupled with the gross inaccuracies of the Bible make his "message" a com­ plete farce. Brother Jim is on a campus somewhere, damning people to the eternal fires of "Ha-elll," calling peo­ ple names, experiencing more hot Bible flashes and entertaining more students with his story of how he was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ at a Van Halen concert. And I didn't even know that Jesus liked rock music. Back home at ASU, a sexually frustrated prude tells another student that "Dr. Albert Hughes needs God." Maybe Dr. Hughes' cynicism turns her off. Or maybe he turns her on, so maybe it's sort of a guilty/ horny/God thing. precedent (established by a fellow col­ umnist) of using lame analogies to make a point: just because some peo­ It astounds me that Christians are ple die in car accidents is no reason to so concerned about where the rest of give up the luxury of using a car. us choose to put our things or where Statement of fact: Many people (for you ladies) we choose to have (including/especially college students) other peoples' things put.

Maybe it's about time we saw that those of us who are obsessed with exposing the evil in others are often ignoring the evil which is present in ourselves. Christians need condoms on their noses Bush's untasty nuclear freeze &*YM TN . Humans are screwed up animals. Most animals kill only when necessary for food or to protect others. Humans kill for these reasons, but we also kill for fun, or "sport." Humans have spent so much time being the "master of the beasts" (a biblical reason for the way we act) that we have forgotten our animalistic roots. We have retained the "bad" animal instincts and discarded the "good" ones. Didn't the witch burnings in Salem teach us anything? One would think this would have put an end to militant religious fundamentalism. But no! Its stronger now than ever, with modern-day witch hunters calling for stronger laws, more "fryings" in the chair, imprisonment for those suspected of being "Satanists," and let us not forget McCarthy's "communist"-hunting. Religion and ideology are often just excuses to be evil little creatures. It seems the first real snowstorm of the year is the one most remembered. At ieast that's the case for me. Because of almost getting stuck in Boone during the recent storm, I was reminded of the snow from last year in which I did get left stranded somewhere. At that time, I was in Florida, making my way up to Winston-Salem, and I got stuck in the good oP Atlanta Airport! Here's what happened: "May I have your attention, ladies and gentlemen. The flight scheduled for Winston-Salem at 10:02 a.m. has been cancelled. Please come to the counter to make further arrangments." It was with words like those that I began my unexpected 33-hour "visit" in the Atlanta Airport. I'm sure some of you remember watching the event on your TV last January from the comfort of your living rooms and thought, "Gee, what a shame, being stuck in the airport overnight." At that time the comforts of my home were far from me. The journey, however, didn't begin that morning of January 7, 1988. the night before, my mom and I were get­ ting ready to fly out of Pensacola, Florida, where we had been visiting my sister and her family for the holidays. That Wednesday night we were scheduled to leave at 4:05 p.m. but the airplane was delayed in Texas due to an ice storm, in fact, it was delayed to the point where we would not be able to make our connecting flight out of Atlanta that night. Since my mom and I didn't want to spend the night in Atlanta (at least we thought we wouldn't have to), we decided to stay an extra night in Florida and take the first flight out to avoid the snowstorm predicted for North Carolina (we didn't think it would snow in Georgia!) Oh well... With our connecting flight nowcancelled and the snow coming down in Atlanta I went to the counter to reschedule for the next airplane north. The next one scheduled was for about 1:30 in the afternoon. Having already learned that the snow had already arrived early in North Carolina, (why didn't our plane leave yesterday?!) I knew the situation was fairly gloomy. The situation did seem a little less gloomy when my mom and I met a fellow traveler who was in very similar shoes. She was by herself trying to go to Winston-Salem also and had arrived from L.A. about two hours before us. We decided to stick together as a trio. Before lunchtime we learned our 1:30 p.m. flight had been cancelled. The next scheduled flight, not already cancelled, was 6:42 p.m. Joy, joy, joy. That meant two meals would need to be bought at the airport. Anyone who has been in an airport knows what "great" prices they have. I guess since the airlines were not going to make money because the flights were being cancelled, the cafeterias would make up the dif­ ference. The phone companies probably made a decent financial gain too, because just about everyone was call­ ing family and friends to let them know they would be late. But, I'm sure by the end of the day the hotels ended up with the biggest profit. Speaking of hotels, we didn't attempt to make reservations until after our evening flight was cancelled. Apparently, few people waited that long. All the hotels within a 40-mile radius were booked and had people on their waiting lists who were already in their lobby! After making arrangements for the earliest flight in the morning, the three of us looked for a warm area in the airport to "crash" for the evening and night. I tried to occupy my time reading and listening to my Walkman tape player. Some people were willing to make idle chit-chat, but almost everyone's patience was thin. Shortly after 10 p.m. I decided to turn-in for the night, or at least for a while. Since it was fairly warm, 1 didn't mind being without a blanket; as for a pillow, my coat was a good makeshift. Twenty minutes into my rest some guy across the way had the idea that it was time for the Tonight Show and he would be host and star. Officials managed to quiet him after several minutes. With my peace now disturbed, I got up and walked around for a few minutes. I ended up asking about the next day's flights. Ours were already See WILLIAM Pace 10 �10 THE APPALACHIAN. THURSDAY.

William Continued from Page 9 cancelled, but the 1:30 p.m. looked good. Returning to my seat, I thought this news would be better left unspoken until the morning. As I hit the floor to get some shuteye, I noticed again the logo of the airline we were flying, "We love to fly and it shows." I thought it should be changed (at least for the night) to "We love to fly, but we're not dodo birds." I had a decent night's rest and was awakened before 6 a.m. My mom and I, with our friend, went to breakfast before 8 o'clock. We then stood in line for half an hour to find out when (if?) we would be leaving that day. As we looked at the departure listings things looked hopeful; not only were airplanes coming in, they were leaving too!

Greene said after the Town Council rejected his proposal for a committee panel to do an in-depth study by a 3-2 vote, Police Chief Zane Tester decided to team up with SGA to try to do something about it. "He has an idea of wanting to work with us in SGA in trying to organize some con­ trols—some sort of permit to make it legal to have a party," Greene said. The proposal consists of ideas Greene and others developed which would make it legal for a student to obtain a permit from the Police Department to have a party, without being harrassed by the police. According to Greene, developing the pro­ posal took considerable in depth study into the legality of such an amendment such as the one being enforced. When Greene proposed the idea of hav­ ing a committee made up of both students and town residents to develop a plan for requested ordinance revisions, it was rejected by a majority vote of the Town Council. "The board is willing to look at recom­ mendations anyone has on the noise ordinance," Tester said, "but they won't change. I'm willing to sit down and work with the Council, but the board voted not to form a committee." Tester said he will do anything he can to "make the party situation better." The panel first met in December to establish a committee to come up with its own set of amendments which would allow time restrictions, a permit system, and one verbal warning. The panel would also like to vote to keep a charge off an offender's criminal record. According to Greene, the main reason for the changes is to define what the noise ordinance considers to be appropriate or inappropriate. "What we have right now is not a consistent system," Greene said. "It's too vague. The ordinance used to be sixteen pages, and now it's two." He hopes to put clearer restrictions on what is considered noise, which right now can be almost anything. Greene added this move is good for town and student community relations. The student community makes up a large portion of Boone's population Greene said, and therefore students should be considered more seriously. "1 would also like to encourage any (student) graduating and planning to stay in Boone to run for Town Council board," Greene said. He added this is a way to help solve issues such as the noise ordinance pro­ posal at hand. Parking improved By LISA GRIFFITH Appulsu-hiun Staff Writer According to Public Safety and Security Director Roy Tugman, parking on campus has improved this year due to many changes, including the addition of a freshman lot. Tugman said there have been very few complaints concerning this year's parking situation, despite the fact that the conve­ nience parking has lessened. "We have had to move more on-campus people to lots such as Greenwood, Edgewood and Horn in the West," he said. Tugman said the new State Farm lot has not been the only change. "I guess one of the first and biggest changes was that we created a freshman parking lot that holds about 800 vehicles," he said. "We also added spaces behind Broyhill. It's worked quite well. There's been strong enforcement." Tugman added there have still been violators, and that the parking has been en­ forced more stringently. In addition, towing has increased. As the number of lots and available spaces has increased other lots have been eliminated. "We lost a number of spaces in the com­ muter area, and we changed the leasing of the North lot," Tugman said. He said that while the North lot was eliminated, the commuter area vacancies added spaces for vehicles. There are some things that students can do to cope with inconvenient parking, Tugman said. "We encourage all students to take ad­ vantage of the transit system." Tugman said this year it is costing the University more money to fund the opera­ tion of the Appalcart and that students should utilize it. "It also helps parking," he added. Colleges ban calendars (CPS)—Administrators at Louisiana Col­ lege have halted sales of a fundraising calen­ dar featuring campus students in bathing suits, fearing it was giving the Baptist school a "playboy" image. Aimed at raising money for the college's chorus, the "Men of Louisiana College" calendar, which even campus President Robert L. Lynn characterized as "about as scintillating as a Sears catalog," was tame enough that the local Alexandria Daily Town Talk published a photo from it. However, the photo, which was of a male student in a hot tub with two female classmates, generated complaints. "I thought it was in very poor taste for a Christian college," Pastor of the Alpine Baptist Church Rev. Charles Hutzler said. "I was outraged. It made us look like we're liberal or something." Lynn decided to halt sales of the calendar after others advised him it could give the 800-student college, which is supported by the Louisiana Baptist Convention, a playboy image. Such images can be troublesome at schools funded by the Southern Baptist Convention. After Playboy magazine deter­ mined Mercer University, a Baptist campus, to be among the top "party schools" in the nation in 1987, literabsts in the Georgia Baptist Convention mounted an ultimately unsuccessful campaign to replace Mercer's trustees with more conservative church members.

Vppalachian Staff Writer WINTER WONDERLAND: After several weeks of unusually warm weather, snow lovers can once again enjoy their favorite cold weather pastimes. Boone and the surrounding area was blanketed with the heaviest snowfall of the season this past weekend. Accumulations range across Watauga County from 8 to 12 inches. The heavy snowfall resulted from a storm that dumped freezing precipita­ tion across the state. Area ski slopes breathed a sigh of relief as the cold temperatures and snow gave new life to the disappointing ski season. The > slopes were not the only place where -*1 people played in the white stuff.

They sat out back of the school in the bed of s4x4 shooting birds. No, not 'rilh their hands, with their guns. Well, here comes Cupid. Billy said, "Damn! Dat's da more biggest thang I ever seen!

Billy and John were rapidly approaching. Cupid pulled back on his bow and did the only thing he could. He knew it was wrong, but he had no choice. BAM! "Yeeeeeeoooooowwww!" Billy screamed! "Shit!

Simple solution, he "Fish Heads": Barnes and Barnes Aren't skinheads the most fun peo­ ple in the world? You saw that infamous Geraldo episode. Robert Heick, the leader of a California organization of young Nazis with thick-soled boots who despise (and fear) anyone of a different cultural, ethnic, or racial background, got down and dirty with Geraldo. It was really only a good-natured tussle, according to the media. A friend of mine had an encounter with a Nazi skinhead in Charleston, South Carolina. My friend spoke with him for an hour, and told me that he seemed out of place amidst the bleached Bon Jovi-frizz hair tragedies and the flowered jams. According to the guy's story, he was the only skinhead in the area, and he thought being a young Nazi was "cool." It made him different from all the "scumbags" he went to junior high school with. Ideology? Hmmm. The kid was (and probably still is) associated with a group of people who get off on degrading and maiming others and want to breed hate in our society, and he didn't even have cnest hair. Was he aware of the skinheads' goal of eradicating all the nonGerman, non-whites from the earth? No, he was too busy dubbing his bud­ dy's Black Flag cassettes. Does all of this sound frighteningly similar to the motive of the Ku Klux Klan? It should. It is. But although the groups have mix-'n'-match ideology, what would happen if they actually got together? Imagine Robert Heick be-bopping over from Califor­ nia to take part in a North Carolina KKK rally: Heick: "Hey, man. We're here to help you guys wipe up the floor with all these (insert ethnic slur of your choice). We all wore our Doc Marten boots for head-kicking and we all have our chains and brass knuckles. You want we should take Main Street?" Grand Dragon Joe Bob: "Hold on there, boy. You're not gonna go off half-cocked, are ya? You all need some sheets to hide yer face. Can't have nobody knowin' who you are. Here...Billy Jack, get these boys some sheets. Son, whatsa matter with you? You goin' bald or somethin'? Yer head's all shiny." Heick: "Hey man, what's your deal? What's with those sheets? This is the most f—ed-up thing I've ever seen! They can't stop us, you know. We need to go out there and kick a—. We're white and this is our homeland. Get the (insert different ethnic slur of your choice) outta here, dude!" Grand Dragon Joe-Bob: "Whoa back, boy. You'll get your chance. We do things different down here. Let me get you a coke. I'll even put ya some peanuts in it." Sex Is A Funny Thing Sex is a funny thing. So is love. Love is actually a lot funnier than sex, because it's a four-letter word. It's come to my attention that in today's society, sex precedes love and not vice-versa, so let's attack the Horizontal Mambo first. What's wrong with us today? Even with AIDS, herpes, syphilis, gonor­ rhea, and the whole gauntlet of social diseases for us poor, naive college By LORI DEAN Appalachian Slaff Wriler "Women!" She watched him stomp into the liv­ ing room, shutting the door with a bemused smile. "Good morning, Tony. Me? I'm fine. How about yourself?" "Oh stuff it," he snapped, heading for the kitchen. "You want some cof­ fee?" "That's why I made it," she replied, leaning against the door jamb and watching him pour two mugs. He was glaring at the counter as though he wanted to burn a hole in it, and his jaw was set in an angry line. When he finished pouring the coffee, he grabbed up both mugs and shoved one at her on his way to the dining room. "Here." Shaking the hot liquid from her fingers, she trailed behind him. "Would I be mistaken if I were to guess that you and Debra had a fight?" "No," he growled, slumping into a chair. "You would not. I hate her. I hate all women." "Oh?" She slid into the chair across from him, smiling patiently. "What did we do now?" "Don't patronize me," he warned. She forced the smile off her mouth but it still crinkled around her eyes. "Sorry. What happened?" He threw up his hands in exaspera­ tion. "The same thing that always happens." His voice climbed an octave, mimicking the feminine gender. "Why won't you take me to class, Tony? How come you always wait and go with Casey? His voice lowered back to normal, edged with anger. "She's got a fucking eight o'clock and we don't have to be there until ten. Not to mention we have the same first class every morning. Now why," he sat forward intently, "would I want to drag my ass out of bed at six-thirty—when, I might add, there's no hot water left—if I don't have to?" "I can't think of a single good reason," she admitted. "What's this?" he gasped. "Logic? From a woman?" "Amazing, isn't it?" she remarked, not bothering to keep the sarcasm out of her voice. "Yes," he stated firmly, "it is. All I've heard for the last two weeks is how if I really loved her, I'd go with her at eight,"- He reached across the table and gripped her hand. "Help me, Case. I don't understand this at all. Why does not wanting to get up two hours earlier than I have to mean that I don't love her? I've racked my brain for a connection between the two, and I can't find one." She patted his hand gently. "Poor Tony. We're really a puzzle aren't we?" He nodded violently. "Well, let's see if I can explain this." She took a swig of coffee and stared at the space above his head for a moment. "I sincerely doubt that the amount of extra sleep you get is what's bothering her, in fact, I can just about guaran-fucking-tee it. She doesn't like you being with me where she can't keep an eye on us." "Ah, man, I have heard this and heard this," he grumbled, sitting back. His voice rose once more to mimick Debra. "Why do you spend so much time with Casey? What do you talk about? You were talking about me, weren't you?" He clenched a handful of hair on each side of his head for a minute and then released it. "She's just insecure where you're concerned, Tony." "Well I told her we had more important things to talk about." Casey choked on her coffee. "You didn't." He gave her a bewildered frown. "Sure. I thought it would make her feel better." "Ten dollars says you slept on the couch instead." "How'd you guess?" She gave a blithe shrug. "I'm a makes sense that if she's already feel­ ing insecure, the last thing she wants to hear is that you had more impor­ tant things to talk about than her." "But she's got no reason to feel insecure!" he protested. "Apparently, she thinks she does." "Why not?" he gave a defeated sigh, "She's insecure about everything else in the world, I guess she's going to think I'm a scumsucking, untrustworthy pig no matter what." "It can't be that bad," she admonished. "Oh no?" He leaned forward to shake a finger at her. "Do you know that she gets up at six every morning and fixes herself up so that I won't see her without make-up?" "No," she shook her head slowly, "I didn't." He took a sip of coffee and then slammed the mug down. "You know, just once I'd like to touch her hair and feel it give under my hand! She couldn't stop the laugh that erupted. "Tony!" He waved away her protest. "I'm serious! Every morning she mousses it into a stupor. A hurricane couldn't move that stuff!" Having worked himself into a fine rage, he ignored Casey's fit of giggles and went on. "I mean, what is it with you women, anyway? The hair always has to be perfect, the make-up just so. God for­ bid you get a zit—the fucking world comes to an end!" Getting herself under control, she asked, "Don't you think you're overgeneralizing just a bit?" "No. I don't." He waved fanatical­ ly in the general direction of his apart­ ment. "I've been living with that woman for three months. I love her. What the hell makes her think that if she doesn't look perfect all the time I'm going to leave her?"

There's a reason for that. They know what a funny thing it is. They're funny enough as it is. And love. I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I believe in love anymore. What is it? A friend of mine (who's only eighteen years old, for pete's sake) told me the other day that he had been in love a total of eight and one-half times. (He wasn't sure whether to count Shane; he was only in love with her for a week. So she became one-half of a love experience. I hope she's not reading this.) How can you love someone for a week? How can you love someone in a week? I'm a romantic, poet-type chick, but even I can't love someone within a week's time. Maybe we use the word "love" a little too loosely. Maybe we use people a little too loosely. Maybe we should stop think­ ing about it and go get a Dove Bar. Friends determine nobody won the sexual revolution at he always does with *back8r^u'eC' I'm not trying to preach. I per­ sonally believe that sex before mar­ riage is okay, but what I believe isn't really important. It just seems weird to have to engage in a night of wild animalistic rutting to realize that you like someone enough to date them again. ASU fiction spotlight... 7 r i d e r s - He shoots them and ' r bikes. C* trucW° n'?-Came students to run, our sex lives would make rabbits stand back and say, "Wow!" It's socially acceptable to perform oral sodomy on the first or second date, yet there are still people in the House of Representatives who think that pregnancy is caused by "friendly" sperm and a woman has an extremely low chance of getting pregnant as a result of a rape because of a fluid supposedly produced by a woman's body in times of trauma that attacks "hostile" sperm. We are in trouble. Think of it. John and Marsha meet at work. They converse for a while, then make a date for that night. They go to dinner and then go dancing. The sexual chemistry (brought on in part by the veal parmigiana and the adrenalin they've worked up doing Da Butt) is high. They decide to go back to John's place. An hour later, John is deciding over an after-sex cigarette thtd he could fall in love with Marsha. Not that he has, but thlt he could some time in the future. What is wrong with this picture? It ain't the upside-down tree. Tony and Casey's early morning meetings help them retain their sanity. morning?" she asked, arching one eyebrow in question. "Yeah," he nodded, shifting uncomfortably. "Not a pretty picture, is it?" she coaxed. When he didn't reply, she laughed. "It's all right, Tony, we've heard all the I-went-to-bed-with-agorgeous-woman-last-night-andwoke-up-with-Alfalfa-jokes too. We scare ourselves in the morning. I mean, it's not fair. You guys look cute and rumpled when you wake up, we always look like Beta Lugosi." She shrugged. "It's the law." "I don't care how she looks in the morning," he groaned. "It's everything else that's driving me crazy." She propped her chin in her hands and gave him her best attentive stare. "Like what?" "Like," he struggled to find one specific topic and after a second or two, found it, "why do you always insist on talking everything to fucking death? I mean, Jesus H. Christ on a bicycle in the rain! How many times do you have to analyze a relationship before you're satisfied that you understand it? One million? Two?" ( He sat forward, beating the table for emphasis, "I come in from classes in the afternoon. I'm tired. I tell her I'm tired. And she wants to talk! So I let her. Five minutes later—without fail—she will ask me: Honey, is something wrong? I tell her—for all the good it will do me—no, I'm just tired. Then comes the part I hate. Are you sure nothing's wrong? Yes, I'm sure. No, something's bothering you, I can tell. Nothing's bothering me. nre you mad at me?" He shook his head, spreading his hands in a gesture of supplication, "by now, of course, yes, I'm so mad at her 1 could rip her lips off." He tilted his head thoughtfully. "Should I start making up a problem a day to unload on her? Is that what she wants?" "I have no idea. Try it and see if it works." "But I don't want to. I don't want to talk, period. But if I tell her that, she starts saying I don't love her anymore." He glared across the table at Casey. "Why do you do this to us? We're just innocent bystanders of the sexual revolution who can't figure out who won. Is it really necessary to test us to the end of our endurance?" She blinked at him, not quite sure what he was referring to. "Pardon?" "Oh, you know what I'm talking about, he accused, "I'll bet you pull the same stunts on Jay." His voice rose an octave once more. "Honey, do you think I'm fat?" He began making naval distress noises. "You See NOBODY Page 4 Relationships require time and commitment By CATHY SMITH Special l« The Appalachian RELATIONSHIP. Many people are terrified of the word; others would kill to understand its meaning. With February being the "month of love," now seems a prime time to investigate building quality love rela­ tionships. Three of the major aspects involved are: intimacy, communica­ tion, and individuality. Each of these factors is important in itself, but they are most effective when applied together. Striving for intimacy means taking a risk and may bring pain, but the only way one can see oneself and grow is in an intimate relationship. One must be able to give without fear. We give because we want to and because giving fulfills a need we have. Withholding one's expectations from one's partner is misleading and con­ fusing to him or her. You must let your partner know what you want and expect from your relationship together. Which brings us to com­ munication. Communication is necessary if the relationship is going to last. One of the best ways to express love is by say­ ing it. It is best to openly discuss your feelings with your partner so there will be no misunderstanding in the rela­ tionship. Another important part of any love relationship is being friends before becoming lovers. This cr?ates a good foundation on which to build a strong relationship and facilitates feelings of love rather than lust. Love is characterized by respect, trust, spending quality time together, and having good communication. Lust, on the other hand is based a lot on physical appearance and on trying to be near that person at all costs and at all times. The final thing to remember when becoming involved in a relationship is to maintain your own identity. You are an individual and must take time for yourself. Being too dependent can destroy the relationship instead of strengthening it. Doing what you want to do and sometimes doing it alone is important. M. Scott Peck in his book The Road Less Traveled says that two people love each other only when they are capable of living without each other. Relationships aren't easy to initiate or to make last, but they are worth the effort. Intimacy, communication, and individuality are important in the maintenance of any successful rela­ tionship. A quality relationship requires time and mutual understand­ ing. The following books may help you gain more insight into building a quality relationship or dealing with an ended relationship. When Lovers Are Friends by Merle Shain, Love is Letling Go of Fear by Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D., Rebuilding: Deal­ ing With the Loss or Change of a Love Relationship by Bruce Fisher, and Love by Leo Buscaglia.

"Oh, no you don't," she held up one hand, "if you want to get started on that topic, you better be ready to take exactly what you dish out." "What are you talking about?" He looked genuinely perplexed. "Women weren't the only ones made neurotic by the sexual revolu­ tion, you know. You guys are just as bad."

The "coliseum boom" started with the erection of the Dean E. Smith Student Activity Center in Chapel Hill. Most people know this extraordinary structure as the Dean 1 Dome. The Dean Dome, like the UNC basketball program, is the measur­ ing stick for all arenas and propos­ ed arenas. It is the structure by which all others are judged. And all| the others usually can't match the facilities in Chapel Hill. The Dean Dome is not the biggest coliseum around nor is it the most intimidating for visiting teams.

After the game Coach Tom Apke said, "1 thought it was a great college game. 1 thought it was two teams that really wanted to beat the other and were going after it extremely hard. I we started losing players, we started losing them quickly. I didn't think the game was as physical as the number of fouls might indicate." ASU dropped to 18-6 overall and fell into a second place tie in the con­ ference with Furman, as both teams have a 7-5 record. Appalachian plays its final home game of the season February 22 against RandolphMacon. Women extend win streak By PAUL L. CARROLL Appalachian Niaff Writer Last Wednesday, the Lady Moun­ taineers basketball team extended their longest winning streak of the season to five games with an 87-80 victory on the road over Western Carolina. The Lady Apps were ripe for the letdown after a big road win ^ ..against U I-C haltanooga, but senior leadership pulled, ASU through the Western game. In Cullowhee, the Lady Mountaineers held the Lady Cats to 27-69 shooting from the floor for a miserable 39 percent. This game was no easy victory for the Lady Apps. WCU outrebounded ASU 43-42 to keep themselves in the contest. "This was a game that did not sur­ prise me. They tried to take us out of our game by being very physical. Western did a nice job of pushing us under the bucket. It was kind of A WUVIVVI. I I »<AO IVIIIVJ U I bloody game, but Jwa.s pleased to see our kwiswespond," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said. Western Carolina was led by Laura Vannoy with 17 points and nine rebounds. Beth Laney led the Lady Moun­ taineers with 19 points. "Early in the game, the shots just wouldn't fall for Beth. She was 5-17 from the floor, but I think she has gotten it out of her system," Robinson said. Laney also contributed with six offensive boards and three assists. "I can't say enough about Debbie Swicegood; she is Miss Clutch. Whenever we need a bucket, Debbie steps up and hits the shot," Robinson said. Swicegood finished the game with 16 points and three assists. Junior transfer Glenda Cunning­ ham chipped in 18 points and hauled down seven rebounds for the Lady Apps. "Glenda played very well at both ends of the court. This was one of her best offensive nights," Robin­ son said. Joanie Brackett played 34 minutes on an ankle injured against UTC. "Joanie had a great night. She played well and moved well on her ankle. She proved that she is good to go," Robinson said. "We've never lost to Western since I've been here. It was their last home game and we couldn't salt it away. They played a lot of people and played well. We were pleased to have the superior team and come away with the win," Robinson said. WOMEN S BASKETBALL: Glenda Cunningham scores two points. The Lady Mountaineers had the weekend off and are preparing for their game against ETSU on Wednesday at 5:15 pm. The women play most of their remaining games at home. They play Marshall Feb. 25 and Liberty on Feb. 28. Then the Lady Mountaineers go on the road for their final regular season game against East Carolina. Freshman Shannon Thomas added 11 rebounds against Western to raise her team leading total to 160. If Thomas can finish the season strong­ ly, she has a very real shot at being named the Southern Conference's Freshman-of-the-Year. Kim Johnson added to her laurels last week by being named the Southern Conference's Player-of-theWeek. This marks the second time this year that the senior from Greensboro has won the honor. Along with Beth Laney, Johnson is a shoe-in for the All-Conference team. The win at Western raised the Lady Mountaineers record to 15-7 and 7-1 in the conference. The Lady Apps resume play Wednesday at home against East Tennessee. The game will start at 5:15 as part of a double header with the men's team. MEN'S BASKETBALL: Ronnie Christian shoots and scores over the ETSU player and draws a foul in the process. Appalachian State lost the game on Saturday to ETSU 89-87 in overtime. The loss dropped ASU into a tie for second place with Furman. The Mountaineers have senior night this Wednesday night when the Mountaineers face Randolph-Macon at 7:30 pm in Varsity Gym. After this game the Mountaineers go on the road, facing VMI on Feb. 25 and Marshall on Feb. 27. The Mountaineers close out the season with the Southern Conference Tournament in Asheville on March 3, 4, and 5. Mountaineer Mania Hey, all you hockey fans out there!

A vocal crowd at Varsity Gym and a regional television audience saw both teams start off hot. The Moun­ taineers enjoyed as much as a 10 point lead in the first half, mainly due to the 3-point shooting of Peel and Ed Ward. The Mountaineers maintained a 37-34 half-time lead after Jimmy Stewart got a tap in at the buzzer. Appalachian cooled off in the se­ cond half, and led 44-42 for the last time after Peel sank a 15-footer with 16:28 left in regulation. The Moun­ taineers shot just 38 percent for the game compared to 60 percent for ETSU. Late in the second half, Ward's 3-pointer tied the game at 63, and after ETSU regained the lead, Ronnie Christian's two free throws retied it at 69. The Bucaneers hit a layup with 1:55 giving them a 73-71 lead, but Stewart hit from underneath to tie the game and sent it into overtime. ETSU out scored the Apps 8-2 early in overtime, but the Mountaineers went on their own 8-2 spurt and tied the game at 83 on another Peel 3-pointer. The Bucs then converted from the foul line and led 87-83 with 13 seconds left. A long 3-pointer by Peel pulled ASU to within one, but two free throws by ETSU sealed the vic­ tory. needs a new 'in " 'erm! ) P n A S U ' s P^posed °f getting its share of ^ilLboo^ By MARK GILTMIER Appalachian Staff Writer Head Coach Sparky Woods of the Mountaineer football program knew he had to fill three important posi­ tions with this years recruiting class, and that he did. Looking towards the '89 football season Woods had to fill positions at fullback, tight end, and punter. The Mountaineers needed immediate help, so Woods went out and got it. At the fullback position ASU lost both seniors and needed a fullback with experience that could step right in and do the job. They got a 6", 230 lb. junior college player who has already started school at Ap­ palachian. His name is Kevin Hart and he's out of Elsworth Community Head Coach Sparky Woods College located in Clinton, Iowa. The team's second problem was at tight end where Reggis Spruill will no longer be. The Mountaineers got two junior college transfer tight ends who both are expected to do big things next year. Jeff Dudan is out of North Chicago, Illinois, while Kevin Palmer is from Garden City, Community College. The last position the Mountaineers needed help with was the punting chores. With the loss of Tony Cox ASU was hurting. They found a South Carolina Shrine Bowl Punter from Pickens, South Carolina, named Harold Alexander. Woods said, "This punter is very promising and I'm sure he will do a good job for us." Even though these three players are the most important in this year's recruiting class, there are still the in­ coming freshmen who will help the football team in the years to come. "We are very excited about this young ballplayer. He's not only good at football, but he's a good all around athlete," said Woods about D.J. Campbell the new 6'2", 175 lb. quarterback out of Cleveland, Georgia. The Mountaineers, looking towards the future, got four running backs who will all help in the years to come. They are: James Reaves (Hillside, Raleigh), Al Ellis (Owen, Asheville), Quentin King (Lakeland, Florida), and Sievie Patterson (W. Caldwell, Lenoir). % The teams biggest number of recruits came in the linemen. There was eight linemen recruited due to all of the seniors leaving, including Jim­ my Snowden and Sam Sanders. Also many juniors will be gone after next r's : year'k season such as Chris Carter. Woods said, "This is one of the strongest recruiting classes that we have ever had. We needed immediate help, and we went out and got it. I think our recruiting class stacks up very well against Furman's and Mar­ shall's," added Woods. The Mountaineers got a total of 19 freshmen and three junior college players. Broken down, it's eight linemen, four running backs, two linebackers, one receiver, one defen­ sive back, one tight end, one quarter­ back, and one punter. When asked about a Southern Con­ ference Championship next year, Woods could only say, "We are op­ timistic and looking forward to a good season." I �7 HE APPALACHIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1989 Alumni return for game Correction By ROGER WATSON Settle. Assistant Sports Kditor Last Saturday afternoon Varsity Gym was filled with the sounds of memories. Memories of the past that started with the hope of the present. Last Saturday was the day for the third annual Alumni Basketball Game. Players who had played on previous ASU basketball squads came back to show they still have a spark of competitiveness left in them. The teams were made up of players from as far back as 1948. Carl Fidler was the man from 1948. He played on the Gold team and contributed what was probably his first three-point shot, since back in the old days a three-point shot was unheard of. The court was also graced by two former Mountainer football stars. All-Pro running back John Settle, now of the Atlanta Falcons, played for the gold team and scored 25 points. Bjorn Nittmo played for the Black team and managed to score on­ ly four points and a field goal from half court. Hopefully by this time next year, Bjorn will be an all-pro like Black team. He is also tne winningest coach in Appalachian State history. Now he does color commentary for the Mountaineer basketball on the Mountaineer Sports Network. His strategy for the game was simple, as he explained during the time out. "What we need to do is spread them out. Right now we are getting two on one breaks. When we get down to a one on none we really got a good break going." The game was fast-paced and high scoring. The two teams played four 10-minute periods. The Black team won the opening tip and that foreshadowed the way the game was going to go. At the end of the first quarter the Black team led by three, 24-21. The Gold team closed the gap to one at the half with a score of Black 46, Gold 45. The Gold team appeared to be pois­ ed for a comeback at the beginning of the second half when big Pete Wilson checked into the game. Wilson check­ ed into the game and scored 14 points but it wasn't enough as the Black team countered with the height of Kevin Donovan and the speed and versatility of Lynwood Robinson. The third quarter ended with the Black team up by ten, 81-71. A come­ back attempt by the Gold team failed to materialize even though Kenny Baughman scored a game-high 29 for the Gold team. The final talley was Black 102, Gold 94. Bob Light was the coach for the At the end of the game, both teams took time outs to set up their final plays. The Black team set up a play where Nittmo kicked the ball. It was a good kick that hit right in the square on the backboard, but it didn't drop through. The Gold team also set up a football play. They set up a line and hiked the ball to John Settle who ran the ball to the front court and fired up an amazing shot from three-point range that found the basket. It was a great afternoon of basket­ ball and everyone seemed to enjoy the game. Perhaps in the future more games like this one will be held, such as an alumni football game. The Appalachian made a slight error in the story about Proposition 42. We quoted Brad Berndt as saying no athlete had been an athlete who did not meet the requirements. In­ stead, no athlete has been suspended from the University after not meeting the requirements. Under Proposition 48, any athlete who did not meet all of the re­ quirements could sit out a year on academic probation. After a semester, if the athlete's grades were high enough to play, then he would be reinstated onto the team. We regret any inconvenience this may have cause Berndt or the athletic department.

Burnley felt the reputation of the council would be blemished if fl a ws were discovered in the ordinance. Admitting mistakes, or at least recognizing the need to examine a potential problem is responsible, mature and admirable qualities which our current council members obviously do not possess. Our Student Government Association should be applauded for havin g the courage and insight to stand strong and voice concerns to the Town Council. The positive attitude and competent actions taken by our students suggests they are better qualified to serve on the council than some members of the Boone community. Students represent an enormous percentage of the voting population in Boone, as was proven in the Beer in Boone campaign. The Boone Town Council must learn to recognize this fact. To pre". ;iit such injustices in the future, ASU students must vote in ihe next t own Council election. Velma Burnley and James Marsh should not be allowed to continue to serve!

Like many other university officials, Tugman is feigning blindness to the importance of this issue and evading questions and concerns of the university community. Because of measures taken by security, freshmen are now forced to )a;!; in State Farm Field and have limited access to their cars. Mat.y upperclassmen, including seniors, have difficulties obtaining parking stickers on campus. After three years of college, one would expect to obtain a parking place on campus. Unlike other institutions, ASU seniors are granted no senior privileges. When searching for apartments late last summer, many students chose residences in regard to the university parking perimeters. Students wanted to live in locations which would enable them to receive parking permits. After leases were signed, however, the perimeters We changed, and many students are now without transportation and live too far away from campus to walk. It seems that the only students who do get to park on campus are hose who lie about their places of residence. These students have no <onscience and can easily claim that they live ten or more miles away from ASU. What kind of system do we have which allows such injustices to Cl| r against honest students?

There are some problems at this universi' a nd there is no reason to pretend they do not exist. 0| e, this period. I ask you, isn't life just peachy so far? Life is Hell. Some of you may disagree, but you're wrong. It is. Proof, you want proof? Okay, for those of you who are still doubtful about our lives being Hell, here's a brief guide to our miserable existences. Step 1: Pre-birth We begin life as a one-celled glob of genes with a tail. Not such a bad existence in retrospect. Even here, before we are born, life can be Hell. Suppose your mother has AIDS or takes cocaine. This is but your first brush with life in Hell—intro to Hell if you will. Step 2: Birth This is where you actually enter the "real" world. Unfortunately, in doing so you put your mother through a great deal of pain. Don't think she won't remember it later either. Then you end up in the arms of a doctor, who promptly slaps you and makes you cry. Life's great so far. Step 3: Infancy After the trying ordeal at birth, things get a little better. Everyone looks at you and says you're cute, although you look exactly like every other baby they've ever seen. Things aren't all good though. Having to sit in your own excrement isn't really much fun. Step 4: School-age And so begins your first encounter with the American educational system, complete with chocolate milk, nap time, and modeling clay. It is Step 6: College Okay, so ASU isn't exactly a fiery abyss (actually, it's more of a frozen wasteland), but college is, alas, Hell. It's like an extended seminar on the failures of the human race. Granted, I have learned more here than I ever did in high school, but knowledge is depressing. Step 7: Working All of that preparation for this? Working for someone else who is making more money than God? Twenty-two years of education and then BANG!— here that you First mingle with your peers. This in 40 years, at hard labor, for comparative peanuts. All itself can be traumatic—finding out that there is no this and children too! "Hello junior, and WELCOME TO HELL!!"

This whole existence thing is just a no-win incidents of teen-age drug abuse and suicide during situation. Let's be sure of at least ten things By TODD JAMES Appalachian Staff Wriler Lately, it seems, I'm hearing more and more people tell me how they're floundering in a sea of confusion and despair. Nothing seems certain. It's getting harder to tell tact from fic­ tion. Truth from lies. Dreams from reality. 1 don't know if this is the result of the fickle weather we've been having or the result of the latest drug bust, but it's certainly a feeling too significant to ignore...a feeling that we're spinning out of control, because we've lost touch with certain prin­ ciples we once thought were true. Being among the confused as well as just a nice guy, I have sought to alleviate this problem by compiling a list of at least 10 things that were absolutely certain and irrefutable in this world. These are things that many people seem to have forgotten lately, and perhaps by re-establishing these issues, we can once again have some sense of security. 1. You are reading the paper. Just checking. Of course, if you want to argue the point of whether or not you are actually reading the paper, go right ahead. That is, if you have some extra time to kill or brain cells to rot. 2. Elvis is dead. Let's face it—he didn't look that well at all on his last televised concert in 1977; I doubt he could even keep count on "One for the' money, Two for th' show..." today. And besides, if he did somehow show his face in public, there would be a lot of angry people wanting Elm their money back. The King ain't no blue suede fool. 3. Men and women are different from each other. All right—do we have to run those films we saw in 7th grade again? Or have we learned too much from each other since then? This may be a due as to why the opposite sex doesn't act the way we think it should, and consequently, why neither sex shall ever fully understand the other. By the way, if you can somehow legitimately prove me wrong on this one, I think Omni magazine has a hotline number for you. 4. Not everthing the government says is true. (a) This may come as quite a surprise, but we don't elect officials on the basis of how honest and true they are. In many cases, it all comes down to who looks better on camera—and that's a fact, for Kennedy as well as for Bush. (b) The government hides things from us, and as they say, "Ignorance is bliss." So watch as we blissfully head down the road toward being as brainwashed as the Ger­ mans were (many of whom still doubt that Auschwitz and Dachau ever existed). Don't believe me? Remember My Lap I didn't thiqk^so. (c) Ahhhhh, the advantages of democracy over commun­ ism—over there they know the government is lying to them; here we don't know what to believe. (Sigh.) Never mind. "My country, tiiiiis of theeeee. . . " 5. You are currently enjoying the benefits of the burning of fossil fuels which took billions of years to form. That's right—the dothes you are wearing, the buildings surrounding you, your very birth—all are made possible by a grant from the Exxon Cor­ poration. Oh well, get used to it. Even if someone has already come up with a better, more environmentally safe and/or economical way of keeping our . VCR's and Honda CRX's run­ ning, the fuel empires have done their best to stamp it out—legally—in order to keep themselves alive. And that's what it all comes down to, doesn't it? But if it makes you feel better, just go home and turn everything on as high as it will go. No one can stop you. 6. Your parents had sex in order for you to be born. Kinda makes you shiver, doesn't it? It may be icky to think about, but they may have even enjoyed it. You could argue this point, too, but let's be reasonable—who would want to look so dumb as to fake not enjoying an orgasm? 7. Reagan was an actor. This primarily has to do with #4. But hey, let's give the ol' guy a break, huh? The poor guy prob­ ably still thinks the past 8 years have been one long soap opera. He probably even has stage directions telling him when to go to the bathroom. It makes sense, though, when you think about it—Reagan's cabinet had him and everyone else so figured out that they were jsractically like^ characters in a script. Come to" think ef it,-maelr"«f»^flvat hap­ pen e d during Reagan's administration could have only taken place in the movies. From a Democrat's standpoint, how could you compete with that? . You used to like disco. We were all alive during the 70s, and most of us can say we had a lot of fun. Don't be so quick to knock 'em—lest you forget, let me remind you that was us dancing to the Bee Gees and Earth, Wind, and Fire in those floral T-shirts, bell-bottom jeans and "Boston"-style sparkly shoes. A lot of good things came out of the 70s, and you can't say things dramatically improved when we vaulted into the 80s (mostly because Reagan reversed what happened in the 70s). And don't listen to those guys who say they were "waiting for the Sex Pistols to arrive." Most people our age were too young to even have the word "anarchy" in our vocabulary at that time. I guess for most people, looking back at the 70s is like looking at pictures of yourself from a party—it's See TEN Page 8 More student views must be printed Administration clouding the issues To the Editor: CPS*"? *TOX SW TOR ® 30 WSUR& OUR S&CURITL.,," In response to your February 14 survey, " 'Snead-gate' raises ques­ tions: Should the ASU administra­ tion be more open to questioning on issues of importance to the public?" I have a couple of questions, myself. First of all, why were the only four people surveyed directly associated with student news organizations? Granted these people should be able to give the most informed answer, but what about serving the general public, and asking someone not associated with WASU or The Ap­ palachian! I got the impression that WASU either doesn't know what's going on, or they just don't want to compromise whatever relationship they might have with the administra­ tion. On the other hand. The Ap­ palachian appears to be upset that they probably get more out of the II inston Salem Journal than they do from the administration. If you had asked me, a student who just wants the facts, I would tend to agree with The Appalachian. I'm at a loss when people in other parts of the state ask mc about kid­ nappings, rapes and administrative stupidity at Appalachian and I know nothing about it. As Ms. (Jenelle) Autry pointed out, the problem is not about the administration being open to questions, it's about the answers. To me, it's even more about the administration's will­ ingness to communicate the facts to WASU and The Appalachian. Maybe student news organizations aren't asking the right questions. Why is it that the Winston Salem Journal has those answers and cam­ pus news doesn't? But, you didn't ask me. Dana A.

Next fall's incoming freshman class are required to have completed four • ears of high school math plus three ears of high school science. A foreign language is also highly recomnended but is not required. Director of admissions Joe Watts laid the increase is due in part to the public's increased awareness of Magazine. Watts said Appalachian has always been an excellent school, and that the quality of students applying have just increased. SAT scores support this, having increased by 69 points on the average from 918 in 1986 to 987 in the Fall 1989 application pool. "We have always felt good about the students we have had. We are just having to be more selective now because of the laws of Supply and Demand." Watts said.

"Contrary to the college's position, the charges against the four students did arise directly out of their activities on the Review," Mohl wrote in his January 3 opinion. Yet Dartmouth spokesman Alex Huppe also called Mohl's ruling a vicvictory because he rejected the students' "major claim...that there was a bias against conservative students and students affiliated with the Dartmouth Review." The Review, the first and still among the most strident of the newspapers started on some 35 cam­ puses by the conservative Institute for Educational Affairs since 1982, has been a focus of controversy at Dart­ mouth for years because of its verbal attacks on campus gays, blacks, affir­ mative action programs and women as well as physical attacks on antiapartheid campaigns. The students equated the emnity many Dartmouth residents have ex­ pressed towrrJ the Review with discrimination against conservatives. They sued, alleging Dartmouth violated their First Amendment rights as reporters and discriminated against them because they are conservative. Their reinstatement, however, is not the end of the matter. Lawsuits are pending in state and federal courts charging Dartmouth with discriminat­ ing against conservatives.

You see little groups of smokers now hanging around outside. —Doug Sly Big Bend Spokesman "It's too strict of a rule. 1 have a smoking habit and I don't feel like standing out in the rain or snow (to smoke)," Penn State senior Mary Helen Moran said. Stanford University in 1988 banned smoking even at outdoor events. "Some colleges have been setting the pace" said Dr. John Longest, the former Mississippi State University student health center director and American College Health Association (ACHA) official who has led efforts to stop smoking on campuses for several decades. Colorado's Metropolitan State Col­ lege's bookstore stopped selling cigarettes in November, while Georgia State University banned such sales in 1986. Scores of other schools, including the universities of Texas, Illinois, Nebraska and North Dakota, and Tulane, Mankato State, and Southwest Missouri State universities also have restricted campus smoking. School officials cite health concerns as the reason. "We have practical, even moral reasons to restrict smoking," Director of Penn State's human services 'department William Hetrick said. "Colleges need to recognize young people are at a volatile point in their development of habits," said John M. Pinney, executive director of Harvard's Institute for the Study of Smoking Behavior and Policy. "Colleges can influence their young people by letting them know smoking is not acceptable." "Colleges are employers, and as employers they have a responsibility to their employees and students to ensure a healthy workplace," Pinney added, citing the 1986 Surgeon General's report that said second­ hand smoke can lead to cancers and heart disease for nonsmokers, too. Some say colleges are not educating students enough. "We must continue to do better in helping present smokers give up the habit and do MUCH BETTER in encouraging young people not to start," Longest wrote in the ACHA's policy paper on smoking, which calls for tight limits on campus tobacco use and increased educational efforts. Better-educated people, the U.S. 300,000 students found in midJanuary. "The key question is, how do we get to thes2 teenagers?" a frustrated Longest said of the survey results. "There's so_ much more resounding proof that smoking causes cancers, emphysema and heart disease than we had 10 years ago." "Teens experiment," Pinney said, "and they'll stop and start again. It's not until their late teens and early twenties that they really form a habit. One year does not a trend make. But this is a signal that we haven't made as much progress as we thought." The increase in freshman smoking, Pinney said, indicates that colleges may have to get even tougher on smokers, since efforts to keep students away from tobacco earlier in their lives apparently have not worked well. Student smokers generally have not resisted the latest restrictions forceful­ lyIn 1988, University of California at Davis students protested a new non­ smoking policy in the Student Union coffee shop by lighting up, but there have been few other similar protests. "Some feel it's an infringement of their personal rights," Hetrick said, but there's been little organized pro­ test at Penn State. Steve Cronan of the Denver-based People for Smoker's Rights, formed to combat smoking restrictions, said he "gets calls from kids all the time" complaining about the rules. "But the action portion of smokers' rights doesn't seem to be that important to them. Most smokers are easy-going or apathetic. It takes an atomic bomb to move them. My guess is that's even more prevalent among young people. Most of our members are in their 40s, 50s and 60s." "There's been no backlash from students," Longest said. "If anything, students are telling their professors not to smoke." "A few smokers are indignant, but most take it in stride," Big Bend's Sly said. "You see little groups of smokers now hanging around outside. You might hear people get more upset the colder it gets." �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDAY,FEBRUARY 16, 1989 Presidents lead fight Colleges seek an end to racial problems U.S.I),, (CPS)—College leaders threw a series of books, letters and reports at the problem Qf campus race relations the last week of January. The presidents of Wesleyan Univer­ sity in Connecticut and Middlebury College in Vermont sent letters to their students and alumni, talking about how they would like to end racial tensions in academe. And the American Council on Education (ACE), the Washington, D.C.-based group to which all college presidents around the country belong, published a handbook advising cam­ puses on how to deal with race pro­ blems at their schools more readily. They need the help. "We still don't understand the extent of the problem," Joan Weiss of the Na­ tional Institute Against Prejudice and Violence said. Jhe "problem," however, has not been hard to spot. Anti-black student posters have shown up at Stanford; white students attacked a black classmate at the State University of New York at Brockport, and other racial conflicts have arisen during the 1988-89 school year at Northern Illinois, Northwest Missouri State and Columbia universities and the universities of North Dakota, Wisconsin and Mississippi. P^rtrne'"l uf H L As Wesleyan President William Chace put it in a lyrical January 16 letter to all his students, "Hatreds have surfaced, racial animosity has grown hot, anger and resentment have overwhelmed reason." " 'Good' college and university communitites in this country have ex­ perienced very bad, sick moments," Chace wrote. College presidents often have been surprised by the crises, unsure of how to respond and reacting on the spur of the moment. The ACE book, called Minorities on Campus: A Handbook for Enhan­ cing Diversity, is designed to suggest what presidents can do to prevent the conflicts from erupting in the first place. "This is the first we've put together a comprehensive approach. Our role is trying to set an agenda," ACE President Robert Atwell said. "Many, many institutions around the country are addressing this problem. At the same time, others out there are looking for help." mainstream of the institution." For example, it warns presidents to "pay attention to symbols" like Con­ federate flags and fraternity "slave auctions" that may mean nothing to them personally but are potent representations of pain, degradation and death to others.

She knows how to use them!" ZZ TOP came pouring forth from my old worn and torn stereo speakers early Wednesday mor­ ning, around 6:45. I suppose "Woke Up With Wood," would have been a more appropriate ZZ TOP song to wake up to (those living in Gardner or Coltrane know what I mean). As usual, I unconsciously got up, sorta took a shower and haphazardly got dressed. As I gazed upon my Paulina calendar (every guy needs a calendar like this) looking for divine inspira­ tion, I remembered! Today is February eighth! Today is the won­ drous day I get to journey with the in­ famous Zack and Chuck (the WASU zoo crew) to faithfully deliver a nutri­ tional gourmet delight to some lucky female within her own residence (breakfast in bed). I made the long cold trek to Wey Hall to meet Chuck and Zack. The campus seemed so still, so quiet, so lifeless. As I entered Wey Hall there was silence. Nothing but me and the "art." I had to pass the "art" to get to the station. It was very scary, but nothing would stop my quest to see Chuck and Zack. I closed my eyes tight and rushed for the stairs. I made it without having to peer into the face of another disheartening "art." Thank you, Lord! The station seemed very different from the drab, dull, business-like cell 1 first imagined. The room where they broadcast from had shelves and shelves of records varying from Ken­ ny G to AC/DC to Hank Williams Jr. and even Elvis. Chuck and Zack ran feverishly around the room keeping the station's rep for Rock and Roll going. I admired the view from their window. You could see Belk, Frank, Winkler, and The Vault (ninth floor Eggers). Well, it was about that time (not Miller Time), so Chuck and 1 took off to prepare the breakfast of a lifetime for today's breakfast in bed winner, Hillary Simpson. We left the building through a back way so we wouldn't run into any more "art!" It was cold! (How cold was it?) It was colder than a witch wearing a brass bra doing pushups in the snow! (What snow?) Jack Frost was nipping at our noses like an M-16 machine gun. The ice was thick on Chuck's Prelude but he managed to scrape a hole big enough to avoid most obstacles (slow students, professors, ASU security). As we made our way to one of Boone's finest gourmet restaurants, ZZ TOP came on the radio again with "Legs!" (Again, I think ZZ TOP'S "T.V. Dinner" may have been more appropriate). As we pulled up to a stoplight, Chuck (being the law abiding citizen he is) turned down the radio as he noticed Boone Vice patrolling a vital area of concern (the Hardees' parking lot). A loud car radio might be a violation of the noise ordinance! We entered the drive-thru ngni behind one of the town's finest members. This concerned citizen was ready for some real bad weather (his truck 6 feet off the ground), he observed the noise ordinance (he wore a headset), supported farmers (he chewed tobacco), and he was Southern by the grace of God (he had a Confederate flag in the back wind­ shield). Well, Chuck was in an awful predicament. Hillary was a vegetarian! No bacon, no sausage, no eggs! Chuck got her a good nutritious salad (If you have not guessed by now we're at McD's). Here we discovered a great new way to quickly defrost a windshield (we couldn't figure out if it was the exhaust from the 4x4 in front of us or the breath from Helga, the friendly McD's lady. We'll let you decide!). We made our way to Coltrane Hall. The anticipation was killing me. Chuck had never had the pleasure of going inside Coltrane or Gardner (they're exactly alike). As the elevator door opened a bright, beaming face greeted us and upon seeing Chuck with the stylish takeout bag, this blissful soul extended her thanks for making hump day a little bit humpier for ASU. The elevator door closed as the bright, beaming face broke into song (this is getting more ridiculous every minute). Five minutes later (maybe 10) we reached our destina­ tion, ninth floor. A whole hall of girls were there awaiting our arrival. Laughter and joy filled the air as we made our way to Hillary's room. Girls in skimpy towels moved aside, girls with no makeup smiled and there was Hillary waiting within her room for our ar­ rival. The room was pink with lots of pictures and a big orange construction sign. Chuck gave Hillary her vegetarian breakfast and I snapped a few photos. Soon our time was up and we left Hillary and the wonderful girls on her hall. As the elevator door closed I couldn't help but wonder about the mural in the lobby, "It's better on the top?" Chuck had given away another breakfast and I had a story to write. Hillary had a salad and memories. So remember every Monday and Wednesday listen to WASU for Zack and Chuck. You might just be the next lucky lady to get it from Chuck and Zack in the morning. ASU fiction spotlight...

Lori debated whether or not history repeats itself. She tried to envision everything; the past, present and future, as a cycle of uptightness ver­ sus looseness. She thought of her friend's mother who said life was a constant battle between God and Satan. Sometimes Satan would get the upperhand, and the world would be immersed in loose morals, but then God would say enough is enough and put Lucifer in his place, and decentness would cover the earth like a security blanket. Lori tried a swan shape, but the swan's head looked deformed and rather ungraceful. She wrinkled her nose and pondered her spirituality. She knew faith was a decision to believe, but she just couldn't make up her mind about what to believe. She wanted an all-encompassing, natural, don't-worry-be-happy religion, but her Catholic roots killed many bud­ ding ideas. Lori tried to remember the last time she went to confession. She tried to remember what she had con­ fessed. The phone rang, and Lori jumped to put on a bathrobe to cover her nakedness before she answered the phone. "Hello." "Hey Lori. This is Elise."

As a cardholder, one is entitled to a free ride home from participating Taxi may possibly be funded by SGA through the budget next fall. This would be a tremendous asset to us all." Designated Driver is another pro­ gram similar to Tipsy Taxi. Local establishments have agreed to donate a free non-alcoholic drink to designated drivers for the night. The free non-alcoholic drinks will be made available provided these individuals do not consume alcohol and are responsible for the party they came with. Lil' Dino's is participating in the Designated Driver Program only. Others participating in both Tipsy Taxi and Designated Driver are: Bash Riprock's, Geno's, Red Onion, Broyhill Inn, Holiday Inn, Pepper's (both locations), Our Daily Bread, Peddler, Makotos, and Whatchamacallit's. Since its beginning on January 19, membership for Tipsy Taxi has grown to 541. If you would like more infor­ mation or have any questions, you may contact Teresa White at 262-2265.

We Now De// Ve r APPSsponsors Lennon and Beatles films ' T don 7 believe in Goldman his type like a curse Instant Karma's gonna gel him If I don't get him first... " — "God Part II": U2 As every Beatles fan knows, a lot of controversy has sprung up lately re­ garding John Lennon's supposed life of paranoia and debauchery during the last years of the Beatles and beyond. Albert Goldman, who has also written scandalous books about Elvis and late comic Lenny Bruce, has led the fray with his book, The Lives of John Len­ non. The book presents a negative im­ age of Lennon as an anorexic, secretive, neurotic recluse who cheated on his wife, Yoko Ono, with her con­ sent, for several years. Is it realistic? Some say yes, some no, but the book has sparked a bevy of responses in the form of articles^, books, and films. Yoko Ono hrft . publicly renounced Goldman's book in People magazine. Rolling Stone ran an article disclaiming the book and featuring photographs from Yoko Ono's private collection that depicted what Rolling Stone believes to be the "real" John Lennon—a good father, a sensitive musi­ cian, and an all-around great guy. But who was John Lennon? Was he the young cynic who said during a press conference that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus? Or was he the sensitive thinker who later attempt­ ed to explain the statement to the press, rather than create a negative im­ age for the Beatles as a whole? Was^e the sneering angry youth who sciceefl'ed "Revolution" or the quiet "Make Love Not War" type who crooned "In My Life ? Was he someone who wanted to change the world or did he merelv want to make music? Since Lennon has now been dead nearly a decade, it is impossible for anyone to say for sure. All we can do is appreciate the legacy of music he has left behind, from "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" to "Watching the 262-5065 Friday, Fehy Wheels". We can also formulate our own opinion of who the real John Len­ non was, as well as enjoy the animated antics of all the Beatles by going to see the A.P.P.S. films this weekend. A.P.P.S. will be presenting the films, Yellow Submarine, Imagine (a very re­ cent film, produced after the publica­ tion of The Lives of John Lennon) and Suburbia. The films will run Friday and Saturday in I.G. Greer theater. It's Only $1.50 to get in; and it's well worth the admission cost. The shows start at 7 p.m., 9 p.m., and midnight, respectively.

Newport Continued from Page 3 bring the history and literature to life in a way not possible in a classroom setting. Classes meet in the morning, except for sailing, and students have the afternoons free to see Newport, swim in the ocean, lie out either on the beach or in front of their mansion home, which has a big green lawn that runs down to the bay, or perhaps study! Evenings are also free for study and play. Walks along the cliff walk at night with the moon shining are fun, as long as you are careful. If a student is interested in an internship, those are also available. Internships can be arranged with the Newport Historical Society, the Preservation Society of Newport, the Newport city planning office, or with the college of Salve Regina. The interns with the historical and preser­ vation societies work in the many mansions of Newport. Other intern­ ships can be arranged. For informa­ tion about internships, contact Janice Whitener, Dept. of Home Economics at 262-2663. The fee for the trip is $1180. This covers the cost of transportation to and from Boone to Newport, room and board (17 meals per week) and tuition. Extra money is needed for books and other necessities of life. This cost is actually not much more than what it costs to live in Boone and attend Summer School. Students live in the residence halls of Salve Regina College. Salve Regina purchased many of the mansions and converted them to residence halls. So the students actually live in an old mansion next door to the home of the Vanderbilts. The views from the bedroom windows of the green lawn, cliff walk, and ocean are priceless. If you want to go to summer school but want a change from Boone, or you would like the chance to travel and visit New England, think about the chance of going to Newport and doing summer school in style. An informational meeting for all inter­ ested students will be held Feb. 20 at 6:30 p.m. in room 223 Whitener Hall. If you cannot attend the meeting but would like more information about the program, contact Dr. George Antone, Dept. of History, 262-2284. • • • featuring Daytona's hottest Spring Break hotels • • TEXAN TRAVELODGE INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK Next door to the International.

Jesus and condoms are hot topics By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Staff Writer Spanish soap lust Soap operas are the worst, most yiotic silliest and purely romanti­ cized genre of TV dramas, and I Did you know I was the opening act at the revival of the Comic Strip at Legends on February 2? Yup, and if you were one of the other people hanging around the pool table as I played, then I brought you a load of laughs. It is true—the Comic Strip is back and with a vengence. The posters all around campus dared me to laugh, so I couldn't resist the offer. After all, there must be something funnier around campus how ugly the women are. 3. Bitch about the last town you were in and the women there. (Hickory fell victim.) Angrave sounds like he hasn't been doing an act like this for very long because he was very nervous. There were points where he'd get caught up too much in the crowd/comedian ver­ bal tennis match and the transitions in his routine weren't smooth. Don't get me wrong. . .he's good, but he just needed to take his time with his presentation. Soon he'll be headlining like them. 1 discovered them years ago, but iKcame "born again" to the boob tube with the finding of Univision on my dorm room cable a year ago If you're in Spanish class here and had to kill a little time in the language lab, then I'm sure you caught some of the beautiful protramming Univision offers. (OK, pronunciation time, kids. Say OOO ni-vi-si-OWN.) Back to those soaps... they really are as typical as their American counterparts. You have your rich bitches, passionate, aggressive black-haired guys with eyepatches name Diego Ramon (no fidelity whatsoever), and the typical dialogue you could understand even if the soap was run in Icelandic. Face it, there's a universal pose every actress gets before she says "I will destroy you," or "You will regret this." Throw in some young love right now. (Yes.. .love! Hispanics try to quell any lust in tbeit hearts until they are 21, then I supose it's fine to "have at it" when they want.) Ah, yes. Love so I (young and innocent between the lever gorgeous Lucia and the Whful, spirited Francisco, l] Imagine, if you will, a sea coast ftateg in the rays of a tropic sun.

But could the comedians get through the night without hitting the two topics on all Mountaineer minds lately Jesus and condoms? Not enough people seemed interested in finding out, which is a real shame because a night like February 2's is a solid second step. Scott Angrave, from "very, very, very, far away" (otherwise known as London—now down and out in Raleigh), threw out the first yuk, so to speak. I don't know how long he's been doing a stand-up act, but he cer­ tainly has mastered the three rules all young comedians must obey: 1. Give hell to the guy in the front ot the crowd (me) with the clipboard and the funny tie (me) or the girl who's dressed up the most and closest to the stage. (Believe me, he worked on me or her the whole time.) 2. Bitch about your hometown and in area clubs, but before that, he just needs to look more collected and not get caught in the crossfire. Success will come to Scott Angrave, I hope. Now it's time to talk about the big guy from New Orleans... Lance Mantalto. He's written for "Night Court" and also wowed the world on MTV's "Half Hour Comedy Hour." Lance came on-stage as if he was born casual. The crowd could've eaten out of his hand in five minutes. "No wonder the ski slopes charge fourteen dollars," Montalto exclaim­ ed, " 'cos THERE'S NO SNOW!!!" OK, he sounded a little like Sam Kinison but nowhere near enough to get arrested for theft. One of my prophecies was also fulfilled.. .talk about Jesus. Now if you're from North Carolina, you're sick of Jim and Tammy jokes, but did you know PTL really stood for "Pills, Tits and Liquor"? Did you know that starving people could be fed by the money it takes to build a water slide at Heritage? Scary. The pat on the back award goes to Lance for not telling the joke about the star­ ving Ethiopian with AIDS, but he did talk about both at one time or another. , I already told you Lance is from New Orleans, a crazy city made even crazier these days because of Mardi Gras. New Orleanians like Cajuns and like to mock Cajuns. 'Di garawn-tee he got da ack-sent down pat. AHHYEE!! Imagine two Cajuns on the "People's Court". Double scary... Closing his act with all the voice tricks he could perform on a digital delay pedal, he took a casual show and made it even more so. It was a bad trip but a very good performance. What separated the comedians was the amount of experience one seemed to have and the other seemed to lack. The key difference was the delivery involved. Montalto has his share of hecklers, and in return he gave them a red face. Thursday night proved to be another good night for Monatalto and another good learning night for Angrave. I hope you hear about both of them in the future because neither one sounds satisfied with playing places the size of Legends much longer.

They opened their show with an original, "Kiss Me." The band has gone through many changes since its beginnings. William Dunavant is the only remaining original member. The addition of two new members has Appalachian Photo by Wos Criiwoll Comedian Lance Mantalto given the band a different sound. A.P.P.S. Club Shows sponsored the event, and tomorrow night they have Allister Tale lined up to play The Pub. Also tomorrow night, A.P.P.S. Stage Shows is sponsoring national recording stars Nantucket. The band s led by C.C. Deville (guitar) with his school boy/Rod Stewart charm and is closely followed by Rikki Rocket (drums), Bobby Dall (bass), and Bret Michaels (vocals). This LP reeks of sex and womaniz­ ing—but hey, isn't this the overall mentality of today's society? The first tune is "Love on the Rocks" (sarcastically), "This is such an unusual song from Poison!" OK, no more joking around. Seriously, this is the song you've heard before, and the lyrics aren't any different. losing my cool, But I just want to play with my baby, If you only knew what she could do, She starts talking dirty right in my ear, Making herself perfectly dear, Need some good love." "Tearin' Down the Walls" is the next song. Teenie-boppers will prob­ ably dig this song. KISS and Billy Squier could cover this one together! The guitar is a rip-off from Billy Idol's guitarist Steve Stevens. The "I watch the ice melt fast on drummer must get bored in this band. her red hot tips, There's more activity in turtle mating.

Song number two is "Nothin' But a The second side rivets you with Good Time," the MTV classic video. another bad tune, "Look But You There's a guitar solo that makes Steve Can't Touch." This is a song about a Jones look like Jimi Hendrix. It's a man wanting sex from a girl instead of catchy tune—you'll sing it and not friendship. I sometimes can see the know why.

The Fall takes a big chance with rock opera The Fall's recent concept album lacks coherency By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Staff Writer Concept rock opera, in the tradi­ tion of "Tommy" or the Kinks' mid-70's string of theatrical albums, has never entirely died out, mutating instead into a sort of disciplined, ex­ perimental theatricality. In the late 70's and early 80's, pioneers like David Byrne, Laurie Anderson, Phillip Glass and Robert Wilson (best known for his 24-hour "Knee Plays" collaboration with Byrne) worked extensively in this style, and the influence of these am­ bitious and acclaimed artists has been seen in a growing number of pro­ gressive/theatrical bands (like Psychic T.V.). The latest in this vein of conceptual rock theatre in the recently-released I Am Kurious Oranj, by British cult faves The Fall. Touring with The Michael Clark Dance Troupe, this avant-garde ballet premiered in Amsterdam. Recordings made on this tour are premiered here. The music is (nearly) universally excellent, if uneven, although the "story" is a bit sketchy (no lyrics are provided, and the synopsis is one short paragraph on the insert), and in understanding I Am Kurious Oranj, some live American performances would pro­ bably be a help. The album kicks off with "New Big Prinz," which is based on an atonal, droning sub-funky bass line that sounds a little like early PiL. A jangly "overture" comes next, and the third song ("Jerusalem," which is vaguely reminiscent of early Joy Division) opens with the recitation of a William Blake poem, "Dog Is Life." no vocals and more electronics, and are reminiscent of David Byrne's score for "Catherine Whell." "Yes, O Yes" is also mostly instrumental, and is based on a slowed down, backward surf-guitar riff (when I said The music is (nearly) universally excellent, uneven, although the "story" is a bit sketchy (no lyrics are provided, and the synopsis is one short paragraph on the insert). "Win Fall C.». 2080" and the un­ titled, unlisted eleventh track are more experimental, featuring little or uneven, I mean uneven). The only clunker here is "Kurious Oranj," which features a choppy. ska-type beat and virtually no melody to sustain its seven-minute length. "Van Plague" and "Bad News Girl" are more regular sounding bits 'o alternative rock-n-roll, and they provide some breathing room in the chaos. 'Twould be quite nice if The Fall were to bring this whole extravganza here to the U.S. for a tour, because as, er, "interesting" as I Am Kurious Oranj is, it, on record (or CD), lacks needed coherency, and the lack of focus is occasionally distracting. But it is good to see a band with a major label deal taking big chances, and The Fall has not yet (after 12 years and nearly 20 studio, live and compilation albums) fallen into a rut. �THE APPALACHIAN. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1989 Torch Song Trilogy realizes a dream "There's a certain something to know that you had a dream, you car­ ried out your dream and made it a reality, and that people actually ap­ preciate that you did it. Not only do you feel good about yourself, but you feel good that a few people might go tor their dreams because you did." Harvey Fierstein's dream, the longawaited film adaptation of Torch Song Trilogy has finally been realized in classic "labor of love" tradition. Torch Song Trilogy is the funny and poignant story of a gay New Yorker's search for love and respect in a heterosexual world which focuses on the lovers in his life, as well as his strong-willed mother. From its birth off-Broadway to its more than twoyear successful run on Broadway and two coveted Tony Awards, Best Play and Best Actor, Fierstein was finally able to bring all of the right elements together to produce the screen ver­ sion. This combination included the assembly of a dynamo cast: Harvey Fierstein, Anne Bancroft, Matthew Broderick and Brian Kerwin, the pro­ ducing talents of Howard Gottfried, responsible for such award-winning, thought-provoking films as The Hospital, Network, and Altered States, and finally, a studio that was committed to bankrolling the project, New Line Cinema. Anne Bancroft, whose impressive body of work in both stage and film include her Tony-Award winning family is... in that sense, it really is an roles in Two For the Seesaw, and The old-fashioned story."

O.K., O.K., that's enough. In Masquerade, a film that also stars the intriguing Meg Tilly and the seductive Kim Catrelle, Lowe is at his best manipulating the women and anyone else who gets in his way. Tim Wayland (Lowe) is the captain of Obsession, a racing yacht being prepared for an upcoming racing season in Florida. The boat is now docked in the Hamptons of New York. Early in the movie, Wayland is in the process of a torrid love affair with the wife of Obsession's owner. At a real glitzy party, he is introduced to Olivia (Tilly), who is an heiress to over $300 million. The two take an in­ stant liking to each other and find they both share an infatuation with sailing. They plan a sailing date and to put it this way, it doesn't take much wind in Olivia's sails to get her going. She loves Wayland's boyish charm and hypnotic good looks, and thus she falls for him.

He in turn, falls for her, and he finally ap­ pears ready to settle down. This movie has more twist in it than a Chubby Checker Twistin' the Night Away New Year's Eve Special. Among the people involved in these twists is Gateworth, the greedy, widowed stepfather who doesn't like this sailor boy wooing his rich step­ daughter. Another significant character is Gateworth's lover/ girlfriend, Miss Briscoe. We're not spoiling the movie but let us just say that these people get axed, and that is .just the beginning. This is what is so entertaining about the movie. The viewer sees what is happening, guesses the outcome, finds out that is wrong, guesses again, strike two, guesses again, darn it that is not it either, and finally when you believe you've thought of every scenario pow—the climatic ending proves you wrong. The director of Masquerade intend­ ed to keep the viewer guessing and he was successful. A thrilling plot, steamy bedroom scenes, and a $1.99 price tag are three good reasons why this movie appealed to us and will ap­ peal to the college audience. We say Rent It!! 115 E.

Peel came out and hit his first three-point attempts to get the Apps ifarted off on the right foot against a tough Citadel Bulldog team. The Citadel had already beaten Appalachian in Charleston and the Apps looked to be the underdog, especially since their starting point guard, Kemp Phillips, was sitting at the end of the bench with a chipped bone in his foot. beating The Citadel, Furman was los­ ing to East Tennessee State in a close one 83-81. The loss dropped Furman out of sole possession of first place to a half game back of the Mountaineers and the Moccasins. The Mountaineers attacked early and pulled out to a lead of 25-12 with under nine minutes to go in the first half. The Citadel came charging back before intermission to cut the 13 point Mountaineer lead to a slim two. The Apps managed to maintain a six-point lead at the half with the score cr 37-31. The Mountaineers attacked early and pulled out to a lead of 25-12 with under nine minutes to go in the first half. The Citadel came charg­ ing back before intermission to cut the 13 point Mountaineer lead to a slim two. The Citadel was only a half game behind Appalachian in the Southern Conference race before the game. They seemed to have a good chance to win the regular season title, but Appalachian may have put a stop to all that. The 86-72 victory by the Mountaineers put them in a tie for first place in the Southern Conference with Tennessee-Chattanooga. At the same time Appalachian was The Citadel showed some signs of life early in the second half before Appalachian State pulled out to a lead of 55-42 after a 7-1 run.

The coup de grace was a breakaway slam by Ben Miller after The Citadel didn't get on the court quick enough after a timeout. That gave Appalachian a 70-58 lead with a little over three minutes remaining and they never looked back. Appalachian went on to take the win and reclaim first place in the Southern Conference with a 86-72 win. High scorers for the Mountaineers were Peel with a career-high 25. Six of those were three-pointers, tying Kemp Phillips' school record for most threepointers in a game. Rodney Christian had a great game scoring 19, Gibson scored 16, Ben Miller and Pat Lyons chipped in with eight a piece and Ed Ward had six. The high scorer for the Bulldogs was Patrick Elmore, a reserve, who provided 22 points in a losing cause for the Bulldogs. Appalachian State out-rebounded The Citadel 39 to 29 and held the Bulldogs to a field goal percentage of only 40 percent. They came into the game shooting 52 percent. Appalachian improved to an overall record of 18-5 and 7-4 in the conference. Appalachian State's next game is in Varsity Gym Saturday afternoon at 4:00 against East Tennessee State.

Recreation center sponsors seminar Trim your body at Quinn By SABRINA SELLS Special lo Ihe Appalachian On Tuesday, February 21 from 9 to 11 p.m., the ASU Department of Recreation, Intramurals, and Club Sports will sponsor a body shaping seminar in the Quinn Recreation Center. The seminar, designed especially for women, will include in­ formation on body part shaping and toning, exercise technique, equipment use, and nutrition. The seminar will be presented by ASU students and weight room super­ visors Christine Elekes, Jenni Mix, and Barnanne Wilder. There is no cost for admision for Appalachian faculty, staff, and students with a valid ID. Coordinator of Fitness and Facilities Dan Duncan feels that the seminar will be informative and beneficial to students wishing to begin or improve their weight training pro­ gram. He feels that the organization and presentation by students will be well accepted. "This seminar is the first of its type here at ASU," he said. "The program is 100-percent student run, so we hope there will be~good participation." The seminar is geared toward the average weight lifter. It is designed to familiarize the participants with the different types of training available and cater to each individual's special needs. In addition to the physical aspects of body shaping that will be discuss­ ed, the mental and psychological side of weight training will be examined. Christine Elekes, a senior physical education majflr, believes that motivation is the key behind a suc­ cessful weight training program. "This seminar is designed to ex­ plore the right frame of mind and athletic philosophy that will motivate paiticipants in a weight room," she said. ' The seminar will be a combination of demonstrations and discussions designed by Elekes, Mix, and Wilder. Elekes will demonstrate back, shoulder, and abdominal toning using free weights. She will also discuss become informed about the equip­ ment and feel more at home in a weight room. "I think the seminar will be an icebreaker for those who attend and have never or seldom been in a weight room," she said. "It will help them feel that they belong in a gym, especially here at the Quinn Center! This is not an elite gym, beginners pay tuition here too and are just as welcome as the best body builders we "I think the seminar will be an icebreaker for those who attend and have never or seldom been in a weight room.

Mix will discuss athletic psychology and motivation and will demonstrate circuit training and leg and calf workouts with free weights. Wilder will work with free weights on chest, bicep, and tricep ex­ ercises, and she will discuss exercise physiology, the science of duration, intensity, and workout frequency. Elekes believes the seminar will be beneficial in the sense that the begin­ ner and average weight lifter can get in here." Elekes further feels that the seminar will give participants some good information and ideas to correct any misconceptions they may have had about diet and nutrition. "Everybody has a special need," she said. "Some may need to trim legs while others may need to firm the stomach. This seminar is designed to give the answers for each need and demonstrate the exercise designed to accomplish each body shaping goal." 1 �8 THE APPALACHIAN COMMENTARY SHELLEY A.

The two fires which occurred over the past few months have raised several questions in the minds of those in the campus community. According to Director of Residence Facilities, Doug Canipe, the answer is "yes." The fire systems in our residence halls are inspected annually to test sensitivity ranges in the alarms. Systems are continually being updated (the last time was in November, 1987) to insure that the most up-to-date equipment is utilized. Our residence hall administrators appear to be extremely concerned about the welfare of ASU students, and are constantly working to insure that this type of situation will never happen again. In fact, Vene­ tian blinds will be installed to alleviate the fire hazard caused by cur­ tains. Currently, our mattresses are made of highly inflammable material, and building materials in rooms are level one, meaning that they are the least flammable type. The biggest problem facing the residence halls is uncooperative students who fail to abide by the rules and regulations set by Residence Life. Microwave ovens, heaters and other illegal items provide an enor­ mous fire hazard to rooms, and may ultimately risk the lives of residents. Students must realize the potential dangers involved with such appliances and discontinue their use in residence halls. The fact that these items are prohibited appears to be unfair to students; however, when lives are at stake, it is necessary to realize that these and other rules were developed for a reason. It is, unfortunately, extremely difficult for these regulations to be enforced by our Residence Assistants and Directors. These individuals however should be commended for the job they do, as this is a con­ stant challenge to enforce these policies. Our Residence Life staff is very well-informed concerning fire safety procedures. Thorough training sessions are given to Residence Life employees to ensure that they are well versed on various safety con­ cepts and procedures. Once again, it is the negligence of the on-campus students which inhibits proper performance during fire drills Because there are frequent "false alarms" in residence halls, many students do not take drills seriously enough. This poor attitude may eventually result in loss of a life if these problems are not rectified Students need to be aware that it is possible to be involved in an actual tire, and all fire drills and alarms should be taken seriously. Pranksters who pull alarms for practical jokes should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Dorm evacuations of any type can pose potential safety hazards to students who may injure themselves attempting to get out of the buildings. Fortunately, our Student Judiciary has an extremely stiff penalty for SUCH violations; however, a greater punishment is needed. Although our residence halls are quite safe, students should never take safety for granted. Washed up at 21...I haven't accomplished anything. Nothing. Zip.

Appalachian State University con­ tinues the process with their in­ famous parking regulations. My freshman year I did not bring my car as a matter of family agreement. My sophomore year I brought it, realizing I would have to park in perimeter lots. That was fine. I decided to live on campus my junior year because I noticed that juniors living on campus were allowed to park in the stadium lot. My residence hall assignment was for Frank hall and (big surprise) juniors were not allowed to park on campus anymore, unless they lived off cam­ pus. My senior year I decided to live off campus since my lottery assign­ ment was for Bowie, a zoo in which I had already served a two-year sentence. Surely I would be able to park in the stadium lot. Wrong! Thanks to the Director of Public Safety and Security Roy A. Tugman and Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned R.

The creation spirituality tradition attributes the state of the world to a dichotomy of science and religion which resulted in a basic change in humankind's psyche. Four hundred years ago physics taught us that the univers'd' was like a giant clock that a supreme being wound up at the begin­ ning of time (fundamentalists even date this to be about 6,000 years ago) and it has been running ever since, according to fixed predictable laws. Unfortunately, the psyche or spirit did not conveniently fit into this nice package, so it was given to the theologian which lead to a disap­ pearance of our cosmology. The scientists took the universe and the theologians took the soul. One fun­ damentalist physics textbook even states that "God, the Creator of the nature, was not a part of nature nor was He nature itself."

Matthew Fox in his book Original Blessing, A Primer in Crea­ tion Spirituality, tells us that the solu­ tion to our problems is in moving from theism, worshipping a God out­ side of you, to panentheism. This differs from pantheism which states that everything is God and God is everything which robs God of transcendence. Panentheism means that God is in everything and everything is in God. "It is the way the creation-centered tradition of spirituality experiences God... Panentheism is a way of seeing the world sacramentally.

Siegel M.D. sums things up by saying, "God has given us free will to make love and life meaningful. This creates a critical risk because we now have the ability to destroy our universe if we choose not to love. "However, it is only in this critical time that the archetype of the miracle can appear. When one believes in love and miracles divine intervention can occur. "We have an infinite number of choices ahead, but a finite number of endings. They are destruction and death or love and healing.

By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor According to Director of Residence Facilities Doug Canipe, a fire which broke out in East Residence Hall late Sunday night is initially estimated to have caused between $47,000 and $53,000 in physical damage. The fire was reported to the Boone Fire Department at 9:41 p.m. Sunday. Units from Blowing Rock, Deep Gap, Meat Camp and the Boone Fire Department responded to the fire along with Watauga County Ambulance and Rescue Squad. According to Boone Fire Chief Reginald Hassler, the fire, which started in room 144, was declared declared under control 30 minutes after fire fighters arrived on the scene. "It took us approximately 20 minutes to suppress, or gain control of, the fire," Hassler said. "There was something that the officer in charge outside thought was some kind of gas leak, propane perhaps. It had a funny color (the flames). Bui we haven't found any evidence of a gas leak or pro­ pane." According to Hassler, room 144 was gut­ ted and the heat from the fire destroyed 50 to 60 percent of the contents of the room directly across the hall. The residents were not in the room at the time. Hassler said that the door to the opposite room was left open and that the heat "melted everything." The rest of the hall received extensive smoke and water damage. Canipe said that all residents of East were immediately evacuated. "Everyone who lives on the first, second and third floors of what is called the Old East Wings (wings located next to Sanford hall and facing Locust Street) were allowed back in the building at around 2 a.m. Everyone else, except first floor of the other wing, came back sometime between 5:15 and 7 a.m. Canipe said that occupants of the damag­ ed first floor will be relocated while repairs are being made. "We're hoping to make all major repairs within three to four weeks." According to Canipe, students who oc­ cupied the damaged rooms were allowed to move their belongings from the building at 4 p.m. yesterday. Canipe said that Residence Life was help­ ing the students relocate and was assisting those who remained in the building with the clean up. "We feel like we'll have everybody in a good situation in the next three to four weeks," he said. The fire at East is the larger of the two major fires to occur on campus this year. Canipe said that he felt like this was a tremendous increase in the number of ma­ jor on-campus fires. The other fire happen­ ed in December at Eggers Residence Hall and caused approximately $23,000 in damage. "Fortunately, we do have adequate See FIRF1 Page 2 Appalachian Photos by Troy Horack ASU use lower than national averages drug By JON JIMISON Appalachian News Editor While 87.6 percent of ASU students have used alcohol according to a recent survey, this is below the amount of high school seniors who say they have used alcohol. ASU's alcohol and drug use survey, con­ ducted by the University Committee for a Drug Free Campus and released late last year, shows consistently lower drug usage rates than the national high school senior numbers, which were released in a survey conducted by the National Institute of Drug Abuse. "We've done three surveys since 1980 that would support ASU being below na­ tional statistics," Associate Director of Although ASU is lower in drug usage in Residence Life Rick Geis said. every category, according to Geis, the Some 51 percent of high school students university is close to the national averages in have used marijuana, while 44.3 percent of alcohol use.

Car stolen during party By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor A 1985 Nissan Sentra was stolen from College Place Condominiums Feb. 5 be­ tween the hours of 2 a.m. and 12 noon. The car, a tan two-door, belongs to ASU stu­ dent Jeanne Lockhart. Lockhart reported the stolen car to the Boone Police Dept. Sunday evening after she returned to pick the car up and discovered it was gone. "I went to a party Saturday night," Lockhart said. "I remember having my keys on me. I put them in my purse and laid it in the back bedroom with every body else's coats." According to Lockhart, the party was broken up by Boone Police at approximate­ ly 2 a.m. "I didn't want to drive home, so I got a ride with some friends." Later that day Lockhart discovered the car was missing. "I was thinking someone had got my keys and had just moved it. So I waited around for a couple of hours calling people. I didn't want to go to the police when it was iust some friends playing a practical joke," she said. ASU Security Director Roy Tugman said that since the incident occurred off campus, it was out of his jurisdiction and therefore Security had not taken any action. Accor­ ding to Tugman, no cars have been reported stolen on campus. Detective Luther Harrison of the Boone Police Department confirmed that a report had been filed by L.ockhart on Feb. 5. Ac­ cording to Harrison, officers in the area have been notified of the stolen car and the license tag number had been entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) computer. Harrison said that if a check was run on Lockhart's lice 1 s ag, the car would show up as a stolen vehicle. "There are so many things that can hap­ pen to a car that is reported stolen," Har­ rison said. "It could have been towed, misplaced or actually stolen." "We really can't release much informa­ tion until the investigation is completed," Harrison added. "There is some question as to whether the keys were in the vehicle or not." The ASU study found that most students Consume alcohol for sociability (77.6 per­ cent). Other reasons given for alcohol use were enjoyment of taste (75 percent), to relieve fatigue or tension (58.5 percent), to get drunk (57.6 percent) and to escape from disappointments (37.4 percent). The average survey respondent lost a little, over one hour of normal functioning in recovery from alcohol use and slightly over 15 minutes of classes in the week preceding the survey. "We're concerned about those people who drink to get drunk and those who miss classes," Geis said. SADD aims at athletes (CPS)—The group that raised a nation­ wide student voice against drunk driving an­ nounced a new effort January 23 and a newtarget: steroid and other illegal drug use by student athletes and their fans. Founder of the four million-member Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD), Robert Anastas, said he can duplicate his success. "We can reverse peer pressure and make it positive rather than negative," he said in announcing his new program. "Student athletes are natural leaders and trendsetters in our high schools and univer­ sities. When they stumble, everyone falls," said Anastas, who recalled deciding to mount an anti-drug crusade among athletes after new York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor was disciplined for failing a drug test and Canadian Olympian Ben Johnson lost his gold medal last summer after testing positive for steroid use. "When I heard he used steroids, I thought the American dream was shattered," Anastas said. "He was the greatest commercial for steroids, but it's shattered '.he work ethic that coaches try to instill in boys and girls, that if you run when others walk, sleep when others party, you can go anywhere in sports. Now the message is 'I can do it my way and cheat.' But that's a false package, and students need to know that," he added. Anastas said the new program, called Student Athletes Detest Drugs, will use the same technique as his drunk driving effort: students will sign cards pledging not to abuse drugs. "We'll give the cards to the athletic direc­ tor, who will pass them on to his coaches, who will discuss drug abuse with their teams. If they agree to sign the cards, then they'll also make a public statement. But they won't only be making a statement, they'll be sending a message to their parents, their brothers and sisters, their fellow students and their fans too. "Once you've committed publicly," Anastas said, "it's not easy to go to a party and down a six-pack or smoke a joint without feeling like a hypocrite." Participating colleges will get large "StuS«( SADD Parte 2 �THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDAY.

Existing university policies allow students over the age of 21 to drink in their dorm rooms. UConn officials started reviewing campus drinking policies last spring, when student celebrations of the school's National Invitational Tour­ nament basketball victory were mar­ red by several incidents of vandalism. Some students, however, dislike the prospect of further restrictions. "Legislating a dry campus is un­ necessary," said UConn student government President Ross Garber. "I've gotten some feedback from students who feel UConn should com­ ply with the state law but shouldn't restrict the activities of adults." "1 think the kids that want to drink would still get their alcohol from off campus," editor-in-chief of the cam­ pus newspaper James Amfpacher said. Connecticut, of course, is not alone in its efforts to curb student drinking. A few others are considering the idea of total prohibitions, too. At Michigan State University, ad­ ministrators last month conceded publicly they had considered an outright drinking ban but opted in­ stead to try to enforce existing policies more stringently. "The emphasis here is not to dry up the campus, literally, but it's to reduce the use and misuse of alcohol," MSU vice president for stu­ dent affairs James Studer said. In Louisiana, the Hammond City Council passed an anti-loitering or­ dinance last fall to discourage Southeastern Louisiana University students from hanging around outside after local bars and taverns close. Also last fall, the universities of Pennsylvania and Washington, In­ diana and Princeton universities and Cornell College in Iowa took steps to restrict campus drinking. The Junior Leagues started a threeyear alcohol awareness program aim­ ed at college women called "Woman to Woman: The Campus Generation." Alcohol contributes to many "life damaging" problems for college women, including date rape and drug abuse, Junior League spokeswoman Cary Curtis said. But while the trend appears to be moving towards limiting alcohol use on campuses, at least one school has Nobody knows better than we do how much help and understanding is needed for the family of a cancer patient. The patient's spouse is under tremendous stress, and the children are often forgotten or just plain left out. That's why our service and rehabilitation programs emphasize tire whole family, not just the cancer patient. We run local programs nationwide with millions of volunteers whose lives have been touched by family members or friends with cancer or who themselves are recovered cancer patients.

The resulting money pressure ap­ parently has changed the way the freshmen view the world, Astin and c? Green said. The economic recession that plagued families nationwide in the early 1980s and continues tc plague them in many farm and energy states changed the students, too. "These are the children of economic upheaval," Green said. "The recession of the '80s was worse than anything since the Depression (of the 1930s). Their loss of faith and preoccupation with jobs comes from that." A record number of freshmen— 72.6 percent—said they were going to college primarily to get higher-paying jobs later in life. By contrast, a majority of freshmen in 1968 viewed "the college years as a time for learning and personal development," Green said.

It's the time when happy people are happy together and leave unhappy people alone to wallow in their misery. It's the day couples are reminded how much in love they are; the day singles are reminded on every turn that they're not. It is the best and worst day of the year. Valentine's Day rtinks for people who are alone, especially for those who are only recently alone. Everywhere these poor estranged in­ dividuals look, they see roses, cards and paper cutout hearts. They truly see red. They begin to hate Cupid—after all, what is that thing he shoots anyway—a crossbow? Being alone on Valentine's Day does strange things to people. They lock themselves iti their rooms with boxes of tissue and listen to hour after hour of depressing love songs. They re-analyze all those "loves gone wrong." Many otherwise happy peo­ ple become 24-hour cynics who hate everything, especially love and people who partake of it. ("Hate love"—an interesting oxymoron, is it not?)

Maybe the new condom machines will see some use. All right, all right. It is nice that we have a day devoted to love—very nice in fact. Perhaps we should look at how we direct our love, though, and make some serious improvements in this area. Why do we, for instance, concentrate on romantic love? This state of existence, I will readily admit, is intoxicating, exhilarating, etc., but also very exclusive. Generally, one is only "in love" with one person (if one is that fortunate), but just plain old "loves" many people. These are the individuals who need the most atten­ tion today, not the person who knows already that the two of you are mutually wrapped. My roommate is in love. She has a diamond on her left hand. She spends long hours talking on the phone, long-distance. She will argue with me. So, in order to prove my generosity, I will attempt (repeat, attempt) to make some positive comments about the (in)famous red-letter day. Okay, let's give the poor day some credit. It does offer an opportunity for "lovers" (and I use that term loosely) to express their feelings for each other, whatever those emotions might be.

Symphony presents world-class music The Budapest Symphony last ap­ peared in the United States in 1979 and was met by the highest accolades and acclaim. The Budapest Sym­ phony, conducted by Andras Ligeti, one of Hungary's most respected con­ ductors, and accompanied by solo pianist, Leonard Pennario, will per­ form at Farthing Auditorium at ASU. The performance will be February 15 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Farthing Auditorium and are $4 for students and $8 for non-students. This event is sponsored by the performing Arts and Forum Series—a division of Students Programs. Establishing itself as one of Europe's leading orchestras, The Budapest Symphony has captured au­ diences at home and abroad. The or­ chestra has long been associated with some of the greatest luminaries of the musical world and is heir to the tradi­ tions of Hungary, famous for its highly developed cultural life, especially music. The Budapest Symphony Orchestra was founded at the time of the reorganization of the Hungarian Radio, just after World War II. Since that time it has toured widely in Austria, Holland, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, the Soviet Union, the United States and more. In addition to their appearances, their music has reached audiences in more than 50 countries, both on radio and on com­ mercial releases. During their last visit to the United States, the orchestra's artistic qualities were repeatedly praised by the American Press. The New York Times said, "The last time the or­ chestra played here (1973), it impress­ ed with its suavity and elegant way of making music. At this Carnegie Hall concert it cemented the initial impres­ sion. It is a supple and elegant or­ chestra. The solo playing was of a high standard throughout the even­ ing." The list of eminent guest conduc­ tors for the Budapest Symphony has included such names as Ferenc Friscay-, Krill Kondrashin, Georg Solti, and Otto Klemperer. The guest conductor for this tour will be Andras Ligeti. At age seventeen he was admit­ ted as a violin student to the Budapest "Gerenc Liszt" Academy of Music, where he was guided by Gerenc Halasz and gained a diploma in 1976 at the age of 23. He was also granted a Conductor's certificate in 1979 following studies with Andras Korodi. From 1976 to 1980, Ligeti seved as concertmaster of the Hungarian State Opera. During that time he was also appearing regularly as violin soloist throughout Europe and in Canada, having won two Hungarian violin competitions. In Hungary he was a member of the Eder Quartet and was leader of the Jeunesse Chamber Or­ chestra. From 1980 to 1985, he served as conductor at the Budapest Opera; after which time he was made conduc­ tor of the Budapest Symphony Or­ chestra. The Orchestra has also had many of the world's top-ranking soloists ap­ pear in concert while touring. Annie Fischer, Yehudi Menuhin, Ruggero Ricci and Sviatislav Riechter are among them. The list however, would not be complete without piano soloist, Leonardo Pennario. Few ar­ tists can match the brilliant ac­ complishments of this American pianist. An auspicious event marked the start of Leonardo Pennario's career. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra urgently needed a pianist to replace an indisposed artist. Sir Eugene Goosens (who knew of the dilemma) wired his high recommendation of the pianist, at that time a youngster of twelve years of age. The concerto to be per­ formed was the Grieg, and although Pennario had never seen, heard or studied the score, he made his profes­ sional debut within six days and played such a stunning performance he was immediately launched on one of the most glorious careers of American history. Acclaim springed from audiences and critics alike for his performances with the "Big Five": the Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic and the Cleveland Orchestra. Highlights for his 1984-85 season included a nationwide televi­ sion appearance on the PBS "Gala of Stars" hosted by Beverly Sills, in which the pianist performed Gershwins' "I Got Rhythm Variations" with Metropolitan Opera Music Director James Levine, conducting the American Symphony Orchestra. In his 1986-87 season, Leonard Pen­ nario applied his talent as one of the foremost interpreters of Gershwin at yet another Gershwin celebration. Because 1986-87 marked the 50th an­ niversary of Gershwin's death Pen­ nario performed the "I Got Rhythm Variations" and "Rhapsody In Blue" in its original Jazz Band version.

Maples and scrub oaks flashed by the glassed-in window of the train, green and brown blurs of time that approached and sped by and disap­ peared silently followed by more trees. The window pane rattled, jarred by the motion of the dining car. His face was pressed against the thick glass; his cheek a quiet, fleshy smudge on the maze of fingerprints already coating the window. Robie watched the blurs. They never stopped. He wished they would stop, at least slow down so he could tell what they were. He lived in the coun­ try, so he knew trees were beautiful. He and his father, in Robie's green days, had wandered in the forests near their home, naming trees, pluck­ ing wide leaves and skinny ones, roll­ ing tiny wads of sap between their fingers—Pappy's hard, calloused ones and Robie's tender, pink ones. Now he wanted more than ever to see those trees. He wanted more than ever for his world to slow down and make sense, to make separate colors. But more than that, he wanted to know why his father did it. He unwrapped the egg salad sand­ wich he had made early that morning when gray light had crawled up behind him in the dormitory kitchen, clinging to his thighs and spilling over his brow. By this time, the mayon­ naise had turned the bread soggy and dark. Robie opened his sandwich and sniffed it. It was still good. He ate it in tiny bites. The Saran Wrap, wrinkled and sad, fell noiselessly bv his shoes—his Sunday shoes, the shoes he wore when he met God. But today, he wasn't going to meet God. He was going to meet his father. The man who, in the silent sunny years of youth, Robie had thought WAS God. The man who had made Robie doubt. He was wearing his Sun­ day shoes to meet his father. And more than ever, he wanted to know why he did it. A rectangular green sign whiz/ed past the window. If Robie had been able to read that sign, he would have known that Bristol was twenty miles away. Twenty miles. Ten more minutes by train. Robie touched the hard cowhide of his suitcase. Inside of it were all of his belongings. His clothes, his other pair of shoes, his schoolbooks, his Bible, the pocket watch his Grandpapa had carried at the turn of the century; all were nes­ tled in the nooks of Robie's bag. His whole life was in that bag. He was heading home to Bristol with his life in a bag. wearing his Sunday shoes and wondering why, why, why. �THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1989 Appol Corps welcomes students B> NICOLE PARSONS slm-ial Hi I hi- Appalachian NV hile it may only be February, plans for fall Freshman Orientation hase II are in the works. One of the tirst and most crucial steps is the recruitment of Appol Corps leaders. Appol stands for Appalachian Orientation Leaders, and it's these leaders that make the difference bet­ ween a successful and unsuccessful freshmen orientation program. These leaders are also responsible for mak­ ing a new student's transition into col­ lege lite a little easier. Their purpose is to serve as a peer counselor and assist freshmen in adjusting to the campus during Phase II Orientation. Incoming freshmen who are unable 1 0 attend summer phase orientation participate in the fall phase instead. Phase II Orientation lasts approx­ imately four days, giving new students a chance to get acquainted with ASU. The Appol Corps Leaders them­ selves get a chance to meet others and develop or enhance their leadership skills, plus derive personal satisfac­ tion from helping other students. Specific responsibilities for Appol Corps leaders include serving as a peer leader for a gtoup of approximately 20 freshman students, conducting small sessions with the group, and at­ tending training programs (including an all day spring workshop). The time leaders spend with their group during Phase II will be an important element in making freshmen aware of per­ sonal, social, professional and educa­ tional options at ASU. Each Spring semester over 100 leaders are selected through an ap­ plication and interview process. They must have and maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA. Each Appol Corps leader Applications are currently being ac­ reports to an Appol Corps coorcepted until February 24 and may be dinator.

I decided that this had to be an obsessive/compulsive disorder—one of those 80's ailments that only shrinks and neurotic yuppies get, but then I read a few books about the late Andy Warhol.

No lie. . . WrestleMania has to be the biggest sporting event in either March or April. (This time it happens on April 2.) It makes me want to cry. Trump Plaza is going to be packed beyond capacity with loud, obnoxious teenagers and mindless blue-collar zombies that switch thei allegiance to different wrestlers quicker than a change of wind direction. Have you heard about th big scrap that Randy "Macho Man" Savage had two weeks ago with Hulk Hogan? I bet the Obnox ious family farm that'll be the big match come WrestleMania time. But the Obnoxious Guy could've told you that was going to happen weeks ago. Hulk accidentally knocked Savage over the top rope at the Royal Rumble on January 31st, but there's been rumors about Hogan and Savage's manager Elizabeth for a long time. As") was watching the Main Event two weeks ago, I thought about what hap­ pened on a Friday Night Main Event last year. Recite it with me now, wrestling fans.. .Hulk got pinned by Andre because of a refer ee's blunder. Andre then gives the belt to Ted DiBiase because the Mil lion Dollar Man bought Andre out weeks before the match. As a result all belt changes were nullified and a tournament took place at WrestleMania IV, which was won jby Savage. Now this year's stage is set for another ultimate showdown in the Trump Dome. I guess it's time for an Obnoxious PredieI tion... The winner will be the viewer in | TV Land that won't puke because of all this terrible overacting. Wasn't the scene in the first aid [room with Elizabeth on the gurney enough to make you heave? Where were the medical personnel? They probably ran to the concession stand to grab a Coke and a WWF ice cream bar. Yummy. Also, where were the security agents? Whatever Iwas going on in the ring was problably too important for security to pay attention to a petty tiff between Ithe MegaPowers. Do the good guys and the bad guys have different [dressing rooms? I don't know. While I'm at it, I have a few Iserious questions I must direct towards wrestling (Oops. It's |rasslin'): ASU loses to Furman B> MARK GILTMIER Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian lost to Furman for the sixth straight time 75-71. This dropped the Mountaineers out of the Southern Conference lead. After gaining an early 12-5 lead after a seven-point run the Apps saw a hot Paladin team make a seven-point run of their own and take the lead that would stand for the rest of the game. Furman, who got their second win over the Mountaineers of the season, shot 70.8 percent from the floor in the second half. The Mountaineers definitely were hurt without point guard Kemp Phillips, who will be out three to five weeks with an ankle injury. ASU could only manage to shoot 41.3 per­ cent from the floor and really never got their game plan together. Furman came on at the end of the first half and took a 32-27 halftime lead. The Paladins kept their energy up in the second half as they built a 45-36 lead with 15:26 left in the sec­ ond half. The Mountaineers tried to get themselves back into the game but every time they tried to make a move they were turned back by a deter­ mined Furman ball club. Rodney Peel, who had 14 points, hit a threepointer with 7:37 left in the game and helped the Apps to climb within 58-52. The two teams then traded baskets and Peel came back once again to nail a three-pointer and pull the Apps to the closest they had been to the Paladins since early in the first half. With the score now 69-67 with only 56 seconds left in the game the Mountaineers knew they had to make their move but once again, the hot shooting Paladins turned back the Apps and hit four crucial free throws down the stretch. Furman put the final nail in the cof­ fin as freshman Bruce Evans dunked the ball with 34 seconds left and again with 15 seconds, left to secure their 75-71 win. Appalachian's only bright spot was Center Sam Gibson, who had 21 Intramural Basketball popular By MARK GILTMIER Appalachian Staff Writer When it's January, cold outside, and you have nothing to do, why not try to catch an intramural basketball game at one of three places on cam­ pus? Intramural basketball takes place Monday through Thursday and Sun­ days from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Intramural basketball is one of the most popular intramural sports on campus and it's getting bigger every year. Every year more teams are created and more students get involved. Last year, the sport includ­ ed 152 men's teams and 18 women's teams while this year it has 157 men's teams apd 25 women's teams. Over 2,500 students are involved with intramural basketball, which is just under 25 percent of all students attending ASU. Anita Ware, who has been the head of intramural basketball since 1984, said, "the reason basketball is so popular compared to other intramural sports is because it's a real competitive, intense sport played indoors and out of the cold." Games are held at three different locations on campus—the Quinn Center, Broome-Kirk Gym, and Var­ sity Gym. Each team has the oppor­ tunity to play at each location because each playing surface is different Bv playoff time, Ware would like every student participating to be familiar with every floor. The goal of the schedule is to allow each team to play at least one game a week and sometimes two. Each team will play a seven-game season, with the top 25 percent making the playoffs at the end of the season. Ware said, "to make the playoffs you have got to have a pretty good bunch of ball players, more than one loss usually drops the team out of contention." The level of play is fair to the teams ninety percent of the time, and a team is matched up with another team with a record identical to theirs. The officiating is also fair to the teams. The officials must go through a series of official clinics and have the option of attending an officials class. "They do a very good job and do as well as expected," Ware said. Senior referee Patrick Wright, who has been calling games for two years, said, "the basketball program has an excellent crop of new referees this year and personally 1 find the job challenging." "We don't do it for the money but our primary concern is to develop a skill that could supplement a future career," Wright added. Intramural basketball is a lot of fun, but some teams do take it very Mountaineer mania Last week The Mountaineer Mania Trivia Quiz asked the question: Name the starting lineups of the two teams in the NBA Ail-Star Game. It was a simple question, and all you really had to do was watch television. An­ drew Hart did just that, and he is this week's winner of the $10 gift cer­ tificate from Mountaineer Mania. Congratulations to all the people who answered correctly. Also, thanks to Mountaineer Mania for providing a $10 gift certificate to the winner. Congratulations Andrew and enjoy your gift certificate front Moun­ taineer Mania. Look for another chance to win in Thursday's edition of The Appalachian.

SU the Mountaineers have three remaining games unti t Conference Tournament in Asheville March 3-5 SC kicks into second half By ROGER WATSON Assistant Sports Editor The Southern Conference Men's basketball season is halfway through and there have been many surprises thus far. Teams expected to do well have fallen below 500. The entire con­ ference has shown that parity is the word of the season. Let's take a look and see how individual teams have performed so far. Starting at the bottom of the con­ ference is Western Carolina. Their basketball team has experienced a lot during the past few years. One of the major changes was a change of head coaches. Dave Possinger now runs the show for Western and his reign has been laced with controversy. He was reprimanded by the Southern Con­ ference earlier in the year after he openly criticized the officials. The incident occurred after the Cata­ mounts were beaten by Appalachian in Varsity Gym. Possinger said the referees stole the game from Western and his team was never given a break. The Western team could possibly get a break if the NCAA investigation of the Western Carolina Basketball pro­ gram turns up any recruiting viola­ tions. Although the Catamounts have had a miserable season, they have beaten Furman in Greenville and several other games have been very close. They lost to Appalachian by only three points in the first meeting and it took two overtimes before they lost in Cullowhee. TennesseeChattanooga was also a close call, with Western losing by only 59-58, The Catamounts are not a typical last place team and they can't be taken lightly come tournament time. East Tennessee State has to be the disappointment of the year. The team is 4-6 in the conference with an overall record of 13-8. They were picked by Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News to finish first in the conference but those dreams have been shattered by poor conference performances. They started off the conference season by defeating Western Carolina, but then they lost three straight games to TennesseeChattanooga, Furman and Appalachian to fall to 1-3 in the con­ ference. The highlight of the year for the Buccaneers was the win over Wake Forest in Johnson City. The Bucs are not showing any signs of improvement as they started off the second half of the conference race by losing to The Citadel. It looks as if it's going to be a long, hard winter for the Bucs. The Marshall Thundering Herd is next on the ladder. The Herd has suf­ fered from the loss of Skip Hender­ son, last year's Southern Conference Player of the Year. The Herd has proven they can be a good team by beating some non-conference opponents such as Sunbelt power South Alabama, Ohio University, and Virginia Tech. Marshall appears to be getting better. They beat Western Carolina last Saturday to improve their conference record to 4-5 and they have a record of lu 1 This young team is rapidiyand has the potential 10 notch competitor come t time.

T h e confusing ft1" S«SC Women post lopsided yictori Winning on the road is not easy in the Southern Conference. Last Sun­ day, the Lady Mountaineer basketball team posted an impressive win at 85-80 over UT-Chattanooga to move their record to 14-7. Before travelling to take on the Lady Mocs, ASU took on rival UNC-Asheville at home. Against UNCA, the Lady Moun­ taineers used their superior inside athletes and the almost flawless play of Kim Johnson to blast away from the Lady Bulldogs and win 86-60. "Tonight was an interesting game. There were different styles of games played periodically throughout the contest. In the beginning, we let them score. Then our defensive intensity went from a one to a nine. We started making the easy steals, getting turn­ overs, going to the boards, and get­ ting into our running game to get easy shots," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said. 3) Why do the WWF take the time to make those pitiful excuses for albums?

Forwards Ben Miller and Ronnie Christian also add­ ed 13 and 11. "We couldn't stop them in the sec­ ond half. We tried putting pressure on their shooters and we tried backing off them to stop the drive, but they kept hitting their shots. We tried several defenses, but when people hit their shots on you, it really doesn't make a lot of difference. Unfor­ tunately, we couldn't stop them and that was the name of the game," Coach Tom Apke said. This was Appalachian's first loss since four straight wins including a road win against UTC last Monday night. The loss drops the Apps to 17-5 and 6-4 in the conference. Furman raised it's record to 13-9 and 6-3 in the conference and now stands alone atop the Southern Conference. Appalachian and UTC are in second place, and The Citadel is third with a 5-4 conference record. "It really hurts our kids to lose first place in the league," Apke said. UNCA did manage the first two buckets of the game to grab a 4-0 lead. With only one minute having passed in the game, Senior forward Kim Johnson took down an offensive rebound and hit a layup, connected with Beth Laney for an easy inside bucket, and rattled in a 19-foot jumpshot to put the Lady Apps ahead 6-4. "We had Kim Johnson defending their best athlete. She did a great job of getting into the passing lanes and boxing out. Kim wasn't feeling 100 percent, but played 100 percent," Robinson said. Johnson finished the game with 23 points and six assists. ASU s fine defense and strength on the boards was more apparent in the first half as the Lady Mountaineers out-rebounded UNCA 25-15 and outscored the Lady Bulldogs 46-28. Freshman sensation Shannon Thomas played no small role in the Lady Apps success. A power forward from High Point, Thomas shot an incredible 9-12 from the field finishing with 20 points, hauled down 10 rebounds, and also served up three blocked shots. Shannon and Beth (Laney) shut off their inside play and allowed us to get into our running game. As a freshman, Shannon is working very well with Beth. They complement each other's game," Robinson said. Before the final buzzer, all 11 players for ASU played valuable minutes to keep what could be the deepest bench in the Southern Conference sharp. We have to get our kids playing time. Our bench strength is instrumental to our success down the road," Robinson said. Other superlative performances were had by Joanie Bracked with nine assists and Glenda Cunningham with 11 rebounds. For the team, ASU's 30 assists" against UNCA sets a new team assist record breaking the old mark of 29 set against Central Florida in 1987.

I if you haven't been to top 42 affects ASU By ROGER WATSON A p p a l a c h i a n Sports Editor L as t Tuesday, The Appalachian ovided a look at how Proposition 5g2 was affecting athletics on the narional level. This week, we put more c \ a local flare to the rule as Ap­ palachian State academic counselor jjrad Berndt helped to clarify the 'complicated rules involved in the new proposal and told how it would affect Jtcruiting at ASU. One rule pointed put was the rule that under the current proposition 48, an athlete must have ^cumulative GPA of 2.0 and a SAT —^ore of 700. In my recent column en­ titled It's All In The Numbers, I said an athlete must have one of the two. 1 hat is wrong. Both requirements must be present for an athlete to play his freshman year. Proposal 42 would require those qualifications before the student could receive an athletic scholarship. Berndt brought the issue down to a local level by telling how the new pro­ posal will affect ASU. "I don't think it will affect ASU at all. A score df 700 on the SAT is not that difficult. If they didn't have a score of 700 on the SAT or a GPA of 2.0 it's very unlike- THE FOCAL POINTE, Intramural ly that they would get in ASU. We have no special admission standards for athletes," Berndt said. Berndt said ASU has never admit­ ted an athlete that didn't meet the re­ quirements of the new proposal. He also said more discussion must be had before a decision is made about whether the proposal is to go into ef­ fect in 1990. Then a fair decision can be made. With the requirements to get into state colleges being toughened, it is very unlikely that ASU will have a problem with Proposition 48 athletes. you're missing more ihan meets the eyes!

They have a conference record of 6-4 and an overall record of 12-11. They have been at or near the top of the con­ ference throughout the season, but have a knack for getting beaten just when it seems everything is under control. The Moccasins lost to •Appalachian State twice, and the last time the Mountaineers were playing without guard Kemp Phillips. They have also lost to VMI. The Mocs are Sill at the top of the conference and are only a game out of first, but they •Mi# play better against the lower division teams if they expect to be the Eirsi seed in the tournament. Appalachian State is also tied for *«cond and has had a roller-coaster >w. It started out great, with con­ ference wins over Tennessee- Chattanooga and Western Carolina, but then they lost two straight road games to Furman and The Citadel, Now ASU is 6-4 in the conferende after losing to Furman for the second time Saturday night. The Apps look promising as they finish up the season against East Tennessee State, VMI, and Marshall. How well the Moun­ taineers will overcome the injury to Kemp Phillips will determine how they finish this season. With a record of 17-5, the Mountaineers have a great shot at a 20-win season. Sitting at the top of the conference! is Furman. The Paladins have had a very impressive season. They only disappointments have been losing to Western Carolina and to VMI in three overtimes. The Paladins have beaten second place Appalachian twice, so even if the two teams tie, Furman will get the first-place seed. They have a conference record of 6-3 and an overall record of 13-9. The rest of the conference schedule looks pretty easy for Furman, with TennesseeChattanooga being the only upperdivision team they have to face. The conference has been very unpredictable and fun to watch this year. The tournament will most likely be the determining factor in which team will go to the NCAA tourna­ ment. Although it is possible that more than one team from the Southern Conference will be chosen, it doesn't appear to be very likely. The closest team to a 20-win season is Appalachian and the lack of strength in App's schedule will not help the situation at all. The tournament is March 3 through 5 in the Asheville Civic Center. It should be a great tournament and after spring break, The Appalachian will provide coverage of what happened to who and how.

If our teachers &re not receiving the earnings they need, North Carolina as a whole is likely to suffer for years to come when teachers begin to leave in search of higher paying jobs.

Q: Should the ASU administration be more open to questioning on importance to the public? Education is integral to each facet of society.

Drugs abused less According to a survey sent, developed by the University Committee for a Drug-Free Campus, ASU students abuse drugs and alcohol less than many other university students. i his may be due to the large percentage of drug awareness programs sponsored by the school.

Our minds are " black holts By MIKE SOLLECITO Appalachian Columnist The ability to think is often limited by the expectations of your mind's horizons. If one's views are impaired by the limitations of another's thoughts, surely the mind will suffer. When one accepts all statements without question, their mind has been sabotaged. No one individual can claim to be totally learned in any area. Many attempt to make others believe that their thoughts are eternal. The thoughts of the mind are infinite. The brain of a living being should never be stagnant. When the brain no longer asks questions, it has been conquered by the superficial powers of society. So many people no longer think or ask questions; the ideas of today are per­ manent. Many laws, theories, and formulas have been written by geniuses of the past. We seem to study these theories as if no others exist. Has the mind been totally explored? Have all horizons been exposed to man's senses? In so many cases today, we teach with no inspiration, no dreams, no imagination. The student who fails in the classroom does not stand alone. The teacher who neglects to inspire and excite the student's mind fails far more than any pupil. But even worse, our entire society suffers due to the lack of mental stimualation. Knowledge is often used as a crutch to prevent us from fully developing the untouched thoughts which exist beyond the state of logic. Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein never read about the lightbulb or the theory of relativity. These ideas became reality through their mind's capacity to think. Knowledge is a great tool to use to stimulate your mind's capacity to think. But when you begin to concen­ trate only on the logical aspects of knowledge, then you have indeed crippled your mind's capabilities! It is a shame for one to teach the same subject over, and over, and over again.

When an instructor's gestures, comments and ideas begin to stagnate into a puddle, it reflects no more than an empty space of darkness in the pupil's mind. We all have heard of the "Black Hole" theory in physics. Well this so called "Black Hole" can exist in one's own mind. If the space within has become so constant that it no longer asks questions, it forms no fresh ideas, it imagines no new creative thoughts, it simply exists to exist.

There has already been some idle chatter about mutiny, with some difference of opinion over how long we were re­ quired to wait, and what kind of degree our teacher had. After he ap­ peared, though, it no longer mat­ tered, and the chatter gave way to boo's and miscellaneous curses. The professor took the jeering in stride musing: "1 have a great job; the people who pay my salary are hap­ pier when I don't come to work at all." If higher education has problems, this phenomenon is probably the worst one of those problems. Charles Sykes may be correct in say­ ing that there is deadwood among our college professors, but the stu­ dent body has been infiltrated with termites. Jim Sanders ASU Box 06961 Overturning Rowe vs. Wade wouldn't solve anything To the Editor: On the other hand, Ms. Hall, women (especially liberated American women) will have abor­ tions, whether it is legal or not. That is a fact. I had a beautiful little student at Old Dominion who had an abortion in one of the old illegal "clinics" before abortions were legal. That socalled clinic allowed her two hours to recuperate, then took her out into an alley and leaned her against a wall, abandoning her. She passed out. Fortunately, a good Samaritan came along and took her to the hospital. It almost cost her her life, but in her desperation, she would not have done otherwise. She is an example of tens of thousands of other women all over the nation. I am making no moral judgement concerning whether abortion is right or wrong. Looking at it pragmatical­ ly, I know that most women who want them will continue to have abortions whatever laws are passed. I respect your opinion against them because you have earned that right as well as the opinions of other sincere women, but 1 have no pa­ tience with men, with fanatics, with religious groups who have one-track minds, and closed-minded conser­ vatives. 1 think they are myopic as hell for not understanding the needs of many unfortunate women. There are certain things Americans demand, and they will have them. The 18th Amendment was repealed because enough voters demanded their alcohol. If abortion becomes a crime, I predict that after a certain period of bloody, illegal abortions, that law too will be repealed in the name of common sense. After all, Mohemed must always go to the mountain. 11 Give yourself a hand against breast cancer Tuned engines. less air pollution. *0, AMERICAN sL CANCER f SOCIETY She Ga£dmi Ra WW WW WW ft; Men's Hair Kut $8.00 Men's Kut & Style.. . 5TSGQ $13.00 Lady's Hair Kut $10.00 Lady's Kut & Style. .

In the arti­ cle, you flagrantly made an accusa­ tion that defamed our character— and I quote: " . . .the individuals in these groups need to spend their free time in a more productive manner than partying." You obviously bas­ ed your opinion on just one academic semester and didn't bother to do any research. For instance, our accumulative GPA is a 2.36, and that is higher than six other fraternities on campus, but you fail­ ed to mention that. In 1986, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity received a pla­ que for having the highest GPA on campus for that academic semester, and presently we have a graduation ratio of 91 percent. I would like to further submit that Appalachian State University school policy states a student must have at least a 2.0 to pledge, but we require those in­ terested in pledging Alpha Phi Alpha have a GPA of no less than 2.3. When making future references pertaining to Greek GPAs, par­ ticularly Alpha Phi Alpha, please ac­ cumulate more facts so as not to de­ mean those of us who do not spend all of our free time partying.

Real-Estate Commission into the actions of Real Estate Broker and former State Representative Wade Wilmoth, created disputes between Broker Dale H. Ward and the Foundation. The property had a bidding deadline of 9:55 a.m. on October 29, 1986. Questions have arisen concern­ ing this bidding and decision making process. « Appalachian Photo by Forrest MocCormack Vice Chancellor for Development Bob Snead In a written document to Deputy Legal Counsel Black well M. Brogden, Jr. of the N.C. Real Estate Commis­ sion, Snead said, "On Wednesday morning, October 29, at approx­ imately 9:30 a.m., Wade Wilmoth (who handled the property for the Foundation) appeared in my office with two offers. They were a $315,000 cash offer from Winkler (acting as Ward's agent) and a $351,000 offer with acceptable terms from Paul Brown. 1 accepted the $351,000 offer." "Sometime after 10:00 I received a call from John Winkler with another offer from his clients for $400,000 in cash," Snead said. "1 informed him that I could not accept the offer because it was past our agreed upon deadline. In a later interview, Snead told The Appalachian that an oral offer to pur­ chase is not a legal offer to purchase and that all the people interested had equal opportunity to bid. Snead did, however, say that a late bid could be accepted. According to the April 30, 1987 minutes of the Foundation's Invest­ ment Advisory Committee, Ward complained to the committee that he had been treated unfairly in his efforts to obtain the property. The consensus of the committee was that Mr. Ward's complaint should be with the broker, Wade Wilmoth, and not with the Foundation. Ward was later arrested and charged with breaking and entering into Wilmoth's office. Ward, along with another broker, was accused of trying to take a file containing his written offers to the Foundation. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of breaking and entering and received a three-year probation. In a letter to the N.C. Real Estate Commission, Investment Advisory Committee member Phil Templeton said "According to Mr. Ward and to the best of my knowledge, the listing was never advertised to the public, shared with MLS (Multiple Listing Service) brokers or even made known to other salespeople or the broker in charge within Wilmoth's own office." Snead said the property was adver­ tised for five years or longer. "Whenever we get a piece of proper­ ty, we add it to the list (of Foundation properly for sale).

"I would say at this point, what you got it on the market for and what you 're willing to sell it for is a world of difference in terms of this." "When you say advertising, I don't know that's necessarily advertising but Foundation property was always for sale and people always knew it was for sale because from time to tinie we sold bunches of property," Snead said. In his letter and deposition, Templeton said, "I observed a number of unusual procedures occur­ ring during the sale of this property which appeared to be both a breach of ethics and also a violation of real estate law." "I expressed my concerns to Mr. Bob Snead," Templeton said, "but to my knowledge only superficial inquiries were undertaken to deter­ mine (he propriety of the actions bv the listing broker."

"A lot of people put their houses up for sale for inflated prices, not wanting to sell their house, but if somebody comes along willing to buy it at that price, they'd sell it and move because they could make a major profit," Snead said. There is a discrepancy concerning why a deadline was set. Snead, in his written account, said "Winkler asked if we could set a deadline on the proc- repairs and alterations. Repairs and renovations would be made to SmithWright Hall, Chapell Wilson Hall, Broome-Kirk Gym and Varsity Gym. Senator William Goldston, Jr. of Reidsville raised the question of an increase in tuition. Thomas respond­ ed by saying, "you'll find us resisting a tuition raise." "I think the projects are well need­ ed but you have to realize that there are 15 other Stale Institutions," Senator Alexander Sands of Eden said. "All of us are going to do what we can to support the University System, particularly Appalachian," he added. "We've got to be realistic...! don't think student fees are a sacred cow. We've got to look at it and see if the students can afford it," Senator Daniel Simpson of Morganton said. " I think you need to look realistically at student tuition," he added. In introducing the proposals, Trivette said, "we have done a lot of work concerning the long range plans. In order to carry out the plan, we need funding. If we are going to be an excellent university we need to have the tools to work with." ess so we could bring all of this to an end." Templeton, however, said in his deposition that "both Mr. Winkler and Mr. Ward have stated to me that they did not ask that a deadline be set on offers being submitted, but that they had requested a reply to their offer by the following morning, October 29, 1986."

I have great professional respect for him as an able academic leader and administrator and warm personal regard for him as an educator who has made significant contributions to this institution over the years." Durham, a native of Perry, Fla., received a B.S. degree from Wake Forest and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Georgia in mathematics. He joined the Ap­ palachian faculty in 1965 as a pro­ fessor in the mathematical sciences department, and was named chair of the department in 1967. In 1971 he was named associate dean of the faculties—a position which became associate vice chancellor for academic affairs in 1972 when Appalachian became part of the UNC system. He was named acting vice chancellor in 1979. Editor's Note: Charlie Peek of The 8 inston-Salem Journal contributed access to several of the documents quoted in the text of this article. B.U.LL.D.underway By D1ANNE WALLY Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU Student Development Center is offering eleven B.U.LL.D. Leadership workshops this semester. Student Development and Leader­ ship Specialist, Nancy Jones said, "B.U.LL.D. is an acronym for Better Understanding into Leadership Development, and the whole concept came from our wanting students to better understand the development of leaders, and that leaders can be developed." Three of the workshops, Leader­ ship Tips for the New Officer, Select­ ing and Developing New Leaders, and Leadership Challenges and Planned Strategies for the Black Student, have already been, conducted. There are eight workshops remaining. How to Start and Succeed as a Leader at Appalachian will be held on Thursday, February 16 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Forum Room. This workshop will be conducted by Jones and Coordinator of Residential Pro­ grams Anne Sperry. The Importance of Communication for Today's Leader will be conducted on Tuesday, February 21 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Forum Room. It will be taught by Chairperson of Com­ munication Arts Dr. Charles Porterfield. A workshop on the Essentials ot Effective Writing Skills for Leaders will be conducted on Wednesday, March 15 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Forum Room. The facilitator will be Coordinator of Student Publications Mary Ann Sabo. A workshop on Delegating Effec­ tively will be held on Tuesday, March 21 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in Our House. The assistant director of intramurals will conduct the workshop. How to Build and Improve Your Leadership Image will be conducted on Tuesday, April 4 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Forum Room. It will be taught by Counselor of Career Plan­ ning and Placement Kathy Sack. According to Jones, the B.U.LL.D. Leadership workshops were created to allow students who cannot take a leadership class to develop their leadership skills. "This program is meant to build a solid foundation of leadership fun­ damentals for anvbodv," Jones said. A workshop on Leadership and Its Motivational Factor is scheduled for Wednesday, April 12 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Forum Room. Campaign Director for the Alumni Office Tom Lawson will serve as its facilitator. Preventing Leader Burnout will be held on Tuesday, April 18 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Forum Room.

Also, according to Templeton, Snead stated to a meeting of the Investment Advisory Committee that acceptance of further offers was stopped because "things were getting out of hand," apparently referring to the higher offers. Snead says no wrongdoing took place. "No one that I can determine in this transaction except for Mr. Ward did anything illegal or unethical in this matter," Snead said. "I feel very comfortable with my conscience and Mr. Wilmoth's and everybody else's." The N.C. Real Estate Commission has cleared Wilmoth of any wrongdo­ ing but, according to The WinstonSatem Journal, is holding the case file open should other information be uncovered. Viet' Chancellor of Academic Affairs Harvex Durha m Susie Greene will conduct the workshop. "The workshops are not just for people who are already leaders; they are for the general ASU population," she added. "When we say leaders, we're not just talking about the top 2 percent of this campus. Everyone has the potential to be a leader." According to Jones, the faculty and staff are very supportive of the B.U.LL.D. program. "We're not try­ ing to compete with the academie classrooms; we are trying to comple­ ment what they're doing. We want students to be successful in the classroom as well as in their cocurricular activities." Jones said one important aspect of the B.U.LL.D. program is to give students an edge when competing for jobs after graduation. "If a student participates in workshops," she said, "the Student Development Center documents these voluntary efforts toward improve­ ment on the student's Leadership transcript." When applying for a job, the stu­ dent can send his Leadership transcript along with his Academic transcript- to the prospective employer. The Student Development Center and the B.U.LL.D. program are con­ tinually expanding. This growth includes starting a Leadership Resource Center and conducting several all-day workshops, including a Greek Leadership Workshop, a Women's Leadership Conference and ar Outdoor Leadership Retreat. �I III-.

This is intended to be a time for peo­ ple of all races to recognize and celebrate the achievements of Black Americans. Unfortunately, many people have never heard of people such as Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, Phillis Wheately, Benjamin Banneker, or Langston Hughes. All of the aforementioned, and countless other Black Americans, helped to shape this country. Despite their importance, many of us have never heard of these individuals and are unaware of their contributions in the areas of biology, chemistry, engineering, agriculture, politics, medicine, literature and education. The reason we do not know about these people is because they are not studied in the classroom often enough. Howevever, I would like to see this change. There are a few courses offered at this university whieh focus—on Blacky Americans. These courses teach students about the auctrffipTishments and contribTT tions of Black Americans. My ques­ tion is, why do these people and their achievements have to be restricted to such courses when they benefitted people of all races? Why are people such as Frederick Douglass, Langston Hughes, Phillis Wheately, Gwendolyn Brooks, and W.E.B. DuBois overlooked in literature classes? Why do we not learn about the discoveries and • advances made by Black Americans such as George Washington Carver, Dr. Charles Drew, Percy Julian, and Dr. Daniel Hale Williams in science classes? Furthermore, why are blacks only -mentioned in historical classes when slavery, the Civil War, or the Civil Rights Movement are discussed? Of course, these were important periods in our history, but blacks did exist before and after these periods and were doing important things. For instance, it was a black maty Benjamin Banneker, who constructed the parts for and assembled the first clock made in America. It was also a black man, Garret A. Morgan, who invented the first traffic light and the first successful gas mask. A black doctor named Daniel Hale Williams was the first doctor to operate suc­ cessfully on the human heart. Another black doctor, Dr. Charles Drew, developed techniques for separating and preserving blood. His developments allowed people to receive blood transfusions which have undoubtedly saved millions of lives. And how many people know that a black man accompanied Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition, or that a black man accompanied Admiral Peary and was actually the first American to step foot on the North Pole and plant the American flag, or that a black man, as an associate of AlexanderGraham Bell, executed the patent drawings for the first telephone and invented and patented the first incandescent electriclight bulb with a carbon filament? These are just a few of the facts about Black History that few people know. Black Americans have won Nobel Prizes, Pulitzer Prizes, and have had monuments, statues, and buildings erected in their honor all over this country. Why are they ignored? 1 encourage all people, especially black people, to learn about the accomplishments, achievements, con­ tributions, and advancements made by black people throughout our coun­ try's history. We have a heritage which we can be extremely proud of. - BI.ACK HISTORY MONTH: February is Black History Month. We take time out to honor not only Black Americans whose contributions to our culture are well known, but also to the Blacks whose By LEATHA L. FIELDS Appalachian Stall W riter Tom Cruise-Haters of the World,Unite! Don't you just hate Tom Cruise? 1 think—no, I'm certain—that out of all the Preppy Young Volatile Actors plastered all over Hollywood in the 1980's, he is my most despised. He takes the no-talent cake. He's worse Visionary artists deserve credif Appalachian Slaff Writer I was tuned in to MTV's "120 Minutes" a week or so ago and I got to see a CUTTING EDGE video selection by The BoDeans. I kinda lik­ ed them a few years back, I listened to the tape and I think 1 may have even sung along with the chorus of a song or two. A couple of years ago, The BoDeans were really one of THE cool bands to be into. But today? As soon as all the hype from good magazine reviews wore off, I sorta got bored with them. Occasionally, I'd think about this-it dawned on me that there were really a . lot of dull, CRITICALLY AC­ CLAIMED bands. Bryan Adams, Mr. Wholesome, gets good reviews! George Michael, Mr. White-Boy tryin' not to sound so white on the radio next to Public Enemy (or else he might get his butt kicked)— got 4 stars out of 5 in Rolling Stone! And Bon Jovi got 3 out of 5! It's bad medicine all right. What is the reason behind all of this unnecessary acclaim? Popularity/populism? Burned out critics? Editors forcing writers to like what the readers like? Actually, it's all of the above. Lou Reed once said that there hasn't been anything original in rock-and-roll since around 1970. Everything just kept being rearranged. This isn't en­ tirely true—Joy Division and The Sex Pistols changed R&R history; The Grateful Dead are in more punchlines valuable contributions have been overlooked by the history books. Activities to celebrate Black History Month are scheduled throughout February. Cruise and MTV destroy culture SMTM ' 1 l i J l U S e f By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Photo by Troy Horock than Dan Quayle. But many bands (regardless of style) tend to drift along, very profoundly "influenced" by what somebody else sounds like. This happened as much in the '60's as it does today. But I haven't caught the next generation of Dylans, Lennons, Syd Barretts, or Lou Reeds on the radio like the last one was, either. Aha! Then there IS original, creative music being done today. It just usually doesn't get onto the radio. People, therefore, don't hear it. You don't see it in Rolling Stone magazine. This means that the next generation of Dylans and Lennons will go unheard and unheralded and will wind up collecting dust in $3.98 See VISIONARY Page 4 than Rob Lowe. Rob Lowe, although he held on to that same basic emo­ tional range (rebellious, smoldering, tempermental), managed to at least play different types of characters in different roles. Cruise, on the other hand, seems to re-enact the same character prototype over 'n' over 'n' over. Hey—if I wanted to pay four buqks tq see the same , person again and again, I'm sure my boyfriend could use the money. Let!s take a little cinematic retrospective journey, shall we? Tom Cruise's film career in a nutshell: The Outsiders: No starring role for Cruise yet, but he's already perfected that Greased-Back Hair look. Risky Business: insensitive teenager (Cruise) meets sensitive hooker (Rebecca De Mornay) who changes him into a good person after cheating him out of all his money. Top Gun: insensitive fighter pilot (Cruise) meets sensitive female Navy employee (Kelly McGillis) who changes him into a good person by showing him true love. Cocktail: insensitive bartender (Cruise) meets sensitive artist who changes him into a good person in­ terested in settling down. Rainman: insensitive sportscar dealer (surprise) meets sensitive autistic brother, who changes him in­ to a good person by giving him the opportunity to take care of someone other than himself. "What's next?" the general movie- viewing public asks breathlessly. What I wanna know is, are all these callous jerk-type roles merely the roles Cruise can play best, or is he really as much of a jerk in person? .Cruise will be aging soon, rand quick­ ly. What types of movies will he make as he gets older? Some potential plots I've dreamed up are: —Insensitive Fuller Brush man (Cruise) meets sensitive housewife (Donna Reed) who changes him into a good person by showing him the beauty of Microwave Lean Cuisine. —Insensitive agnostic (Cruise) meets sensitive Zen Buddhist (Ben Kingsley) who changes him into a good person by enlightening him with the wonders of transcendental meditation. And finally... —Insensitive geriatrics patient (Cruise) meets sensitive female senior citizen (Bea Arthur) who changes him into a good person by introducing him to the amazing therapeutic value of Geritol.

BALDWIN Appalachian ColumniM "But Jack, you never do that." Mona sank into a heaving mass on the floor. The trip to the bathroom had over-exerted her. "Jack, darling, will you light another incense? Use passionfruit. I'm in the mood." She stretched out on her side, imagining that she loolced like Cleopatra cruising down the Nile on her barge, being fed grapes by one of her slave-lovers. Jack looked at her lying on the floor and thought she looked like a sculpture of a reclining Buddha that the artist was ashamed of and had covered with a peachcolored tent. He lit a cone of pine incense and visited the bathroom. As he was relieving himself, he noticed that Mona had been reading Women Who Love Too Much while she was taking a dump. He couldn't help but notice the poster above her toilet that proclaimed, "Anything men can do, women can do better." Yeah, he thought, anything except maybe piss standing up. He purposely left the toilet seat up and returned to the living room to find Mona pouting. "I said passionfruit, not pine," she whined. "So?" "Well, you know I don't like pine when we...when we...when we.. .you know." "What makes you think we're going to do that?" "I'm in the mood." "That's nice.

"For starters, you'll have to apologize." "Okay, Jack. I'm really sorry." "Not to me." "Then who. . . " Mona began. Jack gave her a meaningful look, then he leaned back against the wall and spread his legs. "Start talking," he said. "But Jack, that's against my morals. It's degrading. It's antifeminist." Jack made a move to stand up. Mona knew that if he stood up, he would leave. "Okay. Okay. Okay. What's his name?" "You may call him Pete." "Okay. Pete, I'm sorry. I didn't mean..." "Don't look at me while you're talking to him. Look at Pete. It's only common courtesy." Mona focused her attention on Jack's crotch. "I'm really sorry that ' 4 offended you." "What else?" "Isn't that enough?" "No. Tell Pete how you think all good things are phallic and masculine." "You egotistical bastard!" "You want it or not?" "Pete, all good things are masculine and phallic." "What else would you like to say to him?" "You want more?" "I couldn't care less, but Petey's still pretty pissed off. Why don't you try telling him how much you like him as a person?" "Petey, you know how I feel about you. I love you." "Thank you, Mona. Pete thanks you too. That should do for starters." "For starters!" "For starters," Jack said firmly. He went into the kitchen and returned with a large Hefty bag. "Do you know what's going in here?" "No," Mona pouted. "First, that plastic dick on your nightstand. That damn thing could keep a rhinoceros happy. But then again, I suppose it does." "Jack!" "Shut up and do it!" Mona threw the vibrator into the garbage bag. "Now," Jack said, "all the bad men-good women books." "No." "Now." More than a dozen books went into the bag. "And the Cucum­ bers—A re-Better—Than—Men— Because poster."

Members of Boone's best bands told me Majosha were better than any of our local bands.. .1 was skeptical. Who knows, it could have been all the beer, but I wound up having a great time. Majosha (as much as I hate to categorize bands) sounds something like a bizarre hybrid of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and They Might be Giants with a fair amount of Joe Jackson influence in the vocals and a little (!)

No, it's not male burlesque—I believe it is more like musical bur­ lesque. Harvi Griffin, world-famous harpist, dazzled Boone with his per- Major." To those unfamiliar with its technical term, this is the song from the movie Ordinary People that we have all heard on the G.E. Soft White Light Bulb commercial. Griffin said he even heard it in supermarkets and the dentist's office. Also popular, a jazzy "Suicide Is Painless," the theme from M*A*S*H, was per­ formed along with "Come In From "Ladies, I promise not to go too far," grinned Harvi Griffin, throwing off the coat to his tux and unbuttoning his shirt.

The concert, consisting only of Harvi, his harp, and two Bose speakers, provided such an intriguing medley of sound that the audience was totally hypnotized from the moment he plucked the first string. The evening began with "Greensleeves" (What Child Is This) played in a slow, nostalgic rhythm. However, Griffin picked up the tem­ po the second time through and add­ ed a strumming effect on the third. His next selection was "Air In Varia­ tions" written in the eighteenth cen­ tury by Handel. At its completion, a young child in the front row squealed, "More!" Griffin chuckled warmly as he picked up the microphone to introduce his next piece, "Canon in D The Rain" by Melissa Manchester. To show off his,vocal talents, Griffin played an original—a song he calls his "male chauvinist pig song." This tune is all about sandy beaches, high temperatures, and women in skimpy bikinis. He added a Jimmy Buffettlike effect by singing with a Jamaican accent and strumming a reggae tempo. Griffin, with his courteous nature, even introduced those of us in the audience to the lady who travels everywhere with him—she, of course, being his harp. He affectionately calls her "Victoria." Victoria, the largest of all harps, has seven pedals and forty-seven color coded strings. "No, I don't play by color!" laughs Griffin as he proceeded to give the audience a By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Slaff Writer One of the first people I recognized as I walked into Legends on January 26 was Tom Lamb, a guy I met at my Phase I Orientation. "Shawn, you don't look like a Creek freak kind of guy," he told me while swigging on his first can of beer. "No, I'm here to review the show for the paper." "Are you going to be merciful?" "Probably not." "C'mon, Shawn. Be openminded." I'm trying my best to be that tonight. I still feel like calling the Boone Police because a blatent three- hour-long robbery is about to occur. Tonight confirms my notion that ASU students are strange. There's not a single metalhead to be found. No chicks clad in leather or fishnet, no studs in muscle shirts stinking of cheap beer. Everybody looks NICE! Is this a late Christmas party? Whether or not these people are in the holiday spirit, they've come to get rocked, whatever that means. So far I have a bet about what songs will be covered: 1) "Sweet Child .O' Mine;" 2) "Bad Medicine;" 3) "Here I Go Again." Better throw in "Runaway" while I'm at it. "Hey ASU!! Are you ready to PARTYYYYY??!!??" No, I cared. It aliy matter, as long as I £ r_ n C a l l e d " m e n." L S ^ e would have Jfcff t<!

He said the tradtional angelic sound we associate v ith the harp is produced by a technique called "glissando." Although Griffin uses glissando in his repetoire of sounds, he says those who call it angel music must not know much about him! He then demonstrated how one may achieve the effect of different instruments— fingernails near the sounding board for a guitar and strumming the middle of the string for a harpsichord. Harvi said where you press and play depends upon each individual string and harp. Griffin began to wrap up his pro­ duction by playing jazz classic "Take Five" in 5/4 time—a move his former music teacher strongly opposed. But the reaction from the crowd was quite favorable as everyone stood in ova­ tion. Griffin bowed gracefully, exited stage, and then reappared for an encore. His selection was a ballad having to do with an old man and a young boy talking about life. Entitled "I've Never Been To Me," Griffin began to cry as he sung its tender lyrics. I had tears in my eyes as the audience rose again in standing ovation. Griffin has recorded three albums and played in the White House 20 times. He travels across the United States, Europe, and the Far East and was the National Association of Cam­ pus Activities entertainer of the year in 1987.

(This ex­ cellent piece of recorded art and future piece of music history is available at Record & Tape Depot.) Majosha will be performing at Sollecito's again on St. Patrick's Day (March 17 for the uninformed among you). If you like yourselves at all and want to have fun and experience ex­ cessive pleasures of the flesh and be known as the ultimate party beast, you will be there. In the meantime, visit Sollecito's this weekend. Big Bump and The Stun Gunz as well as the Soul Snatchers will be perform­ ing. Sollecito's has created a wonder­ ful place for us to party and drink—let them know we appreciate it. The Creek Jeez, I knew they'd say that. The Creek looks like that average rock band in those Coors Light TV ads. They could sing about the Silver Bullet not slowing down the people who want to rock. I remember back when they were Sugarcreek, loved by all in North and South Carolina, later to become "sugar free" in 1986. But now allow me to introduce NUTRACREEK. It's lighter, more refreshing, and no aftertaste. The guitarist flips his geetar around just like the guy in Poison! Check out the hip action on the bass player. Two girls near me are in love, perhaps in heat. Why didn't I say they'd do "Rag Doll"? Too bad this isn't a packed Pavillion in Myrtle, the Creek's stomping ground. There you can have drunken teenagers in nothing but beach regalia getting down to the music. Here the people are so welldressed, they don't want to sweat on their studgear. Sure, they yell, but only when they're told. Legends looks more like the Ramesses exhibit in Charlotte —full of mummies decorated for burial. Before I get into the covers, they broke out some brand new songs along with their most notable tunes, "Rock the Night Away," "What a Night," and "Six Days 'Til Sunday," probably not an ode toward their TV football habit. "Storm the Gate" doesn't sound like anything you haven't heard before and their new version of "Hanky Panky" was taken from the closet, hung on a line, and beaten to death. A new album will be out by them in the summer with the title We Do Our Own Stuff Sometimes given. An hour has passed and they played "Sweet Child"! I actually got a pick right.. .and the crowd begins to rise above apathy. What I wish I could see now are some real "Guns Lovers" take this crowd to the cleaners. The stud puppets need to learn from somebody how to rock. However, the people in charge at Legends wouldn't want to buy new furniture or spend hours cleaning the blood and broken glass off everything, so they're now breathing a collective sigh of relief. Time warp to the end... Actually it's just the end of the first set, but it's safe for me to render a decision now. The Creek doesn't suck—they certainly fulfill the appetites of the audience. They rock, they jam, they PAR-TAY hard and fast. I can't knock 'em too hard since they do what they do so well. Just to satisfy Tom, they weren't good or bad—just typical. tinue with the theme I began last week, "Albums you never get sick of." Black Flag, an incredible, com­ petitive, fun-punk band has been around since 1976. They are based in Los Angeles/San Francisco, Califor­ nia. Henry Rollins is the brains and most of the looks of the band. Donned in tattoos "Search and Destroy" across his back, a large sun on his chest, arms covered in neopunk, and anti-Nazi punk symbols, Henry is the idol of most punks. Kira, a petite yet sexy woman, plays the most wicked bass in punk. Greg Ginn, the other half of the brains in Black Flag, plays guitar, while Bill Steven­ son (note: presently in the Descen­ dants—see the January 26 issue of the Appalachian) plays drums. The album cover immediately catches your eye with its red background and large black letters that jump at you and state, "Nobody knows more than I that the less girls know, the better they are likely to be." There is a man hugging a naked man's leg (drawing by Raymond Pettibon). This particular LP by Black Flag is the norm for their work. Angst of the punk age explodes from each track, emotions are stirred, and physically, this LP will help your body rage in a fit of thrashing. The album begins with "Slip It In"—an anti-feminist tune that turns women into sluts. The song is accen­ tuated by Suzanne Gardner's scream­ ing orgasms. The next song is "Black Coffee," a generic tune about a chemical buzz. The guitar is phenomenal in this tune. Anger and coffee filling me, Drinking black coffee, black coffee, Stare at the wall, Till my heart can stand, Just in my mind. "Wound Up" immediately follows with passion and aggression. Drums, bass and guitar rip through this tune as Henry pukes out his uptight feel­ ings. Fans who like a lot of guitar will dig this one. I get so wound up, I feel so let down, Don't you ever see the way I stare at you, Can't you understand why I feel the way I do? See ALBUM Page 6 �////: A/'I'AI ACIIIA V. THURSDAY. FTBKUAKY 9. 19,V9 Lou Reed feels TVew ForA: is Ws best By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Staff Writer Lou Reed's 80's career has been erratic at best. He's given us a pair of slick, radio records ("Mistral" and "Growing Up In Public"), an underdeveloped concept album (The Blue Mask), a so-so live double album, and only two really good albums (the '84 comeback album New Sensations and the out-of-print delight Legendary Hearts). During the previous decade, Lou's output was even more unpredictable and ''italic— The Bells, Coney Island B/hy (due for CD reissue in February), Berlin and Street Hassle aie the only really GREAT releases—and much of the decade was •.pent in a sort of self-parodic Warholian media show. So, in other words, New York, the latest from Lou, is an amazing return to form a dark, tough, political •'Ilium with some of Lou's best music in years and a lyrical integrity unmatched (with the exception of Street Hassle) since the demise of I. . f i t 's alma mater, The Velvet Underground in 1970. in some small town in Arkansas The Velvet's ex-drummer, Maureen Tucker, guests on "Dime Store Mystery" and "Last Great American Whale." Dion ("Runaround Sue") Dimucci adds backup vocals on "Dir­ ty Blvd." These interesting developments are not the only respectful nods to the past or. New York. The opening track, "Romeo Had Juliette," rocks like an updated "Sweet Jane," from the final Velvet's album, and Lou's oft-suppressed blues, jazz and rockabilly influences pop up throughout New York, lend­ ing it a diverse spontaneity not heard from him in a long time. Many of the slower songs work off of updated blues and jazz styling which contrast fantastically with the angry, bleak lyrics present from start to finish. Many songs (like "Halloween Parade"—about 80s sexual mores, and "Sick Of You") direct their venom at specific targets: Some whacked out trucker drove into a nuclear reactor and killed everybody he saw Now he's on Morton Downey and he's glowing and shining doctors say this is a medical advance.. . And / m sick of it, I'm sick of you" The equally venomous "Last Great American Whale" features a bit of pointed environmental protest wrapped up in some old Indian lore: Americans don't care too much for beauty They'll s*** in a river, dump battery acid in a stream They'll watch dead rats wash up on a beach and complain if they can 7 swim" "The radio said there were 400 dead In the following track, "Beginning Of A Great Adventure," Lou com­ ments, "it might be fun to have a kid that I could pass something on to—something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt." The implication is that these are the inevitable aspects of "life today" that any self-respecting kid will inherit anyway—a tale of pessimistic optimism, in other words. The next track, "Busload Of Faith," a musical update of the Velvets' "Some Kind Of Love," simply states, "you need a busload of faith to get by," because your beliefs are the only thing that you know you can depend on. New York IS an excellent, enter­ taining Lou Reed album with some of his most intelligent, well-stated lyrics since the heydey of the Velvet Underground. However, this is not a "pretty," user-friendly piece of tradi­ tional anything, album-rock, alter­ native, top-40, etc. This IS a dirty, grimy, bitchy and very real portrait of life in urban America today—just what the country needs these days.

Last week, Bill V ^'hite was hired as the first black Blague president in Major League baseball's history. White replaces former president of Yale University, ^ Bartlett Giarnatti, to become the National League President. White's credentials include a baseball career spanning 13 years. j-|e spent two years with the Giants, in New York, and one in San piancisco. White spent seven years vkhthSt. Louis, including the 1964 Vorld Series win over the Yankees, ajid the last four years of his career, w a s with Philadelphia. During career, he was a Six-Time Allfirst baseman and won seven olden gloves. After his career was cr he worked as a broadcaster for (Yankees for 18 seasons. White as also worked with CBS Radio nee they beg^tn broadcasting games 1976, and he has also broadgames for ABC-TV. Not only is White the first black hold a major position in the ront office of Major League Satball, he is also probably the Hjiajified person to tto.J4 the fice in recents years.

The Mountaineers were without guard Kemp Phillips, who injured his ankle in practice, but were led by Sam Gibson, who scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds against the Mocs. The victory puts ASU in a tie with the Mocs for first place in the Southern Conference. Tenn.-Chattanooga jumped out early to a 13-12 lead before the Moun­ taineers went on a 12-2 run, as Appalachian managed to maintain a 35-23 halftime lead. To start the second half, the Apps failed to score in the first 5:14 and the Mocs cut the lead to 35-31. The Mocs would pull within three points twice, but Rodney Peel, who added 17 points, hit two key threepointers in the last five minutes of the game. The Mountaineers hit some critical free throws down the stretch to reach the final margin of victory. Just two days prior to the victory over the Mocs, the Mountaineers won a close one at Western Carolina, defeating the Catamounts 94-91 in double overtime. Ben Miller scored nine points in the second overtime to help seal the vic­ tory for Appalachian State. Sam Gibson sent the game into the first overtime when he sank one of two free throws with no time remaining. The game went into the second over­ time when Western's Keith Gray hit a three-pointer at the buzzer. The Mountaineers played the final 10 minutes of the first half without center Sam Gibson, who picked up his second foul early. ASU had numerous opportunities to secure the win as they led 66-62 late in regulation. However, they failed to score in the final 4:15 until Gibson's free throw with no time on the clock. In overtime, the Apps again seemed to be in control after Kemp Phillips hit a three-pointer and Rodney Peel added two free throws, with one second remaining. But Gray nailed the three-pointer, sending Ramsey Gym into a frenzy. The Mountaineers began their fiveday road trip by defeating nonconference opponent Davidson 65-54 in Johnston Gym. Appalachian led by only one point with 5:28 remaining, but the Wildcats failed to score the rest of the game and the Mountaineers pulled away. ASU was led by senior Ronnie Christian, who scored 18 points, and Gibson, who added 16. As the Mountaineers began pulling away, Davidson's head coach Bobby Hussey was not pleased with several of the officials' calls. But the second half was like that with bodies banging and both teams playing hard and coming up with big plays. Gibson had some of the big plays for the Apps, scoring 12 of his 16 points in the second half mostly on dunks and shots in the paint. The Mountaineers are now 17-4 overall and 6-3 in the conference. They have secured their second con­ secutive winning season under coach Tom Apke and are home for four of their last six regular season games. Proposal 42 argued and discussed in detail (CPS)'—Freshmen athletes at the big­ gest sports schools in the country will have to pay their own tuition if they don't have certain standardized test scores or grade point averages, the National Collegiate Athletic Associa­ tion (NCAA) decided at its annual convention Jan. 14. The measure—known as Proposi­ tion 42—provoked a furious storm of protest from some coaches who argued it will keep students who use sports as £ way to get an otherwise unaffordable college education off campuses. "What I am a little sick of is people excluding young people from things," said Georgetown University baskethall coach John Thompson, who walked off the court during a Jan. 14 game against Boston College and refused to coach in a Jan. 18 game against Providence College to protest the new rule. NCAA reformers, on the other hand, cast it as a way to keep colleges from exploiting young athletes. Currently, freshmen can't par­ ticipate on NCAA Division I teams if their Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores are below 700, their ACT (American College Testing program) score is below 15 and they didn't graduate from high school with at least a 2.0 GPA in certain core courses. Yet (he freshmen remain on scholarship their first year while they try to bring up their grades. Under the new rule, colleges would be prohibited from keeping the students on athletic scholarships if they don't have the grades to com­ pete. The NCAA estimates that 90 per­ cent of the 600 students affected when the rule goes into effect in Fall, 1990, will be black. "You're not solving a problem by saying a young man is not qualified for a scholarship because he doesn't have 700 on his SAT," Thompson fumed. Reacting to scandals in which fouryear athletes were graduating as illiterates or were not graduating at all, the NCAA, led by its Presidents Commission, has been raising academic standards for athletes throughout the decade, hoping to keep kids who were unprepared for college off campuses and to assure that college sports were played by "true students." Proposition 42 was "a means to strengthen the academic entrance requirements for freshmen," NCAA assistant director Dave Cawood said. "Many of the proponents of Prop 42 may have laudatory academic and athletic goals in mind," Thompson added. Critics say the rule was proposed and fueled by Vince Dooley, the athletic director at the University of Georgia, and other Southeastern Conference (SEC) officials. Georgia officials allegedly told Dooley to stop recruiting academical­ ly unprepared athletes in the after­ math of losing a lawsuit to Jan Kemp, who had been fired for complaining she'd been pressured to pass athletes enrolled in her remedial studies classes. But Dooley's opponents were still recruiting such athletes. To keep com­ petition even, Dooley convinced the whole SEC to observe the same recruiting rules he did, and then helped sponsor Proposition 42 to get all NCAA schools to do so. The reaction was quick. "It's a racist rule," Temple Univer­ sity basketball coach John Chaney said. "For an athletic association to dream up a nightmare for black youngsters is totally insane." "I'm not black, 1 have nothing to gain," Louisiana State basketball coach Dale Brown said. "But you have to call it for what it is. What they're saying is 'we have a colored water fountain here, a white one here. We'll allow you to drink from the white one if you pass the test.' It's really disgusting. If 1 could drop out of the NCAA, I'd do it." "It's a bad rule," University of Houston basketball coach Pat Foster said. "Athletics have been one of the few hopes that socio-economically disad­ vantaged kids have had to introduce themselves to society. If these young people at this point in time no longer belong in higher education institu­ tions because of the 700 on the college boards, what are we saying?" Thompson said. The college boards, moreover, have been regularly blasted by educators as culturally biased against women and minorities, making it harder for them to get higher scores than white, subur­ ban male students. A number of schools—Harvard, Union, Bates and Middlebury col­ leges, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology among them—have stopped using the test scores to decide who to admit because the tests don't always accurately predict who will do well in college. Bob Schaeffer of FairTest, a New York group that campaigns against the tests, sent a letter to the NCAA protesting the new rule as a "blatantly improper use of test scores" in the wake of Proposition 42's adoption. If it goes into effect, about the only way a poor kid can go to college long enough to qualify for an athletic See PROPOSAL Page 9 Appalachian/ WASU Athlete of the Week Senior track star Lamonda Miller selected By BRIAN CALAWAY Appalachian Slaff Writer Lamonda Miller has been chosen as the Appalachian/WASU Sports Per­ son of the Week. This senior track star placed third in the finals of the 55 meter and second in the 200 meter dashes in the prestigious Eastman Kodak Invitational Track Meet. Miller said when Coach John Weaver told her she was invited to the Invita­ tional she "was really scared because only the best athletes" would be there. Lamonda feels that her best race was the 200m, but she surprised herself because the 55m is her favorite. However, she was all-around very pleased. Miller decided to enroll at ASU because of Coach Weaver. When an injury during her junior year of highschool sidelined her, only Ap­ palachian was still interested. She liked the campus when she visited from her home in Cullowhee, NC and FOR EXPLOITING UNDERPRIVILEGED ATHLETES.. summers ago, the issue of baseball hit the fan when m Panis, General Manager of os Angeles Dodgers, said that s ln "Its MEN S BASKETBALL: Kemp Philips drives in for a lay-up and scores two points.

According to Miller, the entire women's track team looks good this year. "We're working hard, motivating each other, and trying to get people to work harder in practice." The stiffest competition will come from East Tennessee State and Marshall said Miller. Lamonda has adjusted to the role of a student athlete. This criminal justice major found it frustrating at first because of school all day and practice in the evenings. Now that she is a senior, she makes time: " I like track, I like school, so I find time to do everything." Lamonda's only regret has been her work ethics as a freshman and a sophomore. She feels she could be even stronger now if her determina­ tion matched that of this year. Overall, she says Appalachian was the best place for her.

Each year, highly qualified and highly recommended sports officials from universities and colleges all over the nation are invited to participate in the National Flag Football Tournament. This year, ASU had four officials qualify for and participate in the tournament. Jerry Campbell, Sam Inman, Steve Rose, and Pat Wright were selected to participate in the national tournament held in New Orleans, Louisiana after an outstanding performance at the State of Georgia Flag Football Tour­ nament in Atlanta. Georgia selected Appalachian, along with other noted colleges and universities, to bring the top four officials from the university to the tournament. Working as an officiating team, the ASU officials advanced to the women's finals and the co-rec semifinals. As a result of their con­ sistency, fairness, and competence, Campbell, Inman, Rose, and Wright were invited to the national competi­ tion. At the national tournament, over 140 schools from around the country competed for the men's, women's, and co-rec national titles. In addition, 48 officials were selected nationwide to officiate the tournament. ^ Competing as a team once again, the Appalachian State foursome were selected to officiate all the way to the women's and co-rec semifinals of the national competition. In addition, Steve Rose was selected as one of 12 All-American officials at the tourna­ ment for his outstanding perform­ ance. Rose is the first ASU student to earn the All-American title in officiating. These officials' skills were not developed overnight, however. All four were trained at Appalachian in William Ehling's sports officiating class. They improved their abilities and gained experience by officiating for various intramural events at ASU. The four gained notoriety in flag football. Any Appalachian State student can get involved in sports officiating at the University. Students can receive the necessary training either through Ehling s class or at one of the many officials clinics offered throughout the year. The next of these clinics will be for Softball officials on March 13 at 9 p.m. in the Quinn Center on racquet ball court eight. According to Ehling, spots officiating offers the students a dif­ ferent perspective of intramurals and sports in general. "No matter where you go, officials are always the problem," he said. "Part of the game is to pick on the officials and everybody does it. By officiating, though, students can be Time exposed to the other side of the fence. So if you think the officials are bad, get involved yourself and make a dif­ ference." Ehling also feels sports officiating is something the student who loves sports can take with him/her after graduation. "Officiating allows you to stay close to sports after college is over," he said. "It is a good way to earn some extra spending money whether in intramurals, recreational leagues or school leagues. It is also a nice hobby and a good outlet." - T4 AiMk Service of BASH TEAM Filet * 1 1 50c Bur§ers> Croissants 1 Potatoes Mexi and Cheese Cak, Ohio State Oklahoma Seton Hall North Carolina Providence „115 E.

Snead's incompetence damages ASU's reputation Actions taken by Vice Chancellor for Development, Bob Snead may have damaged the integrity of the ASU Foundation. In the previous sale of property on Highway 105, Snead's refusal to accept a late bid cost Appalachian at least $49,000. By deadline time, the Foundation received a high bid of $35] 000 (payment deferred over five years). Less than 30 minutes after' the deadline, Snead received a cash bid of $400,000 which was refused. According to Snead himself, the purpose of the ASU Foundation is to generate as much money in cash for the university as possible. If this is true, why wasn't this bid accepted? Again, according to Snead, it is perfectly ethical to accept late bids in such situations. The Foundation has a committee that evaluates such land sales, and in this case, it made the mistake of commissioning Snead to personally handle this situation. If committee members are not aware of the offers received, it seems fruitless to charge them with a mission in which they have no power or input. This was an exceptionally big mistake con­ sidering the fact that this piece of property was the most valuable land the Foundation has handled since it's conception in 1970. According to Phil Templeton's deposition to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission, the land was for sale for $2,352,000 in 1988. As of now, the University has received little or none of the cash assets of this land. A representative of Premiere Properties, lnc stated the pmpmN^fWrently for sale at 2.1 million dollars. In the future, the university should either commission someone besides Snead to handle such affairs, or require more input of commit­ tee members to insure that the Foundation receives as much money as possible. Allegations have also been made concerning the personal relation­ ship between Snead and realtor Wade Wilmoth, who handled the land sale. It has been speculated that the $400,000 offer was declined because this sale would have resulted in a commission (split with another realtor) of only $20,000, while the $351,000 sale netted Wilmoth a com­ mission of over $35,000 (this amount was not divided). Students, faculty, staff and alumni continue to be confused over this issue. If the ASU administration did not have anything to hide, these allegations should have been denied publically, immediately following the potentially damaging article in the Winston-Salem Journal. However, true to form, the administration remained aloof and unconcerned. This attitude may have damaged the credibility of the ASU Founda­ tion, and consequently, the entire institution could suffer from a lack of much needed financial contributions. In the future, responsible action should be taken to preserve the integrity of the institution as a whole. i Ollie's jurors inadequate representation of U.S. population Currently, the Federal Court in Washington, D.C. is searching for Iwelve jurors to decide the fate of Lt. Colonel Oliver North. The selec­ tion process has been progressing slowly, due to the fact that the jurors must be unfamiliar with the case. Appalachian Columnist Eric Miller Satanism. The very utterance of the word causes many of us to either cross, or wet ourselves, or both. But should we? Is this nation really under the evil influence of Satan, or is it really just a bunch of fun­ damentalist Christians blowing the whole thing out of proportion? I don't pretend to know the answer, but I do tend to think that things have gone a bit far. First of all, whenever Satanism becomes big business, it needs to stop. There is absolutely nothing more sickening than Geraldo being a selfrighteous guardian of Christianity in front of millions of people. This is exactly what happened on his show about Satanism. He treated his guests rude­ ly, as usual, and pretended to be Joe Christian while condemning a bunch of Devil-worshippers. This show probably did more to promote Satanism than any paid advertisement could have. Further, I don't think that many people really understand Satanism. There is more than one kind, just as there are several branches of Christianity! Now, I am certainly not condoning any kind of Satanic activity; I ant just suggesting that some kinds are worse than others. Usually, whenever Satan-hunters are telling us all about the evils of this religion, they only mention the really gory details about human sacrifice, child molesting, etc.. Instead of giving us this one-sided view about Satanism, why not present all the facts about it, and let the people judge for themselves? It is this kind of propaganda, aimed at simple minded people, which gives Christianity a bad name. But all of this can be overlooked. After all, Satanism is a concept so vile to any "good" Chris­ tian that it is understandable for them to be biased towards it. However, when Satanism is used by everyone to explain any deviant activity in our socie­ ty, things have gone too far. When Jello Biafra came to ASU, he told us all about a book which had been distributed to law enforcement officers (cops, for short) all over the country. It contained some -ssts-'SST-h* than leather jackets and i • 1 1 0 difL* ' of worrying about Sar a n ^ people's lives, we should ^ druguse, drunk driving a n / 0 * d3 . 1 ^ " ! a - b e l i e f ' S a t a n i s n 'r, h things; poverty and the S l " m ',' h a r e also major n r , H are a l s o m a i contributor? e "focea. .

Among the things these about the evils of "1' policemen/women were supposed to look out for r o ! * l. were moons, stars, pentagrams, and the peace sym­ religion, they 0nhm bol. The peace symbol! Ha! How stupid, I thought. the really g0ry How could anyone suggest that a universal symbol for peace could be Satanic. Two weeks later, I about human sacrfa attended a talk on Satanism, and guess what? The child molesting, eic guy speaking (who was a policeman) quoted out of • i«stead of giving us the very book which Jello had held up. He said, 0/r"You see, the peace symbol is Satanic.

How amazing. facts about it, and ie, , If people can't find anything better to do than think up more things to call Satanic, then they need People judge for serious professional help. It's like McCarthyism for themselves? It is the 80s, except now it's not Communism, it's Satanism. It really doesn't matter what the "boogieof propaganda, aimed m man" is_as long as there is something out there to simple minded people keep the masses in line and scared to death. If the peace symbol was originally an antiwhich gives Chrislmi,„ Christian symbol (which, if you believe scholars in bad name. the field, it wasn't), it certainly isn't perceived that way now, and that's all that counts, really. I don't Also why not blame Satan for believe that a symbol has, by itself, any "mystical" lems. Homelessness, poverty, .u., powers.

Wake up, andZI thought this was one of the things which Christianity about the "evil" in this world rather stood for (i.e. the Prince of Peace). modern day witches. Please think before aborting your child To the Editor; ,, I am a 39 year old graduate stu­ dent at ASU, and 1 would like to comments in connection with The 16th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. Twenty years ago, I was a freshman at the State University of New York at Albany. At the time, the legislature held hearings concern­ ing the legalization of abortion in that state. As a member of the ' Students for a Democratic Society, 1 spoke before the legislature in the support of abortion. My argument was that a woman should have the right to make decisions concerning her own body, and a woman deserved a safe abortion performed by a licensed doctor. As a result of the hearings, the legislature voted to legalize abortion, and I celebrated the decision along with fellow prochoiee advocates. In 1975, I decided to exercise my legal right to have an abortion. At" the time, I was married, and had a four-year-old daughter. When I discovered I was pregnant, I felt that 1 did not want to be tied down by another child. Against my husband's wishes, 1 aborted the baby. Later, I decided to separate from my hus­ band and begin an independent life of my own. It wasn't until a few months after the operation that I began to experience the emotional impact of my decision. Feelings of guilt and sorrow I hadn't anticipated began to surface. Suddenly, 1 found myself in the midst of the process of grieving for the child I had put to death. 1 tried to comfort myself by placing the blame for my actions on someone besides myself. This didn't work because every decision I had made was for and by myself. 1 sought counseling in the form of group therapy and psychiatric care in an attempt to ease my guilt and depression. When none of this worked, I reasoned that suicide would be the only means of ending the pain. it.

This group of young people gave up a Saturday in November to help our Cub Scout pack sort and pack food during our Scouting for Food campaign. Several young men and ladies came to Parkway School dur­ ing the morning and helped us pack canned food into boxes, transport the food to the National Guard Ar­ mory, and load the food onto the truck waiting there. Several others in the group helped load the truck at the armory all day that Saturday. These young people-also gave up a Sunday afternoon to take our Cub Scouts roller skating. They paid for each boy to skate and also helped those boys who couldn't skate feel a little more steady on their feet by holding them up around the rink. They also offered a friendly smile and word to all who participated. Last year the same group helped out with the Cub Scout Bike Rodeo that was held for all scouts in the county. In my conversations with these young people, I also discovered that they have been involved in several other service projects in and around our community. It is my understand­ ing that in order to be in this frater­ nity, each member must spend some 25 hours in service work. Special thanks go to Alfred Oil s, who helped to organize lb® with me. .

What the court will ultimately consist of is a jury of politically ignorant, socially ambivalent individuals who are not aware that they are citizens of the United States to begin with. What kind of people can conscientiously state they do not read the newspaper, watch television, listen to the radio or at least talk to neighbors about what is going on in the world—particularly while residing in our nation's capitol? Many of these prospective jurors simply feel that Ollie and other national events are too boring to concern themselves with. How can one be an American without experiencing a touch of "Ollie-Mania?" Such individuals do not deserve to be a part of such a historical event. If these stooges were bored with the television coverage of the trial, wouldn't they be bored to tears after sitting in a stuffy courtroom for hours on end each day? How can information be adequately processed while one is only partially awake? Cireat caution should be exercised while selecting these jurors. It would be lar better to select partially aware individuals than the apathetic dumb-bunnies who are probably going to be chosen to decide the future destiny of Lt. Colonel North.

Find out the child's strong sand build from there. Perhaps ghild is on a third grade level in and reading, but only on a grade level in math. Too many achild's strong points are comy smothered by his/her weaker . We should allow the child's j abilities to build up those may not be quite so 'strong. That way the child who is at a third grade level in reading can be placed in a third grade class and as a result, the kids who are not as fast will not be embarrassed. The same goes for the exceptional child; he or she won't feel uneasy due to their exceptional abilities. Those who are physically gifted should be encouraged more for those God given talents. I was always very athletic and 1 was not truly encouraged until my ninth grade year in high school. Perhaps if 1 had someone to lead me, I could have been an Olympic champion, who knows. Another talent which I was very blessed with was the ability to communicate. I can say anything in front of any group of people and it doesn't bother me. I've known students who make straight As and they are terrified to get up in front of people. A professor, Dr. Daggett, whom I am studying law with at this time, stated in class, "The two main things that the CEOs are looking for in an employee is not good grades or the extracurricular activities you have been involved in, what they are look­ ing for is spunk and the ability to communicate. Now, he quoted the CEOs directly, he said that is not his personal statement. Those companies looking for good employees are more interested in one's ability to com­ municate than anything else. Now 1 will tell you from personal experience that those two particular qualities, "spunk" and "the ability to com­ municate" are completely ignored throughout the entire educational system. If a kid talks too much, he is simply told to be quiet. Perhaps that's the reason most students are so afraid to speak in front of crowds by the time they get to higher levels of education. The majority have been made to think it is improper to speak out; this may also be the reason that most kids are so afraid to ask questions in class. Teachers should know that just because the students don't ask ques­ tions, it does not mean they under­ stand the material. Most of the time it means that they don't understand it. The material is too far over their heads. How is a student supposed to ask a question when they don't understand what you're talking about to begin with? The system as a whole causes the average child to develop a phobia towards oral communication. So when all your grades are tallied up and you are handed that diploma, just remember the main thing that the employers are looking for isn't even represented on that piece of paper. It doesn't make much sense to me. Oh well, I'm just glad that I never developed a fear of speaking. I can still do it with the utmost confidence. Speaking is one of those things that teachers condemn from day one; if the student enjoys talking, why not encourage that student to join a debate team? We wonder why kids get turned off by the educational system today. If a student is failing, it should never be directly blamed on him or her. The system likes to blame it on the kids because that's the easiest and cheapest thing to do. The only way the educational system is going to change for the bet- ter is if the student is taught through inspiration, not condemnation. No one learns by criticism; the most important thing is to encourage the child. It is through positive support that a student's confidence can be built. A teacher needs to build up the students so they will come to realize that, no river is too wide, or mountain too high. Teach them to reach for the sky!

By JON JIMISON Appalachian News Editor The Appalachian State University Foun­ dation is a private corporation. Its purpose is to solicit gifts in any form and funnel that money into the university for various pro­ grams. While its real estate transactions have received more publicity, the Foundation, which is chartered by the state of North Carolina as a nonprofit corporation, has more money invested in the stock market. According to the Foundation's latest an­ nual report, it has less than SI million in­ vested in real estate and over $8 million in­ vested in the stock market. "We don't need to be in the real estate business. If we didn't have a bid in this I'd be happier," Vice Chancellor for Develop­ ment Robert Snead said. "I'd be much hap­ pier if I had that $1,286,000 in the bank drawing interest than in the real estate business. "The way we get all of our real estate is somebody gives it to us; it's a contribution to the university," he said. "We try to get rid of it as soon as possible.," The Foundation classifies its givers on the basis of amount of money or valuables received. One classification is the Chancellors committee. Annual member­ ship in this is limited to those who make a gift of $1,000 or more. Sustained member­ ship can be obtained by a $10,000 gift in cash, securities, property, gift-in-kind or a life insurance policy of $25,000 assigned ir­ revocably to the Foundation. The Foundation is classified as a non­ profit organization. "We are also.authoriz- ed by the Internal Revenue Service as a charitable organization, which means if you make a contribution to the Appalachian State University Foundation then it can be legitimately taken ott your income tax as a contribution," Snead said. Snead, who serves as secretary/treasurer of the foundation, is given much leeway in the selling of real estate. "Frequently, when somebody wants to move real estate they don't have to wait un­ til a committee can meet," Snead said. "If you call a committee (Investment Adivsory Committee) meeting, it might take at least days if not weeks to get the committee together and the person buying the real estate might want a decision fairly quickly." " Therefore, what they (the committee) did was to give this office the authority to sell a piece of property without going back to the committee as long as the value receiv ed for that property was at least 90 percent of what wc had it on the books for," Snead said. However, alter a sale is completed, it must still be approved by the Foundation's Board of Directors. The Foundation has an Evergreen cam­ paign in which it is trying to build up a $10 million endowment by the end ol the decade. 1 his is why the foundation en­ courages unrestricted contributions to the university. This gives the corporation more freedom. ASU is not unique in having the founda­ tion. Most other larger universities have organizations such as the one ASU has. More job opportunities Vice Chancellor Roberl Snead Reagan years reviewed (CPS)—As Ronald Reagan let I his office in a flurry of farewell broadcasts and par­ ties, he left behind much of the ambitious college agenda he outlined eight years ago either unaccomplished or simply aban­ doned. That's good news to Charles Saunders of the American Council on Education, which represents college presidents in Washington, D.C.: "Fortunately, the Reagan administration's legacy is not as serious as they would have liked." Vet the administration's failure to accomplish many of its campus goals—abolishing the U.S. Department of Education, shifting the responsibility for funding campuses from Washington to Ihe stales, ending alleged waste and fraud and getting colleges to adopt courses that incor­ organization.

High demand areas for graduates across the country are business, education, marketing and technologies such as computer science and engineering, and the ASU campus is no different. Last year, 263 recruiters came to the Career Planning and Employment Center to seek potential employees. Four thousand in­ terviews took place. Director of the Center Dr. David Ball said they try to have every sector of the economy represented. As there is no "ideal" recruit for these companies, many organizations recruit from any major. "Employers don't hire diplomas," Ball said. "They hire people." It is important for students to project well in interviews. In some cases, the recruiters know they are interested in a prospective employee the first minutes of the interview session. "Employers look for good communica­ tion skills," Ball said. Interpersonal skills and evidence of leadership abilities are also Advising can be a tool to learn about possible job opportunities. General College and Departmental advisors can help students with this. Career Planning and Employment also offers workshops on resume and interview­ ing techniques. Ihe SIGI computer system located at the Center can help students "Employers don't hire diplomas. They hire people." David Ball Director, Career Planning and Placement examined. It is not enough to just have a name on an organization's roster; students should take an active part in clubs and organizations they are part of and get prac­ tical experience in management and discover career opportunities that suit their personalities and skills. "You are limited until you seek out other careers," Smith said. "Open yourself up to make better career choices." Assistant News Editor. Officials at the North Carolina Depart­ ment of Natural Resources have determined that substances found in Boone Creek are non-toxic. Environmental Technician Peter Nathanson said that the waste in the creek, which runs across the ASU campus, was "swim­ ming pool backwash from the gym and physical plant." According to Nathanson, the dumping of backwash material from swimming pool filters is not illegal in North Carolina and does not require a permit. Although the material in the creek is non­ toxic, "it (Boone Creek) is not in good shape... It's trying hard to hold its own," Nathanson said. Assistant nrofessor of biology Dr. Howard S. Neufeld expressed concern at the present condition of the creek. "It (the creek) is iust a nit of trash and junk. Nothing should be thrown in the creek," Neufeld said. "It seems to me that things from the pool should be put down the sewer. They shouldn't be put in the creek." The creek's condition was brought to Neufeld's attention by ASU student Forrest MacCormack. MacCormack, a photographer for the Rhododendron, was taking pictures of the physical plant when he noticed a white substance on Ihe creek bottom. "I've been noticing the while material in the creek since Match of last year. I noticed it again when I went down there (to the physical plant) and I thougl/ ,jinething shofild be done about it," MacCormack said. MacCormack contacted Neufeld later that day and asked him what effect chlorine would have on a creek. "He (Dr. Neufeld) said that chlorine was a disinfectant and would kill everything in the creek," MacCormack said. MacCormack told Neufeld what he had See REAGAN Page 2 Art vandalized on many campuses (CPS)—"There has been a run of art thefts snd vandalism at Southeast Louisiana University, the University of Pennsylvania tnd several other campus museums and galleries in recent months, forcing of I icials o increase security measures and, in some cases, close exhibits to students. Of!icials at Penn, for example, have tightened security and closed a hands-on art display for Ihe blind after a Sri I ankan mask v alued at $400 disappeared November 18. At Southeastern Louisiana, vandals smashed and pilfered a student art exhibit. As a result, campus security director Russ Martin said it's almost impossible to keep such art objects safe while letting the publicsee them without new restrictions. "Unless you have it on display in a vault, this is one of the risks you run," Martin said. "If someone wants to break in and vandalize or steal something, they'll do it."

Between 1981 and 1988, moreover, the administration dramatically shifted the nature of student aid from grants to loans. For good or ill, the shift is likely to be President Reagan's most enduring reform of American colleges. "We're not likely to see a shift (back to grants) in the future," Ihe College Boatd's Gwendolyn I . Lewis said. Otherwise, observers think historians will not be able to point to many other longterm impacts of the Reagan years on the way students go to college. When pressed, they mention how William J. Bennett, Reagan's second Education Secretary and now "drug czar" in the Bush administration, helped start a national debate about the quality of college educa­ tion. Bennett regularly blasted the nation's higher education leaders as wasteful price gougets who pushed for higher federal funding, raised tuition exorbitantly and offered students poor educations. Such tactics, Allen said, effectively focused public attention on costs and quali­ ty. "Bill Bennett makes sure people know what's going on with their taxes," she said. "There's an awareness and concern about American education that was generated during the Reagan years," Presi- �THE A /'/'A / A CHI A\. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 7. /9.V9 AUDITIOms Reagan Continued from Page 1 At various-times, the administra­ tion did propose plans to give parents tax breaks for saving for college and to replace aid programs with an "in­ come contingent loan" which students repay in increments depend­ ing on how much they earn after graduation. While the income-contingent loan idea is still being tested—students so far generally have not been using it.most of the administration's other innovations were offered in the name of rolling back the federal govern­ ment's role in education. "Ronald Reagan says there is no federal role in higher education, President of the United States Stu­ dent Association Fred Azcarte said. "I thought that question was settled with the Higher Education Act of 1965." In the name of freeing colleges from federal control, for example, Reagan's Justice Dept. declined to in­ vestigate more than 300 student and faculty complaints of campus racial and sexuql discrimination through 1988, the Association of American Colleges said. For the same reason, it approved tax breaks for Bob Jones University, dent Reagan's first Education Secretary Terrell Bell said. Others, however, say the tirades merely alienated educators and did nothing to improve higher education. "I worry about to what extent Ben­ nett's negative attacks on higher education made it difficult to achieve our goals," Saunders said. "Week in and week out, he accused students of ripping off colleges, colleges of ripp­ ing off students. What effect has that had on our nation's confidence in higher education?" "One of the biggest failures of the Reagan administration," Bob Aaron of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges said, "was that it failed to maximize the use of the presidency as a bully pulpit. It was erratic. It was not sus­ tained." Faculty and administrators were so busy defending themselves against such attacks that they had no time to work on ways to improve their classes. "In terms of innovation, I'd give them an absolute zero," Saunders said of the Reagan administration. PLAYWRIGHT, did not meet the approval of Chester Finn, the highly ideological chief of the Education Department's research office and by campaigning to stress the "role of religion" in textbooks. Bennett, especially, was not shy about forging a federal role in telling campuses what to teach and not to teach. In 1988, for example, Bennett chastised Stanford University for altering its "Western Civilization" curriculum to include the writings of some minority and female philosophers, claiming Stanford, which made the changes after a year of debate and design, had "sur­ rendered" its academic integrity to campus rabblerrousers. "They didn't accomplish all they wanted to do," Aaron said. "It's been a very mixed bag."

President Reagan also sought to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, which administers most federal college programs, but drop­ ped the idea in 1983. "The Department of Education," Bell said, "is here to stay." In Reagan's view, states were to pick up the funding slack for colleges, but states have not rushed in to fill the void.. In fact, according to a 1988 study by the Center for Higher Eduction at Illinois State University, states' higher education spending during 1987-1988 represented 8.1 percent of their budgets, down from 9.2 in 1980-1981. On the otherhand, the administra­ tion endorsed extending federal con­ trol over students by making them swear they did not use drugs and had registered for the draft in order to get federal student aid. It expanded Washington's role on campuses, too, by asking librarians to report which foreigners checked out what books, limiting scholarly ex­ changes with experts from certain countries, threatening to withhold funding from professors whose work Wednesday, Feb. 8 CUPID DDLIVD%$ CRY Be different this year!

I know I will take home the engaging smile of Mary Edmisten, The Appalachian State University Theatre recently announced the cast of the upcoming spring musical, Once Upon a Mattress. The play will be presented in the Chapel Wilson Auditorium, February 22-25 and 27-28, at 8:00 p.m. This delightful, offbeat fairy-tale is written by Jay Thompson, Marshall Barer and Dean Fuller, with music by Mary Rodgers and lyrics by Marshall Barer. The production is under the direction of Ed Pilkington. Pilkington recently directed the ASU pro­ duction of Tiger at the Gates. He is alsq. director of the outdoor drama, j Horn in the West. Musical Director for the production is Jennifer Hilbish, the Director of the ASU opera workshop. New to ASU this year, Hilbish is a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, where she received her masters in music. She was also assistant director of their Opera Workshop program. Jane Davidowski, a senior theatre arts ma-jor, is choreographer for the show. Her work has previously been featured in the ASU Dance Ensemble. Davidowski also teaches dance at Lees McRae College. The elaborate set is designed by Frank C. Mohler, scenic and ligting designer for the University Theatre. Dr. Mohler's creative work was featured earlier thit. season in the production of Heathen Valley. Costumes and make-up designs for the production are by Martha A. Marking, costume designer for the University Theatre. Marking's flare for period costumes was demonstrated last season with her beautifully detailed designs for the production of She Stoops to Con­ quer. The play, which is the musical ver­ sion of "The Princess and the Pea," is a musical farce. The story centers around the search for a true princess. It is time for Prince Dauntless to find ;s_ wit'eC who must be a genuine princess". In fact, no one in the court may marry unfit Dauntless finds a wife. Twelve other candidates have failed the strenuous "princess" tests when Princess Winifred the Woebegon arrives to tell about her kingdom in "The Swamps of Home." The Queen is naturally suspicious of anyone who wishes to marry her son, but even more so of the tomboyish Princess "Fred." So she decides to put 'Fred to the test' by hiding a tiny pea under twenty downy mattresses, while the rest of the palace anxiously awaits the decision. The role of Princess Fred is played by Nichole Walsh, a junior majoring in music education and minoring in theatre arts. She is a transfer student BAILEY'S from Wilkes Community College, where she appeared in The Fantasticks as Luisa. Dauntless the Drab is portrayed by Michael T. Whitaker, a senior majoring in music education. Whitaker appeared in last season's outdoor drama production of Horn in the West. He is also the recipient of a 1988 vocal scholarship in the School of Music. Lee Ann Givens, a senior theatre arts major, protrays the boisterious Queen Aggravain. Givens is a returning ASU student who last appeared in the 1982 University Theatre production of Spoon Wuer Mtfidlogy. The Queen's mute bt energetic husband is played by" Vane Weatherly, a junior majoring in theatre arts. Weatherly recently ap­ peared in the ASU production of Tiger at the Gates. Cliff Poole, a senior theatre arts major, portrays the Wizard. Poole, who has appeared in several ASU productions, is the presi­ dent of Playcrafters, the Appalachian student theatre organization. He also directed this year's Alpha Psi Omega production of Foots. The dancing Jester is played by Jakie Cabe, a junior theatre arts major. This sum­ mer, Cabe appeared as Jack in Horn in the West.

I'll recall the firm and honest handshake (very important in my culture) of Dr. Horine, the director.

BALDWIN Appalachian Kl Cetera Editor I can think of no better antidote to an angst-ridden week than a Friday night dinner at Bailey's, one of the area's finest restaurants. Located on Sunset Drive in Blowing Rock (take a right at the light, it's on your right across from the Maple Lodge), Bailey's offers excellent food in a casual atmosphere. the most expensive entree is the ribeye for only $5.95. The "lite" menu of­ fers combinations of soup and/or salad and/or a half sandwich. All these choices are under $4, as are all of the sandwich selections. Bailey's offers a diverse dinner menu from 5:00-9:30. Choose from a variety of steaks, chicken dishes and seafood. Also at dinnertime, there are a variety of side items to choose from. All dinners are served with a salad and hot bread. Though I've not yet tried every­ thing on Bailey's menu, I've had several entree's; all of which were outstanding. I took a friend to dinner at Bailey's last week. We had stufffed mushrooms as an appetizer (these are as good as anything you'll ever eat!). I tried the stuffed flounder ($11.95 stuffed with crab, mushrooms and almonds) with snow peas, baked potato and apples—one of the finest meals I have ever eaten. Prices for dinners^are quite reasonable, starting The chefs, bartenders and waitstaff at Bailey's want to serve you the best possible meal, and they do an outstanding job. You won't enjoy finer food and service anywhere. Bailey's lunch menu (served 11:30-2:30 Monday-Saturday) in­ cludes a wide variety of entrees, soups, salads, quiches, burgers, sand­ wiches, and appetizers. The last time I had lunch at Bailey's, we started off with onion rings on a huge plate, golden brown and perfect. I tried the marinated chicken (a great deal at $4.75—all lunch entrees include fries and a salad), and my friend ordered a French dip ($3.95 with fries). We also had a few drinks of the "mixed" nature. Everything was superb. The basic burger costs only $3.50; at under $9; even the most expensive entree is under $15. Bailey's offers a wide variety of im­ ported and domestic beers and wines, as well as a well-stocked bar where a bartender can make you happy with your favorite mixed drink. I've heard nothing but good things about Bailey's Sunday breakfast buf­ fet (served from 9:00-1:00), but I still haven't had the opportunity to try it.

As a foreign student, I have to con­ fess, one can run into some interesting people; like the pranksters who teach you dirty words and gestures hoping they will be soon repeated to one's 55 Assistant El Cetera Editor They're blaming me. They left me behind, and now suddenly they're furious and making everything look as if it's my fault. No matter how I try to explain, it's all of them against me, and it's hopeless. How could they possibly understand, anyway? I try to smile and retain some of my dignity, but I feel angry tears swelling in my narrowed eyes. Damn then all. I'm leaving. I'll leave them all screaming and pecking at each other like a bunch of cross hens. The sun is wickedly hot, and my car seems miles away. All signs of freshness and life have conveniently been removed. The world shimmers before me, through heat and tears, and vast asphalt inferno. Everything is so hot, so black, so filthy. I breathe deeply to calm myself, but find no comfort in the putrid, sultry air that burns my insides and laughs at me. My eyes ache from holding back tears and anger and squinting against the merciless sun of late May. At last I reach my car. My hands shake as I fumble with my keys. The car seat is hot from the persistent sun, but I sink gratefully in­ to it. At least I am alone. The tears begin to tumble down my face, mix­ ing with the beads of sweat on my nose. I feel as if I am suffocating. A few people walk by in the nearly emp­ ty parking lot, but I ignore their curious stares. Idiots. Haven't you ever seen anyone upset before? Do you even think about anything that might upset you? Suddenly 1 am disgusted and no longer feel the need to cry. I can drive now. I iic engine turns half-heartedly and the air conditioner belches stale, boil­ ing air in my face. I leave the clutch in and the car hums angrily. You and me both, I think. It won't hurt you anyway. I screech out of the parking lot, pleased at all the commotion caused by my exit. That was a good one. I turn down little roads and go by little houses where little people are talking about little things in their little front yards. They stare at me with their little eyes as I speed past. As I turn onto the highway, I pass several cars. Is life so slow for you? The drivers give me nasty looks. I smile wickedly at them. I'm young. I'm young and I have someplace to be, so kindly get out of my way, today, if you may. Where do you have to be? I don't know, but you're in my way. Some of us have things to do and no time to waste. I am hateful. That's okay, though, because I'm alone and hateful and I don't mind because 1 don't have to pretend and be nice and civil to people who I don't like and who don't like me. Of course they like you, silly; you're overreacting. This will all be over tomorrow. I know, but I'm mad now. Today. Soon there are no other cars. The road is so big. The sky is so big, and my head feels so big and I just want to drive, drive forever until I fall off the world or fall asleep or decide if life is a dream or not. I pull down my rearview mirror and look to see if I am real. There is a reflection, but I am not convinced. Strange things happen in dreams. I resist a powerful impulse to close my eyes, let go of the steering wheel, and find out where fate would fling me, given the chance. I wonder what would happen if I sfammed into reverse at 65 mph? You're being silly again. I know. But wouldn't they be sorry? Probably, but you'd lose. I can't lose. I have to win. I'll show them. I'm better than that. You have everything, quit overdramatizing. • I can't help it. They taught me to be this way. Then use it to your advantage. Use it...use it...Okay. I know what to do now. 1 feel as if there will be no house when I get home, no barn, no family—just an empty hill. Maybe the world has ended and I will drive, drive until there are no more roads and I have to drive over rocks and through trees, and finally through someone's house where a little old lady and a lit-, tie old man will squint and move their toothless mouths in shocked silence as J crash through their heirloom china on the other side of the room. I drive past my ex-boyfriend's house. Maybe I could drive through his living room. I laugh hysterically. I love you, I'll shout as his father's prize deer head lodges under my hood. I still love you, and I'll drive away with your deer head staring at me with its goggly eyes. Everyone looking. What a queer girl, the little old man must think. Very strange, the little old lady will agree, as she picks up the shattered china from the living room floor. ASU fiction spotlight... Past loves overshadow future By ANGIE CHESNUT Appalachian Staff Writer Derrick looked uncertain of his reception as he entered Renae's apart­ ment. "I bet you've been slamming on me ever since you got back," he accused. Renae look self-righteous. "No, not really. I just told my roommate how you left me sitting by myself at the ballgame, and how I had to walk home." "Oh, come on." Derrick sounded disgusted. "It was the last game of my last year up here. We had to tear down the goal post." "Yeah right, and I had to leave." "You didn't have to. You should have waited," he said, grabbing her arm. "Derrick, I didn't know if you wanted me to wait," she said, jerking her arm out of his grasp. "You didn't ask me to." Renae tried to keep the hurt out of her voice. "I don't like be­ ing taken for granted." Derrick looked at her in disbelief. "If anybody's being taken for granted, it's me." "What! What do you mean?" "It's like today when I took you to the pre-game party. None of the other guys had girl friends there. That should say something." "Oh, you're right. It does," she said with a sarcastic tone. "I'm sorry that having me with you is such a burden " "You're not a burden," he said with anger. "It's just that you always take it for granted that I'm supposed to pay for everything we do. Like to­ day, I got you into the ballgame free, and you drank from the flask without asking. You just assumed that it was all right." Renae felt as though she had been slapped. "Oh, well that's petty. I didn't realize, since you offered in the first place. I'll go get you some money." "Renae, I don't want your money," he said. There was a defen­ sive edge to his voice. "Look, I'm sorry if you think I'm taking you for granted. I don't mean to assume that when you ask me out you really mean it." Renae searched her mind for his weak spot and found it. "Derrick, there's one thing you've got to remember. I'm used to being treated with respect and being taken care of. You can't really blame me if it takes me a while to get used to you." Now it was Derrick's turn to be floored. He hated being reminded of her ex-boyfriend. His face showed all the confusion he felt inside, and he turned away from her. The silence lasted for some time, and when Renae spoke again her voice was contrite and gentle. "I've redecorated my room if you want to see it." She tugged at his hand so that he would follow her. "Do you like it?" She asked, hop­ ing he would notice. "You took down Allen's pictures." His voice sounded flat to her ears. He had hated looking at those damn photos. Allen and Renae looked so See OVERSHADOW Page 4 �TlllAI'I'AIAUHIA Y. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 19,19 Overshadow Continued from Page 3 together. "It improves the piace," he added. "1 thought you'd like it," her voice *as uncertain. She was wanting him to kiss her. He didn't though. Instead, he sat down on the edge of the bed with his head between his hands. "I don't know what's going to hap­ pen to us." He sounded tired. "Sometimes I think it's just not worth it." "Do you really believe that?" She whispered, trying to hold back her tears. "Do you know what our biggest problem is?" "What?" "Allen. You two belong together. You'll end up with him." "1 wish you would stop saying that. Everyone says that, and it's not true. I want to be with you." She sat down beside him and kissed his cheek. He moved away from her and stretched out on the bed. When he spoke, his voice was troubled. "I think I'm falling for you; I may already have, but you've got to understand. I'm looking out for myself. I've been through this before." "You're talking about Kathy, aren't you?" He nodded. "Are these two people always going to be between us?" Tears slid slowly down her face. Derrick did not say anything. He just stared at her intently. "Let's make love," he pleaded, suddenly grabbing her possively. tiappy I; .1 'it „ 11If ! I Renae was tempted as she looked at his handsome face. She knew he cared about her, and yet something held her back. "1 can't. I want to, but I just can't right now." Her voice begged him to understand. "It just wouldn't be right." Derrick looked angry and more than a little hurt as he pushed her away. "I can't believe you're mad," she •.aid in an incredulous voice. "Is that all you want from me?" "No! I want more than that," he said, taking her in his arms again. "It's just that you seem more his than mine." Renae didn't say anything for a while. "Derrick," she spoke softly in­ to the silence, "I can't promise you anything. No one knows what the tutuie will be like." "1 know," he said, tightening his "Mattress 9 9 hold on her, "and I'm not sure I want you to promise." He now held her head so that she could not see his face, and after a long pause he whispered in a flat voice, "You're go­ ing to destroy me—if I let you." Renae did not know how to answer such a statement, so she said nothing. When his hold relaxed and she heard his rhythmic breathing, she knew he was asleep. She raised her head and gazed down at him. Lightly she kissed his open mouth and whispered, "I do love you Derrick, but I don't know what either one of us is able to do about it." Continued from Page 3 Valley.

Last weekend in Johnson City, the Mountaineers competed in the Eastman Kodak Invitational, a track and field competition divided into invitation-only and open college divi­ sions. Friday's invitational contest showcased ASU sprinter Lemonda Miller in the 55 and 200 meter dashes. Miller's time in the 55 meters was 6.89 seconds, third out of a field of six and last enough to beat the present Soviet Olympic Champion. Her 200m time was also impressive at 23.99, enough tor a second place finish at the meet and only four hundredths behind the NCAA qualifying time for the national meet, a "very impressive" time by Weaver's standards. Open college action took place in the Minidome with many runners from Appalachian, featuring Lynette Farmer with a 55 meter time of 7.15 and Tammy Piersaw and Lynne Ray sprinting to times of 9.01 and 9.22, respectively, in the 55 meter hurdles.

Lamonda Miller performed in the invitational section of the meet. INDOOR TRACK: taineers included Lynetta Garden with 25.74 in the 200 meter dash, Melissa Rogers ran the 400 meters in 1:00.23 and Tracy Mclntyre dashed to a time fo 2:29.8 in the 800 meters. The distance team also fared well in the meet. Heidi Berger topped all other ASU runners with a time in the mile run of 5:17.3, Vanessa Tyler ran the 3000 meters in 10:19.7 and Whitney Bell broke another ASU school record with her 17:12.3 performance in the 5000 meter run. Another school mark was broken by the mile relay team of Rogers, Stephanie Pipken, Garden, and Monica Teeter in 4:01.9. Coach Weaver called the meet "a very successful one" for the team who heads to the Lady Buckeye Invita­ tional this weekend in Columbus, Ohio. With so many "personal and season bests" broken this past weekend, the team will enter the Southern Conference Championship meet in Johnson City on the 17th and 18th of February very confident of a winning performance. The men's indoor track team also made the trip to Johnson City and several runners set personal records and had good performances. In the 400 meters Curtis Lowe and Eric Joe both had personal bests with times of 48.45 and 49.20, respectively. In the 55 meters, Harvey Sutton had a great day. He beat 91 other runners as he made it to the finals and finished fifth. Allen Brooks had an indoor personal best in the 800 meter run with a time of 1:56.85. The Apps had two runners place in the 200 meter run as Frank Allen finished eighth, clocking in at 21.95. Eric Joe placed twelfth and had a per sonal best time of 22.02. In the 3000 meter race Dean Duncan placed second and had a personal best time of 8.25. The mile relay team provided the highlight of the meet by winning the event with a time of 3:16.53, only 1.46 shy of the school record. The team ot Frank Allen, Eric Joe, Phillip Smith, and Curtis Lowe hope to break the school record and win the conference title when they return to Johnson City February 17th. Ail-American Warren Posey had a long jump of 23'6!/2". Johnny James was close behind with a jump ot 22'6". Posey also competed in the triple jump with a jump of 55'9". Linneli Johnson had a personal best in the triple jump, leaping 48' 10". Coach A1 Fereshetian said he is very proud of the way the team has competed so far and is looking for ward to competing in the Conference Championships. Mountaineers excel in athletic graduation rates By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Sports Editor Appalachian State University has one of the top graduation rates of athletes in any school in the North Carolina school system, according to a report conducted by the North Carolina system on intercollegiate athletics. ' ASU was one of two schools where the graduation rate for the athletes in three categories: men's football, men's basketball and the overall athletic department, exceeded the graduation rate of the university's freshman class of 1982. "The graduation rate of our entire athletic program is something I'm proud of," said Chancellor John E. Thomas. Of all the athletes who entered ASU as freshmen in 1982, 42 of the 82 (or 51percent) have graduated while only 48 percent of the 1982 freshmen graduated as a whole. "I have always felt like college is here as a place of education," said Athletic Director Jim Garner. "(Athletics) are just another part of the education process," he said. Comparing other schools in the North Carolina system shows how well Appalachian State is doing. North Carolina at Chapel Hill gave out 19 football scholarships last year. Of the 19, eight could not have gotten into UNC-CH without football. ASU gave out 15 football scholar­ ships, and all of these football players could have gotten into ASU without football. "Our coaches have done a better job of recruiting the student/athlete," said Brad Bredt, Coordinator of Academic Services for Athletes. "I think the numbers will improve. In the last three years we have done a better job," he said. ASU has many goals that it is going to try and accomplish, but probably the most important thing is this: "Our goal is to prove you can run a sound athletic program, and you can win," said Garner. Western Carolina, the only other Southern Conference school in North Carolina, has rates that are probably the most astonishing. Of the freshmen in 1982 at WCU, not a single one awarded a basketball scholarship graduated. And overall, only 34 per­ cent of WCU student/athletes graduated. "In terms of the national average, Appalachian stands up among (the leaders). You'll get a very positive reaction from me about those figures. We've made graduating a high priority," said Thomas. But the problem of athletes gradua tion is widespread across the nation "There is a strong movement in inter­ collegiate athletics to push integrity, going back to where college athletics were 20 to 25 years ago," said Garner. In order to go back to the way athletics once were, many attitudes will have to change. "(People are sa> ing), I would rather cheat and win than always do it right," said Garner. In order for the student/athlete to be sound, it takes the work of man\ people. "The chancellor supports us. He takes a lot of the heat when things are not going well," said Bredt. The outlook is good for the educa­ tional part of the student/athlete. "I think our sports program will increase in the number of graduates," said Bredt. And with the help of the coaches and the counselors, somedae the athletic department will reach its goal of 100 percent student/athlete graduation. S.C tickets on sale!

Mountaineer mania Appaiochian Photo by Billy Huelin The wrestling team suffered a and suffered another defeat, ASU travels to VMI on tough loss to national UTC on Thursday. The Friday in a Southern Conference match against the Mountaineers then traveled to ACC power Clemson Keydets. WRESTLING: Last week The Mountaineer Mania Trivia Quiz asked the question: Who scored the last two points in the 1983 , NCAA men's basketball Champion­ ship game? Also, who got the assist for the bucket? The answer is Loren­ zo Charles with the bucket and Der­ rick Whittenberg with the assist for the National Champions of 1983 the N.C. State Wolfpack. It doesn't seem as if it was that long ago when Derrick Whittenberg launched a bomb from what now would be three-point range that Lorenzo Charles caught and stuf­ fed through the hoop as the last seconds ran off the clock to give the Wolfpack a two-point victory over Houston. It was the first Wolfpack championship since they beat UCLA in 1974. Congratulations to all the people who answered correctly. Also thanks to Mountaineer Mania for providing a ten-dollar gift certificate to the win ner of the drawing. Look for another chance to win in Thursday's edition of The Appalachian. Wrestlers lose to a powerful Chattanooga team By DAVID LAWRENCE Appalachian Slaff Wriler The Mountaineer wrestlers kept the individual matches close, but lost to nationally ranked Tenn.-Chattanooga 21-9. Just looking at the final score would seem to indicate that the Mountaineers were never really in the match. Actually, the matches the Apps lost were close and many came down to the final period. "All the matches were close; in fact, 8-2 was the largest decision. They just won more of the close matches than we did," head wrestling coach Paul Mance said. It started off on a good note for ASU as Antonio Calloway upset his man, who was ranked 9th in the nation. The win kept Calloway undefeated in dual matches this season. The Mountaineers' Jevon Morris then defeated his opponent to win the 126-lb. weight class. "Morris wrestled real well, and we were extremely pleased with his vic­ tory," Mance said. The Moccasins then reeled off four straight wins to jump out on top for good. ASU could manage to win only one more match the rest of the day. Senior Mike Maxam beat his man to win the 177-lb. weight class. The Mocs then finished off the match by winning the last three weight classes. "Mike wrestled real hard and definitely had a good match," Mance said. Mance was pleased with the rest of the Mountaineers' effort as well. Especially considering the experience of Tenn.-Chattanooga compared with the younger Appalachian team. The Moccasins have five seniors and six defending conference cham­ pions. They've defeated some top schools, and many of their wrestlers have wrestled 30 or 35 times this season. Coach Mance said of the overall match, "We wrestled well, and every match was close. Even though we didn't get a victory, we were still pleased with the effort." The Mocs just wore the Moun­ taineers down, especially in the final periods where their seniors and the team's experience really showed through. Last Saturday, the Mountaineers traveled to Clemson to face the Tigers of the ACC. ASU wrestled well but due to the injuries suffered during the UTC match were unable to gain a vic­ tory. The Tigers defeated the Moun­ taineers 23-13. Calloway remained undefeated by defeating his oppo­ nent. Eddie Gist scored the next vic­ tory for ASU in the 134-lb. class. Adrian Hines then won in the 150-lb. class and finally Rock Burch won in the heavyweight division. "We should have won two more matches in the 177- and 190-lb. class. We wrestled close in the 126-lb. class (Jevon Morris)," Mance said. Mance was pleased with the match since the Mountaineers are suffering through so many injuries. "On a given day we would beat them. We had two starters out going into Clem son," Mance said. "(Clemson) has a chance in the ACC. Not as tough as UNC or N.C. State," he added. Next up for the Mountaineers aic the Keydets of VMI. "We are hoping to fight UTC for conference. VMI and Citadel have good teams. VMI will be our test. We will battle with them for second place," said Mance. Mance expects many of his wrestlers to make it to nationals "Whoever wins conference goes. (Antonio) Calloway, (Mike) Maxam See WRESTI I IN �TUt'APPAl AC/IIAX. TUI SDA Y. FFBKUARY 7. 1W9 Lady beat AppsFurman By PAUL L. CARROLL Appalachian Slaff Writer A victory going away against Furman and a valuable road win versus a tough Liberty squad signals the Southern Conference that the Lady Mountaineers are healthy and ready to resume their march towards a third consecutive conference crown. The Paladins of Furman are no longer the doormat for the rest of the Southern Conference. Behind the in­ spired play of Natalie Cleckley, Lori Whitaker, and Janice Rhynehardt, Furman has achieved respectability and an overall 15-5 record before the game at ASU. Against the Paladins, Appalachian started slowly and, with 14:09 left in the half, found themselves down 17-12. Senior standout Beth Laney powered ASU on an eight-point run scoring six points in less than a minute to put the Lady Mountaineers ahead 20-17. The two teams traded buckets until Glenda Cunningham scored eight points in 1:32 to give ASU a com­ manding nine-point lead at 38-29. The half ended with the Paladins closing the gap to 48-40 on Janice Rhynehardt's 19-foot basket. Furman and ASU played the kid s mind," head coach Linda remarkably similar first halves.

"With the wages as they are now, it is logical to assume that these conesmen are not involved in politics for the money alone; power is the aiaattraction. Many qf these politicians are already millionaires rn their previous careers, and the congressional salary is a minute centage of their annual income. Anyone who has a realistic view of erican politics should know you have to be rich to run for office, hetihat, or you must have some very wealthy, influential friends. One of the motivational factors behind this proposition is to prevent congress from taking money from lobbyists and other special eresi organizations, which to some people could be viewca as "fc»erv.

Though we passed through Phase One several -• means there was a deficit of $220,700,000,000. Where did all that nearly 1 trillion dollars go? What can we do to reduce that 220-billion dollar embarrassment called the deficit? Those questions actually are not as hard to answer as they may seem, or as hard to answer as politicians would MEvO have us believe, because their answers are closely related. Of that 989.8-billion dollar figure, 728-billion, or 74 percent, went to only four places; Defense, Social Security, Debt Interest, and Income Security (read welfare) in that order. The rest of the government, including areas like International Affairs, Energy, Agriculture, Environment, Housing, Transportation, Education, Medicare, and Administration of Justice combined got only 261.8 billion; just barely a third of what the Appalachian Columnist ©198* Mmt ^ Big Four got. That is where the trillion dollars went. It is logical to think that if these four areas are getting so much money and we have to cut elsewhere, they are the areas which should incur the cuts. But government is rarely logical and always greedy to spend somebody else's money. We cannot cut the amount spent on Debt Interest as this is the price we must pay for all our excessive borrowing. But what about the other three? The fact is, none of these areas are likely to incur much of the wrath of the falling budget ax. Defense is the pet of Republicans and conservative Democrats, and Republicans do wield quite a bit of influence on Capitol Hill. Welfare is the pet of Democrats, and they also have a lot of influence in Congress. Social Security is the pet of AARP, the most powerful and wealthiest special-interest group in the country. They may have more power than the Republicans and the Democrats combined. These three areas are going to get their share of the federal budget pie even if it kills the rest of the country. If any cuts are made in the budget, they will most likely be made in the other areas (except of course for Congressional Pay) so the big interest groups will continue to keep those campaign con­ tributions rolling in, and so the two parties can continue to play their silly political games of "one-upsmanship." Some people see this sorry situation and call for more taxes. This is ludicrous. If they want to give the government more money to waste, let them make a donation, but do not drag the rest of us in with you. Would a Dank loan money to a person who never pays his bills? Would you pay somebody for mowing your lawn if they never mowed it, of if they hit your car with the mower and did a couple of thousand dollars worth of damage? Not likely. But that is exact­ ly what these pro-tax increase people are telling us we should do. We, the people, are the federal government's bank, and I think our client has a very bad credit rating. Congress wastes the tax money we give them now; why in heaven's name should we give them any more? Congress has never shown one ounce of fiscal responsibility, and yet it has the gall to suggest we foot the bill for their irresponsible behavior by giving them more of our hard-earned money to flush down the toilet. There are some ways to manage the budget deficit. 1 really believe that. It simply is not a totally impossible task. First, Congress and the President must stop trying to pass the blame for the deficit off on each other. The government has managed to turn a profit only 27 times this century, and 19 of those were prior to Franklin Roosevelt taking office. There have been only 2 surpluses in the last 30 years, in 1960 and 1969. So the root of the problem goes back a long way, and trying to blame someone else only wastes time. What is important is solving the problem regardless of who, if anybody, caused it. Second, the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) syndrome must end. The NIMBY syn­ drome is what makes someone gripe about an overfilled landfill and then fight like a tiger to keep a new one from going anywhere its presence might inconvenience them. When applied to government, it is publicly saying, "we must cut spending!" while muttering under its breath, "but not in my favorite program." Congress has got to make the hard cuts, and they have to make them stick. If the cuts cause the bureaucracy to howl and whine, then Congress should make them while wearing earplugs. In each of the three big spending machines, Defense, Social Security, and Welfare, the bureaucracy and their good friends, the special interests, constitute a large part of the waste. Remember though, human beings may not live forever, but government programs do. I think a little Governmental Euthanasia is in order so we can put a few old dogs out of their, and more importantly our, misery. Hopefully, the President and Con­ gress will amazingly he smitten with a sudden burst of common sense and actually start doing something about the deficit rather than just bickering about who they can blame for it. Maybe they have the intestinal for­ titude needed to look the special interest groups in the eye and tell them where they can make their travel plans for, but I doubt it. They will just form a few new committees, create a couple of scapegoats, give themselves a pay raise, maybe raise taxes, and leave the problem for the next President and Congress to bicker over. Oh well, Phase Four is next.

We enjoyed your area, the beauty, and the hospitality. However, while there I picked up your college newspaper. I was ap­ palled at some of the contents of your paper. 1 believe in the free press, but I do not believe that an Editor should allow anything and everything to ap­ pear in the paper. The article itself was hard to take, and my blood boiled that anyone should be so "ig­ norant" as to write such words. The article itself denouncing the fun­ damentalists is not the problem; it was the gutter language that was us­ ed to express his ideas. I am a former student of the University of Arkansas and a graduate of the University of Cen­ tral Arkansas and we were taught to convey our ideas in a manner so as not to offend. The ad for condoms was also of­ fensive. As a Christian, I shall pray for Mr. Latendresse continually. Student newspapers have the tend. n.y to create Shockwaves, so I'm not surprised to find it in your col­ lege paper. I'm certain that your local newspaper would not allow such offensive language.

Most Greeks strive academical­ ly as much as they do athletically, socially and otherwise." The minimum GPA required to pledge or remain within a fraternity or sorority varies. Some organizations require a 2.0 while others require a CPA as high as 2.5. "Sometimes marginal students are allowed into the fraternity or sorority and that student can either improve, increase or stay the same depending on how that organization helps them," DiBernardi said. "In some cases, priorities are wrong and if marginal students are recruited, statistically grades do not increase while the student is pledging," he added. A scholarship committee headed by a scholarship chairperson is establish­ ed within each chapter. This commit­ tee aids the student academically and makes them aware of various services offered on campus such as tutoring, the Learning Assistance Program and study halls. "The scholarship chair(person) puts forth goals that members go for such as a study hall or a study buddy system and we work with each other and encourage each other to go to the library," President of Sigma Kappa sorority Angela Langely said. Sigma Kappa currently has the highest col­ lective GPA out of the seven sororities on campus. "We mainly concentrated on scholastic goals instead of social goals," Langley said. "It's made a difference (being in a sorority) and it gives me extra incentive to study more because I don't want to let down 73 other girls," Langley added. Alpha Kappa Alpha had the most improved GPA, jumping from a cumulative 2.44 last spring to a 2.60 this past semester. "With concentration, motivation and free time anyone can do it." President Terri Blackmon said. "It's not because of the sorority but because the girls themselves have raised the GPA," she added. Delta Chi is noted for the highest GPA out of eleven fraternities while Sigma Phi Epsilon is the most im­ proved over last semester. The Greek chapters are recognized with plaques for their academic achievement and some individual incentives include a 25 percent off monthly dues or no payment for those with the highest GPA within the chapter.

These tirses are: Introduction to Leaderj Development, Black Leadership incement, Applied Leadership lopment and Advanced LeaderDevelopment. Each of these sis worth three semester hours. Introduction to Leadership velopment, or HPC 2700, is taught Student Development and Leaderlip Specialist Nancy Jones. The I of this class, according to I Jones, "is to take a student who I maybe feels a little wobbly in some I areas and says, T really need some I help here,' and teach him some perIsonal things that he can do for himself I to make him a better, more producI 'ivesiudent and leader." Topics included in the class schedule are team building exercises, goal setting, decision making, and conflict resolution. Black Leadership Advancement, HPC 3536, is taught by Director of Minority Affairs Willie Fleming. The class syllabus includes such topics and activities as African kings, chiefs and leaders, Leadership characteristics of selected Black Amercians, motivation of members, and delegation of responsibility and a trip to Washington, D.C. Both the introduction class and the Black Leadership class are offered to any student who wishes to register for them. Applied Leadership Development, or HPC 3700, is taught by Director of the Student Development Center Lee McCaskey. This course is offered to students who already hold a position of leadership at ASU, such as a club or fraternity president. Students who are interested in enrolling in this class must submit an application and be interviewed. According to Jones, the application and interviewing ptocess is used "to be sure that a person who gets in this class will fit with the other five or six people that are in there...that they all are looking toward a common idea.. McCaskey said the stronger a leader is, the greater co-curricular experience and the better the experience is going to be for the individual. The goal for the Applied course, according to McCaskey, is to "help leaders evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and to assist them in developing a better co-curricular experience for the members of the organizations they lead." Advanced Leadership Develop­ ment, HPC 4300 is taught by Vice Chancellor of Student Development Dr. David Mclntire. This course is offered by invitation only. The class consists of approximately ten students who hold positions of importance for the ASU campus, such as SGA presi­ dent, WASU station manager, and CRSA president. Topics of discussion in the class include conducting effec­ tive meetings, motivation of members and delegation of responsibility, managing and resolving conflicts between groups. "Dr. Melntire's leadership class gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of other campus leaders who have a lot of the same problems that 1 do, and it was really helpful," Appalachian editor and former Advanced Leadership student Shelley Kaehr said. In addition to these four leadership classes, the Student Development Center offers leadership workshops throughout the semester. A total of 11 workshops are being offered this spring.

R a P« ! ^ *r s Agents, who adopted the plan ei^er' said the idea was to help s beat the rising cost of tuition schools. °wever, Raper's family was of­ fered a good deal by the university once before—one the school now may not want to honor. In 1856, IU fundraisers told poten­ tial donors that if they contributed $100, tuition would be waived for them, their sons, grandsons, great grandsons, and so on in perpetuity. Sixty-eight people took the offer, including state Ren. Elias Abel, Raper's great-great-great-greatgrandfather. Raper is now trying to benefit from the deal. However, Indiana residents pay about $1,100 a semester, not $8 as in 1856, and the university is studying how it will handle the family's claim. IU Director of News Services James Green said university counsel Cliff K. Travis received copies of wills and documents January 18 that establish a line of succession for the scholarship, and the university will decide whether to honor the 1856 offer soon. "We weren't able to make the deci­ sion without them," Green said. "A person needs to show eligibility before it will be honored." Raper's mother, Nancy Raper, said she has known about the scholarship since she was a little girl, but con­ sidered the piece of paper as a curiosi­ ty until a year ago. Previous genera­ tions of Abel's male decendents—the scholarship applied only to males because women were not admitted to the school in 1856—didn't go to col­ lege. Mrs. Raper said when her mother died a year ago and her son began making plans to attend Indiana, the significance of the scholarship occur­ red to her. "It's something that my greatgreat-great-grandfather purchased in the belief that his heirs would be taken care of," she said. "He was a supporter of the university, and I'm sure $100 helped tremendously at that time." IU attorney Travis said similar re­ quests have come up a few times in re­ cent decades, but have been rejected for in-state students on the basis of a university ruling that, technically, In­ diana residents pay "fees," not tui­ tion. Out-of-state residents are eligible for partial scholarships that make up the difference between in-state "fees" and the total charged to out-of-state residents. SGA r 4 SKNATE MEETS: SGA President Gary Greene announced during Tuesday's Senate meeting that the North Carolina University System would be sending a piece of legislation to Raleigh asking Governor Martin not to approve an increase in public university tui­ tion to aid private institutions.

By this stage of the game, it's very obvious that Michelle has become in­ fatuated with Jason. In its fledgling stages, however, the hints were subtle. She scribbled, "Michelle loves Jason" all over her notebooks. She called him and hung up whenever he answered the phone. She sculpted him in her food. This was my first big tipoff. We sat in the cafeteria, gossiping and discussing our math class—how much we hated the professor, the homework, the grad assistant, etc. Michelle was technically listening to what I was saying, but it was obvious that her mind was~somewhere else. I glanced down at her plate and saw, to my shock, that she was busily molding a bust of someone out of her mashed potatoes. 1 didn't say anything for a minute. She finished the features to her satisfaction, then carefully placed the lettuce leaf atop the sculpture for hair and placed two green peas where the eyes should be. She sat back and sighed. "Michelle?" I said. "What in the hell is that?" She looked at me with chagrin. "Isn't it obvious? Who does it look like?" What an oaf, I'm sure she was thinking. "Well,. ..!'..I mused, attempting to be delicate. Frankly, to me, it resembled a'pasty Orson Welles, but I doubted he was the object of her ob­ ject d'art. " I really don't know. Who's it supposed to look like?" She leaned close to me and whispeied in a conspiratorial tone, "It's supposed to be Jason. Did you know that I have a huge crush on him?" Nooooooooooo. That was three weeks ago. Now her disease has progressed. She camps outside his apartment. She sends him flowers everyday with a card that reads, "I'd give up gummybears if you would tickle my toes with an ostrich feather." She's hired a skywriter. Jason has yet to acknowledge her existence. Ain't love grand? Infatuations with mere mortals seem to be less consuming than those with superstars. Those are pretty darn scary. I myself was a "Durannie" in high school (please keep the tomatothrowing and catcalling to a minimum). When one becomes obsessed with meeting, talking to, and winning the undying love of a person who is not only out of reach but pro­ bably is an egocentric, neurotic jerk to boot, one sets oneself up for one of three things: (A) Being bitterly disap­ pointed, either by not ever hav­ ing contact with the person or realizing he/she is not the cat's pajamas after all. (B) Losing the respect and at­ tention of one's peers who are above collecting Rob Lowe bubble gum cards. or.. . (C) Giving up, going to col­ lege, getting a job, and having a normal life. See you in Nirvana, kiddies. Another world: Jim Mukenge offers new perspective By JIM MUKENGE Appalachian Staff Writer Editor's Note: Jim is president of our International Friendship Associa­ tion. This is my fourth year at Appalachian. I'm a long way from my native Zaire, which is in Central Africa. Time and time again I've been asked "How is it like over there?" "Do y'all have monkeys and wild animals running around and stuff?" Or, "Say something in African!," which would be like asking a French­ man to speak European! I thought maybe it would be a good idea to write a column talking about life in my homeland. How people go by their day-to-day routine. How they rejoice, hurt, and, most of all, sur­ vive. Indeed, it is another world out there. A world that is facing a tremen­ dous socio-economic struggle. 1 recall the Christmas of '78 in Kinshasa, capital of Zaire, a city of more or less three million inhabitants. Christmas is very low key, no extravaganza of gifts and toys. A mid­ night mass will suffice. However, peo­ ple have worked hard the whole year trying to save some money to provide plenty of food for the holiday season. Clothing and shoes come second on their lists. This is a country where the equivalent of 300 to 500 dollars a year would be an average salary for a policeman^-a ieacher or a construc­ tion worker! And, believe me, it does not cover the expenses of a family of 5 or 6. How do people make ends met? It is simple—they don't. There are a lot of empty stomachs for days! Thus, the corruption makes its way much easier. Everybody has an excellent excuse. The Great Leopard, surname of the General-president for life— Founder of the Party—Father of the revolution—Secretary of defense, The Guide (amen!) happens to be filthy rich. He and his family are not bashful about exhibiting their posses­ sions! They occasionally order a planeload of tulips from Holland or an armada of Mercedes front Ger­ many. They_wandec around inTlasby designer clothes (Cardin, Givenchy, Dior, you name it). This is in a coun­ try where malnutrition hits millions of children who are running around naked. You have seen them on your T.V. with flocks of flies all over their skinny bodies! Christmas of '78, the streets are packed around the Avenue du Com­ merce (the downtown shopping area). Thousands of people elbowing each other are trying desperately to find a bargain. Unfortunately, the mer­ chants are merciless. They have quadrupled the price of all articles. A bag of rice (50 pounds) costs the equivalent of 150 dollars. Needless to say, rice is a luxury item. So several families put their money together to purchase a bag and then they divide it. It is the same process for a beef shoulder. Mind you, most of the population has no means to preserve items. Well, they try to find a "vuandu" (rich man) who lives in their neighborhood and rent some room in his fridge! The only cheap thing around is beer! One bottle of 75cl (about four cans) costs 50 cents! So, you might go hungry but you still have beer to help you forget. . . Anyway, why Christmas of '78? Because 1 was 21, a student at the Universite Nationale du Zaire. Students and military dictatorships do not mix (I wonder why). 1 was to go to Brazzaville, Capital of the French Congo. The two capitals (Brazza and Kinshasa) are just miles apart, separated by the Congo river. Brazza is socialist and Kinshasa is capitalist or whatever! We (the capitalists) ex­ port diamonds, gold, jeans and other vital items like that. They, the socialists, export spare parts, ap­ pliances and other futilities. So here I was, planning to go purchase some futile spare parts for a Renault vehi­ cle, when the Christmas present from the government made us change our plans. The evening news announced, on December 24, 1978, that the money was devaluated and we had a brand new currency. All existing bank-notes and coins were of no value! And all frontiers were closed for an entire month! I would have been stuck for a month with spare parts to eat! This was the biggest rip off! A government changing its currency overnight and putting a ceiling on the amounts allowed to be exchanged per individual (100 dollars)! Only in a dic­ tatorship. Ninety percent of the population has no banking accounts. Sixty per­ cent live in villages where schools and hospitals are nowhere to be found, much less a banking institution! They would have to catch a plane, a train or a truck and travel hundreds of miles to get their 20 or 40 dollars exchanged! The trip alone would have taken care of their savings... The moral of the story: "Do not keep your money at home under your mats, you might wake up broke and starve over the holiday season in a military dictatorship!" ASUfiction spotlight: Bewildered aliens abandon galaxy in a bottle project By MARK S. WILLIAMS Appalachian Staff Writer Ender looked up from his task as he heard Gora enter the toom. "Ender, have you solved the pro­ blem in tank Z67809-ALPHA yet?" "No, the sentients are continuing to pollute the environment. Borbox tests reveal high concentrations of Zmax and the ph-1 level peaked at 8.9 today." "I fear that we may lose that tank. Those damn specimens cost so much to produce and we've only had two weeks to study them." "Should 1 add some more medicine to the environment?" "No Ender, not yet...." Meanwhile, inside what the Gatian race referred to as tank Z67809-ALPH A, the 'sentient specimens' were not aware of the fact that their existence was contingent upon the Gatians. As a matter of fact, one of their leaders, know as Presi­ dent Ronald Reagan for some strange reason, was leaving his post to be replaced by another, equally in­ competent sentient. The behavior of the sentients was something still quite perplexing to the Gatians even though thev watched the sentients often. The Gatians witnessed that the sen­ tients had evolved quite quickly (only a couple of weeks to grow to their former state), and that they were now capable of leaving their tiny rock and travelling to other rocks (which was good because the ammonium levels on their home rock were nearing a fatal level). The Gatians were very interested in watching the sentients as they became more intelligent by questioning. One particular specimen they found especially interesting... "1 am telling you that we don't ex­ ist!" cried professor Conrad of the Berkeley Institute of Philosophy. "We can't be being!" "Woooooooow,"said the DeadHeaded Hippie in the front row. "I know what you mean." "You're wrong! I exist because I believe in Christ and he speaks to me and 1 read his book a n d . . . . " "Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.. .How can you rely on faith? You must use reason and the professor is right. We don't exist," the red-headed philosophy major screamed. "I'm right and you're wrong!" yelled the Christian. Ender sighed. He had been working on this tank for a long time and just couldn't get the pollutants out of the tank. He decided that he would re­ arrange the tank, take out a few of the rocks, sterilize them, and do a 50 per­ cent gaseous liquids change. "Wow! Did you seee that shooting starrr???" asked the southern coun­ try girl making love to the assistant manager of Revco under the moon. "What, hugh? Naw, I didn't see anything...." The philosophy professor at Berkeley knelt before the Christian in his class and prayed that he would be forgiven. The Signs had been witness­ ed! The moon had turned blood red and the planets had been redistri­ buted. Christian prophecy was com­ ing true. The Messiah would return. Gora entered again.. . "Are you finished with that tank yet?" "Well, in my haste I accidentally spilled red-bicromate on that rock. It seemed to have a strange effect on many of the people." " I think that they are beyond hope.. .Kill them and clean the tank. We'll run clean gaseous liquids through it for a week and then start a new test." "I'm sorry, sir," Ender replied. "Save your damn sorry for the board of inquiry when they ask how we spent two hectares. The cost was too great." Ender sighed as he turned out the light on tank Z67809-ALPHA.

The western literary tradition of oic fiction dates to the Epic of jlgamesh, the earliest known frag it of which is 5,000 years old. gamesh was a Sumerian prince h o was "two parts god and one rtman;" the gods created Enkidu challenge him, a wild man whose ngth rivaled Gilgamesh's. When two fought, they learned respect one another and became arable friends. Together they many adventures, which are tl read and studied by scholars. Comic books are reputed to be sole domain of children and terates, an attitude that seems to ginate in the idea that a "picture \>ook" is necessarily a "stupid" one and ike plots tend to be little more itelicated than a Road Runner oon. While neither idea is totalerroneous, both miss the point ~ what. / V/hile comics ARE illustrated, the pictures make a story ronic is without logic. That idea plies that any visual medium, has TV or movies, will also be inous. hat much of television, movies yes, comics too, is indeed ilic is evidence of the very real fficulty of conveying more ebral material in visual form, ne of which means it isn't e—think of works such as L;en Kane and Hill Street Blues. And just because some comics consist of wall-to-wall fights n 't make the whole medium a 'eland, A good comic can be as "y different things as a good vie. ' f a c t , reading a comic, even a ly cretinous one, is more of a 'al stretch than sitting in a v-ie theater or in front of the TV ; a lump of flesh and being jn-fed everything. You do have r a v e the printed word to take in °cmiic. here lies (he beauty of the wum; comics combine the "less flexibility of print with °f the power and immediacy '' m - The visual nature of the t^can give it a depth of reality to film, " °f this is rationalization for ewho devote their time and e V to comics because they love lc stories. That love is ething people have shared for tands of years; it's older than 0 n e Ranger, King Arthur and tt'Enls, Greek mythology, or e Epic of Gilgatnesh. I 0l| bt anyone can intelligently e fythology has no literary fee. The heroic epic incora|cs to| u £ l j I can't remember how we (Scott and I) found out the Friars were play­ ing within the confines of my humble abode but however the news reached us, we headed downstairs to Amadeus. I think it was my second trip there in the semester (a record which still stands for us, by the way). We answered the trivia question, downed two Buds, and decided to stay awhile. A couple of friends hap­ pened to be there so we went for some uncharacteristic sober socializing. The band came on and within the time the first tune started to its end, it became apparent something exciting and new was happening that night. I started asking around to see if anybody had seen these guys before and a couple of people said that they had seen them at The Pub the week before. They went on to say how much they enjoyed that show while in the background 1 was hearing how much I was enjoying this one. The Friars were onstage playing straight ahead rock and roll and obviously having a great time doing it. The crowd was a little sparse but it didn't affect their performance at all. It was a shame that there wasn't a big crowd to give some of their enthusiasm back to them. Although it really isn't fair to do to a band, the first thing I started to think was: Who does this band sound like? Nothing like a spur of the moment label to conveniently sum­ marize a band's sound. They sounded like early Who, latter-day Credence, Younger Than Yesterday—era Byrds, and bits of several other groups. It varied from song to song and even within the songs it could sound like a melting pot of America's best offer­ ings. There was something about the band that was a bit like the Velvet Underground and with that said, it should be apparent that this band has something going for them. I talked with the band after the show and mentioned the aforementioned com­ parison. They just shrugged^it off and kind of laughed. I told them how much I enjoyed the show and they were genuinely appreciative. Months later I talked with the band at the Klondike on import day (that's Wednesday, kids). 1 told bassist Scott Nicholson and guitarist Larry Roessel I had seen their flyers all over the place for the past year but hadn't heard anything about them. They were good natured but a little regretful that they hadn't quite caught on as big as they might , like. Scott told me the old flyers were an attempt to recreate, in a very modest fashion, the Filmore East con­ cert posters. From there I went on to ask a few obligatory rock journalism questions like how long had they been playing together. The answer was about a year and I started feeling like Kurt Loder so the conversation became a bit less structured. They weren't anxious to reel off a list of influences like 1 was asking for. They preferred to let me tell them what I thought they sounded like. They didn't seem to mind the comparisons and eventually we started talking about music. We seemed to agree about a few things and even got on a stint about John Hammond and early Dylan. I asked them about covers and they mentioned The Vapor's "Turn­ ing Japanese" and a Ten Years After tune that escapes me at press time. When we left I asked them if they had a demo tape, they said they could tape a practice and give me that to listen to for a while. After listening to the tape I am real­ ly looking forward to their next show, which is tonight at Amadeus. I'll be dragging a few of my friends over to check it out. I can't overemphasize how good it is to have a rock band in Boone that plays over 90 percent originals and well-chosen covers. Last weekend at The Pub, the Outer Limits and No Reason Why played a great show that fits that description. Scott Nicholson told me he remembers the musical climate in Boone a few years back and bands like Discord and Not The Numbers helped to make it fresh and exciting. No Reason Why, The Outer Limits, and the Friars offer a worthwhile change from the endless caravan of blues and reggae bands that so love our fair city. By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Staff Writer Greatest hits packages are great if you're in the need to play "catch-up" with a band that eluded your liking in the oast. Honestly, I don't know what I would've done without Romanes Mania, The Beatles: 1962-1966, or even something as great as the Atlan­ tic Rhythm and Blues series. Yet here we have the Who, a band known the world over for changing their stripes whenever a new set of stripes became the "hot thang." Who's Better, Who's Best is their third greatest hits collection, and God knows, I thought the Rolling Stones needed more money when they put out these types of record sets. Right now The Appalachian sports department tallies the score at: Who compilations: 3 Stones compilations: 3 Rush live albums: 3 U2 live albums: 2Zi Let us begin with the Who in their "angry as hell" youth phase. Yeah, they were a bunch of meaqand nasty hoods around 1965 who were tired of people trying to put them down just because they got around. (But do they talk about my generation?) I can't explain it—don't ask me. Hey, do you remember those suits they wore?? No wonder they were angry.. .would you go on stage looking litye that? I bet their mothers were ^shamed of their stage performance, alsp. (Peter, your father worked a week bf second shift to pay for that guitar!) I'm sure Mum gave them "what for" about their dress, attitude, and hanging around an ugly duckling like Keith Moon. Now we shall substitute (this is get­ ting fun!) all the anger for the mellow psychedelia of the' late 60's. I'm so glad Roger got his Magic Bus, aren't you kids? I can see him putting his mama with the squeeze box on her chest in the shotgun seat and heading up to Tommy's Holiday Camp. The stories. w '" W e ever see Gilgamesh I Enkia l fv n battle the Joker?

There may be other groups of musicians who earn more money or who stand a better chance of landing a recording con­ tract, but none of them play with the tightness and unity of No Reason Why. Frenzied, frantic guitar (Chris Cybulski), throbbing, rhythmic bass (Ken Jones), wailing, occasionally screaming vocals (Wendy Sykes) underlined and punctuated with startling and precise percussion (Ron Keever). That's No Reason Why. Though their name might lead you mama might have forgotten to call a babysittei, but don't worry Ma, the kids are alright. (Oh no. I'm getting as bad as the sportscasters with the cliches. Help me, please.) I must say 1 am surprised "Behind Blue Eyes" isn't on this album. Neither is "Love Reign O'er Me." "Join Together" is on it along with "See Me, Feel Me," so you can go back to feeling way cool. If you're taking the news too badly, DON'T trash your room like Keith Moon would. After all, he could afford the cost of repair. Y'know, as mellow as the Summer of Drugs was, the Who could still get angry. Did you ever see when Pete found a way to use his geetar like a 9-iron on a guy at Woodstock? Pretty neat, Pete. Keith Moon almost signed a contract with the English national team after they saw him kicking his drums with more abandonment than he played them, saying a lot of course. Then Roger had his chance to join the microphone bull-roping team. In practice he snagged a police barricade and tied it down in 4.2 seconds! Oh yeah, the album. If you didn't get one of the earlier greatest hits albums already, then buy one of these. This is good, but why did MCA Records even bother? I'll tell you why in four easv letters. CASH!!!! Remember that little green stuff? The stuff all of you want and the stuff John Entwhistle needs to pay off some debts? He's got a really nice mansion, I understand. He wouldn't want to lose it. So many of their actions during their tenure as a band showed they followed all things trendy except for disco. (Hey, I never said they didn't have a conscience.) Roger LOVED punk, but the whole idea of that fringe was to give the finger to the "dinosaurs," including HIM! I suppose rock does try to bite the hand thai feeds it sometimes. \ primal of human Since conflict is basic to *•» e x p e r ' e n c e > works deals u c h simple concepts as - evil are the most powerful and By BILL BALDWIN to believe NRW are a group of apathists, or they have no real reason to exist, just the opposite is true, No Reason Why have a pupose—FUN. It's fun to listen to and watch No Reason Why. . .probably because they have so much fun performing. The positive energy from the band rubs off on the crowd, and everyone has fun. It's not acceptable to not en­ joy a NRW concert. In their best performance to date, NRW played to a large and en­ thusiastic crowd last Friday at the Pub. As always, No Reason Why at­ tracted an unusual crowd...all the gloom ies were there looking, well.. .gloomy. All the young "loathers" were out in droves, loathing themselves and each other and hurling themselves at each other on the dance floor with immense satisfaction. As evidenced by my presence, some normal people did at­ tend. Vocalist Wendy Sykes greeted the audience and dedicated the first number (an inspired and effective cover of Peter Murphy's "Final Solu­ tion") to John Golden. With many people on the dance floor, the band rocked right into their next tune, an original called "Penis." "Ode," another original, was next. Sykes described this song as "a ma­ jestic ballad by Air Supply stan­ dards... Chris Cybulski's frustrated and astounding guitar on this song was one of his many moments to shine during the evening. Watch ' Cybulski. He's going to be on album covers someday, whether it's with this band or another one. His get-off- THEY'RE BACK: The Who has resurfaced yet again with their latest LP, "Who's better, Who's best." Rumors have finally become truth as the Who recently announced plans for another tour. This LP is their fourth greatest-hits album. There is some good news to tell all you groovy Who fans. The guys are putting out a new album and hope to take the pinball crowns back for themselves. (You thought 1 was over with the jokes, huh?) Wail until that comes out... Don't bother with this—you better not, you better not, vou bet. It's not the most creative 25th Anniversary present. your-ass guitar was highlighted again on "Sigh," another NRW original. This number incited the audience to participate in even more frenzied dan­ cing (or a violent facsimile thereof!). Joy Division's "Warsaw," the ban's second inspired cover of the evening, was quite well-received by the audience. The band performed two more originals—"Shatter" and "Amber," the latter of which showcased the talents of bassist Ken Jones and was dedicated to his former band, Burning Giraffe. I may be going out on a limb to say this, but I think No Reason Why made rock history when they per­ formed their medley of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" and Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead." It might sound like a nightmare to you, and there may be a former Southern rock legend/guitar hero turning over in his grave now, but Wendy Sykes on stage in a Batman T-shirt wailing "If I leave here tomorrow..." was the fulfill­ ment of one of my favorite fantasies. No Reason Why left their audience wanting more after their final number, a cover of Pink Floyd's "Lucifer Sam." Another excellent choice for cover material, this one gave the entire band an excuse to cut loose. Not that they ever need an ex­ cuse to cut loose. Do yourself a favor. Go see No Reason Why the next time they play. Go prepared to have fun. Go prepared to hear a Randy Travis/Sex Pistols medley. Go prepared to for­ nicate in your dorm for hours after it's over. Go for no reason at all. Scrujfy scores on LP By ERIC D. MILLER Appalachian Opinion Editor the m o s t * hinUu1"' Don't need a reason to see Who's better, who's best, who's rich Ses' "of The Friars appear at Amadeus tonight. If you are an alternative music fan, then Scruffy the Cat's "Moons of Jupiter" LP should be at the top of your "to buy" list. The band, which hails from Boston, has long been a favorite on the underground club circuit, and with this album, Scruffy the Cat should get some nationwide attention. Their sound is something like a cross between R.E.M. and the Stray Cats. And as if that wasn't scary enough, they also do a bit of "I Think We're Alone Now" in the middle-of the title track. The album starts with "Capital Moonlight," a catchy, pop-type song that will probably find its way onto the radio. The next song, "Bus Named Desire" is reminiscent of 50s rock, and makes little to no sense. But that's OK because neither does the next song, "Betty Drops In." Although neither of these songs make perfect sense, they're still cool anyway. With the fourth song, "I Do," Scruffy moves into country territory. The sound is upbeat, happy, and rather corny, much like most of to­ day's successful country. The first side ends with four good, if not unremarkable songs. All four sound a lot like something the Stray Cats would do on a good day. "Nova SS 1968" is an instrumental, and "Buck Naked" even sounds a little like the Georgia Satellites on speed. The second side starts with the best song on the album. "Moons of Jupiter, " the title track, is a catchy tune combined with Scruffy's usual sound, and a touch of cheesy outer space sounds are thrown in for good measure. The lyrics here are also cool—"1 want to go to the moons of Jupiter, seen the pictures in a magazine, 1 want to go to the moons of Jupiter, escape the political scene." The final song on the album, "Keith's Lament" is also a little dif­ ferent. It's another country one, but this time the feel is more of a 50s type of Hank Williams country. The lyrics reflect this—"A woman can keep you warm when it's cold out, a guitar sings to you when you're blue, a man can face the world with either by his side, but I've never had a guitar break my heart." Overall, this is one of the finest alternative albums I've heard this year. This stuff can take a while to get used to, but at least it's not another band trying to look, and sound, just like everyone else. �llll: Rats of ASCI Renee's Beauty Shoppe Fraternity Paddles and othe, items of wood & leather for your events • Misty Mountain Leather Co. • COMPLETE FAMILY HAIR CARE 107 A p p a l a c h i a n S t r e e t B o o n e , N C 264-7274 1"sldc' lhe 'Gobbler Shop' • APPALACHIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1989 ^ Styles for $20 Thank you Faculty Staff and Students Special good until Feb. 14 Mon-Fri 9:00 to 6:00 Sat 9:00 to 3:00 264-9114 Allyn M o r t o n Anniversary 801 E.

The 76-69 game raised the Mountaineer's record to 14-4 overall and 4-3 in the Southern Conference while VMI fell to 6-10 and 2-5. Tom Apke regrouped with a time-out, Peel hit a 3-pointer and Phillips took over the offense by scoring nine straight points, he finished with a game-high 19. Phillips neutralized the overplaying defense of VMI by driv­ ing the lane. The half ended with a 40-36 Ap­ palachian lead. The second half was characterized by scrappy play as the ASU cagers "This game was very important. We knew after the Marshall loss, we were still tied for second. A loss to VMI would have really drop­ ped us back.'' Kemp Phillips The hard-fought ASU win came without the team's leading scorer and rebounder, Sam Gibson. Tim Powers started in his place but shared time with Jimmy Stewart because of foul difficulty. The inside scoring and re­ bounding was provided mainly by Ben Miller, who finished with 16 ploited as the Keydets charged back with a 13-2 run and took a 25-20 lead in the first half. After App coach scrambled for every loose ball. "ASU wanted the loose balls, and they got them," VMI head basketball points and 10 rebounds. Because of the lack of height and foul trouble, the Mountaineers went with three guards much of the time. Rodney Peel and Kemp Phillips started well as the Mountaineers jumped to a 17-10 lead early in the game. The absence of Gibson was then excoach Joe Cantafio said. The Mountaineers led by as many as six points in the second half, but a Keydet rally put them in a 50-46 deficit. Another 3-pointer by Peel finally moved ASU into a 60-57 lead and they never looked back. Both teams shot over 50 percent from the floor but 23 turnovers by VMI was too much for them to over­ come. The ASU win pushed them into a four-way tie for second place in the Southern conference with the Citadel, Furman, and East Tennessee State. All are only one game behind first place Tennessee-Chattanooga. "This game was very important. We knew after the Marshall loss, we were still tied for second. A loss to VMI would have really dropped us back," Kemp Phillips said. Appalachian's next game is away against Davidson on Wednesday night. Their next Southern Con­ ference match is in Cullowhee against Western Carolina on Saturday. The Appalachian / WASU Athlete of the week By ROGER WATSON Assistant Sports Edilor This week the athlete of the week feature has turned into athletes of the week. That's because the four-man mile relay team has been chosen. The team consists of sophomore Frank Allen, sophomore Phillip Smith, freshman Eric Joe, and sophomore Curtis Lowe. The team ran a com­ bined time of 3:16.53 at the Eastman Kodak Invitationals in Johnson City. The time was 1.46 seconds more than the school record, but it was good enough to give ASU the win over teams from all over the eastern seaboard. In the first leg of the run, Frank Allen ran a time of 49.10. Allen started running track through a sum­ mer track club in Durham. He also ran track at Southern Durham High School, where he set quite a few records. He was part of the mile relay team in high school and helped set the school record. Allen also set records in the 100 and 200 meter dashs. He was recruited by N.C. State and Clcmson but picked ASU and he's happy with his decision. "The thing I like most about ASU is the individuality, as far as school and being part of the track team. They pay close attention to you as an individual—how you feel and how you progress." After school Allen wants to run for a sponsorship and possibly go for the Olympics, but if that isn't possible he would like to help young runners develop their potential. Phillip Smith, from Glenn High School in Winston-Salem, ran the sec­ ond leg of the race in a time of 60.6. Although he's a sophomore, this is his first year competing. He is glad the team is doing so well. "I think it's a big honor. We really only have four indoor meets. Coming into the con­ ference with the best time, everyone will be shooting for us. The only thing we are concerned about is a school record and the national qualifying time. With three sophomores and a freshman, we have plenty of time. We get stronger as the years grow along." Smith is a media advertising major and he also competes in the 400, 200, and 55 meter dashs. Eric Joe is the third leg of the team, l ast Saturday, he ran 48.9. Ericcomes from Jacksonville, N.C. He started off playing football in high school and he began running track his sophomore year. He decided to go to ASU because of the quality track team. He was also recruited by Western Carolina, VMI, and Pem­ broke State. After he gets out of school, Eric has the ultimate goal of being on the Olympic team, but if that doesn't work out he plans to be an accountant. The anchor of the team is Curtis Lowe. He ran a blistering 47.9 to bring home the win for the Moun­ taineers. I owe went to high school in Rockingham County, where he set a school record in the 400 meters and finished second in the state in the event. Lowe is majoring in criminal justice and is happy about the mile relay team being first in the Southern Conference. "I think we all worked hard. Being in practice we're all com­ peting well and pushing each other to strive and do better." In the future Lowe wants to go to the NCAA tour­ nament and after school he wants to get into the military police. The team certainly has done well and their success points to the coaching ability of head coach A1 Fereshetian and sprinter coach Beth Bonner. Allen said Bonner has been a major factor in the team's success. Congratulations guys, and good luck in the future. By ROGER WATSON Assistant Sports Editor A1 Fereshetian is the new men's track coach at ASU. Fereshetian grew up outside of Concord, New Hamp­ shire. He started out playing hockey and only began running cross country to condition him for hockey. After he discovered that he was better in track than hockey, he changed and started running seriously his junior year. Fereshetian decided to take a year off from school after high school and got a iob as the assistant press secretary for the Governor of NewHampshire. After that he attended Bently College for two years, where he studied accounting because he wasn't really sure what he wanted to do. When Fereshetian decided he wanted to coach track, he transferred to (he University of New Hampshire. He gained coaching experience by assisting at a high school for three years in the cross country program. He also assisted with the women's program at the University of New Hampshire for three years. After Fereshetian received his degree, he sent out letters and resumes looking for a coaching job. That began his career at Kansas. The Kansas Jayhawks hired Coach Fereshetian as a graduate assistant for a year. The Jayhawks also had other graduate assistants and they were all specializing in the sprinting part of track and field. So Coach Fereshetian decided to use his experience in coaching throws instead of directly competing with the other graduate assistants looking for a position on C3n brea^ UP a e • c'mon!

The strategy worked and Fereshetian became the manager of the Kansas Relays and assistant track coach under Bob Timmons, a name revered in track and field circles. Fereshetian coached at Kansas for four years. Then Timmons retired and he had to Find another job. Coach Fereshetian was being con­ sidered for assistant positions at Maine, Pennysylvania, and Missouri. At the Olympic Trials this summer Coach Fereshetian was picked by a computer to room with John Weaver, the women's indoor track coach at ASU. The two shared information about Kansas and ASU. Fereshetian thought ASU sounded like a place he would like to work but originally there wasn't an opening on the staff. "I like the mountains and 1 knew that ASU was a place that I would like to coach, but there wasn't an opening on the staff until John (Weaver) called home and his wife mentioned that Bob Pollock had been offered a job at Clemson and she thought that he was going to take it," Fereshetian said. One thing led to another and after an interview, Fereshetian was given the job as head of the men's track team at ASU. "I have a strong belief in God and I have had a lot of things in life worked out for me," Fereshetian said. Fereshetian was left with a strong track program and has kept it strong. "I feel extremely fortunate to be in a situation where I inherited a great group of kids. We've got some firstclass individuals on the team," Fereshetian said. He added they weren't only good in competition, but also in the classroom. The team's immediate goal is to win the Southern Conference. "We've performed well and we're going to have to perform well to win the Southern Conference. It's not going to be handed to us but I'll be disap­ pointed if we don't win," Fereshetian said. So far, Coach Fereshetian has shown he is a great coach and a class individual who can continue to make ASU a wonderful place to learn and compete.

PA's need }provement Greek grade point averages are slightly lower than the ali­ us grades for the Fall '88 semester. e e all-campus GPA for Fall '88 was 2.56, and the all-Greek average 2 47. While this may not seem to be a great difference, it is signifito these organizations which supposedly stress high grade ritenance. sororities on campus had acceptable GPAs ranging from 2.83 . ria Kappa) to 2.57 (Alpha Delta Pi); however, two fraternities had " -kingly low GPAs of 1.44 and 2.07. j_§cwcan these two fraternities continue to function? Obviously, the •ixiduals in these groups need to spend their free time in a more pro_ live manner than partying or participating in these organizations. (Organization membership is a privilege, and members who cannot l the academic standards should not be allowed to participate. [TXtes anyone monitor these grades? Supposedly, there are grade irements for Greek organizations, but it seems from examining « of these grades that no one has been taking action to help raise OPAs. ivfost Greeks participate in a study hall while they are pledging. This 3 . r excellent way to encourage new members to raise their GPAs or -intain the minimum average in order to be initiated. The problems ;after the pledge is inducted into the organization. Emphasis then iflsfrom academics to partying and other greek-related activities, /advisors to these organizations need to exercise greater authority in matter to insure that those organizations who are chartered deserve remain active in the Greek community. \ f this situation is not monitored more closely, participation in these erk activities will not matter because the affected students will be ed to leave the university or be placed on academic probation. T is good to be involved in extra-curricular activities, but only as a plement to education. i enure is no excuse N-lany professors who receive tenure take it for the honor it is, while »eis abuse privileges. Seme type of strict evaluation process must be developed to monitor performance of these professors. Because they are being paid much more than the average professor, quality of the materials presented to classes should be above and "ond regular instruction. Too many times, tenured individuals do not care about the academic ntent of courses and do not bother to show up for class sessions. ' 1 is disappointing to students with a desire to learn to take a class 1 <-:h the professor has no interest in teaching. Instead of idly waiting retirement, these people must be required to teach!!!!! rofessors with tenure should channel their energies in productive ^ 5 such as promotion and recognition of faculty rights. Tenured **lty who do not have to worry about salary cuts are much more r 'o criticize administrative policies and ultimately benefit the **ltvas a whole by acting as their voice. What are we teaching our kids ? Have you watched any of those new cartoons your younger brothers/sisters/cousins have been watch­ ing lately? Things like "Rambo, the cartoon," "G.I. Joe" and "Thundercats" are what they are wat­ ching, and in my opinion, these shows are the ab­ solute epitome of "trash TV." The horrible things which Hollywood subjects poor, unsuspecting adults to such as "Thirtysomething" and "The Morton Downey Show" are bad enough, but giving this kind of mindless drivel to kids is inexcusable. I mean, what kind of role models are we presenting for our kids? Let's first examine our old buddy Rambo. In his original incarnation, he was a Vietnam vet who returns home and is shunned by his own country. This was a noble attempt by the movie industry to recognize the many veterans who went through this terrible ordeal, and they should be commended for it. Then, in the movie Rambo, this same character was sent back to Vietnam in order to rescue some POWs. The general plot of the movie is that the U.S. government wants to send Rambo in to take pictures of an alleged POW camp in order to prove there were no POWs. Rambo, however, decides to rescue the POWs, who did exist, and is then screwed over by the government, who don't want there to be any POWs. This, incidentally, was in keeping with Ronald Reagan's policy that THERE WERE NO POWs. So then Rambo decides to go back home and mutilate the government man who sent him to Viet­ nam in the first place. In doing so, he happens to have to defeat an entire army of Russians. So how did this all of a sudden turn into a "kill Eric Miller the commie"-type favorite? Rambo was an antiadministration movie. Now he is presented to im­ pressionable young minds as a patriotic American hero (which he is) who hates the Russians and wants only to make the world safe for capitalists (which he doesn't). And what in the world ever happened to G.E Joe? I used to have a Joe doll when I was a kid. You pull­ ed his string and he said, "mission accomplished, good work men" or something equally corny. Now you watch the show and see a bunch of super soldiers who are supposedly America's elite fighting force who go under the collective title of G.E Joe. Perhaps I really am getting old, but this seems like a crime against history to me. G.I. Joe was cool as one guy. But as a bunch of "commie" bashing, rightwing Reaganites, G.I. Joe is a bad thing. Then there is a whole other breed of cartoon drivel which includes shows like "Thundercats" and "The Transformers." This stuff is more violent than NWA wrestling (another Saturday morning favorite). Why on earth are we indoctrinating our children with these kinds of "War is cool" messages? Is our society so caught up in maintaining a strong "defense" that we have to make sure our kids are ready to go to war as soon as they leave the crib? I think this may, in part, be the case. Of course, it could also be that children just go for the exciting things, but this argument really doesn't wash. You can make an exciting show without billing everyone as "REAL AMERICAN HEROS." Kids really get into "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" and "Inspector Gadget;" they really don't care what the message is as long as it is exciting. So, all you stupid adult Hollywood propagandists, quit brainwashing our kids! Aren't you happy enough presenting your skewed view of the world through those pathetic soaps and docu-dramas for braindead adults? Bob Goldthwait was great the other night. He was funny, and he spouted off rather egalitarian rhetoric, but everyone loved him anyway. Apparent­ ly it's okay to be liberal (even around here) as long as you're funny. Why couldn't we hold up people like Springsteen, Bono, Tracy Chapman, or Bob Goldthwait as role models for our kids? People who are cool, but aren't a bunch of self-righteous morons such as say, Schwarzenegger or Tom Selleck. It's about time we as a nation realize our attitudes are self-destructive. And even if it's too late to change our present leaders' minds, perhaps it's not too late to help the next generation. Condom machines provide freedom To the Editor: In the Tuesday, January 24 Ap­ palachian, William E. O'Flaherty ex­ pressed the opinion that condoms are no substitute for abstinence from sex. He states quite logically, "if there are negative consequences which result from some type of behavioral choice, then the ideal solution would be to decrease or eliminate the chosen behavior which creates the problem or potential pro­ blem." His examples were excessive drinking, obesity, smoking, drug use, rape, and exceeding the speed limit. Smoking, drinking and drug abuse can be remedied by abstinence and understanding. Abstinence alone cannot cure these problems. Ab­ staining from food is impossible; even Oprah eats. Besides, the social ramifications of obesity are relatively small. Rape and speeding have a greater social bearing. We should not provide means for safer rape and speeding; they are considered crimes. Who, besides some organ­ ized religions, considers sex a crime? Organized religion does not govern this campus or this country. There is no need to connect abstinence and religion as Mr. O'Flaherty suggests. I choose abstinence for myself. It works great for me! It's cheaper, less time con­ suming, I cannot catch AIDS. (Sometimes I worry about warts, hairy palms, and blindness, but I think that is just a myth created to impose morality.) Besides, why worry about advertising abstinence? Isn't the choice already there? It seems unfair for religious organiza­ tions to promote their own ideology. Mr. O'Flaherty also stated there are natural laws in regards to sexual activity. There are natural laws, but Mr. O'Flaherty has declared premarital and extramarital sex are not included in these. Does this mean all the copulating birds and bees in the world are happily wedlocked? (I love a good dog wed­ ding!) This does not apply anyway, as everyone knows humans are not animals. We were born with the abstinence choice; please do not try to take credit for it. Now we have the safe sex choice. We are truly fortunate to have both options. Working together we can overcome AIDS. P.O. Box 612 Downtown Station Boone, N.C. 28608 Abstinence article ignored reason To the Editor: As an insturctor of mathematics at this university I feel my primary underlying goal in any math course is to try to help my students to im­ prove their ability to think. Such an improvement is much more impor­ tant than any technique or piece of information specific to a particular course. While the struggle for better thinking is difficult and often frustrating, success makes the whole process worthwhile. Consequently, it was with a profound sense of depression that I read the mish-mash in i n i of muddy-headed reasoning William E. O'Flaherty tries to pass off as logic in his article "Read this before wasting all your change" {The Ap­ palachian, January 24). Mr. O'Flaherty uses more than half of this article to justify what amounts to the following proposi­ tion: 'If some results of an action are bad then the action itself is bad." By this reasoning one could argue the forming of the Catholic church was bad since it resulted in, among other things, the crusades and the Spanish inquistion. It is left as an exercise for the student to think of other similar examples. That Mr. O'Flaherty does not really believe the "logic" of the ear­ ly part of his essay is evidenced by his shift of reasoning late in the arti­ cle when he states, "Could it be there are some natural laws in regards to sexual activity?" This is of course 7he crux of what I believe to be Mr. O'Flaherty's real argu­ ment; namely, promiscuous sexual activity is wrong because it is con­ trary to Chrisitian principles. This point is never stated clearly, however, and it is only at the very end of the article that the word "Christian" even appears. An argu­ ment of this type cannot be refuted on the basis of validity since it amounts to saying that promiscuous sexual activity is wrong because it is wrong (i.e. " p implies p"). On the other hand, each of us must decide by what principles, Christian or otherwise, our lives should be led. Sadly, Mr. O'Flaherty's article sheds no light at all on this most impor­ tant question.

This issue can always be counted on to be a controversial sub­ ject. This topic has been a focal point for the media during the first few weeks of George Bush's presidency. While 1 was listening to National Public Radio Monday evening, 1 realized that if this administration follows the wishes of a few power hungry do-gooders, abortion might be illegal within a year—at least in a good number of states. I found that to be an extremely disturbing thought. Not for me—I'm just an in­ sensitive male—but for the millions of women possibly affected by any change in the Supreme Court's 1973 decision on Roe vs. Wade. I recognize the frustration of the author of last Tuesday's well-written editorial in The Appalachian. Why should the fate of so many women rest in the hands of nine people? Notice that 1 didn't say men and women. I would hope that, at the level of the Supreme Court, the genders of the judges does not in fluence their voting. Fifteen years ago it didn't. Why should it now? Because the judges are under pressure from the Bush administration. This is because the Bush administration is under the pressure of a number of well-organized self-appointed "holier-than-thou" busybodies. Who are these busybodies? They are intolerant religious zealots- Freudian nightmares come true. They are men and women so sexually repressed they become twisted, sick individuals who are detrimental not only to themselves, but to society as well. These people need psychiatric counseling, not theme parks and goldgold-plated faucets. These confused sheep have nothing better to do than try to force (kind of like rape) their ideas rn individual's freedom. Why? In an attempt to exercise control over the masses. Control is power. Why do you believe the Bible was written? It was written by men sitting around try­ ing to figure out ways to gain control over people—especially women. "Wives be submissive to your husbands." Who thought that one up? What sexist pig had the audacity to place that in the "book" of God? Book of God. Come on! Get serious! "Dribble" of man would be a better term to describe the Bible. Oh, in­ deed, it does serve some purpose, but not as a how-to-manual! It would be better to worship the Sears Roebuck catalog. If the Supreme Court accedes to these poor misguided souls' demands, the abortion issue will become a con­ cern of individual states. In North Carolina, the buckle of the "Bible belt," there would certainly be a big push in this state to make abortion il­ legal. What is the purpose behind this? What good will it serve? Un­ wanted babies. Right! That's exactly what we need in today's society. We don't have enough of a problem feeding the population as it is? We don't have enough cases of child abuse already? Let's face the abortion issue realistically. The woman is faced with a decision which will affect the rest of her life. Why not keep this decision in her hands? After all, she is the individual who will be affected the most. Thankfully, I've never been in­ volved in making the decision to abort a fetus. It really wouldn't be my deci­ sion, but the decision of my partner. I could only support her decision and attempt to help her in any way possi­ ble. I for one want her to have as many options as possible. Making abortions illegal will just make things more difficult. If a pregnant woman does not want the baby she will find ways to abort the child. This could in­ clude back-alley butcher shops and coat-hanger clinics. I heard about a drug currently be­ ing tested in France which causes spontaneous abortion. The FDA would never allow that drug into this country because it would remove the abortion issue once and for all. Why? It's that power hunger again. Don't you think women have been repressed long enough? Isn't it time for their emancipation? By making abortion il­ legal, the women's rights movement will be set back 50 years. Society's come a long way, baby, let's not stop now. Speak out for prochoice. After all, it's the woman's body, shouldn't it be her choice? �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y.

Tuesday January 31, 19E9 Administrative restructuring proposed at Faculty Senate meeting By SHELLEY KAEHR Appalachian Editor In the Faculty Senate meeting on January 12, Geology Professor Dr. Loren Raymond proposed a study of the complete reorganization of the administrative struc­ ture at ASU. "My motion is to study this and have faculty recommend some changes within the general statutes," Raymond said. Raymond feels four vice chancellors are unnecessary. "We should have a structure in which there are only two vice chancellors," Ray­ mond said. "1 would place all students and faculty under an academic head. We should have one (Vice Chancellor) for academics and one for Business and Development because those areas are related to each other," he added. Raymond feels the division of Student Development has taken a role which is counter-productive to the academic mission of the university. "I'm not criticizing Dr. Mclntire, but that office has become student programs and is not directed in academics, which is why we are all here," Raymond said. "I think academics are the most important thing in a university," he added. Raymond also made a motion to recom­ mend that the Faculty Senate Chair be ap­ pointed to the administrative cabinet. Currently, the administrative cabinet in­ cludes the four vice chancellors, the univer­ sity planner, the director of equal oppor­ tunity programs, the director of personnel services, the athletic director and the univer­ sity attorney. Raymond said these members do not adequately represent the academic community. It seems we live a kind of lie. We operate in a system in which we say we have said ^ rea"y d°n t'" Raymond make recommendations to the chancellor, who has ultimate decision-making power on university policy. According to the Faculty Handbook, acuity Senate and university committees "A lot of faculty members get very angry when they serve on a committee or task Appalachian Photo b, tori Hawkini Professor of Geology Dr. Loren A. Raymond force in which they have no real decision making power," Raymond said. "The faculty spend a lot of time on these committees and are told by an administrator that 'All the work you did has no value because you didn't do what I wanted to do'," he added. Raymond said committees are a waste of faculty time and energy. "I ought to be lecturing and not spending ten or more hours a week on committees," he said. "The faculty ought to take control of the situation by going on strike and demanding power which would not violate the law (in the Faculty Handbook)," he added. Raymond also suggested the senate develop a more effective faculty gover­ nance, review the five-year plan of the university and discuss whether or not departmental chairs should serve on senate. In order to receive a self-evaluation of his performance as a senator, Raymond sent a s'urvey out to professors in the College of Arts and Sciences. "I sent out a questionnaire to all members of the College of Arts and Sciences and got an eight percent return," Raymond said. "I asked several questions related to the motions and of those who responded, there was unanimous consent for numbers one and two," he added. Raymond commented on support he received from other faculty members who share his concerns. "These are not all my motions. The ideas behind them were presented to me in part by my constituents," he said. "There is a real problem and change is needed. The university is playing a game with faculty," he added. Can depression be caused by seasonal changes? By BRADLEY S. WHEELER Appalachian Staff Writer Many people become depressed with the onset of winter, but researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda, Md. have identified a mood disorder called seasonal affective disorder (SAD). energy during the winter months. We certainly see people who are affected by the seasons though we rarely see a pure case of SAD," Director of Counseling and Psychological Services Dr. Don Sanz said. The disorder, like cabin fever, may be caus­ ed by the fact that people feel trapped inside during the cold winter months. He urges "We've seen a couple of people in here who we believe had this disorder, but it's difficult to tell if they have SAD or are depressed because of some loss in their lives. " Director of New River Mental Health Don Suggs More than just a case of the holiday blues, SAD victims actually become clinical­ ly depressed during the winter. SAD suf­ ferers sleep too much, but never feel rested. They lose interest in sex and crave foods high in sugar and carbohydrates, which in­ evitably causes SAD victims to gain weight. The symptoms usually disappear with the approach of spring. Researchers at the NIMH have estimated that as many as 5 million people in the U.S. develop the disorder each winter. Like most depression, SAD affects more women than men, and has been linked to another cyclic disorder known as Pre Menstrual Syndrome (PMS). According to researchers, the cause of SAD may be the sleep-inducing hormone Melatonin, which is produced in the dark. It is also theorized that SAD may be a biological phenomenon traced back to prehistoric times when man would conserve those who have the symptoms to get out, do some things, and develop some activities for the seasons." Sanz recommends that people seek counseling for any depression they may feel. Depression, a normal occurrence that some therapists refer to as "the common cold of mental disorders," can be caused by too much stress. It is important to learn how to relax and to find something con­ structive to do. Doing something positive can counteract feeling bad. Recent studies have indicated that vigorous exercise can help with depression because it increases the level of endorphins which act as natural pain killers and mood elevators. Director of New River Mental Health Don Suggs, said "We've seen a couple of people in here who we believe had this disorder, but it's difficult to tell if they have SAD or are depressed because of some loss in their lives." Psychiatrists are now treating victims of SAD with a device called a Sun-box, an artificial light that masquerades as natural sunlight. Researchers are not exactly sure why two or more hours of exposure to this very bright light works, but the symptoms disappear after only a few days. The hor­ mone Melatonin, which is considered a fac­ tor in causing depression, seems to slow down in production with the light therapy. Sleep deprivation may be another way of treating SAD. Researchers have found that missing a nights sleep or changing sleeping patterns will help alleviate depression in some people. "You've got to have sunlight to live," Joyce Seagle, from the Electric Beach Tann­ ing Salon in Boone, said. "People do feel better when they soak up some rays. I have attended enough seminars to know that doses of sunlight, whether it be the actual More measles diagnosed By JON JIMISON Appalachian News Editor Two additional ASU students were diagnosed with Red Measles Sunday night, which means the university will implement the following procedures immediately. All faculty, staff and students who have not been immunized or have not shown pro­ of of immunization will be banned from campus. According to ASU News Bureau Director Speed Hallman, this includes around 200 faculty and staff and 400 students. Those persons who do not receive their immunizations will not be allowed to return to campus until February 12. However, a vaccination clinic will be held in the infir­ mary today from 1 to 5 p.m. The procedures the university will follow are in compliance with the Appalachian District Health Department, who has the authority to enforce the regulations. If ASU did not comply, the action would be viewed as a criminal misdemeanor with up to two years in jail or an unlimited fine to be decid­ ed by the individual court. In a letter from Health Department Director Carl D. Tuttle to Registrar Brooks McLeod, he wrote "considering the etiology of Red Measles, it is likely that ad­ ditional cases will occur. Therefore, it is ab­ solutely necessary that the University pursue a vigorous policy of enforcement a- those out of compliance." According to Hallman, the faculty's Dean will notify them if they must leave campus, staff members will be notified by their supervisor and students will be notified by their professors. The Registrar's office is compiling sheets with the names of students who have not been immunized. "After February 13, we should be in the clear," Hallman said. sun or a tanning bed, are important to our health." Seagle added, "Everyone has a mental clock that tells them when they need a little sun." However, NIMH Research Psychiatrist, Norman Rosenthal, who has studied SAD extensively, says tanning therapy doesn't work for most SAD victims. He says light seems to affect the body through the eyes and not the skin. Fortunately, the U.S. Weather Service has predicted a very mild winter this year. Suggs has recommended to the victims of SAD he has seen that they establish bright lighting in their homes. He said it may be expensive, but the effect of SAD can disrupt the normal functioning of its victims and the lights should be well worth the cost. He also urged everyone to take advantage of as much sunlight as possible. Black enrollment decreases despite recruitment efforts (CPS)—Despite intense recruiting ef­ forts, there were fewer black men on American campuses in 1986 than there had been in 1976, a new census reported. Some 470,000 black men were enrolled in colleges in 1976, the American Council on Education (ACE) reported January 16, compared to 436,000 in 1986. The ACE's David Merkowitz found the decline "alarming." The enrollment of black women, by con­ trast, stayed about the same (5.2 percent of the total U.S. college student population) as it had been ten years earlier. To bring in more black men, the ACE's report said campuses must develop "com­ prehensive programs designed to recruit, retain and graduate a more culturally and racially diverse population." Most colleges have been trying to do that for years. But spokeswoman for Michigan's Saginaw Valley State University, Marilyn Frahm, said pressures to increase academic standards may have sabotaged those goals. "Secondary school systems are often not as strong in geographic areas high in minori­ ty populations," she said. "That puts those students at a disadvantage when they reach the colllege level. It's a case of conflicting goals: make academic standards more rigorous while making higher education more accessible." And with the cost of tuition increasing steadily in recent years, many black met: may opt instead to join the military or get a job after high school, she added. "We know historically that blacks and other low-income groups are much more reluctant to take out loans," said Deborah J. Carter, co-author of the report with Reginald Wilson. As federal student aid programs have shifted in emphasis from grants to loans, she said, black men are "not willing to take out a $5,000 loan when their family income may be $10,000." Both the ACE report and a separate study issued by the Joint Center for Political Studies maintain another reason for the decline might be attributed to a retreat in civil rights enforcement in higher education under the Reagan administration. The Joint Center study, by University of Chicago professor Gary Orfield, says black enrollment peaked in 1980 at 1.1 million as a result of the government's commitment to enforcing civil rights during the 1960s and 1970s. Under Reagan, Orfield said, staffing for the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights was cut by one fourth and its budget reduced by $2.8 million. The administration was deliberately hostile to the enforcement agency's goals, he said, and "deliberately blocked the flow of information from enforcement agencies that wou.d have demonstrated the true ex­ tent of the retreat on civil rights." �7 HE APPAI ACHIA TUESDA Y, JA SUARY31, .'989 V, So, Ulhat Do Voo Think Hhout Harp Music?

My professor refuses change the grade. Where do I go tned, •set The other day, I was sipk in bed and had already read and re-read my copy of the latest Rolling Stone. There was nothing fun to do, and it was only 10 a.m. So I flipped on the television, and behold, there was Geraldo Rivera, the archduke of provocation and humiliation himself. The ring­ master of a 483-ring circus. The king of "confrontainment." He was inter­ viewing a teenage boy who had killed his entire family with a pitchfork and blended their corpses in a Veg-omatic, then fertilized the lawn with the whole ghastly mess. Geraldo, ever cool, asked him, "Don't you ever wish that you could have had a nor­ mal life with cars and girls and foot­ ball games? Tell us, in gory detail, how both of your grandfathers sodomized you repeatedly in the next door neighbor's wading pool. Leave nothing out. Aren't you ashamed of yourself for letting that happen? Don't you sometimes feel like an abnormal, socially deviant human being?" Way to go, Mr. Tact. Yikers. Although I will admit that Geraldo is physically sexy as hell, he's not one of my favorite people. He's such a snot. Ever since the opening of A1 Capone's vault which revealed nothing but empty space, the man has gone down hill. At first, his show was very, very cool. His was the most sensationalistic tripe on video. Drug 1 can sympathize with your rht. In my studies abroad, I was ited in a like manner once and >rced lo take a B - for a class in lich 1 should have received an A. •vvever, I've since learned that adesmean nothing. But if you're st it is obvious they mean Kthing to you. Do this: Go -ak with the chairman of the artment. If this fails, see the ar of the college, then the Vice lancellor for Academic Affairs >d then Chancellor Thomas. Let JCTOW if they change your grade good luck! i Alice, ' interested in learning more * *-it computers as I am stupid -*i it comes to anything technical are so many courses offered - 'hat I don't know what would ~*8ht for me. I want an overview something that will go slow ^Jgh that 1 might learn 1 What class should I k^1 ud, ^ in Justice "The Big Mouth," Morton Downey, Jr., is another kettle o' fish altogether. His show has to be the most shocking around and has been since its conception. Morton isn't afraid. A lot of his brazenness stems from his show's late-night time slot—drunken college kids cramming for a bio final are far more likely to accept a discussion on "senior citizen prostitutes" than pudgy housewives on their way in from grocery shop­ ping would be. And whereas Geraldo tends to be sneaky and subversive in his humiliation of others, which makes guests and audience angry, Morton is directly, unashamedly insulting. He doesn't CARE. Perhaps that throws people off their guard, because the guests and audience members he rags on, for the most part, don't seem to mind. (Of course, the fact that they're handsomely paid doesn't hurt, either.) It's so refreshing. In regards to the "Satan Worship" show that Geraldo did a while ago, Ozzy Osbourne appeared speaking to charges that heavy metal music is linked to Satanism. Turns out that Ozzy is suing Geraldo because he was told that the show was going to be about heavy metal only, NOT Satanism. Ozzy claims that he was duped by Geraldo in order for him to appear on the show and be the unwilling, unsuspecting victim of Geraldo's subversive ridicule. Oops. So what all this basically boils down to is that while Geraldo has: a) Buns b) a big tabloid following and c) hype, Morton still has: a) balls. So zip it. True Grit Admittedly, there are some of us who have that elusive quality known as "True Grit" and some of us who don't. It's the thing inside you that makes you YOU, and it ain't your appendix, babe. It's the character you possess, the gutsiness, the gusto, the individuality. It's wit, verve, nerve, unique style. It's the flaunting of con­ viction and getting away with it. Very few have it. 1 don't. But I fake it. All that is true grit. Most college freshmen think they have it. There are a lot of famous folks who possess it...that's why they're famous. My top ten list of gritty celebrities is as follows: 1. Billie Jean King 2. G. Gordon Liddy 3. Fergie ASU fiction spotlight Rapture eclipsed by pizza lust By ANGlf CHESNLT ar Upset kingpins, the Tawana Brawley advisors, autoerotic asphyxia victim's families, etc., etc. Whatever you wanted to see that wasn't in The Weekly World News or on HBO LateNight, Geraldo had. But the bottom dropped out on him after the young Nazi skinhead show, when his nose was broken in a free-for-all melee. Geraldo went straight. He calmed down. His shows now revolve around "safe" topics such as the lives of Hollywood paparazzi. Appalachian 'Wuft'VtrihHC Nelson Peters ran up the six flights of dark grey cement steps. He was ex­ cited. No, he was more than excited. He was agitated, aggravated, and very much out of breath. "The world is coming to an end!" he jabbered to himself. "Who woulda thought! Jesus Christ!" He continued puffing up the stairs. "You mustn't cuss Nelson," he scold­ ed. "The world is ending tomorrow and here you are cussing." No sooner was this thought formed when he tripped up the steps. "Shit! Shit, shit, shit," he yelled, clutching his bony shin. "Oh, Lord," he gasped, reaching his apartment door. "Dottie. Poor, poor little Dottie. She'll be out of her mind with worry. The world is ending tomorrow and she's all by herself." He took a moment to catch his breath. Gathering up his courage, he burst through the door. "Don't panic!" he commanded. "Whatever you do, just don't panic." Whatever Nelson expected to see was not what he saw. Dottie had to be in shock, or in denial or something! Anything that would explain her perfect composure. She was lounging on the sofa with her chubby little legs propped up on xnerea Satin tjishey Land throw pillows. She was drinking flat diet coke and watching a Richard Sim­ mons work-out tape. "You're late Nelson," she twanged through her nose. "You're late, but that's no cause for panic." She pro­ ceeded to blow a huge bubble with her gum. "Dottie! Darling, darling Dottie," Nelson implored. "Haven't you heard about 'Rapture?' " "Nelson," Dottie whined, "you don't want sex now, do you?" By this time Nelson was beside himself. He ran over to her and hoisted her up off the couch. "Dottie, I'm not talking about.. .sex," he cried, stammering over the s-word. "I'm talking about the world ending. You know, stopping, coming to a hault, ceasing to exist, finished, done for, caput." His voice had crescendoed to a squeaky little screech. Dottie stared up at him with heavily painted, bored eyes. "Rapture?" she asked. "That's what they call the end­ ing of the world?" "Uh-huh," Nelson snivelled, now exhausted from his outburst. "Doesn't seem very rapturous to me," Dottie complained as she teetered into the kitchen on her spiked heels. "I've been on this starvation diet for two whole weeks, and going through grueling exercises to boot. And what for? So I could twist my lit­ tle tail around in a bikini, that's what for, and now—" Nelson cut into her rambling. "Dot, do you realize what you are saying? You're talking about fat!" "Nelson," she said, completely ig­ noring him, "have you seen the Oreoes?" Nelson was again working himself up into a frenzy. He began preaching, and waving his arms as he paced the apartment. "1 have been trying to make you understand that life as we know it is going to end at 10:55 tomorrow morning. We should be talking, searching our souls, prepar­ ing to meet our maker!" he screamed, delivering the last of his message from the top of the vinyl sofa. "I couldn't find the Oreoes," she whined, gathering up her handbag, "so I'm going out for pizza. I don't see any reason to stick to my diet now that the world is just about done for." She blew him a vague kiss that landed somewhere in his general direction. "I'll be home soon, dear." Nelson stared after her with his mouth hanging open. "I don't believe it," he said, shaking his head from side to side. "The world is ending in twenty-six hours, forty-two minutes, and she wants pizza!"

BALDWIN Appalachian Columnist "Mooooo-naaaaa! Moooooonaaaaa Luuuuuuurreeeee!" she bellowed from the front porch. "Hit's so good ta see ya." She stretched out her huge, red plaidcovered arms to hug Mona. Jack realized the lidless milk jug she was clutching was half full of tobacco spit. When she was through crushing Mona, she wailed, "Moooonaaaaa, whur's yer manners? Aren'tcha gunna interduce yer friend?" "Jack, this is my mother, Wilma." Wilma extended her beefy hand and Jack shook it, trying not to look at her green teeth and the rivulet of brown spit running down the side of her face. Wilma motioned for them to sit on the vast overstuffed sofa on the porch. She flopped in the matching chair. Mona and Wilma quickly got all involved in a heavy conversation about "that slutty Henderson girl," and Jack quickly got bored. Jack felt like the king of a junkyard as he looked out over the accumulation of dead cars in the yard. There were Impalas, Elektras, Gran Torinos and Mavericks. They all were rusted and broken. Some had flat tires. Some had no tires. Grass grew between the crushed cans and papers scattered among the cars. The carport leaning against the house was somewhat less of a disaster. It was full of disabled riding lawn mowers, old-fashioned washing machines and other broken tools and appliances. Half-eaten sandwiches on paper plates sat on top of almost every one of the machines. In the mid­ dle of this carefully orchestrated chaos, Mr. Grimes sat snoring in his barber's chair. He held a can of Budweiser in one hand and a cigarette in the other. The front of his greying white T-shirt was covered with ashes and crumbs. Jack was about to decide that run­ ning away would be the only rational response to the situation when Wilma belted out, "Wilbur, wake yer fat ass up! Git over here! Whur's yer man­ ners?" From where Jack was sitting it sounded as if Wilbur either farted or belched as he roused himself. Soon he ambled over to the porch. "We's been a-waitin' on ya, Wilbur. Are guest is a-wanfin' his dinner. He's a-gunna think that Mona's family is a bunch of heatherns." That's exactly what Jack thought, but before he could say anything, Wilbur dragged him into the house. A thick layer of smoke hung from the ceiling down to about mouth level. There were family pictures on the wall, but there was no furniture. The walls were grey-brown from all the smoke. "We don't use this here room none," said Wilma. Then Jack was forced into the kitchen, where there was a round aluminum table. He was placed in one of the matching chairs, the aluminum kind, collapsible with nylon seats. Jack's parents used to take chairs like those to ball games. "Hope you like these cheers," said Wilbur. "We like 'em a lot. They keeps yer ass from sweatin'." Jack saw Wilma step through a doorless doorway and open the door to a dishwasher. She teiurned with styrofoam cups, paper plates and bread. "You wash paper plates?" Jack asked cautiously. Wilma guffawed. "Lawsy no. Ya thank I'd keep a dishwasher in mah livin' room? What kind of house do you think I run? Mah son got me that thar dishwasher thang fer mother's day near 'leven years ago, but it never was nary a bit of use ta me. 1 never did take to them thar new fangled thangs. It's a right handy thang fer keepin' yer bread and plates in, though." Jack nodded weakly as Wilma grubbed around in the refrigerator and tossed things in the direction of the table, where Mona and Wilbur nonchalantly caught them and arranged them on the table. "We've got Valleydale AND Oscar- < Mayer bologna and green and orange Kool-Aid. Thar's some potata chips in that thar oven, honey." Mona got up and returned with both rippled and barbequed potato chips. "Hit don't work neither," explained Wilma. "I remembered to buy mayonnaise fer yer chips, thar, Wilbur." Jack ate his bologna sandwich and drank his green Kool-Aid while he looked around the kitchen, which, as nearly as he could determine, was decorated in the style of Early Tacky. There were nick-nacks sitting on everything, but there was not a single pot, dish or piece of flatware in the place. Most of the kitchen cabinets were open, and he could see that they were filled with books. He was momentarily impressed when he saw a row of encyclopedias, but on closer observation, he realized that they were all the letter A. Jack marveled at Wilma's ability to chew tobacco, eat and smoke simultaneously. After they finished eating, Mona led Jack into the living room. He should have been prepared for the sight that greeted him, but he was shocked. There was more lawn fur­ niture and a porch swing, and, strangest of all, a blue toilet, all clustered around a hole in the floor. The toilet ^must have embarrassed even Mona. "It's my brother Dan­ ny's," she explained pointing. "He just never could get used to sitting on anything else. He married Loretta Jo last year and they moved to South Dakota, but Mama can't bear to get rid of it. At least they did move the one that was in the kitchen." Jack nodded faintly, looking over to the corner of the room only to spot a huge electric bug zapper. Near the bug zapper was a small TV, perched on top of a half-dozen crates of Quaker State motor oil. Piled along that entire wall, to a height even with the top of the crates were stacks and stacks of newspapers. "One of my brothers loves trees," Mona explained. Jack was about to ask about the hole in the floor when Wilbur clapped him on the back and said, "It's the best idea I've ever had. Wilma hates to empty ashtrays and we all love ta smoke, so I just cut that hole in the floor and give it to her fer her birth­ day last November. She sez it's the best birthday present she's ever got. 1 like it too." He spit into the hole as if to demonstrate its usefulness. Jack looked around at their three grinning, senseless faces and thought briefly about shoving them all into the hole, setting the house on fire, and running away, having done a great deed for mankind. Wilma cackled and said, "It's a great place, ain't hit? Hit's took us nigh on twenty five years to git hit thisa way. We're workin' hard to keep hit the way we want it." Jack couldn't bring himself to say anything, and yet he didn't hate himself enough to stay any longer, so he suddenly remembered an urgent appointment across town for which he was already fifteen minutes late. �4 THE A PPA EACH IA /V, TUESDA Y.

PINT0S U' CHEESE �SPORTS THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 19X9 SJ Aubrey Hoover J I ASU loses to thundering herd By ROGER WATSON Assistant Sports Editor Coach V may fall Humpty Dumpty wasn't the first ^.ine to take a great fall and he *Cre won't be the last. But North -arolina State coach Jim Valvano is the verge of taking a fall that ay cost him more than his shoe ntract with Nike. By now, everybody's heard the legations of widespread corruption roughout the Wolfpack basketball rogram made in a forthcoming ok by Peter Colenbock titled Pernal Fouls. The book's main urce is John Simonds, a former thletic trainer at State who is now t Florida State. The allegations range from imroper payouts to players to changg players' grades and covering up 'positive" drug test results. The cok also will accuse former olfpack star Charles Shackleford f intentionally "loafing" during Lie 1987 NCAA Tournament loss to orida. Shackleford, now with the ew Jersey Nets, supposedly did is to avoid any future drug esling. North Carolina State officials, in­ kling Valvano, immediately the allegations and were uick to take the offensive, .totaling legal actions against the ulhor and publisher if the accusaions proved to be false. Valvano ben took it upon himself to perrnally invite the NCAA in­ stigators to Raleigh. This was a cry smart move from the "Master CTommunicator II," it seemed. But it backfired. The NCAA took V"alvano up on his invitation and a re now in Raleigh trying to univer any wrongdoing. Anybody bo knows the least bit about colge athletics also knows if the CAA tries hard enough, they can i rd illegalities in almost any big time college basketball program.

The Appalachian State Moun­ taineers men's basketball team lost another important Southern Con­ ference game Saturday in Varsity Gym. The opponent this time was the Marshall Thundering Herd. Ap­ palachian State started out strong before the large home crowd. The Apps sprinted out to a doubledigit lead midway through the first half with help from two threepointers by Rodney Peel in the first five minutes. The Mountaineers maintained a good inside attack through the half as Sam Gibson threaded the Herd's man-to-man defense for a total of 22 points for the game. That was the high for the Mountaineers. Marshall had a run late in the first half to cut the lead to five points with an Andre Cunn­ ingham jumper. Marshall continued its momentum into the start of the second half. The Herd scored four quick points to cut the lead to 36-35. Freshman John Taft of Marshall ignited a rally with 14 and a half minutes left that became an 11-2 run and gave Marshall a 55-49 lead. During the run by Marshall, the Apps had two turnovers and missed six shots. The football team had the cups clapping and the band did the "clap, clap, wheeee" cheer every time Mar­ shall had the ball but nothing worked. The run did the Mountaineers in. The closest they could come was 70 63 on another three-pointer by Rodney Peel with just over four minutes left. The Thundering Herd hit 21-26 of their free throws and held on to beat the Mountaineers for the twelfth straight time 83-76. Marshall hit 52 percent of their shots compared to 49 percent for the Apps, and out-rebounded Appala­ chian State 38-28. Sam Gibson was the leader in rebounds with 13. Freshman sensation John Taft hit seven of nine shots for a game-high 25 points. The Marshall guard leads the Southern Conference with 25.6 points a game. The loss dropped the Mountaineers to a five-way tie for second with Mar­ Wrestlers win at Campbell By DAVID LAWRENCE Appalachian Slaff Wriler Thanks to an outstanding team effort, the Appalachian State wres­ tling team won first place at the Campbell Duals, with wins over Pem­ broke State and Campbell University. "I was very pleased. We wrestled together as a team better and got good performances from everyone," head wrestling coach Paul Mance said. In the first match against Pem­ broke, Antonio Calloway pinned his man to win the 118 lb. class, as ASU jumped out on top. Pembroke then won the next three weight classes, but the Mountaineers reeled off six straight wins to seal the match. Included in those wins was a pin by senior Chris Zwilling. The final score was ASU 30, Pembroke State 10. In the second match against Camp­ bell, ASU was in total control. The Mountaineers won all but one weight class, as they cruised by the Camels 30-3. This win insured that the first place trophy was on its way to Boone. Coach Mance praised Calloway, saying he wrestled extremely well, adding that the two men he wrestled against were the top wrestlers on their respective teams. Coach Mance also had high praise for junior Rock Burch. "Rock wres­ tled real well and he's doing much better. He usually comes on strong at the end and should be another con­ ference contender, just as he was last year," he said. Another Mountaineer doing a good job was senior Kevin LaPlante. Although he lost two matches, he did an excellent job filling in at the 142 lb. weight class. Freshman Adrian Hines had another good day, winning both his matches by major decisions. This was a good win to get the Mountaineers going, as they head into the conference and on to the con­ ference tournament. "We know it's going to be an uphill battle, but we're confident we're in the right position at this time," Mance said. On February 2, the Mountaineers will host nationally ranked TennesseeChattanooga in a very important con­ ference match. So find time to come out and support the Mountaineer wrestling team. The box scores for the Campbell Duals are as follows: ASU 30, Campbell 3—January 21 at Buies Creek, N.C. 118—Antonio Calloway (AS) d. Paul Renoud (C), 12-4 126—Jevon Morris (AS) d.

Last week, the Lady Apps posted a 1-1 record, but fell into a first-place tie with the Lady Herd of Marshall. Last Tuesday night, the Lady Mountaineers rekindled the longest series in their history against Western Carolina's Lady Cats. The play was sloppy, but the Lady Apps eventually put it all together and won 84-62. The Lady Apps started fast out of the gate and jumped to a 9-0 lead. Defense and a good inside game from Beth Laney and Shannon Thomas fired ASU early. Western refused to roll over and fought back to trail only 17-16 with 9:57 left in the half. fho accusa- »ven 1 H i d p e r c e n t true.

The Mountaineers play at home again on February 11 when they take on FuiTnan. Gibson cut rently leads the team in scoring and rebounding. !1 Mountaineer Mania Last week, The Mountaineer Mania Trivia Quiz asked the question: Who were the last two teams to finish the regular college basketball season and tournament play undefeated? You had to get the two teams and the year. The answer is the National Cham­ pions of 1973 the UCLA Bruins and the N.C. State Wolfpack, who were on probation that year and didn't get to participate in tournament play. The Wolfpack came off probation in 1974 to defeat UCLA's streak of NCAA titles. Congratulations to all the people who answered correctly. Also thanks to Mountaineer Mania for providing a ten dollar gift certificate to the win ner. The first winner of the Moun taineer Mania Trivia Question waThomas Cornwell, Good job, Thomas; enjoy your gift certificate from Mountaineer Mania. Look for another chance to win in Thursday's edition of The Appalachian. Marshall beats women's team Because the NCAA investigators 10n reacjy |n Raleigh the allega­ tbe book become ta'u a y trivial. Why? Simply ann °nCe tbere> nobody knows nese investigators will find, legations made in the book c-5ti e ent'rely false but the inrW '°n,,nay- ironically, dig up h t0 bury C°ach V and ns 05 m^°^ made' shall, The Citadel, Furman, and East Tennessee State. They have a record of 3-3 in the Southern Conference and an overall record of 13-4. The loss was the first home loss all season for Ap­ palachian State. Marshall head coach Rich Huckabay said his second half strategy worked. "In the second half I told the team to make four passes before they shot. We were coming down and dribbling too much in the first half and taking a quick shot. I told them, 'let's see if we can hold the ball for four or five passes,' also we were able to hit some tough shots." Tom Apke praised Marshall's ability to shred the ASU defense. "Defense has been our most consistent thing that we've been able to do this season. But they just went through our defense with penetration, and they hit the outside shot when we were able to stop the penetration," Apke said. The Mountaineers' next game is against Davidson and then another conference game against a Western Carolina team they have already beaten. Appalachian Photo by lori Hawkins Shannon Thomas scores two points against UT-C. Thomas scored four points and had nine rebounds in a losing effort on Saturday against Marshall. Thomas leads the Lady Mountaineers in block shots this season. The loss dropped the Lady Apps to 4-1 in the conference and 10-7 overall. Thomas is a 5-10 Freshman from High Point, N.C. She sat out last season due to a knee injury. Thomas is averaging 7.6 points per game and 6.6 rebounds per game which leads the team. The Lady Mountaineers are trying for their third consecutive conference championship under head coach Linda Robinson. Next for the Lady Mountaineers are the Paladins of Furman. The Lady Mountaineers were out of sorts for a while, but senior leader­ ship ignited a fire under the whole team. With 4:47 remaining in the first half, senior Debbie Swicegood con­ nected on a three-point shot to force WCU to call a time out and put the Lady Apps ahead 31-23. Down only 39-32 at the half, the Lady Cats found themselves out­ matched and outplayed the entire se­ cond half. ASU, with 10:51 left in the game, went on an 11-0 run to put the contest out of reach. The depth of the Lady Moun­ taineers was apparent during the game as every player for ASU saw quality playing time on the floor. "A lot of our players got some im­ portant minutes tonight. You never know what is going to happen. We needed before the Marshall game to get our kids some minutes," Head Coach Linda Robinson said after the game. "I was a little afraid tonight. The game was sandwiched between Chat­ tanooga and Marshall. This is always a big game for Western and I had to make our kids realize they had to play well to win. "Joanie Brackett played an ex­ cellent game. Tonight, she got herself open for her shot and ran a good of­ fense," Robinson added. Brackett finished the game with 10 points and 2 assists. 18-25 clip. Marshall's Jenny Leavitt scored a game-high 28 points in only 24 minutes of action while Sharon Deal blocked 6 shots in 20 minutes. ASU was led by Glenda Cunn ingham, who scored 19 and hauled in 13 rebounds. Debbie Swicegood con tinued her hot shooting, pouring it 19. "We played a team that was "I was a little afraid tonight. The game was sandwiched between Chattanooga and Mar­ shall. This is always a big game for Western and I had to make our kids realize they had to play well to win." Head coach Linda Robinson "Western did a nice job boxing us off the boards. In the second half, Shannon Thomas and Glenda Cunn­ ingham went strong to the boards for us. They played well together," Robinson said. Appalachian was led by Beth Laney's 19 points and Cunningham's 8 rebounds. This week's Southern Conference Player of the Week, ASU's Kim Johnson, scored 13 to re­ main the only player to score in dou­ ble figures every game this season. Robinson put the game in a nut­ shell. "It wasn't pretty, but it's a Saturday at Marshall, the Lady Apps lost for the first time in con­ ference play 79-72. Leading 40-31 at the half, the Lady Mountaineers fell victim to poor shooting and a vicious Lady Herd of­ fense that shot 72 percent from the floor. ASU hit on only 12 of 39 shots from the floor in the second half while Marshall lit the scoreboard at an hungrier than the Mountaineers. They really wanted the victory," Robinson said. "They really took us out of our half-court offense. They played a nice match-up zone. We never got into a full offense; we got stagnant and could not score," Robinson said. "Kristi Huff (Marshall's shooting guard) was the nail in the coffin. She got open off of picks and hit the shot. "We passed the ball around the perimeter too much. Glenda (Cunn ingham) played a great game fot us. We have to get the ball into our post players," Robinson said. The lack of a credible inside game was evidenced by the number of free throws shot during the game. The Lady Mountaineers shot only 14 while Marhsall shot 25. ASU returns home on Wednesday to take on a tough Furman squad. The Lady Apps have defeated Fur man once this year, but the Paladins ate primed and looking to catch a staggering ASU team. �6 r H E A P P A L A C H I A N , T U E S D A Y. J A N U A R Y 3 1 , 1 9 8 9 Linda Robinson leads the Lady Anns Bv PAUL TARROI f By CARROLL Appalachian Slaff Writer Success, dedication, and hard work are only three of the fine attributes that Linda Robinson posesses. As Head Coach of the Appalachian State Women's basketball team, Robinson has guided the Lady Mountaineers to two consecutive Southern Conference championships, and two years ago, a berth in the Women's National In­ vitational Tournament. Robinson started her collegiate basketball career at Mars Hill College under Head Coach Dr. Barbara Hollingsworth. As a player, Robinson averaged 18.3 points per game and was the first woman named to the Greensboro Daily News All-State Basketball Team all four years. The crowning achievements of her playing career were having her jersey retired, graduating cum laude with a bachelor of science degree in Physical Educa­ tion, and last year being inducted into the Mars Hill Athletic Hall of Fame. Throughout her career, Robinson's family always played a key role in her success. "I've always had an outgoing, very supportive family. My fami­ ly are workaholics. They taught me that whatever you want to do, just do it. If you want something, work at it," Robinson said. After serving under Dr. Judy Clarke as a graduate assistant at ASU and earning a master's degree, Robin­ son was hired by Pembroke State as Head Coach. At Pembroke State, Robinson's teams won 101 games while having only 36 losses. At the tender age of 21, Robinson guided the Lady Braves to consistent national rankings of fifth in 1984 and twelfth in 1983 and was named Carolinas Conference Coach-of-the-Year in 1982. "Pembroke State was my first job as head coach. I'm a mountain person — Coach Continued from Page 5 what the fans in Durham will have in store for the Wolfpack when they visit Cameron Indoor Stadium. Although I'm sure they will have some sophisticated cheer ready to use, the "Cameron Crazies" should simply wave and say "goodbye" to the likeable Coach V. The Italian's time has come and gone and now it's time for him to join Kareem Abdul-Jabber on a farewell tour. You should have gone to UCLA Jimmy! and Pembroke State is quite far from home," Robinson said. 'As a coach, I was blessed by good athletes. At Pembroke, I was able to recruit heavily in Fayetteville. We were able to develop four or five first team Ail-Americans and eventually achieve national recognition," Robin­ son said. Robinson. With these three players at the core, Robinson turned the Lady Mountaineers into champions. We managed to get the program off on the right foot. Karen provided the maturity while Jane and Val gave us talented youth. When I got here the old blood was tired of losing, and the young players had never lost," Robinson said. This year, the Lady Apps seemed lost early, but under Robinson's leadership, ASU has turned the season around and now leads the Southern Conference with a 4-0 record. Renee's Beauty Shoppe Coach Linda Robinson In 1984, the head job at ASU and Robinson came home to take over a struggling Lady Mountaineer pro­ gram. "I received a couple of calls from ASU, and fnally Dr. Judy Clarke called and offered me the job. It was a tough decision to make. I had to really want the job. I realized that a struggling program was a great oppor­ tunity, but it could also have been a graveyard for a young coach," Robinson said. In her first year at Appalachian, Robinson recruited Val Whiteside and Jane Dalton, and inherited Karen WORKING STUDENTS: When you fill out your Form W-4 or W-4A, "Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate," remember: If you can be claimed on your parent's or another person's tax return, you generally cannot be exempt from income tax withholding.

If we can do that, I think we will be the team of the 80's," Robin­ son said.

Faculty Senate and various university unittees are merely advisors to the administration, and their input suggestions are often completely ignored. VWhy should anyone waste their time and energy in such futility? The linistration must soon realize that the faculty are a large part of the itution and should have a voice in decisions. VVitheach passing year, students come and go, but faculty members a permanent part of the school. Perhaps the faculty should go on Ice, as Raymond suggests, in order to force the administration to their importance. Raymond also suggests the chair of the Faculty Senate be appointed the administrative cabinet. It is unbelievable that a faculty member not already on the cabinet. Many of the positions that serve currently a.-ve no reason to be there. ..my is the Athletic Director on the cabinet? Are athletically rxfated monies more important to the school than its own faculty? Mhy is the University Attorney on the cabinet? Could he not be con­ certed and invited as a special guest when legal matters arise? The same irpe of questions could be asked about the Director of Equal rtunity Programs and the Director of Personnel Services who also eon the cabinet. Something is definitely wrong with this structure when the faculty, h o represent an enormous percentage of the academic community, e outnumbered by a football fan, a lawyer and two employment fleers. A.t any school, faculty members are an invaluable resource. They ould be nurtured and allowed to grow to their fullest potential. Or. Raymond should be applauded for raising these questions, havS the courage to discuss issues in their true light and representing *-»lty members who are too afraid to speak their minds. Hopefully, other faculty members will take a stand and fight against restrictive administrative policies. Faculty members who are appy can change things if they are willing to speak out. Of course, , s concept may cause many faculty members to fear a cut in salary. hnically, however, within the confines of the law, such action can1 legally occur, and therefore, this should not prevent action from taken. Here is no reason to work in a place in which one is dissatisfied, Facially when change can be made. Good luck, faculty! Boy, I love September!

My cartoon-watching has dropped a bit compared to when I was younger (like in high school), but almost everything the last few seasons has been a downer. In all truth, some have been just plain terrible. They're not funny— jokes have been replaced by snappy, smart alecky one liners. The characters are cute—even the evil ones. Sure, the whole white hat/black hat dilemma has been raging since the first 'toon was made, but the good guys are so innocent that anything else other than their ignorance is purely unimaginable. Snidely Whiplash would heave if he had to conform to the ways of the "new baddies." While cartoons are in their present crisis of cuteness, there are some that need to have good tidings sent to them. Here are some lists filled with the best, worst, and good to think about situations from the start of 'toons on the tube. All the research has been meticulously compiled by the O'Neal Foun­ dation for Blatant Opinion and was held under tight security by Chemical Bank of New York right next to the secret recipe for Bojangle's biscuits.

AIRLINES adSIeiM'« feCKYPtiN. Nsws-Nea By BILLY LOWE Appalachian Columnist Never before have the shortcom­ ings of the American political process been as blatantly revealed as in the 1988 Presidential election. The excessive and wasteful festivities sur­ rounding the inauguration of George Bush as the 41st President of the United States only served as a fitting conclusion to this dark chapter in American history. Twenty-five million dollars was spent as the nation's elite flocked to Washington, D.C. to celebrate the beginning of President Bush's reign. Within five miles of all the excess, the citizens of the nation's capital's poverty stricken and crime-ridden slums waited patiently; once again uninvited to par­ take in the wealth and greed of what is often referred to as the "American Dream." When confronted concern­ ing the possibility of a slight touch of hypocrisy in such an elaborate inauguration, Bush's response left lit­ tle doubt that the America he governs is very different from the country the majority of his subjects inhabit: "I have no apologies for the way we're doing it, because the country deserves a celebration every four years." Bush's celebrations as well as his politics are designed to cater to the rich, leaving the average citizen isolated and void of a true voice in the nation's affairs. The fact that Bush, despite numerous displays of ignorance and ineptitude throughout the campaign, could somehow manage to win the election suggests something drastical­ ly wrong with the judgement of the voters and with the system itself. Bush's verbal blunders, such as refer­ ring to September 7th as "Pearl Har­ bor Day" and his bold declaration of his "anti-racism, anti-bigotry, and anti-semitism" policies should have warned voters of his weaknesses as a leader. The average citizen would be ridiculed by his friends and neighbors for making suph ridiculous com­ ments, but Bush somehow got away with it. Is this man the best America has to offer? In the 1870's, Henry Adams' con­ tempt for President U.S. Grant caused him to pose the same question. Civil War hero Grant's neanderthal­ like appearance and garbled speech not only destroyed Adams' faith in the country's political system; it also led him to renounce his faith in the theory of evolution, for the quality of leadership had declined during the brief history of the United States. The species appeared to be regressing rather than progressing. The parallels to Bush and the present political situation are obvious. Adams was correct in recognizing that those who supposedly run the system are no more in control of it than those who are governed by it. As all ideologies do, Democracy has fallen short of the standards it originally set for itself. The system is running out of control, and it is corrupting the leaders as well as their subjects. The first step towards establishing a humanitarian society must be an acknowledgement that the govern­ ment fails to fulfill the needs of the governed because it has never really inrended to do so. Democracy and capitalism have become inter­ changeable in America, and such .economic ideologies fail to recognize that individuals can at once be equal but have different needs. The govern­ ment and its wealthy patrons have "no apologies" for spending 25 million dollars on an inauguration celebration, yet these same people condemn social programs as wasteful and are determined to reduce funding to such programs. And they are cor­ rect in citing the wasteful practices of these poorly regulated programs, but rather than pushing for reforms, the rich have chosen to ignore the oppressed and attribute their own suc­ cesses to Social Darwinism. The politicians feel free to break their promises to the poor, but they know they must honor their word to the rich, for it is corporate money which placed them in office, and corporate influence can just as easily insure the end of their political careers should they step out of line. This holds true for both Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals. In the same way that the country's judicial system is no longer based on one's guilt or innocence but rather one's ability to purchase the services of a quality lawyer, political influence is available only to those who can afford to purchase the services of a good politician. People who enter politics with the admirable intention of serving the citizens they represent are corrupted by a system which sacrifices values and replaces them See BUSH Page 8~ A 1 V �Tin U'PAI A till A V.

I waited to see how everybody else did their column and then copied it. Let's see Leatha started out telling about herself. 1 guess I'll tell a little about myself. I am a fifth year senior. (I am a senior, and I have been at ASU for five years, not five years as a senior.) Actually, I have been on the campus since 1980, but most of that was with a summer camp. My friends will tell you that I am not happy unless I am complaining. (True, I am always yel­ ling about something, but I hope peo­ ple will take the time to think about what I am complaining about and do something to change my mind or the problem.) I liked Quentin Compson! And with this, let me climb upon my soapbox and begin my tirade. In my five-plus years here, I have seen a whole bunch of changes. Some of them good, some so-so and the rest were made by the administration. I must admit that when the administra­ tion first decided to bring culture to this little place, I was stunned. Culture to me means the ballet with Baryshnikov, music by Bach, theatre . . Q. DV Shakespeare, r»o, i by Shflkpcnparp painting and sculpture by Leonardo da Vinci. The culture we got was from some crazy person with a blowtorch. But in time I started to like certain pieces—mainly "RIBBONS-3," the big wavy looking piece of rusted iron in front of the library. But leave it to the administration to fix something that was not broken. Somebody spirited "RIBBONS-3" away and put in its place something they call "art." I mean, the piece that is there now might qualify for art if the administration would stand it up and give everybody a free hit of acid. But no, it is left to lie on the ground and look like something that might have come out of what we old-timers call the B.I. The B.I. (Bavarian Inn or Bad In­ digestion, whichever one you wanted to call it) was a great place. It was nice and dark; you couldn't tell what you were eating, so you ate it. Nobody really cared what you looked like; they couldn't see you either. My friends and I went there to catch up on gossip—you know, the kind of things you don't want anybody else in your dorm to hear about. You could find a seat at a table by yourself.

I Bush Continued from Page 7 with a series of personal checks and criminal balances. To insure the passage of a bill, a hypothetical representative strongly supports, he must often pledge his support to other proposals he knows are not in the voter's best interest. This may initially bother the young politician, but eventually his sense of morality and responsibility will break down and he will come to accept this atrocity as just another part of the great system we call American Democracy. With the corrupt nature of the government now exposed, it is time to suggest how individuals can work outside the government to fulfill the needs of their neighbors which the government neglects. Before any wide-spread attempt at social reform can be proposed, the individuals involved must be certain of their own reformation. The apparent social consciousness among young people in the 1960's quickly died out because of this lack of individual reform. With the threat of the Vietnam war reaching these peo­ ple on a very personal level, the peace movement was naturally very appeal­ ing. But few possessed the moral vir­ tue that would be required of every citizen for the anarchic and Utopian society they proposed to create. The youth of today certainly fall short of these high standards as well. Beyond abstractions such as "Give Peace a Chance," the major social contributions of the flower-power generation were the more lenient attitudes towards the drug use and a loosening of sexual morals. Obvious­ ly, the reform must begin within each individual's mind. However, there is much external work to be done while striving towards this internal state of purity. The hungry and the homeless of the country and the world are still in need, and the process of the individual reform need not distract from humanitarian activities. Rather than complain about the shortcom­ ings of the government's social pro­ grams, those who are troubled by the suffering around them can use their time and their money to aid those whom the government has neglected. The government serves the country rather than the people, for the coun­ try has become an economic machine in which individual needs are not con­ sidered any more. The government has lost touch with humanity and can therefore be of no help to those that are governed by it. Only people can help people, and its about time we started.

"It should, but it just makes our loss greater. The paperback section, for example, does not make a profit," Triplett said. To prevent concealment of mer­ chandise, other universities require students to leave belongings near store entrances. For example, book bags and large purses are often not permitted in university bookstores.

"We're not out there telling them they can't carry bookbags into the store, but we're thinking about it," he added.

SGA sets 89 election schedule By JENEI.LE AU1RY Assistant News Kdilor SGA Senate approved a schedule for the 1989-90 Presidential and VicePresidential elections Tuesday night. The motion, which was introduced to Senate on January 17, establishes February 13 and 14 from 12 noon-5 p.m. as nomination days. Nomina­ tions will be accepted in Room 21A Workman Hall on those days. On February 16, complete staff listings are due in Room 21A before 1 p.m. The campaign period begins February 19 at noon and will close at 9 p.m. on March 1. On February 28 and March 1 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., off-campus voting will take place in the Student Union and in Walker Hall. On-campus voting will take place in the residence halls March 1 from 5-9 p.m. In the event a runoff election is necessary, the campaign period will begin March 12 at 1 p.m. and end March 15 at 9 p.m. On March 14 and 15 troin 9 a.m.-4 p.m., off-campus voting will take place in the Student Union and in Walker Hall. Also on March 15 from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. oncampus voting will take place in the residence halls. This schedule differs from previous years since there will be two days allowed for nominations instead of one. "This would give a better oppor­ tunity for anybody who wants to nominate themselves ample time to do so. Last year there was only about four hours to nominate someone. We wanted to give students at least twice that time," SGA President Gary Greene said. Also discussed at the meeting were the proposed changes in the SGA con­ stitution. 1 he most heavily debated proposal was a change in Senate tepiesentation. I he constitutional committee presented an amendment stating, "The student Senate shall be comprised of one senator representing residence halls with population capacity below 275, two senators lepiesenling residence halls with population capacity above 275. Using this ratio there shall be 28 on campus Senate seats. "Additionally, an equally propor­ tional number of senators shall be elected from off campus. I lie offcampus vacancies shall be filled from four geographic legions. Each region will have seven senators. Mountaineer Apartments shall have a senator elect­ ed from an ill-house election. I his senator shall be an off-campus senator." According to SGA Vice-President I rank "Moose" C'allis, this would lower the number of representatives from 100, as it would be if the pro posal is not passed, to 60. "It we don't change it (the number of senators), there would be too many senators.. . It would be impossible to run the meeting," Gallis said. I lie motion was sent back to coin miltee after considerable debute. Oh no! What next? Universities across the nation increase in what may indicate a trend Editor's Note: While tuition may not increase in North Carolina, this article may indicate a national trend.

All students not im*~*nRed l y now will be excluded from classes until at least Friday. or (CPS)—While nothing is official yet, a look at the budgets now being considered by state legislatures, regents and trustees around the coun­ try suggests that the price of college will be significantly higher next year. Oregon Gov. Neil Goldschmidt, for example, submitted a budget January 4 to his state legislature that, if pass­ ed, would translate into a five percent hike for most state students and a 10 percent hike for students at the University of Oregon and Oregon State University. "A six to eight percent increase is as good a guess as any" f#f students nationwide, said Art Hauptman, an educational consultant for the American Council on Education, after scanning such early indicators. Tuitions for 1988-89 rose an average seven percent over 1987-88, according to the College Board. The inflation rate in the United States—the increase in prices for general items from cars to shoes—was four percent during the same time. As a result, the average four-year public school student is paying $1,483 in tuition this year, while students pay an average $6,457 to go to private four-year colleges, $750 to go to public two-year colleges and $4,415 to go to private two-year campuses, the College Board figured last fall. Some bills for next fall are already set. Baylor University students will pay eight percent more next year. The University of Northern Iowa's prices will go up seven percent for in-state students, nine percent for non­ residents. At Utah State, in-state students will pay nine percent more. At Duke University in North Carolina, rates will raise seven percent for undergrads. The majority of schools are begin­ ning to announce their tuitions,as legislatures ponder budgets and cam­ pus officials determine how much they need to charge students. The trend, however, is pointing up­ ward. Initial proposals would have students at the 13 University of Wisconsin campuses paying 11 to 12 percent more gext year. Loyola University of New Orleans officials are considering raising tui­ tion by as much as 18 percent next fall. "It is fair to say that there will be a raise in the tuition rate for fall '89," said Dr. Maurice Scherrens, vice president for finance and planning at George Mason University in Virginia. "Yet I am currently uncertain of the exact percentage of increase." Colleges receive the money they need to operate from cash gifts, earn­ ings on their stock portfolios, govern­ ment grants, state legislatures, the federal government, and students in the form of tuition. When legislatures don't ap­ propriate enough money, campuses normally turn to students to make up the difference. "State appropriations have been okay in the last few years," the ACE's Hauptman said, and public colleges consequently haven't had to impose the nine or 10 percent increase common in the early 1980s. Yet students in economically distressed states—particularly where agriculture and energy are the domi nant industries—may have to pay more than six to eight percent more in tuition next fall, he added. Even telatively healthy economies such as those in New York, California and Massachusetts are suffering from tax revenue shortfalls and have less to appropriate to their colleges. "One quick way of closing those shortfalls is to taise tuition," Haupt­ man said. George Mason's Scherrens added campuses need more money, loo, to pay faculty members as much as they could make in private industry, to add staff and to build and maintain their structures. George Mason, for one, is trying to finance a new science building, a new dorm and a new stu­ dent union. Some students are not happy about the prospect of higher tuition. "I'll have to get a higher paying job," University of Arizona Junior Karen Bonz said. "It's really hard unless you've got a silver spoon or something." If L.oyola of New Orleans actually imposes an 18 percent hike, it'll drive everyone except "the rich, stupid kids who can't get in anywhere else" off campus, Student Government Repre­ sentative lata Loornis said. "Students are having to work 20, 30, even 40 hours a week to pay for tuition," Ati/ona Students Associa­ tion member Brad Golich said at a November rally protesting a proposed $156 tuition hike at Arizona State University. "How can we do well in school if we're working all the time?" In December, the Arizona regents who set the tuition lor ASU, Nor­ thern Arizona and the University ol Arizona, said they were impressed enough by the outpouring ol student anger over the proposed raise to lower the hike to $84. Golich seemed satisfied, noting some increases may be inevitable. "The reality is that (tuition cuts) would be an incredible amount of revenue loss for the university system. You've got to look at economic reali­ ty. The question now is what (tuition) level is fair." �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y, JANUARY 26, 1989 Nobody knows better than we do how much help and understanding is needed for the family Pat,ent- The patient's spouse is under tremendous stress, and the children are often forgotten or just plain left out.

What is so mystical and cosmic about people who make a ton of money from strut­ ting from point A to point B in front of a camera? Are they any better than you or me? If they aren't, then why is Entertainment Tonight so popular? Why do some people become out of breath whenever they see a "famous person" LIVE in person? Are M-TV V-Js really that important? If so, why? Why do we care who Robin Leach visits each week? Why... Oh jeez, I'm sorry. 1 forgot Leatha already did a column on questions last week. I'll try a different approach. Sorry. I get really pissed off watching former stand-up comedians, weathermen, and even game showpersonalities act as "Talk Show" hosts. It's really insufferable to sit through someone pretending they are intelligent as they ask questions, made up by their staff prior to the show, to equally shallow celebrities. It's like having Bozo interviewing Ronald McDonald and asking him what he thinks of world peace. It just doesn't add up. As much as the guests should be interesting, the hosts of these shows should be people with some news credentials. Question: If you were a famous person, who would you rather interview you—Linda Ellerbee or Sam Kinison? Question: Do you even know who Linda Ellerbee is? Oh well. Something is a little warped when a nation can get excited about the com­ ings and goings of future nobodys. Idiots with names like Patrick, River, Jason, Ally, Chad, Kirk, Bruce, and even (sigh) Justine make us willing to stay up late. All of this just to watch what they will do and hear what little tid-bits of wisdom they might say: "So, your new movie Satisfaction II—Revenge Of The Nude Fat Girls On Acid is going to be out in theaters tomorrow." "Actually, only, like one theater." "One?" "Yeah. The Compson Cineplex in Phoenix, Arizona, I think." "Really?" "It should be, like, on cable next Friday night." "That soon?" "Yeah, like... no... well, excuse me. That's the first movie that will be on Cinemax (giggle), you know the one before this one? This one, part two or something, just finished up filming last month in South Dakota and is going to be shown in Arizona next week. That's how it works." "Really?" "Yeah. It's a really good movie, too. I think, like, it has a real mean­ ing to it." "So, it is different than your first film?" "Oh, most like, fur-sher. It has a totally gnarly soundtrack with me, like, singing, of course." "Naturally. " "And we, like, also have a few songs by Kenny Loggins, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and a tune by, like, some token new wave band, with, like, initials or something for a name." "Fascinating." "Wouldyou believe that I was once a model?" "No?" "I write poetry too, aside from my acting. Wanna hear some?" "No." We, as a nation, make such a big deal about people who, aside from having a well known face or name, we wouldn't care for if they were some­ one normal who we were in everyday contact with. Through T.V. and magazines we shell out big bucks to get a bunch of dirt on a bunch of losers. What it all boils down to is that these are, for the most part, nor­ mal people with a problem of taking themselves too seriously, which develops that inflated ego. The press and the population make them out to be more than what they are. Example: Why should we respect Judd Nelson? Has he done brain surgery lately and won a Nobel Prize? The answer is a big "NO"—he's still a jerk who happens to be an actor—and not a very good one to begin with! Last summer I went with Amy (my ever-present friend) to see one of her all time idols, Robert Plant. The con­ cert was so-so, a little too much Led Zep for my liking, but oh well. After­ wards, Amy was going to try and meet this Rock Legend, "LIVE and in person." She asked me to wait near the backstage area for her as she went to go hunt down "The Tall Cool One," and I agreed. After a long time of waiting, I started searching for Amy but before I knew it, I was knee deep in stupid, floozy girls paying homage to Robert and his spritzed hair. Luckily, Amy was not among them (if I had seen her, I think I AXLE ROSE LEAD SINGER FOR GUNS N' ROSES. would have left her behind).

First of all, the word "syndrome" scares most people, male or female. Remember the movie, The China Syndrome? Pretty scary, huh? Syndrome sounds like "cancer" or "deficiency," words no one likes to have applied to themselves. A syndrome is a big deal. Medicine is required. And women—don't you think that most males are terrified of the word "menstrual?" Menses, menstruation, the whole bit. Not trying to be sexist here, but it's so true. Menstrual is a threatening word to men. It's a frightening idea to women, but it's downright intimidating for men, probably because they don't under­ stand it completely. I mean, really. Remember in third grade, when all the girls went to one room to watch the infamous film on Becoming a Woman—menstruation, hygiene, and gray hint or two about sex and pregnancy? (All that stuff came in high school, years after you already knew anyway.) All the boys went to another room to learn about Becom­ ing a Man—nocturnal emissions (can I say that in the paper?), cleanliness, developing muscles, etc. Nary a word about what a female goes through, except to introduce that vague idea that boys' and girls' bodies are dif­ ferent. Women have pillows; men don't. Simple, right? And why shouldn't the word "menstruation" be frightening? Women tell men how awful it is, more often than not, embellishing the details in order to gain sympathy. "Be glad YOU don't have to go through this every month," we tell our male friends. "It's sheer misery! I have to stay in bed for five days, drinking only water, until my stomach unknots and I can breathe again." The male's eyes widen, and he gulps, having gained new-found respect for you. Women love this. Ever since caveman times, it is theorized men have been fascinated by, mystified over, and jealous of the female ability to reproduce human life in their own bodies and make food for the babies, and menstruation is part of that. Jack Nicholson in The Witches of East wick, fell prey to that concept. It's a fascinating idea, even to us women. So what is PMS? I think that men are terrified of that too, and with reason. It turns women into wild animals. No amount of Haagen-Daz will save you when you're confronted by a woman with flaming hair, a mouth spitting venom, and claws ten inches long. Forget it, men. Women with PMS are as hypersensitive to everything men say or do as a sixteenyear-old who has been stood up on Prom Night. So don't try to reason with us and tell us it's all in our heads. Just stay out of our way. My sociology professor tells the story of a woman whose husband made the mistake of beginning a fight with her while in the kitchen. "Never1 start a fight with a woman in her domain," Dr. Wise warns. "She knows where the knives are." It's legitimate, it's scary. It's PMS. Know the symptoms. Fear them. ASU fiction spotlight An unforgettable lesson one black night By ANGIE CHESNUT Appalachian Staff Writer The sky was a dark grey. Storm clouds had been rolling in all after­ noon, and it looked as though it was going to storm. I hoped the weather would hold because Mom wouldn't let me go out with Shannon if the weather was bad. I don't know if she was apprehensive about me riding in a car with an inexperienced driver, or if she just did not like me hanging around with Shannon, and looked for any excuse to keep me home safe with her. That evening, when Mom came to pick me up from work, I was irritable. She was late, again. It was such a bitch not being able to drive yet. "Hello Mother." My voice was not exactly sweet. "I've been waiting forever." "Well Gina," she snapped, "I can't help it. I've got other things to do besides run around after you." I sat stonily in my seat, not looking at her. I was mad at myself for behav­ ing so badly, and mad at her for bringing out my worst side. "I'm going off with Shannon tonight and now I've got to rush to get ready. You do this on purpose you know." "Young lady, don't tell me what you're going to do, and don't use that tone of voice with me." My mother's face looked wearied. Silence. "Where are you going?" "Honestly," I thought, "all that woman ever does is pry into my business." I didn't dare tell her I was going to the dreaded bowling alley. She thought that the crowd ' who hung out around there was too rough. I knew she wouldn't let me go, so I lied. "We're going to the movies and then out for pizza.. . I'm spending the night." "Does her mother know?" "Yes, Mother!" I was beginning to get angry. "Her mother knows." When Shannon rang the doorbell, I hurried to get out of the house before my parents saw me. 1 was sure they would think my jeans were too tight, and I didn't want the hassle. Once we were in the car I could relax. "Parents getting you down?" Shannon's voice was knowing, sym­ pathizing. I rolled my eyes. Now that I was safely away from my family's watch­ ful eye, I began to feel reckless, excited. "Hell, yes!" I answered. "Beer is in the back," she said, lighting up a cigarette. (Shannon could always get beer. She had a fake ID.) She continued talking. "My mom said I had on too much make-up. Can you believe it?" I thought she looked a little slutty, but I didn't say anything. I gulped down more beer instead. "Hold your beer lower," she instructed. "We don't want anybody to see, especially cops." I followed her advice, and we made it to the bowling alley without mishap. I was quite relieved. I didn't like drinking and driving, but Shan­ non said she could handle it—and she always did. Besides, I liked being around Shannon and her friends. I felt I had a place where I belonged, where I was accepted. Sometimes I felt uncomfortable with drinking and with the occasional drugs, but I usual­ ly suppressed these feelings and went along with them. I was about to get out of the car when Shannon stopped me. "Look what I've got!" She held her open palm up to the dashboard light. I saw five shiny black pills. "Want one?" she asked. "They're black beauties—supposed to be pretty good stuff." I hesitated. I didn't feel right about this. Sure, I had taken a couple of hits of speed before, no big deal. But this time.. .this time something was warn­ ing me away. The night was black, the pills blacker. There was something very ominous about them. I was reminded of the poem "She Walks in Beauty Like the Night." Wasn't that chick at a funeral? Yeah sure, the girl in the poem was just a frivilous bitch at a funeral. Shannon broke into my thoughts. "Gina, for God's sake! Do you want one or not?" The reckless, self-destructive part of myself reached out and took one of the beauties. I swallowed it down with some beer. I smiled. "Ready to party?" "That's my girl," Shannon laughed. "Let's go in." The time I spent inside the bowling alley is very foggy. I remember that Shannon and 1 took another hit. I don't know if it was because we were stupid or if we both were just driven by some sort of inner selfdestructiveness. I also don't remember talking to Hank, one of Shannon's older sister's friends, that night. However, I do remember that he was concerned enough about us to drive us home. Apparently Shannon was in no condi­ tion to drive. She couldn't handle it. One thing 1 do remember very vividly—the moon. It was red, blood red. A moon full of foreboding. I had lost all track of time and place. The only thing 1 was aware of was him—that creature who ruled the moon. He stood before my eyes with Hell's wind swirling around his muscle-bound body. His black eyes pierced my soul and he held my little black beauties in the palm of his hand. He seemed the very essence of evil as orange flames flared, leaping to the beat of a band of demons. I stared as if hypnotized by his wild beauty as his powerful figure moved closer to take me down into everlasting fire. I felt my heartbeat slow. Its drum­ ming beat resounded in my ears. The sound grew until it consumed my entire world. It was my world. Doom... Doom... Doom. 1 knew that I had got hold of some bad stuff. Stupid stuff. Stupid me. I did not want to die. I wanted this hateful creature out of my life. I wanted my family. 1 wanted to go home. I saw no reason that they should save me. I had treated them unjustly and I deserved to be without their comfort and love. I thought of my parents and how they worked so hard to teach me right from wrong. I thought of how they sacrificed just so me and my brother could have the best they could afford. Their love was not unlike the love of Jesus Christ—unselfish, uncondi­ tional, forgiving. I could be forgiven. I could be saved. Trust in the Lord. Honor Your Father and Mother. Have no other God before Me. A (lash of light brought nie out of my darkness. I heard frightened, con­ cerned voices all around me. Strong, loving arms embraced me. Hank had brought me home. Our house flooded with light as my family awoke and came to help me. I was home. I was free. I was saved. �T H E A P P A L AC H I A N , T H U R S D A Y , J A N U A R Y 2 6 , 1 9 8 9 Stop classifieds And though it's been said many times, many ways, actions still speak louder than words.

Local clubs were packed by bands such as The Stream of Con­ sciousness, The Megaphonics, Sensi­ ble Pumps, Boogie Monsters, Harrarrae, the Union Band Moral Chaos, and last but not—I can't help it—LEASHED the Dogs of Pompeii. Now, a lot of bands have come through Boone, sporting all combina­ tions of words for names—ranging from Rare Air to Artisans Rheotaxis—but Dogs of Pompeii is just one visual image that I couldn't fathom. A good band name really says something about what the listener can expect to hear. You won't hear Lawrence Welk medleys coming from a group called Leftover Acne, and you sure won't anticipate teethgnashing power cords ripping from a group called The Sound of Clouds.. .Sleeping. But I didn't now what to expect from Dogs of Pompeii. I had to see it to believe it. Upon entering Amadeus (which was, by the way, literally the only place that has featured any semblance of live entertainment thus far), I observed that the band had set up a snazzy multi-colored sign made of Christmas lights which spelled out (what else?) "Dogs of Pompeii." I looked around, checked out the equipment, checked out the crowd, which wasn't much at the time, and just basically chilled out. And then they walked on stage: The Dogs of Pompeii—in the flesh. My first impression was kind of mixed. My notes say ".. .band looks like a cross between the Beach Boys, the E Street Band, Sidewinder, and the Ozark Mountain Daredevels," but 1 couldn't quite put my finger on it. They looked like a band you might have seen at your high school prom. I thought they would start out with "Devil Went Down to Georgia" or "Surfer Girl" or something. Then they started playing. I'm not sure if the peopie who started dancing had ever been to a prom. The band opened up, much to my surprise, with "Born Under a Bad Sign," by Cream. But that wasn't the end of my surprises that evening. The band went through the entire first set without getting so much as two people on the dance floor. It seemed as if the crowd took a while to compute the band. "You know," said the bass player, "it's absolutely illegal to dance in Boone." There's nothing worse for a band's ego than to play music to dance to and no one is out on the dance floor. The few representative of the col­ lege crowd who did show up spent most of the time hanging out in the background as if they were thinking, "Should we dance to someone that old?" There was a problem. But the Dogs played on, hoping for a handful of dancin' fools from heaven to crash through the roof...well, that didn't exactly happen, but by the middle of the second set, I had to pull my ex­ tremities in from the dance floor to avoid them being yanked off by the spontaneously rejuvenated crowd. Whew. I was starting to feel bad for the guys. The Dogs stuck to a fairly normal repertoire, playing such small band stalwarts as "Hang on Sloopy" and "Can't Get No Satisfaction," but oc­ casionally throwing the audience a curve or two. At one point, I found myself surprised to hear R.E.M.'s "The One 1 Love" coming from these gentlemen who looked like they could have been uncles of mine. Then they would play some more standards such See NAME Page 6 Side one fizzled out By MARK LATENDRESSSE Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian Photo by Keith Harrison SIDE ONE DANCE BAND (?): Club Candlelight's last show highlighted the Side One. This show was the fifth in the Club Candlelight series. Next month look for Johs White Jr. Some people thought this show wasn't of as high a caliber as the other shows. Albums you never get sick of By MICHELLE RISSOLO Appalachian Staff Writer Whatever happened to those albums you could listen to over and over, year after year, and never get sick of them? The Descendants, AH—The Best of 1987. Well, it's that time of year where no one is releasing LPs of any worth. The charts are the same as they were in December of last year. This got me thinking, "Why bore my readers with BS about BS? I'll review my favorite LPs of years gone by and maybe get' some of the people to buy excellent music." The Descendants are a group of guys who used to be in different bands together. Bassist Karl Alvarez, guitarist Stephen Egerton, drummer Bill Stevenson and vocalist Milo Ankerman are the boys who made this particular LP. A recommendation: buy this album, see the boys live, and buy their other albums. This is a clean, hard­ core punk LP we are talking about here. This LP contains two of the shortest songs known to man: "All," which is one second long; and "No, All!" which is two seconds long. "Coolidge" is the second song on the first side. It's a fast, clean tune with excellent rhythm. The lyrics are a bit sophisticated for a punk band, and the message is quite deep. I'm not a cool guy anymore, Left il behind, then locked the door, / know you can't escape the past, Now I look back and have to laugh, I was my worst enemy, It almost got the best of me, What was I thinking of? It couldn 't stay the way it was, I looked up one day and saw that, It was up to me, You can only be a victim if you admit defeat. These boys used to be skinheads, and it's evident in "Van" and "All-ogistics." "Van" is your typical watered-down skin tune. It has a superb guitar line and cutting lyrics. Obviously, these boys did major tours in their van. Usually they spend five months on the road to promote an LP. "All-o-gistics" is your basic "creed" or "commandment" song. It has a rap element and lays down the guidelines to being "All." Thou shall always go for greatness, Thou shall not commit adult­ hood, Thou shall not partake of Decaf, Thou shall not suppress flatu­ lence, Thou shall not commit thyself to an institution, Thou shall have no idea, Thou shall not commit hygiene, Thou shall not take the Van's name in vain, Thou shall not allow anything to deter you in your quest for all. The fifth song on the first side is "Cameage." It's the love song of this LP—I named my cat after it. The tempo is fast, the guitar is cool, the lyrics rip your heart out and Karl wails on the bass. "Impressions" is the sixth song on side one. It's a serious recall of the past while on acid. The guitar in this is really creative-acoustic in song but strong enough to keep the emotions dead. The last song on the first side is "Iceman." It's a story about today's responsibilities as a parent to love your child—quality time is necessary. The angst and disgust of a child grow­ ing up without love is ripped throughout this pokey tune. The bass line drives the drums into your head like a swan's tune. ball machine of chords. The last song is "Schizophre­ nia"—the reality is a dream and the dream is reality. The tempo is deranged, and the guitar is a stepping stone for the sure-footed bass. "Life is for you to suffer through and everyone dies," is the serious theme of this tune. The song jumps from rap to angst to power to pulse. It's a crazy way to end an LP. Last Friday night Club Candlelight, a series sponsored by A.P.P.S. Club Shows, began the spring semester with "Side 1," a dance band out of Charlotte. Number five was just not Club Candelight's number. I had to give the evening's presentation the big Thumbs Down! okay, nobody's perfect. I feel that four out of five is not a bad track record. At least that is what I have on my score card for the Club Candlelight series. Jane Powell was fantastic. Wayne Federman was a washout, but Dave Rudolf and "Marshal & Vaughn" were great and helped make the second show a suc­ cess. Phillip Aaberg was marvelous and Tim Settimi was not only funny but extremely talented. That's the first four. "Side 1" just didn't make it. Now, for the band... It was the sort of band you could find on the Holiday Inn circuit. You know, an 80s Love Boat/Bobby Vinton type band. The type of band you'd see playing the honeymoon hotels at Niagra Falls. These guys probably live for weddings and Bar Mitzvahs. They played the sort of music that you could dance to with an aging grand­ mother. Yes indeed, they were that slow! "Side 1" was just too slow. They opened with a 10-hour—okay, maybe 10-minute—instrumental while their lead singer wandered around The Pub. Perhaps it was a sound check, or maybe an equipment malfunction that needed repair, but I was bored by There was a lot of talking going on throughout The Pub. That's because the audience was bored. I left after the band's first set to get something to eat. The young woman I was escort­ ing that evening wanted to return—she wanted to dance. But in the true spirit of a critic I returned. And much to my dismay the band hadn't improved in the least. In fact, 1 could not subject myself (nor the previously mentioned young woman) to anymore of the "funky sounds" and "bugged-out" early, a first for me during this Club Candlelight series. The next Club Candlelight presen­ tation is February 3 and features Josh White. I've heard some impressive things about this performer and would suggest you give it a shot. Tickets will go fast, so keep your eye out for the posters. Bobcat bites back at ASU By PRUITT ALLEN Appalachian Slaff Writer Bobcat Goldthwait is to stand-up comedy what David Letterman is to television. Letterman throws barbs and jibes at his own profession, spewing out lengthy diatribes about what's wrong with modern TV—and then proceeds to give his viewers exactly that. Usual­ ly with a straight face. Goldthwait proved in his show this Tuesday that he can do the same thing. After ragging on people in Far­ thing for asking for his old material, he did the same Bono imitation—to the same song, even—that he's been doing for years (you can tell he's sick of it, but he's locked in). He insults Bob Hope's material at the first Com­ edy Awards show, then at our show he runs off a string of his own ancient jokes just as shamefully as Hope ever read a cue card. I suppose it's a testimony to Bobcat's ability as an entertainer that, like Letterman, in­ fuses his often-dopey bits with his own personality, so Goldthwait took bits that I could say along with him and still kept me laughing the whole show with them. Bobcat is on the road for a while, He's not alive, he can't dream, stone cold monster, thinking machine Never feels anger or pain, What's left of his heart, is inside his brain. The second side begins with "Clean Sheets." It's a song by Bill and how he found out his babe was cheating on him. This one is backed by the pain of being screwed over by your lover. "Pep Talk" follows "Clean Sheets"—I'm sure it's because that's how it happened when Bill told the band what happened. This tune is representative of a real Descendants song—tough, don't give a s— attitude and full of raw power. The LP was produced by Bill and he did an exceptional job on "Pep Talk." Milo shows his vocal abilities, and he's quite impressive. Stephen's guitar is pushed to the limit in a pin- the time they ended their opening number, let alone their opening set. Luckily that didn't last long! It was apparent that these guys had some talent, but not for commercial music of this genre. The lead singer had an impressive range and could do much better than singing Phil Collins tunes in slow speed. Even the band's repartee with the audience was strained. The lack of audience enthusiasm, coupled with the lack of couples on the dance floor, should Jiave been a big enough hint to these guys that they should have been doing something different. The first four people on the dance floor worked for Club Candlelight, and one of the males had a pained expression on his face as he was dragged out there. BOB GOLDTHWAIl Appalachian Photo by Lori Howkini and his material showed it. He stuc to topics he built his rep on exploiting them to the fullest. Included in his single, one-hour-plus set were welcome jibes about Sly Stallone, overwrought musings on his trademark beverage, Tab, a hilarious Dan Quayle anecdote and comments on the commercialization of rock ("Paul, I've just written the greatest sneaker advert," in a perfect Lennon accent). To be fair, the Bobcat did try to orient his act to Boone, N.C. (a town "named after the noise you scare peo­ ple with," according to Goldthwait). He did interact with the audience just a bit; he got bitten when he strayed onto the subject of religion, but bit back hard ("I'm not that thrilled that we blew two guys up") when the crowd applauded the shooting down of Libyan jets, and got a little goodnatured teasing in on the subject of leisure studies, thanks to a particular­ ly verbal member of the audience. The best laugh of the night came when an audience member compared Boone to "Bumfuck Egypt," and Bobcat returned, "Well...you enrolled here." The crowd was very vocal, willing to interact with Goldthwait constant­ ly; he said numerous times that we compared favorably with a Yale au­ dience he'd done a few daysago. The crowd was also vocally supportive of the opening act, one Billy Z. Z. is a comic from Boston, where Goldthwait started out in stand-up. Z.'s act focused mostly on his own fat, 33 year-old, single Yankee per­ sona. He was good, working the crowd well considering Farthing's built-in limitations, and at times seemed to be improvising better than Goldthwait. He also seemed to be like the headliner in his attempts to con front us with the paucity of our media-overkill lives. A cut above the usual "comedy store" fare, and a good opener for a great show. �6 u THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y, JANUARY 26. 19X9 Imagine" is a great flick for Lennon fans By TED MUCHA and JEFF BEHMER Appalachian Slatf Wriltrs "I don't need Jesus Christ, i don't need Kennedy, I don't need Elvis, I don't need the Beatles... All I need is me." 1 think that really about sums up the movie Imagine and the personal philosophy of John Lennon. Imagine is the newly-released movie about the most outspoken, opinionated and controversial Beatle. John Lennon died more than eight years ago, but he will not soon be forgotten. The movie title comes from the song of the same name that was writen shortly before his tragic death. Lennon's maturity (or lack of it) is traced from his Liverpool days when he played guitar with a chap named Name Continued from Page 5 as, "Shake Rattle ana KOII" and "You Keep Me Hangin' On" — Vanilla Fudge version, yet—and then come out with The Replacments' "I Don't Know." I was /ery shocked to hear "Messin' With die Kid," an old Woody's Truck Stop song (which featured a very young l odd Rundgren on guitar). It was a weird selection, needless to say, but at least it stayed interesting. Not bad for a band whose slogan is, "Love Gods of Rock 'n' Roll." The band—comprised of guitarist Rick Spalding, lead guitarist Rick McKeown, drummer Rick Morris, bassist John Allison, and keyboardist Dr. Charles Murray—hails from Black Mountain, NC and aren't full time musicians. Some of their "other" lives range from Spalding and Morris being wind chime makers to Murray's occupation as a general practitioner. Allison daylights as a motorcycle parts salesman, and McKeown works as a graphic designer. On the whole, the Dogs of Pompeii sounded pretty good at what they did, and were a hit with the above-30 crowd that showed up. Although they weren't as visually exciting as one might be accustomed to around here, the Dogs played some decent rock V roll, and 1 wasn't embarrassed to pay S3 to see them. Paul McCartney. The early days of the Beatles, from the late nights in Hamburg, Germany to their exciting "invasion" of the United States in the early 60s, is documented. From the very beginning, the Beatles always displayed a boyish sense of humor, with John Lennon being especially witty. As the character sketch of Lennon continues, we see how his wit often contradicted the beliefs and morals of the public. "The Beatles are more popular than Jesus" quip and the famous "Bed-in" with his Japanese wife Yoko Ono are a couple of in­ cidents that come to mind. What it comes down to is that Lennon seemed to have a need to always have the at­ tention spotlight focused on him. Now I'm not saying he loved being constantly swarmed by bothersome groupies, but instead that he wanted a lot of those influenceable people to listen to what he had to say. To John Lennon, his word was law. Now before all you Lennon sym­ pathizers begin to put me down with insults that Geraldo Rivera usually gets (and deserves), let me add that John Lennon has always been one of my favorites. I knew what 1 was going to find when I went to see this flick: About twelve people in the audience (most of them wanna-be hippies) and a great soundtrack. The music of course is the highlight. Many old Beatles songs, some of Lennon's later material, and the interesting stories of their derivations are great. The hip­ pies in the audience were pretty enter­ taining too, especially when they lit up a little "wacky weed" during the Sgt. Pepper stage of the movie. No joke. The movie does have its fascinating mome.its. One is when an American groupie repeatedly sleeps on the grounds of Lennon's huge estate in Ascot, England. The perturbed Beatle confronts the camper and asks the man what he is doing. The man, ob­ viously a loser, insists that through his songs, Lennon is conveying messages to him. Lennon, with Yoko on his side, finally shuts the guy up like a hostage negotiator would calm and convince a kidnapper to give it up. Other interesting aspects of the movie are very personal interviews of Julian Lennon and Sean Lennon, the son of Yoko who was very young when his father was struck down. Imagine is a must for the true John Lennon fans, but for those who have only a casual liking for the man, try out the video cassette "Beatles Com­ plete." This movie shares many of the same concert footage and interviews. There will never be a John Lennon craze like there is about Elvis (who by the way was seen outside the Student Union last week buying a tie-dyed shirt), but that will not remove him from being remembered as one of the true elites in music history.

First and foremost, what a stupid name. Who v^ aiits to be called the Heat? The reSL] question is, what is a Heat? I assume they are talking about the w gather, but 1 could never play for a team named after the weather. I t>elieve their players think the same Once again, with the Super Bowl over, it is time for the Pro Bowl where the All-Stars from around the league compete for their conferences. This year the Pro Bowl comes to Appalachian. For the first time in the history of ASU football, we have two former players going to Hawaii. Dino Hackett will represent the American Football Conference, while John Set­ tle will represent the National Foot­ ball Conference. Hackett is a linebacker for the Kan­ sas City Chiefs. This season, he had 70 tackles and 34 assists for a total of 134. Hackett sacked the quarterback three times for a loss of 25 yards. He forced one fumble and recovered one fumble this season. "It's always been a goal of mine to make the Pro Bowl," Hackett said. Due to injury sustained to his knee during the year, Hackett will not be able to compete this year. "It's neat that John and I both got selected. It shows a lot for Ap­ palachian football," Hackett said. "I am disappointed I cannot play." The injury sustained to his knee caused Hackett to have surgery. "It has been about seven weeks (since the surgery). I could have played, but did not want to take the chance," Hackett said. Settle, a running back for the Atlanta Falcons, led his team by rushing for over 1000 yards and had the longest run from scrimmage in the NFL this year when he went on a 62-yard gallop. "This is a fantastic touch on an already super season," Settle said. Settle, a backup at the beginning of the season, got the starting job when Gerald Riggs went down. Settle, who played at Appalachian with Hackett, was looking forward to seeing him. "I was hoping to hit him. We played against each other in high school," Settle said. "Only two schools in the nation have two players in the Pro Bowl, one being Notre Dame and the other being Appalachian State," Settle said.

"Since he plays on grass, he gets dirty and that is one of the prerequisites," Hackett said on why Settle was selected and he was not. Settle has many goals he would like to obtain in the coming years. "(I'm) going to take it one step at a time. If the opportunity presents itself to gain over 1000 yards again, I will do it," Settle said. Settle is now the talk of Atlanta and has been referred to as 'the bargain back of the year.' Currently Settle plans to talk to the Falcons about his contract in the coming months. Settle has high hopes for the up­ coming year. "I hope to make the playoffs then the Super Bowl. I am not going to the Super Bowl until I am playing in it," Settle said._ Hackett has a different outlook on the coming season because he will be under a new general manager and a new head coach.

Tight Race, as usualf in the ACC By ROGER WATSON Assistant Sports Editor Once again the Atlantic Coast Con­ ference basketball season has cranked up for another season of competitive nail-biting action. If you have been too busy doing homework, you may not have been able to keep up with the drama, so let me catch you up. For those of you from Florida, this prob­ ably won't mean as much to you, but for Carolina men and some women, the ACC is a religion. So far, the season has been marked with upsets. This points to the parody that has always been present in the ACC. Let's start from the bottom of the standings and work to the top. At the bottom are the Maryland Terrapins with a conference record of 0-5 and an overall record of 6-10. Coach Bob Wade is having another tough year. It looked as if things were turning around at College Park last year when the Terps made it as far as the second round of the NCAA tournament, but then things started to unravel. Steve Hood, who started 21 games last year, transferred to James Madison to play with former Maryland head coach Lefty Driesell. Reserve Mark Karver went to George Washington, and Brian Williams, the player that Wade planned to build his program around, went to Arizona. To further complicate things, Rudy Archer was ruled academically ineligi­ ble, and Teyon McCoy decided to sit out the season before practice began. These developments placed Wade right back at the bottom of the ladder that he had so successfully climbed last season. Now Mafyland must try to build again. Next up is Wake Forest. Tltev are 2-4 in the conference and 9-6 overall. Coach Bob Staak is in his fourth year at Wake, and the improvements are being revealed slowly but surely. Staak's recruiting has helped his team tremendously. Newcomers Chris King, Derrick McQueen, and Phil Medlin have all helped support Sam Ivey and have made him a more effec­ tive player. Wake Forest has already upset Duke, and don't be surprised if more upsets pop up during the season. Wake has a young team, but just wait until they grow up. The Virginia Cavaliers have had another up and down season. They are even in the conference at 2-2 and 9-6 overall. Freshman Bryant Stith and senior Richard Morgan have pro­ vided much of the firepower for the Cavaliers. Terry Holland has been sick much of the season, so assistant coach Dave Odoms has handled the coaching duties. The highlight of the season so far for Virginia was the drubbing of the Tarheels in Char­ lottesville. It's hard to tell how Virginia will play from game to game. After beating North Carolina, they had to go into overtime to finish off Maryland. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are tied for fourth in the conference with a 1-1 conference record and an 11-6 mark overall. The Yellow Jackets have had a good season thus far, and it's hard to tell how good they really are because they haven't gotten much ACC action yet. They barely beat Wake Forest, and then they lost to N.C. State. The Jackets showed how good they could be by taking the tt 1 ranked Illinois lllini into two overSee ACC' Page 8 one can do it better. As a former basketball player myself, 1 wonder how Beth makes a difficult sport like basketball look so easy? How does she exude so much grace and poise in every step she takes? Somehow you don't know Are you up to going to another bor­ ing event? Are you getting all your assignments finished so you can attend the night basketball games? If you doubt whether you should attend, you obviously have not seen dynamic, action-packed Beth Laney in action. You know all there is to know about basketball, you say. You think that girls cannot play basketball, that it is a man's sport. Well, you are wrong. Senior Beth Laney has opened the eyes of many people to this unjust philosophy. Beth Laney is a vibrant, captivating and breath-taking player. While watching Beth Laney, you will not be able to stay in your seat. The energy from her body flows throughout the gym. But the question I ask is, do you really know the per­ son behind the jersey and basketball? she's there until she's right behind Beth Laney is not like most girls her you, then it is too late.

Her the gym for one reason and one parents have influenced and sup­ reason only.. .to play basketball. No ported her ever since. When her parents cannot be there, it is Coach Robinson who stands beside Beth in her times of need. Beth is an excellent basketba player but she is even a better friend and teammate. Beth considers her teammates to be very valuable on and off the court. "Out of the four years I have been here at ASU, this year's team is the friendliest," Beth said Even though Beth is a star athlete, she still makes time for other impor­ tant areas of her life, such as her education. One of the main reasons Beth came to ASU is because of the 4 people in (he community. "The:com immunity was interested in what was "Besr*fbr IlWfW tbrms of my educa­ tion," Laney said. Beth is from a small town so she fit in quite nicely in Boone. Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics is superstar to many of us here at ASU To Beth, he is an idol. She admire the way he exercises his shooting abili ty, his quickness in defense, and hi outstanding grasp of the othc players' whereabouts. She alsi admires Michael Jordan. Beth much like these other athletes in ter of her willpower and her dedication to the game of basketball. No matter how good you are, there is always a need for dedication and commitment to the cause. Beth also enjoys playing tennis and softball. She spends the majority ot her extra time helping younget children mold and expand their basicskills. Her primary goal in life is to help accommodate the needs of others whenever needed. Time is a commodity which many athletes don't have a lot of. Beth agrees that "the key to success is being able to set aside quality study time." After college, Beth plans to get.

Nominations will begin the week of January 23. Any student, faculty, or staff member participating in intramurals is eligible to win the award. All win­ ners receive an Appalachian In­ tramural Athlete of the Week t-shirt. Each week, one female and one male will be chosen among the nominations received. All of weekly entries will be judged on the nominee's contribution to a team or sport, participation on a team or in a sport, and sportsmanships to teammates and other intramural par­ ticipants. Nominations will be taken through Friday for that week of com­ petition. Winners will then be an­ nounced the following Tuesday.

These winners will be named the Appalachian Intramural Athletes of the Year. Pepsi will award each yearly winner a Pepsi Athlete of the Year Jacket. Dr. Jim Avant, the Director of the Department of Recreation, In­ tramurals, and Club Sports, believes' that the revival of the Athlete of the Week is important in intramural com­ petition. "The purpose of Athlete of the Week is to give recognition to an in­ tramural participant who has had an outstanding athletic performance in a given sporting activity," he said. Furthermore, Avant feels that the outstanding competitor in intramural sports deserves credit like a varsity athlete because both put forth that ex­ tra winning effort. "There are a lot of talented young athletes in our university," he said. "With about 200 basketball tean playing 100 games a week; there wi be many good athletic performance by a lot of the participants." With the large numoer of ii tramural competitors in the spring a tivities, active participation is e pected. Avant believes that with great number of entries, the contest find the true Athlete of the Wet should be both competitive and fur "I hope our program leaders e pand the Athlete of the Week to i elude as many participants in all i our intramural sports activities," 1 said. Mountaineer Mania Once again the Mountaineer Mania Sports Trivia Question is back. Thanks to all the people who entered last week. This week's question is on­ ly a little tougher, and if you think about it, the question should make sense, especially if you follow basket­ ball in North Carolina. The question is: When was the last time two men's college basketball teams finished the regular season and tournament play undefeated?

Right now, whether anyone wants to admit it o r not, the message that is being sent by installing c o n d o m machines is: " S e x outside marriage is okay, just b e careful." I realize that this is the predominant opinion of o u r day, but that d o e s n ' t make it right. Furthermore, Chancellor O Anniversary CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT TODAY! ust measures are being taken t o m a k e immoral behavior easier and more accepted. In my opinion Special good until Feb. 14 SOI E. King St. Wt the students at ASU. Sexual immorality is what started the AIDS epidemic in the first place and now I homas decision is not courageous a t all because it bends to popular opinion rather than taking a stand for what is right. I know that many will deny that this is his intent, saying: " E v e n though w e think it's wrong, w e must take recommend these measures to prevent the spread of A I D S . " Let it be known that I agree with Surgeon General C. Everett Koop's approach to the problem of A I D S in this nation, but I disagree with what is happening at A S U . Koop strongly advocates abstinence from sex outside of marriage but believes in educating the general populace about the use of condoms. H e advocates that since people a r e going to c o m m i t sexual immorality anyway, Cut these steps must be taken to c u r b the spread of A I D S and protect the innocent w h o m a y contract the disease through the winter chill with through blood translusions. M y appeal to you has more to d o with the message being sent by installing c o n d o m machines at ASU that with the prevention of the spread of AIDS. Those students w h o choose to c o m m i t sexual immorality' 'responsibly" have e a s y enough access to condoms without them being available in the residence halls. Please consider carefully this appeal. Whe n leaders take actions such as this they should weigh carefully the ramifications of their decisions. I repeat, such action send the message that w e should not be sending. O u r universities, our government, o u r churches, o u r newspapers, our television stations, and o u r movie studios desperately need courageous leadership that will stand up and clearly proclaim the right message to the generations of the future. W h a t I a m about to say may be dismissed by many a s s o m e outmoded, Victorian idea, but m y appeal is I that you will at least give it some serious consideration. In m y opinion courageous leadership would take us back to the days when a person 01 the opposite sex w a s not allowed in the d o r m rooms! S o m e might say that such a m o v e is just too radical—besides, people will still be sexually immoral. In closing let m e say t w o things in anticipated response to that: 1.

Shoplifting in our University Bookstore is a growing problem and stricter penalties should be applied to violators. Previously, the bookstore management generously sent these student violators to ASU Student Judiciary where they received minimal sentencing when compared to the consequences which would await them had they been escorted downtown. One of the given norms in society is that people should not take what is not theirs. By the time one reaches an institution of higher learning it is expected that such behavior will cease; however, when it does not' these individuals should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law' In North Carolina, violators of NC Statute 14-72.1, concealment of merchandise in mercantile establishments, may be fined up to $100 and must be sentenced to a term of imprisonment that includes a minimum term of not less than 24 hours and not more than 60 days. If such penalties may be applied to shoplifters in other retail establishments, the same should be applied to student shonlifters. Shoplifting is a serious offense which, if convicted, will remain on the permanent record of the defendant. Fortunately, financial losses incurred through theft at the bookstore lave not affected the prices of student books; however, if something is not done to curb this problem, perhaps price increases will result. Students who witness shoplifting should report these incidents to employees or management of the store. The administration should study the problems of shoplifting in both the bookstore and eating facilities. Prices in food services, particularly in the new Food Court, are astronomically high, and students cannot attoid to subsidize ASU for stolen merchandise. Prescription for Infirmary While the ASU Infirmary has been astoundingly busy with the sud­ den measles epidemic, a better line of communication was needed be­ tween the Watauga County Health Department, the Infirmary and students. Examining over 10,000 records is certainly not easy, and for suc­ cessfully doing this, infirmary employees should be commended; however, there were inconsistencies in this system, which forced many previously immunized individuals to be unneccessarilv re-vaccinated. Students were continually being referred from one station to another, and often the employees were too busy to properly answer questions and listen to student problems. At least one person should ave been available for the sole purpose of addressing these concerns to prevent panic among confused students. Although warning information was distributed to immunized students, it was not comprehensive enough concerning the do's and don t s of post-immunization. An extensive training program should be developed to teach infirmary employees how to handle epidemic situations of this magnitude. All selective cynics must die! If there is one thing in this world which I truly hate, it is a selective cynic. Being someone who never has anything nice to say about anything is okay, but saying nice things only about people like Ollie North is inexcusable. I have noticed a rise in this type of cynicism on campus, and it makes me rather ill. Ah, but hark, I can feel my own cynical darker side cal­ ling. Just who is this God guy anyway? As far as I can tell he is someone who needs a lot of money. Or at least that is what you would think after watching Oral, Jimmy, Jerry and all the rest.

By MARK LATENDRESSE Appalachian Columnist The beginning of a semester is hard on all of us; students, professors, and administration alike. Spring semester is moreso than fall semester due to the relatively short break over the Christmas holidays. I refer to the break as Christmas "holiday" because to many people the major event of the break is Christmas, and "holiday" originates from the Middle English word holidai meaning "Holy day." This "holy day" causes many people to experience post-holiday depression. I believe, among other things, this is caused by the expecta­ tions we place on Christmas. Will we have enough money for the gifts we want to give our friends? Will we give just the "right" gift? Will our spouses, girlfriends, children, and friends be happy with our selections? Or will we disappoint them? Will we like the gifts that we receive? Who will we spend Christmas day with? Will the dinner go well? Will I run out of Beck's beer? All these questions are on our minds. Well, maybe not all of them, but you can get the gist of my meaning. By placing so many expectations on ourselves and our loved ones, we are possibly setting ourselves up for ma­ jor disappointments. Life is difficult during the best of times. Why then do these "holy days" tend to increase the pressure of our existence? Many call it the spirit of giving and believe that this feeling compensates for the added pressure. I believe that we should feel the spirit of giving all year long, not just during this advertisement heyday. Christmas has become a media hype designed to milk as much profit from the public as possible by playing on their "emotions;" emotions which the advertising agencies—as well as Christians—have been brainwashing into our heads since birth. Six days after the excitement of Christmas, we are faced with another "special day" with which we must cope. This, of course, is New Year's Eve and New Year's day. We make such an episode out of this change in years. What really happens is not that spectacular—this year we simply changed the final digit on the number in which our society refers to as "years" anno Domini (A.D.). We still face the problems we had the day before. Nothing really changes except the "year" in which it is occurring. However, we have a problem with change; it is very difficult for some people to accept change. They get comfortable with the way things are and forget that life wasn't always as easy. This difficulty with change, together with the pressures of Christmas, are factors leading to postholiday depression. This depression, coupled along with the pressures of a new semester, can lead to some real trying times for all of us. Many suicides are attempted this time of year because people feel they cannot cope with yet another year of their miserable existence. This needn't hap­ pen. There are many things which can be done to alleviate these negative feelings. Most important of all is to keep a optimistic attitude towards life. The American Heritage Dictionary defines optimism as "A tendency or disposition to expect the best possible outcome or to dwell upon the most hopeful aspects of a situation." Now you know two of the elements of my main idea—professors and optimism. In my last column, I wrote briefly about what I choose to call academic dictators or despots. I want to delve a little deeper into this academic abyss. Many students, not just freshmen and sophomores, but jui.iors and seniors as well, are not aware of their rights as students. They feel threaten­ ed by their instructors. Many students feel intimidated by their pro­ fessors—afraid to confront them. This allows some professors (and I am referring to the exceptions rather than to the rule) to place unreasonable ex­ pectations and demands on their students. Other professors make outrageous statements which are never challenged by their students. Many students take a passive role in their education, following the prescribed curriculum and meeting the minimum requirements necessary for graduation. Is it possible to receive a "liberal education" in this manner? Challenge your pr0|CSior^ them earn their salary, about issues you feel areii they make outrageous just statements you take confront them about it. are here for the students'... the other way around. If a is not treating you as y« deserve to be treated, confri you do not receive reassurance then schedule i a with his chairperson.

When someone comes up with a new idea, it is quickly condemned. We would hate to expand the human mind; let's not try to confuse the old way of think­ ing. Copernicus was crazy for saying the sun was the center of our solar system. He was a Catholic monk and was excommunicated for his wild ways of thinking. Galileo was another nut; he supported Copernicus' theory that the earth did indeed revolve around the sun. Man's resistance to change is caused by his fear of the unknown. If Christopher Columbus had stuck to Ihe old school of thought he never would have discovered the "New World." The maps in those days were drawn flat, and it was thought that the world itself was flat. Nothing existed beyond the horizon. If one was to sail beyond the horizon, he would simply fall off the edge of the world, for nothingness existed beyond the horizon. How could man limit his mind to such ridiculous thoughts? Well, this was the way man had thought since the beginning of time, and no one would dare question such age-old concepts. Unfortunately, we still limit our minds in the same way today, instead ol broadening our horizons with new ideas. We try to shove all these old ways of (hinking into the fresh, untouched mmd of a child, and then they get out into the Real World, only to find what they learned in school doesn't even apply to the Real World, if they learned anything at all! Often, a student's mind is turned off by old ideas which no longer apply. Many teachers continue to teach the same subjects year after year and they eventually become bored. Why not combine subjects to make it more interesting? For example, don't just teach math in math classes; com­ bine math with science. Why not take a jet plane and study the mathematical dimensions, study the aerodynamics, teach the students what allows this monstrosity to defy the law of gravity. I still don't have any idea how a jet engine operates. What I'm trying to say is, make it interesting—stimulate the curiosity. The most important thing one must do in education is excite a student's interest. Stimulate that part of the mind that is most curious, no matter what the subject may be. Some kids are interested in computers, others in music, yet others are most stimulated by race cars. Don't turn a kid off by loreing him to study something which bores him. Allow the student to study a subject which will allow his mind to be stimulated to its fullest capacity. Gnce you get the student's learning capabilities excited, you can introduce other subjects. If you want to get a student truly interested in learning, you have to show you're truly interested in teaching, not just baby­ sitting. Learning should be a lifelong proc­ ess; it should never end. If one is excited about learning from the start, they will surely enjoy expanding their mind's capabilities.

Do we regress in our recently gained knowledge? Do we believe while in our senior year that 75 cents is greater than one dollar?

Of course, we'll receive eight percent interest on the part that we don't have yet. It's a good thing that we're getting that eight percent in­ terest, because we have had to use most of the cash that we received in the beginning to pay real-estate com­ missions and legal fees. Do we now Mieve that—had someone paid us four hundred thousand dollars— which we could have invested at more than eight percent interestwas not to our advantage? If this analogy is true (and it must be true, because our vice-chancellor says it's true) then I am beginning to wonder if we should not all drop out of school now before it is too late, because what is being taught will ruin our future, and all high-school dropouts will be wealthier and smarter than college graduates. So why go through the trouble and struggle to stay in school? Why pay to unlearn what we already know?

UNC System Requesting Faculty Salary Increase £ If a request to the General Assembly comes through, faculty members at Appalachian State - University could see a 20 percent increase in their •salaries over the next two years, Chancellor John ^ •nomas announced. t Thomas said UNC system President C.D. Spangler •s asking the legislature for a 20 percent increase in acuity salaries throughout the system by the 1990-92 school year. He plans to ask for a 12 percent increase or the 1989-90 academic year and an eight percent •icrease the following year. Spangler has said that without salary increases the ools will not be able to attract or retain quality which would cause a decline in the quality of c institutions, Thomas said.

I iii Mhiy .Intuitu \ 24, 1989 Four days before students returned from Christmas break, condom dispensers were installed in the bathrooms of residence hall lobbies. The decision to install the dispensers, SGA Vice President Frank "Moose" Callis said, grew from a bill brought before the Student Senate. According to Callis, ASU is the first university in the state to take the initiative on its own in proposing the con­ dom dispensers. "A lot of schools in the north have already done it, but we're the first in the south. Vermouth proposed it the same day we did, but it didn't pass because there was too much controversy," Callis said. "Now a lot of other schools down here are asking us about it. I think we started a Trend," he added. "The money from the machines will be used to educate people about sex and the dangers of sex, not to promote sex itself," Callis said. The main idea of the condom dispensers is to teach students responsibili ty. "Although abstinence is taught to be the best precaution against sexual-related diseases, it is still the decision of the in­ dividual," he said. "Condoms are a precautionary device against those diseases and should be used by the individual who chooses not to abstain from sex," he added. SGA President Gary Greene said the idea for the condom dispensers first came from several pharmaceutical companies. "Representatives from two companies, Barnetts Inc. and U.S. Pharmaceutical, came to my office, talked to me, and gave me some literature. 1 also knew about other schools where this had been done. I took the matter to Kelli Hammond (Student Af­ fairs Chairperson). She assigned it to.Jenny Novak and Danny Thornton." "They (Novak and Thornton) did exten­ sive research into the matter. . .the proposal was then brought before the (student) Senate, where it went through considerable debate before being passed." Greene said after a bill is passed by the SGA Senate, he then decides to either pass or veto it. After Greene passed the condom bill, it was sent to Vice Chancellor for Stu­ dent Development Dr. David Mclntire, who recommended it and sent it to Chancellor John Thomas. "Its (the bill's) success could be related to the media. After it passed...it hit the papers Wednesday morning. By Thursday, people were calling Chancellor Thomas, who had just got back from Govenor Mar­ tin's AIDS conference where he (Thomas) had spoken on what public institutions could do to help stop the spread of AIDS. He stood up for the bill," Greene said. "The idea was actually approved before it went to Mclntire because of its media ex­ posure. Chancellor Thomas had to make a quick decision on whether he supported or was opposed to the action because of its visibility to State Representatives and parents of ASU students." he added Greene said that 60 to 65 percent of the money received from the sale of the con­ doms will go to the distributing vendor, while the remaining 35 to 40 percent will be used by the university to educate about the dangers of AIDS and other STDs. "How the money is to be spent will be determined by Dr. Ashby," Greene said. "Some things that have been discussed are tapes, literature and programs in the residence halls." Greene said there had been concern ex­ pressed early on that students would have to pay for the dispensers and their installa­ tion cost. According to Greene, this is not the case. The cost of the dispensers and in­ stallation has been covered by the vendor. All dispensers will be serviced weekly. According to Greene, a reporter from Playboy magazine has contacted him about the issue at ASU and said that it will be discussed in the February edition of the magazine. Appalachian Photo by Trey Horatk THEY'RE HERE: The much publicized condom machines were installed in all residence halls over the Christmas Break. They are located in lobby bathrooms in male and female residence halls. The idea origenated with the Student Govern­ ment Association bill last semester. The condom installation makes ASU the first university in North (Carolina to have condom dispensers in their residence halls. Condoms are also available free of charge at Health Services above the Post Of­ fice in the Student Support Building. Four ASU students charged in drug bust By JON JIMISON Appalachian News Editor and JENELIT: AUTRY Assistant News Editor Four ASU students are among 31 persons who have been or will be arrested on drug related charges, which is the culmination of a year-long joint investigation between the Boone Police Department and Watauga County Sheriff's Department. The students are: Paul D. Jones, Jr., 20, of 5675 Hunsford Dr., Winston-Salem, whose charges include conspiracy to sell LSD and trafficking LSD; Michael R. Trout, 21, of 4615 Shenandoah Dr., Fayetteville, whose charges include the sale and delivery of cocaine; Gregory T. Starks, 20, of 5800 Kinney Rd., Lewisville, whose charges include• possession with intent to sell psilocybin mushrooms; and David A. Lee, of Route 2, Box 350, Burlington, whose charges include possession with in­ tent to sell psilocybin mushrooms. All charges are class H felonies which can carry a maximum jail term of 10 years, ex­ cept trafficking LSD, a class G felony, Howard's Knob closed By NICOLE PARSONS Appalachian Staff Writer The Watauga County Parks and Recrea­ tion Department is trying to keep trespassers out of Howard's Knob Park. Several people have already been pro­ secuted for trespassing at the park located on top of Howard's Knob noith of Boone. An unconfirmed number of students and others have been arrested in the last several months for trespassing since the park's clos­ ing on November 1. "Historically every winter it's closed for safety," Director of Parks and Recreation Debra Wynne said. "Whenever we have ice, say three inches up there, overlooks and ramps are very slick and dangerous. There have been several ac­ cidents over the past months and cars will go over the embankment on an average of one every two or three weeks," she added. In addition to the pressing safety factor Wynne says the park closes every year due to the department's lack of funds to ade­ quately supervise the park. This inadequate supervision has lead to not only problems with safety, but also vandalism. "We have quite a bit of vandalism that, occurs, amounting up to about $1,000 every year," she said. After the park is closed, as many as six signs are posted near the entrance and sur­ rounding areas warning people to stay out. In addition, the gate to the entrance is lock­ ed. "There is no way people cannot see those signs," Wynne said. The Watauga County Sheriff's Depart­ ment patrols the area on a regular basis and has issued tickets to intruders. Those discovered trespassing earlier this year were issued citations to appear in court and given community service work to complete. Stiffer fines will be imposed for vandalism and for those who continue to trespass. "This lot of land belongs to the county and if they (the recreation department) don't have adequate safety measures, the coutity stands liable if anyone is injured," Sheriff Redd Lyons said. "The county looks to us to enforce the law and it's part of our job." Howard's Knob Park will reopen on April 1. "We are not into prosecuting people; we encourage them not to trespass because they will be arrested for it," Wynne said. "The main concern here is safety." "As of April 1, students and others are very welcome to go up there," she added. which carries a maximum jail term of 15 years. According to Police Chief Zane Tester, all four have preliminary hearing dates on February 20. "Everybody who has been arrested so far has posted bond," Tester said. The investigation, according to the police chief, targeted drug sellers to high school, university, and local persons._ The undercover operation is expected to result in the arrest of 31 individuals. The first arrests in the case were made January 18 by the local police and Sheriff's depart­ ments. One hundred-fourteen charges have been filed. The operation has also resulted in the confiscation of at least two vehicles; North Carolina law allows for the seizure of per­ sonal property if it is used in the commis­ sion of a felony. Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Development, Barbara Dave, said, "ASU has a drug policy that is consistent with the UNC Board of Governor's Policy." The policy, which was revised this year, states: "Students, faculty members, ad­ ministrators, and other employees are responsible, as citizens, for knowing about A study conducted recently by ASU's Appalachian Consortium will be used in the preservation of the Blue Ridge Parkway's Brinegar Cabin. The cabin, located at milepost 238.5 on the parkway, is the former home of Martii and Caroline Brinegar. The cabin has bee open to the public since the 1930s, when the National Park Service purchased the pro perty from the Brinegar family. The Appalachian Consortium study was done in agreement with th. National Park Service to preserve infointation on the Brinegar farm site and ;o make recommen­ dations for possible improvements to restore the site to a more historically ac­ curate depiction ol early farm life in the region. "The cabin represents in many ways the typical lifestyle of a rural couple in the Southern Highlands at the turn' of the cen­ tury. It reveals the hardships, n t, at the same time, the simple beauty of their lifestyle," Director of the consortium Dr. Barry Buxton said. Eric Swanson, who was a graduate stu­ dent in Appalachian's industrial education and technology department when the study was done, completed a historic building survey on three buildings on the Brinegar property—the cabin, granary and spring house. The structures were built in 1880 and See DRUG BUS I Page 2 Business internships By LISA GRIFFITH A|>|»il:i<liiaii Mall Wriler The College of Business is now taking applications for scholarships for next year.

A livestock barn no longer exists. The farm has been maintained as an ex­ hibit since 1937.

After she did not The show, titled "From My Grand­ mother's Grandmother Unto Me," was the story of Ross and the four previous generations of her family. The story began with a brief in­ troduction by Ross followed by her sudden transition into the character of her great-great-grandmother, Fan­ nie Elenora Strawn Tyler, who vividly described the daily lives of her and her husband, Hyden Tyler. The expressions of Ross' voice realistically depicted the character of Fannie; between Fannie's discourse, Ross's voice and characterization changed to portray her great-great­ grandfather, Hyden Tyler. The tension of facial muscles, voice fluctuations and differing postures of each character made these transitions easy for the audience to follow. The final part of Fannie's perfor­ mance was the introduction of her daughter, Clara Tyler, who disgraced the family by becoming the first divorced woman in the county. Halfway through her explanation of this embarassment, Ross changes into Clara and completes the explanation of the divorce. Again, Ross' unbelievable perfor­ mance stunned the audience as Clara begins to tell the story of her divorce and eventual second marriage to Everette Swanson. Although she had a child from her previous marriage, Clara and Everett wanted to begin a family of their own. Clara tells the story of her blissful pregnancy and the excitement of her husband, who pampered her con­ stantly and made toys for their un­ born child. The story ends in tragedy, however, when their baby boy is stillborn. Clara and Everett do not have children, which prompts Clara into discussing her only child, Willie Sue Woody. Again, Ross changes into Willie Sue and describes her introduc­ tion and marriage to Carl Burke Tanksley. — — — — = B receive a tricycle for Christmas one year, Hyden Tyler was determined to find her one. After an unsuccessful search through their own town, Hyden and Charlotte get on a bus headed for the big city. Because he is blind and Charlotte is too young to know better, Hyden Tyler finds himself in the women's bathroom, and he and Charlotte are eventually escorted downtown to the police station. After a police officer drives them home, Charlotte's parents immediately buy her a tricycle to avoid such incidents in the future.

ASU's spastic sleuth reveals all In The Secret Life Of Quentin Compson By LEATHA L. FIELDS Appalachian Staff Writer I'm sure you all remember everyone's best friend, Monsieur Quentin Compson, the character who aggravated, degraded, and provoked everyone within reach. What a guy. Within the pages of this very newspaper, the persona of Quentin Compson offended the sensibilities of nearly everyone. But Quentin made some extremely valid points. He challenged us to question our beliefs and hopefully validate them. And his top-ten lists were hysterical. 1 admired the hell out of Quentin's work, so I decided to track him down, trace him to his hideout, figure out his identity, have a deep, meaningful conversation with him. Wow. The thrill of it all! So I hung around Workman Hall, hoping to catch ai glimpse of a strange character in somber clothing with a hat pulled over his brow, discreetly slipping another feisty manuscript under the door of The Appalachian editor. I saw no such person, and my fingers a secret back office, smoking Marlboros and wearing Ray-Bans. Please, I thought, just lead me to Quentin. Don't talk to me.

I hung around on Sanford Mall wearing a long black overcoat. Passersby heard a low hiss— "Psst.. .wanna buy a watch?" They would approach me. I would hold a pistol to their chest and sneer, "Dam­ mit, I know you know who Quentin is. . tell me or eat lead." This finally worked after hundreds of Appalachian students were terrorized. (I apologize, but 1 was desperate.) My lead summoned me to the third floor of the library. As I climbed the steps, breathless with anticipation, I envi­ sioned a devastatingly handsome, rugged, embittered cynic crouching in We would lock eyes, feel a secret kin­ ship, fall into each other's arms, fall madly in love, die a violent death in the prime of our lives, etc. one hand and blowing his nose with the handerkerchief he held in the other.

POTEAT Appalachian Staff Writer The screams tear down these sanitary white walls and corridors just as they tear through my soul. They rip my heart open and they mock me. Mock ME. Paint the walls white again, I can still see the filth on them, on me. The filth lines my soul; it smells, it makes me sick. The bile fills my nose and my head, making me vomit at the presence of myself. I cracks, but most hide in me. 1 remember every scream I have heard in this place, and every soul it cries out for. The screams haunt me every waking second, and consume me as I fall asleep. I dream dreams which last for days. At least I think they are dreams. Or maybe they are real and this is a dream. I dream of a little girl who is being raped by a brutal man. Her screams tear through me, just as through my walls into my tiny room. Alice, - ®01 'nt0 a disagreement with my •0 mate the other day.

Ross, Jr. At this point, Clarinda herself begins to tell tales of her unique childhood with her mother, who is a professional story­ teller, and her father, who was a popular history professor and direc­ tor for the Center of Appalachian Studies at ASU until his death last August. Ross expressed her grief at his passing, an extremely touching moment in the performance. In closing, Ross encouraged everyone to discover a bit about their own ancestrial backgrounds through storytelling. "The average life of a story," she said, "is only five generations." This performance was outstanding, and reminded me of one of my favorite local writers, Lee Smith. Smith's novel, Oral History, delves into each generation of the Cantrell family, who lived in Hoot Owl Holler, a place in the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia. I would strongly en­ courage anyone who enjoyed Ross' performance to read this novel. If you missed this rare perfor­ mance, don't worry. Ross, a Boone native, will more than likely be in town again next year. I'm sorry father, I'm trying to do as you have told me. They hate me, they won't listen to me. They call me crazy, they call me a liar. haven't eaten in days. To look at food repulses me, to look at you repulses me. Build the walls thicker around me, for I can still hear the screams. I can still smell them—rotting. They want to make me one of them, they say I already am. They don't know how close they are to being right; I don't know how close they are to being right. The walls around me absorb every scream they hear, and some that they don't hear. They save the screams for one of those rare moments when there is quiet, and then they unleash them on me. The screams burrow into my head, reverbing into my conscience, and attaching themselves like parasites. The screams doubt me, they call me a liar. They call me crazy, I call them lost. I try to ignore the screams, but they're in my every thought. They are my every thought. They have become the catalvst for my being. Screams pour into my tiny room without any ever leaving me. Instead, they hide in corners and The voice beckons me, I must act. 1 do act, but before I think. The rage within me is bellowing through my muscles; it is too much for me to han­ dle. I stand above him crying, and then I grab him—and he is dead. The blood from my victim washes over me; it makes me sick. But at the same time it excites me, the adrenaline feels good. I have done my duty; I have saved her. 1 reach down to pick up the little girl and she screams at me. She hits me. There was no physical pain, but there is a much more severe one. Why did she hit me? 1 saved her, she should be thankful. She screams at me, "You killed my father!" My father; My father, which... Your father, not mine. Not my father. Everyone screams at me: the mother, the family, the policeman, and the judge. They persecute me, and 1 scream. I wake up to find myself here, wherever it is. I've heard the man in the white coat say that it was just south of Haven, wherever it is. It's "robably filthy too. Filthy, filthy—south of Haven. Filthy—my hair. It sticks to my sweaty neck; it stinks. My breath stinks. I breathe in divine inspiration and breathe out sin. A machine inside me does the converstion. All of my internal organs have been eaten away by the screams, as well as my flesh. My bones look like they were painted over with flesh-tone oil paint. I am filthy. I am so far from the clean, white light of my arrival. My father; My father, who sent me here to—save. To save. And that is what I have tried to do, believe me father. I am misunderstood. I am here to do good: to save. The clean, white light shone in my face through the airplane window, hypnotizing me, calling me. Then the clean, white light came through the window and struck one side of the small commuter plane. One of the two engines was dead, as were four of the eight passengers. The pilot told us that the plane was going to crash because the engine couldn't pull the weight. Our only chance of survival was to decrease the weight, to throw the dead passengers off. We all agreed on this, but I was the one who began throwing the bodies from the plane. I had to live; I have much work to do. And as I threw the last body off the plane, his hand grasped for mine and he screamed. I instinctively pulled back and watched him fall. He fell with his arms spread open, his legs crossed, and blood trickling down his face. He screamed. He is still scream­ ing. I screamed. Then the pilot screamed at me, and then the rest of the passengers screamed at me. When we landed they screamed at me and took me to jail. They said I was being charged with first degree murder. 1 woke up to my door being opened. It was the man in the white coat. He was speaking, I was trying to listen but the me. They call me crazy, they call me a liar. Yes father, I will do as yon have said. He is angry with me. The light is brighter. screams were drowning him out. He started screaming at me. He screamed; I screamed. Jesus, how are you today? 1 am fine. Do you still hear the screams, Jesus? Yes. Will you eat today? No. Why Not? Why Not? Why Not? 1 continue to preach. I scream at them as loud as I can and all they do is twitch their head from side to side and laugh hysterically. I hit one of them He faded away, and so did I. This time I began dreaming of a highway I was hitchhiking on. I was walking towards the clean, white light. I don't know why. I never reach it; it is too elusive.

I am scared. He screams at me, "I am Jesus." The lights get brighter; I begin to shake. I tell him that I am Jesus, that 1 am his saviour. He hits me. I fall to the ground. I scream.

ASU breezes past the Buccaneers Jeff Turner By SHELLEY KAEHR Appalachian Kdilor Ys in the Despite a comeback attempt by the Bucs in the second half, the Moun­ taineers kept a consistent lead, crushing the ETSU Buccaneers in a 91-70 victory last Saturday in Johnson City. "I thought the key was we didn't give them many second shots in the first half," ASU Coach Tom Apke said. "We had enough offensive re­ bounds of our own to keep them from running the yvay they preferred," he added. Ronnie Christian led the Apps by contributing a total of 18 points, followed by Ben Miller and Rodney Peel with 16 points each and Kenny Phillips with 13 points, ten of which were scored in the second half. a lumbers -j-he NCAA is trying to make the Vjent-athlete smarter again and a of people don't like it. Proposal set to go into effect in 1990, has "hes such as Georgetown's John >£*^mpson walking out and refusing 'coach games in protest. Thomp^ missed two games during his so'jled boycott and in doing so, he 'ined national coverage on ESPN 'd called the issue of the proposal t he press and subsequently to the it ion. The controversy stems from a law • ssed by the NCAA in 1985 called Proposition 48. The law states that lComing student-athletes must have fiigh school grade point average of O in a core curriculum of 11 sub-ts. They must also score 700 out a possible 1600 on the Scholastic aptitude Test or a 15 out of 36 on r American College Test.

ASU shot 60 percent in the first half and shot an astonishing 50 per­ cent from the three-point line as they shot five for ten. The halftime score was 43-32, giv­ ing ASU an 11-point advantage over the Bucs. "It was a good feeling to walk in at halftime and know we were up by 11 points," Phillips said. "We felt there was no way they could beat us and outscore us by 12 points in the second half," he added. In a futile comback attempt, the Buccaneers reduced the Mountaineer advantage lead to just four midway in the second half. "Not only had they cut into our lead, but we were fighting foul troubles," Apke said. "We wanted to emphasize patience then, because that was a key for us," he added. With 7:19 left to play, ASU was up 61-56. In the final five minutes of play, ETSU began fouling, and ASU made 12 of 14 free throws in the final 4:49, leading twice by 21 points. Even the comeback by the Bucs was not enough to stop the hot-shooting Apps, which finished the second half shooting 61 percent from the field. Appalachian travels to Liberty to take on the Flames, who they defeated earlier this year by a score of 95-77. Then its back to the conference race against Marshall, who is current­ ly 2-2 in the conference. Lady Apps blast Buccaneers By PAUL L. CARROLL Appalachian Slaff Writer Appalachian Photo by Keith Harrison SLAMMING IT TO 11-3: Ben Miller slams the ball tor two points in the Mountaineer win over Davidson College last Wednesday. The win booted the Apps record to 11-3, and the Mountaineers went on to beat ETSU on Saturday. Miller, a 6'6" forward from Winston-Salem, is one of the main reasons for the ASU turnaround in basketball this year. Over the past week, the Lady Mountaineer basketball team came of age. A win on the road against East Tennessee State 92-69 and a comefrom-behind victory over TennesseeChattanooga 82-68 signals the end of the Lady Apps early-season funk and their re-emergence as the power in the Wrestlers pin down season By DAVID LAWRENCE Appalachian Slaff Wriler This year's Appalachian State wrestling team has wrestled well at times and not so well at times; however, it is showing promise, and may finish near the top part of the Southern Conference. The Mountaineer wrestlers are 5-3. They have beaten Gardner-Webb, Winston-Salem (twice), Morgan State, and Virginia. Two of their losses have been close ones. The Mountaineers were defeated by Carson-Newman 20-13, and were edged by Liberty 20-17. The other defeat came at the hands of nationally ranked N.C. State 31-6. "Right now we're 5-3, but could very easily be 6-2 or 7-1," head wres­ tling coach Paul Mance said. "We've just lost to two teams we shouldn't have." This year's team is a young one, with only two regularly starting seniors. Seniors Mike Maxam, with a 11-4-1 record, and Chris Zwilling, with a 13-5-0 record, are off to good starts. Maxam lost a close match to the third ranked wrestler in the country at the Sunshine Open in Tampa, Fla. "We have tough kids, not national­ ly ranked but very capable of being ranked in the top twenty," Mance said. With only two seniors, some of the starting weight classes have been filled by juniors Rock Burch, Jay Leo, and Jevon Morris. The rest of the spots are manned by sophomores Antonio Calloway and Eddie Gist and freshmen Adrian Hines and Corey Creech. Mance had high praise for Hines. "He (Hines) is one of the best freshmen to come here in a long time," Mance said. Mance is pleased with the rest of the team's effort at this point in the season as well. "We're a good team, not nationally ranked like Tennessee-Chattanooga, but still a good team," he said. Tennessee-Chattanooga is favorea to win the Southern Conference, but the Mountaineers aren't giving up anything. If Chattanooga has some key injuries and the Mountaineers stay healthy, anything can happen. Injuries have already hurt Ap­ palachian in the early part of the season. There were several other wrestlers hurt during the Wolfpack duals, where ASU picked up a win against Virginia. Several other wrestlers were injured at the Sunshine Open, where Appalachian finished twelfth out of 40 teams competing. The Mountaineer wrestlers have two home matches remaining this season: a big conference match against nationally ranked TennesseeChattanooga on February 2, and a match against Carson-Newman on February 16. So find time to come out and support the Appalachian State wrestling team. Southern Conference. Last Wednesday, ASU traveled to Johnson City to take on the Lady Bucs of ETSU. Behind the offense of Beth Laney and the rebounding of Shannon Thomas, the Lady Moun­ taineers ran ETSU off the court 92-69. Around the conference, ETSU is known as a running team. True to form, the Lady Bucs started the game using the entire court, pressing the Lady Apps on defense and trying to fast break on offense. ASU proved early and often they can run the floor as well as any team in the Southern Conference. The Lady Apps used their own defensive pressure and a well-executed break to take a 49-35 halftime lead. ETSU kept themselves in the game only on the three-point shooting of Jennifer Cooke. Cooke hit four of six attempts from three-point land in the first half. The second half was a defensive gem for ASU. Shannon Thomas, a freshman forward, controlled the boards at both ends of the court, eventually finishing the game with a career-high 17 rebounds. Senior Beth Laney once again led all ASU scorers with 18 points. The Lady Mountaineers used their superior bench skills and versatility to great advantage. Val Morgan and Jimma Smith contributed their best games of the year. Every ASU player scored at least two points. Head Coach Linda Robinson brought the Lady Mountaineers into the game against the Lady Mocs of UTC ready to play. Playing an emo­ tional game, the Lady Apps came back from a 10-point deficit to win 82-68. Before the game, the scene was set for inspired ASU play. Laney was recognized for scoring 1000 points in her career. The forward from Maiden, NC is currently sixth on the all-time scoring list at ASU. In the early going against UTC, ASU had difficulty with the Lady Mocs' strong inside play. The Lady Apps fought back using their superior outside shooting. With 6:05 left in the first half, Kim Johnson hit a three-point shot to put her over the 1000-point mark for her career. Johnson, a senior forward from Greensboro, played what could be considered her finest offensive game against UTC. She not only broke 1000 points, but also led all scorers with 26 points and was a perfect two for two from the threepoint line. Momentum seemed to go ASU's way late in the first half until UTC's Marcheta Winton hit a last second three-point shot to put the Lady Mocs ahead 43-36. Through the first 10 minutes of the second half, the outside shooting of Debbie Swicegood and Johnson served only to keep ASU in the con­ test. After a bench technical foul was called on UTC, ASU showed the most character of the season and proceeded to run away from the Lady Mocs and win 82-68. "We had fun this afternoon in the last 10 minutes. Our guards were ready to take control of the ballgame. Joanie Brackett knew what we wanted from our offense. She executed our offense and did what we wanted to do," Robinson said. "UTC took us out of our offense See LADY APPS Page 6 'lave be d°ne' Lool< at the ^^•UckvSCvnda'S First half scores were close in the beginning with a 15-15 tie in the first seven minutes of gametime.

"We had lost our first two con­ ference games on the road and you've got to beat teams on the road to be successful. We took the crowd out of the game early, and we did what we had to do," he added.

The meet featured tough competition from all over the southeast. Teams competing were North Carolina, North Carolina State, St. Augustine, Norfolk State, and Appalachian State. The Lady Apps set four school records in the meet. Lamonda Miller led the way by setting a school record in the 60-yard dash. Also setting school records were Michelle Rhyne in the shot put and Sabrina Hill in the triple jump. Currently, the Mountaineers have three traeksters who have qualified for nationals: Rhyne in the shot put, Hill in the triple jump and Miller in the 60-yard dash. Vanessa Tysor had a good day in the 800-yard run, finishing first and beating out teammate Laura Ciirouard, who finished fourth. The Lady Mountaineers are cur­ rently doing very well in the Southern Conference race. Michelle Rhyne is second in the conference in the shot put. Deirdre Keyes leads the con­ ference in the long jump and in the triple jump, Sabrina Hill is first in the conference with teammate Linda McKoy close behind in second. The high jump is also being dominated by Appalachian. Linda McKoy is first in the conference and Sabrina Hill is sec­ ond, a flip-flop of the triple jump standings. In the running events, Lamonda Miller is leading the conference in the 60-yard dash. Lynett Farmer is right behind Miller in second. The 60-yard hurdles have Tammy Pearsall and Lynne Ray second and third in the conference. Tysor is third in the 880 yard run, and the mile relay team of Girouard, Davis, Mclntyre, and Tysor are currently holding on to the top spot in the mile relay. Lamonda Miller will be running in the Kodak Invitiationals at ETSU this Friday and the rest of the women's team will compete in the University meet on Saturday. Coach Weaver is proud of the team's accomplishments and is looking forward to the con­ ference crown. "The team has made good strides and their performances are getting better. We are looking to the indoor season as a springboard to the outdoor season," Weaver said. On the men's side, Jason Sprouse placed 7th in the 5,000-meter run. In the mile, Dave Ess placed 8th and ran a personal best of 4:21.4. Frank Allen had a great meet and finished second in the 200 with a run of 21.8.

Then you should be familiar with the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a Special Olympian. You know all about Special Olym­ pics;.you say you have heard the same things over and over: the eontribulions, the giving process, and' the receiving process. But do you really know the people behind the Special Olympics? Well, this month, Special Olympians have come from all over the country to participate in the Inter­ national Games. Ricky Ledford of "cheTl County and Christopher Beal of Alleghany County will be among the many athletes to par­ ticipate. The events are being held at Appalachian Ski Mountain and Ski Hawksnest. The same mountain that we attend and find eloquent is an astonishing giant for the Olympians. 4 * On the mountain, these individuals are able to find themselves and the inner strength that carries them from day to day. Just like you and me, these Olympians find peace, serenity and freedom in the blowing of the snow and wind. Just like each snowflake is different, every individual is different. All of us need lo be different, yet at the same lime we need to be similar to everyone else. Being wanted and accepted is of great importance today. This month is not like most other months. These special Olympians will face controversial changes. But we as a society, should offer support and courage in helping our friends accomplish something for the very first time. Many of the athletes have not yet skied. For them, this will be a great event. The event lasted two days. The first day consisted of training and execu­ tion while the next morning involved more practice. I ater that afternoon, I he races began. These Olympians are great. They are filled with such vibrancy and Numbers Continued from Page 5 undeserving players. Although it is a good proposal, it does have one major flaw. The students who don't receive athletic scholarships will be eligible for financial aid. This means that the federal government and the taxpayers will have to foot the bill and the athletic departments will actually save money under the new law. This could mean that coaches will probably be hounding financial aid workers trying to get money and filling out forms for their players. John Thompson and Ohio State's basketball coach Gary Williams think that the new rule will cause Track meet Continued from Page 5 500, Allen Brooks and Curtis Lowe finished third and fourth, respective­ ly. Brooks' time was the third fastest in ASU history and Lowe's was the fourth. In the 3000 meters, the Moun­ taineers finished first and second. Dean Duncan crossed the line with a time of 829.9 and Pete Vandeberg ran it in 834.1. Coach A1 Fereshetian felt good Lady Apps enthusiasm. Everybody on the slopes is a winner. Not necessarily all the best athletes are chosen to represent communities. As in any sporting event behavioral conduct and attitudes play a major pan in the suc­ cess of the Olympians. Also, with the love and constant support of their parents, the children are able to focus on a different offset of life J t m FrunCh Swiss Ski C(ll|cge and The North Carolina Special Olympics continue in their kindness in support­ ing the Southeastern Regional Games. The athletes may move on to part'cipate in the Regional and Interna­ tional Games in the future with a lot or time and hard work. Have you ever looked into the mir­ ror and did not like what you saw?

'Aafcfo th^se men hopb'Tb accomplish by banning abortion? Suchion would merely encourage the development of unsanitary "erground operations which would endanger women's lives.

Should you drive in Boone? Everyone who plans to drive in Boone ought to have to have a special license. I say this because driving here is different from the way they taught me it would be in driver's education. As a matter of fact, since I first arrived in Boone three years ago I have greatly changed the way in which I drive. So in the spirit of brotherly (and sisterly) love, 1 have decided to prepare a list of the things you need to know if you are new to Boone's highways. 1. Never, ever, stop at yellow lights. This is a car­ dinal sin here and would probably cause your rear bumper to be smashed in after a day or so. Along these same lines, if possible, run a red light or two once in a while. This not only makes other drivers respect you, but it also gives Boone's finest something to do besides hand out tickets. 2. If you are about to make a left turn, and there is no left turn lane, make one. This is especially true if you are driving on 321 when it is two lane (around McDonald's). Failure to adhere to this rule may result in explicit profanity being hurled at you from angry drivers waiting behind you. 3. When turning left onto a busy four lane highway use the center lane for an acceleration ramp. This is especially helpful when things like Family Day are going on. Or if you are late for class and can't get out of the K-Mart parking lot, it's a real lifesaver 4. Don't use turn signals. If you do, it will pro­ bably just confuse all the other drivers anyway. 5. As a eeneral principle, avoid all cars with Eric Miller Florida tags, i nis doesn't always apply since many ASU students are Floridians and know how to drive here. But, more often than not, it is ma and pa Ket­ tle driving around to see the sights at 20 mnh. 6. Road construction in Boone is not just a reali­ ty; it is a way of life. So, if you have to get somewhere in a hurry, you may as well plan on at least one "flagman ahead" sign. 7. Despite the above, potholes are also a way of life in Boone. Knowing this should give you a big edge on avoiding them over those who don't. Not only that, but if you are skillful enough, you can even force other drivers to hit them. Just for fun. 8. When turning left off of Rivers Street into the stadium parking lot, go as soon as you possibly can, even if you have to pull in front of an 18 wheeler. This may seem a bit dangerous, but until someone has the sense to put a turning lane and arrow there, it's the only way. 9. If you plan to park in uptown Boone, good luck! Unless you are an expert parallel parker (and so few of us are), then you are going to have serious problems parking your BMW during rush hour. 10. I saved the most important one for last. Anyone driving in Boone ought to at least have snow tires. This is the absolute minimum. In fact, a four wheel drive Bronco is occasionally the order of the day. Snow and ice are the only things that are real certainties in a Boone forecast in the winter, so don't expect your 1966 Chevy Nova to go anywhere up here from December through March. There is nothing more irritating than getting behind some idiot in a rear wheel drive gas guzzler with slick tires trying to go up a mountain in the snow. They can hold up traffic for miles. A professor of mine brought up an interesting point the other day. What were the road conditions like the day you took your driver's test? Yeah, me too. Nice, and sunny—or at least certainly not snowing. How do we know that a sixteen-year-old who just got their license won't be driving in Boone in a foot of snow the next week? Now, probably a lot of you are saying, "well, I waited plenty long to get my license, and I think it is stupid to suggest that the laws to get it were lax." I agree, and I am not suggesting that driver's licenses should be harder to get. I am simply saying that people who know that they will be driving in bad weather should make a special effort to be prepared for it. Anyway, what I am really trying to say in this ar­ ticle is that driving in Boone requires some special skills. Maybe some of you consider yourselves ex­ perienced Boone drivers and would like to give some more tips to our readers. If so, just write a let­ ter to the editor. After all, if you don't like the way others drive, then why not tell them how. Condoms are no substitute for abstinence Read By WILLIAM E. O'FLAHERTY Appalachian Columnist If each of us lived our world in a vacuum, then what one did would not affect another. But it's obvious that no one is totally isolated ffom being affected1 or influenced by someone else. In fact, each of us is influenced by countless variables on a daily basis. Because of this, when someone is struck with a problem, many others can also be affected. Examples of such problems are excessive drinking, obesity, smoking, drug use, and pro­ miscuous sexual activity (which leads to sexually transmitted diseases (STD's)). These problems can range from having modest to momentous ramifications to the persons directly and indirectly involved. Either way, appropriate measures which are responsible need to be carried out to deal with any of these problems. This means looking for a possible root to the problem and seeking to deal with thai aspect. If this is done, then there will be a less likelihood of further complications or struggles with the problem; not to mention that a more severe plight could be avoided. With this in mind, let's think over each of the problems that were men­ tioned and ask what would be the most ideal treatment for those who voluntarily sought their solution. If a person decides to get help with a drinking problem, would an ideal treatment or solution be to create before wasting all your change this some kind of pill or device that absorbs the potentially dangerous effects of excessive intoxication? How about a person who wishes to lose weight. Would an ideal appry^fh be' t6''invent a special drink that neutralizes the calories after they are ingested? creates the problem or potential prob­ lem. At first thought the use of condoms is a great idea. It's kind of like the old saying, "having your cake and eating it too." The logic is people are going to do "it" anyway. Right? Sure they are, but some people are going to rape If a person decides to get help with a drink­ ing problem, would an ideal treatment or solu­ tion be to create some kind of pill or device that absorbs the potentially dangerous effects of excessive intoxication? What about the person who wants to quit smoking or quit using drugs because they are aware of the selfdestructive nature of their use. Would the ideal way of helping them be to assure them that it's their own life and not to worry about what the conse­ quences are to their's or anyone else's life as long as they enjoy themselves? If the answers to these questionnaire obviously no, then why is it seemingly presented that the ideal way to fight the problem of sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) is the use of con­ doms? Logically, if there are negative consequences which result from some type of behavioral choice, then the ideal solution would be to decrease or eliminate the chosen behavior which Patj QijaYue's frRsr DaY as PReSiPeNT or steal things or exceed the speed limit. Does that mean we should make it easier for people to do these things? If not, then why not? Following the same logic, (as Franky Schaeffer does in his essay, "The Case For Rape") not only should rape be made legal but let's go ahead and make it "safer" by establishing special clinics or places in hospitals where the rapist and rapee can go and have sex. That way, either person can receive any medical treat­ ment needed after they interact. What about the people who have the desire to exceed the speed limit most of the time? Don't you think someone should invent special tires and brakes for these people's cars? That way, if they insist on continuing such behavior, they can do so know­ ing that, if they wish, special tires and brakes can be put on their car to help them stop quicker when impending danger is near. After all, isn't this the main reason there are speed limits? They are set to follow the natural laws of gravity. Could it be there are some natural laws in regards to sexual activity? If so, then following them would seem to be the most ideal greater likelihood of passing blood when kissing. If the person was infected with the AIDS virus it can "pass into the blood stream of the other partner.", f an you imagiqp con­ doms for the mouth? Or wouldn't it be easier to ask your partner, "Excuse me, do you have any tiny lesions in your mouth?" If they answer no, then no further embarrassing questions need be asked, and the two of you can go to town. It seems to me that there might be a better way to overcome all such prob­ lems. Let's face up to the real issues and follow what we know is right. That means to do more than to say we believe that abstinence is the best way to avoid STD's. It's a real nice thing to say. But, I can say that I believe I can fly like a plane, however, until I prove that, what I believe is just plain cheap talk. It's not enough to just say, "I have a hard time selling abstinence," or that "Abstinence is the sure cure for AIDS" as some top officials for the university have. We need to see some action! So, I submit that if there is a belief in abstinence being the ideal defense against AIDS and other STD's then those who believe this way should act like it and see about providing some type of programs to promote abstinence and to help people who wish to choose this method. After all, it's actions that speak louder than words! And the actions I've seen are saying something different than the words I've heard spoken. When I checked around about the possibilities of such programs since returning this semester, the responses have been somewhat positive. The bottom line, however, has been (at least, so far) that other actions cannot be taken be taken until the condom machines generate enough money to pay for themselves. After that we get It's kind of like the old saying, "having your cake and eating it too." The logic is people are going to do "it" anyway. Right? edSTeirt'® RXW MTN. CPS method. This, of course, means abstaining from premarital or extramarital sex. But, with the recent action of the approval of condom machines in the residential halls bathrooms, it doesn't seem that those in the various leader­ ship positions truly believe in the abstinence choice. In case you haven't been to the restiooms on campus, let me be the first to let you know that the condom machines are already there. What kind of action will be taken now that the Journal of the American Medical Association has very recently |stated that "passionate kissing cannot be considered a 'safe' and 'protective' sexual activity..." as reported in the Winston-Salem JournaP From the study, it was found that subjects who had tiny lesions in their mouth have a 40% of the money which will be used to provide other means (yet undeter­ mined) of fighting STD's. I also found out that Health Services (according to Dr. Ashby) presently has no materials to encourage abstinence. They are anticipating the campus ministries will inform them of some. I just hope no one cries out in protest when a majority of material will have some type of appeal to Christian principles and that the best way to follow them is to consider becoming a Christian. If they do then I'll just utilize the same logic that is used on justifying the condom machine in the residential halls. Which is to say that such material does not promote someone becoming a Christian any more than the presence of condom machines pro­ motes promiscuous activity. �I/'/' \ t \ t I " I Don't complain Are you licensed to gripe?

According to Greene, Student Union expansion will begin in the next three or four years. "Phase two of the Student Union will be built from the existing Student Union to Workman Hall," Greene said. At that time, all of the functions currently housed in Workman Hall—including The Ap­ palachian, The Rhododendron and SGA—will move into the expanded Student Union. "It will be necessary to tear down Workman Hall (to make room for the expansion)," Mclntire said. Workman Hall was built in 1940 at a cost of $266,000. It was originally an apartment building for faculty, then it became a women's residence hall. In 1971, Workman Hall was developed into a Student Develop­ ment Center. "We are fortunate in that we have Workman Hall right now. We have much more space for student offices than other schools," Mclntire said. The space in the new facility will be more streamlined than the existing facilities in Workman.

However, during the December meeting of the Town Council when the make-up of the proposed commit­ tee was to be finalized, the idea of the committee was voted down. According to Greene, this move was unexpected: "I went in there with the assumption that it was already established tiiat we were going to have a committee and all we were going to talk about was who the members of that committee were going to be." According to Councilman Velnia Burnley, Councilman James Marsh moved that the motion be tabled until "The motion that had been put torward had been passed for them to go ahead and send it to committee, but then Velma (Burnley) stood up and she said that she didn't think that it was right because it hadn't had a whole year to see if it (the ordinance) would work," SGA Vice President Frank Callis said. "By doing what she did," Greene said, "she ingored some of what her constituents were telling her which is not doing her job," Greene said "1 think that the reason that it was asked to be tabled was the idea of the committee came up from the floor without any time to consider who should be on it and that sort of • -5 -fft I'. 9 ' ? • i Workman Hall will be destroyed to make room (or expansions to the existing Student Union, lite ex pansion will not be immediate; it will begin within the next three or four years.

Some students admitted to Ap­ palachian in the last three years will also need to be revaccinated. State health officials decided that the vac­ cine is most effective if given after 15 months of age, rather than at one year old, which the law specified. County health workers are examining the 12,000 folders in Student Health Ser­ vices to determine which students were vaccinated before 15 months of age. A.SU seniors need to report to Stu- realistic look at what they really need," Mclntire said. "We've been fortunate to have a lot of room. We'll go more toward functional space," Greene said. The Student Union is presently 49,000 square feet. Current plans are to double its size. Workman Hall's gross area is 17,890 square feet. The committee began advertising for architects on January 2. A sub­ committee headed by Greene will begin reviewing those who applied to­ day. They will make recommenda­ tions to the committee, which will in­ terview the architects recommended by the subcommittee. "What will determine cost is the size of the building," Greene said. He added the students will not currently be charged for the expansion. "They're going to wait a few years before they start charging students," Greene said. "I feel particularly good that so many students have been involved with the planning process," Mclntire said. "I wish we would have started this a couple of years ago so our students (who are here now) could enjoy the expanded facility," he added. Hassler said. "Our main concern is human safety." Physical Plant Work Coordinator Walt Lewis said an outside contract was drawn with Greene's Construc­ tion Company of Boone to replaster the ceilings, lay new floor tiles and in­ stall a new window and door in room 707. The total cost of these repairs came to approximately $2,200. Director of Residence Facilities Doug Canipe said in addition to the repairs contracted by the Physical Plant, ASU concentrated with several other companies to complete the cleanup. Cherokee Products Inc. of Barium Springs, NC received a con­ tract of $3,400 for the replacement of furniture; Gardner Paint Company of Johnson City, Tenn. was contracted for $5,400 to repaint the seventh Door; Service Master Inc. of Boone, $7,800 for smoke cleanup. Approx­ imately $4,000 was spent for electrical work and other miscellaneous ex­ penses. The total cost for repairs due to the fire is estimated to be $22,800. Canipe said although there was a loss of personal property, he could not give an estimation of the replace­ ment cost. According to Canipe, the residents of room 707 lost 95-98 percent of their belongings. Other seventh floor residents also lost property due to smoke and water damage. "As soon as we can come up with all the repair receipts, we will turn in a claim to the insurance company," Canipe said. "The fire was not caused by negligence on the part of the girls (in room 707). I have been told that it was caused by a short in a cord that ran under one of the beds and had a nick in it." ASU has fire insurance with the N.C. Department of Insurance. According to Canipe, all residents of seventh floor with the exception of room 707 were allowed to move into their room at 10 a.m. on Sunday, December 19. Room 707 remains unoccupied while minor repairs are being completed. "I think the emergency personnel are to be commended," safety officer Dr. Evan Rowe said. "They acted swiftly and efficiently. Our system worked as it was supposed to." THE OLD DROP-ADD LINE!: According to Registrar Brooks McLeod, this year's drop-add process ran rather well. Over 8,800 students were registered with a prepaid schedule before the process began. There were lines Tuesday, but according to McLeod, 90 percent of the line was made up of students who already had a full schedule but wished to make a change. This year, at the request of SGA, the Registrar's Office tried to do registration by class status. All remaining classes that are added are considered late adds and must have a permission slip signed by the chairperson of a student's ap propriate department. According to McL.eod, drop-add in the future might be supplemented by telephone registration. He added that while the lines were long, they moved fast don't want to accept that or at least Miss Burnley doesn't want to accept it," Callis said. Burnley objects to the idea of set­ ting up a committee. "My first objection to the comittee was the committee had no charge. It was just a committee to study the or­ dinance, and my question to everyone was what will be the charge of the committee," she said. According to Burnley, she would prefer that the Student Government study the current noise ordinance 'as is' and then tome to the Town Coun­ cil and make recommendations con­ cerning the ordinance. "The T own Council as I see it does not have to form a committee," Burnley said. "A group could form into a committee and say this is totally unfair or unreasonable or doesn't meet the needs or we would like to add a permit party permit-process, whatever and come with those recom­ mendations to the Town Council and present them." "We have proposals all set up," Callis said. "We did the thing that will give them the most leeway. 1 think our administration takes the at­ titude that we want to work with peo­ ple and not try to work over them. You know, not try to say that this is the way it is and this is what we want. We thought we gave them rnore^ freedom by setting up a committee to do that." Burnley is not convinced that the ordinance needs to be revised. Accor­ ding to her, it has ieduced the number of noise complaints by 200 calls com­ pared with last years statistics, and similar ordinances are working well in other places. " 1 here is another community also, and some of those even wanted to start a petition to keep the ordinance the way it was," she said. Callis said he hoped that the students could see that SGA is at­ tempting to do something about the ordinance. "We've been trying to play by the rules that the Town Council wants to set up and we tried to give them as much leeway as we could, but it was just Velnia Burnley's power within that body that tipped that over," Callis said. "You know, you're going to always have some people who aren't going to be cooperative." "I personally am very open to con­ sidering any amendments or ideas that could be incorportated into the present ordinance," Burnley said. "I'm not convinced that it's a good idea to have special interest groups come in and say let's appoint a com inittee, and we want these many special interest people to be on this committee because it sets a precedent... .and if we start this kind of precedent, I don't know actually where the ordinance system would end up." According to Greene, Police Chief Zayne Tester is in favor of setting up a committee independent of the I own Council to look at ordinance revi"He wants to set up a committee on our own with him on it to go ahead through proposals, and then he wants to take them back to the Town Coun cil," Greene said. �77//-. A/'/'Al AC ULAN. THURSDA Y, JANUARY 19. 1989 Legal Intern warns of noise ordinance Chris Bowles Editor's note: Chris Bowles is ASU's Legal Intern for spring semester. Welcome back, ASU students! An exciting new semester is upon us. A new semester means new classes, new friends, more parties and trouble with the Boone Police Department (Boone Vice). Legal problems are a part of college life (this excuse probably won't work on your parents, but it's worth a try). When dealing with legal troubles, a student should be very careful in seek­ ing legal advice. Any ASU full-time student should first contact Student Legal Services when in need of help with a legal problem. Not using Legal Services can result in terrible conse­ quences. Take, for example, the sad case of Harvey Wormwood. To welcome his friends back to good ol' ASU after Christmas break, he decided to throw the biggest party since Faber College's 1963 Delta Tau Chi party. Harvey's party was going well, until there came a very sinister sounding knock at the door. When Harvey opened the door, he was blinded by the gleaming badge of Boone Police Officer Elroy Speedtrap. "You in a heap o' trouble, boy," said Officer Speedtrap. From this point, Harvey's tale is one of heartache. Officer Speedtrap gave Harvey a ticket for violating the Boone Noise Ordinance. Harvey then began thinking of a way to pay the $100 fine. Passing the hat at the door didn't work. From his 50-plus guests, Harvey collected exactly $12.87 After exhausting all other possibilities, he has to decide how to ask Mommy and Daddy Wormwood to pay the fine. Harvey's parents agreed to pay the fine, but they also decided to take Harvey out of school and make him their indentured servant until age 35 Occasionally, while breaking rocks in the family quarry, Harvey has a few moments to rest. During these rare breaks, Harvey often reflects on his college days. He often wonders, "Where did 1 go wrong?" Harvey's first mistake was not con­ tacting Student Legal Services after receiving his citation. His second mistake was not selling all his wordly possessions, paying the fine himself, then heading for the Canadian border and calling his over-reactive parents from there to tell them the bad news. Don't let this happen to you. If you have a legal problem, come by Stu­ dent Legal Srvices at 319 Workman Hall, or call us at 262-6255.

"There's no question about it," Angie Aschoff of Linn-Benton Com­ munity College's placement office in Oregon, said. "The number of jobs advertised with us is up this year." It is happening nationwide. Two major annual surveys, released in December, of national corporate hir­ ing of new grads both predicted a good spring. Northwestern University's Lindquist-Endicott Report predicted an eight percent jump in corporate de­ mand for graduates with bachelor's degrees. Those graduates will receive starting salaries that are an average 4.6 percent higher than those garnered by the Class of 1988. Starting salaries for students with new master's degrees should be 3.5 percent higher than last year's, NU's report added. While Michigan State University's Annual Recruiting Survey is not as optimistic, it does predict a healthy job market for new graduates. MSU asked 427 corporations about their hiring plans. In response, the firms expected to make 3.1 percent more job offers to students this year, and said they were especially in­ terested in hiring more women and minority graduates. Some students consequently feel they can choose their company. "I'm looking for an attractive com­ pany with travel and benefits," University of Maryland senior Maurice Boissiere said of his job search. "Right now I'm looking at company profiles. I'm interviewing I them." The companies feel this as well. "We will be offering jobs to people who know they are going to be in great demand," recruiting manager for IBM Sally Odle said. "We have to offer jobs that are challenging and in­ teresting." Deborah DeBow of Eastern Washington University's Placement Office said, "there's more competi­ tion (for students), so companies are getting more aggressive. They're buy­ ing ads in student publications and coming into the office to strategize more with the (placement) director." Observers attribute the scramble for students to corporate concern that there will not be enough graduates to hire in the future. A recent U.S. Labor Dept. study predicted one million fewer young people will enter the job market dur­ ing the next decade than during the 1970's. "We are doing everything we can to prepare for the shrinking labor market," Marriott Corporation spokesperson Trudy Marotta said. Victor Lindquist of Northwestern added companies also are hiring because the companies themselves ex­ pect to prosper. Sixty-one percent of the firms NU surveyed thought they would be more profitable in 1989 than they were in 1988. "Corporate America is confident the economy will remain strong despite concerns by so-called experts about the volatile stock market, the deficit, trade balance, megamergers and the increased competition in the marketplace," Lindquist said. His report closely followed an early December survey of 14,000 employers by Manpower, Inc., a temporary employment services company. Twenty-two percent of the com­ panies expected to add to their workforces during the first three months of 1989, while 11 percent foresaw staff reductions. "We were a bit surprised at the hir­ ing strength indicated by those figures," Manpower President Mit­ chell Fromstein said. "After a year in which three million new jobs were ad­ ded to the U.S. workforce, we ex­ pected to see a slowing down of job formation." "Engineering, accounting and health professions are our most sought-after graduates," DeBow said, while Linn-Benton's Aschoff finds clerical, nursing and automotive students in high demand. Michigan State researchers said electrical engineering majors wiil be in the greatest demand, followed by marketing and sales, financial ad­ ministration, mechanical engineering and computer science majors. The Northwestern survey found that technical grads will make the most money. Engineering majors can expect to earn $30,600, up from $29,856 in 1988. Chemistry majors should get the second-highest starting salaries—$28,488—up 5.1 percent from 1988. But the biggest salary jump will be in sales and marketing, up 8.8 percent to $25,560.

PRATHER Appalachian Staff Writer As anyone who watches television on a regular basis knows, the talk show format is once again all the rage. There is, of course, the congested late night market that now has both Pat Sajak and'Arsenio Hall gabbing away to their shallow guests—proving Johnny and Dave have always, and will always, do it better. Then there are the "audience participation" shows in which a topic is mentioned and talked about by a group of invited guests, and then by the people sitting in the audience. However, something is a little off when the hosts of these shows continue to be more interesting and far trendier than their shows or even their topics. In the beginning, there was Phil. He was a little wimpy, but he had a great idea—let the different people of the audience ask and say what was on their mind. Phil was very unpreten­ tious because he could be—no one else was doing what he was doing. Then along came Sally and her red glasses. She tried very hard to be Phil's female counterpart but didn't really have the intelligence to pull it off. Finally, God created Oprah, and the feminists of the world screamed, "Tell it like it is, sister!!" At last, Phil had serious competition. For a while, it was good to watch Phil and Oprah battle it out; however, both have recently changed—Phil wearing a dress and Oprah showing off her new and improved ass. Suddenly, "sensa­ tionalism" has become "just the deal," and it can all be linked to one very dangerous young man—the new kid on the block who lives and breathes ratings at no matter what the cost. He was called Geraldo—the man who has as much in his head as there was in A1 Capone's vault. However saturated this medium had become, something was still missingsomething, or someone, a little dif­ ferent. Someone who didn't care to pretend, like the above mentioned hypocritcal boneheads, that he was objective. Someone who was actually fun to watch. Someone who said what you would love to say to some of his guests. Someone like Morton Downey, Jr. What was that I just heard? Was it the sound of all of the liberals on campus burning their papers right now? Could it be the wails of "the pablum pukers" across ASU scream­ ing something inane like, "OOH—I Hate Him!!"? Was it the people from outside of the Student Union having unpleasant flashbacks of "Quentin Mania," and thus making a mass exodus to the nearest power tool? Was it that (gasp) people don't like Mort? For those of you who are not yet familiar with Morton Downey, here's some trivia: Mort's the host of his own late night talk show in which he has been known (at times) to kick off guests who get too ridiculous, or he might just yell into their faces until they become flustered. He is the author of a book called Mort! Mort! Mort!—No Place To Hide. He is also the inspiration behind a board game called Loudmouth which comes com­ plete with a spiffy "Mort Mask." Mort has also walked along side Martin Luther King, Jr. during the civil rights movement where he wrote Condomonium hits! By MICHELLE MILLS Appalachian Staff Writer I am so proud (and thank,ft)l, 1 sup­ pose) to be a part of such an openminded and liberal university. (Perhaps I should clarify here that i am talking about ASU.) Where else can you find condoms in the male and female restrooms of every residence hall? I tell you, we're advancing by leaps and bounds, and there's no stopping us. We've even been men­ tioned on the "David Letterman Show." It makes me proud to be a Mountaineer. Yes, for any of you who haven't had a need to know, the dispensers of safe sex and the harbingers of an aware society are in place and ready for action. Being of a curious nature, I decided to investigate this recent addition to our mountain paradise. My perspec­ tive is objective (some might say ig­ norant) because I have never bought a condom before. Please bear with me. Upon hearing that our purveyors of prophylactics had finally been install­ ed, 1 bounded down the stairs with breathless anticipation. What do they look like? How much do they cost? Are they a name brand? Is there a variety to choose from? Frankly, I was a bit disappointed. Having never seen such a wondrous machine before, my imagination got a little carried away. I was expecting a full size vendor like the ones that give out candybars, with an assortment of about five or six products to choose from. After all, we are discriminating consumers in a capitalistic society, and we have the intelligence and the right to choose according to our tastes and needs. Some of us like a Snickers bar to satisfy our hunger while others prefer the taste of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Imagine my surprise at finding a one-product wall unit instead of the Refrigerator-size dispenser of my dreams. And these aren't Trojans, folks.- Ever heard of "Caress?" I hope you all like Tootsie Rolls. Still, the' Caress Condom (with NP-9 Lubrication) does have its good points. It "Provides Greater Contact * Utmost Sensitivity," thus securing sexual pleasure for both parties. It's EASY TO USE. And the makers of Caress feel very confident about their product, which is electronically tested in the U.S. The package says "CONGRATULATIONS—You are about to enjoy the finest product of its kind...ACCEPT NO SUBSTI­ TUTES! INSIST ON THE BEST." These confident words are inspiring and certainly eased my fears about the quality of the product. A friend of mine said he wouldn't trust a generic condom, but I think we have nothing to fear from Caress unless it's a snob­ by date who insists on designer Tro­ jans with ridges. (If this should hap­ pen, just tell him/her that Caress is distributed exclusively by Barnetts, Inc. of Charlotte. That ought to bring them around.) I just have one question. Which Residence Hall is going to run out of these little wonders first? No more must we dread the possibility of AIDS or fear the sacred but persistent sperm cell. The Caress Condom with NP-9 Lubrication is "SUPERIOR IN STRENGTH AND QUALITY" and eager to serve you and yours by taking care of those technical worries that sex has a tendency to provoke. And it's a bargain at only fifty cents, which is half off the cover price. So start sav­ ing those quarters for something other than laundry. USE ONLY AS DIRECTED. speeches with Jesse Jackson. Like his father, Mort was a singer—he record­ ed the very first version of "Splish Splash." Today, he has a countryalbum soon to be released. Mort grew up with the Kennedys, and his family home was often used by President Kennedy when he needed a retreat with good security. Mort has been called "The most dangerous male reared in the twentieth century," by Mizz Gloria Steinem—a statement he considered a compliment, considering the source. Mort is Roman Catholic. Mort had a sister who was misdiagnosed and committed to an asylum, where she was later killed. Mort has a brother who is gay and is dying of AIDS. Mort wears red socks, has lots of teeth, and smokes a lot. Mort has an opinion on just abou: everything—actually, he does have an opinion on every single thing. This alarms some people who find it Appalachian Kl Cetera Editor "This is the best acid in town," announced Mona as she plopped down between her guests on the floor of her new Hippie Hill apartment and balanced a small tray on her expansive tie-dyed lap. "That's a really cool plate," said Gretl. "Where did you get it?" "I bought it from this really happenin' guy at the Dead show. He buys them from starving Guatemalan Aborigines so they can earn enough money to live. He doesn't make any profit from it. I paid him ten dollars for this plate, and he paid ten dollars for it. So actually, 1 gave ten dollars to help a starving Aborigine in Guatemala. I am such a good thing." "Yes, you are a good thing," Guy agreed. "I just love your apartment. It's so simple and honest...it has such good vibes." "Yes. Well, 1 like to think of my dwelling as an extension of my soul." "Oh, it is!" cried Gretl. "Your soul is a thing of great beauty." Mona had lots of pot and Gretl had no money. They got stoned together often. "Let's ingest this controlled substance so that we might better appreciate each other's souls," said Guy. "Yes, let's," agreed Mona. "But first let's join hands and focus our energies on goodness and world peace. Remember, we are not capable of hate. We love everyone. We just love some people less than we love others." "There are some people we love a lot less," said Gretl. "Shhhh. . .Let's not think about those bad people. Let's only think See DOWNEY Page 4 Prince Phillip bestows honor ASU News Bureau Amanda Yeates went straight for the gold. Yeates, a native of England and a junior at Appalachian State University, received the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award last month from Prince Philip. The gold award recognizes com­ munity service and the completion of several strenuous expeditions. The awards are given only in Great Bri­ tain. "Quite a few people do silver and bronze levels, but not so many do the gold level because it's so much harder," Yeates said. The gold award requires two years work starting at about age 16. During one expedition, on the mountainous Isle of Mull north of Scotland, Yeates walked 57 miles in four days with five others. Each carried a full pack. "It was very hard. It rained the whole time and the maps we had didn't show the crags and we'd fall in them sometimes," she said. The group of four boys and two girls was watched from afar by "assessors" who monitored their pro­ gress. "We had to walk together," Yeates said. "In a way it was harder than having an all girls group—They tend to walk faster and we were definitely pushed," she added. One hiker showed symptoms of hypothermia. "We took her into a valley where it was warmer. She was okay and we carried on." Yeates said everybody was so tired at the end of the first day no one ate. "We just climbed in the tents and went to sleep. I'm glad the assessors didn't come by and ask if we wanted to stop—I probably would have said yes. Everybody was very demoralized and we had three days to go, but by the end of the second day we were halfway through. "We were so close after that traumatic experience," Yeates said. Yeates also spent a week sailing the North Sea on a 72-foot catch with a crew of 18. "Only three of the crew 1 Amanda Yeates had sailed before," she said. "They were helpers, there to make sure we didn't drown." The group was sup­ posed to sail to the Netherlands but poor weather intervened. "The weather was so bad we sailed 10 hours each day and came back to port. One day it was gale force 11, and we were clipped on so we wouldn't fall off. That was another bonding experience." Prince Philip presented the award in a ceremony at St. James Palace, built by Henry VIII for Anne Boleyn. "I think I was more nervous meeting the prince than anything else I did." The group was able to see parts of the palace not open to the public, and Yeates enjoyed the reunion with old friends. "It was lovely going back and seeing the people I did this with," she said. Yeates, an English major and honors student at Appalachian, mov­ ed to the area about a year and a half ago. Her father Keith, an IRC employee, her mother Linda and her two sisters live in Blowing Rock. —Why do all heavy metal musi­ cians have long hair? —What is the big hang-up people have about talking on the phone naked? —How do they choose the Neilsen families for TV ratings?

FIELDS Appalachian Staff Writer Questions It's my personal philosophy that life is one big, long, annoying, frustrating-as-hell unanswerable ques­ tion. So this, my first column of the semester (Look on my works, ye mighty, and laugh out loud), is going to be about questions and answers. Mostly questions, though. And not those meaningless, nebulous ques­ tions that your college profs and ministers think about such as the meaning of life, death, politics, and the nature of man. That's kind of am­ biguous, isn't it? I mean, if Plato and Marx couldn't come up with answers to topics like those, how're greasy col­ lege students going to do it?

Mirrors, crystals, a kaleidoscope, three dee glasses, a colorbox, and Guy even brought his ocean-in-a-bottle." "We're all going to be so close," cried Gretl. "I'm so excited!" "And our minds shall be expanded and we shall envision the future of mankind," said Guy. "Bui I want to explore my past lives," pouted Mona. "I have such an interesting past. About three hundred years ago when I was a child in Scotland, I witnessed my brother rap­ ing my sister. It was a traumatic experience. "How do you know about this, Mona?" asked Gretl. "I know because Seth told me." "Seth? Who's Seth? ' asked Guy. "Seth is the spirit of my Ouija board. He tells me lots of things. Seth says I have had a hard life. Seth is my friend. He is a good thing. A very good thing." "Well, Seth is not the Wayne Newton of Boone," said Guy. "What's that supposed to mean? Don't speak about my friends in that lone of voice."

Such a lassie, she who moves her feet dutiful­ ly while her roomie, headphones clamped on, singing the wrong lyrics to old Steve Miller Band songs very loudly and quite off-key, sweeps every day like a mad person. Not only would Nannie describe me as a com­ pulsive cleaner, but as a compulsive organizer as well. I don't feel, however, that I deserve the latter label. 1 mean, give me a break, doesn't EVERYONE place their cassettes in alphabetical order? Doesn't EVERYONE place their books on the shelf in order from largest to smallest? Doesn't EVERYONE foam at the mouth when there's a wrinkle in the bedclothes? Doesn't EVERYONE feel the pressing need to have their jeans folded exactly right, stacked in order with the oldest pair on top, newest pair on bottom, so you'll wear the oldest ones until they wear out and you won't feel guilty about wear­ ing the newest pair and neglecting the oldest? No? Be glad I don't have a spice rack. 1 know another woman who has a raisin neurosis. I realize it sounds a trifle odd, but it's true. This par­ ticular woman will not talk about, listen to, look at, get near, or even think about anything having to do with raisins. Her paranoia exlcudes dates, grapes, and prunes—it's just raisins. She meticulously picks the of­ fensive fruit out of any food she eats. She believes that the Sun-Maid is the antichrist. And God forbid we should eat at Hardee's—she breaks out in hives at the sight of those huge, pur­ ple, singing California Rasins. She's not allergic to raisins. She just has this THING about them.

"It's almost as if Seth is more important to you than your real friends." "Yeah," said Gretl. "Well, Seth is my real friend. He is not the figment of my imagination." Mona shot evil looks at Gretl and Guy. "He has no expectations of me. He loves me for who I am. Unlike some people I could name." Mona fell into a deep funk and put on head­ phones. She closed her eyes and watched the vivid colorful shapes of an acid trip tiptoe across the movie screens of her closed eyelids. Jim Morrison spoke seductive wisdom to the players who acted out the melodrama on the stage of Mona's acid-washed mind. The Doors cassette ended and the sounds of what was really happening in the room sneaked into Mona's ears. Her black light was on. Her paisley bedspread was moving rhythmically up and down. Guy and Gretl were doing the dance of life on her new futon. It seemed like only last weekend when she and Guy had robbed the futon of its virginity.. .wait! It WAS only last weekend! Mona snorted like a mad cow and charged across the room. "Get out of my house," she stormed. Guy and Gretl stared at her in utter amazement. "What's wrong?" Guy asked innocently as he looked up at Mona and continued to grind against Gretl. "Wrong!" Mona screamed. "You're wrong. Both of you! Get out of my house!" Guy looked at Gretl and said, "She must be having a bad trip. Can we go to your place?" "Uh," replied Gretl. "Go to her place!" shouted Mona. "You mean you're going to keep on..." "Yes," said Guy, still on top of Gretl. "Is there any reason why we shouldn't?" "Reason!" yelled Mona. "We do love each other," said Guy. "Uh," agreed Gretl. "Love!" Mona shrieked. "Love!? What do you know about love?" "Love is a good thing," said Gretl. "Yeah," sighed Mona. "Do you two realize what you have done to me?" "What," asked Guy. "Uh?" asked Gretl. "You've emotionally raped me. You've both toyed with my emo­ tions... your treacherous hormones have gotten out of control. . .you've emotionally raped me." "What?" asked Guy. "I'm sorry," said Gretl. "Just to prove what a good thing 1 am, I am going to leave this haven of goodness so that you two may be alone together." "We do love each other." "Uh." "And I love you," said Mona. "All 1 ever do is give. All everyone else does is take..." She stretched out her arms and gazed into space. "Go ahead. Just drive in the nails." "Mona, we didn't mean to upset you..." "Yeah. "That's okay. 1 still love you both. I don't even love you less." "This is really good acid," said Guy, grinding away. "Uh!" agreed Gretl emphatically. "It really is wonderful," agreed Mona, gazing out the window, "1 see God standing beside that post down on King Street. He seems to be beckoning me... I think he needs something.. . I'd better go say 'hi'." Mona stepped out into the irides­ cent world of throbbing trees and pulsating buildings. She realized that the broken terra cotta flower pot on her back porch was a necessary and integral part of the universe. She spent the rest of the evening sharing thoughts and bonding with the manhole covers on King Street. Yuppiedom Continued from Page 4 later (more sooner than later, these days).

J ANUARY 19. 1989 Bobcat is a scream Charlie By PRUITT ALI EN Appalachian Staff Writer The first thing to understand about Bobcat Goldthwat is this: he is not like any other human being extant. The closest anyone can come to describing him is to reel off a sort of machine-gun string of allusions to Robin Williams, Lenny Bruce, Charlie Chaplin and Ozzy Osbourne. The closest you can come to understanding this is to see him in Farthing Auditorium on January 24. Machine-gun is a pretty good way of desribing his unique stand-up delivery as well. The voice is a stutter­ ing blend of primal scream, suddenlycalm deadpan and a roar that Sam atin with \Charlie In my last column I expressed my opinions on ASU food services. [ While not everyone agreed with me, I got enough good feedback to en­ courage me to write about food again. This time, however, I'm opening up a whole new frontier.

I've only been here once myself but, 1 must say, I enjoyed it. My roast beef sandwich was quite tasty. This place seems like a good place to drink a beer on a Saturday lafternoon. Bash Riprock's—Great name. I Iwent here with a friend last year ex­ pecting a restaurant. It's actually more like a bar with tables. My memory of Bash Riprock's is that I got the best burrito I've had in Boone. I'll walk a mile for a good | burrito. Red Onion—Not much of an |opinion, here. I got some pasta stuff, I think. It was probably pret­ ty good. I seem to remember the I waitresses being cute Solledito's—Only been once. Fet tucini with clam sauce. The clam sauce was too thin. Pizza Hut—The pizza here is just like any other Pizza Hut. The only reason I mention it is because the one time I went the floor seemed to spontaneously explode. No lie. Some friends and I were sitting in our booth when we heard what sounded like firecrackers. We looked up front at the tile floor and the tiles were exploding and popp ing up in the air. Customers were jumping up on tables to escape the terror, while others were walking out without paying their checks. My friends and I were, of course, grab bing our necks and yelling whiplash | We would've won in court, too Mom and Pop's—Good homeIstyle eating but the service is deathly [slow. Don't go to this place if you're hungry because by the time you get your food you'll have passed out. Good blackberry cob bier, though. Daniel Boone Inn—Mom and Pop's done right.

Bur ritos, tacos, pasta, salads, sandIwiches, Chinese, nachos, pudding, jello, etc., etc. I imagine Rax makes a profit on people who order the hot bar and get one taco or some [thing, but I'll tell you, they lose a lot of money on slovenly gluttons | like me. I can't talk about Rax without mentioning their incredible milkshakes. In particular, their blueberry milkshake. Boy howdy, I those things are good. I take my I milkshakes seriously and I can safe ly say that it is the best milkshake in the world. No lie, man. Piccadeli—I've saved the best for last. This is my favorite restaurant in Boone. It's a tad expensive but it's worth it. Sandwiches, soup, pasta, chili, french fries, desserts. This place is great. Big thumbs up, here. Well, that about does it. There are undoubtedly many deserving restaurants I haven't mentioned here. Most likely I've just never been to them. I really would like to go to every restaurant in town before I graduate. I can probably do it too. Well, 'nuff said. See you later. .11 He has several times interrupted his touring to do movies, notably the woeful "Policy Academy" films (Goldthwait calls them the "Police Lobotomy films) which garnered him 'truckfuls of money.' Several of his bits have achieved legendary status among comedy congoscent. His first appearance on The Tonight Show was hosted by Joan Rivers, who introduced him as "another Steve Martin" and as a trained dog act. Bobcat, in top hat and pink sequined tails tearfully ex­ plained that JoJo, his dog, had recently passed away, and this his father, played by a 70-year-old actor, would fill in out of kindness. "I'm not just a nutty guy screaming. People come up to me and say, 7 didn't think you were funny until I listened to the album.' " ... . Kinison is sort of the KKK version of Goldthwait-stupid, mean and foul, where Bobcat is intelligent, diverse and fascinatingly hard to understand. He reels off a running commentary on everything in view, including himself, with particular emphasis on politics and rock and roll. In other words, if John Belushi had done to Robin Williams what he did to Joe Cocker, the result would closely resemble Bob­ cat Goldthwait. Goldthwait's following has become cultish in respond to a brilliant standup carrer that has spanned six years. Goldthwait fiacl fiis "dad" jump through a ring, catch a Frisbee with his paws, and ride a tiny tricycle. His deadly accurate jabs at selfimportant U2 singer Bono, such as prefacing political commentary with "This is not a rebel joke (paraphras­ ing a line from a U2 live album)," or his own rendition, in black vest and ponytail and with band, of "With or Without You," are unforgettable. And once he was brought onstage in­ side a cardboard box, from which he proceeded to do the first 10 minutes of his set. "I'd like to do some juggling," he Circle Jerks' age doesn't show Slammin with Jerks By JASON M. Appalachian Slaff Wriler Editor's Note: Jason M. is a local who went to Charlotte's Park Elevator Club for this hardcore ex­ travaganza. The night air was crisp as our trio' stepped out of the car. Large cinder blocks hovered over us with large, black letters that said "Park Elevator." At the end of the dark alley, clusters of skinheads and other local riff-raff spoke in the shadows. You could make out a few words with an occasional "f— you" echoing from some hidden crevice. We moved towards the entrance way of the renovated elevator factory. Strangers in melancholy colors faced us as we headed for the delves of the club. Neon lights bathed small areas as smoke diffused their glow. The first band was The Lubricators. Hardcore soon filled the air, and anticipation hung on the crowd like a hot summer day. I was psyched for a heavy dose of slam dan­ cing, and was quickly disappointed. The Lubricators sucked. I was so bored I thought I would lose my mind waiting for their 20-minute show to quickly pass. This Clemson band was sloppy, and the singer sounded like he'd a tracheotomy. I was emotional­ ly, spiritually and mentally flaccid. The second band, Unseen, could have passed for Motorhead or any brain-dead biker band. Unlike The Lubricators, Unseen had a deeprooted metallic angst mixed with a total disregard for themselves and others. I was sent into a cesspool of adrenalin. They played a request for the crowd, "Hammerhead," a violent, hateful tune which seemed to confuse me more than entertain me. The spec­ tators moved in a violent, personal way. Skin circled and began to skank, shaking clenched fists and terrorizing the atmosphere. The singer felt the presence also. At the end of the song, he flung himself head-first into a triumphant stage dive which resulted in a three-inch gash across his forehead. He stag­ gered and again mounted the stage, ready for the finale. Then the band smashed their instruments and walked quietly off stage. The Circle Jerks, the head of the punk movement in California in the early 70s, walked onstage. Keith Mor­ ris, the singer, looked haggard and aged from the chemical abuse of his youth, yet he sang with vitality and disgust. The Jerks are well-versed. Their intelligent and sarcastic views about the nuclear age mixed with an emotional swelling makes you feel their power and hate. The positive union of the band produced an in­ credible rhythm which made the con­ clusion of this evening calm, but full of strength to fight for what is right. A RICH HERIIAGE: After a tremendous sellout for Clarinda Ross' one-woman show on Wednesday, the play, "From My Grandmother's Grandmother Unto Me," has been held over. said. "Hand me my torches." Thumping sounds then issued from the box. After this he did a Michael Jackson impression by playing a tape of the singer. Don't expect to see any of that next Tuesday, though. He is an incredibly prolific writer, once telling an au­ dience clamoring for old jokes to tape his HBO special and shut up. And just when you expect him to tear off another brutally funny series of observations, don't be surprised if he turns brutally honest instead. After reminding one audience that Sylvester Stallone was teaching girls soccer in Europe while Rambo was terrorizing Vietnam, Goldthwait pinned them in place by saying that to his father, war was waking up screaming in the mid­ dle of the night. In addition to the movies, comedy specials and stand-up, Bobcat has just released a comedy album called "Meat Bob." Godthwait hopes peo­ ple will see him more clearly as a result. "I'm not just a nutty guy scream­ ing. People come up to me and say, 'I didn't think you were funny until I listened to the album.' " Or, BOBCAT: Primal screams and other bizarre antics are e presumably, until they saw him live. comedian Bobcat Goldthwait comes to ASU on January 24^' Fisherman's Blues hook yon By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Slaff Wriler We 're living in a strange lime working for a strange goal We 're turning flesh and body into soul." —from "Strange Boat" If you go by the star review system a la Rolling Stone, you'd have to use the Milky Way. A simple one to 10 scale does no justice. All Fisherman's Blues by the Waterboys needs are joyous praises. This is the first album by the original­ ly Scottish band since late 1985's This Is The Sea and their fourth overall. (The previous three have been rereleased by Chrysalis, their new label.) The band has had many dif­ ferent players, but the core consisted of Mike Scott (principal songwriter, singer, guitarist, pianist, and genius), Anthony Thistlethwaite (saxophone and most anything musical), and Karl Wallinger (bass and synths). However, Wallinger left in 1986 to form World Party and in his place arrived former In Tua Nua fiddler Steve Wickham. Many Irish and Scottish bands have the urge to do rock'n'roll these days. While some prefer to rattle and hum, the Waterboys packed their bags and headed for the Ireland of the Dubliners, the Chieftains, and Clan- nad. The album was recorded in both Dublin and the tiny village of Spiddal in the West of Ireland. Scott apparently spent the last three years on just grasping the Irish sound, but embracing its essence. The best evidence of that is "When Will We Be Married?", a tune derived from a traditional Irish melody. The soul of Van Morrison is also embraced with a cover of "Sweet Thing." All the improvisation of the original has now transformed into elegance. Every note grips, every beat clutches, every verse consumes. Van Morrison must be proud of his baby now that it has grown so majestically. Now don't think you're getting an album where all the cuts will be played on NPR's "Thistle and Shamrock." Some songs go for the same, dare I say, sensual excitement earlier songs deliver. "We Will Not Be Lovers" is seven minutes of tur­ moil..."Now your eyes are like torches/Your presence is bhss.../The touch of your flesh is tough to resist/Planets collide at the smack of your kiss, but you can kiss your brother/We will not be lovers." All the passion and fury must submit to reality. The body must listen to the rational brain this time. Love with almost animal lust must subside. Another flamethrower is "World Party," written with Wallinger before his departure. Guitars screech, joined by a fiddle and a f UKni . (Hey, how many bandscank bouzouki player?) The Waterboys reveal ib side as well with the geni| e Boat," the sad "When y" Away," and a drunken irfe, country legend, "Has Anybody Seen Hank?"; country the »aij would like to play it.

Griffin began playing piano at age four and went on to the harp when he was a senior at Cass Tech High School in Detroit. In high school, 34 harpists shared five harps between them. He still keeps in touch with his teacher and mentor, Velma Froude. Griffin is one of the country's few concert harpists and he travels 50,000 miles a year to perform at concert halls across the nation. Griffin has performed 20 times in the White House for four different presidents. He says his favorite presidential per­ formance was for the Kennedy ad­ ministration. He has presented over 600 concerts throughout the United States, Europe and the Far East. His travels have taken him to Vienna, Manila, Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo. He has performed at over 300 colleges and universities and was nominated for the National Association of Cam­ pus Activities entertainer of the year for 1988. According to Griffin, the harp initially carries the idea that it can only appeal to a limited number of people and that it has a sort of snob appeal.

"It isn't easy baring your family history to a crowd of strangers. When you're an actress, you can take a bad review. But when you are also the playwright, and the play is about your family, it's tough. It's a very personal show. What if the audience left and hated your family? I'd never come out of the house again," she said. Admission to the performance is $5 for adults and $3 for students.

In the pro­ cess of squaring away family business, Charlie comes upon a man who turns out to be his brother. Dustin Hoff­ man portrays Charlie's brother Ray­ mond, who is an autistic savant with a miraculous ability in mathematics. Raymond's condition proves to be quite trying to Charlie's patience until a "connection" is made. Hoffman's performance undoubtedly makes him a shoe-in for the Oscar for Best Ac­ tor. His intuitive air of innocence and light-heartedness makes his perfor­ mance a masterpiece of determination and diligence. The two newly acquainted brothers take off on a cross-country adventure from Cincinnati to Los Angeles. Dur­ ing the course of the journey, Charlie slowly learns to deal with Raymond's odd mannerisms and a fraternal love begins to blossom.

The musician puts together his own arrangements to suit his own techni­ ques for playing the harp. He also likes to research the songs he plays, and to tell the audience about the music they will hear. Watching Grif­ fin play, one can see that he certainly enjoys what he is doing. His facial ex­ pressions and the way he talks to his instruments and the audience all protray his love for his music. In everything from Bach to Brubeck, Continental to Calypso, and Ageless to New Gae, Griffin proves that the harp is indeed an exciting and versatile instrument in the hands of a consummate performer.

Over the holidays, the team went to Toledo, Ohio to play in the Toledo Medical Value Plan Holiday Classic. Sure, the name of the tourna­ ment sounds really dumb, but it was a quality tournament with quality teams. Appalachian State went into the first game of the tournament as an underdog against Washington State, a member of the prestigious Pac-10 conference. The Mountaineers came out of the close defensive battle with a 58-56 win on a Tim Powers put-back basket at the buzzer. Head coach Tom Apke said that the victory was NBC s charging huge rates for advertising during the Super Bowl and I feel like plopping down a million bucks to get sent via satellite) in stereo into millions of homes just so 1 can say, "This football game is brought to you by CAPITALISM, proud supplier of gross embodiment across our consumerist republic."

"Carolina was a childhood See SUPER Page 10 dream. My mom was getting mad at good not only for ASU, but for the entire Southern Conference. The win showed that the Southern Conference can compete with the more powerful conferences in the nation. In the championship game the Mountaineers took on Toledo before over 5,000 fans. Apke said the Apps handled Toledo from beginning to end. The end was a 75-63 win and a tournament championship. Sam Gib­ son, Ben Miller, and Tim Powers all led the scoring with 16 points each. Sam Gibson was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament. He scored 34 points and shot 80 per­ cent from the field for the two games, including an eight for eight shooting performance against Toledo. Ben Miller gained the honor of be­ ing named to the all-tournament team after he scored 22 points and pulled —#r - down 19 rebounds in the two contests. Twelve rebounds against Toledo was a career high for Miller. The Mountaineers played their first conference game January 7 and Tennessee-Chattanooga was the first opponent. The Mountaineers played a great first half, but the second half was a big let down as the Moun­ taineers let the Moccasins climb back into the game after being down by 14 at the half. ASU managed to hold on to win 70-66. Sam Gibson once again provided the spark for the Moun­ taineers by scoring 22 points. Rodney Peel also provided 13 points. Two nights later ASU beat Western Carolina 60-57 before a packed Varsi­ ty Gymnasium. The game was riddled with controversy because Catamount head coach Dave Possinger accused the offficials of stealing the game from Western. "I really believe that the officials have a vendetta against me. We can't ever seem to get a break when the game is on the line," Poss­ inger said. Possinger didn't help his team by getting two technical fouls and one came when his team had the ball. Even with the "T's" Western stayed close, coming back from a 14-point deficit to take a one-point lead in the waning moments of the game. Then the crowd got into the game and sparked the Apps. Two free throws by Ben Miller and a block by Kemp Phillips gave ASU the victory by the narrow margin of three points. The next Wednesday the Apps traveled to Asheville to face UNC-A for the second time this year. The first meeting was won by the Mountaineers 72-57. The second wasn't much dif­ ferent as the Apps once again beat the Bulldogs, this time by a score of 77-62. Tom Apke said he was pleased with the team's performance because they gave a full forty-minute effort and didn't have the second half lapse that had become almost characteristic of them. It appeared everthing was going just hunky dory; then came The Citadel. The Citadel's regular basketball facility is being remodeled so they are currently playing in a P.E. facility that seats about 1,500 people. For the Women prepare for SC play Following the heartbreaking loss, ASU played the Bucknell Lady Bisons in the consolation game December 30. Against a team ASU was supposed to beat, the Lady Mountaineers played to their potential and put the Lady Bisons away 98-88. Senior forward Beth Laney played some of the best basketball of her career in the tournament. Laney hit seven of 13 from the floor, 11 of 14 from the line, and added six assists against North Carolina and 27 points versus Bucknell. For her efforts, Beth Laney was named to the All-Classic Team and named the Southern Conference's Player-of-the-Week. Not content with these achievements, Laney also broke the 1000 point barrier in the game against Bucknell. Moving from a mid-major program into the upper echelon is an uphill battle. ASU Women's Basketball is in the midst of this climb this season, as was evidenced by the game January 3 at Auburn. The Lady Mountaineers managed to stay within striking distance the first half, but fell to a superior team in the end, 79-50. The Lady Mountaineers were led by Debbie Swicegood's 15 points and by Kim Johnson's six rebounds. The Southern Conference season opened for the Lady Apps against Furman on January 6. Behind the 27 points of Beth Laney and the 10 re­ bounds of Shannon Thomas, ASU handed the Lady Paladins a bitter 84-66 defeat. ASU returned home to play a firedup Campbell squad on January 10. Though plagued once again by lackadaisical play, the Lady Moun­ taineers pulled out a 75-70 win. Laney led with 20 points and Glenda Cunn­ ingham pulled down seven boards. Virginia Commonwealth makes up the third top 25 team the Lady Apps played this year. After a quick start, the Lady Mountaineers feel to their sixth defeat of the year. This week, ASU starts the long haul of Conference play in earnest. The Lady Mountaineers are going to have to raise their play level another notch to win in the league this year. ASU catches a Buzz me because of the way I was acting due to the pressure," Buzz said. Buzz lived up to all the expecta­ tions. He made the McDonald's AllAmerican team and the McDonald's East/West team. He was voted athlete of the year in North Carolina, beating out Michael Jordan. Buzz Peterson Before his injury slowed him down, Buzz was MVP of a television game against LSU when he started the se­ cond half by hitting his first nine shots. Buzz was also named to two all-tourney teams. After the injury, both Buzz and Carolina went downhill, hitting the lowest point since Carolina lost to Villanova in 1985, his senior year, in the NCAA Tournament. But basketball was not yet over for Buzz. He was drafted by Cleveland, but was released from the team. One day Buzz was working and someone told him about an opening on ASU's basketball team as an assis­ tant. "I had an interview with Coach Apke and I got the job," Buzz said. Being an assistant caoch is fine for now, but someday, Buzz wants to be a head coach. "I never thought I would get out of coaching. It takes time but I hope to coach at the Division I level," said Buzz. With his playing days behind him, Buzz has the future and his coaching career to look forward to. 1 IP 19 •tgl * VKr -kyi r MkJn B A | irSHBr^ iKw J0* PflllllifW TJ- - H - aEw <|raji -1 DOUBLE FIGURE NIGHT: Sam Gibson prepare,^ game-high 22 points against Western Carolina in Varsitm, first time all season Appalachian State had a very disappointing game which included being down by twenty points, but they did come back to lose only by the score of 65-62.

The Appalachian / WASU Athlete of the week Sam Gibson nai By ROGER WATSON 'Assistant Sports Editor The first Appalachian/^ ASU Athlete of the Week for this semester is SAM GIBSON. Gibson is a 6-9 Junior majoring in business manage­ ment. He has developed into a team leader who seems to be able to score at will inside the lane. Last year he was averaging 12.4 points a game; this year, he is averag­ ing 18.3 points a game. He also leads the team in this category and is sixth in the conference while being third in the conference in blocked shots. He leads the conference in field goal percentage with a whopping 68.2 per­ cent. Gibson is not the man the op­ position wants to put on the line because he hits over 80 percent of his free throws. He is second on the club in rebounding, pulling down 5.4 boards a game. Gibson was named the most valuable player in the Toledo Holiday Classic after he scored 18 points against Washington State and 16 points versus Toledo. He scored 22 points in the win over TennesseChattanooga while being 6 of 8 from the field, 10 of 10 from the line and having eight rebounds. Gibson also scored 22 points in the Western Carolina game and had eight re­ bounds. It is becoming a pattern that Mountaineer fans can live with. W hen asked how he feels about be­ ing named Athlete of the Week, Gib­ son said, "It feels prat most of the credit has to i teammates."

N.C. State, Tennessee and Methodist Col­ lege all competed. Lamonda Miller qualified for Na­ tionals in the 55m dash with a time of 6.84. Last year she was a NCAA AllAmerican in outdoor track events. "It was a good meet all the way around," Coach John Weaver said. He is looking forward to the Mariott Invitational Saturday, January 21, and then the Kodak Invitational at VMI February 4. On the men's side, Coach A1 Fereshetian said the meet showed some strength and confirmed some weaknesses for the men's team. He also said that a lot of personal records were set in the meet. Dean Duncan was a top performer as he won the mile with a time of 4:16.7. He also won the 1,000 meters by running it in 2:32. Allen Brooks was the victor in the 800 meters with the time of 1:56.8. Curtis Lowe raced away from the competition in the 400 meters, runn­ ing a 49.3. His teammate Eric Joe was third, clocking in at 50.6. Leigh Hawkins has a good meet, placing second in the weight throw and third in the shot put. Warren Posey also continued his great career at ASU by placing second with a triple jump of 52.4. Posey is a two-time AllAmerican. The mile relay team placed second with a time of 3 minutes and 20 seconds. The runners on the team Intramurals begin Southern SpRING Conference were Frank Allen, Phillip Smith, Cur­ tis Lowe, and Eric Joe. Other ASU athletes reaching per­ sonal bests include Tommy Ball and Scott Capell in the weight throw. Ball had a throw of 45-6 and Capell hurled a throw of 45-6. Lineil Johnson jumped 47-4 and three-forths in the triple jump to break his personal best.

"I've held a job while I have been in college to help me fund skiing. Some people feel that working makes you sacrifice your school work, but college is more than books and studies and to me, college would not have been complete without having learned to ski,"Brown said. Sometimes saving lump sums of money is not as easy for college students, and an alternative plan must be implemented for those diehard ski buffs living on a college budget. In Radford, Virginia, Radford University sophomore Matt Forbes has come up with a plan to allow him to ski on weekends and with a group of students with his own age and in­ terests. "Each year I ask my parents foi money for Christmas, and they give it to me to help fund skiing trips that are offered through the university," he said. "I feel that I save a lot of money on rentals, lift tickets, accommoda­ tions and transportation with the package that some of the travel agen­ cies and companies offer." Forbes also believes that the crowds of people he skis with make his ski outings much more enjoyable. "Since the ski trips are offered through the university, most of the people who go are college students," he said.

' Town Council misrepresents ASU Last November, the Boone Town Council decided to begin develop­ ment of a committee to examine the existing Noise Ordinance. In the December meeting, due to the negative influence of Mayor Pro-Tempore Velma Burnley, the decision was overturned. While expressing her opposing view, Ms. Burnley stated that the or­ dinance has not existed long enough to prove success or failure. Obviously, Ms. Burnley failed to recognize the intent behind the SGA proposal. If created, this committee would merely examine the ordinance and determine if changes were necessary. No alterations were proposed to the council. The student population at ASU represents a large percentage of the constituency of Watauga County. Ms. Burnley and others opposed to the bill are not adequately representing their constituents. Instead these underhanded politicians are merely concerned with protecting the untainted image of the Boone Town Council. The possibility that the council may have erred in the original ordinance seems to override the integrity and consciences of our Town Council members. What can we, as students, do to correct these problems and prevent such occurences in the future? Vote! Any individual who is as openly opposed to students as Velma Burnley should not be re-elected next fall! As was proven during the Beer in Boone campaign, the student vote can and will make a difference! Interested students who plan to reside in the Boone area should also consider running for a seat on the Town Council. Only when the coun­ cil has adequate representation from students and student advocates can differences be settled and a positive atmosphere be created. If Christmas had come two months earlier this year, then we might be inducting someone other than George Bush as president tomorrow. This may seem like a ridiculous thing to say but think about it for a moment. What I see happening at Christmas time is scores of people who are usually very conser­ vative, turning into "bleeding hearf'liberals! I suppose that a lot of you are questioning my sanity by now for making such an observation, so I will try to set forth a few examples. First, there is the obvious example of the number of people who drop their loose change into the little red buckets of the Salvation Army. These are the same people who say they don't support welfare programs at all other times of the year. Why is that? Do they somehow think that it is less charitable to give to welfare pro­ grams for the poor than to help the same people through the Salvation Army? Or is it because charitable donations are tax deductable? I don't think so. I think it is just the general atmosphere of the season that causes people to give. Another example of Christmas breeding liberalism is the response that the United States showed towards Soviet Armenia's earthquake victims. There was an unprecedented amount of aid sent from the United States to help the victims. For once it didn't even seem to matter that the recipients of the aid were "commies." Many of you would probably respond to this argu­ ment by saying that the United States would have helped the victims of such a tragedy at any time of year. This is not a valid argument to me, however, Eric Miller believe Chris," simply because of the lack of concern for the Nicaraguan people when their country was devastated by a hurrican three months earlier. Furthermore, some of you may be confused as I am regarding this national effort towards a country that only a few years ago was regarded as a hostile, oppressive, and unfriendly nation. Of course, this could be the subject of an entire column—how in the space of five years the U.S.S.R. went from being an "evil empire" to one of Ron Reagan's favorite weekend retreats. Well, Ronnie may have kissed and made up with the Soviets, but not all the American people have. For example, in one of my classes last semester, a young lady remarked that she was glad that there had been an earthquake during Gorbachev's visit to the U.S. Her reason was that now he would go home, and her soap operas wouldn't be interupted by his speeches anymore. I hope she was joking. My third example of how Christmas brings out the liberal in all of us is the constant references I heard over the holidays to the "overcommericalization" of S. l0n !!.mLaltoeabet It1? me th<= most rstrikin^<i willing that aboufw pe ^lkln Wper«nt this have 0 this have seen some verson „<• fvs Christmas Carol."

Wouldn't"3 great if Reagan had had a similar expen« Scrooge's eight years ago?

And IF I am mar­ ried, they want to hear about my children. But if I have a child without a marriage license, they lose curiosity. The form has no blank on which to list the ages of nonmarital children. 5. At the upper right-hand cor­ ner of the application, small letters spell out a request for a photograph of me. WHY? The only answer I've had for this question is so those who shuffle my papers need to have a visual reminder of me when schools call to ask about me. Gee, that's reassur­ ing. The people who, to a great extent, determine the course of my preparation for teaching CANNOT RECALL MY CREDENTIALS WITHOUT MY FACE? With I have just completed, in triplicate, the standard form for prospective student teachers. 1 answered all the questions fully and to the best of my knowledge. Now I have some questions of my own. 1. Is progress always good? Within the next few years, Workman Hall, which houses The Ap­ palachian, SGA and other organizations, will be torn down and the Student Union will be expanded over this area to accommodate these groups. Although this is a positive effort to update existing facilities, great caution should be taken to insure that the charm that Workman Hall and other buildings have given to our campus is not destroyed. At this time, ASU is in a period of transition. The mixture of old and new buildings is very awkward in some areas; a particular example is the new Industrial Arts building, which is directly across from our old gymnasium and security facilities. With each removal and destruction of an old building, a priceless piece of our university heritage is permanently destroyed. Such modern architecture has an absurd appearance against the scenic background of the Appalachian Mountians. In such an environ­ ment, older architecture would be much more appropriate. Other universities, such as UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke, attract students through antiquity of the buildings and the heritage they repre­ sent. Progress is good when it is performed in a responsible manner. However, it would be a shame to destroy the ASU heritage by placing any more historically significant buildings in State Farm Field.

Do they need to adjust the height of the chalkboard? Ditto for my weight. Does any host school have a building code that limits teacher weight? Why does anyone need to count my pounds? Shall I also list my shoe size? No, the school is not asking these questions for insurance purposes; I have been instructed to provide my own medical insurance for the student teaching period. 2. Does my sex matter? If not, WHY IS THE QUESTION ON THE FORM? 3. Before now, I assumed that anyone who successfully com­ pletes the coursework may have an opportunity to prac­ tice teaching, but perhaps I should make sure I am the correct age, too. Or do they ask my birthdate so they won't forget to send a card this year? Should change machines be added also? my social security number, nearly every clerk on this campus can tell me my life story! If I am not memorable enough to earn a wholehearted recommenda­ tion, based on my credentials, from the ASU College of Education staff, something is wrong. Either a) I am not of the proper caliber to teach in this state, or b) The College of Education cannot properly handle the number of suitable teacher candidates. Who decided to include a photograph as a part of the applica­ tion? Is it there to answer the ques­ tions bureaucrats are afraid to spell out?

The con­ troversy stems from the name change of our campus nightclub from H'Appy's to Legends. I would like to begin by laying out, step-by-step, the process by which the name change came to be. 1. During the A.P.P.S. Executive training workshop this past summer, the Executive Cabinet, a group of 11 students, discussed ways to build interest in the newly remodeled facility. During this discus­ sion, we decided a name change was necessary in order to generate enough interest to get the upperclassmen clientele built up again, as well as to establish a strong freshman backing. We wrote the following letter to Dr. Mclntire asking for permission to change the name of the facility before the students returned in the fall: Dear Dr. Mclntire, BmtKtCM clothes out of fashion? I am well-accustomed lo be™ judged by my age, sex, body? voice pitch, and manner of mod ment. My major area of study! Theatre.

My mind, skills, talents, We, the Executive Cabinet of the Appalachian Popular Programming Society, respectfully submit the following proposal for your consideration. ASU is fortunate to be one of the few universities in the nation to maintain a nightclub that provides unique entertainment for its students. We're excited about your recent decision to renovate the facility, as we feel the new look will certainly rejuvenate the interest from the student body of ASU. The renovations are so dramatic they need to be taken one step further. The new paintings in the facility represent the legends of the music industry and together with the renovations have created a distinct atmosphere. Therefore, we propose the name of the facility be changed to Legends. This name will inspire new interest in the club from the upperclassmen, as well as develop a strong freshman clientele. We feel the time and effort already spent on renovations make a name change necessary. In the past two years, ASU has been forced to compete with a number of new entertainmentoriented clubs. The time has come to reveal our new club, with its new name, Legends. To be most effective, the change must be made before students return in the fall. Because of the urgency of this matter, we respectfully request your immediate attention. We are very excited about the future of our new club and would be happy to entertain any questions or comments. I nank vou for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, A.P.P.S.

By MARK LATENDRESSE Appalachian C olumnist Bulletin published by this university for 1987-89 states that "the student is expected to demonstrate academic competence, intellectual honesty and responsibility, a willingness to do more than the minimum required, and the ability to think critically and constructively." What exactly does that mean? It means that you have to want a educa­ tion. Not because your parents want you to have a college degree. Not because you want to have a degree so you can go out into the real world and make (as a close friend of mine so apt­ ly puts it) "big bucks." Not because it's what all of your friends are doing. But because inside of you there is a yearning for knowledge, a desire to learn more about the hows and whys of the world. This desire for a greater understanding of the universe (and what our responsibilities as in­ dividuals as well as a collective society are) is exactly why liberal education was founded. I bumped into one of my favorite professors in front of the bookstore the day before classes started. He seemed out of sorts. 1 wouldn't say despondent; however, I would say he was disheartened, discouraged, and perhaps even disillusioned. Like many students and teachers alike, the break seemed too short for him. I could sympathize with him. In fact, I'm a little worried about him. He seems to be fast approaching what I would call "burnout." I believe this condition is caused by his putting so much of himself into his courses with little or no appreciation from the students. Many of the courses this particular professor teaches are required by both the General College and the College of Arts and Sciences. A large percen­ tage of the students taking these com­ pulsory courses resent the re­ quirements placed upon them by their individual colleges. This resentment tends to make the educator's job much more difficult. These students This means it is the responsibility of are often lackadaisical in their ap­ the students to genuinely attempt to proach to learning the material being learn the material being presented, presented. It is easy to see why a pro­ not just to go through the motions.

However, 1 which could be useful later on in their always try to approach classroom par­ lives as well as cheating themselves ticipation with some vim and vigor. from the basic underlying philosophy What then, as students, is our respon­ of a liberal education, but they are sibility to the university? The General detracting from the overall effec­ tiveness of the educator. Professors faced with perfunctory performance from their pupils can soon become disinterested in their teachings. The purpose of Appalachian State University, according to the current General Bulletin, is to "nurture an in­ tellectual climate in which truth is sought and respected, critical thinking is encouraged, cultural horizons are broadened, and ethical and aesthetic values are appreciated." In order to do so the university charges itself with the task of providing "...each stu­ dent with a well-rounded liberal education and the opportunity to par­ ticipate in a wide range of educational experiences and professional pro­ grams." Many educators in this institution attempt to do exactly that. These teachers are the unsung heros and I refer to both the masculine and feminine genders with that term of the educational system. They seldom receive the plaudits they deserve. Fac­ ed with a vast turnover rate, each semester most of these teachers at­ tempt to treat each student as an in­ dividual and adjust course re­ quirements to best suit the needs and personalities of their students while maintaining a strong commitment to excellence in instruction. I said most of the teachers. There are some professors in this institution that have a rather poor attitude in their methods of presenting the material. These teachers usually start their course treatening students. I am really upset when I hear a teacher in­ form a class that only a small percenVideri. Perhaps the Grinch had the right idea By WILLIAM C. BALDWIN Appalachian Columnist I hate Christmas. I know it's not cool to bitch about Christmas while it's actually happening, so I was a good little boy (we wouldn't want to piss off Santa, now would we?) and kept my mouth shut all through December. Now that the whole ghastly season is over and the peace-on-earth-goodwill-to-men shit is packed in mothballs for another year, and now that I won't rain on anyone's little red-and-green parade, I feel perfectly justified in taking pot-shots at the holiday. Christmas decorations in stores in September? Why bother to take them down. Ever. Only 343 shopping days until Christmas. I am expecting our Congress to pass a law causing Christmas to happen twice a year. It's so good for the economy. After all, money is the square root of Christmas. No? How about those tacky big yellow signs in front of those churches pro­ claiming, "Jesus is the reason for the season"—those same signs that say, "Welcome Visitors." Of course they welcome you—so that they can guilttrip you into dropping money into the collection plate because you are a heathen 364 days a year. The implica­ tion is pretty obvious—if you give enough money, maybe, just maybe, we won't send you to hell. Maybe. Hallmark eats it up too—with those ornaments—they had the Christmas 1993 ornaments out this year. And—even me—the cynic from hell—I buy Hallmark cards. I care enough to send the best. More of the whole Christmas guilt-trip. What if you can't afford Hallmark? Does that mean you don't care? Of course it does. Even Christmas cards can suck. I got a Christmas card this year from an absolute stranger. I mean, I know who this person is, by reputation. A big Christian on campus sent me a damn Christmas card and made me wish that I had waited another month to check the mail. I know that this person prays fervently and frequently for the salvation of my hell-bound soul, but a Christmas card? Sermon in a note. And you know what? I don't even think it was a Hallmark. Of course, I checked. Hallmark sponsors the flagships of the fleet of wholesome familyoriented Ail-American Christmas TV specials too. I don't know what last year's version was, but I can be damn sure that it was poignant (whatever the hell that means). Then there are my failed heros, the grinch, and Scrooge, and Frosty. And that dumb Charlie Brown thing, and Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (narrated by Burl Ives, who ought to be dead if he's not), and the Walton Christmas special. I'll bet that Bob Barker hosted a parade too. Wretched, wretched, wretched. Weekly World News had an exclusive story—Tammy Faye Bakker's Christmas Message. A twopage spread about how she shops at K-Mart and Sak's, and about how things are so different for her family this year. Hmmm. Jesus is the link between the Bakkers and Christmas. Makes me feel really good about Jesus, how 'bout you? I hate the way Christmas translates love into dollars, but even I am caught in the mess of the whole disastrous season; even I spent too much money. Give till it hurts seems to be the message. I heard that Donald Trump gave his wife Penn­ sylvania for Christmas, and she was disappointed. There's consolation for those of us who hate Christmas. It's those afterChristmas sales. The shoppers, fueled by unbridled greed and armed with money thrown at them by their loved ones, assault retail businesses in droves. It's a truly glorious sight. It's every man for himself. It does my heart good to see those blue-haired ladies clawing at each other like fren­ zied cats in the tooth-and-nail struggle to see who gets to walk home the proud owner of the last Liz Claiborne pantsuit, proving to me and to anyone else who had any doubts that the love and joy of Christmas is a charade acted out by millions of hypocrites. It's always satisfying to Bush the old year down the toilet, and the new year celebration is always a good excuse to drink and uh...drink and then to drink some more. It's the other time of year that we traditional­ ly spend with our loved ones.. .albeit different loved ones than we usually spend Christmas with. One of the best things about New Year's Eve is that in the shuffle of transition from one year to the next there are a few precious hours during which time loses all meaning, and it seems that people become ever so slightly more forgiving. . .in other words, any excuse will do, and you can get away abilities, weaknesses, interests, memory, and faults reside inside the oh-so-changeable shell. When will someone ask for a photograph of my home before I am selected?

Because I was unable to attend, I sent John McPherson, Vice President of A.P.P.S., to explain our reasons for wanting the name change. Senate voted 2-to-l in favor of the name change. 8. Dr. Mclntire recommended the name change to Chancellor Thomas, who approved our proposal due to the extent of the student input that had taken place. When taking samples of a popula­ tion, 800 of 10,000 students, or 12Wo of the population, is a large sample. Rarely do samples exceed 10% of a population. We feel this was a good representation of the student body. The proposal for the name change was made by the students who program for the facility and the decision was voted on by the students who use the facility. Every student had an equal opportunity to be heard concerning this issue. The Administration did not bring up the issue or decide on the name. They merely gave their consent to the name change after being presented with the voting results. I feel it is time for ASU students to quit creating issues in oider to come down on the Administration.

If anything, students should be praising the Administration for listening to students and acting on their requests. In my opinion, no one has the right to complain, because every student had an equal oppor­ tunity to voice their opinions before the decision was made. I believe that every student has the right to express their opinions, but I do not believe they should present their speculations as fact. If someone does not care enough about the issue to get their facts straight before expressing their concerns, they must not care loo much about the issue anyway. In the future, I would encourage my fellow students to continue expressing their opinions freely, for it is their criticism that helps us learn from our mistakes. All I would ask is you get the facts straight before present­ ing a factual story. If you are presenting your opinion, clarify that with your readers. 9 NIKE. HERE. NOW.

Here is the case of a teacher who is merely going through the motions. Your best bet as a students is to drop these academic dictators (perhaps despots would be a more accurate term) like a hot potato. You certainly don't need to subject yourself to their unreasonable at­ titudes towards education, and they don't deserve the privilege of having genuinely concerned students. I have used the phrase "presenting the material" several times in this arti­ cle. There are several definitions in the dictionary; however, there are three specific denoations I am refer­ ring to: to offer for consideration, to offer to view, and to make a gift or award of. It is the responsibility of the educator to actively and en­ thusiastically encourage a desire in the student, to present the material and say "Here it is, and it's really great stuff; I really want to help you learn and understand this material." It is the responsibility of the student to gratefully accept this gift, the most precious gift of all —knowledge. So this semester, instead of going through the motions, try to express a genuine interest in your courses, and let your professors know you ap­ preciate their efforts. Try to give back some of the positive energy these educators are expending on our behalf. Not only will you feel better about your courses (as well as do bet­ ter in them), but you will also en­ courage the professors to continue doing the best they can in their efforts to give us the best possible education.

For the boys there is no loss in self-esteem. It does not seem to be a problem for the guys to handle sexual experience. While the controversy continues in school systems about whose job it is to teach about sex, girls suffer in silence. I don't know about guys, but for a girl, losing her virginity is probably the last step out of innocence and into the grown-up world. Often, she is pressured to try sex because everyone else has, and curiosity gets the best of her intentions. One day she says: "Why not?" and the next day she asks: "Is this what it's all about?"

Surely mature couples do not begin or continue an intimate rela­ tionship without precaution and pro­ tection. The real problem today is perhaps just plain ignorance. Homes, schools, and churches ought to find a way toward providing realistic, prac­ tical sex education very early in a child's life. I am not trying to rush children out of childhood. However, they can't remain there forever. I am suggesting that we guide them with measured steps. We cannot prevent leaping, but perhaps we can en­ courage them to at least look before they leap.

Things would never be the same between us. It all seems so trivial now. I stopped spending the night at her house and we stopped calling each other just to talk about nothing. Then, something really happened. She got a boyfriend. You can figure out the rest. We never really talked again after that. We started hanging around different people and rarely saw each other even in school, except when we were seniors in the same homeroom. We might have said three words to each other that whole year. She was still really friendly toward me, but I never took her up on it. 1 never responded enough for us to really sit down and talk and start over and maybe recap­ ture the very special friendship we had once had. Snot that I was, I outright ignored her sometimes. I was very bit­ ter for a while. I was also very stub­ born and stupid. Graduation comes, and she is my walking partner. What a coincidence. But there's something about gradua­ tion that makes it easy to forgive peo­ ple. It was about time for us to march out and strut our stuff to the strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" and we looked at each other and just smiled. It was that easy.

And on the outside ; chance that someone does remember your behavior the next day, you can always place an extraordinary amount of distance between yourself and the event by casually insisting that, "That was last year." And you can always blame it on the champagne. The thing I always hate about the new year is that I always make resolu­ tions that I don't keep. It's always disappointing to give up on a resolu­ tion, especially after only two days of maintaining the resolution. This year, I've made some resolu­ tions that I know I will keep. I know I will. I will not hire my daughter to do anything. I won't do it. I don't have a daughter. But I wouldn't hire her to do anything even if I did. I promise. Absolutely, under no cir­ cumstances, will I cut off my hand. I don't care if it has the mark of the beast on it. I like my hands. In fact, I'm quite attached to both of them. I plan on keeping them. I will not do heroin, no matter how trendy it becomes to do heroin. Though it's a tempting possibility, I will not rename my apartment Legends. Though there are many legends surrounding my apartment, including the howling ghost and the story about the guy who croaked in my living room and, of course, the legendary checkered past of the former inhabitant of my apartment whose numerous claims to fame include a brief stint of touring with Ratt and being the love child of Elvis Presley. Despite all that, the name Legends seems just a trifle preten­ tious, even for me. I will not eat at Amadeus. I ate there one time last year, and somehow I'm sure I'm not missing anything. Concert fries? An order of four cold things masquerading as fried potatoes? I think not. Someone please tell me that they don't have those any more, and then I'll consider eating there again. I will not watch Three's Company reruns, the Cosby Show, or The Wonder Years. Similarly, I will not read any novels by Danielle Steele, V.C. Andrews or Stephen King. I also will not view any movies starring Bruce Willis. I will not wear patchouli. As I type, I find it necessary to make another resolution.. .one that will keep me out of jail. I will not hire mafia hit-men to kill stupid people who waste my time by enforcing petty rules and regulations that have no basis in practicality. I shall let these insufferable souls live, so that they may torment others long after I have gone and been forgotten. Because I am going to leave this institution one day, and I am going to be someone, be someone, be someone, and those previously mentioned idiots, stuck in dead-end jobs, will be here forever. That's all I have to say. I think. Maybe. But I'll be back. I promise. Maybe.

It tears me up to see them because I feel guilty, which is perhaps unreasonable but unavoidable. I can t help but remember the years I practically lived at their house and all the things I experienced with them. When I go to the beach, eat Chinese food, play pinball, sleep on a water bed, go to Christmas Mass, swim in a pool, or hear about a Clemson game, I will think of them, and I will kick myself for being so dumb and stub­ born and proud. Because those are the feelings that allowed me to let a special friendship drift away. We reconciled somewhat at graduation; but we lost over two years of irretrievable time. Maybe this all seems a little sappy, but I have learned the hard way that pride should never get in the way of any relationship. You should not lose your dignity for anyone, but don't ever be afraid or too stubborn to acknowledge the situation when so­ meone close to you starts drifting away.

Critcher and Derrick filed the suit after being acquitted of five charges including academic dishonesty and other charges by the University Court of Appeals. During the 1987 Spring semester, both students were enrolled in a Real Estate class taught by Johnson. Prior to the beginning of the class, Derrick and Critcher were given a copy of an old test Johnson had administered during an earlier course: Johnson told the students in the class that old copies of some of her tests were available for study in the library. Later in the semester, when Critcher and Derrick were about to be tested on material covered in the old test they used the test, along with class notes and their text, to study with. According to the students' attorney, Frank Goldsmith of Marion, North Carolina, Critcher and Derrick earned grades of B and B minus on the ex animations. Goldsmith commented 011 the events the day of the test. "She (Johnson) essentially got up and told the class that they had two cheaters in the class and named them, Drew Derrick and Barry Critcher, and said... as a result of what she called cheating that she would no longer be able to allow the class to review test material for (taking tests), and that if the class wanted to express their feel­ ings about that, to Drew and Barry that they were welcome to do so. She gave the class • the opportunity to do that," Goldsmith said. "She (Johnson) apparently made the statement in the course of the student judicial hearing that her purpose was to embarrass the students out of the class room, to humiliate them, so we alledge (that) that was intentional infliction of emo­ tional distress," Goldsmith added. Prolessor Johnson did confer with a district jtltornev on the matter. "On another occasion she (Johnson) came in and said that she wanted to update the class on the cheating scam and told the class that she had talked to the district attorney and that the district attorney had said that unless they (Critcher and Derrick) returned the test they could be arrested for possessing stolen property and prosecuted for it," Goldsmith said. According to Goldsmith, Johnson later refused to give the students final grades. Critcher and Derrick insisted that they be prosecuted. "They had to (be prosecuted) in order to get a grade," Goldsmith said. It was decid­ ed that Johnson either had to prosecute the students or give them a grade. "I think the administration really put some pressure on her... Someone in the administration said, 'either give the boys a grade or formally accuse them of cheating so we can have a hearing on this. You can't be the judge, jury, and executioner on this, yourself.' And so she did (prosecute)," Goldsmith said. According to Goldsmith, after the students were acquitted of all charges, Johnson issued them final grades of an F and D. "She was ordered to change the grades from the F and D to a B and B plus. (The) fall semester after all this occurred, they finally got the grades they should have got­ ten," Goldsmith said. Alter being acquitted, Johnson told another professor that Critcher and Derrick had cheated previously. "There is at least one professor we know about, I'm not sure how many professors she talked to . . . I think she asked that pro­ fessor if he had these two boys in his class and sueaested that he keep an eye on them, See SUE Page 2 Colleges failing on AIDS (CPS)—As many as three out of every 1,000 college student's may have AIDS, the preliminary results of a na­ tionwide study involving 20 campuses show. The results, if they hold up when the full study is completed in February, would indicate students are not paying much attention to efforts to get them to change their sex habits and mean a significant portion of the American student body is at risk of catching, and dying of, AIDS, observers said. Director of the University of Col­ orado health center, Dr. Rolan Ziek said, "If the figures hold up, there is more concern than we had an­ ticipated." "If there is an infection late in that range then students will simply have to start paying more at­ tention to educating themselves." "At this point, the numbers are so preliminary it's practically mean­ ingless," Anne Sims of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said. "Meaningful estimates" won't be proper until the study is finished in February. The CDC, along with the American College Health Association, is gather­ ing and testing 1,000 blood samples drawn from students 011 20 campuses for other medical reasons to see how far AIDS has spread. Few know which 20 campuses are in the study, but Tulane and Rutgers universities as well as the universities of Colorado, Maryland and Georgia have acknowledged they are par­ ticipating.

SKI SEASON BEGINS: Although temperatures have bare­ ly been cold enough for snow so far this year, ski slopes around the area have already opened for the season. Brad Moretz of Appalachian Ski Mountain said the first two days of their season they had pretty good attendance. He added that this should be the best season they have had so far. Appalachian Ski Mountain traditionally begins its' season Tips on Thanksgiving weekend but since there was no snow this year they were unable to open until December 2. Most of the slopes have increased prices around two dollars. Students can usually receive a discount if they show their identification cards.

Green advises students "to tion of what his or her goals are for the take what ihev know about themselves and exam. What questions would the student (as See AIDS Page 2 1 licit study habits and to improve on those. the professor) ask? This way the student can try to out guess the teacher and make up his own exam to study. No matter how much one studies, he will most likely find the subject too large and the time too short. It has been estimated that a student should review five to eighteen hours for a final exam. A recent pamphlet on the subject says to "plan your review systematically and consistently. Look at your course outline, your lecture notes and your test notes. What are the major topics in each? Make a listing of them.. . these are all major points that ate particularly impor­ tant and well worth reviewing closely." It can help to skim over things that are unfamiliar and to clarify the "difficult to master" topics on index cards. Using these as flash cards will tap kinetic energy for memory recall. "Studying backwards" is suggested by another pamphlet. "You're most liable to forget what was taught at the beginning of the semester, so start with most recent material and move back so you study the early information just before the test." Reciting material is also beneficial, according to an A.A.P. Student Service booklet. "Cram, only if you must, but be selective. Skim each textbook chapter and each lecture for main ideas and list them on a summary sheet. Then recite...and wish for the best." One way of learning and remembering lists is to take the first letter of each item and make a word. The more nonsensical the word is, the easier it is to remember.

One should remember the exam is only one part of the entire learning process. With the test in hand, it is helpful to read through the whole exam carefully. This will give the student some confidence and help focus concentration. Sometimes clues can be found to answers in this manner. One of the pamphlets advised students to take some scrap paper into the exam. "Use the paper to jot down notes and go ahead and write down key words and phrases from your memory to avoid the consequences of a memory block as you work your way through the exam." One thing to remember is that six incomplete answers usually receive more credit than only three complete ones. So it is important to calculate the time devoted to each question before moving into one. Starting with the easier questions can give a student the confidence to tackle the rest. Two types of exams are usually given to the student. One of these, the objective test, will show one's knowledge of facts and details. Correct answers to multiple choice questions are frequently the longest answers and the choice that fits in best with the stem sentence. When two choices have the same or highly similar meanings, probably neither is correct. The second type is the essay exam which aims at the depth of one's knowledge. It is essential that the student be prepared to use the term, ology of the course in the answers. Knowing the vocabulary of one's discipline will aid the student in understand­ ing the questions. One should be aware of key words in a given question. The student may be asked to define, contrast, compare, discuss, evaluate, prove or criticize. Each word has different meanings requiring dif­ ferent answers. Several ASU students said they wait too late lo be able to pass their exams. "When I think I'm about to fail an exam, I pull a lot of all-nighters," one art major said. "I set aside three days before each exam and budget my time. Worrying about everything won't help so I try to relax; I listen to music." Other students explained their techniques for surviving their final exam ordeals in the following ways: "I chew gum or candy while I study and when I take the exam, I chew my gum and it helps me lo remember," or "just before the exam, I lake some caffeine and then I take a brisk walk." One junior at ASU warned against "too many parties before exams and especially people who have less exams or different exam schedules than you do, as they will rv-'ihahly want you to party." �THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDA Y, DECEMBER 13. 1988 Sue Students need help Continued from Page 1 On December 9, Mike Harward and Jon Dunlow were burned out of their apartment.

Continued from Page 1 that they had cheated in her class and might cheat in his class, or something to that effect," Goldsmith saidCritcher and Derrick filed the suit in April of 1988. "They felt somebody had to put a stop to her, that a professor has not got the right to do what she did," Goldsmith said. "And indeed she doesn't. It's clear under university policy that she has no power to expell a student permanently from her class for cheating without going through the student judicial process," Goldsmith added. Both sides did file motions of sum­ mary judgment. "A summary judgment can be granted when there is no dispute aboui the facts and one party or the other is entitled to judgment as a mat­ ter of law," Goldsmith said. "The judge had a hearing and heard us arguing, and granted both sides mo­ tions of summary judgment. The ef­ fect of that was to dismiss our case against her. "He also granted our motion to dismiss her counterclaim against the students, which was a claim of trespass, what we call conversion of her properly, the test," Goldsmith said. If both sides decide to pursue the case it will go before the North Carolina Court of Appeals, according to Goldsmith. Critcher and Derrick have been in­ formed not to comment on the case to avoid damaging their case, as anything printed can be used against them. According to Johnson's other at­ torney, Bill Pfefferkorn of WinstonSalem, her case is based on the fact that the students used exams they had no business having. Johnson is countersuing on charges of conver­ sion and trespass. Pfefferkorn said Critcher and Derrick stole a test that belonged to Johnson and used her personal property to their advantage without her knowledge or consent. "They (Critcher and Derrick) knew they were not supposed to have it (the test). They denied using it when she first questioned them about it. ., They didn't need to deny it if it was all right for them to have it," Pfef­ ferkorn said. Pfefferkorn said Johnson's suspi­ cions were raised when she noticed that both Critcher's and Derrick's ex­ ams were answered the same. She then called them in and asked them about the test. At first they denied using the test they had been given as a Appalachi^ study guide. Pfefferkorn said that when pro­ ceedings were stated the two students were found guilty of academic dishonesty. They appealed the deci­ sion and the decision was upheld. Ac­ cording to Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Student Development Barbara Daye, when an appeal is heard it is heard by the Vice-Chancellor for Stu­ dent Development, Dr. David Mcln tire. Pfefferkorn claims Johnson was not informed of the time or place of the hearing; therefore, she could not defend her case. "It wasn't fair to her," he said. Pfefferkorn said (this case) has a lot to do with who is in charge in the classroom. It was two very large males against one petite female. "They intimidated her. I don't think they should be allowed to come back into the classroom after being told not to. They did not give her any warning. They just came in there and showed up," Pfefferkorn said. "I feel she had a right to discuss with the class about something that could af­ fect their grades, the class had an in­ terest in the matter," Pfefferkorn ad­ ded. 11 south Apartments • 1 and 2 and | suite to subleaSe NOW Leasing For Spring Semester 264-6621 Coll today for an a p p o i n t , ^ CONSISTENTLY COW.

PRATHER Appalachian Staff Writer Editor's Note: One year ttito, Curtis Prat Iter hud the "pleasure" to interview Tipper Core, president of Parent's Music Resource Center. One of Core's most outspoken proponents on the censorship of rock music is Jello Biafra. Billed The Spoken Word Tour, one-time Dead Kennedy member Jello Biafra spent close to four hours talk­ ing to an unusually receptive crowd this past Thursday in Farthing Auditorium. Delighting the "frothy alternative fans" in attendance, Jello spoke on a variety of subjects. Dividing the evening into two parts, he utilized his spotlight to first address a variety of political and social problems, then returned to discuss a subject near and dear to him—censorship. Not leaving any political stone unturned, Biafra attempted to show open minded people the danger we, as a nation, arc in. Most of the "bit" he did in the first half painted a very bleak picture of a world controlled by a "Big Brother-like" police state, and was very specific in his examples of how the United States was moving towards this (in "five more years?"). A lot of Biafra's comments/opinions/facts did not set too well with a few thick-necked individuals. They did not like hearing the ugly truth about such 80's folk heroes like Ronald Reagan, George Bush or the ever popular Ollie North. Biafra talked of control by the government increasing, and freedom of the people decreasing, which was a very scary thought to grasp. At an early breakfast interview, Jello admitted to me that some of what he talked about was exaggerated to make a point. "We aren't there yet," he said in reference to the United States becoming a "police stale," but he said that, "We are definitely moving in that direction." Well-educated and very articulate, Jello entertained those at Farthing who had both open minds and eyes. Topics were as diverse as a "Correc­ tional School" (that would "condi­ tion kids" away from heavy metal or "Satan's music") to "drugs," to the connections between the "Religious Right" and the "Conservative Right,' to condoms, and to what a scary thing "President Ouayle" would be. My favorite was his funny and creative solutions to the many bands that use the same old cliche names (my favorite being to name a heavy metal band "Mondale"). There were many more topics of discussion by Jello, most of them informative, and all of them entertaining. In response to my question of what responsibility the American govern­ ment has to the people, Jello said, to provide a decent quality of life. "I don't think though, that people necessarily need a government to pro­ vide that decent quality of life," he said. "However, with rednecks run­ ning around in their pick-up trucks with gunracks, pure anarchy could never work," he added. After a 15 minute intermission, Jello came back on stage without the set of notes he had had during the first set to talk some more. This time lie was speaking not from the benefit of research, but from pure experience. This was when he went into detail of his favorite topic. Tipper Gore and Censorship. This was perhaps what hail brought the most people out to see him. But for those of you who weren't there, or may not be familiar with the story^ here in a very brief nutshell is the saga of Jello's fight for the First Amend­ ment. Jello's independently produced band the Dead Kennedy's, put out an album in 1985 called Eraiikenchrist. Inside the record sleeve (an album that did contain a Warning Sticker), was a poster of an abstract painting by an award-winning Impressionist, II.R. Giger. This painting is currently hanging on display in a public museum where it is seen on a daily basis. However, this did not stop police in los Angeles from arresting Jello and others involved for "distributing harmful materials to a minor" after a 14 vear-old girl bought the album. Copies of the record were seized, as Jello came very close to serving a year in jail. A year and a half later, the case was thrown out of court by a frustrated judge. Included in his personal battles with our court system, Jello also talked about the dangerous threat of Tipper Gore, and her many powerful friends. He talked about how it A cen­ sorship when the PMRC makes a "Black I ist" of groups they think are harmful.

Touring Europe with Dr.Rupp By BILLY VINSON Ass. Appalachian Fit Cetera t.dilor The English Department is again sending a group of students to Europe. I was a part of last year's group. As a veteran of the European experience, 1 would like to submit a short narrative about my experiences. I don't remember what day it was when we flew into Athens, Greece. I do remember that a fat old Greek guy had been sleeping between my legs for the past 11 hours, and the fish I had for dinner was sitting like a brick in my gut. Athens was hot and crowded and loud, but somehow we made it to our hotel. "Twenty-seven more days of this," I thought, and I was already dying for a Big Mac. Then we went on a cruise. Oh, we hopped around in the Aegean Sea for a few days, bathing in the sun and throwing down sand­ wiches beside the pool. Those Euro­ pean women really do lay out topless, but they sure get indignant when they catch you looking. After the cruise we saw a few museums and ruins and caught a ferry to Italy. Everybody got seasick on the ferry, but I won a lot of drachmas from English professor Dr. Rupp in a poker game. In Italy we went to Rome and Venice, but my fondest memory is Florence. It was there that my friend Michelle Hollowell and I got hopelessly lost. We were supposed to meet the group at this statue of Dante, but somehow we wound up halfway to Switzerland. Luckily Michelle had her credit card, so everytime we made a wrong turn we'd sit down and have a beer. By the time we found that damn statue, there were about three Dantes, but we just V v ' ^ 'aus!"

In Germany I was getting a little homesick, though.

I almost got in a fight with a Welsh sailor in a pub, because I was trying to convice him that Rocky Marciano was not from Wales, but rather I contended he was an Italian from Philadelphia. I finally gave in, and he smiled an told me I was a good Yank and that he had been to North Carolina before. "That's where the Mardi Gras is, ay?" "Right," I said. I'm a good Yank. So that's the Reader's Digest ver­ sion of my many exploits in Europe, about which I could talk all night. This year's trip will be a bit dif­ ferent. From May 29 until June 27, Dr. Richard Rupp and Dr. William Wolff, both English professors will be leading the group through a tour of central Europe, starting in Lugano, Switzerland. From there, Rupp and Wolff will teach a medieval and Renaissance literature course for the first two weeks of the trip worth three credit hours. From here the travel will continue and some of the spots on the itinerary include Geneva, Innsbruck, Vienna, Salzburg, Munich, Prague, and many other famous places. Students will have to keep a journal and write a synthesis paper, but they will receive three more hours credit and will have the time our their life. The cost of this year's trip is $2,424, but there's a good chance that that could change to a lower price. Those interested in the study abroad trip to Europe need to go down to Dr. Rupp's office (217 Sanford Hall) or Dr. Wolff's ofice (233 Sanford) to find out more details. The first pay­ ment of $1,900 is due by January 20. Candlelight entertains Santa triummouth full of fish K tmas. S O m e t i m es. gave his Spoken Word Tour on censorship at Far­ Performer Tim Settimfwas the latest entertainment at Club Candlelight. The Appalachian Popular Pro­ gramming Society held the fourth show in the Club Candlelight series on December 2. The evening's feature performer was Tim Settimi, an enter­ tainer/artist of a most unusual quali­ ty, and quantity. In his act, Settimi combines the humor of comedy, and the fascina­ tion of mime with music, singing and pratfall rollerskating to throughly delight the audience. After starting his act with some zany stunts on rollerskates, Settimi took off the rollerskates and got down to the business of serious (sometimes not-soserious) comedy. Two of Setlimi's routines are being considered for MTV. He performed both of these pieces during his act at the Student Union Pub. The first song is called "Refugees" and takes place in a bar. The song deals with the lonely refugees who end up in bars after searching for somewhere to go." The bartender mimes the actions of the song. The second piece also takes place in a bar, with a barender mime; however, this part was concerned more with individual growth than social ills. Settimi began his career as a mime street performer appearing in such cities as Boston, New York and Chicago. Further north, in Canada, he has appeared in Toronto and Mon­ treal. After his acts became stronger and his skills encompassed much more than just mime, Settimi moved his act from the street to the stage. Settimi incorporates both comedic and classical mime into his act, but does not limit his performance to just those two areas. He also incorporates stand up comedy with acrobatic and pratfall roller skating into his acts. Settimi appears in theaters at col­ leges and universities in comedy clubs and arts festivals throughtout the country. Named the 1988 Campus Entertainer of the Year by the Na­ tional Association of Campus Ac­ tivities.

It's that time of year when our relatives de­ mand from us what we want from Santa. This year ail I'm asking for is a diploma. After four and one half years, my college career is quickly drawing to a close. I've gone through a lot of changes since the early days of spiked wrist bands, artillery belts, contacts and safety pins, and as I prepare to leave Boone, I feel both relieved and sen­ timental. Though college only takes up a short part of one's life, I pro­ bably find it more meaningful due to the fact that it is during this time we enter adulthood. Personally speaking, 1 was hoping to hit puberty before my 22nd birthday and wake up with a full beard and the works but, alas!—it was not to be so. Odd things have happened this semester alone. Conrad Stadium woke up one morning as Kidd Brewer Stadium (did 1 hear a cash register?). H Appy's did one better by changing its name to Legends. A couple of years ago when a name change for H'Appy's was first brought into ques­ tion, I presented to A.P.P.S. my choice of what I thought was a cool name. Though I'm a bit irked that "The Electric Orgasm" was not chosen, 1 now believe that I enjoyed best the original name, which was of course, Winn-Dixie. Students who disliked the sculptures placed around campus found it better to destroy what displeased them rather than to write a commentary to the paper about it. It certainly didn't help matters either when SGA Vice-President Frank "Moose" Callis wrote to The Ap­ palachian that "the one in front of Newland ought to be blow-torched." Could a lot of these outbreaks of mindless vandalism simply be overzealous SGA supporters high on omelets made from hot dogs and hardened cheese remnants? Everyone got into a fury over ar­ ticles written by Quentin Compson, a satirist. Not only did Quentin evoke the most response from the campus community that I've ever seen, he also gave a few writers something to harp on. Yeah, 1 know I could have come out of retirement earlier furiously screaming, "I KNOW WHO QUEN­ TIN IS! I KNOW WHO QUENTIN IS!" but once you've beaten a horse to death, is it really necessary to prop him back up to try to ride again? Speaking of controversy, Boone was blessed by the arrival of Brother Jim, a traveling preacher-type who told all, who cared to listen, that if a person were born with genitals he was going to Hell. Okay, maybe he didn't exactly put it that way but the message was clear enough. Rumor has it that Brother Jim has a degree in psychology, and was invited to the campus by the Psychology Depart­ ment as an experiment to raise response in the student body. If this is true, then judging by the crowd gathered on Sanford Mall and all the redundantly ignorant remarks spewed from callers to WASU, I'd say old Jimbo accomplished his goal. (Ever get the feeling you've been had?) Local music. Where do I start here? Okay, let's try to sum it up as best as possible. Boone has a pretty darn diverse music scene but since a lot of people don't know how to classify the different bands (are classifications really even necessary?) they slap the tag "Alternative" on anything that isn't country, disco or crotch-rock. Sollecito's with the five movies play­ ing was most artistic) and energetic music, provide the crowd with the entertainment they want, so let's give it a rest, shall we? Finally, two things that I didn't think would happen within the same week. Roy Orbison died before I had a chance to see him, and Jello Biafra came to speak at Farthing Auditorium. In the last four and a half years, I've lost a lot of things: money, tapes, a gullible innocence, art projects, hair, my virginity, my temper, my mind and my mealcard (but only tem­ porarily). What I've gained, however, besides an education and some stressrelated allergies, is something more vital and more important: the lasting friendships I have gained with fellow students and professors. So, without further ado, here is a final note of thanks and goodbye to: my professors in Wey Hall, Joe Murphy, The Dead Wives of Jerry Lee Lewis (will he ever play?), Charles Ledbetter, The Outer Limits, Leigh Ann, Maggie, Miriam, Becky, Senior Portfolio Class, Bill Baldwin, Curtis Prather, Laura W., Laura P., anyone I've ever hooked up with Fear and Loathing, all the young Loathers (thanks for keeping the faith), Lynne, Lisa and Kelly (the wit­ ches of Eastwick), Seeing Fields, Life After Lunch, No Reason Why, Ashley, Thad, Kevin, Bob Clark, Wolfe, Mac, Wendy, Tony Hank, George E. Scott, Jeff Jones, Jay (Jet Boy) Scott, Kenny, JoAnn, Tina, Blair, Daniel, Jack, Josh, Paul, Frankie, anybody else I know, Ingrid (thanks for nights in July and much inspiration in poetry), and finally Rob Mathews, the coolest, most laid-back hippie-boy ever, and last but certainly not least, one of the first people I met at this school, and perhaps the best exponent I have acquired by attending ASU: the friendship of my best friend and roommate, Jon Edwards. Peace, joy and voodoo rockabilly to you all. XOXOXOXOXO, etc. My leaping shoes in storage, I leave with you a friendly tap on the head (a symbol of my affection) and this quote: REACH wt" o r " w ••••••••••• TEACH. Why there is any competition among any of the local bands is beyond me because they are all so dif­ ferent from each other. It's this sim­ ple: No Reason Why sounds nothing like The Outer Limits. Burning Giraffe (now Siamese Urbane) sounds nothing like Fear and Loathing. Life After Lunch sounds nothing like any of the above while No Reason Why and Fear and Loathing maybe sound kinda sorta like each other but that's only maybe. Fear and Loathing and The Quter Limits are at opposite poles from each other, so it makes sense that fans of Fear and Loathing might not be fans of The Outer Limits and vice-versa. Get it? Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. That's what makes individuality so doggone wonderful. You should support all local bands because if it weren't for them, you'd be stuck with nothing to do (My fave cover band? Moral Chaos. Check them out sometime.) Getting back to Fear and Loathing, what's the big deal? People get upset over the fact that Fear and Loathing have a rambunctious following that slam into each other and are always out of control or whatever.

Appalachian defines Rhododendron as a great way to keep those wonderful memories of univer­ sity life at ASU with you forever. This year's edition of the Rhododendron is rolling right along with the aid of Robin Ballew and the rest of her staff. This year's edition is a little dif­ ferent according to Ballew, "The Rhododendron is going to have an in­ dex which makes it special this year. We have a lot of people working on it this year, a lot of new names and faces," Ballew added. When asked if there had been any problems with the Rhododendron this year Ballew responded, "We have not come across any serious problems as of yet but motivation is always a pro­ blem." Ballew continued, "It is hard to give 100 percent effort to something vou will not see the results of until May. We are still giving it our best and this year's edition is going to be great!"

When we do it should come in very handy," Ballew ctatpH Deadlines are important to any yearbook staff. "The Rhododendron has deadlines set up every two weeks with the printing company," Ballew said. They have to turn in anywhere from 20 to 40 pages which includes pictures and copy. Layouts tor yearbooks are always a very important part. As far as the layouts for the Rhododendron are concerned they have a staff of three section editors with three layout designers. Together they decide the final layout of the pages. Robin Ballew started working for the Rhododendron when she was a sophomore and has been involved with it ever since. She first started to work with yearbooks in high school, and when she saw an ad for yearbook openings here at Appalachian, she ap­ plied. The big secret to any yearbook is the theme. Everyone working on the yearbook always keeps it a big secret. I tried unsuccessfuly to get the Rhododendron's theme from Ballew. She replied, "I can't tell you the theme. It's a secret! But this year's is »ning to be Drettv interesting!" •vM U j Jjigg OLD FASHIONED The Rhododendron will be on sale through January 27. You can pick up your copy at Workman Hall. The cost is $7 to students. Ballew encourages students to come out and buy a copy soon. If you are looking for a good way to keep all those wild college memories then go out and buy your own copy of the Rhododendron soon, when May comes you'll be sorry you didn't.

For le, when Perry took the test he TIP' three correct. A second time — - he f o u r right. After having the corntake the 10-question test 500 L fie had no tests in which he got > right and none in which he got a c t score. He got more 50s (five ht) than any other score, followed w o r e s of 40 and 60. But there were 1 tests with seven correct, which ..it utes a passing socre, some with t and some with nine. There were some tests with one, two or three ^ hen Perry had the computer take lOO -question test 500 times, the Bts veremuch different. While the number right was again in the 50 range, there were no scores above 60 and none below 40. So while the 10-question test offers a higher chance for a low-score, it also offers you a better chance for a passing score, Kader said. 'The best test you could take is one with one question. You have a 50-50 chance of passing it, but if you pass you get a score of 100," Kader said. Perry and Kader have produced 12 computer models and will eventually have 16 total. Most of these models solve problems much more sophisti­ cated than the true-false test, Perry said. Both professors are working with high school teachers in Forsyth and Mecklenburg counties and in Morganton and Newland, who will use the programs in their classrooms and make recommendations for im­ provements. "Statistics and probability are con­ ceptually very visual subjects, so the programs have lots of graphics," Perry said. Students can actually do a probability experiment on the com­ puter and study the results in graphical displays, and learn pro­ bability through experience rather than from a textbook. "We're trying to do some real pro­ blems, presenting mathematics in an experimental sort of way," Perry said. "We're trying to get out of the textbook. Textbooks teach the mechanics of mathematics but fre­ quently ignore problem-solving.'' Perry said they plan to implement their materials in schools in eastern N.C. next summer, and will eventual­ ly take the programs to schools na­ tionwide. In 1983 the Madison Commission on Excellence in Education published its "A Nation at Risk" report, which suggested that public schools are settl­ ing for mediocrity in education, par­ ticularly in mathematics and science. The report made several recommen­ dations for mathematics, including that high school students should be better prepared in probability and statistics. This was the beginning of a series of reports criticial of mathematics and science education. "Our project is in response to those criticisms," Perry said. The National Council for Teachers of Mathematics has established a set of standards that recommends changes in the mathematics curricula in all grade levels. "Those recommendations will turn the whole curriculum upside down, but their recommendations in­ clude our approach," he said.

DECEMBER 13. 1988 Rosens support vital to Appalachian art By JENI GRAY should they have to go to Europe to get recognition? They don't have a chance here because there is so little money available, but in Europe artists are supported. We're hoping that some day, somewhere, someone will hear and listen to one of our artists." Supporters of the arts in Miami as well, the Rosens helped establish the Miami Salon Group, fashioned after the old European salon groups which supported new composers and per­ formers. They are hoping that at least a portion of their donation to An Ap­ palachian Summer can be used for something similar. The Rosens, who live part of the year at Linville Ridge, say Ap­ palachian's Broyhill Music Center was the key to their involvement with the university. Several years ago they attended a Special to the Appalachian If you had to give a name to Arnold and Muriel Rosen, it would have to be "champions of America's young ar­ tists." The Rosens, natives of Miami, Fla., were instrumental in the found­ ing of An Appalachian Summer, ASU's summer-long festival of music, dance, theater and art. They have re­ mained patrons of the festival since its beginning four years ago, and recent­ ly pledged continued support by donating $500,000 to the festival. The Rosens have dedicated themselves to the promotion of the arts, primal ily out of concern for young artists in America. "In all forms of art, they have such a hard time getting any place or getting any recognition," Mr. Rosen said. "Whv concert at the center by the Western Piedmont Symphony. "The con r uctor turned around to the audience and said, This is the first time we'.ve ever heard ourselves,' because the acoustics were so good," Mr. Rosen said. An Appalachian Summer Artistic Director Robert Chumbley was then executive director of the Chopin Foundation in Florida, and was trying to arrange concerts for the winner of a musical competition. The Rosens, who were involved with the competi­ tion, called Chumbley to tell him about Appalachian's music facility. When Chumbley visited Boone, he began talking with music department chair Bill McCloud. "W i f hiri 48 hours we had planned tne tirst chamber music festival," Chumbley said. "Bill McCloud was remarkably receptive to NciUl . 'shhyi Nice1 someone he'd never met." The first chamber festival marked the birth of the Broyhill Chamber Ensemble, which includes Chumbley, composer; his wife, Shirley Trek, pianist; flutist Linda Chesis; cellist James Kreger; violinist Gil Morgenstern; pianist Dean Kramer; violinist Nardo Poy; and mezzosoprano Katherine Ciesinski. The music department was plan­ ning to expand its summer program with the North Carolina Symphony, so that program became a part of the festival and other events, such as an annual sculpture competition, were added to the growing list. "It all sorted of jelled —it all fit together,"Mr. Rosen said. "It really has grown from a little bitty thing to a big operation. We kind of feel like it's our baby," Mrs. Rosen said. The Rosens would also like to videotape the process of creating the new works to record the creation and teaching processes. Vl'e r Don'.

ASU got off to an early start when State punter, Chris Mervin, subing for regular punter Rodney Connor, who had injured himself in a fall the night before, gave them the ball at the State 43. Two plays later Rick Doty hit Jeff Beal on a throwback at the 28. As he was about to be wrestled down by the State defender he lateraled to Floyd Bishop, who carried to the 2 yard line. On the next play, Chris Wallace dived over and Mike Gorenflow hit the point making the score 7-0 Appalachian. Later in the period, ASU got another poor punt at their 37 and marched down, despite a couple of penalties, to score on a Rick Doty to Blanton Allen pass from the three. Gorenflow made the PAT and it was 14-0. State never came across midfield in the first half. They were able to gain control of field position in the second half and were able to push inside the ASU 10 twice, but penalties and fumbles stop­ ped them from scoring. They finally got their six points late in the fourth quarter on a punt from their own 19, with 6:47 left, an ASU player was call­ ed with a personal foul in the line.

ASU Club Soccer team mugs for the Appalachian camera. Club Soccer takes tourney By DOUG DEWAR Appalachian Slaff Writer Last Saturday December 3, the Men's Club Soccer Team traveled to Johnson City, Tennessee to win the ETSU Indoor Soccer Tournament. The Tournament was played in the ETSU Gymnasium with six players allowed on the court, including the goalie. The teams were divided up in­ to two groups of four with the win­ ners of each bracket playing each other for the championship. The club's first game was against the Johnson City Divided. The Divid­ ed jumped to a quick lead by scoring the first goal. ASU came back quick­ ly, however, and scored on a goal by Ted Perri. The score remained tied at 1-1 for the remainder of the half. The second half started with a goal by the Divided on an indirect kick but was followed by an ASU goal made by Jake Curren. This left the score tied at 2-2. Both teams played hard to get the fifth goal, but it was the Moun­ taineers who scored next on a goal by Niall Anderson. Johnson City fought hard to tie up the game but, were unsuccesful as ASU scored another goal by Chris Baird, to end Johnson City's chances. The match ended with the Apps winning 4-2. The Mountaineers' next game in Lady Mountaineers beat By PAUL L. CARROLL Appalachian Slafl Wriler The Lady Mountaineer basketball team returned home last Saturday to face the Aggiettes of North Carolina A&T. Cool play down the stretch and impressive free throw shooting guided the Lady Apps to a much needed 74-71 win. The victory over NC A&T ended a three game losing streak. ASU had lost to Old Dominion, South Carolina, and Radford by a combined 65 points. Saturday's win should restore some of the Lady Moun­ taineers' confidence. North Carolina A&T started the game with good intensity. The Aggi­ ettes played well the first seven minutes of the game and when Eileen Patterson, a 6'3" freshman from Martinsville, Va, scored on two inside layups in a row, NC A&T found themselves in the lead 10-9. The Lady Apps did not fold under the pressure on Saturday. Down by one, Shannon Thomas grabbed an offensive rebound, was fouled, and converted on one free throw to tie the contest. Beth Laney and Kim Johnson then scored two baskets forcing NC A&T Flead Coach Tim Abney to call a timeout with the score 14-10 ASU. "Shannon (Thomas) came in and did the job on the boards for us. She played like a six footer, not a 5'10" forward. Her poise allows her to play like an upperclassman, not a freshman," Head Coach Linda Robinson said following the game. After the Aggiette's timeout, both team's defenses took over the game. The Lady Mountaineers played a pressure defense all over the floor and held NC A&T scoreless for 6:11 until ' n any ' " ^ ' l « r o | 0 t ' n ® s t 0 PP' n g Apke from Ur _ *'f losses." vtm,, i , ...

At this point, the Apps began to completely dominate the game and began to score one goal after anothef. Goals were scored by Steve Mann(4), Chris Baird(4), Doug Dewar(l), Rick Dail(l) and two more by Ted Perri to give the Apps the 14-2 victory. The Apps played next for the Championship game against Millegan College. In this final game, ASU came out strong and continued to play well throughout the game, beating Millegan opponents 5-0. ASU scored their first goal on an excellent penalty kick by Baird. The Apps were able to put in two more goals before the end of the half by Perri and Jake Curren, to give the Mountaineers a lead of 3-0. In the second half, the Apps scored two more goals by Anderson and Perri. This gave ASU the final victory score of 5-0 and the Tournament Trophy. The Apps demonstrated their win ning ability and high skill level by not only winning the tournament but also by their complete dominance over their opponents. The ASU defense was extremely strong as well, with outstanding play by goalkeeper Craig Dunn. Coach Ted Perri feels that the club team can even play better once they start practicing. "Overall, we played good consider ing we didn't get a chance to practicindoors before the tournament, but 1 think we can play a lot better than we did," Perri said. Perri is also looking forward to some more competitive tournaments. "The competition wasn't as good as we expected, so we're just going tc look at it as sort of a warm-up tourna­ ment and hopefully get into some more competitive games after Christmas break," he said. As far as the future for the Clul Soccer team Perri said,we will play more indoor tournaments throughout the winter and then in the spring we'll play outdoor again and hopefully win the North Carolina State Cup. A&T 74-71 ' a n would probably have ^ ah" l ^Tinn school team to play in * Varsity Gym. But V n t See h" h the tournament was against Moody Aviation, to see who would play for the championship game. ASU whip­ ped Moody 14-2. The game started out close with Moody scoring the first goal. ASU tied it up however, with a goal by Perri. A few moments later, ASU was called for a foul and Moody was able to score again on a free kick to give them the lead by 2-1. ASU scored again seconds later, however with another goal by Perri. Deidre Cheeks scored a layup for the Aggiettes with 3:40 remaining in the half. Meanwhile, NC A&T played a staunch man to man defense and held the Lady Apps to only 2 points in 7:12 until Peggy Roda hit for two with 4:54 left in the first half. "Peggy Roda did a very nice job for us on offense in the first half," Robinson said. After another Roda layup put ASU seven points up, 24-17, with 1:34 left in the half, the Aggiettes put together an offensive burst. NC A&T scored three quick buckets, the last at the buzzer, to close the score to 24-23 ASU. "I was disappointed in our play the first half. We didn't play with a lot of intensity. After three losses in a row, we seemed to be playing scared," Robinson said. The intensity that was missing from the ASU women in the first half sur­ faced early in the second. Kim Johnson scored on a layup on a pass from Joanie Bracket I, Beth Laney and Debbie Swicegood hit from out­ side to pump the lead back up to 7. Held scoreless in the first stanza, Debbie Swicegood came alive in the second to score 10 points. "We wanted Debbie to have a good game. She hit some key buckets and made some good passes," Robinson said. The Lady Mountaineers withstood some early runs until Beth Laney became hot. With 13:29 left in the game, Laney drove the ball down the court and hit Kim Johnson under the basket with a beautiful no look pass. Johnson converted and the ASU lead ballooned to 42-31. NC A&F did not cave in to the ASU pressure. A well designed full court press and the offensive wizardry of Paulctte Dennis sliced the I ady Mountaineer lead to only 61-60 late in the game. The Aggiettes' pressure harried the Lady Apps and forced three turnovers in a row. "We can't take anything like their press for granted this year. We can handle it and do things well if we tell everyone what they arc doing," Robinson said. The game stayed close until the final buzzer. There was one moment of great concern for Head Coach Robinson when senior Debbie Swicegood fouled out with little over a minute remaining in the game. Freshman Mitzi Yount came into the game and hit a key basket as well as two free throws down the stretch to salt the game away, 74-71. Unlike ASU's previous game against Radford, free throw shooting I oved to be the Lady Mountaineers' winning margin. Linda Robinson's troops hit on 30-34 tosses from the charity stripe for an 88.2°<i. "We did what we had to do in the clutch to win tonight. Our women did a better job on the boards and at the line. We saw progress tonight," Robinson said. High scorers in the game were Beth Laney for ASU with 17 and Paulctte Dennis for NC A&T with 21, with 17 of those in the second half. "We had lost three in a row. Con­ sidering that, I'm pleased with our performance. We easily could have folded. Our kids didn't and I'm really proud of that," Robinson said. "There were two freshmen who really played well for us tonight. Shannon Thomas and Mitzi Yount. Mitzi is a clutch player. She has the poise to make the right decisions in the clutch," Robinson added. The I ady Mountaineers travel to Georgia Tech on Tuesday in their final game before break. ASU's next home game is January 10 against Campbell. The Southern Conference season starts January 6. when the Lady Apps lake on the I ady Paladins of Furntan. �THE APPALACHIAN^ TUESDA Y, DECEMBER 13, 1988 THE APPALACHIAN THE APPALACHIAN COMMENTARY SHELLEY KAEHR Editor-in-Chief TRENT HUFFMAN CINDY POWERS Managing Editor Business Manager JON JIMISON News Editor ASHI.EY McADOO LINNEA MARTINSON A.M.

The Appalachian wishes everyone a very happy holiday season! f Thanks Because there will be several new editions to our editorial staff next semester, I would like to thank everyone who worked at The Appalachian this semester. First, thanks to eaeh of our section editors: Jon Jimison, Tinnea Martinson, Ashley McAdoo, Billy Vinson, Michele Hollowell, Annette Brandle, Nicole Parsons, Sabrina Sells, Aubrey Hoover, Trey Horack and Mark Williams. You have all done a'super job! A special thanks to Managing Editor, Trent Huffman. Your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated! Production Manager, Heather Hartsog and the entire production staff deserve a round of applause, particularly during those times when we experienced "all nighters" in the production of the paper. Everyone at The Appalachian appreciates the effort you have all put forth. Sammy Hartley and Lee McCaskey were particularly helpful in the interim between advisors. Thank you both so much for listening, and helping when needed! Our new advisor, Mary Ann Sabo, has been invaluable this semester. Thank you so much for putting forth 100 percent and helping us all! I've really enjoyed working with you! Good luck to the new members of our editorial staff in the spring: Jenelle Autry, Bill Baldwin, Shauna Walker, Ken Jones and Eric Miller. I am looking forward to working with each of you in the spring! I was rinsing dirty glasses after a gathering of my favorite people when I suddenly realized that, 1988 was, for all practical purposes, over. Big deal? Maybe. 1988 leaves me just as most of my relationships do—wondering what I missed out on. The time distance between mid-December 1987 and mid-December 1988 is in the neighborhood of 8,960 hours, many of which I have spent trying to adjust myself to a set of entirely unsatisfac­ tory circumstances. It's been day after day filled with juicy rationalization, bitter substitutes and patience that has astounded even me. A year later, the unsatisfactory circumstances have set themselves on the way to again becoming satisfactory. Amazing. Cosmic? The reality distance of the past 8,960 hours is infinite, which also implies circularity, which, I suppose, must mean that some things have returned. Let A = A. Because 1 say so, that's why. I digress here. 1 have been called "wicked" and "the source of all evil in the universe" because I write abstractly about real people which I, for positive and/or negative results, know. As an observer, I watch people and make my judgments about them based on what they do to/for other people. As a writer, I selectively report what 1 see in a specific manner, and using a specific language. . methods I use to better support my biases, prejudices and particular point of view. I like to think of my fiction and commentary as reality reflected in the unpredictable ripples of a pond or in the laugh—provoking distortions of a funhouse mirror. Writing, like life, should never be taken too seriously!" Back to the topic of my digres­ sion: My writing about individuals that I know. I can find no better defense for what I do than successful precedent. The vivid characters in literature—Irving's Garp, Fitzgerald's Gatsby, Faulkner's Quentin Compson, Maupin's Michael Toliver, Chabon's Arthurs, (I could go on for days, but shall not)—the characters that could easily step from the pages of their home, the novel, into your home, and say, "Hello, how are things?"—these individuals are obviously not complete fabrications. Rather, they are caricatures created by their respective authors based on a particular person (or a composite of several people) that the author has observed in action. Literature (or commentary) with a point to make (no matter how deeply entrenched in elaborate plot that point may be) must have a basis in truth (truth with a small "t" because 1 as a human being, apologies to Mark Williams, my good friend and editor, have rio concept of Truth with a capital T). Since truth cannot be defined (at least in terms that satisfy me) the truth 1 refer to must be arbitrarily defined as perceived real experience. Thus, I write about peo­ ple and events henceforth without apology. iy88 has given me Mona, a fictional monster based on a real monster. I have derived great pleasure from writing about Mona during 1988 (it seems ironic that Mona, who claims not to hate anyone, merely to love some people less than she loves others (Mona, who sincerely hates me with all her heart, should be indirectly responsible for my fun and happiness). It is my sincerest wish to preserve on paper for future generations the pettiness, vengefulness, melodrama, stupidity and martyrdom of Mona. During 1988, Mona left many friends behind in the wake of her pettiness, while dragging many more friends with her to a level so low that it was unprecedented even for her. While all of her former friends (as well as her current friends and enemies) suffered complex emotional traumas this year (usually caused by Mona in one way or the other, by Mona), Mona (as agreed by all) has i had "the Teflon year." Only Mona, though, has spent the year whining about being emotionally raped and accomplishing absolutely nothing. Just as the shirt (See Dick drink. See Dick drive. See Dick die. Don't be a Dick.) has become a trend, I would like to inspire a Mona shirt (See Mona moan. See Mona blame. See Mona fail. Don't be a Mona.). As Emily announced, Mona Lives!!! And the world needs to be warned. Another individual I've watched this year is an ego without a personali­ ty, a writer without a message, a worthless twit hated by his friends. He's been indignant without justifica­ tion, and he's so dimwitted that he can't always tell when he's been in­ sulted. We'll call him Ralph. Ralph is the perfect literary hus­ band for Mona. He and Mona can have a petty Sagittarian wedding, squeeze out petty Sagittarian piglets and make each other miserable with their petty Sagittarianism. Ralph has really disappointed me. At first I thought that he was just an illiterate buffoon who had wormed his way into school after serving time for having his way with one of the sheriff's cows. Over the course of the year, Ralph has proved that he is just a horrible person. (P e r s M l I Ralph): Ralph, any writer whov 'l steal another writer's work J l keep it from being publisheddtj whatever unpleasant conseq«J are dished out.

I was reading some suggestions on how to be a good parent and how to bring up good children. There were many things you would expect such as: love them unconditionally, teach them responsibility, and give them religious instruction. The final sugges­ tion was to "let them go." That reminded me of the pain for the parent and the child when that process begins in adolescence. The rebellion and tension are so common that teenagers get most of the blame. Parents can facilitate the transition from childhood to the adult world by learning how to let go. It is important to remember that independence is not achieved overnight. You may have made great progress while you have been away from home. However, as you return for the holidays, you may wonder who you are when your parents begin to com­ ment about your hair style, weight, clothing or choice of friends. Certain­ ly, they have told ycu that what you do at school and the grades you make reflect how you have used your time. But, watch out for the screams when you mention you are failing a class. Don't bother at this point to remind them that most great people learned the most from their failures. Be patient with your parents and remember there were no special pro­ grams of study for this situation. While you may be aware of your mother's empty nest anxiety, it does not lessen her pain. She knows the logical order of human development and that you must learn to lead a life of your own. It is easy to forget that you are no longer 14 years old and need nagging. She knows you will make some good and some bad choices. She may be recalling her own experiences at your age and perhaps it was a hurtful separation. My own mother was kicked out of her home when she chose to marry my father against the wishes of my grandlather. I have often heard the story of their early struggles and the stubborn refusal of my grandfather to accept the situation. His not letting go with dignity caused enormous pain to many people. We often become the kind of parent that was modeled for us. Fortunately, my mother learned a valuable lesson from the way she was treated. She determined early to let go when the time was ripe. She nurtured and loved nine children with wisdom and common sense. I vividly recall the smiles of joy and pride as they of­ ficially let me go at my wedding testivities. It was one of the greatest gifts I received.

That's the production staff. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be reading this right now. They give up their Monday and Wednesday nights to make sure you have a paper to read on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's usually a thankless job that no one knows about, but we wanted to thank them for all their work this semester The members of the production staff are: Rayford Cannon, Martin Clemmons, Lorrie Lynn (Kayla) DuFour, Sandy Fender, Jill Goins, Michael Fludspeth, Kim Isaac, Larissa Lewis, Stacy Napier, Julie Tracy, Ray Tutteron and last but not least, David Washco. Not only do we want to thank the production staff, but we would also like to thank all the typesetters who devote their time to typing up the ar­ ticles that go into the paper. They are: Janet Bridges, Pam Pearce, Barbara Purdie, Carolyn Ross and the one we put through the most hell, Martha Stadler. We really appreciate all your hard work! And last, but not least, thanks to all the proof readers who catch all the errors. Tammy Nesbilt and Michelle Mills, we wanted to thank you for all you've done. We want to give our thanks to all of you hard working people who make this paper possible and hope to see you back next semester.

ASU TEXTBOOKS To appease those of you who prob­ ably think that I've said nothing so far (and if you think that, you s/iouldii't bother to read my stuff), 1 will say a few words about thxtbooks.' First of all, 'the cost of textbooks'is not aoing to make much difference in my college education. I am one of the fortunate few whose parents pay the bills. There are, --however, some students who can barely afford the current fixed costs of ASU—some who might not be able to get their degrees with the added financial burden of the cost of purchasing text­ books. One issue the concerned professors who are so interested in improving textbook quality have missed is that good textbooks would be wasted on ASU students (the old adage about pearls before swine comes to mind). Since the majority of ASU's students are here to get a degree and not an education (and there's no reason why the attitudes of the students should differ from the attitudes of the administrators of their school). EAST IS WEST. Few students use textbooks to any advantage at all. Therefore the text is a Vdfy unimportant part of any course. Any student actually interested in learning (contact some­ one if you know, a member of this endangered species) can do so in any class with a professor interested in teaching (the administration is stalk­ ing these rare individuals as well in an effort to eliminate them from our cold and mechanical campus. If anyone knows such a professor, take their classes!) Most professors who are unsatisfied with the text assignee for their classes make up for inadt quacies in the text through effective preparation and lecturing, an occa­ sional photocopied handout, and perhaps a required paperback pur­ chased from our ever-beloved and benevolent bookstore. If ASU as a whole were interested in education, then the textbook rental system would not be practical. Since the university is unconcerned with education and students in general, the textbook rental plan is perfect. NORTH IS NORTH EXCEPT ON TUESDAY MORNINGS. It's simple economics. (Supply and demand?) Students demand the rental system. The opportunity cost of the textbook rental system is improved education, an issue which is alien and unrelated to the question.

LLral Resources will invest.gate the ability of illegal dumping in £* Creek on the ASU caniDus. The condition of the creek was hroueht to Neufeld's attention by A S U student Forrest MacCormack. MacCormack, a photographer for J k Rhododendron, was taking picIres of the physical plant when he noticed a white substance on the creek bottom and a petroleum product that appeared to be leaking from a fuel tank onto the bank of the creek. "I've been noticing the white material in the creek since March of last year. 1 noticed it again Monday when I went down there (to the physical plant) and I thought something should be done about it," MacCormack said. MacCormack contacted Neufeld later that day and asked him what affed chlorine would have on a creek. "He (Dr. Neuteld) said that chlorine was a disinfectant and would kill everything in the creek," Mac­ Cormack said. MacCormack told Neufeld what he had observed and was then sent by Neufeld to gather samples of the materials. When he took the samples back to Neufeld, he was informed that the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources had been con­ tacted. Neufeld said the material on the creek bottom appears to be sand or chalk. "In swimming pools they use sand or chalk in the filters. It looks like it might be old filter material from the pool. Although chalk is not very toxic, they shouldn't be throwing anything into the stream. It eventually leads into the New River. If the stream is being polluted it essentially pollutes the New River," he said. MacCormack said that there might be up to ten to 20 pounds of material on the bottom of the creek. "In March, the water was clouded up and as white as milk. 1 tried to be as unmelodramatic about this as possi­ ble, but something had to be done, and I didn't feel that if I went to the Physical Plant or Pool management this problem would be resolved. They would probably ignore me and con­ tinue to pollute the creek," he said. Neufeld feels any incidents of water pollution are supposed to be reported to the Department of Natural Resources. I called so they could find out what, if anything, is in the stream," Neufeld said. Officials at the Division of Environmental Management of the Department of Natural Resources were unavailable for comment at press time. Physical Plant Administrator William G. Winkler was not aware of the pending in­ vestigation in this matter. "At this point I am not aware of any dumping in the creek," Winkler said. "There is no attempt to put petroleum products in the creek," he added.

Student Forrest MacCormack noticed Are chemicals in Wey Hall hazardous to your health? By MARK S. WILLIAMS Opinion Page Editor University officials have recognized that because of improper ventilation, chemicals currently being used in the Art Department may pose a health risk to persons who are in Wey Hall. Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Dr. Harvey Durham, said thai due to concerns over the crowded conditions in Wey Hall, he, along with Associate Vice Chancellors for Academic Affairs, Dr. Clinton Parker and Dr. Judith Pulley, Acting Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts, Noyes Long and Acting Assistant Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts, Dr. Robert Johnson, spent approximately two hours inspecting the conditions in Wey Hall. "That was the first time that I had 'tally had first hand information about what the conditions were," Durham said. "This again is one of those things that had been mentioned, but to me it N) just never really come home as lo how serious the problem is until I ?otover there and saw the situation." University Safety Officer, Dr. Evan Rowe, was aware that hazardous chemicals were being used in the Art Department as early as 1986. 'We survey every department on ^Pus to find out what it is that they ate using," Rowe said. According to Rowe, the Art apartment uses a number of diferent chemicals including nitric acid, Phosphoric acid, Varsol, ammonium l.j mate, chlorine inks, sulfuric yd and poison. According to Art Department Chairman, Dr. Marianne Suggs, these chemicals are used in various ways to create art. The smell of the vapors from these chemicals in the air is noticeable and may be stronger this year due to the large volume of processes in the building. While Suggs, Durham and Rowe report that there is no information available to indicate that any health problems suffered by faculty, staff and students in contact with the Art Department are directly linked to the presence of toxic chemicals; part time faculty member Susan Sharpe who worked with toxic chemicals at the university and in her studio at home became quite ill several years ago and alerted the members of the Art Department to the health risks associated with the profession. "When the building was con­ structed, we didn't know much about hazardous toxic materials as we do now," Suggs said. "Every conference that faculty go to, art conferences or meetings, we generally have a segment on what you need to know to protect yourself with the materials that you use to make art." The university has no evidence that a health problem does or does not exist at this time. While Rowe admits that it is possible to measure the pollutants in the air, no action has been taken to do that at this point. Alternatives to using hazardous chemicals do exist including not using hazardous chemicals and using less hazardous chemicals. One alternative in using hazardous chemicals is to reduce the level of risk by using a less hazardous chemical. According to Rowe, he has made attempts to help faculty switch to less dangerous chemicals in their projects. However, many of the hazardous chemicals produce effects that are indigenous to themselves and cannot be replaced without loss of a certain effect. "There's a tradition of painting that involves dangerous materials that yield an entirely different effect that using materials that are non-toxic simply cannot reproduce," Suggs said. "We're talking about throwing out a whole tradition," she added. While some artists are switching to less hazardous materials, Suggs said that most prefer to use hazardous materials in a well ventilated area as this was another method to reduce risk. "There is not that much of a danger if you are using the toxic material in a well ventilated area as there is if you are using it in a closed area and breathing those fumes over and over again," Suggs said. According to Suggs, the individual faculty members discuss how dangerous breathing toxic fumes may be and introduce safety equipment and techniques where appropriate. Among equipment offered to students are rubber gloves, rubber aprons and paper masks. Suggs said that students using poisons are informed that what they are using is poisonous. "Users have the responsibility to see to it that the precautions are taken," Rowe said. Rowe has worked with the faculty in the Art Depart­ ment to determine the degree of exposure to the chemicals. "From the information that we have received, the instructors are making a worth while effort to follow the procedures as best they can," Rowe said. According to Suggs, the tactic across the country has been to educate yourself better about what you're using, educate your students, work in a safe environment and as a last resort, eliminate the program or use less hazardous materials. Art majors Jamie McLendon and Dale Irvin said they had become dizzy after using Varsol in silk screening processes on certain occasions. Both stated that serigraphy, silk screening processes, was the worst exposure to chemicals that they had come into contact with. Irvin noted that room in which serigraphy was done had very poor ventilation. McLendon said they were told to be careful when using certain chemicals such as Varsol while Irvin said he had not been warned of the dangers of the substances. "I haven't been told anything about the danger of it," Irvin said. "1 know that it's dangerous, but as far as being warned, 1 never have." McLendon said the chemicals were clearly marked and had warnings on them. Irvin said he had been taught the proper procedure for using the chemicals. Most agree, the biggest problem in the Art Department is in the ventila­ tion system. The only operational ventilation system in the building is an internal ventilation system which simply moves the air around. It does not move the fumes from the chemicals used out of the building but circulates them throughout the building. There is also a spot ventilation system which was installed in the areas of the building which were considered to be more hazardous than others but the spot ventilation system does not work because it is not strong enough to remove polluted air. "1 just know that what we have hasn't functioned appropriately since we have been here," Suggs said. Durham contacted Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette to discuss the ventilation problem. Durham is concerned about the potential health risks involved and wants to have the problem resolved immediately. According to Rowe, claims for workman's compensation are filed through his office, and he is also unaware of any staff oi faculty related illnesses. See HAZARDOUS Page 3 Peer class developed at ASU By WILLIAM C. BALDWIN Appalachian Staff Writer The Human Development and Psychological Counseling Depart­ ment is offering a new class for undergraduate and graduate students interested in improving their paraprofessional counseling skills. Paraprofessionals on the College Campus was taught for the first time this semester, and will be available for 30 undergraduate and 10 graduate students next semester. The course was the idea of the director of Counseling and Psychological Services Dr. Don Sanz, who also teaches the class. Dr. Sanz believes it is important to teach students how to help other students. He thinks this course can be an effec­ tive tool in teaching students how to help their peers. Resident assistants, orienteers, other campus leaders and students interested in counseling as a career are particularly urged to take the class. Dr. Sanz says anyone interested in learning more about counseling is welcome. The only prerequisite is an interest in helping others. The texts for the course will be Students Helping Students by Ender, McCafferey and Miller for undergraduates and Peer Counseling and Self-Help Croups on Campus by Giddan and Austin. All students will use a text called Students as Paraprofessional Staff by Ender and Winston. The course will focus on such areas as counseling, program development, outreach, crisis management, ethics and evaluation. So they might gain hands-on experience with the ideas they are studying, students will be re­ quired to spend at least two hours a week working in a paraprofessional program. Students may select their program from several on- and offcampus programs. The choices in­ clude the ASU counseling center, substance abuse groups, and scout and other youth groups. Guest speakers will be coming to class to discuss the need for getting qualified students involved in a varie­ ty of other programs at ASU and in the Boone community. This class could be a stepping stone to any number of groups where a student might gain valuable experience as a counselor. Dr. Sanz is excited about the poten­ tial of this new program. "What we are trying to do is develop skills in students who are interested in other students," he said. He hopes the progiam will grow. He added that in the long run, "One of the things we hope the course will do is create a pool of 'helpers'." He hopes the course will eventually provide ASU with plenty of skilled and concerned student paraprofessionals. The class will be offered on Mon­ day and Wednesday afternoons from 3:40 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Edwin-Duncan hall. This three hour course is recom­ mended for students majoring in health management, education, psychology and counseling.

(CPS) — Rice University's homecoming queen has decided to relinquish his crown after Cotton Bowl officials said he could not repre­ sent Rice at the January 1 football game. Junior Michael Grubbs, who was also snubbed by Rice officials when they refused to recognize him at the school's November 12 homecoming game, announced he would step down as queen and escort his runner-up, a woman, to the annual Cotton Bowl parade in Dallas. "We're both really psyched," Grubbs said. "We're both ready to have a great time." "He'll be our queen, but she'll be wearing the dress," president of the Rice Student Association Andy Karsner said. Grubbs entered the November 9 homecoming queen election as a ioke, but wound up winnng with 266 votes. The runner-up, senior Nancy Jones, received 237 votes. In years past. Rice students have elected a dog and a" refrigerator. "I thought it would have been fun­ ny if he won, so 1 voted for him," Grubbs supporter Margot Merek. "It would have been cute to see Mike go," runner-up Jones said. "I think he really deserves to go. He won the election." Grubbs said he would like to repre­ sent his school at the Cotton Bowl, but as queen he would have raised too much of a "stink." "I was kinda hacked I didn't get presented at the homecoming game, but I'm not mad at* the athletic department," he added. At California's Cerritos College, meanwhile, another nontraditional homecoming queen stepped down recently after what she calls "a fabulous year." Dorothy Thompson, a 68-year-old grandmother who is studying jour­ nalism and theater at Cerritos, defeated six much younger candidates last year for homecoming queen honors. Thompson was nominated by the college's press club last year, and, although hesitant at first, she mounted an aggressive campaign. "I thought 'this is fun, I want to do this,' " she said. "I love young peo­ ple and I love to be with them. Everyone got such a kick out ol it, and I did too." Thompson believes she won partly because of the publicity she received, bu: also because of her public speak­ ing experience and her ability to "ham it up." 0 �THE A PPAI A CHI A V, THURSDA Y. DECEMBER S, 19X8 Santa meets the criminal justice system 3 Namty> ' Nice? By JENNIFER HORTON The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a round little bellv that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him in spile of myself'. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know / had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word but went straight to his work, and filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk. And laying a finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight, "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!" Special lo The Appalachian I don't know how to tell many of you this. It was a sad day when I realized it nl ^. se ' a c ' u a ' shock set in last week when I saw Santa's picture on the post f office wall. That's right, Santa Claus is a criminal, a con, a petty thief. Don't get mad at me! No legal intern would accuse someone, especially Santa, wit iout cold, hard facts. Read this story and 1 am sure that you'll agree with me. Twos The Night Before Christmas 'Twos the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And Ma in her kerchief and I in my cap had just settled down for a long winter's nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter / sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave a luster of midday to objects below. When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer with a little old driver so lively and quick, 1 knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled and shouted and called them by name: "Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall! Now, dash away! Dash away! Dash awav all!" As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle mount to the skv, so up to the housetop the coursers they flew with a sleigh full of toys and St. Nicholas, too. And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each tiny hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning around, down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples—how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherrv! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard on his chin was as white as snow.

"I can't even find the word for it, it's so hurtful," president of the Binghamton Jewish Student Union James Oppenheim said. "This is no coincidence that (the vandalism) occured on the 50th an­ niversary of the Kristallnacht," Jen­ nifer Rapoport said, one of the first students to discover the graffiti. On Novembti 9, 1938, Nazi sym­ pathizers went on a rampage throughout Germany and Austria, killing scores of Jews, destroying Jewish shops and setting ablaze more than 1,100 synagogues. Historians see the tragedy, known as the Kristallnacht, or "Night of Broken Glass," as the beginning of the Holocaust. The incident of Binghamton is just the latest in a series of events that smack of anti-Semitism on American campuses. A column in the October 19 issue of the Dartmouth Review, a conser­ vative campus paper frequently criticized for publishing allegedly federal style, has a brick exterior and a pyramidal wood shingle roof. Its windows and doors are topped by brick arches, and the interior features fine wood panelling and a high domed ceiling. The interior panelling, still intact with its original olive-gray paint, is covered with graffiti dating from when the property was used as a coun­ try school for boys. Scrawled in pencil across the panel ling—long before the days of felt tip­ ped markers and acryllic spray paint—are ageless schoolboy scribblings, crude sexual drawings, names of girls to "call upon" for a good time and familiar adolescent verses.

A variety of Jewish groups blasted the column, saying it "trivialized the Holocaust" by equating the Reviewers' school suspensions to genocide. Similarly, an alternative University of Nebraska newspaper used as art in its Halloween issue an anti-Jewish Nazi propaganda poster. Nels Forde, Publisher of the Good News, said he got the picture from a book called Halloween, and that he didn't realize the Nazis had used it. Last spring, an unknown assailant shot out a window at the University of Arizona Jewish student office, and vandals defaced a Jewish group's of­ fice at the University of Kansas. More recently, the Anti- I Defamation League (ADL), which I monitors "hate groups, called on the University of Minnesota to investigate Regent Charles McGuiggan, who allegedly told a political science pro­ fessor that Madison, Wis., was "run by Jews who want to surround themselves with their own kind." The ADL also has asked the University of North Dakota to use some of a $5 million donation it got from Ralph Engelstad, a Las Vegas casino owner who collects Nazi memorabilia and has thrown several parties marking Hitler's birthday, to fund a Holocaust Studies program. To Jeffrey Ross, head of the ADL's Campus Affairs department, it adds up to "a clear growth of antiSemitism on campuses." Observers might have seen it com­ ing, too, because it's part of the same "breakdown in civility" that has pro­ voked white student attacks on black classmates in recent years, Ross said. Anti-Semitism "cannot be isolated from the general atmosphere of bigotry, hatred and racism," he said.

DECEMBER 8, /WW Colleges take steps to halt animal researcl (CPS)—In what many scientists see as proof the campus animal rights movement is gaining wider influence, Cornell University administrators have forced a Cornell scientist to drop a federal grant to perform ex­ periments on cats. At the same time, Yale activists rallied against an annual deer hunt held on university land and University of Colorado students forced a fur show scheduled to be held on campus to be cancelled, while others rallied against animal experiments at Emory University in Atlanta and at the University of California at Santa Bar­ bara. Cornell's decision, however, had "absolutely shattering" implications for research, National Institute for Mental Health member Dr. Mortimer Miskin said. Cornell forced Pharmacology Pro­ fessor Michiko Okamoto to turn down a three-year, $720,000 National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) grant to study barbituate addiction by, among other things, using cats in her research. Okamoto said she had been told to turn down the grant because the university had promised animal rights advocates the research would be phas­ ed out. NIDA officials, in turn, were outraged, viewing the decision as a Coke Continued from Page 2 1 V to its original location, instructing Law to hold a building meeting to discuss the incident and to fill out a report. Law held the meeting immediately after Security left that night. "We discussed the protest as inappropriate action to a legitimate problem, and talked about other means of express­ ing our frustrations," Law said. Although the majority of the residents were involved, the idea was a spur of the moment action and was not very well planned. The residents were just trying to attract some atten­ tion to their problem but Security explained the possible consequences of their actions. "Maybe now we'll get some work done," first floor RA Kim McLaren said. There is evidence that diet and cancer / are related. Some \ foods may promote cancer, while others may protect you from it. Foods related to low­ ering the risk of cancer of the larynx and esoph­ agus all have high amounts of carotene, a form of Vitamin A which is in canta­ loupes, peaches, broc­ coli, spinach, all dark green leafy vegeta­ bles, sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, and tomatoes, citrus fruits and brussels sprouts. Foods that may help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal and respira­ tory tract cancer are cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, kohl­ rabi, cauliflower. Fruits, vegetables and wholegrain cereals such as oat­ ' s meal, bran and wheat may help lower the risk of colorectal cancer. Foods high in fats, ! salt- or nitrite-cured foods such as ham, and fish and types of sausages smoked by traditional methods should be eaten in moderation. Be moderate in consumption of alcohol also. A good rule of thumb is cut down on fat and don't be fat. Weight reduction may lower cancer risk. Our 12-year study of nearly a million Americans uncovered high cancer risks partic­ ularly among people 40% or more overweight. Now, more than ever, we Know you can cook up your own defense against cancer. 'AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY capitulation to an animal rights group that had campaigned intensively against Okamoto's use of cats. The university's decision, they added, may endanger the freedom of other scien­ tists to do research with animals. "Our country is now facing a crisis of drug abuse," NIDA Director Charles R. Schuster wrote in a letter to Cornell officials. "We view scien­ tists like Dr. Okamoto.. .as a natural resource that needs to be nurtured and encouraged." Miskin said, "It's the public that has got to recognize what is happen­ ing to their future." All basic research, he said, is vulnerable to such attacks because its benefits cannot be predicted. Okamoto's cat studies, said George P. Cave of Trans-Species Unlimited, the group that protested her research, merely duplicated past drug dependence and withdrawal studies and "were simply of no benefit to human barbituate addicts." Trans-Species, which claims 30,000 members, picketed the med school and sent some 10,000 protest letters, including 100 from members of Con­ gress, to NIDA for a year before Cor­ nell officials decided to reject the NIDA grant. Cave believes Cornell's decision is a landmark, since Okamoto's research was halted because animal rights ac­ tivists argued that the research was not needed, rather than contending the animals were mistreated. "We deliberately chose a tactic that had never been taken," he said. "We didn't even raise the question of laboratory conditions.. .We have no reason to believe anything was wrong with the caging or veterinary care at Cornell." Other activists spent the weeks preceding International Animal Rights Day on November 25 by press­ ing more common protests of the ways research animals are treated. At Emory University, about 40 ac­ tivists marched on campus November 13 objecting to NIDA-financed drug research on primates there. On November 25, about 40 students gathered at the University of California at Santa Barbara to cir­ culate petitions objecting to fur sales at nearby stores and then to view a movie about animal experiments at UCLA. At Yale, about 20 students pro­ tested the annual deer hunt held on the university's 7,800 acre forest near Union, Conn. University officials say the hunt is necessary to control a population explosion of deer that would outstrip the food supply and endanger the long-term survival of the forest. Animal rights advocates, however, said there are more humane methods to control the deer population. At Colorado, a local hospital agreed not to show furs at a charity fashion show scheduled to be held in the university student union November 16 after student animal rights activists threatened to picket the event. The proceeds front the show were to be used to care for critically ill babies. "In the interest of concerns ex­ pressed by some groups on campus, we have chosen not to have furs at the annual fashion show," Boulder Com­ munity Hospital officials said in a press statement. "The purpose of to­ day's event is to raise funds for critically ill babies, not to generate ill will." Yet even Cornell will approve using animals in its labs "if the project is best served that way," Dean of the Cornell Medical College Dr. G. Tom Shires said. He thought it was a mistake for the university to have promised to phase out Okamoto's research in an attempt to placate the animal rights group. "If this were to happen tomorrow, I would call a press conference and tell (the protesters) 'You have your opinion. Let me tell you what the con­ ditions are under which we do the research and show you the benefits for a patient.' " Admissions test distorts quality (CPS)—Two of the nation's biggest college groups called last week for an end to the "guidebooks" and media lists that rank campuses by how high their students score on admissions tests. President of the American Council of Education Robert Atwell and president of the College Board Donald Stewart, warned that students are flocking unwisely to schools deemed "selective" by these publica­ tions while ignoring quality schools that don't appear on the lists. "Students should be looking at in­ stitutions because they're exciting places and they want to be there, not because they're number one on a bloody chart," Stewart said. They blasted many of the charts that purport to rank how good a col­ lege is as subjective and meaningless. Admissions exams like the Scholastic Aptitude Test, Atwell said, are designed to predict a student's ability, not an institution's quality. Consequently, such rankings "are saying absolutely nothing about the quality of what goes on in those in­ stitutions," he said. In a joint letter sent to thousands of college presidents and higher educa­ tion officials, Atwell and Stewart urg­ ed institutions to report scores in ranges, rather than averages or me­ dians. They suggest reporting the highest and lowest scores of the mid­ dle 50 percent of the admitted freshmen class. Edward Fiske, who produced the "Fiske Guide To Colleges" each year for the New York Times, agreed. "I support their recommendation. In fact I've already done it," he said. "Students misinterpret median scores. By printing the range of scores, you let them know what schools are in their ballpark." College lists usually do not tell pro­ spective students how a school will ac­ commodate their individual goals and needs, Fiske added. "When you do a ratings list, you not only have to say the school is good, you have to say for whom." Campus officials have complained that such lists and guides—put out an­ nually by groups ranging from U.S. News & World Report to the Yale Daily News to Playboy magazine, which ranks "party schools"— are unfair and destructive. I hey are, however, apparently pro­ fitable, and no one volunteered to quit publishing them in the wake of Atwell and Stewart's plea last week. fypalachianTwin Dally 5-7 & 9 PM HE.

Getting six to eight hours of sleep can make the difference between a B and an A. TAKE TIME TO RELAX! All work and no play can really increase your stress level as well as make it harder to concentrate on your studies. TO EASE THE STRESS OF STUDYING try some of the follow­ ing tips; CHOOSE a quiet place to study. You may need to put a sign on your door to get some undisturbed time or try the library. USE TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS. Look at what you need to get done before the end of the semester. Think about what exams you will have and which ones will be harder for you. Then set some priorities for your study time and write down a plan on a calendar. Make a TO DO list each day and check off the items as you complete them. Make sure to include time in your day for exercise and relaxation. SET REALISTIC GOALS. Will you be able to pull an A for the course if you do well on the exam? Is it realistic to expect an A from every course? TAKE BREAKS when studying. Sometimes when you are blocked and just can't seem to get it, try taking a "walk around the block" or taking a shower. DON'T SKIP CLASSES just to get some extra time to cram; you may miss something important you need to know for the exam. DON'T WAIT and cram at the last minute. ASK YOUR PROFESSOR for help if you need it. If all else fails try a little positive thinking. It'll all be over soon!

Dolittle found several local teenagers van­ dalizing the yard, and with a few loud and harsh words the kids were on their way and Chief Dolittle went back to his call of duty. Joy and Faith were devastated the next morning as they watched their father clean up the yard. Mr. Goodbody, seeing the twins disappointed, wrapped some of the yellow toilet paper around Frosty's neck for a scarf and put an old toboggan, pro­ bably dropped by one of the vandals, upon Frosty's head. All at once the snowman sprang to life shouting, "Yo, man! What's going down?" Mr. Goodbody fainted, falling backwards into the soft snow behind him. Seeing this, Frosty said, "I'm out of here Homeboy!" Frosty made his way down the street and to the school. "Hey! This place look; familiar," Frosty said.

Avoiding ski hazards BEECH MOUNTAIN, N.C.— Thinking about the proper attire for the slopes this winter? Don't forget the proper attire for your vehicle while you're making your plans, warns Beech Mountain director of public works Joe Perry. • To carry you to and from North Carolina High Country ski resorts this winter, your car will need a good dose of antifreeze in its radiator and a set of chains in its trunk. Perry, who has been working on Beech Mountain for the better part of 20 years, knows whereof he speaks. A tiny town of about 250 residents dur­ ing the off-season, Beech Mountain, home of Ski Beech (one of the southeast's largest ski resorts), becomes a hive of activity when the temperature starts to drop and the snow begins to fall. At an elevation of 5,505 feet above sea level, Eastern America's highest incorporated municipality has been known to entertain as many as 25,000 visitors on holiday weekends. Keeping the roads open so skiers can reach the slopes—and get on and off the moun­ tain at the beginning and end of their vacation stays—is a must. The state of North Carolina main­ tains the highway from the bottom of the mountain over its summit and down to the entrance of Ski Beech, "and does a good job of it, too," Sale of Fraser firs Perry said. But it's up to the 19 from a tow truck, or to a store to buy employees of the town's public works chains. But an ounce of prevention is department to keep the 66.2 miles of worth a pound of cure, and a set of side roads open. chains in the trunk provides that "We plow all night if necessary, ounce when it comes to wintertime Once a snowstorm starts, we keep at it driving in the High Country. until it's over, or the worst of it is," Perry said.

Yates grows Fraser fir Christmas trees and he do­ nated one to Appalachian State University for An Appalachian Christmas' Festival of Trees. Yates is harvesting trees daylight to dark. "Most customers want their trees the week before or the week after Thanksgiving," he said. Cutting trees long before Christmas is not a problem for Fraser fir growers. The deep-green Frasers are renowned for retaining their needles and for their fire resistance. Their strong boughs also support heavy ornaments. Con­ sumers like their color, fragrance, soft "friendly" needles, fire resistance and the easy post-holiday cleanup. Frasers grow more slowly than other trees, and they're more expensive to produce, but their popularity brought the country's approximately 500 growers sales of $6.3 million last year. ^ Appalachian Photo by Sholloy Koehi FIRS; The Boone area is ideal for growing Fraser fir N^^ular Christmas tree. The High Country has the longest •son for comparable elevations in the nation. Yates, past president of the nurserymen's association, a tree grower-, group, sells about 7,000 Fraser firs a year. Some 80 percent of his crop goes to New Jersey and Conncftici.it nnd the remainder is sold in Fastern North Carolina. The High Country is an ideal area for Fraser production, with the longest growing season for com­ parable elevation in the nation. Cold winters make for distinct dormant periods, which means intense growth during the mild summers. Several freezes each fall make the needle retention of area trees the best in the industry. Favorable rainfall and soil conditions complete the mix. Fraser firs are native to the area, and virgin stands provide seed for growers. Growers work in their trees all year, shearing, mowing or applying her­ bicides, fertilizing and taking soil samples. "You have to be pretty dedicated to be in the tree business," Denver Taylor said, a grower in the Foscoe area who sends trees to Florida, New York, New Jersey and some North Carolina cities. "It's a long-term investment. You don't get a return on your money for seven years at least, and probably eight years." The work pays off, though, and each step helps produce a tree that consumers want. "For good color, that's where your nutrients come in. If the soil is not right you'll have poor color," he said. A six- to seven-foot tree, which Yates calls the average market size, takes 12 years to grow from a seed December 18 Christmas Caroling/Hayride, 7:30 p.m., begins at Fred's General Mer­ cantile.

W W When Stern bares it By MICHELLE RISSOLO Appalachian Staff \\ riler Video Review: Howard Stern's Negligee and Underpants Party Overall: Very good Howard Stern is a DJ out of New York City. His sidekick is Robin Quivers, and his jokeman is Jackie. These dudes have been together through thick and thin. They began in Washington, D.C. and got kicked off the air because the station manager thought the station was doing well because of his efforts, not Howard's. Howard and the gang then went to California to WNBC. They got kick­ ed off the air, also. But it was a bit more discreet. Howard found a better job for them in New York City where he now makes over 2 million listeners happy Monday thru Friday, 6-10 a.m. After three years on the afrwaves, Howard decided it was time to break into TV, which resulted in the video tape "Howard Stern's Negligee and Underpants Party." The show was broadcast over cable TV and lasted over two hours. Let me familiarize you with the Stern program before elaborating on the video, or you won't understand at all. Howard is a vulgar, frank, sexual, suggestive fasttalker and has no scruples whatsoever. His topics begin with the news of the day and end with talking to listeners on the air. In be­ tween, is well, unbelievable, I'm sure, to the "South." Howard also has guests from all walks of life: Dee Snyder (lead singer for Twisted Sister), the Bangles, Milton Berle, Kurt Waldheim Jr. (who asks the question "Who's the I Jew?"), Abbie Hoffman and the list goes on. The video is full of visuals that listeners miss on the radio. It begins with two lesbians making out with each other backstage. Then the master of ceremonies, Howard Stern, comes out and tells everyone to un dress down to their underpants and negligees. Shavon, a transvestite, also is wearing a negligee which makes Howard upset. Howard verbally brutalizes him (her) and the party begins. A short movie called the "Gay Un­ touchables" starring Elliot P. Ness is hysterical. Howard also has a lesbian dial-a-date which bombs because the two lesbians are doing each other while Howard is pinned under them. Penn and Teller, a magic team, do some magic tricks; shove knitting needles through their arms and cut their eyes with razor blades. A man comes out and sets his penis on fire to cook an egg. There is also a " Bum Makeover" where Howard went to the streets of New York and found a homeless man. Howard paid for him to get a shave and haircut, clothes, a bed, an apartment, and a shopping spree at a 7-11 store. Because this was shown on TV, someone saw the man and of­ fered him a job. Now the man is back on his feet! This video is for mature audiences only. It contains frank discussions about sex and sexually suggestive behavior. Parental caution is advised. This is better than a porn movie; it has comedy, no visual intercourse, and has more class than any X-rated movie on the market. Muses Continued from Page 7 band was nowhere near falling into the Suzanne Vega/Michelle Shocked trendy-folkie rut. And Donelly's com­ position ("Reel") features more driv­ ing Zeppelinisms. By this time Hersh had a young son named Dylan, and the band had some local competition (The Pixies, with whom they share a manager, and the up-and-coming band Anastasia Screamed), but in keeping with a rapid fire release schedule, they recorded and released the Fat Skier album in late '87, their third release in little over a year! Fat Skier, their American major label debut, con­ tained more introspective musings ("A Feeling," "And a She-Wolf After the War," "You Cage"), as the band's overall approach grew tighter. The sole complaint about Fat Skier is its brevity—a generally unsatisfying 25 minutes. This is doubly bother­ some because the six new songs (plus an extended version of "Soul Soldier") are among their best. Those ever-productive Muses, now in their early 20's, subsequently recorded an early masterpiece, "House Tornado," released in the spring of 1988. Some called "House Tornado" more relaxed than its predecessors, a sell-out; this is a supremely incorrect accusation. Artistic development only hinted at on the debut, like the unconventional tempo changes, flourishes on "House Tornado;" as a result this release has a smooth flowing quality not as evi­ dent on previous releases. The spooky By BEN WAKEMAN Appalachian Staff Writer see his father's large smiling face, the way it looked on the day that he brought the car home to his six-yearold son and his young wife. Jacob yearned to be that six-year-old. Suddenly, as if on cue, reality flooded over him, and his eyes began to ache. He could not cry. His chest heaved pitifully like a piece of broken machinery. He was out of tears. "Jacob.. .Jacob, I love you...mommy loves you...don't leave me." Janice McDanial was on her back screaming while several ner­ vous medics were trying to restrain her and push the bloody stretcher down the stark white hall. She was frantically screaming and reaching out for her only son through the wall of men in white. Jacob could only stand and watch her being carried down the hallway. He heard her scream once more in agony and hopelessness before the doctors sedated her. That was the last time that his mother's voice would ever touch his ear. For the first time since he was a small boy, Jacob McDanial was up before the rest of the world, or at least the majority, had begun to stir. But he was no longer a boy. This thought was a cold reality that at the moment he did not want to face. The mere thought of his lost childhood brought in a flood of bittersweet nostalgia that wrenched his heart like one might squeeze an orange, letting the sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, contents trickle out. For now, he shelved his childhood in a dusty cor­ ner in the back of his mind. The sun was just peeking over the horizon but already he could feel its warmth stealing the chill out of the morning air in this mysterious little place he was in. He took off his blue jean jacket and stretched. He was not quite sure where he was or how he got there. The events that occurred the night before were a dizzyingly painful blur. He did remember driving, and crying harder and more intensely than In a state of disbelief, he turned he had ever thought possible. He also around looking for some source of remembered the insane panic, that security, someone, anyone. There was feeling of falling into oblivion that no one. The plane crash had instantly made him drive faster and faster, try­ killed his father; so now, Jacob ing to put as many miles between McDanial was left alone in a world himself and home as possible. Home? that was not made for a 17-year-old As the sun rose higher, his thoughts boy. He had begun a hesitant walk became clearer and he felt as if he after his mother but turned and broke would panic again, but he was too into a sprint for the parking lot. In the tired. He was sitting on a curb, look­ safety of his parent's car, he drove ing out across a huge parking lot that out of the darkened lot and into a was totally empty except for one car, night that was blacker than any he his...or, his parents. He closed his would ever see. eyes and he could almost smell the He did not know where he was pleasant odor of that car when it was going; he simply drove until he felt new. And if he really tried, he could that his eyes would bleed from staying open so long. It was around 5 a.m. when he finally guided the car into the parking lot of a large shopping mall. He had absolutely no idea where he was, and he didn't care when he parked the car in a dark corner of the lot and fell asleep in the back seat, using his jacket as a pillow. Just before falling asleep, Jacob thought of himself as a yo-yo. For the past five years, he had spent most of his time trying to push away from his parents, and they had tried to pull him back, which they occasionally did, but only for fleeting moments. All Jacob had ever been concerned with were his friends and himself; his parents were merely people he lived with. Now that the yo-yo's string had snapped and he was flying unattached into what seemed like a black hole, he wept over the sudden loss of two peo­ ple he hadn't known for years. The sun was higher in the sky now and there was some evidence of civilization in the huge lot; two cars had joined his while he had been over­ whelmed by his emotions. The pain behind his eyes was letting up, and the rising sun seemed to surround him in its light and to hold him protectively like a mother might hold a newborn. He felt as if everything would be all right as long as he was within the ("each of the sun's rays. A slight breeze blew across the empty lot and kissed his face, sweeping the hair back from his forehead. It made him think of his mother's kisses and the way she would brush his hair to one side with her slender fingers when he would wake up frightened in the middle of the night. Her hands were so strong, yet so gentle. The joints of his knees were starting to rust from sitting so long, so he stood up and stretched. While he was stretching, he noticed someone stand­ ing by his parents' car. It was a scraggly old man with a dirty blue tobog­ gan, and he appeared to be admiring the car touching' b the th hood ay , 1he ^ Wat"" H i S S h o u 'der^<" : . As he approached 1U'!k k"?

Quentin Compson did not 'fit in' to our society because he had a better understanding of it than others. Nobody recognized this but myself and a few others and this frustrated him and led him to have a cynical view of everything. He wrote cynical articles in an attempt to provoke people to think about something other than themselves. Few people thought about the topics in the way intended. Instead, they viewed his ideas relative to their ideas and denounced them as heretical! Quentin commit­ ted suicide... 1 learned that "Life is a sexually transmitted disease," a state of mind, and a series of infinite perceptions.

Generally, people live in their own little (finite) worlds. I hey bitch constantly about everything in their 'little worlds' yet they refuse to do anything about that. C hange invites expansion and expansion unseats the 'good?' in their little worlds. Why Change? Why Change? Because it is a higher level of understanding? No, that does not work because while at a higher level, one still cannot answer T he Important Questions Of Life. Why Change? I really don't know. Perhaps, because it is anti-conformist and the Masses must be wrong just because they are the Masses. People don't like Communism. A Christian is a Communist. Most self-proclaimed Christians aren't Communists. Most self-proclaimed Christians aren't Christians. Most people who claim to be Religious are not Religious. They are religious.

I'm sorry, I am discussing my Important Things In Life. Let's discuss what most people's Important Things In Life are. Sex is the number one influence in our society (Bad or Good Relative to you). ASU is the first university in tire UNC System to install condom vending machines in residence halls (Bad or Good Relative to you). People have abortions every day (Bad or Good Relative to you). I'm sorry. This topic is still unpleasant. Down to the basics. The Pood Court is a good place to eat. Unfor­ tunately the modifications included aesthetic changes that probably needed to be made. This is only unfortunate because even more unfortuanlely, the prices had to be raised to pay for the aesthetic changes. Fortunately, I rarely eat on campus. Starving children rarely eat in the Food Court. Is this Bad or Good for them? That is Relative to you and this brings us to death which takes us back to The Important Things In Life. 1 have a friend whom I Love (opposed to love because most think on that Lower level involving Sex) who has Loved many people over the course of his life. Some of whom have died tragic (Relative to you) deaths. Death in the midst of life. Is not death part of life? If so, death does not exist... What relief! I was worried about death.. . Charles Mansoti is one of the greatest intellectuals in the history of man. He plays people off as mere moments of time and they do not realize it. Rather, they label him to meet their needs. Everything is Relative. You ask to what? To You. . . Everything is Relative to the Truth. The Truth is unknown. One person's truth is no more valid than any others. Everything is Relative to You! All men (humans for the Feminists who read this and are not on acid) are not created equal. All men are equal. Thank God for bathrooms. Even though some people (even at the university) think that they are better than others, they still have to shit (stinky lor those who find shit offensive)... Take time to reflect upon the semester, upon life and upon God and hopefully you will take (Relative to you) something new into the next one (Relative to You). Thanks for my reality!

For years in this state, the Democratic Legislature made sure that a Republican Governor would have no power by making him a figurehead and giving the real power to the Lieutenant Governor. Now that the Republicans have won that seat too, they change the rules again to make both the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor figureheads and give the real power to the President Pro-Tern of the State Senate. They even claim to be doing this in the interest of fairness. Why don't they just go ahead and amend the State Constitu­ tion to say that no Republican can hold an office with any real power. We already have a one party system, lets just make it offical, nothing would change. 3. A Balanced Federal Budget—I finally decided to find out what all the uproar about the budget was all about so I checked a copy of the federal budget out of the library. What I have read so far is enough to make any American sick and 1 plan to write more on the subject when I have persued this massive tome more deeply. I do wonder, however, just why we have a Helium Fund. Officially, it is to provide for the helium needs of the goverment. I guess when you run out of hot air you have to have something to inflate the egos and speeches on Capitol Hill, and now we know what an expert analyst means when he refers to an "Inflated Budget Deficit." 4. A Real Vacation—When I was in the Army I was stationed in Europe but that was definitely NOT a vaca­ tion. I have not had a real vacation (real vacation being defined as one that lasts more than one weekend and involves more than a thousand miles of travel) in several years. 1 am not a world traveler, though it is not because of a lack of desire. 5. Some Communication Skills— Just once I would like to be able to carry on a conversation with a member of the opposite sex without feeling like 1 am speaking Sinhalese and she is speaking Lithuanian. I know the problem rests with me because rarely do I even understand what I am saying. 6. A Weight Loss of About 20 Pounds—During the Holidays? What a joke. 7. A Conference Champion­ ship—For those of you who do not know tne, I am an assistant basketball coach at Watauga High School and I would really like to be a part of something I was never fortunate enough to be a part of as a player-a championship. 8. A Superb Plate of Mushrooms—1 love these, but I get them about as often as I get checks in the mail from the IRS. Okay, there they are. If any of you generous souls can provide me with any of these I would be very grateful. Many people who have been blessed with the burden of omniscience have already informed me that these are not the things I really need. It is so nice of these people to grace us poor mortals with a small bit of their in­ finite wisdom. I also am so glad that these same people work so hard to protect me from myself and from such dangerous ideas as fiscal respon­ sibility, and from such dangerous concepts as the possibility that I might be right once in a while when I actual­ ly disagree with what they want me to believe. Oh, by the way, I forgot one of my wishes. I wish that all the self ap­ pointed saviors of our society, those wonderful folks who are legends n their own minds, those all knowing guardians of truth who have brought us such fantastic ideas as the welfare state and government subsidized everything, and who think that 1 should gladly fork over my hard earn­ ed cash to them so they can redistribute it to those who refuse to work, would all come down from their self appointed mountains of goodness and take a very strong enema, for they really need one. Have a Merry Christmas and a government subsidized New Year. ASU calendar makes no sense To the Editor: I am having a hard time understanding the school's philosophy regarding breaks this year. It is bad enough that we are among the first to return to school in the fall and one of the last to get out for the summer. Now they are cutting into our vacation time drastically. Let me begin with Thanksgiving. We had classes the day belore Thanksgiving which is bad enough in itself, but then they expected us to stay until 5 p.m. This created problems for people who lived mote than two hours away, such as Floridians. This left them with three op­ tions; they could skip classes, which would count against them, in order to get home at a decent hour, they could drive home very late at night, which could be dangerous or they could wait to go home on Thanksgiving which ruins the holi­ day. 1 think these were unfair choices that the students were forc­ ed to make. Thanksgiving was bad enough, but the reasoning behind the Christmas holidays is just inex­ cusable. We are getting out only three days before Christmas. This is absolutely ridiculous! For those people who live far away this may be the only time they get a chance to go home. Christmas is a special time that brings families closer together. It is the time before Christmas that the spirit is felt. 1 think this year's Christinas is not going to be that special for many ASU students just because of all the time that has been taken away from us. It is bad enough that we are getting out so late, but we are not even getting a full three weeks. This alone is reason to com­ plain. Not to mention the fact that many people work over Christmas. For those who have tried to line up jobs have found it hard to find seasonal jobs because they could only be available for three full days before Christmas. For those of us who do have jobs waiting, eighteen days is hardly enough time to earn a great deal of much needed money. When we do finally receive some of this money, then I guess the school expects us to buy our gifts after the big day has come and gone, because we will not receive our checks until after Christmas. 1 used to think that ASU started early and finished late and made up for it in the middle. But, from what I have heard from friends at other schools, our vacation time seems to be much less than theirs this year. Also, from my own observations, our loss of time at Christmas has not been made up for in other vaca­ tions. 1 know many students are confus­ ed about the reasoning for the cut in our vacation time. Perhaps the person or persons who made these decisions to cut into our vacations live nearby and do not understand what it is like to be away from family and friends. I wish the ad­ ministration would give the students an explanation for this and consider the students in the next decisions sions tney IHUKC. Pug Maeior Box 11116 �THE APPALACHIAN T H E A P P A L A C H I A N , T H U R S D A Y , D E C E M B E R X, I M S DIVERSIONS X-mas means... By B.D. WAKEMAN Appalachian Staff Writer ii I i II [<i( i M Christmas is in the air; that special time of year when Bing Crobsy rolls over in his grave so he can hear Bob Hope's stupid Christmas special with his good ear All the stories are feverishly piping in those watered down versions of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," along with all the other "Spend Your Damned Money" Christinas songs. It's all pretty emo tional. But, in spite of everything, I like Christmas. In some ways, I'm a "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" kinda guy. I must admit, 1 get a little teary when I'm in Belks and I see two red-faced, screaming fat women belling it out over a plaid bath robe. These things move me. At Christmas time there is always an elating atmosphere of love, good heer, greed, brotherhood, manic depression, suicide and just plain fun. Misguided tots throwing tan­ trums on the floors of shopping malls, mommies and daddies going bankrupt all over the United States, and the makers of Masters of the Universe deciding on whether or not to buy a small country in Europe are all a part of the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas is a time of reflection (whatever the hell that means) and togetherness, and tacky Christmas cards from people you don't know. Don't you hate that? You get a card from two guys who drained your septic tank five years ago. Inside it says "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Jimbob and C.J. at Sewer City, Inc." These things warm me up inside. Christmas also means it's time for all those charity albums to flood the airwaves. Maybe this year we'll have a "Tortured Artist" Christmas album. Now that would be jolly. The Cult could do "Frosty the Snowman" and the Dead Milkmen could do "Silver Bells," (Burl Ives would make a guest, background vocal appearance of course.) Maybe Suicidal Tendencies could throw in a cozy version of "Little Town of Bethlehem." The whole project could benefit the deaf and psychotic. I don't know, maybe the world just isn't ready, but I think i would be great. What is it that makes Christmas such a popular time of year for suicide? Is it the annual showing of "The Grinch that Stole Christmas, or could it be that nasty thick beverage we call. . egg nog? No, my personal belief is that the prime reason for these people wanting to take their own lives is tied up in their problem of pseudosexualSanta-envy. Yes, it's true. Many people all across the United States suffer from a need for sexual gratification from the big guy. This explains why grown men and women sit in Santa's lap in the mid die of busy shopping malls. I'm afraid it's a sad winter wonderland full of sick puppies that secretly dress up like Mrs. Claus. I'm sorry had to bring this dark secret out into the open. None of the victims of PSE will be mentioned like Ronald Reagan, Dan Quayle, Jon Bon Jovi and Prince Charles. Names like thse will be kept a secret to protect the innocent. One of my favorite pastimes when I'm not flossing my cat's teeth or playing the accordian in a hot polka band, is barefoot snow ski ing. I figure, skis are so damned overrated. I mean, I like to get back to nature. 1 get so tired of these people who say they are in touch with the earth and then they go and put on a pair of boots and skis. Ski bibs are equally overrated. My motto is, if you can't ski raw then don't do it at all. I got my passion for skiing raw from Mother Theresa when I spent some time in the Swiss Alps. She was really an inspiration to see on the side of a snow covered mountain. I regret that she couldn't teach me more, but she said she had some kind of meaningless work to gel back to in India. For those of you who have read to this point, maybe you should be examined. For those of you who have not read to this point.. .oh, nevermind. But seriously, I meant everything I said in this column, and all of it is true... as far as you know. I'd like to take this oppor­ tunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Oh, and if you must drink, then don't drive. Just strip down and snuggle into a snow drift until you sober up. This is a little trick Mother Theresa taught me on our way home from a wild Christmas party. It should serve you well in he future. Fear & Loathing and oral sex By MICHELE M. HOLLOWELL Diversions Kdilor "It's the element of the unex­ pected," Karsten Schroeer, lead singer of Fear and Loathing, said. "It gets people to the gigs," guitarist Lawrence Winn added. Fear and Loathing, Boone's own "funk, punk, psychedelic disco-death metal from hell, more or less" band, has gained the reputation as one of the most creative bands in Boone. The band has appreared as KISS during the Halloween show at H'Appy's, has compared oral sex to air conditioning in cars, and, with the help of Drew Detweiler, has produced the most in­ novative stage effects of any band in the area. Drew is the mastermind behind the flashpots for the KISS show and the "interesting" movies shown during their shows. Karsten feels some peo­ ple don't understand the band and many people misinterpret their lyrics. Although the band's name came from Hunter S. Thompson's book about a crazed drug spree, the band doesn 7 drink or do drugs on stage. Fear and Loathing is double-billed with Greensboro's Warehouse (or Wearhouse, depending on the flyer) to play the Pub Friday night. The frolics being at 9 p.m. when Fear and Loathing take the stage. "We try to be as offensive as possi­ ble, at least t do, ' Karsten said. Karsten feels some people don't understandable band and many people misinterpret their lyrics. Although the band's name came from Hunter S. Thompson'-: book about a crazed drug spree, the band doesn't drink or do drugs on stage. The band doesn't promote violence towards women, either, although some people think their song "Hate" does. "I'm not pro-violence to women, The song is partially tongue-in-cheek. I thought it would be an interesting idea for a song," Karsten said. The band performs some covers, but perfer to do their originals which are more meaningful to them. "It's a collaborative effort to write our original material," Lawrence said. "You can never sound more like the Dead Kennedy's," drummer Steve Carter said. The band also feels that cover bands are limiting themselves, even though some cover bands generate more money. However, Fear and Loathing isn't in the music business to make money. "We'd play a lot like the Outer Limits if we wanted to make money," Lawrence said. Lawrence said the band is very picky, and they tend to be critical of other bands and equally critical of themselves. By criticizing themselves, Lawrence feels they can keep their quality up. The group feels the local music scene has a lot of potential, and they wish A.P.P.S., The Appalachian and other campus organizations would take a chance with alternative music. They feel people in Booone have potential, also, but aren't doing anything with that potential. "I see a lot of waste of potential. I have a vision where everyone lives up to what they could be," Karsten said. "Just becuase something is dif­ ferent, doesn't mean it's wrong," Steve said. "People should stop try­ ing tp make things fit into their lifestyle. They should let ideas bounce off them or soak in." Jeff Umbarger, bassist, had nothing to say to the public. "This is not an original idea, but everybody up here who doesn't fit in­ to the collegiate mold ought to go to Bash Riprock's tonight before "jello and take up as much space as possible and drink water," Lawrence said.

Throwing Muses are godlike By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Slaff Writer Webster's Dictionary lists a hand­ ful of definitions for the word "muse;" in the case of the Bostonian band Throwing Muses, all are prob­ ably applicable. Lyricist and general leader Kristin Hersh throws out reflections, medita­ tions and yes, three-minute slices of genius with a casual grace that is rare in current rock; and the expertly created folk/pop resulting from this vision certainly has an eerie sort of godliness about it. Formed by schoolmates Hersh (guitar/vocals), Tanya Donelly (guitar/vocals), Leslie Langston (bass) and David Narcizo (drums), Throwing Muses quickly whipped up a quirky blend of folk balladry, punk energy, improvisational rhythms and above all, emotive vocals by main Muse Hersh. The expressive style sticks out noticeably among today's top "alternative" bands, mainly because of the absence of pretentious gloom or retro post—R.E.M. janglepop cliches. The results, a cool, allur­ ing mix of influences (Pere Ubu, Talking Heads, B-52s, Syd Barrett, Dylan), quickly picked up a sizable following up there in Beantown. Throwing Muses were presented to most of the world at large with a selftitled debut album (on 4AD Records) which generated near-unanimous praise at home and abroad. Throwing Muses kicks off with "Call Me," a suite-like bit of folk-punk that shifts into and out of various tempos to interesting effect, and "Green," a poetic ballad written by Tanya ly. Other highlights include "V Box," "Rabbits Dying" andth; Zeppelinish "Soul Soldier,"; the songs feature sketchy, dri literate lyrics which are c pretation on many levels. Addii ly unexpected changes in "Rabbits Dying" and "SoulSoldi a jazz-like spontaneity, and ski rhythms keep everything inten All in all, this is a stunning from a bunch of 19-year-i Not a band to waste valuable (or youthful energy), the Hi quickly recorded and released follow-up EP (mini album), CI Changed, also for 4AD. A sou folkier sound developed, altar: See MUSES Ptf Ballet South's "The Nutcracker" comes to life By MARK LATENDRESSE Appalachian Slaff Writer Children and adults were thrilled by the sights and sounds of The Nut­ cracker last Thursday night at Far­ thing Auditorium. Presented by Ballet South in cooperation with the Southern Arts Federation, this holiday production dazzled the audience with giant Christmas trees, dancing candy canes, and toys which came to life. Over 50 dancers from Ballet South, as well as local children from Watauga county, performed to one of Piotr Illyich Tchaikovsky's most famous ballet compositions. Written in 1892, just three years after he com­ pleted Sleeping Beauty, The Nut­ cracker has become a traditional holi­ day production. The Nutcracker Suite is based on two stories; The Nutcracker and The King Mouse by Ernest Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann. Hoffmann was one of the most important German writers in the romantic period, as well as a composer, conductor and legal advisor in the Prussian judicial system. Salinee Vanichanan played Clara Silberhaus and the Nutcracker Prince was portrayed by Edgar Badua. Both of these young performers exhibited strong dancing skills and an en­ thusiastic attitude toward their per­ formances. Damien Diaz as the Cavalier and Janelle Tatum as the Sugar Plum Fairy performed the Grand Pas de Deux admiralty, demonstrating years of formal train­ ing. Two specific scenes bear mention­ ing: the rousing Russian Dance in which Kenja McCray displayed a wonderful talent for dance with her spectacular acrobatic stunts, and the scene in which eight marshmallows (portrayed by local children) escaped from under Mother Ginger's pet­ ticoat. The children enraptured the audience with their antics, especially one young girl who captured the viewer's hearts with her delightfully flamboyant reluctance to return under her mother's petticoat. The Nutcracker is the story of a young girl, Clara Silberhaus, who is giyen a magical nutcracker shaped like a toy wooden soldier. T his nut­ cracker is brought to life by the mysterious Herr Drosselmeyer and it dances for Clara until it is broken by Fritz, the young girl's brother. Herr Drosselmeyer, apparently a master sorcerer, mends the nutcracracker, and the Christmas party ends. In the middle of the night, Clara enters the parlor in search of her nut­ cracker, and magically the entire room grows to gigantic proportions. The nutcracker appears, and along with his army of toy soldiers (who have also come to life) attacks a band of giant mice. During the battle, Clara distracts the Rat King long enough for the nutcracker to backstab the rodent. The Rat King defeated, the soldiers and mice disap­ pear and the nutcracker turns into a handsome prince while the parlor changes into a beautiful forest covered with snow. The Prince invites Clara on a magical journey to the Land of the Sugar Plum Fairy located in the Kingdom of Sweets. On their journey, they meet the Snow Queen and her snowflakes. Upon arrival at Si Cane Castle, they are welcomed the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Holiday healthiness When trying to watch your weight during the holidays it's important to remember that it's not necessarily what you eat, but how you eat, said an ASU home economics instructor. "If you feel like you have to have the mashed potatoes or the casseroles, you can still have a little of every­ thing—just don't serve big helpings," Beth Binner said, who teaches foods and nutrition courses at Appalachian. The best solution is to eat healthy. If you're going to a cocktail party, don't eat a large meal before you go, and use club soda rather than other drinks such as Cokes with your mixed drinks to help cut down on calories. Curb your alcohol and calorie intake by limiting your drinks to a social hour. "Avoid big bowls. If you're stand­ ing there beside that big bowl of chips, it's easy to just keep reaching down and picking up a handful," Binner said. And avoid creamy pro­ ducts such as dips, because they're usually high in fat content. Stay with fresh items such as fruits and vegetables, and avoid hot foods, which are usually meat dishes and are also high in fat. If all else fails, keep talking. "Keep the conversation going. It's hard to eat when you're talking," she said. There are also some tips to follow when preparing meals, Binner said. For example, don't nibble when you're baking, and try some substitu­ tions for the more fattening tradi­ tional foods. Try boiled new potatoes instead of mashed potatoes, and substitute low-fat items in a recipe. For instance, if a recipe calls for sour cream, use low-fat sour cream, or use skim milk instead of cream. Or substitute applesauce for oil in a cake recipe to add moistness. Try yeast rolls instead of biscuits, avoiding but­ ter whenever possible, and cut down on salt by substituting different spices. "Don't be afraid to experiment with a recipe. My students think they have to stick to the recipe, but they find out they can make something a lot healthier by experimenting with different things," Binner said. She recommended avoiding big breakfasts when you know you're go­ ing to be eating a big meal later. If you're watching a football game while waiting for someone else to fix the meal, snack on popcorn instead of peanuts. Popcorn has less fat and calories. If you have lots of turkey left over, make a salad using your leftovers in­ stead of a casserole. There are some tips you can follow if you feel you just have to have those chips and dip or pumpkin pie, Binner said. For instance, wear clothing that (ZkaUiTthpLa SPRING BR€$ DAYTONA $L9 7 nts/8 days beachfront at Daytona's HOTTEST Spring Break resort, the Clarendon Plaza.

Chancellor John Thomas approved the installation of condom dispensers in residence halls at ASU's Board of Trustees meeting last Friday. "Subject to review and recommendation by the appropriate administrators, I will ap­ prove the installation in both male and female residence halls," Thomas said. The Student Senate approved the con­ dom bill last Tuesday. "The student government has in my opinion come up with a very responsible look at the issue," he said. "Based on their study of it, they made a recommendation that condom machines be placed in residence halls," Thomas said. "Now this is in consonence with all the medical reports and statistical reports about the percentage of people who are carriers of AIDS (approximately 2 in every 1,000)," he added. According to Thomas, this move is in response to the growing problem of sexually transmitted diseases (STD's). "Medical science up to this point has not been successful in coming up with a cure to this disease," he said. "Abstinance is the sure cure for AIDS and the second line of defense is condoms." "We are a microcosm of society and we certainly have on this campus a sexually ac­ tive constiuency of faculty, staff, and students," Thomas said. Thomas contends this move is not to pro­ mote promiscuity. "The object is not to promote promiscuity or to shock the sen­ sibilities of those who are offended by the subject. It's simply...a recognition of a serious national problem—-STD." Thomas acknowledged there will be critics of this move. "Now, there are going to be those who are offended and who will complain that this action tarnishes the im­ age of the university," he said. "But I feel there are more of our faculty, students, staff, alumni, and friends who will view it as a carefully considered response to STD." "Sexually transmitted diseases are something we simply have to, as an institu­ tion, face up to," he added. SGA COMMENDED: The Board of Trustees met last Friday for their last regular meeting ol the year. Chancellor Thomas approved the installation of condom dispensers in residence halls and commended SGA for their work on the The installation of condom dispensers will make ASU the first university in North Carolina to have condom dispensers available in the residence halls. Trustee chairman Richard Davis express­ ed his support for the condom action. "It'll probably save some lives. We could very easily hide our heads in the sand and pre­ tend that the problem doesn't exist and peo­ ple could probably lose their lives because of it." Student Government President Gary Greene said the move was carefully con­ sidered. "I'm sure there will be some flak or bad publicity. I hope everyone here realizes the responsibility the students are trying to invoke and not just look at the negative," Greene said. In other business, the Trustees unanimously approved a 3.1 percent in­ crease in fees which was approved by the Student Senate last Tuesday.

ASU freshmen post third highest SAT scores By NICOLE PARSONS Appalachian C'op\ Editor Across the state black student enrollment and freshman SAT scores have increased on the UNC system's 16 campuses, including ASU. This information was released last week by University system officials at the regular meeting of the University of North Carolina Board of Governors. At ASU, freshman SAT scores have risen 22 points jumping from a mean average of 934 last year to 956 this year. "This was a substantial jump," Director of Admissions Joe Watts said. The average SAT score for in-state freshmen at the University of North Carolina system's 16 universities has been in the 800 range. "The average (for ASU students) is well over 100 points over the state average of 836," Watts said. "We feel we are attracting a high quality student and we are really happy about that," Watts said. Watts said ASU does ad­ mit students whose SAT scores have been below 800. "It depends on the student's overall achievement level. The better a student's grades are in high school, the more likely his SAT scores could be below the 800 mark and still be admissible," Watts said. "We certainly don't want to eliminate a student who doesn't do well on a test," Watts added. In addition to SAT scores increasing, black enrollment is also up. The Charlotte Observer reports across the state that black enrollment at the states 11 predominantly white institutions rose by 510 from 9,369 to 9,879. Also black enrollment at the five predominantly black universities rose by 263 students. ASU has made a special effort to increase black student enrollment according to Watts and he said it has been steadily in­ creasing over the years. "We have more than doubled the number of black students over the last couple yeras. It has gone from 2.5 percent to 5 percent," Watts said. "We have seen an increase every year since 1982 and we are really pleased with that," Watts added. The increase is contributed largely to the recruiting and retention methods used by ASU. Also aiding in the increase has been a 1986 federal court mandate to desegregate the system's 16 campuses. To continue enrolling black students at ASU and the other university system's schools, the board of governors has adopted a program that incorporates the SGA Assistant Attorney General Positon OPEN The Office of Attorney General will be accepting PP 'cations for next semester's Assistant Attorney ,.en"a>.

CHRISTMAS WINDS ITS WAY INTO BOONE: Boone held its annual Christmas parade this past Saturday. The parade coordinators were Cheryl Brown and Deborah Ragsdale. The parade had over 60 entries including floats, walking groups, cars and trucks. The parade started at the parking lot beside Edwin Duncan Hall. The parade route extend onto Water, King, Hardin, Appalachian and Rivers Streets. committments of the university system's desegregation consent decree into university policy. "We are certainly pleased with the in­ crease and it is a credit to our faculty and staff and as the quality of students im­ proves, so will the educational quality,"i Watts said. Christmas toys are educational and fun ASU News Bureau Finding Christmas toys that are educa­ tional and fun isn't as hard as it sounds, ac­ cording to an education professor. Dr. Constance Green said the main thing to remember is to look for toys that can be used in a variety of ways. These can be items as simple as blocks, clay and Play-Dough or more structured games which are suitable for toddlers or most elementary school children. A child can have fun stacking blocks, for example, but can also use them to learn to spell or learn about different shapes. "Things like blocks and clay let them be creative, but they can learn from them, too," Green said. "A three-year-old can play with blocks and have fun, but an 11-year-old will get a completely different enjoyment out of it," she added. When shopping tor toddlers, safety should be highly considered. Parents should not buy toys with pieces the toddlers could put in their mouths, and elecrtic or batteryoperated products should be avoided. "Young kids don't need-a lot of toys. They're usually happy with things from around the house," Green said. Art supplies, such as water colors, water­ proof markers and finger paints tend to be favorites among pre-schoolers. Boys and girls enjoy dolls or stuffed toys, which they Sports Author Speaks Sport ^ecember 7 at 7 p.m. Appalachian Mountain Steve |,anc' ^'sty Mountain Threadworks will feature T'tf n 3 Pr°fess'or|al sports trainer and author of Pwso "'\d"°r From a focus on individual train;"3 aeb'evement, llg explores nutrition, aerobic ing jnng' recovery, flexibility and mental skill trainsPorts genera' ar|d specifically relating to individual techni, S|Uctl. 3S cross-country and alpine skiing, ^yaiq3 c''mb'n8' mountaineering, backpacking, slide sh^ atlC' cycbn8- The program will include a beheld0XV*a ta'R and bar|ds-on clinic.

Trustee Chairman Richard Davis supported Thomas's approval saying people could die if the university just buried its head in the sand on this issue, use in dramatic play, and like to experiment with constructive materials such as Legos and Tinker Toys. "At that age they're learning fine motor coordination that gets them ready for writing, and they're also being creative. They don't really need a lot," Green said. Any kind of game that involves problemsolving is good, she added, as well as those, that help children to work together rather than compete. Green doesn't advise buying computer-like toys for young children' unless they specifically ask for orte. For children in the middle to upper elementary school grades, parents should avoid buying stereotypical toys and war toys advertised on television, she said. J hose products tend to encourage children to be more violent. Instead parent* could pick out a detailed puzzle suitable for the child's age. Books are always good gifts for children no matter what age. " Fry to find some that are developmentally appropriate for the child, not just those that are attractive," Green said. "The main thing to ask yourself is whether the toy can be used in different ways. Let them use their imagination, to develop new words and ideas," Green said. "Some toys let kids solve problems artd use their imagination, some just ask what two plus two is. You want toys that are go­ ing to help their development," she said.

Application Deadline: Friday, December 9, 5 p.m. �THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 6. 1988 Opposing groups join forces (CPS)—Students of the left-wing United Progressives at the University of Illinois do not have much in com­ mon with the campus's greeks, and the two groups often find themselves on opposite sides of issues. "They're our rivals," President of Ul's Panhellenic Council Jane Brouwer said. But now the Panhellenic Council, Brouwer said, has been mobilized and galvanized, marching and working with radicals and moderates, by a tragic series of 15 unsolved rapes near the Urbana-Champaign campus. And it is happening elsewhere: in early November in Providence, R.I., Brown University women rallied in the wake of two near-campus rapes, sharing horror stories of their own sexual abuse and demanding more protection. Angry students have rallied against rape and for better campus security at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Mankato State University in Min­ nesota, Northwest Missouri State, Millersville State in Pennsylvania, Yale and the University of Penn­ sylvania, and others, this fall. Perhaps even more significantly, the participants are making barely veiled promises to be more militant in fighting campus crime. At Brown, student Beth Bird vow­ ed to form a "counter-terrorist" group to retaliate against men who try to assault women. An Illinois women's group spraypainted anti-rape graffiti on two fraternity houses on a street where a rape was reported last fall. When Mankato State officials tried to solve budget problems by cutting a Sexual Assault Service job, hundreds of angry students protested, noting there had been a record number of student sexual assault reports in September. "Women statewide and nationwide are fighting back stronger and more united than ever before," University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee activist Mary Martin said at a recent Marquette rally. "A consciousness is developing," Elena DiLapi of the University of Pennsylvania's Women's Center said. "Women realize they don't have to be silent," she said. Public safety director at the Univer­ sity of Louisville Dan Keller and a former officer of several national campus police groups, agreed. People "are becoming more assertive of their rights, and demanding greater protec­ tion from colleges and universities." Students have been holding antirape vigils and marches for years, of course, but this fall's efforts have been bigger, angrier, more emotional, laced with those allusions to "counter terrorism" and joined, at last, by groups that have been notably apolitical in the past. "We stayed away from issues like this because we're a social group, and we tend to keep away from political issues," Brouwer said. "But sexism is a social issue, and we're the biggest women's group or campus." At Marquette's early November Take Back the Night vigil, organizer Beth Nowell was "impressed with the number of underclassmen and men. The scope is much broader now. You can't typify Democrat or Republican, which is good because these issues are not party issues. Everyone (who attended) is not a radical or left-wing person." "This tells us that women don't want to put up with this abuse anymore," spokeswoman for the National Organization for Women Junior Bridge said. "And the culture has changed. It's now saying this is not acceptable behavior that will no longer be tolerated. Loud protests may have made people uncomfort­ able, but the message has sunk in,' she said. "I resent the fact of feeling powerless," senior Kathy Hathaway said, who helped organize Brown's rally. While most of the fall's marches were provoked by recent on- or nearcampus rapes, director of the center for the Study and Prevention of Cam­ pus Violence at Towson State Univer­ sity in Maryland, Jan Sherrill said there is good reason for ongoing con­ cern. There were 64 percent more rapes reported during the 1986-87 academic year than in 1985-86, the center's annual survey of campus crime revealed, although sexual assault was down by 40 percent. Since rape, especially when it is committed by a date or an acquaint­ ance is perhaps the most underreported crime in the United States, the survey does not necessarily mean that rapes are up, but that students are reporting it more frequently. "It's hard to report a friend, or someone who lives in the dorm room next to you," Sherrill said. "Some things that were once reported as sexual assault are now considered rape," she added. As many as 25 percent of college women have been raped by a date or an acquaintance, Association of American Colleges member Bernice Sandler said. "Rape is not a rare occurrence. Every woman has a fear of rape. You can't walk across a cam­ pus at night without the fear of being raped," Sandler said. But while student concern about burglaries, muggings and assaults is usually articulated by demands for more police and better campus securi­ ty, the new anti-rape coalitions at many schools are targelting the sexism they say pervades their campuses and allows rape to exist. Campus housing shortages lessen (CPS)—The on-campus housing all students who wanted them. shortage that caused problems on "We moved people into permanent many campuses earlier in the fall spaces once the no-shows, the greek seems to be easing, housing officials pledges and others (who didn't need report. their room assignments) were iden­ While at seme campuses students tified, ' Cynthia Bonner, director of are staying in temporary quarters at Housing and Residence Life at North nearby hotels or in study lounges Carolina State University said through the end of the this term, "It's been a slow process," Bonner' dorm officials at the uniVersitiek'df' added.

Approximately 200 women were piaced in triple rooms. The University of North Dakota, which had more applicants for oncarripus housing than ever before, had 350 students in local motels.

DECEMBER 6, 1988 ET CETERA Jiere there's a Wellness Center, there's a way By KAREN WORTHINGTON Appalachian Staff Writer The Wellness Center has been in operation for the past three years, and this semester the center has a new home in the Student Support Building offering the "wellness" approach to a better life. CENTER: The Wellness Center has - - its former location on the first floor of j-Iall to the Student Support Building. In at ion, the Center will continue to educate staff and faculty on important health j j i Students can become involved with Wellness Center programs like the S.W.A.T. team—the Stu­ dent Wellness Advisory Team. These 25 student volunteers are trained to teach health awareness topics such as nutrition and exercise to residence hall groups, classes and club organizations. "The Wellness program is for students, staff and faculty and we do different programs based on what each group needs and what they want from it," Coordinator Susan Stamper said. The majority of the work the Wellness Center does is with students, and students benefit in a variety of ways. The Awareness program deals with emphasizing to students the im­ portance of health issues and provides information concerning a particular topic. Booths are set up from time to time offering students information on such topics as smoking. This year's booth was coordinated with the national Great American Smoke-Out. Another service the Wellness Center offers is educational groups, the largest being the S.W.A.T. team (student wellness advisory team). This particular group is made up of twenty-five student volunteers trained to teach health awareness topics with the residence halls, classes and for club organizations. Up to thirteen topics are discussed throughout the year, and cover such things as nutri­ tion and exercise. "The S.W.A.T. program is aimed at being lively, informative and very interactive so we aren't just someone F*.P.S. comedy night will be legendary LLIAM PURCELL palac-tiian Slaff Writer he same old routine night iveek after week?

These guys perform not only for the Comedy Zone but at other clubs such as Catch a Rising Star," General Manager of Legends Randy Kelly said. "This level is like the minor league of comedy and these guys are ready to go pro and some of them are going to be allstars one day." Legends opened the new comedy series last Thursday with Todd Yohn, the man who stole the show from Rich Hall iast year. "We wanted a great comedian to kick off the first show and we couldn't have picked a better one than Todd Yohn," Kelly said. "Anyone who saw Todd Yohn last year at Farthing Auditorium knows he is an up-and-coming star," Kelly added.

Proceeds from the print will go to the Hunger Coalition almost im­ mediately, he said. "Winter is obviously the time they (the coalition) go through their budget, they need more money in the winter.

"We could have put a dance or a band in that Thursday night slot but we wanted something different for the students. When students get tired of studying, burned out, or if they are looking for something new, the com­ edy series gives them something fun and exciting to go see," Laura Galvin, head of the council, said. Thursday night the event was refer­ red to as the "Comedy Club" or "Comedy Connection," Galvin said. "We will decide on the final name at our next meeting." The cost to the student will be $3. "When you compare what you pay at; other clubs to what you pay at Legends and then consider you are seeing the same comedians, Legends provides a much less expensive bill to the students," Kelly stated. Kelly en­ courages students to come out and see the new series. "Once you've seen one of these comedians you'll be back again," he said. O.K. Spring semester has started.

App-style Christmas By JENI GRAY Special to the Appalachian Part of the fun of Christmas is decorating your home for the holidays. And in recognition of the tradition, the Boone Lioness Club and the Watauga County Arts Coun­ cil are sponsoring Boone's first Christmas tour of homes on December 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The tour, part of ASU's An Appa­ lachian Christmas festival, includes tours of four beautiful Boone homes festively decorated for the holidays. Tours begin at Pine Hill Retirement Community on Shadowline Drive. Transportation will be provided, and the tour will stop first at the Frank M. Payne family's 12-room colonial home on Cherry Drive, a 1940 home that has been remodeled to include a terrace and large playroom. Judy Humphrey and Terry Taylor's house on Grand Boulevard is the next stop on the tour. Their home burned in a fire in 1985, and Humphrey and Taylor designed, contracted and finished their new home, which features wormy chestnut woodwork in the living room. The 8,000-square-foot home of the James C. Furman family in Blairmont features five bedrooms, two great rooms, a steam room and a racquetball court, while the traditional style house owned by the Jay Vincent fami ly on Eagle Drive features five bedrooms, three fireplaces and two decks. Tour participants can also stop to view the Jones House Community Center, which will be decorated in Victorian style done by the Town of Boone. Tours run throughout the day on December 10 with the last tour car leaving Pine Hill at 3 p.m. Tickets for the tour are $10 and are on sale at the Jones House at 124 E. King Street. For more information call 264-1789, 264-4100, or 262-4576. giving information but helping students apply this information to their life in a fun way," Stamper said. Often the Wellness Center provides campus-wide programs like CPR and cooking classes. Appalachian Wellness Center Life. This program is run by students helping other students increase awareness of drugs and offering educational activities. After that students may then discuss his or her assessment and receive relaxation training if needed. The Anti-Stress Program will attempt to focus on all areas that are stressful and try to prevent stress. The wellness approach will be taken which includes good nutrition, good exercise and tak­ ing time for one's self. "We also provide a learning resource center for students. For example, those students who need interns for academic credit or for those who just need resources for projects or papers." —Susan Stamper Wellness Center Coordinator The Lifestyle Improvement pro­ gram is a group which provides help for an individual who wants to make a change in his or her life to better their health.

This bright new star who tours the Comedy Zone circuit came to ASU despite the snow and by the end of his performance, the audience was screaming for more. I talked to Todd before the show about his life and his career. I found a man who is reaching for the stars and making a few friends along the way. Here is Todd Yohn up close and per­ sonal. The snow drifted slowly down from the sky all around me and the air was quite chilly. 1 made the long trek from the west side of campus to H'Appy's. (Oops! I mean Legends!) I walked in the door early in hopes of interview­ ing funny man Todd Yohn. People were busy setting up tables and chairs. I saw Todd across the room. He was busy chowing down on chicken from Daniel Boone Inn. I was nervous about interviewing a top name come­ dian like this but he looked like an ordinary college student in his faded Levis, his black sweatshirt and with his two Buds on the table. I introduced myself and he shook my hand and the interview was under way. Todd was very easy to get along with and he made you feel like you'd known him for years. Todd lived in Greensboro for nine years so we had something in common. We spent a lot of time talking about old times in Greensboro. Todd Yohn used to be a Video Jockey for TV-61 in Greensboro. "I enjoyed that job a lot, the people were great. 1 was having fun but the management left much to be desired," Yohn said. "I got word that the station was going out of business and that we were not going to be paid for our final week of work. 1 decided to leave in style. I said my good-byes and thanks to my friends and fans on the air and then I slipped in a tape of 'Take This Job and Shove It' and I left the studio," Yohn stated. Yohn then went to a local bar, Suds 'n' Duds, and watched channel 61. "It took four hours for anyone involved with the station to notice that I was off the air," Yohn added. Yohn made headlines in Greensboro with this incident. After the bad experiences with TV-61 he traveled with several rock and roll bands. Yohn ran into trouble with the rock and roll scene also. "There were so many drugs in the business, they were everywhere! The drugs were too much for me so I left the rock scene and moved into com­ edy," Yohn said. Yohn has been a full-time come­ dian for l/i years now. When asked who his favorite person to make fun of is, Yohn replied, "Me! I like to make fun of myself. 1 don't like to degrade others and I don't do political jokes. 1 think my job is not to remind people of all the problems in the world but to make them forget about them for a while," Yohn add­ ed. Yohn graduated in '74 and in high school he saw himself as the school prankster. "1 masterminded such plots as putting the principal's VW on top of the school and streaking through campus on motorcycles,' Yohn said. Funny man Todd Yohn made com­ edy opening night at Legends a huge success. When 1 started to make that long trek in the snow to the west side of campus I felt I had made a friend that night. Todd Yohn, a great come-* dian, will be a star one day and I can truly say that I got to know him up close and personal. Help fight hunger and play favorite tunes By STEVE YOST WASU on December 13.

Student governv» and in the future, should continue to pressure the ad°n into including students in these decisions and actually to ideas generated. Although many have tried, love cannot be categorized or put into a pill that is easily digestible. Like love, all things should not be categorized. Many scientists advocate that the human mind is very similar to a computer. Like a computer the psyche stores experiences, data and all kinds of information in categories. Our mind is suited for labeling material and non-material things so we can store information relative to the label under certain categories. For example, animal is a category that we would store all data relative to animals. Human and male are sub-categories of the larger subject heading. Categorization makes it easier for us to communicate ideas to others effectively, understand broad concepts and stereotype. Man loves to categorize. This is evident as one looks at Christianity. There are Catholics, Prot­ estants, Gnostics, etc. These categories can be broken down even further, especially in Protestant­ ism, to Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, Christian Scientists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Presbyterians, Unitarians, etc. This sub-category can once again be broken down into orthodox, neo-orthodox, modern­ ist, conservative, etc. Categorization is unlimited. There are many reasons why man categorizes the world but the most important is that categorization allows man to understand his world in an easy way, a way that is very similar to the way that his mind works. This may seem to be positive but it is not. Categorization distorts what the world really is and offers an understanding of it or of anything that we want to have, instead of what is really true. I am able to think of no better example than within Christianity itseif. Man was disturbed and angered by the teachings of Jesus the Christ. He taught a moral ethic that would be very difficult, if not impossible, to live by. Since man did not want to live by it, he decided what Christ really meant and has "sugar-coated" religion ever since. The books in the Bible were hand picked out ot the available texts about Christ at the time. Books that met the criteria of what people wanted to hear were kept and other books, not offering their preconceived view of Christ, were discarded. One of the oldest books written about Christ, The Gospe't of Thomas dated to 200 A.D., was one of the books which was discarded as it did not contain key elements that the cannonists wanted to hear. Therefore, the works of the Bible, even if they were divinely influenced, are not representative of Chris­ tianity as all of the works, especially gnostic works, are not included. However, even if you accept the Bible 'as is' then you must realize that the doctrines of the church which were supposedly supported by the Bible are the fabrication of man. Christians in the first and second centuries anno domini were wrestling with By CAROLYN DUNCAN Appalachian Columnist School is sometimes a cold, cruel place. The first snow fall last week was beautiful, although icy and the wind bitter. Finals, farewells and end­ ings of any kind make my throat hurt. The weather reflected the frigid begin­ nings in my heart. I realize the con­ tacts and relationships that are part of a class are soon to be a part of history. I experienced what a friend termed the "Boone bug" with that strange lingering cold, fever and other ailments. I am wondering, though, if this pain in my throat cannot be treated by infirmary remedies. The beginning of a school year has always given me the jitters and a very real pain in my stomach. Remembei those fears when you started first grade? They are just as real at other stages of educational life. The night before is long and usually sleepless.

Dr. Tom McLaughlin had that special gift to allay fears on my first day here. Despite his wisdom and expertise in his field, he conveyed an idea that gave me the heart to con­ tinue.

Christmas meaning lost in life Special lo i he Appalachian |l what being a 'Christian' was. Therefore, inspired by Constantino to decide (as set doctrine would create unity and this would further Constantine's political objectives), early Christians came together to define orthodoxy or right belief. One of the first examples of this was the Arian Controversy, Council of Nicea and Council of Chalcedon where the bishops decid­ ed whether Christ was created or co-eternal with God, whether God and Christ had the same essence and the relation of the human and divine in Christ. As a result, the doctrine of the trinity and the Nicene Creed were born to combat heresy (wrong belief). Countless examples exist that show and reaffirm the fact that the church (man not God) decided what we should believe. The church simplified the teachings of Jesus in order for us to obtain 'cheap grace.' In order for us to put ourselves above God, thus feeling superior, in that we understand and explain everything. As countless examples of the corrupting effects of categorization exist within the Christian church, examples also exist within all aspects of society. In order io understand, we must not form solid categorizations. Rather, we must form loosely fitting categorizations that allow for expansion and dele­ tion. Imagine, as John Lennon did, the non-existence of categories; no religions, denominations, sex, race, color, classes, borders or lines. Imagine a world that flowed together in love as love is more possible without categorization. Categorization hinders love as it makes others different from you in a bad way. Difference is good but the labeling of that difference is bad, in that essences cannot be labeled and by doing so we hinder the essence itself, thus reducing the beauty of it because we now understand it. Reflect upon this semester and grow — TV4 i-U C4+APt£R £0 H0\W TO B£ A t w i s t e r 10-^ CAP-OLD 99 Let me begin by stating my own spiritual situation in relation to Chris­ tianity. 1 am an agnostic: not a believer but not content in disbelief. However, for Christians and nonChristians alike, the celebration of Christmas is a tradition deeply rooted within the American heritage, and regardless of whether the individual chooses to partake in the holiday, its presence is unavoidable. In the weeks preceeding Christmas, the public is assaulted with an arsenal of holiday advertising which take aim not at their hearts but rather their bank accounts. In this sea of commer­ cialism and corporate greed, the true meaning of Christmas seems to have been forgotten or at least relegated to a secondary role. Santa Claus has replaced Jesus as the hero of Christmas in the minds of children and adults as well. No longer is the birth of the man that the majority of Americans believe to be the Son of God the issue of central importance, but rather a disturbing materialistic trend towards tninking in terms of "what I want for Christmas" reigns supreme. There seems to be an alarming con­ tradiction in such attitudes, for doesn't the very essence of Christiani­ ty revolve around the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the chance for salva­ tion which His sacrifice has offered to us? While Christmas has become a holiday of shameful excess, the depth of its ultimate meaning obviously contains a powerful message, which, if revised, could reverse the present trend and make Christmas a season of giving in the true sense. In order to accomplish this, I have developed a proposal in which the giv­ ing spirit of Christmas would no longer be contained within this revolving dcor of excess but rather would be directed towards those who are truly in need. This idea began on a strictly peisonal level in which I informed members of my family that I would prefer that rather than pur­ chasing a gift for me this Christmas, they would donate the money they would have spent on me to a worthy charity. While this sacrifice on my part would nave done some amount of good, it occurred to me how much more could be accomplished if somehow this proposal was able to gain widespread acceptance. If each person in America were to think in terms of the needs of those less fortunate than himself in contrast with his personal wants, it seems to me the choice would be clear and the results would be dynamic. Americans are fortunate to be in a posit-'on in which they can give, and they do, but often for the wrong reasons and in rather undersized porportions. Tax deductions and religious obligations should be ohly insignificant fringe benefits, in com­ parison with the compassion the giver has for the plight of his suffering fellow member of the human race. Thus, through this idea of compas­ sion for compassions sake alone, Christmas can become a meaningful hoiiday for people of all religious beliefs. There will never be an end to wor-. thy causes this money could be used towards, for while disasters like the flooding in Bangladesh, hurricanes in Jamaica and starvation in Ethiopia fade in and out of the headlines, these problems are not solved when the media coverage moves to disasters in other parts of the world. If the distance between your happy home and these occurrences lessens the impact or> your conscience, there are homeiess and hungry aduirs and children in your own backyaid, and this proximity would allow you to donate your time as well as your money to these needy people. 1 realize, however, not everyone will be willing to part with the tradi­ tion of personal gift exchange, so i merely propose an "economized" Christmas this year, in which the receivers will ask for less or nothing, and the givers will thus spend less, enabling them to donate the dif­ ference to the charity of their choice.

According to Greene a committee will be developed before the next town council meeting which might in­ clude three students (Greene among them), three citizens appointed by Boone Mayor Larry Keeter, an ASU administrator and a representative from the Chamber of Commerce, Greene is pleased with the progress SGA has made this semester. "I feel wonderful, I think SGA has had the biggest night in its history," Greene said. These proposals came after SGA had studied the ordinance for several months. "The student government senate, back in early October, set up a sub­ committee to study the Boone noise ordinance," Greene said. "(Senator) Jason Aydelott chaired the commit­ tee." That committee held between five and six meetings and researched cer­ tain areas of the ordinance, "After we compiled information dealing with certain amendments or things we thought were necessary for the ordinance, we looked at how we wanted to approach the Town Coun­ cil," Greene said. "We were initially going to ap­ proach them (Town Council) as stu­ dent body petitioners at large or an in- teres! group," Greene said. "However, while we're part of the community, we should still have corraborative efforts with people who live in the town." According to Greene, between 1,300 and 1,400 signatures were taken to Town Council in support of an ob­ jective way to approach noise or­ dinance revisions. Concil member Saul Chase said he was in support of the committee. Police Chief Zayne Tester and Lt. Ron Kurley, according to Greene, showed great support for this. "They've been real supportive of students," Greene said. "Tester com­ mended us and said he was for setting up the committee." According to off-campus affairs chairperson Kim Hall, the counsels decisions is a step in the right direc­ tion. "I think it's a start, a beginn­ ing—we've got the ball rolling," she said. "I think we should thank the Town Council and the police department for working with us and helping us out," Hall added. University's VAX updated By MARK S.

At its November meeting, Baylor's •mni association defeated a pro'jd to elect a slate of officers rtpresenting the "literalist," or fun«mewalist, wing of the Southern "Hist Convention, which owns and "Pctates Baylor. Last month, the Texas Baptist Con­ ation defeated a similar attempt to l a'l a literalist majority on Baylor's ™ard of trustees. hJhis's a problem of power, not lo?y, Baylor press secreiary Dr. %ne Baker said.

Fundamentalists also called for the resignation of a geology faculty member at William Cary College in Mississippi. Attempts to change other Baptist campuses have foundered. In 1987, literalist lobbied in Georgia Baptist Convention meetingsto remove the more moderate trustees of Mercer Universi­ ty, citing a 1986 Playboy magazine ar­ ticle that ranked Mercer as one of the nation's "top party schools" as proof the school was too liberal. The con­ vention reappointed Mercer's moderate trustees. The takeover attempt at Baylor began in October when George Fortenberry, one of Baylor's more conservative trustees, allegedly charg­ ed Baylor President Herbert Reynolds had taken steps to deny admisssion to Carmen Patterson, daughter of Dallas literalist leader Dr. Paige Pat­ terson. Fortenberry reportedly said Reynolds had written as letter to the younger Patterson, calling it an exam­ ple of what was wrong with Baylor. At the Texas Baptist Convention meeting in October, Fortenberry sponsored a slate of trustees to replace the board that had let Baylor's religion faculty become too liberal. Reynolds countered that Patter­ son's application had been handled routinely. She had been admitted dur­ ing the summer, but had faild to sub­ mit $100 that would have secured her place in the freshman class. She subsequently opted to attend college in Virginia. " I never wrote to her," Reynolds said during a press conference. " I never wrote to her parents, and she was admitted to Baylor. Baylor has never used religious affiliation as a test of admissions." By the time of the press con­ ference,Paige Patterson had publicly said he was sorry the matter had been brought up, and that he had not had any contact with Reynolds since 1984. The convention defeated the literalist slate, and last week Reynolds and his allies defeated a slate of literalist running for Baylor alumni association offices. The Student Information System (SIS) has recently been updated to allow for future uses. A new software version of SIS, a menu driven database oriented pro­ gram written by Information Associates of Rochester, N.Y. and adapted to address the university's academic and business needs, was installed over fall break. "It looks at all of those things that a normal institution has to do," Associate Registrar and SIS Coor­ dinator Don Rankins said. Rankins, along with a functional users team, worked with ASU's Com­ puter and Management Services to install the system. Over six months of preliminary adaptation and modifica­ tion was done to bring SIS to its cur­ rent status. "There are other universities that have these systems but there are two unique things about Appalachian's. We've made more modifications than the vendor recommended to meet academic requirements and we added initial records data to have on-line transcripts," Rankins said. The on-line transcript modification allows the user to view or print out a record of all course work taken at or transferred to ASU by a student over their academic career. According to Rankins, the infor­ mation contained in SIS is accessed through the Vax mainframe com­ puter. Users log on to the Vax using a unique password and then log on to SIS through a different password. Computer and Management Services control access to the Vax and the SIS Coordinator controls access to SIS. This separation of powers offers better security, Rankins stated. According to Rankins, it is extremely important the information contained in SIS remain secure since a great amount of that information is not available to the public. A "student's name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participa­ tion in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, class schedule and previous educational agency or institution attended by the student" will be released to the general public in response to inquiries according to the policy regarding confidentiality of student information. All of the above public information is stored in SIS in addition to non­ public information such as grades. Since non-public information is stored on SIS, one must be authorized to use the system. The security measures are set up in a way that no one could have access to SIS unless they were authorized users. Faculty and students who use the Vax normally log on to the Academic Disk Pack, a group of hard disks on which data is stored. SIS data is stored on the Admin Disk Pack (administrative disk pack). Security is set up in a man­ ner such that the Academic and Admin Disk Packs are not capable of communicating with each other. Therefore, for someone to access SIS, not only must they have two special passwords, they must have a certain use ID, the name that a person logs on under, that accesses the Admin Disk Pack. "There are other univer­ sities that have these systems but there are two irhique things about Ap­ palachian 's. We've made more modifications than the vendor recommended to meet academic re­ quirements and we added initial records data to have on-line transcripts. " Don Rankins Associate Registrar and SIS Coordinator "Currently, any office (on campus) that has a processing need" has access to SIS, Rankins said. "It's a need to know situation." The chancellor, vice chancellors, academic deans, department chairper­ sons and their support staff have access to SIS, Rankins stated. "I sit down with whomever is going to use the system to determine what they do and what they need access to," Rankins said. "This involves contact with the area coordinators for billing, receivables, admissions and financial aid." Rankins can deny access, allow users to update certain screens or allow viewing of certain screens. Therefore, an academic dean would not have access to a student's finan­ cial aid records. Users are able to access data through a series of menus. Forty dif­ ferent menu selections allows users to access information about students. All student records relative to finan­ cial aid, billing, course work and some personal information such as date of birth, mailing addresses and religious affiliations are contained in the database. The data base contains information about admissions and prospective students including SAT scores. Accounts receivable and financial aid data are also stored in SIS. SIS is also used in the university's registration process. Students are able to register with the help of an SIS operator at a computer terminal. Students who are hired and trained to operate SIS during the registration process are given special and limited access to SIS. According to Rankins, their access to SIS is terminated after their need to use the system is over. SIS records are backed up weekly. A master backup database is kept offsite. Also, actual records such as applications for admissions to grade reports are kept in their original form or on microforms. "We keep a hard copy of everything," Rankins said. According to Rankins even if some­ one could get through the security system and make changes to the data, or a computer virus destroyed records, record keeping procedures would allow for a correction of the data. "We are concerned about security related to our total files or particular changes to our files," Rankins said. "Proper computer storage procedures and records updating procedures along with our hard copy information allows us to feel somewhat secure." SIS storage uses approximately 2 to 2.5 million bytes of direct access memory out of an approximated total capacity of 10.2 billion bytes, Direc­ tor of Computer and Management Services Ernest L. Jones said. While approximately 25 percent of the mainframe's memory is being utilized by SIS, Rankins does not feel a problem exists. "1 don't think our disk storage has caused a problem yet," Rankins said. However, Jones noted that the See VAX Page 4 Senate approves condom bill B> JON JIMISON Vppataihian •Mem ,Karly an HaCe cnS!,na,e V„, Mllnr hour of debate, the passed a bil1 that wil1 Wlsbv" ?m. d'sPensers in residence P&i ' 'n '',e sPr'ng semester of n® North r' 'he first university .

The fee in creases include a $5 athletic increase, $12 physical education and facilities, $17 student health and student facility, $10 book rental and $50 sustinance-standard option in food services. The Senate vote will be sent to the adminstration for approval. "It's a small percentage increase, we don't have final approval, but it gives (SGA President) Gary Greene our vote," Callis said. Callis said the meeting's issues in­ creased Senate participation. "For the first time all year every senator in the house seemed to stand up and say something," he said. "It was the best meeting we've had all year." A UNIVERSITY SYSTEM FIRST: The Student Senate passed a bill that will place condom dispensers in residence halls at their meeting Tues­ day night. This makes ASU the first university in the North Carolina system to have condom dispensers in residence halls. President Gary Greene said Tuesday night was the biggest night in SGA history with the condom dispenser bill coupled with the decision by town council to form a committee to look at possible noise ordinance revisions. Also, next years budget was passed with only a 3.1 percent increase over last year. This is the smallest increase since 1986. I; �— THE APPALACHIAN, ' I i u n j v s i r , U L L L M U L K /, / W 8 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1988 ' 'I — Group says women often harassed, infrequently helped ICPSI Fpmalo />AllanA .1 (CPS)—Female college students too often suffer "peer harassment" from their male classmates, a new report by the Association of American Colleges (AAC) in Washington, D.C., charges, and it makes it harder for them to go to col­ lege. The AAC, which in recent years has sponsored numerous reports saying college women weather an inhibiting "chilly climate" on campus that men escape, defined "peer harassment" as humiliating, unwanted sexual com­ ments and derogatory sexual innuen­ does in its report, "Peer Harassment: Hassles for Women on Campus." "These things happen to women all the time, but no one ever looks at them," director of the AAC's Project on the Status and Education of Women. Bernice Sandler said. "Women often see these as bad" things but feel they can't do anything about it. Women don't complain because they see it as normal behavior, as the way men are, or they don t think anything will happen." "For too many students, relation­ ships between men and women are not always positive," the report said. 1IT "Too many women experience hostility, anger and sometimes even violence from male students." To a lesser extent, male professors also use their power over female students to bribe or coerce women to have sex with them, Sandler said. Other male professors collude in sex­ ual harassment by allowing their male students to berate women during classroom discussions. The report arrived as many cam­ puses were trying new ways to combat sexual harassment for students and campus employees. Pennsylvania's Millersville Univer­ sity, for example, formed a commit­ tee in October to educate students about sexual harassment. "It will not be tolerated," the committee's chair­ woman, Doris Cross said. Some schools require students to participate in sexual awareness seminars. Southern Methodist University now forbids amorous student-faculty relationships, as do the universities of Pennsylvania and Delaware, and Temple, Brown and Harvard universities. In fact, many campuses already are operating the kinds of programs the AAC suggests to help combat the problem. "I never feel they're doing enough," Sandler said of the efforts. Institutions are just becoming aware that this is a problem. This is just a beginning." Students, too, have tried. A University of Massachusetts fraternity canceled a bikini contest last spring when the event's sponsor, Miller Beer, was petitioned by offended students. About 50 students picketed a University of Maryland fraternity where several members had surround­ ed and threatened a woman who had complained about a song they were chanting about gang rape at a campus bar. "There's no question that frater­ nities and sports teams, in particular football and basketball teams, are the worst offenders," Sandler said. The report accused fraternities of fostering "a crowd mentality" that, when combined with drinking, can "create a potentially explosive situa­ tion (for women)." The report cited other common examples: "scoping," which involves loudly rating passing women's attrac­ ASU Department of Recreation, Intramurals, and Club Sports Presents: MARTIAL ARTS SEMINAR On Tuesday, December 6 and on Thursday, December 8 in the Quinn Recreation Center Beginners Class 8:00-9:30 p.m. Advanced Class 9:30-10:30 p.m. To have fun To learn self-defense in a safe environment To learn Stances Hand techniques Footwork Foot techniques Strategy Fighting concepts To learn Karate from a traditional as well as a modern concept To develop better flexibility and coordination through the martial arts No prior martial arts training or experience is necessary in order to enjoy this seminar.

"The tradegy is that this is seen as usual behavior," Sandler said. Although peer harassment prob­ ably is widespread, Sandler said few schools have surveyed their students to determine the extent of the problem. In 1986, however, Cornell Universi­ ty found that 78 percent of the female students it surveyed had heard sexist comments and 68 percent had received unwelcome attention from male peers. In another study, 92 percent of the Regular Price $8.15 SPECIAL $3.69 CPS—New outbreaks of racial insults were reported at the University of Massachusetts and nearby Smith College as UMass prepared for a week-long commemoration of a 1986 fight between black and white students that left 10 people injured. Racial tensions also have plagued the University of New Mexico, Dart­ mouth College, Stanford and DePaul universities in recent weeks despite seminars and meetings designed to teach white students racial sensitivity and to ease blacks' sense of alienation on predominantly white campuses. At Smith, President Mary Maples Dunn sent a memo to the school's 2,700 undergraduates saying that notes with racial slurs had been slipped under a student's door and tacked on a bulletin board. A separate memo from the Office of Student Affairs said that other students had received similar notes since mid-September. The school said an investigation was under way. Six DePaul University fraternities and sororities apologized for a party that featured decorations including graffiti slurs against minorities. Members of the six houses at the Indiana campus staged a candlelight vigil October 17 and marched from the Alpha Tau Omega house, where the party was held, to the Association for Afro-American Students office. Members of the two groups con­ ferred, shook hands and embraced. At New Mexico, the Minority Stu­ dent Coalition has asked ad­ ministrators to punish Sigma Alpha Epsilon for building a "racist, offen­ sive" float for the October 7 Homecoming parade. Dartmouth Dean Edward S? Shanahan last week wrote a letter to all students condemning a series of handwritten notes anonymously delivered to campus blacks, women The Food Court 4:00 pm-until. . .

"It's really frightening," student Kris Moller of the Women's Issue League said. "I know this guy is targeting me." At Stanford, a poster at a predominantly black fraternity was discovered earlier in October with the word "nigger" scrawled on it. Two weeks earlier, a flier depicting Beethoven as brown-skinned, with wild, curly hair, big lips and red eyes was left outside a black student's room. The UMass administration is look­ ing into reports of racial slurs made over walki-talkies two weeks ago on a frequency reserved for foremen and supervisors of the Physical Plant Department. "I've been working as dispatcher here 13 years and I've never heard anything like that," Dennis Hmieleski said, who was on duty at the time. "You hear people joking around sometimes and you take it for that, but it was the tone of the voice. You could tell it was no joke. Hmieleski said he wasn't certain who made the remarks. He said he and other workers reported them to the department's director. The 1986 fight at UMass was one of the most notorious racial problems that have plagued American cam­ puses during the last three school years. Five white UMass students, disap­ pointed that the Boston Red Sox had lost the World Series to the New York Mets, beat up a black Mets fan. A subsequent racial brawl left 10 injured. UMass officials later expelled several of the white students involved in the initial attack. Soon after the fight, racial epithets were found spray-painted on steps at Smith.

October, lawmakers agreed to aid from any student convicted ing or selling illegal drugs, inancial aid is the source for federal dollars to assist students, so the government is making this a major tool of social influence in higher education," financial aid director at Oregon's Portland State University John Anderson said. Conditioning financial aid "holds students ransom to whatever is the agenda of Congress at a given time," Janet Lieberman, legislative director for the United States Student Associa­ tion (USSA) in Washington, D.C. said. USSA, Lieberman said, is against using student aid as a tool for any agenda or purpose except funding a student's education. Bentsen's plan, moreover, "may result in only low income people doing it (community service) rather than people of all levels," she added. "If you have plenty of money, you can go to school without the federal aid." The plan would also hurt the economy by keeping newly graduated students out of the workforce, and thus deferring the day they start pay­ ing taxes to the government, aid direc­ tor at Indiana University and Purdue University's combined campus in Indianapolis Shirley Boardman said. Boardman added, "An engineering graduate who gets a $35,000 job will pay back his financial aid in taxes soon enough." She tells financial aid applicants, " 'I'm here to make you into nice little taxpayers.' " The eight-year-old law that makes male students promise they have filled out military registration forms, for example, really hasn't helped the government track down draft evaders. Portland State's Anderson said the U.S. Dept. of Education tried to verify if students who said they'd filled out the military forms actually had done so, and found that 90 per­ cent were telling the truth. "They didn't find evaders, but they're still continuing with this," Anderson said. Schools have not actively opposed the military registration string tied to aid because they themselves do not have to go to the trouble of deciding if students are telling the truth on the firms. "Part of the application form asks if the student has complied with the law. He checks the box. There's no verification on the part of the school, so there's no big problem," the University of Connecticut's associate director of financial aid Rich Bishop said. And some are upset with Congress' new effort to deny aid to students who have been convicted of violating drug laws not because of any sense of violated principle, but because it would be difficult for the financial aid office to administer. "How is the university to know when a prosecutor has called for denial of financial aid?" Boardman asked. "There is no good network to look up (a student's record). And if the student was convicted in Los Angeles in 1989, then comes to Indiana, we have no way to find this. The logistics baffle me." Boardman also questioned the logic of the measure. "It's so uniquely American to try to tie everything to legislation and money," Boardman said. "Why pick this one kind of criminal behavior, but all else is okay? It's unfavorable to have possessed marijuana; a serial ax murder is okay?" "I know they're trying to find a way to win the drug war, but is this going to discourage someone from using drugs?" she asked. To Anderson, it's a case of "misdirected social engineering." "If education is a way of overcom­ ing poverty, and involvement with drugs is part of that background, then denying access to college forces the individual to stay in that en­ vironment," Anderson said. Despite all the grousing, observers expect Congress will consider tying new strings to aid—cutting aid to students who go to school where more Religion professor writes book By JON JIMISON Appalachian News Editor Appalachian State University pro­ fessor Conrad E. Ostwalt will have a book published on the positive aspects of secularization in American religion. Ostwalt, 29, began his book as a dissertation project in 1986 for Duke University's religion and culture doc­ torate program. Secularization in religion is a pro­ cess which moves one from a sacred view of the world to a scientific view. He said the academic communities interest in secularization in religion has increased over the last 20 years. According to Ostwalt, a reason for secularizaiton's recent popularity is due to the evangelical view that it is always evil. He hopes to convery in SGA his book that people are developing new understandings of the world by questioning these traditional religious beliefs. "A dissertation is unlike a book because there are certain things that you have to do in a dissertation that you would never do in a book, certain research techniques," Ostwalt said. "1 tried to choose a topic that I thought would be publishable," Ostwalt said. "When I began I had the idea that I would eventually make it a book." The book was sent to Bucknell University Press last fall. It was ac­ cepted for publicaiton on the condi­ tion that certain minor revisions be made. Official notice of publication was made in late October. Ostwalt said his book is not likely to be used for any collegiate course. However, he hopes it will be used in other facets of collegiate study. "Hopefully it will be a tool for other scholars who teach in the areas of religion or American studies," he said. Despite his book research, Ostwalt feels that teaching is his first respon­ sibility. 3 RAM's Rack Thrift Shop 110 S.

DECEMBER /, 1988 Computer virus destruction Another computer virus strikes (CPS)—Still another computer "virus" spread last week, this time disrupting Macintosh computers at California State University at Northridge. Despite new precautions and debates provoked by the virus—sup­ posedly created by a Cornell Universi­ ty grad student—that clogged some 6,000 computers at campuses and research centers across the country in mid-November, copycat viruses also have appeared at the University of Houston, Connecticut College and Baylor and North Carolina State universities. Officials have cured the viruses quickly in most cases. At Northridge, for instance, bookstore employees now test students' disks before letting students rent computers. To prevent future viruses, moreover, some observers predict students at other campuses may have to endure disk searches and scoldings to behave. "We're going to send out a message loud and clear that this is not to be tolerated, this is not a matter to be taken lightly," Eugene Mallove of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said, which had the Tech Talk, the student paper, republish the campus's computer policies. Just after one of its grad students was identified as a virus author, Cornell held a safe computing seminar to advise people to back up their disks, to avoid trading programs "promiscuously" and to "wear pro­ tective software" that can detect viruses. Still others see their job as teaching computer law to "techies." "They spend an enormous amount of their lives in front of a screen. Some are somewhat introverted," Stanford University's computing director James Ball said. "Computer scientists, I don't believe, have the foggiest notions about laws on such things as copyright infringements." "I would like to see students more sensitized to this," University of California-Berkeley experimental computing center worker Peter Yee said. "Before this incident, students felt that security and privacy were somebody else's problems," Yee said. "Now that one of our own has done this, I expect more in-depth discus­ sion." "I think there's a broad consensus among students and faculty at Harvard that tampering with major computer systems is a very bad thing to do, and it can cause disruption within the whole social structure," vice president for government, com­ munity and public affairs at Harvard John Shattuck said. Convincing people not to write viruses—actually self-replicating pro­ grams that can destroy data automatically without the user's knowledge—is the best cure, Shattuck said, because vaccines cannot be created fast enough. "The technology is moving so rapidly here that it's somehow gotten ahead of the discussion and careful weighing of principles, as reflected in the slow evolution of law in this area," Shattuck said. No one even knows if the creator of the nationwide virus broke any laws. The FBI is investigating, and on November 18 word leaked that a federal grand jury in Syracuse, N.Y., was interviewing Cornell grad student Robert T. Morris, reportedly the virus's creator. News accounts said Morris invented the virus, but did not mean to let it out on several nationwide net­ works, where it quickly began making copies of itself by electronic mail. His frantic efforts to provide anonymous clues to halting the virus, which consumed memory space but did not destroy any data, failed to stop its spread to an estimated 6,000 machines, including systems at the Massachusetts and California institutes of technology, the univer­ sities of Maryland, Texas, Illinois, and Washington, as well as Boston, Stanford, Harvard, Colorado State, and Drexel universities, to name a few. Unattected schools attributed their escape from the virus to luck. We were protected because we use a differeni kind of network protocol and operating system," director of the University of Texas-El Paso's computer center John Starner said. Ohio State escaped only because it was using a new version of the soft­ ware the virus was attacking, "it's a good thing that we were keeping the operating system up to date," OSU's computer center worker Michael Fidler said. Alert computer operators at Michigan State University "found out about it soon enough to take effective measures to keep it from reaching us, explained MSU's Doug Nelson. Still, the incident showed how vulnerable the nation's new electronic information systems are. "A lot of us have talked about what could have happened," Ball said. "If this had been a malicious attack, it could have been a real disaster." But Ball thought the computing community would rally to stop viruses. "I think there's a general impres­ sion it was wrong," he said. "People are talking about the possibilities of fines and imprisonment. People realize the severity of the potential outcome for people who do it, sort of like if I'm speeding and I see a crash where people burned to death." VAX foreign language courses graduation requirements. "Enrollments in foreign language classes are increasing, at a time when enrollments in general are only holding steady," Modern Language Association (MLA) member Richard Brod said, apparently unaware that scores of campuses have had to cope with surprise enrollment increases this fall. Interest in foreign language study has had its ups and downs. Brod said that language re­ quirements were more common before World War II. "There was a loosening in the 1950s and 60s. Then there was a revival." A 1987 MLA study found more than a million students weit enrolled in language courses other than English for the first time in 14 years.

Currently, no student records have been purged from the system and records are on file back until 1982. Rankins noted that the university must keep student academic records in some form (microforms or elec­ I? (CPS)—It is easier than it used to be to get into college without having any foreign language credits, but most colleges now make it harder to graduate without taking some. In a survey of campus language re­ quirements, the American Council on Education (ACE) has found that one in 12 colleges has increased foreign language graduation requirements during the last five years. But less than five percent of the na­ tion's community colleges, which em­ phasize preparing their students to get jobs, require entering students to know a foreign language. One in eight requires that students take a foreign language before graduating. The authors of the ACE's study, called "International Studies for Undergraduates, 1987," were en­ couraged to find that 75 percent of the U.S.'s four-year campuses make Retail: $240.00 Continued from Page 1 'W More languages required tronic reco.ds) forever. Eventually, old records will be writ­ ten to tape as an alternative storage device. This data could be accessed fairly quickly, Rankins said. One of the reasons SIS was incor­ porated is that it offers enough flex­ ibility for future uses. According to Rankins, one of the possibilities for the future is touch tone telephone registration. I nis would allow a student who has access to a touch tone phone to dial in and schedule courses by pressing certain numbers on the phone.

Wriler ASU's International Relations Association recently traveled to Philadelphia to participate in this (oar day conference. The ten person delegation, led by advisor Dr. Roland Hoy, discussed and debated issues from Cyprus to chemical warfare. The model UN follows parliamentary procedure and gives students a chance lo formulate resolutions. Then amendments are made to the specifications of all the represented countries until a two-thirds majority vote can be obtained. This can be a long process, sometimes taking hours, but the final result is something with which all the countries can live with. "You get a broader understanding of politics," General Assembly delegate, Kimber McLeod said. "It can be frustrating and everybody has such a different view. It takes a lot of work to get everyone to come to an agreement, but when they do it can be very rewarding." McLeod, club vice-president, has been active in the IRA for three years. She enjoyed the conference and did not mind the nine hour drive. "We « such an individual and varied roup, it is always fun to travel with them," she said. ASU represented Norway and got jopay a visit to the Norwegian empSy in Washington, D.C. to prepare the conference. While in D.C., partied at Posseur's and The n, two Georgetown night clubs. "You get a broader understanding of politics. It can be frustrating and everybody has such a different view.

This is the fourth year this event has taken place. The fair is sponsored by Pauline Thompson, a local resident who is in' terested in travel and who assists in financing the fair. During the fair, literature about various opportunities abroad will be available, as well as a chance to meet with some of the coordinators for the different trips. Chariman of the Foreign Language Department Dr. Ramon Diaz-Solis will be present as well as Dr. Larry Horine from Inter­ national Studies, Dr. Ulrich Froehlich of the German Department and Dr. Bill Griffin from the French Depart­ ment. Eight different programs of study abroad are offered through ASU in­ cluding summer options to "For the money, it's one of the best trips you can take. It's realty a diverse trip.

Students can also spend a semester in Tours, France, or go overseas to China. This past year around 100 students participated in one of the eight programs, but Assistant Direc­ tor of Internaitonal Studies Tom Adams feel the number of students will increase in the future. He feels these trips overseas can be a valuable learning experience. "I think that it's a more interdependant world and those people with experience in traveling overseas are just going to have a leg up (in the job market)," Adams said. Students can earn 3 to 6 hours of credit by participating in the study abroad programs as well as having a good time. Within the exhange pro­ gram with the University of Wurzburg in Wurzburg, Germany, students get a chance to travel on the weekends, and at the end of the pro­ gram a glacier skiing trip is offered. The trip to Madrid, Spain offers side trips to Toledo, and on the trip to Paris, students can visit the Chateaux country, as well. "All these are excellent trips—a good way to get to Europe and get three to six hours of credit. We want to get the best deal for our students," Adams said. W-4 or W-4A, "ErnpW? Withholding Alio J?

The Moor's Pavane, plus new works by resident choreographer, Thor Sutowski. Famed dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov has hailed the company as "talented, young, energetic... and with quality and determination." The New York Times said "Arova and Sutowski are exceptional teachers who are shaping the budding talents for our major troupes." International ballet star, Dame Sonia Arova, began her dance train­ ing with the Opera Ballet National Theatre in her native Sofia, Bulgaria. In 1939 she won the World Cham­ pionship for Dance and made her debut with the International Ballet Company in 1942. Arova toured Japan in 1952. In 1945 she joined the Americat. Ballet Theatre.

A.P.P.S. produced the event which included a lipsync contest, free refreshments and free admission to see the Boomers. Congratula­ tions to the ADPi's for their winning rendition of Aretha Franklin's "Respect." The group won $200 and the sorority won a free night at Legends for a fundraising event. Due to cold weather, the parking lot party had to be moved inside where the crowd listened to the tunes of Charlotte's Boomers. King Bees sting with the blues By MICHELE M. HOLLOWELL Appalachian Diversions Editor "Everyone's had the blues," King Bees vocalist and bassist Penny Zamagni said. And that's what makes blues music so appealing to all audiences. Some people may think blues means depressing, cry-in-your-beer music but that's not the case. "Blues is a sort of primal' energetic music, It's very expressive and party oriented," Zamagni said. The band is made up of Zamagni, bass/vocals; Rob Baskerville, guitar; Mike Wesolowski, blues harp and Mike Kelleher, drums. pretty universal," Zamagni said. The King Bees are playing the Sollecito's Fan Club tonight at 9 p.m. "People can really get wide open to blues. They can get out of their inhibitions. " Penny Zamagni "We hope anyone who has any in­ terest in blues will come out tonight," Zamagni said. The King Bees will kick off a weekend of good music when they play tonight, Discord playing Sollecito's Friday night and another local blues band, The Alligators, play Saturday night at Sollecito's also. "People can really get wide open to blues. They can get out of their inhibi­ tions," she added. So get rid of some of that end-ofthe-semsester stress and come down to hear the King Bees play the blues. Last Monday, the campus nightclub, formerly known as H'Appy's received a new identity. From now on, no matter what anyone has to say about it, the club is Legends.. .and H'Appy's became history. Despite the protests and objections from those who were happy with H'Appy's, the gala opening of Legends started promptly at 7:30 p.m. A large Klieg light in the parking lot cast a beam of light that could be seen for miles around. However, the birth of the new era in ASU entertain­ ment seemed to be ill-fated from the beginning. The parking lot party, which was supposed to kick off the evening's events, was called off because of freezing temperatures. The only thing left to do outside was unveil the new logo bearing the club's rfcw' name*,' but 'eveh that resulted in disaster. The canvas got tangled due to (surprise!) high winds, so when the canvas was pulled down, the letter "L" broke off. So the shivering crowd migrated inside for the much warmer entertainment inside the new club, which now bore the name "egends." Once inside, things seemed to go more smoothly. As with many radical changes in history, Legends' grand opening was marked by speeches, one given by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Dr. David Mclntire, and another by SGA President Gary Greene. Then the tension mounted as A.P.P.S. Stage Shows chairperson Laura Galvin turned on the Legends light—which worked, much to eveyone's amazement. There was an air band contest, which a group of Alpha Delta Pi's won with their mimicking of the Aretha Franklin hit "Respect." The crowd then gathered around the stage to see the Boomers, who christened the Legends stage. Yes, trivia buffs, remember that—the Boomers were the first band to play at Legends, and they did their best to prove that the word "party" is now officially considered a verb in this country. Hailing from Charlotte, the shadow-shaved, mousse-abused Top 40 cover band played the hits, all the hits, and nothing but the hits. With their (and everybody else's) brand of dance music, the Boomers drew a large portion of the audience to the dance floor, shaking and jiggl­ ing like a plateful of Jello on a boat in high seas. The musicians showed their ver­ satility by switching instruments like a roulette wheel. The lead singer also played keyboards. One of the keyboardists also played saxophone, while the other one played drums. The drummer sang lead, and when he did, he proved tV\at evep whiles can act black. "Yo, Appalachian got some big ol' butts?" shouted the drummer as he initiated "Da Butt" competition. As many of you probably know, "Da Butt" is a popular dance tune, and in the middle of the song, the drummer summoned all available buttocks to the stage to shake their cans and have them baptized with a variety of dubious nicknames. With the conclu­ sion of this show of posterior pulchritude, the opening celebration of Legends ended. A.P.P.S. put a huge amount of work into the facelift of H'Appy's, and they did a very commendable job. A great amount of attention was given to the project, from the selec­ tion of the new name (which, inciden­ tally, was voted on by the students) to the club's debut, and all this involved some very innovative advertising devices. However, it will take a while for the new name to soak into students' minds, and Legends will be referred to as "H'Appy's er, uh.. .Legends" for quite some time. MMM! • — fltrl »* m "Blues is a sort of primal' energetic music. It's very expressive and party oriented." Penny Zamagni King Bees vocalist and bassist Although there is a type of slow blues that gets into downright despair, The King Bees focus on an upbeat blues style. There are many styles of blues, but the band prefers the Chicago blues that legendary Muddy Waters fathered. Blues began in the late 1800's as black American music. Field hollers and black work songs were some of the first blues songs. The music slowly evolved into a more sophisticated sound until the 50's when the inven­ tion of electric instruments brought a new sound to blues and the rest of the music world. Blues laid the ground­ work for rock and roll and the legends Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. The King Bees and their sound have gained a wide following in Boone and the area. They hope to introduce as many people as possible to the blues. "We like to expose people to blues. I hope they can appreciate it,"Zamagni said. During the past years, white youth seems to be carrying on the blues tradition as black youth has branched into soul, funk and rock. A white band singing black blues doesn't pose a problem for the band. They feel blues can transcend racial boundaries. "The groove and feel (of blues) is CHAMBER ENSEMBLE: An Appalachian Summer's 1988 season is over, but some of the music will be heard again. The UNC Center for Public Television will broadcast the Broyhill Chamber Ensemble's July 24 "Old Romantics, New Romantics" concert Sunday, December 11 at 3 p.m. The hour-long program opens with "An Odyssey Reminiscence," written by Robert Chumbley, An Appalachian Summer's artistic direc­ tor and holder of ASU's Sharpe Chair in the Fine Arts. Chumbley, the chamber ensemble's founder, is also the North Carolina Symphony's composer-in-residence. The Broyhill Chamber Ensemble has won rave reviews in major American and European cities since 1984. �H T H E A P P A L A C H I A N , THURSDA Y.

Instead of encouraging an educated, understanding, (dare I say Christian) approach to a problem, society has fostered by letting it grow unchecked; children are taught to alienate and condemn drug users. In one commercial, three children are hanging out at a game room. One boy suggests going to "get wasted" and is promptly told by the two "good" kids to get lost. The com­ mercial ends with the "bad" boy walking away alone. Do you think this boy is going to go home and think "Gee, maybe 1 shouldn't do drugs." No, he probably will find other kids like himself who will get wasted and accept him, instead of re­ jecting him. A much better approach would have been the two kids trying J* J> # ^ o* \ to convince the boy he didn't need drugs or alcohol to appear cool and grown up, or need it to deal with his problems. The two kids could have offered help and support instead of pushing him back in the wrong direc­ tion. One commercial with a positive IT essage is aimed at parents. Parents are encouraged to involve their children in music lessons, sports or other activities that can provide a sense of accomplishment and pride for children. This commerical sug­ gests one of the best ways to prevent a problem. Commercials that show kids displaying a healthy attitude about themselves are more helpful as role models than kids who seem to think they can solve their problems by turning their backs to them. We need commercials that promote an awareness of what drugs can do, not something that instills fear.

Appalachian Staff Writer "I can't say enough about Beth Laney. We thought there could easily have been co-MVPs in the tourna­ ment," Robinson said. A four-year starter and two-time all-conference selection, Beth Laney provides the Lady Apps with a consis­ tent defensive and offensive force. While drawing the toughest defensive assignment game after game, Laney averaged 12.2 points per game and 5.8 rebounds. This year, both averages should go up. "This year, I think you are going to see a much more multifaceted Beth Laney on offense and the same Beth on defense," Robinson noted. "She has always had a good shot from 18-20 feet out, only she never took it. This year, she knows she has to take it." Several times in the Stetson game, the Lady Mountaineers needed a big basket. Debbie Swicegood came through time and time again when the chips were down. "Whenever we needed points in the tournament, there were three players who came through for us—Kim Johnson, Beth Laney and Debbie Swicegood. All our seniors came through tonight when we needed them," Robinson said. A 5'6" senior from Welcome, N.C., Debbie Swicegood provides the sort of ball handling and deadly out­ TV Tom Apke enters his third season as head basketball coach at Appalachian State University and welcomes eight lettermen, including five starters, from last season's squad. Apke, in his 15th season as an NCAA Division I head coach, guided the Mountaineers to a 16-13 overall mark in 1987-88, making ASU one of the nation's most improved clubs with an eight and one half game turn­ around from the previous year. En route to the 16 wins, Apke captured his 200th career victory. The Cincin­ nati, Ohio, native has compiled a 212-179 overall record at ASU, Creighton, and Colorado in 14 seasons. The Mountaineers, tied for fifth in the Southern Conference with an 8-8 league mark, caught fire in midseason, winning 10 of 12 games, including six consecutive victories, heading into the final two weeks of the season. The Apps then lost five in a row, including two in overtime and a one-pointer at the buzzer. Apke is excited about his third Mountaineer squad due to added experience, depth, and a talented pair of incoming players. For two seasons his teams have been among the youngest in Division I, but heading into the 1988-89 campaign, he can call on six players in either their junior or senior years. A year ago, Apke only altered his lineup on three occasions, with four returning players having started in all 29 games, and the other starter getting the nod in 26 outings. Of the 14 roster members, only three will be in their first season of college basketball. Three lettermen are missing from last season's team in Jerry Holmes (6-9), Darryl Person (6-3), and Sanford Killian (6-6). Holmes averaged seven points a game as the backup center. Holmes grabbed four rebounds a night and played in all 29 games. Person chipped in with just under five points per outing and saw action in 24 games. Killian played in 16 contests and scored just 1.9 points per game. the Toledo Holiday Classic with Washington State, Eastern Kentucky and host Toledo, on December 28-29. Following the Toledo trip, the Mountaineers open Southern Con­ ference play, hosting league tourna­ ment champion Tenn-Chattanooga on January 7.

Match ups set for New Year's By AUBREY HOOVER Assistant Sports Editor There is still a week remaining for some college football teams, but for all intents and purposes the regular season is over and it's time to go "bowling." There will be a couple of teams battling for a national champion­ ship, a couple will be playing simply for pride and their fans, and a few teams will be playing in bowls sim­ ply because some bowl represen­ tative decided they deserved a bid. Let's take a look at some of the more interesting postseason mat­ chups. Fiesta Bowl: Notre Dame vs. West Virginia The big one, the one everybody has been waiting for. Will this game live up to all the hype it will get from NBC. This game will decide the national championship unless, of course, it ends in a tie. Beano Cook of ESPN Sports picked the Mountaineers to be number one and could be proven prophet if West Virginia can pull this one out. Both teams can put points on the board via an explosive running game. Once Tony Rice of Notre Dame or Major Harris of West Virginia leave the pocket they are as dangerous as any runningback in the country, except one. Guess who? The Mountaineers may be the best team in the country, but when you give Irish coach Lou Holtz a month to prepare for a team, Notre Dame will be tough to beat. My pick: Notre Dame 28, West Virginia 21 Orange Bowl: Miami Fla. vs. Nebraska It's great to see somebody besides Miami and Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. This is a battle of two quarterbacks, Steve Walsh (of Miami) and Steve Taylor (of Nebraska), who don't get nearly the credit they deserve. Forget about Rodney Peete and Troy Aikman; the Cane's Walsh is the best playcaller in the country. Taylor has come on strong since an early season loss to UCLA and is capable of leading Nebraska to a win over a favored Miami team. The Hurricanes believe they're the best in the land and they will be out to prove that against the Cornhuskers. Don't write Nebraska off though; they've played high-quality football since their loss to UCLA. My pick: Nebraska 24, Miami 21 Sugar Bowl: Florida State vs. Auburn This annual affair played in the New Orlean's Superdome will pit the nation's best defense against the sunshine state's best team. Aside from the Fiesta Bowl, this will be the best bowl game to watch. This is another postseason game that helps prove that a playoff system is needed. Both Auburn and Fla. State can beat anyone in the country and deserve their shot at being No. 1. Both teams come into the Superdome showdown with 10-1 records and a lot of crowd support. It might not be for a national cham­ pionship but don't tell the Superdome fans that. My pick: Florida State 10, Auburn 17 Citrus Bowl: Clemson vs. Oklahoma Clemson Coach Danny Ford has to be pleased with this matchup. He's been trying to build the Tigers into the "Oklahoma of the East" and now he gets to test his team against the real thing. This is not the best Sooner ball club Barry Switzer's ever coached, but if the wishbone gets rolling, then the Orange folks are in trou­ ble. And if the Sooners are forced to pass...duck. Clemson quarterback Rodney Williams will be making his last start as a Tiger, which many Clem­ son fans have longed to hear. Like him or not, Williams has won a lot of bailgames for coach Danny Ford, and he might even be missed next year. But I doubt it. My pick: Oklahoma 24, Clemson 14 he iZ* A tea**1 side shooting needed to win in the Southern Conference. Swicegood's assist and scoring averages have risen every year as a Lady App and after this weekend's two games, she needs just one point to move onto the list of top 10 all time scorers at ASU. "Debbie will take the clutch jumper and stick it in people's faces. She has improved on her defense. Debbie will be much the same this year, but more confident, which is what you really hope will happen to a senior. It pleases us that she has taken much more of a leadership role," said the coach. Rounding out the senior leadership are Joanie Bracektt and Marcheta Sigmon. Brackett ran the offense well in both games of the tournament. She controlled the flow of the game with her ball-handling and defense. Sigmon provided the Lady Moun­ taineers with 14 quality minutes off the bench in the championship game. She showed an improved offense, scoring nine point, and chipped in with five rebounds. "Joanie Brackett played great. She could easily be on the all-tournament team.

I I Ben Miller (6-6), a starter in all 29 contests, averaged 10.4 points per outing and was second in rebounding to Gibson at 5.2. The Winston-Salem, N.C., junior connected on 56 percent of his field goal attempts and shot nearly 80 percent from the line. Miller scored in double figures on 16 occa­ sions and grabbed four or more rebounds in 23 games, including nine of the last 10. Ronnie Christian (6-5) returns for his senior season after starting in 26 games. Playing both the big guard and small forward spots, Christian was second on the club in average minutes played at 30.5 and shot just under 80 percent from the charity stripe. Fifth on the team in scoring, the Winston-Salem, N.C., native chipped in with eight points per game. Jimmy Stewart (6-8) returns after backing up at both the forward and center positions. The Colonial Heights, Va., junior averaged three points and 2.6 rebounds in just under 12 minutes playing time per game. A Southern Conference All-Freshman team selection in 1986-87, Stewart was second on the club in blocked shots. Pat Lyons (6-6) and Bruce Falkner (6-7) also return after seeing limited action in 1987-88. Lyons played in 17 games and scored 3.1 points per game. A guard/forward, Lyons averaged just under eight minutes a contest. Falkner saw duty in 12 games and played just under four minutes an outing. Two new players join the frontcourt, with one being able to play both the big guard and small forward spots. Tim Powers (6-9) will see action at both forward and center. The Omaha, Neb., freshman averaged 15 points, 13 rebounds and six assists per night at Gross High School. Broderick Parker (6-4) joins the Mountaineers after averaging 20.5 points and 13 rebounds at Northeast High School in North Little Rock, Ark. Parker, a freshman guard/for­ ward, was named Naismith, Arkansas Player-of-the-Year last season. Two other newcomers to the ASU program are Will Blackwell (6-9) and Tim Smart (6-1). Both are nonscholarship players in 1988-89. Both sophomores, Smart is playing his first season of college basketball, with Blackwell in his second year after playing one season at RandolphMacon. "I think Ronnie Christian will have an effective senior year for us. Ben Miller has a good all-around game and is a big key for us defensively. He is gaining maturity each time out and he was our team's most valuable player last season. We hope Sam Gib­ son will carry some of the momentum from his play during the stretch run of the last season into this year. He im­ proved dramatically over the course of his first season with us." "Jimmy Stewart will play a key role for us due to his versatility. Pat Lyons can contribute offensively for us and we have to get him in a position where he can help us that way, but it is important for him to improve defen­ sively. Bruce Falkner gives us some added size on the roster, but he has work to find a contributing role for us." * £ h r LHE ^ h*pin« fjid forme 5-1 1 BefoTj .a; »as 0# goals TV team 1 I0io take cocr Team teams P »ho g°f Ted Pe3 1 det ApF, Tournament Most Valuable Player Kim Johnson See CLASSIC Page 13 Mountaineers face a competitive season 1988-89 Outlook **£ j < ? Champions decided By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports Editor The Department of Recreation, Intramurals, and Club Sports wrapped up play in men's and women's flag football play in late November. The undefeated NIKES swept the men's division while the Phi Mutilators won women's. The winner of women's flag foot­ ball was decided on November 17. Only four of the 14 participating teams advanced to the tournament. The Phi Mutilators, who finished the season 7-1, matched up against the 6-2 team The Dog Got Excited. The Phi Mutilators played well both offensively and defensively, keeping DGE in poor field position during the entire game. The Phi Mutilators led 7-0 at the half after the team scored on an endzone pass. The Dog Got Excited made an at­ tempt to tie the game up in the early minutes of the second half, but they were stopped on fourth and goal. The Phi Mutilators scored two more touchdowns to make the final score of the game 21-0. The captain of the Dog Got Excited was Selina Sells, while Tina Sullivan served as the Phi Mutilators' captain.

Cunningham's offense was not com­ plete over the weekend, but her defense and ability to body up against bigger opponents played a vital role in ASU's victories. The junior members of the Lady Apps are going to play a crucial role in the success of this year's team also. Glenda Cunningham, a transfer from Peace college, will be a force in the paint. Bringing in a career average of 26.6 and 13 rebounds per game. "Glenda is a proven scorer. She is not afraid to get out, mix it up, and play defense. She handles the ball pretty well, and is an excellent passer. She throws the ball out of the paint with authority," Robinson said. The Lady Mountaineers' victory in the Appalachian Sheraton Classic was by no means a foregone conclusion. The Lady Hatters of Stetson tested the Lady Apps throughout the cham­ pionship game. ASU's first game against South Carolina State was a completely dif­ ferent style of basketball than the one played on Saturday. South Carolina State allowed the Lady Apps to run the fastbreak at will. "We've never had a team here that ran better than we did last night,"Robinson said. "Our 13 players ran like thoroughbreds." Nancy Nichols, head coach of Stet­ son, decided to slow the game down and run a consistent, plodding of­ fense. made small runs at the Lady Moun­ taineers that reduced the lead into single digits.

"Stetson had a good game plan. After last night, they decided to slow us down. We are pleased that we could find another way to win," Robinson said.

For the first time this century, a Republican has been elected to the office of Lieutenant Governor, and unfortunately, North Carolina voters have unknowingly made a grave error in the selection of Jim Gardner. Although this man may be extremely capable, the Democratic Senate majority will not allow him to assume his duties. According to the November 26 issue of The Charlotte Observer, Senate members have taken it upon themselves to change the rules and methods of appointing committee chairs. Because the Democrats con­ trol 37 of the 50 Senate seats, they have decided to structure our Senate like the U.S. Senate. This would enable the Senate majority to choose committee chairmen; a power usually granted to the Lieutenant Gover­ nor. Now, Gardner's powers have been limited to reflect the North Carolina State Constitution which says that the Lieutenant Governor presides over the Senate. Through the ' generosity" of the democratic majority, Gardner will also be able to cast tie-breaking votes. Regardless of political persuasion, such restructuring of our state government should not be allowed to take place. The people of North Carolina elected Gardner for a purpose. Obviously, it was felt that Gardner was the most qualified candidate for the position. The duties of this office should not be taken out of his hands by such a biased group of individuals. It is frightening to think that our "democracy" has permitted state legislators to abuse their given powers. There is not telling to what deeree 'Hese individuals may abuse power in the future. SGA : be proud j After studying various problems with the current Noise Ordinance for over two months, senate committees creafed amendments to the ordinance. S.GA President Gary Greene felt that the amendments would be more effective if ordinance problems were studied by a cross section of students and community leaders. A petition was circulated calling for the creation of a committee which could examine the ordinance and any other problems which arise in the future. After hearing the student argument for the committee formation, the Town Council agreed to the proposal. The committee will be formed at the December Town Council meeting. Student Government has really kept up with it's motto to "make a difference!" Congratulations SGA!!! Keep up the good work! 1. When I was about 14, I visited a large metropolitan area blessed with a Macy's. As I left the legendary department store, I held a door open for a woman loaded down with several boxes. As she was passing through the doorway, she told me that she could open doors for herself, and I let that particular door slam in her face. Aside from being one of the biggest enemies of chivalry, this woman was a card-carrying feminist. But I must ask this question: "Was she first and foremost a feminist, or was she first and foremost a rude bitch?"

Our RA declared that all guys are jerks. She has a point, but let me tell you that I think they are simple jerks. If you have been involved with a guy for awhile you will figure that one out for yourself. Many of them are so smart, so vocal and so damn know-itall that you have to let any good idea be his or forget it. They can tell the statistics in minute detail about their favorite athletic team but they cannot remember major details about you. Not to mention the fact that they do not know your favorite color, clothing size or what kind of candy or flowers you like. Sometimes in the blindness of in­ fatuation or love you ignore that im­ portance attached to these little things. It will be the compounding of these minor things that destroy the relationship.

I know an ASU student who hates men. (Actually, she probably hates everybody and everything while focusing this hatred only on men). She reads bad men/good women books, watches bad men/good women TV, writes bad men/good women poetry and leads a bad men/good women life. She calls herself a feminist, but her main prob­ lem seems to be that she can't find a bad man to sleep with her good self. 6. Thousands of "wimmen" (they can't stand men, even as part of the spelling of the name of their group) gather for "Music Festivals" at several locations across the country each year. These festivals are strictly off limits to men. These festivals seem to be a cover for another real event: an affirming symposium on the inherent wickedness of men and the inherent goodness of women.

There's a faction of feminists who do nothing more militant than study the numerous cultural, scien­ tific and literary contributions made by women to society. 8.

It makes me wonder if feminism is a cause without a purpose. Double standards and tunnel vision By Our Student Government Association should be commended on a job well done last Tuesday night. A bill to place condom dispensers in residence halls passed, making ASU the first school in North Carolina to utilize such a system. Because of the growing problem of sexually transmitted diseases, this is one of the most beneficial bills that our senate has ever passed. Other schools in the UNC system will surely follow our example. Senators should be proud that they have created a program which will have such widespread benefits. The presentation of the Noise Ordinance petition to the Boone Town Council will also have monumental effects on students and towns­ people. Feminism is perhaps one of the most distorted and confused "causes" in the world today. The perceptions of what feminism actually is are quite varied—rightfully so because of the potpourri of conflict­ ing ideas and motives of the numerous factions of people who call themselves "feminists." I'd like to begin this little project by listing a few examples of feminists and feminism: classes.

I hear of more couples living together now before marriage. What I do not hear is that the work load at home is being shared equally. The girls end up doing more of the chores such as cooking, cleaning and laun­ dry. There are even girls here in the residence hall who regularly do the laundry for their boyfriends.

Who changed H'Appy's name By MARK L. BURKEY Appalachian Columnist God. 1 have so much to say, and really not enough times in my life to deal with it all. But, I will try. I am generally a "Conservative Republican," but the primary dif­ ference is that 1 believe in true freedom for all, which some "Republican" policies seem to go against. 1 am for abortion, SDI (if it can be proven that the money put toward it will bring the world the safe­ ty it promises), housing for the homeless who want to earn it, massive welfare reform, and economic securi­ ty for the United States. Other views of mine will become prevalent later, I'm sure. In this article 1 would like to focus on some, not all (I could write a book on this if given the chance) of the outrageous ways in which we, the students of Appalachian Stale, are taken advantage of. I would like to start with the recent proposition to rename H'Appy's. On the front page of The Ap­ palachian a while go, there was an ar­ ticle dealing with this subject. It doesn't really say much, but uses a lot of words. However, this is not the fault of Russel Johnson, the writer, but the fault of who he interviewed, the administration of this college. Many people are quoted in the arti­ cle, and what the renaming of H'Ap­ py's has to do with any of them, I don't know. Randy Kelly, David Robertson, Dr. Mclntire, John Thomas and Lane Newsome are discussed, but 1 would like to narrow this down. Who is really in charge of this change? Or of anything? The biggest point about this whole affair is this: The renaming of H'Ap­ py's isn't such a big deal in itself, but is shows a lot of the true colors of this campus' administration. First of all, why rename it? I like the name; it identifies with the college. The alumni like it. Everybody likes it. Why change it? Just another silly waste of everyone's time and effort. I think that changes should be considered logically before they are im­ plemented, but obviously, logic doesn't rule in Boone. My theory is that this is just a plot to make the students think they have some choice in what goes on around here. But, whoever initiated this plot is an idiot to think that it will work. We are students here, intellectuals. Idiots shouldn't be here, or be fooled by this fiasco. David Robertson, director of student programs said that the name change of H'Appy's was completely made by the students, and that the change (like so may other decisions) could have been made over the summer, with no student input at all. But, they instead threw us a bone and let us make this decision for ourselves (W-O-W!). Even if such a simple decision like this was totally left up to the students, I may have had some tiny bit of respect for the administration But, alas, even this decision had to be manipulated and controlled by the ad­ ministration. A vote was made, through a ballot in this newspaper. But, and I could understand, it was declared to be a small sample, and was thrown out. (Hmmm, wonder how it came out?).Then a vote was taken of the people who really count, the people who attend H'Appy's. that vote was thrown out. The vote count there? No one will ever know. Yet another vote, and that one was thrown out. (Do I count three votes?) Finally, on the fourth vote, it was counted. Why? Because it showed what was wanted all the time. It showed that the students truly (truly?) wanted ,,,v the name to be changed, and by a huge margin of 62 percent for the change. How do vou figure?

I don't agree with what he did. But, lest my friends think I ve jumped ship, let me state that I have no problem with sharing the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Note I said the Gospel. This term not only means the truth, it also stands for good news. For me the events that occurred a few weeks ago did not bring forth any good news, at least not directly from the one causing the controversy. The type of so-called 'preaching,' which demonstrated more condemnation, does very little to effectively let others see their need to examine their relationship with God, or even find a lack thereof. Peo­ ple need to see a demonstration of the love of God in His people first before they ever will believe in Christ's act of love for them. As I think about this, I am remind­ ed of a song by Amy Grant on her latest album which asks, "What About Love?" In it she sings, "I looked into the mirror / Proud as I could be / And I saw my pointing finger / Pointing back at me." This makes me stop and ask myself why someone goes to such extremes to at­ tempt to share his faith. Could it be because I'm too busy living my own life that I forget to help others know the peace of the Lord that He's give me? And so some feel like they have to reach a great multitude to pick up my slack. Many Christians may say that witnessing to strangers is unnecessary, that we should just witness to people we know. Well the sad fact is that we (myself included) rarely do that! Which brings me back to the possible reason why some go to such extremes. For those of us who call ourselves Christians, let us examine how much we let our light shine and stop com­ plaining of those who have some misguided zeal. But, in doing this, be sure your life is a witness before you testify of it. They are to different things, you know. On the other side of the coin, for those who were just plain offended by the whole matter of what happened and reason that these people are the reason why you won't consider Chris­ tianity, there are some matters to think over before you make such a quick judgment. I'll be the first to agree that actions such as Brother Jim's point out the hypocrisy of the people in the church. Sure there are hpocrites in the church. They are everywhere. I think there are quite a few hypocrites at school, but that doesn't stop me from being a student. This makes me want to be a better stu­ dent! So I challenge those are are ready to throw out the baby with the bath water when it comes to examining a faith in Jesus: instead of doing this, find out what it's really like to be a Christian. Take the time to seek out and talk to those who claim to repre­ sent Him, visit a few churches, read and study the Bible to see what it real­ ly says. Once you find out what a true definition of Biblical Christianity is, live it out and see that God can and does relate to a person on the living level of his life.

Attempts to g costs of education by :>n textbooks is false li Ice trying to solve the s \ federal budget deficit by cutting Senate salaries. The Textbook Rental Fee ($53 per semester next year) will buy maybe one textbook per semester per stu­ dent. We must use the rental books over and over again for the rental plan to "pay out." Last spring, several students showed me their textbooks, books in the sixth semester of use. Even without the anatomical original art­ work, the books were in bad shape. Mr. Andrews is correct - this is "high school." The parent of a student complained that her daughter had to purchase $120 worth of paperbacks this semester. Paperbacks are legal substitues for inappropriate and/or outdated textbooks. Faculty members are serious in their search for the best texts Assignment of paperbacks is the predicted faculty response to the constraints imposed by a rental plan. To summarize: books are the cur­ rency of a good education. And, since textbook costs are a small frac­ tion of the total costs of an educa­ tion, it is myopic to demean the educational process by economizing here. If Appalachian State is to con­ tinue using a Textbook Rental Plan, I suggest the following form of con­ sumer protection: WARNING: TO SAVE STUDENTS' MONEY, THIS UNIVERSITY USES A TEXT­ BOOK RENTAL PLAN WHICH CAUSES INJURY TO YOUR EDUCATION. BE PREPARED TO STUDY FROM INAPPROPRIATE, DETERIORATED TEXTS AND TO PURCHASE A SIGNIFICANT QUANTITY OF PAPERBACKS. This warning, prominently displays on each rental textbook and in the University Bulletin, might dispel the predominant (and false) perception among students that the rental plan is somehow a free lunch.

Things were really hap­ pening on campus recently. We have seen the most colossal case of con­ demnation that I've ever seen. It's bad enough I live in the same home town as the Strouds, but Brother Jim took the cake. I didn't realize that one man could be so judgmental. Nonetheless, this man's rantings have started me thinking. When I look at the Strouds, Brother Jim and other fatalistic-minded theocrats, I understand why so many people are turned off bv Christianity. Some Christians, even though they may have what they believe to be good intentions, have a problem of getting so caught up in the "don'ts" of Christianty that they lose sight of the most important point of Chris­ tianity. There is such a thing as getting so caught up in our own spirituality that we forget aboutthe Spirit behind it all. You know the symptoms I'm talking about.. .examples similar to "Hey, I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't dance, I don't wear jeans, I don't wear my hair long and I don't read books or listen to records. You can tell I'm saved!" Some people, like the Strouds, get so caught up in the "don'ts" that they begin to see it as the only thing to the message, and before too long, those don'ts grow and multiply until any material thing becomes an object of evil. The problem with this is that issues begin ruling the people's lives. These people become so wrapped up in their wardrobes, or the length of their hair or the genre of music they listen to, that anyone who strays from such a puritanical standard is doomed to Hell. The point I'm trying to make is why they are so wrapped up in worry over sin that they forget that Love is the main point of God they're trying to serve. If a puritanical standard is what they are trying to attain, then fine. But that's not going to be what gets them into heaven. And they're spending so much time judging others to their standards that others are go­ ing to hell because these puritans aren't taking enough time to explain the purpose of Jesus. It makes it dif­ ficult when they expect people to be "sinless" in order to accept God's grace. When I received Christ into my heart, I found that I could get the burden of sin off of my hands. If the grace of Jesus is the way to clear my soul, then why do I have to get so proper and sinless in order to deserve Here's my solution for the women who hate men and don't want to br.eathe the same air (this is an eman­ cipation for all the evils women have been pouting about): 1. Give them a large state (any state will do, except Florida, which is too phallic) and fence it in. Put guards on the outside of the fence. 2. Let in all the women who want in. Let them form their own alter­ native government, form their own prejudices, operate their own businesses, make their own babies (?), drive themselves (and each other) crazy. 3. Permit defections back into the real world. Yes, that is a very rash suggestion, in response to some very rash and half-baked statements I've heard from feminists. Yes, that's a satirical suggestion. Like the zillions of other minority groups/special interest groups, feminists defeat their own purposes. The leaders of the feminist movement (is this a misnomer...has it gone anywhere?) have no foresight, they lack common sense and practicality. There is no unity among feminists. It almost seems as if there are so many splinter/specialized special interest groups among feminists that they 0f us' "'s that obsessed with oj!j doi)'t J Hlm' 11 's that % change to J"3' ** do> changed ^?' <£ VolWsface leads'a** and loving ' N not going f°BtS wrapped up in the V ln Hlm we re GIVE THE GIFT OF GOLD!

It's much more practical to put the horse in front of the wagon than the other way around. I think it's time to get away from all the ritual, denominations, race, clothing, judgment and all of the con­ fusing clutter and concentrate on the whole point of Christianity. What is the point?

Write essays about how men's clothing epitomizes the evil fascist nature of men. 9. Bitch that the world is a bad place because it is controlled by men. 10.

ASU, Wake tie in last game of year By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports Editor Last Saturday, Appalachian State ended the 1988 football season with one of the most exciting games of the season. The Mountaineers tied Wake Forest Deacons 34-34 in Wake's Groves Stadium. Over 21,000 specataors were on hand for the event in cold and rainy conditions. The tie presented a stalemate position for both teams as Wake failed to capture a bid to the Independence Bowl in Louisiana and the Apps were stopped short of the Division I-AA playoffs this season. Both teams end­ ed the year with a mark of 6-4-1. The Deacs scored first after Appalachian was forced to punt on the opening posses­ sion. WFU quarterback pitched to Williams for a 10-yard scamper into the ASU endzone to put the Deacs on the scoreboard 7-0 over the Mountaineers with 9:03 remaining in the first quarter. Appalachian struck back on their next possession, though, when the Moun­ taineers' QB Bobby Fuller hit Kevin Arm­ strong on a 47-yard catch-and-run up the Field. With the score 7-6, Bjorn Nittmo came into attempt the PAT. The kick was blocked by Wake's Mitchell and with 6:50 left in the first quarter Appalachian trailed 7-6. The scoring resumed in the early minutes of the second quarter when Elkins again pit­ ched to Williams for another Wake Forest touchdown from the three-yard line. Hoyle made the PAT and the Deacons led 14-6. The momentum of the game then turned in favor of the Apps on their next posses­ sions as Fuller capped off an 80-yard drive with a 21-yard pass to Ritchie Melchor. With the score of 14-12, the Mountaineers elected to go for the two-point conversion. Fuller's pass to Joe Briggs was good and the ASU ties Wake Forest in last game of the regular season. Apps tied the game at 14. After a fumble by ASU the Wake Forest team scored on a nine-yard pass to Proehl in the endzone. Hoyle made the extra point to put the Deacons ahead 21-14 with 3:27 left in the first half. The ASU team moved closer with a 20-vard field goal by Nittmo with 1:28 in the University buys Lowe's By PAULA DICKINSON Storage space will be one of the principal uses of the building, Hallman says.

Criteria for nomination and acceptance included academic achievement, communi­ ty service, extracurricular leadership, and success potential. Students are selected from more than 1,400 institutions of higher learning in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several foreign countries. "Each school is awarded a certain number of spaces based on total enroll­ ment. Ours is 60," Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Barbara Daye said. Four students tied, which gave ASU 63 representatives in the 1989 direc­ tory. "Each school which participates in Who's Who is able to establish its own selection process," Daye said. "At ASU we invite people from throughout the campus community to participate in the nominating process." Students are able to nominate themselves. "(We allow self-nomination) so we can get a good amount of input," Daye said. "We're trying to make this a broad nominating process," she added. Thirty electors, who represent a crosssection of faculty, administration, students, and staff, select the students who will be nominated to the national organization. "We don't have a little committee that selects 60 students," Daye said. There will be a recognition program on University Honors Day during which students will receive their Who's Who cer­ tificates. This program will take place in the spring. "I wish we could have more than 60 (allowed inclusions) because 1 believe we have more than 60 deserving students on this campus," Daye said. The following ASU students will be in­ cluded in the 1989 directory: Joyce Renee Adams; Robin Renee Ballew; James Frederick Beaver; Joby Ray Bell; Terri Elizabeth Blackmon; Robert Bruce Burns; Frank Hays Callis, III; Kimberly Dawn Canipe; Charlie Julius Carden, Jr.; Glenn Edward Cook; Patricia Cunningham; Kerry Shawn Dagenhardt; Randy Alan Dailey; Christopher Ryan Dovel; Danielle Renee Drapeau; Deirdre Dwinell; Amy Elizabeth Ensey; Christopher Maurice Evans; Tonya Dawn Evans; William Christopher Frey; Noel Marie Gaillard; Mary Elizabeth Gates; Andrew John Heckel; Catalina HenaoRobledo; Ursula Marie Henninger; Dana "Each school which par­ ticipates in Who's Who is able to establish its own selection process.

'n tbe back corner and A new face at Student Publications By KATRINA WILSON Appalachian Staff Writer For the past three weeks, there has been a new face around Workman Hall. Her name is Mary Ann Sabo and she is the new Coordinator of Student Publications here at ASU. This makes her advisor for The Appalachian and The Rhododen­ dron. She explained, "If an article comes in and they're not sure if it's libelous or not, they'll come to me." What else fills up this woman's busy schedule? "I'm also going to be the advisor for the Society of Col­ legiate Journalists," Sabo said. This is a professional organization, by invitation only, for practicing jour­ nalists. In addition, Sabo will be offering classes, seminars and workshops geared toward journalism, photography, and various other things that go into publication. Another area that Sabo works in are the student publications that are produced through the Department of Student Development. "This would be like the Club Monitor, The Greek Chronicles and the ASU telephone directory," she said. Communications has been an interest for Sabo since high school. In her junior year, there was not a school paper, so she got together with a group of seniors and started one. Sabo expanded her knowledge of the field at the University of Ten­ nessee where she received a BA in communications with concentration in journalism. Through college, she held many editorial positions on The Pacer, the student newspaper, making it to Editor-in-Chief by her senior year. The year of graduation Sabo stayed on and became director of the News Bureau for the Public Relations office. "Anything that went out about the university to television, radio or newspapers came through my office," Sabo said. Sabo was the primary writer and directed some of the interns. In addi­ tion to writing she would also take pictures. Her talents were not only confined to work read just at the University of Tennessee. Sabo had articles for the News Bureau printed in such magazines as USA Today, American School and University, and The Talk­ ing Stick which went to people in residence halls by the American Col­ lege University Housing Offices. Sabo went on to get her Masters Degree in English at Ohio State, teaching classes while she was up there. She remembers, "My second year there, I was involved in a special project. We got this grant from Apple that allowed us to equip three English classrooms with computers, so we taught Freshman Comp on com­ puters." In her new position, Sabo has some interesting ideas for The Appalachian in the area of layout. She comments, "Probably starting next semester you'll be able to pick up The Appalachian and notice some new things." Sabo goes on to say that she would like to see more feedback given to individual writers to make it more of a learning process. "We have a good solid foundation, I'd like to see us build on that." Sabo feels that a strong point in the Talent Searching By MARK LATENDRESSE Appalachian Staff Writer Last Friday evening the A.P.P.S Special Events Council hosted the 1988 Mountaineer Talent Search emceed by Lewis Nixon, an ASU graduate turned professional come­ dian and first place winner in the Mountaineer Talent Search in 1980. A total of nine acts graced the stage at Farthing Auditorium, all of them clearly indicating a trememdous amount of talent at this university. First place winners "Marshall and Vaughn" expressed surprise at being named the top act in the contest and winning the first prize purse of $200. Robby Vaughn, a member of the Men's Glee Club, Chamber Singers, and the University singers, performed one of his own compositions entitled "It's Going to Rain," as well as demonstrating an excellent command of the mandolin and guitar. Billy Marshall Helms, a music industry ma­ jor, showed likewise proficiency in his ability to play the banjo and the guitar. This act performed a set of four songs including "Can't Stop Now," "Tiger by the Tail" and "Someone Like Me." These two students have been performing together since last spring and are ten­ tatively scheduled to open for Tim Settimi on December 2 for the Club Candlelight Series in the Pub. Both members of the Appalachian Chorale, these two showmen will be playing every Saturday night at Rascals on Beach Mountain. Second place went to Travis Cottrell, a resident of Boone who played piano and sang "Moses," a contem­ porary Christian composition by Ken Medena. Majoring in Church Music, Cottrell demonstrated strong stage presence, excellent singing ability and wonderful talent for playing the piano. Second place prize was $100. Third place went to Phillip B. Smith who peformed the song "Any Love" off Luther Vandross's release In Your Love. This junior from Winston-Salem majoring in com­ munications has been in the last two variety shows at ASU and exhibited a comfortable ease in being on stage. Either Smith had some hidden com­ mand over the crowd, or three quarters of the audience were friends and family because they went wild during his performance. Strolling around the stage, Smith introduced his piece with a two minute exhorta­ tion of the hazards of love. A strong voice enhanced Smith's talent for entertaining the audience. The judges were hard pressed to make a decision and kept Emcee/comedian Lewis Nixon on the stage some fifteen minutes while mak­ ing their choices. Representing the students were Celia Johnson, Karen Smith, and Ann Anderson; all members of the A.P.P.S Special Events Council. The faculty was represented by the coordinator of Stu­ dent Publications, Mary Ann Sabo, and the coordinator of the Upward Appolochlon Photo by Trey Horack New Student Publication Director Mary Ann Sabo and The Appalachian staff member Kayla DuFour work on layout techniques. paper is the opinion's page. She says, "I think Mark has done a great job as far as generating people who want to pick up the paper every time it comes out." She sees the commentary page as a form for an exchange of informa­ tion, debate, ideas and activities. "Any opinion is welcome to the opinion's page, especially if you can back up your opinion." Free time is scarce in the life of this new staff member, but Sabo likes to squeeze in a game of racquetball every now and then. Reading is another interest of Sabo's. "Being an English major, 1 think that's sort of an occupational hazard." Such authors as John Irving, Walker Percy, and Tom Robbins grace the bookshelves of this avid reader. Sabo encourages students who would like to work on either The Appalachian or The Rhododendron to give her a call at Workman. This applies to the approximately 700 com­ munications majors or if you just have some free time and like to write. Fiction spotlight on Mona's life Bound Learning Assistance Program, Wesley Waugh. All five judges were impressed with the talent represented by the acts and wished that everyone could have placed. Jean Hord also deserves special recognition as the lady who pulled it all together. Coordinator of the Mountaineer Talent Search, Hord acted as liaison between the per­ formers and the technical experts at Farthing. As the advisor of the A.P.P.S Special Events Council, Hord looks forward to this one week out of the year and helps the students as much as possible with advice on material, style and presentation. All nine acts were well rehearsed and provided an exciting evening of entertainment. Emcee Lewis Nixon provided light banter between the acts and highlighted the show with a slide presentation of the acts while the judges were making their decision. Nixon calls Boone home although he performs on a national level. He will be performing at the Punch Line in Charlotte over the Thanksgiving holdiays and can be seen there Tues­ day through Sunday, opening for Rich Hall on Wednesday through Saturday. If his banter during the talent show is any indication of his ability as a stand-up comedian, then his show is definitely worth catching. By BILL BALDWIN Appalachian Columnist Mona's crib was in the kitchen. She shook the bars, stamped her feet and wailed angrily as she watched her family. "You've got to change that baby's diaper," Wilbur told his wife as she poured orange juice over the corn flakes in the bowls on the table. The Grimes family was out of milk again. "Ise kin only do one thang at a time, Wilbur." That was true. Wilma sewed waistbands on men's under­ wear forty hours a week, and the women who had to work with her often wondered if Wilma could walk and breathe at the same time. Jakey had wandered too close to Mona's cage and her grubby little hand had shot out and grabbed one of his sweaty hands, and Mona had sunk her razor-sharp teeth into his thumb. Jakey shrieked in pain and Mona snarled at him and gave him an evil look just before she burst into tears. "Jakey, Isa told ya million times not to torment yer sister." Wilma spanked him twice and he began to wail. Wilma leaned over and hoisted Mona from the crib. "Did mean big brother bother ya agin? Ise tried ta tell ya how awful men are. 1 just can't wait till ya kin defend yerself." Mona drooled and cooed. "Wilma, change that Goddamn diaper. 1 can smell that foul thing plumb over here." "Will ya stop complainin' fer jest one minute, Wilbur? Ise gotta be at work in a hour. They kin change the diaper at the day care place." Lazy bitch, thought Wilbur as his wife lumbered off to the bathroom. If I hadden'ta got drunk and knocked up the ugly bitch, I wouldn't have to deal with this shit. He stood up to get some more juice, and almost fell when he forgot to watch his feet and stepped in a present left behind by Jim Dandy, the family mutt. Wilbur grabbed onto the railing of Mona's crib to steady himself, and quick as lightning, Mona clamped her fangs down onto the first knuckle of his lit­ tle finger. Wilbur yanked his hand free and looked at the gurgling monster that was gleefully jumping up and down in front of him. You, he thought, are going to be one helluva bitch. He distracted her with a toy in his left hand while he grabbed her by the nape of the neck with his right. He unceremoniously plopped her down on the floor, and pinned her left arm down and her dangerous mouth shut with his right knee. A Sears catalog happened to be lying on the floor near another one of Jim Dandy's presents, and he used that to incapacitate her right hand. Wilbur wondered why he ' even bothered as he changed the soiled diaper. He felt only mild satisfaction when he intentionally stabbed Mona with a diaper pin. Moving quickly he snatched her up by her sticky hands, and being careful to protect himself from her flailing feet, he dropped her back into her crib. Mona snarled menacingly and Wilbur stuck his toneue out at her. "Wilma," he shouted, "I'm gonna go. I'm dropping Jakey off at school." "Have a good day at work. Honey," Wilma shrieked from her throne. "Isa got diareer agin." Wilbur let the screen door slam shut behind him. He lifted Jakey into the Chevy pick-up and climbed in himself. "Son," he said, "I don't care what your mama tells you, that thing in the kitchen, it ain't your sister. It ain't human. I ain't sure what it is. I don't even know for sure where it came from. I tell you one thing, I'm skeered of it." Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, Wilma was helping Mona improve her accuracy when kicking for the groin. "It hurts 'em bad baby. It hurts 'em. And let me tell you, they deserves it." F££P - HO** R° PICK UP THAT" COTE RBTCV ATTAG£OE&6AE."

Cheers to football The Appalachian State football team gave an outstanding effort against Wake Forest of which all students should be proud. Students who attended were treated to an incredible ballgame. Everyone hates ties, but this 34-34 deadlock couldn't have been sweeter. Not only did ASU outplay the arrogant Deacons, but our crowd was as large and much more vocal than the Wake supporters. Many people will criticize ASU Coach Sparky Woods for not playing for the win. However, a loss after such an outstanding effort could have been devastating to such a young team. Woods' decision didn't get the Mountaineers into the playoffs, but it will no doubt have a positive effect when the 1989 season rolls around. Coach Woods deserves the credit for bringing ASU from near obscurity to national prominence. Appalachian has been lucky to keep Woods, one of the top young coaches in the country, for five years. Because of his great talent, Coach Woods may decide to leave ASU, but hopefully he will be around long enough to bring ASU a national championship. As for Wake Forest, they will never overlook the Mountaineers again. The Deacons will remember that "no bowl, no bowl" chant from the ASU supporters for a long time. Although this game was a heated rivalry, next season should prove to be even more intense. The Mountaineers and Deacons will meet in the first game of the season in 1989, and it will be WAR!!! Futf First the craze was Elvis, and now it has moved to Jesus. Everyone is talk­ ing about him, or at least think they are. Now, I feel compelled to get into the act. -Usaidthat I wouldn't do it, but I try to combat ignorance whenever I find it and feel that I must now. This arti­ cle is both defending Quentin Compson's article, "Jesus Comes to Boone" and refuting Martin Sweet's Letter to the Editor, "Quentin Comp­ son: Just Who Is Your Jesus Christ?" First, 1 would like to say that anyone who takes Compson's article literally is not too bright in the first place. It is humorous, well-written, and tells a lot about "Christians" these days. I guess that Mr. Sweet was one of these people Compson was talking about, but he didn't listen to the message. So, I will spell it out for all of you people who thought badly of this article. Jesus definitely would drink a fermented beverage. I'm quite sure that he did every day of his life. He even made wine once. The water was very bad back in these times, and instead of drinking water, they drank wine as often as possible. So, I do not think that Jesus should be expected not to drink other fermented beverages, such as beer. What kosher pretzels and a Samaritan woman have to do with each other, I will never know. This is, IN BoomE Christ doesn't "know all things," as Mr. Sweet sug­ gests. If so, he would have been born preaching ... would not have asked so many questions of the Rab­ bis when he was young, First, we must consider the origina­ tion of our Bible as we know it. The New Testament was first written down over 110 years after Christ died, by people who had obviously never known him. Then, it was translated from various languages into Latin by St. Jerome around 400 AD. Then, parts of it were kept, revised, rewrit­ ten and translated by many different monasteries and churches. Then, dur­ CWe UNTIL ON EL uwvensrry however, a trivial point, as Mr. Sweet points out. For the rest of the article, Mr. Sweet relies totally on his Sunday School teachings to refute Compson's article. Now, we are all college students here, aren't we? Mr. Sweet relies on the Bible, as too many peo­ ple do (Remember Brother Jim, and Reverend Strode?). These people are obviously idiots, who take everything word for word out of the Bible. But Mr. Compson, The Last Temptation of Christ and I all have other religious sources that are more credible, proven, and authentic than the Bible to rely on. JOO S6NT A NWl,...

OF PoFMiCYroHS THfen FKorVWterit, ing King James' reign, he ordered the different books edited again, translated and put into one book. Many things were changed, left out and burned. So, the Bible that we have today has as little resemblance to God's word as a science fiction novel. None of the people who wrote it were there, or even saw Jesus. Plus, with all of the translation and editing, it just can't be reasonably called "The word of God." One of these other sources of infor­ mation is the collection of Gnostic Gospels. These seem to be left out of most discussions, though. This is because these gospels go against what a lot of "Christian" people think. I have nothing against these people, and actually envy them in some respect but I must give the facts as I see them. The Gnostic gospels are 52 more gospels that were written about the same time as the four gospels that are in the Bible, but were not discovered until 1955. They were not in the Bible originally, because priests hid them, wishing to change what people believed about Jesus and Christianity. These gospels depict a somewhat different Jesus Christ than the other gospels. And, why was Jesus so hung up on Mary Magdalene? Because, he spent most of his time with her, and she was his closest com­ panion. Jesus was often seen kissing her on the lips in public, and perhaps this and other references are the sources for the fantasy scene in The Last Temptation of Christ. Mr. Sweet /Ny um/j HELU>!

C. was it really that big a deal? I Jnk so, because the plant should not TakL" school have to die because of my ignorance to not give it the light it needed. You see, 1 gave the plant plenty of light from the room, but that wasn't enough. This plant, as most, needed the light of the sun. Keeping the plant on my bed stand where the outside light wouldn't get to it seemed to have done it in for good. The indoor ar­ tificial light didn't kill it immediately, but it's life slowly faded over time. How simple, next time I get a plant that will be something I'll need to remember. Unfortunately though, with most things in life I'll probably have to learn that lesson again. In fact, as I reflected, I realized this was the second time I had learned that lesson already! The first occasion was one lazy summer day, a few years back when I was at church helping out my youth pastor. During that day I noticed the custodian bring the plants back into the sanctuary. I thought I had everything all reasoned out. I jokingly asked him if he took them outside to water them. His reply was, "No, I took them out so they could get a few hours of real light." It took me a cou­ ple of seconds to realize the obvious. Our lights in the sanctuary were not the right kind of light. I'm sure the plants could have probably survived for a time with just that inside light, but they could not truly live very long. So, the fact remains, plants were created to live off of natural light from the sun. I though for a minute about this fact. Then off the top of my head I said to my friend, "Yes, I guess that's the way life is for us as people too. We don't need to live off of the light of the sun though, rather the Son and the true Son of God is Jesus Christ." That day I told him I would have to remember that analogy and use it sometime. I've been thinking more about what I said that day, especially since my plant died and how a higher lesson could be learned from simple truths. Today that truth seems to ring even truer. Plants need not only water, but sunshine too. Any substitutes will not do. For me, I see every day how much I need the light of my Creator. But, MINOR'S PRINTING 115 W. Howard St., Boone there are times when I may try to set­ tle for a substitute. And occasionally, I might even forget that I wasn't just created for this life. But after a solemn reflection I begin to remember that morals were not set to keep me from emjoying life, rather to protectme from the harm of a life without absolutes. There's a saying, (I don't recall the source) that goes something like this, "Everyone has a God shaped void that can only be filled by God." Sadly though, it's too easy in the world that we live in to not pause long enough to consider the spiritual side of life. This is not some kind of a pious religious experience, but a relationship with God Himself, Jesus Christ. And it often comes from a heart who is will­ ing to look beyond the sometimes misrepresentation of well meaning religious people around us. So, the next time you water a plant remember it needs the sunlight too, and that we as pe( >ple need the light of the Son. Don t settle for any substitutes! lament, and a lot of things hansed from the Old to the New. So, «vbe Jesus does like to kick back ! 3 catch a buzz every once in a i ,hlle, who knows? : | have already covered why Jesus i |d ^ verv disappointed in what 1 1written in the Bible. Compson rtsat no fault at all in this statement. j6lis' actions, words, and prophecies „( now merely very vague references, misquotes and self-serving propagan- da for the writers of various time periods who edited the Bible. Jesus' taste in food is no big deal, but still, if I or any reasonable human had the choice between a burger and tofu, we know the choice. Christ might have said, "All food is clean," but he never said that all food was good. Who would call that stuff "food" anyway? Christ had common sense, at least give him that! Playing darts for money was pretty silly, and was one flaw of the writing that can't be defended. But, as I said earlier, this was intended to be taken as a work of fiction. If Jesus was on Earth to observe what is going on, he would not go to a church and teach. And, I don't know of a time when a pastor has given up the pulpit to someone they do not know. And, after seeing the church service, he would be so confused, that he would wonder if the people really wanted to hear what he had to say. And, I don't think they would. Hardheaded? Non-hearing? Well, if Mr. Sweet is the type of person Compson was talking about, I agree. Many people I know who are Chris­ tians are not described by these words, but a good number are. If the Christ that some people are waiting for ever comes, good for you. But I don't think that Christ changes to fit people's expectations and editing, people's expectations must fit Christ. Who is he? I don't know. But if he comes, I hope that he straightens us all out, including me, and Mr. Comp­ son, but especially people like Mr. Sweet.

During the assembly, several per­ sons made statements on their own beliefs. "| think it was good to hear students make statements about their beliefs," Daye said. According to Director of Public Safety and Security Roy Tugman, the assembly caused no major problems. "1 think there was a lot of vocalism, but no major problems," he said. J ugman said he had three security officers on hand for the two-day assembly. According to an autobiographical pamphlet, "The Jim Gilles Story—From Running With the Devil to Walking with Jesus," Gilles had a rebellious youth where he was involv­ ed in drugs, sex and rock and roll music. "God told me to use David Lee Roth's (Van Halen's lead singer) own words against him to ex­ pose Roth a liar and to prove God true. While Roth screamed 'Running With the Devil' / cried un­ to God." Reverend James Gilles "One day I found out 'oh my drug dealer is a Ho-Mo-Sexual.' Like most big drug dealers he was a queer," he stated. According to Gilles, he lived this lifestyle until God saved him at a Van Halen concert on Novembr 7, 1980. "God told me to use David Lee Roth's (Van Halen's lead singer) own words against him to expose Roth as a liar and to prove God true," he stated. "While Roth screamed 'Run­ ning With the Devil' I cried unto God." "While anxiously awaiting for the end of that concert, God showed me there was demonic power that was empowering the members of the group," he stated. "That power was filtering through the group over and onto the whole crowd of 13,000 people," he added. During the ASU assembly, Gilles said women who wear bluejeans are "whores," men who wear bluejeans are "whoremongers" and most bluejean designers are "Ho-Mo-Sexuals." He also denounced ASU teaching. "This university is twisting your mind," he said. Gilles added the psychology depart­ ment was the worst because it teaches you to be a "masturbator." In Tuesday's assembly, three dogs walked into the area he was preaching. "1 wouldn't let my dog run loose on this campus, one of you students might rape him," he said. Tuesday night, Gilles appeared on WASU's Crosstalk, a radio talkshow. During the program, Gilles said the following were going to Hell: the Morrtians, Catholics, Jesse Jackson, Buddhists, Hindus, Moslems, homo­ sexuals, rock music fans, rock music artists, people with long hair, people who wear bluejeans and Donny and Marie Osmond. According to Tugman, an assembly such as the one on Sanford Mall is unusual, but usually happens every few years. Colleges receiving less money (CPS)—States are spending 12.4 percent more on their public colleges than two years ago, but colleges are getting a lesser share of their state budgets, a new accounting of state funding has found. The Center for Higher Education at Illinois State University found in its new report issued in late October that state legislatures gave a total of $36.2 billion to public colleges in 1988-89. But the figures represent a smaller financial commitment to campuses, according to Rich Novak of the American Association of State Col­ leges and Universities in Washington, D.C. "In 1980-81 higher education represented 9.2 percent of state budgets," Novak said. "In 1987-88, states spent 8.1 percent of their budgets to support higher education," he added. Novak said even some seemingly prosperous states have cut their cam­ pus funding. "There is a disparity in spending among the states. Some are okay economically, but there are recent notable exceptions," Novak said. According to Novak, New York, California and Massachusetts have strong economies but their support of higher education "has leveled off or declined in the last couple of years." New York students, for example, may have a slightly harder time get­ ting financial aid, since state aid declined one percent, the Center for Higher Education's study showed. In general, though, states increased student aid by an average of 20 per­ cent since the 1985-86 school year. New Jersey, Kentucky and Florida led the states increasing student aid with 30, 40 and 49 pecent increases, respectively. Nationwide, states also increased their spending on community colleges by 15 percent, the report found. Student aid and community col­ leges were given better funding because lawmakers see them as pro­ grams "devised to achieve specific purposes of benefit to both higher education and the state," Director of the Center for Higher Education Ed­ ward Hines said. The Center also found states that spend the most on colleges are slow­ ing down. The 11 states that spent more than $1 billion a year on higher ed- increased their campus budgets by 11 percent, by one percent less than the national average. "It's not a steep angle up, but states do invest significant dollars in public higher education," com­ munication director for the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges Bob Aaron said. The allocations aren't always enough to keep campuses from suf­ fering painful cutbacks when state funding lags. In recent weeks, State University of New York at New Paltz officials an­ nounced state budget problems would force them to cut 14 faculty and sup­ port positions. The cuts are part of even more stringent measures that will affect the entire SUNY system and all New York state social services. Governor Mario Cuomo instituted the cuts rather than raising taxes to make up a state debt caused by major tax cuts in the early 1980s. The final decision on the proposed cuts will be made in March after review by SUNY's trustees, the gover­ nor's office and the legislature. V*'- '***"•> r- JA * -••• • ' JPMl Reverend James Gilles on Sanford Mall Condom dispensers discussed By RUSSELL JOHNSON Appaluchian Staff Writer The Student Government Associa­ tion will vote on a bill that would place condom dispensers in residence halls. The bill, sponsored by the Student Affairs Committee of SGA, will be voted on by the SGA Senate on November 29. The proposed bill would place con­ dom dispensers in both male and female restrooms on the ground floor of all residence halls. If the bill is passed, condom dispensers will be in place by January, 1989, and ASU will become the first university in North Carolina to place condom dispensers in residence halls. According to SGA Senators Jenny Novak and Charles Thornton, con­ cern about sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies prompted the proposed legislation. "It's because of the growing con­ cerns about AIDS and other STD's (sexually transmitted diseases), and condoms are the only way besides abstinence to prevent them," Novak said. Last year the Resident Student Association gathered information from students for ASU's AIDS Task Force. According to Coordinator of Resident Programs Tim Coley, RSA found most students supported plac­ ing condom machines in residence halls. Under the proposed bill, the con­ dom dispenser would take the form of coin operated vending machines. Although the exact means of acquiring the vending machines has not been determined, one condom distributor has made the university an otfer. The distributor would install and maintain the condom machines for 70 percent of the generated teveuue. According to SGA Senator Jenny Novak, the remaining 30 percent would be allocated to Health Services for use in education about sexually transmitted diseases. Director of Health Services Dr. Evan Ashby, would be consulted on the choice of a condom distributor, Dr. Ashby said that he would have some input "to make sure the students don't get ripped off and that they get a good quality product." "And abstinence, 1 don't seem to be able to sell very well." Dr. Evan Ashby Director of Health Services Dr. Ashby also expressed his con­ cern about the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. "I'm terribly concerned about AIDS and although we have not had any on campus so far, there is going to be a time when it becomes something we have to contend with," Ashby said. "The only way you can prevent the transmission of AIDS is by not per­ mitting an unprotected exchange of body fluids. 1 his is needles and abstinence. And abstinence, I don't seem to be able to sell very well. So, this leaves us with the only other thing that gives us any protection at all, the use of a condom," Ashby said. Health Services currently distributes condoms free of charge on the outpatient side of the infirmary, however, Dr. Ashby said he also sup­ ports placing condom machines in residence hails. "Some people are reluctant to come in and ask for them (condoms). There is the embarrassment factor. So, maybe the ability to find them elsewhere at a low price could be helpful," Ashby said. If the proposed legislation is passed by SGA, it must be approved by Vice Chancellor of Student Development Dr. David Mclntire. Although Mdn tire reserved his support for the bill until it has been presented to him for consideration, he expressed his in­ terest in the proposed legislation. "This pt.rticular issue will be a carefully thought out issue. The reason for that is it's a very sensitive one," Mclntire said. "Perceptions that people have of the university are important to the university. It war­ rants careful consideration and I'm going to give it that consideration." "It's a legitimate medical question that the Student Government Senate has raised. It's legitimate in that it's being raised on many campuses across, the country. So, I'm delighted that our students are wrestling with that issue," he added. If the bill is passed by SGA it will become a recommendation for Mclntire's approval. If Mclntire approves the rcommendation he will submit the legislation to Chancellor John Thomas, who will make the final deci­ sion. Long - range construction plans are in progress at ASU BY JENELLE AUTRY Trivette said long range planning is done in two phases. The first phase of According to Vice Chancellor for • the planning is strategic planning. "siness Affairs Ned Trivette, long This aspect deals with such factors as an8e plans for ASU are now becomthe number of students ASU attracts, '"8 a reality. The new College of the number of students the university usiness building is presently under can accommodate and the programs "fraction, and other buildings will future ASU students will be looking soon follow. for as thev select the colleee thev will A p p a l a c h i a n Slaff Writer attend. Based on the estimates given to such questions, the second phase, physical planning, begins. This phase accommodates the estimates of the strategic plan. "We don't just build a new College of Business building and say, 'OK, now we have a building, let's create a Colleee of Business.' The Dhvsical plan responds to the strategic plan," Trivette said. Physical plans are generally geared to a decade. But, according to Trivette, "a concentrated effort on updating our physical plan," has been underway for the past year. The new plan is not geared towards a set number of students. "We are basically saying, 'the strategic plan is saying that by the year 2000 we will be doing these things, so here is a physical plan to ac­ commodate that,'" Trivette said. The first major addition to the campus in this plan is the College of Business building presently under construction. "It (College of Business building) grew out of our strategic planning several years ago when our College of business was experiencing all of this phenomenal growth that it has had. We knew that it was going to outgrow Walker Hall," Trivette said. The new College of Business will house 130,000 square feet of floor space in four stories, compared with Walker Hall's 50,000 square feet. "As a part of the long range plan, that (College of Business building) is the first of the immediate things we will be see happening," Trivette said. The new building is scheduled to be completed in 1990. The next phase of the plan is the ad­ dition to the Owens Field House. "An addition to the field house has been designed and is being reviewed by state agencies that look at all of our building plans. We hope to begin bid­ ding sometime during the winter with construction beginning in the spring, weather permitting," Trivette said. The new addition will be located adjacent to the existing field house and, according to Trivette, will be ap­ proximately the same size. The first floor of the facility will be devoted to sports medicine and the second floor will house office space for the foot­ ball staff. Following the addition to the field house is the construction of a food facility on the west side of the cam­ pus. The new facility is presently be­ ing designed. According to Trivette, plans for the Kitchen weie discussed with the architect and refined on Tuesday. The building will face Tomlinson Park and will concave in design. It will contain several shops including small restaurants, such as a pizza place where students can select from a variety of foods. It will also house what Trivette calls a convenience store. The dining room will overlook the duck pond. "The food facility will be a major addition to the campus in terms of the visual look on the (west side) of cam­ pus. What we are trying to do is sup­ port the student life on the west cam­ pus, so (the students) won't have to commute to the east side of campus for everything," Trivette said. According to Trivette, construction will begin next spring and the building will be finished in the summer of 1990, with a cost of 2.7 million dollars. He added, "As the campus continues to grow and the west side becomes larger, more support facilities will be built on that side of campus." The first parking deck is also in the planning stage. It is proposed to be built between Justice and Gardner/Coltrane halls. -It will be three decks high and will hold 400 cais. Other parking decks will follow . "Flat land space in this valley to ac­ commodate (the parking facilities) is gone. We are now entering a long range plan of developing parking decks," Trivette said. Trivette said after those four pro­ jects, the remaining plans depend on the newly elected legislature. The top request of the 1989-91 legislature by the university is funding for an academic support building that would be located on Rivers Street east of the Industrial Arts building. The building would cover 80,000 square feet and, according to Trivette, "would house the many administrative functions that are scattered throughout the campus that students came to the campus looking for." He listed as examples: administra­ tion, financial aid, and residence life. "Now a visitor to the campus has to seek these places out that are scattered throughout our academic buildings. It would be so great to have these all centrally located with ample parking so if you were a prospective student, you could come right to campus and. find financial aid, housing, admis­ sions and the kind all housed right there. That building will become a reality." Another project being considered is a new student activities building. Trivette said the proposal came from the need to renovate Varsity Gym and make it more of a spectator arena. He added the cost of the renova­ tions would be so great, it would be better to step out and build a newfacility. Several sites west of Kidd Brewer Stadium are being studied. �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y, NOVEMBER 17, 1988 1 1 A inyiR5>Of: THI9 Y€rtR'9 TH€< r0 & MOUMTHlhG€R M£NT T€rfRCH :iS j HH 1 1 v.. jgjgg^ WSmr - TjL fVl # • '"Wit ; J 1 w * &h m & Melea Ann Parkhurst mwm & ' N **" .

ROTC scholarships available By T.R. HOFFMAN Special '<» The Appalachian There are many scholarships to be j won, and numerous other ways to get I money through ROTC. ; Army ROTC offers two kinds of scholarships. There are two year and three year scholarships. They pay for tuition, fees and books, and allow for $100 subsistence per month. For a North Carolina resident these sholarslups are worth approximately $2,400 per year. An out-of-state student could receive close to $6,200 per year. To be eligible for these scholarships the individual must be a U.S. citizen ud be enrolled in a college or univer­ sity offering ROTC. They must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or greater, have an SAT score of at least 850, be between the ages of 18 and 26 and be medically qualified. To apply for an ROTC scholarship, the applicant must fill out an applica­ tion which may be obtained jn the Military Science department in D.D. Dougherty Hall. The applicant is then Jtessed and an appointment is made kit the applicant to appear before a h°ntd. The applicant is then judged ttPon information obtained from the application and the interview. Students not eligible for the scholarships receive $100 a month Wsistence allowance and are eligible * up 10 J140 a month from the Montgomery G.I. Bill. They are also '8'ble to participate in the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP). SMP cadets serve with a Naitonal Guard or Army Reserve unit as an officer. They usually draw an additional $115-$ 140 per drill depend­ ing on their prior military service. What's more, as a member of the N.C. National Guard and a college student you can receive $250 per semester more through the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). The scholarships offered by ROTC are very competitve. This year 15 peo­ ple applied for the three year and 15 applied for the two year, however, only 40 percent of the these applicants received one. With that in mind, let me take time out to honor these peo­ ple. The three year scholarships are ap­ plied for during the freshman year. If won, it would cover the recipients sophomore, junior and senior year and is worth approximately $7,200. This year there was one winner, Jon Caudle. There were seven, two year advanc­ ed designees. These are people who applied for the three year scholarships but got a two year which will cover the junior and senior years. Those recipients are Ben Bargoil, Leigh Cooper, Michael Gibson, Terry Hales, Brian McMulten, Mike Parson and John Runy. The two year scholarships are ap­ plied for as a sophomore and will Internships valuable , BY CHRIS EVERHART Special to The Appalachian c 'h'ng could improve your *s for employment after gradua, 'Would you pursue it?

Many professors receive intern infor­ mation, and they also will be able to let you know what is required for an internship. Another oil-campus source you can use is the Career Planning and Employment Office (CPEO). The CPEO provides internship informa­ tion for almost any major. Other sources, such as the Yellow Pages, Chambers of Commerce in particular cities and employer ads, can also be utilized to make your search more productive. Networking is another way of locating an internship. Let everyone know what your intent is, especially anyone connected with your field of interest. Once you have found and landed that perfect internship, you must strive for excellence. Successful per­ formance in an internship tells a pro­ spective employer you can handle the responsibility of an entry-level posi­ tion.

Have you ever breathed the smoke that curls up from the tip of someone's cigarette? Have you ever breathed the smoke exhaled by smokers? If so, then you have breath­ ed most of the same harmful, cancercausing parts of smoke inhaled by a smoker. As an involuntary smoker—a non-smoker breathing the smoke of others—you are at an increased risk. U.S. Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, said recently, "It is now clear that disease risk due to inhalation of smoke is not limited to the individual who is smoking." The risk of developing disease depends on the amount of tobacco smoke exposure. As an involuntary smoker, you breathe less tobacco smoke than an active smoker because the smoke mixes with the air around you. But an estimate published in a National Academy of Sciences report on involuntary smoking says that about 2,400 lung cancer deaths per year, nearly two percent of the annual lung cancer death toll, may be caused by involuntary smoking. The Surgeon General and the Na­ tional Academy of Sciencs recently examined the evidence surrounding involuntary smoking. Both studies agreed: Exposure to other people's smoke increases the risk of developing lung cancer. Other studies have also proven there are dangers for non-smokers who breathe the smoke from cigarettes. The studies found out that: • The nonsmoking wives of husbands who smoke have a 35 percent increased risk of lung cancer compared to wives of husbands who don't smoke. • In several studies, nonsmokers married to heavy smokers were found to have two to three point five times the risk of lung cancer as those married to nonsmokers. • The smoke in tightly confined spaces such as airplanes is dangerous to nonsmoking passengers and personnel alike. A National Academy of Sciences committee recom­ mended that smoking on airlines be banned. • An American Cancer Society study found that nonsmokers exposed to 20 or more cigarettes a day at home had twice the risk of developing lung cancer. Such studies have focused on peo­ ple who live with smokers; if you live with a smoker, you are at risk of lung cancer. There is also cause for concern in the workplace. Tobacco smoke spreads quickly, and each workday is more than enough time to expose most people within many working en­ vironments. Even if you don't sit next to smokers, the smoky air within the building may be harmful. Lung cancer is not the only hazard that faces involuntary smokers. For instance, the children of smokers have a greater chance for developing cer­ tain illnesses such as: • colds; • bronchitis and pneumonia, especially during the first two years of life; • chronic coughs, especially as children get older; • ear infections; and • reduced lung function. As with adults, the more smoke a child is exposed to, the more that child's risk is increased. Therefore, if it is the smoking parent who handles most of the childcare, the child's chances of developing ailments listed above is greater. And of course the risk is highest if both parents smoke. As we learn more about the harm­ ful effects of involuntary smoking, the public interest in non-smoking rules grows. There has been an in­ creasing amount of new legislation protecting the rights of non-smokers: • Forty-one states and more than 400 municipalities limit or restrict smoking in public places. • Twenty-two states have enacted laws that address smoking in the workplace. • Smoking restrictions have been put into effect in all U.S. Government buildings. • The U.S. Army adopted a new policy banning smoking in Army facilities except in established smoking areas. • A 1986 natonwide survey of 662 private employers show­ ed that 36 percent have policies on employee smoking. Another 21 percent have policies under consideration. Eighty-five per­ cent of the exisjing policies have been introduced within the past five years and 60 per­ cent within the past two years. • Hotels, motels and car ren­ tal agencies continue to set aside more rooms and vehicles for non-smokers. • Some commuter airlines have banned smoking on all flights. Now that you know all that smoke is harmful, what can you do to help fight the problem? • If you smoke, stop. • If others in your household smoke, help them to stop. • Ask to be seated in the non-smoking sections of restaurants and public transportation facilities. • Make certain that your children's schools and childcare situations are smoke-free. • Help negotiate a smokefree work environment. • Ask visitors not to smoke in your home. • Encourage hospitals and clinics to become smoke-free. • Let your legislators know where you stand on nonsmok­ ers' rights issues, and that you will support their efforts to pass laws designed to protect the nonsmokers. • Call your local American Cancer Society and ask how you can become active in the ef­ fort to reduce smoking in your community. Top award at N.C. Theatre Conference ASU Theatre wins award for services By JENI GRAY Special lo (he Appalachian The ASU Theatre received an award last weekend for active par­ ticipation and quality performance at the North Carolina Theatre Con­ ference. The conference was held Fri­ day, November 4 and Saturday, November 5 in Hickory. Appalachian's theatre department won the top award in the college and university division, Director, Dr. Susan Cole said. Four other divisions in the conference were community theatre, professional theatre, theatre for youth and theatre education, K-12. Awards are given by committees in each division, but are not awarded an­ nually, Cole said. The award recognizes service to NCTC and the state, and was given to Appalachian because of the university's active leadership over the past several years. "Part of our philosophy is that we should be as involved in theatre as we can—in the state, region and nation," Cole said. Cole was chairman of the college and university division between 1985-87, and is currently the con­ ference treasurer. Dr. Frank Mohler, and associate professor and technical director for the theatre, is vice chair of the university division. Other faculty members have served with the conference since it was formed in 1970. Awards have been given since 1985. The University Theatre has also been active in the Southeastern Theatre Conference. Mohler is in his second term as secretary and will be the organization's next president­ elect. Cole is the vice chair of the con­ ference. She has also been active with the state department of public instruc­ tion, helping to implement the Basic Education Plan in theatre arts into public schools. She has served on a variety of state and NCTC commit­ tees. There are 45 students majoring in theatre, Cole said, and many more non-majors participate in theatre. The University Theatre averages three main-stage shows each season, a din­ ner theatre production, six to ten oneact Nays written by students and one to two children's theatre productions. The theatre also sponsors various per­ formances during the year, such as two one-man shows that will be done at ASU this year. The student organization Alpha Psi Omega also does a production. Cole is the na­ tional vice president of Alpha Psi The ASU Theatre won an award in the North Carolina Theatre Conference which was held Friday, November 4 and Saturday, November 5 in Hickory.

It's ugly and it's growing. And America wants more. Doug Cunningham's article on witless talkshow hosts in Tuesday's edition of The Appalachian pointed out some of the perpetrators of Trash TV. Oprah, Geraldo and company are concerned only with ratings and trying to come up with even more weird topics than their competitors, such as "Midget Wrestlers Who Got the AIDS Virus From Their Dog: Their story and their lives, a personal glimpse." 'IB mm ' • 11 11 i •iii f« i 1 I .1 •i| i Ilii l IV| 111' But who makes rating groups? Obviously people who are willing to spend an entire afternoon and/or night engrossed in this mindless dribble. Soap operas, mini-series and courtroom drama shows are reaching into America's deepest, darkest, most tasteless hearts and grabbing whatever they can find in an effort to see how far they can go. The producers and creators of these shows are only partially to blame. Geraldo Rivera's show on Satanism drew millions of people to their TV sets, to watch baby sacrifices, blood drinking and devil worshipi Society is the other half to blame There must be a market for this type of sensational programming. The audience doesn't care how gross, how biased, or how explicit a show is, as long as it shows EVERYTHING. They don't want to hear about how a woman was killed in a wood-chipping machine; they want to see it. Geraldo and shows like HBO's "The Hitchhiker," are more than willing to provide it. In TVland's basement are a small group of umemployed people called "Standards and Prac­ tices." These people used to careful ly watch what went into a show. That's right, the same people who made Lucy and Desi (on "I Love Lucy") sleep in separate beds. They did change with the times when the; allowed Mike and Carol to sleep in the same bed. But, now these peo­ ple are no longer needed in an anything-gross-let's-show-somesadism-and-see-what-happens TVIand. Americans have always been fascinated with the strange and bizarre, but now they've progressed (regressed?) to the sick and the stupid. Programs like "Divorce Court" publicly air actural divorce cases with actors and actresses (cause it's just not the same when you can't see 'em.) Each case must involve one or more of the following: ex­ tramarital affairs (with explicit details and photos,) child abuse (with explicit details and photos,) a sexually transmitted disease (no photos needed with this one,) or kinky sex requests (with extra photos and demonstrations.) ASU struts its talent By MARK LATENDRESSE Appalachian Staff Writer The A.P.P.S Special Event Council will be hosting the 1988 Talent Search contest this Friday evening in Far­ thing Auditorium. Ten different acts will be competing for a 1st prize of $200, a 2nd prize of $100, and a third prize of $50. Jean Hord, coordinator of the show, has promised a great show. There were 35 applications for the show. "The largest pool of talent that we've had to choose from.. .with all this talent I could easily put on three shows but we've had to trim down to 10 acts for this one show," Hord said. "This year the competition is the toughest I've seen, usually there are three or four acts that rise to the top early in rehearsals.. .this year all the acts are great and I'm glad that I'm not a judge," she added. I observed the rehearsal Monday evening and had a chance to chat with some of the acts. All the performers seemed excited about Friday night and apprehensive about the contest, however, friendships made during the auditions and subsequent rehearsals have helped to ease the competition jitters. Sarella Kilpatrick, a senior major­ ing in music education, will sing two blues/jazz pieces accompanied on the piano by Brent Hubbell (a music ma­ jor focusing on theory and composi­ tion). Both pieces are show tunes, one from "Showboat" entitled "Can't Love Dat Man" and a number from "Porky and Bess." Pianist Melea Parkhurst will play a composition by Dino Kartsonakis en­ titled "My Tribute." She is a freshman who has been playing for over four years and is seeking a degree in music industry. Another student, Lori Grose, started singing at the age of five and has been singing ever since. She chose Tanya Tucker's "If It Don't Come Easy" and Glenn Sullivan's "You Can't Make Somebody Love You" for her singing debut. "The largest pool of talent that we've had to choose from.. ." "I'm really excited. I expect a great show," she said. She is a junior ma­ joring in public relations. Majoring in church music, Travis Cottrell, a resident of Boone, will be playing the piano and singing "Moses," a contemporary Christian composition by Ken Medena. Composer Stephen Schmotzer will be playing two of his original com­ positions; "In Quiet Grave" and "Highest Mountain." He is a freshman who plans on majoring in marketing and has been writing for over five years. Dolly Whitworth, a senior major­ ing in sociology will sing a gospel call­ ed "When I See Jesus." Whitworth has been singing for over 20 years with her church and is one of the lead vocals in ASU's Black Student Association Gospel Choir. "Class Act", a group of eight students, will also be performing with two numbers, both of them gospel in­ spiration, called "Give Us This Day" and "Loving You" by Jonathan Butler. All of the members of this act belong to the BSA Gospel Choir. Vocals will be performed by Willie Allen Jr., Gregory Person, Gary Blaylock, Shanda Sturdivant and Shelia Sturdivant. David Lawson will play the drums, Terrell Pollock will be on the keyboards and Samuel T. Gibson will be playing the saxophone. Cliff Poole, a senior in criminal justice minoring in theatre will be singing two numbers from "A Chorus Line" with a monologue on acting in between the numbers. Phillip B. Smith will be sing the titletrack off Luther Vandross's latest release called "In Your Love." This junior, majoring in communications, has participated in the last two talent Search contests. The last group to perform will be Robby Vaughn and Billy Helms, bill­ ed as "Marshall and Vaughn", these two talented individuals will be singin' and pickin' some good ol bluegrass music. Louis Nixon will emcee. He is an ASU graduate who is now a profes­ sional comedian on the national cir­ cuit. Nixon was the first place winner in the very first Mountaineer Talent Search held back in 1980. He is ex­ tremely excited about returning to ASU for this special annual event. Tickets go on sale Wednesday and will be available at the Student Union ticket booth Wednesday from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m., Thursday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and Friday from 12 p.m. - 2 p.m. Tickets are $1 in advance and $2 at the door.

Caught in a vicious cycle, Trash TV satisfies the viewers who bring in more ratings, which satisfies the producers.

The band has grown a great deal in all directions and Bono points out their reason for making the film was to capture the essence of the band where it is right now. The rowdy, anthem band of the past has matured into an entity that can call on all the emotions and still relay its message. Rattle and Hum puts America under a magnifying glass and exposes all of its best and worst qualities. Who could see these qualities better than someone from the outside look­ ing in? U2 is attempting to carefully open the eyes of a new generation. Their movie travels into Harlem where the band performs "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," with a black gospel choir in their tiny church. This sequence of scenes is bittersweet because while it shows the overwhelming musical talent and spirit that flows in America, it also shows the extreme poverty and inequality that still exist. U2 expose another side of themselves. In the film they are more than musicians or superstars, they are human beings. Certain parts of the film reveal the scruffy, wide-eyed kids from Ireland who stand in awe of America. The movie contains some revealing footage of the band at Elivs' home, Graceland, in Memphis, Ten­ nessee. Bono charms the little tour guide into letting drummer, Larry Mullen Jr., pose for a picture on the King's Harley. While in Memphis, the band also steps into the famous Sun Studio where they record three new songs for the soundtrack with Cowboy Jack Clement. track (I refuse to call it a song) is as weak as anything Berry/Buck/Mills/ Stipe have ever released. "Hairshirt" is the song in which Mikey calls himself a dog and sings about desire (I hope Bono's not mad). The waves of conversation are enough to knock you down? Please, someone explain this. The song is a bowlful of salad, uh, slash that... it's a soulful ballad. Suitably strange with bizarre but not uninteresting lyrics.,.. I sup­ pose this is actually fairly decent, as much as I'd like to say it isn't. Michael uses the next song "I Remember California" as an excuse to rhyme wolverines, submarines and tangerines. If anybody can think of another reason for this song (aside from the fact that it's fun to listen to), then please let me know. I'd also like to know what a golden smile is. Let me buy a beer for that bass player (what's his name?). My compact disc has another song, unlisted on the packaging and unti­ tled. I don'l know if it's included on the album or the cassette (actually, I don't care if it's included on the album or the cassette). If this song has a purpose (again, aside from being fun to listen to) I suppose it must be to keep Leigh Moore happy until there's another REM album for her to get excited about and to cause her to have dreams that complicate her life. You won't find any flash or slick Hollywood tricks in this one. The picture is very raw and to the point. U2 was forged from a different fire. The only full color section of the film is the live sequence shot during a show in Sun Devil Stadium. This con­ cert in Tempe, Arizona is perhaps the most powerful part of the whole movie. The band does an explosive, yet seething version of "Bullet The Blue Sky," where Bono pounds the evils of our society. In his monologue he points out, "The God I believe in isn't short of cash, Mister!" All the while, The Edge's everpresent feed­ back squeels into the stratosphere. Rattle and Hum is a triumph for the modest Irishmen, because it is more than a "musical journey," as Larry Mullen Jr. jokingly labeled it, it is a film of awareness. The band makes an open stand against the revolution in their homeland and speaks out against those who are blindly feeding it. They are taking quite a risk, but it seems the band has always done better swimming against the current. There is something inex­ haustibly appealing about the odd quartet. U2 was forged from a dif­ ferent fire. Their music has a purpose that demands attention. Every phrase that Bono sings sounds as if it is being ripped from his very soul as he rides the thunderous wave created by his three mates. To write a play by play for the en­ tire movie would not only be impossi­ ble, but unfair as well. It is something that must be seen. Some will hate it and criticize it, but some will hate everything. One thing that cannot be criticized is the band's sincerity and openess.

NOVEMBER 17, 1988 SPORTS Sabrina Sells Charlotte is buzzing The outstanding play of the new Charlotte Hornet's franchise has people all over the Queen City and the state of North Carolina buzzing. The team has a 1-5 record, only one more loss than the former champion Boston Celtic team. TI How they stack q> Apps vs. DeaconS Posey: Triple threat By MARIE MESAROS HOW THEY STACK UP Appalachian Staff Writer ASU vs WAKE FOREST The ASU men's track team is off to a fabulous start this year with excep­ tional spirit, wittiness and overall fitness. They have come out of the locker rooms with a bang. If they con­ tinue to. put out consistent runners like Warren Posey, the team will be unbeatable. Everyone has heard of the Olym­ pics. Individuals who wish to become an athlete in the Olympics must work many hard and long hours. Warren Posey of ASU exemplified his talent when he made the trials for the Olympic track team. Even though it is far away for most of us, it is quite a reality in Posey's case. He has laid the foundation for what appears to be a glamorous life. He pursued a goal, and gave it his best shot. Posey is still young and plans to try out for the '92 Olympic team. He has the talent, will­ ingness and determination to support our country in a great effort. Rushing Warren Posey's talents are exten­ sive. In the nationals last year, he finished second behind an Arkansas State competitor.

Passing Defense Kicking Turkey Trot is this afternoon Think again. Young or not, Chapman is talented and, with a lit­ tle seasoning, he should prove to be one of the premiere guards in the league. He plays much beyond his years, a quality that owner George Shinn and his staff saw in the young Kentucky undergraduate. Chapman fits the Charlotte mold, something that I believe most of you will agree that former Syracuse center Ron Siekaly does not. All of the Hornets seem to have something to prove, and that quali­ ty links them even closer as a team. They seem to be making a stand early in the life of the franchise and that is just what they need to do. Any realistic fan is not going to expect a championship team out of the Queen City for a while, and most have accepted that they prob­ ably aren't even going to have a winning season. That's OK with me. though. I just like good, hardplayed basketball, and that's what the Hornets are turning out in the early games of the 1988-89 season. So, expect to see some more of those upsets and Hornet surprises the remainder of the season. A little further down the road though, expect to see a team beating their path to the top, having earned a win in the respect column along the wav. COMMENT CATEGORY Intangibles Appalachian might want the Deacons to have some success on the ground in order to pre­ vent a Mike Elkins airshow. ASU's offense must be competitive in the "time of posses­ sion" category in order to win. The Deacs will be led on the ground by tailback Mark Young (589 yards, six TDs) and his back-up Tony Rogers (448 yards, six TDs). Both of these guys are capable of 100-yard games but rarely do so because of the Deacons wide-open offense. Wake does not count on the running game to win so if it is successful, then it will probably be icing on the cake. ASU must have a consistent ground attack and if they don't, there will be no upset. The Apps need big games from Ritchie Melchor, Kevin Armstrong and Tim Sanders. The longer the Appalachian "O" is on the field, the more likely a Mountaineer victory. even Wake quarterback Mike Elkins was selected to the pre season AII-ACC team and has lived up to his billing. This will be ASU's secondary's toughest test to date, even tougher than the one against that guy from South Carolina, Todd What's-his-name. In his last six games, Elkins is 100-for-157 (63.7 percent) for 1,378 yards, with 12 touchdowns and just five interceptions. Look for Elkins to connect with Ricky Proehl and Steve Brown, the Deacs' wingback and split end, respectively. Elkins can't be stopped so the Mountaineers can only hope that they will be able to contain him. Wake must prepare for two quarterbacks because both Bobby Fuller and Lance Redding could see action. The Mountaineers cannot afford to turn the ball over. In order to win, ASU must play their best game of the year of­ fensively. Which Appalachian defense will show up in Winston-Salem? Wake has to be given the edge defensively based on the fact that they held a potent Duke team to 16 points. Defensive backs A.J. Green and Ernie Purnsley are the biggest assets for Bill Dooley's defense. Green is tied for the ACC record for career interceptions with 17. Purnsley leads the team in tackles with 111 and that may be some indication of a weak defensive front. The Apps defense must put pressure on Elkins, one of the most underrated QBs in the nation. If the Mountaineers defense can't come up with some big plays, this one might not be close, but if. . . jqzib I This game will feature Martin Bailey, the best punter in the AC, and Bjorn Nittmo, a kicker who has had some memorable games in Wake's Groves Stadium. Bailey averages a whopping 44.1 yards per punt and is currently ranked fifth in the country in punting average. Wilson Hoyle will serve as the Deacs' placekicker. He's six for nine with his longest field goal coming from 51 yards out. ASU's Nittmo and punter Tony Cox need to end the regular season on a good note. Neither has had the season many anticipated but both are capable of com­ peting with the best at their position. While Wake Forest will be playing for a possible spot in the Independence Bowl, the Mountaineers could be playing their last game with Head Coach Sparky Woods on the sideline. The Deacons are currently one of four teams being considered for the annual con­ test held in Shreveport, Louisiana. Wake felt that they should have been in a bowl game last year, and they are out to prove a point. There'll be no lack of emotion in this one. The Mountaineers have something to prove also. ASU has a chance to prove that they're better tha i their record, and they are also ready to serd a message to the rest of the Southern Conference, showing the others that they are young and they will be bock' EVEN —compiled by Aubrey This weekend's College Football Prognostications SABRINA SELLS The Appalachian Sports Editor ASU at Wake AUBREY HOOVER The Appalachian Asst.

ELLER Appalachian Columnist This year, once again, the people of this land have elected a Congress and a President that are sure to be at odds with each other. In the past, the only thing that has been said about this phenomenon is it shows Americans are more willing than ever to look at the candidates individually and split their tickets accordingly. This might seem to show that the American people are more politically sophisticated than what was previously thought. 1 find this hard to believe considering the number of people I know who actual­ ly believed what the candidates told them. Many of these people even claim to be intelligent. In fact, I have so little faith in the average American's political awareness that 1 begin to think that maybe there is a method to this madness and that we Republicans are falling into a trap that we are helping to build. Yes, I am a Republican. Not the raving kind such as is found on the extreme right, I am a moderate Republican, and frankly, I am gravely disapointed at the massive loss the Republican Party suffered on election day this year. Massive loss? Yes. True, the Republicans managed to retain control of the White House, but all this "victory" did was set them up as a scapegoat for the Democratically controlled Congress. The Democrats actually gained seats in the House and Senate. It is a rare occurrence for the party that loses the Presidential race to pick up seats in Congress. The Democrats not only gained seats, they gained so many in the House that they will probably gain a V) majority there in 1990. The party out o^ the White House nearly always gains seats in mid-term elections, and the Democrats need to gain only eighteen seats to have a Vs majority. They could also pick up enougu Senate seats to have a near stranglehold on that body as well. The Vi majority is important because it would allow the Democrats to override any Presidential veto in the House. The House, remember, is the chamber that controls the budget. In fact, the Democrats would almost be able to dictate domestic policy. This would be disastrous for the Republicans as long as they hold the White House because the President tends to get the blame for everything that goes wrong. We have seen an example of this during the election when the Democrats tried to lay the blame for the deficit solely on Presi­ dent Reagan. Though the President did little or nothing to inhibit the ram­ paging growth of spending, he did not cause it. Congress, and in particular, the House, control the budget. If the Democrats were serious about reduc­ ing the deficit, they could have done something about it since they con­ trolled the purse strings. Since spend­ ing skyrocketed anyway, one must question the Democrats' sincerity about cutting the deficit. With a Republican in the White House, the Democrats would have the perfect scapegoat on which to blame their mistakes. Whatever went wrong could be blamed on the President, as College and Life interesting phenomenon Dispensers necessary By WILLIAM C. BALDWIN tedious little game? Of course, there were repercussions.

If (God forbid) yqu have committed yourself to a major in a subject you happen to hate, and have passed The Point Of No Return (if it's too late to change your major), then it's a good idea to pick up a minor in some other subject you are interested in. Not only will these classes give you a break from the other classes that are driving you bananas, a minor can signal to anyone looking at your resume that you are A Person With Varied Interests And Abilities.

Things I never considered do­ ing f6r a living includes digging dit­ ches and tasting dog food. Those careers disqualified, I have the following choices remaining: 1. Become a notorious international thief; 2. Become a character who has long hair and wander the streets of some obscure college town strumming on a plastic ukulele; 3. Become a teacher or professor; 4. Become fabulously wealthy through no real effort—for example, winning a huge McDonald's sweepstakes; 5. Pump gas (I've always wondered if this would be as bad as bagging groceries); 6. Become a columnist for a small but interesting newspaper; 7. Become a shrink. Those are bizarre and fascinating career choices, and I'll probably pur­ sue most of them...in reality, however, I think I'll wind up teaching in a high school or college somewhere and spending my spare time writing for a two-bit newspaper. But I'll pro­ bably still pump my own gas. Having become a relic at this school, I have watched several of my friends graduate and go on to Bigger And Better Things. Based on my observations of them, I feel I should offer this piece of advice: While you're in college, study and prepare for a job in a field you are actually in­ terested in. Employers want to hire people who are enthusiastic about their jobs; they don't search the world over for people who happen to have earned a particular degree but who have no interest in a particular career. Also in the long run, it's better to spend your forty hours a week doing something that you don't hate. Again, employers want people who consider their jobs something more than a forty-hour-a-week grind.

Another, wooe 6 To the Editor; This past weekend 23 other local folks and I journeyed to Washington DC to take part in a walk and rally to support the needs of America's homeless. Most of the Boone group were ASU students. It felt good to join once again with like-minded people in a public display for a worthy cause. But there was an unanticipated bonus to the trip: I became acquainted with the ASU students well enough to discover in them some very fine characteristics. Naturally, their political bent pleased me. The media portrays today's students as driven toward a degree that will secure for them a well-paying job. Yet, here are students who find it important to take time from their studies and work schedules, as well as their own money, to help a portion of American society worse off than they. What pleased me even more was to discover the strength of character of these students. 1 saw them look­ ing out for each other's needs, and the needs of the other participants. They were thoughtful, unselfish, responsible and worked cooperative­ ly to resolve various adverse situa­ tions that arose and endured discom­ fort without complaint. My friends at ASU—faculty, staff, and students—have on numerous occasions bemoaned the shallow fiber, partying orientiation and lack of seriousness toward their studies of the ASU student body at large. It warms my heart to have met some of the exceptions. I have also listened to adults despair for the future of our coun­ try, in the face of poor student preparation in our schools and of the I'm-going-to-get-rich orientation of today's college graduates. 1 am at ease now on those fears, for I know a core of students with solid integri­ ty are preparing themselves to seriously confront national pro* blems. I'm glad they're liberals. For the sake of our national well being, I only hope the conservatives are fin­ ding themselves blessed with students of as high caliber. Helen P. Keber PO BOX 200 Todd, NC.28684 �10 THE APPALACHIAN. THURSDA Y. NOVEMBER 17. 19X8 Quentin Compson: Just l o the Editor: call was a "colossal joke." On to the eighth paragraph, Compson appoints William O'Flaherty and Rick Rairdon as Jesus' "most visible represen­ tatives." I myself don't know these aforementioned individuals but I have met others who represent the Jesus of the Bible. I must admit they have left me with a most positive impression. Are William and Rick the only "representatives" of Jesus? As I read further into the next paragraph, Jesus wants a telephone answering machine for his "dad." A question that arises in my mind is what would Joseph do with one of those? My next question of the following paragraph is why is this Jesus of Compson's article so hung up on Mary Magdelene? The Bible depicts Jesus as having driven seven demons out of her but never lusting for her as Compson's story would seem to imply. Reading into the eleventh paragraph of Compson's story, it states that they had had too much to drink. Now if this means that Jesus had consumed an intoxicating amount of alcohol, it would con­ tradict the Biblical idea of Holiness (Lev. 19:2, 1 Thes. 4:7) and selfcontrol (2 Ptr. 1:6). After this, the article goes on into a very interesting part. Jesus is reading the Bible and is disappointed about what is written. What was written however was written by those who knew Jesus and followed him. They saw and heard first hand what Jesus had done and said. In Compson's article Jesus is "visibly upset" at what his disciples had written. Is Compson's Jesus saying that the writers of the Gospels were liars, or is he saying that Jesus really didn't say these words of life and perform these miracles? The story reads on. Dinner time of the second day shows Jesus' disgust for sprouts which is listed on a menu. He replies "must we eat these things?" Jesus then goes on to show his approval for "greasy American hamburgers" by saying "this is more like it." The Jesus Christ I know declares that all foods are clean (Mrk. 7:19, 1 Tim. 4:4) and reaffirms this to the apostle Peter (Acts 10:9-16). I would imagine from Biblical information that Jesus would simply give thanks for whatever he received and simply enjoy it. is your Jesus Christ ? w In the same hamburger paragraph, Jesus possibly spent his time winning money from some youths playing a game of darts. The Jesus of the Bible however wasn't one to spend his time building up for himself treasures on Earth. Treasures that a thief could come and steal. This could prove to be contradictory from a Biblical point of view. The Sunday church services seemed rather odd for Compson's Jesus. I would imagine this Jesus just sitting in the congregation as I read this event. The Bible, however, states that Jesus would go into the synagogues on the Sabbath (Sunday) and teach the people as-was his custom (Matt. 13:54, Lk. 4:16). If Jesus were to visit a church on Sun­ day, or any day, I would imagine he would get up and teach. After all, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8). After the church service, Comp­ son's Jesus seems to be dismayed at "those people" who were Chris­ tians. "Those people" included peo­ ple who are feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, clothing the naked, and caring for the sick just to name a few. Many of "those people" are following Jesus' exam­ ple of love. Why is Compson's Jesus dismayed at this? Maybe "those people" aren't perfect, but they are forgiven. Now, reading on into the dialogue between Compson and his Jesus, one might concur that Compson ha* lumped all churches and all Chris­ tians into one bag with a few hard­ This letter is in response to the article which appeared in the Com­ mentary section on Nov. 3, entitled "'Jesus Christ comes to Boone" by Quentin Compson. After first reading the Editor's Note, I set myself to read this letter with an unbiased state of mind. After having read the article, 1 ask is this Jesus Christ that is depicted in Mr. Compson's letter the same Jesus Christ of the Christian religion? Using the Bible as a reference, I have compared Compson's depiction of Jesus Christ to that of the Bible. I must add that the authors of the Gospels did actually walk, talk, eat and live with Jesus during his time on Earth. As the story opens, Jesus visits Compson at his apartment. Comp­ son offers this hungered Jesus some pretzels and fermented beverage (Molsons). Whether Jesus would An drink a fermented beverage or not Attraction does not worry me, but the idea that You Won't Jesus Christ would worry about pretzels being kosher or not, is really Want trivial. After all, he did sit and talk To Miss! with a Samaritan woman. Now, we move on to Jesus Christ's opinion of the movie The Bar B Q 4 Seafood Barn Last Temptation of Christ, that by a Biblical point of view, totally =SHADRACK'S= slaughtered and slandered who Jesus RIB PICKIN'SHINDIG Christ really was and is. Compson's 5:30-9 PM Jesus states that he "had fantasies Thursday night is Rib Pickin' Night featuring our regular about Mary Magdelene and this menu plus Shadrack's uorld famous Bar-B-Q Ribs and mouth watering Boiled Shrimp. movie was so accurate." As the Bible tells me, Jesus knew no sin 1/2 Price ,uch as lust of the heart (Matt. 5:28, In. 8:46, 2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15, Shadrack says "If you ain't been to one of 7:26). These scriptures were written my Rib Pickin' Shindigs, you ain't lived yet!!" by people who knew Jesus Christ. ^SUNDAY LUNCHEON BUFFET= I he fling Jesus had for Mary 11:30 AM-2 PM Magdelene doesn't coincide with the After church join us for lunch In addition to our regular Bar-B-Q andSeafood items.

Mashed Potatoes and a choice of taste-tempting f Christ goes, the whole movie Desserts served in a casual family atmosphere with a program of recorded easy listening music cv local guest entertainers. doesn't coincide with the depiction that Christ's disciples gave. 1/2 Price As the story continues, Jesus • W Price inclu Buffet Din wonders in bewilderment why the Boone, N.C. • Hwy. 321 Behind Peddler Steakhouse "frat guys" and "people in tye dies Phone:(704)264-1737 and pony tails" didn't know who he was. The Bible however states that Christ "knows all things" (Jn. 16:30). The idea of Compson's Jesus gnorance is contradictory of the Biblical Jesus. In fact, Jesus knew that people did not know him, as in (expires f»-31 -89) lolm 8:19. Jesus then wonders what all this "herb stuff" is (presumably marijuana). The Bible states however that all things were created through him (Col. 1:16). I would magine this would mean that Jesus would know what was meant by "herb." Next comes Compson's revealing ro Jesus that his attire (Birkenstocks and flowing linen robe) associates him with hippies or something. The i Bible depicts Christ as unconcerned about fitting into social clicks. When he prayed for his disciples in John 17:14, Jesus said "for they are not of the world any more than I am of 236 East King Street • Boone NC the world." Why does this Jesus in Compson's depiction worry about ocial classification? The article proceeds to the announcement that Jesus was again here on Earth. Compson informs 2 Eggs, Hash Browns With Every Dozen local "appropriate officials" that Bagel or Bread and Coffee Bagels Purchased Jesus was in Boone. Supposedly they did not know. By the statement Monday-Friday til 11 30 AM Receive given by Christ in Matthew 26:64 and Luke 21:27, we would all know when Christ came back. It would be hard not to know it happened. Any "appropriate official" who founds n^v>' his or her belief on the Bible prob­ or ably would think Compson's phone core dogmatic people and labeled them all as hard headed, nonhearing, infallible people. If this assump­ tion is so, it is a depressing and inaccurate labeling. From my own experience with the church and Christians, I know this is not the fact. In the last sentence of the same paragraph, I find Compson's com­ ment about these people's level of intelligence is very unChrist-like and uncalled for. But who am I to cast the first stone? Now, after an overall comparison of Compson's article on Jesus and the Biblical view of Jesus, I have found quite a few contradictions.

The purpose of having an instructor is to supplement informa­ tion in a textbook and bring it up to date. This is the reason for his salary. A teacher who teaches direct­ ly from a book is not fulfilling his function. Mr. Millsaps also didn't address the issue of students who decide to drop a course. They would also be saddled with new textbooks. Does the purchase of new books really raise the academic level of the school? If so, why don't high schools require students to purchase textbooks? It would be a simple way to raise academic standards. A school may have the most modern textbooks in the country, but without a good teacher, what do you have? Scott Andrews ASU Box 7438 Continued from Page 9 Republicans, in my opinion, are not the candidates, but the people run­ ning the campaigns. In the Democratic Party, the brightest peo­ ple seem to run for office. Republicans are not really like the Democrats portray us. Unfortunate­ ly, the candidates we run, for some reason, are. It almost seems to be the reverse situation that the Democrats have with their Presidential can­ didates. In 4 of the last 6 elections, the Democratic candidate for President has not been representative of the majority of Democrats. Specifically, they have been much further to the left than the party as a whole. In the Republican Party, the House and Senate candidates seem to be much further to the right. I do not know what has caused this phenomenon, but we must do something about it. The Republicans have allowed right wing radicals, such as the Religious Right, to gain too much control of local politics. This is similar to the way ultra left wing liberals have seemingly gained control of the national process of the Democrats (maybe this is linked to the conservative bent to gaining control from the inside out, and the liberal bent to change things rapidly through revolution). We need to let the people know that only a small percentage of Republicans are way out on the right. Most of the Republicans that I know or have been associated with, (and there have been many) believe in equal rights, conserving the environ­ ment, and the freedoms of speech, religion and the press. In other words, most Republicans are still part of the party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt. But we have allowed our party to drift away from us under the influence of the far right. No, I do not think that the Democratic Party now represents the ideals I hold dear. I do not believe that they are more in tune with what we "Old Fashioned" Republicans believe, for we do not hold to the ideas of a huge govern­ ment that taxes those who work to support those who refuse to. We also do not believe in trying to hide prob­ lems like racism and sexism through hollow legislation that simply forces these problems "underground" where their roots can never be exposed and destroyed, and we most certainly do not believe in destroying our creativity with the shackles of regulation, nor giving the people a false sense of economic security by using the narcotics of trade tariffs! I think that if the Republican Party would just return to its roots and direct attention to the local elections, that the people of this country would flock to it in droves. To me, it makes more sense to provide people with jobs (the Republican way), than to provide them with government sub­ sidized unemployment checks from the heavy taxes that put people out of work in the first place (the Democratic way). It is also obvious, or so I would think, that the freedoms of the Con­ stitution can best be upheld by a small realistic government than by a gigan­ tic, bloated, overly idealistic monster. The Constitution was designed to pro­ tect us from the government, and it is easier to fend off the machinations of a small government than those of an enormous one. Yes, the Democrats have had control of Congress for too long, and it is our fault, fellow Republicans. It is high time we get our act together, and our politics.

The contest was the last con­ ference bout of the season for the Apps and drops their record to 4-3 in the Southern Conference and 6-4 overall. ASU will take on the Wake Forest Deacons next Saturday in Winston-Salem, but the chance for a Mountaineer bid to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs is slim. The Mocs struck first with a field goal by Dennis Waters with 8:20 remaining in the first quarter to put the Apps down 3-0 early. The momentum continued for the Mocs early in the second quarter as they went ahead 10-0 after a one-yard run by Andre Lockhart with 14:09 remaining in the first half. The Apps fought back hard and strong and before halftime, the Mountaineers add­ ed three touchdowns to the scoreboard to lead the game 21-10 at the horn. Scores for ASU came on a 10-yard pass to Sam Wesley from Bobby Fuller, a 28-yard pass to Rit­ chie Melchor from Fuller, and a 51-yard breakaway run by Melchor. Bjorn Nittmo made all three PATs. The third quarter momentum again shifted in favor of the Moccasins, though, and the Apps could not regain any offensive momentum for the remainder of the game. The Mocs added 11 more points in the third quarter as Vince Carelli connected with Kelvin Philpot on a 12-yard pass and the two-point conversion. Waters added a field goal from 52 yards early in the quarter. The Apps remained scoreless in the third plagued by interceptions and a tough UTC defensive line. At the end of the third quarter the score was knotted at 21-21. The fourth quarter proved to be the deciding factor of the game. ASU scored first in the quarter with a 37-yard Nittmo field goal with 14:14 to go in the contest. After exchanging punts, the Mocs at­ tempted to tie the game up at 24 with a 40-yard Water field goal, but the kick was wide right. On the next UTC drive, though, consistent running and good passing by Carelli produced a Mocs' touchdown when Carelli fumbled on the ASU one-yard line and Darryl Streeter recovered the ball in the endzone. After the PAT, ASU trailed in the game 28-24 with 3:30 remaining. On the Apps' next series, Fuller could not connect with his receivers, but instead was intercepted by Marlon Riggins with less than three minutes in the game. UTC took over at their own 47-yard line and worked the clock with their ground game. The game ended in favor of the Mocs 28-24, when the final horn sounded. The game statistics were close and in most categories, no edge could be given to either team. The difference in the game came down to the number of turnovers by the Mountaineers. Three Fuller interceptions was a key in the UTC victory. UTC gained 436 total yards while ASU amassed 288. The yards per play were almost even, though with the Mountaineers gaining 5.4 yards and the Moccassins gain­ ing 5.3 yards per play. ASU's last battle of the 1988 season will be against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons ^^ next Saturday. The Deacons will be playing L in the Independence Bowl in Alabama in ... postseason play. The Apps only chance for Football Quarterback Lance Redding started his second game as a Mountaineer a play-off bid will be if they can upset the Saturday after a successful outing against Western Carolina. Appalachian lost ACC's Wake Forest team. 'heir final Southern Conference game at UT-Chattanooga 28-24. ASU alcohol and drug survey results released By JON JIMISON Appalachian News Editor The average ASU student consumes be­ tween six and seven alcoholic drinks a week, according to an alcohol and drug use survey conducted by the University Committee For a Drug Free Campus. The committee, made up of faculty, staff and students, response rate was 14.8 percent for a total of 1,522 surveys returned. Survey results were tabulated by the Office of Stu­ dent Development. The survey found that more students use alcohol than any other controlled substance (87.6 percent). Other substances used most were marijuana (44.3 percent), am­ phetamines (17.2 percent), mushrooms (15.4 percent) and cocaine (13.8 percent). According to Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Development Barbara Daye, the survey results will be used in a positive way. "We want this information to be used in a beneficial way. A survey is one way to identify a problem," Daye said. The study found that most students con­ sume alcohol for sociability (77.6 percent). Other reasons given for alcohol use were en­ joyment of taste (75 percent), to relieve fatigue or tension (58.5 percent), to get drunk (57.6 percent) and to escape from disappointments (37.4 percent). Reason given for using drugs other than alcohol were to get high (30.3 percent), sociability (25.7 percent), to relieve fatigue or tension (19.9 percent), boredom (14.5 percent) and to escape from disappoint­ ments (14.4 percent). Most students consume alcohol for social reasons, because they enjoy the taste, or to relieve tension. Of the students who use alcohol, it was found most consumption was at a friend's place (22.4 percent). Other locations of alcohol consumption were in a residence hall (20.1 percent) and at home (18.5 percent). The average survey respondent lost a little over one hour of normal functioning in recovery from alcohol use. It was determin­ ed that 17.3 percent of the respondents had suffered from a hangover, 7.6 percent had suffered from a blackout and 3.7 percent had vomited from drinking too much all in Wide Drive For Designated river/Tipsy Taxi Service hold a campus wide drive for those inin participating in the Designated *p»sy Taxi Service on Thursday, November elb «m Hall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the week before the survey was conducted. percent).

He will return to the Mall today from 1-5 PM to continue to spread his "spiritual message." Campus violence has decreased this year, according to Captain Paul Isaacs of ASU security. He said only four assaults have been reported this year, all taking place on cam­ pus in residence halls. Most incidents in­ volved RAs who were attacked after asking visitors to leave the dorm. All other incidents reported this year have been boyfriend/girlfriend assaults, one in which a girl was kidnapped from her dorm and numerously beaten for a number of days, but not sexually abused. There have also been a few incidents of fist fights between two males and one in­ volving two females. In many cases, the attacker has not been caught. One male student reported being hit in the mouth outside Gardner dorm. The at­ tacker was never found. Isaacs said the suspects are often non-students, making them more difficult to identify. According to Isaacs, there have been no reports of females being attacked on cam­ pus. There was one possible assault, but the girl was reluctant to talk to Security about it. He said the girl supposedly was grabbed and thrown down in Sanford Mall, but the only information so far has been from her RD. A new foot patrolman was hired this year to walk campus from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tues­ day through Saturday. It is hoped his presence will reduce campus assaults. Another move by security was to install emergency "blue light" telephones at various locations on campus. There is a total of 10 telephones. They are located out­ side Wey Hall, outside Whitener Hall, at the Rankin tunnel, Sanford Mall, behind D.D. Dougherty library, outside Hoey Hall, at the Greenwood parking lot, at the Edgewood parking lot and at the State Farm freshman parking lot. According to Isaacs, there will also be an emergency phone installed at the south lot' sometime in the near future. Isaacs urges students to use the Moun­ taineer Escort Service as an alternative to walking alone at night. "We encourage everyone to either walk with someone or use the Escort Service," Isaacs said. 'We don't want any female out walking at night anywhere," he added. �THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDA Y, NOVEMBER 15, 1988 ecruitment offends students Students protest CIA's presence Homeless -ness a problem During the Great Depression, they I ^f»fe cal,ed ^"alters and Okies.

I III (CPS)—Students at the University of New Mexico, Vermont's Middlebury College and Colorado's Regis College protested against Central In­ telligence Agency (CIA) recruiting on their campuses in recent weeks, but the spy agency said it will continue to interview students from those colleges for jobs. Meanwhile, a Boston University professor said he may have been un­ wittingly used by the CIA to illegally drum up support for the Reagan ad­ ministration's policies in Central America and Afghanistan. The campus protests are just the atest waves of anti-CIA sentiment that have swept colleges in recent years The agency's critics said the CIA has toppled duly-elected govern­ ments in Chile and Guatemala, and promotes terrorism by supporting right-wing rebels in Central America and Africa. In recent years, protests against the agency's activities have unfolded at the universities of Minnesota, Col­ orado, Massachusetts, Iowa Washington, Vermont, North Carolina at Charlotte and CaliforniaLos Angeles, as well as Brown University, Ohio State and the State University of New York at Albany and others. Several colleges, including Col­ orado and Brown, no longer invite the agency to recruit on campus because of the protests, CIA spokeswoman Sharon Basso said. But that doesn't mean the agency is no longer recruiting students at those schools. "Some universities have asked us not to come on campus, but they haven't banned us," Basso said "Our recruiters work with their placement offices. We're still organizing inter­ views" that are conducted offcampus. When the anti-CIA contingent chanted "CIA Gotta Go," CIA sup­ porters sang a chorus of "God Bless America." Basso said the agency may have refused to hire homosexuals in the past because mey were upcn to open ia uctduic they blackmail and posed a secruity risk But the agency now has a written policy forbidding sexual preference descrimination.

But wait, you re thinking, elections were last Tuesday. These upcoming elections are for the Inter-Fraternity Council executive board. file IFC acts as a liason between the individual chapters of fraternities here at ASU. Each fraternity has representatives that meet with other representatives to discuss common problems, questions or issues. This past year's administration at the IFC includes President Neil Linnell (Delta Chi), the late Vice-President Ad­ ministration Todd Issacson (Tau Kap­ pa Epsilon), Vice-President Rush Darrel Davis (Sigma Phi Epsilon), Secretary Scott Adams (Kappa Alpha), and Treasurer John Stuckey (Kappa Alpha). All have been in of­ fice since last November. Linnell has been an IFC represen­ tative for three semesters. He also represented ASU at the South Eastern Inter-Fraternity Council meeting last year. He decided to run for president because he wanted to do what he could to serve the fraternity system. He feels he has gained much from be­ ing involved with IFC, including leadership experience and practical business application. "Anyone can teach leadership theory, but it's a lot different when you put it into practice," Linnell said. He also feels that IFC has ac­ complished a lot in the past year. They have restructured the committee system; they have tried to come up with committees that deal with tangi­ ble objectives instead of just ideals; they have restructured the chapter dues to an even flat rate per brother; they have changed the meeting atten­ dance policy to allow chapters with below a certain number of brothers to be able to send just one represen­ tative; they have restructured their bookkeeping so that they can keep track of where money comes from and where it is being spent. One change that IFC is not directly responsible for, but Linnell is proud of is the fact that the individual fraternities and sororities have become more responsible on campus. Greek unity is important to IFC and they have to plan activities to help promote this. One activity was the Greek Cleanup where the sororities and fraternities attempted to remove paint and grafitti from the campus. "The paint didn't come off as easi­ ly as we had hoped," Linnell said, "But we had around six or seven hun­ dred people participate." After the Greek Cleanup there was an AllGreek mixer. This was the first time in a while that all the Greeks have gotten together for such an event during the fall. There is Greek Week in the Spr­ ing, but this event was something new. Linnell feels this was excellent for the whole Greek community. "1 would like to see more Greek unity. We have a much closer Greek system than a lot of other colleges in the Southeast," he said. Associate Director of Student Development Dino DiBernardi feels IFC has more areas to work on. "IFC in the last year has been working to more equitably serve the needs of each fraternity. I believe the challenge for next year will be to ad­ dress such issues as minimum stan­ dards and expectations which all groups will be expected to fulfill," he said. One important aspect of Greek life is Rush. Neil says that fall's Rush was extremely successful. IFC concen­ trated on educating the prespective rushees prior to Rush beginning. They sent out a letter to freshman males about Greek life at ASU. And a new idea was a Rush kick-off party held in the Pub for the rushees to be able to get a good first look at each fraterni­ tyLinnell would like to see next year's Executive Board continue with more projects like the Greek Cleanup, and more publicity on the ac­ complishments of both IFC and the various chapters. "This year has been a building year for IFC and I'd like to see the new ex­ ecutive committee continue. I think the core is there to be able to deal with a lot of the issues facing the frater­ nities," Linnell said.

"I feel that they've done a really good job at rebuilding not just IFC but the Greek image and the Greek way of life in a very positive direction," Dutnell said. The election of new officers will take place November 28 and nomina tion forms may be picked up in the IFC office of Workman Hall. The forms are due by November 21. Those interested are encouraged to apply. There are many people in various organizations on campus that don't really get much recognition. This holds true for The Appalachian as well. One such person is Assistant News Editor Linnea Martinson. The news desk is plenty busy and * ;«• mm.mm Martinson puts in many long hours during the week writing and editing copy, assigning stories and varifying names and facts. She said she has always wanted to write, but the first time that, she had had any time to write was last semester. She already had experience entering into her posi­ tion as assistant news editor. She edited the Residence Life newsletter, the James Broyhill. Mix ham, softened butter (not melted), mustard, onion, poppy seeds and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl.

Meet the Media By A.S.HARRINGTON from Capitol Cook Book from Senator Editor L Congressman and Mrs. A lex McMillan Italian Cream Cake RSA Today, she wrote for her high school annual, and helped her senior English class edit and establish a poetry magazine. Martinson feels she has gained a lot from her position. "(I've learned) how to work with a lot of different people," she said. She also feels that she has learned manag­ ing skills and above all, patience. One thing in which Martinson has enjoyed most is covering the Board of Trustees meetings. She has been able to see how the Trustee's make plans concerning ASU. "It was also nice to eat in the Chancellor's dining room," she add­ ed. She has also enjoyed the scandulous and controversial news stories. She feels these kinds of news stories make it fun for the reader and more interesting. One negative aspect of the paper for Martinson is the fact that she lets time she spends at the paper takeover her time she could spend doing other things, like class and studying. "1 let the paper take all of my time," Linnea said. "I really don't have much time to do anything else on campus besides the paper. Martinson wishes she had more time to get in­ volved with the Political Science Club or College Republicans. When she does have free time, Mar­ tinson likes to play with her cat, Tawny, and to read. "1 won't pick up a trashy novel," she said. She prefers Steinbeck, Fit­ zgerald, and Hemmingway. Other interest of hers include writing and music. She says she con­ stantly has the radio tuned to WXRC. Her musical favorites include Eric Clapton, the Scorpians, and Prince. She also likes to work out at the Quinn lifting weights and doing aerobics. Martinson is an English major, and would like to pursue a career either as » publisher or a political reporter. Martinson offered some advice for other apsiring news writers. "If you're one of those people who constantly wants to know what's go­ ing on and are always digging into things, you'll love writing news," she said. 1 stick butter Vi cup Crisco 2 cups sugar 5 egg yolks 2 cups flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 cup buttermilk 1 tsp. vanilla 1 Vi cups coconut 1 cup chopped nuts 5 egg whites (stiffly beaten) Combine butter and Crisco.

Billy Jo, defensive tackle for the foot­ ball team. I had the shock of my life when he answered his dorm room door. He was about six foot seven...in diameter. And when he shook my hand, I thought I'd never get it back. So there I was, face-to-knee with the big man on campus, wondering how I was going to relate American Literature to The Hulk. But then he pulled out a can of Orange Cappuccino. 1 was shocked! Could it be that this tough jock liked its delicate taste? And when Bone Crusher brought out the bone china, I was beyond belief Reading the expression on my face, he said,"What can I say? I like it. The Cafe Francais is pretty good, too." Well, who's going to argue, I thought. As we sipped our Orange Cappuccino, I discovered that Billy Jo loves reading novels; his only problem was poetry. So I gave him tips on reading Emily Dickinson, and he gave me a copy of Ann Beattie's "Falling in Place." All I could think was, Dad's never going to believe this!

How about you non-Christians? Have any of you "seen the light" due to an Ap­ palachian article? If anyone has ex­ perienced either of these conver­ sions, please let us know. You non-believers out there need to understand that most Christians are very serious about their beliefs. Christianity involves FAITH, not Reason. It is highly unlikely that anyone can reason them out of their belief. They believe despite proported logical proofs to the con­ trary. I don't care if you carbon date the Pope, or show them the bones of Fred Flinstone! The point is that you will not change their minds. As for you Christians, you do your faith a disservice by trying to convert people with reason. You cannot prove that God exists. You have to have faith. What good would it be to believe in Christ if you could prove that He was God? If it was proven, no one would have the choice not to believe. Philosophers and theologians throughout various ages have of­ fered many "proofs" of God's ex­ istence (ontological proofs, cosmological proofs, teleological proofs, etc.). Yet non-believers still exist. Obviously, proofs are not ef­ fective. Faith is necessary for belief, and you cannot bully people into faith. Any Fundamentalists out there? Whenever someone calls the credibility of the Bible into question, what do you do? You give us a quote from the Bible, the very text that has been called into question! Don't you see how foolish that is? Perhaps an analogy will help. Sup­ pose you and I have this mutual friend named Fred. Fred has just told me something amazing. You tell me, "Don't listen to Fred. Fred's a liar. Everytime he opens his mouth he tells a lie." Then I reply, "Fred is not a liar!" You ask me how I know this and I say, "Because I ask­ ed him and he said he wasn't." Now can you see the stupidity in this kind of logic? You can't prove anything to an athiest by quoting the Bible. You believers and non-believers must try to realize that there are many issues which you will never resolve through reason alone. For example, person A claims, "There must be a first cause for everything. If so, then who created our universe? There must be a God who created it." Person B says, "If everything, as you say, must have a first cause then who created God?" Person A replies, "Well, God has always existed." Person B then says, "That contradicts your theory of first causes. Furthermore, if I can conceive of God needing no cause then I can also conceive of the universe needing no cause." People have been wrestling with this paradox for a very long time. I doubt that it will be solved in the pages of The Appalachian by an athiest or a Christian. A defense against cancer can be cooked up in your kitchen. Everyone needs to try to under­ stand that both sides feel that what they are doing is right. The secularists and athiests see a religious heritage that spawned the Crusades, the Inquisition, mass murder and subjugation. More recently, exploita­ tion by TV evangelists, and the use of Christianity as justification for bigotry and sexism, to name a few. Surely even a devout Christian can see that many of these fears are justified. The Christians see you nonbelievers as misguided fools who are on the path to hell. They have been taught to spread the word. They want to save your soul. What could be more selfless than that? So come on, people, let's bury the hatchet. You're beating a dead horse. Let's move on to other im­ portant issues that we might have the power to influence. Steve Heikkila ASU Box 15276 There is evidence that diet and cancer are related.

V AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY Mitch Snyder: setting the record straight clad;!TJ ihe itj I: Editor: i» nue to an abrupt event beyond ^control, I am unable to write the uuel to my last article on the osophical doctrine of human iIhs. An incident happened which ould like to address for the sord. . On Thursday, October 20, Mitch ijjyder, the renowned self-appointed lausader for the homeless, came to lecture on the homeless situation in -Apierica. » In addition to expressing his colittectivist, New Age, quasiIfondamentalist Christian rhetoric, he (inserted that the Federal government Avas doing virtually nothing about Hhehomeless. During the question ltd answer session of the lecture, I cited a report from the Federal Task Force on the Homeless which stated at least 20 federal agencies provided between SI70 and $200 million to the homeless in 1986. Furthermore, I cited an article in the July 1987 issue of Reason magazine which pointed out that between fiscal years 1981 and 1986, federal spending on public lousing had increased from $5.7 I Kit billion to $9.5 billion. If Mitch Snyder has presented evidence against the validity of my statistics, I would have graciously listened and publicly admitted my mistake. But no. When Snyder first heard my statistics, he asked me if I was drunk, an obvious character assassination. When I pressed further and nam­ ed my sources, Snyder then called me a liar and said "don't play the numbers game with me!" After he got the crowd moving with more of his rhetoric, I stormed out in a rage, admittedly a bad move on my part. In the November 1 issue of The Appalachian an editorial column by Eric D. Miller addressed the Snyder lecture. He stated that "there were also people who stood up openly calling the man (Snyder) a liar con­ cerning some of his statistics, waving books in the air with their own set of figures." Obviously, Miller's statement is in reference to me because I was the only one to cite statistics at the lec­ ture. (This was verified to me by others who stayed on after I left.) And yes, Miller is as much guilty of distorting the facts as Snyder is guil­ ty of slanderous comments. I never accused Mitch Snyder of being a liar, nor did I wave my books in the air, nor were there several of me in the audience. Perhaps it's just as well that I stormed out without presenting Snyder my facts. There's no way to argue with a man claiming to be do­ ing God's work. The point I wish to make here is that duplicitous, distor­ tionist, slanderous demagoguery has no place in a forum of civilized, free inquiry and discussion. This certain­ ly applies to Snyder making the slanderous accusation that I am a liar and Miller falsely accusing me of accusing Mitch Snyder of being a liar. Before anyone accuses me of ad­ vocating censorship in this state­ ment, let me finish. The notion underlying all communication is that when someone makes a statement of facts, it is absolutely true. A "true fact" is a tautology or a self-evident statement. A "false fact" is a con­ tradiction in terms and cannot exist. When someone such as Mitch Snyder or Eric D. Miller presents it as a fact that I am a person who tells deliberate falsehoods, all com­ munication breaks down. Therefore, the right to freedom of speech and the press is no defense for libel, slander and distortion simply because these are not communica­ tion but the negation of such. . Those who choose to venture into the realm of intellectual discourse should get their facts straight or get the hell out. And those who use slanderous comments and distortion in getting their point across (Snyder and Miller respectively) should be made to publicly apologize for their gross injustices to their victims (in this case, myself).

The inalienable rights forward­ ed by Ethical Egoism divide the world into two categories: myself and all the others; yet, are there any justifiable factual differences that would allow me to exercise my selfish actions at the expense of others? A racist might feebly at­ tempt to prove so. But what makes one person's rights so special? Being unable to formulate a rational answer, we must conclude that Ethical Egoism, like racism, is an abritrary doctrine—and unacceptably so (Rachels). We do not intend to undercut the human rights of any individual; we are merely suggesting an alternative position to Mr. Human's. We should care about the rights of others because they can be taken away—the very reason we care about attaining our own rights. Others' needs and desires are similar and comparable to our own, and in GOT YOU DOWN? THEN COME JOIN order to "escape the savagery of prehistoric times" (Human, "Human rights are neither divine nor social in origin"), we must not acquiesce to Rand's philosophy, but realize that righfs are a privilege that can be revoked. We also need to strive to ensure that each individual obtain these rights that he/she deserves. This must be the case in order for a peaceful and functional society to "existere" (Latin root of exist). Finally, we feel that a society in which people concern themselves with the welfare of others is a great deal more desirable than a society that revolves itself around selfishness. After all, A is A.

The 130,000 square feet, four-story . ..tiding presently under construction ^ the west side of campus is schedul­ er for completion in January 1990. A framework of steel outlines the shape f the future home of the College of Business beside Chapell Wilson Half Contractors fell behind early in the construction process but, according to Dean of the John A. Walker Business College, Dr. Paul Combs, this is not a serious problem. "Even if he's (the contractor) a month or two late, that still gives us plenty of time in which to inspect the building, look for problems, and ac­ cept it. So, some time in the summer or late spring the college can move in," Combs said. ASU's College of Business began in 1971 and moved into John A. Walker Hall in 1976. Since then, the number of business students has continuously increased. Each year more than 500 students graduate from the College of Business, and at least 3,000 students have indicated interest in the college. The College of Business has grown so rapidly that some faculty offices and business classes are located in other buildings other than John A. Walker Hall. "Generally things are running reasonably smooth. It's been done so many times that the people involved know what is expected of them, and we know what we're looking for." —Bill Winkler Director of the Physical Plant "The college of Business grew so rapidly during those early years that by the time we moved in it was already at capacity," Combs said. "The reason we're getting the new building is because we really need the space." Some faculty members for the Col­ lege of Business have offices in Edwin Duncan Hall, and in one of the university owned houses on Rivers Street. Some business classes are held in Edwin Duncan Hall and Chapell Wilson. The new business building is designed to centralize faculty office space and classrooms in one building. "The College of Business will have enough space for the entire faculty, staff and students to meet under one roof," Director of the Physical Plant Bill Winkler said. The new business building is estimated to cost more than $10 million. However, the funding for the project comes entirely from state ap­ propriations. ASU was granted a capital budget from the state legislature to construct the new building. Tuition costs will not be ef­ fected by the construction project. Powers Construction, a contractor from Florence, S.C. is constructing the new business building. A monthly meeting is held between Powers Con­ struction and representatives of the ASU administration to address any problems with the construciton. "Generally things are running reasonably smooth. It's been done so many times that the people involved know what is expected of them, and we know what we're looking for," Winkler added. Parking situation still being examined By NICOLE PARSONS Appalachian Copy Editor ASU's parking situation has bet ; somewhat improved this semest with the addition of 1,600 new pari ing places. State Farm Field holds 800 parkir places and the lot beside the Broyh : Continuing Education Center hole 800 new parking spaces not previous l available to students. < "We now have surplus parking bi it's now where everyone wants it, Vice Chancellor for Business Affaii Ned Trivette said. j "Last year it became apparei [ something needed to be done to in j prove this situation," Trivette said. There were three motives that stimulated the Board of Trustees and other administrators to examine ASU's on going parking problem more in depth. "First there was a greater increase in enrollment and a higher percentage of students bringing cars to campus," Trivette said. "The second reason was a loss of 250 parking places near north Depot Street and a third thing that moved us was getting involved with our longrange planner who then assessed we had an automobile problem," Trivette added. The Board of Trustees then pro­ ceeded to outline six proposals to help improve parking on campus. The Board voted on these proposals last summer and three of the proposed six have gone into effect as of this semester. In addition to the develop­ ment of more off-campus parking, geographical boundaries and an in­ creased registration fee have been im­ plemented. Geographical boundaries were ex­ tended for those living off campus so those close enough could walk instead of bringing cars on campus. "We pushed boundaries out which has improved parking in eliminating those cars from coming and parking on campus," Trivette said. "Parking for freshmen at State Farm Field has been a positive thing, taking 800 cars away from the cam­ pus," Trivette added. Although many students may not agree with the increased registration fee, especially those who do not have automobiles at school, Trivette said he has not received that much negative feedback condemning the in­ creased fee. The fee was increased to help offset the transportation fee for the APPALcart bus system going to and from campus. "It will also go toward liquidating the indebtedness of a future parking deck," Trivette said. For this year it appears ad­ ministrators will hold off providing any more solutions or proposals to the parking problem, but they will continue to expand plans regarding the parking deck expected to be com­ pleted within the next several years. "Taking into account students, staff and faculty, it (parking) is a much improved situation," Trivette said. "The traffic flow is much better overall and the traffic system is operating much better than last year," Director of Security Roy Tugman said. "All those people who have been trying to cooperate, we appreciate it and thank you," Tugman added. 5 his a familiar sight? It is if you try parking in A i °t above the Stadium. Although the parking proI em at ASU has eased somewhat since the addition of 800 parking spaces on State Farm Road, several spaces are still needed to accommodate the increas­ ing number of commuting students. Until more parking is made available and more proposals are con­ sidered by the Board of Trustees, students are encouraged to extend their concerns. "If students have concerns they can express them to the Security Office in an appropriate manner and SGA is also a good vehicle to funnel their concerns through," Trivette added.

ACE's El-Khawas no longer agrees the number of 18-to-24-year-olds is declining. She believes the age group has hit a "plateau," while more of them are attending college. But more significant, observers said, is the increased number of female older students registering. "Now the average age of college students is 24, 25 years old," Grosso said.

In its annual back-to-school projec­ tions last August, the department predicted some 12,560,000 students would enroll this fall, up slightly from last fall's 12,544,000 students. That's more people than many Countries," Anne Grosso of the Col­ lege Board said. Scores of individual schools already have reported their enrollments have increased — in some cases dramatical­ ly — since last fall. Maryland's 19 community colleges' enrollment grew by seven percent, but some schools report increases much greater than that. Anne Arundel Community College, for example, has 17 percent more students than last tall, while Montgomery College's Germantown campus reported a 20 : percent increase. Families are sort of cutting deal" with their kids, James D. Tschechtelin, director of Maryland's State Board for Community Colleges, ''They're sayin8 to young people Why don't you go for a (relatively inexpensive) community college for two years, and then you pick it." Colleges in Utah, too, are reporting massive enrollment increases. Utah Valley Community College reports a ^32 percent enrollment increase, while Salt Lake Community College has 66 percent more students than last fall. Utah State has 27 percent more ^students, while Snow College counted a 75 percent enrollment increase. Southeast Louisiana, Arizona .State, Northern Kentucky and In­ diana universities, among many others, have reported record high enrollments. Olaf, Grove City, Del Mar and Rhode Island colleges, the universities of Texas-El Paso, Arizona, Penn­ sylvania, South Dakota and Dallas and Mankato State and Northwestern State universities all said they had more students this fall. Not all schools, of course, have in­ creases. The 1 numbers of students enrolled at Harvard and the univer­ sities of Illinois and Tennessee, for ex­ ample, are down. Enrollments also are down at Louisiana State, Cal Bap­ tist College and Christopher Newport College in Virginia. Students seem to be the ones who suffer most when the population rises. "There's no question I'm not as ef­ fective as I could be," University of Texas biology teaching assistant Mick Scioh said of the huge sizes of his class sections. "I can't tell if students understand what I'm presenting because they're afraid to ask ques­ tions in such a large class." Freshmen at Penn have had pro­ blems getting into classes that were already overcrowded before they were allowed to register for them. Students at Rhode Island College Clarion College, North Carolina State and Western Michigan universities and the universities of Miami, Con­ necticut and Texas, to name just a lew, found themselves doubled-andtripled-up in campus housing this fall Campuses are getting overcrowded moreover, just at the time when most demographers predicted college enrollment nationwide would drop precipitously. The reason, they said, was that 'here are fewer 18-year-olds — the people who, of course, traditionally staff freshmen classes — around.

Although I will admit that some of the contestants, including a couple of the winners, reminded me of the Olympic East German swim team. Some of the titanettes were quite becoming as figures of strength. The competition was divided into weight classes from lightweight to middleweight to light-weight. Most of the women competed in the lightweight while only two women competed in the middleweight and two in the light heavyweight. Ten women competed in all for the title of Ms. Mountaineer. Jennifer Haglan took the title home. The event itself proved to be quite entertaining. The facilities at Farthing helped to make the production suc­ cessful. The contestants selected their own soundtrack for their exhibition, and this made for an extreme contrast of music from contestant to contes­ tant. Preparing for the title was not a picnic. The contestant's training was a long, strenuous routine. DeFbie Madeo, the manager of Atlantis Health Club described the long hours of working out and dieting to prepare for the event. She says the com­ petitors have been living on only basic sustenance up to the day of competi­ tion, getting as lean as possible in order for each muscle to show.

Artisan Rheotaxis, a progressive rock baVid, will perform a two-hour benefit concert at Sollecito's on Wednesday, November 16 at 10 p.m. Sollecito's has graciously donated all the proceeds raised hv the S3 donation cover charge to help the students in their effort to alleviate hunger and homelessness in the community. ASC members will be staffing a booth in the Student Union and will distribute literature about the plight of the hungry and homeless, as well as answering any questions students may have concerning volunteering. The Student Community Service Project will have applications available for anyone interested in participating in volunteer work. Donations for the Emergency Homeless Shelter will also be collected at this booth. The university recognizes all members of the ASC as dedicated volunteers in the community through the Student Community Service Pro­ ject. In a letter which is being distributed to various departments on campus, the members say, "In this endeavor, we are directing our con­ cern and efforts towards funding an emergency homeless shelter and we are asking for your support." Student support is what this organization is all about. The ASC is making a concerned ef­ fort to dispel the notion that today's students may be apathetic towards the special problems which plague this nation. Students in the organization are gathering signatures on a national petition which challenges student apathy. Students who sign this peti­ tion are stating they are personally aware of the problems of hunger and homelessness and are willing to ex­ plore ways in which the problem may be eliminated. Students wishing to add their signatures to the challenge may do so at the ASC booth. ASC is dedicated to helping through volunteer effort. They are working to raise awareness of the pro­ blems associated with poverty in the hope that they may inspire the student community to help those less for­ tunate than themselves. ASC en­ courages everyone to become involv­ ed with the fight against hunger and homelessness. Anyone interested in volunteering or donating can contact the ASC courtesy of the Student Community Service Project located in Chapell Wilson Hall. avid Hiller isASU'sMr. Escort By TRACI GREENE Appalachian Staff Writer times have you gone to rary expecting to spend two or but end up spending ~ you are a female and it's a' flight, you may feel wary Icing — « home by , — T o , yourself t this, ASU has a service called a 1 nocr Escort. ctor David Hiller has many or Ndountaineer Escort for the lriS school year.

An El Paso newspaper photographed University of Texas-El Paso Athletic Director Brad Hovious taking beer from his car and bringing it to his private box at the campus stadium, where drinking is pro­ hibited, before the October 2 game. Hovious smuggled in the beer "as a matter of convenience," he told The Prospector, UTEP's student paper, for his guests at the game. Otherwise, he explained, he would have to have his guests drive 20 minutes to his home for a post-game party. x AM NAPP1 To SA1 THAT leO X AM A STMOeST O P FlHC AfcT, STKOG&UNG ToMAXE *1 HACK «Himj HAVE THC EXACT Qop/M«ASv>«coop S-TCCUE WOlfclO.

The first cut starts off with Bono talking about Charles Manson, as if no one would ever know about the song "Helter Skelter" without hear­ ing Chuck's name mentioned. While the song is excellent, to say the very least, having it as the first tune on the record is a little annoying. This is the kind of encore song that would be better played last. It still kicks ass, however. The Edge's "Van Diemen's Land" has uninspired lyrics and vocals. It is no wonder that it sort of fades off without much ado and without any fanfare. I can see people at parties saying, "Hey, did you just hear something?" during this song. Without a doubt, this is the weak link of Rattle and Hum. U2 Rattle and Hum Overall Rating — Cool Brood Factor — Excellent Trivial: U2 is made up of four guys who don't believe in hygiene. The lead vocalist, Bono, on his best days, is a prophet, and on his worst, a poet. Or something like that. The songs He sings really mean a lot to Him, and it shows. Once considered the premiere "college" or "alternative" band, U2 is now, after the successes of The Joshua Tree and The Unforgettable Fire, the megamothers of the pop/rock scene. Their other albums include War, Boy, October, the live Under a Blood Red Sky and the killer four song EP, Wide Awake in America. In their dust, they have left would be "U3s" and "Ul&'/is" (the The first single on the album Alarm leaps to mind) to fight over "Desire," is a great rock/pop song. future status as progressive top guns. It's not nearly as wimpy as "The Also following them is the masses of Joshua Tree." My personal favorite disciples who wear long coats and also part is at the beginning of the tune refuse to bathe. Oh, well. where He growls in a whisper, Rattle and Hum is an intense and "Yeah." It's the kind of song you refined product that illustrates U2's won't get tired of, even after mass reign as "the band of the 80s."

The Edge's patented Best of Etc. Etc.," like Blood Red guitar is very obvious (actually, too Sky. With brand new tunes and obvious) on this cut. This is the U2 classic covers, some live and some everyone knows and loves. studio recordings, Rattle and Hum is The best song on this record is U2's an original and inspiring LP. After anthem rock version of Dylan's "All the first listen, it will be difficult to Along The Watchtower." Adam Clayton's bass is very prevalent as Bono wishes that He could have been a big thing in the sixties. I'm sure Bob and Jimi are very pleased by this, because you know Bono is. A gospel version of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" follows the Dylan cover. I'm glad the inclusion of this song is such a radical departure from the original. It's almost' (dare I say?) inspiring. Another good thing is the choir, The Voices of Freedom, that accompanied U2 overshadows Bono and the Boys. I'm sure Bono really didn't matter too much, because He is,such a good thing. Just ask Him. The live version of "Silver and Gold" is, in one word, brooding. This almost reminds me of the kind of song The Smithereens would like to play if they had a social conscience. Another nice thing about this is Bono talking towards the end of it about South Africa, and is then concerned that he might be "bugging" the au­ dience. "Silver" crosses over well with the ever familiar "Pride (In the Name of Love)" about Martin Luther King Jr. THE LAST TEM?TAT\0N OF S^A10 Side two starts off with "Angel of Harlem." It is (like "Desire") a great pop song. Singing about Billie Holi­ day, Bono paints a vivid picture through his lyrics and vocal expres­ sions. Or something like that.. The next three songs are all new and are all about love. The first two actually have the word "love" in the titles. Neat, huh? The first, "Love See U2 Page 6 Iggy's Charlotte show is as dull as new album By MICHO Appalachian Staff Writer On Tuesday, October 25, Jane's Addiction and Iggy Pop took the stage of the Pterodactyl in Charlotte, N.C. The show was sold out which was obvious when you entered the bar, standing room only, and a sea of people. Anyone who has the characteristics of a "poser" would have felt at home in this small, accoustically unaccep­ table club. There was no slam danc­ ing, no pogoing, no stage diving, however, there was a handful of peo­ ple that tried to have a good time. Promptly at 9:30 p.m., Jane's Ad­ diction hit the stage. I was still waiting in line outside the club to get in. I received guest passes from my aunt in Charlotte for myself and my best friend, Jason. By the fifth song, we were able to pumm'el into the dark nightclub. The lead singer of Jane's Addiction was in drag-neon green evening gloves, dark low-cut shirt and loose pants. His orange dreadlocks were about halfway down his back. He looked so pretty. Overall, J.'s A. was mediocre. I know that sounds a bit harsh, but, well, I was disappointed. Damn it. I saw them a year ago and it was an awesome show. Industrial sounds and psychedelic, opera voices echoed through Page Hall at Duke Universi­ ty. Now they're this polished, smooth, whipped band. But wait there's more... Iggy Pop was atrocious (and Steve Jones wasn't even there!) We know everyone must age, and the Ig is no exception. His body is as fit and welldefined as Mick Jagger. His hair look­ ed like David Bowie's in the movie Labyrinth. The tired wrinkles on his face said "Yes, I'm 41 and spent most of my days trying to abuse my body." Iggy, you're getting old. Just face the truth, retire and have some kids. At one time in your career you felt com­ fortable unzipping your pants, now it's time to do what you feel, not what is expected from you. Iggy's tour band was the redeeming part of the show. They were definitely studio musicians and their profes­ sionalism was wickedly impressive. The energy was superb (this is pro­ bably going to be the most positive sentence of this article.) Iggy's list of songs was orrendous. Positive vibrations abound at show by reggae's finest Wailers' vibes fill H'Appy's N,o one in the audience seemed to know his good stuff (songs before 1978) and they seemed indifferent about his new stuff. "TV Eye" and "1969" brought tears to my eye—this is the Iggy I remember so well. "I Wanna Be Your Dog" received the greatest response from the crowd. That's a poser for you. Iggy, you're getting old. Just face the truth, retire and have some kids. The majority of the show covered his last two LPs Blah, Blah, Blah and Instinct. One amusing scene was when Iggy was singing "Tuff Baby." There were two lesbians in from of the stage. Iggy began to sing and started making moves on the "female" of the The crowd seemed oblivious to most of the show-this made me angry and the angst grew horns and wore a cloak. I slam danced like I was back at CBGB's. This resulted in the im­ mediate crowd getting aroused—they kicked me a good number of times and I got burned by a cigarette. But this didn't stop me. During the second encore, I climbed onto the stage and dove into the crowd. The bouncers didn't like that too much, so they literally threw me out. I didn't care; it was a disappointing show. Besides, I'm going back to New York where shows are a dime a dozen and "worth a million in prizes." Aaberg show superb By MARK LATENDRESSE Appalachian Staff Writer Three for three.

It was the only English words that these cannibals, knew, so they kept walking around saying it." This Windham Hill artist believes we should "look for the common things in people rather than dif­ ferences." Aaberg played a composi­ tion written by Abdullah Ebrahim, an African composer seeking to end Apartheid. This piece dealt with the actions of the white South African government, the forced separations of citizens and the violence being com­ mitted under the name of governmen­ tal control. "While this continues none of us should be content," Aaberg told the audience during the show. He also ex­ pressed concern that the United States still supports the South African regime. Aaberg played two pieces from a musical score he composed for a Japanese movie entitled "The Story of Namoi and Uemura." The movie, the story of a Japanese explorer/ mountain climber, presented Aaberg with new and interesting challenges in musical composition. "It has to do with the manipulation of time," he said. "They (the movie producers) send you the script along with the timing sequences and an un­ cut copy of the film, you work within these confines." Born in Chester, Montana, Aaberg now calls Oakland, California home and has no intentions of moving, even if it limits the number of available motion picture soudtracks.

Until he reach- ; '"accident," Paul stayed >ol for an entire year and a Sreen was a professor at and after the "ac­ cident ' she quit her job and stayed home with Paul to tutor him. The day after it happened, Mrs. Steen's older brother, Jake flew down from New York. Paul's uncle Jake was a profes­ sional bass player in one of the more successful jazz bands in the New York area and he loved Paul more than his bass. Uncle Jake never had a wife. Jake was the only person in the world who could understand Paul, and when he got the call from his sister early on a Sunday morning, he im­ mediately canceled his gig for that night and made arrangements to be on the first plane bound for Charlotte, North Carolina. By 1:30 that Sunday afternoon, Jake was at the front door of his sister's house with a huge brown box at his side. After hugging his little sister and her husband, he headed straight up the stairs for Paul's room, toting the cardboard box. The large man walked into the dark room and set his load down at the foot of the" bed. Jake sat down on the bed beside his sleeping nephew and Paul's eyes began to flutter and then finally to open. Paul's eyes widened and a grin spread across his face when he saw his uncle's face hovering above. "Hey kid, you look pretty lousy. 1 brought you something from the Big Apple." Uncle Jake was trying hard to conceal the pain and worry that were obviously advertised in his eyes and his voice. He got up, turned the light on and brought the large box around to Paul's bedside. While the boy watched from a pile of pillows that propped him up, Jake proceeded to open the box. Out of the raindotted cardboard he pulled a black vinyl case that was rather flat and rec­ tangular. He laid the case on a chair beside the bed and flipped up the shiny new clamps and opened the mysterious box. Lying in the middle of the velvet interior was an electric guitar the color of a wet fire engine in full sunlight. Jake picked up the guitar and placed it in Paul's lap. "Be careful; the paint may still be wet. I just picked it up from the fac­ tory a few hours ago. I have friends in high places and one of them happens to custom design guitars for the Fender corporation. He just built this one yesterday. He was the first person I called after I talked to your mom." "But Uncle Jake, this cost so much money.. .and I'll never learn to play it. It's so beautiful.. .and.. .red." "Paul, the money means nothing; the color is proud and it will give you strength, and you will learn to play it like the wind." Paul looked into his uncle's confident face and steel blue eyes and he felt the comfortable weight of the guitar in his lap. The day after his uncle left, Paul gained the strength to get out of bed. Immediately he went up into the attic and started moving things around and clearing Out a space in which he could work. His dad came up, intent on scolding him for being out of bed, but after seeing the strength and despera­ tion in his son's face, he bent over, picked up a box and said, "Where do you want it, Chief?" It was the first time since Paul could remember that he and his dad had truly done anything together. From that day, he and His fathef made the attic into a makeshift studio; to the last day of the summer before his senior year in high school, Paul practiced the guitar. He played every minute of the day that his mother was not teaching him or feeding him. Paul's father would stop by the music store every day after work and pick up any books, magazines or cassettes that had anything to do with guitar and bring them home to Paul wHo would absorb them. At the end of the summer, Paul decided he wanted to go back to school to finish his last year like everyone else. He did not go back because his friends missed him. He had no friends. No one had called for the entire year and a half that he was out. He had grown up virtually un­ noticed among his peers. Few people knew about the "accident" and even if they did, it had not ruined their day. Paul had to go back to prove something to himself and to the world around him. On the third day of school, the stu­ dent government was sponsoring a talent show in the gym for the entire student body. Only members of the senior class were allowed to par­ ticipate. Seniors who were interested were to sign up on the sheet posted on the office door. They were to put a brief description of what they were going to do beside their signature. Paul signed up on the second day of school. He put: Paul J. Steen-Guitar. Paul was a bit nervous while he was waiting behind the bleachers to go on. The blond girl with big cheeks was wailing some country song out of key did not help to relax him. When she stopped, Paul picked up his amp and guitar and StrodeT onrlnto the middle of the gym. The student body presi­ dent rqi$pronounced his last name Aaberg Continued from Page 5 you."

He was no longer nervous M AMERICAN as he became absorbed in the piece that he had sweated for a year and a half to create. The incredible sounds that came out of Paul's little amp held the attention of anyone within ear­ shot. His slender fingers were like lightning, but much more precise and his heart pounded with the underlying beat of the progression. The poun­ ding became so loud in his ears that he looked up for a second, and when he did, he saw the entire student body on their feet stomping in unison witH the hypnotic rhythm. Paul finished the piece and the last harmonic rang sweetly throughout the gym. He looked down at his hand that was sustaining the final chord and he could see the light puffy scar on his, wrist. He looked at his other hand that was holding the pick and saw the same scar. Paul Steen raised his head to the applauding crowd, smiling and remembered what he always told his | mom, "Don't worry.

The night spark­ ed much excitement and heightened the expectations for the 1988-89 season, in addition, the match demonstrated the outstanding poten­ tial that the upcoming season has in store. Antonio Calloway had an im­ pressive showing using a variety of takedowns and countering moves in a 7-4 win at the 118-pound level. He ap­ pears to have picked up where he left off after a successful freshman year. The 126-pound and 134-pound class matches were two of the more exciting match-ups of the night. Senior Tom Elphick came from behind in the last few seconds to win 7-6. Sophomore^ Mackie Moore held off a final effort by freshman Eddie Gist to win 4-3. The season should prove to be interesting at both of these weight classes because all four wrestlers are evenly matched. In addi­ tion, all of them are willing to make the sacrifice necessary to become the top man in their class. Sophomore Bubba Garman and junior-transfer Dale Robbins won their matches at 142 and 167 pounds, respectively. The two matches in bet­ ween at 150 and 158 pounds ended in ties. Senior Mike Maxam at 177 pounds, went out and handily won by a fall. Maxam's uncanny style of wrestling has made scoring by opponents ex­ tremely difficult. The 190-pound match was a longawaited bout featuring two outstand­ ing^ wrestlers, junior Chris Zwilling and junior transfer Jay Leo. The match was hard-fought, and it ended with a 7-3 victory for Zwilling. Both wrestlers will make a big contribution to the team and will most likely wres­ tle at different weight classes later in the season. This past weekend, the team travel­ ed to Norfolk, Virginia to compete in the Eastern Nationals, one of the toughest pre-season tournaments. Two wrestlers finished in the top four. Antonio Calloway placed third at 118 pounds and Mike Maxam plac­ ed fourth in the 177-pound class. The wrestling team as a whole had at least one wrestler in each weight class to finish in the top eight. The next home match for the Apps is Monday November 21 at 7 p.m. in Varsity Gym against Chowan College. Come out and support the longestablished wrestling traditions and see ASU's very own "Bad Boys Of Boone." CATEGORY Rushing Passing Literally. Tiger fans' cheers for Fuller's touchdown were so powerful they registered on the LSU Geology Department's seismograph, which is used to measure earthquakes. "Obviously the audience was ex­ cited," said Geologist Dr. Vindell Hsu. "They must have jumped up and down in the stand and caused the ground to vibrate," he said. Hsu said the seismograph picks up vibrations from all over the world, in­ cluding earthquakes, but that sometimes it registers heavy footsteps in the adjacent geology offices as well as rumbling from trucks and buses that pass outside. But those vibrations come from extremely close sources, not halfway across campus. Hsu cannot determine how the fans' rumblings measured on the Richter scale, however, because cheering produces a different kind of seismic wave than an earthquake. No matter who is "behind center" for the Mountaineers both Bobby Fuller and Lance Redding have shown they can run the of­ fense. On the other hand, UT-C's biggest problem has been at the quarterback position. Look for Brad Patterson to get the start but, as he's done before. Coach Buddy Nix won't hesitate to bring in his son Stan Nix. Tight end Travis McNeal (6'3", 230) is the big target for either QB and could be a major factor in the ballgame. Is there a quarterback controversy in Boone? Both Redding and Fuller are dangerous. Redding offers a double-threat with his running ability but Fuller probably reads defense better. Coach Sparky Woods may take a page out of Nix's playbook and use both quarterbacks. Defense If both these defenses play up to their poten­ tial this game could go down to the wire. While ASU's "D" has been hurt by injuries, the Moc's defense has gotten little help from the offense, Chatanooga features the best set of linebackers in the Southern Conference, with Willie Greenway and Junior Jackson. This defense is coming off an impressive showing against Furman (10-7 loss) and is capable of shutting anybody out. Appalachian lost yet another key defensive player last week when tackle Jimmy Snowden broke his leg. The Apps defense weakened considerably in the second half of Saturday's game and they can't afford the same kind of let down this Saturday. Kicking UT-C and ASU both have an outstanding kicking specialist. If field position is a key to the ballgame, punters Billy Smith (UT-C) and Tony Cox both excel in putting the ball inside the 20. The Apps Bjorn Nittmo will be trying to breakout of a mild slump. If Nittmo were a baseball player he'd be "due" to have a big game. In UT-C's early season loss to Georgia Tech, Billy Smith did a masterful job hitting the "cof­ fin corner." This game, because of the strong defenses, could come down to a field goal and both coaches could have a lot of confidence in their kickers. Intangibles Appalachian finds their backs against the wall and this team realizes that to even have a chance at making the playoffs they must win their final two games. In Chatanooga, rumors are flying that Coach Nix's job is in jeopardy. If the rumors are true, the Mountaineers couldn't be playing the Mocs at a worse time. Teams tend to rally around a coach in this situation and that could mean big trouble for the Apps. With The Citadel's upset of Marshall, ASU has been backed into a corner. The Moun­ taineers need an impressive win this week to set up a major shutdown next week in Winston-Salem against Wake Forest. Handball offers fun combination By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports Editor European Team Handball is a uni­ que sport offered through the depart­ ment of Recreation, Intramurals, and Club Sports. The game, unfamiliar to many students, combines aspects of water polo, basketball, and rugby and is more physical than any other Ap­ palachian intramural sport. There are currently 15 teams par­ ticipating in European Team Hand­ ball competition, and many of the players are newcomers to the sport. In order to help the participants become familiar with the rules and regulations of the sport, two rounds of practice games are played. Quinn Center Program Supervisor Donnie Barrow supervises the Mon­ day and^ Wednesday night games at Broome-Kirk. Barrow, a member of the 1984 U.S. Olympic Handball Training Team, believes that par­ ticipants /enjoy the sport because it in­ corporates different sports into one. "What makes the game special is that you can take steps with the ball, dribble the ball, and throw the ball to score," he said. "Also, legal contact is allowed that makes the game more physical and exciting," he added. The object of the game is to score as many goals as possible in two 15-minute halves. While each team can have an unlimited number of players on the roster, six court players and one goalie participate in the court action. Barrow notes that the team with the most experience is not always the best team and that athletic skill is an important element. "The players enjoy the sport because it is so fast-paced," he said. "You have to be able to dribble, run, and shoot. It takes a lot of total skills to be successful." Barrow feels that if students know more about the game they would come out year after year to play. "Most of the experience in the pro­ gram comes from those who have par­ ticipated before in the European Team Handball intramural program," Barrow said. "It would be nice if there were some renewed interest in the sport. I think that many people just don't know enough about it." Spectators are welcome to come watch and support the teams and learn more about the game. "The sport is not easy, but it is fun," Barrow said. "This sport is for anybody who loves contact and ag­ gressive play. Those who come in new to the game come back. They simply love the sport," Barrow added. ADVANTAGE The Mountaineers may have the better ground game, but UT-C has a very good defense against the run. If ASU can establish a consistent running gome early, the Apps will be half way to a victory. The Moccasins are a team who like to go strength ogainst strength. UT-C is not an ex­ plosive team but if they are able to more the ball on the ground, then the passing will be that much easier. The Mocs have two very capable backs in Andre Lochart and Darryl Streeter. Appalachian should continue to use a variety of running backs. Last week ASU used five backs to wear down an already weak Western Carolina defense. In the second half, the Mountaineers will need "fresh legs" against a Moc defense that reminds me a lot of ASU's stinging "D" of year's past. An earth-shaking event (CPS)—When Louisiana State University's Eddie Fuller pulled in the touchdown pass in the final two minutes of the game that lead to LSU's 7-6 October 8th victory over Auburn, the fans went wild and the earth moved. COMMENT EVEN EVEN Treat for boxing fans Boxing fans, rally around the ring! For those of you who laid down your thirty dollars or more, Monday night was a real treat. Unlike the SpinksTyson fight, you got your moneys worth. Danny LaLonde and Sugar Ray Leonard gave to the fans the kind of fight necessary to bring back boxing's popularity. With the retirement of Marvin Hagler and the forced departure of Larry Holmes, the boxing world was devoid of a top draw.'Enter Mike Tyson. Tyson has it all-speed, power, and a top notch ring sense. But with his antics out of the ring, Tyson has made the world of boxing resemble more of a circus sideshow than a sport. Sugar Ray is the fighter who unites the boxing magazines and commen­ tators behind him. With his efferves­ cent style in the ring and his ability to dodge all the temptations outside the fight game, Sugar Ray has become the unofficial ambassador for the sport. After a long layoff following the controversial Hagler fight, Leonard came back to prove that his name must be mentioned in the same breath with boxers like Marciano, Lewis, and Sugar Ray Robinson. In his fifth weight class, Leonard showed the world that he not only has the power to end a fight in an upper weight class, but he has the chin to take all the punishment they can dish out. Leonard was knocked down in the fourth round on Monday, and suf­ fered a cut in the fifth. LaLonde is known for his disastrously powerful right hand. The fact that Leonard could take the punishment and still put his man away proves that he has heart as well as skill. Boxing could become one of the most popular sports in America again if the promoters of a big fight would let the event be shown on network television. A matchup between Micheal Nunn and Sugar Ray Leonard would give the fight legitimacy in the eyes of the boxing world and bring in enough viewers to give the networks a profit. **nen clinch championships; men second HEY BARRINEAU ^^*»»lachtan Staff Wriltr I omen's Cross Country ®8 Southern Conference coach John Weaver ^ 'he Southern Con*ch of the Year by his ^ Phased I won that, but ^sed by our performance sa'd- "Honestly, est we've probably ever chamnionshin 1 on OcFurman. in scoring 28 Mountaineers broke Southern Conference record for best score ever by a team.

This Band Aid attitude will even­ tually catch up with us and the real shame of it all is that we are beginning to accept and actually expect the government to approach problems in this manner. We ask the government to do everything for us and often we wind up asking it to do things it can­ not do. At other times, we ask it to fix something now that cannot be done quickly. Our approach to nuclear disarma­ ment is an example of wanting something now, that cannot be done quickly. We have developed a fear aura around the thought of nuclear destruction that is so powerful that we nave forgotten that conventional destruction is a pretty nasty thing tdso. We fear nuclear war so much that we try to pressure the govern­ ment to make treaties that eliminate nuclear weapons without taking into consideration the huge conventional arsenals of both sides. The fact is that mutually assured destruction is self deterring. It is not feasible to start a ?. there is no way you can survive it. I his is the reason that we have not had a major war in the last forty years, and no, Vietnam was not a ma­ jor war. A major war kills millions of people, not thousands. We have not avoided war, as some idealistic souls will tell you, because we have learned better. If we had learned better, we wouldn't even have these huge nuclear stockpiles in the first place. The act is that we have avoided World War III because we have ensured that World War III will be unwinnable. ^,N°W' ,cerfain shortsighted people y we should do everything possible o do away with our deterrant. With that deterrant gone, war will once again become a feasible alternative tor solving international conflicts. We iave forgotten that conventional war is a pretty horrible thing, too. We are so afraid of nuclear war that we have made conventional war seem clean and sanitary. Nothing could be fur­ ther from the truth. We can totally destroy ourselves conventionally as well as nuclearly, and if we eliminate our nuclear arsenals without cor­ responding reductions in our conven­ tional forces, destroy ourselves is ex­ actly what we will do. We have orgotten that had America not sur­ vived World War II because of it's flghting' a11 ioSrh H civilization would have been thrown into a dark ,V recovered from. If World War III is fought us­ ing only our conventional weapons today, no country would survive, and ie dark age that we avoided in World ar II will find us for sure. These are some of the problems facmg the new president, and more than likely he will not make the hard and difficult choices that will have to be made. He will do like all the rest of society and try to take the easy way out. He will listen to the shortsighted people who are incapable of seeing the consequences of what they ask He will try to heal the slashed throat with a Band Aid, and the people who will bleed to death are the people of this country. frge tuW0U,d have never .

Parking problems, future expansions discussed by Boone Town Council Task force looks at downtown improvement By JON JIMISON Appalachian News Fditor have to set this in motion and try to get the whole community with us because the com munity is looking to us to start something," she said. The Boone lown Council approved the formation of a task force to look at beautification and traffic problems in downtown Boone, during their meeting last Thursday. According to Mayor Pro-Tempore Velma Burnley, the committee will look at and ad­ dress solutions to parking needs, alleyways and general beautification. Burnely said the committee should in­ clude the diiector of public works, police chief, senior town planner and represen­ tatives from the Planning Commission, Community Appearance Commission, Municipal Tax District and Town Council. "There's just a lot of good ideas out there, but ideas aren't worth anything until we start working and checking these things off as accomplishments." Velma Burnley, Mayor Pro- Tempore "The task that these people would have would be to evaluate the areas I have described, to set priorities and to seek ways to address problems," Burnely said. Boone Mayor Larry Keeter said this is a very important task force and is badly need­ ed. According to Burnley, the task force needs to start as soon as possible. "I feel we "There's just a lot of good ideas out there, but ideas aren't worth anything until we start working and checking these things off as accomplishments," she added. Burnley said the committee will focus specifically on clearing alleyways, clearing Howard Street and installing more diagonal paring instead of horizontal to speed traffic through the downtown area. Councilman Saul Chase made the motion to appoint the task force as outlined by Burnley and suggested that Burnley be chairperson of that committee. The motion passed unanimously. In other business. Chase suggested that council look into Appalachian State Univer­ sity's building plans for the year 2000 and proposed student activity center. "It would be beneficial for the town council to find out more about the specifics of these projects and how they might have an effect on the Town of Boone," he said. Chase said he will extend an invitation to Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette and University Plannei Dick Bell to address next month's council meeting. The council debated over a request by Gteenway Trailer Park owner Randy Phillips to have his water bill adjusted. Phillips contends that because of a water leak, he is entitled to a months adjustment. However, Director of Public Services George Suddreth said they felt justified (in the water bill) and want to collect payment on the water and adjust Phillip's sewer charge. Councilman Marsh questioned the mo­ tion to collect tne water payment. "If you're not sure the sewer (bill) is correct, how can you be sure the water bill is cor­ rect?" he said. "If you're not sure the sewer (bill) is correct, how can you be sure the water bill is correct?" Councilman Saul Chase Suddreth said the water went through a meter before the leak and must be paid for. The motion was then carried. Also, the council unanimously approved to move the date of next month's meeting from November 24 to November 29 at 6:30 p.m. due to Thanksgiving holiday. The Watauga County United Way campaign By J SHAVER Appalachian Staff Writer T he Watauga County United Way campaign has proceed­ ed with difficulty county-wide this year, with ASU meeting 77 percent of its goal. "Pledge cards and payroll deduction forms were passed out to all employees about two months ago." assistant director of International Studies and Watauga United Way Chairman Tom Adams said. He added that the campaign overall, was going very slowly so far. Adams said he did not know whether the difficulty lies with decreased contributions or because not all the funds raised have been turned in yet. Last year the campus campaign was very successful, rais­ ing $27,066. "We passed our goals for last year; we did over 100 percent." assistant director of personnel and campus co-chairman Mack Greer said.

Appalachian State University is of­ fering a special Christmas gift this year to all area residents and visitors.

Order of Mystic Science club By TODD JOHNSON Appalachiun Columnist A new club is forming on campus, and could be just the thing for those wanting to find out more about 5 paranormal and mysterious phenomena. The name of the club is the Hermetic Order of Mystical Sciences. And they are a sort of real life "Ghostbusting" team out to research paranormal activity. Their main ob­ jectives are to expand members' knowledge of facts dealing with the true nature behind mystical sciences and to develop creative thinking to the rationale of events. Mystical Science would be defined as any non-concrete science, such as parapsychology or anthropological field. Their activities will include field trips to sights of unusual occurences, which they will investigate and research in order to determine the nature of such occurences. They also plan to work with the Paranormal Research Institute in their research and data collection. "Our belief is that all paranormal activity can be explained," creator of the club Jim Kock said. "It's just a matter of looking at the situation pro­ perly." The club applies a scientific method towards the deduction of events. Their research includes fin­ ding historical basis for the legends behind the events as well as forensic and other scientific investigation. "We believe that probably 99 per­ cent of all paranormal activity is fraud," Koch said, "but that remain­ ing one percent could very well have something to it, and we want to find out what that something is." Their roster of field trips is already taking torm. They have already gone to explore the notorious "Devil's Tramping Ground". And even spent the night camping in the center circle, where strange things are purported to happen. Koch said that the research turned up little that was fascinating. Other events that they want to study are the "Brown Mountain Lights" and also the "Macon Ghost Light" in South Carolina, theorized to be the spirit of some mysterious lantern bearer. The group is not just strictly a scientific, research group; it is also a social organization. The members have activities such as dinners and role-playing games together when they have no field trips scheduled. And the club also wants to make a step into community service by get­ ting involved with the hungerfight program. Koch urges it to be understood that the club is not an occultic club nor does it practice such. "I denounce oc­ cultic activity. Such activity is in very bad taste and it is not what our club is , about. Koch invites people interested in the club to drop a letter to him at ASU P.O. Box 8983. The club allows ASU students or faculty/staff members only. And interested people should include a short explanation of why they are interested in joining and should include their phone number.

I never did Mountaineers maul the Cats 42-21 By AUBREY HOOVER Assistant Sports Editor Appaldthian State quarterback Lance Redding, a red shirt freshman making his first career start, was near­ ly flawless in leading the .Apps over Western Carolina. ASU racked up almost 400 yards of offense en route to a 42-21 win over the Catamounts. A crowd of 12,375 witnessed the ASU defense shut down Western on their first four possessions and in do­ ing so, set up two Appalachian touchdowns. Before the Western of­ fense could generate any points, coach Bob Water's team was already down 14-0. "I thought our defense put us in position to score some points early and we didn't get the job done," ASU Head Coach Sparky Woods said. "But after that our offense ' id get the job done and we had some big plays to get us moving." Woods is referring to the fact that his team started two drives in Western territory and came away emptyhanded. However, Appalachian did convert two Catamount miscues into 14 points. On Western's second possession, the Catamounts were stopped short on third down and forced to punt. ASU's Keith Collins broke through the line untouched and got "all ball" in setting up an ASU first and ten at the Catamount 27-yard line. "We always seem to do something wrong at a critical point in the game—missed tackle, dropped pass, have a punt blocked, fall down trying to make a tackle—stuff like that," Western Head Coach Bob Waters said. After the blocked punt, the ASU offense took just six pla$ to get in the endzone. On the third play of the drive, a key and 11 on the 28 yardline, Redding scrambled around in the pocket but was unable to find an open receiver, so the freshman tucked the ball away and ran 16 yards for a first down. From there, running back Rit­ chie Melchor got the ball down to the three to set up a touchdown plunge by Tim Sanders. The Western offense could not move the ball after the ensuing kickoff and was forced to punt again. ASU took over at the Catamount 48-yard line but was only able to move the chains once, pushing the ball down to the 31-yard line. Bjorn Nittmo then missed his second field goal of the game and the score re­ mained 7-0 ASU. On Western's next posession, the Mountaineers defense recovered a Ramond Taylor fumble to give the App offense another scoring opportunity. Redding then engineered a 10-play 56-yard drive capped by a two-yard touchdown pass to junior Reggie Spruill. Nittmo's PAT increased App's lead to 14-0. "After we got a 14-0 lead, we gave up an 80-yard touchdown drive and struggled after that on defense," Woods said. Following Western's nine-play 80-yard drive that cut the Moun­ taineer lead in half, both defenses began to struggle while the offenses heated up. Appalachian matched the Catamounts long scoring drive with one of their own, a nine-play 74-yard touchdown drive that ended the first half scoring. "One of the discouraging things about today was the injuries we suf­ fered," Woods said. Jimmy Snowden (broken leg), Eric Menefee and Donnie Dermid were all hurt for us today. The injuries keep piling uP and that may be why our defense struggled the way it did in the second half." The story of the second half was the Mountaineers' ability to match the Western offense touchdown for touchdown. The Catamounts scored a touchdown in both the third and fourth quarters but, in between those scores, ASU added 14 points of their own. Two big plays by Redding ended any hope of a Western comeback. A 37-yard touchdown strike from Redding to Sam Wesley increased the lead to 28-7. And after a Western touchdown cut the lead to 28-14, Red­ ding dumped the ball off to Spruill who raced 72-yards into the endzone. Both teams went on to add a touchdown late in the game to close out the scoring. Redding was not the only Moun­ taineer to have a spectacular day. Sophomore running back Kevin Arm­ strong also rushed for 123 yards on 24 carries while Spruill had four catches for 97 yards. But Saturday was Lance Redding's day to prove he is a capable QB which he did. "I thought Lance Redding did an outstanding job, considering he was a freshman making his first career start," Woods said. "We didn't have any exchange problems or fumbled hand-offs and that was a good thing to see." With the win, ASU goes to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Southern con­ ference and remains a long shot to make the Division I-AA playoffs after The Citadel's upset of Marshall. "Marshall finished 7-4 last year and ended up playing for the national ti­ tle," Woods said. "I hope we'll get the same chance if that's the situa­ tion."

By DOUG DEWAR Appalachian Staff Writer Despite their 1-2 record of last week and a 6-10-3 record overall, the ASU soccer team has still done well in the Southern Conference rankings this year, second behind Furman. The Apps played their last three games of the season this past week against Davidson, Marshall and Liberty. The first of these games was against Davidson at home on Wednesday, October 26. The Apps fell 2-1 in this match despite dominating most of the game. Davidson scored first in the game, early in the first half. ASU was quick to come back, however, on a goal by Mike Dehner. The goal came off a corner kick by Neil Wlodyka and was volleyed into the top of the net for an outstanding goaL The half ended with the score 1-1. The second half was completely dominated by ASU but Davidson scored on their only attack. The Apps continued to play well after the Davidson goal but could not score and the game ended with the Mountaineers losing 2-1. The soccer team's next game was against Marshall. This game was by far the most important of last week's games. The result of this game deter­ mined the Apps' standing in the Southern Conference. For the seventh time this season the Apps were forced to play in overtime. The team was able to keep their composure, however, and pulled out a 3-1 victory in this crucial game. The game began with Marshall put­ ting on the pressure and scoring first, but the Apps were able to tie it up before the end of the first half on a goal by Jim Betts, assisted by Mike Dehner and Carlos Lee. The second half was scoreless and regulation time ended with the score 1-1. Two 10-minute overtime periods ensued and the Apps came out very strong, determined to win this impor­ tant conference match. The Apps' hard work paid off as they scored two goals by the end of the overtime periods, winning the game 3-1. The overtfme goals were scored by CarTos Lee, assisted by Phil Rimer, and by Brian Flynn, assisted by Andy Salandy. The third game of the week and final game of the regular season was away against Liberty. In this game, the Apps pushed hard to capture a win off their final match, but they came up short by one goal as they fell to Liberty 2-1. The game began with both sides playing evenly, but Liberty was the first to get on the score board in the first half. In the second half, Liberty scored again to leave the Apps down by two. ASU kept their heads however and were able to generate a great flurry of offense in the last minutes of the game. Brian Flynn scored off an excellent assist by Andy Salandy with four minutes left. The Apps kept up the pressure and almost learned to like live and baseball ar °re interesting in perse lre On TV. ^ ^*:>es ^or football. I ci , e in the same room football.

Both of the losses last week could nave easily been victories for the soc­ cer team. The Davidson match was controlled mostly by ASU. The Apps outshot Davidson 10-7 and kept the ball on their end almost all of the se­ cond half. The match against Liberty was not dominated by ASU, but they still could have won or at least tied with some of their close shots in the end. One of the main problems for the soc­ cer team this year was losing to teams they shohld have beaten. "This year's biggest problem was that when we had a team pinned down in a game, we had a hard time finishing," Assistant Coach Eric Terrill said. The team's record of 6-10-3 by no means shows the talent and ability of this year's team. Injuries plagued the team this year and greatly affected their play. This young team gained valuable experience, learning how to play without their two main defenders for most of the season. They also learned how to keep their heads up after losing some very close games, many of which they should have won. The main objective for the team this year was to do well in the con­ ference. This objective is one that the team has achieved. "We struggled this year, but the one good thing is that we finished se­ cond in the conference," Head Coach Art Rex said. The soccer team will play in the Southern Conference tournament next, beginning with a match against the Citadel, which, if won, would put them in the championship game. Hopefully, the Apps can win this tournament and bring home a Southern Conference title for ASU.

Despite their final efforts, time ran out and the game ended with the Apps losing second in conference By TOMECO STARNES Appalachian Staff Writer A youthful Lady Apps team spikes the ball to a second place victory in the conference. The Lady Apps had a rough start this season with personal injuries, bad attitudes and personalities in conflicts all plaguing the team. They did manage to unite early on in the season and secure the number two position in the conference. "The team was able to keep a posistive attitude despite the dif­ ficulties they were enduring and this contributed to the team's unity," Coach Blankenship said. The team defeated Marshall (15-11), (15-8), (15-11). in a three game sweep in their last home game of the season. Coach Blankenship said,"Kim Warren, the only returning Senior on the team was the key to the team's win because of her positive at­ titude and belief that they could win the game." This year's team was full of ex­ perienced players, with only four returning players from last season. The team managed to end the season with a (28-23) record. "It was the team's desire to win that was the reason for their success," Blankenship said The Lady Apps received an open bid for the conference tournament, which automatically puts them in the semi-final rounds. The tournament will be held next Friday thru Sunday, Nov. 11-13 at the University of Ten­ nessee at Chatanooga. "We're going to change our strategies and run some plays that the opposing teams haven't seen us ex­ ecute before." Blankenship said. Kim Warren, a senior here at Ap­ pal a chian has completed her col­ legiate career. She is from Plant City, Fla. and attended Plant City High. There she became the team's MVP and she was the Tampa Tribune's AllStar team pick. She has been a member of the Lady Apps since her freshman year. She has played in 85 games. Her most significant role with the team was her junior year, in which she recorded 156 kills, 50 block solos and raised her average to 200 percent. She is currently third on the all-time block solo list. This year as a starter she has struggled with personal injury but has consistently played well despite her physical conditons, just as she did in her last home match. "I've done a lot of growing up here at ASU and I've enjoyed playing volleyball. Volleyball has helped me both mentally and physically, on and off the court," Warren said. "The greatest loss the team will be suffering by losing Kim will be losing her personality, positive attitude, and team and school spirit," Blankenship said. Despite the team's hardship, they have managed to unite and unity is their strength. "If we continue to think positive and to work together as a team, then we can win the tournament." Blankenship said. �THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDA Y, NOVEMBER 8, 1988 THE APPALACHIAN THE APPALACHIAN TRENT Hl'KFMAN, Managing Editor in Chief The Appalac hian welcomes KOKI M letters.

THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA ) hour- s'a inly on 1 thought it would be a major coup if we could get Jesus to speak for the lecture series on campus. I tried call­ ing around to let the appropriate officials know that Jesus would be in Boone for a few days, and that he was willing to speak on campus. Everyone seemed to think it was a colossal joke. Jesus was disappointed that the university didn't want him, so I started calling local ministers to see if they would like to have Jesus as a guest speaker on Sunday. And you know what? They hung up on me. Slammed down those phones. Jesus was really disappointed. I didn't know what to do then. Jesus was in Boone, and nobody even cared. I thought about calling some of the campus Christians like William O'Flaherty and Rick Rairdon to see if they wanted to interview Jesus or something, but decided against that because I knew that Jesus would be upset to know people like that were his most visible "representatives" on campus. Jesus was bored with sitting around in my apartment (even though he was fascinated with the answering machine and couldn't wait to buy one for his dad), and I was out of beer, so we decided to see what was happening on campus. Fortunately, campus was not nearly as boring as it usually is, and there was plenty to do.

Sadly, I toid true. "But a great deal Jj MM*" See JESUS). Do we really want a secular society By RICK RAIRDON Appalachian Columnist We don't 'trust in God' so get Him off our money. We don't believe in creation so keep God out of the schools and textbooks. We don't ac­ cept God as judge and law giver so why swear on the bible in court or open the U.S. Congress with prayer? The words on the money should read; "In Ourselves We Trust." In the schools and in the textbooks the mot­ to should be; "We are cosmic ac­ cidents hallowed be the science of man." And let's use a playboy magazine in the court room for our oath, because truth is no longer ab­ solute. This secularist society is one of spiritual parasites living off the blessings of a post-Christian culture. They are literally biting the hand that has been feeding them. This may sound extreme to you but it is the logical conclusion of a secularized society. Is this what we want? Well, believe it or not there are millions in the United States that say J r M M t AK "absloutely not." The political move­ ment known as "The New Christian Right" is just one example of an estimated 40 million Christians who are fed up with the nations moral standards. If you think that we have a conflict now, wait a few more years and see the turmoil. This nation is flirting with the elements of a civil war that could be waged over a value system. The gauntlet has already been thrown down and picked up. The idea of the passive Christian is turning to a spirit of militancy. The abortion issue is a case-in-point as the demonstra­ tions in Atlanta, and all over the U.S. have become intensive. The education system has become another "hot spot" in the moral conflict, I would hate to see this nation at war with itself. If we have chosen to be "One Nation Under God" let's be under God. Just for the sake of argument" if the anti-Christian or anti-God elements of this nation can't tolerate living under God then separate one group from the other. This would be done by zoning. We could have moral zones and immoral zones. I wonder how big a police force would be need­ ed in the immoral zone? How do you think this non-Christian, anti-God society would fair? This secularist society is one of spiritual parasites liv­ ing off the blessings of a post- can't be blessed of God andtk Christian culture. They are literally the God of the blessings. biting the hand that has been feeding Another thing that Christa them. this nation need to do is return Just to keep the record straight I biblical imperative that states would ask, are the Christians of this thy neighbor as thyself." ft decade any better as they carry out the Christians when it cons; their detente with the devil for homeless, the sick, the poor ar: material gain?

ASU band directors justify To the Editor: As official representatives of the ASU Marching Mountaineer Band, we, the Drum Majors, would like to express our concern over the inac­ curate account of the incidents which took place on October 15 dur­ ing a home football game. This ac­ count which was published in The Appalachian accused our band direc­ tors of being disrespectful and rude to certain members of the crowd. In order to understand the events which took place it is necessary for us to give a description of the cir­ cumstances surrounding this event. There were, before the beginning of the game, people seated in an area which was reserved for the use of the Marching Band. The writer, Mr. Ziel, fails to mention the fact that these people were politely asked to move several times. Our band directors were greeted with a barrage of rude comments; only a few peo­ ple had the common courtesy to move. After this display of ar­ rogance, our band directors were forced to use less tactful ways of commanding the crowd's attention. We feel that Mr. Ziel is wrong in expecting infinite patience from our instui,.tors. It is bt .ond us to think that Mr. Ziel and his rent-a-friend warriors had trouble seeing the signs clearly marked "Reserved for the ASU Marching Band." Could it be that they were blinded by the screaming florescent orange tape which distinctly separated the band area from the rest of the crowd? Our band directors were greeted with a barrage of rude comments; only a few people had the common courtesy to move. Maybe Mr. Ziel and his comrades arc not aware of the importance of setting aside a special area for the use of the band. Each row of band members represent thousands of dollars worth of musical merchan­ dise. The average cost of a musical instrument range form $300 to $5,000. The value of our band uniforms is estimated at $250 a set. None of these expensive items hold up well to a "Jack Daniels Spill." it would seem that any reasonable in­ dividual could realize this. Dr. Brashier and Dr. Gora are among the finest directors in the country and we are proud to have them as our instructors. Perhaps it would be of interest to Mr. Ziel's misinformed readers to 4tc Sal Sal Hr>, Spe learn that Marching Band is aL" (MUS 1100).

And all of those wonderful ladies with blue hair that have been looking down on everyone since I was five years old were pleased. Now they have somebody new to pray for. They naturally believe Jesus is a lost soul. Half a dozen of them even offered to give him a haircut for free. After church, I had to explain to Jesus that those people were Chris­ tians. "Those people?" asked Jesus. 1 nodded. "It's worse than we thought," said Jesus. "Something has got to be done." "What can you do?" I asked. "They're so certain they're right that nothing you say can change what they think. They probably would think you were Satan if you tried to teach them anything. They are waiting for the second coming of Christ, but they're too stupid to realize that it's already happened." Jesus and I spent Sunday evening drinking Margaritas and eating enchiladas at Tijuana Fats! We talked about what his next move should be. I felt really strange giving Jesus advice, but he really wanted to know what 1 thought. I told him the best thing he could do was to leave Boone and try to find some place that was a little less like Heathen Valley. Jesus agreed with me. He spent another night on my air mattress, and then headed out of town. 1 think he was planning to stay in Winston-Salem for a while. So now you don't have to wonder any more about just who that mysterious hippie was. Jesus spent an entire weekend in Boone, and nobodv even noticed. By TODD JOHNSON Appalachian Columnist Every time Christianity and politics mix, I see confusion arise dealing with the spiritual soundness of one's political platform. It's election year, and once again we are faced with the struggle between Republicans and Democrats. Once again, I am deliberating over the merits of our respective parties. A lot of Christians begin looking at the Christian character of our candidates. Pat Robertson in his election drive for the presidency tried to give the im­ age of the Republicans as the party that every good Christian should vote for. At the same time, another t reverend named Jesse Jackson was also attracting people to the Democratic party. Of course, neither of them won the ticket, but the issue of which party God supports is still alive among Christian voters. Some people might get puzzled over this, observing the different view­ points. There's one really landmark slogan circulating around that says that "God is a conservative Republican." This slogan is used by a number of religious Republicans — and for that matter some secularist i Really, the fallacy of any party claiming to be "religiously perfect" is that it has the same problems as any It's good to take a stand on human and civil rights. The belief of all mankind being equal by creation, regardless of race, creed or class is a very Christian attitude.

After all, there is a democracy in America, and there's more to it than just the politics of the party.

Both political par­ ties contain certain good policies, but both of them have shortcomings that would disqualify them as the "divine party."

"I think it iitkl he in that range again this year. It you add $36 to the $94, you'd have $130, about a 5 peicent increase," Trivette said If the postponed increase passed, the athletic fee will increase $5 per student and $12 increase per student in fees and charges related to liquida­ tion of indebtedness for physical education, recreation, and athletic ac­ tivities would be seen. According to Trivette, the liquida­ tion fee was started in the early 1960s when Varsity Gvm was built. Tins $12 increase would accommodate a new $1.3 million addition to the Owen Field House. "It will take $12 to li­ quidate about $700,(XX) over a 10 year period at an estimated interest rate of 7 percent," Tiivette said. "1 think it is a good thing that we have this fee forum. We really believe in full disclosure of fiscal in­ formation for students." Dr. David Mclntire, Vice Chancellor for Student Development According to Trivette, the state will not fund the addition. "The only other kind of funding is this type of fee," he said. The new two story addition will be approximately the size of the existing field house and will be located to the leit of the building. The first floor will be dedicated to sports medicine and all the facilities needed to deal with athletic injuries. The second floor will be office space for the football stall with a large conference room for offfield sessions. I rivette said comparable facilities at other universities within the North Carolina Univeristy system a>e also paid for by student fees. The remain­ ing $6(X),(XX) needed to build the addi­ tion will come from a fund that has accumulated through the years from the liquidation fee. "We have to maintain reserves to protect our debtors who buy bonds. As the debt goes down, you have less reseive requirements. So we're reaching in and taking about $700,(XX) to fund it this way," Trivette said. Mclntire said the $5 increase is for the Athletic Director's operation budget. Trivette said the budget is us­ ed to cover all athletic programs. It is also ptoposed that all meal op­ tions will inctease by $50 each. Trivette said this increase is necessary because the cost of pioviding food had increased. "Labor in f ood Services went up 5 percent this year from a legislative salary increase. We anticipate a salary increase again next year. And then we're seeing (unprepaied) food increase at about 6 peicent a yeat," he added. Trivette said food is sold for more than it costs the university to ptepare it. 1 he profit is used to cover salaiies and utilities. Any money remaining after all bills have been paid goes directly to the food services budget and can result in a smaller inciease in meal option for the following year. Some of the excess money will be used to pay for the new food facility planned for the west side of campus. According to Trivette, the facility will cost roughly $2.8 million. "(A sum of) $1.4 million will be borrowed and paid back with the $12 (from the proposed increase in fees and charges related to liquidation of indebtedness for student health and student facilities). I he other $1.4 million will be paid back from some existing surplus and then we'll delve into the budget," Trivette said. "Had we laid the total burden on the facility and had the food facility had to geneiate enough income to totally pay for the $2.8 million, ob­ viously the cost of food there would have to be so high we couldn't pro­ vide the service," he added. Under the proposed budget, students will pay $10 more next year lor the book ienlal program. "The cost of books is escalating tremen­ dously, almost at a daily rate," Trivette said. According to the bookstore, the average price for a hardback textbook that is part of the rental system is $47.25. Mclntire discussed the subject of the inadequacies of the present Stu­ dent Union Building. "The Student Union building was bulit in 1967 when we had 4,7(X) students at Ap­ palachian. The building is no bigger now that we have ll.'XX) students, plus," Mclntire said. "Pembroke State University just built a new Student Union. They've got, I think, l,8(X) students and their Student Union is almost as big as oitis. It is my contention that we need to be looking towards expanding things like the Student Union because our student body deserves adequate sized facilities," he added. "I think our Student Union is way behind. What we have in the Student Union is fine. It's just way too small, it's inadequate," Mclntire said. He added that il had been estimated to cost $5 million to double the size of the facility, but until the subject is more fully researched, student fees will not be increased to pay for the ad­ dition. Student Health Services fees will not be increased. Senator Jeff Ciuin iai|xed the possibility of increasing the lee students pay for health services to cover increasing medical costs faced nationwide. "Next year, here, I promise you I will be recommending the fee increase for health services for the following year. We are absolutely going to have to have it," Mclntire said. He added that when he makes the recommenda­ tion he will include two options. One would be an across the boaid increase where students would still receive medication free. The other would be to have a smaller increase and to sell medications at cost. "I feel we have a tremendous wastage with the medication right now. Since they (students) don't have to pay for it, a few students will abuSe it. We have some students who will gel three, four or five hundred dollars worth of medication this year that See INCREASES Page 3 Candidates speak at forum By RUSSELL JOHNSON Xppalachian Mall Writer A local candidates forum, spon­ sored by the Watauga County League of Women Voters, was held Tuesday evening at Watauga High School. Tuesday's "Meet-the Candidate forum" was the last of two foiums held before the November 8 elections. All candidates for the State House of Representatives, 40th and 46th Districts, and State Senate, 24th District, were invited to attend. The 40th district State House Democrat incumbents, David Diamont, Judy Hunt and Wade Wilmoth were all present. Opposing candidates from the Repbulican party, Marshall Hall, Paul Huffman and Gene Wilson also participated. David Flaherty Jr., one of three unopposed Republican candidates for the 46th House District and Republican Craig Austin, candidate for the 24th District State Senate, also participated. The 40th House District includes Alleghany, Ashe and Surry Counties, part of Stokes County and most of Watauga County. Included in the 46th House District are Avery, Caldwell and Mitchell Counties, part of Alexander, Burke and Watauga Counties. The candidates were asked to respond to question con­ cerning various issues in­ cluding transportation, education and envirotnental problems facing North Carolina. After moderator Tim Baxter ex­ plained the rules of the forum to the candidates and audience, a question and answer period began. The can­ didates were asked to respond to question concerning various issues in­ cluding transportation, the possibilty of expanding Highway 421 to four lanes, education and enviromental problems facing North Carolina. The forum was broadcast live by WATA, a local AM radio station. After the forum, some candidates were available to speak with members of the audience. The first of the two forums was held on October 24, and all can­ didates for County Commissioner, School Board and Register of Deeds were invited to participate. One com­ missioner from District 1, 3, and 5 will be elected. Democrat Carl Fidler and Republican David Sholar are run­ ning for the District 1 seat. Democrat Clyde Tester and his Republican op­ ponent, James Wilco, are in prusuit of the District 3 seat, and Democrat Harlan O. Greene is running against Republican Phil Smalling for the District 5 seat. The eight School Board candidates running in the non-partisan contest for four seats are Margaret Gragg, Earl Greene, John Hollar, Lee Jackson, Kathy Kirkpartick, Pat Morgan, Earl Petrey. Also Democrat Barry "Butch" Cook is running against Republican incumbent Phyllis Foster for Register of Deeds.

Students| intending to vote absentee ballot| must do so by Friday, November| 4- The voting precincts will openj Tuesday at 6:30 a.m. and close at| According to Director of H'Appy's Social Center, Randy Kelly, students chose the name, Legends, through a process of four separate ballots. The first ballot was printed in The Ap­ palachian but student response was not adequate to substantiate any deci­ sion. Three more ballots were held on separate occasions in H'Appy's. Sevemhundred students responded to the final balloting process and 68 per­ cent indicated they preferred chang­ ing the name to Legends. According to Director of Student Programs, David Robertson, the deci­ sion to change the name of H'Appy's was completely a student decision. "I really applaud Dr. Mclntire (Vice Chancellor of Student Develop­ ment). When A.P.P.S. originally pro­ posed that the name be changed and for him to do it before school started, he decided to take it before students in a number of ways, which he did," Robertson said. "He wanted to leave it to the student government senate to formalize the decison that he would take to Dr. Thomas, and I think that's a real statement about Student Development wanting student input before they make decisions." "We now know that we could have changed it (the name of H'Appy's) before school started. If he (Mclntire) had agreed we would have gone with that and we might not have had the support of the students. We now know we do and it makes it more fun because we know students were ready for a change," Robertson added. Members of A.P.P.S. executive council suggested that a name change coincide with the remodeling of H'Appy's. The remodeling was com­ pleted three days before the fall semester began. Other names were considered for the face-lift of H'Ap py's including Daddy's Money. Legends was the final choice for the name change, chosen because it sup­ posedly reflects the new atmosphere of H'Appy's. Large paintings of various rock legends decorate the in­ terior wall of the redesigned facility. H'Appy's is operated by students who work together with Student Pro­ grams and the Director of H'Appy's, Randy Kelly. "A lot of people still don't realize that H'Appy's is run by students. I'm the only non-student there. The bands that are picked are picked by students. I negotiate the contracts to get them the best deal and if I hear about other bands that are doing real well in college markets around the area I'll bring it to their attention," Kelly said. "No other campus in the southeast United States has a night club doing regional and national entertainment on a weekly basis. And getting money from the administration to do this is pretty neat," Kelly added. President of A.P.P.S., Lane Newsome expressed his support for the name change. "I feel that it's going to take something like this to get upperclassmen back. H'Appy's looks a lot better than it did last year. I hope the name change and the whole new at­ mosphere will bring them back," Newsome said. �THt APPALACHIAN. THURSOA Y.

If they (N.C. Legislature) authorize us to do that, next year we would begin the design on that first deck. The increase (in parking fees) we had from $30 to $50 last year was designed to build a reserve towards that first deck.... We don't anticipate an in­ crease (in parking fees) next year." Melntire said there were two possi­ ble sites for the deck. One possibility is the ravine between Justice and Gardner residence halls. The other location is beside the Industrial Arts building. In either case, a ravine would need to be filled in to allow for the construction.

If you were there, then you probably saw two shockingly good shows — one by a band with a completely different ap­ proach to music and how to perform it, and the other being another stun­ ning performance by Brad, Janet, Frank N Furter, and Rocky. Hundreds of people came decked out in their witching-hour finest — ranging anywhere from killer bees to corpses — but none could match the magnitude of Fear and Loathing's costume. They came as Kiss! Com­ plete with flashpots, full makeup, and a huge Kiss logo in back of them, the band started off with Kiss' tune, "Detroit Rock City." Most other songs were originals, having in­ fluences from all over the place. If the music can be thrown into a category, it would be something like heavymetal/punk/funk with a hardcore edge. As you can imagine, a mainstream audience would find this a bit hard to swallow, especially when incorporated with the group's themes of sex, violence, and rebellion. One only had to look up and see lead singer/guitarist Carsten Schroeder sliding his tongue across his guitar neck to grasp full understanding of these concepts.

It all seems nice at first, but gradually poor Brad and Janet get absorbed by this motleygroup. Suddenly, Riff-Raff, long believed to be the butler, emerges as the leader of an operation to take the whole group, including Brad and Janet, back to their home planet of Transylvania. In the ensuing chaos, Frank N Furter gets killed, and the castle, with all its previous content, takes off. Look for symbolism in that if you want to. The movie's attraction for the au­ dience lies in its inherently bad pro­ duction and silly, overacted dialogue. This leaves the film wide open for the audience to ridicule its every line, gaffe, and scene change. During a rain scene, audience members squirt water, holding papers over their heads. At the mention of the word "toast," people throw toast at the screen. Occassional offensive remarks are made toward the no-necked nar­ rator. In a place like ASU, where many people from different places converge in one spot, bringing their respective Rocky customs with them, one would expect a non-stop shouting match for two solid hours. So if you thought Halloween was just for little brats who nag grown­ ups for candy and inflict property damage on those who don't give enough, this past weekend at H'Appy's may have proved that Halloween can be the college student's favorite holiday.

HOLLOWELL Diversions K.dilor Comedian Steven Wright stumped his audience in Farthing Auditorium when he asked "What's another word for thesarus?" And so it went. Wright entertained a sellout crowd when he came to ASU October 26. A.P.P.S is responsible for bringing "the funniest man in America" to campus. Wright's performance was superb. His trademark quick, one-liners that keep the audience laughing explored aspects of human life from the bizarre to the just plain silly. "I bought a decaffeinated coffee table." Although at times Wright's mumbl­ ing style of talking made it difficult to hear him clearly, his act was smooth. Even his old jokes seemed fresh. There was some speculation that Wright might be involved with drugs again after kicking his habit, and this might negatively affect his perfor­ mance. There were a few lapses dur- It's these simple topics looked at in a different way that makes Wright so appealing. ing the show that might point to drug use, but more than likely, the pauses were for dramatic effect. The lapses actually called more attention to Wright as people waited for his next line. Wright's brand of comedy is par­ ticularly innovative, even though he talks about everyday, mundane things. Wright takes ordinary topics that we take for granted and turns them inside out for a closer examina­ tion. It's these simple topics looked at in a different way that makes Wright so appealing. His jokes about being stopped by a policeman drew a great reponse from the crowd. "A cop pulled me and said 'Don't you know the speed limit is 55 miles an hour?' 1 said 'Yes, but I don't plan to be out that long.'" At one point Wright silenced a heckler by whispering into the microphone, "Sssh! Or I'll kill you!" He also questioned the morals of the audience, "You're applauding me kicking a baby on stage." Camper Van Beethoven's album By VINNIE VAN HALITOSIS Appalachian Staff Writer 10 ' ing all the makeup that was worn. Fear and Loathing sports a refreshing band of theatrics and music, something that no other band around has capitalized on. There have been good live performers, but Fear and Loathing is among the first to realize that there is more to live music than meets the ear. In the past, the band has set up fascinating visual displays. In a recent concert at The Pub, they ran conceptual videotapes which were parallel to the themes of the music. (One can imagine what they must have looked like.) For this concert, the band employed colored lighting and flashpots, and the bass player even had an axe-like bass which resembled Gene Simmon's. For a weirder-than-average Halloween weekend, Fear and Loathing were the perfect band to watch. And what Halloween at ASU would be official without the annual showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show? It would be like Christmas without Miracle on 34th Street, or worse. For those who haven't seen the movie. Rocky Horror is basically about a young couple, Brad and Janet, who have just been married and are on their way to their honey­ moon when their car blows a tire. The nearest place is a spooky-looking cas­ tle, and they go to it in search of a phone. Naturally, they never find a phone, because the movie would end right there if they did. Inside the cas­ tle they find a strange group of people who do a bizarre dance called the "Time Warp," and discover the owner of the castle, the transvestite, Dr. Frank N Furter. He invites them i "How do I know when it's love..." sings our beloved, blond bombshell-type Sammy Hagar. Since everyone isn't fortunate enough to share Sammy's experience and interest with affairs of the heart, there is a need for bands who don't really care but love Sammy anyway. One of those so-called "pro-Sam is a ham" bands is Camper Van Beethoven, who call Santa Cruz, California home. Santa Cruz is a small college town that spawned such musical genius as the Doobie Brothers. That's right, you bunch of butt-faced grapefruit lovers, the same band who responsibly rocked Roger and Rerun. The people of Santa Cruz boast of not having shopping malls and high-rises. This anti-urban men­ tality might help you understand Camper Van Beethoven's own mashpotato mentality. A mentality that by confession, developed in opposition to down-and-out VU/Stooges ripoffs who are a dime a dozen. Santa Cruz is two hours from Frisco and six away from L.A., perhaps it's a living, breathing version of Mr. E. Bolash's theory on small towns breeding bands. Instead of playing big city dives, the Campers played for friends in Santa Cruz, where they started their own Pitch-ATent Records funded through "an independently wealthy cowboy/opera singer" they met on the street. Sounds like one big, monumental and fateful cartoon to me. Anyhow, pull up a chair and dig their latest album, Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart. This is the Camper's debut major label (Virgin) release and is as quirky, warped, catchy and humorous as their previous efforts. I'm sure many an old fan was quick to dismiss it, call their poor moms and shout "sell out" repeatedly. Not this Bob Barker wor­ shipper, Our Beloved. . . is a swell record that utilizes the booty behind big-time production. Pick a side, any side, and listen to these guys do their thang. Fortunately for you mathematical genuises, this album only has two sides. I'm starting with side two because I gotta do it for Johnny. 'Waka' is an up-tempo instrumen­ tal that features some lean, mean, green guitaring. It's very picturesque of what the Campers sound like live. The waning playing of guitarists Greg Lisher and David Lowery keep this song ever-changing and vigorous. An excellent choice to begin with due to its feel, which by the way is very similar to going a day without underwear. Try it, you'll like it. As soon as you've gained your senses, 'Change Your Mind' comes into focus. A number that evolves around the multi-talented Johnathan Segal, who contributes the subtle mandolin and fiddle. Throw in some trumpet and you get genuine oom-papa. The contrast of these first two dit­ ties gives one an idea why eclecticity is Camper Van Beethoven's middle name. These zany guys are also notorious for their ability for writing pop. Pop is a nice guy who wishes the best for everyone. 'My Path Belated' is nothing but pure, pasta pop. Everything from drums to backup singing is geared to keep even the noisiest of noise mongers tapping their textured toes. By God, by gumby, these fellers have got it together. Throw in some swirly, burly, curly organ and you got yourself an interlude, Camper style. Images of Mario (from Super Mario Bros, fame) and a monkey friend float through my hedonistic head (look under ORGAN grinder). 'Never Go Back' was first released on the '87 compila­ tion EP "Vampire Can Mating Oven." Using three guitars, the Campers are sounding more like their older material. Words of wisdom are offered here in supreme fashion and for free. The guitar work in this one makes it one of my faves. Oh my gawd, it's another topsy­ turvy tune that just won't let you put a finger on it. The instrumental 'The Fool' laughs at you in your face and throws in the kitchen sink for good measure. Evolving around the Camper's ethnic feel for time, the floating keyboards and definitive Eastern guitars take you up the nose with a rubber hose. An anti-climactic ending leads straight into 'Tania,' a silly (gulp x 2) love song. A song that changes directions numerous times and ends with a bonafide crescendo. 'Life is Grand' ends the album and how. This gem of gyration is perfect for presenting the Campers' outlook and fun-for-all attitude. In a very straightforward manner, they say "Hey, look at us, but don't expect any dark forebodings in our songs." Forebodings that have become cliche to the point of humor. Hey, le dude, let's have a "put on some black clothes and talk about how life sucks" party. Next. 'Eye of Fatima (pt.l)' kicks off side one like your momma on her favorite Harley. The dueling guitars are undeniable and essential in seeing that this playing is perhaps the most original since NY's Sonic Youth. The Campers have been known to cover SY's 'I Love Her All The Time' on any given night. 'Eye of Fatima (pt.2)' begins with muchos acoustic playing, featuring some red hot man­ dolin. Wham, bam, thank you mammouth rock, before you know it some big bass hits you upside the head. Bassist Victor Krummenacher has obviously been enrolled in John Paul Jones Bass 101 for quite some time. Wright stayed away from politics and-religion, and dirty words. He did get in one joke about the presidential candidates which drew equal applause and booing from the politically sen­ sitive audience. At one point Wright silenced a heckler by whispering into the microphone, "Sssh! Or I'll kill vou!" Wright's opening act, James Lee Stanley, also refrained from political humor and instead concentrated on relationships. From his stroll on stage to announce himself as the opening act to the end of his <dttqw„ Stanley put on a class act. He rightly-guessed the crowd was unaware of an opening act, but he soon gained respect with his unique style. Stanley contrasted witty jokes with poetic, serious songs on his acoustic guitar. By building each song with cracks, (he audience might hate ex­ pected a Weird Al Yankovic ballad. Instead when he began the "songs with a message" the effect was dazzl­ ing. Stanley's description of the correct way to upholster a bathroom with shag carpeting was the best part of his act. Both comedians put on a terrific show and the audience is probably still remembering, "The first time I read the dictionary, I though it was a poem about everything." The Wailers reggae By TODD SMITH special lo l he Vppalachian On Saturday, November 5, reggae is coming to ASU. When you hear the word reggae, one artist comes to mind—Bob Mariey and the Wailers. Unfortunate­ ly, Marley died of cancer, but his music and spirit lives on in his band. The Wailers. The band was formed in 1969 and is regarded as the Tnird World's first superstar band. "It was the fans who taught me to play reggae." AI Anderson Lead Guitarist Eight world-ranking musicians form the Wailers, five original members and three new members. Asten "Familyman" Barrett has always been the head of the band. Barrett plays bass with a sense of in­ novation and determination. Barrett has never had any formal training in music; he relies solely on his keen sense of rythm. He is attributed to having worked on the finest songs ever put together by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Donald "Junior Marvin" Kerr (vocals and guitar) came into the Wailers in 1977. When introduced to Marley, Marley detected a streak of Jimi Hendrix in Marvin's style. This was all Marley needed to hear, and Marvin was admitted to the Wailers. Marvin played lead guitar on five albums and had solos on several other albums. Al Anderson (lead guitarist) was asked to join the Wailers in 1974. "I was in a funny position. 1 was the Yank-thc American guv messing up the music by playing loud. It was the fans who taught me to play reg­ gae." Anderson said. Music experts contend "his definitive solos have become the stan­ dard by which all reggae solos are juged." Earl "Wira" Lindo joined the group in 1972 when he was still in school. He left the group to start a solo career with his peers calling him a genius with "a brooding, organic melodic sensibility." He rejoined the Wailers in 1975 with his music easily matching the Wailers. Irwin "Carrot" Jarrett (percus­ sion) believes in physcial fitness to the fullest, and he uses this energy on stage to explore his emotions through percussion. Now on their own, the H a Hers are out to spread their reggae influence fur­ ther. The other three musicians are Owen "Dreadie" Reid on guitar, Michael Richards on drums and Martin Batiste on the keyboards. Together these eight musicians encompass one of the most influential reggae groups. Now on their own, the Wailers are out to spread their reggae influence further. If you want to share in this reggae experience now is your chance See reggae at its best with the Wailers The Wailers play at H'Appy's on Saturday, November 5. Doors open at 8:30 pm.

The contest got started twelve years ago when the Mountaineer Club set up a small competition right in the club. There were no women at this first competition, and not all that many men. The next year the contest moved to Whitener Auditorium, where, according to Mattox, there was a light hanging from the ceiling as a spotlight, a portable sound system and a crowd of people lined up along the walls watching. Eventually the contest moved to Farthing. Last year there were 1,100 spectators enjoying the show. Appalachian Slaff Writer More to Settle than just a football player Every Sunday afternoon my eyes are glued to the television set to watch this week's professional foot ball games. This week it was different, I was there. Let me start from the beginnig- I decided to do a story on Johi Settle so I called the Atlanta Falcons and got a press pass for their game against the L.A. Rams On Thursday before the game, I went out to Suwanee, Ga. where the team holds their practices. Alter practice was over I had a nice interview with John. 1 started to leave when a television station stopped me and asked me about John and Appalachian State. Soon there will be men and women posing in Farthing Auditorium to determine just who has the best body. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? The ninth annual Mr. & Mrs. Mountaineer Body Building Cham­ pionship will take place on November 5. There will be a pre-judging at 9:30 am and the evening show will take place at 7:30 pm. Tickets to the pre­ judging are $3, and for the evening show $7. The contest is sponsored by the Mountaineer Health Club and FCA. Contestants can compete in three dif­ ferent divisions, the men's junior, the men's open, and the ladies open. Last year's winner was Jodie Knox for the ladies open, who trained at the Moun­ taineer Club, and the winner for the men's open, Trev Euliss. It's difficult to say how large a turnout the contest will have this year, but last year there were 69 par­ ticipants, with 27 of them women. Contestants come from all around — Raleigh, Greensboro, Asheville, as well as contestants from Boone. According to Dan Mattox from the Mountaineer Club, Boone is one of Rushing As I descended into the tunnel 1 could not believe I was about to walk onto the field; through the dugout, up the stairs and onto the field of the Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. Passing The field was in horrible shape. Turf had been placed down where Ihe Braves had their infield. I went over and talked to Chris Miller and Gerald Riggs to see when they would return from injuries. John finally came on the field tuid I walked over and talked to mm. He seemed really excited and ready to get Atlanta their second win of the season. After I was told 1 couldn't stand up for the whole game I was kind of disappointed but still excited that 1 »as on the field. Several of the contestants are ASU students and the contest should be very entertaining. So get off the couch and go see what other people do in their free time. Defense Western's defense gives up big yardage. And with yardage comes points, the Catamounts are giving up over 26 points a game. If the Apps can't exploit this defense they don't deserve to win. Appalachian lineman Jimmy Snowden is having an All-American season. If last week's game is any indication, "the Snowman" is on a roll. The ASU defense is slowly healing from injuries. Joe Spikes, Chris Conner and Keith Collins should be near 100 percent. If the Mountaineer defense can put together a complete game similar to the first half played against Marshall, Western is in trouble. ASU's defense has showed great im­ provement in the last several games and a lot of the App's post-season hopes depend on the play of the defense. Kicking Last year this would have been a battle of the two best kickers, Bjorn Nittmo and Kirk Roach, in the conference. Saturday, however, there will be no Roach due to graduation. Nittmo is not having anything near an All-American year. He's missed a couple of PATs and has not had the con­ sistency he enjoyed last year. But he still-is a guy who can be the difference in any ballgame. Punters Tony Cox of ASU and An­ thony Bare of Western both averaged nearly 40 yards a boot last year and are having good seasons in '88. Intangibies Both of these teams are banged up. While the Mountaineers are beginning to heal, Western might have trouble fielding a team. But seriously, the Catamounts' starting lineup doesn't even resemble the pre season depth chart. ASU cannot afford a letdown Saturday. Western is playing with little confidence so the Apps need to send them a message early in the game. The longer this one stays close, the better Western will play. From here on out, a playoff birth is on the line for ASU. The Mountaineers not only need to win, they need to win impressively and if they play to their potential, they should. ASU vs WESTERN CAROLINA I told them what a geat runner he was and how ASU was going to win the national championship this year After being interviewed, 1 walked into the Falcons' office and picked up my press pass. I read the letter inside and it said to be at the game at II am for the pre-game meal. I arrived at the game on time to eat my pre-game meal with my assistant Charles. After the meal 1 walked toward the field. As 1 walked out of the vistor's locker room I passed the cars of Ted Turner, Bobby Cox and of course, the big Lincoln of Radkin Smith, owner of the Falcons. Body building has become a popular sport. It has been around a long time. When asked how people get interested in body building, Mat­ tox said, "I think a lot of people will begin to come to the gym to tone up, lose a few pounds. In a short period of time they realize they have a poten­ tial for gaining size and shape. If you like something and are good at it you tend to put more effort into it." HOW THEY STACK UP CATEGORY w •M COMMENT ADVANTAGE The key to an Appalachian win, with Bobby Fuller listed as doubtful, will be whether or not the running game is a success. Last week at Marshall, the App running game was pro­ bably more productive than expected against a stiff Herd defense. Ritchie Melchor rushed for 55 yards on eight carries, Kevin Armstrong gained 26 yards and senior Kenny Dawson tallied 18 yards. The Mountaineers will need this same kind of consistency against the Catamounts. Look for ASU's backs to be tak­ ing extra care of the pigskin after last week's big turnover. For Western, any offense is better than none. The Catamounts are reeling from a 31-0 shutout at the hands of Furman and have lost four out of their last five games. Sophomore tailback Darryl Jackson is out so Carlton Terry will lead the Western ground attack. Without Fuller, neither team has a clear ad­ vantage at quarterback. Redshiit freshman Lance Redding will get the start for the Moun­ taineers. Last week, Redding started the se­ cond half when Fuller was unable to continue (bruised shoulder). The freshman went six of 15 for 77 yards, but was intercepted twice. With all the pressure of the Marshall game off, look for a more relaxed and effective Redding. App receivers have started to make the big plays. Joe Briggs, Sam Wesley and Nate Young all had big gainers against Mar­ shall. Western has two quarterbacks capable of moving the ball. Mike Smith will get the start but don't be surprised to see junior Todd Cottrell if Smith is unable to produce. Tight end John Reed (6'5", 218) is the favorite target for either QB. EVEN The Appalachian State football team will try to get back on track this Saturday when they host the Catamounts of Western Carolina. The Mountaineers are currently battling for a spot in the Division 1-AA National Playoffs. There are 16 teams allowed to compete in the post-season tournament and ironically, the Apps are presently ranked 16th in-the last Div. 1-AA poll. i»l!| "When Western and Ap­ palachian get together it doesn't matter what !he 'records of the two teams are. This is a very emo­ tional game for both teams every year. A lot of pride is on the line in an ASU-Western game and this one is no different," ASU Headcoach Sparky Woods said. The Catamount's headcoach, Bob Waters agrees, "Western Carolina-Appalachian State games are always special, regardless of records. I know I always get more excited about this game than the others on our schedule. If you play for Western Carolina and can't get fired up to play Appalachian, you need psychiatric help," he said. The kickoff is set for 1:30 in Kidd Brewer Stadium. This is ASU's last scheduled home game, so get out and support the black and gold!

O'FLAHERTY Editor ANNKTTK BRANDI L, Imagine the setting... You've finally got a date with the girl you'd thought for sure would say no and you're at her apartment after a fun night out. Everything is going much loo perfectly. She starts to play soft music on the stereo and casually announces that her roommates went home for the weekend. Copy Editor HKATHKR HARTMH,. Editorial Pmt/iH tion Manager Advertising Production Manager TURKS A CHALK, Community needs to exercise right to vote According to the Watauga County Board of Elections, 25,485 residents of our county have registered to vote out of a total population of 34,926. This is an impressive statistic; however, how many of these registered voters will actually participate in the voting process? Hits year, SGA sponsored a student voter registration drive which attracted 960 new student voters. According to SGA State Affairs Director Steve Yost, 50-55 percent of those students registered Republican, 40 percent Democrat and the remaining were unaffiliated. The thought goes through your mind, "This is going to be even easier than last week." That's when you were out with another girl and spent nearly half-an-hour dropping hints that you didn't just bring her back to your apartment to talk. Then she had the nerve to laugh at you when you started to use a condom. But after telling her about the article in The Appulachian recently that spoke of "safe and responsible sex" she appreciated your concern for the both of you. Suddenly another thought flashes through your mind. "OH NO! I DON'T HAVE MY CONDOMS WITH ME! They're back at my apartment." After debating in your mind as to whether or not to ask your date if she has AIDS or any other sexually transmitted disease, you remember there might be a spare condom in It's the '80s, alright—the decade when the AIDS epidemic started, possibly a result of the extrapermissiveness of the last generation. Now, we're in the age of the condom gospel (which says "If it feels good do it, carefully"). Talk about being religious though, one has to be religiously faithful to carry their con­ doms with them in order to use them religiously!

So, the best protection from STD's is not a condom but remaining chaste. Yes, that means abstaining from sex­ ual intercourse until marriage. As mentioned briefly before, this idea should have more of an appeal in the '80s with the wide spread of the deadly disease AIDS. Even without this threat, there are other reasons for abstaining until a full commitment is made. One is that many say waiting until marriage makes for a better relation­ ship. In fact, in a debate dealing with the playboy philosophy, a spokesman for Playboy said that people "have discovered that it's more pleasurable, it's more enjoyable, it's more fulfill­ ing within the context of a good car­ ing relationship." The best kind of caring relationship that I know of for sex is in marriage. But, to hear some people talk, one would think that sex is the only union between a man and a woman. Not to mention, how the true meaning of love is thrown out the window. Few realize that loving someone is not just having sex with them. Sex was meant to be a part of the loving context of marriage, but people have separated it as a means unto itself and made it the primary goal. I could babble on about what I think and what various researchers say, but I'll be loving and abstain. Instead, let me leave you with a quote to think about next time you're out on a date. It's from C.S. Lewis, a famous English writer who was an atheist at one time: The Christian attitude does not mean that there is anything wrong about sexual pleasure, any more than about the pleasure of eating. It means that you must not isolate that pleasure and try to get it by itself, any more than you ought to try to get the pleasures of taste without swallowing and digesting, by chewing things and spitting them out again. ! know nothing about, but all / can do is pray that you change your mind before the Judg­ ment.

However I have certain difficulties with some of the statements you made concerning my article—and on a more personal note—my integrity as a human being. You have accused me of being, and I quote—"simple-minded" and of knowing nothing about Christianity. You have assumed a greal deal about me based on the reading of my article on Fundamentalist Christianity. To call me simple-minded, 1 can deal with that, you have the right to your opinion, it's your accusing me of being ignorant about Christianity that concerns me. Christianity is the religion based on the teachings of Jesus, who was— based on the Second College Edition of the American Heritage Diction­ ary—the "founder of Christianity, regarded by Christians as the son of God and the Messiah," or to quote Mary Baker Eddy, an American religious leader and founder of Chris­ tian Science and The Christian Science Monitor, the "highest huma. corporeal concept of the divine idea." Idealistically, Christianity would base itself on the concept of the divine idea and not the alleged son of God. What do I know about Chris­ tianity? I know that a multitude of killings have occurred in Christ's name. In 1096 the first crusade wqs launched by Pope Urban II. Many innocent Jews and Muslims were massacred in the name of Christ. The Crusades continued off and on into the 15 century, though by then the Crusades had become a mere power tool of politics. (Sound familiar? See any trends?) As early as 1139 papal documents prescribed imprisonment and con­ fiscation of property as punishment for heresy. This was the beginning of the Inquisition, a medieval church court instituted to seek and prosecute heretics. Heretics, by the way, are people who hold controversial opinions, especially dissension from or the denial of Roman Catholic dogma. Here I would expect you to point out that the Roman Catholics are not Fundamentalist Christians. You are exactly right. Upon reexamination of my article you will see that while I did discuss in brief Christianity—which would include all sects which believe See FUNDAMENTALISTS Page 12 ©1988 Lift itj -H-EIL BVMAif ^ G&P-EM IM 6 C+bfrpTeft. If HOW T O WHENtiOUB PAGenTT? S(\\) A SuPPa^J i-^a-oip kNJObO? Then again, maybe it would be bet­ ter to abstain from sexual intercourse if you're so worried about getting a sexually transmitted disease. Abstinence, you say? Isn't that one of those old religious ideas? After all this is the '80s and the sexual revolution must live on. Forget the fact that condoms are not 100 percent reliable even if they're used properly. What do you really think you'd do if right in the heat of the moment of enjoying each other's company the condom fails. Asking your partner to patiently wait while you change condoms would really add to the 'romantic atmosphere.' Fundamentalists: A retrospective view Regardless of party affiliation, each US citizen should exercise the right to vote. Although candidates may not always appeal to voters, current issues should be carefully examined and the best candidate should be selected. Did you your glove compartment. So, you make up a story about your contact lenses hurting your eyes. You tell your date you need to go to the car for a moment (never mind that you don't wear contacts). You get to your car only to find that your condom has a hole in it! Now all you have to do is take the risk of ruining the evening by trying to convince this girl you hardly know that you'd rather go to your place because you forgot your condom. Maybe it would be easier to ask her if she has AIDS? Appalachian Columnist Copv Editor NKXM.K. PARSONS. SEftifC THE APPALACHIAN. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1988 FOB.

BUT HOW 'Exactly foots OAPOy'sj [SEEP GETy uUSiPE Editorial unjust and unfair To the Editor: I am writing in reponse to the editorial entitled "Internship Pro­ gram A Disservice to ASU Students" which was printed in the Thursday, October 20 issue of The Appalachian. These comments are not directed toward Shelley Kaehr or Mark Williams who had the courage and insight to print a disclaimer at the end of the editorial. My comments are, however, directed to whoever authored this inaccurate character assassinaton on Dr. Dave Mclntire, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs. I have sat back and remained quiet throughout this whole disgusting harangue regarding the in­ ternship program which was in­ augurated in the Spring of '87 to provide a quality technical learning experience for Music or Theatre ma­ jors desiring professional experience with a quality Summer Arts festival. Previous stories have been accurate that Bob Chumbley was intended to be the professor of record and responsible for the academic compo­ nent of this internship. In the spring of 1987 when the in­ ternships were created, Farthing Auditorium was under the manage­ ment of the Office of Student Pro­ grams, which I head. I chaired a search committee consisting of Bob Chumbley, Artistic Director of the "Appalachian Summer," Rich Har­ rison, Manager of Farthing Auditorium and myself for the pur­ pose of selecting the best qualified students to serve as interns for the 1987 edition of "An Applachian Summer." Because the program was conceiv­ ed only a short time prior to inter­ viewing the canidiates, it never oc­ curred to those of us who planned it that high school students might app­ ly of these positions. It did not mat­ ter that Dr. Mclntire's daughter or Dr. Lindsay's son were both outstanding students at Watauga High School who had already earned college credit at ASU prior to their application. We had more applicants than we had positions. I went to Dr. Mclntire to express a concern in which I felt very awkward to the prospect of having to reject my bosses' daughter. I ask­ ed for his advice in how to proceed, given this dilemma. He said my ad­ vice to you is to take the best qualified applicant for the position. So there would be no misunderstan­ ding he further stated that in his mind that would be the full time ASU students, rather than the high school students. At that point we re­ jected (in writing) the two high school students in favor of seven ap­ plicants who had been enrolled full time at ASU or other colleges. During the week immediately pro­ ceeding the beginning of the intern­ ship program, two college students who had signed internship contracts reneged and backed out on their commitments. We were left in a ma­ jor bind at this point and turned to the two local high school students who had originally applied to see if they might still be interested and could help us out of this unfortunate dilemma. At that point, Jodi Mclntire quit a higher paying summer job to take the internship because she was in­ terested in the Arts Management ex­ perience, as well as the graded credit which she (and all interns) had been promised. The editorial erroneously states that this situation "makes one wonder why high school students were given preference over currently enrolled ASU students..." when in fact, Dr. Mclntire specifically directed me to hire the ASU students in favor of his own daughter and the other high school student who had applied. That hard­ ly sounds like nepotism to me and yet no one on your newspaper staff ever bothered to contact me to find out the real truth of this matter prior to writing this editoral. You further state that an incident of this nature leads students to ques­ tion the integrity of administrators. After this, reasonable minds might question The Appalachian's integri­ ty. In fact, I think in this case The Appalachian needs to write an editorial of apology giving it the same space and focus in the newspaper as this totally unfair representation has about this man who has done so much for students at ASU. Neither I, nor any other ad­ ministrators or faculty member, ex­ pect The Appalachian to always be perfect. That would be an unreasonable expectation for an otherwise quality student newpaper See EDITORIAL Page 12 �THF A P P 4 1 ACHIANl THURSDA Y. NOVEMBER 3. 1988 Christian fundamentalist facts To the Editor: This letter is written in response to the column "Fundamentalist Christainity should stop now!" that was published in the October 13, 1988 edition of The Appalachian. Yes, there are some Fundamen­ talist Christians on this campus. In this letter we would like to dispell some of the myths regarding Fun­ damentalist Christianity. By the way, this letter was not written with the purpose to offend anyone, we just want to set the record straight. To begin with let us state a quote by the French philosopher Voltaire, "Sir, if you will converse with me, first define your terms." Therefore, we will comply by defining the word "fundamental," which means: "per­ taining to or constituting a founda­ tion; basic" (Funk & Wagnalls Dic­ tionary). The name "Fundamentalist Christianity" is generated from this definition in that we adhere to the basic priciples of the Bible. Now that everyone knows where we are coming from, we will continue. We will proceed by giving credit where credit is due. Several points made by Mr. Latendresse are valid. Yes, it is scary that only a small percentage of Christians are speak­ ing out. Maybe this is from a lack of boldness or maybe apathy. Yes, there also seems to be a number of Christians who are close-minded and are being blindly lead (ie. t.v. evangelists). Mr. Latendresse is also correct in generally stating that some Christians do tend to isolate themselves from the world and "hang around" with Christians on­ ly. However, one must not stereotype a whole group of people by the actions of a few. This would be passing broad judgements, which is very unfair. Now, let's talk facts. Jesus Christ is a historical fact. By the way, Jesus is also listed in the Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary that was previously cited. He was a man who walked the earth. He ate, slept, worked and on we could go, like any other human being. In fact, there have been more historical writings (excluding the Bi­ ble) about Jesus than Napoleon. What makes Jesus different from any other human is that he is the son of God who died and rose from the dead, proving his love for mankind. Let's continue along this line by talking more facts. The Bible has been proclaimed as the world's greatest collection of writings by many noted literary critics and historians. For someone to call these writings "mindless dribble" is ab­ solutely ludicrous. The Bible is a "how-to manual" about life, just as an algebra book is a "how-to manual" aboutmathematical proper­ ties and equations. The Bible teaches us how a person can best be happy It teaches us how the void in a per­ son's life can be filled with joy. The Bible is like a buried gold mine. It is up to the individual, whether it is left buried and useless, or uncovered and used as a priceless treasure. Now. let's switch channels and talk about the foundation of our country. In his article, Mr. Laten­ dresse says that Fundamentalist Christians are trying to undermine the foundation of this country. We would challenge Mr. Latendresse and anyone else who is interested to study about the founding fathers of this country. We think you would be surprised to find that the majority of these men were devout Christians. Therefore, to state that Fundamen­ talist Christians are undermining the foundations of our country would be contradictory as well as false. After all, why did the Pilgrims leave England and settle America? Despite what many people think, our country used to be a Christian nation. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. The question is whether our country is better off to­ KEEP EXPERIENCE WORKING FOR YOU RE-ELECT PHYLLIS E.

Our enviroment has suffered immeasurably because of this, and other, shameless actions which say to big business "just dump those toxic chemicals wherever you want." George Bush has a lot of nerve to say hs is an enviromentalist. His idea of nature is a well-manicured golf course. And how about all this regional bias? You would think New England was a different country, closely allied with the Soviet Union, to hear these redneck southern conservatives talk about it. The fact is most of the peo­ ple who talk about the liberal nor­ theast have probably never ventured far from their own county. Further more, one of the few ways in which New England is different from the south is in the number and quality of educational institutions. So if these people are so liberal could it be that they are more educated? Ask George Bush, he went to school in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Do you think Ronnnie is going to write a big check for the tab he has run up when he leaves office? No, we will be writing that check ourselves. So what all of this means is that conservatism is currently in fashion in the United States. This is not because the people are bad, just misinformed. But it will come to an end soon. You see, eventually people always see that it is better to help your fellow man than to hate and destroy them. They see that their money hungry "step on the other guy" attitude is in direct conflict with their Christian values. They see that a rich, upper class con­ servative only wants to make the rich and big businesses happy. And what do they do when they start to see through the propaganda? They change. That my friends is what liberalism is all about. » So when you are all tired of the conservative idea of "standing still," you will all vote for a "liberal" and get America moving towards greatness once again.

The Reagan/Bush administration has given huge tax breaks to individuals making over $100,000 per year, as well as reducing corporate taxes. Not only is this ob­ viously unfair, but it puts a huge strain on small business and middle class families to meet the new tax burden placed upon them. I love our system of government and I'd hate to see it overthrown, but if this kind of take from the poor and give to the rich system persists, a revloution is in­ evitable. This conservative attitude of "big business is always right" leads to other problems. The Reagan/Bush administration has made a joke of the Enviromental Protection Agency. The first thing they did after taking sKfS-w mm foil re spending way beyond its means on unnecessary war systems. What all the conservatives seem to forget is that somebody will have to pay that money back eventually. Do you think Ronnnie is going to write a big check for the tab he has run up when he leaves office? No, we will be writing that check ourselves. If this isn't economic "liberalism" then 1 don't know what is. And how about Ronnie Ray-Gun's big military build-up? For all the billions of dollars Reagan has put into the war machine, how many new, working weapon systems have we got? None. What? You mean he has been spending the taxpayers money by the billions in order to do nothing? It would appear so. Oh, but how about star wars, that's new, isn't it? Yeah, ask your Physics professor if it will work. If he/she is a member of the 99 percent majority of scientists in this country who oppose star wars, the he/she will say no.

Computer program accredited By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian Staff W riler The computer science program has recently been accredited by the Computing Science Accreditation Board (CSAB). The program is one of only 65 computer science programs nationwide to receive such an ac­ creditation. The CSAB is the accreditating board of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), one of the two best known organizations for computer scientists. Chairman of the Mathematical Sciences Department Dr. William Paul said the ac­ creditation is auite significant. "Initially this means that we (the com­ puter science program) have been reviewed and our program has been studied by a review team of outside computer science ex­ perts and they have judged our program to be of excellent quality," Paul said. "It will be useful to us in recruiting students and in recruiting faculty, to know that the program is accredited will attract students and faculty alike," he added. ASU and NC State are the only colleges in North Carolina to be accredited out of 65 colleges. According to Paul, the accreditation will mean more to graduates of the ASU com­ puter science program in the years to come. "At this point, there will still be a pretty big demand for computer science majors. We have a lot of recruiters who are looking for qualified majors in computer science," he said. Many of them are recruiting here, and many of the students are receiving very nice paying jobs at this point because there is such a demand," he added. "As the number of graduates increases, they (the recruiters) are going to be more and more selective. They're going to be looking for more students from accredited programs," he also added. The computer science degree program was started in 1978 and was one of the first in North Carolina. ASU has been offering computer science courses for the last 25 years. The program has been kept up to date with the latest advances in computer technology. "In order for it (the program) to be ac­ credited, it has to be very up-to-date, very current and in the mainstream of what is considered to be good computer science to­ day. The programming skills we expect and the equipment we have available are all very current," Paul said. There are three main criteria for a school to receive accreditation. "A curriculum that was solid, covering all aspects of computer programming, am­ ple, adequate and up-to-date machinery available to all students, and the qualifica­ tions of the faculty," Paul said. "We also had to have library holdings and our textbooks had to be appropriate," Paul said. "We had to have administrative support in terms of finances for equipment and so on, and a good working relationship with the other departments." Paul said that a lack of any one of the three would have kept any program from being accredited. According to Paul, the number of graduates from the computer science pro­ gram has now stabilized. "Two or three years ago, 200 freshmen out of 2,000 opted for computer science as their major. Now, about 100 to 120 freshmen select computer science, but half of these drop out during the first two years," Paul said. Paul said there will be a continued need for computer science majors. "Virtually any industry is looking for computer science majors. The textile in­ dustry, for example, has become com­ puterized. Now almost every machine has a computer that measures the efficiency of that machine," he said. "Computers are here to stay, there is no question about it. I think the future is bright for people who want to work at it and become knowledgable about it," he said. "1 think it's going to be far more difficult for people to get the high level positions if they have very minimum backgrounds. As long as there is good, solid background in com­ puter science, the outlook is very good, not only in industry, but also in education," he added Paul is concerned with the growing need for computer science teachers at the col­ legiate level. "Computer scientists are very hard to find at a masters degree or Ph.D. level," he said. He said this is due to the benefits and above average salaries for computer scien­ tists at the entry level in the job market. "The salaries are high enough that many of them are discouraged from doing it (ob­ taining a masters or Ph.D.)," Paul said. ASU's accreditation will benefit students. "It's going to help students in employ­ ment. It's going to help students in advance­ ment. It is going to encourage students to come here because there is no question that it means we have an outstanding program," he added.

According to a report given to committee members, ten areas have been identified as possibly needing change or revision: 1. The correctness in the wording of the document. The proper wording of the final ptoposals. 2. Possible creation of a policing arm for the attorney general's office, primarily concerning elections. 3.

Employers honored By CHRIS EVERHART Special l» The Appalachian The Student Employment Office (SEO) sponsored a luncheon Wednesday, October 26, to honor local employers. The luncheon was held in the east wing of the cafeteria, and employers from 36 businesses attended. "We sponsored the luncheon to recognize and honor employers who have advertised jobs through the SEO in the past year," coordinator of SEO Debbie Thomas said. Thomas feels that student employment is important to the total development of a stu­ dent. "Education comes in a lot of forms, and a work place helps provide an educa­ tional setting for real world experience," Thomas said. Others who attended and spoke at the luncheon were Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Dr. David Melntire and two ASU students. Melntire informed the employers that over 1,600 ASU students have gained employment through the SEO, and through those jobs, student earnings have reached $772,914 from August 1987-August 1988. Melntire also said he has noticed an increasing number of students who work now in order to help pay college expenses. ASU students Scott Marion and Julie Shelby expressed their appreciation to the employers for job opportunities. Marion also said he felt working while going to school helped him mature and become more responsible. Shelby said she came from a big family, and without the cooperation of the SEO and the employers, a college education would have been unattainable. Many of the employers at the luncheon also expressed their appreciation to the ASU students for their reliability. Frederick Coffey, one of the employers present, said it would he hard for his business, Coffey's Restaurant, to function without ASU students. Student dies By JON JIMISON Appalachian News Fditor and LINNEA MARTINSON Assistant News Fditor ASU student Robert Todd Isaacson, 23, died Saturday night in a ear accident near Charlotte. Isaacson, a senior finance major, was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. During his membership, he held many of­ fices and chairmanships, among them the vice-presidency. Isaacson was ad­ ministrative vice-president of the Interfraternity Council and an SGA Senator. Isaacson is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold J. Isaacson of Fayetteville, and one brother. The funeral will be held in Wisconsin. A memorial service will take place Sunday at Grace Lutheran Church, 700 King Street. The ASU Marching Band performed at the Forbush High School Marching Band competition last weekend. They became the first college marching band to be ask­ ed to play at the annual event. When the band performed at the competition, they were the largest one on the field. A goal for the band during competition was to show the high school band members in attendance what can be accomplished through teamwork. Playboy upset Catholics CPS—Administrators at six Catholic col­ leges are outraged that Playboy magazine plans to recruit women at their schools for a pictorial entitled "The Women of the Big East." "We were shocked to learn that they're planning such a feature," St. John's University spokesman Martin Healy said. "Public nudity is against our morals. They will not be permitted on campus." The president of Boston College, Rev. J. Donald Monan, called Playboy "symbolic of the exploitation of American women." At New Jersey's Seton Hall University, spokesman Michael McGraw said the magazine's representatives would also be barred from campus. "We're not support­ ing them because it's not consistent with the teaching of the Catholic church," he said. "We doubt they'll be very successful here. Most of our students who go to school here have strong values." But Playboy spokeswoman Elizabeth Norris said the men's magazine doesn't seek the cooperation of administrators at any of the colleges it visits. "We don't do our interviews on campus. We do them in hotels that are convenient to the students. The administrations should have no part in this." Playboy annually approaches a group of campuses to find college women willing to pose for it in varying states of undress. The magazine then publishes the photos in its September issues under the rubric of "Women of" a certain athletic conference. The Rev. John McGreevy, a Providence spokesman, said he would be surprised if even one student shows up. "Both men and women are incensed about the idea." ministrators.

So I ripped those iheets of paper out of this imitation typewriter that probably dates from ,j,e late 13th century, and tried it <n aeain. Enough rambling. Let's talk about Halloween. When I was a kid, I thought Halloween was about the greatest ihing ever. My mother always had ihesc cute little costumes for me and my little sister Emily. She'd dress us up and we'd go out and hit the neighborhood. One year the lady up ihe street gave out whole Hershey bars Emily and 1 would stop off at the allotted number of houses and collect as much goodies as our parents would allow, and then we would go back home and dump everything out on the living room floor. That was always my favorite part. It was like some sort of trade show. I had this thing about Tootsie Rolls, so I'd kind of eye Emily's and say something like...

"But 1 like Tootsie Rolls," she'd say. "But look how many more candy corns I have than Tootsie Rolls," I'd add. She remained unconvinced. So I'd throw in something else. "How about if I add this peanut butter log?" My mother would overhear that one. She'd come over and check out that peanut butter log. Next to Hershey's with almonds, those are her favorites. "Maybe Emily shouldn't eat that peanut butter log," she'd wonder, might not be good for her." Right, Mom. Dad wasn't quite so subtle. "Hmm, Reese's cup. Think I'll eat that." Eventually, it would end up with me with all the Tootsie Rolls and Lifesavers, and I'd have given away everything with peanut butter, eanut butter is even nastier than candy corns.

If you are like myself, you have grown absolutely sick of hearing about Quentin Compson. Quentin this, Quentin that, in every issue of The Appalachian. In order to spare the newspaper's faithful readers further travail, 1 decided to get to the bottom of the whole Quentin deal by finding out his true identity. The results of my investigation were earthshattering. Monday night, October 10. I managed to conceal myself after hours in the newsroom, with a clear view across the hall to Opinion Page Editor Mark Williams' office. It was about midnight, and the light of a full autumn moon plunging through the window blinds gave the entire room an air of impending danger. 1 had begun to doze off when I heard, com­ ing down the hall, someone whistling "Love Me Tender." I whirled around just in time to see a well-dressed, overweight white man, aged around fifty, sneering at me from behind dark sun glasses monogrammed with the initials "E.P." I gasped as I realized that the King of Rock and Roll had come to turn in his commen­ tary on social parasites. Yes, friends, Quentin Compson, that hunka, hunka burning cynicism, that See See Rider of satire, is the same man who single-handedly con­ quered the popular music scene in the late 1950s and faked his death in 1977 in order to escape the confines of a self-imposed prison called Graceland. As I rushed home with my revela­ tions, in my excitement I dropped my camera and splintered it on the wet pavement, ruining my photographic evidence. But there is other evidence that proves my discovery quite clear­ ly. The parallels between Quentin Compson's former career as the King of Rock and roll and his present career as the editorialist who pisses everybody off are phenomenal. What tipped me off at first was tne subtle hint in Mark Williams' defense of the King's editorial work, in which he states that Compson is "in tune with reality." Clever little fella, that Williams. Furthermore, the indignance and outrage that Elvis caused in the fifties with his pelvis and his adaptations of black music are quite similar to the reactions he received to his offensive views on abortion. Today he is "ignorant" and "slightly off the mark:" thirty years ago he was a "fairy" and "Negrolover." The futility that Quentin expresses in his interview with Shelley Kaehr and his buddy Mark Williams cor­ responds to that of his hit "Kentucky Director of Theatre By DIANNE WALLY Appalachian Slaff Writer Are you interested in theater? Do you enjoy acting in, making props for, or directing plays? If so, you'll probably be seeing a lot of Dr. Susan Cole. She is the Director of Theatre here at ASU. Let me tell you a little about Dr. Cole. She was born in San Franciso, California and grew up in San Carlos, a small town close to where she was born. She received her bachelor's and master's degrees in theatre at Stan­ ford University. When she finished her Masters, her emphasis was on scene design and technical directing. Dr. Cole got a job Bakersfield Col­ lege in California, where she taught for seven years. There she was the scenery, lighting, costume, make-up, and technical director. While one of her colleagues was on leave, she got the chance to direct a play and from then on she became really interested in directing. She decided to further her education at the University of Oregon by earning a doctorate with a concentration in directing and theatre history. Rain," and his thoughts on obsession echo the emotions of "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and "Don't Be Cruel." Quentin says he got his name from a character in a book by William Faulkner, who hails from New Albany, Mississipi. Elvis was born only a few miles away, in Tupelo. Coincidence? I don't think so. I also tried the age-old technique of back-masking, and found cynical messages in some of Elvis' biggest hits. In the song "Teddy Bear," a number one hit for the King in 1958, the backward message "Anybody who ever wants to have an abortion should have one any time for free" is clearly audible. His socially-conscious 1968 hit "In the Ghetto" is pro­ grammed with the message "1 think that we should get a list of all the social parasites and kill them." And the theme to the movie Blue Hawaii, when played backwards, clearly whines "Don't you know what satire is?" Coincidence? I don't think so. Quentin, I think we've gotcha, baby. After some further investiga­ tion, I also discovered that Colonel Tom Parker is preparing to launch an all-out assault on the marketing public. So be the first on your block to own your own velvet Quentin, your Quentin lamps and clocks, and your Quentin pajamas. One thing I'd like to ask the newlyunmasked King. When is the come­ back album? And before I get too sil­ ly I'd like to say that I'm sick, sick, sick of people asking me w ho Quentin Compson is, and sick, sick, sick of hearing conjectures about the whereabouts of the obviouslydeceased Presley. And 1 also want Quentin and Mark to know that Compson's not the only one who can use literary devices. Mine's called COMEDY! Susan Cole atADr. She taught for three years at Keuka in upstate New York. There, Dr. Cole was what she calls a "one person theater program." She began and chaired both the department of theatre and dance and the department of fine arts. Finally, in 1975, Dr. Cole was hired here at ASU to build up the theater program. I know, you're probably thinking "How in the world did someone from California end up teaching in Boone?" Well, after working in New York, Dr. Cole decided she wanted to stay oriMhe east coast and she found out about the opening at ASU. Dr. Cole fell in love with Boone. "When I saw the moun­ tains, I knew this was where I wanted to be," she remarked After 13 years years here at ASU, Dr. Cole is the Director of Theatre which means she administers the theater program and is in charge of the business management for the theater. She also directs plays and teaches several courses, including History of Theatre, Directing, Dramatic Literature and Theatre Management. Her favorite play is Peter Shaffer's Amadeus. She also likes to direct anything by Shakespeare. Dr. Cole lives with her husband and three cats—Pete, Mr. Mistofeles and The Kid. In her spare time (the little bit she has, anyway) she enjoys help­ ing her husband with his business— beekeeping. Even though she is allergic to bees she likes to help with them and with marketing the honey. Dr. Cole's basic philosophy of life is that "life was meant to be enjoyed and my problem is I don't always take time to enjoy it, but my work does give me great plea^qre " 510T The results of the Road Race Moose's omlette Today's recipe is from SGA Vice President Frank "Moose" Callis.

By J SHAVER Appalachian Staff Writer In what was certainly a tabloid day for Boone and ASU, rock legend and redneck god Elvis Presley ran 14 times over in the Other Big Apple Road Race on October 22. Despite controversy over what the correct plural of Elvis is, Presley, all 14 of him, reportedly finished the race. There is no evidence to support one report that Elvis was met by a fly­ ing saucer and taken back to Atlantis by psychic bigfoots at the conclusion of the race. With the race in it's fifth year, this is also the fifth year of costumed par­ ticipation by members of ASU's English department. In the past, thev have run as such things as a centipede, a chain gang. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and the Mouseketeers. Special awards for the first finishers in several categories went to the first staff finishers, Bob Ellerbe and Janice Ashley. The first faculty finishers were Leon Lewis and Chris Loucks. Finishing first among the alumni were John Edmonds and Maureen Balyea. David Savage and Becky Hixon were first among Yosef Club members. The overall men's winner was David Savage, followed by Rich Willis and Gary Ledford. Jodie Mclntire led the women, followed closely by Sandy Powell and Windy Mclntire. Peter Sexton, Mark Cupples and Jintmy l.angston led overall for the men in the walking awards. The women were represented by Carolyn Johnson, Janice Ashley and Martha Addison. Jason Michaels, Allan Cross and Marty Allen took the top spots in the 15 and under division for the boys and Shannon Davis, Christy Culler and Rachel Miller led the girls. With the race in it's fifth year, this is also the fifth year of costumed participation by members of ASU's English department. In the past, they have run as such things as a centipede, a chain gang, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and the Mouseketeers. Sara Yates, Imar Small and Natalie Blank won the women's 16-19 divi­ sion, with Larry Jackson, Patrick Phillips and Bill Baldwin representing the men. The 20-24 division was won by Eric Stine, Mike Matheson and Allen Brooks for the men, with Maureen Balyea, Karen Matheson and Michele Crowe triumphing for the women. Walter Long led the 25-29 year olds, followed by Terry Campbell and John Bauer for the men. Leading the women was Ruth Griffin, Elizabeth Kindall and Darcy Williamsen. Coming in 99, Mary Briscoe was first among women 30-34, followed by Mary Lou Day and Debbie Wilson, who was 135. First for the men in the division was Warren Clark, who preceded Eric Redding and Buddy Thomas. Dominating the 35-39 class were men Lowell Cooke, Dan Williams and Rodney Lee. Winning among the women was Peggy James, Chris Loucks and Betty Lou Gillespie. In the 40-44 class, Carol May, Karen Carmean and Jan White were first, second and third, respectively. Bill Fitch, Keith Yeates and Bobby James led the men of the class. Leon Lewis, Richard Watson and John Boles won the men's 45-49 divi­ sion. Barbara Avant, Franny Bolyea, who placed 206 overall and Thelma McLean won among the women of the age group. Gary Walker dominated the 50-59 group, followed by Jack Norton and Roland Moy for the men and Beth Carrin, Dorothy Sides and Beth Lawrence for the women. Richard Bunner triumphed in the 60 plus category, followed by Jake Smit and Bill McDermott. Faye Motley won the women's division. Karen Carmine, who led among the Presley imitators, said she thought she performed well for someone dead. It was about 1:30 pm on a Saturday and I was hungry. I had just gotten up and walked to the fridge, and opened it to find a piece of partially wrapped dried cheese, an old Jesse Jones hot dog, a half empty box of Matilda Baycoolers, and a dozen fresh eggs. I decided the only thing to do was make an omlette. First, you chop up the hot dog and dried cheese parts. It's good to microwave this to make the cheese moister. Take a bowl and place the hot dog, cheese and eggs in it. Whip it. Put it in a greased frying pan. Fry it on one side then flip it over. You can also make a good omlette from leftover pizza toppings. The cheese and other toppings can be picked off the drying crust the next morning. Add two eggs to the microwaved pizza toppings and prepare the same way as above. Frank "Moose" Callis Choosing a college (CPS)—In what some call the "Chivas Regal Syndrome," a lot of young people apparently believe that the more they pay for college, the bet­ ter the college must be. In a survey trying to find out howstudents choose which college to at­ tend—it also was to mark National Higher Education Week, October 9-15—38 percent of the students poll­ ed agreed that "the higher the tuition costs of a college, the better the quali­ ty of education a student will receive." College officials call the belief the "Chivas Regal Syndrome" after the premuim Scotch whisky, and have us­ ed it to explain why Ivy League and other expensive schools continue to attract so many applicants even as cheaper, academically comparable campuses can't attract enough. Few schools would admit to raising their prices solely to lure snobs. In 1982, George Washington University did adopt a consultant's advice to raise its prices in order to draw ap­ plications from people who ordinarily would go only to more expensive schools, but provoked a spate of bad publicity in the process. The Education Week Survey was not without inconsistencies. Asked why more young people didn't go to college, 48 percent of the students said it was because college was too ex­ pensive. Fifty-four percent of high school juniors and seniors surveyed, however, expected to graduate from college anyway. The poll was commissioned by the Council for Advancement and Sup­ port of Education and conducted August 24 throught September 7 by the Gallup Organizaton. It was based on telephone interviews of persons ag­ ed 13-21. It also found that 67 percent of the students thought availability of par­ ticular courses was "extremely impor­ tant" when selecting a college. Fortyfour percent cited a school's academic reputation and 45 percent said college expenses were crucial deciding fac­ tors. Only 20 percent said a campus' social life or athletic reputation were "were extremely important" to them. Seventy percent also said publicschools offer as good an education as private schools, and 60 percent felt two-year institutions are on a par with four-years schools. �Ti t \r> \ ) VOI I \1Rl R /. /QS'R BOB JORDAN CHAMPION OF EDUCATION There are 8000 legislators in America, Counting all the states and congress.

Va. — A championship team always seems to get a break along the way. Marshall got the break Saturday, when Appalachian State quarterback Bobby Fuller's shoulder was injured keeping him from playing in the se­ cond half. Fuller seemed to be the difference in the first half, throwing touchdown passes of 13 yards to Sam Wesley and 51 yards to Nate Young, but with him on the bench, the Thundering Herd was able to rally from a 20-7 deficit to post a 30-27 victory. "I tried to warm up after halftime and I couldn't," said Fuller, who was 7-of-15 for 165 yards in the first half. "I couldn't follow through." With Fuller out, red-shirt freshman Lance Redding took over the quarterbacking duties and threw intercep­ tions on the Apps' first two posses­ sions of the second half. "It isn't fair to throw Lance into that situation," said ASU coach Sparky Woods. "That was putting a lot of pressure on a young quarterhack. He's gonna be a fine player." The intense Southern Conference clash, which saw the 1 lth-rank (I-AA) Apps on the road against the number two team in the nation, appeared to be ending in a tie when Marshall kicker Dewey Klein booted a 52-yard field goal with 2:39 remaining in the contest to knot the score. ASU returned the ensuing kickoff to its 35-yard line, and after three in­ complete passes, was faced with a fourth-and-10 situation. Instead of settling for the tie, the Mountaineers elected to go for the win, but Redding's pass on fourth down fell incomplete, turning the ball over to Marshall. "We made that decision after the loss to Furman," Woods said. "We had to try and win the game to have a chance at winning the conference." The Apps needed the victory to Democrat stafl photo by JERRY SNOV DREAMS CRUSHED: Appalachian's dreams of a key play of the game came on a fourth and ten third straight Southern Conference title were ended the Apps, coach Sparky Woods elected to go for t by a Marshall field goal with just seconds left. The win instead of an almost sure tie. an incomplete pass, Gregory was sacked to create the third-and-27. But Gregory found Bryant for 20 yards over the middle, and that set up Klein's 52-yarder. ' They've got a lot of good players," Woods said. "I'm sure they'll get far. We gave a lot of effort and played hard enough to win. We just didn't play well enough to win." The first-half socre may have been a bit misleading, as the Apps could have held a bigger lead. Marshall's only scoring drive of the half, capped by a Darby one-yard run, nearly ended in a touchdown for the Apps. In the first quarter, the Thundering 3 cbance 10 pu" °ff a Last weekend in a strong display of offense and defense, the ASU volleyball team defeated Stetson University in the University of Central Florida Invitational. Once again, injuries provided difficulty in the teams' overall playing. But with extra effort, the team pulled through. On Wednesday, October 26, ASU played the Furman Paladins, winning all the matches. In the first match, the l ady Apps dominated the court play. From the beginning, the ASU team played straightforward and consistent volleyball. They played with intensity and their performance tallied a vic­ tory for the Apps. In the second match, the score remained close. With the score 12-12, the crowd sparked enthusiasm in the Lady Apps. Tammy Craig made the score 13-12 with an outstanding spike. Jo Anne Myers served to win the game 15-12. In the third match, Furman was determined to win, but ASU held its own and pulled out another victory. Various injuries continue to bother the team. Tammy Craig received a stress fracture earlier in the season, but it is to heal according to Blankenship. Kim Warren suffers from chronic knee injuries. She has learned how to live with it, though. Despite her various injuries, Warren con­ tinues to block and hit exceptionally well. Holly Ryerse has been boggled with knee injuries also. She is sched­ uled to undergo surgery immediately following the season. "The team's serving has continued to improve with each game," Coach Traci Blankenship said. It has obviously improved their games' offense and defense. ASU has three tough conference games remaining against Furman, Western Carolina and Marshall. ASU has the home court advantage over Marshall. Southern Conference Tour­ nament play begins November 11,12 and 13. To play on Coach Blankenship's team, a player must have talent, of course; but, she must also exuberate leadership ability, quickness and agili­ ty. A good attitude is a definite must for the team. If potential is in the air, Coach Blankenship is more than will­ ing to mold the existing talent. This team is the youngest team in six years here at ASU. Only four players returned, and five new players joined the team.

The team is ranked first in the nation in defensive digs. Kris Zubay is first in the nation in digs and Tammy Craig is seventh. It is not so hard to believe the team's character and talent in the field of volleyball is so exceptional. After all, Blankenship herself is a former ASU volleyball standout. After her collegiate career, her jersey was retired. Her expertise has definitely influenced the team. Senior Kim Warren hates to say goodbye to the "family" she has acquired here at ASU.

"Coach Blankenship offers motivation that allows us to reach our full potential," Craig said. The Lady Apps practice hard and deserve credit. When a mistake is made, Coach Blankenship and the rest of the team disregard it and encourage that person to do better next time, and they do. These players are definitely role models for future players. Coach Blankenship is what a coach should be; fun, energetic, outgoing, demanding, but most of all fair. As a result, the players do their part by being responsive, willing to work together towards the same goal, and most of all, staying friends no matter what^ happens.

Marshall was willing to settle for the tie, considering it entered the con­ test undefeated in the league, but im­ proved to 8-0 and 5-0 in loop play. "They're trying to win the first Southern Conference championship in the history of their school," Woods said. "1 felt sure he would go for the tie. I thought it was the right thing to do." Marshall coach George Chaump seemed equally impressed with Woods' decision to try for the vic­ tory. "They had to win and they were trying to win," Chaump said. "I ad­ mire Coach Woods for playing for the win in that situation." Klein, just a 5-8, 150-pound freshman, was the big man of the day, kicking field goals of 49, 52, and 34 yards. "The hero of the game without a doubt is out little freshman kicker," Chaump said. "It was a great job by him and a great win for us to come back after being down. We took the game right out of the tiger's jaws." The Apps appeared to be well on their way when Redding hit receiver Joe Briggs for a 37-yard touchdown pass with 11:56 to play in the game, putting his team ahead 27-17. But two possessions later, the Herd drove 74 yards and tailback Ron Dar­ by's 11-yard touchdown run closed the lead to 27-24 with 4:40 remaining. The drive was engineered by quarterback John Gregory, who com­ pleted a 21-yard pass to Michael Bryant and hit Bruce Hammond for II yards on third-and-10 down to ASU's 11. Sam Wesley returned the ensuing kickoff to his own 40 for the Moun­ taineers. Marshall had but one timeout remaining, meaning the Apps could end the game with a couple of first downs. But on the first play of the drive, tailback Ritchie Melchor mishandled the pitch and MU nose guard Bill Mendoza recovered on the 37. A holding penalty on Marshall backed the ball up to the 47, and after ASU TAKES ON WESTERN CAROLINA: Ap­ palachian will try to rebound after last week's stunn­ ing loss to Marshall. The Mountaineers will play host to conference-foe Western Carolina this Satur­ day in Boone. The Catamounts are currently 2-6 overall and 1-3 in the Southern Conference. Western is coming off an embarassing shutout loss at the hands of Furman. The game is critical for the Moun­ taineers in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Apps are 5-3 and 3-2 in the conference. It would appear that Appalachian needs to close out the season with wins over Western and UT-Chatanooga. In their 4th year as an official ASU club sport, the Women's Club Soccer Team has come up with one of their best teams ever. This year's team has many newcomers who have brought with them much enthusiasm and talent to an already strong Women's soccer team. The team's record currently stands at 2-2. The wins were against Ander­ son College and UT-Knoxville. The losses were to Methodist College, ranked third in the nation in varsity women's soccer, and to Lees-McRae. Future games this fall will be against Salem College, Andrew College(at home), and UT-Knoxville. This team's annual trip to Georgia was cancelled this year due to scheduling problems. The soccer team will continue to play throughout the winter in various indoor tournaments, and then on to the spring for outdoor competition. President Kathy Healy, Vice Presi­ dent Shelley Oberle, and treasurer/secretary Kim Oberle are the founders and organizers of this year's team. In addition to last year's advisor and coach, Bob Goddard, the team has acquired another coach, Eric Terrill. Terrill is a graduate stu­ dent, also an assistant coach for the men's Soccer Team. One of the main concerns of the Women's Club Soccer Team is to ob­ tain varsity status. "The purpose of the club from the beginning was to obtain varsity status as soon as possible. We've been trying now for four years but we can't seem to convince the school to do it," President Kathy Healy said. "Our roster has increased to 22 players and we have the skill level and ability to compete with any varsity team," she said. "The purpose of the club from the beginning was to obtain varsity status as soon as possible." Kathy Healy Women's Club Soccer Team President One problem for the team is there are not enough Southern Conference teams or a Southern Conference Tournament for them to compete in. The Women's Club Soccer Team is open to anyone who wishes to play. The next home game is against Ander­ son College. Everyone is encouraged to come out and support the team this Sunday at Kidd Brewer Field. Game time is 11:00. �RHE -APPALACHIAN THE APPALACHIAN vJ!"J,^Chian " P"h"Shed everv Tuesdav and Thursday of the academic TKa ""f TrheduM holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes FORl'M letters.

HEATHER HARTSOG, Editorial Production Manager IS TERESA CHALK. Advertising Production Manager Collection policy unfair In accordance with a state policy, the ASU Controller's Office is per­ mitted to withhold money from student temporary checks for on cam­ pus employment. In other words, class fees, traffic violation fees and various other fines can be taken out of student checks if the money is not paid within a certain time period In the rare event that a traffic ticket is successful­ ly appealed, credit will be given to the account According to the ASU Controller's Office, students are given one written.notice about the fee, stating that it must be paid. If it is not paid by the next pay period, the money is deducted from the student's check. The policy is included in the written contract for student temporary positions on campus. This policy is very unfair because the only students who are affected are those with on campus jobs. The policy seems to imply that these students are not credible enough to pay bills on time, and students with ott campus jobs are more reliable. It seems that the UNC school system could develop a better method to encourage students to pay bills rather than treating on campus employees like common criminals. This policy encourages laziness on the part of students who will not ee it necessary to pay bills in a timely fashion because the money will automatically be taken out of their checks. Noise ordinance violates student rights The SGA Off-Campus Affairs Committee is developing amendment proposals to the Noise Ordinance which will be presented to the Boone Town Council by November 29.

HOCO THEy UOEAP THEh, ulPOc sit back, and wait for this article to be printed and start checking my post of­ fice box more often! Let's jump back into reality for a minute, here. I would hope that students at ASU can tell the dif­ ference between fact and opinion. Fact being on the front page and opi­ nion being on the commentary page. I admit some people at the universi­ ty are close-minded and believe their beliefs are correct. However, just because someone's beliefs aren't the same as yours doesn't mean they are wrong. It also doesn't mean that they shouldn't be placed in The Ap­ palachian. It means they shouldn't be presented as fact or even represented as fact; and they aren't. When you read the fine print, it states the beliefs stated on the Opi­ nion Page are not the beliefs of the editors and staff. It would be ab­ solutely great if they wanted me to have their First Union card, but they don't! I personally don't think The Appalachian should be criticized for what they print on the Opinion Page when it is stated that the articles on the page are strictly the opinion of the individual not that of the paper. Let's pretend you run The Ap­ palachian and students want to voice their opinions about world issues, the school and whatever else is on their mind.

See EVERYTHING N There are some people in the world who don't have the common courtesy and intelligence that God (or evolu­ tion) gave a grasshopper. No, I'm not talking about the ASU Administration or security (although I could be). And no, I'm not talking about Reagan or Bush, either. Sadly, I am speaking of some of my fellow ASU students. Last night, as a requirement for a sociology class, 1 went to Farthing Auditorium to hear Mitch Snyder speak. I had personally never heard of the man, but I understood that a movie had been made of his life, and that he was considered to be one of the greatest humanitarians of our time. I was also told he was an advocate for the homeless who ran a shelter in Washington, D.C. Several people also informed me that he was currently on a hunger strike designed to draw the presidential candidates' attention to the plight of the homeless. The man spoke beautifully. He told , about the ever increasing numbers of homeless, and about how many of them were women and children He told everyone about how half of the homeless in this country are veterans one-third from Vietnam. He told ho7 he went out to live with the homeless nimself for an entire winter, living on a 4x4 steam grate. By the end of the presentation I was in awe of the man's obvious concern and dedication and I was sure that everyone present shared my feelings. Wrong, Eric After Snyder had finished speaking he asked if there were any questions or comment5 What fobbed is prob­ ably the most heated debate that Far­ thing Auditorium has seen since the 60s. At first the comments were civil Several questioned, as I did, Snyder's suggestion that we should not pay our taxes. Others commented on Snyder's remark that he would accept no money from the government to run h.s shelter. (Which is the largest in the world, by the way.) But then came the first really stupid comment.

There was one young yuppie who even stood up and said, "Why don't they all just get a job," and then, "Most of em' are ex cons anyway." Well, I would really have to wonder myself why anyone would leave the shelter and food which can be found in prison in order to live like animals on the street. Some people are so misinformed and ignorant; it's truly sad. If you can't tell, I'm mad and so were a lot of other people who were in the auditorium. Furthermore, I am certain that a majority of ASU students would have been offended by these [insert most profane word in your vocabulary here] idiots trying to pass themselves off as serious students. As for those to whom I am speaking, I have only one thing to say to you. If you have no more respect for great men in your life than you exhibited Thursday night, then you won't go very far in life.

College of Business Dean Dr. Paul Combs JSC Legislature candidates speak at By J SHAVER Appalachian Staff Writer North Carolina state senators Wade Wilmoth and Sandy Sands spoke to the Student Senate Tuesday night. Wilmoth, a graduate of Ap­ palachian Stale Teacher's College, a former Boone mayor and local businessman is serving his first term in the state senate. Sands is from Reidsville and is a lawyer, also serving his first term. Wilmoth spoke highly of Ap­ palachian. "You're attending a great school," he said. "I'm proud to be a graduate." Sands mentioned an important local issue in his opening. "There's no one who wants 421 four-laned more than I do," he said. After introductory statements, the two entertained questions. Both are open to negotiation on the question of a gubernatorial veto. "I am willing to listen and consider a veto," Sands said. "It has become an issue for the people," he added. "However, in stu­ dying that, I would also like to look into the question of succession and the appointive powers. If you're go­ ing to change the constitutional pro­ cess of checks and balances, I think all of it should be looked into." "As you know we are the only state in the United States that does not have veto power for the governor," Wilmoth said. He said he might favor the veto in return for legislative ap­ proval of gubernatorial appoint­ ments. "1 don't have a closed mind to it at all," Sands said. The question of pork barrel fun­ ding was raised. "The problem is the definition of what is pork barrel; I think if you get into the broader sense, pork barrel is any money that goes to any particular district," Sands said. "If we're talking general pork bar­ rel, the biggest pork barrel that we have in North Carolina is the highway fund," he said. "That is controlled exclusively by the governor and he can determine which roads get priori­ ty, who gets moved up, who gets mov­ ed down, what roads get paved, what roads do not get paved." "Look at the buildings going up here at Appalachian; look at the in­ creased enrollment at Appalachian. That is some of the same, quote, 'pork barrel' money that Liston Ramsey has gotten for Western Carolina University," Sands added. Wilmoth said that the pork barrel situation used to be very bad in North Carolina. "Basically at that time, Republican legislators could not get pork barrel funds; now, that was wrong," he said. "That's been several years ago. That system has long been done away with," he said. Wilmoth talked about former state representative Dwight Quinn, after whom the Quinn Center is named, as an example of what well-allocated "pork barrel" money can do. "Dwight Quinn's impact is all over this campus," he said. The two are somewhat divided on Senate meeting the issue of a statewide lottery to raise funds. . "As you know we are the only state in the United States that does not have veto power for the governor." — Wade Wilmoth NC State Senator "I am opposed to the lottery," Wilmoth said. "I've heard from a lot of constituents across this district and I'm not telling you that all the people are against the lottery; the point is. I've heard from a lot of people that do not want a lottery in North Carolina." "I am willing to listen; I've heard from people that Wade has heard from, I've heard the other people that say we need the money," Sands said. "We don't want a tax increase and this is a sure source of revenue." "I think I've got to look at it," he said. Sands would like to see a referen­ dum on the issue. "I would not vote to implement a lottery without the people of North Carolina first having an opportunity to vote on it," he said. Sands and Wilmoth both said education deserves better funding.

The game takes place in HuntA?10"' ^est Virginia with kick-off at 1:30 p.m. SU is currently ranked number 11 in the NCAA Division I-AA poll with a record of 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Southern Conference. Marshall's record is 7-0 overall and 4-0 in the conference. At stake is a share of first place in the conference. The game will be a rematch of last year's Division I-AA semi-final game. Tickets are still available until 5 p.m. today. A survey conducted recently by political science professors Dr. Dan German and Dr. Joel Thompson shows that more ASU students intend to vote for Republican candidates than for Democratic candidates in the November 8 election Of 271 students surveyed, 53.7 per­ cent said they intended to vote for Republican Presidential nominee Vice-President George Bush. Democratic nominee Governor Michael Dukakis was the preference of 28.1 of the students. "The results clearly show that the Republicans are winning," German said. The students, who were questioned by senior political science students, were part of a random sample drawn by the Office of Institutional Research. Of the sample, 48.3 percent were male, 51.7 percent were female, and 4.4 percent were black. "This is a very representative sam­ ple of the student body," Thompson said. Republicans led Democrats in every race the students were questioned about with the exception of the At­ torney General race. In that race, Democrat Lacy Thornburg led Republican Sam Wilson. Of the students surveyed who were registered to vote, 45 percent were registered Republican. "The 18-24 age group is, nationally, the most Republican of any age group today," German said. "The majority of ASU students are registered Republican," Thompson said. In the gubernatorial contest, North Carolina Governor Jim Martin led Lieutenant Governor Bob Jordan 50 percent to 23.9 percent among all students surveyed. "Jordan hasn't caught up with Martin on presenting who he is," German said. He added that Martin is conducting one of the largest media campaigns in North Carolina political history. The survey indicates Martin is also attracting more voters from all political groups than other candidates of either party. A majority of those who defined themselves as liberals as well as 50 percent of the blacks surveyed said they intended to vote for Martin. "Martin is trying to make himself more accessible to black voters," Ger­ man said. Both German and Thompson said other factors such as name recogni­ tion contributed to who students said they would vote for. "Martin has greater name recogni­ tion than Jordan," German said. He added the same applies to Lieutenant Governor Candidates Republican Jim Gardner and Democrat Iony Rand. Gardner led Rand among the students surveyed. "Many ot the students simply iden tified with party labels. Without the label, students probably wouldn't have known either of them," Thomp­ son said. Thompson and German agreed that the survey lesults reflected national patterns. "Students today are more concern ed with academic issues such as the economy than students of past generations, who tended to be more concerned about social issues, such as the environment and social justice,' Thompson said. German cited a 1967 survey in which 83 percent of college freshmen surveyed said they were in college to develop a philosophy of life. When college freshmen were asked the same question in 1986, 72 percent indicated they were in college to be financially well-off. A gender gap between men and women has been emerging nationwide since 1984. The ASU survey shows a gender gap also exists here. Women nationwide tend to be more liberal and more likely to be registered Democrat than men. "Women on campus are still sup­ porting Republicans, but less so than men." German said. Sexual assault incidents escalate on campuses nation wide (CPS)—After 16 campus rapes n a six-week period, the Rape treatment Center of Santa Monica I 0sP'lal last week publicly asked colpresidents to step up efforts to riv,ent sexual assualts on students. The report, llol A center issued its ,VFV,M "Sexssau't on Campus: What ColI <~an Do," after treating the 16 men an "inordinate number pro^"'onate to our clientele," Center .".ember Marybeth Roden said. Universities have a responsibility Protect students," she added. w"hi While sexual assaults on the nation's campuses seem to be happen­ ing more frequently, colleges themselves do not know how to pre­ vent them or treat them when they happen, the report stated. . The report cited, as an example, a case in which a rape victim at one col­ lege lived down the hall from her assailant for several weeks after the attack while campus officials ground through their disciplinary procedures. Such insensitivity amounts to " 'revictimizing' the victim," the report said. Other efforts to draw attention to the problem have includ­ ed a shanty built by Indiana Universi­ ty students aimed at convincing administrators to fund a rape crisis center. "Campus is not a safe place, and a crisis center is a valuable system that other universities provide," junior Laurie Nicholson said. This shanty has been torn down six times and vandalized 16 times since it was first built May 7. The structure was almost destroyed in August when somebody threw a homemade fire bomb in it. Some believe the shanty has been vandalized to support Indiana basket­ ball coach Bobby Knight. Knight outraged many Indiana students when he said, "I think if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it." But the shanty, Indiana alumnus Mike Evans said, was built to increase awareness of campus sexual assaults that happened long before Knight's statement. In a 1987 survey of 6,(XX) students at 32 colleges, one in six female students reported being raped during the previous year. The majority of those assaults wete acquaintance rapes in which the victim and the assailant knew each other. In the same study, conducted by University of Arizona researchers, one of every 15 men said he had com­ mitted rape or had attempted rape during the same time period. To stop sexual assault on cam­ puses, the Santa Monica report urges colleges to adopt official policies that condemn sexual assaults, establish procedures to change living quarters when the victim and the alleged assailant live in the same dorm, imple­ ment educational programs about sexual assault, improve security measures and start better programs to treat victims. It is felt that such programs wouldn't be popular. Evans doesn't have high hopes for the rebuilt shan­ ty. "If we keep it up for the first two weeks of school it will be a victory," Fvans said �THE APPAl IC/// YV, THURSDA > . OCTOHTR 27, 1988 Part - time Racism continues to be a problem on campuses (CPS)—On September 18, black student Staheen Murray was chased from the State University of New York at Brockport's campus nightclub by about a dozen white students—most of them members of the wrestling team—wielding bats and clubs and yelling racial insults at him after he had fought with two of the men. Two years ago, in October, 1986, five white University of Massachusetts at Amherst students expressed their frustration about the (CPS)— The part-time job market outcome of a New York Mets-Boston Red Sox World Series game by for college students is booming this beating up a black classmate. fall, placement specialists have Since then, racial tensions have reported in recent weeks. Job boards at schools as varied as spread to campuses nationwide.

"As the (economic) outlook im­ proves," Bohman said, "the employer may be unwilling to add permanent employees, but may be able to hire workers on a temporary basis to see if a job is really needed." Michigan State University Jobs Ad­ ministrator Jane Mimley said some companies like to "test drive" a job by filling it with a student. Other firms are wooing students for more demographic reasons. In Long Beach, Calif., "nobody was applying for jobs (and) I turned to the schools to locate applicants," J.C. Penney's Jo Maxwell said, who added she did so reluctantly because students generally aren't available during her peak Christmas season. Maxwell is not the only one. "There are increases every year" in the number of part-time job offers to students, said California State University-Long Beach placement of­ ficial Tony Hodge. "In New York," Bohman added, "the student population declined 21 percent between 1970 and 1980. There are just fewer college-age workers." The competition for them has helped push up wages and, in some places, left campuses themselves unable to find enough students to fill their own part-time positions. The result has been long lines at cafeterias at the University of Maryland, where food service Direc­ tor Matthew Sheriff complained last week he still had 100 student jobs he could not fill. To win student workers back from higher-paying off-campus employers, Arizona State University raised minimum pay for some jobs to $4.02 per hour, from $3.61, and to $9.22 for some other jobs, student aid of­ ficial Richard Cons said. "The changes are working," Cons added. They haven't worked everywhere. Just three weeks into the year, Iowa State University ran out of workstudy funds because it had tried to cure an on-campus labor shortage by raising work-study pay by 20 percent, ISU administrator Janie Barnett said. The University of New Mexico, moreover, had to cut 200 on-campus work-study jobs because it had to pay students more to compete with offcampus job offers. All of that, of course, tends to be good news for the 4.6 million-some students who, according the a 1984 Carnegie Foundation for the Ad­ vancement of Teaching survey, work part-time. Other, more recent surveys hint that as many as seven out of every 10 collegians — or about 8.4 million peo­ ple — work during the school year, Council of Higher Education member Anne-Marie McCartan said. jobs are abundant Meyer Weinberg stated, ease black students' sense of isolation and alienation. The universities of Florida, Michigan and California-Santa Barbara, Duke University and Penn State, as well as other universities, have sponsored carefully integrated parties and sensitivity sessions to pre­ vent troubles this fall. Such efforts aren't always effec­ tive. 'Minorities are not streaming to UMass even though the university has done a lot of things to make it more appealing," Weinberg said. In August at the University of Mississippi, an unknown arsonist burned down a house that was about to become the first Fraternity Row building ever used by black students. In early October, black University of Texas math major Kenneth Avery filed a complaint against UT-Austin police officers, who detained him because they were looking for "a black man with a briefcase." Murray recounts getting into a scuffle with two wrestling team members after they bumped while dancing at the campus nightclub. Heeding advice to go outside to "cool off," he reportedly heard 15 white students, mostly wrestlers, were looking for him and yelling racial insults. "I'm not prejudiced or anything, but he's black," a resident assistant allegedly said explaining why she initially wouldn't let the fleeing, pan­ icked Murray take refuge in her building. Later, that RA's boyfriend, also a resident advisor, threatened to cut Murray up into pieces. The Stylus, the campus's student paper, interviewed "15 to 20 witnesses" who verified Murray's story of being chased by white students according to Executive Editor Vince Gonzales. The Murray incident was not a racial incident, and it just so happens that one student involved is black and one is white," Brockport spokeswoman Gloria Peterson said. "Friends of one of the students got involved. Wrestlers were never involved. The situation was quickly mediated and everyone went out to dinner and put the situation behind them. The Stylus story was confused. It was a garbled mess,' Peterson said. SUNY officials blamed any campus racial problems on The Stylus, not to student relations. "The story was not accurate," Brockport President John Van de Wetering said. "The incident has become more serious because of the article in The Stilus," Vice President for Student Affairs John McCray Jr. said. "It was a good story. The staff did its homework," Stylus advisor Fred Powell said. Others think officials are blaming the paper as a way to protect the wrestling team and are ignoring minority students' fears to deflect criticism of the university. McCray denies these allegations, saying the incident wasn't serious enough to merit formal discipline and believing it was better solved through mediation. Murray does not agree the incident is solved. He says one of the wrestlers involved remains hostile and that he's still getting telephone threats. "They're not solving anything," president of the Organization of Students of African Descent Yolanda Brisbane said. "Students feel like it was swept under th "What I kn 'Sgv OSAD member m 's Mi> wrestlers am % and that looks like *PVk dones what they di%w In a Student Aff' taken last year a said they thoughT^N problems on CJ X officials initially J!Pus L Stylus access to the t*N Brockport offie,a>n results unscientific of how Brockport stl Many of BroIi H students feel the cam p0«j CamP% them.

Others are more substantial. "Many of the country's major employers — Anheuser-Busch, Mon­ santo, McDonnell Douglas — are located in the St. Louis area," Whitted said. "Employment opportunities with these companies are increasing." "Major" employers trolling the Michigan State campus for students to hire also sometimes bring on students full-time after graduation, MSU's Miller added. Whatever the job, however, everyone seems to want to hire a stu­ dent this fall. Even Cal State-Long Beach senior Ann Thompson who recently started a secretarial service, wants to hire a college student to work with her. "College students," she said, "are glad for a job that accommodates their schedule. They may take less pay (for a flexible job) than another worker." them there," Sands said. "1 have a problem with the career ladder plan; it has some problems." "One is when you get to be so good you become a leading teacher and it takes you out of the classroom; I think the reverse should be true. We need the best teachers in the classroom for the children," he said. "We have to have education as the number one priority in this state," Wilmoth said. "Education is about the key to all your future." In other business, the senate passed a bill supporting the installation of courtesy phones in campus buildings that do not yet have them.

Mark Xatendresse :rayid '% Utij ley'i t •ThR: J8hi # be, Probif. would like to share with you some thoughts which were brought surface after viewing the film rnrillas in the Mist. This was not aPPKl; ;hine. another one of those mindless Viet­ a sem, nam action/adventure films where 'be m, rhuck Norris or Sylvester Stallone u»; defeats the entire North Vietnamese 0c C0)]]j army in less than two hours. No Gorillas in the Mist is a wonderful movie based on the life of Dian Fossey, animal rights advocate extraordinaire. This ncredible American woman faced insurmountable odds to prevent the senseless slaughter of the mountain gorillas (Gorilla gorilla beringei) of Africa .„ . . . What makes gorillas of special interest is their possible link in the evolutionary process of mankind. It is hypothesized—(based on anthropological studies—that these gorillas may have, shared a common heritage with humans. This theory is based on the arboreal tendencies of youngsters and females with infants their terrestrial lifestyle and tenden­ cies to live in family groups. The great apes are close relatives of monkeys and humans, all belonging to the Primate order. Gorillas are the largest living primates and are hreatened with extinction in their natural habitat by various human activities like poaching and trophy hunting. Dian Fossey was extremely instrumental in the setting up of gorilla sanctuaries in Africa. Through her efforts the gorilla col­ onies in Africa are flourishing and are no longer considered to be on the extremely endangered species list. Her efforts should serve as an example to us and inspire us to become more conscious in our attitudes towards other living creatures, great and small. What rights do animals have? Not just the cats and dogs protected by the SPCA, but the gorillas of Africa; the snow leopards and pan da bears of China; the wolves, grizzly bears and eagles of the United States; the whales and dolphins of the sea. Is it our responsibility to protect all which we share our domain with? Humanity has succeeded in bringing various life forms to the edge of extinction. In our attempt to 'civilize" this planet we have severely damaged it. Have we gone too far? Has humanity crossed the point of no return, or can we rectify the wrongs committed in the name of progress. Can we, having recognized our improprieties, get this planet back on an even keel? How do we start? We start by taking an interest in the world around us. Not just Boone, or North Carolina, but the entire world. Greenpeace is concerned with the slaughter of thousands of dolphins • each year by the tuna fish industry, like tuna fish. I like the taste and 'he cost, but I haven't bought any 'una fish in quite some time.

I can't stand them, generally. Ter­ minator and the Aliens movies are real good, though. Halloween is the only mad slasher flick I like. The rest are dreck. "I usually like them," Russell Burtnette said. "Those are usually my favorite type of movies." "1 like the Nightmare on Elm Street series, mainly because of the special effects, plus 1 like the story line," Burtnette said. He said that the humor actually hurt the mood for him. Many of the students interviewed said that a liberal dose of humor improved a movie for them. "I like a bunch of them," Annette Cain said. A Nightmare on Elm Street is real funny; I like it." Burtnette disagrees. "I don't like the ghost or whatever to have humor." House would have been so much better if it hadn't had the comedy in it," he said. "That was a good movie in itself even though it had the comedy parts." "Any scary movie is made better by black humor," Charlie Finks said. "And I think that's one of the best things about Arnie films and Freddy films." "Just last night I saw An American Werewolf in London, which is really good," he said. "It had a lot of great black humor and I think that kind of film helps comic relief immeasurably." There are a great many opinions among students as to which horror movies are the greatest. The Shining. Finks said. "I saw The Shining at l.G. Greer and I just about flipped out; 1 couldn't believe how good it was." "It's not just my favorite horror movie; it's like, definitely in my top 10 of all-time movies," he said. "The cinematography, the camera angles and the way that Stanley Kubrick built the tension and the excitement and the horror of it made it an almost perfect movie; it was incredible." Burtnette agrees that The Shining is great. "One of my all-time favorites," he said. "That had a little of the supernatural in it." But Burtnette has another favorite. "1 think the all-time horror movie was Poltergeist; the story was just great and the special effects were real good." Kim Hall likes many horror movies. "I love the Psycho movies," she said. "I love Stephen King movies." Burtnette enjoys the Psycho movies, too. "Yeah, 1 love those," he said. "The first A Nightmare on Elm Street, A1 Human said. "The fact that Freddy could get you in your dreams, or get you out of your dreams made it scary." "One of the key elements of horror is suspense, and the fact that he can get you at any moment or place is ter­ rifying," Human said. "1 would say that Terminator also has that same element of suspense. Frank N Furter is the transvestite hero from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not your average xiain character from a "horror" flick. Five or six times during the movie, the viewer is convinced that the Ter­ minator is dead, but sure as the world, he comes back," Human said. Finks said he likes Schwartzenegger flicks like Terminator. "Anything with Arnie in it has got something going for it almost immediately," he said. "When you want to see an Arnie film, nothing else will do," he said. " Terminator is amazingly popular." "I love Terminator, I love Arnold Schwartzenegger," Hall said. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a little different from the other horror shows that have attracted ASU students to l.G. Greer, but it's still an important part of Halloween furt. 1955, forget it," Kendyl Linn-Tyson said. "The old ones?" Yes, they're kind of good, like the Afred Hitchcocktype horror movies," Owen said. Owen shares the author's fun­ damental dislike of most mad slasher flicks because he is irritated watching a skinny little nut hacking up grown men who ought to be able to defend themselves. "The only ones I follow that are like them are the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I've seen all of them," he said. "It's not necessarily that they're real good movies, it's just the way Freddy was, I guess; his one-liners, his sarcasm, stuff like that," he added. Owen finds horror movies to often be lacking in quality. Burtnette said he doesn't like the more science-fictional specimens of the genre, such as Terminator and the Alien movies. "I don't like those as much. I like the more, not necessarily realistic, but where it happens on Earth in the present time," he said. "I always liked Alien," John Owen said. "It was pretty scary." There is also a wide range of opin­ ions among students about the amount of explicit blood and gore that belongs in horror movies. "1 think gore movies for the sake of gore, like Friday the 13th, are the lowest form of the art," Finks said. "I saw the first 15 minutes of Hallo­ ween and it was completely shot in the daytime, nobody was trapped in any houses, it was completely out in the open and yet 1 couldn't watch more than the first 15 minutes, 'cause 1 was scared." Burtnette said he is indifferent to excessive blood. "That's fine by me," he said. "1 love really gory movies," Kim Hall said. "I love like, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th; 1 don't like stupid ones, but I really like gory ones." Burtnette said he finds the Friday the 13th series repetitious. "I didn't like those because the story lines were kind of basic," Burtnette said. "They were all the same. I think all of them could be combined into one movie and it would be all right," he said. "I like Poltergeist because the monster is not human, not like Fred­ dy or Jason. I like it when there's no shape," Burtnette said. Some people prefer old movies to the current crop. "Anything after "Some of it can be really generic. Horror movies are mass-produced, because people will go see them no matter how bad they are," Owen said. He said that there is a whole genre, especially zombie movies, that seem too fly-by-night to believe. "Those are the kind that don't make the big screen; they just sort of come out on videotape a couple years later. You rent them because there's nothing else to rent and you just laugh your whole way through," he said. "Some of them actually do make it to the big screen, like I saw the new Blob and did that. That was really bad. It was the kind of thing where you predicted everything five minutes before it happens," Owen said. "Some of them are good and some of them are bad, like any kind of movie," he said. Employers want more than just good grades press him are "strong confidence" and a lot of "outside activities." "I also look to see whether students received good grades in their major," he said. Layman felt bad grades in your major illustrated lack of motiva­ tion. Employers also judge your per­ sonality traits. Lynn Shelton, also of the Dial Corporation, said she looks for someone who is personable, ag­ gressive and can effectively com­ municate their special talents. "How you walk in the door for an interview reveals a lot about a person," Shelton said. "A person By CHRIS EVERHART Special lu the Appalachian A good GPA is not the only thing employers look for. Grades are im­ portant, but employers also are con­ cerned with the total development of the individual. One of the first things employers notice is your personal characteristics like good grooming, manners and eye contact. Employers perceive poor grooming as a lack of professionalism and failure to maintain eye contact in­ dicates a lack of self-confidence. Dial Corporation Manager Mike Layman said two qualities that im­ who walks in with confidence and en­ thusiasm has a better chance for employment because without being happy about yourself, you can't bring anything to us," she said. "How you walk in the door for an interview reveals a lot about a person. —Lynn Shelton Dial Corporation Nancy Jones, student leadership and development specialist, echoed Layman and Shelton's sentiments. Jones said going to school and making good grades isn't enough. "Employers want to know that you are versatile enough to do more than one or two things and be productive," she said. "Co-curricular activities of­ fer that opportunity." "Co-curricular activities are anything that isn't for college credit and complements your classes like professional workshops, campus clubs and intramurals," Jones said. These are the types of "outside ac­ tivities" that Mike Layman and other employers look for. Greg Pope, through the eyes of his roommate By FORREST MACCORMACK Appalachian Slaff Writer GREG POPE IS MY ROOM­ MATE!!! So what, you might say. Well let me give you the lowdown on the situation. DATELINE: Tuesday October 18, 1988— The Appalachian newsroom. I was sitting on the couch cutting up some negatives I processed for my job as the darkroom techni­ cian for the yearbook. Since the darkroom is right across the hall from the newsroom I like to go in there and sit on their comfortable couch and sleeve negatives. Get on with the story you say. OK, I will. It is Tuesday night and I'm in the newsroom and I overheard a conversation between an assistant section editor and a section editor. The assistant was discussing his previous night on the road with his band The Alligators. "So you play in a band?" I said. "My roommate, Greg Pope, plays in The Outer Limits." Upon hearing this the sec­ tion editor immediately asked me to writer an article about Greg. I agreed to write the article depending on how Greg felt about the situation. Greg did not mind at all. So, to start off my interview/article here is some background information on Greg. Greg is from Raleigh and is 20 years old. We both lived in the same neighborhood and went to the same schools in Raleigh. We knew each other growing up but not well enough to call ourselves close friends of any sort. Greg graduated from high school one year ahead of me. I can remember seeing him around Raleigh during my senior year and pondering why he grew his hair so long. 1 later found out that he had joined a band when I came up to ASU last year. 1 thought of him as Greg Pope, sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. I thought wrong. Greg is not your stereotypical rock 'n' roll, heavy metal, bang your head jam-master-of- disaster band member. He is a very dedicated person. His being an RA, taking 16 hours of some honest to goodness "hard" courses, and spend­ ing his spare time and most weekends with the band requires dedication. Greg has talent as a musical per­ former. He plays not only the drums but the bass guitar, lead guitar and some piano. But I think a lot of his talent lies in his ability to write music. Although not many people have heard his songs 1 think they have potential. 1 own a few of his tapes and have come to the conclusion that Greg Pope knows his stuff when it comes to writing up some tunes. I'm not any sort of musical expert but 1 know what I like and 1 like what Greg writes. He has even had one of his songs played by The Outer Limits during some live shows in the past and has hopes of having more of them See POPE Page 5 f4 I'll* \ Greg Pope is a dedicated student, ambitious musician and swell roommate. �THE APPALACHIAN.

In addition, the center provides three computers and the COIN Micro-fiche system. Computer programs such as the Discover program can be used by students who are interested in graduate school. The Discover pro­ gram has a listing of graduate schools and requirements needed for en­ trance. To discover and assess an in­ dividual's needs, Peer Career takes students through a four step process. The first step is self-assessment which looks at one's interests, abilities and experiences. Next, students will review career information; looking at training requirements, work condi­ tions and job outlooks. The third step is decision making as far as choosing a major or career. The fourth and last step is to plan where the student would like to go from there. Volunteer Jennifer Cannon ex­ presses one accomplishment counselors like to see students achieve after visiting Peer Career. "We would like students to have an actual plan when they leave here. And The student turnout thus far for Peer Career has been enormous. The center is located in the upper level of the Student Union beside the Gold Room. Hours are Monday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday 9:00 to 5:00, Thursday 10:00 to 5:00, and Friday 2:00 to 4:00. One important aspect to Peer Career is that it is not a computer career counseling center. In addition, for anyone interested in becoming in­ volved with Peer Career, volunteers are needed and applications are available. Becoming a volunteer can be very rewarding as Cannon has experienc­ ed. "It's great being a volunteer, you get to help people and that is impor­ tant to me. You cannot help everyone, some things just do not work out. But, when you see someone that has made a decision, it gives you a special feeling inside and you know they can be happy in their decision," she said. v Pope the parts."

It's f like a peanut butter and jelly ,ch, the whole is greater than all seem to have the same motivating factor. "We all want to write good music and succeed as a band." The odds are usually stacked against a col­ lege band "making it big" but the members of The Outer Limits con­ tinue to strive for success. "I don't know what the future holds but whether or not something happens for us, we're definitely having fun." Greg is currently a graphic design major. He plans on continuing with the band after graduation. If things don't work out with the band he will pursue a career in graphic design.

Enjoy!! �*TuK APPALACHIAN^ THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1988 DIVERSIONS Charlie Finks A delayed comedian and a last minute blues band added up to a fun night Blues and laughs at Club Candlelight By MARK LATENDRESSE Appalachian Staff Writer I've got some friends who live in Cone Hall. It's fun. Cone has a bit of a reputation for out-of-control young men and these fellows are no exception. They're kind of goofy but they're always good for some laughs. We've found some pretty in­ teresting ways to entertain ourselves the last two years. When times get boring, it is possible to use your im agination and come up with some pretty good ways to have fun. Take last week, for example. My friend, Berkshire Gangrene, told me a young lady had been on the floor and had noticed the unusual way in which he decorated his walls. "Hey, you're the guy 1 read about in the newspaper, aren't you?" she said. Berkshire admitted he was. Oh, I just have to see a seance. Can we have a seance?" she said. Well, Berkshire didn't really want to show her a seance because they're really not that impressive. Just a bunch of guys jumping around chanting "Murray.. .Mur­ ray!" She was persistent, though, so Berkshire decided to really put on a show for her. He set up some story about a guy who died and needed to be brought back to life. With various, well rehearsed people in the room going through the motions, Berkshire sprinkled magic dust, brought forth incantations and spoke in tongues. I, meanwhile, was hiding above the closet with a skeleton mask and cape on. When the seance had reached a fever pitch, I leaped out. Everybody screamed (on cue of course) and I proceeded to run around the room, thanking Murray and everybody else for bringing me back to life. I tell you, I've never seen a girl so horrified. She was so paralyzed with feat all she could manage to say through her quivering lips was "What is this? A joke?" Then she npped my mask off. Well, at least Berkshire and I got kick out of it. Yes, I ve had many interesting evenings over in Cone. One night *e were all sitting around bored, waiting for something to happen. 'he door opened and in walked arry Leviathan. That's not really his name but it fits him. Let's face he's big, bad and ugly. We •gured his arrival would be the start something interesting. What we n t expect to see was the person l ?y' ad brought with him from hack home. Now, Harry Leviathan is a big CLUB CANDLELIGHT: Last Friday night, students warmed up to comedian Wayne Federman (a.k.a. Sleepyhead). This was the second show in A.P.P.S.'s Club Candlelight series. Last Friday night A.P.P.S spruced up the Pub with the second show in the Club Candlelight series. A much delayed headliner taxed the patience of the A.P.P.S members pre­ sent who really pulled together and came through with an evening of splendid entertainment. As a bonus the audience was treated to the talented musical abilities of ASU students Billy Mar­ shall Helms and Robby Vaughn, bill­ ed as "Marshall and Vaughn." I strolled into the pub around 8:45 p.m. and once again was impressed with the decorative efforts by A.P.P.S. Gaily colored balloons for­ ming an arch gave rise to a festive am­ biance, and throughout the room groups of friends chatted and laughed as they waited for the entertainment to begin. I spotted the Assistant Director of Student Programming, Jean Hord and asked if she could ar­ range for me to interview the per­ formers. She introduced me to the opening performer Dave Rudolf. Dave Rudolf, hailing from "Chicagoland" truly exemplifies the professional performer. Scheduled to open for fifteen minutes, this talented singer and comedian kept the au­ dience laughing for over an hour. However, the album's biggest embar­ rassment, "Love for Sale," is on it. This song has Bon Jovi trying to sing the blues. Not only can the band not sing the blues, they can't write 'em either. By JOHN NrCKS Appalachian Staff Writer Bon Jovi's new album, New Jersey, is 11 songs of pure commercial slush that would put Whitney Houston to shame. I picked up the phone I called everyone I could I let my fingers do the walking through the telephone book you can 7 catch a fish If you ain't got the hook. The group was formed in 1982 when Jon Bon Jovi picked a group of musicians to back him up on club tours. Then the unfortunate hap­ pened in 1983: PolyGram records signed the band to a recording con­ tract. It gets worse. I called Lt. Columbo from my TV set I've tried the Dating Game / haven't found her yet I'm hoping that she's looking like a Penthouse pet... you can't slop for love when you 're shopping at Sears. To their credit, the new album has already hit number one on Billboard's album chart and will probably be cer­ tified platinum many times over. Does this mean it's good? No, but this just shows where today's popular music is heading. The plaintiff rests. The first single "Bad Medicine" is a catchy but sickening track that exemplifies what "pretty boy pseudocrotch rock" is all about. Besides sounding like a Poison song, it has lyric such as the following: Your love is like bad medicine bad medicine is what I need shake it up just like bad medicine So let's play doctor, baby Cure my disease PolyGram is billing the album as "their most personal, the one that describes the attitude.. .New This review is going to piss a lot of teeny boppers off, mainly because I've included lyrics that they'll never even listen to. For those who do listen to them, it's easy to see the mentalitylevel the band is trying to appeal to.. or is it the mentality level the band has? Jersey." I hope that it's not their most personal, because it's hard to believe they could actually be as shallow as their album lyrics are. Everything you want is what I need satisfaction guaranteed But the ride don't never, ever come for free if you want me to lay my hands on you lay your hands on me. It seems Jon Bon Jovi is happy if he can make a good rhyme.

The cut "Homebound Train," although it sounds like an early Van Halen rip off, does show some of the band's rock roots. Fortunately, the second side is not quite as commercial as the first. In short, if you're only interested in a catchy beat or have the complete Poison and Europe collection, then 1 recommend that you run out to Record Bar and buy this album as soon as possible. Otherwise, there's enough good music around that you don't have to waste your money on this.

Hord then call­ ed Helms and asked him if "Marshall & Vaughn" were willing to perform some intermission entertainment. With only an half hour to prepare Marshall located his partner, Robby Vaughn. Rushing to get equipment together these two talented in­ dividuals treated the audience to some good 'ol' bluegrass music. Opening with Can't Stop Now, it was quite apparent these two young men had spent considerable time hon­ ing their musical skills. These guys can pick & grin their way right into your hearts, as they did Friday night with Amy, Lovesick Blues and Vaughn's own composition, It's Go­ ing to Rain. Ending their set with Tiger by the Tail they left the crowd wanting more and strolled off stage to a standing ovation. The final act of the evening finally was Wayne Federman, a comedian from Los Angeles. Wayne has ap­ peared on Star Search and In Woody Allen's "Radio Days." He is a talented comedian who started out as a ventriloquist and gradually drifted into stand-up routines. This was Federman's first trip to the Appalchian mountains, and he "New Jersey's" shallow, commercial sound is an embarrassement to Jersey folks no, Cjat around 6 feet and 225 n s, but his friend was scary. monster Rudolf delighted the audience with his musical parodies; "Winnabago Pioneers" and "People's Court" and later sang a parody examining the literacy merit of a grocery store newspaper rag entitled "I read it in The Enquirer." To demonstrate his diversity he amused the audience with his own rap tune, "Rapping Rudolf" bringing a new approach to the old Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer Christmas song. Dave conducted a sing-along for us cold weather in­ habitants keying in on the warm sun­ ny islands with "Tropical Holdiay." Rudolf performs at about 150 col­ leges a year and considers work a "party." This former English/psychology major started out as a serious musician and "deteriorated down to humor" as he puts it. Being funny isn't the only pastime of Dave, he owns his own recording studio and has released eight albums. He is currently working on his second childrens' album and has written several childrens' books. Overall Dave Rudolf is a wonderful entertainer and if you get a chance to see him, jump on it. The headlining act of the evening, Wayne Federman, slept through his stop at Greensboro airport and woke up in Charlotte. Wayne called the Assistant director of Student Pro­ CAVANI STRING QUARTET: The all female Cavani String Quartet will appear in the Broyhill Music Center on Tues­ day, November 8. Hailed as "one of the most exciting young ensembles," the quartet has ap­ peared on all three major net­ works and PBS. The members are: Anne Fullard, Susan Waterbury, Ericka Eckert and Merry Peckham. The show is sponsored by the Performing Arts and Forum Series. Tickets are $2 for students and $4 for non-students, and can be purchased at Farthing Auditorium. For more informa­ tion call 262-4046. Tonight at H'Appy's sounds of "communication breakdown" will be drifting out the doors. For all you youngsters (and oldsters, too) who never got a chance to see the legen­ dary Led Zeppelin perform, tonight is your chance to see as close to the real thing as you can get. Stairway to Heaven concerts are an excellent chance to capture some of the spirit of attending a "real" Led Zeppelin concert. Stairway to Heaven (a Zeppelin tribute band) is an excursion through a musical revolution. From Led Zep­ pelin's "Dazed and Confused" to "Kashmir," Stairway to Heaven em­ bodies a sense of that same fire and cohesion that allowed Led Zeppelin to leave its' mark on rock history. The band members, David Adams (drums, percussion and guitar), Carlos Cordon (guitar, mandolin and vocals), and Darrell Smith (vocals, guitar and keyboards), can turn the heads of the heaviest of hard rockers. Stairway to Heaven's seemingly im­ promptu renditions of Zeppelin's music are exceedingly polished and well-rehearsed musical masterpieces. Their performance is executed with an uncompromising desire to reflect the essence of what made Led Zeppelin a legend in their own time. The band is mostly a group of selfproclaimed Led Zeppelin Leaks. The group was put together after a search to find guys who not only look like Led Zeppelin, but could also play like them. The band has only been together for a year and a half, but has already had offers to open up for David Lee Roth. Stairway to Heaven concerts are an excellent chance to capture some of the spirit of attending a "real" Led Zeppelin concert. Stairway to Heaven will perform at H'Appy's tonight. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. and tickets are $3. If you are 21, you may bring either a six-pack of beer or a bottle (750 ml) of wine into H'Appy's. �Tilt APPALACHIAN. THURSDA >', OCTOBER27, I9XX Ministry's album: music with a message By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Staff Writer I :i! 181 Back in 1981 when the first 12-inch singles were appearing from the Lhicago-based band, Ministry, who could've imagined anything as un­ compromising as their newly released third studio album The Land Of Rape And Honey? Early releases like Cold Life and the '83 debut album With Sympathy featured smooth, chart-bound yuppie funk very much influenced by the ear­ ly 80s new wave' British re-invasion. With Sympathy (co-produced by former Psychedelic Fur Vince Ely) teatured a handful of interesting tracks ("Say You're Sorry" and "Ef­ figy" stand out), but most of it was pretty bland. Dramatic changes were at hand, and after releasing several more pro­ mising singles ("The Nature Of Love" and "Halloween"), Ministry reappeared on a new record label in 1986 with Twitch. By this time the 'band' was made up of multi-instru­ mentalist Alain Jourgensen and an assortment of session musicians, and the lack of artistic restrictions freed Jourgensen considerably. Songs like We Believe" and the apocalyptic 13-minute "Where Are You At Now'VCrash And Burn "/"Twitch" medley feature an aggressive, fascinating blend of elec­ tronics, angry vocals and hyperactive percussion. Sire Records deserves loads of credit for having the guts to release this. Since the release of Twitch, Jourgensen has become involved with The Revolting Cocks, a socially con­ scious industrial band comprised of artist from several different bands. Jourgensen has also worked exten­ sively with Wax Trax! Records, a Chicago-based independent label specializing in industrial and elec­ tronic music. (Earlier the year a CDcassette compilation of Ministry 12-inch singles was released on Wax Trax!.) Jourgensen has used his musical involvement to lend support to numerous causes, such as en­ vironmental abuse and animal rights. Lyrically, Jourgensen shows little restraint in pointing out the overindulgences of Western societies (materialism is a favorite topic), and the unjustices such indulgences pro­ duce. Therefore the no-nonsense, confrontational artistry of The Land Of Rape And Honey should come as little surprise. The album kicks off with three flawless examples of industrial thrash: ''Stigmata," "The Missing" and Deity. Gone is the keyboard em­ phasis of previous releases. Over a pulverizing beat, grinding guitars crank out tough, angry music as disembodied, distorted vocals weave in and out of the chaos. This ain't music for wimps. Jourgensen the experimentalist emerges next. On Golden Dawn" and "Hizbollah," cut-and-past third world vocal samples suddenly appear and disappear from instrumental backing similar to Brian Eno and David Byrne's early '80s dub ex­ periments. The results are basic but innovative. Other tracks like "I Prefer," "Flashback" and the in­ strumental "Abortive" are more similar to Twitch, featuring more electronics. Jourgensen's social commentary pops up throughout; and vocally Alain Jourgensen has become one of the most challenging 'singers' this side of Johnny Rotten. Continued from Page 7 threw me on the bed. "Howdy," he said, shaking my limp hand, "Name's Mack Truck, nice to meet you." I shook his hand, took a deep breath, looked him straight in the eye and said, "A hubbada hubbada hubbada." He turned out to be a pretty nice guy and later in the night we went The Land Of Rape And Honey isn't for everyone, but its restless originality and integerity still qualifies it as one of the best major label releases of the year. Alain Jourgensen has an improtant message, and he has the artistic ability to back it up with great music. Pounding industrial electronics and 'found' vocal tapes from the in­ strumental backing throughout as heavily distorted vocals snarl through the musical mix. Lyrics are principally concerned with animal abuse ("Dogshit," "Testure," "Hospital Waste"), safe sex vs. 'video' sex ( 'Safety Aide"), the horrors of war ("VX Gas Attack"), pollution and en viromental abuse ("Human Disease," "Hospital Waste"), and related topics. The apparent intention is to radicalize the listener into aban­ doning materialistic middle class values in favor of more realistic points of view, and it's hard not to be moved by this. Vivi Sect VI is not a 'fun' album, but it makes valid, necessary statements and manages to be quite interesting in its own radical way. how goofy 'hese, „ what makes coV^U? in college to learn8e s° Rr" but why restrict L? ^ classroom?

Games were played against Wake Forest, the University of Charleston (West Virginia) and Virginia Commonwealth University. On Wednesday, the Apps faced Wake Forest, one of the best teams in the Southeast. ASU came out slow after their week break and the Deacons stuck in four goals before the half was over. The second half was not much better for the Moun­ taineers as Wake Forest put in one more to make the final score 5-0. Friday night the soccer team played in tne cold and rain against the University of Charleston from West Virginia. In this unpredictable game, the ball was extremely hard to control due to the rain and the slick condi­ tions on the field. UC scored the first two goals of the game and the Apps looked down. However, Carlos Lee got a breakaway soon after and scored to get the Appalachian team back in the game. ASU began to put on the pressure and again, Lee found himself on a breakaway where he hit an outstand­ ing shot into the corner of the net. This goal made the score 2-2. UC scored the next goal, putting the pressure on the Apps again. In the re­ mainder of the game, the Moutaineers came very close to tying the game up, but with about two minutes left, UC scored again to end the match 4-2. On Sunday, the soccer team played Virginia Commonwealth on a beautiful day in Boone. In this very rough game, neither VCU nor ASU could pull out the victory in overtime. The game ended in a 1-1 tie. Near the end of the half, both teams had goals that were taken back because of an off-sides call. 1 he second halt opened up witn VCU scoring first on an excellent play. The Apps came back, though, and got a goal of their own on a penalty kick. The foul was a tripping call for Carlos Lee and the kick was taken perfectly by sweeper, Kris Svenson, tying the game at 1-1. The re­ mainder of the game was scoreless and the two teams were forced to go into two 10-minute overtimes. Neither team could score, although ASU came very close on a ball that was headed by Lee that hit the post. The game, as a result, ended in a tie. The soccer team was in great need of some wins this week but their hard work just was not enough to capture one. Wake Forest was simply an outstanding team. They have beaten some of the best teams in the nation and have compiled a record of 8-A-3. The game against UC was controlled a lot by the weather. Many of ASU's chances were spoiled by the ball skip­ ping out of bounds or off a foot. The rain made the game really unpredic­ table. The game against VCU was full of little Fights and blatant fouls. One VCU player was ejected from the game and several yellow cards were given out. This game could have very easily been an Appalachian victory. The soccer team has one more game left in the season. The next game is at Marshall in West Virginia. The Apps played at home last night against Davidson. Bodybuilding seminar conducted at Quinn Center By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports Editor On Friday, November 4 at 7 p.m. in the Quinn Recreation Center, the Department of Recreation, Intramurals, and Club Sports will conduct a body building seminar for Appala­ chian students, faculty and staff. The seminar will conclude around 11:30 p.m. and will feature body builders Keith Sigmon and Karen Spell. In ad­ dition, vitamin supplement company Vitamin Locker will give a short presentation on the importance of dietary supplements. The seminar will include informa­ tion regarding training principles, exercise techniques, diet, supplemen­ tation, and contest preparation. Quinn Center Fitness and Facilities Coordinator Dan Duncan encourages everyone to attend. "The seminar is geared to all weight training enthusiasts from beginners to advanced, and even com­ petitive body builders," Duncan said. "It is a great educational opportuni­ ty. These type of seminars are how I began acquiring my knowledge in the weight training area," he said. The seminar will begin with a presentation from Gold's Classic and Ms. Junior USA champion Karen Spell. Spell, who has been featured in numerous body building magazines and on ESPN, will discuss exercise techniques used in her training, plus other training principles, and contest preparation. In addition to her magazine and television credits, Spell will star in a soon-to-be released movie entitled Cyborg. Her co-stars include Jean-Claude Von Damme, Rolf Muller, and Janice Graser. After Spell's presentation, Vitamin Locker will conduct a brief discussion and display of the line of supplements John Settle fights for a place at the top of the NFL their company offers. Wrapping up the evening will be 1987 NPC Mr. North Carolina and 1988 NPC Mr. Southern States, Keith Sigmqn. Sigmon, the guest poser for the 1988 Mr./Ms. Mountaineer con­ test on Saturday, November 5, will conduct his presentation following the same format as Spell. His appearance and discussion will enable Mountaineer contestants to see him prior to the contest displaying his training program. Admission to the seminar is free and all students, faculty, and staff Duncan emphasizes that the pur­ pose oj" the seminar is to educate will be admitted with a valid ASU ID. HOW THEY STACK UP ASU vs MARSHALL CATEGORY Currently there are only three former Appalachian State players ac­ tive in the NFL. Along with Settle, there's Dino Hackett of the Kansas City Chiefs and Flip Johnson who plays for the Buffalo Bills. "I feel lucky, coming from a small school, making it as a free agent," Settle said. Defense If both defenses play up to their potential this contest could feature a lot less scoring than some anticipate. Last week, ASU gave up 175 yards to ETSU while the Herd held UT-C to a mere 105 yards of offense. The ASU defense needs fo put some doubt in the mind of Gregory. The Mountaineers got back to that intimidating, hard-nosed football against ETSU and need more of the same this weekend. The Apps secondary will be tested once again and as they proved against Todd Ellis and South Carolina, this bunch con be tough to pass on. Marshall's defense, which returned seven starters from lost year, will be trying to force the Apps into on all-out passing gome. The higher the score the less likely an ASU victory. But coming from relatively small ASU has not stopped him. Settle is currently the fourth leading rusher in the NFL and has the most total yards in one game in the league with 186. He also has the longest run in the NFL this year with 62 yards. but Settle has had very few problems. "The heat is the difference," Settle said. "Two-a-day workouts are also very hard." A large percentage of professional athletes never graduated from college, but Settle is different. "I will graduate in May," he said. "I would have graudated earlier but I left the last part of my senior year to go to camp." Settle will receive a degree in criminal justice. Becoming a college graduate is not the only difference between Settle and other NFL players. Currently, Settle does not have an agent. "A lot of problems have come from agents," he said. "I did away with my agent and I think you will see more athletes do the same in the future," Settle added. Settle wants to express that the Southern Conference plays a good brand of football. "We don't go up against the Aundray Bruce's and Marcus Cotton's (Falcon linebackers) each week," Set­ tle said. There is one key to making the NFL in John Settle's opinion. "A person has to believe in himself and his ability," he said. "I know 1 had the talent." Training camp was a big change of pace for the former Mountaineer. "In training camp it was hot and now it's getting cool," Settle said. "During training camp 1 just hoped I would be here. Last year I played on special teams." After watching conference rival Western Carolina on national televi­ sion, Settle would like to see Ap­ palachian do the same. "I would like to turn on the TV on Thursday night and see Appalachian play," he said. One of the reasons Settle has done so well this season is because of the training camp he attended. "During training camp I just tried to look forward to the season, hoping that 1 would be here," he said. "I felt like 1 had enough desire to make it. It was discouraging last year." Overall Settle has proven himself as an outstanding athlete among the ranks of ASU players as well as the Atlanta Falcons. Moving from a small college in the mountains of Western North Caro­ lina to the top of the National Foot­ ball League in Atlanta, speaks for itself, but John Settle has risen to the top of the league as he did in the Southern Conference. His desire to stay on top has helped to prove to himself he's one of the best overachievers in football history. ADVANTAGE Although QBs Bobby Fuller and John Gregory are virtually even, the nod has to go to the Herd because of their experienced surehanded receivers. Marshall's Sean Doctor and Mike Barber, a tight end and wide receiver, respectively, hod a field day against the Apps last year. The two combined for 346 yards in two gomes against ASU, ASU's Fuller must have a good day passing in order to win. The Mountaineers offense must put points on the board because Marshall's will. The Apps were able to rely on a potent running attack last week but in all likelihood will have to air it out in Huntington, WV. The biggest difference between this year and last year is that Marshall is without AII-SC QB Tony Peterson, lost to graduation. Gregory took over and has done a good job. Last week he passed for 279 yards on 11 for 23 passing. Gregory does lack "big game'' experience and could be forced into mistakes if the App defense can apply pressure. Settle, once a star running back at ASU, is now a great star for the Atlanta Falcons. Acquired as a free agent on April 30, 1987, Settle is cur­ rently one of the top running backs in the NFL. While at ASU, Settle set 31 Moun­ taineer football records and 19 con­ ference records. In addition, he gain­ ed over 5,000 yards, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. Many college athletes have trouble adjusting to the professional ranks, COMMENT Like most, this bollgame will be won or lost in the trenches. ASU is bigger than Marshall on both sides of the ball, but the Thundering Herd have the more explosive running game because of runningback Ron Darby's breakaway ability. Darby will be Marshall's workhorse, as he was last year in the Division l-AA Semifinals, when he rushed for 138 yards on 34 carries against the Apps. Last week against UT-C Darby was Held to 83 yards on 18 carries by perhaps the best defense in the SC, and the Herd still won 38-7. So containing Darby is only half the problem facing the Mountaineers. ASU on the other hand, must produce on first down, and in doing so, keep Marshall guessing on second and third. If the Apps are forced into a "predictable" offense by lock of a ground game, it could be a long day. Many American kids have one dream in life, and that's to play in the NFL. For former Appalachian foot­ ball standout, John Settle, that dream has become a reality. "John is a tough, tough person who has got a big heart as well as ability. He can pick holes and he is faster than people think. Why he wasn't drafted, I'll never know." Marion Campbell, A11anta Falcons Head Football Coach "The seminar is designed to inform people about the proper techniques, training protocols, and the nutritional and supplemental aspects involved in competitive body building," he said. "We hope those who attend will leave with some insight into the sport and the training aspects involved in it," he added. Passing Appalachian Staff Writer Head Football Coach of the Atlan­ ta Falcons Marion Campbell has nothing but praise for Settle. "Boy, on Sundays, he just shows up week after week," Campbell said. "As a free agent, he's unbelievable. "John is a tough, tough person who has got a big heart as well as ability. He can pick holes and he is faster than people think. Why he wasn't drafted, I'll never know," Campbell added. Appalachian State body builders by demonstrating safe and effective techniques and practices.

Marshall lost both kicking specialists from last year while ASU has two returning AII-SC performers in punter Tony Cox and placekicker Bjorn Nittmo. Nittmo connected on three field goals lost week and has hit his last 12 straight. The Swede should feel right at home because Marshall's Fairfield Stadium is covered by artificial turf. Field position could play a big part in Saturday's game, so Cox needs to have a good day. Unlike either game last year, all the pressure is on the Thundering Herd. They are favored to win the game and the con­ ference. The people in Marshall, administration and fans, expect their team to win whereas ASU goes in as the underdog. Intangibles Appalachian needs to come out "loose," knowing that they are an underdog in a con­ ference game for the first time in a long time. All the ingredients are there for an upset. Marshall might come out tight, they really have not had a bad game yet, and they are playing a team that a lot of people have already counted out. The Apps are hungry.

First, I'd like to examine the effect of the First Amendment on the affairs of church and state. When our forefathers drafted the Constitution, the First Amendment was designed to protect our individual and collective freedoms, religion included. Since then, the very heart and intent of the First Amendment has been thoroughly perverted. We have this imaginary entity in existence called the "Wall of Separa­ tion" between church and state. Late­ ly this tool of the atheist and secularist populace has been built to such a magnitude that it seems anyone who professes belief in religion should have very little to contribute to public policy. Many individuals and organizations have used this wall to accomplish this very end. But careful study of the history of the First Amendment shows that the only place this "Wall" exists in the Constitution is in the secularists' own warped logic. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution because people felt it would protect our fundamental rights from control by the federal govern­ ment. Included in the Bill is the First Amendment, which protects the right of free speech, assembly and religion from governmental control. The passage concerning religious freedom reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exer­ cise thereof." This clause, referred to as the establishment clause, was designed as a protect.on from the governmental establishment of one denomination SerTdT' ThC St3te and religious aders did not want to suffer n!l'8,°uS persecut'on under a nationally enforced denomination. I his true meaning of the Constitu­ tion becomes readily clear when one studies the passage originally pro­ posed ,n the drafting process of the Constitution. "Congress shall make no law establishing any denomination of religion in preference to another °hrprPrfohlb,,,nug the free exercise thereof nor shall the rights of con­ science be infringed." This clause was to insure that the federal government "0t Prohibit any individual, institution or community to deter­ mine its own religious affairs. The Firs. Amendment gives freedom of religion, meaning freedom for religion, no. freedom re|igion. So where did the "Wall of Separa­ tion come from to which many peo­ ple and organizations have made appeals in order to keep Christians from involving themselves in the socio-political realm? Strangely no such entity exists. In fact, at no time have our founding fathers advocated such secularization of the govern ment.

It is a phrase denoting a human relationships. It has been a very popular thing to rig only discovered in the last few lundred years of world history. It is assert that rights are a gift of either „ danger of slipping back into the _God or society. In Rick Rairdon's dark obscurity of prehistoric Thursday October 13, 1988 article "It is 'Self-Evident' That We Have God Granted Rights," we have an example of the view that rights are a gift from God. However, this viewpoint and the societal gift viewpoint cannot stand up to rational scrutiny. To say that rights are a gift of God or society means conversely that rights can be taken away by the same. If rights can be taken away from man, then by definition rights cannot be inalienable. But one of the vital parts of the definition of rights is in alienability. While it makes perfect sense to say that rights can be recognized or unrecognized, unabridged or abridged, unviolated or violated, it makes no sense to speak of rights as given or taken. To say that rights can be given or taken away effectively means that there can be no such thing as human rights whatsoever. Thus, those who assert that rights are a gift of God or society cannot claim to support inalienable rights as Mr. Rairdon claims to do. CONSISTENTLY COOL. The fact is, inalienable rights are neither supernatural gifts nor manmade pipe dreams, but rather are natural. As novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand so simply and eloquently put it in her novel Atlas Shrugged: The source of man's rights is not divine law or congressional law, but the Law of. Identity. A is A—and Man is Man." To understand what this means, one must fully analyze what the Law of Identity is. The Law of Identity, the axiom upon which all knowledge is based, is the Law stating that a thing is itself, that existence exists. The word "exist" derives from the Latin existere meaning "to stand out" or "to come forth." To exist means to be something as opposed to nothing and it means to be something specific. To say that something exists is to say that it has specific characteristics which specify and delimit its capabilities and actions. These specific characteristics of a thing tutnermore distinguish it from all other things. Such is the nature of existence. And as it is with existence, so also it is with man. Man likewise possesses characteristics distinguishing him from everything else and setting his capabilities, actions and needs for existence. The characteristic distinguishing man from inanimate matter is that he is living. The characteristic distinguishing man from a vegetable is that his means of survival is a consciousness. And the characteristic distinguishing man from all other conscious living things is that his particular modum of con­ sciousness is rational. This means that to live, man must grasp reality con­ ceptually and apply his knowledge to his survival through invention, productive labor and by utilizing the products of these towards his chosen goals. Granting that man's distinguishing characteristics are his existence as a living entity, his consciousness and his rational method of consciousness, if man's life on earth is right, it must follow that it is right for man to think for himself. It mukt follow that it is right for man to invent, produce and exchange. It must follow that it is right for man to own the products of his effort. And above all, it must follow that it is right for man to engage in these actions free from the depredations of criminal individuals and criminal governments. As rights are a moral principle, we see that human rights derive from man's nature as rational being coupled with the premise that man's life on earth is right. This and nothing else serves as the justification for the human rights recognized and affirmed in the Declaration of Independence and the the U.S. Bill of Rights. As shall be seen in the next article, man's rational nature is not only the source of his rights, but the determinant of what kind of rights man has as well. MURPHY'S CHOICE A ft m E.T.S.

SGA plans to hold a food drive for the hungry in the Boone area. "Hungerfight Thanksgiving '88," will be targeted for Thanksgiving distribution. SGA will handle all fundraising and foodraising. The Hunger Coalition of Boone will assist by distributing food among needy persons and families. SGA Director of State Affairs Steve Yost stated many reasons for the coordination of the project, the most important being "its just a good and decent thing to do." Perhaps 'Hungerfight.. .Thanksgiving 88 will help in showing that both groups can work toward a common goal for a common problem by pulling interests together a little more," Yost added. Yost and SGA Community Affairs Senator Stacy Visintainer have arranged the program so students can work with townspeople in various ways such as grocery store participa­ tion, corporate sponsorship and soliciting for the drive by various campus organizations. Yost and Visintainer have prepared and distributed a letter which was sent to all cam­ pus organizations. First, they hope each organization will make a special effort to con­ tribute. Second, they wish to unify all student organizations into a focused effort to make the project even more successful. "We could make a larger impact on the Boone/Watauga County area with a unified effort," Yost said. There are three basic ways organizations can participate: WASU fundraiser groups will "pur­ chase" air time on WASU to play their choice of music during the week of November 1-5. Create their own fundraiser or 9 \ I umanities Project Hosting Scholar Dr. William Poteat All groups participating will receive recogni­ tion by the University and the community. More importantly, they'll have the lasting ap­ preciation of actual food recipients. "I think that 'Hungerfight.. .Thanksgiving '88' will be beneficial for all involved. Besides the families that it helps, positive effects are achieved through the unity of campus organizations, students, and community and local businesses," SGA President Gary Greene said. Nearly 22 percent of the county's residents live at or under the poverty level. While the Hunger Coalition and other agencies help to reach the hungry and the needy, they can't reach everyone. SGA's "Hungerfight" was organized to help fill the gap between what is done and what can be done. Their outline of intent states, "Our project will not cure the problem but it will make it less of a problem and provide some people with a happy Thanksgiving." Though the actual drive is not to begin until November 1, work has already started. "The key to 'Hungerfight.. .Thanksgiving '88' will be the effectiveness and success of planned fundraisers which activate both the campus and community," Yost said. Hugo Murillo of the ASU art department will design posters for the project. Other publicity will come through The Appalachian, the Watauga Democrat, WASU and WATA. A raffle will take place at the November 5 HOMELESS MARCH: Approximately 75 people participated in a march football game with Western Carolina.

"I don't know of very many people who've gotten warnings," she said. Hall said a mandatory warning might be appropriate, followed by a fine, perhaps a lesser one on the first offense. She also sug­ gests that fines should be graded according to the time ot the offense. "I think we could get amendments to it, such as get a time limit and actually have it written in that they'd have to get first-time warnings," Aydelott said. "As it is now, giving warnings is policy, which means they don't have to do it," he added. "According to some figures that Mayor Keeter gave us in Senate meeting in September, nine citations were given. That's just in the month of September," Aydelott said. "I asked Mayor Keeter how many of those nine were students and he didn't have that figure," Aydelott said. "I think that's a very good question, a question we need to find out," he added. "I think if we can prove that this regula­ tion is being enforced only on students, I think we've got a very good case. Obvious­ ly, 1 don't have any proof, but I theorize that it is," Aydelott said. Hall said that letters can be dropped off at the SGA offices on the second floor of Workman Hall. Calls and in-person sugges­ tions or complaints are also encouragecfi ASU VS.

I don't want it Gray added that one of the students found the hand, placed it in a bowl, and put it in a freezer to preserve it. According to a Boone fireman, Maurice changed his mind about having his hand reat­ tached. "The ambulance left the school for the hospital with a male patient who deliberately cut off his hand and asked for any assistance they (the hospital) could give him," he said. Doctors at Watauga Hospital reattached the hand. According to an article in The WinstonSalem Journal, local mental health officials tried to have Maurice committed to Broughton Hospital on Thursday. When doctors at Broughton evaluated Maurice, they determined he did not meet criteria for commitment. After the evaluation, Maurice was brought back to Boone and released. "This was just a real odd thing," Gray said "(Maurice) definitely wasn't a student and if anyone had been there they would have stopped him," she added. �f" ' — A.'&fiolA wareness Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian Staff Writer tjvr™ sponsored Mea'th University on A PPA LACHI AN, 7 APPALACHIAN, TUESDA Y.

Even in the Chinese section, poor Greg found nothing but chicken chow mein and egg rolls. With his normally voracious appetite now spoiled, Greg decided he d just have a drink. But quite to his dismay, when my friend pushed the Coca Cola button, his cup was filled with lumpy, yellow chicken juice. Frantically he scanned the other choices, chicken cola, diet chicken cola, Dr. Chicken, Chicken-Up, caffeine-free chicken cola (Chicken Free), diet caffeine-free low sodium chicken cola with 10 percent real chicken juice. Overcome with terror my friend dropped his cup and fled in panic, pursued by a horde of boneless, plucked, seven-foot chickens, oozing and clucking in a gurgly moan. Such is the effect that the Food Court's relentless chicken indoctrina­ tion is having on our fellow students. Greg is a very silly individual, yet his case is exemplary of the dangers of becoming over-poultried. More and more these days I catch myself scrat­ ching the ground, and eyeing those worms on the sidewalk with a curious desire. There is simply too much chicken at the Food Court. But you know, it's pretty darn good yardbird. If you look at some of the slop they serve at UNC-Chapel Hill or Wilmington, I think we've got it pretty good. Some people continue to complain about this or that, however. But let's stop and think for a moment. When I get out of class during the day, I can walk to the parking lot, get in my car, drive to Wendy's and pay The Food Court in all its glory—it's a virtual chicken-lovers paradise See POULTRY Page 4 The Appalachian's resident By SHELLEY KAEHR Appalachian Editor and MARK WILLIAMS Opinion Page Editor Finally, after the enormous reader response concerning Quentin Compson, we decided to get answers to some of the questions most fre­ quently asked. While straight answers were often tough to get from this cynic, the information we discovered was very informative. Q: Would you be willing to tell us your major and what year you are? A: I haven't declared a major, and I'm a sophomore this year. Q: Have you ever written for The Appalachian under your real name? A: Yes. Q: Where did the name Quentin Compson come from and why did you choose this? Is it symbolic to your "cause?" A: Quentin Cnmmnn was a tragic character in The Sound of the Fury, a novel by my hero, William Faulkner. I chose the name because Quentin leaped off a bridge and drowned himself out of futility, and everything I write is in a futile battle against apathy. Q: But you yourself. seem so apathetic A: If,I was apathetic, I wouldn't write or*be interested in the paper. I am apathetic about a lot of problems that don't concern me. Q: Are you saying that abortion, welfare and capital punishment are problems directly relating to you? A: I mean I am not concerned about fetus rights, criminal rights or the well-being of social parasites. Q: By constantly writing as a fictitious character, do you feel you have become that character? A: No, I think I became that character before I started writing. Q: Why do you write under a pen name? Don't you feel that it is a cop-out? A: I write under a pen name because the views I express don't necessarily represent my own views. And to the second part of the question, no. Q : What is your purpose for writing these articles? A : I want to make people think. If I can provoke someone to form an opinion from a set of nebulous ideas they have, I don't care if they agree or disagree as long as they take a stand. Q; Many people think your articles are destructive and do damage to individual organizations. How do you feel about this? A: Sociologically speaking, outside criticism tends to strengthen bonds within a group. Q: On the whole, do you believe people like or dislike your articles based on things you've heard? A: I don't care. I don't appreciate positive feedback nearly as much as "hate mail." I have copies of all my hate letters in my bathroom. They make me happy. Why do you seem to be so antireligious in your articles? A: I'm anti-religious because of the people who are religious. It's peo­ ple who hold these beliefs and can­ not defend or substantiate these Appalachian students should not close their eyes to the , Quentin Compson beliefs. They're so certain they're right and are equally unwilling to have their faith questioned. Q: Do you believe in God and the Bible? A: It's obvious that the Bible exists, I have a copy. I don't think it's any more divinely inspired than this interview. Some translations make for interesting reading. I don't believe in the Christian God, I don't believe in Hell, and I have a secular world view. Q: Do you believe in anything you write? A: Does it matter? Q: Why do you always stereotype a group and fail to mention that there are always "exceptions to the rule?" A: Because in order to effectively write for the Commentary Page I need to take a radical view on one side of an issue and only develop one side of an argument. If I wanted to be objective, I'd write news. Q: Are you afraid of people discover­ ing your identity and possibly threatening you? No. I think people take this thing far too seriously and I think it will stop. What will stop? The interest will fade. Do you expect to see any benefits or positive results from your articles, particularly those about the administration? I don't expect anything positive from the administration. Repeatedly this year alone the administration has demonstrated a complete lack of concern for students, faculty and education. The only people at ASU who care are the ones who sweep the floors and a few professors. Are you disgusted or bitter with society or what? Yes, I'm very bitter. Several people believe that in order for you to produce such copy, you must be mentally unbalanced. What is vour response? They must be right! Are there any other things you'd like to tell people? They'll be hearing from me!!! a of the homeless and hungry Students learn from Boston shelter By FRED DODSON, JR. Special lo The Appalachian Have you ever seen a homeless person? Have you ever been exposed to hunger? If your answer is no to these questions, then chances are you are not realiy looking at these problems. ed consisted of non-nutritious items that are not very su staining. We must get away from the attitude that beggar can't be choosers. Why can they not eat food that is th< same quality that we eat? Why is it that a Boston Ban! must exist? Boone is a small town and the Appalachian campus seems to isolate itself from the rest of the community. Therefore, there are many students who attend the college and never get involved in the community in which they live. Many students don't realize the Town of Boone and the surrounding county has a rising population of homeless and hungry people. We as students have a large responsibility to do something about the tragedy going on around us. First we need to take a moment and admit to ourselves and friends that we need to do our share in fighting the immediate problem. Many students don't realize the Town of Boone and the surrounding county has a rising population of homeless and hungry people. We as students have a large responsibility to do something about the tragedy going on around us. Some students have realized that the problems of hunger and homelessness are rising faster than the present systems can handle. These student members of the Student Com­ munity Service Project went to Boston during fall break to see the problems firsthand and to see how solutions can be applied. The best experience that ASU students had in Boston was a chance to work with Boston University students Our visit there was organized by "The League" which is a student run program that is equivalent to Boone's Student After an eighteen hour drive, they arrived in Boston tired. No one realized the intensity of the upcoming days. The next day students were taken to a homeless shelter. I was among the students who took a tour of the Pine Street Shelter and I must say that this experience was very life changing for me. One can not really comprehend the size of the problem until visiting such a facility. The building was clean and well managed but I got sick feeling that although our country is the richest in the world, we can't do any better than throw these people into overcrowded facilities that are designed just to keep them alive. The Pine Street Shelter was a good shelter but the sad thing was that it has to exist. This was the case for most of what the students did in Boston. ""st EK^N^^SO^JTIONSF Tiipro k 1worked in the Boston Food Bank where food from 77 ' V »olUtIONS.

We learned from them that when students are organized and driven to, they can do anything "The League" proved to us that the shame of homelessness and hunger can't be ignored. Also, it made us realize there is a long way to go in Boone before the problems we have here are controlled. We gained so much from the experiences we had there­ from working in church food service programs to simply walking the streets of Boston. We took pieces of this ugly reality and grew from it. Now we are establishing a strong organization in Boone called the Active Students for the Community and we need help. No one can deny that the students who are working for the new organization are extremely energetic and focused on change, but we need more members We need people who are not afraid to give a little of themselves. I promise that in the end, you will have grown more than you thought possible. To join, please come by Room 6F in Chapell Wilson Hall. The chances to help are unlimited. �4 v Classifieds ELITE PAPERS '•INSTANT CASH"—Golden 264-5099 Quality Word Processing At A Reasonable Price We Process: Research Papers Resumes Theses Questionnaires, etc. —Overnight Service Available— f close to ASU, resident managers I secure, fenced, lighted, 24 hour |access! 297-1818.

The win improved the Apps' record to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Southern Conference. The early momentum was with the Bucs as they carried the ball to the Appalachian 28-yard line on the opening possession of the ball game. After ASU's Jimmy Snowden blocked a third-and-10 pass by ETSU's quarterback Randy Meredith, the Bucs' placekicker Wayland Shamburger took the field to attempt a 45-yard field goal. The kick was no good and the Moun­ taineer team took over. Apps' quarterback Bobby Fuller was intercepted on third-and-11 on the first drive for the Mountaineer team, and after the Bucs moved the ball down to the 20-yard line, it set up the only ETSU score of the after­ noon. entire game, both in the air and on the ground. Offensively, a consistent passing game and an outstanding run­ ning game kept the Mountaineers well ahead of the Bucs. The second TD of the quarter was accomplished through the air as Fuller connected with Kevin Arm­ strong for a 26-yard gain and to Wesley for a 15-yard completion. Fuller's last pass of the drive was a 16-yard touchdown strike to Rental Atkins. The Apps led 21-3 after Nittmo hit the extra point. ASU's last second quarter touchdown came when the Moun­ taineer running brigade of Dawson, Tim Sanders and Armstrong com­ bined to move the ball down the field to the one-yard line. Armstrong ran the ball across the goal line to bring the score to a comfortable 28-3 when the horn ended the first half. The tide still rolled in favor of the Mountaineers in the second half as the defense kept the Buccaneer offense in poor field position. In addition, the Apps intercepted backup quarterback Mark Williams Shamburger's 37-yard field goal three times in the half. Interceptions was good and the Buccaneers went were credited to Mike Cureton, Mark ahead 3-0. After the ETSU team Moore and Keith Collins. kicked off, though, the ASU team A third quarter touchdown by took control of the game and never Armstrong put ASU ahead 35-3.

Circuit training provides a tough, beneficial workout Rv ^ARBIMA SELLS By SABRINA ecfm Appalachian Sports Editor If you like the workout that aerobic exercise provides but want to break away from the graceful movements and unison exercies and do your own thing, then the Quinn Center has just what you are looking for. This new exercise regimen is called circuit train­ ing and it is geared especially toward body builders and men, but it is designed for anyone who wants a tough and intense workout. Circuit training consists of a twominute aerobic workout followed by two minutes of individual "station" work. These stations include sit-ups, push-ups, leg lifts and weight curls. Between each two-minute station is two more minutes of aerobic exercise that aids in keeping the heart rate up for cardiovascular conditioning. The training is hard work, but it of­ fers some of the best all-around con­ ditioning and toning benefits of any exercise program. Aside from improv­ ing the endurance of the car­ diovascular system, circuit training expands lung capacity, and firms muscles in the arms, legs and stomach. Circuit training requires strength and effort on the part of all par­ ticipants. As grueling as the workout is, though, each person is encouraged to train and work at his or her own speed. Assistant Director of the Depart­ ment of Recreation, Intramural and Club Sports William H. Ehling believes that the new program offers a great change of pace for ASU students, faculty and staff who enjoy good exercies. "Circuit training is a good break from the routine for those in the weight room as well as those who do straight aerobics," he said. Ehling emphasizes that the whole feel, sound and look of the training is different from traditional aerobics. "The music involved in circuit training is much more energetic and does not include love ballads like Browns have the best shot at ^ back and can help their Unday with a win over Houston remains inconsisdangerous.

Ehling asserts that the need to keep the classes so small is to insure the safety of the participants as the Quinn Center begins its first weigh-incorporated aerobic program. "This is the first aerobic class in which we have advocated the use of weights because there is a lot of misuse of weights in high and low im­ pact aerobics," he said. If circuit training sounds like your idea of exercise, then give it a try. For more information, call the Quinn Center at 262-3035.

The classes are limited to 30 people, so those in­ terested are encouraged to come early for a place in the class. With between 200 and 350 aerobic participants per day, the classes are kept small so that the success of the new program can be monitored. "If the demand for the program in­ creases, the possibility is there for us to expand," Ehling said. "We want SyStCm Wednesda y- Thursday and Friday Cable systems in Greensboro and H , c kory also carry the show. ni®bts at 7;30. Appalachian football Coach Sparky Woods has his own television show, and it happened because two students had an idea one night at Piz­ za Hut. Jon Pritchett and Steve Gill, students in a TV production class, wanted a project to hone their pro­ duction skills. They came up with a 28-minute program of game highlights, questions and answers with the coach, taped features about people in the football program, a public service announcement and a special guest to discuss the previous or upcoming game. Student volunteers do all the work. The show is seen on the university's Appalnet cable system, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights at 7:30, and on Alert Cable and Greensboro Cable of Greensboro and Catawba Valley • Cable of Hickory. "We didn't just do it for the foot­ ball, we did it so everyone could get an internship while still in school," Pritchett said. "People are learning to direct, shoot and do reporting. It gives people an opportunity to learn how news and TV work. Pritchett compared the show to a half-hour newscast. He hosts the show on a set in Wey Hall's television studio. Taped game footage and feature-, .re inserted between live segments, and the finished show goes on tape just as a live news show would be broadcast. Making sure each ele­ ment is ready and in place gave the crew more experience than they could get in a classroom. Pritchett, a senior front McLeansville, and Gill, a senior froir Bethesda, MD., are carrying a fuli class load while working at least 4C hours a week on the show. With othei students they shoot the games, edit game footage, write a script and pro­ duce features. They tape the show on Tuesday nights and distribute it on Wednesdays. "I had no idea how much time it would take," Pritchett said. "There are just so many little things to be done, and it doesn't leave much time for anything else." Producing features on John Settle, an Appalchian All-American now playing for the Falcons, took them to Atlanta twice. "We get a lot of help," Gill said. Besides the volunteer work of about a dozen other students, the -communication arts department pro­ vides production facilities and the athletic department gives the crew travel and lodging for away games. "Coach Woods has been incredible He always has time for us," Pritchett said. They also credit faculty members Kevin Balling, Dr. Carl Tyrie and Joe Murphy, and Larry Cornelison, the communication arts department's television engineer for pitching in to help get the show done The university has no money in the project, they said, beyond tape and studio costs and game travel and lodeing. WBTV donated footage from lasi years game for the show's opening and closing segments, and allowed them to use the station's slow-motion equipment. Money for phone calls and postage to mail tapes has come from their pockets. �6 THE APPALACHIAN THE APPALACHIAN COMMENTARY SHELLEY KAEHR.

I can't help but think of the statements made by those who were Democrats and defected to tne Republican Party. Why did Ronald Reagan leave the party? Why is the former national security advisor One of the reasons for this is people want to work. They don't want to pay for laziness through legal plunder or the unjust redistribution of wealth. The second reason is that the American people want peace though strength and not the type of peace that Nevill Chamberlin sought rough the path of appeasment. Over half of the world's geography and population have come under Communist domination since 1917. Has that been an accident?

See DEMOCRAT) The Appalachian is a disgrac To the Editor: Mr. Compson, writer of the col­ umn entitled, "A solution to the infestation of social parasites in Amenea- in.h6 October .3 issue of The Appalachian, is clearly a person filled with hate. Hate is defined as disliking somethmg imensdy or passionately. Hate can be handled in several ways: constructively or destructively. One can hate conditions such as injustice or unfairness, and can try to do something to reduce or eliminate those conditions by con­ structive means. Or one can hate groups of people, seeking further °ih m ,t C tTaTf tage for them in our society. It is this last approach which Mr. Comp­ son has chosen to take. His hate is directed at our society's most vulnerable people, most of them JJ"' the physically and mentally disabled, and the elderly. What targets! He even expresses a fervent desire that "we should kill them." editors can play fast and loose with the facts in order to support their biases' tben studem^1"11'65 andbig trouble. our student paper is in ak-pg as^e f°r the moment the Possibility that Mr. Compson writes his columns primarily to get a reac­ tion from folks, or that he is truly emot,onally disturbed, I will pr0vL some information about our fellow cttzens that Mr. Compson L a' ™ and demeans.

V pseudonyms are frowned upon in a newspaper envirc. However, university newspapers have a greater degree of flexibility and may employ their use more so than a nonuniversity publication. Furthermore, it is a common prac­ tice of The Appalachian's writers to employ the use of pseudonyms regardless of whether it is correct or not. During the past year, such writers as Aqualung, Charley, Palmer Chad Williams, Jr., Micho, Otto, Aquafresh, Barnabus Figg, Carter W. Beauchamp, W. Clinton Blevins and Hell Mary have all been Fictitious names. 1 am amazed at the number of persons claiming to read The Ap­ palachian regularly and have just now disgrace ^.<7 from Page 6 sjixon.

But face it, people who are that crazy should be locked up anyway! Also, I refuse to censor an opinion solely because it might ruffle peoples' feathers. If it does so, good! This paper is not biased and not pre­ judiced and by far not racist! I will publish any viewpoint because the Opinion Page is a forum for opinion and by censoring 'prejudiced' views, the paper itself would become pre judiced. 7 he newspaper is primarily for the student; oi Ami Students are what Democrats welfare dependent. 1.7 percent of children under age 5 in 1970 were in families that were longterm dependent. 4. h. A married woman is di­ vorced or separated. Accord­ ing to a study by Mary Jo Bane and David Ellwood of Harvard University, 45 percent of the beginnings of "spells" of AFDC receipt occur because of a divorce or separation. An out-of-wedlock birth to an un­ married woman with no other children is the reason that 30 percent of AFDC cases are opened. Only 12 percent of families turn to AFDC because the mother's earnings decline. 5. c. 66 percent. According to a study by David Eliwood of Harvard, 66 percent of firsttime AFDC recipients had worked in the two years before receiving AFDC. Twenty-three percent of these families can be expected to receive AFDC for 10 or more years. 6. False. Since 1970, AFDC benefits have kept pace with inflation in only three states— California, Maine and Wiscon­ sin. Benefits have declined, in real terms, in all other states. On average, AFDC benefits have declined by 33 percent since 1970. 7. False. Even when in-kind benefits are considered, fewer families with children were removed from poverty in 1985 than in 1979. In 1979, 5.3 million families were brought out of poverty after they re­ ceived cash assistance, food and housing benefits. These statistics were calculated by the Congressional Budget Office and staff of the House Ways and Means Committee. 8. True. The average AFDC family consists of a mother and two children. According to data supplied by the Health and Human Service Department, 44.2 percent of AFDC cases in 1984 included one or no children, and 29.9 percent included two children. It is sad and troubling that one of ASU's students is so thoroughly mean, nasty, and destructive. Again, assuming for the sake of argument that his prejudice and proposals are genuine, I did think that he had a good deal of gall—if not courage— to write such a piece for public perusal. Then I learned that he does not have the courage of his so-called convictions, since—according to your office—the name, Quentin Compson, is a pseudonym. "Mr. Compson" should at least be confined to taking on challenges which he can document (this does not include inventing statistics). Bullies can do a lot of damage, in part because they do not want to learn to use their brains as well as their emotions. Nancy K.

If that's the case, I don't know why. When I called him, he would have said last spring, 'Yes, I promised them letter grades,'" Parker said. According to Chumbley, he informed in late July or early August that students would have to accept grades of satisfactory or unsatisfac­ tory rather than letter grades. " I called a meeting of the interns and told them that 1 had made a mistake and would have to give them pass/fails," Chumbley said. Mclntire and Parker claim students were not informed of the fact they would not receive letter grades until much later. "They didn't find that out. That's wrong. I think Mr. Chumbley is try­ ing to think back through, and has had the same difficulty anyone else has had in remembering specifics," Mclntire said.

No one Estepp talked to knew. My daughter didn't know," Mclntire added. "Mclntire wasn't there. He wouldn't know," Chumbley said in response to Mclntire's reply. Parker said he would have let the grades stand as S/U. "Clinton would have left it as a S/U and I would have left it as a S/U if the question hadn't been raised by another person. And I have to say in Parker's defense, he did it unhap­ pily," Chumbley said. Parker said Mclntire came to his office and told him students were threatening to take legal action. "Dr. Mclntire came in to see me and said that we had a problem," Parker said. "I said, 'Well, I don't know what to do because we can't give letter grades for internships," Parker said. Dr. Mclntire and I both went over and sat with Dr. Durham and talked about the situation," Parker added. Mclntire said only his daughter Jodie expressed concern to him about the situation. "No one said to me, 'Dr. Mclntire, you ve got to do something about this injustice that has been done,' " Mclntire added. At this point a cooperative decision was made by Durham, Mclntire and Parker of removing students from the internships and putting them into independent studies. "That way we could give them the same amount of credit they were registered for and they could receive letter grades," Parker said. Registrar Brooks VlcLeod was con­ tacted concerning a way to switch the students into the independent studies. "McLeod was contacted with the question of what mechanism can we use to get these students changed from an internship to some sort of course where they could get grades in," Parker said. McLeod told me the procedure to do, that I was to write a memo instructing him to withdraw the interns from the internships and to add them to independent studies," Parker added. McLeod has denied telling Parker to write the memo. Chumbley wrote a memo for all of the students to be changed from MUS 4900 to two independent study courses of CMA 3500 and MUS 3500 and in the process included a grade for each student. For a student to be enrolled in an independent study, the department chairperson must sign the forms. Communication Arts department chairman Dr. Charles Porterfield never granted permission for students to be enrolled in the CMA 3500 class. But Dean of the School of Music Bill McCloud was contacted concern­ ing the change into his department. " I he mistake that was made in this department was that in the heat of the See INTERNSHIP Page 2 Vice Chancellor for Sludenl Development Dr. David Mclntire Break time change confusing for many students Fall NICOLE PARSONS Appuluchiitn Copy told Parker to call Chumbley to verify 'hat he had agreed to give letter grades.

The change from noon actual time that fall break was scheduled to begin. A number of publications printed through Student Development such as to 5 p.m. was made after heavy con­ sideration byahe Faculty Senate. The time change apparently was not made evident to the calendar com­ mittee and others responsible for put­ ting out the publications. An approved proposal by Faculty Senate last February established that fall break and all other breaks in­ cluding Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring and Eastor would start at 5 p.m. on the last scheduled day of classes that breaks were to begin. I t is an overwhelming recommenda­ tion from the faculty to make the change. It was discovered students were not going to classes and were leaving the day before," Vicechancellor of Academic Affairs Harvey Durham said. Surveys addressing the concern of pihial day dismissal were sent to both faculty and senate by the campus in­ stitute of research. "T he response rate was abominable with a low response of only 219 usable surveys," Director of Institutional Research Dr. Bob Sharpes said. Surveys were sent to 520 faculty with a response of 35 percent and to 2,250 students with a response of 2 percent. Although the time change was printed incorrectly in universityrelated materials and caused some in­ convenience to some students this past fall break, it has been established that all breaks for the remainder of the academic year will begin at 5 p.m. on the last scheduled day of classes. •U scores high in accounting Society holds state convention ASU News Bureau achian State University " n g majors taking the "r 1987 CPA exam placed on ally in auditing and third y in the four-part exam, ' to the September 1988 issue *->c"ountant magazine. *°t luck, it's been a contHing," acting Accounting n t chair Dr. Ray Larson ">e May 1986 exam students ranked third «*» auditing and fifth inlaw.

"The test looks 7 solving abilities, but we •^l^es of the fence-We're an in the middle between a narrow focus on the exam and the purely theoretical," he said. Besides covering the material, faculty members help motivate students and make extra effort to be available to students outside of class. Secondly, students are willing to put forth the effort to succeed on the exam, which tests knowledge of auditing, law, practice and theory. "The exam is a grueling experience. It's 19 and a half hours over two and a half days and it tests everything," Larson said. He added that only about 20 percent of first time testtakers pass the CPA exam. Appalachian's pass rate for firsttime takers without advanced degrees was the highest in the state with 37.5 percent on the November exam, in the category of schools with at least 20 candidates being tested. Appalachian students placed first in auditing and theory in the state, second in law and third in practice. "Number three is that other students have passed," Larson said. "I can tell a class 'You remember these people who sat beside you last year—They did it and you can do it.' That gives them confidence, and that's a key ingredient," he added. According to Larson, the exam review is the fourth reason. Students taking the May exam have a full semester to review material for the test. Those taking the November test have two months. Students work in groups of two or three and help each other with scholastic and emotional support. They don't take breaks since fall break is only two to three weeks before the November exam, and spring break is six weeks before the May exam. Larson said Appalachian's optional 10-week internships for accounting majors give students practical experience, and they see the value of passing the exam on their first try. "You don't have to have your CPA to get a job with an accounting firm, but you'll have to get it sooner or later," Larson said. "When you're working 12, 14 or 16 hour days you don't have time to study for the exam. If you've passed it you won't have to worry about it, and that's important to be able to func­ tion in the working world," Larson said. He added that about threefourths of students who intern come back to campus with job offers By STANNA SIMANDLE Appalachian Staff Writer Gamma Beta Phi will be hosting the society's state convention at the High Country Inn October 28-30. "Friday is the registration day. We're having a pool party Friday for people to get to know each other. The social committee is working on games and stuff to get people acquainted," Vice president of Gamma Beta Phi, Pam New said. "The actual meeting starts on Saturday and runs through half a day on Sunday." Between 80-100 people are expected to attend the convention this year. "It's going to be bigger than last year's state convention, which was held at East Carolina," New said. Activities during the convention in­ clude judging other Gamma Beta Phi chapter scrapbooks, electing state of­ ficers, selecting the state project and finshing any business since the Na­ tional convention. "We get together and make nominations for next year's state of­ ficers, which is the big part," New said. The three largest chapters of Gam­ ma Beta Phi in North Carolina are at ASU, East Carolina and N.C. State. The majority of the chapters are smaller ones from two-year schools. "For some reason, even though we have such a large chapter, we haven't really been involved on the state and national levels. Starting last year we've been trying to improve that. That's why we volunteered to host the state convention this year. Its been a long time since Appalachian's done it," New added. ASU's chapter hosted a Fall Leadership Conference last year, which paved the way to their state convention involvement. This year the chapter hopes to elect state of­ ficers from their membership. " I he past two or three years the state positions have been dominated by East Carolina students. We're go­ ing to try to change that around," New said. Following nominations, speeches from the candidates for the positions for state president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer will be heard. Voting will take place on Sunday. A state advisor will also be chosen at the convention. "There are meeting times when all the chapter presidents get together and discuss things that are going on. Chapter advisors also get together to exchange ideas," New said. The delegates to the state conven­ tion will also vote on which organiza­ tions Gamma Beta Phi chapters in the state will contribute to after the state project has been chosen from the State Vice-President's two nomina­ tions. "Anything that's come up between the National Convention in the spring and the state convention is taken care of," New added. ASU Gamma Beta Phi ol Sadie Auman, Pam New, Hughes, Natalie Kurylo, I Dickinson and chapter advisor Smith will be attending the state vention. ASU Gamma Beta members may attend the conve for a service point. The national vention wil be held this yea Nashville, Tenn., for the se straight year.

Few other than NCEI believe the situation is changing. NCEI's forecasts were "more robust" than the data suggested, American Federation of Teachers' research director, Jewell Gould said. "NCEI ignored reports from the Labor Department that 35 to 40 per­ cent of the teaching force will be eligi­ ble for retirement by the end of the century," Gould said. "And half of those who start teaching now will drop out of the profession in five years." "She ignored the children who can't get into special education pro­ grams or who may lose the programs they have because the district can't find special ed. teachers or therapist," Gould said. Math and science teacheis aiso ait badly needed, Gould said. NCEI is a "reverse Chicken Little" in the eyes of Marilyn Rogers of the National Education Association (NEA). "They are alone in saying 'no shortage.' " "To meet the need for teachers," Rogers said, "about 25 percent of all the students in college are needed in teacher education, currently we have only 8 percent." Rogers cited a NEA survey of 191 school districts that found teacher shortages in several disciplines. Of the surveyed districts, 45 percent had a shortage of teacher applicants. School districts faced with short­ ages use "warm body techniques" to fill vacancies, Rogers said. They award emergency teaching cer­ tificates, assign teachers to courses outside their certification area, use teacher aides arid increase class sizes. "If there is no chemistry teacher, the district doesn't offer the course. There's no vacancy that way, but the kids are shortchanged." Marilyn Rogers Another method is to eliminate course offerings. "If there is no chemistry teacher, the district doesn't offer the course! There's no vacancy that way, but the kids are shortchanged," Rogers said. Rogers joined Gould in questioning NChi's methods. She used people who responded to (NCEI's job bank) ads, people who don't have a teaching job. How representative of the teaching profes­ sion are they?" At the Western Interstate Commis­ sion for Higher Education, which reported that education programs in the 14 western states will not produce enough teachers io meet the needs of the region through the 1990's, Charles Lenth had kinder words for the NCEI study.

He is the oldest son of Gus and Faye. He is Willie's idol. Oswald is a college senior, owns an ant farm, wears an hxxon pocket protector and sports Beast cologne (you know— If vou love |Brut then you'll love Beast). Oswald used to live in an apartment in Boone. He was that student who called the cops everytime there was a party. A party meant more than four people with two beers each. Oswald's lease, like many others, ran out in May. He promptly moved all of his possessions out of the apartment. The Imost important being his Lone Ranger bed spread, velvet oil painting of Wayne Newton and leopard skin beanbag. Oswald's landlord, Mr. Grubb, inspected the apartment and then gave him the okay to leave. Mr. Grubb said that he would send Oswald his security deposit in the mail. It's October now and Oswald still has not received his security deposit from Mr. Grubb. Oswald is too much of a wimp to pressure Mr. Grubb for his money, but according to the law, there are a few simple things that he can do to get his money back. II you, like Oswald, are having pro­ blems with your landlord making repairs, not returning deposits or breaking your lease, we suggest that you do the following: 1- Write a letter to your landlord stating your demands. 2. Give your landlord a specific amount of time to comply with your letter. 3. Send the letter to your landlord by registered mail. 4. If your demands are not met within your specified amount of Internship Continued from Page 1 Your landlord is required by law to return your security deposit within 30 days of the termination of your lease. They are also required to send you an itemized list of any deductions they may take from your deposit.

You might evetv be breathing a sigh of relief that it is over. Well, if you aren't, there's two someones out there who probably are. Ever wonder who is "in charge" of Homecoming? Well, you could call Public Affairs Director April Griffin and Assistant Public Affairs Director Amy Andrews the Big Cheeses of Homecoming. April and Amy assist SGA cabinet members by helping them with publicity for their individual commit­ tees, but Homecoming is really their big baby. They started planning it in September. April even thought about it some over the summer by visiting other universities to get an idea of their Homecomings. They did a few things differently this year—RSA, A.P.P.S. and SGA got together to coordinate activities so there wouldn't be conflicts that might diminish crowd enthusiasm. What was the hardest part about trying to plan a Homecoming celebra­ tion? "The hardest thing about trying to get this to all come together was just the fact that I'd never done this (planned a Homecoming) before," April said. "This Homecoming was different from others because we had so many people's input." April got a lot of help from a lot of different people. These include Steve Ferguson from Media Services who suggested the actual theme of this year's Homecoming. Hugo Murillo did the artwork on the T-shirts and posters. Janet Avant was a big help by doing the Homecoming elections. Sammy Hartley, Gary Greene and Nancy Jones all added their fair share of input, and even the ASU print shop pitched in a helping hand. April admits that at first she was apprehensive about taking on such a big responsibility. "I thought, what if this is more than I can do? But there were no problems with anything. Next year we'll shoot for something even bet­ ter." Yes, April and Amy already have an eye turned towards the future. One of their ideas for next year includes making a self-help booklet for whoever takes over the next year. This wouldn't contain any concrete guidelines, just some suggestions they wish they'd had to help them out. They are looking for feedback from See PARTY Page 4 SGA President Gary Greene congratulates April Griffin on a great job with Homecoming. Elvis abounds in the Other Big Apple Road Race By J SHAVER Rv T CU A VL'D Appalachian Staff Writer If a story circulating the English department is to be believed, ASU and the Other Big Apple Road Race are due for a visit from the greatest rock legend of all time. "This year, and you've got the scoop, there is a rumor that Elvis is going to be in the road race," English professor Gene Miller said. "He's been seen, as you probably know, all around the country and word has it that Elvis, this year, is going to make an appearance in the Big Apple Road Race." Reaction to this momentous news has been surprisingly matter-of-fact. "Well, it's been my belief that Elvis faked his death many years ago so that he could go into training for this race,"" Sophomore Charlie Finks said. "I think, we'll see a whole new Elvis; fit, trim Elvis with a fighting attitude," he said. Finks said that he fully tends to go see Elvis if he manages to wake up before the race ends on Saturday. Miller said that he has heard that Elvis will probably not be alone. "Actually, rumor has it that bet­ ween twelve and fifteen Elvises may be running in this road race," he said. "There may be Elvii (pro­ nounced with a long I) strung out from the beginning to the end of this race," he said. It is not clear whether Miller meant that there would be stragglers among the Elvii when he said "strung out," or if he was referring to the Presley's famous drug addic­ tion, or both. It is also not known whether the bulk of the Elvii are im­ itators, clones, space aliens or some of the numerous illegitimate Presley offspring rumored to exist. English professor Georg Gaston happily admits to being married to one of the infamous Elvii. "It's one of the most rewarding experiences in life," he said. Strange costumes have become a tradition with the race. "This is the fifth year that a number of us, mainly from the English department, have gotten together and done a concept for the road race," Miller said. They have run as such things as a centipede, a chain gang, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and the Mouseketeers. Miller got the idea for the activity on a trip to California while watch­ ing the Bay to Breakers Race, a 10 kilometer run that takes place in San Francisco. "It features the world championship centipede competition," he said. "Centipede teams from all over the country come out there to run in this competition. Some of them are very serious; the University of Texas centipede team for example, runs the race in about 36 minutes, all linked together," Miller said. 'But for most of the people who go out there, it's Halloween. They just dress up in outrageous costumes, and imagine 20,000 people in costume, running this road race; it's a surreal experience," he said. Miller said he has information that leads him to expect a young, wholesome Elvis to appear. "What I took care of was getting Elvis masks," he said. "I got that by calling Graceland and getting them to send me two 8 x 10 black and white glossy photos of the young Elvis," he said. Miller copied these on a xerox machine to make masks and distributed them to the many members of the Elvii team. Miller said that most of the costumes would probably be of the plain shirt and jeans variety, much in keeping with the image of the young Elvis. "I have heard some talk of heavy sequins, " he said. "Maybe an occa­ sional guitar, maybe some blue suede Reeboks." Miller said he did not expect Elvis to win. He did not say whether this was because of Presley's weight, age, or the fact that he has been dead for years. Elvis could not be reached for comment on the rumors or his rac­ ing strategy. It is not known whether he intends to run down to the end of Lonely Street.

I undert peace officers often need t he legal speed so they can t hey are needed, but I o'W it was okay for them to an unsafe distance. Saturday night the Voltage Brothers were in town for Homecom­ ing, and they were explosive. The 11 member powerhouse won the docile crowd over after the first two songs. The Brothers' city slick and punchy sound was irresistible, even to a calloused cynic such as myself. Upon first entering ASU's grocerystore-turned -night-club (a.k.a. H'Appy's), I couldn't help but notice I was sharing the place with two other people. I looked at my watch, sighed, and with notebook in hand I strode across the empty dance floor and seated myself at one of the small tables. This was going to be a night to remember and I could already see that my lifelong dream of sitting in a darkened, former grocery store with 16 bouncers and a kissing couple in the corner was about to become a reality. Beyond this, I was already try­ ing to imagine what 11 black men were going to think of the gawky, white college kid that was going to knock on their dressing room door during their break. As 1 sat alone, I scribbled out some stupid questions to ask the Brothers. When I looked up, the place was get­ ting full and the stage lights had been brought down. The recorded music stopped and slowly the half-lit stage was filled with almost a dozen silhouettes. Suddenly the lights were up and the air was filled with the Voltage Brother's powerful horn sec­ tion. From that point on, the music did not let up until the break. "Ben, sometimes you don't feet tike making love to your girlfriend, but you do it anyway... Man, you do it because you love it. " Roody Drummer for Voltage Brothers To simply watch the Voltage Brothers on stage is as entertaining as listening to their music. The energy put out by the band is enough to make even the most respectable stiff move. The band has four front men who are constantly moving, even when they are playing their horns or singing. Half way through the second song, the dance floor was filled; the Voltage Brothers had proven themselves. The band played everything from Roll With It," by Steve Winwood to "Sitting On The Dock of The Bay," by Otis Redding. Their show was very tight and smooth. There were no lulls or obvious screw-ups the entire night. This is the result of a well-practiced band. I have to admit I was impressed when they pulled off "Don't Worry, Be Happy." I enjoyed it in spite of the fact that about 15 severely intox­ icated girls were wailing the chorus like they wanted to join the band. * Soon the break rolled around and I headed for the dressing rooms. At the door I was greeted by the lead singer, Larry, who shook my hand and said we should find the drummer who loved to talk. Sitting on the front of the stage, surrounded by a group of people was Roody, the drummer. He was covered with sweat. After our introduction, Larry and Roody led me back into the dressing rooms so we could talk. After a few minutes in their presence, 1 was no longer nervous. They were as funny and light in per­ son as they were on stage. This is rare among performers. I asked about two questions and the rest of the time we just talked (I mostly listened). The band was particularly pumped up because they were playing for a col­ lege crowd. Roody said the band likes 'o play for students because they still have open minds about music and See VOLTAGE Page 6 Boone's diverse music scene is sounding good Along the same lines is a band called The King Bees.

Fear and Loathing is another experimental band that is out to shock you. Their own personal brand of "funk, punk psychedelic disco-death metal from hell more or less" is something to witness. Flyers boast "A night of dancing! Power cords! Fog!" Karston Schroeer (vocals), Lawrence Wind (guitar), Jeff Umbarger (bass) and recent addition Steve Carter (drums) are quickly developing a following. Rumor has it that the CMA department may be planning a Fear and Loathing video in the near future. The Outer Limits are a progressive rock band that has attained a large following in Boone. Rob Schladensky (drums), Greg Pope (bass), Will Marley (guitar, vocals) and new guitarist Steve King boast a repertoire of 45-50 original tunes, and they are presently "shopping around for pressing companies" in an effort to gain some support for an EP. An exciting, upcoming event for The Outer Limits is a date with the group Fishbone in Wilmington. Another new and experimental band on the alternative scene is No Reason Why which consists of Chris By MICHO Appalachian Slaff Wriler I wish we'd gotten biber) made us wait 5 ^ check for outstand. °n my roommate in P °me county of Burke _ s best as I can figure, i »hutes because I had on ^bg with a leather combed hair and °emmate has long I Cybulski (guitar), Ron Keever (drums), Rob Mathews (bass) and Wendy Sykes (vocals). Cybulski describes the band's sound as "electic." "We're like the Kellogg's Variety Pack of cereal. We blend several sounds funky, syncopated bass, psychedelic guitars and a young fresh outKJftk on music," Cybulski said. He claims they "get into the groove" when they play live. Lastly, this area's alternative scene is not without new blood. Life After Lunch is a band that is about to emerge for your hearing pleasure. These guys are a "multi-ethnic" group according to bassist Dave Alston. Alston, Dave Ng and guitarist/vocalist, John Golden will be ready with about 15-20 original songs in about four weeks and hope to fill an opening slot for a headlining band somewhere. Alston describes the sound as a sort of guitar-based pop. That almost covers the regular area bands in existence at this time. On occasion one can catch the '60's influenced Stream of Consciousness, but these guys are presently involved in individual projects. Also the poprock band Voce can be seen around the area. Finally there are the usual circulation of bands that bless Boone with their presence; Discord, Awareness Art Ensemble, The pretty Cr |jne> sure we didn't an(j jjecause .

There is a great deal to see in Boone in the way of music. My theory is that with so small a circulation of bigname bands through Boone, the students entertain themselves with their own music. Chris Cybulski claimed he liked the people who attend shows in Boone. "I like the crowds here," Cybulski said. "It seems alien to Boone, but everyone dances at the shows up here," he said Besides the good crowds, another positive aspect of the music scene is the restaurants that host many of the shows. Klondike Cafe, Amadeus and Sollecito's are the few places a band can perform live in Boone. Sollecito's is gaining approval as one of the bet­ ter clubs in the area. Sollecito's Fan Club has only been open for three months but has already provided gigs for The King Bees, The Outer Limits, Stream of Consciousness and Voce. The Fan Club is certainly a plus for the music scene. Let the music stand for itself! One observaton prevalent among all band members is the tremendous talent present in Boone. For a town this size, we are unquestionably fortunate to have this talent, and we can only hope the music scene will continue to expand and multiply.

MACBETH: On Tuesday, October 25, Farthing Auditorium will be transformed into a renaissance gala for the performance of the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival's "Macbeth." This is the fifth event in this year's Major Perfor­ ming Arts Series. The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival is taking the show on the road for eight weeks and plans to play to over 30,000 people. Louis Rackoff is the director, Michael LaGue will play Macbeth and Rhoda Griffis will play Lady Macbeth. Macbeth gives us a startingly exaggerated theatrical story probing Macbeth's ambition and lust for power, the radical means he uses to achieve his ends and the turning of the circle back upon his malevolence," Rackoff said. Shown above is the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival in a production of King Lear from a past season. Before the performance Tuesday night, Farthing will host a Renaissance Gala complete with minstrels and refreshments. The Gala begins at 7 p.m. and Shakespeare's tragedy will begin at 8 p.m. For ticket information call Sharon Trivette at Stu­ dent Programs at 262-3032. Iggy Pop: Instinct Overall: Almost not satisfactory Trivia: Iggy Pop was born James Jewel Osterburg in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1947. He was involved with music all his life from blues to punk. His most famous band was known as the Stooges and were based in Detroit. Iggy was the catalytic vocalist with the Asheton brothers Ron and Scott, who played guitar and drums respectively, and Dave Alexander on bass. Iggy was the man on stage—he was beaten, puked, and indulged in fellatio with members of the audience. The Stooges made it big in 1969—seven years before the punk revolution. Iggy's best friend is David Bowie; their friendship began in the early 1970s when the Stooges put together the Raw Power album. Drugs, craziness, and eroticism kept Iggy at the apex of the scene for years. It got so bad that he and Bowie decided they better rehabilitate or crash and burn. The result was an LP titled The Idiot released in 1977. After a few years off, the Metallic KO tour happened featuring Tony DeFries (bass), Hunt Sales (drums), Ricky Gardiner (guitar), Iggy Pop (vocals), and David Bowie (keyboards). Since then, Iggy has released a few solo albums, has gotten married, and has taken a 180 degree turn from his hayday with the radicals of punk. He's on tour now with Jane's Addiction opening and is expected to play in Charlotte late October. On this LP, Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols plays the crappiest guitar I've ever heard. Seamus Beaghen plays keyboards and Leigh Foxx is on bass while Paul Garisto beats bogus drums. It was produced by Bill Laswell on A&M records. Drugs, craziness, and eroticism kept Iggy at the apex of the scene for years. Like most albums, Instinct has its good points as well as the terrible. Personally, the music is redundant and gets old quickly. For example, the first tune titled "Cold Metal" sounds like a song from the movie Spinal Tap. I am so disgusted. The second tune is excel­ lent—"High on You" (and not to be confused with the Survivor tune with the same title.) This is the Iggy I was expecting. Influences of David Bowie's "Cat People" are obvious and refreshing. Unfortunately, Steve Jones has a solo guitar lick on every track of this album. Ugh! It's ridiculous—he's got to stop hanging out with Dweezil Zappa. "Strong Girl" is the third tune and has that "New Values" sound from Iggy s fifth album. Once again, a track is destroyed by Steve Jones You would think a guy like Iggy would get a better guitarist than this god. Steve Miller could cover this next one without a problem. It's titled "Tom Tom." A wimpy drum beat See IGGY Page 6 �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y, OCTOBER 20. 1988 Voltage T| ed pi. Rt th tir Continued from Page 5 to 60,000 as well as to audiences of 15.

Smugly, both Debbie and Madonna strut off stage as it would now be Tiffany's turn to prove herself ir. this open forum.

Together Tiffany and Davey lovingly sing the emotional duet, "I've Had The Time Of My Life." All of this Dirty Dancing would be too much for °1 David, and he dies from a heart at­ tack and falls off stage crushing Madonna.

HARRIS Appalachian Slaff Writer ) ears ago, thrill seekers could go to the movies and see a picture that kept them on the edge of their seats. Directors aimed for scaring audiences with the unexpected, a skeleton in the closet or an uninvited guest sneaking up behind the movie star. Now , in the civilized world many Americans are oddly fascinated by violence on the movie screen. Gone are the thrills and chills of old, replaced by blood, gore and cruelty. The memory of Don V Look in the Basement is still lodged in my mind. That movie was the first of the few horror films I have ever endured. As a small child, I sat watching people murder others in cold-blooded ram­ pages on the huge drive-in screen. The after effect of that movie was a week of horrible nightmares. That movie was released well over a decade ago. Movies have progressed into even more explicit acts of violence. I shudder at the thought of a six-year old watching camp counselors being slaughtered in the Friday the 13th series. What will psychologically happen to those children if they should be sent off to psychologically damaging to those camp? who are constant viewers.

Nept: gh of •lative ifluer»< ASU and ETSU matchup promises excitemt The By AUBREY HOOVER Assistant Sports Editor When Appalachian meets East Ten­ nessee State this Saturday in Boone both teams will be trying to rebound after embarrassing homecoming losses. The Buccanneers were steamrolled by Marshall 50-14, and ASU fell to Furman 24-9. ETSU is all but out of contention for the Southern Conference crown; however, the Apps have a chance to reestablish themselves in what has seemingly become a five team race. Marshall is leading the league with a 3-0 mark, while four teams complete a logjam at the top of the conference. 1 „1 1 UtFurman, ASU, the Citadel and r r. Chattanooga all have 2-1 records in league play. The Bucs will come to Boone riding a five-game losing streak. In those five losses the ETSU defense has given up 188 points. Marshall racked up nearly 500 yards of total offense and held the Bucs to 220 yards of of­ fense. The Mountaineers should come in­ to this game sky-high after having their 20-game regular season con­ ference winning streak snapped. The ASU offense will be coming off its least productive outing of the year. The Apps managed only 233 yards and 10 first downs against a stiff iploy sho hool J items Ti — .

ETSU has not been able to stop anyone, run­ ning or passing. Ail-American Mark Barber of Marshall had a field-day against the Bucs, netting 220 yards in receptions. Appalachian's defense must get some help from the offense. Against Furman, the defense was on the field too long. By the end of the third quarter, Furman had worn down the ASU defense, and it showed when the Paladins racked up over 300 yards rushing. The most exciting thing to watch Saturday may be the battle of the specialty teams. ETSU has done an ,, V teamS- ETSU excellent job of returning kickoffs. Flag football offers competitive fun in Intramurals Flag football is one of the most popular intramural sports offered at Appalachian State by the Department ot Recreation, Intramurals, and Club Pons- The game includes men's women's and co-rec teams and . lows many °f the same rules used in regular football. The only varia­ tions in the rules are made in order to protect the safety of the players. The men's and women's teams field seven players while the co-rec teams van field eight. There are no kick-offs or field goals, but teams are allowed to punt on fourth down Almost 120 teams are participating in flag football this year. While the sport is competitive, it also provides a great deal of fun and excitment for the players. TKE Ta-Kill-Ya team member Dave Matheson believes that flag football has added to his college ex­ periences. Apps await SC tourney By TREY BARRINEAU Appalachian Staff W riter ASU s men's and women's cross country teams have been competing in a number of meets lately in prepara­ tion for the Southern Conference meet on October 29.

Gina Gomez finished eighty-eighth with a 20:23 time. Meanwhile, the men were running at Furman as well.

"We'll need to be much sharper at the con­ 4LULk I' ference meet." Charlie Storm was ASU's top finisher in the meet, coming in thirtysecond overall with a time of 32:17. David Ess placed sixty-ninth with a time of 33:55. Earlier in the season, the men's team won the Mountaineer Invitational in impressive fashion. "Overall, I felt we did a good job at Furman.

Morris Piercey came in fourteenth with a time of -6:24, and Todd Walters was seven­ teenth in 26:40. After playing for four years, I can say that flag football has provided me with some of my fondest memories at ASU," he said. Flag football rules limit contact to that made when a defensive player at­ tempts to grab the flag from the oftensive opponent's waist. Many players are members of varsi­ ty teams other than football, while other players use flag football as a continuance of high school athletics.

RUSTY DARNELL, PhotographicEditor By QUENTIN COMPSON Appalachian Columnist ANNETTE BRANDI.E, Copy Editor NICOLE PARSONS, Copy Editor HEATHER HARTSOC, I am deeply troubled that there is any need for me to write this... I have been writing commentary for The Appalachian for quite some time now, and the (unfortunately false) premise under which I have been writing is that the ASU community is familiar with the ideas of opinion, satire, sarcasm and cynicism. These concepts are cornerstones of just about everything I write. Editorial Production Manager TERESA CHALK, Advertising Production Manager i ternship program Who was it...Anne Frank? Who said "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." Too bad she didn 't wake up and smell the coffee in time. Look what happened to her. disservice to SU students Most of my writing has appeared on the Opinion page of this n newspaper. It stands to reason that opinions appear on the Opinion page. For those of you who do not know, an OPINION (as defined by Funk and Wagnalls) means: A conclusion or judgment held with confidence, but falling short of positive knowledge. is in question concerning the issue of Vice Chancellor of Development Dr. Dave Mclntire and the Appalachian Summer t L»ip program is nepotism. t , t i s m is favoritism shown or patronage granted by persons in f i c e to relatives or close friends. State rules prohibit employing • s in situations in which a family member holds a position with c e over another's employment, promotion or salary. fac t is, Mclntire's high school daughter was allowed to be e d and participate in an internship program here at ASU when u 1 d not have been, as well as another faculty member's high s o n who should not have been allowed to participate in the l i p program, either. If they had not been allowed to participate / t his whole incident would not have occurred. i k es one wonder why high school students were given preference urrently enrolled ASU students who possibly would have - d for the internship program. Don't you know what satire is? Except for facts presented in sup­ port of his opinion, everything on the Opinions page reflects only the author's opinion. Opinions are like...well, you know that story. If your opinion differs from an opinion you've read in The Appalachian, t he violation is not of such magnitude that it merits firing action should be taken to ensure that something of this 5* e s " o t h a PP e n again.

In this ancellor Thomas should be commended. ecedmg editorial is not endorsed by Editor-in-Chief, Shelley ^ Opinion Page Editor, Mark Williams. Perhaps the reason satire upsets so many people is because it is an effective way to present a different perspective on almost any reverent subject. Funk and Wagnalls also defines SATIRE: Sarcasm, irony or wit used to ridicule or expose abuses or follies. I find the exaggeration and extremism of sarcasm most effective in writing opinionated commentary. Humorous satire is a part of our culture. NBC's Saturday Night Live (The WeekendUpdate in particular), The National Lampoon, MAD Magazine and HBO's Not Necessarily The News are but a few of the many examples of satire. Lest I falsely lead you to believe that satire is a new thing, I must mention Mark Twain (the pen name of Samuel Clemmons, a wellknown American satirist and one of my heroes). Many of Twain's best known and most respected works are the ones in which he satirized religion, the Bible and human nature. I am not trying to compare myself to Mark Twain. I think the similarity ends with pissing off people. Perhaps the reason satire upsets so many people is because it is an effec­ tive way to present a different perspective on almost any reverent subject. Since most people lack the capability to accept (or even acknowledge) the plurality of views on any given subject (particularly those of a moral, religious or ethical nature), commentary that lampoons their views can be quite upsetting to them. Satire is a not-so-serious look at many things people take far too seriously. Get over it. An OPINION (as defined by Funk and Wagnalls) means: A conclusion or judg held with con­ fidence, but falling short of positive knowledge. Case in point: I wrote an article expressing a view in favor of abor­ tion. Many small/narrow/closedminded people wrote to The Appalachian to say things like, "I love God and my wife didn't have an abortion and now my daughter plays piano." I am so touched. Yeah, right. William O'Flaherty committed one of the worst imaginable journalistic sins by presenting a series of his personal opinions as facts. 1 cannot emphasize enough that it is only an opinion that fetuses are living beings, especially during the early months of pregnan­ cy. But that's another story (And an old one at that). Perhaps the most stupid response to that column was the one by the lady who wrote in to say that "fear of rejection" was a reason not to use birth control, and thusly that "low self-esteem" was a cause of "unplanned pregnancy." The only thing that I can imagine more stupid than saying that is someone actually not using birth control because they're afraid they won't get laid if they do. Ignorance abounds. Webster defines another adjective people like to use to describe my writing. CYNICAL: Denying the sincerity of people's motives and actions. Well, Pollyanna, the world is not full of altruistic do-gooders who want the best for everyone. Who was it...Anne Frank? Who said, "In 1 spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." Too bad she didn't wake up and smell the coffee in time. Look what happened to her. Excuse the Hell out of me for being a realist. Go ahead and live in your pink-bubble-opalescent world, but don't expect me to. As long as there are Homo sapiens on the streets, I'll be a cynic. . If I can spend half an hour of my time utilizing my typewriter, sarcasm, cynicism and satire to produce a col­ umn that provokes a thought in the mind of one of the apathetic many, then I have done my job. If you disagree with something I've said, organize your thoughts sometime (try it sometime, it won't hurt, I promise) and write your own opinion. If you can't defend your opinion, maybe it's time to change your perspective. Amen. Your vote undoubtably not your own By ERIC D. MILLER Appalachian C olumnist Li ose who have read coverage of this recent incident in The r/rfan, the Watauga Democrat or the Charlotte Observer, l y you see that Mclntire is in clear violation of nepotism. He demonstrated "favoritism" for his daughter in terms of her 2 a letter grade where grades normally had not been given instead of falling into a state of shock or flying into a rage, or writing a reac­ tionary letter personally attacking the columnist, you should sit down and plan an articulate expression of your opinion. Who knows? Someone might even take you seriously. Last Thursday night's presidential debate isn't going to make a bit of dif­ ference in how the voters cast their ballots on November 8. In fact, many of the things which the national media likes to say are important to voters, really are not. Things like debates and TV commercials don't really matter. What does really matter is often ig­ nored or overlooked, so I have taken it upon myself to prepare a list of the 10 most important factors in this year's election. 1. Which party your parents belong to This is probably the single most im­ portant factor in how we vote. You can all say yon are fair-minded college students all you want to, but in a crunch you still trust mommy and daddy's judgement. 2. How your employer wants you to vote This is another goody which everyone denies. But if you know that your employer is a big Bush fan, you itJ X aren't likely to suggest the two of you have lunch at the local branch of the ACLU. 3. Who your girl/boyfriend or spouse supports The reasons why are obvious here. The future of the free world can seem pretty trivial if your opposite sex com­ panion refuses to speak to you because of that "damn Dukakis sticker" on your car bumper. 4. Age Yeah this one does matter. Wasn't it Pete Townsend of The Who who once said, "Hope I die before I get old?" He's probably a Bush sup­ porter now. 5. Religion If your preacher gets up and rants and raves about the "blasphemous" portrayal of Christ in The Last Temp­ tation of Christ, then you are less like­ ly to support a man who is against government censorship. This is one of the things which the ACLU fights, censorship of any kind. 6. Who your best friend favors This one goes both ways. Either you are so insecure that you may lose your friend that you agree with him/her on everything, or you are so desperate for conversation that you disagree with them in order to have something to discuss. 7. How that jerk across the street is voting If someone you despise is voting a certain way, then whoever they are voting for must be the anit-chHst. 8. How a person with a political bumper sticker on their car drives If some pulls out in front of you and the first thing you see is "BUSH/QUAYLE 88" then Dukakis has probably just gained a vote. 9. What students are taught This is supposedly why college students are so liberal. Not so. From my observations there are as many, or more, conservative students at ASU as there are liberals. I believe this is due to a shift from liberal arts majors to more of a business/money- making/gimme-gimme kind of em­ phasis over the last decade. (Sad but true). 10. How well candidates lie My favorite. This is the biggest fa<tor in this year's election. Bush is a better liar than Dukakis. If the Duke was as good at lying as Bush, he would have no problem convincing voters that Bush was a right-wing dic­ tator who wants to eat everyone's children. In my opinion, this would be no less true than many of the rumors concerning Mike Dukakis' character which the Bush campaign has started. So who is going to win? Bush pro­ bably. Why? I don't know really, maybe people think that he's really just Ronald Reagan dressed up in a good disguise. But it's not all bad really, I have to have something to complain about for the next few years on this page and on this point I am confident that George Bush will not let me down. ©1985 By N\/\rt GKdehinC J LulJiJijD J5i C-HAPTcfc lo HOW TO BE s '2 To Be It?

Don't just sit there and condemn the institution. You are the reason ASU exists. Quit your belly aching and partying and DO SOMETHING. Are you actively involved in organizations that could make a difference? Are there faculty, staff and students who say, "That's not my problem?" Just because some efforts to change things did not result in the desired outcome does not mean that we can just complain and not be heard. If you have a spark of hope, some spunk, a willingness to work hard, try and try again, and really believe in the American dream. I have two sugges­ tions for you. These are by no means original.

The Board endorses the plan of UNC system President C.D. Spangler to increase faculty salaries dur­ ing the 1989-91 biennium. Another area of concern for the Trustees is minority recruitment. To increase the number ol black students, faculty, and staff at ASU the board suggests that the administration should increase the number of black faculty | •« because the presence of black faculty in suffi­ cient numbers is a key factor in the recruit­ ment and retention of black students. Plans are also being formulated about pre­ sent facilities. The Trustees endorse the ad­ ministration's plans to add more walkways and greenways to campus, to improve air quality, and to build better physical facilities. Chancellor John Thomas says that feasibility studies have already been conducted. "We've had a private consultant from Durham (Dick Bell) come in and identify parcels of land that we could build on," he said. He added that not much is definite at this time. One thing that is definite is a new parking deck. "It's in this year's budget and it's been ap­ proved by the Board of Governors," Thomas said. The $4 million deck will hold approx­ imately 400 cars and will be located between Gardner and Justice residence halls. "As you know, parking is one of the big problems on this campus. It's our hope that this new deck, and the others we have plann­ ed, will help alleviate the problem," he said. Thomas has also acknowledged the traffic problem in Boone.

The draft report concluded Washington's tuition increases, anyway, were well founded in real needs to buy more teaching tools, offer more student aid and improve other fundraising programs. "All of these developments have been necessary to remain vital as an institution, to turn a declining environment into a competitive environment," the report said. Amid mixed metaphors, Cater was jubilant. "There may be some colleges that have waste, fraud and abuse, but we opened up everything to Pelavin (and Associates). We passed the litmus test and didn't have drugs in our urine," Cater said. Two weeks ago, a separate study by Research Associates of Washington, D.C., of the prices colleges pay for the goods and services they use to run their campuses also concluded schools were being run efficiently.

It's just an election -s1 However, some people may still complain that using a condom is too much of an inconvenience and reduces the pleasure and romance of the act.

The con­ doms were very thick and porous, prompting one French marquis to condemn them as, "armor against love, gossamer against infection." • Only after 1870 did a vulcanized rubber condom appear, but these were not thin, not sterile and not disposable. Today thin, sterile, and disposable rubber condoms are readily available. Unless they are used properly however, they are ineffective as a pro­ tective or a contraceptive method. Here's how to use one: • • • vv y7 rw •prqad no evil,.

On these, allow about a half inch at the end by pinch­ ing the very tip of the condom before you begin to roll it on, making sure it is not filled with air. • After the man ejaculates, his penis usually starts to get soft, so you must pull out right away. Hold on to the top of the condom as you pull out so it won't come off before the penis is away from your partner. • Do not stretch, inflate or even unroll a condom before you are ready to use it. • Slowly unroll the condom on over the tip of the entire penis as soon as it is erect, and before you and your partner get close. If you are not cir­ cumcised, you must pull the foreskin back before putting on the condom. • Never use a condom more than once. • Leave room at the tip of the con­ dom to catch the semen.

When used properly with foam, it is an effective contraceptive method. The advantages of using a condom today during sexual inter­ course definitely outweigh the disad­ vantages. So, remember to use a con­ dom to practice safe and responsible sex.

Appalachian Columnist An ASU student came home after class today and sat down at his desk, stepping into the personality of his pen name to write another column expressing an opinion guaranteed to piss people off. He searched in his desk drawer for a new correction tape for his typewriter, but found instead a ghost. Ghosts aren't always things that appear in those midnight stories which titillate our childhood imagina­ tions. This ghost was an envelope, so thin that it contained almost no letter at all. Someone had taken pen and paper and had expressed emotion. No. No emotion. A total lack of emo­ tion. He remembered. He stirred write something about his cynicism, The quote didn't quite say it all around among the pens and assorted to try to explain just why he was so about the people he'd said "so long" junk. There were other letters. Other bitter. , to. No easy solutions. More ghosts to ghosts. deal with. Unsettled emotions.

There are people in this world who are always rushing things, always say­ ing "goodbye" before they have to, always saying "goodbye" when "so long" would do. Perhaps just too stupid to know that goodbyes happen too often as it is. Or perhaps just too stupid to understand that there is a difference in "so long" and "good­ bye." it, though, so he kept it. He sat thinking, trying to get past some minor writer's block. He was about to take a turn in the direction of cynicism, but the phone rang. It was an old friend from high school. A very old friend. He hadn't heard from her in years. She said that she had been reading an old yearbook and just had to call" after she read what he had written. Their conversation was cheerful, happy. They're going out one day next weekend. When they were about to hang up their respective telephones, she said, "Love ya." And instead of muttering something like, "Yeah," he said, "I love you." And There you go, folks. I am cynical. I am bitter. I am a pessimist. I haven't always been like that. In high school everyone thought that I was Mr. Sen­ sitive. People came to me with their problems, and I would listen, if not offer some sort of solution. Not any more. I am thick-skinned, caustic and not very friendly. I don't feel anything any more. I just don't care. The world is a bad place filled with evil people. Yeah, right. There are too many bad people, but there are enough honest-to-goodness "A friend forever" types from the backs of yearbooks to make me know that some people are worth the bother I'll take a little of this paper's valuable space to say something per­ sonal: To all of my ghosts (and you know who you are), you've got a cha friend. Some things don't change College students among those suffering from stress By ROBERT J. KRIEGFI. Ph.D. KRIEGEL, Ph IV College Press Service (CPS)—Worrying is the negative national pastime. Everybody does it and very few find it is a positive experience. You don't think clearly or perform well when you worry. Your main focus is the worry, the fear of "What might happen if...," which overwhelms you, makes you feel depressed, reduces your energy, and prevents you from getting your work done. College students are big worriers. That worry leads to stress and college students are very big on stress. In _ fact, the Nuprin Pain Report, the first national study on pain in America, documented that more people aged 18-24 are likely to suffer stress and pain than any older age group. Most of what we worry about is out of our control. You can't control other people's responses, a grade a prof will give us, whether someone will agree with us, what they think of us, the weather, traffic, roommates, money, how we look, grades, the future. The more we worry about things we can't control, the worse everything gets. Remember this rule of thumb: You can't control other people or external situations. But you can control how well you prepare for and respond to them. In other words, you control your information, attitude and actions. Worrying is made up of two words: what if. "What if...they say no, ...I don't get the money, .. .the professor assigns, .. .the traffic..." The key to beating the worries is to change the what if's to "if... then's." "If they say no... then I will. .." "If I don't get the money then I will..." Always change the worry to anticipation. Concentrating your energy on what you can change, rather than dwelling on things you can't control increases your confidence and prepares you for any situation. This strategy was used by President John F. Kennedy. Before his press conferences, Kennedy and his aides anticipated any possible question or situation that might arise and developed answers for them. Whether a reporter asked about the Viet Nam War, the economy ,or civil rights, Kennedy was prepared. Likewise, in a job interview, instead of worrying whether or not the potential employer will ask about your grades, anticipate that he or she will. Then mentally list wins, accomplishments and qualifications that your course grades might not reflect. Get into the habit of anticipating prior to any pressure situation, whether it's an exam, an interview, a date or a tennis serve. Make a "worry list," then change each worry (what if) to an anticipation (if. ..then). Leaving your worries behind by focusing on what you can control enables you to concentrate your energy and perform at peak levels.

Aubrey Hoover iladins on Homecoming By SABRINA SELLS Vppalachian Sports Editor luts to '0the distance Before a record Homecoming crowd of 25,301, the Appalchian State Mountaineers dropped their lirst conference game since 1985 to the Furman Paladins by the score of 24-9. The last regular season loss by the Apps was also to Furman. The Paladins scored on their open ing drive of 80 yards, moving the ball efficiently on the ground and in the air. The 7-0 lead by Furman pushed the momentum in favor of the Paladins and the ASU team found it difficult to regain their pre-game ex­ citement. Stopped on every drive in their own territory, the Mountaineers were forced to punt on fourth down. The first quarter ended with the score 7-0 in favor of the Furman squad.

The wishbone offense again steadily ran the ball into Appalachian territory, and with 2:08 remaining in the first half, Furman quarterback Frankie DeBusk broke away for a 36-yard run for a touchdown.

"It is a cruel sport with a lot of con­ tact," spectator D.J. Smith said. Many sport"* today have lost their original zest for just enjoying the sport. Other sports play just to win. That means many individuals do not get to play. Rugby is different though. Everyone gets to play. They play three "halves", only two of which count. The third period is basically played to let those who did not get to play gain some experience. The rugby players choose the team. There is no real coach. The players are there because they want to play. By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports \A rifer OB Alan Ross connected with split end Terry "T.O." Oliver five times for over 100 yards.

At least half of the players go on to play in various mens leagues such as the Raleigh Vipers or the Charlotte Bees after they participate in college. Rugby is an amateur sport that re­ quires a great deal of professional courage. "Rugby is a gentlemen's sport played by a bunch of animals," team player Newfie said. While there is not a trememdous turnout for these events, people could and should come to see what a dif­ ferent type of sport rugby is.

They were often played side by side with music by artists like David Lee Roth, Led Zeppelin, John Mellencamp, and Bruce Springsteen. That format was called "AOR/PROGRESSIVE" and it got some attention for trying to do something different. This year, however, it would be doubtful that the new Soul Asylum record would be played on WASU, except during a specialty show. This year almost all ''Progressive" music has been eliminated from "normal" format (some exceptions are the now socially acceptable Midnight Oil, Tracy Chap­ man, and The Church) and in its place are oldies from "Classic Rock" bands. The format is called "AOR/CLASSIC ROCK." Why the change? No one person can hold the same position two years in a row at WASU, so every spring different students are chosen for the variety of jobs available. Last year's Program Direc­ tor was familiar with "Album Oriented Rock." (AOR) and "Pro­ gressive music. Obviously, since that (Faith).

This article was going to be pro/con issue debate of the subject, however after further investigation and thought, 1 found nothing to say in favor of the proposition. Appalachian is here to serve students and to further their educa­ tion. On page four of the Ap­ palachian State General Bulletin for the 1988-1989 year underneath the heading "Purpose," I quote: • Appalachian State University seeks to nurture an intellectual climate in which the truth is sought and respected, criticii thinking is en­ couraged, cultural horizons are broadened, and ethical and aesthetic values are appreciated."

All of man's 'true' knowledge is revealed to him by God. All events are understood relative to their association with God (And there must be some association). No event in this world is understood to take place unless that event is caused by God or a supernatural force which opposes God (Satan?). The universe is a sacred crea­ tion because the creator instilled some of Himself in testable or supportable by some evidence before he the world through his act of creation. Any theory is believes in anything. The uncertainty as to what the plausible because it could have been revealed by a answers to ultimate questions are fuels a skeptical divine source. attitude.

Editor HEATHER HARTSOC Editorial cni See STUl'f �THE APPALACHIAN. TUESDA Y. OCTOBER IK. I9KK Is capital punishment a great thing? Yeah. Students By QUENTIN COMPSON Appalachian Columnist Our jails and prisons are full. Criminals stalk the street. Rapists and murderers are sentenced with a slap on the wrist. A life sentence can mean twenty years in prison with a chance for parole after only five years. Often criminals are released from prison onlv to commit the same or worse crimes again. This is not right. It costs thousands of dollars to keep someone in prison for only a year. Who pays for that? We do. We pay a huge portion of our taxes just so that the scum of the earth may continue to live, have good food and a clean, dry place to sleep at night. We pay good money so that Charles Manson can be comfortable. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think this bastard ought to be miserable. Let him sleep on the floor and eat gruel (I don't really know what gruel is, but it sounds horrible). Make him listen to Thriller. I don't know; find out what it is that he hates and make him put up with it. I know, the Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment. Does this apply to everyone or just to nor­ mal people? What about making the punishment fit the crime? I think Manson is cruel and unusual (there aren't that many people like him roaming around on campus) and I know that his crimes were cruel and unusual. I know two wrongs don't make a right (well, actually, I don't know that, but a lot of people like to go around saying that) and that being mean to Charles Manson won't accomplish anything (says who?), but how many wrongs do we let someone get away with before we say enough is enough? Why don't we just shoot him and everyone else like him? The people (?) in prison represent a huge burden on society. Not only have they violated laws (and often ultimately violated someone else's rights by killing them) but they have ceased to become productive members of society (not that they necessarily ever were worthwhile). In addition to that (as if that weren't bad enough!) these people are getting a free living from society. Sure, you might say, they have been deprived of their freedoms. Big deal. I can think of a lot worse things than having to sit around watching TV and eating. But, you might say, it s just as wrong to kill them as it was tor them to kill someone else. I'm not saying that capital punishment isn't wrong. Capital punishment is as morally wrong as anything I can think of. But capital punishment is economically practical. So let's just kill them all. I know that everyone has someone who loves them (I don't actually know that, but a lot of people go around saying so) and that those peo­ ple would be very upset if their criminal-loved ones were put to death. Big deal. Their criminal-loved ones are directly responsible for mak­ ing someone else's loved ones feel bad. And if the family and friends of that criminal don't want him to be executed, then let them be responsible for bearing the burden of protecting society from this beast. What? Make them pay the criminal's prison costs? Exactly. Make them pay if they want their murderer/rapist/other violent criminal to be allowed continued life. There are those among us who say that if we execute criminals, then society as a whole is criminal. They say, in effect that we all become murderers. They say that everyone has the right to live. Yes. Everyone does have the right to live. But (as my sixth grade teacher used to be fond of saying) for each of our rights we have a responsibility. It is our responsibili­ ty not to violate anyone else's rights 1 (for example, killing someone is a definite violation of their rights). And (as I also learned from that same sixth v -de teacher), our rights end where someone else's rights begin. I think society's main respon­ sibilities are to protect itself and to maintain an environment in which the society can prosper. Just as society protects itself from outside forces (such as those horrible Communists) we must protect ourselves from the equally bad people within our society. Though it may be hard to think of murderers and rapists as enemies (I can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with that, but some of you might), these people are definitely enemies. They oppose the ideas and requirements our society is founded upon. Just as we eliminate enemies from outside our geographical boun­ daries, we must eliminate enemies from within our own borders. So that brings us back to capital punishment. CAPITAL PUNISH­ MENT. Executing criminals. It amazes me that this upsets so many people. Our country could be respon­ sible for killing thousands or millions of innocent people in a war (by con­ ventional methods or using nuclear weapons) and we would have no problem sleeping at night. But let someone suggest that we eliminate a few of the sub-humans from our own society, and people are in a frenzy of guilt. The majority of us agree (I hope) that killing is wrong. Amazing as it may seem (if it seems amazing to you, then you must be really naive) there are many of us who do not think that killing is wrong. Who? Who, you are asking. Hmmm. Let's see. The thousands of people who are in jail because they hase killed someone (and the thousands more who are already out of prison after serving time for murder) must not think that killing is wrong. I hese people are a threat to society. So what do we do? Stand around and wring our hands while we wonder what to do about the problem? Let the situation get even more out of control until all a murderer has to do to atone for his crime is say, "I'm sorry"? Continue to let taxes rise and the national debt go beyond numbers that we have names for? Or are we go­ ing to say, "Enough is enough. Kill­ ing is wrong, capital punishment is wrong, but we have to do something • practical." I WASU .; *** From the Station Manager, who wants to one day be an FCC attorney, to that over night Disc Jockey, who just loves Rock & Roll, WASU would be totally run by students-for students. Keith Pittman is the Station Manager for WASU. Aside from be­ ing called a "whoremonger" by the Strodes family, he helped make the tough decisions to hire the different students for the variety of WASU staff positions. I recently talked with Keith about the threat of the faculty taking over WASU and turning it into a NPR sta­ tion. He -pointed out to me that '•./ v.li -* • • y - * •• i -.p WASU has one of the highest job placements on the east coast and that many of these graduates get jobs in the compeitive Charlotte market right after they graduate. Because most col­ lege stations are either NPR, or just a free-for-all on the part of the in­ dividual disc jockey, the commercial stations tend to overlook most of these graduates; with the exception of applicants from one university-ASU. Without keeping WASU student run, our graduates would lose that edge in the real world.

So we had a sponsor and people who were interested," Daye said. Awards for the race will be furnish­ ed by Forester Beverage Corporation and presented to the top three male and female finishers. Awards will also be presented to the top three male and female finishers from each of the ten age divisions. Special awards will be presented to the first male and female finishers in the alumni, faculty, staff and Yosef Club member categories. The first male and female walkers to finish the race will also receive awards. All finishers will receive a Bud Light long sleeved shirt.

I have a hard time believing that we perhaps had eighty volunteer actually help us put this race on," Daye said. Immdiately following the race will be a "Wellness Expo" in the gym­ nasium. This special feature will pro­ vide health related information to anyone wishing to attend. Some of the features of the "Expo" include nutritional guides, blood pressure checks, body fat percentages and stretching exercises. I ast year's Big Apple Road Race Misuse of internship program discussed by Faculty Senate By JENELLE AIJTRY Appalachian Slaff Writer Problems which occured in Aplachian Summer internships were ; main topic of discussion in Mony's Faculty Senate meeting. According to the report presented the Chair of the Academic Policies mimittee of the Faculty Senate Dr. irk Estepp, during September 1986, tistic Director for "An Apalachian mmer" Robert Chumbley brought attention the lack of sufficient help the summer program. One solun that was discussed and later apived was the use of the internship igram to fill the need for help. 'An Apalachian Summer" staged nls in Farthing Auditorium. At I time, Farthing was managed by dent Affairs Dr. David Mclntire pressed a willingness to allocate ds to pay for eight such internship ilions." Fo accommodate the proed solution, internships were eloped in Music and in Comlications Arts. In order to help port the program and to pay the rns salaries, $16,000 worth of stu­ dent fees was transferred to the pro­ gram. In spring 1987, the internship posi­ tions were advertised to the public. Posters offered students $100 per week, a residence hall room at no cost, and approximately six to nine hours of college credit with tuition costs waived. Eight college and two high school students, including Mclntire's daughter Jodie, filed applications for the positions. According to the report, Mclntire was not aware his daughter was one of the high school applicants. Upon being informed of this fact by Director of Student Pro­ grams Dave Robertson, the report says that Mclntire told Chuinbley and Robertson not to give his daughter any special consideration. The other high school applicant was the son of Carrie I indsay, an Appalachian Sum­ mer staff member. During the interview process for the positions, Chumbley told each appli­ cant that if selected for the job they would receive a letter grade at the end of the internship in addition to the other promised gratuities. The positions were given to the eight college students after the inter­ views had been completed. Seven of the students registered for MUS 4900, Internship in Music Merchandising. Although Chumbley did not hold faculty status, he was listed as the In­ structor of Record of the course. Before the program began, one stu­ dent dropped the course after finding a better paying job. Several weeks after the plograrn had started, another student dropped the course. As the senate repot) states, "This left summer program shorthanded, and on July 7, 1987, special course forms for MUS 4900 (8 hours) were received in the Office of the Dean of Fine and Applied Arts. These were brought to the attention of the Assis­ tant Dean (Noyes Long), as the Dean (Nick Erneston) was out of the office. Since the forms were for two high school students, the Assistant Dean called Assistant Director of Summer Sessions Gail Walker, about the mat­ ter." The report continues to say that Walker "commented on the events surrounding the request and said it was a 'one time event'. The special course forms were initiated with the Deans initials by one of the secretaries and sent through." "The evaluation procedure for the student consisted of the amount of physical labor they did, as well as a paper they were to turn in," Estepp said during Monday's meeting. Due to the amount of work placed on the students, many were unable to com­ plete the required paper. A grade of "Incomplete" was given in order to allow the students adequate time to do the paper. According to ASU's Academic Policies and Procedures Manual, "A grade of T (Incomplete) may be given because of sickness or some other unaviodable cause or cir­ cumstance. Such a grade should not be given merely because assignments were not completed during a semester." "I've been informed by several of the students that they did not turn in a paper at any point," Estepp added. However, all students received the same final grade in the end. Chumbley said that he was not aware of the fact he could not give let­ ter grades until ••late July or early August. I then informed the interns of that fact and apologized that I could not give them letter grades; they would have to accept S/U," Chumbley said. L ike every one at the bottom of the bureaucracy, I think they felt (powerless)," Chumbley added. When interviewed by the Senate Auademic Policies Committee, three of the students said they had not heard about the fact that they would not be receiving letter grades for their endeavors. Mclntire visited with Parker in his office in February 1988 with the fact that the students were given grades of S/U instead of the letter grades they were promised. Parker told Mclntire that letter grades were not possible in an internship. Mclntire was concerned that some of the students would file suit against the university over the matter. The report states, "Dr. Mclntire told Dr. Parker that some of the students were threatening lawsuits against the university over the matter. (In a later meeting with Dr. Mclntire, he stated to a member of the academic policies committee that no students actually talked with him relative to a lawsuit over the matter, he was simply ex­ pressing personal concern that it might be a possibility.)" Mclntire and Parker took the issue to Vice-Chancellor of Academic af­ fairs Harvey Durham. At this time, Chumbley was called into the office. He told them he had promised the students letter grades. According to the report, Acting Dean of Fine and Applied Arts Noyes Long was told of the continuing pro­ blems concerning the intern situation. While he was in Parker's office on a different matter one day in early February, Parker said that in fairness to the students, and as stated in the report, "protection of the faculty members for mis-advisement," the students be reclassified into another course number so letter grades could be given as originally promised. Long agreed to along with whatever would be decided as the best possible solu"°n' See FACULTY Page 4 Various activities planned for 1988 Homecoming weekend By JON JIMISON Appalachian News hdilor Cheers—to the King of the Moun1 Homecoming events start this ?ttioon with the Festival on the Id. his event takes place at 4 p.m. on * Pond Field.

"We're extremely pleased that one of the presidential candidates has come forth with a new and im­ aginative program for college loans for people from all walks of life," president of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Univer­ sities, Richard Rosser said. U.S. Student Association member, Janet Leiberman, which represents campus student governments in Washington, D.C. said, "It's a very creative program to help middle-class families, but it doesn't really address the needs of low-income people." "What low-income people need is grant money," American Council on Education member, Dave Merkowitz, said. "They're the least likely to take out loans. Both presidential can­ didates need to develop plans to ad­ dress the needs of the neediest." The Dukakis plan would allow any student, regardless of family income, to get a federally guaranteed student loan, repay it through mandatory payroll deductions during the student's working years for as long as they work, or "buy out" of the pro­ gram at any time by paying a lump sum. As a result, graduates who find jobs with high salaries could pay back more than the interest and principal on their loans, while low-income students may never pay back all they borrowed. "The problem with (Dukakis's) plan...is it depends upon people who are likely to make reasonable incomes being willing to get soaked," Carnes said. Rosser believed the federal govern­ ment will have to subsidize the pro­ gram to keep it viable—something Dukakis says won't be neccesary— but in the long run would deal "with the student loan default question in a very effective way," thus saving tax­ payers millions of dollars. Because the government would take its payment directly out of grads' paychecks, the default rate—at least theoretically—would be minimal. "It's nice that under this plan you can graduate and go into a low-paying job like teaching and nursing and not worry about paying off your loans," I.ieberman said. "We appreciate the creativity." Yale University had a similar loan program for 3,600 students from 1972 to 1978, in which student could bor­ row a portion of their tuition from the school and begin repaying it after graduation at a rate of four-tenths of one percent—or $4 per year—for each $1,000 borrowed. Dukakis's plan, by contrast, would have students repay their loans at a rate of $8 per year for every $1,000 borrowed. "We still think it's a plausible idea," Yale director of financial aid, Donald Routh said. Routh said Yale dropped the idea because it required massive amounts of capital to maintain it. Ad­ ministrators figured it would take 17 years before payments would reduce the outstanding balance owed the university. Yet fears that students anticipating a high income would not participate in such a program proved not to be true, Routh added. Carnes'sown U.S. Dept. of Educa­ tion also has promoted an "income contingent loan" program, now be­ ing tested at 10 campuses. In his last two federal college budget proposals, in fact, President Reagan asked Congress to replace vir­ tually all Guaranteed Student Loans with income-contingent loans, but Congress, heeding educators' testimony that it was too early to tell if the idea is workable, opted for a pilot program instead. Under the Reagan plan, all bor­ rowers would have to repay all the principal and interest they owed in a prescribed time. Under Dukakis's plan, loan repayments would come directly out of graduates' paychecks, much like their Social Security payments. Graduates would not have repay­ ment deducted from earnings over a certain cap, probably to be set somewhere between $50,000, and $100,000 a year. Graduates who borrowed $20,000 to get through college and earned, say, $20,000 would repay the govern­ ment $500 in a year, or 2.5 percent of their income. Students would take out the loans, which would be guaranteed by the government, through banks. Aaron thought it interesting that Dukakis, who has trailed Republican presidential nominee George Bush in the polls since mid-August, unveiled the "substantive" proposal because he thinks it's something the American people want. But although he commended the Massachusetts govenor for develop­ ing a program with meat, Aaron feared it will be used against him. �THE APPALACHIAN. HOMECOMING '88 Services Intern discusses legal and personal effects rape can have on victims and offenders Consequences of sexual assault grave for all parties invoji Ar?,'.t0t S No,e: Jenn er ASU s legal intern. 'f Horton is This week my article is going to be ot a very serious nature. It takes a very personal look at rape-the con­ sequences of the crime and how it can be prevented. I will try to keep my personal opinions out of the article but I hope that you will form some of your own. A boy from my hometown went away this fall to a prominant eastern university on a full scholarship. He was an excellent football player. I will call my friend Bob for now. He has not come to trial yet and 1 do not want to darken his name if he is found innocent. This past week, Bob and four other football players were arrested and charged with kidnapping, raping and sodomizing a girl. He had to post $40,000 bond to get out of jail and now waits to go to trial. Needless to say, his short-lived football career is over, if not his free life. What possessed Bob to join in on the gang rape of this girl is yet unknown to me. I do not know if there is any justifiable answer. What 1 have learned is that gang rape is classified as first degree rape, a class B felony. First degree rape is applied when there is use of force, use of a deadly weapon or when serious bodily injury is inflicted. The clincher here is that first degree rape carries the • penalty of life imprisonment. There is the chance off for good behavior, but if convicted of this crime, your criminal record would hold you back forever.

There is the chance °ff for good behavior, but if convicted of this crime, your criminal record would hold you back forever. While writing this article I did a lot of thinking about rape and how easy it could be to get abducted. I'm sure that like me, most people think it just wouldn't happen to them. This whole ordeal made me realize it can happen to anyone, perpetrated by a person that you may never expect. There are things that we can do to prevent it, though. There is an ex­ cellent service here at ASU sponsored by SGA called Mountaineer Escort. These individuals will walk you anywhere on campus that you need to go. For instance, they will meet you at Hoey and walk you to the library and then will return to walk you home.

"The reason is simple: Opportunity is what America is all about, and education is the key to opportunity." An- educated workforce, Bush believes, is the key to a prosperous economy. To prepare that workforce, he promises more student aid, plans to help families save for their children s education and programs to bring more minority students to cam­ puses. He says his U.S. Dept. of Educa­ tion would avoid the confrontational style of President Reagan's Education Dept. under William Bennett. And while all that might sound very attractive to a national college com­ munity buffered by eight years of budget cuts and White' House criticism, a lot of people in higher education think George Bush is full of bunk. Bush "will do whatever his advisors tell him to do to get elected. Hell, it's a )) ru politics, Dr. Robert Clodius of the National Association of State Univer­ sities and Land Grant Colleges said. While Dr. Aims McGuiness of the Education Commission of the States thinks 'you can take the vice presi­ dent at his word: he wants to be the education president," he wonders whether Bush would take the policital heat of funding college programs at the expense of, say, defense. "Whoever is elected president has to face three major problems," McGuiness said. "They will have to deal with the budget and trade deficits, the high priority placed on defense spending and the commit­ ment to entitlements for older people, such as Social Security." He can't do anything (about education) if he doesn't address those problems first." McGuiness, Clodius and other education professionals note Bush offered public support for—and cer­ tainly no public resistance to the Reagan administration's budgetary attacks on federal college funding. But now the vice president calls for maintaining work-study, the still- black colleges. Many black college unproven income-contingent loans presidents credit Bush with helping program and Pell Grants for low- their institutions secure federal income students. grants.

"I believe he will continue to em­ phasize the value of education for all people," Bush advisor and president of Washington's Highline Communi­ ty college, Shirley Gorden said. "Just the phrase 'education president' indicates he wants to give a education a higher priority, a dif­ ferent emphasis than we've seen under Presidet Reagan," National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, member Dr. Richard Rosser said.

Greene In the Business Affairs Committee meeting, architectural selection for e renovation of the Communication rts Teaching Laboratory was iscussed and authorized. A tremenous amount of discussion was also held on the Capital Improvement Budget submittal for the 1989-91 biennium. I nese voiiversalions locused on the future Student Activities Center which would be funded ap­ proximately halfway by ASU students. This means that an additional $60 in Student Activities fees would be re­ quired by each student annually over a twenty-year period, totaling seven million dollars. Other projects that will require self-liquidation are: the addition to the fieldhouse which will cause a $12 annual student fee in­ crease; the new west campus food facility which will cause a $17 annual student fee increase; and the planned additions to the Student Union which will cause a $50 annual student fee in­ crease. When you total all of these figures you receive a net student fee increase of $139 annually. However, less cur­ rent obligations being liquidated dur­ ing the next few years are estimated at $50. This will bring the student fee in­ crease down to $89 annually. This does not include proposed book ren­ tal and athletic fee increases. These proposals will be voted on in the December Board of Trustees meeting. Therefore, you need to con­ tact your Senators and express your opinions about these proposals. In the Student Development Com­ mittee, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Dr. David Mclntire expressed his concerns about Appalachian being observed as a "cheap" school. He mentioned the need for additional programs and services for students. In order to examine this matter Dr. Mclntire and myself have been ap­ pointed by the Chancellor to co-chair a task force to study the expansion of the Student Union and to look into the needs for the east side of campus. In addition to the topics discussed the Board of Trustees also adopted a long-range plan for the 1990s. This plan includes Appalachian's revised mission statementand strategic future outlook. Enrollment and academic plans are to remain selective, limiting the growth while focusing on quality. Minority recruitment was also ex­ amined and the Board encouraged the administration to look at student needs such as Greek housing. On behalf of the Student Govern­ ment Association, I hope this infor­ mation is useful to you. All responses should be sent to the Student Govern­ ment Association or brought to the second floor of Workman Hall. Remember, you can make the dif­ ference at ASU.

HOMECOMING '8ft Faculty Autumn leaves beckon tourists By DEANNA SHELOR Appalachian Staff Writer Chamber of Commerece feels it could happen earlier this year since some leaves have already turned. This past summer there was much speculation concerning whether colors would be as vibrant as last fall. Leaf colors vary according to the amount of rain that falls before they turn. September's rains and those resulting from the effects of hurricane Gilbert should provide excellent color, in spite of the dry summer. Each year thousands of tourists swarm to our area to observe a natural phenomenon that is rarer in the South than elsewhere in the coun­ try. The North Carolina mountains are one of the places where the chang­ ing of the leaves is most spectacular. According to the Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce, the leaves provide the busiest tourist month of the year. Hotels in Blowing Rock are booked. The chamber says that Each year thousands of although ASU's homecoming has always brought many visitors, the big­ tourists swarm to our area gest October boost comes from the to observe a natural tourists coming to view the leaves. Last year was a record breaking phenomenon that is rarer period, according to officials at the in the South than elsewhere Blue Ridge Parkway. They counted in the country. 22,000,000 visitors last October and are expecting a high 28,000,000 this year. "If it stays moist like this and gets Some area residents believe you can cool before mid-October the leaves tell when the peak leave turning will that are left should be fairly striking," occur by when the katydid cry. This is ASU Biology professor Dr. John usually in mid-October; however, the Bond said. "Trees in some areas lost leaves during the summer but other areas are uneffected. Howard's Knob for example looks like it has plenty of leaves," Bond said. "Shorter days and cooler temperatures trigger the color change as leaves prepare to fall," Bond add­ ed. The unprecendented crowds last year were so intense that a five mile drive took almost three hours. Much of this can be attributed to the open­ ing of the Linn Cove Viaduct last September, only a month before the leaves turned. The Viaduct was the final link in the 50 year construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Officials expect it to contribute again to the increase this year in the number of visitors to our area. Local businesses consider this the most important time of year. The general consensus is that if you can't make it in October you just can't make it. October is busier than other peak tourist times such as summer­ time and ski season. Continued from Page I Durham and Parker decided to re­ direct the work done by the students into an independent study. Long of­ fered his approval of the action. The report also stated, "Long never received forms through his office relative to the changes that were made." The university policy and pro­ cedure manual stated "Anyone seek­ ing to pursue independant study must be a candidate for a degree at Ap­ palachian or must be working for credit for the renewal of a teaching certificate." Neither Ms. Mclntire nor Lindsay were pursuing such a degree. Ms. Mclntire is now a student at UNCChapel Hill. The same policy manual also stated, "Scheduling a course to be offered for credit in the universitymust be authorized by the departmen­ 1 tal ciimir"-' of iai chairperson or director , . , the , department or area under which the course is listed.' Chumbley and Parker met with the registrar concerning the details ot the course change. They were told to prepare a memo staling Parker's re a rflHp for each quest and include a grade for each a o student. The memo, dated I ebruaiy siuoeiu. i "v8. 1988, placed the students in MUS 3500 (4 hours) and CMA 3500 (4 hours). One student needed the in­ ternship to graduate so the registrar did not move that individual from the original 4900. According to the report, during May, CMA Department Chairman, Dr. Charles Porterfield, discovered on his computer, "that grades had been given in the CMA department without his knowledge or consent."

Working with the active duty Army tank unit after Advanced Camp was voluntary additional training under an ROTC program called Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT). This program is designed to give cadets an idea of what active duty is like from the viewpoint of a junior of­ ficer. Normally cadets are assigned to another officer in a tactical unit, who will show them around, explain the job and give them an idea of what an officer's job entails. Cadet Jicha's three week CTLT was different from most. He was sent to a tank battalion as part of the 24th Mechanized Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Due to a temporary shortage of lieutenants in the unit, the commander gave him full responsibility for a tank platoon as if he was a com­ missioned officer. "I was surprised at how young the enlisted troops were," Jicha said. "Most were 18-19 years old, new to the unit, but had good attitudes and were well disciplined and most joined the Army for the adventure away from home, although many found the G.I. Bill for college tuition to be a big Most Appalachian State University students spend their summers work­ ing, attending the summer school or even working on their tans at the beach.

Jicha, a criminal justice major from Ghapel Hill, admits that he had a good platoon sergeant.

What I like most about Appalachian is the atmosphere. I love being in the mountains. Not on­ ly is the community beautiful, but the campus as well. Transfer students come from far and near, all seeking the educational fulfillment that Appalachian pro­ vides. Angie Smith, a sophomore transfer, stated, "I chose Ap­ palachian because it is ranked as one of the best schools in North Carolina to receive a teacher's certification. In my opinion, the teachers and academics are excellent!" Not only is Angie a new student at Appalachian, but this is also her first year experiencing dorm life. "I am enjoying living in a dorm, people here are really nice," she said. Tim Smith, also a sophomore, is enjoying his new school year here at Appalachian. "I have found Ap­ palachian State's atmosphere more pleasant and the people are much more friendly," Smith said. "The greatest difference from my previous school, which was Western Carolina, is that there is greater night life." Ann Rentfrow chose Appalachian for a variety of reasons. "I chose this school due to the fact that it was the only school in North Carolina that of­ fers Special Education as a major. I also like Appalachian due to the many opportunities and organizations pro­ vided for the students." Appalachian is filled with a variety of students who are all seeking fulfill­ ment. Unfortunately for me, I am still an undecided major. Nevertheless, with the aid of various organizations and courses such as Peer Career,' Life and Career Planning, and the aid of those in General College, I am sure I and others will be guided in the right direction.

B> KATRINA WILSON Appaltu-hiiin Slaff Wriler What do the campus gospel choir, the BSA and a constant smile have in common? All these are things that Willie Fleming has to be proud of In addition to his new position as the director of Multicultural Affairs, Fleming works as the advisor for the Black Student Association. For those who thought that Flem­ ing was the Director of Minority Affairs, you are on the right track. Actually, that was the title he held for five years until August of this year when his job was expanded to Direc­ tor of Multicultural Affairs. He describes his new position as "very similar" to Director of Minority Stu­ dent Affairs. Now, he wiil "have more involvement with the different groups of students other than just black students." There are now less than 100 internationals here at ASU. How does he like his job? Well, in his own words, "Some days I like my job. Some days I love my job!" Fleming's roots at ASU go back even further than fiVe years. As a stu­ dent here in 1975, he founded the campus gospel choir which is still go­ ing strong today. He reflects, "That was and still is one of the things that make being in Boone really positive for me." Fleming was also involved in PUbl' C - /h the Black Student Association which he found to be a wonderful "awareness program" for minorities. Today, he is the advisor for the BSA and feels proud that it is making peo­ ple aware of black culture and being an outlet for minority students. He feels that the group does a good job of expressing the concerns of minority students here at ASU. As of right now, about 'A to Zi of minority students are involved in BSA and membership remains open for interested students. Fleming feels that one of the main concerns for minorities today nation­ wide is that they need more unity among themselves. Another concern is that many black students are "first generation" college students. "Many students came to college without some of the academic advantages because they are 'first generation' college students," he explained. "They are the first in their family to go to col­ lege. so they are not going to be as familiar." Fleming says that steps are being taken to combat this problem and is quick to point out that he does not do it alone. Harry Williams in Admis­ sions is doing his part to solve the problem by finding funds and resources through various depart­ ments on campus to give scholarships to students. Cathia Tribby and Cindy Walker work with the learning assistance lab. "Through this pro­ gram students receive tutors, and many of them are monitored throughout their freshman year," Fleming noted. "The assistance in that program is excellent." Fleming attended Garinger High School in Charlotte and then got his BA and master's degree at Appalachian State. One characteristic that stands out most about this member of ASU's faculty is he easy-going nature. Flem­ ing gives a very good reason for this. "The most important thing about me is that I'm a Christian. I learned that when God is where he is supposed to be in my life, everything else knows its place." He radiates this attitude also in his love for Boone. "Boone is a lovely town. The people are the best cooks in the world and folks appreciate the simple things in life here." Who would you think that this man so many students admire looks up to himself? "1 would like to be like Martin Luther King. He had the strength to love." Willie Fleming is getting closer to his goal every day. ben the job ended, so did the h„ 1 ' ' which as I said, is a pain | or my skin, which is where "°w. Bearded.

Finally, there's a place on King Street that has the atmosphere to compete with Klondike Cafe. It's the Boone Bagelry, and if you haven't been there yet, you really should check it out. The Bagelry is located on King Street right next to Daniel Boone Condos, and if you live in the neighborhood, it's a great place to eat breakfast before going to class. The first time I ate breakfast there, I decided to order a bagel with cream cheese and a cup of coffee. It was really good, but I didn't expect anything less from a place that specializes in bagles. The coffee was pretty good, not great, but, of course, this isn't Europe! Bagel prices vary depending on the toppings including butter, cream cheese, lox spread, scallion spread, vegetable spread. Prices range from 55' to $1.59. Not bad. The next time I went I ate butter­ milk pankeakes, and 1 got three huge pancakes for $1.35! The best thing about the Boone Bagelry, though is the atmosphere. The great service and friendly at­ mosphere have kept customers com­ ing back, and already become a popular hangout. Like the Klondike, Boone Bagelry has an outdoor bar/patio. Not a day goes by when there are not at least four or five people hanging out grab­ bing a cold one. In addition to numerous other breakfast specials, the Bagelry also has a wide variety of salad platters, ,+Seef, pastrami, ham, salami and sandwiches, and burgers. turkey sandwiches as well Gust to Salad prices range from $1.75 to name a few). $3.85, and include such selections as If food's not your thing, the chef salad, whitefish, and creamed Bagelry also has great prices on herring.

This helped morale under the stress of the five day tactical exercise. I found out that the men would work long hours if the officers took care of the Soldiers. During the demanding field maneuvers, his platoon was under a great deal of stress from lack of sleep to see leadership by example and have an officer share the hardships of training and combat, yet they don't want the officer to try and become their 'buddy', either." .

By SEANA SNOOK even though they will always have a soft spot for Boone. After all, the band's very physical sound was born here in the mountains. Discord's music revolves around a dark, pulsing rhythm that is everpresent. This sound is a direct result of both Ben­ jamin and Andy's writing styles. All of the band's original music is written on the bass accompanied by a drum machine. Another reason for Discord s strong devotion to rhythm can be found in Benjamin's philosophy, 'Your own music must move you physically, and if it does not then it is not your music." dience move. Original music should make a statement and demand a response from the listener. Nothing is worse than a Iuke-warm copy band that has nothing to say. Even Discord s name defies this image.

The band was in rare form on Fri­ day, September the 30, because it marked a homecoming of sorts for Andy and Benjamin. Their normal high-energy set was magnified by the thnt they were piaying t0 a home crowd. The brutal rhythm supplied by Benjamin and the band's current drummer filled the air and served as a foundation for Andy's airy and dissonate guitar work.

Fools is a comedic fairy tale about Leon Tolchinsky, a young schoolteacher who has just accepted a job in the idyllic Russian town of Kulyenchikov. Little does he know that Kulyenchikov has been cursed with chronic stupidity for 200 years. The desperate townspeople have hired Leon hoping he can break the curse. However, they neglect to tell him if he stays more than 24 hours, and fails in his mission, he also becomes a victim of the curse. The role of Leon is played by Mark Loman, an ASU sophomore majoring in broadcasting. Loman appeared in last season's production of Hait Until Dark and The Real Inspector Hound. Laura Cole portrays Sophia, Leon's beautiful, yet incredibly stupid pupil. Cole is a freshman theatre arts major from Raleigh, where she performed with the Raleigh Little Theatre.

Sudsy thoughts on the latest soaps By SEANA SNOOK Appalachian Slaff Writer .. •L . _ iff:; B^Hi Are you a soap opera addict? Do you find yourself constantly running around trying to find time to watch your favorite soap, trying to find out what is happening on Days Of Our Lives or General Hospital? If so, you are among the many thousands that do. I, myself am a par­ tial addict. By partial I mean that when I can find the time, I am one of the ones sitting in front of the tube. My favorite soap is Days Of Our Lives, and when I find the time, 1 try to watch it. Unforunately for me, 1 had been too busy working this sum­ mer to keep up with Days. So what I would like to know is what happened to make Kayla lose her voice. 1 heard she lost her voice when she was at­ tacked. When was she attacked and who attacked her? 1 know Kimberly was helping her to use sign language and when she married Steve she regained her voice to say the vows. What happened between? As the Na­ tional Enquirer says, "I want to know." What about Kimberly and Shane? What is going on between them? A couple of times when 1 watched the show this summer I found out Shane was trying to catch someone and Kimberly was helping him. In helping Shane, Kimberly was pretending to be divorcing him and to have turned into a prostitute. In most of the scenes, however, you saw Shane and Kimber­ ly in a loving embrace and then Shane tells Kimberly that they have to be careful, that they can't be caught. If you know what is happening tell me so that I know, too. I, myself am a partial ad­ dict. By partial I mean that when I can find the time, I am one of the ones sitting in front of the tube. 1 can't forget about General Hospital now can I? Last year I would rush home from school and on the bright on Target: A.P.P.S. has done it again! Comedian and all" tround strange guy Steven Wright will appear in Farthing Auditorium jn Wednesday. October 26. Tickets go on sale Monday, October 17, in the Student Union at 7 a.m. for ASU students, faculty and staff, 'rices are $8 for students and $12 for non-students. days I wasn't working I would watch General Hospital. Now I don't know about you but I thought it turned pretty darn stupid so I quit watching it. The other day I sat down to GH again and found it was still stupid. What I am referring to is the fact that Duke supposedly had an affair with a real witch and the woman told Anna about it. Well, from the way things look, Anna forgave Duke. Now they are about to have a baby and this woman is also claiming to be pregnant with Duke's child. Duke finds out this is all a lie and he tells her if she doesn't stay away from his family he will kill her. A maid heard this threat and now it makes me wonder about what is going to happen. In the same day Anna has it out with this woman (I don't know her name so that is why I refer to her as "this woman,") in the ladies room at Duke's resturant or whatever. Anna also threatens the woman. No, take that back she pro­ mises the woman she will hurt her if she doesn't stay away from Robin. Can you make sense of what is hap­ pening? Because I know 1 can't. I am not too worried though, I haven't had any regrets since I quit watching the show. How many of you have seen One Life To Live? Let's see a show of hands, just kidding! That used to be one of my favorite shows until school got in the way, isn't that a bummer? Do you remember when Dorian, Cord's mother was killed? I think that was one of the best episodes of One Life To Live because I could not stand Dorian in the show. She had gone from a really nice person to a real witch. The funny part of it was that Tina was being blamed and it wasn't even her fault. Dorian would have never died if Tina had divorced Cord. Now that I'm busy, I find that try­ ing to keep up with the soaps is nearly impossible so I think I am going to have to give up my addiction. I know it will be hard but I am giong to be strong. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it. But if every once in awhile someone would be so kind as to let me know what is going on in the soaps I would be forever grateful. *DINEIN* •1 .!<• *PICK UP* i *FAST FREE* DELIVERY r r n .ifrr TO r r~ r ' tP'TfHF - ^WAREHOUSE Mon-Thur 11 am-midnight Fri-Sat 11 am-1 am 262-0004 " k i k "w" Sun noon-midnight 2 1 " 4 • • CHEESE PIZZAS • • FOR $8.25 PLUS TAX $1 TOPS THEM BOTH COME SEE US AFTER THE GAME! we have an excellent selection of imported beer and wines we also feature the largest and coldest keg section in town SEPT 24-OCT 31 211 E a s t H o w a r d S t r e e t Downtown Boone 264-4935 ANNOUNCING ALPINE'S SKI SEASON LAY-A-WAY 'TIL CHRISTMAS! 20% DOWN! • NO FINANCE CHARGE!

Due to two touchdowns by runningbacks Kenny Dawson and Tim Sanders in the second half, ASU was able to hold off an underrated VMI team. The Mountaineers are now unbeaten in 21 consecutive regularseason conference games. The Apps last regular season loss came in 1985 to this year's Homecoming rival, Furman. Appalachian Assistant Editor Socialite my hoI jThe homecoming scene is set. ["here's a good crowd, a nip in the iir, a mountainside of colorful fall eaves, and the Black Saturday Irigade is warming up on the turf. The two-time Southern Conerence champions have practiced jng and hard, preparing for an lways tough Furman team. The •am has given up social life, free ime, and probably many study ours in their attempt to stay on jp in the conference. Coach Zoods and his staff have also made| ig sacrifices. They have taken time ut with their families to lead the lountaineers to a level of success bout which most football teams ui only dream.

It took a early fourth quarter miscue by the Mountaineers on the South Carolina eight-yard line to ease the concerns of many of the more than 70,000 Gamecock fans in Co­ lumbia. The final score of 35-9 was not indicative of how close this game was well into the fourth quarter. With the score 21-9 in favor of South Carolina, the momentum was definitely with ASU. Quarterback Bobby Fuller drove the Apps inside the Gamecock 10-yard line. A stiff defensive stand by the Cocks set up a crucial fourth down situation at the eight-yard line. But when Fuller mishandled the snap from the center, all he could do was fall on the foot­ ball. South Carolina added two touchdowns to seal the victory. Head Coach Sparky Woods felt that the game could have been much closer against the nationally-ranked Gamecocks if the Mountaineer squad could have handled the ball better than they did. "We were very careless with the football," he said. "We wouldn't beat too many in our own conference if we played like we did today." The game started with South Carolina quarterback Todd Ellis directing a 12-play, 80-yard touchdown drive culminating with a three-plunge into the endzone by Harold Green. This drive was the Gamecocks' best one of the day as Heisman Trophy candidate Ellis would go on to throw three intercep­ tions. But the Mountaineers' turnovers were more costly, and South Carolina ASU By STEVE GILL Appalachian Staff Writer The Fruman Paladins march into Kidd Brewer Stadium this Saturday after a crucial loss to Marshall last weekend in Huntington, West Virginia. The reason for the loss is primarily due to the fact that Furman turned the ball over and when they got behind, they were ineffective through the air. So Coach Woods should know exactly what to tell his players to do this Saturday. Force tur­ novers, get ahead, and nerver look back. Actually, Coach Woods does not see it that way. Woods feels there are a lot of big factors that contribute to this mat­ chup. Fruman is a physical, hard-nosed football team that comes right at With just over seven minutes re­ maining in the half. Fuller connected you," Woods said. "We need to play that same type of football" So, all the Mountaineers have to do is force tur­ novers, get ahead and play hardnosed football. Well, not quite. "We have to win on first down," Woods added. So not you have it. All the Mountaineers have to do is all the above mentioned items. My feeling about this game is nice and simple. All Woods has to do as for as I'm concerned is have a good game plan and then just make sure that all his players show up. 1 don't mean show up to play, I mean show up period. The reason 1 think a vic­ tory is eminent is the Apps impressive string of regular season victories against Southern Conference op­ ponents. With this seasons opening day vic­ Ritchie Melchor, a runningback for the Mountaineers, has been chosen as the Appalachian's Athlete of the Week for his unlimited support and contribution to the Mountaineer foot­ ball team this season. Melchor first started playing foot­ ball at a very young age. His mother encouraged him from day one and still continues her support. Melchor's family never missed any of his high school games home or away. His parents try to attend almost every game here at ASU. Ritchie Melchor is a junior from Charlotte, North Carolina. As a is-fyou guys don,t stay. I 1 '•wait a minute. That's right, .K1"tWenty students the team was awfui- When the Apps failed to convert on the fourth and short at the USC eight, things began to unravel for Moun­ taineers. The Gamecocks converted on two more App turnovers to push the score to 35-9 and keep the Gamecocks undefeated on the year. Both the Mountaineers and the Keydets added another touchdown, ASU s touchdown coming on a 13-yard run by Kenny Dawson. VMI ended the scoring on a three-yard touchdown pass by Brown. The win for ASU sets up a big Southern Conference showdown Saturday against Furman. The Paladins fell last Saturday to Mar­ shall, 24-10. The ASU-Furman Homecoming matchup is set for 1:30 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. tory against the Citadel and last weekend's victory against VMI, the Mountaineers have piled up 20 vie tories in a row against SC opponents. In addition to their winning record, the fact that over 25,000 screaming fans are expected to pack Kidd Brewer Stadium for Homecoming means a sure victory. Take away the intangible and the Apps must find the balanced attack that has eluded them at times in their first five games. Bobby Fuller must have a good game throwing the foot­ ball. If he does not the Paladins have a considerable edge. They rushed for over 300 yards against a respectiable Marshall defense. The Mountaineers on ther other hand, have yet to show a strong rushing attack against a very good defense. And Furman has a very good defense. "Furman is a physical, hard-nosed football team that comes right at you. We need to play that same type of football We have to win on first down," Woods added. So now you have it. All the Moun­ taineers have to do is all the above mentioned items. Sparky Woods Flead Football Coach ortt mull In addition to an improved offense. Coach Rick Whitt's defense has to continue to shut down the run. The front four of Jimmy Snowden Chris Conner, Mike Frier, and either Chuck Phifer or Randy Harper can shut down any offense if they play up to their capabilities. If you throw out all the facts and figures there is only one item, a startl­ ing intangible, that may mean the dif­ ference in this game. "They have four blocked punts," Woods says. It is hard for me to believe that any team could hold in edge in that catagory when coming to play the Mountaineers. THe Apps will win this game because of a big blocked punt if it is a close game, but do not count on this one being close. Athlete of the Week senior, he was named area player of the year by WSOC-TV and the Charlotte-Observer. Melchor was the team's most valuable player in his senior year. Now, here at ASU he continues to be one of the leading rushers on the team. When the team is down in the score, Melchor is always there to pick up the pieces. He provides en thusiasm, excitement, and he keeps the team's adrenalin flowing. "The team's success, so far, is due to Coach Sparky Woods dedication and caring." —Ritchie Melchor ASU Runningback In 1987, Melchor led the team in of­ fensive yards with 914 yards on 99 at­ tempts in 14 games. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry. This year he is con­ tinually improving his skills and ac­ curacy. He is becoming a better and more consistent ball player with every touch of the football. The whole team is continuing to im­ prove each game. "The team should win the con­ ference and do very well," Melchor said. Melchor's personal goal is to win the conference as well as the national.

The Keydets took this seven point lead on a eightyard pass from Dave Brown to Dan McGrew.

Each competitor has three attempts for each lift and is allowed to use his best lift in the official count. The participants must qualify in each lift in order to continue in the competition. If they fail to qualify in one lift, they are disqualified from the remainder of the contest. Ortiz has been training for over seven years, and he has been com­ peting in powerlifting for five. He wanted to be sure he was a com­ petitive level in strength before he began entering contests. "I trained for two years before I dared to look at competition," he said. "I wanted to make sure I was ready and that I would do well." Ortiz has done well in competition thus far. He finished fourth in the Southern Nationals in Dothan, Alabama in 1985 which qualified him to go to the national powerlifting competition, but he was unable to attend. This competition is a national qualifier as well. Ortiz will be representing North Carolina in an attempt to qualify and move on to the national competition. He won the state competition in 1986 and the Eastern U.S. Competition in 1987. He is excited about the possibility of representing the state nationally. "There's more involved in this competition than just a nice trophy; the top five competitors advance to represent their states," he said. Ortiz emphasizes that this competi­ tion is different from most contests in powerlifting. "This is a drug-free competition," he said. "There is intense testing for steroid use. There are blood tests and a polygraph test so it is impossible to cover up any drug use." Ortiz is a strong advocate of drugfree and steroid-free powerlifting. "Taking drugs for competition is just wrong," he said. "You lose so much. Most of the lifters opt to take drugs because it is the easy way out. I X *>ee OR 11/.

Perkins and Nye also shot a 74 on the course. The cross country was run on September 29 on a 3.1 mile course across campus and through downtown Boone.

Although Ritchie Melchor is a criminal justice major, he would also like to have the chance to further his football career. He has learned many advantages of team work that he can take with him forever. "The team's success, so far, is due to Coach Sparky Woods' dedication and caring," Melchor said. Coach Sparky Woods looks beyond the athlete into the person. He is con­ cerned with producing a "whole" person. He pushes the concept that football is important, but education is of more importance. Melchor thinks Woods philosophy is very beneficial to the student athletes. Although the football team re­ quired a lot of Ritchie Melchor's time, he still finds time for his academic career. "It is hard to play football and do well in school; but I balance my time wisely and therefore produce good grades," Melchor said. Ortiz has trained especially hard for this contest because this is his last attempt at powerlifting competition. He feels confident about the com­ petition and believes that he will fare well on Saturday. "This is it for me," he said. "Win or lose, I'm retiring. I just hope I do well for myself and for the sake of representing North Carolina." Let me make a few suggestions. Watch the ballgame. You'd be shocked how interesting the game really is! Leave the damn beach Melchor is a criminal jusitce major and wishes to become part of a private security field after graduation. His success on and off the field have helped him be able to associate with people more effectively. He is an in­ spiration to all the children of today and tomorrow. Melchor will continue to prosper on and off the field. But his presence will remain here at ASU for many years to come. "I should place in the top five," he said. "I feel that I will qualify for the nationals. I know that's what is expected of me." Ortiz has trained hard for the com­ petition, working out on a five-day routine. His workouts have concen­ trated on secondary muscles like those in his calves and shoulders. That's pride, baby. And alma mater? We were singing fools. "Where the winds of Dixie softly blow..." See, I still know the words. Special to (he Appalachian Tim Parker won the men's individual competition with a time of 16:30. Elizabeth Stewart was the women's individual winner with a finishing time of 25:10. ROTC won the women's team titles and RRA (Retired Runners of America) won the men's team competition.

Forty-two participants competed in the race, and winners received intramural champion tee shirts. Winning teams also received All University points. balls at home. The only ball that should be at the game is the pigskin. Try staying for the entire game. Compared to the sacrifice made by the football players and coaches, what is four hours at the stadium? There is food, bathrooms, and camaraderie. Finally, if you just can't find it in yourself to come to the game for these reasons, do the football and App fans a favor. Just stay home. Rugby alumni game By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sport* Editor The ASU Rugby team will be holding their annual alumni game on Sunday, October 16. The event will be held as part of the Homecoming '88 festivities at Appalachian. If Ritchie Melchor continues with his ambitions and his current attitude, he should have no problems achieving his dreams. The game will be held at State Farm Field "in the hole" at 1:30 p.m. Park- ing will be permitted only on the State Farm Field paved lot. No parking will be allowed on the grass. All students, faculty, staff, and homecoming visitors and alumni are invited and urged to attend this always exciting matchup between the present and former Club Ruebv teams.

I actually get paid to write for The Appalachian. (Believe it or not, I do.) Which means that about every third word I write benefits social parasites. I have a really strong urge to kill something. Let's examine this situation. People get food stamps. They get welfare checks. These things are free. We pay these people to do nothing. We say, "It's okay. Don't worry. Be happy. We will feed you, clothe you and pay your rent. Do not look for a job." This is the wrong message to be send­ ing these people. We should be telling these people that it is wrong to be a social parasite. They should have to do some kind of work...they could clean up road­ sides, they could scrub toilets in public restrooms, they could carry bricks from one end of King Street to the other. Then they could move the bricks to the other end the next day. Sure, carrying bricks down King two there would be a mass exodus of Street would be a useless occupation people getting off welfare and finding (for useless people???) but I also jobs. think that those people would quickly reevaluate their situation and find some other job rather quickly.

It's n t change very much. When I was really simple. I think after a month or a junior in high school, we had a similar project. My solution this time was to give each person subsisting on welfare, et.c. to a family of people who pay taxes and who are productive members of society. This person would then become a live-in slave for that family, having to do the dirty work for them. In return, the family would provide their slave with food and shelter. I have decided now that even that plan is too lenient. Now I think that we should get a list of all the social parasites and kill them. Very simple, very easy. We could work out a system. Yeah, right. We couldn't do that, and it wouldn't be right anyway. Okay. There's a problem. The working class of society is supporting a huge segment of social parasites, and we are not offering these parasites any incentive to improve the situation. We give them no reason to find jobs. We reinforce the idea that the United States is a place where you can get something for nothing. For millions of people, the U.S. is a place where you can get something for nothing. I think it's time we send the message that the U.S. is the land of opportunity, not the land of the free lunch. Amen. • fundamentalist Christianity should stop now!

Chiistianity is a revealed religion based on supernatural communica­ tion from God to man. There is no need for a revealed religion, creation itself proves the existence of a supreme being. How can the scrip­ tures be a revelation at all? A revela­ tion comes directly from God and the scriptures are second hand and taken upon trust. Christianity bases itself on three modes of superstition: mystery, miracle and prophecy. The real word of God is the creation we behold. Therefore true theology consists of mathematics and astronomy, the study of the works and wisdom of God. The only real way to worship god is with reason and scientific observation.

Also replace "promote the general Welfare" with "promote a Godfearing lifestyle" and you will have the new preamble to the Funmdamentalist Christian Constitution of he Godfearing United States Of America. Let's continue on this premise. Sec­ tion 1 in Article 1 can remain the same. In paragraph two of section 2 insert the phrase "been seven years a saved fundamentalist Christian," right after "..attained to the Age of I'wenty-five years,"Section 3 needs the same insert, this time right after "..attained the age Of Thirty-years." No more changes until Section 8, here insert "To establish and promote a fundamentalist Christian Godfearing lifestyle" between paragraphs four and five. Simple so far, right? Okay. Now comes the easy part. Remove Amend­ ments I,IV,V,IX,X,XIII,XIV, and XXL Now reinstate the eighteen amendment. Now read through what you have left. That should be enough for the Fundamentalist Christians to really raise havoc with. Hell. Within two years they can have this nation back on its feet and running with a smooth fundamentalist Christian elo­ quence. What's really scary is that only a small precentage of these fundamentalist Christians are speaking. The rest are all blind sheep, being cared for by ig­ norant shepherds who have no con­ cept of individualism. Every answer to every question poised to these shepherds is in the shepherd's how-to manual; their Bible. So what do their intelligent sheep do? You guessed it. They learn their manual. There is no hope for theses disease-infected people—I'd say individuals but it'd be a misnomer—there is no cure. So what do we as a society do with them? Again I'll put forth a proposal, if you have a better one just drop me a line C/O The Appalachian. I'll be glad to consider all reasonable pro­ posals. What I propose is rather sim­ ple. We gather up all these Fun­ damentalist Christians and give them Death Valley. They can summon up a miracle or two, perhaps some Divine Intervention thrown in on the side and presto! A new chosen land. In this new chosen land society could let these mentally deficient creatures run around and play holierthan-thou all day long without in­ terfering with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and the United States. A Berlin-type wall could be erected around this fundamentalist Christian compound. Not to keep the Christians in, but to protect them for the real world! This really isn't such a radical idea. 1 mean they already pracitce a form of this. Christians hang around with other Chirstians. They work together, pray together, and even sleep together. Of course it's not always with their spouse. But, hey. They're almost human. They walk on two legs, can manipulate their thumbs, they can even think in abstract thought. Their only hang-up is that they can not think rationally in abstract thought. For that they turn to their ever trusting how-to manual. If we (remember us little folk) are not extremely careful the fundamen­ talist Chirstians will sneak up into the government and very subtly take con­ trol. Their power over weak-minded individuals is very strong. We must take a stand against them. No more. We won't put up with their consorship. We wpn't put up with their close-minded attitudes.

" THE APPALACHIAN. HOMECOMING '88 APPAL AC/ ible option for unplanned pregnancies and thank God I realized this n l S n * a r s ons o eP Abortion curtailed for two excellent results To the Editor: am writing this in response to the article on abortion by Quentin Compson in the September 27 edi­ tion. In the article he blasted the Jesus Freaks" for wanting to im­ pose their personal beliefs on the en­ tire population. Mr. Compson would probably consider me to be a "Jesus Freak." This is due to the fact that 1 dedicated my life to Jesus Christ three years ago. Being a "Jesus fTeak" I can honestly say that 1 don't try to force my ideas about abortion or anything else on anyone. I do, however, feel obligated as a C hristian to speak my peace. Up until my first year in high school, I had done well in school. I was an honor student and had plans for college when 1 got out of high school. In my sophmore year I started hanging out with the "wrong" crowd. 1 began to pick up some bad habits, first drinking and then later smoking pot. In my senior year my girl friend got. pregnant. We were married that summer. (Neither of us felt abortion was a responsible option.) I dropped my plans for col­ lege, and started to work to support my family. We went to church in the begin­ ning but never really regularly. I could feel God's presence and I knew he wanted me to give him my life. I felt I was too young and would miss out on a lot of things. I promised God that if he would make things work out for us, I would give him my life. He did his part but I didn't do mine. I straightened up for awhile, but after a few years I started back drinking. Then later I started smoking again. I even tried speed and cocaine. All the time 1 was seeking a peace that could never be found in any of these. We began to have trouble in our marriage. After eight years, my wife left. I was forced out of my home, and the court awarded her everything. I had lost everything in this world that was important to me. In my heart, I knew that God had taken them because I had broken my promise. I did a lot of soul searching and in September of 1985, I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I found that peace inside that I had been longing for. And even though I had lost everything dear to me, I still had that wonderful peace inside. in November of 1985, I started to college. In February, 1986 I gained Inconsistantancieswith parking regulatioi full custody of my two daughters. (This is a miracle considering my past and North Carolina Laws.) A tew months later I got my home back. 1 transferred to ASU this fall with a 3.2 GPA. God has really turned my life around and I give him all the credit for whatever good there is in me. My children are both doing well. Cindy, the one we chose not to abort, is the oldest. She is in the Academically Gifted Class at school. She was awarded Good Citizen of her class last year. Also she is in her second year of piano and is in her first year of band. I'm not bragging, I am just trying to show my point. Mandy, also is in her second year of piano, is in the upper portion of her second grade class. By the way, both of them are little "Jesus Freaks," too. 1 thank my God that neither of my children were aborted. Mandy asked me yesterday what an abor­ tion was. I told her and she said, "I sure am glad mama didn't do that to me." Mr. Compson said that he didn't know (nor did he care) if abortion is ethical or moral, and that those types of decisions should be made by the individuals involved. If this is I would like to take this oppor­ tunity to express my extreme Idispleasure with the security force [employed by ASU. As I was walking home today latter classes, I walked through V lLot (the parking lot beside the IET •Building). I noticed an officer leavling the lot as I was entering. There Iwere no less than fourteen parking Itickets on various vehicles. At the lend of the lot there were three Ivehicles (two Toyota trucks, one jJeep CJ5) parked on the grass bejtween the parking lot and the street. IThere was not a single ticket on any lof these three Four Wheel Drive |vehicles. My argument is a very simple one: If Security is going to allow people to park in places that are obviously not a parking space, why do they even issue parking stickers?

Women will have abortions regardless. Unplanned pregnancy is a complicated phenomena. Young people especially, become pregnant not because they are "dumb" as Compson implies but rather due to lack of availability of and education about contraception, a feeling of futurelessness, and just plain fear of rejection if they insist on birth con­ trol. Thus low self-esteem is one cause of unplanned pregnancy. Low self-esteem is not limited to poor people. This brings me to my second point. Second, Compson links unplanned and unwanted pregnancies together. While this might often be the case it is not always so. For example, in other more rural times in our history it was necessary to have many children to help support the family and provide security in old age. This is still important to the working poor or those who are unemployed or underemployed who cannot look forward to a pension. Are people poor because they have too many children or do they have children because they feel they need them to survive? I'm not certain of the statistics but it seems that making abortion illegal would increase births to teenage parents, both middle and lower class, and in those middle class families where birth control failed or was not used. Third, I really object to Compson's overt classism and latent racism. While poor people may in­ deed be having more children one reason for this was touched on above.

HOMECOMING '38 i/ Abortion issue: Is a zygote a human being To the Editor: To repond to Mr. Quentin Compn's September 27 article, "Quentin cneaks out on Issue of importance," I would first like to make a few necessary points. The jjrett result of fertilization (female L and male sperm) is a zygote with it chromosome pairs unique to each nd every zygote. Once this zygote as been created he/she will divide uid become a fluid filled sphere or a wtocyst. In two weeks after futher 'ell division and growth, he/she ,ecomes an embryo, by three nonths, a fetus. I do not know a lot about jioiogy; I am sure my crude descripion is laughable to the biology maors out there, however, to the best ,f my knowledge, this is the first lagcs of human development. Yes, these stages are marked by otal dependence on the woman, nit, let us not confuse dependence nth non-existence. As Mr. Compon -tated in his article, "There's uch a fuss about women having bortions — a procedure which af­ The fects only their bodies..." Correct me if I am wrong Mr. Compson, but I concluded that "their" refer­ red to the woman's body only. Let's 8 ack to our biology review. A zygote has separate and totally uni­ que chromosomes. The zygote rvides into a blastocyst and then an embryo. The pregnant woman has ner set of chromosomes that she received from her parents, making er unique and the developing emryo has received chromosomes his/her parents making up a separate and unique being. Is this unique being human? It is safe to say that if examined, a developing zygote and the following stages, would not have the chromosomes of a cat, a horse, or a monkey, or any other being but a human. From this we can conclude that the abortion issue directly in­ volves two human beings; one - at a very early stage of development and whose life is totally dependent upon the other, and two — at a later stage of development whose life is drastically affected by the other. The abortion issue does not ask if the developing human is genetically human, it does ask if this human, in its total dependency, is a "person." Protection of a human's rights are established under the concept of "personhood." The abortion issue asks if a developing blastocyst, em­ bryo and fetus are in fact "persons" with the right to life. Abortion is a very personal and complex matter because the woman's physical, mental and emotional health and future are so affected; abortion should not be judgementally called murder... Abortion is a very personal and complex matter because the woman's physical, mental and emo­ tional health and future are so af­ fected; abortion should not be judgementally called murder (as a pro-life position might argue); at the same time the difficulty of each decision should not be belittled by comparing it to the removal of an organ and saying it is just a woman's body. to cure "excessive social spending and overpopulation" with the "wrong people" through abortion is not advocating prevention before the fact but destruction after the fact — and this is not a solution that we can all live with. Abortion is also a governmental concern because the purpose of government (at least in theory) is to establish and guarantee rights to each person regardless of physical location or state of dependency. It is not a matter of ethics or religious belief but a scientific fact that human development begins with conception and from there goes through a series of stages ranging from zygote to old age and death. Does anyone remember asking their parents if they could be born? If you were conceived after the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision, you were not guaranteed by the laws of the United States the right to life during your first three months. During the following 3 months the law would not protect your right to life if there was a "reasonable" threat to your mother's health (physical and men­ tal). The last three months of your prenatal life were guaranteed except Getting back to Mr. Compson's article, if abortion is the answer to the "social spending, uncontrolled population growth and the fact that the wrong people are breeding in America, then his solution is no preventive one. Anyone who wishes Another question: I would like to ask everyone to ask their parents if they knew at the time of your con­ ception that intercourse may in fact lead to conception. If the answers to these two questions are no and yes respectively, then I think we can conclude that the two people respon­ sible for bringing you into the world are two people consenting to inter­ course and, whether birth control measures were used or not, the possibility was understood. Preven­ tion as a solution to "excessive social spending" and "overpopula­ tion then lies in the hands of everindividual who realizes this possibili­ ty when consenting to intercourse. It is strictly a matter of religious belief and ethical systems guiding two peo­ ple up to this point but once a life has been created the problem becomes much more complex. The privacy of two people (or in some cases one woman) making a very personal and multi-dimensional decision should be respected. The protection of human life at every stage should be guaranteed if a government (that is for all people) is to serve its purpose. Here we have the paradox of the abortion issue. Rebecca Durr ASU Box 13350 necessary facts rarely examined concerning abortion arc By WILLIAM E. O'FLAHERTY Appalachian Columnist Issues are easily clouded when only partial information is presented and generalized statements are made as truth. How can anyone make a real decision when some important facts are not examined? Abortion is one of those topics in which all necessary facts are rarely examined for a totally informed decision to be made as to whether one is for or against it. Even before the hurdle of looking at facts that are often censored, there are those who favor abortion-onjemand that immediately bring up an abjection like, "You can't legislate norality." The truth of the matter is norality is legislated any time a law is nade. The question is whose morality s going to be legislated. The answer is o have laws that ultimately protect :very person. Think about the entire var on drugs campaign — if that's lot legislating morality tell me what s. Consider a different example dealng with stop lights. They tell us what ve should and should not do (to obey >r not to is our choice). One of their imposes is to prevent one car from lilting another, which protects the eople in the vehicle. Wouldn't it be absurd to have the law say that a cer­ tain type of person could ignore the red light because their rights were greater? This is really what abortionon-demand has done. To carry the point further, the im­ plications of what abortion laws have created should be obvious. If the rights of a certain type of peson (i.e. the unborn) is taken away, then it's only a matter of time before others are deemed non-persons. This is what the Roe v. Wade decision ruled so the developing baby could not be legally protected. The handicapped are next to be thus labeled as some elderly and terminally ill have already started to be. People are unaware of some of the realities of what abortion-on-demand means. It means that a mother can have her baby killed any time during the entire nine months. Obviously most chose to do so before the third trimester, but don't be fooled into thinking it's a rare occurrence for women to wait until then. All that's needed is for just one doctor to agree it's in the best interest of the mother's "health," which is broadly defined to include practically any reason, Another common misconception is that most think of the unborn as only a blob of tissue. Consider these facts though: by the fourth week after con­ ception the baby clearly has an upper and lower body while being less than one-fourth of an inch in length. Before this (at about 18 days) the heart has already begun to beat. By the fifth week the development of the eyes has started. The brain begins functioning during the sixth week. As the eighth week ends the developing baby has their own fingerprints and can teel pain. So tell me, when was the last time you saw a "blob of tissue" with eyes, a heartbeat and a brain? By the way, most of this informa­ tion was known before the 1970s and is scientifically documented. The issue of the woman having the right to control her own body is one that's often raised. One many facetiously ask, "Since when has it been out of her control?" Seriously though, from a biological standpoint consider that 52 percent of babies conceived are male. Not too many women's bodies have male organs! Also since the age of in vitro fertiliza­ tion it is now possible (though not likely) for a Black or Indian zygote (the fertilized egg) to be placed in a white woman's womb. Meaning she could give birth to a child of purely another race. This raises several ques­ tions as to whose body is whose, especially since babies are genetically unique. Besides, women already have the right to control their body by engaging in behavior that would not put them in the predicament of get­ ting pregnant. Rape or incest cases are an issue that is seemingly more complex. But, first consider the above mentioned in­ formation. If you realize the unborn is a person, then, can two wrongs make a right? So killing the baby doesn't seem too logical because of the crime of the father. Aside from this, less than one percent of women seeking abortion are for reported reasons of rape or incest. In fact few women become pregnant as a result of rape or incest, partially due to the ex­ treme emotional trauma. What should a woman do instead? Besides the obvious choice of keeping the baby, the next best alternative is to give the baby up for adoption. Few people realize a couple wanting to adopt has to wait an average of three years because there are so few babies available. Another common question con­ cerns the "unwanted" issue. The logic usually goes something like "an unwanted child will be abused." The sad fact is that the National Center of Child Abuse and Neglect statistics show child abuse has increased over 500 percent since abortion-ondemand was legalized in 1973. This could be because human life has been devalued. Again, a better answer to the "unwanted" issue would be the adoption option. A similar issue surrounds the ques­ tion of giving birth when some testing says the baby will have some kind of birth defect. Just considering the various documented cases of these tests being wrong sometimes should make anyone reconsider. Unfor­ tunately, most don't know that infor­ mation could it have been censored? Suppose you're the doctor and a pregnant mother came to you and her family had a case history of syphilis, deafness and insanity. Plus she already has a few children with birth defects. Would you recommend si • get an abortion? If so, then con­ gratulations, you've just killed Beethoven! Not only that, you've also prevented an untold number of peo­ ple from being influenced by his life and music. Some would claim that those op­ posed to abortion are "only fetus lovers" at best and they definitely don't care about the women. Dr. John C. Willke, president of National Right to Life, disputes these claims with the facts. He states there are nearly 20 percent more offices set up in the U.S. to provide help for the mother than there are offices set up for efforts to prevent the killing of the unborn (through education, legisla­ tion and political action). If you wish to question who cares more for the mother, consider the not so well known fact that 10-15 percent of women getting an abortion are not pregnant! Also what about the many women who have died from complica­ tions of the abortion procedure that are covered up.

HOMECOMING . Administration doesn't recognize students as being intellig^ To the Editor: 1 he ongoing debate concerning the insensitivity of the administra­ tion concerning the needs and desires of the faculty and students of 1S one that 1 have followed with interest and more than a little anger. I would like to take the opportunity to remind the administration of what, in my opin­ ion, the exact purpose of a universi­ ty really is. In theory, this, and any other university, exists for the sole pur­ pose of providing its students with a oalanced quality education that will prepare them to meet the challenges of the "real" world. This goal is achieved by providing a variety of different courses, activities and social organizations which allow the student an opportunity to become exposed to ideas and situations that perhaps they have never been exposed to or never really thought about before. The simple logic behind this cannot be missed: a university exists first and foremost for the students, without whom there would be no university in the first place. This logic seems to have escaped ASU's administration, however. In fairness to them, they are not alone Ii is the standard dogma of most university administrations that students enter the hallowed halls of academia as mere children with the barest amounts of intellect and com­ mon sense and therefore must, with their brains "full of mush," be led by the wise men in high places who have seen the light of "pure" Knowledge and Truth in order that they will become as "enlighted" and wise as they are. Like the many peo­ ple that work so hard and tirelessly to control what we watch in movie theaters, and what we read in libraries, bookstores and magazine stands at the local 7-11, they automatically assume that our ability to think for ourselves is minimal at best and highly subject to influence by the most trivial of actions and words. If allowed to think and make decisions for ourselves, we will always make the wrong ones, and invariably do ourselves more harm Appalachian Columnist With all the flag waving and the politicking that is going on, some leflections on freedom are in order. I would like to bring your attention o the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. 'We hold these truths to be selfevident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable r^nts, that among these are Life Liberty, and the Pursuit of Hanpiness." One of the things that strikes me when I read this is what was selfevident to them is not self-evident to us. It was elementary to their even from within humanity. It was understanding that men were created "self-evident" that these rights were and that they had a Creator. We seem to have lost some of what was so selfevident in 1776. The next thing worth It was elementary to their asking is, what is our understanding of those certain inalienable rights' understanding that men The meaning of inalienable is, "not were created and that they transferable to another." We have been given life and liberty had a Creator. We seem to but by what authority? If they have have lost some of what was been granted to us by the authority of so self-evident in 1776. the state then can the state also revoke them at its pleasure?

This, I say, is a load of grade A horse manure! This university exists for the purpose of opening our minds to new thoughts and experiences and this can only be done in an environment that fosters the conviction that the administra­ tion sees the students as intelligent and highly capable young adults that have something to offer to the university and the world. Anything less than this is a betrayal to the students and, most importantly, the university.

"What I did was to make up a provisional driver's license that they get when they finish driver's education. Then when they drop out of school we'd have a man­ date to pick the license up." for students who drop out to help support a family, he said there could be a special exemption. Goldston said that damage to our environment by litter is a major con­ cern facing the citizens of North Carolina. Of that amount, $82,743.07 has been spent at the bookstore, $42,317.36 at food services, $808.37 at the laundry services and $788.06 t the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. To open an account, a student must make a minimum initial deposit of $100. Additional money may be add­ ed in increments of $20. On the average, $3,000 is added to students' accounts each week. Faculty and staff may also open Appalachian Express accounts. Their accounts, however, work differently than student accounts. Faculty and staff accounts are tied directly into the payroll and work directly as a charge account. The amount charged is then deducted from the monthly payroll. Currently, there are 399 faculty and staff accounts. Director of Mountaineer Escort David Hiller spoke about the success of this year's Mountaineer Escort program. Hiller is proud that for the first time in three years the program started on the first day of classes. Last semester, Mountaineer Escort received an average of three to five calls per night. This semester that has been up to an average of ten calls per night. "We've got to get a hold on this thing before it gets away from us. Let s start at a very basic part of it," he said. "Drive down the road and look at the trash. Those cans and bot­ tles don't go away. We've got to get our mind set for our kids, not to throw that trash out there." In introducing Senator Goldston, Professor of Human Development and Psychological Counseling Dr. Fred Badders challenged students to do four things before the upcoming presidential election: register to vote, become knowledgable of the issues! oecome involved, and vote.

The Faculty Senate feel they have been largely ig­ nored on the parking problems. "Two recommendations were ac­ cepted by the administration, but the Academic Integrity Policy is not working, and in my opinion will not work," Raymond said. Another reason Raymond has for abolishing the Senate is the constitu­ tion which he said is contradictory. "In the constitution, before stating that power is legally held by the boards and the chancellor, the pream­ ble states that the faculty 'acknowledges the principle of selfgovernment' and 'recognizes the responsibility of the faculty for the in­ ternal affairs of the institution,' " he said. One cannot self-govern without the power to do so, nor can one be held responsible for something over which one has no control. The Constitution is flawed," he said. "How can faculty make policy when it has no power to do so. We are living a lie and operating on the premise that we can make laws," Raymond added. Raymond also said that the Senate does not always represent the views of the entire faculty. "Not only is the faculty Senate a powerless body, some of its practices are undemocratic, it fails to represent the spectrum of faculty viewpoints in its deliberations, it consumes enor­ mous quantities of faculty time that could be spend more productively do­ ing other things, and it tends to get raise BARRINEAU Appalachian issues including: the evalutaion of deans and chairs, expulsion of students found guilty of making bomb threats, revision and enforce­ ment of parking regulations, academic integrity policies, ASU Foundation Divestment in business operating in South Africa, facility use policy, and the book rental system.

USC moved up to number eight in the Associated Press' Division 1 football poll after beating Georgia 23-10. ASU remained number two after crushing Gard­ ner Webb 39-10 last Saturday.

ASU's Faculty Handbook defines an assistant professor as one who has earned a doctorate from an accredited institution or completed two years of work in graduate studies, and who also has at least three years of teaching experience. A full professor must' have all of the above plus 10 years teaching ex­ perience and an "outstanding reputa­ tion in teaching, research, creativity or professional service." "Personally 1 can support the first or last of these options, but not the se­ cond." he said. "The Senate, it's committees, and many other universi­ ty committees should be eliminated. Only those committees whose advice is valued by the responsible ad­ ministrator, for example, the Univer­ sity Research Committee or the task force on the baccalaureate degree, should be retained." faculty should meet as an assembly of the whole, several times during the year, to discuss issues of fundamental academic concern to the institution," Raymond said. •it have the same number of faculty members and the same amount of money to pay them with. However, one of the universities has more full professors and associate professors that you must pay a higher salary to. What will happen is that the average salary for all levels of professors (assistant, associate and full) will come down," Durham said. In 1987, the average pay for a full professor was $39,399. An associate professor received $33,582 and an assistant professor received $30,123. An associate professor must have the same credentials as an assistant professor, plus Five years of teaching experience. An associate professor must also have received "distinction and recognition in teaching, research, creativity, or professional service," and "a willingness to participate in in­ stitutional affairs." placate the faculty giving the illusion that faculty have a voice in policy making and administration of the in­ stitution," Raymond said. Raymond stated three principle choices as solutions to these pro­ blems: "We can recognize how the in­ stitution operates and accept it, we can continue the charade of preten­ ding that unsolicited faculty opinions on a wide range of issues are desired and considered seriously by the ad­ ministration, or we can work vigorously for radical change." c- ^ �Tl/t APPALACHIAN, THURSDA Y, SEPTEMBER 29, 1988 Republicans make fall plans Dougherty House not for By DOROTHV BROOKS By DOROTHY RDnni/c Appalachian However, academic advisor for the victory in November and Johnson club Dr. Matt Williamson describes said that it is inevitable. the club as strong.

The club is hoping for a Republican By PAULA DICKINSON Appalachian Staff Writer The Dougherty House, relocated to a site off State Farm Road in June, will remain there until an approved group takes over the building. According to Vice Chancellor for Development Bob Snead, the group can be any committee approved by the administration which plans to preserve the building and put it to good use. "The original idea was to move the house, which was badly deteriorating, and to preserve it at another site, instead of preserving it on its initial Rivers Street site and having to move it later," Snead said. As plans were being made for the relocation, a group called The Dougherty House Committee seemed interested in the home.

When it came time to actually move the house, the committee did not have a site in mind, so the administration found one and it was moved to the area behind State Farm Field. At this time, the Dougherty House Committee has disbanded for unknown reasons. Snead said the public was misled by the publicity that the house was being sold.

"I've always been very much into music," he said, "so this friend of mine talked me into coming to a Stage Council meeting." From that first meeting, Lane's in­ volvement with A.P.P.S. really took off. His sophomore year, Lane was chairperson of the Stage Council. His junior and senior years, he was elected president of the Executive Council. Lane says that when he first took the position of president, he was inex­ perienced and very new at it. "I just went at it blindly," he said. Blind or not, good things seem to have happened for A.P.P.S. since Lane has been president. "My main goal for A.P.P.S. is to get along better with other campus organizations, specifically RSA and SGA," Lane said. "I think we've come a long way with this." A.P.P.S. membership has also doubled since Lane has been at the helm. "Last year we had forty to fifty-five members," he stated. "Now we have close to 100." He is en­ thusiastic about this and said that they are still looking for members. From talking to Lane, I get the im­ pression that he is a people kind of person. This makes it hard to believe that he was once very shy, but he swears it is true. Have you ever wondered what kind °t person would work a 40 hour week, take a full load of elasses, and 'Si not get paid for any of it? They would have to be crazy, right? Well, maybe, but they would also have to be very dedicated and really enjoy and care about what they were doing. This is the sort of person that Lane _ Newsome, the president of the A.P.P.S. executive council, is. nce Hjii Lane is a senior this year, and for 'ber i the past two years has been the presi­ '• °cioj dent of the executive council for ne u A.P.P.S. His work has been strictly voluntary in the past, but this year he does get a small salary.

Henderson begins tradition as Alumni director By TODD JOHNSON Appalachian Slaff Writer drill^i n™ ^SW days y0U t0SS I your n, Write this down to make it more of a commitment and use a calendar to schedule certain target dates and times for wellness activities. It may help to make a change with a friend so you have someone to motivate and support you. Patrick Henderson is the assistant director for Alumni Affairs. He has tried to set new traditions in programs for the alumni this year. Henderson was originally from Providence, Rhode Island before he and his family moved to Charlotte in the late 60's. He attended Lees McCrae college for two years and then came to ASU, where he graduated with a BSBA in 1981. He worked as a high school substitute teacher and for Delta Airlines before he came back to ASU for his Marketing Ed certificate. After this he taught from 1984-88 at Jordan High School in Durham, N.C. Here he was also co-advisor for the local DECA chapter. He did this until he felt himself being called elsewhere, called back to ASU. "I wanted to come back to ASU because I love Boone," Henderson said. "I really enjoy the small town setting of the campus.. .that's impor­ tant to me." Henderson had two sisters who also came to ASU. He said he likes to see that the campus is "progressing and constantly improv­ ing." Henderson really shows an enjoy­ ment for working with students. And his job comes with a lot of respon­ sibility. He is in charge of organizing and coordinating the young alumni program, which is attempting to unify the underclassmen and get them in­ volved in campus activities. Programs for such included a social for the young alumni given at the Comfort Inn. He is also the advisor for the ASU Ambassadors, a student group responsible for promoting ASU through activities such as university tours and rallies. He is also responsible for the senior program, which he has already in­ itiated with the sale of the senior business cards. The cards were pro­ moted in The Appalachian and on WASU as well as AppalNET. This is something new to the seniors at ASU and was conceived by Henderson long before he came to Alumni Affairs. Henderson conceived the senior cards when he was working with a printing company. "I realized that there were a need for these cards," Henderson said. "Sort of a casual mini resume' just to get their foot in the door with a potential employer." When he came back to ASU with Alumni Affairs there was still nothing "of the sort, so the senior business cards were the first activity he im­ plemented for the senior program this year. The response of the seniors to the cards was typical of many first time trials; only about 30 seniors ordered the cards in the first two days of the sale. Henderson hopes that when they are sold again in October there will be a better response. He added that this is not a money making venture, it is merely a service to help seniors be remembered by potential employers. So what of the future? Henderson has set goals for what he hopes to ac­ complish this year with his programs. He is already planning future ac­ tivities for the'senior program. The thing he is going to do very soon is to call about 300 seniors to survey them in order to get their feedback on what activities they'd like to have. He feels they would appreciate having the pro­ gram designed around them. He also wants to make the Am­ bassadors an exemplary group, such that other colleges will look up to them as an influence. He also even­ tually sees the Senior Program and Young Alumni getting more involved in functions and activities, as well as working together to plan joint ac­ tivities, cruises, etc. That's a lot of responsibility for one man to handle, but Henderson said that he enjoys every minute of it and he feels good being kept on the move. �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1988 Education, San Jose State University, San Jose, CA 9f >192-0135.

People who came to see the group IKO perform their brand of Grateful Dead-era rock brought various canned goods and non-perishable food items to donate to the hundreds of thousands of unfortunate Jamaicans who were washed out of their homes by the worst tropical disaster to hit the Western Hemisphere in this century. However, despite the seriousness of their cause, IKO managed to give the crowd at Amadeus a quite enjoyable show. The band features a primarily early 70's blues rock sound with a little reg­ gae thrown in, including heavy influences from the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and Little Feat. The name of the group comes from the title of a cajun rock song by Dr. John and is the second name given to the band; the first one apparently not being suitable for print. Hailing from Charlotte, the band consists of; Ken Foust (guitar), Tommy Ballenger (guitar), Randy Shelor (bass), Russ Beterbaugh (keyboards), and Greg Walker (drums). They played a fair amount of cover tunes and some originals, most of which took on a Grateful Dead feel. Even their cover of the Beatles' "Dear Prudence" con­ jured up some Dead spirits. Never­ theless, the Grateful Dead cloud lifted long enough for the group to churn out Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "Mama Don't Want No" by Doc Watson. IKO's repertoire gives them a decent following in Boone, and their energy and soul make them a fun band to watch. The idea to hold the benefit concert was spontaneously arrived at by the band while talking to a friend, Jeannie Igoe, who is the organizer of an operation to aid the island nation in the wake of Hurricane Gilbert. They saw the table Igoe had set up outside the Sweet Shop to collect donations and recognized the oppor­ tunity to kill two birds with one stone. Knowing they were going to play at Amadeus in a couple of days, they saw the chance to help Igoe make peo­ ple more aware of the situation in Jamaica and also help in the collec­ tion effort. Canned goods and other nonperishables were accepted at the door along with a $3 cover charge. Shelor, IKO's bass player, said part of the proceeds the band made from the concert will be spent on nails and other hardware materials to send to the struggling work forces in Jamaica to aid them in their rebuilding effort. Although the band, their fans, and other supporters showed their generosity Thursday night, the need for necessary supplies in Jamaica is an ongoing one, and donations for food and hardware will still be accepted by various Boone merchants in the forth­ coming weeks. Harris-Teeter, A & P, Lowe's at the New Market Center, and the Watauga Hunger Coalition are among those accepting food. Con­ tributions of money can be deposited at Record and Tape Depot, Boone Bagelery, Dancing Moon, or The Shepherd's Inn. See IKO Page 6 Clearlight crowd wasn't "Comfortably Numb' Bv MARK T ATFMnorccr By MARK LATENDRESSE Appalachian Staff Writer Over 300 ASU students gathered together last Friday night to enjoy the sounds of Clearlight, a Canadian band which focuses primarily on music written by Pink Floyd. Opening with "Learning to Fly," from Pink Floyd's new release "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," Clearlight demonstrated an excellent ability to reproduce the sounds of Pink Floyd. The instrumental performance of the band was com­ mendable; however, the vocals need­ ed minor adjustments before the overall effect reached the appropriate level deserved by Pink Floyd's music. Formed in a small town 40 miles outside of Toronto, Canada, Clearlight spends about 30 percent of their time performing in the eastern United States. "We like playing down east," lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Jerry Laufman said. "We play a lot of universities and bars.. .we prefer the universities." "You guys [university students] are more interested in what's eoing on out there. This music is meant for you. The crowds are more responsive on campuses," he added. This was certainly true Friday night. During the second set, where the band focused on Floyd's rock opera "The Wall," the crowd was more than responsive. The audience, crowding the stage, began a Pink Floyd sing-along. This was a first for Clearlight, and they were suitably impressed. During several songs the vocalist stopped singing to listen to the audience. Old favorites like "Comfortably Numb," "Mother," Run like Hell" and "Another Brick in the Wall" brought the audience into the music. Clearlight began 10 years ago in Hamilton, Canada and has evolved over the years. Only three members of the original band are still with Clearlight: Kevin Briggs, lead guitarist and vocalist; Mike Eyers, drums, percussionist and vocalist; and Jerry Laufman. The newest member of the band, Ken Jaap, plays bass and is a vocalist. During the first set the band played several original compositions all writ­ ten by Laufman. Among them were "Are You in Heaven?," "Hear the Heart," "Beast and the Beauty" and "Life and I." Their originals were well-written but need a little polish before any record contracts are signed. Laufman hopes the band will start recording in the near future. "Record contracts are what we are hoping for. We just keep on practic­ ing and have some feelers out with some record companies," he said. Briggs has higher aspirations than record contracts. "I want to play in Moscow. You know, with Glasnost and all that perhaps they'll allow Pink Floyd's music in Russia now," Briggs said. I'm not sure the Soviet Union is ready for Pink Floyd's message. There are a lot of people in the United States that are too upset by Floyd's outcry on society. But I am certain that ASU and A.P.P.S. will let them play again. When they do, I recom­ mend you catch their performance." They're not Pink Floyd, but hey, the ticket was only three bucks, and travel time was minimal. Overall it was a good show and an enjoyable eveing. Pink Floyd tribute band Clearlight Amnesty International tour pleads for rights By ROBERT BASS Appalachian Staff Writer Concerts for causes are a major factor of the music scene in the late 1980s just as they were in the late 60s. The only difference being the 80s vision has changed to inform much larger groups of people and serve a more universal purpose. Back in the 60s, there were many solo protest singers who spoke out against the denial of civil rights or the Vietnam war. The message in recent benefit concerts like Live Aid, No Nukes con­ cert, and now Amnesty International, have evolved from the backyard to more universal problems that threaten us all. This global awareness set the stage for the Human Rights Now! concert at JFK stadium, in which 75,000 people showed up in support. The seven-hour marathon opened up with all six performers (Tracy Chapman, Sting, Joan baez, Youssou N'Dour, Peter Gabriel and Bruce Springsteen) singing Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up." After they finished, the guest performer, Joan Baez, came out to start her set. If there was a weak spot in the crowd with her powerful voice.

It was during What 9 s up Not the Numbers By VANCE STAMEY Appalachian Staff Writer It was the frothy, alternative fan's worst nightmare. It was the universal dude's dream. It was the mixing bowl for a smorgasbord of sounds, sights and suds. Hey man, it was last Friday night. There were four (yes, count 'em) alternative (a word I love to hate) bands playing in one measly night. There were those loveable guys in The Outer Limits headlining in that most spacious of hangouts, Sollecito's. There were those kings of swing, Not the Numbers, playing for us humble students in the Student Union Pub. Relying upon my death-defying, jour­ nalistic instincts, I suggested to my omniscent editor thai I be assigned to that Pub thing. Earlier Friday afternoon, one of my numerous informants informed me that Fear and Loathing would be opening up at The Pub. What was one to think? I had heard rumor (whilst doing the casino thing in Las Vegas, of course) that those Fear and Loathing boys had acquired one drummer, quite an impressive feat here in the big city. Rumor also had it that those Not the Numbers cats had given up their jangly dimples for (deep gasp necessary for dramatic ef­ fect) straight ahead rock-n-roll (need I say cliche of the day). Those electric, power-chord mongers, that go by Fear and Loathing, rode the small crowd's an­ ticipation well and started off on the good foot. It was obvious the flesh and blood on drums had been what these guys needed in previous outings. The dudes had singing, big guitar, a fat bottom and I liked it. It was also obvious that a little thought and plan­ ning had gone into the stage show. There were mood lights, home movies and a troubled attitude to match. While not exactly original elements of guise, they were effective and ap­ preciated. After the usual break between bands, Not the Numbers took to the stage like milk to cereal. Why milk? Because when it goes, baby, it flows. These guys started off as three or­ dinary students here at ASU, but later relocated to Raleigh for the big time. After a few lineup changes drummer John Brandy and guitarist/singer William Dunavent remain as the core of the band. There was a big dif­ ference since I'd first seen them in the thriving metropolis of Hickory, way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Perhaps the most important of these changes was the addition of a se­ cond guitarist. This addition put a lit­ tle more crunch to their munch, so to speak. But Vance baby, was the band tight and danceable you keep asking yourself. Is Superman super? Is Fat Albert fat? Is James Brown brown? I'll be the first to admit they were'nt the most exciting band to watch, unless your thing is watching some guy sling his hair around. Never­ theless, Not the Numbers dished out their guitar ditties to a small yet recep­ tive crowd, a crowd mixed with virgin ears and those who knew the band from their Boonesboro days of yesteryear. this song that Sting and his band real­ ly started to loosen up and bring the crowd into his show. The British singer/songwriter donned a guitar for the mellow "Fragile," which was nicely com­ plimented by the tapestries of the band and Sting's soothing voice. "They Danced Alone," a song about the thousands who have disappeared in South America under suspicious circumstances, was an equally delicate moment. Sting had Gabriel join him on stage to help him sing the bitter­ sweet homage. In the compressed melody of "Bring on the Night" and "When the World is Running Down, Make the Best of What's Still Around," Sting surrendered the spotlight to his band. When it was time for Sting's encore, he was joined by Bruce Springsteen for the Police's "Every Breath You Take," much to the delight of the crowd. Springsteen then introduced Peter Gabriel, who came out and started See AMNESTY Page 6 September 29—A.P.P.S. film: The Princess Bride, IGG,7&9p.m.,$l A.P.P.S. band: The Right Profile, H'Appy's, 8:30 p.m. University Theatre: Heathen Valley, CWA, 8 p.m. Art Exhibit: "Figurative Artists", CSG Band: The Open Window Travel Agency, Klondike Cafe, 9 p.m. Organist Bernhard Haas, BMC, 8 p.m. September 30—A.P.P.S. band: October 4—Film: The Reivers, 11 a.m., 2, 5, and 7:30 p.m. Major Performing Arts: Sweet Charity, FA, 8 p.m. 11—Film: Last Americi Hero, 11 a.m., 2, 5, and 7:30 p.r October 12—A.P.P.S. film: 77 Omen, IGG, 8 p.m., $1 October October 13—Faculty Recital: Glenn Muegel, Allen Kindt, BMC, 8 p.m. A.P.P.S. film: Fright Night, IGG, 8 p.m. Discord, Pub, 9 p.m. A.P.P.S. film: Here Comes Mr. Jordan, IGG, 7 p.m., free October 14—A.P.P.S. film: A.P.P.S. film: Blithe Spirit, IGG, Hendrix, IGG, 7 p.m. 9 p.m., free A.P.P.S. film: Heartland Re Band: The Undertones, Klondike IGG, 9 p.m. Cafe, 9 p.m. A.P.P.S. concert: Chairmen < Board, H'Appy's, 8:30 p.m. October 1—A.P.P.S. film: Blithe Spirit, IGG, 7 p.m., free A.P.P.S. film: Here Comes Mr. October 15—A.P.P.S. film: Heart­ land Reggae, IGG, 7 p.m. Jordan, IGG, 9 p.m., free A.P.P.S. film: Jimi Hendrix, Saturday Night Live DJ dance, IGG, 9 p.m. H'Appy's, 8:30 p.m., $1 A.P.P.S. concert: The Voltage Band: The Alligators, Sollecito's Brothers, H'Appy's, 8:30 p.m. Fan Club �a sixt)' am* Amnesty Before the song Gabriel told the story of a young black South African stu­ dent who was found dead in a jail with similar bruises to the head only two weeks ago.

Who is in charge? Is anyone in con­ trol? Who is responsible for the changes that are taking place? Is there any valid reason that nobody wants to take responsibility for the bad deci­ sions? Massive changes are going on at ASU. The Dougherty House was moved to make way for a massive multi-million dollar classroom building. Conrad Stadium was renamed for some criminal. ASU is getting a new gymnasium. I have to wonder just what's going on. When did we hear that the Dougherty House was going to be moved? Only after the decision had been made and carved in stone. The ASU community and the people of Boone were not allowed to voice their disapproval until it was assured that they would have no influence on the fate of the house. Still, nobody knows just who was responsible for making this decision. The number one suspect is Chancellor John Thomas. Thomas is known for hiding his decisions behind some ambiguous board or committee. WARM IMG !!! HS-OOBE-O-MAtic pL!MC.Ute. N\ft PGocPo, LOO-P PA-D ALSO tooujo AS tHE. HOMiuipToe THE OCWOC Hfi.

No one has the right to say "I've changed my mind.. .Those ASU students won't be able to get out until 5 p.m." a few weeks before the decision. Many students live out of state and have made flight arrangements that Jhey could not meet without the help of considerate professors. Others will be forced to skip class in order to meet their plans that have been imposed upon by the administration. Still others will not be able to go home until Thursday due to long drives. I was amazed to find that ASU had renamed Conrad Stadium. 1 can think of no practical reason for this change... besides it being a useless change, this is an embarrassment to the university. Perhaps, though, this is the First of many changes in the process of ASU becoming Appalachian State Penitentiary. Will anyone take responsibility for this decision? Did someone pocket some big bucks? Was there some sort of seedy underground deal? Bribery? Hey, at least there's a precedent. ASU is getting a new gym that will cost each student $90 per semester. That's really interesting. Has the gym we have now ever been full? Is there any need to have a larger facility? Did we hear about this development from ASU? No. The Winston-Salem Jour­ nal was the first source in the area to report on the new gym. Who was responsible for making this decision? Who was consulted? H'Appy's is going to be renamed "Legends." The decision has already been made. The ballot that appeared in this newspaper was a farce.

The removal of the Dougherty House, the changing of the name of Conrad Stadium, and the addition of a new gym at ASU can all be called progress. These are all serious changes that most of ASU was unaware of until after the decisions were made. Obviously there is someone who is determining the direction of ASU...WHO IS THIS PERSON? Why does nobody know? If the deci­ sions being made are appropriate, why is the source of these decisions being kept secret? I am tired of reading, "officials at ASU have decided..." or "ASU announced today that.. Who is flying this plane? Whoever it is, please listen. Those of us who give a damn don't like to hear vague references about what is happening at the university. Whoever is making the decisions should be open about the decision-making process. If there is a possibility that ASU is going to get a new gym (and don't try to say that it was a last-minute decision), then let ASU know about it. If people are opposed to a proposal, at least allow them to express their views in an open forum. There is something very sneaky and underhanded about the changes that are going on and about the way they are going on. I have to wonder if the changes are being made in the best inLetest of the aniversilyior in the best interest of some indivicfual or group of individuals. Keeping the facts about such things in the dark leaves the whole administration open to speculation. If there's not something fishy going on, why does everything smell like tuna? ASU needs a good housecleaning. There is something radically wrong with a university that claims it is rais­ ing its fees just so that it won't have the reputation of being cheap. It's true that there are a great many more students who want to go to ASU than there are available spaces, and the simple laws of supply and demand indicate an increase in cost. Why not just say so? But if you're going to lie about it, at least make it a lie that sounds good. For example, say that fees are increasing at ASU in order that the university may offer a better education to its students. Who knows... there may be some people See ANYWAY Page 11 Setting the record straight... STRIFE* OOUUAA "J- Face it, what great clue to the metaphysical nature of the universe will be gained in a few hours? Students will just spend that time staring at a clock thinking about what they haven't packed before they go home! I realize that the university is worried that by allowing students to go home at 12 p.m., students would just skip their morning classes. But what the university does not realize is that by changing the rules in the middle of the game, students will be more hostile, aggressive and feel more removed from the administration of this university. Students will just not go to classes at all on Wednesday just to prove a point. Personally, I don't care whether we even have a break, but 1 find the administration (or whoever ac­ tually made this decision) irresponsible and uncaring for CHANGING THEIR MINDS! The administra­ tion expects better behavior from students than it exhibits itself! For example, students are expected to keep their appointments for interviews, meetings and counseling. When students change their minds about making an appointment or not, they are con­ demned. However, when the administration changes their minds, we (the students) are expected to endure without question! Due to the fact that ASU students have taken this issue fairly well, I feel that the administration will understand the poor attendance in ALL classes on Wednesday. After all, why should ASU students be expected to keep their commitments when the ad­ ministration does not?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Frank "Moose" Callis is the Vice President of the Student Government Associa­ tion. He is also the President of SGA's Senate. You know it used to be that when you wanted someone's attention in Boone all you had to say was either "party" or "free food." This year, however, there has been a major change. If you want someone's atten­ tion you only have to mention "park­ ing." Well, I want to say something about parking and a few other things, also. Student Senate did all it could to try to offset the parking policies put forth by Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette and the Director of Security Roy Tugman last year. Crediting SGA for the policy, in the first issue of The Appalachian is highly irritating to me. The only credit we want, is credit for setting the record straight. We as senators operated within the system. Some of us served on the Traffic Committee which was set up to enable us to give our input. We achieved nothing for our efforts. Un­ til the Traffic Committee had given to the administration its eight sugges­ tions for improvement, I had no idea what co-optation was. It is the process of an organization's leadership plac­ ing members of a group onto commit­ tees to get feedback from those who would be most effected in this case the students. Co-optation is when the ad­ ministration then pushes whatever proposals they choose through the committee without regard to input from the committee members. It is — something akin to "taxation without through Saturday. I cannot see one representation."

Furthermore, do you feel that SGA plays an important role in that process? yif Dino DiBernardi v~ — Melinda Sue Reynolds Assoc. Dir., Student Development Ctr Yes, I feel that the administration takes student concerns into account and actively solicits these opinions. SGA is a primary vehicle through which these opinions are sought. I think through university committees and SGA committees students have had input into fees, facility designs and campus safety to name a few." ——"m Tamuela Trivett Kevin Smith Hope Harvey Senior Senior Junior I personally feel that they do not take students' opinions into con­ sideration. They don't present students with the opportunity to voice their opinions. Maybe if they had offered students a choice, our parking fees for this year and the years to come would not pay for a parking deck that we as current students will never see." No, I don't think that they take students' concerns into account. The Dougherty House and parking are clear examples of just how aloof the administration is from students. SGA is crucial to student participation in government but I don't think that they take controversial stands in deal­ ing with the university in regard to student concerns."

Did I get the job because 1 was the stereotypical allAmerican sixteen-year-old nerd? After all, that was what the store looked" like it needed. It was a gourmet grocery store that catered to the upper and middle classes of my generic North Carolina factory town. As you listened to classical music while perusing the aisles, the atmosphere was nicely accented by the quintessential "geek" dusting the forest green shelves. It made the peo­ ple view the store as a haven against the harsh world. Now, when I go back to see old friends, I am viewed as an "undesirable." Although my appearance has changed since that time, I am still the same person who if given a chance can converse on the same subjects, and if the situation calls for it can still be just as polite and helpful to any customer in need. I am not there to spray-paint anarchy symbols on the coffee-grinders, but only to visit and shop. Why do these hidden assumptions come into people's minds based upon one's appearace? Obviously, the phrase, "All men are created equal" means, in our society, just that. Everyone is equal at birth because ^ (AR a&s! TACeA Cm&MPOAJjL umstoP/ they generally look the same. However, as they grow, and begin to resemble each other less and less, they are drawn more and more to those that are more similar in appearance to them. Thus, associating a certain "look" of a person to that which he has been told since birth about the negative aspects of "that type," and from a child's first contact with other children from different social backgrounds, he is taught to judge others by their appearance.

The class of 1989 will be the first graduating class to benefit from ASU's new Senior Programs sponsored by the Office of Alumni Affairs. Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs Patrick Henderson, is in charge of Senior Programs and is continuing the service which was started last spring but never utilized by Seniors. ' 'The whole program is based around try­ ing to establish unity in the senior class, establishing pride, and helping to bridge the gap between being a senior and being out of school in the work place," Henderson said. „ One of the benefits offered by Senior I tograriis is the availability of a business card at a cost of ten dollars for one hundred cards. The cards are typeset with ASU's new logo , the students name, and area of major. "I feel like the class of '89 is going to be a great class, and we're going to start a tradi­ tion that hopefully other schools will begin to look at. It takes a lot of hard work but this year is going to lay the foundation for things to come," Henderson added. 'First impressions are so important, and when you hand someone a card that's been typeset and printed they're going to be im­ pressed," he added. Seniors are encouraged to join a Senior ^ Committee which presently has ten members. "We're in the process of putting together a group right now called the Senior Com­ mittee which is going to call seniors on the telephone and get their input about what they would like to see included in Senior Programs. We want to give seniors a chance to have input on things that are important to them, and 1989 will be the class that will start that tradition," Henderson said. I he Senior Committee will survey the 2,200 seniors at ASU to get input and to in­ form seniors of the new Senior Programs. "If there are seniors out there who want to help on the Senior Committee they are more than ""vumciu oca part of tne comwelcome to be a part or the com­ mittee. The only requirement is that you're a senior and you want to help," Henderson added. Other schools such as UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State have existing senior programs which have been perceived as very suc­ cessful. It s so important to have a Senior Pro­ gram. You've got to identify and really pro­ mote senior spirit," Henderson said. "I feel like the class of '89 is going to be a great class, and we're going to start a tradi­ tion that hopefully other schools will begin to look at. It takes a lot of hard work but this year is going to play the foundation for a things to come," Henderson added. Greeks pleased with outcome of fall rush By TOM McBRAYER Appalachian Staff Writer The fall rush season for ASU fraternities and sororities has ended with many new rushees receiving bids. Rush is a designated time in which per­ sons interested in Greek life may meet dif­ ferent fraternities and sororities to see if the Greek system is for them. Also, the pros­ pective rushee can see how each Greek organization is run and decide which organization they wish to join. Fraternities hold a two-week rush period at the beginning of each semester. Male students who are interested in rushing a fraternity have the choice of attending dif­ ferent parties sponsored by the individual fraternities. After the two-week rush period, if they show interest in a particular fraternity and the fraternity sees potential in the prospec­ "Each girl knew what she was getting tive rushee, then a bid is extended inviting into and what was involved before she the person to become a member of the pledged," Ance said. fraternity.

Feeling that somehow this inter­ view should tie into that fact, 1 inquired about his playing. When asked about what influences he has, Rob quickly quips, "My parents" and then laughs, explaining that in all honesty, he really can't say. Anyone who has ever seen the band live will know that it's his throbbing bass lines and pulsating rhythms (which borrow from funk, reggae and fusion) that helps give the band it's uniquely-unclassifyable edge. "Mike Watt (Firehose) would be proud of me," he says. Rob was unhappily playing violin in his high school orchestra when the need for a bassist arose. He switched to the large upright instrument and soon gave up his lunch hour in order to take private lessons. Within two years he won all-county and all-state awards for his skill and mastery of the bass. He then switched to the electric bass and, after arriving at ASU, played with several bands including the Scooby-Doos and the Quarter 'Til Blues Band (along with current bandmate Ron Keever) before forming No Reason Why. "Enough of music!" he suddenly retorts. "They (No Reason Why) don't know it yet but after Friday I'm quitting the band. I'm starting another band called the Legion of Funk." Oh really? I inquire about the rest of the line-up. "Will Marley (The Outer Limits) will be funkin' the vibes on guitar and.. . I'm putting you up for hardcore 24-hours a day lessons in drum­ ming; all at my expense of course but you don't know it yet. That's you, Mr. McLendon," he cries out while pointing a finger in my direction. This is all news to me so I ask what will happen to No Reason Why. "They'll end up skid row bums!" hews of No Reason Why is an innovative guy with interesting musical ideas lauKhterPS "l5of0rser nbr?kinIg int0 g • o, seriously, I enjoy being in the band. It takes my mind off of my everday worries. It's a stress outlet. We're coming out with newer funkier tunes. There's going to be a different sound to the band... because I just put new strings on my bass!" Despite how dedicated Rob is to music, his playing is just one of his many hobbies. He is an avid sailboarder and even built his own surfboard. "I am a true lover of the ocean," he says' "my Sign is the space where the sky meets the waters. That's where I am most content. He also is rarely without his bicycle (which he rides practically everywhere and over practically everything) and he enjoys rock climbing. When the subject of romance is brought up, he sits up and slowly begins to piece together the proper words for describing his current interest. There s this one chick who seems uc lcdl|y Mnart. to be really smart. i like smart I women. She's got these gorgeous sort ot hazy blue eyes and she's got this really neat dark hair which both add up to complement her dazzling figure," he says. In trying to summarize Rob Mathews up as a person, I'm going to use a statement he wrote about himself that I found one day when using his telephone; "P, Rob Mathews, hereby declare myself the next cool dude on the block with lots of guardian angels and trickery." Dan Duncan new coordinator at the Quinn Center By DARRYL N. PARKER JR. Appalachian Slaff Writer One of the most glorious moments in Duncan's career came in March of 1987. Dr. Frank Sleek, head of sports physiology at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, called Duncan to tell him he had been selected out of 200 applicants from colleges across the nation as the intern strength and conditioning coor­ dinator for the Olympic Training Center. Provided with housing and meals, his paid internship consisted of an intense one-on-one training of some of the finest athletes in the world. While he was there, Duncan watch­ ed for the athletes weaknesses and developed them through the use of muscle fitness. It was this concen­ trated individual attention that helped many athletes achieve their potential and excel. Duncan felt the need for a full-time coordinator so he sent a pro­ posal through the US Olympic Com­ mittee. After going through the direc­ tors of sports science, sports medicine Dan Duncan, the new coordinator of Fitness and Facilities, is leaping on­ to the student fitness scene with a springboard of experience and en­ thusiasm. Duncan grew up in Princeton Junc­ tion, New Jersey, where he avidly par­ ticipated in sports. In high school he was involved in boxing, karate, shot put, wrestling and football for which he was offered several scholarships. The 65 percent bracket, the He received his Bachelor of Science at ilutophobics, is the one with which e will be primarily concerned.

His idea to have some­ one to coordinate all instructors for a more complete and consistent fitness program lives on in his new position here at ASU. As the coordinator of fitness and facilities, Duncan is head of opera­ tions at the Quinn Center and Broome-Kirk Gymnasium. He wants to develop an articulate athletic pro­ gram designed for clientele of these centers. He makes sure the content, benefits and most of all safety of the exercising is kept at his standards of excellence. Duncan keeps fitness in­ formation current and the recreation safe. "Safety is the biggest concern in dealing with the program and the stu­ dent body," Duncan said. Duncan commented on his opinion of the fitness-seeking society we are in today. "When I started 15 J years ago, 1 I ° ^**4^4 didn't think it would end up like this. (Fitness) wasn't popular then." Jog­ ging clothes, running shoes and athletic equipment were inexpensive and almost unique—exactly opposite today. "The fitness movement is with us to stay," Duncan said. "But it's becoming more specialized. It's not only important to have a degree based education but also certification," he added. He is looking forward to cer­ tification in Exercise Science to ac­ company his being certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. The future at the Quinn Center will involve a number of seminars that Duncan hopes will better inform the public of good work-out habits. "I hope to have a lot of seminars," Duncan said. Promoting various aspects of aerobic instruction, proper freeweight training, getting the most out ui a nautilus nowerliffinp of d nauiiius workout, powerlifting powenitting techniques and competition in powerlifting." One particular plan is a class on Olympic weightlifting techniques. Recently, Duncan has been talking to Dr. Michael Stone, an exercise science teacher at the Health Educa­ tion, Physical Education and Leisure Studies (HEPELS) Department about bringing an Olympic weightlifting meet to the campus. Duncan is also co-authoring a book with the US Judo team-coach. The book, entitled The Judo Training Manual: A Scientific Approach to Weight Training and Conditioning, will tentatively be out by January. Duncan couldn't have been placed in a better position. Coordinator of fitness and facilities, he has a strong foundation on which to build an outstanding fitness program for the students of ASU. , The • future only v/mj promises success and a fit promises success and a fit campus campus.

These services are not open just to people who have been told by a pro­ fessor that they should seek a tutor. "The students need to be aware that the LAP is here to help everyone improve his grades, whether it be from an F to a D or from a B to an A," LAP staff member Cathia Tribby said. LAP also offers four specialty pro­ grams to students. These programs are the Learning Disability program, the Upward Bound program, the Special Services program, and Academic Services for StudentAthletes. The Learning Disability program provides learning disabled students with tutoring, counseling, and alter­ native methods of learning. The Up­ ward Bound program offers area high school students services, including academic skills development, cultural enrichment and activities to improve self-esteem. The Special Services pro­ gram is designed to help underprepared freshmen adjust to college through tutoring, counseling and several individualized courses. "One of our goals is to help the freshmen make a successful transition to college and another is to help the students to grow academically and personally," Director of LAP Nancy Spann said. Finally, the Academic Services for Student-Athletes provides athletes with career and per­ sonal counseling, academic advising and study hall time. These special stu­ dent programs have been very effec­ tive in the past. "We've been very successful over the years in helping our students to achieve their education goals. Many students from our special programs have graudated from ASU with some going on to graduate school," Spann said. Each year over s:x hundred students are assisted by student tutors. These tutors must be upperclassmen with at least a B average in the subject they are tutoring. There are approximately seven hundred fifty students involved in the special pro­ grams offered by the LAP each year. v This year there are about sixty-five peer advisors/counselors who work with freshmen students. Peer counselors must be upperclassmen with a good academic standing, act as good role models, and enjoy helping students. Peer counselors receive one hour credit per semester for working with the Learn­ ing Assistance Program. If you are interested in becoming a tutor or peer counselor or if you need some extra help in some of your classes go by LAP. 1 feel that as students become aware of various academic support services, such as tutoring, supplemen­ tal instruction, and skill-building workshops held in the residence halls, they should investigate these resources as possible opportunities to help them attain their academic and personal goals," Tribby added. �THE APPAL ACHI1 V tot an evening of good food, dar^T and foot stompin' live music, come jj WC'W/K For an evening of good food, dancing and foot stompin' live music, come to TRIVIA SHADRACK'S * He was called the "James Dean" of rock. 24 HOUR TOWIIMG * I rom Oklahoma, he teamed-up with Jerry i apehart and found success.

Thp Appalachian Sports Editor Appalachian Spons Edi.or "d ^ the Fami'y Day football The Mountaineers won the coin toss and elected to defer to the second half. Bjorn Nittmo's opening kick-off resulted in excellent field position for the Apps as they attempted an on-side kick, hoping to surprise GardnerWebb.

Woods feels that the Mountaineer success so far in this season is due to good effort and limited injuries. We are right where we wanted to be this point in the season," he said. "We are definitely not short on effort and we have survived the injuries thus far this season." ASU took over after the missed at­ tempt about half way through the quarter and scored on a 44-yard field goal by Nittmo.

Lady Apps compete in UNCC tournament By MARIE MESARO Appalachian Slaff Writer Last weekend the Appalachian State Volleyball Team participated in the UNC-Charlotte Volleyball Tour­ nament. Even though ASU lost three of their matches, they gained some useful experience because many of the ASU starters have been plagued by in­ juries. On Saturday, ASU played Winthrop losing 11-15, 12-15 and 3-15. ASU came out powerful to begin play, but with the injuries to many players, they were unable to overcome the loss. In the second game ASU played UNC-Charlotte, losing 12 15, 9-15 and 14-16. The third match did not prove to be a success either. ASU was defeated by UNC-Wilmington 10-15, 15-7, 3-15 and 6-15. UNC-Wilmington had previously beaten ASU in the Chapel Hill Tournament. During these tournament games, the volleyball team was forced to play without the crucial skill of some of its starters due to various injuries. "The absence of Tammy Craig took a great toll on the team," Head Coach Traci Blakenship said. Craig received a stress fracture in her lower left leg. She is first in the conference with 12 service aces and second in the conference with 70 out of an attempted 198 kills. "Kim Warren's leadership ability has continued to carry the team well," Blakenship said. Kim Warren and Holly Ryerse have been limited in their playing time because ol chronic knee injuries. Their experience and skill have been missed greatly during tournament play. Despite the various injuries receiv­ ed during the tournament some of the freshmen got some playing ex­ perience. "The volleyball team did reach their weekend goal by providing ex­ perience for the future players," Blakenship said. Players like Gail Berenskinski and Val Peterson continue to improve both offensively and defensively and are always ready to work hard. "Newcomers Ashley Miller, Bran­ dy Gray, Sabrina Hill, and JoAnne Myers have provided the team with hard play and good attitudes," Blakenship said. ASU beat Coastal Carolina 15-13, 12-15, 14-16, 17-15 and 15-13 in a tough five-set match. Blakenship at­ tributed much of their success to the freshmen's maturity. "The freshmen handled the pressure well" Blakenship said. The setters, Chris Zubae and JoAnne Myers both played excellent. Zubae is first in the conference for digs with 78. Myers has very few er­ rors with a .611 hitting percentage. The problem of serving has con­ tinued to bother ASU. They have been serving inconsistently, and prac­ tices last week were devoted mainly to improving the consistency of serves. �THE APPALACHIAN THE APPALACHIAN Tuesday and nu ,. exception of The a ZT"""" of scheduled holidays and breaks. ^ holidays breaks. e Appalachian welcome* FHDi iil« -n.

J Because of the Consent Decree, I ate schools were mandated by the I legislature to enroll more minoriJs| udents," Harry Williams of Adions Recruitment said, ie Consent Decree calls for all 16 Hersities in the North Carolina Jti m to have 5.1 percent of their student enrollment filled by irity students. The decree states the predominately black schools tfie university system-Fayetteville N.C. Central, Winston-Salem State, N.C. A&T and Elizabeth City State must increase their white enroll­ ment, while the predominately white schools in the system must increase their black enrollment. "We've made more progress than any others among the white schools. In 1982, ASU enrolled 280 blacks, at present we have 493 blacks enrolled. That's a 105 percent increase. We have the highest percentage of minori­ ty students among the white schools. Right now we're sitting at 4.7 percent," Williams added. This percentage is only .4 percent away from the requested amount of minori­ ty students in the Consent Decree. ASU is very proud of their work in minority recruitment. "We're in a remote area. That makes it more dif­ ficult to attract students, but Ap­ palachian has so much to offer. We feel that potential students are getting that message," Williams said. Increased minority enrollment will in no way affect the academic stan­ dards at ASU. Also, the added minority students are hoped to bring a wider diversity of students to the cam­ puses of all schools in the UNC system. The new recruitment program means not only more minority students, but added minority faculty as well. Dr. David Phoenix, assistant to the Vice-Chancellor for faculty development, is in charge of this special assignment, now in the plan­ ning stages. "The university is developing plans and processes in an attempt to attract more women and minority faculty. For our area, minority usually means blacks. It has always been a desire of the academic units to have more minority faculty," Phoenix said. ASU hopes to attract black PhDs and other well-qualified individuals to ASU and then sell the various academic departments on the propos­ ed minority faculty. "One way to attract minority facul­ ty to ASU is to work with the historically black universities; by in­ viting some of their faculty to visit ASU and have some of our faculty visit their schools in exchange. ASU has been involved in this in the past. It's not only faculty exchange, it's primarily to hire," Phoenix said. "The university is under-represent­ ed in women faculty, though this has improved a little this year with some new positions filled by women. The situation of women faculty, though, is not as bad as the minority faculty problem," Phoenix added. The difficulty in finding black faculty stems from the deficiency in numbers of black faculty available. Presently, there is a decrease in the number of blacks earning doctorates. Although many blacks enter graduate schooling for professional careers to become doctors or lawyers, there is a decrease in the number of blacks entering graduate school for academic careers, earning PhDs or MBAs. In addition the number of blacks at the high school level is on the decline, making the number of black college students less than in the past. "On every educational level there's a problem, so the 'pipeline' is not as full as it once was," Phoenix said. The Consent Decree will aid minority students wishing to gain en­ trance into a school in the UNC system, with ASU's new recruitment program aiding them even more in deciding to attend ASU. Finding suf­ ficient numbers of women and minority faculty for ASU will be a greater challenge for the university, with a balance of women faculty at ASU being slightly easier to realize in the near future. Despite difficulties in attracting minority faculty, Phoenix notes that increasing minority student enroll­ ment and faculty "has always been an established mission at the university." bookstore's markup results in greater student expense By J SHAVER Appalachian Staff Writer ASU business professor feels t the ASU Bookstore is overcharg- ir the textbook he wrote. Jonomics Professor Dr. Larry i wrote A Basic ModeI of the omy for use in his classes, he cost of the book, I was told, *7," Ellis said. "Now, I think he price that they're charging in >ookstore is $9 and thirty some ly my calculations that turns out 'e more than a 20 percent |up, ' Ellis said. "They may have sonable explanation about that, ise I haven't talked to them." I shouldn't be misunderstood; fookstore told me that they had yp ,of 25 Percent on the book, that s okay; I have no problem 'that," Ellis said, fhey need to mark it up to cover r<costs," he said. "But, if you jre the mark-up using the hematics that I learned in school, a y turns out to be more than ercent." Smith, manager of the roack department of the ASU ore, said that the markup on a "!S tlg"'ed not by multiplying the y , '25 and adding the two • ' but by dividing the cost by .75. The result, rounded to the nearest five cents, yields the $9.35 figure the bookstore charges. Smith said that the bookstore sells quite a few faculty-written books. "We've got 32," she said. "To me, that's not a twenty five percent markup," Ellis said. The book began as a series of hand­ outs. "I decided to write it on my own," he said. "It started up where I'd write a chapter and have it typed and I'd copy it and hand it out to the students. It got to be very timeconsuming and it got to be expensive to the department to do that," he said. "About half to maybe a little bit more than half are published on cam­ pus so that the faculty member gets nothing out of it," she added. Some faculty-written books are distributed through regular publishers and pay royalties to the author. Books published on campus are usually done through Faculty Development, A.V. Services, or departmental arrangement with a local printer. "So I eventually got together with the faculty development center," Ellis said. The center helped Ellis put the material together in the form of a mini-textbook. Smith said that price is dependent on a number of factors. "The ones that are done on campus are the lowest price," she said. The book, a text that Ellis and another professor use in their Prin­ ciples of Economics courses, was par­ tially written over the summer. Ellis was compensated for the time he spent putting the material into book form. "I felt there was a need for it. I wasn't completely satisfied with the commercial texts that are on the market and the way that they presented certain aspects of the material," Ellis said. "It depends on the number ot pages in the material, it depends on how many total copies there are, and it also depends on the time limit within which it is required," Smith said. "If it's a rush job, the guy at the print shop is going to charge you more," Smith added. There's a lot that goes in it, but most of the time the hometown, either on-campus or in the town, book is cheaper," Smith said. She said that regular books tend to cost at least $10 more. mate appoints cabinet ®y ANGIE CHESTNUT professors, students can choose one whose teaching methods match their learning methods.

The motion to accept Seat's and Branner's nominations were objected to and went into debate. Seat is currently serving as a Senator. Some members of Senate questioned his integrity.

Student Government President Gary Greene said the program is working well this year and has tripled the number of calls over last year. He attributes this increase to the publicity that Mountaineer Escort has received. He also stated that there are more freshmen participating than ever before. Director of Escort Services David HiHer is responsible for this increased publicity. He made sure the services were available the first day of class as opposed to six weeks after classes have started as in previous years. This was accomplished with the help of past Escort Director Len Caps. Caps assisted Hiller prior to the school year so the services would be available immediately. "The service is not a part of ASU security. The escorts and receptionists are volunteers who spend about one day a week each on a two and one half hour shift." David Hiller Director of Escort Sprvirrc Publicity has included an announcement at the first student senate meeting and at freshman orien­ tation. There have also been newspaper ads and a listing in the yellow pages. "The service is not a part of ASU security. The escorts and receptionists are volunteers who spend about one day a week each on a two and one half hour shift," Hiller said. He pointed out that not only has there been an increase in calls (5"ver last year, but also there has been an increase in the number of volunteers. "More freshmen have volunteered than ever before," he said. According to Hiller, volunteers met earlier this year and voted not to get paid so the budget instead could be spent in the purchase of needed equipment such as umbrellas, walkietalkies and flashlights. The Mountaineer Escort Program's operating hours are Sunday through Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m to 12:15 a.m. In addition to this program the Escort Service will be involved with another project. Hiller is working with Community Affairs Chairman Teresa White on providing a "Tipsy Taxi" service which would make use of a van to provide rides for students who have had too much to drink �.... . - - 7 HE APPALACHIAN, THURSDAY.

El Cetera Editor No Reason Why is one of the most popular and promising of all the Boone bands. If you remember their show at the Pub earlier this year you'll agree with me. Their sound is original and hard to pin down, and much of its distinctiveness lies in the reverbal, effect-laden guitar of Chris Cybulski. Chris has been around Boone music a long time, and we spoke about his band and the changes that have taken place and need to take place in Boone's ever-expanding band scene. m HELt L By J.

If 1 ever meet her, I want ^®to be impressed. A senior from Charlotte, Chris, hke all the members of No Reason Why, has had formal music training. "I played in a jazz band in high school," Chris said, "but I've pretty much thrown my jazz out the win­ dow. I know all my augmented seventh and major-ninth chords. I just don't use them." Chris helped form his first band when he was a freshmen. Called See­ ing Fields, the group played covers of guitarbased bands such as X and REM. According to Chris, there wasn't any future in this style of play­ ing. "It got to where, when people spoke to us, if REM wasn't in the first sentence, then it was coming in the next." The members of Seeing Fields can still be found playing around ASU, in the bands Burning Giraffe, Life After Lunch and The Outer Limits. No Reason Why has been together for less than nine months, yet they've made good use of their time. They've had to lay off a bit. Chris says they have about 20 originals, five of which can be found on a demo tape they recorded with the help of Lee Daniels. It took the band about 30 hours to record the five cuts, due to constant experimentation and a little goofing off. The result is overwhelming. No Reason Why is probably the most easily-recognizable and potentially ex­ citing band I've heard come out of this area. Most of the tunes developed from an original idea by bassist Rob Mathews. Then, Chris and drummer Ron Keever attempt to "lock in". Chris says that the band's songwriting is "pretty much an equal effort. Everybody has their own say. We're like a little democracy." Lyrics are provided by singer Wendy Sykes, and the song is complete. The sound that develops from No Reason Why's style is enigmatic. ^. £w P By KERRY M. PILKEY . .

Chris says the Boone music scene is "getting better", but we both agreed that it has a long way to go. No one seems to want to book a band as heavy as No Reason Why. However, you can catch them on Friday, September 30 at the Student Union Pub with now Charlotte-based Discord. At Sollecito's on Wednes­ day, October 12, No Reason Why teams up with Fear and Loathing, in a show that promises some throbbing ears for Thursday morning classes.

That was the moment I knew a decision had to be made. The realization that I would not be near a hospital within four hours was horrifying, but what I knew I had to do next was even harder to grasp. I unwrapped my snake bite kit and read the directions. With my pocket knife I slit my jeans down the front and for the first time looked at the quickly swelling area with two distinct holes. After preparing the wound and tying a tourniquet around the upper calf I took the razor in hand and stared at it, taking three long deep breaths. Cutting slowly I made an incision one quarter of an inch deep and equally as long into the flesh of my shin. I used a suction device to extract the venom from each of the two holes. A good deal of blood was lost through this procedure making it impossible to judge my efficiency in extracting the venom. After cleaning the wound and wrapping it in gauze I began my as­ cent from the gorge.

So far this year, the number of meals served in the cafeteria has dropped an average of 1,000-1,400 per day. A large part of the decrease is during dinner hours. Most of the blame rests on the new Food Court. "We anticipated that the Food Court would draw away some people Irom the cafeteria. Food Services Director Ron Dubberlv said. "Actually it drew a lot more people than projected." The numbers during breakfast hours have basically stayed the same, the cafeteria is still the only place that serves breakfast.

Less students have been eating at the cafeteria i»Td then on . ah. ?6, yCarS aneH ^ ,°Ub'e (gned to hold. No Reason Why, wilh guitarist Chrfi Cybulski, returns to the Pub on Friday, September 30. Where did everybody go? The cafeteria is much quieter these days, thanks to a new Food Service curiosity. The old place looks huge, now it is much more silent and clean than before. But the staff re mains optimistic, h's three meals a day, as usual, and the great periodical special meals. At the mo­ ment it s being upstaged, but when you get tired of chicken and hamburgers, give the cafeteria a try. They're open for breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. for lunch from 10:35 to 2 p.m.; and for dinner from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The cafeteria is also looking for student help. Apply at the food services office downstairs, during regular business hours. Dubberly did not completely blame the food Court. He explained that some of the decrease is due to the season. "During the warmer part of the semester, the students are usually outdoors more and they eat out more." Dubberly added, "Quite a few of I he students also eat dinner later in the evenings during this time of the year." The cafeteria closes at 6:30 p.m., which doesn't allow for a very late supper. When asked how this decrease in people at the cafeteria would affect its business, Dubberly replied, "We've already taken temporary moves (to offset the decline)," Dubberly replied, "by moving some of the staff down to the Food Court in order to decrease the number of excess staff in the cafeteria as well as to help handle the backlog of students in the Food Court. The staff will be moved back as the crowd declines in the Food Court and business steadies in both places." Dubberly also added that plans are being made to revamp the cafeteria's menu soon. He is confident this will not only bring more people back to the cafeteria, but will cause a net increase in business for the Food Ser­ vices as a whole. They are attempting to make the menu more appealing to the people's taste. "One idea we have," Dubberly said, is to standardize some items on the menu by taking one or two of the students favorite dishes and making them everyday items, only varying the rest of the selection day to day." This way students would at least be able to expect something regular on the menu instead of total potluck. Dubberly also mentioned toying with the idea of a Mexican bar and pasta bar. Dubberly did add. however, that he does not want to make any changes that will not go over with the students. He wants to hear the students' input on ideas for renovating the menu in order to know what will best attract the students. If students like these menu ideas, or if they have other suggestions for the menu, Dubberly welcomes and encourages any suggestions. He invites them to contact him in person or by letter at the Food Services office in Welborn Hall. �THE APPALACHIAN.

They harmonize, yet, they rap, reggae and rock. All the members of the group sing which adds pizzazz and complexity to their rhythm. Six guys form Fishbone as we know it. They were inspired by George Clinton, Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln and God. John Norwood Fisher ptays a mean bass and sings. Kendall Jones plays acoustic, bass and electric guitar and sings. Angelo Moore (a.k.a. The Missing Link) blows the sax and sings Walter A. Kibbe II (a.k.a. Dog King of Freaks) does up the three valve brass and sings. Charlie Down plays a raging trombone, keyboards and sings. Fish beats on the drums and percussion. This album was produced by David Kahne. It is not clean, and it doesn't matter because Fishbone wouldn't let that happen. Fishbone is the frat that never went to school; they are the boys that chased the girls just to tease them; they are the best friends anyone could have. I saw them twice in the last year at those dives that house the punks and wild ones of the 1980s. If you love to dance, stage dive, jam, rasta, rap or just have a fun-tastic time, I recom­ mend you see the Bone. They keep the crowd dancing for hours and enter­ tain the most critical people who inhabit this earth.

The electric guitar riff has An Eddie Van Halen sound, a cool, smooth one. "Ma and Pa" is th« second tune. It s a story about Angelo's parents breaking up and heading straight for divorce.

Now, this doesn't mean that Im­ aginos is the greatest BOC album ever. What it does mean is that BOC has produced a lot of good, almost great albums over the years, and Im­ aginos deserves a rating equal to that of BOC's best albums to date. When I first bought a copy of7waginos, in. early August, I couldn't help but notice the album looked like something out of the 1970s. The covet was very mystical looking and the names of the songs suggested an odd theme. Upon opening the album I discovered that Imaginos was in fact a concept album. There was a complete storyline spelled out in the liner notes and all the songs related to this story in some way. This would not have seemed strange if Imaginos had been an album released in the 70s, but 1 Of course there is some music in­ cluded with the album along with all the writing. There are two singles (Astronomy, Del Rio's song), as well as a song to satisfy metalheads (I Am the One You Warned Me of). But there isn't much else to be found on Imaginos which is ordinary. Since the songs are all based on a central idea, the Imaginos theme is a common thread running through almost all the remaining songs, some of which are examples of BOC at its best (In the Presence of Another World, Magna of Illusion.) There is even a song at­ tempting to explain the group's bizarre name (Blue Oysler Cult.) On the other hand, Imaginos does have its problems. Some songs are just not up to par (Imaginos, Les Invisables). Further, BOC tends to be a little too melodramatic on much of Imaginos. in '"tele to., f a aq. on. be'ng dovvS iUllSfr Magna of ^ are so far-fe, u> c ,he* sound n,usi music. poim is ignore an I with /„," ."i Listen instead i f!"11 °f the album ?'hf tures BOC ca'n 111 testing story and consider ), . 3 into an albui Bu( wro»g However buy Imag tastes.

By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports Editor It is September 1988, and the Summer Olympics have finally begun. After much anticipation and many controversies, the games are treating the American athletes quite well. The stand-out athlete thus far is Greg Louganis, the 28-year old from California who has been coin­ ed the greatest diver in history. Louganis, who, of course, was predicted to win both the threemeter springboard and the 10-meter platform, has not let American viewers down after an unusual com­ petition on Monday. Louganis captured the gold on Monday night in the springboard :ompetition. Of course, you say, That's good, but he was supposed :o win. The victory was a painful one though. In the ninth round of preliminaries, Louganis banged his head on the springboard. Aside from the fact that the dive was icored low, he had to have four ititches in the back of his head. Louganis did not skip a round, though, and when his time came,' he| lerformed an almost flawless dive, le received scores ranging from 8 5 to 9.5. Louganis represents the ideal imerican. Aside from good looks ind a diving ability that surpasses :verybody in the world, he has had rough life. An adopted child, he was ridicul:d by his classmates in school lecause of his dark skin. In addi­ tion, he did poorly in school >ecause of a condition he learned ibout later, dyslexia. When he finally outgrew the ridicule and reading disability, -ouganis' problems did not end. To | ivercome his social problems, he lurned to alcohol and smoked igarettes regularly.

Anderson also wrestled at Lower Richland High School in Columbia, South Carolina where he was S.C. State Champion. Appalachian Slaff Wriler Out of the 9,600 athletes competing in the 24th Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea this week, two are former ASU students. Dale Oliver, who was ranked number one going into the Olympic trials, and Ike Anderson, who was ranked fourth going into the trials, are both former Appalachian State wrestlers. Oliver lost in the final round of the Olympic trials, thus throwing him into an alternate position on the U.S. Olympic wrestling team. Anderson had to wrestle seven times to earn a spot on the U.S. team, and he is now competing in Seoul, South Korea. Anderson's first televised match occurred Sunday when he easily defeated his China competitor. "Ike has always been very deter­ mined," Paul Mance said. Mance "Ike Anderson was first in the conference one year and second another year during his two years at Ap­ palachian." Paul Mance ASU wrestling coach coached both Anderson and Oliver at ASU. "Ike Anderson was first in the con­ ference one year and second another year during his two years at Appalachian," Mance said. Anderson wrestled at Broward Dale Oliver was second in the con­ ference both years he wrestled for ASU. Oliver previously wrestled for Monroe Junior College before com­ ing to ASU. The Mountaineer club football team improve n w ~ c o r d Dale has toured with the world team and has been ranked number one," Mance said. Oliver and Anderson both served as assistant coaches for the wrestling team after their graduation. "Ike (Anderson) became involved with the Olympics by wrestling with Dale (Oliver)," Mance said. Both wrestlers have lived in Albany, New York and have been wrestling with a free style club for about six years. "This is not the first time Dale and Ike have tried out for the Olympics," said Mance. "Both tried out in 1984 and didn't make the team," Mance said. In a match previous to the televised match Sunday, Anderson lost to the Russian's number one ranked wrestler. "Ike wrestled a great match," Mance said of Anderson's loss. "Ike has always been a person with tremendous desire," Mance added. Both Anderson and Oliver are Greco-Roman wrestlers. Anderson is competing in the 136.5 pound weight class. He had been predicted to win a medal in the Olympics, but after his loss to Russia, his standing is uncer­ tain. "Dale has toured with the world team and has been ranked number one." Paul Mance ASU wrestling coach Good Luck is expressed to Ander­ son and Oliver as they participate in competition and represent the USA. In addition, a thank-you goes out to both Anderson and Oliver for representing ASU as well. t n ?_0 f n r tt>a Apps'offense and defense crushes the Blue Devils B> SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports Editor S * :* •Amenfv°U8anis is defi™tely one of t.. as greatest success stories. an [He is and h?

Terry White sparked the Moun­ taineer scoring with an 80-yard punt return in the second quarter and set the pace for the team the rest of the afternoon. Chris Wallace helped pro­ pel the ASU offense as well with numerous carries, including a breakaway run that resulted in an Apps touchdown.

Brown feels that the team has very few weaknesses and that they should defeat opponents like Duke throughout the season. Our offensive line just blew away the Duke defense," he said. "The defense played great, too, and swarmed to the ball on every play. On offense, Chris Wallace ran all over their (Duke) defense. He almost single-handedly picked them apart."

A parking deck suggested by the university is indeed an excellent idea to begin alleviating parking pro­ blems on campus.

The College Democrats of ASU are work­ ing on voter registration for the local, state, and national elections set for November 8.

"Politically speaking, the most College Democrats Codangerous thing facing this country is President apathy," College Democrats Co-President Anthony Petty said. Local candidates spend a great deal of Some of the functions planned to increase time campaigning on campus because they registration are a political debate with the College Republicans, a voter registration drive sponsored by the College Democrats, College Republicans, the Student Govern­ ment Association, and the Political Science Club, and a Mock Vote is also planned for local, state, and national elections. "The College Democrats give any student a chance to get involved in North Carolina politics. Most students don't know about politics. I'd like for more students to know about political issues and the positions of the parties," Vice-President Mark Howard added. College Democrat-sponsored field trips to conventions and political functions give students Wiio are interested in a political career access to local, county, and state Democrats. The College Democrats officers elected for fall 1988 are: Anthony Petty and Lori Caudill, Co-Presidents; Mark Howard, Vice-President; Laura Campbell, Secretary; and Charles Walters, Treasurer. In 1986, the ASU Chapter of College Democrats was voted the best chapter in North Carolina. Meetings are held every Thursday evening at 6:30 in Room 103 Whitener Hall and are open to the public. In addition to voter registration, the club also sponsors debates, works with govern­ ment at all levels, and sets up talks with can­ didates on political issues. New York Times political colum­ nist Tom Wicker discussed the 1988 political campaign at ASU's convocation last Thursday in Far­ thing Auditorium. According to Wicker, the biggest change a new president can bring is the appoint­ ment of Supreme Court Justices. He said a president can make a difference in the Supreme Court, but not in Congress. Wicker is a native of Hamlet, North Carolina. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1948, he worked on newspapers in Lumberton, Winston-Salem, and Aberdeen. He served two years in the U.S. Navy and returned to the Winston-Salem Jounal to work as an editorial writer and city hall reporter. In 1960 he joined The Mew York Times and later served as a White House correspondent. In addition he covered Capitol Hill and national politics. Wicker holds many honorary degrees in­ cluding the University of Arizona's John Peter Zenger Award for freedom of the press and the North Carolina Award in Literature, in which he has also written eight novels. A Brown Bag Lunch will also be held today from noon to 1 pm in Room 110 of the Student Union, n ormation on entrance exams, financial aid, and a mission requirements will be discussed.

Medical school applications decrease (CPS)—Fewer students are applying to go on to med school, the American Medical Association (AMA) has reported. Medical school applications are at a tenyear low and medical school enrollments have dropped for the sixth straight year in part, the AMA said last week, because medicine has lost some of its glow as a career, because med school tuitions are too high and because there are simply fewer college-aged Americans around. But although fewer white males are pur­ suing careers in medicine, more women and minorities are. "Physicians are generally advising poten­ tial medical school applicants not to go to medical school," Vice dean of the Universi­ ty of Illinois College of Medicine Dr. Martern Kernis said. And potential applicants apparently are heeding their advice: almost 66,000 students were enrolled in the nation's 127 accredited medical schools in 1987-88, a decline of 400 from the previous year and 1,701 less than 1983-84. The number of applicants dropped from 40,000 in 1978-79 to 28,000 last year. The number of white male applicants has decreased 13 percent during the past five years. One reason for the decline is that the "Baby Boom" generation has passed through college age, leaving a smaller pool of applicants than in previous years. But that, says the AMA, is not the only reason. "Physicians are working right now in a changing environment with all sorts of federal regulations being imposed, changing reimbursement policies, huge increases in medical malpractice liability premiums, large increases in lawsuits, changes in the tax structure, et cetera," Kernis said. "Many physicians are arguing that these characteristics are mitigating against the practice of medicine," Kernis added. Eight out of ten medical students are in debt when they graduate, the AMA said in its Journal of the American Medical Association. Their average debt is larger than ever: $35,621 in 1987. Many potential applicants are discourag­ ed by assuming such a large debt, the AMA reported. But women and minorities appear to be less discouraged than white men. The number of first-year white female students increased slightly during the past five years, according to AMA, but the number of black female students jumped 32 percent. And the number of Asians and Pacific Islanders entering U.S. medical schools has more than doubled. "I think that's a social phenomenon," Kernis said. "We've had a lot of immigra­ tion among Pacific Islanders and Viet­ namese and Cambodians. They find in our society they can go to school like everyone else and fulfill whatever their career aspira­ tions are."

Well, folks, it's a good thing that Faye wanted something in blue because that's exactly what she got.

I have so many things that I would like to write about that I've divided them up and put them under sub-headings for your reading convenience. )W? mean I wrote about twelve coi­ ns last year and this still feels 1: the first one. fl suppose I'm simply enraptured .1 h all that's happening. 1 faybe I'm just sensitive... »id.. .uh, wait...

I wish not to dally too long on this because another writer went into more detail. Let me just say that it irks the hell out of me that we can go around spitting out new business buildings, gymnasiums, redesigning eating facilities and jacking up park­ ing permits and no one seems to care one way or another, but try to get a little culture around here and everyone's haywire over how much (if anything) it costs! Art is for your own personal enjoy­ ment! I don't like everything around campus either but I can appreciate the fact that someone out there came up with the idea for it and was able to ex­ ecute it. And, if you take a minute to look it over, you might realize something positive in it you hadn't noticed before. A good example of this would be the wooden structure in front of Wey Hall. At first, I scoffed this off as slabs of balsa that would break in the first big gust of wind. After passing it a couple of times, it began to intrigue me Somehow. Final­ ly it hit me, what it was about the structure that kept drawing me back for closer examinations. The whole thing looks like the final scene of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." or all the great reggae groups like Intity that keep popping up at Amadeus Whew! MUSIC Like wow! The local music scene is perhaps the most exciting it has been since I camp >--re way back in '84 (okay, go ahead; call me a relic). Boone is thriving with great sounds these days and several bands are even catching dates down the mountain.

And who can forget that Burning Giraffe got to open up for major recording artists The Mighty Lemon Drops this past summer? The Alligators afe still pack­ ing them in at the Klondike Cafe while fans flooded Sollecito's to see Stream of Consciousness several weeks ago and, more recently. Voce. Let's not forget the King Bees either ELVIS Perhaps the most popular question of the day is whether or not Elvis Presley is alive. Anxious followers of the big "E" can now even call an Elvis hotline to hear a recorded con­ versation made after the king's sup­ posed passing. A radio station somewhere in Louisiana plays only Presley records in its exclusive Elvis format. Sightings everywhere from Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Shelby, NC, are popping up like crazy and dedicated disciples say that the king is on his way back. They claim that he lost all of his 70's Vegas-fat and has gone through intense drug rehabilita­ tion. I tend to like to believe these rumors. I have pleasant pictures in my mind of an older Elvis sitting on a back porch somewhere secluded in Tennessee at dusk strumming away on a leather-covered acoustic guitar in the growing twilight. Or maybe even enjoying a friendly hand of gin rum­ my with David Crosby in a fluorescent-drenched sterile hospital room somewhere. Lisa Marie Presley supposedly takes over her father's entire estate in 1990. What she chooses to do with Graceland is anybody's guess but I hope that she cleans out all that trash being peddled in the streets in the name of the King of Rock-and-RolI. Goodbye ceramic white-clad Elvis clones manufactured in Korea. Good­ bye tacky black felt Elvis pillows fringed in gold and backed in red nylon. Goodbye stunningly lifelike Elvis collector's plates. And Elvis, if you are out there, keep on taking it easy. As a fan, I understand. Stay away from snacks high in fat, sugar, and sodium; instead choose crisp complex carbohydrates Healthy snacking can really help to make your day By SUSAN STAMPFP STAMPER I Special lo The Appalachian Food is used in our society to meet several needs such as celebration, rewards, and comfort. However, the major need for food is to supply our bodies with needed nutrients and calories to keep us functioning prop­ erly. Nutrients in food consist of pro­ tein, Carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. These are needed to build and repair body tissues. The calories in food is what gives us energy. Our energy level increases when we consume food because our blood glucose level rises. Energy levels decrease between meals when no food has been consumed. In order to keep energy and glucose levels at a steady level healthy snacking is recommend­ ed. Healthy snacks can and should be a pleasurable experience. Foods con- Appalachion Wellness Center taining complex carbohydrates (or starches), fiber, and bulk help keep the glucose level in the blood within a normal steady range providing long lasting energy. A general rule in choosing a nutritious snack is to choose foods which are high in com­ plex carbohydrates, are crisp, have good texture, and are attractive colors. Poor snack foods, containing sim­ ple carbohydrates such as candy, can raise the blood glucose level abnor­ mally high and then drop it abnormal­ ly low. This causes a quick high followed by a fatigued and lethargic state. Foods to be avoided are those high in fat, sugars, and sodium. These foods tend to be greasy, smooth and thick, or sweet and gooey. There may­ be nutrient content in these foods but they should be eaten in moderation because their calorie content is verv high. Snacking is not a forbidden sin, contrary to many beliefs, if forethought is taken. Healthy snacks are available and pleasing to the taste buds. Even those snacks that are greasy, smooth and thick, and sweet and gooey can be consumed occa­ sionally in moderation. So, go ahead and snack—but use common sense.

The Guidos are interesting. These people invade places like Geno's and Bash's. Guidos are typical male studs; they brag about "hooking" up a lot, and usually have at least four gold rings adorning their lingers.

ROTC cadets recognized for achievements By JAMES PEARSON Special lo The Appalachian The Department of Military Science of ASU recognized outstand­ ing senior cadets in the Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) program at an awards ceremony last Thursday. The students were singled out for their achievements in military performance while attending ROTC Advanced Camp at Fort Bragg for six weeks this past June and July. Ten cadets were designated as Distinguished Military Students, which is only given to seniors in the top third of their ROTC class each year. The cadets were Christopher Conner, David Cox, Stephen Harraghy, Danny Hassig, Gregory Jicha, Diana Johnson, Christopher Long, Christopher Mohan, James Mosteller Jr., and Michael Summer. Danny Hassig also won the Military Proficiency Award, which only the top five percent of the cadets at summer camp can earn. This award is based on overall leadership and military skills evaluation.

The contest was run in cold, rainy, and muddy conditions, but the ASU athletes faired well nonetheless. In the men's contest, ASU finished second out of a field of four teams. The Appalachian squad was defeated only by a very tough Clemson team. The final standings in the men's com­ petition were: Clemson-24, ASU-46 Florida State-57, and Western Carolina-107. The top finisher was senior Dean Duncan who finished fifth overall with a time of 26:14. Captain Pete Vandenberg, a junior, finished the course in a time of 26:24 for sixth place.

The results of the w omens' competition was Clemson-22, Florida State-51, ASU-59, Alabama-Birmingham-95, and Western Carolina did not have enough runners to score. Whitney Ball was the first Lady Mountaineer to cross the finish line, completing the course ninth overall with a time of 19:06. Finishing close behind Ball were Jennifer Bowers and Heidi Barger. Bowers placed 13th at 19:49 and Barger finished 14th at 20:19. Both of their times were per­ sonal bests. Traci Mclntyre captured 16th place with a time of 20:35 and Dee Anna Davis took 17th at 20:42. Mclntrye and Davis finished with their best times of the season thus far. Women's Head Coach John Weaver was pleased with the Apps' performances especially after the race was run in the rain. "I am pleased with the way they ran, he said. "All of them improved their times from the previous week. I think that the finish was great con­ sidering the course conditions," he said. The Appalachian teams' next com­ petition is October 1 in Boone as the teams host the Mountaineer Invita­ tional. The course will be run in Moses Cone Park.

Gettin' down and dirty with Club Football Lady Apps drop the season opener By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Siaff Writer Few people understand all that goes on during a field hockey match, but Head Coach Cathy Burleson hopes that her players have put together skill enough to win the Deep South. ASU does not play in the Southern Conference in field hockey, but rather in the Deep South Region. The Deep South consists of ASU, Davidson, High Point, Pfeiffer, Catawba, Salem and Wake Forest. Burleson feels that the region is a After lfrmlnnte very competitive one and believes that the season will be a good one. As far as the Deep South Region is concerned, all of the teams are pret­ ty even," she said. The Lady Mountaineer lost its first match of the year to Catawba College by a score of 2-1. Catawba scored first but the Apps scored midway through the second half to even the score at 1-1. With time running out, Catawba scored to go ahead by a point, and the ASU team could never rebound and score again. Burleson felt that the team had op­ portunities to even the score, but lack­ ed the strength to catch Catawba in the last minutes of the first half. "We had a lot of chances. We just got tired in the last part of the first half," she said. Jenny Harttiger scored the lone goal with an assist from Louann DeGrout. One of the problems that the team is facing this yeaf is lack of ex­ perience. "We are playing a young „ front line with two freshmen " in that conference," Burleson said. Burelson said.

I mean, who in the hell do they think they are? Kareem Abdul McGhandi or someone? Geeez!! I, for one, enjoy not thinking. It takes a lot of pressure off of one's self if one can let -one's mind be manipulated by others. I guess it, all started way back when with my parents, who still advise me about school. They, bless their hearts, tell me which classes I need to take and what major is the most profitable back home. I was really afraid that once I got out into the college world that, without my parent's guidance, I wouldn't be able to survive. I was LlFt N Ueuu , MATT ASU needs to be genei worried that some of the professors here at ASU might try and make me (gasp) think. Thank goodness, I was wrong about most of them. All they do is give me a bunch of silly 'lil facts that I scribble in my notebook (in between my doodles of Black Sabbath lyrics). However, there are some pro­ fessors here who are stuck in the six­ ties. They have the crazy notion that students should be "socially aware" and "learn" while in college. Hey, I am socially aware- I listen to Tracy Chapman! Speaking of great music, Top 40 is the best influence'for people like me. With so many cool tunes by keen artists like Hall & Oates, Miami Sound Machine, and Poison-all over the radio, 1 can sit back and not think of a single original thought for hours. After all, who needs to listen to that "progressive" music and risk think­ ing about the world around us or even about ourselves. What this university needs to do is to stop trying to be "original" and "progressive" and try to be more generic. Why do we need to be the college that stands out-let someone else do it! This road to mediocracy has already been paved by the removal of the Dougherty House this past sum­ mer. I will be the first to stand up and applaud (clap-clap-clap) Chancellor Thomas's brave and heroic move in tearing down a piece of ASU's history. That really took guts to sever ourselves from the university's ounders. Who needs a past, anyway?

It would ck you off wouldn't it? Well, before our home game vs. the iiadel last Saturday, a blatant exam- le of such a ridiculous .act took lace. On that day, we got to see the II i ame of Conrad Stadium changed to idd Brewer Stadium. This came on ie spur of the moment and a one N eek's notice to many students, when it was publicized in The Appalachian and on WASU. The opinion of most students who I have talked with has been one of resentment, or even disgust. There's an underlying principle for this opinion. It's not just the fact that we as students weren't involved, which has been the standard pro­ cedure for most of the recent changes on campus anyway. It's not just the fact that the stadium was named after a crooked politician, a convicted one at that, but the real issue here is one of respect. The dedication of a structure on campus is meant to be a tribute, and a lasting token of respect. What justification is there to take away that tribute once it has been given? It doesn't matter that Conrad Stadium had little to do with the athletics pro­ gram. Since when did athletics become the primary qualifier for respect? If that was the deciding factor, why did they name it after Conrad in the first place? Now the college is going to "make More on "Last Temptation "o the Editor: I, 1 am deeply disturbed by Martin fjl ,. demons' article that appeared in 'll ie September 8 issue of The Apalachian concerning the film The asl Temptation of Christ.

I have, however, ad the articles in the August 15 is ue of Time magazine. There is a jBipy of it in Belk Library and if I >u're interested in the film (no jl|l atter what "side" you're on), you §ould read it : In Time, Martin Scorsese, director ''lm, 's quoted as saying, "Ninety-nine percent of the people who are complaining have not seen the picture." Mr. demons fits right in, along with Jerry Falwell, who has called for a boycott against MCA, Universal Studios; parent company, and all MCA's products . Though his article was a little muddled and hard to understand, I was able to pick out a few reasons that Mr. demons was so offended by the film. He is wrong. In the aforementioned issue of Time, it is said that Jesus "hallucinates about the devil's final temptation: come down from the Cross, renounce your role as the Messiah, marry Mary Magdalene and live a long and hap­ py life. ' During the hallucination of what his life would be like if he gave in to temptation, he fantasizes about making love with Mary. Mary Magdalene, not his mother. Mr. demons seems to fear for the future of our children and for the souls ot those who might otherwise be saved. Just as the sinlessness of Jesus would mean nothing had he not been tempted, a person's faith means nothing unless it is challeng­ ed. And anyway, Scorsese is not try­ ing to change anyone's mind; as quoted in Time, it "is my (Scorsese's) way of trying to get closer to God." Mr. Clemons, if you had read even as little about the film as I have, you would know that the screenplay is based on a novel of the same title, written by a man named Nikos Kazantzakis. Kazantzakis was Greek Orthodox. Martin Scorsese is Catholic. One final note: If, Mr. Clemons, you want to use one freedom (the press) to comment on another (religion), you will be much more ef­ fective if you've done your homework. Even if you had attained more knowledge of The Last Temp­ tation of Christ, your sermonizing in the article would still have turned me off.

Any successful program, be it ac­ counting, economics, law or medicine is successful because of the intelligence and personal drive of the students, not the interpersonal rela­ tionships of the professors and students. In fact, I think Mr. Williams will find, if he reviews the successful business schools in the state, that those that are toughest are best. I hope that the career move chosen by Mr. Williams is personally satisfying and that those who choose to stay within the College of Business at Appalachian State University recognize that the educa­ tion they receive and the success they have after graduation largely depends upon their personal drive to accomplish their goals.

World Game leaves out most important player By RICK RAIRDON Appalachian Columnist The World Game was not out of this world. It was about this planet and the people who live on it. In Varsity Gym on September 10th about 350 people experienced some of the most sobering questions of our time. As one hundred individuals stood on a world map taped to the gym floor, they each represented fifty million people. I was in India and couldn't sit down in the country. This gave me an idea of the difference bet­ ween living in India and the United States. The people in the United States could lay down in the space they had. With a population of five billion the globe seems to be shrink­ ing. In just eleven years the population will increase by one billion. Right now, Mexico City is growing at the rate of two San Franciscos a year. How is all of this going to affect us here at home? I think that it has already started to challenge our When I lived in North Africa peo­ ple would follow me around begging for money. Some of these poor souls were old and some maimed or just destitute. When you live in Africa you face this type of thing as part of your daily life. Just last week I saw a report on television which spoke of the new moral dilemma that people are start­ ing to face. This new dilemma is the confronta­ tion of beggers and homeless with the rest of society in the big cities of America. I can tell you from my ex­ perience of living in Africa that ignor­ ing the situation will not make it go away. Maybe sitting in a BMW with the windows up and the stereo blaring can insulate us from reality for now but what about tomorrow? The world and its problems are closing in on us at an ever increasing pace. The World Game was an attempt to get us to stop and face reality. It was a challenge to the individual and to the collective to turn the tide that is press­ ing down the road to Armagedan. Evenwith the well meaningness of this endeavor there was a vital piece missing. It is true that the problems of this planet are complex. But the main problem is not the complexity of the environment or over population. It is not the scarcity of natural resources or the threat of war. It is not sickness or poverty. The main problem with this planet is in the heart of man. This one aspect stands in the way for any hope of peace and harmony that we want for the future. Can mankind change by himself? Man is faced with a nature that he can not change. We must remember that in the scope of the "World Game" there is no one outside of man to turn to. We delude ourselves in thinking that we can somehow recreate Eden. The World Game omits the idea that only a sovereign God can change man. It also misses this point. To have peace in the future God must rule that future. But it is understand­ able that this is left out, for we don't tolerate God's rule of Man in the Pre­ sent. Nice try World Game you left out the key PLAYER. A Few Favoriets From 27 'Hot' and Cold Subs 8" [ 1.

The traffic situation here at ASU is deplorable and is getting worse and worse every semester.

An effective administrator solves problems, regardless of whether or not he/she is responsible for the problem. Bush observes thenis a crisis, but proposes no solutions. Newsweek reported several months ago that by 1995, ten percent of all American wealth will be owned by private Japanese investors. Unless we act upon Dukakis's proposals, the U.S. will in all likelihood continue to decline both militarily and economically. Dukakis is a remarkably insightful man who will ensure a better tomorrow for all Americans by alleviating a problem that George Bush has neglected for eight years. Dukakis has also proposed that our allies become more self-sufficient militarily and less dependent upon the United States. Japan, for example, spends a relatively small percentage of its gross national product on defense, because the U.S. funnels millions into its defense budget annually. Not hav­ ing to allocate funds for defense 'enables the Japanese to use all available resources towards the development of its economy. Their economy thus flourishes, while ours falters. Spending bsession (tinned from Page 6 Congress merely presents the presi­ dent with the bill, which the president may then accept or reject. Without the president's signature, it's highly unlikely the bill will become a law. President Reagan had trememdous clout with Congress for six years, so in a sense he could have killed virtual­ ly any spending proposal he wanted to. Blaming Congress is, therefore, a poor argument.

My personal favorite was the $8 million spent building schools for Jewish North African emigres in France. The answer to the deficit problem is to keep down spending. The budget deficit decreased from $220 billion to $155 billion in 1987 due to an 11 per­ cent revenue growth and a disciplined growth in spending of merely three percent. If our economy continues to expand and we can hold spending growth down to three percent per year, the increasing revenue from our growing economy will knock $30 to $50 million per year. The Democrats want to raise taxes in order to increase the size and scope of the Federal Government, but to do so, could kill our chances of further reducing the deficit. -,^lr#anre\enin^ of 9ood food- dancing a n d foot stompin' live music, c o m e t o . .

So simple they can even make a confirmed non-typist comfortable at the keyboard. Call it human engineering if you like. Or call it ergonomics. Or call it plain old inspiration. What we came up with is a line of remarkable typewriters that are sophisticated without being complicated. In fact, they 're unlike any other typewriters you've ever seen before... or used before...or muttered at before. Take our new Smith Corona SD 700. (Lots of people are going to.) We call the SD 700 the Memory Typewriter. You just may call it the simplest typewriter in memory. It features a 7,000 character editable memory you can access with the mere flip of a switch.

Of course, should you want to Give your typing a screen test. make changes on paper, we've made that simpler than ever too. On the SD 700, as well as on every new Smith Corona typewriter, you'll find our new correcting cassette. It's easy-to-load and you can insert it in seconds. I here are no spools to unwind. No complicated threading. No tangles. So now correcting mistakes is as easy as making them. We've reformed the correction system.

"And then we've got to look out for the police officer and his safety, too." Tester said that the best way to insure a safe, worry-free party is to notify the police in advance so plans can be made. "People who are going to have par­ ties and are expecting a group should always call Lt. Curley at the police department," Tester said. "A lot of clubs do call him and tell him that they're going to have a party at a cer­ tain location and then ask him what they do to prevent having an unruly situation." "They need to go ahead and call him," Tester said. "It's going to take work." SGA Senate appoints three justices rejects two nominees By JON JIMISON Appalachian News Kditnr Two student justice nominees were ejected by SGA Senate Tuesday tight. All justice nominees present were creened by the Rules Committee, vliich is headed by Tim Morgan. Motions were made regarding lominees after they were questioned >y SGA. Objections were made on >oth motions and debate followed. The rejections were partially due to inswers the nominees gave during a ire-screening session. Both justice nominees felt an RA's estimony should be weighted more lecause of an RA's high position. )ne in particular felt that when a ophomore and a senior were charged vith the same offense, a senior's tatus should be considered. Chief Justice Andrew Heckel adressed Senate concerning one of the lominees. "I think that sometimes when peoile go for this position, I don't think hey understand that everything they eed to know is written in the Judicial Code and 1 don't think sometimes they go through and read it," Heckel said. "I don't think this applicant has read the entire Judicial Code and knows that simply because you have an authority figure in there that his testimony is most important," he added. "It (parliamentary pro­ cedure) benefits both senators and students where everybody can be heard." Jeff Crum Heckel felt this was not groundsmr rejection. Three students were accepted as student justices. Amy Ensey will serve as senior justice. Mario Hall and Deborah Osterhoudt will both serve as full freshmen justices. SGA has reopened justice nomina­ tions and nominations will be ac­ cepted through tomorrow at noon. Senate also passed a bill during the • meeting to set up dates for nomina­ tions and elections of the Homecom­ ing court. This year's nominations will open this Monday, September 19, and close on Thursday, September 22. Nomina­ tions for Homecoming Court are to be taken to SGA offices in Workman Hall, second floor. Homecoming elections will be held October 10 and 11 in the Student Union. SGA Staff Administrator Jeff Crum felt that the parliamentary pro­ cedure was followed well for the first meeting of the semester. Last year, Senate moved away from the parliamentary procedure and SGA Vice-President Frank "Moose" Callis wants to see it followed again. "It (parliamentary procedure) benefits both senators and students where everybody can be heard," Crum said. "In the four years I've been involv­ ed in Student Government, it (Tues day's meeting) was one of the smoothest meetings I've seen in quite some time," he added. SGA Senate held its first meeting Tuesday night LSU wrestles with cheap image Family Day activities planned By TREY BARRINEAU Appalachian Staff Writer ASU is the third least expensive Jblic university in the country wording to a recent study, but that 3es not please Vice Chancellor avid Mclntire. "I don't like the cheap image it >uld project to potential students," : said. "People tend to equate the >st of something with the 'you get hat you pay for' concept." The study, which was aoue oy the inceton, New Jersey-based College >ard, first appeared in the August issue of the Chronicle of Higher lucation. The rankings were based on finanln formation provided by 1,005 ar-year private institutions and 275 Jr-year public institutions.

Western Carolina was the fifth least expensive and Fayetteville State was the sixth. In addition to the rankings, the study also found college tuitions and fees across the country will rise an average of 7 percent this year. This is the eighth consecutive year tuition and fees have increased faster than " . . .I h o p e t h a t t h i s ( t h e ranking) doesn 't stick the notion of cheapness in people's minds. I mean, we may be inexpensive, but that doesn't mean you can 7 get a quality educa­ tion here. " Vice Chancellor David Mclntire inflation, according to the College Beard. Mclntire stated that this is true for ASU as wtli. "Our fees are going up every year. A lot of this increase is due to infla­ tion, of course, but some of it is due to increased personnel costs and the cost of new programs," he said. He added that he was unsure whether tuition would increase because it is set by the North Carolina General Assembly and is the same at all the UNC campuses. While agreeing that ASU's ranking would provide the school with publicity, Mclntire wondered whether the publicity would be good or bad. "We've had good press before Irom U.S. Ant s and World Report and Money magazine that told people about our quality education. I hope that this (the ranking) doesn't stick the notion of cheapness in people's minds. I mean, we may be inexpen-. sive, but that doesn't mean you can't get a quality education here," he add­ ed. By JENNINGS DIXON Appalachian Siaff Writer Appalachian Family Day, an an­ nual fall event, will take place Satur­ day, September 24. Family Day will provide academic information. In addition, a picnic will be held and parents, students and pro­ spective students will have the oppor­ tunity to attend the ASU and Gardner-Webb football game. The day begins at 8:30 in Varsity Gymnasium where an Information Fair will be held. Refreshments will be provided. University and academic department representatives will be available to answer questions for all parents, students, and prospective students. The Information Fair will end approximately at 11:15. Parents interested in becoming members of the Appalachian Parents' Association are invited to meet in Room 279 Rankin Science Building. The purposes and functions of this group will be discussed at the meeting. At 9, campus tours will begin. These tours will last approximately 45 minutes each. Interested students or parents should meet at the west end of the main floor of Varsity Gym and tours will last until 11:00. From 9:30 until 11, departmental open houses and residence hall open houses will be taking place. Faculty members will be available in various departments to answer questions, give tours of each department, and pro­ vide academic information. Prospec­ tive music majors may audition for admission and talent awards for the School of Music in the Broyhill Music Center. In the residence halls, rooms will be open for viewing by students and parents and open house schedules are available at the General Informaton Center in Varsity Gym. Mini-sessions on admissions will be held at 9 and 9:30 in Room 279 Rankin Science Building. Following this a financial aid mini-session will be held at 10. The day will conclude with a variety show to be held in Farthing Auditorium. The program will feature Mountaineer' Talent Search winners and other talented students performing. Admission is $1 and tickets may be purchased at the fair or at the door. "Family Day has a number of pur­ poses," Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Student Development Barbara Daye said. "One is to provide students the op­ portunity to have their parents come and spend a day with them and par­ ticipate in activities with them," Daye said. "It is also an opportunity for pro­ spective students and parents to come to ASU and see if they want to be a part of Appalachian," she added. Anyone with questions about Fami­ ly Day should contact Barbara Daye at 262-2060. appa Alpha Order receives prestigious Ammen award BY MIKE LAWS Sppalarhian Sufr Wriler PD^AI k6"3 ?si chapIer of the ,l r p a Order has received one mi'y'S presti8ious Ammen ards di ^r?,r,1en 's given each summer aderchKa?Pa Alpha's National Wership Conference. atnen cbapter must Pinations" hrbach said.

Rockies By Appalachian Slaff Writer Adventure. What a wonderful thing. It keeps ife interesting and exciting; worth iving. I'm into adventures. This summer, my long time idekick Sean and I, along with a ouple of friends, went to Colorado. We rock climbed for a few days, liscovered Killian's Red beer, the luck Snort Saloon and the Pearl itreet Mall. (Freaks galore roam that| ipen air mall. I've never seen nything like it. Green spiked aohawks...) Desiring a change of scenery, lean, Martin, Steve and I blasted mt of Denver in the trusty Manta !ay towards Howard, CO which is ight next to No Where. The adventure was kicking into ^ear... Seems there's this bike race called the Coors International Bicycle Classic, held every year in August. It takes place over a couple of weeks involving many different stages in many different cities out west. One of these many cities is Grand Junc­ tion, CO. She hosts the Tour of the Moon stage of the Classic. You get to see some of the world's best cyclists ride their asses off at ungodly speeds for ungodly amounts of miles. Plus you'get to see honed women hanging out in skin tight Lycra jerseys and pants. The ladies on the Lowery's team were the lonedest. Anyway, Martin and Steve decided o play in the woods for a couple nore days. Sean and I wanted to go ;ee the Classic. The DILEMMA: Grand Junction s 210 miles from Howard and we lad no wheels. The SOLUTION: We pulled a iissy Hankshaw and hitchhiked. Early Monday, August 15, we ook showers, loaded our packs, ried to look respectable and started itching. Six rides and nine hours her, we were standing in Grand unction. What a buzz.

It's called Club Candlelight, and it's available at a great bargain price. For a fraction of the cost to see these acts anywhere else, A.P.P S. will be bringing you quality acts from across the nation. From Jazz and Blues artists to slapstick comedians, Club Candlelight offers something for everyone. with the stars," he added. The first show in the series features Jane Powell, a nationally-known vocalist. Her first professional tour was as the featured female vocalist with The Platters. She followed this up by working with such famous artists as Lionel Hampton, The Shirells, the Drifters and Ray Charles. Reporting on her performance with Ray Charles, Richard Harrington of the Washington Post said, "She stole the show from a legend." October brings Wayne Federman whose spontaneous brand of humor brings down the house wherever he performs.

Roddy Smith, a 1978 ASU alumnus, is featured in this band as well as his brother Tim Smith. Both brothers come by their talent natural­ ly as their father is recording artist Arthur Smith. Josh White Jr. performs in February. His one-man blues show has appeared in the world's most famous arenas including New York's Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Madison Square Garden. He also hails from a talented musical background as his father is the legen­ dary Josh White Sr. whose many hits included the famous "House of the Rising Sun." March includes vocalist Daryle Ryce. Her blues style of singing tells a story with every song. In her own words she calls her music "contem­ porary," explaining that it's a little of everything—country, mild funk and swing. It's not Top 40 and it's not middle of the road." ASU's own Jack Wilkins brings his quartet to town to close the series. Anyone who has heard Jack play his blend of jazz and fusion knows what a hot show this will be. "Only about 200 season tickets are available now, so purchase yours ear­ ly so you won't get left out. At only $15 for students and $20 for others this is a deal that can't be turned down," Ethridge said. Get yours at the Student Union ticket booth from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Remember, dress to impress for these classy acts. CLUB CANDLELIGHT: Tomorrow night the Student Union Pub will' be transformed into a ritzy nightclub when the dynamic Jane Powell performs in the opening show of A.P.P.S.'s Club Candlelight. Powell is returning to ASU for her third show on campus. Each of her shows has been well-received, and she has been critically acclaimed as"Superb!"

SEPTEMBER 15. 1988 SPORTS ASU teams compete in cross country invational Sabiina Sells By TREY BARRINEAU Appalachian Staff Writer New hope for America The U.S. Open last week ended (nth no real surprises. Sure, there lere the usual upsets like Gabriela labatini's defeat of number two seed dartina Navratilova and the early limination of players such as Stefan dberg and Boris Becker. I One eye-opening aspect of the |)pen this year, though, was the nergence of new, strong contenders nd new American blood. For exam le, Michael Chang, a 16-year-old om California, upset the Charlotte leat's Dr. Dirt, Tim Wilkinson, in a rueling five set match. Chang, a uiet contender and good sport, layed consistently and made passing lots that could have been mistaken jr a much more seasoned player Chang advanced to the quarter|nals where he was defeated by not her young American wonder and Jossibly the best of the new tennis eneration, Andre Agassi. Agassi hocked the tennis world by sneaking hto the elite ranks of tennis players (most overnight. In one year, Agassi loved from well in the double-digit pnkings down to the number five feed at the open. ] Don't count on him to be a "flash in the pan" tennte success, either. Agassi improves each time he takes the court. An 18-year-old from (Nevada, Agassi has an unbelievably ^accurate forehand that has been clocked at over 100 miles per hour. His only weakness at this point is his lack of endurance, and it cost him the match against the number one seed, Ivan Lendl. More than just a good tennis player, Agassi is fun and exciting to watch. He is a crowd-pleaser and truly respects the officials and judges who make calls and decisions at the matches. During the semi-final match against Lendl, a beach ball was tossed onto the court. Jokingly, Agassi popped the ball over the net toward Lendl, hoping to create some excitement for the crowd. Lendl got angry at what he felt was an attempt by Agassi to stall the match. What a grouch! Lighten up, Ivan. ASU's men's and women's cross country teams competed this past weekend at the Wake Forest Invita­ tional, held at the Tanglewood Steeplechase Park in Winston-Salem. The men finished fourth out of 14 teams and the women finished sixth out of 13 teams. Men's coach, A1 Fereshetian was pleased with his team's performance. "We had a lot of pleasant surprises out there Saturday, especially from our freshmen," he said. "For exam­ ple, six of our top ten finishers were freshmen." Pete Vandenberg led the way for ASU on the 8,000 meter course, finishing overall with a time of 25:28. Charlie Storm was the second finisher for ASU and the 21st overall with a time of 25:47. Freshman Todd Walters placed 29th with a time of 25:56. Another freshman, Danny Ledford, took 30th place with a 25:57 time. Morris Piercy finished 33rd with a time of 26:02. Kelly Collins placed 59th with a time of 26:43. Steve Simandle finished 68th with a time of 26:57. Overall, there was only a 1:27 time difference among ASU's top seven finishers. ASU's women's team fared just as well at the meet. Coach John Weaver was satisfied with his team's effort. "For such a young team we did very well. In fact, we look better now than we did at this same time last year," he said. Senior Whitney Ball was the top finisher for ASU, placing ninth overall with a time of 19:02. Jennifer Bower finished 33rd with a time of 19:54. Leigh Cooper finished 34th with a time of 19:59.

Students, faculty and staff aerobicize for fitness at the Quinn Center. The aerobics program is back in action this fall at the Quinn Center, and ASU health buffs have discovered how to maintain fit and trim bodies. Aerobic exercise is a total body, conditioning workout that firms muscle, tones flab, and strengthens the cardiovascular system. In addition, aerobic exercise promotes longer endurance and better body coordination. Aerobic exerise, unlike many athletic activities, does not concen­ trate on simply one or a few body parts. Instead, it provides a complete and well-rounded fitness program that affects arms, legs, stomach, hips and the upper body. As a result, aerobic exercise is one of the best overall activities for getting into shape and maintaining a good level of fitness. Five different levels of aerobic exer­ cise are offered at the Quinn Center. Each particular type of aerobics is geared toward different participants and their needs. The categories are high impact, low impact, super, ton­ ing, and abdominal aerobics. . . .it provides a complete and well-rounded fitness program that affects arms, legs, stomach, hips and the upper body. High impact aerobics is an intense jogging, bouncing, and jumping pro­ gram designed for the almost or already fit. High impact aerobics also builds muscle and endurance more quickly than low impact aerobics. Low impact aerobics has its advan­ tages, too, however. Low impact aerobics offers the same car­ diovascular conditioning of high impact aerobics without strain and pressure on the legs. Feet stay on the ground in low impact aerobics, and walking, bending and constant move­ ment tone the body. Super aerobics is a fast-paced, high endurance activity designed especially for people in good shape. Super aerobics requires constant running and excellent cardiovascular endurance. Toning aerobics concen­ trates more on firming muscle and less on cardiovascular conditioning. Sets of slower, holding exercises replace jumping and jogging exercises. Ton­ ing aerobics is especially geared toward body builders and weightlifters for a lighter workout. Abdominal aerobics is designed specifically to firm the abdomen. It is provided for people who want to fiatten their stomach but get car­ diovascular exercise from other activities. Whatever your level of participa­ tion, the Quinn Center has one designed to meet your fitness needs. Aerobic exercise is for everyone who wants to get into shape. It provides participants with the opportunity to reach and maintain healthy and fit bodies. Open to alt interested Appalachian faculty, staff, and student golfers who like competition The annual intramural golf tournament is scheduled By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports Editor The Department of Recreation, Intramurals and Club Sports will be sponsoring the annual fall golf tour­ nament on Tuesday, September 2" from 3:15 until 8 p.m. at the Hanging Rock Country Club in Seven Devils N.C. The entry fee is $12.50 for faculty, staff and students. The price includes green fees and golf cart, and tee-off times will begin at 3:16 and run to around 4:15. Special Events Coordinator for the Quinn Center Robert Reeve, encourages everyone to take advan­ tage of the price and opportunity to participate in the tournament. "In the spring tournament, only nine participants showed up after 30 signed up," he said. "The problem was not in the tournament, but instead, in the time because the com­ petition was held during exams. The cost is the normal student rate, but it includes the price of the cart, so it is a good deal." Reeve anticipates more competition and participation this semester. "Hopefully, we will have a much better turn out than last spring because this time of the semester is not very hectic," he said. "Hanging Rock is a nice course. In addition, the "Hopefully, we will have a much better turn out than last spring because this time of the semester is not very hectic. Hanging Rock is a nice course. Robert Reeve Special Events Coord., Quinn Center tall is a good time to play because the weather is cool and the leaves are changing. It should be a really nice tournament." Reeve also feels that the competi­ tion should be challenging and fun for the golfers who enter. "Last year there were a few "hackers" who went out and hit 30 or more shots on each hole," he said. "There were a lot of good players as well, though, that were serious about the competition. I expect some good players to be involved this fall." There are incentives to the winners of the tournament, too. Both individuals and teams are eligible for the competition. All the first place finishers will receive an Intramurals tee-shirt," Reeve said. "Team and individual awards will be given. In addition, teams who participate can earn AllUniversity points for competing and scoring well in the tournament." Transportation will be provided to and from the competition for entrants who need it. The entry deadline for the golf tournament is Wednesday, September 21.

Campus groups need to be organizing homecoming parade activities and nominating court members for their organization. Parade applications may be picked up at the information desk of Plemmons Student Union or the second floor, Workman Hall. Deadline for the completed application is Friday, September 30 at 5 pm. The parade will begin at 4 pm on Friday, October 14 and follow a designated route around the campus. Bjom Nittmo's 35-yard field goal with only ten seconds remaining lifted Ap­ palachian State to a thrilling 17-14 victory over a stunned James Madison squad. The victory was a near duplicate of the 1986 squad's last second 21-20 win. The win was also evidence that this young Moun­ taineer team may have the potential to win a third straight Southern Conference Cham­ pionship. Throughout the first quarter of the con­ test, neither the Apps or the Dukes seemed to want this victory. The only threat in the period came with 2:57 left, as a Tim Garritty field goal was wide right and kept the host team from jumping on top. It was the beginning of the second period before the Dukes started to control the game offensively. On their first drive, they chewed up nearly six minutes of the clock and held a first down at the Mountaineer 11-yard line. The defense held tough, though, stopping Madison on a fourth and one at the two-yard line. On offense, the Apps continued to strug­ gle and could not move the ball after they regained possession on their own two-yard line.

Again, quarterback Roger Waters drove his team over the youthful Mountaineer defense. The ball rested on the seven-yard line when Waters brought his team up to the line for a second-and-goal situation. The ASU defense surged, however, and Joe Spikes, a junior out of Shelby, picked off Waters' aerial and returned it to the fouryard line. The Mountaineers had trouble moving the ball and Cox was forced to punt from a tough field position again. He drilled a 50-yarder, and with 2:18 to go and the ball resting on the Madison 38 yard line, the tie score seemed evident, going into halftime. With :37 seconds to go in the half, though, lightning struck for the Dukes, in the form of a Roger Waters to Keith Thornton 50-yard bomb. James Madison took total control of the game early in the second half. After failing to convert a 39-yard field goal on their first drive, the Dukes pushed down the field on their second drive, as Mike Ragin capped off the drive with a two-yard plunge. After the JMU extra point, the Apps found SU's Aqua Aerobics Class Offered takes on a sophisticated appearance logo Appalachian News Editor y and LINNEA MARTINSON Assistant News Editor ASU's Administrative Cabinet has apI proved a new logo-type for use on sta­ tionery and business cards.

See APPALACHIAN Page 5 Appalachian 1 1 S T A T E U N I V E R S I T Y New ASU Logo The North Charles Street Design Organization (based in Baltimore, MD) designed the new logotype. The design firm has won numerous national awards for redesigning college publications. North Charles Street Design submitted the logotype design to the task force after reviewing market research involving pro­ spective students, alumni, and parents. The task force wanted to stress the name Appalachian as well as embody the prin­ ciples the university tries to uphold. "I wanted us to have a distinctive look as a confident, aspiring, unpretentious place. At the same time, I wanted it to be profes­ sional. I think (the logotype) does that," McGowan said. "We needed a new look. I think Ap­ palachian has changed," Clyburn said. "We needed a logo that said 'We are a university that addresses the needs for today.' " "We wanted something (that represented) what people thought Ap­ palachian stood for," Clyburn added. The logotype is for use on letterheads, business cards, and university publications. "(The logotype) only affects off campus publications," Clyburn said. North Charles Street Design also created a style-manual which oilers recommenda­ tions on how to present University publica­ tions. McGowan commended the student com­ mittee member and the art students who had input into the decision. "1 was really pleased that our students had a feel for the ideas (the committee wanted to incorporate)," McGowan said. All departments should be receiving order forms for the stationery soon. "We hope that six months after the ar­ rival of this first bulk order, all parts of the university will be using the new stationery for all off-campus mail," McGowan said. Clyburn stressed the need lor a new logotype. "(The former logo) was really old. It was just time for a change. Appalachian has changed over the years. It didn't really say what Appalachian was, " Clyburn said. "I think the sense of being aspiring is in this design," McGowan said.

The Boone noise ordinance has been a topic of debate among students and locals. The ordinance was passed by Boone Town Council while students were on spring break. However, Mayor Pro Tempore Velma Burnley claims this was not done on | purpose. "It was the time of passage but it was on the agenda for a long time. The basic reason for doing it was to make it more easily en­ forced because the decibel meter was one of the prime considerations and I don't think anyone thought it was that different," I Burnley said.

' However, at the May 26, 1988, Town | Council meeting, Town Councilman Saul Chase presented an idea to form a commit­ tee to analyze the ordinance's problems. At that meeting Burnley said the noise or­ dinance was working and there was no need | for a change. Burnley feels that the noise ordinance is a very important statute. "I'm very conscious of the image our town projects," Burnley said. "I feel that it (the large parties) doesn't look good to tourists and projects a bad image of the town of Boone." Burnley added that the purpose of the or dinance is not to make money. "We don't want to make money from the citations, what we want is people's rights to be respected," Burnley said. According to Burnley, it takes 16 police officers to patrol the town on Friday and Saturday, typical party nights. She claims that this causes the tax payers thousands of extra dollars. Burnley said that in 1986 there were 110 noise complaints to the police department. In 1987 there were 96 calls. "This year started off to be a bit worse than last year," Burnley added. Section 4, Part A of the ordinance states that "Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this or­ dinance shall upon conviction be guilty of a misdemeanor or shall be punished by a fine not to exceed fifty dollars ($50) or imprison­ ed for not more than thirty (30) days." However, Sergeant Guy of the Boone Police Department said that they (police) are mainly dealing with the civil fine. "The criminal (Section A) is to be used in extreme cases and is a misdemeanor with a possible jail term," Guy said. The civil charge carries a $100 fine and must be paid within 10 days. Violators who do not pay may have civil action taken against them. In this case the person cited must pay the court cost and the town's at torney fees. The question of the noise ordinance's constitutionality has raised more questions. One difference between the old noise or­ dinance and the revised one is the absence oi the use ot a decibel meter to determine what is too loud. According to ASU Communication Arts Professor Dr. Terry Cole, there has been similar cases dealing with the same type of noise ordinances. In State versus Dorsett, the North Carolina Appellate Court said that the or­ dinance's failure to define the legal stan­ dards in terms ol decibels would not make it unconstitutionally vague. The decision made it legal for the police to decide what is too loud at their own discretion. Fines of the ordinance must be paid f within 10 days of the citation. No court date is given to those in violation ol the or­ dinance. "I'm bothered by the fact that you can cite someone and you don't have your day in court. They have no burden of proving that you are guilty and the only way you can get your day in court is to refuse to pay your $100 line and make them take legal action to collect it," Cole said. "It has the effect of keeping people front fighting it." Cole added. Cole is also on the Legal Committee of the State Board of the North Carolina Civil Liberties Union. He says that the NCC1 U has not represented the case in court to date. "The NCCLU are not taking the case because they have not been presented with a case that looks like it has a chance of suc­ cessfully challenging the statute but they are concerned about these kinds of ordinances," Cole added.

According to Regional Librarian Steve Farlow, plans are under way to build a library with floor space of up to 20,000 square feet. "We have a little over 6,000 square feet here, and we hope to have at least three times that amount with the new library," Farlow said. The building which currently houses the public library was con­ structed in the 1930s and, though the structure is sound, it was not original­ ly designed as a library.

Billy Vinson It's my first column ever, and already I have a beef. There is a man in our society who has risen to almost god-like status in the hearts and minds of millions of people all over the world. He is the premier figure of the twentieth century, remembered by some as a prophet, by some as a king, and by others as a devil. He has been the subject of some of the most beautiful songs and most touching works of art that Americans have ever produced. Yet despite his many contributions, he is scorned, laughed at, and unmer­ cifully ridiculed by his fellow Americans whom he loved so dear­ ly. The man: Elvis Presley. Did you know that Elvis shops at Carolina Waterbeds? Do you remember when "The Big E" drove up to the Biscuitville drive-thru, ordering "a great big fluffy biscuit?" Oh yeah, the great deals left him "all shook up." Elvis was even at WASU the other morning, eating like a pig. It's a well-known fact that Elvis was considered as a running-mate for George Bush. The Houston Astrodome also left Elvis two tickets for an Oilers pre-season football game. He didn't pick them up. Truly, Elvis is everywhere. But why is Elvis Presley, who along with Babe Ruth and John Wayne make up the three greatest Americans of this century, such a big joke? Have you seen the com­ mercial for the Elvis hotline, where that big fat redneck in an Elvis suit walks around like Elvis' ghost, and asks his adoring fans to call him up? I've got news for you. Elvis is dead. Deceased, defunct, no longer with us, passed to the other shore. Elvis Presley has given up the ghost kicked the bucket, said his last goodbye. The King's soul departed from his body eleven years ago, leaving him nothing but a rotting corpse six feet under Memphis. But Elvis wrfs the King of Rock and Roll, so he can't die in peace. We have to keep digging him up. There was the woman who had an affair with him in 1984, and the tape made in 1980 to console his giieving fans. Walt Williams, noted Elvis scholar, insists that Elvis, after faking his death, had a sex change in southern California and came back and formed his/her own band We know him now as Ann Wilson of Heart. Elvis has been spotted by others, from Michigan to Texas to Hawaii, the latest sighting being on 1-95 in South Carolina, where he was seen holding hands with the Lizard Man. But the most despicable kind of Elvis degradation is when a guy like Rick Neilsen of vheap Trick insists that Elvis ac­ tually takes over his body and orces him to make grotesque remakes of his greatest tunes. L et us consider, for a moment, Cheap Trick's "Don't be Cruel." lat was Elvis' biggest-selling song ln t ie fifties. Now how come no x>dy ever makes the top twenty 7''Hey Jude," "Sympathy for e Devil," "Pinball Wizard" or stairway to Heaven?"

"I wasn't sure what to expect of Chicago without Peter Cetera, but the new singer/bassist Jason Scheff does a good job of filling the gap left by Cetera, and he seems to really fit into the group," student Brian Banks said. Chicago played their latest hit "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love" from the Chicago 19 album, as well as some older songs such as "Along Comes a Woman," "We Can't Stop the Hurtin'," and "Hard for Me to Say I'm Sorry." The band also sang such classics as "Saturday in the Park," and "25 or 6 to 4." "It sounded like the original Chicago. Even without some of the original group members they sounded the same," student David Hiller said. A newcomer to the pop scene, Henry Lee Summer opened the show with such hits as "I Wish I Had a Girl," and "Darling Daniel Don't." "I thought he was a good per­ former, and although I only knew the one song, the others were pretty good," another student Robert Burns said. "He did a good job of getting the crowd fired up," Burns added. "He was energetic and knew how to talk to students." "I wasn't sure what to expect of Chicago without Peter Cetera, but the new singer/bassist Jason Scheff does a good job of filling the gap left by Cetera, and he seems to really fit into the group." ASU student, Brian Banks Some students preferred Henry Lee Summer to Chicago. "Chicago was great, but Henry Lee Summer stole the show," Mark Skidmore said. "It went smoother and was more successful than any other concert. The band was pleased and the crowd was pleased," A.P.P.S. President Lane Newsome said. "The gym looked good, and it looked full," Kelly said. "The thing I liked most about the show is that we dispelled the myth that the gym can't sound good," he added. Although the concert was not the financial success A.P.P.S. had wanted, it is hoped that students will continue to support student program­ ming. "Programming was a success, but I wish it had done better financially," Kelly said. "Even though the crowd was well under our expectations, I feel it was a success, and I hope people will sup­ port our concerts in the future," Newsome added. Low attendance at the Chicago concert is likely to affect programm­ ing for the remainder of the year. "I'm sure we'll have other con­ certs, but we won't be able to have large names like we had hoped to," Newsome said. H'Appy's Manager Randy Kelly was pleased with the overall ap­ pearance of the gym and the sound. New Appalachian Express Card charges onto ASU By ANGIE CHESNUT Appalachian Staff Writer Imagine that you are on campus with no money and you are starving because your roommate cleaned out the refrigerator the night before. Your next class is in 30 minutes so there is no time to go to the bank. What do you do? Imagine that you are in the bookstore. You need to buy a book for a class, and there is only one left. A mean-looking kid from your class is after the same book. Your checkbook is at home, you have no cash, and the mean kid will get the book before you can get back from the bank. What do you do? The answer to these problems and similar inconvenient situations could very well be the new Appalachian Express account. This account is an optional account that works similar to the meal account. It even works off of the same ASU ID card. Not only can the Appalachian Express account be used to chow down at the Cafeteria, the Gold Room, Sweet Shop and the Food Court, but the account can also be used at the University Bookstore, University Laundry and for meals at the Broyhill Inn. Setting up an Express account is relatively easy and quite painless. All you have to do is stop by the ID Center in Welborn Hall and tell them you want an Express account. Of course, you (or your parents or some other generous benefactor) have to deposit a minimum of $100 in order to open the account. Then, as you use the card, money is deducted from your account's total. Although this system is new, just being started this fall, it seems to be working out really well. Director of Auxiliary Services Linda Slate, is very pleased with student response. "By registration we had about $250,000 predeposited," she said "and we already have students adding on to their accounts." Auxiliary Services is the organiza­ tion largely responsible for the success of the new Appalachian Express See EXPRESS Page 4 Appolochlon Photo by Tameula Trivette The Appalachian Express Card adds convenience to Bookstore purchases SGA Vice-President Frank Callis gets personal By DARRYL N. PARKER, JR. Appalachian Staff Writer Ever wonder just who the big guy is behind the SGA vice-president's door? I want to introduce you to a "hip man of the eighties," Frank "Moose" Callis. We all know Moose as the aspiring leader he is, but some fail to realize he has a past, a personal life beyond the office and hates and likes, and weird habits that make him the individual he is. Frank Callis went to Oxford Webb High School basically to have fun. He was the class clown. He didn't feel like it was a good day unless he some how got placed in In-SchoolSuspension, which happened to have a chair with his name on it. He was even involved in politics in those years, running for Student Government Secretary. He went on to make a complete mockery of the posi­ tion and the system it represented, ob­ viously losing the campaign. Since the party years in high school, Callis has tackled college full-steam. As an Anthropology major with a place yourself above others." Criminal Justice minor, he believes Callis is no more or less a student that solid academics in college are the than anyone else.

PRATHER Appalachian Columnist Steve Ferguson is a person with many aspects. Aside from being a devoted husband, loving father, presi­ dent of the Bianca Jagger Fan Club, and coordinator of Media Services here at ASU, Steve is a painter. To him, creating art is more than just an ability he has, it's a passion. A passion with which all artists can identify. C.W.: When did you discover "art"? Steve: An early determining of my tendency came as a product of a troubled home life. That is, as a child, I spent a lot of time alone, and for some reason this aloneness created in me a facility for astute observation. 1 was a late bloomer, however, and I didn't really bring my education experience, etc., together in the act of painting until I was in my mid-thirties. I hav£the traditional modern masters, Beuys, Ernst, Guston, to thank for a kick in the pants and, of course, sup­ port and inspiration from a few good friends—Aydelott, Long, Barbara Daupert, Hayes, and Dunlap to men­ tion a few. C.W.: In your opinion, then, is heing an artist something people are born with, or can it be learned? Steve: It's now my opinion that you can not educate someone to be an artist. There's a certain sort of determination and interest in observation that is either inherent in the person or not inherent in the person. I think if you have someone who doesn't have these inate sensabilities, then they will prob­ ably not, over time, contribute to the arts in an individual way. C.W.: What chance does someone have to make it in the art com­ munity, in the real world.

Slate goes on to say that several other universities employ a similar system, and that the idea to imple­ ment such a system at ASU was in response to positive student input.'' Chris Daniels, an off-campus junior at ASU, is just one student who feels that having an Appalachian Express account is a good advantage.

Fuller dropped back on the first play and heaved a spiral into two players' hands. A moment of silence filled JMU stadium as Wesley and the defender fell to the ground at the nine-yard line. ASU coaches, players, and fans rejoiced as the official gave the signal for a Mountaineer first down. Two plays later Kenny Dawson's four-yard dive evened the score at 14. The home field advantage began slipping away from the Dukes, and on their next possession, they were forc­ ed to punt after driving to the ASU 43. Yet even with the score tied and the momentum shifted to their side, the Apps were unable to score on their next drive. With 4:11 to go in the game, JMU had a first and ten on their own two yard line. Slowly they pushed the ball down the field. With 1:06 left to play, James Madison had to make the toughest decision of their young 1988 season. It was fourth and four at the JMU 42, and they decided to go for the first down. Appalachian mustered all the strength they had. The pressure was too much for Waters and ASU took over possession. The failure to convert was a crucial play as well as a questionable one.

After a 14-3 early lead, the Saints rallied in the third quarter to take a 19-14 lead and never lost the lead in the ballgame again. The only Falcon surge came in the fouth quarter with the score at 29-21. On the first play after a Saints kick-off, Settle broke away for his 63-yard run that gave Atlanta a chance to pull within two points. The Falcons could not capitalize on Settle's gain, however, and the Saints held on to win the contest 29-21. Settle's carry was the longest rush for the Atlanta Falcons since 1969. The Falcons fell to 0-2 on the season, and they have already found themselves in cellar of the NFC West. ASU drops two matches to VA. Tech. and Campbell By DOUG DEWAR Appalachian Staff Writer After winning their first two games of the season, the soccer team has now tasted the "agony of defeat" by losing two very close games, one against Virginia Tech 2-1 and the other against Campbell 3-1 in over­ time. In their third game of the season, the soccer team travelled out of state to play Virginia Tech. In this very tight matchup, the App's usual hard play was not enough to capture the victory. ASU came out strong in the begin­ ning when Brian Flynn scored on an assist from Carlos Lee, two minutes into the match. For most of the remainder of the game, though, the Apps played listlessly with only occa­ vam mmitt Sm'th SETTLE WATCH: In Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints, the Atlanta Falcons' John Set­ tle, a former ail-American running back at Appalachian State University, gained an impressive 102 yards in 10 carries. Settle's effort included a 63-yard scamper and one touchdown run. Settle entered the game after a starting fullback pulled a muscle in his hip early in the second quarter. 100 plus yardage was achieved by only three players in the NFL this week, in­ cluding Settle. After two weeks of regular season play, Settle leads the Falcons in rushing yards with 125 and is tied for points scored with 12. sional spurts. "We had flurries throughout the game, especially in the closing minutes, but for the most part we played rather flat," Head Coach Art Rex said. Thirty-five minutes into the first half, Virginia Tech scored their first goal to tie the game up 1-1. Early into the second half, Virginia Tech scored the deciding goal to put the Apps behind for the rest of the game. In the final minutes of the game, ASU poured on the heat in a final effort, almost scoring twice. John Cerak started the drive by beating his defender on the wing and putting the ball across Virginia Tech's goalline. Brian Flynn came in to push it across but it hit the goal post, and the ball was cleared out. John Cerak then beat his defender again and chipped a slow ball over the goalie's head, but again, at the last second, a defender came around to clear the ball out. The loss was obviously tough for ASU. They outshot Virginia Tech 8-6 and they had 18 fouls to Virginia Tech's 16. These statistics, along with the fact that ASU scored first, created a frustrating break for the soccer team. ASU's flat play may well have been due to the fact that this matchup was ASU's third straight away game. Last year, their record proved that away games were tough on the team. Our away record last year was 2-7-2 and now we stand at 2-1-0, so one away loss out of three is not bad," Rex said. "I am really looking for­ ward to playing our next two games at home." The soccer team's next game was their first home game of the season against a strong Campbell team who had just tallied a major upset over UNC-Chapel Hill. Although they had the homefield advantage, ASU could not pull out the victory in overtime despite their excellent play. The game began with both sides competing evenly until Campbell scored near the end of the second half on a crossed ball that was headed in for an outstanding goal. For the remainder of the first half, ASU appeared down and tired. After the break at half, however, ASU came out alive and began to dominate the game. After several chances, ASU finally scored on a goal by Brian Flynn on an assist by captain Andy Salandy. For the remainder of the game, both teams had flurries and missed opportunities to score. Regulation time ended with the score 1-1. Two ten minute overtime periods ensued and within eight minutes, Campbell had scored to make the score 2-1 with 12 minutes left to play. ASU came up with several chances but they could not finish with a goal. As the clock counted down, ASU desperately tried to surge with some final offense. In their attempt, though, the defense was caught up and Campbell scored, sealing the vic­ tory with just 34 seconds left in over­ time. This loss proved even harder for the Apps. After losing to Virginia Tech, the team was hoping to rebound with a big win. "If we could have beaten Camp­ bell, it would have negated the loss to See SOCCER Page 6 Volleyball team dedicates 1988 season to Villegas By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Staff Writer Building a sports program is dif­ ficult at any school, but for Head Volleyball Coach Traci Blankenship, the building process is almost com­ plete. "As a team, we just want to play hard and aggressive and be as consis­ tent as possible," Blankenship said. While the team still has some aspects of the game that need work, the program has come a long way. "We do not get an automatic bid into the NCAA," Blankenship said. "We are going to continue to push for an automatic bid because we are com­ petitive enough as a conference to contend nationally." This season has been marked by the tragic death of Anamaria Villegas. As •/g& Appoiochion Photo by ASU Sports information Sophomore Tammy Craig starter for the team last year, Villegas was killed in an automobile accident in June. Affected by this trememdous loss, the volleyball team has decided to dedicate the entire 1988 season to her. This year's team is led by Senior Kim Warren and Sophomores Tam­ my Craig and Holly Ryerse. "Tammy and Holly are very good on the defensive team," Blankenship said. Another key player in the Moun­ taineer lineup is Val Patterson, who was out previously due to an injury. With Patterson's return and with strong play from the other team members, the Apps are contenders for the Southern Conference title. "The team to beat is UTC. They are coming back with a very strong team this year," Blankenship said. "Our schedule of competition will make us much more competitive, especially if we give 120 percent on the court." "In the long run, it will help us grow as a volleyball team," Blanken­ ship said. The team faired well against an ex­ perienced Virginia Tech team even though they lost the match 5-15, 15-12, 6-15, and 11-15. "The team to beat is UTC. They are coming back with a very strong team this year. " Traci Blankenship, Head Volleyball Coach Craig led the team with ten kills, while Kris Zubay had the best hitting percentage at .375. "We lost the match because of ser­ ving," Blankenship said. "We will work on serving to prepare us for our next match so maybe the outcome won't be the same." Craig also led the team with 37 digs and four solo blocks. "Experience was the difference in the match," Blankenship said. "I believe the way we played this match will lead to positive things in the future. With consistency and little ex­ perience under their belts, this young volleyball team has some great poten­ tial under Coach Blankenship. The end of the season could see the Moun­ taineer team fighting for a Southern Conference title and the chance to give Anamaria Villegas the champion­ ship she lived for but never got the chance to see. �THE APPALACHIAN.

Get involved! "Communists" to "America" I am amazed by the number of people who think that communism is some godless evil that threatens to destroy the "Christian United States." I am equally amazed at the number of citizens in the U.S. that think they live in "America." First, it is important to note that the United States was not formed to create a Christian theocracy. W hile it is true that many Puritans migrated to the New World with such purpose in mind, there were many other religious and perhaps nonreligious groups that came to the New World to escape religious persecution.

MILLER Appalachian < olumnisl I've noticed something about being a college student in my three years at ASU. I've noticed that, around here at least, college students get absolute­ ly no respect. I have been treated as an underling by everyone from professors to road construction workers, and 1 imagine m a n y r e a d l n g t h is have, too. Well, many reading this have, too. Well, I'm going to gripe a little for all of us i n t h l s article. ' I will start by saying there are many here in Boone who treat students like kings and queens. There are pro­ fessors whose greatest concern is get­ ting along with students and making sure they learn. There are people who work in support areas of the universi­ ty who always smile and are quite friendly to students. Further, there are many townspeople who think of the students almost as family. These are most definitely not the people I am complaining about. v What I am complaining about is the A kind ° ' — who view ASU . of people "" — s t u d e n t s a s n o more than a bunch of spoiled brats who have invaded their precious town.

There is also the kind of person who likes to stand outside your window with a noise meter just waiting to call Boone's finest to come and quiet you down. Another group which has earned a place in this article is an evil horde of student hating professors. I'm talking about those few professors which we will all invariable have who love to make everyone in the class feel humiliated. Or how about those few who love to be critical of student run enterprises such as WASU, SGA, or The Appalachian? If these professors think we are such stupid, hopeless fools, then why do thay even bother to try? For that matter, why did they even become involved in teaching? However, I should really point out that there are many faculty members who realize their colleagues have this superior attitude and like it even less than I do. Now let's go to the top. The ASU administration is also guilty of having little or no respect for students. True, ASU is a fine school for learning and Chancellor Thomas always tells new professors that their primary function here is to teach, but why is it that every time there is something con­ troversial going on, the ad­ ministration waits until students leave for a break and then implement their solution? Could it be that the ad­ ministration doesn't want the students making waves because they believe we are naive, and couldn't possibly know what we are talking about? I think so. "Say what you mean and mean what you j evaoe CAFrvet Pee AS wag is Possible 1 didn't like the way the Dougherty house affair was handled. What hap­ pened, from my viewpoint, was that student groups protesting the moving of the house were pacified until sum­ mer break, and then the administra­ tion moved quickly to do what they had intended all along. Or how about the new parking fees? When the students were inform­ ed, there was a huge uproar. Our elected representatives in SGA fought the increase tooth and nail. So what difference did all this student protest make? Nil. Doesn't leave much doubt as to how much difference our opi­ nion makes around here does it? The ASU administration is also guilty of having little or no respect for students. To further illustrate this point, how many of you have heard about the new gymnasium the administration decided we need? Probably by now most °f you know about the nearly MOO increase to our tuition which will raise the necessary funds. But, how many of you found out about this on September 3 when the decision was made public? Probably not many because the local press in Watauga County didn't even carry the story un­ til we returned from Labor Day break. Well, nobody asked me, or any other student, if we wanted topi a gym that wouldn't be but after this year's freshmen graduated. I don't believe it is a< too much to at least be told tie Posal was being considered be reading in The Charlom% that the decision had already made. Now, for the people who make me mad.

Yet how do we know if we are fulfilling our fate, when we do not know or understand our purpose until our death? Fate is also an excuse for not trying and a rationalization for failure. Without the desire to accomplish and take control of our lives, the human race will slowly die out. If we con­ tinue to make excuses for failure instead of revisions for success, we will be nothing more than an empty world of failure. The concept of fate is yet another device invented by per­ sons without the motivation to take control of their destinies. Free will is the power to change or even reverse the course of our lives. Even though certain decisions affect our lives, the thousands of trivial ones do not in anyway affect or disrupt the final outcome. For example, the deci­ sion of what to wear will not cause excessive trauma ot uncertainty When one must balance hundreds of decisions each day, no matter the size one s concentration towards each of those is very limited. If one had only one thing to accomplish at a time, and were allowed to devote one hundred percent of one's attention to that task until completion, life would be much less complicated. move of our bodies?

They are just part of a series of freak accidents to balance the tragedies and other mishaps which occur in our lifetime. Mistakes as well as good deeds for all are paid for in one way or another. Ideas such as purgatory, afterlife and equal torture follow in the phase after death. Rewards are also provided through the ideas of heaven, miracles, and the answers to the unknown. However, these are only promises made to people by others, trying desperately to keep death from being an unpleasant or frightening experience. These promises which people have so generously offered are believed with no shred of assurance or proof, except the rationalization of sharing a common belief with others. People do not realize the fact that upon death, while believers will continue to remain alive, they will move onward alone. Fate is a belief for those not strong enough to take control of their own destinies, just as religion is a belief for those who cannot handle the reality of what will happen after death. The mistakes people make are reprimanded in the afterlife in a selected punishment; fear of punish­ ment is a sort of bullwhip to keep us in line. The fear of being tortured or burned alive for the mistakes made here is one way to force the masses of people to lead a "good" life. Yet who set up these standards we must live by? What was their basis? Why is going to confession a way to rid yourself of these punishments? Are they saying that we can do anything no matter how terrible, and God will still forgive us and allow us into heaven if we apologize? Simple words do not erase our actions. Fate is just one more mystery in the logical workings of the human mind. Possibly someday we will gain the power to solve all our unanswered questions, yet for now we must simply sit and wait for that day to come. 1 BEDROOM FURNISHED APT.—Right on campus.

The Apps blew the game open in the second quarter with 24 unanswered points, including a 51-yard field goal by senior Bjorn Nittmo. Nittmo's kick was set up by, yet, another blocked punt, this time by Mark Moore. "I was really pleased about that (blocked punt)," ASU Head Coach Sparky Woods said. "We were really concerned about it coming into the year. It takes a lot of courage to block a punt. Mark Moore's block was a motivating factor for us on the sideline," Woods said. Coach Woods was equally impress­ ed with the balanced attack of the Fuller-led offense. The ASU offense finished the game with 486 yards of ;otal offense, 273 yards in the air, and 213 yards on the ground. "The line was giving me a lot of time to just sit back there, read the coverages, and hit the open man," Fuller said. "The running game was working so well that they (Citadel defense) didn't know what we were going to do, run or pass," The efficient Mountaineer aerial at­ tack came as a welcome surprise to the crowd of 13,428 who withstood the rainy, gloomy Saturday after­ noon. ASU fans have become ac­ customed to a grind-it-out type of of­ fense led by high-quality running backs like John Settle. It now appears the Apps will have a strong passing game to go along with a traditionally powerful ground attack. "We've always wanted to be a good passing team and that has been our goal since I've been here. I think several reasons have kept us from be­ ing a good passing team," Woods said. "One reason was the great player in John Settle. Another was our inability to get the ball to our receivers. Now, we hope we can have a balanced at­ tack, effective at both the run and pass," he said. a 38-14 victory over the Citadel, ASU has now run its season-opening record to 37-18-1 in debut games since 1928. See CITADEL Page 14 Trustees approve construction By LINNEA MARTINSON Assistant News Editor The ASU Board of Trustees liscussed future plans for the univerity during last Friday's meeting Among the items discussed was a iroposal to increase student fees vhich would facilitate extensive emodeling and construction on cam>us. The construction would include iqilding a new Student Activity "enter. According to Business Affairs ommittee Chairman Seby Jones, the ecision to build the Student Activity Center came after investigating the ossibility of renovating Varsity Gymnasium at an estimated cost of 12 million. It was decided that it was ques­ tionable whether (the university) should put that much money into a building of this age," Jones said. The cost of constructing a new facility would be $19 million. The existing facility seats only 5,800 people. The new Student Activity Center would seat 12,000 people. "We must allow for growth. We need to build for the future," Jones said. He added that the new activity center would take approximately three years to devise and bring into operation. Jones said half the money from the Activity Center would come from the increase in student fees. In addition, fee increases would go toward construction of a new field house and a west side campus food facility, as well as toward Student Union renovations. Jones reported the Communication Arts laboratories will also be renovated. $55,000 has been made available for the preliminary stages of planning. The trustees unanimously approved the motion to carry out the construc­ tion and renovations. "If you look back at our (fee) in­ creases over an extended period of time, it's been in the range of four to six percent a year," Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette said. "(The fees are needed) both for the needs of the students and also for the job of education as for as facilities are concerned," Jones added. "(Even with the fee increase,) the whole fee system at this universitv i- discuss fee increase considerably lower than at our sisu. institutions," he added Among the fees being considered for increase are the athletic fee, the book rental fee, and the food service fee. "Other than those, three minor fees, the self-liquidating debt category is where the major impact will come next year," Trivette said. The fee increase for 1989-90 is ex­ pected to be $90 per student. "(The increase) will accommodate for all four major construction pro­ jects," Trivette said. "Even with adding the $90 fee we'd still be well in line with the other in­ stitutions," Jones said. "Hopefully we can meet with stu­ dent groups prior to finalizing anything," Trivette said. "You can be too low in the cost of your service, and you can be too high. There's a median somewhere that's right," Jones said. "We are not considered to be cheap. We are considered to be good," he added. Long-range plans for ASU include intensified recruitment of minority students and faculty. "We must allow for growth. We need to build for the future." Seby Jones Business Affairs Committee Chairperson "If we had more minority students, we would attract more minority facul­ ty," Board Chairman Richard Davis said. Six percent of the current freshman class are minorities. "This comprises the largest concentration in history." Davis said ./He added that a faculty exchange program with WinstonSalem Stgte University is in the planning staj tgcs. "1^ there were more faculty here that minority students could look up to, (the faculty) would attract more students," SGA President Gary Greene said. Davis also proposed a minority scholarship fund. I he Board of Trustees will meet again December 1 and 2. Vancy Jones named Student Development Leadership Specialist By NICOLE PARSONS Appalachian Copy Editor A new position has been accepted •y Nancy Jones in the Student welopment Center. Jones is the Student Development eadership Specialist replacing last sars Student Development Leaderlip Instructor Margaret Clancey. he reason for the change is the posion has expanded to include more uties than that of a leadership inructor. Jones obtained a degree in Health iucation at East Carolina University id went on to get her Masters in Stuint Development at ASU. Before uning to ASU she filled a similar 'sition for two of her five years, at ie University of Tampa. In additon to teaching and colaching leadership classes, Jones supervises over several different areas. She is advisor to the Club Council, an organization on campus consisting of all the club presidents. "I work with the Club Council and give them some guidelines, new ideas and lend support where I can," Jones said. Jones also advises the Panhellenic Council consisting of the seven cam­ pus sororities. "My role here is not to necessarily lead them, but help them establish a process to obtain better education and guidance as a sorority," Jones said. In addition to supervising these, she also meets once a week with the Stu­ dent Legal Intern to help her with any problems and to further instructions on handling cases and in promoting Student Legal Services. Student Development Leadership Specialist diligently at her new position. Nancy Jones works Jones teaches Introduction to Leadership and co-teaches Applied Leadership with Director of Student Development Lee McCaskey which is for those students already holding leadership positions. Instructing these courses has led Jones to develop a non-credit pro­ gram called B.U.I.L.D. for any stu­ dent not enrolled in the leadership classes who would like to gain some leadership experience. B.U.I.L.D. is Better Understanding into Leadership Development and is offered through the Student Develop­ ment Center to provide students with an opportunity to strengthen their personal leadership skills in specific areas. Students can indentify topics of their choice and register for one session of workshops offered on those topics. "This is geared toward the general poplulation (on campus) and gives students who are not leaders a stepp­ ing stone to further leadership skills and improve themselves," Jones said. B.U.I.L.D. is scheduled to begin September 21 and "'ill consist of a variety of topics. Each of the six workshops is offered on an individual basis and will allow for hands on ex­ perience so students may practice con­ cepts they will have learned during the workshops. "These workshops are helping students get an edge and compete with bigger schools. I am a firm believer in leadership and believe leaders are made, not born. Students can be af­ fected when provided with such opportunities," Jones said.

It's and warm," student Lynn or8an said. Appearance is not the only difnce between the new Food Court e and the B.I. There are five sections of the Food Court which offer different types of food. The "Sugar and Spice" section opens at 7:30 a.m. weekdays and offers doughnuts and deserts. The other sections; "The Grill," "The Friar," "The Wok," and the "Deli," offer a range of choices in­ cluding fried chicken, hamburgers, a Chinese menu that changes daily, and cold sandwiches and salads. The menu is more limited than that of the B.I., however, according to the Director of Food Services Ron Dubberly, this was an intentional move designed to increase the quality of food served. "There is no holding equipment. The food is cooked as it is needed and goes straight from the grill to the stu­ dent," Dubberly said. Student reaction to the new Food Court seems relatively positive. Over 5,000 students were served last Thurs­ day compared to a total of 2,800 on the same day last year. The staff of the Food Court have been working overtime and assistance from the Gold Room and Cafeteria staff was needed to handle the lunch time rush. The Food Court was designed to handle an average of 4,000 students per day. "The staff really did a terrific job last week," Ron Dubberly said. "Our biggest problem right now is lack of staffing. We're trying to utilize stu­ dent labor and we have a lot of open­ ings in the Food Court and the Cafeteria." Director of Auxiliary Services Lin­ da Slate and Director of Food Ser­ vices Ron Dubberly developed the concept for the Food Court with the aid of a food services consultant. The consultant suggested that the B.I. be updated to better serve the students, and today's Food Court is the result. "I hope the students will enjoy and appreciate it," Dubberly said. The Food Court is located on the bottom floor of Welborn Hall and is open from 10:30 a.m. until 11:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The "Sugar and Spice" section is open from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., Mon­ day through Friday. appeals to Board of Adjustment By CHRISTY HART Appalachian siaff Writer Professor William Hutchins, along with a group of residents, is taking to the Superior Court an appeal on the decision of the Boone Board of Ad­ justment to allow a duplex develop­ ment to be built in their neighbor­ hood. One duplex went up this summer; a second structure is about to be built. A single driveway belonging to the Howells serves as access to the duplex. An agreement had been sign­ ed with the bank to allow access to the back lots before the first duplex was built. In an attempt to protect the Howells' property, Hutchins placed a Hutchins spent his summer in bid on the land.

The bank is considering plac­ ing a buisness parking lot there in­ stead. According to Hutchins, a business parking lot could not legally be placed there under the neighborhood's new zoning, or under the old. One result of the controversy this summer has been the rezoning of the greater Junaluska neighborhood from R-2 (single family and two-family dwell­ ings) to R-1A (single family dwellings with or without an apartment). "One of the reasons for rezoning is to make sure people who have lived in historical sections are not pushed out by developers," Hutchins said. According to Hutchins the appeal against the duplex is not directed toward students residing there. It is an effort to keep the neighborhood residential, legally placing only buildings that belong. �THk .4PPAI.ACH / A N . T H L ' K S D I >. Students decide whether or not By JON JIMISON Appalachian Vc»„ Kdilor H Appy's, ASU's student owned night club, might have its name changed to Legends if enough students want the change. H Appy's recently received $25,000 worth of remodeling including new Paintings, carpet and hanging lamps. There has been quite a bit of work there that makes it look far better," Director of Student Programs David Robertson said. With the remodeling, Vice- ' Chancellor for Student Development Dr. David Mclntyre wdtld like the students to decide whether the name should be changed to Legends to complete the new atmosphere. "This is a student facility and he (Mclntyre) really wanted the students to decide whether it should be renam­ ed or not," Robertson added. The university would like to see if enough support can be rallied for either leaving it or changing it. The following is a list of pros and cons for changing the name from H'Appy's to Legends. The list was composed by the Office of Student Programs and A.P.P.S.

The time when we place two can­ didates opposite one another and let them fire away. If you are a George Bush fan, you probably feel that things are just fine in America.. .almost. If Bush wins, maybe with a little fine tuning, things will be even better. If you have jumped on the Dukakis bandwagon, you may feel the country is in a lull. and needs to start moving forward again. The fact is, this year's race is nothing special. There are no big technical issues (the budget deficit and homelessness don't seem to count). Besides, the only people who seem to care about the issues anyway are political analysts on television. However, something else has popped upon the political horizon this year, or perhaps it has just reasserted itself.

It's Saturday night in Boone and all is well. The Goodbody family is get­ ting ready to go out for a quiet even­ ing — everyone except Willie. Willie is a freshman at ASU, but, he has chosen to live at home. Willie has planned a big party, I mean major event, behind his parents' (Gus and Faye) backs. Gus and Faye don't go in for the party thing. Ya know, booze, music and women. Well, Willie does and 15 minutes after his parents leave the house 60 of his closest friends show up. They throw the latest Jazzy Jeff tape and everyone begins dancing, talking and just being loud in general. Radios, Phonographs, etc.—the volume must not disturb any neighborhood in­ habitants. Yelling, Shouting, etc—must not be done on a public street, especially between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Animals, Birds, etc.—you can­ not keep any animal that will cause long and frequent noise and that will disturb your neighbors.

The character issue may be the only issue that most Americans are not apathetic towards. Is Bush a wimp? Is Dukakis nonpatriotic? Did Dan Quayle use family influence and is Lloyd Bentsen just a rich old man? Characters are important. The impor­ tant issue, however, should be what and how they are going to contribute to a new cycle of the presidency. This year, Americans seem to want their candidates to possess not only a squeaky clean character but also a vision of the future. Although the country is experienc­ ing its most prosperous period since Eisenhower and the 50s, many people are craving something more—a leader who can not only manage the country and Dukakis. By examining such minor flaws (if that is what they are), the media has shifted the populace's focus from the main issues. Bush has finally emerged from the shadow of the "wimp factor" only because the media has found more interest in Quayle's association with the National Guard. Did he dodge the Vietnam War or didn't he? Dukakis receives the same treatment. Did he undergo treatment for depression? Did his wife burn a flag during the war? On and on and on. By the time the candidates step into the limelight, all incidents are taken into account and nothing is withheld. Notably, however, the irony lies in the fact that the actual issues undergo the least amount of scrutiny. Hopefully, during the debates, peo­ effectively, but also lead and cap­ tivate the people into a collective vision of the future. How they plan to alleviate some of our problems does not matter as long as they have a vision. With dispelled notables like Meese, Nofzinger, Bakker and many others, Americans seem to desire a candidate who entails a great sense of honesty and integrity. In essence, they want one with no character flaws. We have groggily awakened to the diminishing values and morals that have purged the headlines: white collar greed, cor­ ruption and scandal on the political and religious scenes. People want an administration they can trust.

Bloom and Walters are charged with racketeering, mail fraud, wire fraud and extortion.

Prosecutors say Walters and Bloom induced athletes to defraud their schools by accepting cash and signing contracts in violation of NCAA rules, and then signing affidavits saying they had not broken any rules. Among the 35 schools defrauded were Michigan State, Notre Dame, Purdue and the Universities of Michigan and Illinois. Valukas said 43 college athletes who signed with Walther and Bloom avoided prosecutuon with pretrial agreements to preform community service and to reimburse protions of their scholarships to their universities. That group includes NFL players such as Ron Morris of Chicago, Ron­ nie Harmon of Buffalo and Paul Palmer of Kansas City and Brad Sellers of the National Basketball Association Chicago Bulls. All have agreed to testify against Walters and Bloom, authorities said. Bringing out the Kidd in Yosef The nation's schools, adds NEA Executive Director Don Cameron, need to prepare their graduates for an international economy that has made industrial-age education obsolete. Schools have to change to meet the economic, technological and sociological changes that are redefin­ ing America's workplaces. Appalachian State is riding a 19-game regular season Southern Conference unbeaten streak, the second longest in league history. Under Woods, ASU is 22-6-1 in league titles and since the beginn­ ing of the 1985 season, the Apps stand 20-1-1 in conference play. The last conference loss came at Furman in 1985 with ASU and Furman tying in 1986. Marshall handed ASU a 24-10 defeat in the I-AA playoffs, but it was not a league contest. ASU won the regular season conference con­ frontation over the Thundering Herd, 17-10. Yosef (Russ Gray) and App fans have had plenty to cheer about. Today, the United States ranks last among free world competitors in an­ nual economic growth per employed person, with a productivity rate cut in half since 1970, Harvard University economist Robert B. Reich has pointed out. In a paper delivered to a NEA na tional conference in April, Reich em­ phasized that education is the key to reversing that productivity decline. U.S. wealth and industrial strength may have been enough to guarantee that Americans would have an ever rising standard of living in the past, Reich noted, but that is no longer the case. "The challenge," Reich said, "is not to provide our children with more education, but to provide them with a different kind of education." Reich suggested that teachers and students "must be allowed and en couraged to take more initiative in deciding what is learned, and when and how it is learned." teat ontinued front Page 2 nues for research funding. 3r.

Carter, a former Ohio State player, was charged with perjury and obsturction of justice. "I am cooperating fully... and tensive research development. But till now, there has been really nothing — no viable idea at all to handle the situation before it becomes uncon­ trollable." Welch is not alone in his thinking. Researchers at Utah and Michigan State Universities affirm that the use of spores is not outside of the realm of possibility. They are currently working with a natural fungus whose spores detoxify DDT, the deadly chemical dioxin, and other poisons, resulting from modern industrial chemistry. Recently, U.S. industry was also able to develop a bacteria that lives on ocean oil spills. It may not be long before an airborne pollutant-eating bacterium could be developed. The problem is to design it so that it ex­ clusively eats pollutants, and when done with that, eats itself, and so vanishes. "It's obviously a situation that affects everyone of us on Earth. " Scott Welch Sr. Vice President Bridge Publications Welch is optimistic, though. "Our scientists are pretty good, actually, and taking a cue from L. Ron Hub­ bard's Mission Earth they may come up with something to handle the crises.

"The competition opened a lot of doors for us, and we are booked solid for the next two months because of it." Also, The Alligators recently recorded a six song demo tape entitled Rainy Day which is compiled of all original material. The band is heavily influenced by such greats as B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Robert Cray, and these influences show through in their original materials. As has already been emphasized, these guys definitely deserve a fair listen. If you are hell-bent to heed this advice, then you should watch the walls for flyers advertising Alligators shows at The Brewery and Fallout Shelter in Raleigh, the Double Doors Club in Charlotte (host to such greats as Stevie Ray Vaughn), and the Somewhere Else Tavern in Greensboro. Meanwhile, The Alligators have an upcoming date at Sollecito's you can catch soon. I, myself, put my preaching to practice and saw The Alligators for the first time Saturday night at the Klondike Cafe. To put this simply, they were great and their demo was great. This really is not a review of the show, but with seven dollars invested, need I say more? Chris Clapp jams on guitar. As winning season begins freshman finds Mountaineer football Community home away from home Freshman's first ASU football game is memorable By DARRYL N. PARKER, JR. Appalachian Slaff Writer Remember the feeling you got when you tailgated at your first ASU foot­ ball game? Best feeling in the world—college had finally started. I went to high school in a small town of about five stoplights. The closest movie theater was twenty miles away, beside the mall that we also didn't have. This was a small place. Our high school was the only one in the county and it had about 1,100 students. Football was a big thing and sometimes it seemed as if the whole town crunched into our stadium to see a good game. Last year's fans were top-notch in high school and made sure everyone knew it, especially at football games. We were the biggest fans our team had because we considered ourselves a part of the team. 1 came here and didn't know what to expect out of the tailgating partygoers I had heard so much about. The upperclassmen soon realized just how big on partying the freshman class is. We were soon adopted into the big­ gest fans the Mountaineers have—their classmates. I wasn't homesick for the tight-knit group of fans 1 left back in high school because I had found a bigger and better bun­ ch. I arrived at this past Saturday's game early and watched as crowds of students gathered on the lower I wasn 7 homesick for the tight-knit group of fans I left back in high school because I had found a bigger and better bunch. Dr. Rothschild spent summer studying homeside, even in the impending rain. The pre-game chants cranked up and whistled throughout the stadium. The cool afternoon breeze got cooler as it mixed with the rain. Umbrellas fell like a shroud over Kidd Brewer Stadium as the tempo of the rain in­ creased seemingly with the heat of the game. Some people were shivering and drinking coffee while others broke out their heavy jackets. The heavy jackets, stadium seats, ASU caps, T-shirts, pennants, black and gold umbrellas, painted faces, YOSEF, the cheerleaders doing push-ups, yellow and black soda cups, pizza, hotdogs, hamburgers, french fries and heartburn all showed up for the game. Col­ lege football season had arrived and it came in all its grandeur. I could feel tension, relief, anger and joy throughout the game. What helped the spirit even more was the demolition of the Citadel Bull puppies. The falling rain didn't pull the dedicated, die-hard fans away as they stayed to root the team on to a smashing victory. If we stay this motivated, we can send out guys to the top through school spirit alone. I'm ready for a rip-roaring season with the greatest team in the Southern Conference. I tell you, the freshmen are motivated and we are looking great on every scene. Helping businesses By DIANE WAI FY Appalachian Slaff Writer By TRACI GREENE Do'you ever feel like your pro­ fessors are living on easy street while you are slaving away to finish that 100th homework problem and cram for an exam? Appalachian Slaff Writer How many college students do you know who are planning to open their own business when they graduate? Whether you open your own business or come in any type of contact with so­ meone who does, you probably have the Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC) to thank. Barbara Lawrence heads the depart­ ment along with three graduate assistants. Lawrence, originally from Charlotte, N.C., graduated from ASU with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. She double-majored in Finance and Real Estate and Urban Analysis with a minor in Land Use Plann­ ing. In the past she has been self-employed, selling real estate and running several businesses. She presently owns a real estate research company with her hus­ band. When Lawrence read the job description for the SBTDC, she wanted it. Her past experiences and interests are what led her to apply. June 1 was the first day for her and also the first day for the center. Lawrence and her graduate assistants spend a great deal of their time travel­ ing to different counties to meet business clients. They help develop business plans and cash flow projects. Their services are charge free and everything is completely confidential. Executive Director Scott Dougherty refers to the center as North Carolina's best kept secret. It has doubled in clients since the beginning. "The air pollution in France is even worse than in Los Angeles. Several of the buildings and statues had been defaced by vehicle fumes and acid rain." Dr. Judith Rothschild This isn't the first time Dr. Rothschild has been to France for teacher-student interaction. The last time she was in France (1985) she tqught classes as a part of the business study abroad program. She and three other professors from ASU took several students to France and taught them in rented classrooms. Dr. Rothschild also planned to be a part of the program in 1986, however, President Reagan's order to bomb Libya drastically decreased the stu­ dent enrollment in the program andher services were not needed. Well, in the ASU French depart­ ment, sometimes even instructors must suffer through the hardships of being a student again. This year, Dr. Judith Rothschild has been assigned to teach a graduate course in the French department. In preparation for the teaching of this course, she traveled to France this summer. Dur­ ing her seven-week stay Dr. Rothschild attended classes every day in advanced French and corrective phonetics. She hopes the knowledge she gained will help her critique herself and her students. Dr. Rothschild stressed there are several differences between the educa­ tional systems of France and the United States. First, their high school urograms are generally more demand- The main purpose of the Center is to help North Carolina's growth. It is basically an outreach program in which students and faculty help the communi­ ty to grow and in return they learn how to work together. There are many facets to SBTDC. On the state level, assistant Ruth Turner is helping to establish international trade. In addition, there are 10 programs in the state which are high school pilot programs. There is also a special division to help businesses with patents and trade marks. Dr. Judith Rothschild ing. They have more subjects to study, take more hours and are assigned more homework. They at­ tend high school two years longer than we do. Also, French students must pass very challenging exams, (called the Baccalaureat) that lasts four grueling weeks, in order to at­ tend a university. Last, all the univer­ sities are run by the French govern­ ment making a college education more affordable. Reflecting on her trip this summer, Dr. Rothschild noted that she was struck by the many similarities bet­ ween young people in France and young people in our country. "There seems to be an internationalization of clothing styles and hair styles in France," she commented. She saw many young Parisians sporting t-shirts and sweatshirts embossed with American university insignias. Unfortunately, Dr. Rothschild said that most of the changes she noticed while in Paris were brought about by pollution. "The air pollution in France is even worse than in Los Angeles," she stated. Several of the building and statues had been defaced by vehicle fumes and acid rain, also. Overall, Dr. Rothschild really en­ joyed her stay in France. "I had set - up goals and I felt very satisfied with what I had accomplished," she con­ cluded.

William Leonard Eury Appalachian Collection These programs are funded through the U.S. Small Business Administration with the majority coming from the State Legislation. ASU is assisting by donating space and resources. An outside service has looked at SBTDC and taken a survey. The results show that every dollar spent on counseling was seven dollars for the communi­ tyAfter SBTDC helps a business, they ask the business to evaluate their ser­ vices. This gives the center an opportunity to find what they are doing right or wrong. Presently the center is helping almost forty businesses throughout North Carolina. The committee of 100 formed in Watauga County, recently received a grant from the state to build a business incubator center. Its purpose is to help young companies with support services and ways to lessen expense operating cost during the first few years. These particular businesses have a higher success rate.

IVS.S Meet the Media Special interview with Rhododendron Editor-in-Chief Bal\{ B> ANGIE CHKSNUT Appalachian Staff Writer Have you ever met someone you liked instantly and enjoyed talking to very much? Someone who was aware and serious and yet off-beat wacky at the same time? Well, recently I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting someone just like this. Her name is Robin Ballew and she is editor-inchief of The Rhododendron. W hat is so refreshing about Robin is that she is very open and direct, although rather modest about howshe obtained her position. "The job sort of fell into my lap," she said. "I was the only one who applied." She is quick to add, "I am sure other people in the office would have applied, but I wanted it very badly, and I guess they knew I did. I would have done anything to get it." Robin is a creative young lady (Just ask her to let you read her blue bubble story. V ou will see what I mean), and loves the creative aspect of her job. "1 am able to publish my friends' work and some of my own. It's very exciting." She feels, however, the manage­ ment aspect of her job is the toughest part. "Being in charge of someone Yearbook Editor, Robin Ballew ways-talking and dressing and doing different kinds of things.' Once she pierced her nose, but that's another story. "I want the book (7he Rhodo) to be different and interesting, and I think it will be." I tried to get Robin to give me a hint as to what the theme for this year's yearbook would be, but she was hard to crack and evaded that line of questioning. Instead, she told of things we could expect in the upcom­ ing Rhodo. "...Expect more people photos with names, expect a complete index of all students, and." she else's time is hard," she said. "1 am always afraid they will think I am be­ ing unfair. I want everyone to like me." Robin seems genuinely con­ cerned about this. "I don't like to make people do things, but 1 realize that 1 have to be a good editor, so I do." Robin puts in a lot of time at work, and there is very little room for anything else. But she manages. She is a Chancellor's Scholar and a member of Alpha Chi Honor Society, so she is busy keeping up her grades. Robin enjoys reading new authors such as Steven King and Tom Robbins. She also likes sewing. "1 sew some of the pieces in my wardrobe," she said. "It i; a way to individualize my clothing.. .and it is cheaper, too." Another spare-time activity is tak­ ing Finny the Iguana for walks on the Parkway. (This is my personal favorite.) Robin laughs as she talks about her pet. "She has a little blackstudded collar that I made for h?r. She looks so cute!" Robin enjoys being unique and she makes a conscious effort to bring this quality to The Rhododendron.

Don't Leave School Without It? Intramural Captains Meeting- In­ tramural Co-Rec Captains Meeting at 7 p.m. at Quinn Center racquetball court no. 8 on Wednesday, September 14. Quinn center celebrates birthday The Dwight W. Quinn Recreation Center celebrated its first birthday last Wednesday. Balloons and streamers were hung for the occasion, and a "Happy Birthday" tape played over the intercom. In addition, Rick Mosher, the 200,00 person who entered the Quinn Center was honored with an Intramural Cham­ pion tee shirt. Mosher, an ASU junior majoring in pre-law, was taken by surprise at the entrance, unaware that the Quinn Center was celebrating its birthday. "I had no idea what was going on un­ til I saw the streamers and the "Hap­ py Birthday" sign," he said. Mosher, like other ASU students, has taken advantage of the Quinn Center's health club atmosphere which is extended to the campus com­ munity at no charge. I work out on the weight machines here about five nights a week, he said. "Even though the weight room is crowded at times, there is a wide variety of equipment available to the people who like to work out," he said. The director of the department of Recreation, Intramurals, and Club Sports, Dr. Jim Avant, has seen the number of participants in activities at the Quinn Center grow steadily since the doors first opened last August. Mosher feels the Quinn Center has changed his lifestyle. He believes that all of the ASU community should ex­ perience the benefits the Quinn Center has to offer. "The participation by faculty, staff, and especially students has ex­ ceeded all expectations, and at the present time, we are having to put restrictions on the number of people who can use the facility at certain times," Avant said. "The fitness craze is accelerating so fast that 1 doubt if we will be able to keep up with it," he said. "I think everybody should at leact come out and see what is over here. The fitness craze is growing and peo­ ple should enjoy free workouts while they can," he said. "Besides, if you try the facility once, you'll probably return for more of the fun," he add­ ed. Other executive staff members in­ clude William Ehling, assistant direc­ tor; Dan Duncan, coordinator of facilities and fitness; Sharon Hasman, administrative assistant; and Jan Freel, executive secretary. The Quinn Center has enjoyed a prosperous first year and staff members hope that future years will offer just as much fun and fitness to participants. Community service needs you By DEBBIE ATKINSON Special l» The Appalachian As the semester gets underway, you will undoubtedly be inundated with invitations from clubs, groups and organizations. Many will offer a good time, valuable experience and all will want you. Remember, as you choose your ac­ tivities, that your time is valuable and you have much to offer. This com­ munity, as well, has much to offer. ASU's Student Community Service Project wants you, but also NEEDS you. The hobbies, skills, ideas and time that you have to share are valuable resources that can make a major impact on someone elses life. Last year, 113 ASU and Watauga High School students provided 3,303 ours of volunteer service to lowincome residents of Watauga County through this project. For a generation that is constantly labeled as apathetic, that is commendable. As an ASU graduate myself, I can tell you that some of the richest and most memorable experiences of your college career may well lie outside this campus, in the community. Each of you possess special qualities that can enrich this com­ munity and your life if you give yourself the opportunity to develop them. Volunteers with this project serve in a wide range of activities including: touring, delivering meals, providing transportation, telephone counseling, companionship, household chores, modeling living skills, carpentry, weatherization and child care. Other tasks are developed based on volunteers' abilities and community needs. As a Student Community Service Project (SCSP) volunteer you will meet new people, learn new skills, gain exposure to new career oppor­ tunities and develop your potential in ways you may never have dreamed. But, possibly more important, you will leave a part of yourself here, forever, when you graduate and move on with your life. The Fall volunteer training session will be held on September 10 from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Before being trained all volunteers must complete an applica­ tion and interview. Application and information may be obtained in the SCSP office, 6F (Basement) Chapell Wilson Hall, Social Work Program. For more in­ formation please drop by or call 262-2764. To understand much of what we're doing with respect to cancer research, you'd need a graduate degree in microbiology or biochemistry. But to understand how well our educational programs and service resources help both patients and their families, simply talk to one out of every 100 Americans who are part of our volunteer program. Or talk to one of the 3 million who've survived cancer. The battle isn't over but we are winning. AMERICAN CANCER Please support the American SOCIETY Cancer Society.

DIVERSIONS BSA Gospel Choir hits the right notes By LYNN JEFFERS Appalachian Staff Writer Bill Cosby overrated There's a line in Jesus Christ Superstar that goes "I remember vhen this whole thing began/No alk of God then, they called you a nan/And remember, my admiration or you hasn't died—" Yes, you guessed it, I'm talking about Bill Cosby, Superstar. Let's jet out of our Fords, put down our Cokes, stop licking our Pudding Pops and eating our Jello, and all .hout together "OVEREX­ POSURE!!" They say you can't be too rich or oo thin, byt let me be the first to ontradict that by proclaiming Mr. :osby too rich. He sure as hell ain't oo thin. Look at the Cosby Show these lays. I mean, can he be for real? ! remember when it began. It was vitty, funny, innovative and totally lifferent. The other black sitcoms up to that time were obnoxious. Remember the likes of Good Times, The Jeffersons, What's Happen in'? and That's My Mammal I think I can safely say they all suceed more at being obnoxious than being funny. That's why 1 left out Sanford and Son, which 1 think managed to be funnier than obnox­ ious. And those programs all showed common themes: poverty, lots of shouting, universally stupid white people and buckets o' put-downs. Not a one was written above the level of a twelve-year-old, including Sanford and Son. When the Cosby Show came along, we were given our first por­ trayal of blacks as just folks. Not ghetto-dwellers, or cocky rich loud­ mouths, but just folks. And it was witty, really clever. The entire cast was funny, and the scripts were intelligent. In short, it was something different and it deserved the ratings it got. Then sometime during the second ar third season, I started getting bored with it. They were still doing the same things they did the first season and it was just plain getting dull. Then they started having episodes -entering around Heathcliff or -laire s parents every other week. I tve next door to my grandparents, tnd I don't find them dull, but I vouldn't want to see them on TV, tither. And then there's sitting through Heart's graduation for most " an episode.

Little l0« he know that he will find the nse of it in the Twilight Zone." e Mr. Willie Fleming, director of the Black Student Asociation Gospel Choir, is enthusiastic about the year he has planned for the choir, and with good reason. The choir has managed to retain a full 70 percent of it's members from last year. With the remaining portion being lost to graduation, he stresses the need for new talent, and en­ courages freshmen and upperclassmen alike to audition for the group. His goal is a membership of approximately 60 people. (Did you hear that all you aspiring sopranos out there?) Fleming recalls forming the choir in 1975 and describes weekly meetings as a bright spot in a hectic academic schedule. He regards membership in the choir as a "select privilege" and cautions it should not in any way be looked upon as an "ethnic respon­ sibility." He encourages students to participate in the choir as an outlet for their cultural identities relating to their heritages. Mr. Fleming strives to maintain a diversified group of singers by incor­ porating Contemporary and Pro­ gressive Jazz into their repetoire. This gives the performers opportunities to identify their own personal areas of interest and excellence.

In order to buy robes, the group plans a fund-raising car wash and a variety show. There are a number of concerts and tours planned for the group this year. They are scheduled to perform for Parent's Weekend on September 25, for a Christmas concert on December 11, and on their anniversary in April. The group will tour selected cities in North Carolina over the course of the year with tentative stops including Shelby, Winston-Salem, Charlotte and Raleigh. Last year during Spring Break, the group traveled to Nassau, Bahamas for an annual trip where they per­ formed benefit concerts that raised $25,000 to build a wing on an elemen­ tary school in the Bahamas. This year, their annual trip pro­ mises to be just as show stopping. At Thanksgiving the Choir will travel to Atlanta, Georgia where they will at­ tend the National Black College Music Workshop. En route, they will tour portions of North Carolina and South Carolina. Members will have the opportunity to compete and learn from great black artists such as TreSee CHOIR Page 11 RumulM Linnev's "Heathen Valley", the first production of the fall season, starts September 2R University Theatre begins awsome new season A new play set in the mountains of North Carolina will be the first pro­ duction of the 1988-89 University Theatre season.

Whether it was a two-step or an old waltz, the music made me want to get up and dance in the aisles. During intermission, the audience was treated to some authentic Cajun dishes such as Creole, gumbo and rice. After the break, the group and au­ dience were ready to get down. Doucet told the diverse crowd there is a "law" in Louisiana against people sitting down while listening to Cajun music. This provoked the audience to get up and move. Appalachian Staff Writer In a concert sponsored by the Special Performing Arts Series, Beausoleil introduced many people to the sounds of Cajun Music. The Cajun sound is a mixture of Creole, medieval French, New Orleans Jazz and island music accor­ ding to lead vocalist Michael Doucet. The «roup has been featured as a regular guest on National Public Radio's "Prairie Home Companion," with Garrison Keillor, who describes the band as "the best Cajun band in the world." They have also appeared on MTV's "The Cut­ ting Edge." Beausoleil is compsed of five members: Michael Doucet on fiddle, Errol Verret on accordian, David Docucet on Guitar, Tommy Alesi, percussion and Tommy Comeaux on the dobro and mandolin. Since their start ten years ago, Beausoleil has performed in Carnegie Hall, The Lincoln Center, for The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and for the Edinburg Festival in Scotland. They have released nine albums containing Cajun music, including some music off "The Big Easy" soundtrack. Michael Doucet, a folklorist who likes to bring Cajun Folklore into their performance, started the evening with a couple dry jokes before laun­ Travis is still himself By ERIC D. MILLER D.VlI Appalachian Staff Writer jt,'|'S,e^ms "ke the Cosby Show is a my columns; no matter low „ also gives the group a well-rounded capability and sound. When Randy Travis' Storms of Life album came out a few years ago, it caused quite a stir in the country music industry. Here was a guy sing­ ing traditional country music. No strings, no synthesizers, no rockin' guitars, just plain and simple country songs. Since then Travis, along with others such as Ricky Skaggs and Dwight Yoakom, has started a traditionalist movement in country music. His se­ cond album, Always and Forever helped to sustain his popularity and to keep the traditionalist movement alive. With his newly released album, Old 8x10, Travis sends an obvious signal that he has no plans to change his style. Old 8x10 is not, however, quite up to par with his First two albums. The new album follows the pattern of the first two. There are three songs which are targeted to be singles, Honky Tonk Moon, Is it Still Over?, and Written in Stone. Travis co-wrote two of the songs, which are both slow ballads, It's Out of My Hands and Promises. Old 8x10 does have its good points. Honky Tonk Moon, featuring an upbeat sound and wonderful piano solo, is a solid single in helping to pro­ mote the album. Also, Travis expands his musical horizons a bit with The Blues in Black and White, a country blues track on which clarinets can be heard in the background. The only annoying thing about the song is that one chord (played on the ching into the first set. I was prepared for Cajun music, but my friends were not. Some people were surprised to hear music so close to our own Appalachian blue-grass The music was fun and the folklore fascinating, though sometimes unbelievable. Unfortunately at times the music got so loud, that whoever was singing tended to get drowned out. Despite the upbeat rhythms, the songs did become monotonous, especially if you didn't understand French. However, if you're in a mood to have some fun, Cajun music is perfect. Just don't try to figure out what they are saying! What's Up word white) just doesn't Fit (for technically minded readers—it should be a minor chord.) On the plus side, several of the songs have clever lyrics. For example, " Is it still over? Are we still through? Since the phone still ain't ringin' I'll assume it still ain't you," from Is it Still Over. Another one, "Now my whole world's in one 8x10, with four metal walls holding it in," from the title track. Some songs, such as Writ­ ten in Stone are simply likable with no explanation. But, the album is plagued with problems. The biggest complaint I have is the album, overall is inconsis­ tent. The last three songs on the album are about as bad as anything I've heard in quite a while. So, why put them at the end of the album? September 8—A.P.P.S. film: Fatal September 14—A.P.P.S.

Trivia: Peter Murphy is the former singer of Bauhaus and one shot deal |Dali's Car. His idols are David Bowie and Iggy Pop. Once a "gothic" figure, he now proves himself as a Renaissance man with his versatility land attitudes. Bauhau is known for its first single 'Bela Legosi's Dead" which was released in 1979. The band had been formed by the fusion of the NorthHampton punk band The Submerged I Tenth and The Craze. In 1986, Peter Murphy released his first solo album "If The World [Should Fail To Fall Apart." This LP [lacked the Bauhaus "sound," but did not discourage listeners. Instead, it [increased his notoriety in both the col­ lege radio scene and with the heavy hitters of the underground. Peter had [matured and it is evident in his solo I work. Love Hysteria is an intense and refined album. The production is discreet and professional. Peter con­ ducted this particular group of musi[cians well which is probably admired [by many in the music biz. The LP as a |whole will catch you off guard at first. Once you've listened to it three or four times, it'll be difficult to file the [thing in your collection. The first cut is my personal [favorite. "All Night Long." (I wish I [could ask Peter why he named this [one with the same title as a Lionel Ritchie song.) As a nightclub/dance tune, it rates among the best. The [lyrics describe an emotion that anyone can relate to—yearning. A yearning for perfection is heard in Peter's voice, and the theme seems to |be that we only have hope to live for. The second cut "His Circle And Hers Meet" is a take-off from Japan genre (Japan is the band that [influenced Duran Duran in the [1970s.) The title alone should be [recognized; hundreds of images race through my mind as I reread it. This [bouncy, aggressive tune allows Peter to let it go before diving back into his new dimension of thoughts. It's not necessarily a spin-off from "Girls on [Film," and you'll notice the song prepares you for the rest of the [album. A sort of washing-the-slateJclean happens and you're left with leuriosity and anticipation. A sweet melody is then played at the start of "Dragnet Drag" as Peter reflects upon days gone by. It is a love song that is sick of love. Love is too large for one man to handle. Peter realizes that he is stuck with love anyway. He tries to rationalize love, but all he can come up with are metaphors of contradiction. photographer and naturalist who has worked aboard the (^ousteau ship, Calypso, on whale research projects and deep-sea studies. The Office of Student Programs will present their annual Forum Series addressing the theme topic, "Issues of Conscience." The Series is free and open to the public and features five major speakers. On October 20, Mitch Snyder will discuss "Homelessness in America." Snyder left a $50,000 a year Madison Avenue job and went to the streets where he became a spokesperson for the homeless. His story was made into a 1986 tv movie on CBS, starring Mar­ tin Sheen. Former top fashion model, Maria Hanson, will come and speak November 16. Hanson was attacked and her face brutally slashed with a razor by men her landlord hired. She was further treated brutally by the judge and court during the trial of her accused slasher. Since then Hanson has been a oneperson support group for victims of other violent crimes. She will speak on "Victim's Rights," November 16. On December 8, punk rock singer Jello Biafra, former lead singer of the Dead Kennedys, will present "The Spoken Word Performance." Biafra an outspoken critic of government censorship, especially in the music in­ dustry, will discuss recent campaigns to remove supposedly pornographic and offensive record albums from the shelves of stores. On April 11, the Cousteau Society's David Brown will talk on "Threats to the Global Ocean." Brown is a "Socrates The Python" is the last cut of side one. This song is the closest Peter has gotten to the Bauhaus image since their breakup. It is a logical, predictable tune with an Egyptian edge. Led Zeppelin fans may enjoy this "Kasmir" rhythm. He challenges us with his philosophy and vast knowledge of the prophets and wisemen. (But he fails to mention Jean Sartre!) Side two begins with "Indigo Eyes," a happy and sometimes over confident tune. The bongo drums and beckoning guitar make this song approachable and listenable. I'm inclined to think this one was written in vain. Peter's eyes look like expen­ sive turquoise jewelry. "Time Has Got Nothing To Do With It" rips you open and makes you redefine your direction. The orchestra plays a humble melody as Peter sings about experience and its relationship to age. "Illusion is the pain. Time has got nothing to do with it." WE'RE FIGHTING FOR VOUR LIFE The third cut on side two is titled "Blind Sublime." Simple Minds could easily cover this pop tune. It reminds me of their song "Alive and Kicking"—guitar rifts and a beat that won't quit. The tone in Peter's voice gives a false impression, so very close to the title's meaning. The Cousteau Society was formed by explorer, environmentalist, and pioneer in scuba technology, Captain Jacques Cousteau, to promote public understanding of the world around On April 20 the Forum Series con­ cludes with Dr. Paul Ehrlich who will speak on "Population, Environment, Extinctions—Science and Ethics. Ehrlich is the professor of Population Studies at Stanford University. He has studied over-population and the possible effects of nuclear war. He has also been featured on several television specials and news reports. In addition to these five major speakers, the Forum Series will host a variety of small-scale presentations co-sponsored by different depart­ ments on campus. Among them will be a special presentation of The World Came, on September 10. Developed by Buckminster Fuller, The World Game focuses on an ex­ tremely accurate, giant map of the world. It will cover the entire floor of Varsity Gym and participants will use the map to solve world problems. For a complete schedule of Forum events, call Sharon Trivette at 262-3032. American Heart Association "My Last Two Weeks" is a song of remorse and deep sadness. The piano echos while Peter croons as if the world is crashing arpund him, he stares at the sun setting and then sud­ denly, the feeling of emptiness pum­ mels him to the floor. Stray influences of Brian Eno's "Music for Airports" creep between Peter's voice and the piano seduction. The last cut shakes you from the trance. It's a cover originally done by Iggy Pop called "Fun Time." Buzzsaw guitar and grinding bass destroy the harmony of the album, which is a relief. Nobody knows more than Peter that there's a time to be serious and there's a time to party. 10% discount $1.00 beers Brawny Lad Jk Steak Sandwich itinued $019 -'Ob/e Lunch menu served 11-9 daily House Special. , . $3.50 served with Ham, Swiss, Roast Beet, Lettuce, Tomato and French Fries.

However, their programs survived the adversity and will be featured on North Carolina and South Carolina Public television. A special premiere was shown^at^Bro^hill Music Center Augusfi* r > ^1 Why make a documentary on hair? Because most people are fascinated with their own hair and spend more lime worrying about their hair (or lack of) than they'd like to admit. These videos show just how much people fret over their hair and how important hair is in our culture. Murphy, a professor in the Cur­ riculum and Instruction department, and Balling, an instructor in the Com­ munication Arts department, started shooting footage for the video during the summer of 1987. At first they thought the documentary would be one program but decided to change it into two after differences in opinions. "This is not a competition," Bail­ ing stressed during the premiere. "This is the expression of creative ^energy of two people. The videos tell a lot about each one of us," Balling said. The two programs share similar footage but address the subject of hair from different angles. Murphy's 'Talk Hair Talk" takes more of a humorous approach than Balling's spiritual approach in "Strands." Many local people were featured in the videos including Dr. Art Skibbe, Dr. John Foster West, Wendy Sykes and Barbara Freyermuth providing some interesting contrasts. One of the most creative and effec­ tive scenes was the contrasting inter­ view with Sykes and Freyermuth. I reyermuth, who works in Academic Aftairs, and Sykes, a student in the CMA department, offered opposing views on hair. Freyermuth was 1 dmed, combing her hair in a bathroom at the Administration building, and Sykes was filmed, cut­ ting her hair in her apartment. Both _ m is1 - women talked of hairstyles mention­ ing styles such as the beehive and shaved heads, showing the vast amount of variance in opinion on this sensitive subject. Murphy and Balling traveled to New York City, Morehead City and Greensboro to interview people; Thir­ ty minutes, of- footage-made it dm® each documentary out of the 15 hours of videotape shot. The videos were self-produced and "Talk Hair Talk" features the music of Lee Daniels and Daved Faires.

Cremins has found success at every stop along his college coaching trek. He has also Bobby Cremins is indeed a unique individual. Unlike a lot of collegiate coaches, Cremins has constantly maintained a tremendous rapport with his players. He has been able to reach a personal level with them that has created an ideal coaching situa­ tion. Cremin's players want to win for him because they simply like him.

Perhaps disproportionate is an ade­ quate word to describe Cremins. After all, he did go to college at the University of South Carolina after be­ ing raised in New York. He became a head basketball coach at the tender age of 27. And if that wasn't enough, Cremins took a lowly ASU basketball doormat and won three Southern Conference Championships. With this remarkable "about-face" coaching job, Cremins was named Coach of the Year three consecutive seasons. Cremins' first team, commented on Cremins' personality. "I don't know why we liked him so much. Hell, we questioning my abilities during long drives up the mountain after a tough road loss, but everyone stuck by me and never doubted my ability," he said.

Cremins felt as much admiration for ASU as the university does for him. r"uu C^OWD GOES WILD: Georgia Tech Head Basketball Coach Bobby Cremins was inducted into the ASU Hall of Fame at Saturday's Citadel game. Producers coin first Sparky Woods Show a success By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Staff Writer The Sparky Woods Show opened on Wednesday night with highlights and interviews from Saturday's vic­ tory over The Citadel. In-studio host Jon Pritchett was happy with the outcome of the first show. "I was pleased," he said. "We have talented people here," Pritchett said. Along with highlights and inter­ views of the victory, Steve Gill, the out-of-studio host, did two feature stories. One on Bjorn Nittmo, the Mountaineer place kicker, and one on John Settle, former ASU running back and current running back for the Atlanta Falcons. Coach Sparky Woods was impress­ ed with the students' work. "We want to be the best in athletics as we are in the communications department," he said. A lot of work went into the 30-minute program. "Steve (Gill) and I started last April, and we worked on and off it during the summer," Pritchett said. I stayed up late the past two nights get­ ting ready for the premiere," he add­ ed. The first show had slight problems in certain areas. "Everyone involved here is a col­ lege student," Pritchett said. "Once the staff works together more, the show is going to be very good," he said. The show is just the beginning for Pritchett and Gill. They now have to sell the show to different television stations to broadcast. "We have been to Atlanta, and I think we have the confidence to walk and sell what we have," Gill said. "We want to be the best in athletics as we are in the communications department." Coach Sparky Woods Each week the show will feature a special guest. This week's guest was Bill Zadeits, sports director for WASU. Gill, Pritchett and Zadeits discuss­ ed the game and made their predic­ tions for the Southern Conference race. Gill went with his heart, giving Appalachian the edge over Marshall. Zadeits, on the other hand, gave Mar­ shall the nod over the Mountaineer squad. After this show, there will be a three-week delay until the next one. For the remainder of the season, the Sparky Woods Show will travel to every game except the UTC matchup. The reason for not covering these twp shows is due to lack of funding. "We have no funds," Gill said. Gill and Pritchett commented that if someone could provide the needed money for travel that they would be more than willing to go to those two games. Gill was impressed with the dedica­ tion of the people who made the first show possible. "Although there were a few problems with the first show, we had a bunch of people who have never worked together before," Gill said. Pritchett, too, was very com­ plimentary of the people who helped make the first show possible. "So many people, between 20 to 25 people, have helped," Pritchett said "These people are motivated, and I would really like to thank everybody," he added. The Sparky Woods Show will be seen on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 7:30 p.m. on channel 32. With two weeks to work out the small details, both Pritchett and Gill feel the next show showing highlights of the Gardner-Webb game will show vast improvement.

Of course, the B.I. no longer exists, thank God, and when Mike was going to school there was no alcohol in Boone. As far as the weather is concerned, well, let's just say it's not the sunniest place to be. Ramsey was very happy with the changes in the community and he was especially enthused about the football program. "I can't say enough about the changes that have been made in the athletic program here," he said. Since ending his career a few years ago due to a chronic ankle problem that has bothered him for years, Ramsey has found a new career. He is hosting a talk show on a television station in the St. Louis area. It is a new experience for him. "I started doing this in May, and I'm starting to feel more comfortable with the whole broadcasting industry," he admitted. He interviews different sports stars from all over, and fans can call in and ask questions. "I can't get any Cardinals on the show yet because since I've been doing the show, they've been playing. I've had a lot of St. Louis Blues on the show," Mike said. Imagine a former baseball player interviewing hockey stars.

SI PTFMill K k. /WW Soccer team wins first two games By DOUG DEWAR Appalachian Slaff Writer In their first two games of the season, the ASU soccer team has shown their strength as a winning team by handily defeating Warren Wilson 6-0 and upsetting a strong UNC-G team 2-1 in overtime. In their first game last Thursday against Warren Wilson, the Apps completely overpowered their oppo­ nent with a powerful offensive attack and strong defensive play that left our team unscored upon in their season opener. The goals were spread out with the exception of two goals scored by Hank Coppedge. A penalty kick was scored by Kris Swenson while the other goals were scored by Trinidadian Carlos Lee, newcomer Jason Levrgood, and Brian Flynn, last year s leading scorer. The first game showed that the Mountaineer soccer team has the offensive strength to be a high scoring team this year and the defense to back it up as well. The second game, which will pro­ bably be one of the most exciting and most remembered games of the season, was an upset of 2-1 over UNC-G on Sunday. This game, which was also away, proved to be very physical from the beginning. Ten minutes into the game, Mike Dehner was put out of the game by the overaggressive play of their opponents. The scoring began with a goal from UNC-G, but the Apps surged back 31 seconds later to tie the game up with a penalty kick taken by Chris Frey. The rough play continued throughout the game and by the end of the first two halves, two UNC-G players had been thrown out of the game with the score tied at 1-1. The game then progressed through two overtime periods of aggressive play by both teams until John Cerak scored the winning goal on an assist by Chris Frey to give the Apps the 2-1 victory. This win was a majoi upset and a well-deserved victory for the Apps. ASU has not beaten UNC-G in six tries and UNC-G has not lost an opening game since 1980, all of which make the win more meaningful. The defeat of Warren Wiison and the upset over UNC-G demonstrate that our soccer team has begun a suc­ cessful season and may very well pro­ duce one of their best records ever. The soccer team will travel to Virginia Tech on Thursday to battle the Hoakies. Saturday, the team will have their first home game of the season against Campbell. This game should prove to be an exciting match up. Students are encouraged to come out to Kidd Brewer Stadium at 2 p.m. on Saturday and support what may be one of Appalachian's most impressive soccer teams. CitadeL Continued from Page 1 On Appalachian's second series ot the game, Fuller guided the offense 84 yards in 10 plays to put the Apps on the Scoreboard first. The drive in­ cluded only two pass plays and culminated with a two-yard TD plunge by tailback Ritchie Melchor. Nittmo added the PAT to make the score 7-0 at the end of the first quarter. I• m Mm* ki sf After a 62-yard scoring drive by the Bulldogs that knotted the score at 7-7, the ASU offense regained control of the ballgame. ASU took possession of the ensuing kickoff at their own 25. The Moun­ taineers proceeded to gain 75 yards on six straight running plays, including a 31-yard scamper by Melchor. Two plays later, tailback Kevin Armstrong put the Apps up for good with a sixyard scoring run. The Citadel offense was immediate­ ly stifled by the Mountaineer defense and forced to punt. Mark Moore then blocked the 25th punt in the Apps last 40 games. The block set up Nittmo's 51-yard field goal which put the Apps up 17-7. Li L<| "We tried to bring a lot of intensity into this game," We wanted to try and hold them to short gains and put them into third-and-long situations," defensive lineman Jimmy Snowden said. "I told Bobby (Cremins) that I thought this was the best quarterback play we've had since I've been here, " Woods stated. UI don't want a lot of hype.

He rounded out his baseball knowledge with a little gift for all us sports lovers... Mike Ramsey's picks for the World Series. "I like the Mets in the National League and the A's in the American I eague," he said. So, Mike Ramsey continues to love the game that is known as America's pastime. Being a former ballplayer (lifetime .156 hitter), it gave me great pleasure to talk to a player who can back up his mouth with statistics. Mike Ramsey should be very proud of the way he represented himself and Appalachian State University. He worked hard, had fun and has a big fat ring on one of his fingers. Most of all, he is one of the best, if not the best, baseball players to ever play here and he is every bit deserving of the ASU Athletic Hall of" Fame. ^Congratulations Mike. if Footbait prognostications SABR1NA SELLS The Appalachian Sports Editor Saturday, Sept. 10 AUBREY HOOVER JERRY SNOW The Appalachian Watauga Democrat Asst.

Mark Williams LastTemptation film won't be shown in two Boone theaters Carmike Cinemas owns the Appalachian Theater and Chalet Triple Theater, and in a recent article in the Watauga Democrat, theater manager C.J. Hayes stated that the film will not be shown in either theater. Perhaps the management and owner of the Flick Theater will turn out to be more perceptive and knowledgeable about the contents of the First Amendment—FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Various fundamentalist groups feel that by simply showing this film in a theater, everyone will attend, and everyone will undoubtedly be corrupted. Should harsh reactions and feelings concerning this film be forced on people by this radical group of "do-gooders?" How can a person form a reasonable opinion on a film that cannot be easily viewed? The United States is supposedly a free country. People have the freedom to come and go as they please and no one is forced into seeing movies which they do not wish to see. Why, then, should those individuals who wish to see The Last Temp­ tation of Christ be deprived of this freedom? Appalachian State University is known as an institution of higher education, and it is therefore ironic that this important work cannot be viewed by students who wish to broaden their education. This censorship is a slap in the face to the American viewing audience because it suggests that we are not capable of forming our own opinions and beliefs. Whatever happened to the concept of freedom of religion? If those duals who call themselves Christians are truly that, then no film should alter their perceptions of Christ and his actions. Furthermore, the film could eventually become a great religious instructional tool for scholars in years to come, simply because it is the first film of it s magnitude to be made in a number of years f B e 3 6 C h °° S e " 0 t 1 0 r e l e a s e t h e f i l m < t h e university t ' ,, °™ -l!?

I cited specific cases where crimes were excused by diplomatic immunity and never came to trial. As was previously implied in my last article, however, diplomatic immunity is only the tip of the iceberg. In America's domestic legal system, race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, and ideology are increasingly being accepted as legitimate excuses for violent criminal acts. This is evident in the rulings of major court cases throughout the country. None of these cases were of civil disobedience where unjust, tyrannical laws were broken to test their legitimacy. Rather, in all of the cases, just laws protecting life, liberty, and property were broken and the lawbreakers used their various excuses to evade punish­ ment, many times successfully. The precedents set in these cases are dangerous for more reasons than one. On last word from Robeson Coun­ ty, NC, the defense attorneys for Ed­ die Hatcher and Timothy Jacobs are planning an interesting variation on the classic necessity defense when their trial comes up. The defense of Hatcher and Jacobs that they plan to use runs as follows: The reason Hatcher and Jacobs took sawed-offed shotguns and held 17 ter­ rified, innocent people hostage at the Robesonian newspaper was so that they could dramatize their belief that prominent citizens were dealing drugs ©1988 By and blacks and Indians were being Both a lie and irrelevant in any October of 1982, potesters agaiiw discriminated against in Robeson event, this bigoted defense was not Honeywell Corporation's manufe County.

MILLER v Appalachian Columnist You've all heard the jokes about Dan Quayle: "Where was Georgeout hunting Quayle." Or, "A Quayle in the hand is worth two in the Bush." But who is this guy Dan Quayle anyway, and why did Bush pick him to be an extension of his campaign persona? Why did the press hound Mr. Quayle so about his past? And, why aren't all these allegations hurt­ ing the republicans in the polls? Well, the first question is fairly easy to answer. Just pick up any magazine and you can find out more than you ever wanted to know about Dan Quayle. Quayle is a young, wealthy Indiana senator. He has a wife Marilyn, and three children. Quayle graduated from Depauw University, as well as from Indiana School of Law. As for why the press hounds Quayle so, I can only answer with my opinion. Whenever a relative newcomer bursts into the public spotlight the media finds out everything they possibly can. When they started digging for information on Quayle they found a lot, it's that simple. They found out that throughout his education Quayle made grades which were average, at best. The reporters also discovered that many of his pro­ fessors in political science (Quayle's undergraduate major), thought he should not graduate from Depauw But^hf5 bn aKmi"ed d" ? really t0 law scho°'- '8 story the reporters "Itraconservative'on1 de?ensp'e' 30 had apparently used hi rSSUe,S' a m 'ly influence to join the nati - — j 111 uic national gut and w .

CLEMONS Appalachian Columnist The film, The Last Temptation of Christ, has caused a large controversy in our Christian society. In this particular picture, Christ •makes outrageous statements such as "1 am a sinner," "Satan is inside of me," and many other vain statements. He has an affair with Mary, his mother, and later makes remarks about worshipping her body. While on the cross, he fantasizes about a sexual relationship with Mary Magdalene. Now, those who believe in the Lord • and Savior Jesus Christ know this is a completely false doctrine and could be considered ludicrous. This type of screen play must be stopped in its early stages. Christians cannot sit idle and allow a movie of this nature to come to our area. It could destroy the hopes of many potentially saved souls who might come to accept Jesus as their Savior. The Lord said he will not be made a mockery of. ' Everything the Lord came down to earth for is voided in this picture. We know Jesus''was of the flesh and that he walked among men just as you and 1 do. He was tempted, no doubt, but he did not yield to temptation. The Bible states this clearly. That's the key monster with the most annoying habits. They also become less and less attractive, until they're absolutely the most hideous thing alive. That's when you'll hear the tirade about how love sucks/hurts/kills/bites the big one. It's astounding how quickly those things can change. One week the hap­ py couple will screw 8.6 times, the next week, he/she will be throwing him/her out of his/her apartment because he/she is giving him/her bad vibes. If that sounds like shallow behavior from someone who lives a shallow existence, that's because it is shallow behavior from someone who lives a shallow existence. About breaking up: If someone says, "Let's still be friends," you can almost be sure that you'll never see him/her again. Ever. It's really absurd that people can share "That kind of relationship" and be so close and then not even be friends. What shallow water we tread. If someone says, "I'm just not emotionally prepared to have that kind of relationship with anyone" when they dump you, and then go into social hibernation for six months, he/she is probably telling the truth. But if he/she says, "I'm just not ready to have that kind of rela­ tionship with anyone right now," and then immediately proceeds to have "that kind of relationship" with everyone who raises his/her hand, it's pretty obvious that he/she was lying because telling the truth would have been a little difficult or would have required a little effort. Even lies like that are easier to stomach than the easy, rehearsed lines like, "Relationships are just the meshing of karma. Sometimes they don't mesh perfectly." Meaning what? Meaning anything? I wonder. Maybe the tarot cards said it wasn't right. Hmmm. That's the best reason I've ever heard. Yeah, right. How about this one: "All things happen for the greater good of mankind. ' An old friend of mine uses that line to rationalize her behavior every time she wrecks some­ one's life. She also uses it as a fail-safe insurance policy to deny responsibili­ ty for any of her actions. I quoted that line to a friend of mine a few weeks ago when he was being dumped by his girlfriend, and he said, "If she said that to me, I'd feel perfectly justified in punching her out. And I don't hit women." What a cop-out. The easiest way to get out of any uncomfortable situation is to just throw up your hands in dismay and deny responsibility for everything. Let the cards (or broken hearts) fall where they may. The stupidity of that rationale (or sacred absolution, whatever you want to call it) becomes evident when you consider something like world wars or cancer. Somehow I just can't believe those things happen for the greater good of mankind. Perhaps as bad as any of the previously-mentioned is having to listen to empty-hearted people talk about being in love. Late at night in the residence hall after the Creek has played at H'Appy's, one girl says to her roommate, "Did you see that guy? I'm like totally in love with him, ya know? Do you think he like saw me staring at him? You do? No! Ready? Do you think he like actually likes me? I mean if he didn't like me I'd like totally die because it's like I'm totally in love with him." 1) It takes two people to be in love, 2) They have to feel the same way about each other and 3) I don't think two people can be in love unless they are each aware of the other's existence. It would really help if they knew each other's name and if they could actual­ ly have a conversation. You know, talk. Even that naive outlook on love is refreshing when you consider the common male equivalent. Late at night in the residence hall after the Creek has played at H'Appy's, one guy says to his roommate, "Did you see that girl staring at me? Do you think she'll let me screw her?" I guess that depends on what sorority she's in. I have to wonder why those people don't just take Daddy's gold card down to the Sheraton. For under S50 they can have anonymous sex with multiple partners and add six to 10 notches on their whatever. See LOVE! Page 18 Drug problem is society's problem and in so many words this film implies that it is a lie. . The content of this film is contrary to the Christian belief and could be detrimental to the future of our young who are easily influenced. We must vjew the long term effects of a movie of this context. It sends chills down my spine when I think about how similar this situa­ tion is to the one in Moses' day, when the children of Israel get impatient and have Aaron.build them a golden calf in which to worship because Moses has not returned from the mount. God was furious with the children and tells Moses to go down and get them in order. If it had not been for Moses' intervening on their behalf, God might have destroyed them right then. We do not know when punishment for this evil doing is coming. It could be today, or it could be tomorrow. So, fellow Christians and believers, stand up and let the world know what we represent, Jesus in rare form. The only perfect being. If he had been a sinner, he would not have burdened the world's sin on his shoulders. He had to be perfect in order to succeed and he was successful because there is still a human race today. Jesus died for our sins so we might live and have eternal life. Always Cool Bv TODD JOHNSON Appalachian Columnist The drug problem in America today gets rather scary when you see the symptoms of this disease and how it affects society. I see law enforcement officers and innocent people gunned down by pushers and mob hitmen on the daily news. I read about street gangs and how they're taking over urban streets, about how the mob practically owns Miami, and I laugh at anyone who says the drug situation in America is not serious. This sad situation has raised many comments and solutions to the prob­ lem. We have Ronald Reagan and his right-wing declaring "war on drugs." That seems an appropriate title; after all, the pushers, suppliers, and the DEA alike are using weapons nowadays that even some national guard units would covet. Gn the other hand, we've got liberal advocates who condemn the Conservatives for this action, but then commit the same crime that they accuse the conservatives of. They use the problem as an excuse to support their own political values and blame poverty for the drug problem; so let's declare a "war on poverty!" We've got a lot of people pointing a lot of political fingers, when what we've really got on our hands is a moral and social problem which affects all of us, whether we're con­ servative, liberal, confederate or whatever. And it's time we faced the facts about the matter, that there's more to it than just politics and poverty. f irst, we have the users. Some are just too lazy to deal with the everyday stresses of life. Fun-seekers who use drugs just for an easy way to get away from it all are sparing the expense of a few brain cells for the sake of a good high. They've all seen the television and heard the radio enough to know what damage they're doing, but they just don't seem to care. Others are just too overwhelmed with their prob­ lems and prefer to spend their lives on a constant high, only making the problem worse by taking drugs to forget them. Others are just innocent people caught in the tides of peer pressure, trying to fit in, or being coaxed by the ones they look up to, to do drugs. counsel them or help them with their problems. And sometimes they don't care; they don't care who's hurt or who dies. But I know better, I've been affected directly, one of my best It iends is in jail for a drug conviction. I know, now that I should have recognized his problem and helped him. So here's the open market for the pushers, slime of the earth who don't care about the damage they cause or the lives they ruin. All they want is their money; to play their part in the almost industrialized multi-million dollar drug trade. And the truth is, as long as drugs has its market, it doesn t matter what the government does to fight it, it's going to he here. The solution to the problem is responsibility; we need to teach socie­ ty a little more about responsibility, the responsibility to counsel these people, to counsel our friends and children and to rebuild people's morality. There are even those who neither use nor sell drugs who are to blame for the drug problem. These are the people who don't do anything about it. Many users have loved ones and family who don't take the time to tell them why to "say no." Others just don t want to get involved, they think it's up to the individual. Some are too righteous to confront these people to And Reagan's "killing of Central Americans" and war against the gangs may not do it, but neither will giving the victims of this problem a free lunch. They need to learn why to slay away from drugs and how to resist the temptations of drugs. Why don't we use this ploy instead of using the victims of this plague as political liabilities?

Punishment Continued from Page 16 serted into America's criminal justice system. And once this happens, America's criminal justice system will be no different from those of Com­ munist Russia, Nazi Germany, Islamic Iran, or any other slave pens one cares to name. The use of race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, or ideology to influence the outcome of court cases in one way or the other should be regarded as an act of contempt of court and an obstruction of justice. In America's domestic legal system, race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, and ideology are increasingly being accepted as legitimate excuses for violent criminal acts. This is evident in the rulings of major court cases throughout the country. None of these cases were of civil disobedience where unjust, tyrannical laws were broken to test their legitimacy. Rather, in all of the cases, just laws protecting life, liberty, and property were broken and the lawbreakers used their various excuses to evade punish­ ment, many times successfully. The precedents set in these cases are dangerous for more reasons than one. rKIV/K TRIVIA •v «. ». • Quavle * He was born in Ferriday, Louisiana * In '56 he recorded a song with Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley.

Something in the way convenience foods are swaddled in their paper or plastic coatings reminds us of our primate days. Perhaps it is out of instinct that we toss our food wrappers to the ground, like our ancestors discarded banana peels and watermelon seeds. Plastic food wrappers are not, however, biodegradable and neither are medical waste products. I have come up with a few simple solutions to help clean up our clut­ tered land. (Don't stop reading yet. It's just getting funny!) First of all we will have to introduce economic sanc­ tions to get at the suppliers of litter. I would propose a $10 return deposit on all plastic food and beverage con­ tainers. This should put a stop to casual litterers. For the hard-core litter addicts and repeat offenders, stiffer penalties will have to be mandated. I would suggest a sort of poetic justice (you know: let the punishment fit the crime!) For each offense, the convicted litterer would be required to perform a public service project such as standing on a street corner in a "Woodsy the Owl" costume reciting "Give a hoot, don't pollute!" For some, though, the only solution would be the death penalty—lethal injection of ASU cafeteria food. While I'm on the subject of litter, let me interject my thoughts on some rrrrrrrrrrnrrrrrrrrr^ of the artwork I've seen around cam­ pus. In all fairness to the artists, some of the masterpieces, so carefully ar­ ranged about campus, strike me as be­ ing nothing but junk. The sculpture in front of the Belk Library, for example reminds me of the late Charlotte Coliseum Scoreboard. Is there really supposed to be some deep meaning in this piece of art? Whatever happened to classical art that everyone can ap­ preciate? There certainly is a lot of time for art appreciation at ASU. What you probably thought were long lines at drop-add and the Student ID Center were actually brilliant attempts by the university to broaden your cultural horizons. With the advent of the Appalachian Express Card, however, students have opted to waste their valuable art ap­ preciation time by using the Ap­ palachian Express Cards to get quick­ ly through long lines and spend this priceless time studying. In order to circumvent this cultural loss, the University Bookstore has established an incredibly efficient system of lines which maximize the time any given student spends waiting in line (appreciating art.) There are two lines which accept cash, checks, and credit cards and one which ac­ cepts all of the former plus the Ap­ palachian Express Card. This amazing scheme has produced astounding results. The renegade Ap­ palachian Express users have been left with no other choice but to linger around in the art appreciation lines. I call this syndrome Appalachian Distress. I am glad to see that our bookstore is using this efficient modern method of crowd control as opposed to the unsuccessful method of having one line for cash, another for credit, and yet a third for the Ap­ palachian Express. I have to agree with fellow Ap­ palachian columnist Quentin Comp­ son who in his August 30 article has this to say about university employees. "Those people hate their jobs, they hate students, and they love making things more difficult..." This is especially true of Food Services per­ sonnel. I have only rarely been greeted by a friendly smile by these obviously unhappy workers. I do not under­ stand why someone would want to work in the cafeteria if he or she did not enjoy meeting people. Perhaps one reason for these despondent employees is the uniforms they are re­ quired to wear. It is easy to see why these people are miserable; I certainly would not like to wear flamingo pink polyester knit pimp-collared uniforms to work where I would be seen by hundreds of my peers. I have seen more up to date clothing on Benny Hill re-runs. How would you like to work in a place called the Food Court? The other day I heard someone mention that it sort of reminded them of the television show The People's Court. I can just see Judge Wapner presiding over the cash register and Doug Louellen standing at the exit with a microphone waiting to see how each litigant felt his or her meal was. Now, concerning Mr. Compson's September 1 article which dealt with margaritas and hairspray. I happen to have a strong affinity for hairspray. It is obvious that Quentin has never seen a woman early enough in the morning to appreciate the miraculous effects of hairspray. Here's the answer to your question "Where have the Margarita Mondays gone?" Assistant Manager of Tijuana Fats, and ASU history professor Renee Boughman had this explana­ tion; "Mainly we did away with Margarita Mondays because we couldn't afford any more urinal handles. Someone kept taking them home with them. There's some really wierd guy out there with a collection of urinal handles in a glass case." So that's what happened to your happy hour at Tijuana Fats', Quen­ ton. Maybe instead of going out and getting wasted you can just sit at home and silently implode. The funniest thing happened to me the other evening. After a very long and tiring day of finding things to complain about in my column, I settled down for a good night's sleep. A few hours later I was awakened by what seemed to be an earthquake, since my bed (the top bunk) was rock­ ing back and forth and was accom­ panied by screams. As it turns out, the screams I heard were screams of pleasure from my roommate's date as he and she were doing the "dance of life" (as my literature professor calls it) on the bottom bunk. When it comes to bunk beds, three's a crowd. I'll leave you with a related story from Arthur Guiterman's poem, "Sex":, Amoebas at the start Were not complex; They tore themselves apart And started sex.

"Early in the summer, skateboard­ ing blossomed," Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette said. (Skateboarders) were coming on campus at around noon and spending about two or three hours," Trivette added. Trivette said that Business Affairs began getting memos and calls from faculty and others complaining about the situation. "We had no reports of people actually being knocked down, but many people complained they were nearly knocked down," Trivette said. He added that there was slight damage to stone walls and sidewalks. After careful deliberation and in­ vestigation into the legal ramifications of banning skateboards, the Ad­ ministrative Cabinet decided to follow through with that action. "We did this after a great deal of discussion. ( The decision) was not a spur-of-the moment thing," Trivette said. Most of the offenders were not students or Boone residents," Direc­ tor of Public Safety and Security Roy Tugman said. He added that most skateboarders were visitors to the area. "One day this summer, I counted 15 to 17 skateboarders on campus," Trivette said. "We did this after a great deal of discussion. (The decision) was not a spur-of-the-moment thing." Ned Trivette Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs According to Tugman, the policy has been easy to enforce. "We've had no problem (with skateboarders) since that came about," Tugman said. "Most campuses do have this policy," Trivette said. For example, he added, East Carolina University implemented a skateboarding policy last year. "I'm glad the decision was made because (the skateboarders) were get­ ting in everyone's way . The skateboarders were so loud outside the library it was hard to study even if you were on the second or third floor," graduate student Christi Young said. "I'm glad the decision was made because (the skateboarders) were getting in everyone's way. The skateboarders were so loud outside the library it was hard to study even if you were on the second or third floor." Christi Young ASU Graduate Student Other students, however, felt the skateboarders should be allowed to use the campus. "They don't bother me as long as they aren't obnoxious," Kim Eagle said. "I think that if they're going to ban skateboarders, they should ban bicycles from campus as well because (the cyclists) are far more dangerous," a senior student said. "I think it's better for the skateboarders to have something to do and a place to do it than to have all of that time on their hands," he add­ ed. Modern art causes controversy; student expense an issue By PATRICK PALUMBO Appalachian Staff Writer The new outdoor sculptures on campus have been a major topic of discussion among students, faculty and staff. The major issue to the students is the amount of money the university allegedly spent on the sculptures. Ac­ cording to Mark Alexander, Director of the Catherine J. Smith Gallery, the university did not spend any money on the art. "Rumors are easy to emulate. It is kind of like forest fires, it's easy to get going and they usually catch on. For the most part the rumors have no basis of truth," said Alexander. "The art is here at the expense of the artist and through their generosi­ ty, it is here on loan from them. It is costing no state taxes whatsoever," he added. Alexander also said the art is here because of an annual contest. Last year, the second year of the contest, 120 entries were received. Only ten of those entries were selected. Each of the winning artists received $500 to cover the costs of shipping and in­ stallation of the work. The sculptures are only on loan to the university for one year. The first place winner is given $5,000 and the award money is donated by Martin and Doris Rosen, and is provided not by the state or the university. "Campuses with outside art are probably much more attractive than a campus without it," Alexander said. ..Tu .. . "The more sophisticated schools and public buildings of all types are becoming more interested in visual art as an enhancement to the quality of life. I think that is what the competi­ tion is all about," Alexander said. "Any kind of art work, whether it is literature, music, or dance, hopefully serves to stimulate thought and to stimulate speculation. Often it happens with art, especially outdoor art, to stimulate controversy, and controversy is perhaps a healthy thing to have at a college campus," added Alexander. Another problem many people are having with the sculptures is understanding them. "The general public likes the avantgarde of one hundred years ago. So the avant-garde of today will be the established art of tomorrow," Art In­ structor Joan Durden said. She said examples of this are the ar­ tists Monet and Vincent Van Gogh. "Monet was so poor that his wife died of starvation. Van Gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime but recent­ ly one of his paintings was bought for $5.4 million." "I've been at other universities, and because the students have not understood and sometimes even the faculty and.the administration have not understood how the art appears overnight and what the motivation is for them, that there sometimes is, un­ fortunately, a resentment, not so much of the art, but of the objects themselves and so the objects become a challenge to some immature people because they feel that it is taking some of their tax money, which it is not. This causes them to want to deface it in some way," Alexander said. Although vandalism of the sculptures has not been too much of a problem, Alexander said "Any art in public is vulnerable, but people should know that we are dealing with individuals who have loaned us the art and nothing has been purchased. No state money has been used for this and to attack the art work would be as bad as attacking an individual." Durden said that since ASU is an isolated place and does not have many galleries, the outdoor art allows us to experience artwork by different types of artists from all over the country. This years outdoor sculpture com­ petition was judged by Valarie Flet­ cher. Ms. Fletcher is the curator of sculpture at the Hirborn Museum of the Smithsonian Institute. The winner of the $5,000 prize was Smadar Yinhar. Her work, "The Bridge", is on display outside the Walker College of Business building. "A great writer once said, 'What people do not understand, they either fear it or ridicule,' and if you don't understand art sometimes the easiest way to repond is to react," Alexander said. He added, "The idea of art is that art is not about saneness, art is not about conformity or uniformity. Art is about individuals and that is why it's important. That is why it needs to be respected.

Writer This year's freshman class at Appalachian State University is, iccording to Vice-Chancellor for Stulent Development Dr. David dclntire, "The brightest class in the listory of this university." In his opening speech at Phase II reshman Orientation, Mclntire said hat "even with a decrease in the umber of North Carolina high chool graduates this year, the integri­ ty of our admission standard has not §nly been held constant but actually inproved substantially." avera§e freshman SAT score is It. Ihe highest average in ASU history at 1-4, up 21 points from the previous fear's average of 933. Seventy-two freshmen have SAT scores of over 1200, the highest being 1490. Fiftynine of the freshmen enrolled had a cumulative high school GPA of 4.0. The average GPA for the class as a whole was 3.2. Sixtv percent graduated in the top twenty percent of their high school graduating class. Mclntire feels that academically, in comparison with past freshman classes, this year's class "should do better. They come with better academic skills. They are better equipped and ought to fare better academically... They are a stellar class." Although enrollment is down due to deliberate controlling of the number of high school students selected to attend ASU, this year's freshman class was selected from the largest applicant pool in ASU history. According to Director of Admissions Joseph Watts, 8,248 high school seniors applied for acceptance for the 1988-89 school year. Of that number, approximately 1,850, or 22 percent, are now enrolled. Watts ;aid the number of freshmen selected was limited to 1,850 because "Appalachian has been very overenrolled for the past several years. We deliberately cut back in the size of the freshman class to make sure that the classes were not so crowded. That way we were able to keep small classes as opposed to making them too large. It was a deliberate effort to reduce the size of the freshman class." "Some people have the idea that bigger is better," Mclntire said. "We've been a believer for a long time that we ought to focus on quali­ ty, not quantity... we shouldn't try to become a Chapel Hill West. We happen to think that the thing that has made this school great is that we can focus on all the students. We couldn't do that with 20,000 students. We don't want to get bigger for the sake of being bigger, we want to focus on quality and improve the quality." This year's freshman enrollment dropped by 156 from last year's 2,006. In 1986, 2,248 freshmen were enrolled. "It (the decision to reduce the size of the freshman class) was basically made in academic affairs. They recommended it to the chancellor and ultimately he's the one who decided," said Watts. Watts said that the ideal number of mS freshmen students is "between 1.850 and 2.000. We're looking at approx­ imately 1,900 freshmen next year. But we wanted to get a little smaller this year because we have too large of a sophomore, junior, and senior class. We hope to stabilize between 1,900 and 2,000 freshmen." The institution is governed by the university system's general administration who will set an enroll.ment. "We try to stay as close as we can to what the university system recommends that our enrollment should be," Watts said. "If we are way above that number then we won't get enough money for the people we have enrolled. That's why we are cut­ ting back this year, because last year we were way over what we were budgeted. If we stay at about our 11 present enrollment without increasing our budget, we'll be where we are sup­ posed to be." Of the freshmen enrolled this year, 56.4 percent are female. Twenty-five states are represented, with the largest number of out-of-state students com­ ing from Florida. The farthest state represented is California. Three enter­ ing freshmen are citizens of other countries: the Phillipines, South Africa, and Taiwan. Of the 100 North Carolina counties, 88 are represented. The largest representation for an individual county is Mecklenburg County with 182 students. The top five high schools, in terms of number of freshmen enrolled at ASU are, respectively, Watauga, East Mecklen­ burg, Cary, McDowell, and South Mecklenbure. Graduate student association senate holds first meeting By JOHN NICKS Appalachian Staff Writer The Graduate Student Association Senate (GSAS) held its first meeting of the year Monday, August 29. One important item of business was the election of officers. The officers elected were Michelle Rissolo, Presi­ dent; Jim Houser, Vice President; Kevin Allran, Secretary-Treasurer and John Underwood, Graduate Council Representative. Among the duties of the GSAS are developing ideas for graduate education im­ provement, providing input in university policy forma­ tion and voicing concern for all graduate students. These officers, who meet ever month of the academic year, will serve as chairpersons for the GSAS committees which include finance, elections, rules and communications. Among the duties of the GSAS are developing ideas for graduate educa­ tion improvement, providing input ;n university policy formation and voic­ ing concern for all graduate students. Each department such as chemistry and accounting elects one senator and one alternate. The senator is allowed voting rights in the Senate. The GSAS handles several types of grant requests. Among these are travel, research and activity grants. Research grants help to promote in­ dividual activities. Only two of these grants will be awarded this year. The purpose of activity grants are to support departmental activities and organizations. Senators for the 1988-89 academic year include the following: Jessica Morten, Accounting; David Jaynes, Biology; Michelle Rissolo, Chemistry; Caroline Lee, Curriculum and In­ struction; Laura Laughridge, English; Doughlas Albert, Geography and Planning; Kevin Allran, Health Education, Physical Education and Research grants help to promote individual ac­ tivities. Only two of these grants will be awarded this year. The purpose of activity grants are to support departmental activities and organizations.

Here we have also been successful by hiring a highly motivated individual as our Escort director, Mr. David Hiller. !

As a result, we had a large number of calls on the first night and we expect the numbers to increase. Gary Greene By GARY GREENE Special to The Appalachian On behalf of the Student Govern­ ment Association I would like to' • welcome you back to Appalachian. I hope everyone had a wonderful sum­ mer and is ready for a new and • exciting academic year. I wish everyone a successful semester. The main purpose of this letter is to explain how your Student Govern; ment Association has represented you during the summer months. Not only have we moved towards the comple­ tion of certain projects, but we have enthusiastic cabinet members willing to generate new ideas for you. Our Vice President, Frank "Moose" | Callis, will be developing many of , these cabinet members into successful : student leaders. This is a new approach that will, in the end, benefit everyone. "Moose" and 1 ran on the platform idea of creating a Residence Student Association cabinet position in Stu­ dent Government, enabling a better ' communication between the two student-serving organizations. We have completed this project and 1 am happy to say that Miss Janet Avant is off and running with a great start. Another area of concern among students was the utilization of the previous student l.D. card. After pur­ suing the possibilities of expansion and discovering it was possible, you now have the "Appalachian Express." This is only a small example of the tremendous amount of work that has been provided. On May 26, 1988 the Boone Town Council met, and I as your Student Government President was there representing your interest. The main subject to be addressed was the new Boone noise ordinance. During this meeting the times in which a fine was to be paid changed from 72 hours after charged, to ten days after charged. I believe this was an enor­ mous step in the right direction. However, when councilman Saul Chase conceived the idea to form a committee to analyze the other prob­ lems with the ordinance, things did not develop as well. The council scented very close on the subject, and Mayor Pro-Temp. Velma Burnley said, "the noise ordinance is working and there is no need for a change." I personally believe the students need to evaluate this situation and work extremely hard towards correcting it. Another item that was brought tip for discussion was a litter ordinance. However, after close examinations the Council decided some adjustments needed to be made before any action on the floor was taken. On June 2 and 3, 1988 I attended the Board of Trustees meeting as your student body voting member. Some of the main items discussed were traf­ fic and parking, the new Alcohol and Drug Policy and the Dougherty House. First of all, on the new traffic and parking regulations, I objected totally to the procedure that was used. The students were asked for their input, and once they, along with staff and faculty alike provided it, they were essentially ignored on most issues. Last year, at the end of the year, one of our Student Government sub­ committees and the Traffic and Park­ ing committee made several recom­ mendations that were justified. At that time, we were told those items in question would be changed or at least considered. However, upon attending the Board meeting I realized the final draft was very similar to the highly controversial first draft. There were several debates and then a vote in which I was the only one to vote against the parking proposals. Securi­ ty did agree to alter some things, like putting a phone at the new State Farm storage lot. I was very disappointed in the support tendered by the administration towards our pro­ posals. This is why "Moose," Stu­ dent Government Senate, myself and our SGA administration will be fighting for you. Secondly, the New Alcohol and Drug Policy was adopted and I was in full support of it. The new policy essentially brought our ASU policy into consistency with the general University of North Carolina policy. During the drafting of this particular policy, we did have a student on the committee providing valuable input. Thirdly, the Dougherty House was a closed subject during this meeting. Chancellor Thomas had fluently explained how the procedure of requesting money for a building on a certain site was handled within the legislature. He explained that you don't just go in and change directions after hammering the nail for five years. All of the board members agreed and were in accord on this par­ ticular subject. If there are any ques­ tions about my actions at this par­ ticular meeting, please come by with your concerns. During July 15-17, the Board of Trustees also held a planning meeting. This meeting was very detailed, and a lot of time and effort was devoted from this office. I have a comprehen­ sive plan book if anyone would be interested in seeing it. The main thing that was produced for the students of ASU out of this meeting was a new Student Union/Recreation Facility Program Task Force in which I will be co-chairing with the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Dr. Dave Melntire. This committee will be examining the expansion ol the Stu­ dent Union and determining what ivpe of new facilities will be needed. Hopefully "Moose" and I will receive some excellent suggestions from all ol you, and then the Board can vote on this item. . . ~„„i. Also during this meeting, Greek housing took a tremendous leap up the ladder. This was another platform idea we promised and with which we are now following through. I honestly believe we may be able to get land tracts and water so each liaternity or sorority can begin building on in a third of the time than originally was stated. This does many things for the Greek system and it frees up existing residence hails for further use. The last item 1 want to discuss con­ cerns summer court, something that has never existed at ASU. This year our vice president appointed court justices and our chief justice, Andrew Heckel, pulled it off exceptionally well. This helped alleviate all hut four of the cases that had overlapped into the summer months. They should both be congratulated on a job well done. Student Government is working and will continue to work for you. Come join us, or just come and express your opinions. Either way, remember that you can make the dif­ ference aI ASU. All responses should be sent to the Student Government Association or brought to the second floor Workman Hall.

Appalachian Staff Columnist The following is a two part article hat is meant as my initial "Howdy" for the following school year. Part one is for all you new students at ASU and Part Two is for (drum roll, please) those of you returning to ASU. So, without further ado... PART ONE "Hi, what's your name?" This is the part for all of all of lyou young, optimistic freshmen. On [behalf of absolutely nobody, let me [be the 167th person to welcome you [to Appalachian State University. As lyou were told last summer, you are [all now Mountaineers. 1 realize that [about this time you are saying to [yourself, "Self, pinch me. 1 must be (dreaming." You are now expected Ito act accordingly in the manner exIpected of someone who attends a [college where their mascot is some [dude named 'Yosef." Yes, sir, you |are the privileged few. So, here I am on my second [paragraph of this school year (or is [this my Jhir^l?), and as I look at my [Handy Dandy Guide For Staff ColJumnists, I realize that this is where 1 •get my high and mighty soap box land tell you things that will, in Isome way, help you survive as a Istudent at ASU. Well, er, about the only real ad­ vice I can give you is to try to avoid [run-on sentences (you can use me as la model) and don't go swimming [after you have eaten. Other than [those two, I really don't feel that I lam qualified enough to give advice Ito a groundhog, much less a bright-) Ifaced, happy-go-lucky freshman |(not that I'm trying to make any Connections between grounghogs land freshmen—there aren't any—I [just said it because, well, 1 really [don't know why 1 said it, or even [why I tried to explain myself. Just try to forget 1 said anything;] [well, not really anything. Just igInore this crap. So, where was I [now? Oh, yeah, that's right, 1 [wasn't going to give you any advicej I'm sure you have found many [people giving you worthless advice [on how to best "cope" or ["survive" the experience of being a| [freshman. Do yourself a favor, next| [time one of these bone-heads gives [you an "inside tip" on the inner [runnings of ASU, ask yourself who| [the hell this person is to giving you ^advice. What mystical qualifications gives] [him or her the knowledge to pass [on to you as a Mountaineer? Nine lout of ten dentists have reported [that none out of ten of these [pinheads are either; a) not going to [graduate from college, b) are going [to be at this institution longer than [they (or the institution) bargained [for, or actually likes "St. Elmo's [Fire" and "The Facts Of Life," but| [hates "Good Morning Vietnam" l'nd "The Wonder Years." Imagine that. No matter how much you prepare! [for the oncoming trials and tribulajtions of being a student, there is [very little that can be expressed [from one person to another. The [best experience (get ready for a [cliche!!) is experience. It would be [ideal for one to learn from other's [mistakes, but it is pretty impossible [to absorb another's experiences So what does the future hold for | | you? ^Vell, who knows. Surely not that] geek who thinks he is better than you because he's "Not A Freshman." The best you can do is to just take everything in stride and | not let the petty things bring you down. Don't worry about the peer pressure you might be feeling to fit ln; iost be who you are, damn it. No one can complain about that. | on't try to be the super student and take zillions of hours of credits | each semester; no sense in burning yourself out because the real world 'sn t going anywhere. Lastly, try not to take everything so seriously; what appears at face n°W' rn'8*lt aPPear differently | IEU Damn. 1 did it, didn't 1? I just gave you some "advice from the ex-| Pcrienced!!" Well, no one is Perfect. Will Marley By C.W. PRATHER Appalachian Slaff Writer It's hard for me to think about Will Marley without also thinking about music. The two go hand in hand in such a way that it's impossible to im­ agine Will doing anything else but playing in a rock band. So, in short, Will is music—music is Will. Or something like that. Will is the 22 year old senior from Charlotte who is the voice behind Boone's very own Outer Limits. After only a year and a half of playing together, The Outer Limits have become the undisputed megamothers ot The High Country music scene. Will attributes their success to the fact that everyone in the band (bass player Rob Schladensky, drummer Greg Pope, and Will doing vocals and lead guitar) gets along so well together and that they, according to Will, "have great rhythm." When listening to the band play nothing but their original material, one might be able to detect some of the group's influences. Will does see this as a possible problem. "I'm a big fan of R.E.M., Husker Du, The Replacements and The Church," Will said. "I do try and stay away from this type of music when I'm working with new material. I don't want everything we do to start sounding the same." When working on new material, Will does credit these bands with helping him work on vocals and har­ monies. Guitar bands and funk are also contributers to Will's style that might not be as obvious. However, there is one brand of music that Will is not to fond of—Top 40. "I don't like music that can be composed on one keyboard. They all (Top 40 Bands) start sounding the same to me," Marley continued. "I do think Tracy Chapman is pretty cool. 1 bet, however, that her popularity is going to die out soon—like Suzanne Vega." Will, who doesn't eat breakfast, and doesn't care too much for Top 40 Radio, really wouldn't mind it if The Outer Limits became successful. "It would be real nice if we did make it, but for that to happen it would take a lot more work. (Success) is forseeable, but right now we're pay­ ing our dues." The pay-off may be sooner than ex­ pected. A management company in Tennessee got ahold of a North Carolina compilation tape that had two of their songs on it. They con­ tacted the band recently to tell them how much they liked it and to see if The Outer Limits could send them some other promos, pictures, articles, etc. his unlimited music and If this does work out, The Outer Limits could eventually be lined up with an album label. Will, however, is taking it all in stride. "It could fall through." No matter what happens, the next logical step for Will and the band would be to relocate, after gradua­ tion, to the Raleigh area. "I love the crowds up here, but if we want to make it, we need to move." And why Raleigh? "Well, it would be stupid for us to go to Athens, Georgia (he laughs) plus there are too many homeboys in the band who live in North Carolina," Will said. "Raleigh is also in the center of the state, plus it's a cool place to be." When asked what he would do if the band never made it, Will seemed confident that he would still get a job in the music field. Taking advantage of his double business major, he said he could see himself in a management or marketing position somewhere in the music industry. "I guess it really doesn't matter what I'm doing as long as I have food to eat and a roof over my head," he said. "But I know I would be very happy if I could do something in music." Like I said, Will is music—music is Will. Ouler Limits' guitarist/singer/songwriter Will Marley Freshman Seminar class helps with college transitions By JENNINGS DIXON Appalachian Slaff Writer Are you a freshman having a hard time budgeting your money and balancing your time? Have you discovered that your study skills pro­ ve you unskillful? If so, ASU is offer­ ing a course especially for you. U.S. 1530, better known as Freshman Seminar, has been an experimental course for several years. This semester the enrollment expanded to approx­ imately 450 students. The purpose of the seminar is to "aim students toward their goal, which is success in their freshman year," an insturctor in the course, Happy Austin, explained. Dr. Jimmy Smith, who spoke at Freshman Orien­ tation in July said the course is designed to turn freshmen into college students. The purpose of the seminar is to "aim students toward their goal, which is success in their freshman year." Dr. Jimmy Smith, who spoke at Freshman Orientation in July said the course is designed to turn freshmen into college students. How is this done5? A student can be transformed into a successful college student by improving study skills, building relationships with peers and faculty members, becoming involved at ASU and learning more about the university system. By taking Freshman Seminar, students also become motivated, con­ fident, better organized, responsible and often more efficient with time and money. Mr. Randy Swing, the coordinator of advising at ASU, helped run the training session for the faculty presently teaching the various classes. "Whatever you are wanting out of college, you can create," he stated. "Those who get involved at Appalachian tend to really like it here." Freshman Seminar is designed to teach students about the social aspects of college also. Students can learn about various clubs offered during the year. "I took the seminar last year and loved it. Not only did it help me adjust to college. but I met friends I would have never introduced myself to otherwise," sophomore Patti Stroman said. "Freshman Seminar also offered me comfort to deal with being away from home." - A student can be transformed into a suc­ cessful college student by improving study skills, building relationships with peers and faculty members, becoming involved at ASU and learning more about the university system.

Patti Stroman ASU Freshman Mr. Swing concluded, "College is a complicated institution. It is difficult to use college to its best." Hopefully this new course will help 450 freshmen use college best, reflecting in their grades, maturity and personality. World Game an alternative to war games On Saturday, September 10, The World Game will come to Varsity Gym on the Appalachian State University campus. The World Game, which was designed by Buckminster Fullei as a creative alternative to war games, involves every participant ir. a series of interactive simulations where world problems are examined and solutions are devised. The experience will begin at 9 a.m. and will last until 6 p.m., with a onehour lunch break. Sponsored by the Faculty Development and Instruc­ tional Services Center and the Perfor­ ming Arts and Forum Series, The World Game is free and open to all in­ terested participants. Those attending are asked to bring paper and pencils. How is The World Game played? Imagine you are 2,000 mi are standing on the Earth with the space shuttle in orbit at ankle height. The moon is 70 stories above and the sun is about 25 miles away. Your foot is over 300 miles long. You see the world like you've never seen it before. Relationships of one area to another become visible, tangible. You see the world's largest and most accurate map of the whole Earth. You become familiar with your planet, its resources and their distribution and our global problems. You, represen­ ting 1 percent of humanity, or 50 million people, will see and feel the distribution of the world's popula­ tion, food and energy production and consumption, literacy levels, military budgets and, in a horrifying display of one possible future, witness the com­ bined destructive capabilities of the world's 50,000 nuclear weapons. You realize that each person can and does make a difference. Buzz Aldrin, the astronaut, said it was "the best experience I've had of the Earth since returning from the moon." Buckminster Fuller and Medard Gabel conducted it for the U.S. Congress. The Colorado Democratic Party opened their 1987 Issues Conference with it. The Pillsbury and Dupont Corporations had their executives participate. It has been played at conferences for scien­ tists, government leaders, futurists, corporate executives, Model UN's, 4-H groups, peace groups and over 100 universities, colleges, corpora­ tions, prep schools and high schools throughout the world. It uses the world's largest and most accurate map of the whole Earth (nearly the size of a basketball court). The "Big Map" was developed and built by Buckminster Fuller and The World Game in 1982 from U.S. Defense Department maps. One of the principal ideas of The World Game is to make accessible to everyone the same information that the leaders of the world use in their decision-making process. Fuller con­ tended that the more people "in the know," the better off we would all be. World Game Projects, Inc., a non­ profit research and education organization, was formed in 1971 and has offices in the University City Science Center in Philadelphia. It is amassing a vast computer data base of the world's resources, human trends, needs and technological options, and is developing tools for teachers, students, government leaders, re­ searchers and the general public that assist in global and local problem solving. The facts and figures used in The World Game are the latest available. World Game Projects now has a joint project with the United Nations to distribute their statistics on World Game software. The event on September 10, a multi-media production featuring slides, film and activities on the Big Map, will be presented by Medard Gabel and Chuck Dingee, of World Game Projects, Inc.

Its main point was that although men may indeed be brutes, they, too, are victims. Although we are con­ stantly inundated with the image of the perfect sensitive man, we see misogynistic jerks with hip clothing and fast cars get the bulk of the dates. In my customary flippant manner, I used as an example an individual code-named "American Gigolo." He was an example of all the things women were supposed to loathe, and I said, of course, he made out like a bandit? It turns out there may be some hope for wOTTTgn's lastes in men alter a07 As I got to know Mr. Gigolo better, I realized that he spent all his time in the company of a young lady who was an admitted virgin. Boy, am I gullible. Well, what you're reading is an update of sorts; American Gigolo 2: Gil we Culled on Account of Ruin. It's theme is that great line from an old Paul Newman flick. Cool ttund I like: "What we have here is a failure to communicate." I got an interesting piece of hate mail about that article. Mocking my opening, "There's a nasty design flaw in the make-up of the human race." it began "There's a nasty design flaw in the make-up of your brain, J Shaver," and went down-hill from there. Anyway, I've seen some interesting case studies in the last year. Me. for instance. I tell in love with someone last fall who didn't reciprocate my interest. I wouldn't back olf. we both ended up getting really badly hurt. I made a huge fool of myself in the process and I'm out a big wad of cash. I have a friend with whom I used to discuss our frustration with the fair sex. lie would complain that while his women friends would talk about qualities they like in a man, he would keep thinking "Bui that's me!" He now tells me that he has given up in disgust the idea of pursuing rela­ tionships with women. Hopeless, he says. After yearsxif trying, he says he has finally gotten the message that sen­ sitivity (that is, being a earing human being) is no longer fashionable. Now his stated goal is mindless sex My point, us it was a year ago, is that everyone is a victim. Men are only un­ caring, lustful, violent brutes in the same sense thai women are vain, silly, hypocritical manipulators. I wo other friends ot mine, rather attractive intelligent ladies, both reported being in "hale men" stages ol their lives this summer. They had both been hurl and had become sour on relationships in general. One of them reported herself cured last week. She is now involved with someone, although she's afraid he's a lot more into it than she is. The other had a date the other day. I don't know how it turned out. but I'm hoping for the best. Yet another friend, a male-type person, complained to me in early July about being a "born-again virgin." Since then, he has had sex approximately 60 times; honest. Boy is he ever tired these days—but he's always in a good mood. An editor here at the paper read a rough draft of this column and told tne that she. too. hated men I hale seeing a good woman go to waste that way. I or two years my little brother, a senior at N.C. State, was engaged to a really perfect woman. She's pretty, smart, pretty, nice, pretty anil talented. I mean I've been a little in love with her for about two years myself They broke up in March because she took up with another man. My brother was so torn up over it that he couldn't eat and lost 25 pounds in a month. Men are such brutes. My brother is recovering quite nice­ ly. As of this writing, he seems to be getting involved with someone else, although I'm told the prospect of a reconciliation looms on the horizon. Me. I'm pulling for girlfriend number one. Like I said. I like her. 1 think maybe digestive distress under pressure runs in the family. This spring. I was throwing up about every other meal I ate. No. that wasn't by choice: I think it was an ulcer. I called it the "Unlucky at I ove Diet." I finally went off the "diet" in mid Inly. It was the first one that's worked in years, but I don't plan to try it again.

Chicago tour includes Appalachian By A.S. HARRINGTON \|)|Kilaihi;m Muff Writer If Paul Revere were here at ASU, he'd probably be riding around in a tour-wheel drive truck yelling "C hicago is coming! Chicago is com­ ing!" C hicago is one of the biggest names to appear at ASU, and everyone is letting ready for it. The group is cur­ rently on tour to support their latest album, Chicago 19. The group has been enjoying a remarkable success since their 1984 album, Chicago 17, which was followed by the release of Chicago 18. Even though the album names ap­ pear to be lacking a little, that shouldn't impair their ability to put 011 a great show. A lot of work has gone into making Ibis show a reality, and as usual, the credit should go to the A.P.P.S. Council. "We're impressed that a group as big as Chicago is coming to ASU," council member Kimberly Comer said. - I he idea to bring Chicago to Boone began last semester. The A.P.P.S. Council voted Chicago as a goup they'd like to bring on campus. Manager of H'Appy's Randy Kelly contacted the band, and then kept in touch until the date had been finaliz­ ed. Although a lot of tickets have been sold, there has not been the sell-out rush that Chairperson of Concerts Bryant Armstrong expected. However, he said there have been no reported complaints concerning the new ticket policy. Last year there were some problems with ticket sales for Jimmy Buffett, but there seems to be 110 problem of that sort this time. Armstrong is hoping that this concert will be a big success. "If there is a lot of support for this concert we will definately have the support of the administration for more of these big name acts." Not to be forgotten is Henry Lee Summer, who everyone is confident will put on a great show. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and all seats are reserved. mcw/K TRIVIA •v «. *. • imr • Tina Turner's hometown was Nashville, Tenn. • She met Ike when she was 16.

Last year WASU switched from a Top-40 format to an Album Oriented Rock/Progressive format. This year the format will be an AOR/Classic. Classic songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s, as well as contemporary songs, will be played along with various specialty shows. Hopefully it will have a great response this year," WASU Program Director Gary Walker said. "We want to get WASU to where ASU likes it again." WASU also plans to use their Live Remote system more this year. This system gives the announcer more OK, here goesThe first edition of Diversions is out. What do you think? "Just what is Diversions?" you ask. Well, I just don't know. It's one of those vague things, like Reagan's mentality or the future of the free world as we know it. Let's just say it's entertainment free-forall of sorts, a hodge-podge of in­ teresting, irrelevant facts and fic­ tions, a forum, for those of the easi ly pissed-off persuasion and oodles of opinions. So in order to encompass all of the above points, I'll say a few words about WASU and the "Pro­ posal For Enriching The Intellectual Environment of Appalachian State University." For those of you who have not seen or heard about this, seven graduate faculty members got together to figure out how to im­ prove the cultural and intellectual level on campus. One of the pro­ posals was to let. "informed faculty' (talk about vague!) take over the programming duties at WASU in­ stead-of allowing students to do their own programming. Well, excuse us for being lowly college students who still listen to the music of our adolescence and obviously have no appreciation or capacity for culture. Maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't we come to this university to LEARN? I hardly call being led around by the nose by a faculty member educational. How are CM A majors supposed to learn about broadcasting and programming, (in other words, things they'll need to know when they get out of college and into the real world) if they are mere pawns in a station where they are told what to play? How would these professors feel if the dean of their college decided to do their lesson plans and write their lectures for them because he felt he was more informed than they? WASU is the best training ground for our students. The station pro vides invaluable, hands-on ex­ perience in every area of radio. 1 ad mit the station isn't perfect, and yes, songs like AC/DC's "Big Balls" are not the most culturally enriching music (depends on what or whose culture, though, doesn't it?) but I think WASU has attempted to play most kinds of music. Gary Walker has programmed many specialty shows including a jazz program and the new free-for-all on Sunday nights. freedom to walk around and talk to people. Past events using Live Remote include the Information Fair at H'Appy's this year. Walker has a new line of programs and specialty shows that should ap­ peal to audiences of most music types. The Supper Club, a modern jazz show, airs 5:30-7:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. Saturday morn­ ings and afternoons are strictly rock and roll classics during the Oldie Show. Music from the 50s is high­ lighted from 9 a.m.-noon, and from noon-3 p.m. music from the 60s and 70s is featured. Once a month a beach music show will air. Sunday nights from 7-9 p.m. is a free-for-all. This show allows people to play their own music on the air. "if there's a type of music you like that we aren't playing, then come play it," Walker said. This show is open to everyone including students, staff and faculty. "There are some people who want the radio station to be taken over by faculty," Walker said. "Such a takeover would be a shame and in­ justice to the community. This station is run by students for the students." Last April a graduate faculty task committee put out a proposal that suggests "informed faculty" take over the programming at WASU. Dr. Mary Connell, of the Biology Depart­ ment, chaired the committee of volunteers who prepared the "Pro­ posal for Enriching the Intellectual Environment of Appalachian State University." In the proposal, WASU is named as the "most conspicuously deficient forum for supporting the arts" and a poor representation to "the discriminating public." However, Walker said he has yet to receive a single complaint. Following are the proposed changes: 1. Stop treating the station on­ ly as a training ground for student disc-jockeys broad­ casting popular music of the sort that students are ac­ customed to as adolescents. Continue student broad­ casting, but only when the material has been program­ med by informed faculty. 2. Ensure that the majority of the programming embodies an intellectual approach to the arts, current issues and ideas of which any universi­ ty can be proud. 3. Determine programming through a committee com­ posed of faculty from the fields of music, theater, the visual arts, English, history, science, education and economics. 4. Make additional funds available to purchase weekly or daily programs, including broadcasts of forums, lec­ tures, interviews and con­ certs. Walker invites the faculty and anyone else to come on the air Sunday night and play whatever music they like. If you have any requests, ideas or opinions, call WASU at 262-3170. Check out! H'Appy's isn't a supermarket anymore By STEVE CRANFORD we weren't sure of the future of the building. There had even been talk of razing the building to make room for new construction. Due to the success, of the club, however, we decided there was a definite need for the club. We also felt that the students deserved and needed more than an old grocery store, so the money was allocated for the improvements," Mclntire said. Appalachian Staff Writer "Any student who visited the old H'Appy's before the renovations won't believe the improvements in the new place." Those are the words of Randy Kel­ ly, the manager of H'Appy's. The major changes are the first at the club since it opened in March of 1984. The building was built in 1965 as a super­ market. With over 11,000 square feet of floor space, the building was large enough to be a successful night club and for awhile was the only place in Boone for students to go for a night of dancing. The one thing it was lack­ ing was a true, nightclub atmosphere. With a capacity of 1,000 students, any smaller crowd made the large, un­ broken floor space seem intimidating. The renovations have take care of the lack of atmosphere. Kelly is pleased and excited about the new renovations in the club. The former plain black and yellow paint of the walls has been replaced with brand new paint, and many in­ teresting wall decorations have been put to use. Several large, black and white prints of past and contem­ porary rock, legends hang on the walls, along with two custom painted murals. These murals are portraits of Jimi Hendrix and U2 painted by mad­ cap musician and painter, Denny Dent. The former florescent lights in the club were the original lights of the old supermarket. New Tiffany-style lights have been installed to give the place a much warmer appearance. Perhaps the biggest change, however, was in the floor plan itself. "Somehow, without resorting to raising student fees, Dr. Mclntire was able to come up with enough money to allow us to make these improvements." H'Appy's new, sophisticated look is partly from Denny Dent's paintings What was once a large, caverous area has now been improved by the addi­ tion of a large two-tiered seating area. This seating arrangement not only makes the club seem cozier, it also allows those seated further back in the club a much better view of the stage and dance floor. The new dance floor has been partitioned off by new floorto-ceiling curtains. The former checkered linoleum floor has been covered with new carpet, giving H'Appy's a custom look rivalling the more exclusive private night clubs of the area. "Without the help of Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Dr. David Mclntire these changes could have never taken place," Kelly said. "Somehow without resorting to rais­ ing student fees. Dr. Mclntire was able to come up with enough money to allow us to make these im­ provements." In fact, $25,000 worth of im­ provements were made in the building. Kelly and his crew are to be commended for the speed with which they were able to complete this pro­ ject. Due to delays in receiving ap­ proval for the funds, what was once projected to be a two-month project suddenly became a 15-day project. Despite this short notice, Kelly and his crew were more than eager to start work. After many long days and evenings of work, the building was completed on time. Dr. Mclntire explained why the ad­ ministration was willing to approve the funding for these improvements. "When H'Appy's was first opened Mclntire hopes H'Appy's will now , be able to better serve the student community. In the past, H'Appy's { has had such class acts as Jason and jj the Scorcher, The Smithereens, The Producers and Joan Jett. Booking of « top live acts will continue in the new * club, with such acts as Sidewinder, , A.A.E., and Clearlight who are already booked for the coming ' season. This combination of at- I mosphere, big name acts, and H'Ap py's low costs, should make it one of » the most popular nightspots in the en­ tire region. With admission running from $1.00 on D.J. nights to $3.00 on band nights and the privilege of bring- I ing your own beer, it is hard to im­ agine a less expensive way to have fun > and meet new friends. Come out and I see for yourself why Kelly and his ' staff are so proud of the new H'Ap * py's. The Outer limits and No Reason Why rocked the Pub By ERIC BOLASH Appalachian Staff Writer If you were at the Pub on Friday, August 26, you probably realized (if you had not already) something our friends at the university radio station, WASU, have not; there is a great potential for the success of alternative music in Boone, North Carolina. The bands No Reason Why and The Outer Limits played a sort of double-headline show on Friday, each pleasing the crowd of three hundred plus with their own styles. No Reason Why initiated the ceremonies with a set that was Maybe I'm mistaken,but isn't WASU for the faculty and students, characteristically abrasive and fuming with excitement.

The Stream of Consciousness was not the lirst band to open the new band room at Sollecito's. The band taking that honor is The King Bees, a local R&B band, who initiated The Fan Room Friday night. The Fan Room, named so for the antique elec­ tric tans lining the walls, is the result ot a concept by Sollecito's manager Mark Little, who also ran sound for The Stream Saturday night. A musi­ cian himself, Little knows what it's like trying to land a gig and work out arrangements with nightclub managers. He started The Fan Room so that bands could have a fair shake." The stage comes equipped with a sound and lighting systems, and plenty of space for a handful of musicians, as The Stream proved. There is a nice, cozy dance floor, with tables and booths lining the walls. The room is adjacent to the restaurant, so all events are scheduled so as to not interfere with people's dining. Future events at The Fan Room in­ clude Little's band, Voce, who will play there this Thursday. Voce plays music for the head, heart, and leet, according to bass player Little. The band is an assemblage of ac­ complished musicians who specialize in synthesizer-oriented rock. They have a wide spectrum of influences. COI.I.F.GF.

SPORTS Steve Gill ASU, Citadel compete on Saturday By JON PRITCHETT Appalachian Slaff Writer Got sports on my mind It was August 15 when I plopped my body into my car and headed for home. You see, school has been my home for the last nine years. After four stops at four different schools, ten different majors, eight different places to live, and 16 dif­ ferent roommates, school has represented home for me. Not any particular school, just school in general. So to get back to the main point, 1 was driving home to Appalachian State and I started thinking. When a guy who loves sports starts thinking, only one subject comes to mind. Sports! Sports thoughts raced through my mind. Can the Miami Hurricanes repeat in college football? How about the Washington Redskins in the NFL? Will Jack Nicklaus, Jimmy Connors and Mike Tyson all retire in the same year? Will Wade Boggs win his supposed court battle and will he have to give back the pictures to his teammates? The questions and answers were abundant and they gave me a wonderful idea. Let's answer some questions and make some predic­ tions. First of all, the obvious champion in Division I-A football will be Rice University. I'm partial to the Southwest Conference, and Rice is the only school not on some kind of probation. The NFL champion will be the Atlanta Falcons and John Settle's name is bound for the Wheaties box. Now for a quick look at the old boys and the new boys on the block. Jack Nicklaus is quickly trading in his golf shoes for con­ struction boots. It's his last year, but he will win a major. Jimmy Connors is destined to be Paine Weber's company tennis champion. Then there's the question of Mike Tyson. Yes, one of my favorite athletes. The only question I have for Mike is "What were you doing in an all night clothing store at 4 a.m.?" I guess Harlem isn't a bad neighborhood. Mike Tyson will retire this year, return next year, then retire again, and so on and so on and so on. Who are the babies this year in the sports world? Not crybabies, but youths in their respective sports. In football, watch out for Aundray Bruce, Cornelius Bennett and Babe 1 aufenburg. You can laugh at Babe's name because he's a quarterback, but I advise peace and quiet in referring to the other two. In basketball, Alonzo Mourning will dominate for Georgetown while the Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets will battle for the first pick in next year's draft. Wayne Gretzky is L.A.'s baby, yet Calgary or Edmonton or some other Canadian team will take the Stanley Cup. It's hard to imagine that I had any other time to think on my trip back home, but I did. Every time I go back home (and I'm sure most people feel this way), I think about home. So, what went on at home while 1 was away for the summer? Sparky Woods wondered how he was going to replace guys like "Boom Boom" Anthony Downs, James "Hard Rock" Hardmann, and Leonard 'Hit Man" Lee. It's hard to believe that none, and I repeat, none of the ndividuals off last year's team made the NFL. What a joke! So, I guess out of all the changes hat happened this summer and all of the changes that are going to happen this year, the change in our football team hits home the hardest. My predictiori: Bjorn Nittmo kicks 66-yard field goal as Appalachian aptures the NCAA I-AA crown. In he driving snowstorm, Tim Sanders and Richie Melchor each gain over iwo hundred yards rushing and Bobby Fuller throws six touchdown passes. The final score... Appalachian 63, Northeast Louiiana 61. So much for truth in ports writing. As the days get shorter and the temperature begins to drop, a grow­ ing anticipation develops on the cam­ pus. No, I am not referring to the changing of the leaves, although the yearning anticipations are quite similar. The subject is ASU football. This Saturday's game will bring those anticipations to fruition. It will also provide this football squad with some early momentum,. The Apps open up with an ex­ perienced Citadel team, experienced at losing. The Bulldogs are coming off two consecutive 4-7 seasons. In all fairness to the Bulldogs, though, they did lose some very close games last year. They lost to V.M.I., Tennesee-1 Chattanooga and East Tennesee State by a total of 10 points. Even though the Citadel lost last year's game to ASU by the score of 27-17, they dominated the statistics, totaling 479 yards to the Mountaineers 248. The recent pseudo-success of the Bulldogs can be attributed to third-year headcoach Charlie Taaffe. Taaffe im­ plemented the wishbone in 1986 and the Dogs have been running ever since. Regardless of the growing success of the Citadel program, they simply are not ready to beat a squad with the caliber of the Mountaineers. Too many of the neccessary elements of success are missing from this year's Citadel team. possess. It's called confidence, and it is something the Citadel have not ful­ ly developed. Although they return 16 starters, the Bulldogs have been crippled by pre-season injuries claiming four of­ fensive starters. The most notable missing link is senior halfback Tom Frooman, who as a junior averaged 5.3 yards per carry. The Apps are favored to win the match-up and the reasons are simple. talented and explosive on offense, not to mention that they will start ten seniors. The second half, however, should belong to ASU. Winning breeds winners. ASU has bred an impressive family of winners. No matter how teams look on paper, the statistic that counts is the column that tallies the wins and losses. Over the past three years, ASU has found a way to compile more of the former than the latter. If Coach Sparky Woods has his way, and he usually does, the team's success will continue. In the past, the Mountaineers have found various ways to win. They may have won via a blocked punt, an in­ terception returned for a touchdown, or by recovering a crucial fumble. No matter how unaesthetic the route, the outcome has been the same. It is a quality that only winning teams Look for this Saturday's game to be close for a while. The Bulldogs are A stronger and bigger group of linemen should begin to wear down the Dogs and open up holes for the like of Ritchie Melchor and Tim Sanders. Another thing to watch for is the change to a more aggressive passing attack by ASU. If sophomore quarterback Bobby Fuller picks up where he left off, the Appalachian team could possess the most balanced attack in the league. The Citadel will win a few games this year and some of them will be upsets. This Saturday's game will not be one of them. The game begins at 1:30 pm in Kidd Brewer Stadium. Students, faculty, and staff are urged to come out and support the Apps in their 1988 season opener. I c Leading the aerial attack this year is QB Bobby Fuller. K u Southern Conference teams prepare for the seasop By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports Kditor and AUBREY HOOVER Assistant Sports F.ditor Passing: Sophomore QB Bobby Fuller will lead the air attack for the Apps in '88 after starting in the final four games last season, including the three Div. I-AA playoff games. Fuller completed 51 percent of his passes and four TDs, but more importantly he gained valuable game experience. WR Sam Wesley will be back after proving his potential in '87. The rest of the receiving corp will include Nate Young, Joe Briggs, and last year's back-up tight ends Reggie Spruill and Frank Roberts return. Rushing: This is one area where the Apps will be able to showcase proven talent, as they return five lettermen. TBs Ritchie Melchor and second team all-conference Tim Sanders will lead the Appalachian ground attack. Melchor led the team with 914 yards and 10 TDs last year. Kenny Dawson will start at fullback after sharing time last year with Doug Beaty, who graduated. Defense: The Apps return five starters defensively. Tackles Chris Conner and Jimmy Swoden are the lone starters returning up front. Although ASU lost a great set of in­ side linebackers due to graduation, the team does return two very capable players to patrol the outside in Sam Sanders and Xeno Williams. Keith Collins is the sole returnee to the secondary, which will also feature Mark Moore, Gary Dandridge, and converted wide receiver Dave Parker. Appalachian Stale Head Coach Sparky Woods. Kicking: The kicking game at ASU remains strong after a very successful '87 season, and will be a key factor in the upcoming year. All-SC punter Tony Cox, who averaged 38.6 yards a punt last year, is a doubtful starter early on due to a pre-season injury. Also returning is four-year starter Bjorn Nittmo, the Mountaireers' second team All-SC placekicker. Nittmo was 22 of 27 on FGs last year and made 26 of 28 PATs. He was also a perfect 13 of 13 FGs inside 40 yards. The Citadel. Passing: Head Coach Charlie Taafe will put the offense in the hands of Sr. Tommy Burris. Bur­ ns provided most of the offense last year, leading.the Bulldogs in rushing and passing. Phillip Florence will take over at WR, while Trent Donley returns at TE. Rushing: If the Dogs are going to be competitive, RBs Tom Rooman and Harold Singleton must help Bur­ ris on the ground. Defense: The Citadel returns seven starters including the entire secon- dary. J.D. Cauthen returns after hav­ ing eight interceptions in 1987. Kicking: Jr. Punter Hank Burriss, who averaged 36.4 yards an effort last year, returnss. Howard Barnard will handle the kicking. VMI. Passing: Third-year starting QB Dave Brown returns for his final season. His primary target is sure to be WR Mark Stock, who missed all but three games in 1987, and returns after averaging almost 25 yards a catch his So. year. Rushing: The Keydet's back field is very suspect and without an adequate ground game and VMI could again be destined for the Southern Conference cellar . TB Travis Mabrey is the lone back returning with any game ex­ perience. Defense: VMI returns six starters to a defense that gave up 325 yards a game last year. Anthony Mcintosh may be the best defensive back in the conference, but he will need plenty of help if the Keydets are going to be competive. Kicking: QB Dave Brown will again handle the punting chores, though he averaged just over 30 yards a kick in 87. So. Wade Hawkins is back after a solid rookie season. Furman Passing: The QB job remains up for grabs between Jr. Patrick Baynes and So. Frankie DeBusk. Both have virtually no game experience and will be working with receivers with even less. The Paladins receiving corp combined for five cat­ ches last season. Rushing: This is definitely the strongest part of Furman's team.

A native of Murphy, NC, Shope has been diagnosed as having cervical spinal stenosis. He was given a com­ plete physical when he reported for preseason workouts and was then sent to ASU orthopedic consultant Dr. Mark Kadyk, when ASU director of health services. Dr. Evan Ashby, spotted a problem during that testing. After seeing Kadyk, Shope was then sent to the Hickory Orthopedic Center in Hickory, NC, for more tests. "The doctors' findings caused us concern, stating that due to his condi­ tion (cervical spinal stenosis), his con­ tinued participation in football could lead to severe nerve damage," said ASU head athletic trainer Rod Walters. Shope was informed of his medical situation in a meeting with head coach Sparky Woods, Walters and Kadyk. The Mountaineers suffered another blow when All-Southern Conference punter Tony Cox underwent surgery Sunday morning to repair a broken jaw. Fractured in two places, Cox suf­ fered the broken jaw in an altercation with another ASU player on Saturday evening. "From the reports I have received, I would just call it a juvenile act," said head coach Sparky Woods. "It developed from a misunderstanding and led to very disappointing results." Woods said the extent of Cox' injuries and the amount of time it would take for him to recover are not known. "The important thing right now is for Tony to get his jaw repaired and for it to fully heal. Our concern at this time is not when he will play." 236 Host King Street • Boone NC 262-5585 COME TRY OUR FRESHLY BAKED BAGELS lub soccer to begin By DOUG DF.WAR \|>p;iliK'hiun Sial'f Writer n the next couple of weeks, Men's b Soccer will see approval to ome an official club sport at ASU. : team will play year-round, inling indoor in the winter.

Of course, these are only figures; however, the facts are as follows: fcpalachian State University won the Southern Conference in football Jth an unprecedented 7-0 conference record. ASU hosted the NCAA vision I-AA semi-final game, and only 9,229 ASU fans attended. In lee years, Appalachian has not lost a regular season home game. jThis is inexcusable.

People started believing this media sensationalism Dungeons and Dragons! An evil, with almost the same fear and belief satanic game of murder and sorcery? that was caused by War of the Worlds For many years, I suppose since in 1939. their creation, role-playing games The truth of the matter is that no have been the subject of controversy one will go insane merely by playing and condemnation. Many fictions Dungeons and Dragons, anymore and myths have arisen over the years than someone will go crazy by listen­ surrounding these games as a whole, ing to rock and roll music. Nor will especially those in the fantasy realm, they become a homicidal mass such as Dungeons and Dragons and murderer by eating McDonald's ham­ Middle Earth. But for the most part, burgers. all they are are myths and blind At least Mazes and Monsters was paranoia. honest about the fact when it was The public has dug up dirt about revealed in the movie that the Dungeons and Dragons for years; the youngster had been having media has really had a heyday with psychological problems since his the movie Mazes and Monsters and brother died, before he began playing the fiction novel Hobgoblin. Both the the game. As for the gossip rags, how movie and novel portray fictional can one take any of their articles accounts of a young teenager who seriously when the same publications gets deeply involved in games similar are printing stories like "Vampires to Dungeons and Dragons. He is Loose in Washington!" or "Woman eventually driven to strange delusions Carrying Space Alien's Baby!"

However, that is nine "true" stories, that I've counted, why it's called "slanted news." on teenagers who are heavily into por­ Media has not been the only party traying role playing games and who to condemn role-playing games. have committed suicide. The sad part Religion is probably one of the worst is that all these stories were eaten up butcherers of these games. Much of Appalachian Columnist the hyper-fundamental populace has declared an all-out war on these games. Everything from sermons to televangelist programs, to little booklets passed out to the masses confronts the unspeakable "evils" found in these games. My particular favorite was from a televangelist program called "The March of Truth." In this particular sermon, the reverend dealt with Dungeons and Dragons, graphically describing witchcraft and satanic rituals, which were carried out in game sessions and stating that these rituals could be found in "spellbooks" within the pages of Dungeons and Dragons' rulebooks. Other anti-gamers have portrayed similar events, citing instances of rape, sacrifices and voodoo magic. Obviously these critics read very little if any through these rulebooks, because there are no rituals or sacrificial ceremonies or anything of the sort outlined at all within these books, and these "spells" are merely short descriptions of game effects with no real incantations whatsoever. Any ideas for rituals and ceremonies would either come out of the individual's own warped mind, or from other truly evil publications such as the Necronomicon, the Great Grimoire, or other real spellbooks loose in society today which the same neo-prophets seem to completely ignore. I'm not denying that there are peo­ ple that pervert these games into something destructive, anymore than I'm denying that people will do the same with politics or with religion. But I am saying that they are a select, over-sensationalized few. I play role playing games, and I have for eight years now; a lot of my friends play them as well, and we live perfectly normal sane lives. I don't go around killing people, casting spells or dressing in weird black robes, and neither do my friends. Furthermore, I am a Chris­ tian and strive to live my life accord­ ingly. It ticks me off to hear people tell me that "You're going to hell for playing that game!" because that's all it is, a game; it is no more a means of forsaking God than "Life" or "Monopoly." So what am 1 leading into after all this? I am merely trying to illustrate how a select few events have been used and sensationalized to portray the realm of role-playing games as a source of evil and corruption. Also to explain that it is not the games' responsibility for perverting the players, but rather that people are responsible for perverting the games. In humanity's struggle to improve our daily life, things only get worse From Big Macs to Margarita Mondays There's something very wrong with humanity. Well, actually, there are many things wrong with humanity—too many to mention in only one article. Our government tangles us up in red tape, and the university tangles us up in black and gold tape... nobody can see the forest for the trees. An incident which illustrates so well how rules and regulations inhibit results happened to me at McDonald's recently. I worked every day this summer and I was running late one particular morning, I had a serious craving for a Big Mac. I was already twenty-five minutes late so I decided that five more minutes to grab a sandwich at the drive-thru wouldn't matter. I ordered a Big Mac and tea, only to hear a cheerful bubble-headedbleaehed-blonde voice tell me that it was still breakfast hours and that lunch was not yet being served. I looked at my clock. 10:28. Okay. I oidered a sausage biscuit and tea. I drove around to the window and paid. I drove to the next window and was handed my tea and told to "pull up" and park. I remained calm for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, I got out of my car and went into the restaurant to ask about my order. A manager-type informed me they had run out of biscuits and another batch was in the oven. I glanced down the counter at the numerous ditsy girls serving unlimited quantities of Big Macs to happy customers. I closed my eyes, silently imploded and demanded my money back. 1 have come to expect that kind of thing at school. At one time 1 was convinced the university employed a full-time Monkey Wrench staff to make sure that every process was unnecessarily complicated and to insure that nothing runs smoothly. After three years, however, 1 know that such a staff would be entirely unnecessary. Foul-ups happen at ASU all the time because of simple ineptitude. For fun, add up the number of hours you spent just waiting in lines this semester (drop-add, book rental, parking sticker, etc.). Multiply that number by nine (most of us will be in school at least nine semesters). Now multiply that number by $3.35 (the amount of money you could make if you spent that time working at McDonald's instead of waiting in line). I'd send the university a bill for my time but I'm worth more than minimum wage. I realize that waiting in some lines is unavoidable. There are ten or twelve thousand students here, all needing parking stickers, books, ID's (freshmen) and meal cards. There are only a limited number of people to fill out the necessary forms and take care of those other things. Simple solu­ tions to these problems are over­ looked too often, though. Why wasn't the bookstore open the Saturday before classes? The bookstore staff had about seventeen hours to rent and sell required books before classes began. When I went to rent my books I waited in line for an eternity. Actually, it did not take quite that long, but when I reached the end of the line (!) I was told that they could only give me one of my books, and the rest would have to wait until after my first class meetings (because they didn't know which books individual instructors had chosen for their sections). I silently imploded, and almost asked the lady if she had ever worked at McDonald's. I stopped myself though, realizing that it was not her fault, she was just doing her job. 1 was even nice. I said, "Thank you" and "Have a nice day." I took two Tunis and prayed that my ulcer would leave me alone. I added a class this semester, too. What an ordeal. I was required to get signatures from everyone official just short of President Reagan.. .but the worst part (this really pissed me off) is that not one official person actually signed anything for me. Secretaries signed for deans and department chairmen, and they didn't even look at what they were putting a name on. 1 can't figure out now why 1 even bothered with the formalities... anyone can forge a signature, even me. / realize the scenery here is quite beautiful, but seriously folks, if you 're 65 and haven't seen a moun­ tain by now, it's probably too late to even matter. There's another serious problem with humanity that I'm really in the mood to gripe about. It's those girls who spend hours plastering on a face before they go to their 8 a.m. classes. It amazes me that any person could be vain enough to spend that much time that early in the morning just to look good for a bunch of boys who are too tired to even notice. I could deal with that, though. The really intolerable thing was walking downwind from this freshman girl yesterday morning. She liked hair spray. A lot. She had used so much of it that the fumes were choking every living thing within 10 feet of her head. 1 wondered if those fumes were flammable, and for the first time in my life I regretted being a non-smoker.. . I've been wanting to gripe about this for too long, and since all I've done is complain already, it's the perfect opportunity. FLORIDA^ DRIVERS. These people are respon­ sible for almost all of the traffic prob­ lems in this town. Has anyone else noticed how slow these idiots drive? 1 have often wanted to get out of my car and walk beside them for a while, just to let them know how unpleasant they make life for the rest of us. More often, though, I've wished for nuclear warheads mounted on top of my car, with "the button" on my steering wheel. I realize the scenery here is quite beautiful, but seriously folks, if you're 65 and haven't seen a mountain by now, it's probably too late to even matter. A final word to you Floridian drivers: red means stop and green means go, and it's very rude to turn without signaling. I'm reserving a special finger-gesture for each and every one of you. One final complaint for the week. I miss Marguarita Mondays. For those of you who don't know, Marguarita Mondays are held at Tijuana Fats' (a trendy Mexican restaurant in Blowing Rock). On Mondays Tijuana's has traditionally discounted their Marguaritas and tequila shots. A few weeks ago, some sort of disturbance occurred that was blamed on Marguarita Monday, and this festive event was discontinued for an indefinite length of time. Ever since that happened, I've been lost, unable to decide how to spend my Monday evenings. I have tried going to other bars, but their drinks don't aggravate my ulcer like those traditional Fats' Marguaritas with heavy salt. If anyone else misses the opportunity to destroy a whole week's worth of pro­ ductive studying with one good tequila hangover, please call Tijuana's, ask to speak to someone in charge, and tell them you miss your Marguarita Mondays. 1 et's hope it works, and I'll see you there. Suggestions to avoid temptation N E X T WEEK. 1 To the Editor: LIFE IN iaell RETURNS... It's been interesting to see all the controversy in recent weeks about the movie The Last Temptation of Christ. Many people are probably unaware that much of the controver­ sy was made up. The main intent of the various people who opposed the movie was not that the movie shouldn't be seen, but rather they didn't think it fit to be seen in the way it was — grossly misrepresented the character of Jesus Christ. Many have objected and said the actual movie protrayed the "human side" of Christ. There's nothing wrong with that unless you leave out the fact that He was sinless. It seems that the writer of the movie failed to see what many peo­ ple of our day fail to see concerning who Jesus is. Jesus never claimed to be just a great moral teacher who became the Savior. He claimed and proved He was God who willingly gave His life for man's sin. The op­ tion of even considering Him to be just a great teacher never existed. Think about this example: if you had a brother or sister who had a se­ cond grade teacher that insisted 2 + 2 = 5, would you consider them to be a great teacher? So it is with Jesus, He made many statements about being God (not becoming God) that can only mean He was a liar or a lunatic, unless of course He spoke the truth. If He did speak the truth, then that leaves one choice — He must be LORD! It's up to us to accept or reject that. If there are those who hope to see the movie to learn more about Jesus, I suggest they get a copy of The Bible. There are four different perspectives on the life of Jesus in the Gospels. Aside from these four excellent sources, C.S. Lewis wrote a classic entitled Mere Christianity. Willliam E.

After his campaign for lieutenant gover­ nor he was convicted of influence peddling and sentenced to 18 months in jail. Of this sentence, he served four and one half mon­ ths. "Basically, influenced peddling is what the term means. It's the ability to peddle and sell influence for political or personal gain." Professor of Political science Richter H. Morre Jr. said. According to Chancellor Thomas, Brewer's past is well-known and made no difference in the decision to rename the stadium after him. "Mr. Brewer has been a person we've been extremely proud of," said Thomas, "We have no question at all about naming the stadium after him." "I think we looked at Kidd overall, for me it was not a source of concern," said Athletic Director Jim Gardner." William J. Conrad will have the computer center in the new College of Business named after him. Conrad was treasurer of R.J. Reynolds and an ASU trustee. According to Athletic Director Jim Gardner, Conrad had little involvement in athletics on campus.

Appalachian Copy Editor Approximately 5,000 students turn­ ed out for drop/add last week to ad­ just their schedules. "Between Tuesday, when drop add started, until Thursday, when it end­ ed, nearly 5,000 transactions took place," Registrar Brooks McCleod said. Drop/add officially started when the registration process ended Monday. "It's impossible to not have lines and it's a price students pay during the shopping process when they have the discretion to change their classes." Brooks McLeod Registrar On Monday we had 9,300 (student) already registered who had prepaid or had financial aid so their schedules were protected," McCleod said. Entering freshmen, underclassmen and gradute students who had not previously registered did so on Mon­ day. those who had incomplete schedules or had not registered were allowed in the registration area followed by those who needed to make adustments in their schedules. Lines continued to form from the mtside of I.G. Greer to the front of classes." he added. One reason for lines during the drop/add period is the limited number of computer terminals. "It's hard to set up terminals and find people to work them. We had 15 terminals running all the time (during drop/add.)" McLeod said. "The key is to get your schedule up front at the time of registration. It's the changing of the schedule that peo­ ple run into problems and time con­ flicts," he added. The Registrar's Office is consider­ ing a touch-tone registration system for future use. "It is state of the art in terms of registering, where people will call and not have to come physically to register," McLeod said. "Its a possibility for the future if we can implement it, but I don't know how effective it will be on a drop/add basis," he added. A change from last year's drop/add was the addition of an extra day before the actual start of classes to ad­ just schedules. 'The worst day was Tuesday and lines were long but moving pretty well," McLeod said.

Freshmen now park at the new Itorage lots on State Farm Road. The Restrictions on freshman parking are I aore stringent than in previous years. I "(The storage lots were) a concept I hat was derived last Spring semester Ivhen we were looking at ways to imI irove parking because parking was so lough around campus last year," I director of Public Safety and Security I toy Tugman said. Tugman said upcoming construe I ion, in particular the construction of I he new business building, would 1educe the number of spaces available I >n campus. This was one factor that ed to the construction of the storage ots. Tugman said the decision to build I torage lots came after heavy deliberaI ion of other options, one which inI luded prohibiting freshmen from I taving vehicles. "Rather than saying to freshmen, Ive can no longer accommodate you, Ive will build an area and put them in 11... so that they can have a vehicle in I own. But we weren't able to accomI nodate them on the university itself," Irugman said. Tugman added the State Farm proI jerty could easily accommodate up to 530 vehicles. Freshmen may bring cars on cam­ pus at noon Fridays and use the 20-minute parking zones until 5:30. At this time, they may park in any legal spot on campus until Sunday night, but no later than 7 a.m. Mon­ day morning, Tugman said. Tugman added that freshmen are exempt from the six ticket towing policy, by which a vehicle is towed after receiving six tickets. "If a vehicle is found in violation, it will be towed rather than just ticketed," he said. Tugman stressed that freshmen will have access to their vehicles on weekdays. "There is a misconception.. .that we are putting (the vehicles) under lock and key and that is not true," Tugman said. He further added that while freshmen have access to their cars during the week, they may not bring it to campus except in special cir­ cumstances, such as a death in the family. The Appalcart, a shuttle bus, runs to the storage lots on Friday after­ noons and again on Sundays so any students wishing to leave Boone for the weekend may do so. The Ap­ palcart runs on State Farm Road dur­ ing the week, which requires a short walk to the storage lots. "I don't want to encourage them to do that on a regular basis, but if they wish to do so it's perfectly feasible to do," Tugman said. Sophomores and Juniors living on campus may park at Horn in the West, Edgewood, and Greenwood lots. "Seniors are the only group of oncampus people that we gave any priority to," Tugman said. He added most seniors were assigned to the Doughton parking lot, Stansberry, or the Stadium lot. Tugman said no exceptions have been made at this time for on-campus students who have jobs off-campus. "We will look at that situation in terms of what the parking looks like on campus. If it turns out that we have a lot of room, then of course we would utilize that and help those peo­ ple," Tugman said. Tugman added the possibility of any extra spaces becoming available were slim. "Based on registration and the number we have assigned in all of our commuting lots, 1 don't anticipate that will be a possibility this semester," Tugman said. Parking for off-campus students has changed also. "We did expand the geographic boundaries somewhat this year. We did that in order to eliminate a few vehicles from people who had either good Appalcart access or were close enough to walk. This will help the commuter parking situation," Tugman said. Tugman added for $14, students within the geographic boundaries may get a "T" decal which allows them to park on-campus after 5:30 and on weekends. The current parking fee for oncampus upperclassmen and com­ muting students is $50. "(One alternative to the parking situation) is to create additional park­ ing on campus," Tugman said. "We hope within two years time to see some ground breaking on con­ struction of a parking deck which will hold 300 to 400 cars right on camDUS." Tugman said. Tugman said these traffic changes were made through efforts of a Traf­ fic Committee made up of faculty, staff, and students. Many different campus organiza­ tions had input into the parking situa­ tion. "Without specifically looking at those alternatives (made by various organizations, and SGA), I'd have to say yes we did and no we didn't (use those alternatives)," he said. "We hope we didn't exclude anyone's ideas and we didn't use anyone's 100 percent. What we did was use a certain amount of everyone's ideas hopefully to come up with a better system," Tugman said. Tugman commended the student body especially the freshmen for their compliance with the parking regula­ tions so far. United Way starts The United Way will hold its an­ nual ASU fundraiser from September 1 through October 31. Last year, the United Way's cam­ pus campaign raised approximately $27,000. "ASU has been a fairly strong sup­ porter of the local United Way," chairman of student fundraising Mike Boone said. "We had about 40 percent par­ ticipation from staff and faculty of the university," he added. Boone is also director of the Hospitality House In Boone which provides housing, food and counsel­ ing for people in emergency situa­ tions. The Hospitality House is a reci­ pient of United Way funds. The fundraiser is part of a larger Watauga County drive that began on August 1. "The campaign in this area is a lit­ tle earlier than in other areas because we are so dependent upon the resort community and the tourist sector of our environment here," Boone said. The goal for the entire county is $130,000. According to Boone this nunber is not necessarily high "If you were to total up all the budgets of all the agencies supported by the United Way, the goal would be around $300,000," Boone said. "There still is a long way to go for the United Way to be able to fund...all those organizations at the entry they need to exist, without hav­ ing to fundraise all year long," he ad­ ded. The goal for ASU students is set at $5,000, and the United Way will first target organizations within the university system "I'll be working through Alpha Phi Omega (a service fraternity) to ap­ proach all the other organizations on campus and for them to be the vehicle in which they approach the individual students, said Boone. Although head of the student fundraising, Boone also works under Tom Adams, who heads the entire universi­ ty campaign. The Watauga United Way is a non­ profit organization that supports agencies such as the Boy and Girl Scouts, 4-H club and the American Red Cross. It currently supports 25 different agencies within Watauga County.

H While not all students are partiers, H large percentage would take a party Over a fun-filled evening in the library any day. The consumption of alcohol on our campus must conform to many rules. These rules will be strictly enforced this year. The following is a summary of the rules provided by the Office of Student Affairs: —Under N.C. law it shall be un­ lawful for any person under the age of 21 to possess or con­ sume any alcoholic beverages that contain more than one half of one percent of alcohol by volume. —According to ASU policy, only students 21 years of age and over are permitted to consume alcoholic beverages within the confines of their residence hall rooms or a residence hall room in which they are a guest. The number of occupants of stu­ dent rooms at any given time should not exceed eight. This is the only place on campus, other than officially designated areas, that students of legal age are permitted to possess or consume alcoholic heverages. -Possession and carrying open alcoholic beverages from room to room, floor to floor, or any other residence hall public area is prohibited. -Also, the possession of alcoholic beverages by anyone under the age of 21, including the possession of an unopened container, will result in the stu­ dent being written up and the student having to appear in Student Court. The current penalty for underaged possession on campus by a first-time offender is three months probation. The penalty for possession of alcohol along with public drunkeness is four months. You will more than likely be written up on your first offense, so do not anticipate a warning. If you drink, please do not drive.

"My parents pay for my tuition," University of Virginia senior Susie Bruce said. "My mom is a nurse, and she's working extra shifts until I graduate to pay for my tuition." "1 know it's going to hurt me," University of Illinois junio David Dunphy said. His tuition rose $306, from $2,092 to $2,398. "I'll be able to make it. A lot of my friends won't. I'll work in a record store ot McDonalds." "I worked 20 hours a week last year. I don't know how I'll be able tc work more, but you do what you can to make up the difference." The average student will pay 7 per­ cent more for tuition and fees this academic year, the College Board found in its annual tuition report released in mid-August. Inflation, as measured by consumer prices, was 4 percent since fall 1987. Prices for the average public four year school increased an average of 4 percent to $1,483. At private four year schools, tuition and fees shot up an average of 9 percent to $6,457. At two year colleges, the average charge for tuition and fees rose 5 per­ cent to $750 at public schools, and 9 percent to $4,415 at private institu­ tions. The good news, noted Bob Aaron of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Col­ leges, is that such jumps are smaller than the double-digit increases of the early 1980s. "The trend is a decrease in the in­ crease." Whatever the trend, it hasn't kept University of Rochester resear­ chers, for example, determined that lowering tuition doesn't necessarily draw more students to campus. "There was no evidence that a tuition drop would improve market posi­ tion," research consultant Beverly Joyce said. "The public doesn't view shopping around for colleges like (it does) for other consumer items," Rochester Vice President Jim Scannell said. "They're looking for quality, and they're not willing to trade that off." "Investing in a college education for oneself and one's children may well be the second largest consumer purchase, second only to buying a house," Kathleen Brouder of the Col­ lege Board said. students out of class. While official numbers aren't out yet, many cam­ puses received record numbers of ap­ plications for fall term, indicating that Americans are willing to pay more for college. "People want to get a college degree and will pay whatever it takes to get it," Deputy undersecretary of education Bruce Carnes said. He believes colleges are charging more because they know their consumers, students, can simply turn around and borrow more from the federal govern­ ment. "Under those circumstances, there are no constraints (on price)." Tuition increases, of course, varied from school to school. Public schools like the University of Michigan and Geoge Mason University, for in­ stance, increased tuition 12 percent. Penn State and Michigan State raised tuition by 9.7 percent while the University of Virginia raised tuition about 7 percent. The University of Alabama increased out-of-state tui- tion 16.4 percent, while residents' tui­ tion is 4.5 percent greater than last year. Orange Coast Community College students will pay 51 percent more for tuition this year. The California school raised last year's $100 tuition to $151. Students at Blackfeet Com­ munity College in Montana will pay $1,305, $370 more than last year. "I worked 20 hours a week last year. I don 7 know how I'll be able to work more, but you do what you can to make up the difference. " David Dunphy University of Illinois j u n i o r California's Loma Linda Universi­ ty, a private school, raised its tuition by almost 6 percent this year. That increase, however, seems moderate compared to other small private colleges. The College of Idaho raised its tuition 31 percent, from $6,150 last year to $8,032 this year. Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey raised its tuition $1,475 to $12,025. » Some schools didn't raise their prices, and some even reduced them. NEEDLE New York's Sullivan County Com­ munity College, for one, reduced its tuition from $1,510 to $1,430. The University of Mississippi held its tui­ tion at $1,780. Easter Arizona College kept its tuition at $500. A few campus observers think such prices have hit a limit. "There's a feeling out there among the electorate that college costs are going beyond their reach," Jennifer Afton of the Education Commission for the States said. Afton and others believe states, banks and governments will have to develop pre-payment tuition plans, savings bond programs and other ways to keep students registering in the future. They think tuition may keep climb­ ing faster than inflation in the near future. "I don't have a crystal ball," Aaron said. "I can't project what costs will be. But I don't see anything on the horizon that will change anything." This year's increase has not chang­ ed Reagan administration criticism that prices are rising mostly because colleges are wasteful, because they need to support bloated bureaucracies, because to much aid is available to students and because high tuition makes them see prestigious. "We are, of course, not at all sur­ prised by these increases," Carnes said. "We have stated that, so far as we can see, the price of college is go­ PROFESSIONAL CLOTHING ALTERATIONS REPAIRS OF ALL TYPES (NO JOB TOO SMALL) ONE DAY EXPRESS SERVICE AVAILABLE 607 EAST KING STREET • BOONE, NC AROUND THE CORNER FROM DANt BOONE INN EXPRESS Special - Retail $25.00 Sterling Silver ASU Charm $3.88 - Retail $7.95 If you don't mind spending less. in Boone Heights provide more financial aid for lowincome students. Campuses need to get the money from students, moreover, because state and federal governments generally have cut the amount of money they appropriate to colleges. "We're responding to the realities that exist," Georgetown University spokeswoman Anne Klass said. At least one student agrees: "It's still pretty cheap," Alabama junior Ray Cole said. His tuition was in­ creased almost 5 percent, or $35. "I don't think it's too much. I think it should be even higher, so they can put money into programs that need it." WELCOMES ALL ASU STUDENTS!!!

Renelle Massey of the University of South Florida found that challenging students' assumptions that alcohol makes them funny, brave, more sociable, sexier or better in some other way is the most effective way of getting students to cut down their drinking. "We're looking at this as an ap­ proach to prevention of alcohol abuse," Massey said. Some studies indicate as many as 82 percent of the nation's collegians drink regularly, and excessive drink­ ing has turned into a problem at many schools. Some studies indicate as many as 82 percent of the nation's collegians drink regularly, and excessive drinking has turned into a problem at many schools. Intoxicated students were blamed for turning a 1986 Colorado State University block party into a riot, while hundreds have been arrested during spring break riots in Palm Beach, Calif., and Palm Springs, Fla. in recent years. Drunken parties at Iowa State and the University of California-Santa Barbara last spring also led to arrests, injuries and van­ dalism. Excessive drinking has killed several students in recent years: a Rutgers University fraternity pledge died in February after a "drink till you're sick" hazing session, for ex­ ample. In 1985, a University of Col­ orado sorority pledge was killed after falling from a bridge during a drunken party. Hoping to curb such incidents and comply with lower drinking age laws, most campuses have developed "alcohol awareness programs" that generally focus on the ill effects of drinking. The USF study is among the first to examin student drinking from an expectations point of view. ™" USF had students record their nor­ mal alcohol consumption for three weeks and then assigned 25 to a pro­ gram to lower their expectations of what alcohol could do for them. Twenty-five others joined a more traditional program about the dangers of excessive drinking, and 27 received no counseling at all. In one activity, students in the first groupd were given either an alcoholic beverage or a placebo, but not told which. Afterward, the group played Charades. Students were then asked to guess who was given alcohol, based on their Charades performances. "Everybody made mistakes," Massey said. Their inaccuracy led to a discussion of how people have been taught through television, advertising and everyday conversation that alcohol ean make people witty and sociable. "Showing students how wrong those expectations are," Massey said, "is a lot more potent that just telling people about the potential hazards of excessive drinking." High-level drinkers in the ex­ perimental program went from an average 9.7 drinks per week to 6.1, while low-level drinkers dipped from 5.5 to four. High-level students in the tradi­ tional program, however, changed only from 10.9 drinks per week to 9.4. l ow-level drinkers reduced their con­ sumption from 6.4 to three drinks per week. (CPS)—Bishop College, a 108-yearold traditionally black school was ordered to close by a federal judge after it failed to raise almost $2 million needed to cover its prospective 1988-89 deficit. Bishop, whose financial woes and enrollment problems began a decade ago, is the latest small private college to close as college costs skyrocket and the pool of available high school graduates diminishes. A 1982 University of Michigan study predicted that as many as 200 small, private colleges like Bishop would close by 1990. That dire prediction didn't materialize, said David Ray of the Na­ tional Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, but many small, religious and black institutions have been forced to close or merge with healthier schools. Earlier this year, for example, Loretto Heights College in Denver, a small Catholic school, was forced to merge with Regis College. In 1986, financial problems pushed Tift College in Atlanta to merge with Mercer University and forced Berkshire Christian College in Massachusetts to close its doors. In 1984, enrollment and financial pro­ blems forced Rhode Island's Barrington College to merge with Gordon College. Generally, however, "enrollments are steady" at the smaller private campuses, Ray reported. "The seats are still full." James Miller, who conducted the Michigan study, said he overestimated the number of small colleges that would close because he underestimated "the institutional tenacity" of schools like Bishop. "There have been remarkably few that have closed," Miller said. "Bishop provides an example of how hard it is to kill a college, or rather, how fiercely colleges cling to life." Bishop, the only predominantly black campus in the Dallas area, had "There have been remarkably few that have dosed. Bishop provides an example of how hard it is to kill a college, or rather, how fiercely colleges cling to life." James Miller University of Michigan struggled for 16 months to raise the $1.85 million bankruptcy Judge Robert C. McGuire said was necessary to open the school this fall. Campus supporters, who estimate the school owes about $18 million to creditors, attempted to keep the school open with an intensive fundraising drive that included selling T-shirts outside the federal cour­ thouse. George McElreath, the federal bankruptcy trustee overseeing the case, said attorneys told him that donations had increased to about $7,000 per day in early August. "But that's not enough." "It's a sad day," Bishop senior Wayne Croomes said. "I was hoping something positive would come out of it. It's time for me to move on from the school, which specialized in religion and education." "I think there is a real need for Bishop College in the Dallas area," Dallas Mayor Annette Strauss said. "I hope it can be reorganized at a later time. It serves a good purpose." "You have an institution that has a particular kind of heritage and that has done a particular kind of job in preparing for participation in the culture that has been lost," Chairman of Bishop's board of trustees Rev. William Shaw said. Small, black and religious schools such as Bishop, whose 1967 peak enrollment of 1,500 had dropped to about 300, can find economic pressures simply too great, Ray said. Such schools have small en­ dowments, rely on tuition as a primary source of funding and try to keep prices down for their traditional constituencies of local low-income families. "They walk a fine line," said Ray. Bishop's slide began in the later 1970s when three top administrators were indicted on charges of embezzl­ ing student aid funds. Although two were acquitted and the other was con­ victed only on a misdemeanor charge, Bishop's image never recovered. "It's sad, it's very sad," said Ray. "These type of schools perform a real service."

When you were a young school child, you may have had to draw a picture of you, your parents and your little sister at the beach or in the car on the way to grandmother and grandaddy's house. As you got older, the assignment progressed to a paragraph of short, choppy sentences explaining what you and your best friend did at summer camp, until finally your teachers expected you to compose a five hun dred word essay discussing the merits of scooping ice cream for $3.65 an hour at the local ice cream shop. I was thinking back to all the What I Did For Summer Vaca tion" stuff as I was deciding what t do as my first column and I decided that summer was as good a topic as any. The only problem was I spent my summer here in Boone for the first session of summer school, and then at home in Greensboro scoop­ ing ice cream at the same place I've been working at forever. So, instead of boring everybody with the details of my less-than-spectacular summer I'll tell you all about other people's glamorous summers. One of the things I've always wondered about was what it'd be like to work in the "real world." My friend Robert Burns spent the summer as an intern in Raleigh. He worked for the. Wake County Com­ missioner's office, which fit in nicel with his city/county management major. He found this job (which, b the way, was a paying job) through an ad he saw in Workman Hall. From May 26 until the beginning of August, he lived on the Meredith College campus with other interns involved in state and local govern­ ment. According to him, it was great, the best summer job he'd eve had. His duties included acting as a legislative liaison, public relations work, speeches and slideshows, and seeing how local bills were doing. He said he got taken out to lunch a lot, and he even got to go to a city/ county managers convention in Charlotte (all expenses paid). As for life in Raleigh, Robert said it was "better than being at home" and he was with "a great bunch of interns." He recommends this pro gram to anyone who is interested in being a city or county manager. Did anything bad happen to him while on the job? Robert said he had to walk down eleven flights of stairs during a fire drill (at least it wasn't at some ridiculous hour like fire drills around here) and once when he went to see a commissioner she passed out in her office as he walked in. All in all, Robert said he enjoyed his "job in the real world, but college is great." Some other friends of mine also had what I'd call happening sum­ mers. Michele Hollowell and Billy Vinson went to Europe through one °f the ASU sponsored trips, The Odyssey of Western Lit. This pro gram is offered through the English Department, and Dr. Richard Rupp and Dr. Bill Wolff are in charge. The trip lasted from May 18 to June 13, and participants got six hours of credit. Michele discovered 'his trip from a poster she saw in San ford Hall. She said the group went to Greece, Italy, Austria, Germany, France, and England. For Michele, Germany was the highlight of the trip, especially the Hofbrau Haus in Munich. Billy agreed, calling the Hofbrau Haus 'he world's best party." Billy also said that he liked the big German women. Another thing Michele liked) ln Germany was the fact that people were so friendly and the country wa? so clean. She said the group got lost ui the people were so helpful. Both Michele and Billy agreed ' at Athens was their least favorite Part. Michele said the Greek Isles ^e'e beautiful, but she hated 'hens; and Billy said that Athens was kind of nasty." Billy also 't like Paris. He said "Walkin' °wn the streets of Paris is like walkin' through a pasture." i ; ichele, however, thought Paris was '''credible. She also told me about e Pubs in London and how they cosed ear'y so everyone would go tol 'he discos. In fact Michele said the group 'scoed their way through See VACATION Page 12 I became aware of the new sculptures on campus this summer when our beloved Vice President Frank "Moose" Callis said "Have you seen that ugly thing in front of Newland?" That seems to be the general at­ titude of students towards these new sculptures. I dunno, 1 kinda think they're mostly pretty ugly, too. But then how carefully have we been examining them? I remember when everyone was cussing last year's efforts. Ugly, ugly, everyone said. I personally was irritated by the "Bird House Field" in front of Wey Hall. Every day I would walk by it, with all its poles sticking up in the air, and feel irritation at the fact that someone got paid to waste time on a silly piece of crap. But somewhere along the line I started looking at the birdhouses, with the birds landing and taking off and doing bird stuff. And my atten­ tion was drawn to the bird struck dead by a random bolt of lightning. I was struck by the meaning of the piece. All those birds were living their lives, going about their business, and a bird that looked no different from the rest was struck stone dead in their midst. And the other birds didn't even seem to notice. If I had created the piece, 1 would have titled it "Everybody's Number Comes Up Sometime." I still miss that darn thing. Moose reports that he had finally gotten used to the ribbon thing in frOntofthe I ihrarv if W 3 C f a V„n front of the library when it was taken away. I kind've liked that one, too. It had a sinuous flow to it. I have no idea what it could have meant, but I thought it was easy on the eyes. I trust my point is made about the new stuff. We need to look at the sculptures carefully before we totally dismiss them as just being "ugly" and nothing else. Allow me a few words about the nature of art and creativity. I think of myself as an artistic person, someone who creates creatively. I was told that I could be creative with this article. I think that's partly because there's supposed to be a news piece about the sculptures in the next issue to supply the cold-hard facts, and partly because the editor hoped my insights would make good reading. I think a lot of my writing is mind candy. I trot out a few friviolities and some rambling arguments and some people think it's clever. I don't know. Unlike a well-written article which exists to communicate clearly, those sculptures ask people to think for themselves. Naturally, nobody likes that. 1 didn't like the thing in front of Sanford Hall until someone pointed out that it might be a representation of a viking holding a shield. But don't take my word for it, go decide for yourself. I have no idea what the pink thing in front of Newland is. The doohickey in front of the library, which I've heard called "Spare-Ribs," makes me think about rust and dead machinery. Sure is butt'ugly, though. The thingamabob in front of Far­ rSinn 1 1._ i:» , thing Auditorium looks like a Greek column made of metal with pieces of old tires attached. It makes me think about civilization and the junk that results. I like the one in front of Wey Hall with the rows of planks decorated with Indian designs. I heard someone say yesterday that it looks like a graveyard; I think maybe that's the point, though. I didn't see the front of that one for two weeks after it appeared. If you walk up to Wey Hall beside Newland, it looks like aluminum siding from behind. I wonder if the dichotomy between the shiny, new back and the ancientlooking front is intentional? Could that be part of its meaning? You decide. 1 don't know whether the piece in front of the Jones House in town is part of the same program, but I've heard complaints that a modern sculpture is inappropriate in front of an antique house. It looks shapeless from the street, but viewed from the sidewalk on the side, it looks like a half-metal cross leaning against a wheel. Could the wheel be the roll-away gravestone of Christ's tomb? Jungian psychology might say the shapes are the cylinder and circle, basic to the racial psyche. Freud would probably infer something sex­ ual. Whatever they mean, we can't call in the taste police and have these sculptures carted away. We can learn by looking them over for their significance. You decide what it is. CAMPUS ARTWORKS: One of the many pieces of modern art spread about campus. This one is located next to Belk Library. Some fresh thoughts on ASU from a freshman By DARRYL N. PARKER, JR. Appalachian Slaff YVrifer If you are an upperclassman, look around at the Freshman class this year at ASU. We're a knockout and we're hitting the campus in style. This freshman class is the brightest, most select group in ASU enrollment history. We're here to tackle the fall semester motivated by freedom, a drive to succeed, and, of course, the parties. It was a big adjustment for some of us, and for others it wasn't a radical change; however, we share the thoughts that run through every freshman's head as he leaps fullthrottle into his college career. When first driving into Boone I was unable to see five feet in front of my face because of the fog. After finding a parking space half a mile from the dorm, I began unloading my car in the beginning of drizzle. By the time I was on my last trip from the car, the drizzle had turned into a steady rain. I've stood in line for tex­ tbooks, paperbacks, lab sign-ups, breakfast, the pay phone, lunch, the post of­ fice, dinner and concert tickets. ASU is a pretty linear place. A little damp, I got up to the dorm room and began to organize my stuff—stereo here, television there. Then what do I hear but a knock at the door followed by a parade of peo­ ple burdened with more things. My roommate had arrived. Our room looked as if a freak tornado had rip­ ped through it. Having plenty of time to get settled, a hall meeting was called followed by our introduction to Freshman Orien­ tation Phase II. Orientation definitely made one feel like a dreaded underclassman. In­ stant identification of a freshman could be made by the Phase II rain­ bow folders. I saw very few people wearing the ice-breaker nametags. However, Orientation was good for us. I never realized how little I knew about our campus. I attended almost every meeting, asking questions and Greek Rush begins this week By TIM SELLERS Appalachian Slaff Writer The beginning of the fall semester brings much excitement for freshmen and transfer students as they adjust to their new surroundings. New students, as well as returning students have many opportunities to acquaint themselves with different organizations. One such opportunity is Rush. Get­ ting to know the brothers and sisters of the 11 fraternities and sororities is the main purpose of Rush. "It's a period to make friends," Kappa Alpha Rush co-chairman Steve Fuller said. It is simply a time to take a closer look at Greek life. Although their objectives are the same, fraternity and sorority Rush differ greatly. Fraternities begin their Rush with the Inter-Fraternity Coun­ cil's Kickoff on August 29 in the Stu­ dent Union. Each fraternity is represented giving the prospective pledges a chance to meet people from all the groups. After the kickoff, rushees are free to attend the activities of any fraterni­ ty they wish. It is not uncommon for one person to rush two or more fraternities so they may interact with different groups. The Inter-Fraternity Council makes it easier to rush dif­ ferent fraternities by designating September 6, 7, and 8 as Formal Rush days, meaning that each fraternity is assigned one of these nights to have a party. This ensures that prospective pledges will be able to attend more parties with different fraternities. Activities generally consist of non­ alcoholic socials which are geared toward acquainting the rushee with the fraternity, while at the same time acquainting the fraternity with the rushee. After these activities are com­ pleted, bids are extended to in­ dividuals. Generally, the rushee has 24-48 hours to accept or decline the bid. Upon accepting the bid, he becomes a pledge of that fraternity. Sorority Rush begins with a registration period which occurs bet­ ween August 29 and September 2. In order to register, a rushee must com­ plete an application with her special interests, hobbies, and grades in high school. Rushees must also pay a four dollar registration fee. Because there may be anywhere from 350-400 girls participating in Rush, each one is ask­ ed to provide six pictures which are then sent to each sorority to enable them to better recognize the in­ dividual rushee. Activities begin with a short orien­ tation in which the rushee receives in­ formation on the history and tradi­ tion of Greek life. The rushees are separated into groups of about 20-30 girls. These groups then attend the Rush functions together. A series of parties are planned which enable the girls to meet each sorority. "It's an exciting time for both the sorority and the rushee," President of Panhellenic Council Meg Dutnell says. Bids will go out Saturday, September 17, from 10 a.m.- 12 a.m. Through a process called bidmatching, a rushee receives one bid and has 24 hours to accept or decline. Whether or not a person goes Greek, Rush offers those a chance to really get to know other people around campus while also taking a closer look at the Greek way of life. learning more about ASU. Those of you who didn't go must have had your priorities confused or maybe didn't have a good-looking APPOL Corps leader like mine. One thing the freshman weren't on the first day of classes was oriented. It must have been too early in the morn­ ing for us. I didn't think I'd ever get to class considering I awakened just 15 minutes earlier. Is anyone here getting the impres­ sion the teachers are playing mind games with us? The classes I thought would be hard are coming off as easy, and the easy classes are a little tougher than I expected. Something is going on here. I can't say that I have any teachers I dislike. There are some weird ones out there from what I've heard, and there I walked over to Drop/Add from Stadium Heights and it seemed like I stepped out of the dorm right into a line that wrapped around the campus. Lines have gotten to be a familiar sight. I've stood in line for textbooks, paperbacks, lab sign-ups, breakfast, the pay phone, lunch, the post office, dinner and concert tickets. ASU is a pretty linear place. While standing in the lines, I got a chance to take a concentrated look at the campus. The first thing I noticed was the distance between Stadium See FRESH THOUGHTS Page 14 The best of Boone survey It seems like Boone is getting big­ ger every day, but some things still stay the same, or do they?

Once again, a new school year has begun. With it comes a mass influx ot new freshmen, new to the college scene, with much to learn about col­ lege life. Here to help them make the transi­ tion is the APPOL Corps, the group responsible for Phase Two of student orientation. The responsibility of the APPOL Corps in student orientation was to plan a program of activities to enter­ tain the freshmen as well as to initiate them into the scheme of things at ASU. Starting on Saturday, August 20, the orientation program ran through Tuesday, with activities for the freshman planned from morning 'till night. APPOL Corps coordinator Trent Huffman explained the workings of the orientation: "What we did was to divide the freshmen into groups of twenty, each group assigned to an APPOL Corps leader. There were almost a hundred leaders involved in the program this year." The program in all consisted of 17 activities including group interactions w with their leaders, an exchange ses- Some things you can do to get attention and stand out from the rest sion with a member of the teaching faculty, information exchanges with clubs, fraternities and other cocurricular groups. In addition, a leader guided a tour of the campus, as well as entertainment like a perfor­ mance by hypnotist James Mapes, and a casino night which included bowling, pool and Las Vegas casino type games. For the most part it seems that Phase Two wen! over with success. Huffman commmented on the success of the program, but did state that he had a minor greivance with the atten­ dance of the freshmen to these ac­ tivities. "The attendance was real good at first," Huffman said, "but by Tuesday, the number of freshmen attending all the activities really dwindled. 1 would have liked to see more regular attendance because this is what really gives the freshmen a bet­ ter understanding of what goes on here at ASU." On the same issue, freshman Mike Laws commented, "I attended all but the hypnotist, the celebration and the religious oppor­ tunities activities. The activities were helpful in making adjustments, but there were just too many to try and fit into four days." When interviewed, freshmen gave several different opinions on what were their favorite aspects of the orientation. Many of them agreed that the leader interaction and small group sessions were the most helpful for their adjustment.

TUESDAY. AUGUST30. 1988 13 Memories oftheoldB.I. - where has the junk food gone? By BILLY VINSON "1 kind of miss the old BI." That s what everybody says!" she cried. "All the kids seem to miss it." Her tone was now one of sad nostalgia. "It used to be a special place at night. Now it's just like every place else. Too manicured." Too manicured is right, I thought. My mind then traveled back to that fateful day in April when the Bl was laid to rest. Oh yes, I was there, too. It was a cold morning, and I arrived at eight to help clear out all the old tables and pots and drink machines. Even the old juke box that played all the records too slow and those pic­ tures that hung on the wall had to go. The old walls seem to moan in agony as the workmen ripped out the lights and air conditioners and reduced a grand, old faithful ceiling to a pile of crumbled plaster. And as long as I hve, I will never forget the sinking feeling in my heart when my eyes, as round and large as saucers, gazed in horror as a group of barbaric maintenance men dismantled the beloved wheel of death. Oh yes, my friend, I was there. And now I m here at the new improved Food Court, as the excitement of newness has already begun to wear off. A girl came rushing up to the counter Tuesday night, all smiles, like a child in a candy store. "I'd like a corn dog, please," she beamed. We don't have corn dogs here you twit, I was forced to reply, as her face fell like a mudslide. "This is the new, manicured Food Court. How about some nice fried rice?" Another chick bolted up to me with panic etched on her face. "I've been looking all over for your ice cream sandwiches," she panted. "Would you please show me where they are? Oh, kind sir, please, please help me!" "Ha!" 1 hissed. "Ice cream sand­ wiches, indeed. Where do you think you are, anyway. The BI?" At that, the poor child's heart shattered all over the salad bar. You see, my dear readers, this is not Duke University. This is Ap­ palachian State! Boone, North Carolina! We are anything but manicured. We like to feel the grease running down the sides of our mouths when we bite into a big, fat, somewhat cold corn dog. We like the way our fingers sort of stick together after we've eaten an ice cream sand­ wich. Who needs a wok and a salad bar? As for me, give me deep-fried or give me death! Appalachian Staff Writer Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the new Food Court, the $.75 million gem of ASU food services and the l o n g -awaited replacement for the Bl. If you haven't eaten there yet you must because they seem to have it all. They've got chicken and cold sand­ wiches and Chinese food and pizza ahd hamburgers and hot dogs and fruit and sweets and the list goes on forever. It's beautiful, too. They've got really nice carpet and a lovely pastelcolored serving area. The Food Court has also quickly discarded the cave­ like image of its predecessor, the BI. This is due largely to the addition of a picturesque atrium on the library side of the building. The atrium allows for bright sunlight and an almost picnic­ like dining experience. And best of all, you can finally see what you're eating.

And this is my story. Thursday night was a strange night. The first three nights of the week the place had been a madhouse. This night, however, the joint was strange­ ly quiet. Too quiet. I was mopping the luxurious serving area and marvelling because, oddly enough, it was relatively clean. Too clean. It was then that Doris, the small broad that runs the cash register flawlessly every night in dark sunglasses spoke to me. "So, Bill," she said, with a curious lilt in her voice and a swagger in her bearing, "What do you think of this place?" I propped myself confidently on my mop handle and stared her dead in the face.

A U G U W J O J M — Take a break and have some breakfast physical and mental performance, have a faster reaction time, less fatigue, higher productivity, a longer life expectancy and are more suc­ cessful at losing unwanted pounds. These differences are due to the fact that a nutritious breakfast increases your blood sugar level which, in turn, increases your energy level. A nutritious breakfast also pro­ vides the body with many nutrients which are not consumed at other parts of the day. The important com­ ponents of a healthy breakfast are protein, vitamin C, calcium, riboflavin, and carbohydrates. Appalachian Wellness Center PROTEIN: This is what stimulates alertness and prevents mid-morning hunger. You should consume Zi of your daily protein needs (about 15 grams) at breakfast. Some sug­ gestions of how you can meet your protein needs for breakfast are: By SUSAN STAMPER and AMY VADEN Special lu The Appalachian Most of us have always heard our mothers say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We usual­ ly heard this comment as we ran out the door in the morning, late for school, with a pop-tart in hand. Breakfast is generally regarded as unimportant, and is the meal most neglected by the majority of Americans. However, breakfast does make a big difference in your life. Vi cup cottage cheese 3 ounces of fish 4 Tbs. of peanut butter 2 ounces of hard cheese 2 cups of milk or yogurt 2 ounces of chicken 1 cup of kidney beans It has been shown that those who eat a healthy breakfast have improved 6 ounces of high protein pasta could not imagine eating anything. This situation is more than likely due to habit, but if this is your situation, it is okay to postpone breakfast for a couple of hours. Another excuse for not eating breakfast is the lack of time. If you are unable to get up 15 minutes earlier, prepare your breaklast the night before or pack a brown bag lunch so it can be taken with you. Your body is in a much greater need of a healthy breakfast than of 15 -ninutes of extra sleep. Breakfast seems to be one of those things that college students drop from their day, but making it a part of your day can help you have a better academic year. So wake up hungry—BREAKFAST IS FOR CHAMPIONS! 'A of a 14-inch pizza VITAMIN C: Another impor­ tant part of your breakfast is juice or fruit which contains vitamin C. Oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes, strawberries, can­ taloupe, apples or cranberry juice are all good sources. CARBOHYDRATES: Starchy foods or complex car­ bohydrates are needed in your breakfast in order to raise your energy or blood glucose level. These would include such foods as whole grain bread and cereal, rice, or a bran or oatmeal muffin. CALCIUM AND RIBOFLA­ VIN: These nutrients are found in dairy products which are not consumed by most peo­ ple at lunch and dinner.

Open D-.il P C " D "' l y * pl from Hoey Dorn �THE APPALACHIAN, TUESDA Y.AUGUST 30, 1988 So now we're all seniors, so now we have privileges By J SHAVER Appalachian Staff Writer Y'know, being a senior here at \SU ain'1 a" it's cracked up to be. I mean, here I am with a year to go, it the top of the heap and what's it ike? It's terrifying, that's what. I have a ^ear to finish and get all the re­ tirements in my major. Now my schedule died and went to Hell this summer. I had to go through that line in drop-add four times last week. So although I was up here last Sun­ day, I had to wait till Tuesday to do anything with my schedule. Yes, the registrar's office knew I was only registered for six hours, but I had to wait until they had registered the freshmen. No matter that if I don't get what I need this year, I won t graduate and my parents will disown me. I mean, being a senior puts a lot of pressure on you. Freshmen know that they have years to go and can afford to spend most of their time in altered states of consciousness. Not me. If I fail anything this year, I just may as well go ahead and join the Army. The only advantage I have in pick­ ing up classes as a senior is if one seat comes open in a closed class, I'll get it over a junior. That is, only if the junior didn't manage to contact the instructor before I did. And then there's the parking. I'm ashamed to even join in the bitching, 'cause it's so easy and fun, but nothing's done if nothing's said. 1 don't know. Nobody likes it the way it is. I thought the assignment of parking places was supposed to be prioritized for upperclassmen, but I'm hearing a rumor that you don't have to be an underclassman to get your car strand­ ed at the ol' JJ parking lot in the sky. It's a hellishly long and steep walk up that unlit road at night. I couldn't possibly understand why a woman, tired, and afraid someone is going to jump out of the shadows and rape her to death, might resent the inconve­ nience. I'm told there's no priority for peo­ ple living off-campus in assigning spots, either. Really, I'm lucky and live almost on campus, but some peo­ ple do have to drive to come to school here and ought to get good spots. And as much as I hate to support a counter-discriminatory measure, women should be allotted better spots than men. As I said, I can walk long ways in the dark without fear. I don't think anyone's going to rape me. Well, I've gotten off the subject. I wonder why we don't have class of­ ficers at ASU? I mean, being a senior pals a lot of pressure on you. Freshmen know that they have years to go and can afford to spend most of their time in altered states of consciousness. I mean, I don't know what purpose that serves other than to foster class pride and unity, but I think we need those things. "So, you're a senior? Whadda ya want, a medal?" Yeah; I do want a medal. It hasn't been easy getting here. CANCER SOC*TY Lady Killer Pittman discuses the transition from Alternative to APR format Meet The Media Talking with new Station Manager of WASU Keith Pittman By C.W. PRATHER Appalachian Staff Writer Keith Pittman may either have the best job at ASU or the worst. As sta­ tion manager for Appalachian State's radio station (WASU), he gets the best of both worlds; being in a professonal working environment and getting to be around rock and roll on a daily basis. However, he is the one in charge and whenever anything might or does go wrong, it's his neck on the line. More importantly, he had to help make the tough decisions of who should be hired and who shouldn't for this year's staff. Not an easy job, U.S. Department of Health & Human Servces TEST YOUR SKILL. considering he needed people who could not only do a great job in their various positions, but also people who could work together and with their station manager—Keith C.W. Keith C.W. Keith C.W. Keith Right after you became station manager, what was the biggest problem you had to face that you were not ex­ pecting? Resentment from people who didn't want me to get the position. What was the most pleasant surprise? The ability of this new staff to work together. How would you compare this new staff to the staff of last year? This year there isn't one per­ son who can't work with anyone else and last year that was a small, but not important, problem. C.W. Keith C.W. Keith C.W. Keith C.W. Keith C.W. In your opinion, then, are things more or less political this year? This year, politics are not involved at WASU. What is your fascination with radio? The fact that it is so people oriented. You get to connect with the listeners and become their best friends. What kind of music do you like to listen to when you are alone? I have dabbled in everything. There isn't any type of music that I dislike. My preference does tend to lie in classic rock. Are you happy, then, with the new format change to AOR and classic rock? Pretty much. How big of a threat is National Public Radio? Is it Keith possible that WASU could become a NPR affiliate in the near future? Everything is possible. The rumor is that the faculty wants a "Cultural Format Change" here but they haven't given us a time frame, yet. Right now, all I know is that it is the rumor. C.W. What is WASU's biggest asset in your opinion? Keith The fact that we are a fami­ ly and a group of profes­ sionals. We aim to keep it that way! Keith Pittman is a 19 year old senior who has been working in com­ mercial radio and WASU for three years.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, IMS SPORTS Co-producers Pritchett and Gill hope for student support Aubrey Hoover Sparky Woods Show airs September 7 Money talks By TREY BARRINEAU Appalachian Staff Writer By AUBREY HOOVER Assistant Sports Editor The recent decison by the Ap­ palachian State University ad­ ministration to rename William J. Conrad Stadium after an excon/football coach is a perfect ex­ ample that the athletic department is not the only branch of the university that revolves around money. ASU will rename Conrad Stadium, its football home since 1962, on September 3 in a ceremony preceding the home-opener against the Citadel. It is to be called Kidd Brewer Stadium in honor of the former Mountaineer head coach and long-time depositor into ASU bank accounts. Brewer is also a former member of the Board of Trustees at ASU. During his brief stint as head coach from 1935-38, Brewer com­ piled records of 5-2-2, 8-1 and 9-1 for an over-all figure of 30-5-3. His 1937 team went unscored upon for nine games before losing 7-0 to Mississippi Southern. Brewer told the Appalachian in a phone inter­ view Thursday night that he takes little credit for that season saying Flucie Stewart did all the coaching. One thing is for sure, before com­ ing to Appalachian as head coach, Kidd Brewer was the ultimate college athlete. His credentials speak for themselves. • Brewer was an All-American run­ ning back and he captained nine teams in both high school and col­ lege and also earned an un­ precedented 12 athletic letters at Duke University. Aside from his on-the-field ac­ complishments at Duke, Brewer was also an honor student. He finished his undergraduate work in three years and did graduate work during his fourth year. Brewer won the Robert E. Lee award his senior year for leadership, scholarship and character. He left Duke in 1932 to coach at Gulfport Mississippi High School. It would have been less of a sur­ prise if Duke University announced that Wallace Wade Stadium would be renamed after Mr. Brewer. After all, his greatest athletic ac­ complishments came as a Blue Devil, but I would not hold my breath waiting for Duke to do this. No one can question the athletic ability or coaching success that Kidd Brewer has enjoyed. Granted, Brewer had an outstanding record while at ASU. Four seasons, good or bad, can neither make nor break a football program. And, for the majority of his stay in Boone, Brewer was coaching his predecessor's talent. Brewer was more well-known for his business dealings and political endeavors, among other things. He has served as an aide for two U.S. senators, opened his own insurance company, wrote a column syn­ dicated in 40 newspapers, invested in oil wells and developed property. Brewer is the former owner of what is now Howard's Knob and the 100 acres that surround it. Brewer ran for lieutenant gover­ nor in 1956, governor in 1964 and court of appeals in 1968. During this hme, Brewer was convicted of in­ fluence peddling and served over four months of a 18-month sentence. Before beginning his sentence, he hosted a "going in" Party. Brewer was obviously very suc­ cessful in everything he did. But is he worthy of this honor, based on his accomplishments at ASU and not '"eluding the support that came directly from his wallet? Unlike what the ASU administra­ tion would like us to believe, Brewer's accomplishments at ASU don't even compare to his personal successes in the business world. The fact this man has spent time ehind bars apparently means little 0 'his administration. This decision not only tarnishes the reputation of SU but is also an embarrassment o the friends and family of the late '"'am J. Conrad. ^hen Kidd Brewer ran for lieute­ nant governor in 1956, his campaign slogan was "You'll be glad you Chancellor John Thomas, I °pe you can say, "I'm glad I did," ecause you might just be the only one. A new show will be airing soon on Boone Cablevision that may make the other Southern Conference football coaches sit up; and take notice. "The Sparky Woods Show" is scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, September 7 at 7:30 p.m. on channel 32. Since that channel is reserved for use by Appalnet, the show will initial­ ly be seen only on the ASU campus. However, there are plans to make it available to the rest of Boone in the near future. The program is the brainchild of Jon Pritchett and Steve Gill who are both broadcasting majors here at ASU. Pritchett says the idea came to them last semester during a late-night brain-storming session. "We realized that, considering ASU's success on the football field over the past couple of years, there was a real need for this type of show," he said. "Also, we saw it as a great opportunity for broadcasting students to gain some valuable ex­ perience." .. we saw it as a great opportunity for broad­ casting students to gain some valuable experience." Jon Pritchett co-creator of "The Sparky Woods Show" said. Hopefully it will lay the ground­ work for future shows done by students, maybe even a laboratory network for broadcasting students," he added. Pritchett also emphasized the quali­ ty of the show despite the relative in­ experience of the staff. "I think people are going to be sur­ prised by what they see," he said. "People not in TV don't realize how much work goes into producing a TV show." "People not in TV don't realize how much work goes into producing a TV show. For example, this past weekend we spent six hours just editing two three-minute segment for the first show. This is really going to be a quality program." Meanwhile, ASU head football coach Phillip "Sparky" Woods had only praise for the new show. "I'm real excited about it,"he said. These two fellows (Pritchett and Gill) really seem to know what they're do­ ing. Of course, a lot of the success of the show will depent on what ASU does on the field on Saturdays. But other than that, I can see this show only helping our program." FILMING FOR DEBUT: Steve Gill and Jon Prit­ chett film the Mountaineer Football Squad at prac­ tice to use as footage on the premiere of "The Sparky Woods Show" which will air on channel 32 on Wednesday, September 7. The 30-minute show will include a 10-minute highlights and comments segment with in-studio host Pritchett and Coach Woods. Following the commentary, a features seg­ ment with field host Gill will include player stories and player interviews. Player profiles will comprise the last 10-minute segment of the show. 1988 APPALACHIAN STATE The shows will run for approx­ imately 30 minutes and its format will closely resemble any other coaches show. "We'll have highlights from the previous week's games, and Steve (Gill) will do two features every week, such as a player profile or a feature on Homecoming," Pritchette said.

"ETSU, Marshall, and Furman all have their own shows, but they are all done professionally.

W H I V of Charlotte. Sechrest places strong second in national competition By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sports Editor Nineteen-year-old Scott Sechrest, an Appalachian State University stu­ dent and a Boone resident, placed se­ cond in the heavyweight division of the teenage competition at the 1988 MPC Collegiate, Master, and Teenage Nationals. The competition was held on June 17 and 18 in Houston, Texas. Sechrest competed with 23 others in the contest in three categories. The first area of competition consisted of a quarter-run review of the con­ tenders as a group from the sides, front and back. In the second stage of competition, each individual body builder had 60 seconds to free pose for the judges in order to demonstrate their strong points. In the last level of the contest, the group of competitors displayed eight mandatory poses for the judges. From these three categories, the body builders were judged on aesthetic quality, proportion, shape symmetry and muscularity. Strength was not a factor in the contest. Because the competition concentrated on appearance and not on strength, Sechrest did more than just lift weights to train. "I realized that I was not going to get any bigger before the competition, so I worked to improve my muscular definition. I increased my repetitions from 10 to 15 and increased the speed of my workout in order to make it more aerobic," he said. Sechrest worked out up to four times daily with a four days on, one day off workout schedule in prepara­ tion for the competition. In addition to weightlifting, he included a 30 minute walk and a 30 minute ride on the Lifecycle each day. A strict diet accompanied his rigorous workout. The diet consisted of high protein and complex car­ bohydrates and no fat. His meais in­ cluded boiled egg whites, fruits and vegetables, broiled fish, and boiled chicken. As a result of his diet, Sechrest dropped 38 pounds in 12 weeks. Perseverance and hard work were not his only advantages in competi­ tion, though. Good natural shape and symmetry were also secrets to his body building success. Sechrest feels that his weakness in competition is his need for more size. "I'm just not big enough yet," he said. "I don't have enough muscle for my height." Sechrest has been body building for over three and one half years, and he has been competing for two years. Originally from Charlotte, he won the 1988 Teenage Mr. Piedmont title on May 21 at the Piedmont Body Building Championship. The victory prompted him to pursue the teenage nationals title. "I had such positive feedback from • i *'Jm iS ASU bodybuilder Scot! Sechrest. so many people after the competition, I finally got motivated to go to the na­ tionals," he said. The Mountaineer Health Club in Boone and owner Rocky Scarfone sponsored Sechrest at the nationals competition. He trains at the Moun­ taineer Health Club as well as the ASU Quinn Center where he is employed as a weight room super­ visor. In addition to excelling in the weight room, Sechrest succeeds in making good grades. He is a sophomore at Appalachian State University where he is a business ma­ jor. Futhermore, he is a dean's list student. While Sechrest does not have any definite plans for competition in the immediate future, he has his sights set on the collegiate nationals which will be held in one year. "I had such positive feedback from so many people after the competi­ tion, I finally got motivated to go to the na­ tionals." Scott Sechrest ASU bodybuilder "I'm sure I will compete again before the nationals next year, but the competition in Houston really motivated me," he said. "It was a great experience and because I did well, I want to continue to do well in the future." Because Sechrest will be turning 20 this year, his next move will be to men's open competition like the Mr. Mountaineer contest held annually in Boone. The step up in competition does not discourage him, though. "I'm excited about competing with the men. I feel like I'm moving into the big league now," he said. "The competition will be tougher and I need to gain about 25 more pounds in order to be more competitive. A lot of people probably think my winning will stop now, but these same people would have never believed that a Boone resident could finish second in a contest with body builders from California, Florida, and the rest of the United States, either." �//// 2(1 I/>/>!/ I( I I I l \ . / ' / S/2 I ) . I C C ' ' s/? "-/</ss Stanford University abolishes atheltic drug testing...Paterno hits the Sports information from around the country NCAA overruled (CPS)—In a decision that could affect student athletes nationwide and disrupt campus drug testing, a California judge has ruled the Na­ tional Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) cannot force Stanford University to test its athletes for drug abuse. At least one college has decided to stop drug testing its athletes in the wake of the decision, which called the NCAA drug program unconstitu­ tional. Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Conrad Rushing issued a per­ manent injunction August 10 allow­ ing all Stanford athletes to compete without participating in the NCAA's drug-testing program. Rushing said the NCAA's program "invades student athletes' privacy" and "interferes with the athletes' right to treat themselves with ap­ propriate over-the-counter medica­ tions as other students do." A day after the ruling, Don Combs, athletic director at Eastern Kentucky University, suspended EKU's drug testing program because "the legal climate does not appear to be favorable at this time." Stanford attorney Debra Zumwalt predicted that, because the case is a legal precedent for the issue of drug testing among the NCAA's 250,000 student athletes, more campuses also may drop their programs. But NCAA President Wilford Bailey swore the NCAA will keep pressing colleges to perform drug tests even if they involve "an element of in­ vasion of privacy." Those who don't test their athletes may find themselves shut out of NCAA events, he warned. "The right to engage in NCAA competition is not a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution," Bailey said. "It's a privilege. And if the in­ dividual wishes to compete in NCAA championship events, the individual must be prepared to comply with the rules established by the member­ ship." Federal courts in Louisiana and Washington, Bailey added, have ruled in favor of the NCAA's drug pro­ gram. In Louisiana, a federal court denied the injunction sought by a Louisiana State football player who tested positive for steroids and was barred from competing in the 1987 Sugar Bowl. And in Seattle, a federal judge ruled the NCAA's program "would likely succeed on its merits" in a University of Washington runner's lawsuit. Penn State protests (CPS)—Penn State football coach Joe Paterno has come under fire for delivering a brief address at the Republican National Convention seconding Vice President George Bush's presidential nomination. "It's wrong for an academic in­ stitution to actually involve itself in partisan politics," Penn State student government President Seth Williams said. Pennsylvania Governor, Robert Casey, a Democrat, said it was "probably not a good thing tor the university" for Paterno to participate in the convention. In lobbying for funds in the legislature and among alumni, of course, the school must appeal to all "I'll be damned if I'll sit still while people who can't carry George Bush's shoes ridicule him," Paterno countered. Though he had second thoughts about giving the speech, "then I said that's ridiculous because 1 really want to do it. 1 have that kind of respect for Bush." Paterno, of course, is not the only educator to stump for a politician. Bush's education advisors include teachers and administrators like Presi­ dent James Cheek of Howard Univer­ sity and President Benjamin Payton of Tuskeegee University. "My feeling is that those of us in education who are concerned about schools and the future of education have to become involved," said Dr. Ed Argenbright, a Bush advisor and Montana State Superintendent of Public Instruction. "I have no pro­ blem being involved in partisan politics.

Due to the large interest in volleyball on the ASU campus, a club team was organized last spring. Much of the organizational credit can be attributed to Sammy Rape, club vice president and club sports dinsctoiGas^ear^^^^^^^^^^^^ "The traveling team wilt consist of 11 or 12 players and will be chosen by the sponsor and the club officers." "There was such a demand to get a club volleyball team," he said. "Over 22 players attended the first meeting, and we are expecting over 30 at our next meeting next Wednesday night." There are no tryouts for the team and people who enjoy volleyball are encouraged to come out and par­ ticipate. Although the schedule has not yet been confirmed, the team is anticipating playing Virginia Tech, James Madison, Duke, N.C. State, Western Carolina, and East Ten­ nessee State University. The club is looking for a spon­ sor/coach and will be electing new of­ ficers at the next club sports meeting. "The traveling team will consist of 11 or 12 players and will be chosen by the sponsor and the club officers," Rape said. Next year, universities in the United States will be allowed to have an unlimited number of teams due to a ruling by just recently passed by the U.C.V.B.A. Practices for club volleyball will be held in the Quinn Center. Anyone in­ terested should attend the organiza­ tional meeting Wednesday, September 7 at 8 pm in Room 211 Broome-Kirk Gymnasium. For more information, contact Sammy Rape at Quinn Center at 262-6301.

In three short months, the administration made several deci­ sions that would permanently affect our university. One of the most noticeable changes was the transfer of the Dougher­ ty House to State Farm Field. The administration seemed to have removed the monument at this time to avoid student uproar. In the same manner, when students left school for spring break last year, the new noise ordinance was imposed by the Boone Town Council. Why do campus and community leaders continually make these deci­ sions behind students' backs? If the student body had simply been told that a new Math/Science building would replace the Dougherty House, perhaps reactionary groups such as the Students to Save the House Committee would never have existed. Another new policy which has profoundly affected students this fall is the new parking situation. Freshmen must now park their cars at State Farm Field. Transportation is provided through a new shuttle systema nd is limited to certain hours during the weekend. Why should freshmen be put through such inconvenience? With the steady increase in enrollment each year, it is only a matter of time until freshmen cars are completely banned from campus. Why has the administration bothered to go through the trouble and expense to set up a program which will be taken away in a few years? Several positive changes have occurred on campus including the ad­ dition of several new piece of modern art and heavy construction work on the new business building. The blockage in the D lot has been an in­ convenience; however, the result will be highly beneficial for the recruitment of new business students at Appalachian. The added facili­ ty will provide ASU the opportunity to compete with other top ranking business colleges and eventually make ASU one of, if not the, best business school in the nation. The creation of the new Food Court was a welcom relief from the Bavarian Inn and the so-called "Wheel of Death." It is amazing that such a transformation could take place in such a short period of time. Not only is the atmosphere more conducive to a healthy appetite, but the food has become varied and delicious. The area was previously too dark, but the new sunroom area has made the facility the most en­ joyable place to eat on campus. The administration should be commended on quickly implementing the new Appalachian Express Card. The "one card does it all" system is a great convenience for students who previously had difficulty spen­ ding extra meal card money. WASU's new Album Oriented Rock (AOR) format has also been a positive change from the Alternative format from 1987-88. The listen­ ing audience has increased, and the station has quickly elevated to the level of other top college stations. The disc jockeys are entertaining to listen to, and simultaneously conduct themselves in a professional manner. The almost overnight renovation of H'Appy's made a great at­ mosphere improvement over the former Winn Dixie site. The mauve floors and walls, addition of elevated seating, stained glass lighting fix­ tures, and paintings of various rock legends have added a classy at­ mosphere to the club which will undoubtedly increase patronage. The administration should be congratulated on recognizing this needed renovation. What the future holds for ASU, only time can tell. Judging from these numerous advancements, it is only logical to assume that within ten years the entire face of the ASU campus will be completely changed Many people come to college with closed minds and limited viewpoints. This isn't their fault. This is just what happens when we have few experiences, are not willing to try to understand those who deviate from the norm, and live within a socio-economic boundary that is rarely bridged. Most persons come to college seeking a degree. However, what they are really seeking, or should be position to obtain it. What I am getting at is this: ASU believes that one seeking, is knowledge. Perhaps the best way to gain moves more accurately towards the goal of truth if knowledge is to expand one's viewpoint. There are many theories as to what is the best one will abandon all or most belief. I agree! One must look at things objectively. Therefore, if method to gain knowledge.

(Actually, I used to believe social fraternities It is not an institution that endorses one form of and sororities were composed entirely of shallow religion.

Youw: an example of what this university is about Diplomatic immunity raises serious ethical concerns for Americans The "divine right" of supramoralitj k I UT T\/f A NJ By AL HUMAN Appalachian Columnist The ancient Christian kings of Europe held to a doctrine known as the Divine Right of Kings. This doc­ trine held that the king derived his power from God Himself. As can be anticipated, this doctrine had dangerous implications. Since the Christian God was held to be all-powerful, all-benevolent, and incapable of error, this doctrine which the king ruled by God's grace meant the king's power was beyond all questioning. Effectively, the Divine Right of Kings made the king God's proxy on earth, a being as all powerful, all-benevolent and inerrant as God Himself was held to be. Wherever the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings was held to, oppres­ sion and corruption were always the result. Fortunately, in free, secular Western societies of today, the Divine Right of Kings has no force. Unfor­ tunately, however, a new, equally sinister doctrine has arisen in its place. This is the doctrine that any action, no matter how brutal and violent, is excused if it is done in the name of some collectivist cause. This doctrine holds that a person may lie, cheat, defraud, break agreements, steal, smuggle, threaten, maim,, torture, kidnap, enslave. molest, even rape and murder with impunity... if the person does it for the Holy Grails of race, ethnicity, religion, nation or ideology. No longer the mere prattlings of underground coffee house terrorists this doctrine is codified in interna­ tional agreements and increasingly in American law. Just as the Divine Right of Kings was a springboard for kings to violate their subject's in­ dividual rights, this new doctrine in­ creasingly poses a threat to our in­ dividual rights today. The most ob­ vious example of this doctrine being put into practice is diplomatic im­ munity. According to the Vienna Conven­ tion on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, full-fledged diplomatic personnel and their direct families may not be brought up on civil or criminal charges once their status as diplomatic personnel is confirmed. Furthermore, according to Article 5, Section 15 of the United Nations Charter and section 287 of the Inter­ national Organizations Immunities Act, full ambassadors to the U.N. are granted the same kind of immunity. Officially, lower-ranking diplomatic personnel such as staff, cooks, and chauffeurs are not guaranteed this same immunity De facto, however, the U.S. government grants immunity to all members of all national delegations due to its undue generosity to the UN. As is documented in Diplomatic Crime, by Chuck Ashman and Pamela Trescott, the crimes which diplomats have com­ mitted with their immunity are numerous and posses no limits to their viciousness. On April 17, 1984, British Con­ stable Yvonne Fletcher was gunned down and killed in cold blood and 11 Libyan exiles were wounded when members of the Libyan Embassy in London fired shots at them in the course of an anti-Qadaffi demonstra­ tion. Because the embassy members had diplomatic immunity, the punish­ ment they received was a trip back to Libya where their gangster-ruler Moammar Qadaffi praised them for their heinous acts. Their murder weapons weren't even confiscated since the weapons were in diplomatic pouches and thus were exempt from warranted search and seizure thanks to Article 27(3) of the Vienna Con­ vention. If one thinks this could never hap­ pen in America, consider this: Nearly four years earlier in May of 1980, four Libyan diplomats in Washington were given the same pampered treatment after having threatened the lives of Li­ byan anti-Qadaffi dissenters, all because of diplomatic immunit In February of 1981 in New City, ast least 10 women had savagely attacked by the samei the course of about three m The victim's descriptions of h coincided and his turf was nar down by the police Sex Crimes The man is found, his name: N Ayree.

According to US News and World Report, as early as 1952, half of the 1,350 executive ad­ ministrators at the U.N. were Com­ munists or pro-Communists. Further­ more, all of their subversive activities against freedom are not only done under cover of diplomatic immunity, but with taxpayer's money, since the U.S. government foots 25 percent of the U.N.'s expenditures. All of this doesn't have to be put up with for one minute by this country. The U.S. Constitution does not allow international agreements to supercede individual rights protected by na­ tional and local laws. Nor could the Constitution consistently allow inter­ national agreements to supercede the very sovereignty of America pro­ claimed in Article VI. Therefore, in the name of both liberty and law and order, the United States should withdraw from the Vienna Conven­ tion and all other international agreements allowing diplomats to brutalize the innocent for reasons of state. • This rock pioneer was born in Lubbock, Texas. only terrible thing going on this sum­ mer. Mike Dukakis, George Bush and Jesse Jackson had a ball turning the whole political process of this country into a three ring circus. There is no way for me to express my disgust except to cite this example: Shirley Jones sang at the republican conven­ tion this summer. I remember when she was the mother of the Partridge family. And now the President of the United States takes her seriously. I have to wonder if either of the major political parties actually wants to win this election. Dukakis would have had a far better, chance of win>ning (and would have represented the party far better) if he had chosen Jesse Jackson as his running mate (never mind that neither one of them would be qualified to do anything. That makes no difference at all. Remember 1976?) George Bush would have done well to choose Liz Dole as his running mate (And then there would be at least a glimmer of hope for this country). I have no idea how I should vote this year. I would probably vote communist, except they don't even have a candidate this time around. They endorsed Jesse Jackson. Maybe I'll vote for Jim and Tammy Faye. At least we know that they're dishonest crooks. And wc don't hate them. We just love them less. Joe Biden, Gary Hart, Fawn Hall and Donna Rice are a successful mixed-doubles bowling team. Apparently Joe recognized Fawn's enormous capacity to love and capitalized on it. Gary decided that it might be fun to continue the monkey business, so he did. They all wear "No Excuses" bowling shirts. We love them a lot less.

You've probably already had your first experience with the people in the registrar's office. No, you were not mistaken at all. Those people hate their jobs, they hate students, and they love making things more difficult than they have to be. You probably have a parking sticker for the new ASU parking lot annex in Arkansas. Don't complain yet. With the incredibly poor planning at the university, things will definitely get worse. The food in the Gold Room is not actually any better than the food in the cafeteria (this is just an illusion created by dim lighting and mirrors). Remember, if you lie to your room­ mate's parents for him/her then he/she will be obligated to lie to your parents for you.

ByDARRYL N. PARKER Appalachian Columnist Have you been sitting around the last week complaining about everything that crossed your path? There's something you can do about it. Starting out as a freshman is tough. I'm finding that out very quickly. For some, the meaning of tough is deciding what to wear to which party, but for the minority the transition from home to college and its demands is a challenge. The one thing common to all of us, however, is complaining. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is griping and groaning over something no matter how trivial. Even so, there are a few campus complaints that all of us are voicing. One's wallet is a little bit lighter if he registered his car on campus this semester. Parking fees are at an ASU high of $20.00 for freshmen and a whopping $50.00 for upperclassmen. Complaints are pouring into the paper, the staff and anyone willing to listen. Where is the extra money go­ ing? Where is the new and improved parking? If you are a freshman, you need a car to get back from the park­ ing lot at State Farm Field. The sud­ den increase needs some explanation from the administration. Another gripe on campus is the ex­ travagant art work. The question, "What the hell is that?", is whisper­ ing through the mountain air around ASU as students ponder the modern works of art. Many complain saying the art is ugly but fail to realize that while they are determining just how ugly a piece is or exactly what the sculpture is supposed to be, they are promoting the entire purpose of the work. The role of modern art is to make one think and come up with his own interpretation of what something is or isn't. It gets the brain to function and explore the options, which is why we're here in college, right? 1 know of some people out there who aren't thinking or com­ municating too well. Knock, knock- is the Administration there? Come out of the woodwork where you are hiding and take a look at some of the organizational problems with which the campus is plagued. Lines for this and lines for that. Three or four hours in a line is absurd. If somebody up there would do a little planning, life would be easier for the college student trying to organize a career. ASU is a small campus, but I've seen larger campuses run with far better efficien­ cy than ours. What are they doing right? Somebody that had to stand in the drizzle for three hours while waiting on Drop/Add would like to know. I can't just sit here and chew out the administration. This is our cam­ pus and it takes student involvement to make it work. Do you have a gripe? Write to The Appalachian. Your let­ ter may echo the thoughts of many students here at ASU. You can also get involved in the Resident Student Association , SGA and A.P.P.S can have a voice in student government and ASU affairs. The student who gets involved is the well-rounded stu­ dent who wants to have a say in his education. Solve some of these cam­ pus complaints or at least research a solution. Applachian State University is for the students and by the students- we get out of it what we put into it. Now you know my complaint and my solu­ tion. Campus unsafe 24 hours a day By LINDA NICHOLS Appalachian Columnist Not too long ago, a student was held at gunpoint on the Appalachian State University campus. Unfortunately, things like this hap­ pen. Yet, what is more unfortunate is the fact that newspapers place stories like these on the back pages next to advertisements if they print them at all. Even though the article was plac­ ed on the front page, the newspaper glamorized the attack by printing a story entitled "Student Fights Back." The common eye would skip over this article without a second thought. Not a single newspaper gave an accurate account of the assault nor did a single newspaper even approach the girl for an interview. The truth of the matter is: a violent crime occured and justice was never rendered. No university wants to be known as a "campus of crime," but the university should make examples of cases and teach students how to prevent crime. It's time the university faced facts about campus crime and did something about it instead of cover­ ing up the unpleasantries of life. Im­ agine yourself "minding your own business when suddenly you are con­ fronted by a life or death situation. What would you do? Here's one true story, it's outcome, and the reaction a small college town gave it. Around II p.m. on a Saturday night two girls returned from a movie. The driver let the passenger off at the entrance of their residence hall because of a previous ankle injury the passenger suffered earlier that day. She drove around the parking lot looking for a spot to park. She found one. It was less than 10 feet from an operational streetlight. She was less than 200 yards from her residence hall. Mindjng her own business, feel­ ing safe because of the several people within sight, she was gathering her things. She was placed in a life threatening situation when she was approached by an armed man. He pointed a gun at her. "Get in the car," he told her. Caught completely off guard, the stu­ dent obeyed. He demanded her money, but she had none. She could smell alcohol on the boy's breath. Thinking quickly and tired of being a victim, she grabbed the gun. He drag­ ged her, kicking and screaming, out of the car by the gun. They struggled on the ground. In the heat of the event she received a one inch cut to the muscle in her right hand. For an instant, she had the gun in her hands. "Should I shoot him?" she thought. But before she could do anything, the boy grabbed the gun and ran away. While running, he passed two boys. He stopped and told them a girl had just been attacked in the parking lot. Fooling the boys, he escaped. A pizza delivery man heard the screams and drove to the area. The victim screamed for him to chase the offender but he insisted she get in the car and be driven to her residence hall. Inside she was questioned by the resident director and ASU Security was called. No one bothered to call the Boone police or an ambulance. Searches, headed by ASU Security taking a felony into their own hands, Fraternities singled out: signs disappear Every semester for the past quite a few, ASU social fraternities have placed their Rush posters on bulletin boards around the campus, and just as regularly, these signs disappear mysteriously from certain buildings within hours, or a day or two. Some one, or some group, is responsible for this selective censorship and it is happening only in some depart­ ments. Since every other group, cause, rock band, film, academic program, . political speaker or party, and advertiser seems able to put up placards anywhere without let or hindrance, it is odd that the frater­ nities are singled out for this systematic strangulation of their right to free expression. I frankly suspect that a few of my own colleagues in academe are responsible for this foolishness. Of course, some bulletin boards are and should be reserved for special use and those boards ought to be J IT'SNOTRICK $ 4 • • % * • i % i 4 i % • • JOINING FILLING 4 • • APPS OUT AS THIS EASY AS APPLICATION A.P.P.S.

More and more questions were asked as the assailant ran faster and farther to safety. Reports and paperwork were filled out. The boy was never 4 caught. A true news story was never printed. $ What kind of message are we sen­ ding to potential commiters of crime? 4 "It's okay, if you run fast enough you $ won't be caught. ASU security won't do anything anyway—the papers won't publicize a description—the search won't go on for more than an hour—you won't be caught—just be careful." This may sound harsh, but if we sit back and do nothing, this is the message we are sending. If an example had been made of this incident, or any incident, people would stand up and take notice of the problem. There are other ways to deal with crime. We shouldn't bury our heads in the sand and pretend the world is a safe place to live. By ignoring the problem, it will on­ ly continue to grow larger. Programs need to be established and heads need i to be turned. Steps need to be taken % to inform people about crime and how it can be prevented. The AppalCART needs to run later at night to provide safe, free transportation to students. The Mountaineer Escort service should be open longer and on weekends and the volunteers should be placed on the payroll. Experts on CLUB SHOWS (Chairperson, David Ethridge) Is responsible for programming events in the Student Union Pub. The programs are as diverse as Local Band Night, nationally known touring coffeehouse entertainers and DJ dances. This year Club Candlelight was created to feature special monthly performers who transform the Pub into an elegant nightclub.

IQSS t Don t ruin your GPA with hard classes Tips for Freshman By CURT SOUTHALL Appalachian Columnist The term Grade Point Average has instilled fear of nightmarish propor­ tions in the hearts of many students. Many do not understand or care about it until it is too late. Never­ theless, it remains the single most im­ portant indicator of success of college to many of the nation's employers. College can mean many things to different people. To many it means books, classes, lectures, and gaining knowledge. To others it means sports and a full social calendar. Many students have to work and some do not. Many students are married and have children while others are single. The point is that all of us have a finite amount of time to devote to studies. If we lived in a world where students had the time, motivation, and the in­ tellectual competence to make great grades, then life would be simple. Since this is not the case, we must be selective in how much time and effort we devote to a given course. The GPA is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earn­ ed by the total number of semester hours attempted. This has a cumulative effect so that the more hours one accumulates, the less effect any single grading period has on one's cumulative GPA. This means that transfer students, freshmen, sophomores, and even juniors can af­ fect their GPA much more than col­ lege seniors. By the time you are a senior, you have too many hours log­ ged to change your GPA too much one way or the other. As an example, I will use my own experience. 1 am a senior and have 80 some hours logged at ASU. Last semester 1 made four A's and a B +. Sounds good, huh? It only changed my GPA by one hundreth of a per­ cent! In short, the grade game is over for me. I cannot change my GPA much one way or the other unless I start flunking courses like crazy. So what does this belated revelation mean? It means you should really pay attention to your grades during your freshmen and sophomore years in col­ lege. This is the time to take the courses you think you will do best in academically. This also means that if you have to budget your time between an easy course and a hard course, it may be better to make the easy A then settle for a lower grade in the harder course. Remember, providing that semester hours are the same, in determining you GPA, an A is an A regardless of how easy the course was. Some professors will pompously tell you grades don't count and the important thing is that you study hard and learn something for your effort. If you run into such a professor, ask him or her what their GPA was as an undergraduate. Chances are they can tell you right off the bat. Once you get into graduate school, grades do not matter that much. The main thing is whether or not you pass the course. But grades matter a lot at the undergraduate level in deciding which graduate school you are able to get into and whether or not you get a scholarship or assistantship. Finally, there is the job market to consider, which is in the near future for most of us. Imagine this scenario: A personnel manager is looking at two resumes of people who have ap­ plied for the same job. After inter­ viewing the applicants the personnel manager is still undecided because the two people have almost identical qualifications. The only difference is one person had a GPA of 2.5 and the other had a GPA of 3.6. What would you do in this situation? Think about it.

People's cotton candy interpreta­ tions of life need to be discolored. There is no need to send a rush of panic through the campus, but certain steps need to be made in order to pre­ vent other death defying situations. Where is this girl's police file now? Where is the attacker? And who is go­ ing to pay her hospital bill? How is I she going to feel when one of her friends gets attacked and there is nothing she can do? Furthermore, how are you going to feel if it happens to you. REDFORD AND American Heart Association 0 It's high time4 J • to lower cholesterol.

Off-campus storage area for vehicles owned by freshmen is also proposed. The charge for this type of storage is an additional $20. Morris said these payments will cater to expansion of the present Appalcart system and fund the improvement of parking facilities.

We are even looking for a new name," Dubberly added. One of the ideas for the new facility will be a food shop concept like you see in shopping malls which will have three to four shops serving different types of foods for students. une shop will he a standard ham­ burger operation, serving hotdogs, french fries and chicken fillets. Other ideas include a deli, where students can buy meats and cheese sold by the pound and a food bar with items like salads and vegetables. Another shop may be an international food operation having Chinese or Italian food or the food selection might change from week to week. Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Ned Trivette said that a decision concerning the proposals is about to be reached. ^ "By mid-May we will have to make a decision," Trivette said. On April 19, Trivette gave an update to a group of students concern­ ing the changes which have been made in the proposals. Trivette said that one of the changes might be to reduce the transportation fees to $10 instead of $20. "We hope beginning in April to ticket unregistered vehicles on campus at night.

"What we would like to do is go out toward the outside of the building toward the library and put in a glass atrium with some additional seating space in that area," Dubberly said. Dubberly said the plans will include changing the walls and adding new tables and chairs as well as adding a new ceiling and replacing lighting, airconditioning and the heating system. "We are hoping to do something really nice for the students," Dubber­ ly said. "One concept would be to put a window out into the hallway so that people coming through the hallway could just stop in." The types of food to be served at the window have not been decided. However, Dubberly said it will prob­ ably serve quick items such as hot chocolate, candy, cookies or gourmet ice cream. The renovations to the B.I. are . expected to cost around $450,000. Planning is also underway for a new facility similar to the B.I. at Stadium Heights which will be more convenient for students living at Stadium Heights and the Yosef Hollow cluster. One area suggested for the facility would be in an area overlooking the duck pond. However, completion of the facility is not expected for another three years. Other improvements are also planned in food services. "We are hoping to work in some sort of delivery service to the dorms also," Dubberly said. Another change, said Trivette, would require freshmen to store their cars off-campus. "We think we have found enough off-campus parking for freshmen," he said. Trivette added that freshmen will be able to store cars at a minimal cost and the Appal-Cart will service the storage areas. Trivette said that one of the changes might be to reduce the transportation fees to $10 instead of $20. Next year, security wants to enforce a stricter towing policy. After six tickets students will not be allowed to bring their cars back on campus. The Board of Trustees is hoping to raise the registration fee to $50. "I don't see anyway to reduce the registration fee of $50 and proceed with the plan for the construction of parking decks," Trivette said. This increase would cost students an extra $20 if the proposal goes through. BI transformed to Food Court The Bavarian Inn was closed last Thursday and is now in the process of being torn down and rebuilt for n.xt year. "We're in the putting back phase now," Director of Food Services Ron Dubberly said. The B.I. will now be called the Food Court and is set to be completed by August 7. "At that time we will go in, set up tables and chairs, clean, stock it and do test runs and practice routines with the food service staff," Dubberly said.

The ordinance, passed on March 24, says if any complaint is called in concerning noise, the Boone Police Department can come to the site and the tenant can be issued a citation with no warning. "I think if they (Boone town coun­ cil) were going to change the law, there should have been some type of advance notice," Greg Jones said. Jones was issued a citation while sitting in front of his residence with several friends on March 25. "I had no idea I was breaking any law at 2:30 in the afternoon," Jones said. "All we were doing was lying out in the sun and the police came by and gave me a citation." Jones stated he did not see anything in the newspapers about the new ordinance until four days later. "We brought up the noise ordinance for discussion in the two previous meetings prior to the meeting on March 24," Town Coun­ cil member Velma Burnley said. "The meeting on March 24 was a regularly scheduled meeting and just happened to coincide with Easter Break." Burnley said the new ordinance is a revision of the old noise ordinance. "We changed three things by revis­ ing the existing ordinance. The new ordinance was rewritten in layman's terms so the average citizen could understand it. We did away with the requirement that a decibel meter had to be used to judge the loudness of the disturbance, and we added a clause stating that both the landlord and the tenant were responsible for any noise * he issue of citatinn but not a great deal " 7" Up s°mc Boone Chief of Polic;^ Teste, Tester said the Department receives a °"C .P(% 1.000 calls a year coni Wmately min8 '°ud noise disturbances.

Dreams can rovide direction, a roadmap for [e Just like goals, they give us something to work toward and something to hold on to when times are hard. . There are people who sit around, blaming others for failures and wishing good fortune would magically come their way. They grumble and mumble and never do anything to alter the course their life takes. Then there are the select few fortunate enough to have events fall into place, never making serious efforts to have things go their way. But most people work and plan and sweat to make dreams come true. They identify what's not right in their life, figure out how make it right, (or at least not so wrong), then they do something. What makes the planning and worrying and waiting worthwhile is seeing the dream come true. It's almost scary to realize that whatever has been worked toward for what seems like a lifetime can actually come to be. That's what life is all about—making dreams come true. For many graduating seniors, May 15 means nothing more than the end of tests, no more classes, and no more projects and assignments. It will put an end to harrassing (but loving) families asking "When are you going to graduate?" That's a reasonable question, especially if you've been in college since 1981. To others, like myself, who have worked and sacrificed and prayed for graduation, it means something else entirely. Gradua­ tion means the realization of a dream. This might sound philosophical and lofty to people who go to college because someone else "ants them to. But for those of "s who have independently chosen to go to college, who have Siven up comfortable incomes, sold new cars and maybe fur­ niture or other valued possessions just to pay four years' tuition and rent, hearing our name called °n commencement day will be the sweetest words ever spoken.

It has the potential to change you life. If you just awakened from a coma you might not know that Jimmy Buffett and the Cheap Vacation Band played at ASU last Wednesday. I'm told that they could hear him loud and clear over in the library. Since I have just barely recovered my hearing now, I tend to believe it. Buffett's appeal is attributed to the mixture of sentimentality and goodnatured hedonism in his music. Jimmy Buffett sings about fun things. He makes his listeners feel good. And his serious songs have a mov­ ing romanticism about them that anyone with a heart can readily respond to. The combination of the two is nothing less than irresistable. With things like that going for him, no wonder the man has a faithful cult following. As far as the concert goes, I sup­ pose I ought to dispense with the com­ plaints first. For one thing, the con­ cert was awfully short; it lasted for less than an hour and a half. "From the front row, I guess it was a good concert. Just wish he'd played longer," said an individual who asked to be identified as the guy with the parrot. Director of H'Appy's, Randy Kelly said the shortness of the concert was due to Buffett having a sore throat and the band having to catch a flight out of Hickory. It might be mentioned that Buffett was on stage the whole time, perhaps leading to his becoming fatigued so early on. The sound wasn't very good either. I don t think that was too important, since 1 would have just gone out and bought a Buffett album that I could get years of high-fidelity enjoyment out of if I was just wanting to hear the songs clearly. I was there for the excitement of a live show. And that, I think, I got. What I do think is important is the struggle I was forced to engage in to get to my seat. I stood in the cold for something like twenty minutes to get in. Unfortunately, I was wearing shorts and a tropical shirt at the time. I should have known better, but I had assumed that I'd only be outside for about three minutes. Once I got inside, it took me about 15 more minutes of shoving to get to my seat. Once I settled in, I enjoyed myself immensely. If you were there, you already know what he sang and if you weren't I doubt you care. We won't be going into a formal review here. I don't think that would be appropriate for a Buffett concert anyway. It seemed to me like the show started out a tad slow, but that may be because I was busy getting elbowed in the ribs at the time. I thought "Some White People Can Dance," was quite catchy, but where I thought he really rocked was when he started doing some of the older numbers. "The Volcano Song," "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Fins" all proved to be big crowd pleasers. Probably my favorite part of the concert was when Buffett said he was going to do one of his old standards Appalachian f Jimmy Buffett and the Cheap Vacation Band peformed to a sell-out crowd. for his sensitivity, and it was pretty show.

By APRIL GRIFFIN AppatacblM El Calm Editor One cannot help but notice the unique and imaginative art exhibited around campus. It is part of the Ap­ palachian Summer program to recognize American sculptors and promote appreciation of visual arts. Ten sites have been selected to show these free-standing modern art works. A competition was sponsored earlier this year in affiliation with The Catherine J. Smith Gallery to deter­ mine the 10 most eligible pieces out of 98 entries. Ads were bought in Sculpture magazine and mailing lists obtained to insure a good sampling of American sculptors. Appalachian Photo by Nancy Sholti "Twister" was a controversial addition to campus.

Twister, by Bruce White, won the $5000 Doris and Martin Rosen Award. Twister is located in front of Edwin Duncan Hall. "This is extremely exciting. I hope the contest can continue in years to come so that other artists can get the same encouragement and exposure that I have gotten this summer," White said. Finalists got their inspiration from different sources. Landscape with Joints, a work by William Donnan, was inspired by the landscapes and rock formations of New Mexico. It was placed outside of Newland Hall. Greely Myatt,' scuTptor of Bird House Field, greatly admires the con­ ceptual style of Walter Dimera. Dimera's Lightning Field uses the same lightning bolt concept. Bird House Field also has practical uses. While on display at the South Eastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, birds actually lived in the sculpture's bird houses. Ms. Wyrick emphasized that these sculptural works are on loan to the university from the individual artists. Money for the concrete foundations and maintenance was donated by the Rosens and the Appalachian Summer program. The pieces will be on cam­ pus for a twelve month period for public enjoyment. Students are help­ ing the Art Department monitor and maintain the sculptures. Walking tour brochures of the exhibit will be available in the Information Center in September.

As he pans for gold, you know he is wondering how to attend all the Homecoming ac­ tivities. Students could "go for the gold" by attending events such as the Jane Powell concert at H'Appy's and the crowd pleasing "Chairmen of the Board " a popular beaclTband. They could also show their Mountaineer pride by the annual hall decorating contest that Doughton residence "The Outfield" were scheduled to perHall won form but due to illness could not attend. That was o.k. though, there were plenty of other activities to engage in. At the big game the APPS stomped the Mocs 17-3. At halftime, Homecoming Queen was an­ nounced.

Music for the ballet, written by Michael Colgrass, won a Pulitzer Prize. His piece, "As Quiet As. which is also the ballet's title is based on a class of fourth graders' inter­ pretation of the word quiet. Four major stars are under con­ sideration for the major theatre pro­ duction, "The Subject Was Roses," which begins August 12. Art Carney, Howard Duff (who recently starred in the season finale of Magnum, P.I., as Magnum's grandfather), Brian Keith and Pat Hingle may be chosen for the male lead. Elizabeth Perry has been selected for the female lead. Chumbley said "The Subject Was Roses," which won a Tony Award, is one of America's great plays and pro­ vides a wonderful opportunity for the average college student to see a major theatre production without leaving Boone. Along with the full-time Ap­ palachian Summer staff, many ASU faculty and staff members play a big role in organizing and producing the festival. Dr. Frank Mohler of the theatre department will design the set and lights for the theatre production and Mary Wyrick of the art depart­ ment will direct a painting and out­ door sculpture exhibit. "We try to use the expertise on campus to create a first-rate program," Chumbley said. He has succeeded in doing that largely, he said, with the support of Chancellor Thomas and other ASU ad­ ministrators who mandated that the program continue to grow.

First of all to Portia Healy who gave me this job in the first place. Most of all, I'd like to thank the Diversions staff who are the greatest staff. Last weekend, I went home to see my little sister, Emily. She, of course, already had plans for Friday night (the big Greensboro Page football game) so we decid­ ed to meet for a late movie. I sat at home for awhile, talking to my parents, then I went up to the theatre. A person's got to have some fun on a Friday night, right? Wrong. I should've stayed home. I'd been looking forward to the aew Molly Ringwald movie. I like her. She played a kid who was misunderstood by her parents in Sixteen Candles, and a rich, misunderstood kid in The Ireakfast Club, and a socially misunderstood kid in Pretty in Pink. What 1 don't understand is why she agreed to make her latest movie, The Pick-up Artist. Robert Downey was Jack Jericho. He went around chasing girls and saying dumb things. Sometimes he'd get their phone number, and sometimes he wouldn't. He supposedly had a job, which sometimes he'd go to and sometimes he wouldn't. He sees Molly Ringwald (her character's name is Randi something) at a bar where some sleazy guy wants her to spend the j^t with some other sleazy guy because her dad owes the second sleazy guy $25,418 or something ''he that, and it's the first sleazy guy's job to collect payment. She refuses because it's against her Principles. It's not against her principles, however, to spend a morning Parking in Jack's car with him ™e next day; after which, she 'hanks him, gets out of the car refuses to give him her [ ,Ph°ne number, because all "c s interested in is picking up rirjs for cheap conquests. Huh? I also have to add that a c°nvertible in the middle of a Public park in broad daylight is J10' high on my list of classy h'ngs to do. So the movie goes on; Jack ' uses her, she runs and the eazy gUyS want money. Her fathler is a hopeless drunk. 1 'hink we're supposed to feel com'k iion and pity for him, I think, me sleazy guys finally give Moll'y until noon the next day to h°®t up with the money.

You see, most of the things 1 wanted to say I already have, in one form or another (or under one name or another). After thinking (surprise, surprise—I didn't strain anything) I realized I did have a few parting observations about the school year of 1987-88 I should make. So here we go; all aboard my train of thought. In the world of music we were treated with excellent albums from the likes of Sinead O'Conner, Sisters Of Mercy, Robbie Robertson, PiL, Sting, Morressey, Talking Heads, and Midnight Oil to name but a few. This was also the same year that had Michael Jackson grabbing himself all over M-TV trying to prove to the world he is a man. While we mourned the deaths of two truly great bands, The Smiths and Husker Du, we clamored over the reforming of a rock legend that has become a mockery of it's former self; Pink Floyd. This new "Lee Press-On Floyd" reeked of mediocrity. "Radio KAOS," by Floyd founder, Roger Waters, kind of stunk too. What a shame Waters and Gilmore couldn't have squeezed their egos onto one album instead of wasting two. Speaking of things that are mediocre, just take a gaze at Top 40. Not a pretty sight, huh? Oh well, take comfort in the knowledge that music from the Tiffany's and Michael Jackson s don't last forever (when was the last time you heard "Billy Jean"?) while cool progressive music is timeless (how many know the words to "Add It Up" by The Violent reaimes!—I'm sure you at least know one line). Jello Biafra fought for our freedom and won, while his buddy, and author of Raising P.G. Kids In An X-Rated Society, Tipper Gore, stood by her hubby, Albert, on his quest for the White House. Even though it was a rocky road, she managed to take time out and chat with me. In an interview, for WASU, she told me she didn't feel her involvement with the PMRC would hamper Al's chances for Presi­ dent. I guess we shouldn't really trust her, now should we? After all, she did smoke pot in college with young Al. You all know that dope clouds one's memories. I wonder which music acted as her scapegoat for smoking "Satan's Cigarettes?" The world may never know. One last note on "music" revolves around some trendy concerts I saw in the past year. The Psychadelic Furs can indeed brood, the The Cure had it down to a science. The Ramones changed drummers twice during the three times I saw them. Their biggest fan, Madonna, came to town the night after one of their soldout per­ formances. "Yes," I did go see her and "no," I didn't hate it; which is equivalent to enjoying a show by an artist I like. David Bowie wasn't that great, but I did enjoy his "Solid Gold Dancers" (or was that the other way around?). REM proved that while they can't go back to Rockville, the future can still be exciting and fresh. All that Sting proved was that he doesn't need The Police to be hip. Closer to home, the local band scene is the most promising it has been in a while. Anyone with any doubts about the caliber of the local musicians should look no further than three of the most outstanding guitarists in the area. Stephen King (Ranger Rick), Chris Cybulski (No Reason Why), and Lawrence Winn (Fear <t Loathing) are without a doubt the best of the best. With each mixing their original styles with equally interesting lyrics, they have made their young groups that much more exciting to watch. Oh! And how can I forget to mention The Outer Limits when talking about local bands? With Not The Numbers and Discord gone, The Outer Limits have become the megamothers of the Boone scene. Their audience keeps growing with each new concert. The Outer Limits, and the rest of the locil bands, were indeed a bright spot i» the world of this ASU student. The world of film wis safe for nor­ mal people this past s:hool year with no films by Sylvestr Stallone to worry about. Some geat movies were Fatal Attraction (miking it fun to wash dishes again), 3roadcast News, and Hairspray. Sone good movies were Throw Mama From The Train, Beetlejuice, and Ttree Men And A Baby. Some putid movies were Jimmy Reardon ard House 2. Video rentals were the nal news as far as films went this yea*. With movies hit­ ting the retail le«l soon after their theatrical release, everyone c«uld soon Dirty Dana at home. The world of IV. may never b« the same after M-TVs Remote Control. I must admit thatdeep down I do like this show. You lave to, it's just s« sil­ ly and unconveitional that it's mak­ ing M-TV nea again. Speaking of M-TV, I am relly tired of Kevin Seal hosting 120 Mnutes. While it is a great show, hi is such a jerk tHat it makes it hard to watch. Elsewnere, this past year,we were exposed to the newest form of T.V. program­ ming— Dramdy's. The most noted are The Worier Years and Hooperman.

Plans after graduation were not yet for­ mulated or even really cared about since '88 was such "a long way off". The "long way off" is now (a lot quicker than I suspected) and though I won't be walking across the stage (I'm shooting for December), many of the friends that 1 have made over the years and have grown close to will be walking soon. It is for these people that this article is written. It's really been a strange year. For the first time ever, I haven't regretted cutting my bangs. 1 used to show friends my mealcard as a joke; now 1 look just like it. My horned-rimmed glasses that I've had since high school collasped one night for no apparent reason. The last phone bill was paid before it was due. I want a real job. I called home last week to ask my parents for some money for food and art supplies, and they offered rue a car. I keep getting decorating ideas for my own house. As you can see, things are getting pretty wacked out. I would like to thank some people and to wish them luck in life for many of them are graduating, ana won t get i a chance to do so next year. Special thanks for being my friends and other things go to: First and foremost my American Art History class, the best class I've ever had and the coolest assortment of people (from Rebecca Brooks to Greg 'Hippie-boy' Pope); everyone in the art department I know who isn't in the previously mentioned class; Jon, my roommate, for turning me on to Royal Crescent Mob last December and the sole person respon­ sible for anyone on this campus listen­ ing to that band now; Rob, my other roomie for all the food he's give me; Mike Norman, for all the cool art­ work; Phlegm Research Clinic, for giving me a creative outlet; Curtis Prather, for helping me meet the Ramones, getting WASU to change their format so that college music was actually played at this college and for inside info on certain females; Clark Whittington, the coolest, for promis­ ing to name one of his kids "Fred after me; Julie Steffen, for her braid (also a written apology for attempting to bite her neck while she was reading "Interview With the Vampire" on our way back from NYC); Alison 'Charlie' Varon and Beth Hughes for ali the time they braided my hair my freshman year; the famous Bill Milican, for being such a cool guy and breaking new records in head sized (no, you may not tape any more of our CD's); every girl I've ever had a crush on (if you fit under the category of girl, this probably means you); to anyone who has lent me money or art supplies (i.e. Mr. Thand Wilkes); the tomato (say toe-MAH-toe) whose knees I've fondled all semester and who I could never get a proper date with; Scott Dadson and the Lost Guides for pulling my splintered vocals chords into the limelight once more; Bill Baldwin for the cheapest prices in town; Jay for being .. .well, Jay, the wacky inhabitants of Kel-Pat terrace No. 15 for all the hilarity; Mark Blackmon Presley and Kirk Stamey for helping make my radio shift such a pleasurable experiei ce; Wendy for practically shearing :ny head the night before I planned to ask a Homecoming Queen candidate out on a major date; the entire ASU art faculty (please let me pass); and, final­ ly, especially to Will Marley, who I met in the third (or was it fourth) grade. It's really neat that despite all , of the differences, arguments, slap­ ping fits and verbal assaults that we've had over the years that we've become stronger friends than eve" before. He's got a ricky and a hot le/ hand, etc... The best of luck to one and a, and, of course, toodles! one bit. I'm also getting disgusted with Cosby and that lame spin-off starring Lisa "Boy Do I Look Great Naked" Bonet. Family Ties isn't as fun as it used to be, while Mar­ ried. ..With Children keeps improv­ ing. I enjoy Wiseguy, but I'm not sure that I understand it. Repeats of The Munsters, Donna Reed, and Monty Python are still trendy to "veg-out" on. The college scene in general has changed some since my freshman year. While pizza delivery is still the choice food for hungry students, places like Amadeus, Our Daily Bread, and Bash Riprock's have made downtown Boone that "in" place to be seen. One important change is the current variety of record stores in Boone to spend our parent's hard earned money at. With one priding itself in convenience for Joe Con­ sumer, one boasting about it's hard to find items, and yet another that con­ centrates on low prices; Boone has become the center for musical diversi­ ty in the high country.

Appalachian Staff Writer Editor's note— Of all the things ASU students have to be proud of here in Boone, the local band scene tops the list. These bands come in a variety of styles, and there's something for everyone to ap­ preciate. This article summing up the local band scene appeared in the April 21 issue.

Do you think The Edge would be so pretentious as to release an album as U2?

Waters became the "leader" of the band as his ideas became more and more dominant in the themes of the band's many concept albums. By the time The Final Cut was released. Pink Floyd was little more than Waters with the other members as a Nicking band. Over the vears, all the members of the band have participated in solo projects, some good, some bad, some e^erimental, none Pink Floyd. Waters and Gilmour in particular have had critical and commercial suc­ cess with their solo albums These two each had some choice of words to say during recent battles over the rights to the name "Pink Floyd." Waters viewed Pink Floyd as a creative vehicle whose usefulness had expired, but Gilmour felt that additional Pink Floyd projects could be successful without damaging the >ee 11 ()NI) Pagell �10 THE APPALACHIAN. THURSDA Y. MA Y5. 1988 Smithereens one of highlights Editor's note: ASU was graced with the presence of many talented bands this year. Among those nationally known bands were the Smithereens. This article appeared in the April 21 issue. By ERIC BOLASH Appalachian Slaff Writer lillll Maybe 1 misunderstood The Smithereens... Maybe 1 misunderstood the college music charts... 1 had always been under the impres­ sion that each of these represented a refreshingly different outlook jof music. A viewing of The Smithereens' show on Tuesday, April 19 proved this theory wrong, however. The Smithereens dragged through a set bf about two and a half hours that seemi ed to please the many intoxicatfcd spectators, but came across ^s somewhat boring to those with higher expectations of such a highly acclaim­ ed "college" band. The Smithereens played many of the songs from their new album, Green Thoughts, and this may have had something to do with the show's dragging tempo. Green Thoughts is a nicely arranged album, but there is not real kick to it that makes the music energetic or exciting when played live. ' snoke with drummer, Dennis Diken in a telephone interview out of Carteret, New Jersey, the band's home town. Diken claimed, "We're a rock n' roll band. We try to make music for everybody and we don't limit it to a certain audience." This statement might be the key to such an unsatisfying show; The Smithereens do indeed want to please everyone, and this may be their downfall. Com­ placency io this style of music is quite dull, and, by striving to please everyone AVith their music, this band seems tot stay in the mainstream of music and not really go off on any in­ teresting tangents.. .like picking up the tempo, for instance. The show began with Something New fnj>m the new album, and con­ tinued with Groovy Tuesday, Down In My Own Tecrs, and The World We Know, > the majority of which also came from the new album. Singer, Pat Di.Nizio complemented the songs with the pure, but forceful vocals that tare one of the tetter aspects of the ^and. Drummer, Dennis Diken seemdrag the ttmpo at bit by not keeping up, and his made some of tnd spngs difficult to follow. Bassist, Mark Mesaros seened to try to make up for the dragginj tempo by being quite active on stage, but this backfired and he orfy came across as a young boy who is lyper-active from large indulgence in Jolt Cola. As if these extremes were not enough, guitarist, Jim Babjak seemed almost uninterested in what he was doing; every time Patrick pointed at him and said, "Jimmy" Jim would mechanically churn out a guitar solo, but there was not much feeling in what he was doing. BASH RIPROCK'S 262-5252 Ht Cigarettes is a slow, comtemplative piece accented by a delicate acoustic guitar, and Spellbound is similar in its dreamy vocals and flowing, rich chord progressions, but how much of these ballads can one take? Songs like World We Know and House We Used To Live In were a bit more upbeat, but they still had a heavy, lagging foundation that kept them from reallv "rockin." After The Smithereens "finished their set," they came back out (unsur­ prisingly) to play three more encores. They began the first encore with a cover of The Kinks' Lola that came to an abrupt, unprofessional halt, and then continued with other old rock n' roll selections; among these were Substitute by The Who, and the in­ strumental, Wipe Out. These covers were a bit more energetic and they really got some of the crowd members going, but this energy came too late to save the show's overriding sluggish mood. a Taco The return of Aqualung-again By AQUALUNG Editor's note: Every so often, the Diversions page has featured articles by the infamous Aqualung. What would a year in review issue be without looking back on the opinions of this mysterious writer? I saw a live concert this past Friday night. What a Rush! Yep, I saw Rush. So what if that's a stupid lead. I'm having fun. Are you? Probably not and that's a real shame. I don't think people drink enough in this world. Let me tell you one thing before I get started; I won't pay to see Rush again. It's cheaper if I go to a movie theater. 1 can take a date to a flick and see a better one than Rush can produce. And it's chiaper too. That includes post-show refreshments. Don't get me wronj. Rush played wonderfully as usual, tiey just decid­ ed to entertain with viieos. Yuck! I hate videos. I can watch them at home on MTV. The first part of the concert con­ sisted of all new songs wth a few ex­ ceptions such as "Subdivsions," and "Thej Weapon" off he Signals album. The songs are gjod but it seems to me the group fehan urge to throw video footage on a luge screen instead of entertaining b; playing. Personally, I go to concertsto watch the musicians play, noi to be distracted by some mindles visual crap; My compatriots and I geneally en­ joyed the show much betteras the music played got older. "Tom Sawyer" and "2112' were rockip' as usual and Rush relid on their playing ability to entertain.jed- dy Lee (lead vocals, bass, keyboards) showed his virtuosity by singing, play­ ing bass and keyboards simultaneous­ ly. (I bet he can chew gum and walk at the same time, too.) Alex Lifeson blistered his axe and seemed to enjoy himself more when playing the vin­ tage Rush. He electrified the audience and got in some killer guitar licks while becoming a show by himself. And what would a Rush show be without "XYZ" and a Neil Peart drum solo. Peart showed his talent on the Signals tour (and others, I'm sure) and gave the crowd a treat at the Hold Your Fire show. His drum kit rotated during the solo as he went from drums to electric drums and the xylophone. He also had some canned sounds that he made use of which sounded like horns. I could have done without that. It was pretty much super overall, though. Saturday, May 7, is ASU Student Appreciation Day with $1.99 Pitchers all day long and $1.99 footlong hotdog baskets.

This floor contains some of the greatest guys you'll ever meet, but they have their drawbacks. First of all they never sleep. For instance, last night there was an intramural wiffelball game going on at 3 a.m. Sorry, I don't know who won. I guess our R.A., Lawman, won. He was out studying(?). Sure, Dave. I also think that other than Eric, David, Rob, and Moke, I'm the only guy on the hall that really hits the books. (Right, right!) I'm also curious as to why they throw up in the halls right next to the bathroom. Why don't they wash the shaving cream off their doors? Why do they bounce balls in the hall at ungodly hours of the night? Why are they loud and obnoxious when they are trying to sneak girls in their room after hours? Oh yes, they're freshmen! No offense guys, even I bounced balls in the hall when I was a freshman. Gripe 07: Some guys have all the luck. Some guys get all the breaks. Some guys get all the pain. Some guys do nothing but complain. (Not a Mike D. original rhyme.) Well, that's most of my gripes. Oh yeah, I also don't like people who throw The Appalachian down in the parking lot after the staff works so hard on it. That's all folks.

He probably thought, "1 can record an album and call it David Gilmour and make a few hun­ dred thousand, or I can make an album and call it Pink Floyd and make a few million." Gilmour is aware of the magic associated with the name Pink Floyd. He capitalized on this knowledge and recorded an album to sell to every Pink Floyd Ian who wanted to hear the magic agon. Unfortunately, the magic is not there, and the existence ol this album makes Pink Floyd mean significantly less than it did before. Momentary I apse of Reason is not a bad album. Portions of it <re creative and enjoyable, and it couki have been a great album by a band called Red Robert or lavender Lloyd. It does not, however, live up to the expectations inspired by itte name "Pink Floyd." •Hptoalac/iianTu win 262-6255 A t t o r n e y is in Continued from Page 9 HELD OVER Dai,y 7 & 9 PM 2:00-4:00 Wed. & Thurs. \ 10:00-12:00 i * Sat.-Sun. 3-5-7 4 9 PM Stacy and Melissa are about to discover a new four-letter word for sex in the '80s... from the Producers ot THE HIDING PLACE. |< and THE PRODlGAI REACH OUT TO SOMEONE this motion picture can prov e you with ' ideal opportunity to introduce people to Christ Begin praying today lor someone 1 with you to see CAUGHT Workman Hall 319 % A lighter look at what happens in die dark. f|j AI \TVERSAI.

All of us will remember biting our nails and pulling our hair as another deadline approached.. . and passed. From time to time we yelled, and sometimes we cried, and sometimes we said things we didn't mean. And yet, while the bad times were plentiful, the good times were even more abundant. We laughed more often than we yelled. We even had some awesome parties. In the long run, it is the parties that we will remember. (They were GREAT parties!)

The weather finally came into play in the second quarter as Georgia Southern quarterback Raymond Gross coughed up the football on the ASU 44 and App defensive lineman Anthony Downs came away with the recovery. Downs had a fine afternoon as he made 10 solo tackles, including a big fourth down stop to thwart a Georgia Southern threat, caused a fumble and recovered one. Following Downs' fumble recovery Melchor and the Mountaineer offen­ sive line took control by executing a beautiful 10-play, 55-yard drive that culminated in Melchor's second TD of the afternoon. On the scoring drive Melchor car­ ried the football eight times for 53 yards. On the ensuing point-after attempt Nittmo slipped on the icy surface and missed only his second PAT of the season to leave the score 13-0. "The holes were kind of big," Melchor said. "The offensive line just outmuscled them and moved them right off the ball." "He (Melchor) has great balance," ASU Coach Sparky woods said.

The second half saw the Lady Herd turn the tables on ASU and take a four-point lead. "We had a deficit of 58-54 at one time, and it was with Marshall playing their big line-up. Even though we Were down four points, 1 felt good because we were getting good shots plus we were getting used to their wide zone defense," Robinson said. The ASU shooting cooled significantly in the second half while Marshall was picking up their percentage. "I was not worried. We feel like with the shooters we have, if we get the shots, they're going to fall," Robinson said. Women trackers top the conference By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian SporU Editor The Lady Apps track team capped off the end of a spectacular season with an outstanding performance and first place finish at the Southern Con­ ference Outdoor Track Tournament this weekend. This team performance included winning 11 of the 18 events, setting nine new conference records at the meet and three new school records. The top three finishers in each event received All-Conference honors, and the Lady Mountaineers again topped the conference by tallying 34 honorees. In addition to an outstanding team performance this weekend, Lamonda Miller received Athlete of the Year honors in the conference. Miller finished first in the 100 m with a time "This is a huge time for of 11.56, first in the 200 m at 23.88, and anchored the 400 m relay team to us right now.

Osada continued to run well with the 1500 m, and she clinched the top spot with a time of 4:39.25. The ASU squad also topped the competition in the 1600 m relay with a 3:52.84 finish. The relay was compris­ ed by Pipkins, Keys, Tonya Peay, and Rogers. Senior Beth Ruggles had an outstanding day with top finishes in both the 3000 m and the 5000 m with respective times of 10:07.62 and 17:30.64. Vanessa Tysor finished third in both events with a time of 17:49.lOin the 5000m and 10:22.08 in the 3000 m. Holly DeCann placed third in the 10,000 m run in 39:10.94. The final standings in the con­ ference tournament were ASU 263, Marshall 107, WCU 61, ETSU 59, UT-C 33, Furman 20 and Davidson 7. Coach John Weaver was pleased but not surprised at the outcome of the tournament. "It's nice to go into the tournament knowing that you are the favorite team, but to go in and win the tourna­ ment with such a quality performance was the best part of the weekend," he said. "Never during the season did we sit back on our talent. We really worked and we proved it at the meet." Mountaineers "butcher" Cats with defense By SABRINA SELLS Appalachian Sporta Edllor The ASU Mountaineers rocked the Varsity Gymnasium Saturday night as they rolled to a 77-69 victory over the Davidson Wildcats.

The App stayed right on 'heir heels, though with the outstanding offensive performance in the lane by Ben Miller and the rebounding at both baskets by Sam Gibson. Miller led the team.m and Gibson scoring with 13 points rebounds" *With both teams shooting well, the 10. first half ended. ASU shot 44 percent. When the teams hit the hardwood for second half play, both continued to shoot well. Ronnie Christian, play­ ing with a painful groin injury, chipped in four baskets and three assists while Kemp Phillips kept the offense at a patient tempo. Phillips led the team with five assists. After two quick second-half fouls, Sam Gibson was forced to spend most of the second half on the Mountaineer bench. Senior Jerry Holmes came off the bench and helped keep the Apps' inside scoring game alive. His physical play held Wildcat center Jay Schmitt to two points in the second half. On the perimeter, Darryl Person was the hot hand in the second half. Person shot 5-7 from the field, sink­ ing two key three-pointers that put the Apps on top. The momentum in the game turned in favor of the Moun­ taineers when Davidson's Schmitt fouled out of the game with 4:51 left in the game. ASU maintained a narrow lead in the closing minutes of the game. With :58 seconds left, the Wildcat's Alan Hunter connected on a three-point basket to narrow the Apps' lead to three. After a Davidson time-out. Hunter used his fifth foul against ASU's Rodney Peel. Peel sank both free throws to extend the lead back to fiv. Davidson again cut the Moun­ taineers' lead to three when Himes scored on a Wildcat fast break. Again, Davidson called a time-out with :33 seconds remaining. When play resumed, Davidson's Maurice Gray fouled Phillips to stop the game clock at :29. Phillips sank both ends of the one-and-one to again put ASU up by five. After a three-point desperation shot by the Wildcats failed with :15 left, Christian's dunk with :10 iced the victory for the Mountaineers. Peel sank two more free throws with four seconds remaining to extend the margin to 77-69. ASU's head coach Tom Apke was pleased to have defeated the unbeaten Davidson Wildcats. "It was a great win for us since Davidson was probably our toughest game last year. Apke was also pleased with the Mountaineers' ability to read the Wildcat defense. "Davidson spread out the offense with their match-up defense and made it more difficult for us to take the three-point shot," Apke said. Kemp then stepped into the gap and was able to get the ball inside. The team realized that a defense cannot collapse and pressure at the same time." Jerry Holmes was cited by Apke for his second-half play. "Jerry is a big, rugged, physical player. He played well and so we decided to let him go until he made his fifth foul. He hit some mighty big free throws when the margin was still close," Apke said. Davidson's head coach Bobby Hussey attributed the Wildcat's loss to noor shootina. In addition, nussey claimed that the physical play by Holmes hampered the Wildcats' inside game. �1987-88 Sports big success for the Mountaineers Lady Continued from Page 13 grams in the country. Valorie Whiteside again led all scorers with 24 points and also con­ tributed with 16 rebounds. Johnson finished with 16 points, and senior point guard Jane Dalton shot 5 of 7 from the floor to finish with 15 points. ASU's Debbie Swicegood and Joanie Brackett contributed to the victory by not scoring, but by con­ taining Marshall's crowd pleasing Jenelle "Spuds" Stephenson. Coach Robinson called the two guard's con­ tribution "worth their weight in gold." Jane Dalton, Valorie Whiteside, and Beth Laney were named to the All-Tournament team. "Beth had an outstanding tourna­ ment, I can't say enough about Val. She played offense and defense like an All-American. Jane penetrated, controlled the offense and shot the ball well," Robinson said. Huntington was also the sight of an awards breakfast where the All Southern Conference team was named. ASU placed Valorie White­ side and Jane Dalton on the first team while Kim Johnson and Beth Laney made the second team. "It is a great credit to this team that we placed four players on the AllConference team.

Valorie Whiteside was named coplayer of the year along with Regina Kirk of UT-Chattanooga. The senior from Inman, S.C. led the league in scoring with 25.5 per game and was fifth in the league at 10 rebounds per contest. Whiteside's contribution to women's athletics in the Southern Conference will not soon be forgot­ ten. Coming off an impressive tourna­ ment as well as an imposing season, the Lady Mountaineers were looking forward to a postseason NCAA bid. Somehow, they were denied. Unknown to them, the game against Marshall was the last of the season and the final chapter in Valorie Whiteside's and Jane Dalton's careers. "The,team we have is so unselfish and smart. We had no idea this was our last game, but since it was, there Continued from Page 13 are 10 women who can feel good about what went on," Robinson said. test with a total of 50 points.

People are seeing that ASU is for real. Our name is known; people who know basketball know ASU," Robinson said. Valorie Whiteside and Jane Dalton could leave no better legacy. For all of the participants in varsi­ ty, intramural, and club sports, the future at Appalachian is even more promising with new addi­ tions and expansions in the areas of athletics being planned.

That's all there is. STOP! By MICHAEL R. COOKE Appalachian Columnist Interviews, interviews, interviews. If you want a job you have to go through them. But interviews aren't a whole lot of fun, so here are a few suggestions guaranteed to liven up any business day. Everyone knows what you are sup­ posed to do in a formal business ap­ pointment (be on time, be prepared, firm handshake, etc.), but why do things in a conventional manner? Celebrate your individuality and let that dormant creativity bloom! My first suggestion is to flaunt the norm in dress. Think how memorable you will be by wearing a Hawaiian polyester shirt, sunglasses, and a jock to the interview (especially you ladies). The interviewer's day will not be the same after you arrive, breaking out of the dreary procession of business suits. Second, try out some alternative methods of speech. Perhaps you could answer all the questions in a Czechoslovakian accent, or what the heck, just go crazy and use another language altogether. You'll really win points and influence if you make up a language on the spot to use and in­ tersperse the conversation with lapses of gibberish. Always be ready with some pseudo-scientific explanation to cover yourself, for example, "It's Na­ tional Roondese Amalgam Language Appreciation Day and I'm ap­ preciating it." A third idea is to remember that maners are just a state of mind. If you go out to a business lunch, try eating without your hands. Employers really value innovation, and showing them all the wayywi can get food into your mouth a capper. Also, try to use mental telepathy to wipe your mouth (I always feel ESP and telepathy work better with some sort of piercing yell, as well). Playing with your food like a child can be a showcase for your openness to new ideas, and mashing all your food into a kind of slop while adding ketchup, salt, sugar, your drink, or any other available additive is a legendary prac­ tice among America's top executives — show them your best! Next, try to unnerve the interviewer by screaming answers to their ques­ tions. You might use Bobcat Goldthwait as a role model here, especially the manic look he approx­ imates—wild eyes, dishieveled clothing, unkempt hair. A helpful ad­ dition might be toying with a pinless grenade, sharpening a well-useid axe, or imitating Clint Eastwood "if he was Bobcat's older brother." The key to the interview is available from Master Lock.. .no, wrong. The key could be the little things you pay attention to. There could be one thing you do that every other interviewee forgets or is too timid to try. For in­ stance, the handshake. To grab atten­ tion, coat your palm with lard, or hide a dead fish up your sleeve and really give that businessperson a dead fish handshake. What about your posture in the interview room? The best solution (outside of throwing your self on the desk or lying in the floor) is to flaunt conventionality again by sitting with your back turned to the interviewer. That really breaks the tension of looking someone in the eye. Perhaps you are now asking yourself why one would want to be so different and odd. I don't know why, but Robin Leach said something about all interviewees looking like they came from a cookie cutter. "To distinguish thyself, that is the ques­ tion," as Shakespeare might have possibly said if I had told him to. Well—do you want to be generic or do you want to be an individual? Are you willing to sacrifice your precious, personal beliefs and mannerisms to get a job and see the world? Why not—at least you get paid.! Lower drinking age causes problems By JAMES F. JARRETT Appalachian Columnist Since the raising of the North Carolina alcohol consumption age to 21 many college students and other people in their late teens have been upset. Here we are in a country that believes we are old enough to go to war or be responsible enough to vote at 18, but we can't go into a bar and order a drink until we are 21. by Berke Breathed A LOVELY PINO PONS.

The proclaimed reason for these changes is to decrease the rate of drinking and driving incidents as weli as get the alcohol out of our schools. The number of drunk driving in­ cidents have gone down but this can be just as easily contributed to the DWI crackdown. In fact, studies recently released state that while light to moderate drinkers ages 18-20 have dropped off slightly, the heavy drinkers are now drinking even more heavily. I once had the chance to visit Europe. The European atitude toward alcohol is entirely different from our own. Children grow up around alcohol. They are served wine with their meals and occasionally drink beer. They see alcohol as a part of life and not a goal. As a result of this the number of alcohol-related incidents in Europe is lower than that in the U.S. In my opinion, making something illegal to a specific group makes the same something more desirable. This is sometimes referred to as the "for­ bidden fruit" idea, and it has some merit. If a child is told that his brother can go swimming but he can­ not then the child is curious to find out what is so great or different, and he goes anyway. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves..." We, as humans, are naturally curious. We want to learn for ourselves, and no amount of warnings, threats, or ac­ tions will keep us from doing something we want to, or are curious about. The government would be better off teaching about proper alcohol consumption at an early age ana pro­ viding more people with simple facts and not scare tactics. An educated person is far more responsible than one who feels threatened: Currently, the alcohol consumption age is only a minor nuisance to underaged persons who want to drink. Older friends, students, strangers, and in some cases parents are willing to buy the drinks for them. The peo­ ple who buy the drinks not only do it for their friends but also do it for money, "Here's a five, get me a bottle of wine and keep the change." 1 do not care what is done but I do know the current system is not work­ ing. Something different must be tried. I am not the person to say what will and what will not work but as long as the problem remains something different must he done.

WILLIAMS Appalachian C olomnlat Religion is one of the most con­ troversial issues in the history of man. Creationism versus Evolutionism is perhaps the most controversial issue of the twentieth century. Creationism is the belief that God, the supreme being, is the source of the origin of all matter. It also encom­ passes the belief that God creates a new soul for every newborn as oppos­ ed to the belief of Traducianism. Evolutionism is the belief in a pro­ cess of development of a species from its primitive state to its present state. Unfortunately many persons feel this ideology embraces the idea the Homo sapiens, modern man, evolved from an ape. People also tend to think of evolution as a process that moves toward a more perfect state. These ideas do not reflect true evolutionary theory. Christianity fundamentalists, per­ sons whose religious beliefs are based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, feel threatened by scientific theory which offers a very logical solution to the process by which the cosmos came into existence. The Bible contains many creation stories of which the first two (Gen. I; Gen. 2) are the best know. Both creation stories seem to agree that God took six days to complete his creation. (He rested on the seventh.) The first implies that God's creativity act was in giving order to the chaos that was the formless heavens and earth. The second gives us no indica­ tion of what was existent before God, but it does point out that man was "formed" from the earth or dust.

Continued fronTp^T A.pUacMii Cotaaabt ine Man in the Mirror' speaks out on issues 3ear Dear Student RnHv Body: Hi, how are you? I'm a graduating senior taking time out of my busy schedule to say a few words and at the same time comment on some of the things that I've noticed during the last few years at this school. There have been a plethora of things that have given me a. lot of satisfaction: the organizations I've been involved with, the people I've met, the tight circle of friends that I care very much about, the degree to show for all the trials and tribula­ tions I've endured here, the new dimension that was added to my life the moment I set foot on this cam­ pus, the Appalachian summers, the parkway, and many other things I could expound on but for lack of time, I won't. There are also a plethora of things that bring me great anguish now. I am however, willing to forego that particular list to go over a couple of things that really bug me. ~c _n .1 . First of all, there just aren't enough cosmopolitan students at this school to justify calling it a universi­ ty with an "Ivy Twist." At least not enough for anyone who wanted to develop more fully as a human being (or person) to do any good at all. A good example of this would be the demoralizing apathy of the stu­ dent body in general. It seems that very few students are concerned about what happens locally, na­ tionally, or internationally that has an impact on their lives. The wonders of the world lie in its diver­ sity but many students who have not experienced much outside North Carolina are content to adhere to the things they've always known, afraid to venture into or accept any situation that may present an alter­ native point of view. I know for a fact that there are students who think no further than next weekend's opportunity to drink, to be merry, or to fornicate. It isn't that people here aren't good, it s just that education is sup­ posed to enlighten you but in light of some of the forces on this cam­ pus, it's like a positive and negative force meeting each other head up. The outcome can only be cancella­ tion, or in this case, nothing at all. Up to this point, this letter has been very general but I would like to be more specific. You can read it and weep or take it with a grain of salt. Social Fraternities and Sororities I do realize that mayhem and mer­ riment are a part of the social struc­ ture of you organizations, but with all due respect to some of the good things you do, please remember that every organization exists at the pleasure of other people. If you find it hard to wear your letters on cam­ pus then it could very well be a result of how you've conducted yourselves in the past. I would sug­ gest being a little less selfish. snob- bish, vain and obnoxious and try be­ ing a little more altruistic and possibly philanthropic. is predominately a white school, there should much more togetherness among blacks than is displayed, whether you're greek, an athlete or just a student. Athletes If it's the consensus among some of you "jocks" that you can glide through school on muscle instead of mind, then GET OVER IT. While some students work hard for their grades, you play on the sympathies of your instructors to get special favors or allowances. Please remember that you too may graduate one day and there are already too many physical education majors. One parting thought—God gave you muscle and he gave you a mind, you'll be graduating one day, decide.

WASU was "Your Only Alternative" with David Lee Roth, Bruce Springsteen, Tiffany, Madonna, and John Mellencamp. WASU was Teaching The Mountains To Rock And Roll Again" with such raucous performers as Morrissey, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Echo & The Bunnymen, Aztec Camera and Icehouse. WASU's for­ mat could not be called Top 40, could „c'assified as progressive or AOR.

Literary gems DO turn up in the strangest places. Reducing Risks According to a recent American Cancer Society study, all women should be considered at appreciable risk for breast cancer. The Society urges women to learn and practice breast self-examination and have periodic mammograms when appropriate. Cm Many people tend to dislike those who question that which they take for granted. I think this is why people dislike philosophers. Nothing conceivable is exempt from questioning in the study of philosophy. The search for truth leads wherever truth may be found. God, ethics, knowledge, and much more may be questioned. Why does this bother so many peo­ ple? Philosophy disturbs people because it forces them to think! Bertrand Russell wrote: "Thought is subversive, and revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to privilege, established in­ stitutions, and comfortable habitats; thought is anarchic and lawless, indif­ ferent to authority, careless to the well-tried wisdom of the ages." Philosophy will pursue knowledge to the very gates of Hell if truth so leads. Philosophy forces us to ques­ tion our own beliefs, traditions and accepted absolutes. Christianity fears ____ -u.-. •_ . philosophy because it questions everything that religion is. Fear of destroying our beliefs, holds us from questioning them. However, one easily overcomes his fears when the desire to know over­ takes and drives him to search for truth. Aristotle said "All men by nature desire to know." Unfortunately, this is not always true in our society. We desire to uphold tradition, and since truth may upset that, we remain ignorant. If we would attempt to understand other ideas, we would be able to live in har­ mony. There are many misconceptions about philosophers. Some include the ideas that philosophers are atheists, philosophers are lazy, and that philosophers don't know what they believe in. Philosophy does not require one to become an athiest, give up traditional values, or accept others' ideas. Although this may occur, you can re­ tain your own beliefs while question­ ing their validity. Many of your beliefs will be strengthened by ques­ VJUVJ One academic course in philosophy tends to bring confusion into our lives. We are introduced to the pro­ cess of questioning, but we are not ready to formulate beliefs. A syn­ thesis of philosophic thought from many areas must be absorbed to become comfortable with philosophy. Impatience and insistence on strict ideologies causes many people to become frustrated with philosophy and leave it prematurely. Philosophy encompasses all things. It offers everyone an opportunity to engage in thought about any subject. Therefore, it is probably the most in­ teresting study in 11IC. vjuiij Jiuuj ill life. on her lipstick.

However, I contend the study of philosophy forces one to come to a religious belief.

Black stud.ents are not helped by coming (or being lured) here when they would probably be better off going somewhere else, and that school can reap the benefits of extra federal money because it was able to get the students that it need­ ed.

Appalachian Slaff Writer the academic year comes to a close so does the Woh/Eeeker administration Making ASU better for you" was the claim of the Wolf/Beeker platform. As Iv °u e POintS of their P'atform was to establish an Off-Campus Affairs cabinet position in Senate. This idea had mixed ^rone's"15 Senat°rS' inC'Uding °ppos" We had a lot of opposition; we weren't really even sure if we would get it " Vice president of SGA Adelaide Beeker.' The office was indeed established, with Gary Greene as Off-Campus Affairs Com­ mittee Chair. One of the big accomplishments of the off-campus affairs committee was the Ren­ tal Fair which was held April 8 in Varsity Gym. Renters from around town attended as a source of information for students who were seeking residences for next year or this summer. A renters handbook was compiled which contained good and bad points of the different rental facilities around town. The fair will become an annual event. The committee also established an OffCampus newsletter as a source of informa­ tion for off-campus students about campus events and Senate activities. Another committee whose year was characterized by success was the Student Affairs Committee under chair Bobby Justice. This committee was responsible for the installation of more courtesy phones around campus, improvement of lighting in the walkways behind Winkler and Bowie Residence halls and for the new Food Ser­ vice's number (262-MENU) which enables students to find out what each facility is ser ving on a particular day. Student Affairs also had a very active voice in the conflict with security that oc­ curred with the proposed parking situation for next year. Justice said that the main objective of the committee was to outreach to students and let them know that they had a voice in hap­ penings and decisions of governing bodies. Out of 21 proposed bills this year, 15 of them passed. Legislation was passed concerning drop-add, where a full day will now be allowed , notification of fee deadlines prior to registration, addition of courtesy phones, request for time change in residence hall closings, and the consultation of renters about the smoke detector law in rented residences. The office of vice president and president of SGA basically equal in power. It is the duties of each that are different. As vice president, it is Adelaide Beeker who is the most exposed. She presided over Senate and acted as the voice of the Senate. Beeker was a senator on the Rules Coi in tee the year before becoming vice preside The duties of Cary Anne Wolf as p dent were a bit different. The president I a vote on the Board of Trustees, which the governing body of ASU. She present student bills before this committee works with the appropriate authorities student bills that have been passed Senate. Wolf served as Secretary of before becoming president. If they could have changed any th they would have had Mountaineer Ev running from the beginning of the ; Beeker said. The Administration did succeed with major points of their platform. They the year went really well and that they h, terrific cabinet. "I wish 1 knew then what 1 know in Beeker said. University water system meets EPA guidelines As a public water system operator, ASU is required to inform users of the system of the possibility of lead contamination. All public water systems are required to publish such notification even if there is no evidence of lead contamination and if drinking water meets Environmental Protection Agency standards. Annual spot checks and tests throughout the system show Appalachian's water to be within all guidelines for lead contamination said Mike Isenhour, supervisor of the university's water plant. The last test was completed March 30. To control corrosion, which can cause lead from soldered pipe joints to dissolve, water plant technicians keep pH levels around 7.5. Lead accumulates in the body from three potential sources. The major source is food, followed by air and drinking water. Lead was used in the construction of waterworks and in household plumbing for many years until banned by the federal government about four years ago. Even water treated to reduce corrosion can dissove traces of lead. The American Water Works Association recommends running tap water for two to . tnree minutes in the morning or when the system hasn't been used for several hours to clear standing water from lines. Since hot water dissolves lead more quickly, cold water should be used for drinking and cook­ ing. For more information call the EPA at (800) 426-4791 or Appalachian's water pla at 262-3197. Lead and Your Drinking Wat< is available from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D 20460.

The cookout will be held on Friday, May 13 at 3:30 p.m. at the Upper Stadium Field. "This is the university's way to say thank you for being here," Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs Todd Campbell said. "We also want to pro­ mote unity among the seniors and a good feeling about the campus." Seniors over 21 will be allowed to bring in one six-pack (cans only) of beer.

The cookout is sponsored by ASU's Dukakis Beats Bush In Straw Poll ASU students chose Michael Dukakis over George Bush in a presidential straw poll conducted last week the Political Science Club. Dukakis received 244 •ates, or 53.6 percent to Bush's 211 votes, or 46.4 Percent. Voters were asked to choose between mikakis and Bush because those candidates won an ""scientific primary conducted a week earlier.

The Society is open to student membership only by invitation. To be eligible, a student must have a 3.2 GPA in their major classes and 3.0 overall. Graduate students must maintain a 3.4 GPA in all graduate courses. In addition, members must rank in the top 35 percent of their class. Currently, there are 11 members in Alpha Phi Sigma. "We just started this semester," said McGee, "but hopefully we will be an active chapter." According to McGee, they have received approval, but have not received national recognition to date. Fields believes the award will make students more aware of criminal justice as an academic medium. Nationally, there are approximately 125 chapters. The goal of all chapters is to promote excellency in perfor­ mance and scholarship. In 1981, the Appalachian Staff Writer Alpha Phi Sigma, an honor society for criminal justice majors and minors, has won the National Outstanding New Chapter Award. They received the award at an an­ nual meeting of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences/Alpha Phi Sigma held in San Francisco. They were presented with a plaque and a check for $50. The award was given on the basis of individual members, the society's ac­ tivities, and their constitution. "Criminal justice majors as a whole rarely get academic recognition. We were very pleased and surprised," professor of Criminal Justice Dr. Charles Fields said. Fields serves as the faculty advisor for the society and is also on the Na­ tional Advisory Board. Officers of the Society include President Laura McGee, Vice-Presidcen Glenn Appalachian Photo by Virginia Thompson KILBURNE SPEAKS: Approximately 800 people attended Jean Kilburne's lecture Wednesday night as she spoke on "The Naked Truth: Advertising's Image of Women." Kilburne, a media critic, lecturer and writer discussed the serious, cumulative impact of advertising on individual attitudes, values, behaviors and society. Kilburne has worked in the broadcasting industry and has been a consultant for ABC, CBS news and 20/20. She presented a slide show depicting various mass media advertisements that exploited sex role stereotyping. Kilburne feels advertising in society reflects women as being flawless sex objects or demented housewives. Other advertisements have used women to sell products. These advertisements give a distorted image of women and reality. Kilburne noted that Americans are exposed to as many as 1,500 such advertisements every day> At the end of her lecture Kilburne added that as a society it is important for us to become conscious of images and their impact on our lives and to get involved in order to bring about change.

Another Fish Story Coming back to school from spring Break, my friend Grey I stopped at WalMart in Hickory. I wanted some goldfish Wd he wanted some plants. I '^hed into the pet department, jfPed with about $10 for some ®h, a bowl, food, gravel, etc. , [er all, how much can fish be, fght? , Gfey caught me looking longat a small, two gallon Tarium. He talked me into Uying it, letting me borrow some So instead of spending ' or 10 dollars on a goldfish 1 spent $30 on the aquarium, etta fish, two cardinal tetras, °°d and chemicals for the water. sa,d, oh well, it can't cost me more.

The production of this musical adaptation of the play by James M. Barrie took the time and effort of many. The dedication and caring of those involved clearly showed throughout the performance. Helen Tester was the perfectly NJ impudent and self-centered Peter Pan. Her energy helped carry the show and kept the audience involved > and attentive (and believe me, at 10 in the morning, there were a lot of young kids at that show who needed help paying attention for 2Vi hours!). With her strong voice and the right tone, she helped to overcome the problems of weak sound equipment and the fact that she was a woman playing a little boy. In a dual role, Stephen Parrish por­ trayed both the father of Wendy, John, and Michael Darling, and the dastardly Captain Hook. The role of Mr. Darling was somewhat uninspir­ ing, but as Captain Hook, he was absolutely brilliant. Dressed in a red, velour coat, white, frilly shirt, black pants and knee-length boots, he looked exactly like the movie version down to the long, curly, black hair, the large plumed hat, and, of course, the hook. The look of fear which crossed his face every time he heard the familiar tick of the crocodile that Howoll See PETER PAN Page 7 The Peter Pan troop put on a fantastic show. Enjoying 'Yoself at the mascot try outs New Yosef has been chosen By GREG RICHEY Appalachian Staff Writer The 1988-89 Yosef mascot search is no more. Last Tuesday afternoon in the Varsity Gymnasium tryouts were held and four potential Yosefs pranc­ ed and danced for the judges. There were four final contestants for the title of Yosef, and these con­ testants were graded on several different categories considered to be necessary for a successful Yosef mascot. rosef has many responsibilities that the crowd does not always see. He is a member of the ASU Cheerleading squad and must practice with the squad three times a week as well as lift weights two or three times a week. Yosef's purpose on the squad is to provoke school spirit at athletic events and other special functions. Much practice goes into the routines he performs effortlessly at football and basketball games. The four contestants were viewed by a crowd of approximately 40 peo­ ple. Each contender would change in­ to the Yosef costume in a wrestling room hidden from the view of the judges and the crowd to keep the identity of the mascot hopeful a ^secret. Each contestant then enacted a five to ten minute skit in front of the panel, and at the conclusion of the act would submit themselves to the spon­ taneous requests of Roachele Laney. The four skits consisted of a Yosef golfer, a Yosef who fell in love with a twirler and got married (with a splen­ did dance routine), a Yosef fisher­ man, and the winning skit, a Yosef fireman puttin' out a fire complete with dry ice smoke. The Yosef mascot was chosen for the coming season due to graduation of former mascot John Ballard. The decision was made by a panel of five judges: Roachel Laney, Bum Peterson Eddie Zegarra, Lynn Sessions, and'Coach Chip Sigmon. There were four final contestants for the title of Yosef, and these contestants were graded on several different categories fonsidered to be necessary for a suc^ cessful Yosef Mascot. These categories were interview, crowd ap­ peal, humor, exaggeration of move­ ment, clarity ofmovementandacting ability creativity and originality in Sta. and crowd "firing" ability. The final decision for next year's mascot came after about 20 minutes of deliberation among judges before the nervous con­ testants finally found out the winner. The final decision for next year s mascot came about 20 minutes after deliberation among judges before the nervous contestants finally found out the winner. Of course, the identity of the new Yosef mascot must not be disclosed, but next season's Yosef will be the same humorous, loveable hillbilly as always. By APRIL GkiniN El Cetera Editor This is not your typical yearbook. But if you are looking for a trendsetting look at life on ASU's campus look no more. In "Finding Yourself," the 1988 Rhododendron, you are finding a lot more than the usual cut and dried col­ lege annual. The staff of The Rhodo has put together an impressive and potentially award-winning publica­ tion. The words innovative, fun and action-packed all come to mind when you look at The Rhodo. All this and more. The most impressive feature is its layout. The staff has blended their individual personalities into a cohesive unit that reaches out to grab the reader. The theme of "Finding Yourself is reflected throughout and makes you want to be a part of ASU. The originality of the headlines and graphics surpasses last year's Rhodo. The addition of poetry to the sections really adds to the literary and emo­ tional quality of the entire work. The photography is, to put it mild­ ly, AWESOME! Photography Editor, John Faircloth, is to be con­ gratulated on his vivid, expressive and sometimes risque pics. It has a magazine-like quality unlike past Rhodo's.

MA Y ? I9SS Channel 32 is looking for you By LAURA BYRUM Special lo tkt Appalachian Getting tired of watching the same old thing? There is a new programming service which is directly targeted at college students. National College Television (NCTV) is a Campus Network Ser­ vice.

So, for all of you professors who have wondered why I don't speak when you say hello; for the students and classmates who walk away bewildered when you ask me about a class assignment and I look at vou as if you are crazy; and for the rest of you who see me everywhere and always with a different change of clothes; now you have your answer. If you continue to bombard me with questions, though, you might not like what you hear. Some of the best questions that I hesitate to answer are: Have you ever gone to class for each other? Do you pretend to be your sister when someone you don't want to speak to calls? Have you ever switched boyfriends? A quick summary of answers: of course, sometimes, and sure. If the guy is too stupid to figure out who is who before he asks one of us out on a date, he's got a problem. My mother, who is a fraternal twin, named us Sharlina, Sabrina, and Selina Sells for the sake of confusing the hell out 01 everyoody.

The Watauga Hunger Coalition and The Hospitality House of Boone along with poet Michele Dalton, put together an awesome show at the Holiday Inn that really showed the caring and concern of all who played, assisted and attended the event. "We are hoping to make it an an­ nual event once we work all the kinks out," Cindy McGuinn of the Hunger Coalition said. "All the groups were great," McGuinn said. "For one group (Life After Lunch) it was the first time they performed. I was really impressed with all the groups." Four bands donated their talent in­ cluding Life After Lunch, Curb Ser­ vice, The Alligators and The Outer Limits. Life After Lunch, in their debut performance, played progressive style originals. As the opening band, they set a perfect tempo for the evening and rounded out a successful first per­ formance. The Gators transformed the calm atmosphere of the Holiday Inn into that of a really swingin' blues joint. Their traditional blues took the crowd back to a different musical age. Curb Service rock and rolled the crowd with songs from rockers like ZZ Top and The Kinks as well as some original pieces. For those who stayed to hear The Outer Limits, it was like having their own personal band playing right in their living room. The band gave the remaining fans a performance beyond comparison- not holding back a bit of energy. Those who stayed to jam with them will not forget it. Michele Dalton, poet, organized the event for the organizations. "He is a concerned citizen and wanted to organize this event on our behalf," Mike Boone of the Hospitality House said. "He solicited over 60 items (for the silent auction) such as meals from area restaurants, shirts, etc. He also lined up the Holi­ day Inn and recruited the bands." "There was good food and plenty of drinks (non-alcoholic). The mayor was there and he presented the money raised to Mike Boone and myself," McGuinn said. Money for the Hunger Coalition and Hospitality House was raised from ticket and tee shirt sales, as well as the silent auction. A significant contribution to the organizations was $303. All volunteers, including members of the Delta Zeta sorority, were hospitable and supportive of the cause they were out to serve. If you missed the benefit never fear. Hopefully, they will be able to organize another one next year with the same fine caliber of musicians and staff.

As an jtuctor, he says he prefers classes Dr. Alan Hauser makes students feel right at home. that have approximately five to 15 students which allows better feed­ back. Working with students one-toone brings him satisfaction and a sense of pride when a student has learned or understood something from him. Unlike the stereotyped "work-and-rush" pro­ fessor, Hauser enjoys reading and other quiet pastimes. But an even more interesting aspect of his character, is the approach he takes to teaching and interacting with students. Early in his lite, Hauser lived in Chicago. His educational background is in the Lutheran school system. He worked on his Ph.D. in Old Testa­ ment Studies at the University of Iowa. After receiving his Ph.D., Hauser applied for work as a teacher in several places. One of those places was ASU. The university accepted his application, and he began to teach here in 1972. He worked hard and was appointed department chairman in 1982. After being at ASU for 16 years, Hauser has learned that being a teacher means being beneficial to other people. Hauser is content being a teacher, but he sometimes wishes that he had more opportunity for scholarly work. He still enjoys seeing excitement in student's eyes when he/she understands what he is talking about. Alan Hauser sees this as evidence that he is accomplishing something impor­ tant in the lives of others. Always on the move, he is one who enjoys life. More a friend than a teacher, he is not a professor to be feared. Peter Pan ntinued from Page 5 j his hand and a clock was iirkable. ASU student Paige Hunter Clayton jytdthe part of Wendy.

Tiger Lily was portrayed by Cathy Lion. She did a great job rousing up her Indians; they could be heard throughout Farthing without the aid of microphones. The sets were done in brights and pastels which lent a feeling of fantasy to the show. The flying characters were very impressive (I could tell by all the oohs and aahs I heard from the kids in the audience). From what I could see from the audience, they used harnesses and wires to fly the actors—1 was quite impressed myself. Most of the costumes, particularly the pirates and the Indians, were done in bright colors using mainly hot pink and turquoise; it was a very colorful show. The impressive sets, superb voices, and brilliant performances by the whole cast (there were at least 50 actors), all combined to make a fan­ tastic production. It's obvious there was a great deal of cooperation and community effort to create a produc­ tion of this magnitude. If the production run was not over, I would have highly recommended going to see Peter Pan. It was an enjoyable trip back to childhood and make-believe, and well worth the price of the tickets.

I have had an interesting life and an unusual one as well. Only one in every 650,000 births are identical triplet girls. Top that statistic. And if you ask Selina or Sharlina how they feel about being a triplet, they will prob­ ably tell you the same things I have. Mavhe in the exact same words.

For the first time in living memory, the Boston Bruins defeated the Montreal Canadians in a Stanley Cup playoff series. Maybe now the sporting public will have a chance to learn the names of a few players who do not play for the Edmonton Oilers. People know the name of a guy called Coffey, but the best defenseman in the NHL plays in Boston. From the Patrick Division, the New Jersey Devils have finally thrown the mantle of loser from their shoulders and now head for the Stanley Cup semi-finals. Hopefully, this will make New Jersey fans forget that the Nets also are from their state. Five of the Appalachian team members ended the season with batting averages of over .300. Senior first baseman Darron Healy led the team and the conference with a .462 average. Other "plus" .300 players were Scott Waugh, Tommy Green, Gary Chandler, and Keith Nail. rallied to score four more runs in the final inning to defeat the Appalachian squad by the score of 16-9.

After about 20 games too many, the National Basketball Association has finally started the play-offs. Why can't they end the season by April? For some reason, basketball and June do not go together. Early in the season, the Los Angeles Lakers looked invincible and ready to cruise to another championship. After a couple of injuries, the Lakers seem mortal and the Boston Celtics are just the team to beat mortals. Last year, the Celtics belonged in the hospital, not on the basketball court. This year, the men from Boston are healthy and hungry, ^he Lakers are going to i have toplay their best ball in order to be the first team to repeat since the, you guessed it, the Boston Celtics. As for the Chicago Jordanaires, they are about two years and two players away from being true contenders. Michael Jordan needs some players around him who are true scorers. The Bulls will cross the line to championship threat when Jordan has players to pass to, not just receive passes from. ****** Don't worry baseball fans, the Cleveland Indians will fall flat on their faces as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. The pitching of Greg Swindell may help the Indians lose less than 100 games, but in no way are the Indians contenders in the East. A note from the Baseball Com­ missioner's Office: The Atlanta Braves and the Baltimore Orioles have decided to combine their franchises and move to Denver. The new Denver Miners have traded Dale Murphy and Cal Ripkin to the Pittsburgh Pirates for players to be named later. The Miners will begin play on the triple A level next year. And in the end, there were the National League's outfielders. These are just opinions and as such, I am not to be held respon­ sible for my incredible hatred for the St. Louis Cardinals. Leftfleld- Tim Raines. This Montreal Expo may be the best player in the NL. As an out­ fielder, Raines has fantastic range and could play center, but his below-average arm makes him a better leftfielder. Raines makes his money at the plate. He is a 70-stolen-base man and a .330 hitter. If he were not isolated in Montreal, Raines would be one of the best known players in the world. Centerfield- Eric Davis. As far as potential goes, Davis is the most promising player to enter baseball since Mickey Mantle. Power, speed, and some of the best defense since Willie Mays combine to make Davis a premier player. However, if he cannot shake the injury bug, Davis may find himself second fiddle to a kid named Cal Daniels. Rightfield- Tony Gwynn. If there were any justice in the world, Gwynn would play in New York and have the nickname "The Hitman." Using only a 32-inch bat, Gwynn is carving a place in the baseball Hall of Fame. On just about any other team except the Padres, he would probably lead the league in RBI's. Gwynn is the forgotten player in the National League. Baltimore Orioles are not the only surprise so far Rv TUDIC PHILLIPS By CHRIS DUII T IDC Appalachian Staff Writer This year in baseball has been nothing less than extraordinary. The team that has received the most publicity is the chronicly losing Baltimore Orioles with their 0-forApril record which was finally-halted last Friday. The Orioles have definite­ ly taken the heat off the National League's version of losers, the Atlan­ ta Braves. They have only cashed in five victories. Put these two teams in the same division and there could be a tight race for the cellar. The pleasant surprises, and I mean surprises, have been the Cleveland In­ dians and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Imagine a World Series with these two perennial last place teams. The In­ dians' secret to success has been, believe it or not, pitching! Last year, the Indians' staff produced a 5.28 ERA, one of three teams to have a five plus ERA in 31 years. They are led (this year) by two aces, Greg Swindell and Tom Candiotti, who are 5-0 and 4-0, respectively. The Pirates, who had the third best record in the second half of '87 are surprising the Mets and Cardinals along with the rest of the free world. In the AL West, the Oakland A's, as expected, are building a nice lead. In the NL west the Houston Astros are surpris­ ing a few with a Vi game lead. The American League individual standouts are no surprise. Dave Winfield and Ricky Henderson are tearing up the league. Winfield who tied the April record for RBI's set by Don Baylor in 1979 is also second in home runs, first in slugging average, first in hits, and first in runs. Other stand­ outs include Jose Canseco, first in HR's, second in RBI's, and third in runs. Henry Cotto of Seattle is leading in hitting with .429. I guess Mr. Boggs is letting others see how it feels before he takes over. Other players starting hot are Joe Carter, Cleveland; Ellis Burks, Boston; and Mark Mcguire, Oakland. Pitching in the AL has it's usual standouts as well as its surprises. My favorite, Rocket Roger Clemens is 4-0 with 60 K's. Check out Dennis Eckersly with nine saves. Dave Stewart has fork-balled his way to 6-0, but his ERA is a little high. And this decade's biggest surprise is Frank Tannana at 5-0 in five starts. The AL's dominant pitcher in the mid- seventies who claimed "Give me one run and I'll win" has had mediocre seasons the last eight years (Except 15-10 in 87.) To top off this season's heart-stopping surprises, the Cleveland Indians are leading in team pitching. The senior circuit standouts include Gary Carter, New York; Bobby Bonilla, Pittsburgh; Darryl Strawberry, New York; and Glen Davis, Houston. Carter leads the league in homeruns. Bonilla is tied with Carter with seven and is third in RBI's. They are fifth and sixth in batting, respec­ tively. Strawberry is having a banner year, leading batting with .368 and in a four-way tie with seven homeruns Davis is fourth of the quad-leaders in homeruns and is the sole leader in RBI's. He is also ninth in batting. Pitching in the NL is dominated by Dwight Gooden. Dwight started put­ ting "stuff" on the ball, not up his nose, and the results have been awesome. Mike Scott is 4-0 and se­ cond to his awesome teammate Nolan Ryan in strikeouts. The Ryan Express just missed his sixth no-hitter last week by two outs. With that ac­ complishment at age 41, he might be playing until mandatory retirement age! To top off the NL, Orel Hershiner is 5-0 with an in-human ERA. This is the year of surprises, from Baltimore (1-23) to Oakland (Eckersly nine saves). The question remains, will Cleveland come back to earth and let the Red Sox and the Yankees fight it out. And most importantly, when will Billy Martin get fired? Ihe Reck family enjoys sporting fitness at Quinn Oftpn seen on a romilor Unnlr in the Often QPPfl nn Q regular basis In new fitness center is the Reck family. The family consists of Dr. Greg Reck, Professor of Anthropology and Assis­ tant Dean of the Graduate School, Dr. Mae Reck, Professor of Curriculm and Instruction, and Assistant Dean of the College of Education at Appalachian State University, and daughter Nicolya, who will be a junior at Watauga High School in the fall. They are a family who believes in physical fitness and works hard as a means of getting the result of looking and feeling good. Mae was asked how she got started in fitness and exercise, and she said that her daughter, Nicolya got her . started. She began three or four years ago working on the Nautilus machines at the Moutaineer Club. Then, in March of 1987, she started aerobics. Today, she concentrates on a one hour workout each day, either with a vigorous program of aerobic exercise or ride on the Lifecycle exer­ ciser. "The aerobic type of exercise helps me maintain my weight," Mae said. Nicolya participated in gymnastics from the ages of five to 12 and was on the State Gymnastics Team the last two years. She was the only freshman last year that played on the Watauga High School varsity tennis team and was voted the most improved player. She went to the state doubles tennis competition last year with her partner per body the next. Jennifer Coleman.

"I enjoy sports and remaining fitExercise helps relieve tension. In addi­ tion, it makes me feel better about myself being physically fit," Greg said.

The ASU Drug Policy Task Force is currently circulating a questionaire concerning drug and alcohol use. The survey was developed to ultimately benefit individuals with pro­ blems, and should therefore be filled out and returned. Through examination of survey results, the Task Force will be able to discover student's needs. In the future, some sort of rehabilitation program may be developed. Unfortunately, the new UNC drug policy does not allow financing to be directed toward rehabilitation programs. This policy is ridiculous. If a school in the UNC system has the finan­ cial means to do so, rehabilitation programs should be developed. How do university officials expect people to break these habits if they are not given any help? Rehabilitation programs could prevent UNC Drug policy violations. However, this would only work if the programs could be anonomously utilized by students. No one would utilize such programs if they result in automatic suspension or expulsion. The Drug Task Force should be commended for the diligent work in the development of the new drug policy. The UNC system as a whole; however, should re-evaluate their policy By CARTER W.

Administration promotes student apathy Boone disregards student opinions Tlie town of T?boh'e1tls "once' again passed a piece of legislation without student consideration and consent. The noise ordinance was passed during Easter break, and was im­ mediately enforced. Students received huge fines without prior warning. If the town had a problem with high noise levels, why was this not publically expressed before the ordinance was instated? Why are Boone citizens so blatantly opposed to students? One or two obnoxious individuals always represent the entire student body in the minds of Boone residents. On-campus students are not affected by the ordinance. Within reason and during visitation hours, these students can make quite a bit of noise without punishment. Why should off-campus students be the only ones reprimanded.? It is unfortunate that the town of Boone decides these issues during student breaks. The Beer in Boone referendum is another prime example of disregard for students. Elections were conveniently scheduled during spring break when students would not be in town. Fortunately, students took the time to participate in the voting pro­ cess. The same applies to this issue. Students need to stand up and be heard concerning this problem. BLOOM COUNTY itself, widespread apathy can be a valid response and can clearly reflect the issue in question. Example? Masses of apathetic students at ASU. ASU fulfills students' academic educational requirements, while ig­ noring many other important needs. This university lacks the hallmark of a great school—the interest and in­ volvement in students' lives that makes their experience at school more a memory of a learning experience than a four-(or five) year chore. Many students feel that they are working in spite of this university, rather than being helped by it. Cam­ pus security is one good reason for this... I saw a fellow student park her car right in from of the bank machine, leaving her emergency „ , . . flashers on, so she could withdraw some cash. In less that two minutes, she was slapped with a parking ticket. In cases of emergency or accident, campus security is not nearly so pro­ mpt. If they respond to a call at all, it is often too late. By definition, cam­ pus security should make our campus a safe place to be. This is certainly not the case. Perhaps it's because there's big bucks to be generated by ticketing cars during the day that inadequate security at night allows ASU students to be assaulted. Short-sighted Chancellor Thomas has elected to destroy a valuable piece of ASU history by destroying the Dougherty house. Apparently this will yield parking spaces for about one hundred cars.

ASU has made no known effort to assist its students with the problem the Town of Boone has created by enacting the new "noise ordinance." This action by the town is just short of flagrant harrassment by Boone against ASU students. The new or­ dinance reeks of "Double Standard" and "unequal enforcement," against ASU students. There would be no ASU without the students, yet the ad­ ministrators who represent us students are not directly affected by the new ordinance, so they have made no effort to help students combat a vague and unreasonable law. These are just a couple of examples of ASU's administrators being apathetic and unconcerned with its students. These administrators would like to blame the problem on lack of communication and student apathy. just starting to really hate Moonlighting. I hate Tennessee.

Alternatives to research exist To the Editor Recently a letter in your editorial column came to my attention. As a physician I would like to submit a "second opinion" on the issue of animal research. No sane human being wants to see other people suffer, and I would venture to say this view extends to animals, regardless of one's opinion of the ethics of animal research. For that reason, if for no other, the combined theory of replacement, reduction and refinement of the use of animals in research should be developed, encouraged and funded in our nation's research laboratories. These "alternatives" to the use of animals in laboratory practices fall into seven major categories: 1. Human studies. This includes clinical, epidemiological, postmortem and neomort investigations. Most substances known to cause cancer in humans have been identified by epidemiological studies, not animal tests. 2. In-vltro techniques. These are used to study tissues, cells or cellular components in laboratory con­ tainers. In-vitro techniques have been used in research on AIDS to isolate, identify and concentrate the AIDS virus and are now being used to screen drugs rapidly for antiAIDS virus activity. 3. Mathematical models. These are used to describe a biological system in mathematical terms to predict novel features. A mathematical model has been designed as a potential replacement for the animal-based LD50 test, which estimates the dose of a substance needed to kill 50 percent of the test animals. 4. Instrument and chemical techniques. These use instruments and chemical procedures to analyze the physical and chemical properties of drugs, body chemicals and other compounds instead of exploiting animals. Kits of simple materials and chemicals have replaced rabbits in diagnosing pregnancy. 5. Clinical studies. Information obtained in clinicai case studies can be used instead of recreating medical problems in healthy animals in laboratories. ' 6. Mechanical models. These are used in car-crash studies, head injury simulations, etc. Mannequins can simulate appearance and response of humans or animals. "Resusci-Dog," a canine manne­ quin, teaches veterinarian students cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Cur­ rently being used at the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine, it has replaced 100 dogs a year in that institution and cost only $1,200 as opposed to over $3,000 per year for animals. Computer simulations reproduce dissections, metabolic functions and drug responses, etc. The University of Texas uses com­ puters to demonstrate a dog's car­ diovascular regulation, digestive system and drug responses. 7. Education. Alternatives to the 70 million animals used in researc in the United States alone can play a major role in education. The Britis system of apprenticeship in training surgeons can replace the American system of practicing surgery on healthy animals. The evidence of the importance of human studies is supported by an analysis of Nobel prizes awarded in medicine and physiology. Seventytwo prizes have been awarded from 1901, the year the prizes were initiated, through 1985. Thirty-one percent involved human studies to some degree, including 14 percent that were wholly or primarily con- See ALTERNATIVES PaRe 13 �I 13 J 2 & A P P A A ' . ,U E S D A Y . M AY S .

By the time ASU loses the parkins spaces for the new building construc­ tion, it will gain approximately 100 parking places on the site of the Dougherty House and regain those parking places lost to the construction of the IET addition. "The building (when finished] won't actually have much direct impact on parking. What it will do is put a lot more people on that side of campus, and in that sense it will create parking problems. Some student parking may be taken over by faculty," Dean of the College of Business Dr. Paul Combs said. As a part of the construction, Howard Street will be extended from the curve on the north side of Chapell Wilson to the corner of Howard and Appalachian Streets. Eventually, this will be a two-lane street with a sidewalk and parking on one side. "Just as soon as the College of Business moves to the new building, we have plans to move other depart­ ments over to Walker. Although nothing definite has been arranged so far, some of the arts and sciences will probably be moved into Walker, since Rankin Science building is so over­ crowded," Bordeaux said. The new building will include much that the current building lacks. It will also relieve the overcrowding and bring all of Appalachian's business programs under one roof. The bottom floor will be the mechanical room, and the second floor, will have an area called the See CONSTRUCTION Page 2 The four-story $10 million building should be completed by 1990.

All public water systems : required to publish such notifica>n even if there is no evidence of d contamination aflU if drinking Icr meets Environmental Protecn Agency standards. Annual spot checks and tests the system show Apiachian's water to be within all idelines for lead contamination, IBJkoughout Supervisor of the university's water plant Mike Isenhour said. The last test was completed March 30. To con­ trol corrosion, which can cause lead from soldered pipe joints to dissolve, water plant techniques keep pH levels around 7.5. Isenhour said the plant ran 4 addi­ tional tests in March to be sure the water was not contaminated. They chose 4 different water fountains on campus and found the level of lead to be less than .02 milligrams per liter. The legal limit is .03. He added that the plant will now be doing more than one test each year and will test other areas on campus this summer to further insure student safety. Lead accumulates in the body front three potential sources. The major source is food, followed by air and drinking water.

Shelley Kaehr will be returning as Editor-in-Chief for The Appalachian. She says the knowledge and ex­ perience she has gained in such a posi­ tion is invaluable.

Even water treated to reduce corrosion can dissolve traces of lead. The American Water Works Association recommends running, lap water for two to three minute, in (he morning or when the system hasn't been used for several hours to clear standing water from lines.

A Wmotc student was assaulted Saturday night at 11:22 p.m in (lie Stadium Parking lot. The stiu ct. was approached by a white male with brown hair and a mustache, height approximately 5'9", of slender build, and wearing all white. The assailant was carrying a gun and asked the student for money. She wrestled the gun away from him and he ran away. The student received eight stit- suli o f cites on lite hand as a retrieving the gun. Chief Investigator of Security Paul Isaacs said a policeman viewed the suspect running down Kings Street toward the IF.T building. He had stopped to talk with two students, one male and one female. Security requests that these students come forth with any information they can provide on the suspect. Students urged to fill out surveys Program is rescheduled By PAULA DICKINSON Vwalacttal Staff Writer A Substance Abuse Program scheduled for this week had to be cancelled due to an illness of guest speaker Thomas Murray. The program, sponsored by Stu­ dent Affairs Development office, was designed to encourage everyone in the university community to be aware of the dangers of substance abuse and how to recognize the problem in themselves, a family member, or a friend. BAACHUS and the Universi­ ty Committee for a Drug Free Cam­ pus are also supporting this program. Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Stu­ dent Affairs Barbara Daye said if Murray had been able to come, Stu­ dent Affairs planned to have those at­ tending evaluate what he discussed. "There was a lot we were hoping to find out, like if the audience thought the program was helpful," Daye said. Letters have been placed in students' mailboxes from Daye en­ couraging them to participate in surveys pertaining to alcohol abuse. Daye urges students to complete the surveys and to be candid in their answers. "We need to know what the situa­ tion is so that we can offer the right programs," she said. Some students may feel that such programs are beneficial but actually getting students to attend proposes problems. "I think programs like this are good, but the problem is getting the people that need the information the most to attend," Junior April Dunham said. Daye says this topic was one of a number of other topics being address­ ed at ASU. Earlier this year Student Affairs sponsored a lecture called "AIDS and Other Transmitted Diseases," to promote more awareness of the existing problem of AIDS. "I feel that the more you know, the better off you are." Daye said. Daye conveyed her apologies to anyone who planned to attend the cancelled substance abuse program this week. She added that Student Af­ fairs does not plan to reschedule the program this spring, but hopes to hold it next fall semester.

"(Although) we don't have anymore problems with students than with other accounts," Assistant VicePresident at First Union Debbie Ragsdale said. Ragsdale said for the first time First Union has had more problems with forged checks and stolen checks than in past years. First Union feels the best way to guard against students having checks stolen is not to be obvious about where one keeps his checks and money card. Teller supervisor of the First Union campus branch Sandra Bryan warns against lending friends your automatic teller card. We can protect (students) and the "We can protect (students) and the bank by requiring identification." —Debbie Ragsdale, Asst. Vice-President at First Union bank by requiring identification," Ragsdale said. First Union does not i excessive amount of bad checks, but when they do it cost the individual $15 for each check. "We do take legal action on any loss we do sustain," Ragsdale said. "We do a lot of loss prevention seminars with our employees." In a 90-minute period the campus branch of First Union cashes approx­ imately 90 checks. Over half of ASU students use the campus branch of First Union to make transactions and deposits. The bank opens between 200 and 300 new accounts during freshman orientation at Appalachian each year. Students find First Union convenient and during the summer are able to use branches in their home town while still keeping an account at ASU.

Sales offer real buried treasure Rummage sales. Are these foreign words in , your vocabulary? I It may sound tacky to some jjjs, but these events are a vir, tual treasure hunt for the sharp- ; eyed buyer. I use to think rummage sales : were garbage-can-leftovers or ij stuff even the Goodwill didn't ( want. I had this vision of nattyi haired sleezes, right out of a | Twisted Sister video, buying » Harley Davidson belt buckles and used underwear. I couldn't have been farther from the truth. I went to the Junior League « Annual Rummage Sale in ; Winston-Salem this past weekend and it was a major event. There were hundreds of people just waiting to get through the coli iseum doors like it was Mecca or a something. They came armed i with baby carriages just to hold all their loot. As I got swept into the crowd this euphoric feeling hit me, kind of like a WASP at 1 Bloomingdales. "Yes I will buy everything in sight," I thought. "After all it ; only costs a quarter." 'rf 1 There was everything you could || imaging there from cocktail dresses to yes, even used underwear. Even nice stuff like t Lizwear dress pants, Polo sweats, even nifty 50's style dresses and hats. I'm not an innovative I dresser, but at a few dollars an outfit, even I could dress like Molly Ringwald and have the adoration of millions. There were also some crazy elephant prints done by a guy I swear will be the next Andy Warhol. I would have bought one, a steal at ten bucks, for investmfent purposes. But, you know the college budget and all. I can't even afford Cool Whip for my jello. It's good for the nails you know. The jello not the Cool Whip stupid. Another great thing about rumi mage sales is the comraderie. It's : not like a Belk's super-terrific-allday-sale. The kind you would run over your dog for. People often hand you stuff saying, "That ! would do marvelous things for your eyes, honey." It's more than most sales clerks I would do and besides it's heart fdt. Some of the ladies have been waiting all year for the annual event and can't wait to act like i everyone's favorite fashion coni sultant. They usually wait pa­ tiently for you to finish looking over the merchandise in your hands but occassionally tempers do flare. At two dollars for a skirt though, you can afford to he generous or lose a hand in the Process. It almost seems like a social club. As long as you know 'he rules, you're fine but one step 0u' of line and BOOM that lady who looks like Flo on Alice has gotten your toe with her spiked heel and nabbed that cool 60's s'riped shirt you were going to use to sleep in. There were also items like antilues, cars, trailers and motor­ cycles but hey, with only $15 to spend they were out of my eague. I did manage to pick up a ew prints, pants and even a hat.

Pershing Rifles win the top gun By VIRGINIA THOMPSON Spedal to the Appalachian The Reserve Officers Training Corp Drill Team, Pershing Rifles, travelled to the University of Maryland to compete in the National Capital Invitational Drill Meet on Saturday, April 23. The Pershing Rifles Drill Team, and advisors, left Boone at 6 a.m. Fri­ day bound for the University of Maryland and the National Capital Invitational Drill Meet. Upon arriving at College Park, Maryland, the drill team checked into the Holiday Inn off Greenbelt Road and practiced for two hours before the commanders went to the commander's cacus. Friday night the team cleaned and repaired the 1903 Springfield rifles used in com­ petition and checked uniforms for Saturday's competition. At 4:30 a.m. Saturday with a, wakeup call the team was up and run­ ning. After a quick breakfast at McDonalds the team arrived at the University of Maryland for the 8 a.m. opening ceremony. ROTC teams from Pennsylvania State Airforce, Pensylavnia State Navy, Norwich, Villanova, Rutgers, Ohio State, Eastern Carolina State University, and Appalachian State participated in the drill meet. ASU's first team to compete in the competition was regulation squad A commanded by PR Capt. Beth McPherson. This team's command performance was followed by regula­ tions squad B commanded by PR SgtM David Durham. Before com­ peting on the drill floor each regula­ tion team was inspected by personnel from one of the following; the Air Force Honor Guard, Navy Presiden­ tial Drill Team, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Army Old Guard, and the U.S. Marine Corp. Regulation drill is basic facing and weapon movements used in the Armed Ser­ vices. Regulation Squad B Finished with a first place win and regulation squad A Finished with second place out of 15 competing teams. The next event in the competition was regulation platoon. There were 13 teams in this event. ASU's Pershing Rifles Drill team's regulation platoon commanded by PR Capt. Bill Jeffer­ son was the seventh team to be in­ spected and to drill. The routine lasted 12 minutes and won a first place with a score of 98.89 out of a possible 100. This event was followed by Regula­ tion Individual Knockout (IDR) in which ASU did not place. Following the IDR competition the Marine Corp Silent Drill teana performed in an ex­ hibition show. The afternoon competition was fancy exhibition of trick drill for pla­ toon, squad, and duet teams. ASU entered two squads, duets, and one platoon. These events were judged by members of the Air Force Honor Guard, The Presidential Naval Drill team, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corp and the Army's Old Guard. The first ASU team to compete in the afternoon was the exhibition squad A commanded by PR Capt. Diana Johnson. The routine lasted six minutes and contained a mock inspec­ tion and several throwing and spin­ ning sequences for the weapons. The team placed fourth. Exhibition squad B commanded by PR Capt. David Williams also con­ tained a mock inspection and several throw!-- and spinning sequences. Both squads had a sequence in which the commander walked between team members throwing the rifles. The B squad Haced third out of 17 teams. In the exhibition duet competition ASU entered two teams. Duet A members were Randy Gunter and David Sink. Duet B membes were Jon Roark and Greg Jicha. The duets did not place. The last competition in the drill meet was fancy platoon. ASU's fancy platoon was commanded by PR LtC Greg Jicha. The team's routine lasted 12 minutes and contained throws, spins and squad movements. The pla­ toon did not place in the top three, however, the routine did help in the accumulation of points for the overall trophy competition. The awards ceremony started at 5 p.m. following an exhibition perfor­ mance by the University Maryland's Air Force ROTC Fancy Team. ASU won 3rd place exhibition, squad, 2nd place regulation squad, 1st place regulation squad, 1st place regulation platoon, 1st place overall and the National Invitational Drill Meet Rotating Cup. The ceremony was followed by a picnic sponsored by Norwich Univer­ sity. After the picnic the ASU team returned to the Holiday Inn for a vic­ tory party. On Sunday the team toured the Washington, D.C., area. They visited the Vietnam memorial, Arlington Na­ tional Cemetary, and saw the chang­ ing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The squad walked past the Lincoln Memorial on the way to the Vietnam Memorial.

Spring Fest has local musi, Appalachian Staff Writer Are final exams getting you down? Do the words study, homework, and papers make you grimace? Let the Watauga Spring Festival take you away from the grind for a few hours. This year marks the fifteenth suc­ cessful presentation of mountain crafts good food, local music and musicians, good food, public organizations, good food, and even a back rub by a masseuse. "It all began with Pat Morgan in the political science department at ASU. He developed the idea of a festival with elements of Watauga County crafts and traditions," Assis­ tant Director of the Center for Appalachian Studies, Gene Hyde, said. "The center coordinates the festival but it's the combined effort of the town, county, and ASU that make it possible. It's unique because it's the only thing all three do together." The festival hosts 195 different groups this year which include a varie­ ty of entertaining booths displaying the skills and traditions of the moun­ tain people. In the booths you'll find: pottery, handmade rugs, quilts, weaving, woodwork, handmade jewelry, handmade toys, cross stitch, Chinese linens and more. Hyde recommended as you look around to be thinking about the upcoming Mother's day and how nice a hand made gift would be. Prices start as low as a couple of dollars and go up to two hundred or more. By APRIL GRIFFIN Et Court E4ttor Someday I will write of Winter and it will be Poetry The leaves are changing colors again but I don't have you to paint my world. Seems like I should hide from the leaves— falling on my head and break­ ing my concentration. It took so much effort to think the thoughts It took so much work to write the words you heard. I became tired of seeing orange and red and saying they were burnished gold and burgandy just so you would smile. Your smile inspired, and your frown almost dissolved my spirit into smoke like the steam rose from the concrete months ago, after a rain. I feared I would vanish with it in the heat If you disapproved. Now the leaves are changing again. What you named beauty is fall­ ing away and soon the snow will only be cold enough to touch. By Beth Hughes —used with permission from the Cold Mountain Review Does this sound like a literary great? It might one day if ASU senior Beth Hughes has her way. Hughes, 'tr psychology major with a mihor in English, has been writing poetry since she was 10 years old. Her first poem was on the bicentennial and since then has evolved into writing about things that stir the emotions like love, seasons and pain. Hughes has been published in the Cold Mountain Review for the past four years and nabbed this years Quality Living Award for her excellence in poetry. The Quality Living Award is spon­ sored by the Quality Living magazine based in Valle Crucis. "It's my only hobby," Hughes said. "Everyone is creative in a cer­ tain way. Painters paint. I'ts just my outlet for creativity." Hughes, who also serves as The Rhododendron's Managing Editor, uses poetry to balance out her moods. Her goal is to affect people. "My aim is to get people to feel," she said. "It doesn't have to be what I put in but just feeling. The ultimate compliment is for someone to say they have been there or felt that way." She also likes to incorporate art into her poetry. "I use lots of analogies with art," Hughes said. "I respect it (art) so much. A friend once told me I paint with words." Hughes has enjoyed her work with the Cold Mountain Review and wishes other students would take advantage of the writing opportunity. "The Cold Mountain Review has been overlooked," she said. "I feel like a lot of students don't know or care about it. They feel that it's artsy or fake and don't take the time to appreciate it." "My aim is to gel people to feel. It doesn't have to be what I put in but just feeling. The ultimate compliment is for someone to say they have been there or felt that way." —Beth Hughes She will be graduating in May, but she can't seem to get Boone out of her blood.

But, she still plans on writing poetry. "I would really like to one day be anthologized or have a book of my own poetry," she said. See PERSHING Page 5 Appalachian By MICKI SALTZ Student poet has diverse talents Entertainment is provided con­ tinuously throughout the day. Here are a few of the groups that will be appearing: the Daniel Boone Cloggers, a rock-n-roll and oldies band called Runaway, the Janitors—a con­ temporary gospel group, Mary Greene—a local musician, Joe Shan­ non from ASU playing dulcimer, Watauga High School String Quartet, and the list goes on. "It's always fun," Hyde said. "No matter what your interests are, you'll find it at the festival." Not only does the festival provide diversion and fun but you can learn something from it also. In the crafts you see the way people used to live and the way some still do. It makes you realize how self-sufficient they Appalachian Photo by Jonet Hotfoor Beth H"»hes—a poet at work. and crafts were and independent in their way of living. Public service organizations will be represented at the festival giving you a chance to find out what they're all about or if interested how you can join. Some organizations that will be there are: Sierra Club, American Friend Service, Boone Civitan Organization, Watauga County Humane Society, Watauga Democrat Party, many churches, the Hospitality House, Watauga Board of Education and more. Stop by and ask them ques­ tions. They welcome the chance to let you in on what's going on. "We probably have more people than we actually have room for," Hyde said. "Not only do we have people from Watauga County but now otner people from different cities in North Carolina come, and at least Five to six other states will be here as well. It's a lot of fun." Food of your childhood days that will suit the pickiest tastebuds will be available. Tantalizing barbeque, thirst-quenching lemonade, buttery popcorn, sticky cotton candy, salty peanuts, delicious funnel cakes, pizza, hot dogs, home made fudge and on, and on, and on. Interested? The festival will be held in the Broome-Kirk and Varsity gyms and is free to the public.

APRII 28. 1988 DIVERSIONS Ashley McAdoo Lynyrd Skynyrd is what you want By AQUALUNG Adventure at the App house I had a really great weekend. No, I had a super weekend. No! actually (to quote a friend of mine) I had the Dad weekend. I bet you spent your weekend l,cre in Boone, didn't you? Not that there's anything wrong with ihat, I heard that Yofest was a lot of fun despite the rain. I visited a capital city over the weekend. The Capital, to be exact. You know, Washington, D.C. It started Thursday afternoon when the five of us; Patrice, Ti, I Mike, Amanda, and I all piled I into Patrice's car. The drive up there was pretty long, and the radio stations (acceptable radio stations, that is) faded out just over the Virginia line and didn't fade back in for, well, over an hour. We amused ourselves with our directions, though—"Take Highway 81 from Interstate 77. Stay on 81 for a long time." Really, that's what it said. A long time turned out to be a seriously long time, much longer than quite a while. After what seemed close to an I eternity, we arrived at the App House, unpacked and got ready to go out. The other people stay­ ing there seemed vaguely puzzled when we arrived, as if they ' Nifen't sure what App students were doing there. I guess it being Thursday night was what threw them. We headed out in search of Something Cool To Do. We found it, too. We paused outside this bar I called The Hawk and Dove. After a check of the other bars, we went in. We were all old enough to order at least beer. But for some of us (like me), drinking a beer in a public place was a neew experience, and I felt a little guilty ordering one, even though i had the ID for it. The waiter was real helpful, though, he offered to bring us a pitcher of beer. So we let him. Then he brought us another one. We rang up an $18 bar bill in like an hour or so. Gulpl Lesson number one. Drinking in Washington is expensive. I don't want you to think all *e did in Washington was drink. After we left the Hawk and Dove, we walked by the Supreme Court. It was the neatest feeling. There was no one around (or so we thought, but that comes a Ut­ ile later.) We ran up the stairs at 'he Supreme Court, then over to check out the Capitol. Amanda end Patrice got a little carried a*ay and ran up the roped-off stairs at the Capitol, and a securi'y guard had to tell them to get down, (I was so sure they were JMing to get in loads of trouble, hut they didn't). Finally, we headed back full of plans for tomorrow. We got up at 8:30 the next "iorning to get an early start. We sPht into two groups and decided to "teet at the Washington Monument later that afternoon. Patrice and I walked around in search of somewhere to buy Film. Washington is different from hew York in that New York to be nothing but corner stores, and in Washington it took us a half hour or so to find a tontera store.

For 10 years, after the deaths of singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines, Skynyrd members loated around doing their own pro­ jects. Finally, they got into something redly worthwhile in the form of a tribute tour. They sound better than ever. 1 had mixed feelings about Johnny Van Zant taking the place of Ronnie. It seemed like someone replacing John Bonham as drummer for Led Zeppelin. Hearing Johnny erased all my doubts. He's a damn good vocalist. The majority of the band is made up of original members. Gary Rossington, Ed King, Billy Powell, Leon Wilkeson and Artimus Pyle are a few of the returning members. Allen Collins (guitar) was replaced by Randall Hall, longtime friend of the band, after Collins was disabled in a car accident. The immortal atcynyrd songs com­ prise the album. Tunes go as far back as " "Workin' For !Tl\_rV ttllU 4 yji MCA" "Gimme Back My Bullets" to the 1977 release, "Comin' Home."

PRATHER Appalachian Staff Writer "Stop me if you've heard this one before." — The Smiths Oh my goodness, the final stretch is gaining on usl "So much has already been said with so much more yet to say while so little hasn't been said by those whose opinions aren't worth saying and nothing that's going to be said hasn't been said better before by someone who hasn't said anything worth saying in years," someone once said. Huh? As a kid, I was such a snothead. I just knew that I was better than everybody else, but I needed to prove it to them (and myself). I needed to have an attitude. I really wanted one; all the other kids had attitudes. So why couldn't I? Well, I eventually found my attitude and boy was I happy. I found it in music. Back in my urchin days, music never played as an important a role in my life as it does now. In fact, I was the only kid in junior high who didn't know the words to Blondie's "Rapture." It was quite a shame, but as I got older I started to experiment with a variety of different types of music; everything from heavy metal to heavy metal. Suddenly, one day, I discovered punk rock. Suddenly, everything made sense. Suddenly, I had my attitude. It, however, would be suddenly squashed. I came to college with a major chip on my shoulder because 1 was a punk. Here I was, still calling the B.I.. "The Bavarian Inn," actually thinking I had all the answers to all of the ques­ tions. The only real reason I figured I was here was to make my parents happy and postpone the inevitable "regular job" that was ASU's alter­ native. My attitude brought some new acquaintances, but it mostly put a comfortable wall around me from "would be friends." Someone tabled it "a snobby alternative attitude." Back then I thought it was a nifty title, but later I realized it referred to my outlook on life. The worst part was that she was right. You see, I knew I was still better than anyone else and naturally the music I liked was far better than whatever you listened to (unless you listened to tunes I liked) because I was such a superior person. Despite that I knew my attitude was resulting in a major ego, I really didn't care. Some reasons for this attitude are tne following: I came from a big city. I listened to punk rock. I read Siddhartha. I went to Live Aid. I've seen the Ramones twice. I met Jello Biaffra at a really chic party. I was cool. I was a trendsetter. I was hip. I was a punk. Hear me roar. I was pompus. I was a freshman. I was an idiot. I was a freshman. I was self-absorbed. I was a freshman. Hear me belch (hey, I was a freshman). In retrospect, the reality about my musical range and my first year at ASU can be summed up by one rotten evening at a dance club I got dragged to. A neat song by a band called The Cure came on, and someone (either Mimmi or Alexis) asked what I thought of Robert Smith. If I had been honest I would have admitted that I didn't even know who Robert Smith was and, if asked, couldn't even tell the difference between him and Emanuel Lewis. Instead of admitting that I was a braindead poser, I just said I thought that Roger was "innovative." "His name is Robert." Oh, now I was in trouble. How would I get out of this one? Now someone would know that my musical range went about as far as Judd Nelson's acting ability. I had to think quick. "Well, er, sure I know that. You see, I'm dyslexic!!" I doubt that fellow dyslexics like Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, or Bruce Jenner (plus Rockefeller and Patton) ever used dyslexia as a scapegoat (with possible exception of Bruca Jenner, who might have used it as the excuse for why he did "that movie with The Village People"). Give me a break, I was desperate. When she made her response I learned three things about me. "Oh, gosh. I'm sorry." The first was how much I hated the word "gosh." And the second was that I had a lot to learn about music. The third tied in with the second; I had a lot to learn about life. In short, I didn't have all of the answers. When I did start to let others influence my musical horizons, I began letting my mind become more open to otheT schools of thought other than my own. I am still very protective about "my" music, and I'm still very critical towards things I dislike or sometimes don't really understand. After all, a favorite See MINDS Page 8 isn't a rock star By PALMER C. WILLIAMS JR. AlpilliMli Huff Writer If you haven't read C.W.

For those of you who may not know the differences between The Cure's Robert Smith and T.V.'s little darl­ ing, Emanuel Lewis, here's an easy 10-point check list: 1—Emanuel is on a T.V. show called Webster. 2—Robert doesn't know anyone named Webster. 3—Emanuel likes to dance with his buddy, Michael Jackson. 4—Robert doesn't dance, but he does think Michael Jackson would look groovy in the out­ fit Cher wears in her video. 5—Emanuel sings like Pebbles Flintstone. See ROCK STARS Page 9 Portrait of Amy Funderburk Well call it WHLL Life in Radio Hell I really didn't start to paint portraits per se until I tried to do a portrait of me, my room­ mate Naomi and our friends Vicky and Mealie. It also was done from photographs and was a surprise. Now it's a hideous thing and I want to get rid of it; it's trash (laughs). That got me started on it and (ASU art professor) Warren Dennis encouraged me to try painting from a live model so I got Mealie to pose for me and just took it from there. The only other thing I've done is landscapes because I've taken the sum­ mer landscape workshop for the past two summers. Land­ scapes are a diversion for me while portraits are my forte. By JAMIE McLENDON Appatachlaii Suff Writer Continuing in my series of senior Art Expo winners, this week features portrait painter Amy Funderburk. The uniqueness of her portraits lies in the way they reflect the whole per­ son instead of merely presenting a visual image. Whereas some portraits feature flat subjects with painted smiles, Funderburks's works breathe with life and energy. One reason for this might be due to the fact that Funderburk insists on live models, rejecting photographs. Funderburk has won an Art Expo award in her class two years in a row and paints portraits on commission. JMcL: What Influences do you have in art? Who has Influenced your work? AF: In general, most impres­ sionists and postimpressionists. Primarily Monet's color, Van Gogh's line and brush strokes and Cezanne's sense of form. As far as portrait painting goes, I saw the film on Alice Neal that we have in the library, and she really got me going on it and influenced the style that I began with. Later, I got turned on to Philip Pearlstein also, and he just drives me crazy—I love what he does with shadows, and his moods are great. JMcL: Tell me a little about your background in art... »p. |'ve been doing art basically all of my life. I always liked it. When I was 14, I got a paint set for Christmas and I started painting. I painted dopey stuff (laughs). When I really got serious about art, it was in Amy Funkerburk JMcL: How do you feel about win­ ning Expo? AF: high school and I was trying to compete to be good. My teacher was a stickler and she told me to keep at it. She real­ ly gave me an incentive and I guess that's why I have the sense of great determination to always get better. After I got to college, I don't think I really developed that much of a style until 1 got into portraits. I really just delved into one subject. I started out with a portrait of Jimmy Page in '85. It was from a bunch of photographs and took a long time to do. It looks kind of dopey now. It was my personal project one summer. I had always been interested in drawing people and a girl taught me how in high school. Art Expo for me is like an encouragement. It's like showing me that what I've strived for so far has been good; it's realization of my determination and encourages me to work even harder in the future. The money has already been spent. I'm breaking even with money I spent in New York over Easter. It's more the recogni­ tion of my work that makes me happy. The money cer­ tainly doesn't hurt though. JMcL: What are your plans for the future? AF: I'm not going into graphic design as my major dictates; I'm going to paint portraits.

PRATHER Sun Writer The Conclusion If you've just joined us on this third part of my "RADIO HELL saga," then I'm real sorry. I will, however, try to explain what you've missed so far. This is the semifictitious tale of a college radio sta­ tion, WHLL, that I was reminded of while scanning over a scrapbook with my cat, Sid, one night I couldn't sleep. The people, places and events in this saga might or might not have really existed. Who is to say? Often, people look for meanings where there are none. Don't worry, when I want to get on a soapbox I'll tell you. Right now, let me get you caught up on the story so far. For the longest time WHLL played only annoying Top 40 music. While everyone complained and complained about WHLL, no one was willing to try to make the change. Some ambitious and creative students start­ ed to work for WHLL with a goal in mind; "change that format!" Well, someone did decide to go for the pro­ gramming position. When she did get the job, she informed the other WHLL directors that in the fall, WHLL would now call themselves RADIO HELL and would also start to play A.O.R. and Progressive music. In other words, music fitting a college radio station. Her name was Samantha. Knowing the job was real­ ly too much for one person, Sam asked Doug to help her with the pro­ gramming responsibilities. Later, he also helped out Elvis (the incoming WHLL News Director) over that sum­ mer to make a smooth transition from one format to the next. That summer of 1987 in College Town was one of the best times in Doug's life. Then, things started to unravel. When the "All New RADIO HELL" got started in the fall, Doug and Samantha discovered that over the summer they had grown different­ ly. They found themselves fighting oveT petty stuff that often didn't have anything to do with WHLL's business. Despite these constant wars, WHLL had never sounded any better. People were actually enjoying listen­ ing to the station; having no clue of the conflicts that were taking place within. Sam and Doug eventually cooled their battles down and things began to work as they should. However, before Sam (or even Doug, for that matter) knew it Doug had become the sole influence of the music that was being formatted for WHLL. When Doug realized it, he thought it was pretty darn neat. When Samantha later realized what had happened, it naturally upset her. After all SHE was The Program Director, not him. And so, another topic for another war showed its face. They were able to work things out (again), but the already present tension was increased, h was only a matter of time before all things fell apart and maybe then they wouldn't See RADIO HELL Page 10 �THE APPALACHIAN.

Spotlight on Burning Giraffe tv UAIIMADIIC rnr By BARNABUS FIGG From past experienes, I knew conventional "interviews" did not work too well with the band's members. (They refuse to answer the cliched question, "So, who do you think you sound like?"—im­ agine that.) So I thought long and hard how to best do an unconven­ tional interview for an unconven­ tional band. Then it hit me (as I was Hipping through the pages of Graffiti Magazine) that a neat idea would be to do "Word Associa­ tion." Appalachian Staff Writer So you say you are weary of "the same old, tired, cliched col­ lege band?" You say you are ready for something truly diverse and original in your brand of collegegroup. Well, if a unique style and sound is what you are looking for then look no further than Burning Giraffe. The seven member ensemble that compose Burning Giraffe have been together, in one form or another, for about a year. They are: Jimmy Hester, Matt Hatch, Leigh Woody, Ellen Everette, An­ dy Hissett, Ken Jones, and James Miller. Whew.

I don't know, it's hard to describe, it was just the neatest feeling, walking along. We stopped off at the Na­ tional Gallery of Art and looked at this stuff that used to belong to the Swedish royal family in the 1600's. It sounds kind of strange, but it was really cool. The Gallery was free, too. Everything we did was free, I guess that made up for the bars. That afternoon we went to the Zoo. That was my favorite part. We saw the giant panda, and that bear was the cutest thing in the world. It had just been fed, and it was eating all this bamboo. It looked like you could just go up and pet it and it wouldn't mind. We also saw the seals and sea lions and things, and the cats and my favorite animals, the wolves. Don't ask me why the wolves are my favorites, they just are. That night we went to a different bar and if you thought the first one was expensive—we could've had a small party for 20 of our closest friends for what we shelled out at the second one. Saturday we went to the cemetery in Arlington. We saw the changing <of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the flame bur­ ning where JFK is buried and both were—well, it's hard to describe. I guess "impressive" would work. We also saw the White House, and then got hopelessly turned around trying to find the nearest metro station. I don't think my feet have ever hurt quite that much before. Ever. On Sunday, we realized we had to come back to the real world. We were all sad, but I guess it was for the best, though 'cause basically we were all broke. It was a really neat trip though, I'm glad I went, and if you ever get a chance to go to the App House, take advantage of it! It's dirt cheap and a great ex­ perience. I'd BYOB, though.

By J SHAVER Appalachian Columnist I heard Michael Jackson is looking for a surrogate mother to bear his child. Right. Something to keep his monkey company. He wants to pay some woman he doesn't know two million dollars to have a baby for him. I don't think she even gets to meet him. Weird; weird, weirder, weirdest. Just when you think Captain Eo has hit rock bottom, he always comes up with something more bizzare. After all, what can you say about a black man who wants to be a white woman? Or at least that's where he's been heading for about eight years now Ashley, my beloved editor, is con­ vinced Michael and Janet Jackson are the same person, a sort of Dr. Jeckyl/Sister Hyde thing from all those female hormones he's rumored to take to stave off puberty and a voice change. But I doubt he'd want to be Janet; she doesn't look like a poster child for anorexia nervosa and worse than that, SHE's still black. About those hormone rumors; that's exactly the kind of National Enquirer crapola that I never believe about celebrities. Except about Mikey. I really do believe the guy's on heavy estrogen, because every other ignorant rumor I've ever heard about him has turned out to be true. Elephant Man's bones? Oxygen chamber. They sound too retarded to be true, yet they always are. I never have heard whether or not he really pro­ posed to Liz Taylor; if anything, that sounds awful tame for the prince of prance. And these days, he looks three weeks dead. He could play one of the zombies from his Thriller video. This latest album of his is another thing. If someone would have told me a year ago that he was going to come out with an album called BAD, the title track of which was a song about what a tough street thug he was... Cue the laugh track. Back on the planet Earth, I try to control my nausea. And in his video, "The Way You Make Me Feel," what the heck is he doing? Ladies, picture this; you're walking down the street of a slummy neighborhood in a tight black mini, looking really smashing. This little skeletal guy of indeterminate race comes up to you wearing lots of makeup. He starts following you, singing about what he'd like to do to you and hiking his pelvis at you. Following him closely are about ten of his thugish friends. Question, do you playfully walk slowly, forcing him to pursue you and ending up dancing with him, or do you run like hell, screaming rape at the top of your lungs? I think I would run. And I weigh well over double what Mikey does. He's just plain bizzare. Why is he so ashamed of being black? I'd be ashamed of my attitude, if I was him. I'm already white; it's not all that special. He keeps resembling Howard Hughes more and more. The biggest looney in America, also one of the richest. Where does it end? Earth calling Captain Eo; Earth calling Captain Eo... Ridiculous. ( 1) — Skynyrd Continued from Page 7 An excellent version of "Sweet Home Alabama" introduced with a guitar version of "Dixie" is embed­ ded in the vinyl. This southern stan­ dard features Donnie Van Zant of .38 Special and Charlie Daniels as guest vocalists. "Call Me The Breeze" is another of my favorites off the album. It features Donnie, Johnny and Leon Wilkinson on vocals as well as solos by Toy Caldwell (Marshall Tucker fame) and Charlie Daniels. Loads of talent are featured on this song and it shows. The second side of record two con­ tains one song—'what is it you want to hear?' "Freebird." What would a live Skynyrd album be without this classic? Johnny coerces the fans into sing­ ing the lyrics by saying, "Only one man can sing this song... Ronnie Van Zant. So you're gonna have to sing it for me." Damn if they didn't. Johnny was true to his word. Not one word did he sing. The fans did the WHOLE thing. Verv touching, very powerful. The ultimate tribute to one of the greatest rock bands of all time. All 13 minutes of this song is awesome. Only two things I didn't like. One is the lack of the incredibly popular "Gimme Three Steps." It would be appropriate for this song to have a place on this album. The songs already on it were pretty impressive so I guess we can let Skynyrd slide. The other thing I didn't like was "Swamp Music." Even though writ­ ten by Ronnie Van Zant and Ed King it just doesn't get my rocks off like other Skynyrd. It's like the new Boston, it just doesn't seem to belong. APP"lachi„, Minds Continued from Page; quote of mine USED to mind is too open then might fall out," and I y » to change overnight.

They still remain the most popular at­ traction at Myrtle Beach's Magic At­ tic, playing to over 100,000 fans each summer.

SO Sift jMcL: Do you have any comments in general on the art field? Art is my crucifixion. It's something that you just can't stop doing; it's like a posses­ sion (that is, like being possessed; you can't stop). When I paint portraits, I'm not just painting the likeness. It's like I'm painting the per­ sonality. That's one reason why I don't like to paint from photographs. I prefer live models. You can talk to the person, you get what's inside and it's reflected to the outer self. When I do landscapes, I try to do the same thing because there is a spirituality in the land as well as in peo­ ple. I'm trying to break that mold of the dweeby portrait you see in the K&W cafeteria. I'm trying to project more; to show how each person is unique... JMcL: Any last words? AF: If you have a goal, you've got to have faith in it.

See THE CREEK Page 10 Continued from Page 7 Continued from Page 7 AF: Now hard at work on their fifth album and continuing their extensive tour schedule, The Creek is yet un­ signed to a U.S. record label. However, it seems to be just a matter of time. In the meantime, the band is enjoying performing for their tried and true Southern fans. Despite the quest for a recording contract, The Creek is first and foremost a live band. Their perfor­ mances have been called "electrify­ ing" and "mesmerizing", and their ability to interact with the crowd is matched by very few. Perhaps this is because the band members prefer performing over the aspects of their profession.

Still seeking a deal in the U.S., Sugarcreek followed the advice of record company executives and shortened their name to The Creek in 1986. An album of the same name was soon to follow. Kerrange gave its highest rating to this release, referring to it as "a work of genius" with "im­ pressive, upper-class production."

I9M The Crppt 'After Hours" Saturday-a jazz fusion group with By BILLY Vlhsuri VINSON 5 Continued from Page 9 Michael Hough on rhythm guitar, Rob Hegler on bass, and Lynn Samples on drums, these boys put on one heck of a show. The Creek will be rocking H'Appy's tonight, a presentation of A.P.P.S. Stage Shows Council. Tickets are $3, and doors open at 8:30. This promises to be an exciting show featuring past Creek tunes and cuts from the upcoming album, in ad­ dition to their near note perfect covers of recent Top 40 hits. According to lead singer Tim Clark, H'Appy's is a favorite of the band. They love the crowd's enthusiasm and say that play­ ing in Boone is like one big party. 8: If you haven't seen The Creek in a while, you're in for a surprise. They have matured as a band and have outgrown much of their "teeny bopper" appeal. They have come into their own as a hardhitting pop band with an original sound. Don't miss your chance to see The Creek before they move on to a national fame. Appalachian Staff Writer I had known Eric Pike for a couple years, and I knew he was in a band. I thought I'd give the guy an interview, if just for publicity purposes. Plus, my editor has really become ruthless lately, and had I not turned in a story this week I would have been in mortal danger. Eric's band is called After Hours, and he arranged an interview between himself, band leader Mark Black, and myself. When I arrived, Mark promptly placed into my hands a oneand-and-half page essay on the history of After Hours. "Gee," I thought, "These guys are serious." Since Mark's very comprehensive essay blew my interview questions all to hell, the three of us sat around for nearly 45 minutes, just rapping about music. It seems that After Hours is a jazz group, performing tunes by the likes of David Sanborn, Michael Brecker, Tom Scott, Chic Corea, The Classics Four, and, my personal favorite, Mr. Davis.

Gora. Mark Black calls him "the shit," and says he is responsible for the very existence of After Hours today. The members of After Hours today, lacking much of the versatility of past members, co-exist with the philosophy of each member to a large extent "doing his own thing." According to Black, each member has his own role, and performs it accord­ ingly. The keyboard and guitar are the backbone of the band. The drum­ mer pushes out a groove while the bass is added for harmonics. The horns perform their role out front, providing melody. "Get out of town," replies After Hours, when asked their theory for a local band's success. They, as well as many other local bands, have discovered that Boone is an excellent place for a musician to starve. Another main ingredient for success is to be contemporary.

Eighty of the Mountaineer's 128 team points came from the field events. Perhaps the story of the meet in Lexington was the great performance of ASU's Leigh Hawkins.

These people could not Deonle be called "vandals," but yet the damage they do is just as real and important as if they had emptied a spray can on Grandfather. Parkway Superintendent Gary Everhardt stated recently that, considering the number of visits already recorded this year to the Parkway, the total number of visits this year could easily top 25 million. I'm not sure how this count is taken, but I would suppose it is a tally of the number of automobiles In order to better accommodate students and decrease the number of cars on campus, the AppalCART should increase its stops. Expansion ot the AppalCART system would not only accommodate freshmen, but it would possibly accommodate off-campus students more efficiently. Perhaps upperciassmen would be encouraged to leave their cars at home, save money and utilize the AppalCART. Some parking decks will inevitably be needed to accommodate a steadily growing student population. The location of these parking facilities should be carefully planned in compliance with the environment. Many students attend Appalachian State University because of the attraction to a mountain setting. Perhaps one way to keep a natural environment around the univer­ sity would be to build a huge off-campus parking lot somewhere out­ side university boundaries.

Moreover, the world community engages in a double standard and characteristically ignores the atrocities committed by the enemies of Israel when placed in Israel's circumstances or even less harsh ones. Also, while the world community condemns Israel for the deaths in the West Bank, the solution popularly and uau*., mc an hypocritically proposed is a solution most likely to result in more death and destruction for all. Worst yet, however, inherent in the world com­ munity's evaluation of this whole sor­ did mess, there is a double standard that is perhaps the most insidious of them all.

And three, on last resort, Meier Kahane was in an Israeli jail for his violence against innocent Arabs. By contrast, those Arabs who haven't been killed off by their selfappointed "leaders" have always been vocally at issue with the ex­ istence of Israel from its very incep­ tion. According to an April 4 cover story on Israel in U.S. News and World Report: "Every journalist who has covered the intifada (uprising) has an anecdote, and too many stories conclude with a 14-year-old rock thrower's saying that he wants Israel liberated' for a 'whole Palestine'—or even worse, an Islamic fundamentalist nation." Even though PLO leader Yassar Arafat claims to support UN Resolution 242 which recognizes Israel's existence, he only does so while equally supporting the delegitimizing 1975 UN resolution equating Zionism with racism. Thus, the actions of the Israelis in the West Bank are not merely overreaction to a gang of street hoodlums, but indeed a struggle for the very existence of Israel itself. Any free civilian nation believing in its own right to selfdetermination and self-preservation should equally support the right of Israel to the same. In addition to ignoring the larger context of the West Bank situation, what is also ignored is the fact that Bidding ASU a fond farewel Appalachian Columnist FREEPOM. 6ENTLE VOTERS... we PROMISE This leads to a sort of subset of«- n«= flower" syndrome: the people who < scious of their effects on the natural^ -vriJ much so that they do not even i rcpcnni reasoning-out process of our friend \ ( * * little flower, what will it hurt?") -n. c natural areas like they were simply l' ae' additions to their houses, ones the81" d o clean up.

As my days at ASU dwindle, I want to make a statement, a manifesto, some sort of definitive opinion that will serve as a common ground for all future graduates of this fine 'institu­ tion.' But I can't seem to find any comprehensive structure to convey how I feel. So, will I resort to the pro­ verbial 'heavy sentimentality' col­ umn, the 'listing' column, the 'rambl­ ing' column, or the ever popular 'ad­ vice for the future' column? Well, I'll probably touch on all of the above, so bear with me. I know I've got something to say, it's just a matter of finding it. Sharing my opinion in this newspaper has been a natural progres­ sion for me, because I'm always offer­ ing my two cents worth on most any subject, requested or not (one cannot go through four years of political science and history and not have opi­ nions on everything).

Well ji 7ere a Democrat, I too, would ne pleased with the way the "Gans Ut I am a Republican. 1 do not feel safe allowing an oligarchy of eight men sole rights to the money of all North Carolinians. Neither should you, by your affiliation with the epublican Party or the Democratic Party. During the same debate, another of my colleagues stated that the only way to generate additional funding for education was to raise taxes. He stated that if we want this additional funding, we should be ready to pay for it. Good point. However, when there are other possible revenue generating proposals, it is ridiculous to raise taxes until these possibilities have been thoroughly explored. Then, and only then, should the government raise our taxes. On the national scene, the Democrats have proposed the raising of the minimum wage from $3.35 an hour to $5.05 an hour.

Yet, this will only hurt you and I, students. Let's examine this pro­ posal. The intent behind the legisla­ tion is to provide the poor with more money. There is nothing wrong with this thinking, once again, the problem lies within the execution of the plan. The Democrats want to help the poor. So do the Republicans. If the minimum wage is raised, what do you think the producers of consumer goods are going to do? They are going to raise the price of those goods for two reasons. First, with people making more money, they will have more money to spend. To the businessman, this means more profit potential. Secondly, the pro­ ducer will have to make up the cost in higher wages by raising the cost of the product. Plain and simple, free-market economies will adapt to governmental involvement. Yet, this meddling will cause another reces­ sion which will be worse than the one our country suffered through under the Carter administration. If the government—particularly the Democratic controlled Con­ gress—wants to help the poor, then raise the tax credit for those living and existing under the poverty level.

My family was one of the unfor­ tunate middle-class households which had to pay for the mistakes of the Carter administration. In 1980, we owned a house and four automobiles, one for each of the drivers. My father was making a very good living, and did well in providing for his family. In less than two years, the dream was over. My father became unemployed, and we relocated to the Southeast. He remained unemployed for over a year. However, we could not receive any relief from the government because my father received a retire­ ment check from the Air Force, even though we existed under the poverty level. Additionally, I was not eligible for financial aid for the same reason. Miraculously, one month before my high school graduation, my father received a job with the United States Department of State, and things are much better. All those who say Reagonomics did not work, I say, check again. Unemployment is at an all-time low, the idea of rebuilding our national defense force without rais­ ing our taxes has been accomplished. 215 EAST KING ST. •• * "• Friday, April 29, at H'Appy's /mm 15 THE APPALACHIAN.

I am 26 and have no priors, so I began to wonder why I am always harassed while I'm in my Datsun "beater", never while I'm zipping around in my good car, and American-make known for its unlawfulness. Then it occurred to me: the old car'proclaims clearly that I am a proud ASU alumni and graduate student. The Z-28 has not so much as an ASU parking sticker to mark it as potential trouble. I have no idea when the schism between the town of Boone and the college students began. However, it is becoming clear to me who is charged with perpetuating the bad feelings. If I were just passing through, I wouldn't care. However, I am a lifelong resident of Ashe and Watauga Counties. Therefore, peo­ ple often ask me to explain why the elected town officials and others act the way they do in regard to the Buy A Classified students (and their revenue). I can't give them an answer.

I said the retaining counsel wasn't dependent on the availability 0f witnessess, and she made no reply. Then she said, "It's p'f. e )fte.for you to go to court." Evidently she believed that I would have to take her to court to prove my innocence! I told her that any legal action would be initiated by her since she was the one wanting reimbursement, and that the burden of proof falls on the plaintiff. She acted like I was speaking Swahili. Reminding her that there were no witnesses, I added that my word would carry as much weight as hers. No it Won't," she indignantly replied. "Have you spoken with an attorney?", I asked. She had not. She repeatedly threatened to have her father "take care of it". Her roommate, who had not been at the scene of the mishap, stood across the parking lot and exhorted her to "call the police". It was "a little late" to go to court, yet she should "call the police" weeks after the rvttiva unci II1C mishap! Isn't there a discrepancy I feel sorry for people like this when they get out of college. Some­ one who has so little knowledge of how things work in the real world will certainly be at a severe disad­ vantage. Are they going to rely on their parents for the rest of their lives? Some day daddy isn't going to be there. Personally, I would be em­ barrassed to threaten to call my parents; that went out in the sixth grade. Besides, people in college should be responsible enough to think for themselves instead of hav­ ing other people do it for them. College is an ideal situation for many students. Being under minimal parental control, they have an illu­ sion of independence, but they can still fall back on their parents. They need to realize that it isn't always going to be like this.

In closing, I'd like to reiterate to everyone to never get so caught up in school, or work, or parties, or whatever to remember the important things in life. You only go around once, so you have to have a good time, but there are other things to consider as well. Recently an impor­ tant person in my life fell ill, and I remembered a few weekends where I could have gone to see this person but I had to read a book, or go to a big party, or rest from midterms, etc. I felt incredibly selfish and stupid, and it made me aware that life is a fleering proposition. Things (and people) you count on being around forever will not be. Time is probabiy the most im­ portant resource we all have, so I guess my point in all this meandering is to not waste it — it races by and it never comes back, and the ultimate test is if you regret what you've done (or not done) with it.

Even if you are right, your opinion isn't enough: you will need substantiation. People who don't take this into consideration will be in trouble. In college, you can often get away with not know­ ing what you are talking about. In the real world it isn't so easy. here? Speaking of discrepencies, she claimed that she couldn't afford to pay a $22 repair bill, yet she was willing to pay a lot more to go to court, where success was not guaranteed. The ironic part to this: if she had been nice I would pro­ bably have offered to pay her entire repair bill. This is a prime example of selfishness being self-defeating.
