National Security team speaks
Defense strategy is prevention
By GARY SANDERSON
Staff Writer
"When you think of the So-
viet Union's military, think of
something that is big, modern,
and modernizing said Colonel
F. Edward Ward, a member of the
Air University's Air Force Na-
tional Security Briefing Team.
Ward and a national se-
curity briefing team, which has
addressed over 1200 military and
civilian groups, addressed stu-
dents on national defense and
security Tuesday at 7 p.m. The
team has been in existence since
1983 for the purpose of informing
the people on national security.
He said that the defense
strategy of the United States in-
cluded the worldwide detercnce
of aggression through preventa-
tivc measures. "We have to be
able to guard against anv conflict,
even terrorism and sabotage
Ward said.
"Basically we guard our po-
sition through peaceful negotia-
tions,but we will fight if it's neces-
sary
Ward said that Warsaw
Pact nations have overwhelming
odds in military equipment.
"Thev have NATO na-
tions outnumbered 3-to-l in air-
craft, 2-to-l in tanks, 5-tol in per-
sonnel and 8-to-l in artillery
Ward said. "The Soviets have the
most military hardware on earth.
"Through the years,
we've found it in our best interest
to ban together with other coun-
tries in order to keep world
peace
He said that the Soviet leader,
Lenin, "envisioned a single
worldwide communistic state
we have no reason to believe that
they have abandoned that ideal
Me said that the U.S. and its allies
keep an eye on world "hot-spots"
suchasSouth Africa, Vietnam, the
Middle East and Cuba.
"Sixty-three percent of
the world's oil supply comes from
the Middle East 70 percent of
Europe's oil comes from the
Middle East he said. "We want
to keep the Middle East open to
everyone we recently sent an
unconditional message to Libyan
leader Khaddafy that wasn't ig-
nored
Ward said U.S. concerns
are far-ranging and that Cam
Rahn Bay, Vietnam "is the largest
Soviet displav of forces outside of
the U.S.S.R He said the U.S.
"wants to end Apartheid in South
Africa" and that "steps have been
made in that direction, though
people are still suffering
"Some people believe
that the Soviet arms build-up is
due to their belief in a western
invasion documented evidence
points out otherwise Ward said.
He used Afghanistan and Poland
asexamples. "TheSoviets pour $4
billion into Cuba every year,
that's not just coincidence
He said that the massive
Soviet build-up over the past 20
years is an ever-growing threat.
"The U.S. edge in quality and
technology is closing rapidly and
some would sav it has closed
Ward said. 'Today the U.S. mili-
tary is strong, our capabilities are
great but we need to prepare now
for the 1990's through continued
force modernization an F-16 is
an excellent jet, but put three or
four Soviet planes on it, and it's all
over he said.
Ward said that although
the U.S. has made advancements,
so too have the Soviets. "The
Soviets are not afraid to use legal
and illegal means to achieve the
technology they desire he said.
Col. F. Edward Ward, a member of the Air Force National
Security Briefing Team, spoke to students Tuesday on the issues of
national securitv and defense.

Hamas dispute PLO claim
BETHLEHEM, Occupied
West Bank (AP) ? Young parti-
san factions, some carrying
knives and clubs, shouted threats
at each other today in a dispute
over the PLO declaration of inde-
pendence.
Agriculture makes stride
Members of the Islamic ex-
tremist group Hamas, or Zeal,
marched through the city forcing
stores shut for a strike they called
today on the 41st anniversary of a
U.N. resolution calling for crea-
tion of the Jewish state.
Leaders from the PLO-
backed United Leadership of the
uprising, who ordered their own
strike a day earlier, demanded
shopkeepers open their stores in
defiance of the fundamentalists'
strike call.
Palestinian official cancelled
Christmas celebrations in Bethle-
hem, where Christ was born, in
solidarity with the nearly year-
long revolt against Israeli occupa-
tion.
To try to block anti-Israeli
violence during the strike, the
army clamped curfews on 14
Gaza Strip refugee camps and
villages and on seven cities and
towns in the occupied West Bank,
confining 3000 residents to their
homes.
About 1.5 million Palestini-
ans live in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip, which were occupied
by Israel from Jordan and Egypt
in the 1967 Six Dav War.
J
The army beefed up patrol
the occupied territories and made
preventive arrests to reduce the
likelihood of confrontations.

"We've made great strides in

only a few people who really have
enough understanding to realie
that we've got these big non

"We're not looking at the long
range in my opinion Spruill
said. "The point-sources of pollu-

non point-sources of pollution are
so broad and so big we just tend to
ignore them. They are going to

lems
Some farmers believe that if
10 pounds of fertilizer will help
their crop grow well, then 20
pounds will help it grow better.
"It's the old idea all over again

a local tobacco and peanut farmer.
"We're part oi the problem too
Obviously, I think we need
some mere research Spruill
said, but 1 think that we're going
down a dangerous path in the
state and the countrv in general in
that we're putting too much of
our effort on remediation solving
groundwater problems or pollu-
tion problems
"I think we need to spend at
least an equal amount of time on
preventing these problems
Spruill said. "I know I learned
from my colleague a few days ago
that one oi the differences be-
tween the U.S. system and the
European system is that the Euro-
peans seemed to be putting a lot
more emphasis on the prevention
of the contamination of water and
air resources
"We're doing a pretty good
dogging' in determining where
the pollution is ? and let's go
clean it up Spruill said sarcasti-
callv.
"I think we can take a little bit
of our resources aw. i'rom the
clean- up end, especially in cases
where people are not directly
impacted, and start putting some
educational resources and finan-
cial resources, maybe they're one
in the same, on prevention of pol-
lution said Spruill.
"I think that we've gone back-
wards in the Reagan administra-
tion in our assessment of the envi-
ronment and the emphasis we've
placed on the environment
Spruill said. "All the record show
that the EPA and the regulatory
agencies have been cut
extensively
Conservation education,
technology, and recycling at the
local, state, and national levels
coupled with decision making on
large regional levels may be the
key to some of the pollution prob-
lems we face today.

Parliament may get veto power
MOSCOW (AP) ? President
Mikhail S. Gorbachev told the
Soviet parliament today it would
gain the right to veto his decisions
if it adopts his revised proposals
to overhaul the Soviet political
system.
In a speech opening a three-
day soecial session of the Su-
preme Soviet, or parliament, Gor-
bachev said the Kremlin leader-
shio made the veto proposal
among 88 changes it recom-
mended in response to 250,000
public comments on the new elec-
tion law and constitutional
amendments out before the body
today.
Two high republic officials
from the Baltics, however, regis-
tered dissatisfaction with
elements of the reform program
when addressing the plenum,
signalling the start of a genuine
debate in the chamber where rit-
ual ascent is the norm.
The original drafts, published
just five weeks ago, sparked
widespread criticism that the
changes would concentrate too
much power in the presidency in
a nation with a history of dictator-
ship.
In a reference to the outcry,
Gorbachev acknowledged, "It is
obvious that some of the provi-
sions of the bills were not formu-
lated precisely enough and
caused quite a few critical re-
marks in the course of the discus-
sions
Reading today from a new
draft, Gorbachev said the Su-
preme Soviet "has the right to
veto decrees of the presidium, in-
structions of the president of the
Supreme Soviet and the leader-
ship would be required to account
to the legislature "at least once a
year
Currently, directives from
the president are made in the
name of the Presidium and are
subject to confirmation at the next
full session of the Supreme Soviet.
But practically, there are no chal-
lenges. The Supreme Soviet had
its first non-unanimous vote in
memory last month.
Gorbachev promised that
other changes also would pre-
serve the Soviet Union's tradi-
tional collective style of leader-
ship. Under that style, the highest
government body - the Presidium
of the Supreme Soviet and the
highest party body ? the Polit-
buro ? are collective bodies.
The head of the Presidium is
the president, traditionally a
ceremonial role.
It was not immediately clear
whether Gorbachev was giving
up his original proposal to
strengthen the president's role by
giving him chairmanship of the
Defense Council and responsibil-
ity for overseeing foreign policy.
The latest draft of the pro-
posed changes also responded to
complaints from small republics,
including Estonia, Latvia and
Georgia, by increasing the repub-
lics' representation in one of the
houses of the bicameral parlia-
ment.
Latvian President Anatoly
Gorbunov asked that the reform
package be postponed to consider
objections by his parliament, in-
cluding one to the possibility of an
individual occupying several
seats in the new Congress of
People's Deputies.
Another Baltic president,
Vitautas Astrauskas of Lithuania,
called for a convention to write a
new constitution that would give
the central government authority
to decide issues of national scope
and reserve all other matters for
the republics.
He welcomed Gorbachev's
announced changes and accepted
the president's proposal to cut off
issues of the rights of republics
until later.
Gorbachev proposed creat-
ing a special commission to settle
the question of division of power
between the 15 Soviet republics
and the central government and
suggested the deputies limit this
session to overhauling the gov-
ernment structure.
He said the complex ques-
tions of the rights of the republics
and the powers of local legislative
bodies, known as Soviets, or coun-
cils, could be left for later.
"We have just embarked on
reform he said. "In this revolu-
tionary period, we are blowing up
the old structure The first step
in reconstruction is the overhaul
before the parliament, he said.
Gorbachev rejected com-
plaints that the principle or one
man, one vote is violated by a plan
to let organizations, such as the
Communist Party and trade
unions, elect one-third of the
deputies in a new Congress of
People's Deputies.
He said the reform clearly
states that legislative elections can
have multiple candidates, but
added that because numerous
candidates could be proposed,
they must face "preliminary dis-
cussion" before their local nomi-
nating commissions. It was not
known whether the commissions
could reject specific candidates.
The Soviet leader also hinted
at promised future reforms. They
include a rewrite of the preamble
of the Soviet constitution, includ-
ing the "definition of socialist

RJR shareholders face dilemma:
to buy cheap or sell and profit
NEW YORK (AP) ? RJR Na-
bisco Inc. stockholders are facing
another moment of reckoning,
either to sell their shares and
make a windfall profit or to sit
tight for the next unpredictable
chapter in history's biggest corpo-
rate takeover battle.
A company-imposed dead-
line for a second round of multi-
billion-dollar bids to buy the food
and tobacco conglomerate was
scheduled "to expire at 5 p.m. to-
day, and no decisions were ex-
pected before Wednesday.
Speculation that new, fatter
offers would emerge pushed RJR
Nabisco's stock price up $1 a
share Monday to $90, more than
50 percent above its value before
the takeover saga began two
months ago.
At least two of the three
known bidders?an RJR Nabisco

whether any additional bidders

whether First Boston's offer was
realistic.
The struggle for RJR Nabisco
began in late October when the
management group led by its
chairman, F. Ross Johnson, said it
was considering a debt-financed
acquisition of the company,
RJR Nabisco had said previously maker of hundreds of products
that the structure for evaluating ranging from Salem cigarettes to
all offers would remain un-
changed from the first round,
which took place Nov. 18-20.
In that process, proposals
were submitted in secret to a New
York law firm representing the
special committee, followed by a
analysis of what they were worth
and an announcement of the
committee's intentions.
The outside directors ex-
tended the auction after the first
round ended, reflecting their
view that those proposals were
inadequate in substance and
price.
RJR Nabisco's management

Christmas
Meaning obscured by rhetoric
Two thousand years or so ago ?
so the story goes ? a certain man
was born who ended up being
nailed to wood. These days, we cele-
brate the occasion by trading hast-
ily-bought and often insincere gifts.
"Christmas is for the children
they say. Funny how, once a year,
the children are thought of so
fondly. The rest of the time, how-
ever, ' children are tastelessly ex-
ploited and used for political pur-
poses. To borrow Garry Trudeau's
phrasing, the final presidential de-
bate of this year had both candidates
exhuming the memories of dead
children for political gain.
They're used mostly because
insisting that something must be
done "for the children" stirs up
emotions in their parents, who do
vote, but the children themselves do
not vote. In other words, they're
seen but not heard; they have taxa-
tion without representation.
And, as eventually happens with
most oppressed classes, the time has
come for a voice from the youngest
among us. A Christmastime re-
minder.
And they sav:
"It is not our responsibility to
bear the brunt of your frustration
with your inability to solve your
own problems. You created some of
Farewell
As another semester ends, The
East Carolinian, like other student
organizations, must now say goo-
dbye to its seniors. Luckily, we're
losing very few.
Joe 1 larris stepped into the job of
news editor this semester after a
cross-country trip. Nobody was re-
al lv prepared for the work load
those first few weeks dumped on us,
but after all those weeks of relaxa-
tion, I think it hit Joe a little harder
than others.
But he jammed. He did a great
job with the news department this
year, especially considering he got
little support from the managing
editor who knew virtually nothing
about hard news. In fact, there were
a lot of times that Joe was the news
department.
Kim Kayes had an idea of what
she was getting into. She had been
the editor of The Buccaneer, and she
knew how late things could get on a
publication.
As a layout artist, Kim was one of
the fastest and always cheerful.
With all the upheavals in the sports
department, Kim was a happy tran-
sition through it all.
Other staff members who are
leaving or who recently left include
former sports editor Doug Johnson,
ad rep Spencer Meymundi and as-
these problems, you perpetuated
others. Contrary to what you appar-
ently think, this does not give you
the moral authority to tell us how to
run our lives.
"It's an overused and often
badly used phrase, but nonetheless
the fact remains that we did not ask
to be here. You created us to satisfy
your own ego or for whatever other
purposes, but we do not owe you
anything in return.
"When we get pregnant, we are
not 'children having children We
are not, in fact, children as you use
the term. The world has changed
and we have changed to adapt. We
are expected to act as adults in the

even though we are still treated as
children. You cannot protect us by
shielding us. Knowledge is power,
not ignorance.
"Solve your own problems, then
come to us with ideas of how to solve
ours.
"But until then, swallow your
own bitter medicine: Stop the mad-
ness. Leave us alone, to do our
drugs, to make our mistakes, to
learn our own lessons and to be our
own selves ? just as you asked of
your own parents.

John has cranked out ad after ad,
complaining only a little bit. He's
also the only other staff member
who's been here almost as long as
Tim, James, Pete and myself. I and
the rest of the staff wish all these
people luck in whatever jobs,
schools or classes they head for.
Reshuffling is the name of the
game this month at the paper. Copy
editor Stephanie Folsom will be-
come the second female managing
editor. Tim Hampton will take back
his old position of news editor. I will
go back to being features editor. We
have an entirely new credit depart-
ment, and Stephanie Emory is going
to take over for John Medlin.
One of the lessons I learned this
year that hit home is the power the
media wields and the temptation to
use that power carelessly or igno-
rantly. While any medium is a
powerful thing, the medium of hu-
man communication is perhaps the
most powerful of all. During this
Christmas season, keep that in mind
and remember to be kind or at least
decent to your fellow humans and
animals. Feed the world, and Have a
great holiday season.

Gorbachev has vision
By MICHAEL KINSLEY
The New Republic
A recent survey found that nearly two-thirds of
Americans have a favorable opinion of Mikhail
Gorbachev. That put him ahead of every foreign
leader except Margaret Thatcher. Had Michael
Dukakis and George Bush been listed in the survey,
he doubtless would have finished ahead of them,
too. And with good reason. Gorbachev, more than
either presidential candidate, has "the vision
thing"? a clearly articulated view of where his
nation, and the world, should be heading.
Gorbachev's national vision, of course, consists
of perestroika and glasnost: the movement of the
Soviet economic and political systems (respectively)
away from rigid, topdown control toward the West-
ern model of feedom. Gorbachev's global vision is a
retread of former California Governor Jerry Brown's
"spaceship earth" platform.
Nations, Gorbachev notes, are increasingly
faced with common problems that are best ad-
dressed internationally: environmental threats, ter-
rorism, the cost of mutual military buildup, the
prospect of nuclear apocalypse, or of economic
apocalypse in financially integrated world. Increas-
ingly, we're all in the same boat. In technical par-
lance, this means nations are playing a "non-zero-
sum game in which the contestants can all win, if
they cooperate, or all lose, if they don't.
Gorbachev is right. One of the simplest truths
about international afffairs is that over this century
they have become more non-zero-sum. Similarly,
there's no doubt that Gorbachev has correctly diag-
nosed the maladies of the Soviet economy: commu-
nism is an inherently unproductive economic sys-
tem, and things look especially bleak for totalitarian
communism in the information age, when prosper-
ity depends on the diffuse distribution of potent
information processing and transmitting machines.
The interesting questions aren't about
Gorbachev's diagnosis, but about his prescrip-
tions? their likely efficacy, his real motivations in
espousing them, and the Western responses they call
for. If reporters did n't so slavishly follow the rules of
campaign discourse defined by television, these
questions might have been addressed in depth by
George Bush during his election campaign. Alas,
they weren't. Yet they will persist. So, for his benefit,
we offer this handy guide to questions that should
have been much debated this fall.
1. Is Gorbachev for real? Yes. There is a virtual
consensus that his reform program is much more
than mere talk. Even Jeane Kirkpatrick has lately
praised growing religious and intellectual freedom
in the Soviet Union and suggested that the U.S.S.R.
may be heading toward a promotion from totalitar-
ian to authoritarian regime (no small step, in her
lexicon).
Forum Rules
Indeed, the new freedom of expression, while
still far short of American standards, is in some ways
dramatic enough to be puzzling. In the West, the
intial take on glasnost was that it was entirely subor
dinate to perestroika; either Gorbachev thought (as
many think) that some measure of political freedom
is essential to fruitful economic freedom, or he was
using free speech to woo the intelligentsia, or both
But it turns out that glasnost is keeping pace with.
even outpacing, perestroika.
To be sure, the Soviet steps toward a qua
capitalistic economy sound more than tentative
Citizens are to be allowed to buy shares in industrial
enterprises? a "stock market" is what the Soviet
finance minister called the new system; Western
capitalists will be allowed a controlling interest in
joint ventures; and farmers, while still no citizens an
allowed actually to own land, will be able to lease ir
for decades. But aspiring entrepreneurs still suffo-
cate in red tape. And, most important, the Soviet-
have resisted the invisible hand itself: freely floating
prices, which bring supply and demand into har-
mony.
2. Does Gorbachev really believe his own space
ship earth rhetoric? Whether he does or not, much of
the world seems to, and he has expoitcd this tact
brilliantly. Indeed, for all the Reagan
administration's foreign policy triumphs (notably in
upping the price of Soviet expansion, thereby
heightening the contradiction bet wen a communist
economy and an expensive empire), Reagan-suf-
fered a historic lapse in surrendering the center stage
Of world opinion to Gorbachev. He" ruTS'rfiell'to
mount a comeback by sounding kinder, gentler, and
more like Jerry Brown. (Recently, for example, he
endorsed the use of the World Court? not an insti-
tution he has always paid homage to ? to resolve
some U.SSoviet disputes.) But there's more u ork to
be done on the global p.r. front.
George Bush must recapture the leadership of
international opinion, recognizing (a) that the
people of the world love to think oi themselves as
being fellow passengers on a giant spaceship; and (b)
that in many ways they really arc. Through dramatic
proposals for making the planet less tense, he can
win friends, influence people, and find out whether
Mikhail Gorbachev truly is a reasonable man, as
opposed to merely a clever one. Would Gorbachev,
for example, pull Soviet soldiers out of Eastern
European countries in exchange for a partial with-
drawal of American troops from Western Europe?
How about a conventional arms pact that?
unlike past nuclear arms treaties? would actually
save both side some money? How about clearer
rulesof the road to circumvent future mi litary entan-
glements in the Third World? Bush perfunctorily
alluded to questions like this during the campaign,
but he didn't sound as if he had lost any sleep over
them. He shouldn't get to the next election the same
way.

The U.N. Committee on Rela-

heard numerous speakers assail
the U.S. decision to bar Arafat
from speaking to the General
Assembly.
The chairman of the Commit-
tee on Relations with the Host
Countrv, Prince Constantine
Moushoutas of Cyprus, said "the
vast majority" felt the United
States had violated the Headquar-
ters Agreement, but the commit-
tee took no action.
Iraqi Ambassadador Ismat
Kittani told the same committee:
"The decision by Washington is a
independent state of Palestine,
proclaimed this month by the
Palestine National Council, the
PLO's parliament-in-exilc.
"Why are they afraid that l
speak to world public opinion
and explain the new Palestinian
decisions?" Arafat said in
Baghdad, Iraq.
State Department spokesman
Charles Redman said the shift to
Geneva was necessarv because
other PLO spokesmen in New-
York could speak instead of Ara-
fat.
"Probably no other country in
the world has worked as hard at
the peace process as the United
States has Redman said.
Renown Harvard pyschiatrist
guilty of plagiarizing book
BOSTON (AP) ? One of the
nation's top psychiatrists re-
signed from Harvard Medical
School's faculty after a student at
another school recognized plagia-
rized passages in the professor's
writings dating back 22 years.
Dr. Shervert Frazier, 67, for
mer director of the National Insti-
tute of Mental Health Mental
Health resigned last week as a
Harvard professor and head of
McLean Hospital, a psychiatric
hospital affiliated with the uni-
versity.
Frazier did not dispute the
findings of a faculty committee
that investigated the allegations,
but said the plagiarism was inad-
vertent, according to Dr. S. James
Adelstein, dean of academic pro-
grams at the medical school.
"He has accepted the evi-
dence of the committee Adel-
stein said.
"But he has ascribed the
events to his method of note-tak-
ing and composing papers
Harvard officials said Mon-
day the plagiarism was spotted by
Paul Scatena, a graduate student
in cognitive sciences at the Uni-
versity of Rochester.
Scatena said in a telephone
interview he read several of
Frazier's papers while research-
ing phantom pain, a burning sen-
sation that patients sometimes
feel from a limb that has been am-
putated.
Scatena said he found many
incorrect citations in the papers
and recognized paragraphs that
had been lifted from articles by
other researchers. He said he sent
the passages to Dr. Daniel C.
Tosteson, dean of the Harvard
Medical School, in August.
Tosteson announced
Frazier's resignation in a Nov. 23
letter to the faculty. The letter,
made public by the university
Monday, saysa faculty committee
investigated the allegations and
concluded that plagiarism oc-
curred in four papers written by
Frazier between 1966 and 1975.
Frazier could not be reached
for comment Monday. Spokes-
men at Harvard and McLean
Hospital said he was out of town
and unreachable.
He did not return messages
left at the hospital, and the phone
at his home went unanswered.
Three of the discredited pa-
pers are about phantom pain. The
fourth is on "psychiatric emer-
gency management
The papers, which were pub-
lished in medical journal and
textbooks, were intended ?as
"teaching instruments" and did
not purport to present new re-
search data, Adelstein said.
One of Frazier's colleagues
said he thought the forced resig-
nation was an overreaction.
"It's not as if he stole a great
idea from someone or published
someone else's research as if it
was his own said Dr. Seymour
Netv, professor emeritus oi psy-
chiatry and senior scientist at the
National Institute oi I lealth.
But Dr. Miles Shore, director

ile Democrats today elected
(leorge Mitchell oi Maine as theit
majority leader and the man who
Ail guide the chamber through
its coming skirmishes with
icorge Bush's White House,
sources said.
vtitchell was elected in the
clo'jd meeting by a unanimous
vOi - . te after first narrowly
missing a majority in his race
igainst Senators Daniel Inouve of
; la wan and Bennett lohnston of
! ouisiana, said the sources v ?
-poke on the condition oi ano-
nymity.
Earlier in the day, Republi-
cans re-elected Bob Dole as their
leader.
Mitchell, who was appointed
to the Senate in 1980, was elected
in 1982 and re-elected earlier this
rtonth, will succeed Robert C.
Byrd, D-W.Va who decided to
step down as majority leader to
become chairman oi the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
Although the least senior oi
ihe three candidates, Mitchell is
t onsidered a strong spokesman
for the partv. A New England lib-
eral, the former federal prosecu-
tor and judge has a regutation as a
skilled, thoughtful legislator.
Mitchell garnered 27 votes on
the first ballot, one short of a ma-
jority among the 55 Democrats in
the new Senate. When it became
apparent he would eventually
win a majority, the sources said,
his colleagues approved his
nomination unanimously.
Mitchell, 55, is a liberal like
Inouve but less tradition-bound.
He appealed to Democrats
seeking someone who would
appear less ideological but still
could act as a strong public
speaker fcr the party.
Hawaii's Inouve, at 64 the
oldest and most senior in the
Senate, pi .ched himself as the
most experienced of the three. His
liberal voting record is in line with
traditional Democrats.
Johnston, 56, is the most con
servativeof the three. I lecited his
Southern roots and parliamen-
tary skill.
The th roe candidates, besides
representing different regions,
offered different perspectives for
the Democrats.
Mitchell will lead Democrats
Aside from those broad
themes, the candidates appealed
to their colleagues on very per-
sonal issues such as demands for
choice committee assignments
and changes in the Senate rules
and schedule.
Dole, the Kansas senator who
recently has been meeting with
Bush to settle their differences,
was re-elected in a voice vote that
reinstalled three Republican offi-
cers who faced no opposition,
said Walt Riker, Dole's spokes-
man.
Alan Simpson, R-Wyo was
re elected minority whip; Bill
Armstrong, R-Colo was re-
turned as chairman of the Repub-
lican Policy Committee, and Thad
Cochran, R-Miss was kept on as
GOP secretary, Rixcr said.
The GOP conference chair-
man, Sen. John Chafee, R-R.I de-
feated challenger Frank Murkow-
ski, R-Alaska, by 28-17 to retain
his post, Riker said. Sen. Don
Nickels, R-Okla defeated Sen.
John McCain, R- Ariz on a vote of
28-17 to head the National Repub-
lican Senatorial Committee.

Van Hecke wants
Democrats to
choose next chair
DURHAM (AP) ? Mate
Democratic Chairman Jim Van
Hecke savs a nominating commit-
tee, which consists of all Demo-
cratic Council of State members
and other party officials, should
be created to choose the next party
chairman.
Traditionally, the Democrat
holding the highest elected state
'? office, either lieutenant governor
or governor, selects the chairman
and then the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee ratifies the choice.
But for the first time in North
Carolina's historv, a Democrat is
not holding either office.
"The committee would con-
sist of a broad-based group of
people that would look to the
: grass roots of the party to find a
: new chairman said Van Hecke,
who noted that he had not
? worked out the details of the
: nominating committee.
Sen. Terry Sanford should
have a say in the matter, he said.
"There will not be a situation (this
? year) where there's one titular
? leader we're looking to and
whose lead we'll follow he said,
"but certainly Sen. Sanford will
play a major role in the direction
: the party's going in, as will other
: party officials
; The Council of State called a
I meeting two weeks ago to pro-
? pose that a new board of directors,
consisting of Sanford, former
: Gov. Jim Hunt, the eight Council
of State members, Lt. Gov. Bob
s Jordan and former Senate Major-
l itv Leader Tonv Rand, be formed
to make the decision.
The meeting was postponed,
however, after an outcry from
black leaders in the state because
no women or blacks were invited
to the meeting.
Rep. Dan Blue of Wake
County noted that the membersof
the proposed board of directors
were all white men over the age of
40. The meeting has not been re-
scheduled yet.
"I recognize the role that
(Council of State members) have

It's never been difficult for students to
convince their parents of the need for a
Macintosh computer at school.
Persuading them to write the check,
however, is another thing altogether.
Which is why Apple created the Student
Loan-to-Own Program. An ingenious loan
program that makes buying a
Macintosh as easy as using one.
Simply pick up an application f lijF
at the location listed below, or
call 800-831-LOAN. All your
)arents need to do is
ill it out, sign it, and
send it. If they qualify, they'll receive a
check for you in just a few weeks.
There's no collateral. No need to prove
financial hardship. No application fee.
Best of all, the loan payments can be
spread over as many as 10 years.
Which gives you and your parents
plenty of time to decide just who pays for
it all ,

Twister was too close for radar
RALEIGH (AP) ? The Na-
tional Weather Service did not
begin issuing tornado warnings
until 38 minutes after the first tor-
nado touched down in western
Wake County because the twister
was too close to radar to monitor,
authorities sav.
"If you are looking straight
up at a storm you can't see much
said Rod Gonski, a meteorologist
with the weather service at
Raleigh Durham International
airport.
it's like looking at a pencil at
point blank Gonski said. "You
can't tell if it's a pencil or a dot in
the middle of a circle
Gonski said the tornado that
struck north Raleigh early Mon-
day, killing two children and in-
juring more than 100 people,
could not have been predicted,
even with advanced radar svs-
tems.
"Even in hindsight it would
have been very difficult to predict
that we would have severe dam-
age from this storm Gonski said.
The weather service oiiicc in
Raleigh was operating without a
critical earlv-waming tool ? a
weather radar that has been bro-
ken since Nov. 20. Meterologists
debated whether the radar's
absence kept them from issuing a
tornado warning as early as they
might have.
All agreed, however, that the
current weather radar ? even
when working ? doesn't have
the early-warning capability of an
experimental radar-computer
system, called NEXRAD, that
should be installed at the 173
weather stations across the
United States by 1995.
Gonski said his office's radar
would have been rendered use-
less by the heavy rains that del-
uged the radar site at the airport.
"The air around the radar site
was heavy laden with moisture
he said. "The rain absorbs and
scatters energy from the radar so
that there is not enough returned
to the signal
Gonksi said radars at Volens,
"a Charlotte and Wilmington
are covering the Raleigh-Durham
area.
"The radar coverage was
adequate he said.
But meteorologists at the
National Severe Storm Labora-
tory in Norman, Okla and the
National Severe Storm Forecast
Center in Kansas City, Mo said
the lack of a radar probably ham-
pered weather forecasting efforts
at Raleigh-Durham.
Fred Mosher, chief of techni-
cal development at the Kansas
City forecast center, said the
weather stations at Volens, Char-
lotte and Wilmington would not
give meteorologists as accurate a
radar picture of Raleigh-Durham
as their own radar.
"The beam gets wider as you
get further away, so you have less
resolution the further away you
are Mosher told The Greens-
boro News & Record.
"Normally if there's a strong
thunderstorm in the area, you
take the local radar, look for sig-
natures in the storm like liquid
water high up in the cloud he
said. "That's an indication of a
strong storm. It's difficult to do
that from far away
Mosher agreed that a storm
out break over or near a radar site
would diminish forecasters' abil-
ity to see thunderstorms that have
the potential to spawn tornadoes.
But Don Burgess, a research
meteorologist at the storm labora-
tory in Norman, said, "At least
they would have seen the storms
forming or perhaps moving into
the Raleigh-Durham area
Joe Dean, state secretary of
Crime Control and Public Safety,
said 15 minutes' warning might
have made the difference be-
tween life and death Monday- But
he added that because the storms
hit when most people were
asleep, it's hard to sav how many
would have heard a tornado
warning.
"In a disaster, the strongest
partner 1 have is the media Dean
said. "If you aren't watching TV
or aren't listening to the radio,
vou don't know
Gonski said the storms were
spawned by the collision of a cold
front into a warm, moist air mass
over the eastern part of the state.
He said temperatures on Sunday
ranged in the 70s and humidity
was similar to summertime lev-
els. Two jet streams located over
the state also contributed to the
development of the twisters, he
said.
But Gonski said that when the
cold front entered the state, it did
not exhibit the qualities of a po-
tentially damaging storm.
'The front had some history
of causing severe weather in pre-
vious days he said. "As it en-
tered North Carolina, it did not
have severe weather associated
with it
"The front looked a lot more
friendly as it entered the Caroli-
nas than when it exited Gonski
said.
Thunderstorms began to
develop as the cold front collided
with the warm air Sunday night.
Gonski said that when the thun-
derstorms grew to an elevation of
about 30,000 to 40,000 feet, their
tops were "blown off" by two jet
streams.
The high level winds then
pulled more air up into the
storms. "Suppose you had a fire-
place and then you blew a wind
across the top of the chimney,
Conski said. "You would in-

Twister was too close for radar
RALEIGH (AP) ? The Na-
tional Weather Service did not
begin issuing tornado warnings
until 38 minutes after the first tor-
nado touched down in western
Wake County because the twister
was too close to radar to monitor,
authorities say.
"If you are looking straight
upat a storm you can't see much
said Rod Gonski, a meteorologist
with the weather service at
Raleigh Durham International
airport.
"It's like looking at a pencil at
point blank Gonski said. "You
can't tell if it's a pencil or a dot in
the middle of a circle
Gonski said the tornado that
struck north Raleigh early Mon-
day, killing two children and in-
juring more than 100 people,
could not have been predicted,
even with advanced radar sys-
tems.
"Even in hindsight it would
have been very difficult to predict
that we would have severe dam-
age from this storm Gonski said.
The weather service office in
Raleigh was operating without a
critical early-warning tool ? a
weather radar that has been bro-
ken since Nov. 20. Meterologists
debated whether the radar's
absence kept them from issuing a
tornado warning as early as they
might have.
All agreed, however, that the
current weather radar ? even
when working ? doesn't have
the early-warning capability of an
experimental radar-computer
system, called NEXRAD, that
should be installed at the 173
weather stations across the
United States by 1995.
Gonski said his office's radar
would have been rendered use-
less by the heavy rains that del-
uged the radar site at the airport.
"The air around the radar site
was heavy laden with moisture
he said. "The rain absorbs and
scatters energy from the radar so
that there is not enough returned
to the signal
Gonksi said radars at Volens,
Va Charlotte and Wilmington
are covering the Raleigh-Durham
area.
"The radar coverage was
adequate he said.
But meteorologists at the
National Severe Storm Labora-
tory in Norman, Okla and the
National Severe Storm Forecast
Center in Kansas City, Mo said
the lack of a radar probably ham-
pered weather forecasting efforts
at Raleigh-Durham.
Fred Mosher, chief of techni-
cal development at the Kansas
City forecast center, said the
weather stations at Volens, Char-
lotte and Wilmington would not
give meteorologists as accurate a
radar picture of Raleigh-Durham
as their own radar.
"The beam gets wider as you
get further away, so you have less
resolution the further away you
are Mosher told The Greens-
boro News & Record.
"Normally if there's a strong
thunderstorm in the area, you
take the local radar, look for sig-
natures in the storm like liquid
water high up in the cloud he
said. "That's an indication of a
strong storm. It's difficult to do
that from far away
Mosher agreed that a storm
out break over or near a radar site
would diminish forecasters' abil-
ity to see thunderstorms that have
the potential to spawn tornadoes.
But Don Burgess, a research
meteorologist at the storm labora-
tory in Norman, said, "At least
they would have seen the storms
forming or perhaps moving into
the Raleigh-Durham area
Joe Dean, state secretary of
Crime Control and Public Safety,
said 15 minutes' warning might
have made the difference be-
tween life and death Monday. But
he added that because the storms
hit when most people were
asleep, it's hard to say how many
would have heard a tornado
warning.
"In a disaster, the strongest
partner I have is the media Dean
said. "If you aren't watching TV
or aren't listening to the radio,
you don't know
Gonski said the storms were
spawned by the collision of a cold
front into a warm, moist air mass
over the eastern part of the state.
He said temperatures on Sunday
ranged in the 70s and humidity
was similar to summertime lev-
els. Two jet streams located over
the state also contributed to the
development of the twisters, he
said.
But Gonski said that when the
cold front entered the state, it did
not exhibit the qualities of a po-
tentially damaging storm.
"The front had some history
of causing severe weather in pre-
vious days he said. "As it en-
tered North Carolina, it did not
have severe weather associated
with it
"The front looked a lot more
friendly as it entered the Caroli-
nas than when it exited Gonski
said.
Thunderstorms began to
develop as the cold front collided
with the warm air Sunday night.
Gonski said that when the thun-
derstorms grew to an elevation of
about 30,000 to 40,000 feet, their
tops were "blown off" by two jet
streams.
The high level winds then
pulled more air up into the
storms. "Suppose you had a fire-
place and then you blew a wind
across the top of the chimney,
Gonski said. "You would in-
crease the temperature of the fire
because you intensify the up-
draft
"And the whole thing went
off in a matter of minutes, liter-
ally
The first tornado strike oc-
curred just northeast of the air-
port. A clock on a tower at Hart-
ford Hills Apartments was stuck
at 1:07, apparently the time elec-
tricity was disrupted.

Bush has to fill vacancy in Tokyo
WASHINGTON (AP) ?At
least one of the 100-odd American
ambassadors that President-elect
George Bush must select could
rank in importance with many of
the Cabinet choices now drawing
most of the nation's attention.
Bush must select the succes-
sor to former Senate Democratic
leader Mike Mansfield, retiring
after a record 11 vearsasambassa
dor to Tokyo.
The job is important simply
because Japan has become so
important to America in the late
20th Century.
Together the two countries
account for 40 to 50 percent of
world economic output. They
have one of the world's most com-
plex, emotionally-charged and
changing relationships.
Mansfield calls the U.SJapa-
nese relationship the most impor-
tant in the world and says that
during his tenure in Tokyo it has
changed from that of uncle-
nephew to brother-brother.
Complicating the love-hate
feelings often felt between coun-
tries are deep cultural and lan-
guage differences and japan's
new world importance.
In only four decades, Japan
has transformed itself from a
humble, defeated American en-
emy to a U.S. protege and loyal
ally, an economic superpower
and rival, U.S. creditor, landlord
and occasional critic.
During the election cam-
paign, Bush took positions on is-
sues such as Japan's military and
foreign aid role and trade.
To demands that japan in-
crease military spending and re-
lieve some of the U.S. defense
burden, Bush a bomber pilot
against Japan in World War II -
noted that Japan's Asian neigh-
bors still remember the war and
"remain very sensitive to the issue
of Japanese rearmament
He suggested that Japan rap-
idlv boost its share of global eco-
nomic aid, a catetory in which it is
about to surpass the United
States. But that, too, could create
other conflicts, because Japan is
already becoming a rival to U.S.
dominance of such international
institutions as the World Bank.
On trade, Bush is expected to
take President Reagan's general
line of seeking to brake protec-
tionist efforts to restrict Japanese
imports into the United States
while encouraging sharpened
U.S. competitiveness.
Reagan and Yasuhiro
Nakasone, the Japanese prime
minister from 1982-87, developed
a first-name relationship un-
precedented in the two countries'
history. Their personal connec-
tion helped the nations weather a
rough period marked by U.S.
pressure against Japanese domes-
tic barriers, alleged unfair trade
practices and insular thinking
inappropriate for a country
grown rich by exporting.
Noboru Mekalaka Takeshita,
Nakasone's successor, said dur-
ing a White House visit that he
also had gotten on a first-name
basis with the U.S. president.
Tokyo news reports say he hopes
to visit Washington early in the

State grants two Republican Senator
candidates election vote recounts
RALEIGH tAP) ? As the
state Board of Elections certified
results in the Nov. 8 elections, it
also granted recounts for two Re-
publican challengers in a Senate
race won by Russell Walker, and
in another Senate race in which in-
cumbent R.P. "Bo" Thomas fell
264 votes short of re-election.
The board on Tuesday de-
clared Gov. Jim Martin the official
winner of the governor race, or-
dered new elections in local races
in Duplin Countv, and called for a
second recount in a state Senate
race.
The state board's action gave
final approval to most ot the re-
sults of the Nov. S election includ-
ing state voters choice of Martin, a
Republican, over Democrat Bob
Jordan, in the governor's race and
that of Vice President George
Bush, a Republican, over the
Democratic nominee, Michael
Dukakis, in the presidential race.
In the District 16 Senate race,
in which Walker appeared to
have won another term, unofficial
returns show Democratic incum-
bent Sen. Wanda Hunt a clear
winner with 50,608 votes. Walker
won the second seat with 48,170
votes. The two-seat district is
made up of four counties ?
Chatham, Moore, Orange, and
Randolph.
Trailing Walker were Repub-
licans Max Reece Jr. with 47,978
votes, and Robert "Bob" Crump,
with 47,978. A recount was auto-
matic for Reece under a state law
that requires them when unoffi-
cial returns show a difference of 1
percent or less between winning
and losing candidates.
But the board voted also to
order a recount for Crump, who
trailed Walker by 568 votes,
which is also within 1 percent of
the vote given Walker even
though he was not the candidate
"with the next highest number of
votes" as provided by state law.
A recount was also ordered in
Senate District 29 where Thomas,
D-Hendersonville, was a third-
placc finishei in the two-seat dis-
trict with 49,038 votes, trailing
Republican C.W. I lardin of Can-
ton, who won 49,302 votes.
The board also voted to order
Macon County Board of Elections
to conduct a probable cause hear-
ing on Thomas' request for a new
state senate election in that
countv. said N.C. Elections Direc-
tor Alex Brock.
The purpose of the probable
cause hearing is to conduct a legal
forum at which the board divide
whether to hold evidentiary hear-
ing oi the complaints Brock
said.
"They've got to consider it
he said, rhat's what the order
will require Macon County Board
of elections to do. Whatever they
do is appealable to the state
board
Macon County election offi-
cials will decide when the prob-
able cause hearing will be held,
but it will not be held until after
the recount. Brock said.
"I'm encouraged by the fact

mas said when reached in Raleigh
Tuesday evening. "Nothing has

that the big board will find that

which the electronic voting ma-
chines were programmed. I'm
certain of that. It's as obvious as

The state board declared

L. Smith for a seat on the state
Court of Appeals, but withheld
final certification pending a noon

Smith, who trailed by 15,858.
votes, to call for a recount.
In other action, voters in
Duplin County will go back to the
polls again to elect two county
commissioners and three school
board members after the state
board ruled that a programming
error on voting machines had
made it impossible to get an accu-
rate count of the votes there.
The programming error re-
sulted in some straight-ticket vot-
ers casting ballots for board
members and commissioners in
Other districts, according to Du-
plin County officials.

savs above the subtle musax es-
caping trom a small two speaker
stereo.
Before Pat can pull the vvisk
brush trom his back pocket and
dust oii Raymond's neck, a
couple, the man wearing Knits
and jeans, enter the barbershop
just before close. Pat addresses
them both by their name. Tat
takes pride in his ability to re-

It'salready after the 5:30clos-
ing and Pat anticipates the man in
the boots to be his last customer of
the day. But this afternoon is a
busy one for Pat as a mother pulls
her two sons through the glass
door.
The fussy mother tugs the
smaller oi the two bovs, a tired
whiner, in the direction oi the
barber's chair with a bold 1964
emblem on its bottom. Once the
bov is bibbed and is snapped in,
the mother orders to cut the bangs
an inch and to cut the back close.
Pat tries to cheer the bov up,
but his whines presist. Changing
the heads on the electric razor
with proficiency, Pat angles the
buzz tool around the contours oi
the bin's neck. "Now that wasn't
too bad was it?"
Still standing near the chair,
the mother calls her eldest boy, a
13-year-old, to the stand. Reluc-
tantly, he folds his Sports Illus-
trated and shuffles aeross the
floor. The mother once again
barks cutting instructions, which
include a chopping to a long front,
to which the boy squeals "Oh,
Mom
As a stern look grows on the
mother's ico, Pat becomes the
mediator by saying "We'll fix vou
up The boy slouches in the bar-
ber chair with somewhat oi a op-
timistic demur, he knows he can
trust Pat; you see, Pat has cut his
hair since the 13-year-old was a
tyke.
Pat has a lot of returning cus-
tomers and in some families he
cuts the hair oi three generations.
And some wouldn't trust their
hair with anyone else but Pat.
"A couple oi my customers
have left Greenville, but still come
back to see me Pat savs with his
ever present smile. "1 still cut the
man's hair who modeled for me

Now 6:15 on a Tuesday eve-
ning, Pat would usually be home
about this time, but he is not too
upset about it. As he dumps the
collection oi hair clippings, a
melting pot oi locks, into the trash
bin and pulls his sleeves through
a blue wind breaker, Pat wishes us
a good night and savs his pat-

From more humble begin-

has evolved into a journal oi

In fact it is. 10 years after the
establishment of its present form

so. As Ralph . Mills, Ir . author
and critic, has said, Iar River
Poetry is "edited with quiet bril-
liance. Favoring no particular
school, movement of clique, it has
published a broad spectrum of
poets.
The criteria have always
been the quality of the individual
poem. The critical pieces in its
review pages have been consis
tentlv thoughtful and independ-
ent Mills said.
In a world where there is no
money to be made in poetry, the
fact that praises of the journal
such as Mills' ring consistently
true is perhaps responsible Tar
River Poetry's longev ity. Makuck
states that "it's important that Tar

On the social front, Dirtv
Dancing and endless beer com-

country ? Sexually Transmit-

AIDS, herpes or that old
standby cervical cancer, Ameri-
cans lived in mortal fear of the
question, "What do we do after
the bars close?"
This problem was exacer-
bated in North Carolina, where
ABC laws close all bars at 1 a.m.
during Daylight Savings Time.
So far, no one at the ABC has
offered an explanation for this
bizarre law. It must get darker at
1 a.m. in the winter than it does
in the summer.
On the musical end of the
scale, there were few bright
pots. SPIN magazine came

national exposure she deserved

and cover versions of old hits

couldn't come up with stuff of
their own.

And the whole campaign
degenerated into a contest to see

What a plethora of choices!
Greenville Cable TV alone ot-

Weather Channel, ESPN, CNN

"When I first started, all the
college boys wanted flat tops,
now it's a variety oi things Pat
says as he adjusts his gold-
rimmed glasses. Beside the
"faded look Pat will accomo-
date any request from the spiked
look to Mohawk. Although he
doesn't cut many womens' hair
he has shaved the sides of some
ECU girls' heads.
A diversity in clientele pay
patronage to Yarsitv Hair Cut and
Pat enjoys that element oi his
work. Besides lawyers and busi-
ness people who work down-
town, blue collar workers, stu-
dents and exchange students visit
Pat.
Pat's next customer, Rav-
mond, has been a loyal client for
20 vears. Raymond steps his work
boots to the stool and ask for a
trim of his grev hair.
'Time goes by fast, don't it
Ravmond
"When you are working, it
reallv goes by fast Raymond
savs above the subtle musax es-
caping from a small two speaker
stereo.
Before Pat can pull the wisk
brush from his back pocket and
dust off Raymond's neck, a
couple, the man wearing boots
and jeans, enter the barbershop
just before close. Pat addresses
them both by their name. Pat
takes pride in his ability to re-
member clients' names.
"1 trv to remember names. I
J
like to know my customers per-
sonally Pat says.
It's already after the 5:30 clos-
ing and Pat anticipates the man in
the boots to be his last customer of
the day. But this afternoon is a
busy one for Pat as a mother pulls
her two sons through the glass
door.
The fussy mother tugs the
smaller of the two boys, a tired
whiner, in the direction of the
barber's chair with a bold 1964
emblem on its bottom. Once the
boy is bibbed and is snapped in,
the mother orders to cut the bangs
an inch and to cut the back close.
Pat tries to cheer the boy up,
but his whines presist. Changing
the heads on the electric razor
with proficiency, Pat angles the
buzz tool around the contours of
the boy's neck. "Now that wasn't
too bad was it?"
Still standing near the chair,
the mother calls her eldest boy, a
13-year-old, to the stand. Reluc-
tantly, he folds his Sports Illus-
trated and shuffles across the
floor. The mother once again
barks cutting instructions, which
include a chopping to a long front,
to which the boy squeals "Oh,
Mom
As a stern look grows on the
mother's face, Pat becomes the
mediator by saying "We'll fix you
up The boy slouches in the bar-
ber chair with somewhat of a op-
timistic demur, he knows he can
trust Pat; you see, Pat has cut his
hair since the 13-year-old was a
tyke.
Pat has a lot of returning cus-
tomers and in some families he
cuts the hair of three generations.
And some wouldn't trust their
hair with anyone else but Pat.
"A couple of my customers
have left Greenville, but still come
back to see me Pat says with his
ever present smile. "I still cut the
man's hair who modeled for me
when I went to get my barber's
license. Cecil Hinnant is his
name
Now 6:15 on a Tuesday eve-
ning, Pat would usually be home
about this time, but he is not too
upset about it. As he dumps the
collection of hair clippings, a
melting pot of locks, into the trash
bin and pulls his sleeves through
a blue wind breaker, Pat wishes us
a good night and says his pat-
ented "Come back and see me

"It's printed on an ivory
parchment sort of paper, so it has
a warm, welcoming feel to it
says editor Peter Makuck, and
indeed this is the feelingone expe-
riences with a reading of the 10th
anniversary edition of Tar River
Poetry.
From more humble begin-
nings in the late 1960's as a forum
for local poets, Tar River Poetry
has evolved into a journal of
broad scope which accepts sub-
missions from writers and critics
of national stature.
In fact it is, 10 vears after the
establishment of its present form
and name, rated by Writer's Di-
gest as one of the top 50 publica-
tions for poetry. And deservedly
so. As Ralph J. Mills, jr author
and critic, has said, Tar River
Poetry is "edited with quiet bril-
liance. Favoring no particular
school, movement of clique, it has
published a broad spectrum of
poets.
The criteria have alwavs
been the quality of the individual
poem. The critical pieces in its
review pages have been consis-
tently thoughtful and independ-
ent Mills said.
In a world where there is no
money to be made in poetry, the
fact that praises of the journal
such as Mills' ring consistently
true is perhaps responsible Tar
River Poetry's longevity. Makuck
States that "it's important that Tar
River Poetry has survived for 10
years because literary journals
come and go. The life expectancy
is about five years. Ten years
clearly means that the university-
believes in what we're doing, and
that we're valuable enough to
receive financial support
The 10th aniversary edition is
a celebratory double issue which
contains a rich offering of poetry
and four essays. Much of the writ-
ing is, as Bill Katz, professor at
State University of New York, has
said of Tar River Poetry in gen-
eral, "written not just for other
poets and academics, but for the
general public. The poems are
clear, precise, and tend to be in-
volved with close inspection of
thing and events rather than with
the inner layers of the poet's
mind
For example, there is Fred
Chappell's "Relativity a poem
which applies Einstein's revolu-
tionary theory to the way we see
things in our daily lives.
"Let us suppose an observer
observing within this system. To
him all things are systematic
Within our own lives, our actions
have meaning because we are
familiar with the system of things
that we live in. Yet at the speed of
light, the normal laws of physics
that govern our systems seem to
disappear, and as we begin to
employ the technology of relativ-
ity and the power of the atom, our
ability (and perhaps our desire) to
understand one another collapse.
"The separate systems veer to-
gether and apart and this inabil-
ity to understand each other "is
punctuated by the blackened
matchstem that was Nagasaki
by our possession and use of the
atomic bomb.
In "Spilled Bruce Bennett
makes a keen observation about
the seemingly undeserved anger
and frustration we give to simple
accidents.
"It's not the liquid spreading
on the floor nor indeed the park-
ing ticket, missed apointment, or
lost keys, all annoyances common
to everyday existance. These
things are "scarcely cause for sobs
that will not stop Instead, it is
"everything you've ever spilled,
and more that causes the anger.
As the overturned glass falls and
its contents spread on the floor,
we react to not just it, but to the
abundance of mistakes we have
made, and helplessness that
comes with knowing that we will
make them again.
Among the critical essays
which follow the poetry, there is
"Elvis Astride Pegasus Jim
Elledge's look at rock music as a
background for the remembered
experiences of poets who grew up
during the formation of rock and
roll, and now write about the stars
they listened to.
There is, as Elledge notes, a
mythology in rock music that
invokes a myriad of emotions,
concepts, memories of Vietnam
and phrases such as "yeah, yeah,
yeah In light of this fact, it is not
surprising that poets such as Gary
Soto, Albert Goldbarth, and Rich-
ard Blessing among others,
should write about the artists who
created the recollections of their
generation.
The essay's title recalls the
Greek myth of Bellerophon
astride the winged horse, facing

If the intense curve of what
we came to call "hell's mile isn't
bad enough, then the moss and

miles are littered with barnacles
and painted with moss. The moss

you lose your footing, thankfully
none of us did, you scrape along
the razor-like barnacles into the 50

Bonehead wraps up the year 1988
By CHIPPY BONEHEAD
"If t Not My Problem Anymore
Well, it seems it's that time
of year again. I have to wrap up
this column for the year. And it's
been a great year, hasn't it? Just
think back at all the fun things
that happened in 1988
On the social front, Dirty
Dancing and endless beer com-
mercial meant one thing to this
country ? Sexually Transmit-
ted Diseases. Whether it was
AIDS, herpes or that old
standby cervical cancer, Ameri-
cans lived in mortal fear of the
question, "What do we do after
the bars close?"
This problem was exacer-
bated in North Carolina, where
ABC laws close all bars at 1 a.m.
during Daylight Savings Time.
So far, no one at the ABC has
offered an explanation for this
bizarre law. It must get darker at
1 a.m. in the winter than it does
in the summer.
On the musical end of the
scale, there were few bright
spots. SPIN magazine came
back, Tracy Chapman got the
national exposure she deserved
and X didn't break up.
The Cars did though, REM
sold out, drivin' 'n cryin' didn't,
and cover versions of old hits
made money for artists who
couldn't come up with stuff of
their own.
Weatherwise, the atmos-
phere finally went on strike and
those ozone scabs finally got a
shot at the jobs they've begged

God was sending to wipe out
Greenville. I guess even God's
aim is a little off these days.
Whose isn't? America
proved her political aim is still
the stagnant status quo of the
right-wing conservatives. But in
the end, it didn't really matter.
The only guy qualified to be
president blew it by picking on a
defenseless moron.
And the whole campaign
degenerated into a contest to see
which potential First Lady had
buried the most children. Who
needs it? Thank God for cable
television.
What a plethora of choices!
Greenville Cable TV alone of-
fers five religious channels. The
Weather Channel, ESPN, CNN
and MTV were big favorites
among college students. In fact,
these channel seemed tailor-
made for us.
Channels that show the
same thing every hour, have lots
of commercials and require the
attention span of a small house-
hold appliance were big busi-
ness again this year. No reason
why they won't be next year too.
Ted Turner truly is a veritable
god.
Vanna White became the
Goddess of Love, causing sev-
eral hundred mythology profes-
sors to commit suicide. "The
Cosby Show" went into syndi-
cation and can now be seen 24
hours a day, providing wit,
warmth and wisdom for mil-
lions of divorced parents, run-
away kids and other remnants
of the nuclear family.
At the movies, "Fatal At-
traction" and "Rambo III"
proved America likes to watch
sequels and psychos, and se-
quels with psychos are big
money. Michael Keaton signed
to play Batman in the new
movie, throwing the comic book
industry back 20 years.
Otherwise, comics did
pretty well. Robin the Boy
Wonder bit the Bat-dust, SPIN
featured hip comic books regu-
larly in their mag, and Matt
Groening's cartoon fillers on
"The Tracey Ullman Show"
were the funniest thing in any
media.
And what changes did the
Year of the Dragon breathe into
The Emerald City? Well, the city
got $8 million from a deceased
widow, but they didn't get a tat-

Man has musical obsession
NEW YORK (AP) ? John
McGlinn is a cherubic 35-year-old
with a passion, some might call it
an obsession, for authentic ver-
sions of old musicals.
He is the man behind a new
and virtually complete recording
of "Show Boat nearly four hours
of music and dialogue from one of
Broadway's greatest musicals.
The new recording, using the
original orchestrations and pro-
duced bv EM 1-Angel at a reported
cost of $500,000, is pretty much
what the first-night audience
heard on Dec. 27, 1927, when
"Show Boat opened at
Broadway's Ziegfeld Theater.
A lot of the music hasn't been
heard since, at least not in the way
theatergoers experienced it more
than b0 years ago. Over the years,
the orchestrations have been
"modernized songs dropped,
dialogue cut and some of the
show's more racially offensive
lyrics softened or eliminated.
J
'Show Boat written by Jer-
ome Kern and Oscar Hammer-
stein II, is one of the musical
theater's most influential and
enduring works.
Based on Edna Ferber's epic
novel, it tells the unhappy love
storv of Magnolia Hawks,
daughter oi a showboat captain,
and Gaylord Ravenal, a charming
but irresponsible gambler.
Their tale, spanning four dec-
ades, unfolds against a backdrop
oi black oppression as well as
miscegenation, unlikely topics for
the frivolous musicals of the
1920s. Its score produced such
classic love songs as "Make Be-
lieve "Can't Help Lovin' Dat
Man "You Are Love "Why Do
I Love You?" and "Bill" as well as
Ol' Man River one of the most
stirring songs ever heard on a
Broadway stage.
For the recording, McGlinn
assembled a cast from the worlds
oi opera, musical comedy and
theater. Frederica vonStade sings
Magnolia; tenor Jerry Hadley
plays Ravenal, a role more likely
to be sung today by a baritone;
Teresa Stratasis the doomed Julie;
Bruce Hubbard, who appeared in
the 1983 Broadway revival, is the
black stevedore Joe, and in a bit of
inspired casting, 95-year-old Lil-
lian Gish speaks the small part ?
some seven lines ? of the old
woman who recognizes the aging
Magnolia and Ravenal at the
musical's poignant and stirring
finale.
The musical was recorded in
the summer of 1987 during 16
separate three-hour sessions, one
in New York to accommodate
MissGish and the rest at London's
famous Abbey Road studios.
McGlinn conducted the Lon-
don Sinfonietta and used the
Ambrosian Chorus, an English
choral group, to sing both the
white and black choral numbers.
It wasn't planned that way.
Originally, a black chorus from
the Glyndebourne production of
"Porgy and Bess" was to sing the
black choral parts. A problem
developed with the very first lyr-
ics the audience hears when the
curtain goes up. It's a group of
black stevedores singing, "Nig-
gers all work on de Mississippi,
niggers all work while de white
folks play
Those lyrics were from the
original production. By the time
the 1936 film version was re-
leased, the line was changed to
"Darkies all work on de Missis-
sippi The 1946 Broadway ver-
sion had it, "Here we all work on
de Mississippi McGlinn wanted
to use the original lyrics.
The chorus refused and de-
manded changes. McGlinn de-
clined, and he was supported by
the record company.
'The use of the word 'nigger'
is being used specifically to paint
a picture of a desperately cruel
and unhappy time in American
history McGlinn says.
"I would have given up the
chance to make the record if I had
to change the words because one
of the things I felt was that the
piece derived its power from the
fact that it did its best, considering
the conventions of the time, to
look at life truthfully he says.
For Broadway buffs, the re-
cording, which takes up three
compact discs, three records or
three cassettes, is a trove of un-
known music.
There is more than an hour's
worth of material that includes
songs dropped from the produc-
tion, written for the 1928 London
production or the 1936 Irene
Dunne film version or the 1946
Broadway revival for which Kern
composed "Nobody Else But

Smith, 37, was searching his
memory for the genesis of the
storv of how a kid from a small
blue-collar town in the Midwest
found himself in New York City
as co-host of a network morning
news show.

brates its first anniversary this
week. Though it is still struggling
in the ratings behind NBC's

ing America Smith and co-host
Kathleen Sullivan have devel-

the network seems content to let
them develop a following.
The pressure doesn't seem to
get to Smith, the most likely suc-
cessor to Charles Kuralt as CBS'
resident laid-back philosopher.
Smith's feet-on-the-ground
attitude comes from deep Mid-
western roots and a strict reli-
gious upbringing. His father
worked two jobs, as a policeman
and a milkman. Smith was the
youngest of eight children, most
of whom "got married pretty
young and went out into the
world and got real jobs and had
real lives Smith said. "I was the
youngest and kind of a surprise. I
got a little bit more attention than
the other ones did, had a rich fan-
tasy life about doing something
other than going to work at the
Youngstown Sheet and Tool
Most ol those fantasies re-
volved around television.

It took Galileo 16 years to master the universe.
You have one night.
It seems unfair. The genius had all that time. While you have a few
short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the
dreaded astronomy exam.
On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps
keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So
even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp.
If Galileo had used Vivarin, maybe he could have mastered the solar

CHAPEL HILL, N.C (AP) ?
Bv daw Pat Sanford and co-work-
ers at the Orange County Animal
Protection Society are breaking
down beaver dams. And by night,
the animals arc building them
back.
Beavers, virtuallv extinct at
the turn of the century, are swim-
ming their way into urban and
suburban areas like Raleigh, Kan-
napolis, N.C. and Myrtle Beach,
S.C wreaking havoc wherever
they go.
Some people have retaliated
by getting permits to kill the bea-
vers. The Town of Chapel Hill
bought a trap and destroved four.
Ms. Sanford has asked for a
chance to rid them in a more
humane way ? bv luring them
upstream.
"There's no easy answer
Ms. Sanford said. "In this specific
case, we're trying to make the
habitat undesirable. If we kill off
all the beavers there and leave the
habitat, other beavers will move
in. Then you'd have to set up a
system of constantly killing bea-
vers.
"So we're destroying their

colony settled along Booker
Creek of the U.S. 15-501 bypass.

J
deep water is backed up in back-
yards of homes in the Ridgcwood
subdivision.
Sanford said her group's aim
is to drain the lake and keep it
drained even if the beavers repair
their dams. The trick, Sanford
said, is to lay plastic pipes, perfo-
rated with holes, perpendicular to
the dam.

Eighteen bridges, most made

Hilarious libel

NEW YORK (AP) ?A;
dismissed Jackie Mason's el
mt against a Florida woman who
tiled a paternity suit against the
comedian.
U.S. District Judge John
Keenan threw out Mason's law-
suit Monday for lack of personal
jurisdiction.
Mason last vear sued Ginger
Reiter and her mother, Miriam
Oliver, alleging libel, invasion of
privacy, copyright infringement
and unjust enrichment, over a live
stage production Oh Jackie Oh
on which they collaborated.
Ms. Reiter's paternity lawsuit
in Florida is pending. Mason's
attorney. Jay D. Kramer, declined
comment on Monday's ruling,
saying he had not yet seen it.
There was no answer at the
Port Washington offices of Ms.
Reiter's lawyers when called for
comment Monday evening.
"What would you do for
$10,000?"
A committee chose the shav-
ing-cream idea because it created
an atmosphere that was ran but
safe, said Toncv Brooks, president
of Radio One, which owns WLRS.
It the Linkenbergs were un-
successful, the station would
have let the runner-up try his
stunt swimming across the
Ohio River with a bottle of wine
and glasses cemented to a card
table on his back, Brooks said.
Before the Linkenbergs began
their stunt Monday, the carpet
and the furniture in their two-

were covered with plastic.
This was Judy's idea Link-
enberg declared at one point.

beled quote of the

Hate mail makes E return to school
Dr. E.
Right now, 1 only have one
major problem. See, there is a cer-
tain portion of the East Carolinian
that really pisses me off ? your
sorry section! And since you are
finally leaving, after six years, you
have acruallv solved at least one
J
person's problem, my own!
Thank you. 1 truly am glad you're
leaving! Besides, you're not origi-
nal (Copying Morton Downey Jr
come on!)
In utmost disrepect,
Dr. "Nice"
P.S. Get a decent haircut, it's
just not a smartass journalist's
image.
Dear Dr. Dick Head,
Didn't your momma ever tell
vou not to write hate mail? Since
vou didn't sien vour letter or
address your envelope, I feel obli-
gated to give you a fitting nomen-
clature and thus ? Dick Head.
In the past, some have called
the E an incompetent 8-year-old.
Some have called the E a user of
scatological language. Some have
said E is a sexist individual. But
never has the E been so offended
as when he read this vixenous
conspiracy contrived within the
babbling rivers of Hades.
So like any fine, outstanding
yellow journalist from the citadels
of integrity, the E went home to
eat turkey. While gorging on a
folk load of white meat, E turned
to Dad and said "I have been of-
fended by a lowly virulent scum
who has no sense of good satirical
advice
Stabbing the plated hill of
stuffing with a surge of boiled
blood, Senior E glared at Junior E
authoritatively, "Return to the
domainsof the Emerald City, sock
a second degree and resume your
Big E column
So, just for you Dick Head,
I'm back.
P.S. That is really a good anal-
ogy you used, cooaring the E to
Morton Down r. It makes so
much sense. Do . ney is on syndi-
cated T.V. (making millions) dis-
cussing the political ramifications
of handgun control while the Big
E (not making jackshit) is burning
the midnight oil at this college
paper writing to a person he
hates. You are probably one of
these people who has problems
distinguishing between black and
white.
P.P.S. If you really think I
wear my hair as pictured, you
must have the same mentality as
one of those highschool mutants
who park at the Fast Fare on Fri-
day nights.
And another thing I am not a
doctor, I just play one on T.V.

I have a bad sickness?
Dirt Eater
Dear E,
I love to eat. I eat food. I eat al-
most everything. My problem is
that I have started to eat a lot of
non-food products. It started
about a month ago when I was
brushing my teeth. The more I
brushed, the more I liked the taste
of Close-up, so I ate the whole
tube.
After the Close-up experi-
ence, I tried the bathroom soap
and to my surprise it tasted like

Dear Dirt Eater,
No, you are perfectly normal.

last week.
Anti-State
Dear Earlvis,
Several weeks ago, I visited
the N.C. State campus. The stu-
dents over there told me that they
are much smarter and better lov-
ers than ECU students. Earlvis, is
this true? What do they know that
we don't know?
Signed, Wolfpack envy
Dear Frank,
First of all, you have to under-
stand the mentality of a State (I'm
sorry, Raleigh Farm Institute is
not deserving of upper case let-
ters, from now on it will be ?
state) student. Since state's main
focus has always been agricul-
ture, most state students major in
Farming and subsequently spend
a lot of time with pigs and cows. In
the barnyard, I guess it is true,
they are smarter and do make
better lovers.
Dateless
BigE,
I am the only person I know
who doesn't have a boyfriend. My
friends say I'm pretty and fun to
be with. I don't understand what
the problem is.
At parties and downtown,
cute guys always ask me to dance
all night long and eventually to go
home with them. Sometimes I go,
sometimes I don't. I never like to
be a flirt and I'm not very obvious
when I'm around someone I'm
interested in. But I don't under-
stand it when guys don't ask me
out. If I attract them so easily and
have a good time (not what you're
thinking of a good time) bu t really
have fun, why don't they call me?
Signed,
Wanting Someone to Love
Dear Young and Reststop,
So, you don't know anybody
who doesn't have a boyfriend.
My, my. Sounds like either you
hang around a lot of fags or a lot of
whores.
Sorry for that out burst. A lot
of guys are reluctant to ask a
female out unless the girl lays
some subtle or not so subtle hints.
Here's some examples: "Hey,
what are you doing this week-
end?" "Gee, I haven't been to a
nice restaurant in a long time
"You know the last good movie I
saw was Gone With the Wind
Or how about the blunt ap-
proach: "Wanta come over and
tilt some aluminum and vacuum
some bingers?" or if you aren't
into brain cell damage say
"Wanta come over and gurgle
some Pepsi and pig on some
twinkies?" Or, if you aren't into
the glucose scene, say, "Wanta
come over and read some Vergil
and recite some Homer?" Or, if
you aren't into becoming a total
dweeb, say, "Wanta come?"
You see, the possiblities are end-
less.
Dear Big E,
We had a major virgin friend
last year, who was deathly afraid
of curing his problem. He was
even afraid to share hisbed with a
girl when he was asked to. For the
sake of hiding his name, we will
call him "Special K The problem
began whe he met what is now his
first girlfriend, we will call her
"Helga
"Special K" is so whipped
"Helga" made him drop out of the
fraternity he was pledging. She
won't even let him read the "Big
E" column because she is afraid he
will get wise to her. He is also
doing very dumb things. During
Halloween, she made him dress
up as a raisin and he hates raisins.
She also uses his head as a foot rest
on the bus.
His grades are suffering and
he has even missed a mid-term
exam because of her.
His attitude has changed en-
tirely. He use to listen to good
music, now he listens to satanic
cult chants and Bible stories. His
dressing style changed from
Izod's to torn jeans with putrid
green sports coat with an orange
scarf.
Although all this is bad, the
real problem is that she won't let
him party with his friends. This is
causing much concern because
we have heard rumors that she is
making him have a vasectomy
because she doesn't like con-
doms.
It would be a different story if
his girlfriend even looked half-
way good, but she is a roadbeast
from Hell.
We hope you can give him
some advice and with any luck at
all he will read your column.
Signed
Men Against Road Beasts.
Dear Guy With the Whipped
Friend,
So she made him dress up like
a raisin, hilarious. It's a shame
when good friends get whipped.
Have you ever noticed whipped
people insist on calling their girl
friendsboy friends every ten
minutes just to ask stupid ques-
tions? It's kind of like the ten-
minute ticker of stupidity. "What
have you been doing? Really,
what kind of tooth brush did you
brush your teeth with?"
In "Special K's" particular
case, it sounds like we have lost
another Bush clone to the Neo-
hippies. All the way from a frat
boy to a hallucinogenic highway
can man. This may be an lrrever-
sable personalitv trait but let's try
this.
Hey Special K, yeah this is the
Big E, can I ask you some ques-
tions?
When is the last time Helga
shaved her underarms?
The last time you and Helga
had a fight, who lost and was
forced to drive to the store and
purchase some feminine hy-
giene?
Have you ever been told that
when you talk on the phone with
Helga that you sound likea plead-
ing baby?
Have you, Special K, ever
been forced to listen to The Grate-
ful Dead against your will?
Special K, if you are in our
reading vortex please answer
these questions and I will deter-
mine the severity of your Helga
obsession.

Squirrel Man commits suicide in jail
GREENVILLE, N.C. (BP) ?
The strange saga of Greenville's
"squirrel man" is finally at its end.
The monster apparently commit-
ted suicide in the Greenville Jail
cell that was his home during the
last weeks of his life.
Klicky-Klicky, the squirrel
creature from another dimension
accused of murder, maintained
his innocence to the end. He re-
peatedly told authorities of an evil
twin brother who was responsible
for several area murders.
Whether or not he was right
remains to be seen. Klicky was
pronounced dead on arrival at
Pitt Memorial Hospital Wednes-
day night. The coroner's official
reports indicate that the death
was a suicide.
Klicky was found in his jail
cell Wednesday afternoon. A rope
was tied around his neck. "He
was hanging a couple feet off the
ground when I got there Police
Chief Gordon O'Hara said during
a press conference. "I knew his
neck was broke the minute I saw
him. But he hung on until we got
him cut down
O'Hara said that Klicky mut-
tered one word before he lost
conciousness completely.
"Sounded like 'Omohundro or
some such thing. I didn't make
head or tail um he stops for a
moment, in respect for the dead
creature he came to know as a
friend. "I didn't know what it

A memorial service is being
held Saturday afternoon in Fick-
len stadium after ECU's com-
mencement services. The event is
being held by the Pitt County
SPCA.
Next semester, The East Caro-
linian will run a series of inter-
views with Klicky, recorded sev-
eral days before his death. The
series will run next semester for as
many weeks as the public lets us.
The transcripts of the inter-
view reveal much of Micky's life
before he came to our dimension,
his viewpoint on life here and
details of his tragic last days of
life.
Anyone with info.mation
concerning the meaning of the
squirrel man's last word, or sight-
ings of the elusive evil twin, are
urged to call The East Carolinian at

McFerrin assaulted
NEW YORK, NY (BP) ? Pop
star Bobby McFerrin, who rose to
fame this fall with his hit video
and song "Don't Worry, Be
Happy was assaulted by almost
100 people today in his New York
apartment.
McFerrin was beaten, tied up,
covered in excrement and forced
to watch as the group of vigilantes
calling themselves Seventy
People Against Musical Sht,
SPAMS, tortured his pet canary
and destroyed his apartment.
The leader of SPAMS, Craig
Drivel, issued a statement to the
press. "We had to take action.
That inane song continues to be
played across the nation. It's re-
ally an evil song
The release explained that the
"admittedly catchy" tune and
"chuckleheaded lyrics" meant to
inspire optimism in the public
conciousness had the opposite
effect on many people. "I person-
ally would go into a kitten-stran-
gling rage whenever I heard the
first few notes play on the radio
Drivel said.
Drivel said he went before
Congress in an attempt to halt all
airplay of the song legally, but
"the senators and reps, were all
humming and tapping their pen-
cils as they heard the proposal'
he said. 1 found out later that
President Reagan liked the song
and ordered it played every hour
on the hour on the Muzak systems
in all government buildings
The SPAMS leader also cred-
its the Republican election victory
to the song. "It was a devious
campaign ploy. People heard the
song and thought 'Hey. Things
must be good right now. I'll vote
Republican he said.
Though Drivel had the single
checked by several studios, he
found no backwards masking to
help support his claim. Desperate
for an end to the "optimism mad-
ness he felt was taking over the
country, he formed SPAMS and
planned the attack on McFerrin as
a public protest.
After the assault, McFerrin
was taken to a nearby hospital. Al-
though the diagnoses was shock,
McFerrin seemed cheerful as he
smiled at reporters before being
wheeled into the operating room.

Study says college gambling uncontrollable
GREENVILLE, N.C. (BP) ?
College gambling is getting out of
control, a government study
shows. The study, conducted by
ECU Director of Such Studies
Rhea Searcher, says that college
students will place bets on "just
about anything
The study was conducted in
the form of a survey. Participants
were asked questions such as
"Have you ever gambled? If so,
was it with money? How much?
Would you bet on the ECU foot-
ball team? Would you take the
under on an intramural game?
Would you bet that Dan Quayle
will ever have an original idea?"
"Those that answered ques-
tions positively have been recom-
mended to school psychologists
for treatment Searcher said.
"But they are proving to be diffi-
cult patients

compulsive gambler. Dr. Cra-
