Budget cuts face
university again
ECU News Bureau
ECO has imposed a blanket
hiring freeze on all non-faculty
positions and is taking addi-
tional "strong measures" tocope
with a worsening budget crisis.
With a goal of savingat least
S! 7 million in the next two
months, the university will al-
low employees to take leaves of
absence without pay but with
benefits intact Dr. Richard R.
Eakin, ECU chancellor, said
there would be no layoffs "or
any action that would sacrifice
academic integrity or the qual-
ity of instruction
"I sincerely regret that these
austerity measures must be
enacted .but there is no choice
Fa kin said.
He called tor "cooperation
oi the entire university commu-
nity in view of the fad that
state allotments to ECU tor the
last six months of the fiscal year
mean that "31 percent of our
remaining operating hinds can-
not be spent
He said the fourth quarter
funding allotment was reduced
by more than $4 million and is
113 percent less than estimated
needs.
"The financial problem we
face is severe Eakin said. "It
can onlv be solved by strong ac-
tions He said the additional
cost-saving measures would
help bring the university "into
the best possible financial posi-
tion, albeit probably short of a
full solution to the problem
Eakin said the complete
hiring freeze for all state-funded,
non-faculty positions tempo-
rary, permanent and student
would be in effect at least until
lulv 1. No new employees may
begin employment prior to July
1 but he said all prior commit-
ments will be honored.
Divisional vice chancellors
will review and approve all
purchase orders for operational
supplies and equipment and

chases must be considered "to

By Samantha Thompson
Staff Writer
In the Student Government
Association's last meeting of the
year, the SGA secretarv-elect was
officially removed from the body,
disqualifying her from any kind of
SGA interaction for one year. The
legislature also approved the
annual approprations for luc0-
1991 with many complications.
Along with several other SGA
members, SGA Secretarv-elect
Christine Allabach was removed
from the SGA as she missed her
seventh SGA meeting. The SGA
rules state that when a member
fails to attend three meetings
without excuses or six meetings
both excused and unexcused, they
are dismissed from the body.
Furthermore, they cannot
participate in any SGA meetings,
even if they are elected or
appointed to an S( !A office.
Since Allabac h ran unopposed
in the last election, a new SGA
secretary will be elected next fall.
The 1990-1991 Tentative
Annual Budget passed by a voice
vote after it was unfabled from last
week's meeting by Legislator
Barbara Lamb.
The legislature entered the
second round of negative debate
on an amendment which would
cut funds for N.C. Student
Legislature
Legislator Marty Helms made
the motion to decrease 'CSL's
annual funding from $2,430 to
$1,660 in last week's mooting.
Legislator Beth Howard began
the debate saving that the decrease
would hurt ECU's delagation and
that they needed the funding to
recruit new members since they

The East Carolinian looks ahead
As the semester conies to an end, we must
evaluate ourselves. We, as students, are in a time
ot transition in our lives, and it is important to
mark our progress and set new goals for the im-
mediate future. As managing editor oi The East
Carolinian, 1 would like to take this opportunity to
reflect back on the semester here at the newspa-
per.
This year has brought new changes to the
newspaper ? ones that I feel are positive and
appealing to the reader. The editorial staff has
joined together in mi attempt to provide timely
news, features and sports to the campus and
community. Although far from perfect, we are
getting better and better. After attending a na-
tional journalism convention in New Orleans in
November, I realized that ECU'S student newspa-
per is quite competitive with other campus news-
papers. We have one of the few completely stu-
dent-operated publications, which is something
to be proud of.
With that in mind, 1 began my duties as
managing editor in January, and I decided I was
going to push the staff for all they were worth. In
one semester, the editors of 77k East Carolinian
have worked and grown together to acheive a
common goal: to better serve you, the reader.
Since this is my last night as managing
editor, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude
to some of my fellow emplovees.
Caroline Cusick, with her biblical verses
and John Tucker, with his progressive band re-
views have blended together their contrasting
personalities to enhance and broaden the features
section. John finishes up in summer school and
will move on to pursue a career in journalism. He
passes his postion on to Deanna Nevgloski who
has been a staff writer since last fall. With one se-
mester to go at ECU, Caroline plans to stay on as
features editor.
In the sports section, a new assistant edi-
tor will take lorn Barry's place as he goes home to
Miami for the summer. (I'd go home, too!) His
sucessor has not vet been named. Hditor Mike
Martin will take my place as managing editor. The
readers ot flic East Carolinian can expect to see a
terrific newspaper under Mike's leadership. Good
luck to him in all his endeavors in the months to
come. Mike will be replaced as sports editor by
Doug Johnson.
1 must give an extra-special thanks to the
news section and Hditor Joey nkins for keeping
me up every production night waiting for him to
finish his section. As my counselor and mv dinner
buddy, loey has managed to get me through when
all else failed. Joey will serve as general manager
during the summer, as David Herring will join the
staff at USA TODAY as an intern. Joey will return
to his position in the news department in the fall.
In the meantime, Carrie Armstrong, editor of The
Entertainer, will take his place. Margi Morin, our
newest editor, will keep her position as assistant
editor of the news section.
My thanks go also to Scott Maxwell, Steve
Reid, Jimmy McKee, Pam Cope, Stuart Rosner,
Beth Lupton, Jeff Parker, Adam Cornelius and all
the other staff at The Eastt Carolinian.
The East Carolinian has assessed where it is
going. Now for each individual, each graduate,
each student, it's time to look within ourselves
and evaluate where we have been, where we are
i.nd most importantly, where we are going.

To the Editor
Questioning party reputation
To the editor:
The East Carolinian's edito-
rial last Thursday evoked the
nagging myth that ECU was
picked by Playboy magazine as a
"party school The editorial was
even morespecific in reporting "It
was just four years ago that the
university waslabeled the nation's
No. 1 party school by Playboy
magazine.
This Playboy party school
story has been around for at least
25 years. Some alumni who were
here in the 1960s have sworn it
really happened, but I've never
seen a clipping or anything else to
prove thisdesignation ever existed.
The Playboy issue, awarding
this title to ECU, would be a wel-
comed addition to ECU's collec-
tion of historic papers and manu-
scripts, if it really exists, and if
anyone cares to track it down.
Otherwise, the taleshould be cred-
ited to where it belongs ? in the
ECU Folklore Archive.
Except for misinformation
about the party school, the opin-
ion expressed in the editorial was
well stated.

The greening of Greenville
By Nathaniel Mead
Editorial Columnist
Yesterday millions of Ameri-
cans convened to celebrate Earth
in all its magnificence. For many
here in Greenville, the event rep-
resented a kind of birth-of-the-
earth d a chance to revel in the
beauty of thisorve-and-only green
planet and to consider ways to
keep it beautiful. The gathering at
Greenville's River Park North,
which attracted about 5,000
people, ottered citizens a chance
to explore a new ecological vision
and to ponder the emerging trans-
formation away from the rank
consumerismol the last two dec
ades toward a greener,gentler life-
style in this decade
Even a tew GuppieS (green
yuppies, also called ,n ecoyups)
arrived at River Park North to
tickle their kens with reams of in-
formation on our ailing environ-
ment. One titillating tidbit: the
energy saved by recycling one
aluminum can is enough to keep a
60 watt lightbulb lit tor three hours!
And despite the idiotic utterances
by certain mainstream publica-
tionsoverthe weekend?one I SA
Today editor spoke ot people
impassioned to preserve Nature
as "eco-geeks" there was no
evidence oi what USA today
called "greenoia the tendency to
obsess on the environment.
What moved me most about
Earth Dav was its highly positive
focus. Recurrent themes included
respect and appreciation for the
natural world, love and justice for
all species, and developing a deep
affinity with Nature. The drama
by "Earth Day Players the -
radeot Animals" (in honor ot "All
Species Pav and "Council ot
Creatures were all designed to
promote a more personal sense ot
Nature, to encourage an imagi-
nary but heartfelt dialogue with
other species who have pist as
much a right to exist on this Manet
as we do. Standing at the top of
the tood chain is fine as long as the
motives are derived from need
instead ot greed.
Farth I )ay was also an oppor-
tunity to renew concern and share
responsibility tor an incredible
problem. As learly stated in the
Worldwatch Institute's 1990State
of the World Report (by tar the
most coherent, up to date work
on global ecology, published mail
tin world's major languages), our
natural environment is coming
rapidly unraveled, not just in the
polluted Pamlico River Estuary or
the acidified forests atop Mount
Mitchell, but all over the globe.
Fromour relatively cozy academic
niche here in Greenville, Nature
seems safe, sure, and secure. But
on closer inspection it appears
we're in deep trouble and digging
in deeper every second, because'
oi rainforest devastation, for ex-
ample, about fifteen species be-
come extinct every dav!
The question ot the da not
just Earth Day, but every dav is
whether we care enough for Earth
to save our own sorrv hides by
stopping our abusive ways. We
need to acknowledge, first, the
enormous magnitude oi the mess,
and second, our role in creating it.

Professor defends registration
To the editor
This is in response to Ms. Kelly
Easterling's letter in the April 19
issue regarding the registration
system. Ms. Easterling raises a
number of excellent points, and I
applaud her thoughtful approach
to a major problem.
I have been teaching at ECU
tor seven years and serving as an
academic advisor, in various ca-
pacities, for six. The registration
system has improved dramatically
during that period. (Eew current
students remember the old pre-
compiler system, which pro-
duced lines that started in the
Memorial Gym and ran all the
way around the Brewster Build-
ing.) But Ms. Easterling is right:
the system isn't working well
enough.
This state of affairs has sev-
eral causes. One is the failure of
many faculty to take the duties of
advising seriously. There is little
tangible incentive to doa good job
of ad vising, and the sad fact is that
in the absence of tangible incen-
tives some professors, like some
students, won't do their jobs. More
than one of my colleagues think
that advising consists of hanging
an envelope full of signed forms
on one's office door.
The problem is exacerbated
by students who, deliberately or
otherwise, pervert the system.
Students miss appointments,
show up late, and do all sorts of
bizarre end runs around their
advisors. Toooften studentsdon't
bother to acquaint themselves with
the requirements of their pro-
grams, and ignore the simplest
instructions the catalogue and
their advisors give them, I'm not
burned out on advising vet
though, as on can set Pmgetting
singed around the edges But 1
understand why colleagues
who'vebeen here fifteen or twenty
years regard registration week as
an ordeal
Ms. Easterling comments
perceptively on the frustrating
realities ol closed classes. I'm
atraid her solution, a big increase
in the size of the faculty, isn't likely
to be adoptee! in the near future.
But we could alleviate the prob-
lem considerably by controlling
one major aspect oi it: the absurd
frequency with which students
drop courses. In the history de-
partment, which I think is fairly
typical, more than 350 under-
graduates drop courses in the
average semester. That's the
equivalent oi ten sections ? sec-
tions that don't need to be taught.
There are plenty of legitimate
reasons for d ropping a course, bu t
at ECU the practice has become an
addictive habit. No registration
system can work properly under
such circumstances.
All parties can improve the
situation bv doing their best to
make the system work. Advisors:
Keep extended office hours dur-
ing registration week, like vou're
supposed to do. Never sign any
schedule without checking the
student's file to ensure that the
schedule advances the student's
progress, and never sign a blank
form. Computer operators: Fol-
low the rules. Never enroll a stu-
dent in a course the advisor hasn't
approved. Students: Keep your
appointments. Study and under-
stand the catalogue. Think seri-
ously about the courses you want
to take, discuss them with v
d isor, but don't expei t
advisor to do all the thinking I
you. It you have doubts al
taking a course, go see the
professor m advance. Don'l
up tor it and drop it on th l
clav ot class because you'vi
covered it requires readme
and writing papers. When .
signed up tor that course you
probably took a seat awav. fi

that getting good advising doesn't
always mean getting to run your
academic career exactly as you d
like. A good advisor may stop) ou
from taking courses you want to
take and dropping courses you
want to drop.
1 am convinced that ECU'S
registration system is fundamen-
tally sound and constantly im-
proving. It will work reasonabb
well if all parties try to make it
work. If they don't the advisors,
administrators, and computer
operators won't be punished

Taxpayers ban together; demand to 'cut the deck'
'Public choice" economics
uses fancy language to tell a famil-
? message: in our system of
government, thecardsarestacked
against taxpayers.
Public choice economists say
that because recipients of a gov-
ernment spending are numerous
and spread out, recipients have
the upper hand in policy debates.
They have a large amount of
money or government help at
stake, and an incentive to keep up
with legislation as it works it wav
through the labyrinthine halls (if
government.
But taxpayers, who may be
out only a few dollars if a particu-
lar program is enacted, typically
don't follow these policy debates
as closely. While new spending
programs, if added together, can
take quite a bite out of our wallets,
each individual one is hardly no-
ticeable. That's why a public offi-
cial may receive hundreds of calls
or letters supporting a spending
program and none opposing it.
Over the past few years, how-
ever, a new kind of pressure group
has sprung up in North Carolina
and around the country to re-
shuttle thespendingdeck. Known
as taxpayers unions or citizen as-
sociations, these organizations
typically try to oppose wasteful
government Spending and make
sure services are delivered fairly
and efficiently.
In North Carolina, these
groups usually havea specific local
focus. In Folk Countv, a western
county home to many retirees and
to the most lavishly funded schtxl
system in the state. The Polk
County Taxpayers Association has
been working in recent weeks to
combat wasteful school spending.

propose lists o( workable solu-
tions, the Bush-league govern-
ment responds with, "Okav guys,
but let'sdomorestudies Inother
words, procrastinate, delay the
solutions, and delude the public
with more risk analyses. This
milquetoast approach, practiced
so artfully by our broccoli-hating,
Texasoilman president, does noth-
ing but put more money in the
coffers oi transnational corpora-
tions, who basically own George
the burning" Bush and his White
louse1 cronies.
Let's face it, if we had a true
democracy, the government
would be acting in the interests oi
the people, not in the interests (i
the fossil fuel and nuclear indus-
tries. If we had true democracy,
our Department of Energy would
have a division for solar and other
renewable energy technologies. If
we had true democracy, there
would be laws against corporate
ownership of wilderness, not to
mention the mass media. Imagine
if all our media began focussing
on and sensationalizing the al-
ready-proven solutions to Earth's
crises?we'd clean up the planet
in no time flat.
To regain our inalienable right
to live on a clean, fertile Earth, we
will have to create a revolution in
our own personal lives, to start
living in ways that preserve and
enhance the beauty of the bio-
sphere. And as we attend to those
seemingly trivial choices we make
in everyday life, we must also
beware of those powerful people
who would like to "develop" our
communities in the name of "in-
dustrial progress These people
are everywhere, and their prime
interest is the mighty dollar. They
tend to couch their arguments in
obtuse, technical jargon and with
bland assurances that the chance
of catastrophe is small. Chances
are, they have no interest in the
health, the integrity, or even the
existence of the place you know as
home?your neighborhood or
community. Be prepared to think
globally and fight locally. The real
work begins here, today.
residents who attend the recently
merged Tryon City-Polk County
school system. In part because of
pressure from the association, the
board of education enacted a $238
per household tuition requirement
in March for South Carolina fami-
lies whose students atten school
there.
But Polk taxpayers are still
unsatisfied, because students al-
ready enrolled are "frandfathered"
and therefore do not have to pay.
Also, the tuition, while apparently
equal to the school system's local
supplement, obviously does not
reimburse the state for its contri-
bution to the education of South
Carolinians.
Polk residents are also con-
cerned about other spending is-
sues and tax rates; the taxpayers
association says that the county
has the highest per capita intan-
gibles tax in the state.
Frequently, the underlying
questions these groups are ask-
ing about local spending projects
are: who benefits and who pays?
In Charlotte, a group called Citi-
zens For Effective Government is
questioning the city's plans to
spend up to $43 million on land
and parking for a new football
stadium. At a time when city offi-
cials are proposing tax hikes to
fund basic services, complains
Don Reid, the group's president,
Charlotte is planning to spend
money on a sports stadium that
won't help most taxpayers.
"There is a definite lack of
foresight by our current commis-
sioners says Norris Dearmon, a
member of Concered Citizens for
Cabarrus County. Cost overruns
and unneeded construction has
been the rule more than theexcep-
tion, says Dearmon, who is now
running for a seat on the county
commission.
While some taxpayers and
citizens groups do field candidates
and become heavily involved in
political campaigns, others rely on
media attention and grassroots
contacts to call attention to their
issues. A lawsuit was the strategy
chosenby WayneCounty Citizens
for Better Tax Control to oppose
the county's decision to borrow
$6.3 million for renovations of the
courthouse in Goldsboro. The
board did not submit the proposal
to a referendum. The taxpayers
group contends that the North
Carolina constitution prohibits
local governments from incurring
debts without the approval of
voters.
In these cases. North Carolina
taxpayers have banded together
to challenge the conventional view
that only the beneficiaries of gov-
ernment largesse care enough to
lobby and publicize their cause.
Their message is that local gov-
ernments can no longer deal with
impunity ? that taxpayers will
demand to cut the deck.

Lebanese captors release
American Robert Polhill
FRANKFURT, West Germany
(AP) ? The first American re
leased bv pro-Iranian Lebanese
captors in nearly 3 12 years, a
frail-looking Robert Polhill,
walked slowly off a plane Mon-
day after winning freedom with
the aid of Syria and Iran.
The 55-year-old educator's
release Sunday after 1,182 days oi
captivity was followed bv a re-
ported call bv Iran's foreign min-
ister for a swift reciprocal move
freedom for a Shiite Moslem dene
kidnapped by Israeli troops injury.
President Bush thanked Iran
and Syria ? whose military forces
in Lebanon picked up Polhill in
west Beirut and drove him to the
Syrian capital of Damascus - for
their help in securing the release
But the president said he would
make no deals with the pro-Ira
nian Shiite Moslem militants in
1 ebanon still holding 17 Western
hostages, seven oi them Ameri-
cans.
An Iranian newspaper close
to that country s president,
Hashemi Rafsanjam, Monda)
called on the Lebanese kidnap
pers to release another American
hi'stage immediately and without
conditions
Rafsanjani is among so-called
pragmatic Iranian leaders seeking
better relations with the West and
the Bush administration has ex-
pressed a willingness to improve
ties if the hostage crisis is settled
Polhill. a New Yorker, looked
extremely frail Monday and was
hunched over as he came down
the steps of the U.S. Air Force C-
141 at Rhein-Main air base in a
cold rain.
He was dressed in a miluar
camouflage jacket and carried a
football given to him as "a touch
of America under one arm dur-
ing the short walk to a military
van
About two dozen people
nearbv applauded, and the gaunt
Polhill responded with a wave. A
helicopter whisked the freed hos-
tage and his Lebanese wife, Fer-
val, to a U.S. military hospital in
nearbv Wiesbaden.
"Welcome home, pray for the

Democrats propose budget
WASHINGTON (AP) ?
Congressional Democrats are
puttingtogethera 1991 budget that
ignores a flagging economy and
relies in part on dubious savings,
the White House budget director
siys.
The budget chief, Richard
Darman, said Friday that Demo-
cratic spending plans under con-
sideration are "not imple-
mentablc" because they fail to take
administration preferences into
account. But also said the attitude
of leading congressional lawmak-
ers toward budget negotiations
with the administration is improv-
ing.
"It's highly likely we could
move to negotiations in a matter
of weeks said Darman. who has
been pressing for such talks since
President Bush submitted his 1991
spending plan in January.
Darman's comments, made in
a session with reporters, marked a
continuation of his attempt to
insert the administration into
Democratic efforts to write a
budget for the vear that begins
Oct. 1.
The House Budget Commit-
tee adopted a Democratic-written
$1.24 trillion budgeton Thursday,
7 J '
and the panel's Senate counter-
part plans to begin its own work
next week.
Darman called the House
document "a slide-bv budget"
lacking serious deficit reduction,
the same criticism Democrats have
leveled at the White House's own
proposals
What Democrats and
President Bush propose
to spend on defense:
In billions

Keith Carter, Gannett News Service
plan.
He said the Democratic plan,
which claims to reduce next year's
deficit by $36 billion, relieson $9.3
billion in savings that Democrats
themselves have called question-
able. These include improved tax
collections, user fees that have
been rejected before and "inter-
esting other gimmicks he said.
Darman said the Bush admini-
stration now believes next year's
deficit will be $8.5 billion to more
than $20 billion worse than the
SI00.5 billion shortfall it projected
in January. He attributed this to
the economy's worse-than-ex-
pected performance in recent
months.
The Gramm-Rudman law sets
a $64 billion shortfall target for
fiscal 1991.
Darman criticized Democrats
for not adjusting their proposal to
account for the poorer economic
figures. The Democratic plan calls
for $36 billion in deficit reduction,
rather than the minimum of $45
billion Darman said is reallv
J
needed.
When President Bush intro-
duced his budget in January,
Capitol Hill Democrats said he
had used unrealistic economic
projections.
"They were right Darman
said. But he added that in writing
their own budget package, "They
have decided they will ignore
that
The better the economy per-
forms, the more taxes the govern-
ment collects and the smaller the
federal deficit.

Chairman Leon Panetta, D-Calif

Babangida's troops
stop assassination
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - Mili-
tary ruler Gen. Ibrahim Babangida
appeared fi.mly in control of this
West African nation Monday af-
ter narrowly escaping death in a
coup attempt.
President Babangida said his
troops had crushed a coupattempt
Sunday after fierce fighting with
rebel soldiers, who said they aimed
to end domination oi the govern-
ment bv Moslem northerners.
Traffic jammed the roads of
the sprawling coastal capital
Monday, and the only extraordi-
nary security in sight was around
Bonny Camp on Victoria Island,
whererebelscaptured in the failed
coupattempt were believed held.
Senior commanders and other
members of Babangida's Armed
Forces Ruling Council pledged
their support to the president
Sunday evening.
The mutineers, led bv middle-
ranking officers, attacked before
dawn Sunday in the West African
nation's capital and engaged loy-
alist forces for about 1 hours in
gun and mortar battles.
They captured state-run Ra-
dio Nigeria offices and announced
that the government had been
overthrown. But Babangida's
forceslater retook the station after
what state media described as
"heavy bombardment and spo-
radic shooting
There was no word on how-
many people were killed in the
fighting, but reporters said casu-
alties appeared heavy.
The fighting began at 2 a.m.
Sunday with an attack on Dodan
Barracks, the military headquar
ters where Babangida has his resi-
dence.
The president escaped mo-
ments before his residence was
shelled, according to government
sources.
Babangida then fled to Bonny
Camp to direct a counterattack by
loval forces. The coup attempt
failed as senior commanders in
other regions of the country went
on the radio to declare their sup-
port for Babangida.
Witnessesalso reported heavy
fighting around State House
Gunfire was reported at several
other military installations in the
city of 6 million on the Atlantic
Ocean.
Babangida said his aide, Lt.
Col. U. K. Bello. was killed in the
gunbattleat the mill tare headquar-
ters, the oUJcul News Agency of
Nigeria reported.
"The unfortunate situation in
Lagos Monday morning has been
brought under control
Babangida told reporters Sunday
night. There were no reports oi
fighting elsewhere in Nigeria.
Babangida said many rebel
soldiers had been arrested and
would soon face trial, but he did
not give any specific figure.

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) -
A group oi junior army officers
tried to topple the military gov-
ernment Monday with a series of
attacks but loyalist forces crushed
the revolt, Sudanese sources and
news reports said
lt was the second reported
attempt in a month to overthrow
the ruling junta in this Fast Afn
can nation, which is led by Lt.
Gen. Omar Hassan el-Bashir
The Sudanese sources, who
spoke on condition of anonymity,
said the attempted coup began at
midnight and the rebels tried to
take over Khartoum airport and
official government radio but wirr
quickly overpowered.
The number of arrests was not
immediately known, nor was there
word on the extent oi casualties
The sources said st.i1 offi-
cers tried to shoot their way into
the armed for es general
mand in Khartoum, apparently in
search of el-Bashir, but could not
get through the front gate They
said a guard at the general com
mand was wounded in the hand

was masterminded bv some re-
tired officers. It did not identify
them.
Mercury linked to problems
RALEIGH (AP) ? Although
thereisno hard scientific evidence
linking mercury in dental fillings
to health problems, foes of the
substance say there is no proof
that the amalgam fillings are safe
either.
The mercury-curious were
beckoned to a recent international
symposium by pamplets, books
and videotapes costing $3.50 to
$67.30 with titles like "Silver
Dental Fillings ?The Toxic Time
Bomb" and "Infertility and Birth
Defects ? Dental Amalgam a
Hidden Cause?"
"I think what weattempted to
do in this conference was to bring
the best evidence that we had to a
public forum said Michael Hom-
ing, a Durham dentist and mod-
erator of the symposium.
Homing, who described him-
self as one of the more moderate
anti-amalgamists, said there is
evidence of patients withdramatic
recoveries even from multiple
sclerosis.
"I have had one very nice
cure he said, adding, "But the
firm diagnosis of MS was never
made in that case
Each nugget of evidence link-
ing mercury with anything from
depression and divorce to cata
racts and constipation drew ap
plause. Each barb aimed at the
American Dental Association
drew knowing chuckles
Such daimsdraw attacks from
the ADA and conventional den
fists, who accuse amalgam toes of
using scare tactics to fatten their
wallets by replacing durable sil-
ver with more expensive materi-
als that would have to be replaced
more often.
"It's just never-ending trouble
for us said Dr. Enid Neidle, di-
rector of scientific affairs for the
ADA. "We believe that it is the
most cost-effective, safest, forgiv-
ing dental restorative material. We
are absolutely persuaded that it's
safe, and yet we are constantly
having to reply to this stra w man
"It's really unfortunate that
somebody with Alzheimer's or
leukemia or multiple sclerosis
would be led to believe that this is
the cause oi the disease or might
amount to a cure said William
Potter, counsel for the North Caro-
lina Dental Society.
He said some mercury foes
charge $1,500 for a consultation
and otter to diagnose problems bv
mail for $300.
Fleming admitted there is
scant evidence to prove mercury
trom fillings causes any disease.
"I think in some sense's the
ADA is correct in that there
seems to bo a scarcity of studies

health problems said Homing
"But they have no studies proving

Vessel search unsuccessful
PORTSMOUTH (AP) ? An
18-hour search for a vessel re-
ported missing off Cape Hatteras,
N.C turned up no sign of the craft
or the five people on board, the
Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard searched for
the vessel until about midnight
Sunday, said Lloyd Nelson, chief
petty officer with the Coast
Guard's Fifth District in
Portsmouth. The search resumed
early Monday, an official at the
Cape Hatteras Coast Guard office
said.
Ham radio operators in Bel-
gium and Spain overheard a
Mayday call from the vessel, Nel-
son said Sunday. The Belgian
operator notified the Coast Guard
in his country, which notified the
U.S. Coast Guard at 4:06 a.m.
Sunday, he said.
A Coast Guard cutter, heli-
copter and airplane began search-
ing at 6a.m. Sunday for the craft at
6 a.m. Sunday and an airplane
with radar continued to search
Sunday night.
Nelson said the call said the
vessel was flooding and those on
board were preparing to abandon
ship and get into a small dinghy.
Those on board also said they
would shoot two red rocket flares
before abandoning the vessel. The
flares were not spotted.
Nelson said the word Ocean
may be the partial name of the
craft. He said the Coast Guard
was trying to learn the vessel's full
name.

pointed in the kind of medical
attention they have been given
Barbara Roebuck, a 49-year-
old Blacksburg, Va woman, falls
into theJatter category. Mrs. Roe-
btick became "desperately ill" a
year after she had extensive den-
tal work after an automobile acci-
dent, said her husband, Basil
Roebuck, r7. She had abdominal
pain, put on weight, became le-
thargic and sometimes would
become totally breathless just
walking across a room, Roebuck
said.
Mrs. Roebuck suffered mis-
carnages, monthly hemorrhaging
and finally had a hysterectomy in
which surgeons found tumors in
her pelvis. Roebuck said. At one
point her gall bladder was re-
moved and doctors found she had
the kind of liver dysfunction asso-
ciated with heavy drinking, al-
though she never touched alco-
hol. '
Eventually, she had her rner-
cury-amalgam fillings removed
and began to improve, Roebuck
said.
It's incontestable that mer-
cury is a poison Roebuck said.
So why give people their own
particular dump of it?"
Beneath the emotional war is
a scientific battle over the signiti-
i anceof medical ev idence for both
sides
1 Knnng said 8,000 studies
document that mercury leaks from
amalgam fillings, lodges in the
body'sorgans, including the brain,
and can transfer in even greater
concentrations to the developing'
fetus by a pregnant woman.
Fleming said studies suggest
that mercury inhaled from fillings
can exceed the Occupational
Safety and Health
Administration's recommended
levels for the workplace. Others
have indicated up to 20 percent of
dental patients have problems
stemming from mercury in their
fillings, he said
Even the ADA admits a sig-
nificant number of people are al-
lergic to mcrcurv in fillings, Flem-
ing said.
But Ms. Neidle says not re-
ally. The ADA once said no more
than 1 percent of the population
has those alIcrgics, "bu t we hadn' t
done an accurate count she said.
"We did a survey and found less
than 50 people (nationwide). It's
just so rare that you can't put a
percentage figure on it
She repeated the ADA'S
printed policvthatamalgam "does
not pose a health hazard to the
non-allergic patient. To advocate
to a patient or the public the re-
moval of clinically serviceable
dental amalgam restorations
solely to substitute a material that
does not contain mercury is un-
warranted o1 violates the ADA
principles ot ethics and code ol
professional conduct
Ms. Neidle said I billion till-
ings are' placed every year and
amalgams have been in use for
r5p; ear -
J "It is incinceivable to me that
a material that is used in such a
widespread fashion which has a
serious adverse impact attached
to it would not have caused
some discernable change over the
past century in the health of the
people she said.
But Ms Denton said studies
of dentists and dental hvgienists
in Lithuania. England and the
United States show a higher inci-
dence ot miscarriages and birth
defects among women in those
professions than among those in
other medical careers.
Officials with the ADA "just
turn their back on the evidence
and sav it doesn't exist Ms.
Denton said.
Steve- Bayne, section head of
biomaUnals in dentistry at the

probably contributes "one-thou-

Fluor Daniel, Inc a Charlotte,
N.Cbased engineering firm with
offices m Greenville, in Septem-
ber formed a joint venture with
Puke Power Co. to build cleaner
burning coal power plants and
refit existing plants to cut their
pollution emissions.
Puke, a Charlotte-based util-
ity, estimated the new legislation
would cost it as much as $400
million a year in new equipment
and higher operating costs after
the vear 2000. The costs could
require a rate increase from 10
percent to the low teens, Duke
spokesman Jim Maher said.
Ron Green, president of the
Daniel, said that during the next
six years, utilities are expected to
spend as much on refitting their
existing plants to meet the law's
requirements as they spend on
new plants.
"It's going to create a market
for new, clean-burning facilities
to replace those that must be re-
tired he said, adding the clean
air legislation will also create a
multi-billion dollar market for coal
stack scrubbers for existing plants.
The new joint venture recently
reached an agreement with South
Carolina Electric and Gas Co of
Columbia to investigate the con-
struction of a 350-megawatt coal
plant which would use the new
methods to burn cleaner than
conventional coal plants. Several

Barefoot results in
success and fun
Record crowds turn out on the Mall
By John Tucker
Assistant! Features Editor
Thisycar, theStudent Union's
annual event Barefoot on the Mall
was once again a huge success as
si x d i ?ferent acts and various food
and craft stands provided a carni-
val-like atmosphere for the huge
throng of ECU students attend-
ing.
The weather acted as if it was
as calculated and as timed as the
day's events, providing students
with a perfect spring stomping
ground for the day's festivities.
And stomp the students did.
Pam Riggs. the faculty advisor to
the Student Union committees in
charge of coordinating the event
commented, "Lots of people told
me the crowd was the biggest
they've ever seen and everyone
seemed to have a good time
The day's events started with
the gospel choir singing a few
h mns really didn't catch much
of this because I was hustling to
get a paper done but from where 1
was working I could catch a faint
glimpse of the melodic sounds as
I looked through an open window
at a slowly building crowd.
The Trinidad Tripoli Steel
Band played next and unfortu-
nately, like many other students, I
was still running around Irving to
finish off the days normal events
and deciding whether to skip that
class at 2 p.m. From what I was
told the band played some decent
Carribean music packed with the
characteristic soul.
. I did manage to catch tohfrnjr
Quest and as always they rocked.

Quest
BSU presents environmental mime and drama
By Stephanie Folsom
Staff Writer
Sunday was Earth Day and
while some flighty enthusiasts
may already be forgetting the pro-
gramsand events that surrounded
the day oi recognition for Planet
Earth, a small group from the
Baptist student Union is gearing
up to start off another week with
environmental information and
fun.
"Hidden Cries a musical
written and directed by members
oi the BSU fellowship group and
choir, will put on its second and
final performance Sunday, April
29 at 6 p.m. at Wahlcoates School
on 3th Street. I he musical com-
bines modern blues, folk, and tra-
ditional song as well as drama
and mime
One t the most memorable
aspects o the musical involved
the mime, rather than song and a
skit that branched out to interac-
tions among people, rather than
with the environment Steve Har-
ding, production manager lor the
program, was the mam character
in the mime skit "In the Image I
Cod, Male and Female- Created
He Them
Instead of using his mime tal-
ents to portrav something directlv
out of Genesis, as the title would
suggest, i lardmgprovideda more
contemporary look al the way
people interact with each other
1 leportrayed both a homeless and
handicapped person, a young
gang member, an elderly man and
an abused child. In the back-
ground, echoed the voice oi the
character he portrayed. There is
only one more song after this skit,
so the voices seem to leave with
) ou.
The musical seeks to illustrate
the relationship humans have in
and with nature. The idea tor
I lidden Cries formed after mem-
bers i f BSU began meeting v eekly
to discuss issues dealing with the
land, plants, animals, and the
Christian responseto those issues
1 he musical was written al
the beginning ot this semester in
an effort to make everyone more
aware of our world and the im-
pad humans have upon it. The
musical addresses such questions
as. What are our responsibilities
to( od to protect the world which
has been given to us"
I heir tirst performance, on
April9, wasquite impressive. I he
information was presented in an
entertaining manner, without
becoming boring or depressing.
1 he music and skits were well-
cratted and presented the prob-
lems of what humans have done
to both the planet and each other
in a realistic manner.
Workshop deals with depression
By Joe Horst
Staff Writer
This past weekend, the thea-
ter arts department closed the last
of its workshop productions with
"The Undefeated Rumba Cham-
pion directed by Pans Teet, and
"Sganarelle, or The Imaginary
Cuckold directed by Carol Pen-
dergrast.
"RumbaChampion" portrays
the Story of a man whose loss ot
his leg in a war is seen by him as
the loss oi half his manhood. Matt
McCulloch, as Id c. Willis Archer.
shows admirably, and with great
physical dexterity, a torn man
whose constant attempts at lech-
ery only serve to heighten his
otn ions insecurities.
Kelly Greer, who plays
Archer's nurse, serves as a buffer
against his depression and finally
manages to convince him that
hope is theone thing that can make
life orth living. Together,
McC ulloch and Greer, along with
Beefs directing, give forth a play
about the abstract concept of hope,
but with iist the right touch of
humanit)
"Sganarelle shows the folly
of jumping to conclusions and the
biarre circumstances that can
arise from such conclusions. What
starts out as a dispute between
father and daughter over a mar-
riage proposal soon blows up into
faulty judgement trom all sides of
the cast. Brav Culpepper. who
plays Sganarelle, is often ineptly
funny as the neighbor who is not
so willing to lay down his life for
an imaginary transgression bv his
wife. Culpepper, along with the
rest oi the cast, presents a lighter
side of life and its many confusing
tendencies.
Thus endeth the workshop
productions by the theater arts
department tor 1989-1990. Peal-
ing with a variety of subject mate-
rial, ranging trom the comical to
the serious, the w orkshops allow
the theater students the chance to
polish their acting talents while
enjoying themselves.

ECU'S faculty has asserted its
intention to place responsibility
for overseeing academic integrity
in ECU's athletic program in fac-
ulty hands.
The Faculty Senate voted
Tuesday to send the chancellor a
resolution recommending
changes in the charge and make-
up of the University Athletic Com-
mittee. These include wording that
would make oversight of academic
integrity, compliance with NCAA
rules and regulations and the
overall development of student
athletes primary functions of the
committee.
It also would expand mem-
bership on the athletic committee
to include eight members of the
faculty, ftveof who are tobeelected
by the Faculty Senate, and pro-
vide for election of the chair from
the faculty members.
The t.u ulty thus would have
eight votes among the 13 voting
members on the committee, and
the chair. In addition to voting
members, there are five e-officio
members without vote including
the student government president
and a student athlete appointed
bv the student government presi-
dent.
Faculty chair James M. Joyce,
a professor of physics, said the
chancellor. Dr. Richard Eakin,
already had indicated hisapproval
of the membership provisions.
Eakin will review and consider
other portions of the resolution
later, Joyce said.
In floor actions on second
reading of the athletic committee
resolution, former faculty chair
Ken Wilson of the sociology de-
partment won approval of estab-
lishing an all-faculty academic
review subcommittee "to review
the academic quality of the ath-
letic program
"This is the academic over-
sight that you are looking for
Wilson said. He said the subcom-
mittee would report itsevaluation
of the academic integrity of ath-
letic programs to the chancellor
and the Faculty Senate and make
recommendations.
Mathematics professor Robert
Woodside, also a former faculty
chair, won approval of a motion to
add the student government presi-
dent and a student athlete as ex-
officio, non-voting members of the
committee.
Ernest Schwarz of the health
and physical education faculty
who has chaired the University
Athletic Committee as the faculty
athletic chair, said the faculty's
Committee on Committees was
instructed "to change the charge
of the Athletic Committee, not to
restructure the committee
Schwarz said he telt it would be
difficult to obtain a quorum with
the enlarged membership and
added. "It will be an administra-
tive committee, not a faculty
committee
The resolution as submitted
to the Faculty Senate specified that
five faculty members, including
three from the elected faculty
members, would constitute a
quorum.
The resolution's key wording
is that "Primary functions of the
committee are oversight respon-
sibility in the area of academic
integrity, compliance with NCAA
rules and regulations and the
overall development of student
athletes It said "general issued"
such as budget, conference mat-

Emergency 911
service expands
early next year
In case of an emergency, it
would be nice lo pick up any phone,
dial 911 and have your location
known as soon as someone answers
the phone.
This is possible by an Enhanced
911 service, E911, which will soon
be offered by Carolina Telephone.
The new system offers three en-
hancements not on the basic emer-
gency 911 service.
Selective Routing is a feature
that routes your call from a central
office to a public safety answering
point based upon the calling party's
telephone number.
Automatic Number Identifica-
tion allows your telephone number
to be forw arded to the 11911 control
office and to the public safety unit.
Also, an Automatic Location
Identification feature is offered that
allows the address associated with
your telephone number to be dis-
played at the public safely unit.
Enhanced 911 will provide an
immediate response that assures as-
sistance even if you can do no more
than dial the number.
When someone answers and you
respond fire, rape or even hang up,
your location is automatically traced
and assistance will be sent to the
address of the phone from which you
dialed. This system could be helpful
with all the rapes and attacks being
committed.
According to Jeff Holme, prod-
uct manager for enhanced 911 of
Carolina Telephone, this system
will not be available until early
1991. Preparations for the new sys-
tem are currently being made.

Dorm
out to
By Lynnette M. Rlddlck
Though dorm socials may
ignite excitement and many courses
provide challenges, what may seem
lo be minor problems can often
cause "minor warfare" in a dorm?
especially Greene Residence Hall.
Greene Hall residents complain
that the change machine does not
work as it should, the elevators keep
gelting stuck about every other
week, the ice machine makes the ice
and then it melts it, and the mail
carrier delivers at different times and
to the wTong addresses.
Because of this, the House
Council of Green Hall has been
meeting weekly to discuss the
problems in the dorm. As a result.
House Council made petitions for
the ice machine and the mail
delivery.
Kay Godwin, Greene Hall
coordinator of resident education.

serves as a mediator between
students and the Student Life office.
She said: "Chancellor Eakin and
Vice Chancellor Malhcws really care
about the students. They want the
students' input
Dawn Newell, president of
Greene Hall House Council, said
that when Darlcnc Barnes, resident
adviser of the second floor,
suggested that they make a petition,
she thought that it was a great idea.
Newell said, "Students need lo know
that they have a voice and the people
have to listen to us
By the end of the week that the
residents petitioned, a new ice
machine was delivered. In addition,
the new mail carrier delivers the
mail promptly and to the correct
addresses.
One of the problems that
remain is the "ever-breaking" change
machine. If you use this machine,
you may not get enough change, or
the machine may not take any bills,
or it may keep a bill without giving
any change.
Kathie Brooks, resident adviser
of the sixth floor, said: "When I put
a dollar in that machine, my little
dollar just got sucked up in there. I
know I got a lot of change coming
back to me that I've lost because
this isn't the first time this
happened to me
The elevators arc another
problem. They get caught between
floors so much that many Greene
Hall residents are getting used to
climbing the stairs. One resident
said: "Those elevators are always
breaking down. Even when they are
working, they start sounding weird
Godwin said that the
maintenance workers arc waiting for
an order to come in so that the
elevators can be fixed.

Tenure of non-Ph.D.s: a controversial topic at ECU
? . hichlv Qualified facultv. tn he in the fni-Mon lanonaoc Hnnrlmini mmW. ?- n iI . ? i. .li- - .
By Valerie Touloumbadjlan
Several teachers will not be able
to teach in the semesters to come,
and this is raising questions about
ECU's policy in regard to hiring
faculty members.
ECU's self-impoi regulation
specifically establishes a six-year
limit on fixed-term appointments for
faculty members who do not hold a
doctoral degree. According to some
faculty members, if they do not
complete a Ph.D. by the end of six
years, they have to stop teaching at
ECU, regardless of their qualities
and experience.
Some people do not consider
this policy, aimed at promotion of a
highly qualified faculty, to be in the
best interest of the teachers and,
consequently, of the students. The
regulation affects teachers in various
ECU departments and raises a
controversy that takes root in
divergent conceptions of education.
Some faculty members wonder if
research?and fame?are to be the
ultimate goal even at the expense of
efficient teaching.
On the one hand, Elizabeth
Dupree, lecturer in the math
department, said that people were
informed of this policy when they
were first hired. They have six years
to complete their degrees, which
seems long enough, according to Dr.
Martin Schwarz, chairman of the
foreign languages department.
Schwarz added: "There arc many
qualified people with terminal
degrees looking for a job. Those
people should be given preference
over people who do not have
terminal degrees He also said that
if ECU is to get more graduate pro-
grams, more qualified teachers will
be required.
However, teachers affected by
this resolution can be devoted to
their jobs. Sociology teacher Delcne
Rhea said, "I enjoy leaching; I enjoy
the students

department, Dr. John Maiolo, said

Career Planning and Placement
Service is available to help students
find a job.
The Career Planning and Place-
ment Service, located in Bloxton
House, encourages graduating stu-
dents to come by and fill out an infor-
mation packet Once returned, this
packet contains all the information a
prospective employer might need,
from resumes to references from past
professors and employers.
Director Furney James or As-
sistant Director Jim Westmoreland
of Career Planning & Placement are
available to answer questions or offer
suggestions.
"We offer a starting point from
which students can get a foot in the
door of possible employers James
said.
Students registered with the
Placement Center receive a monthly
job guide that includes jobs repotted
to the center as well as upcoming
campus interviews. Students may
write to the companies of their choice
and sign up for interviews in one of
the three resource rooms located in
Bloxton House.
Information about companies is
available to students to give them a
chance to learn about companies
before an interview. This enables
students to go to an interview feeling
more confident of their own posi-
tions.
The center conducts monthly
workshops in resume writing and
interviewing skills. Students can also
get free handouts that offer tips on
developing resumes and answering
the typical questions interviewers
might ask.
According to Placement Center
records, between 70 and 75 percent of
students who register with the service
have a job by September following
their graduation. But, students have
to take the initiative to register with
the center and make an effort to sell
themselves.

hunting for

If you are looking for a house
or an apartment to rent with a few
friends beginning next fall, be wary.
April is the best month to start the
search, says Homelocators agent
Steve Crawlcy.
Through the Homelocators
service, students, and others, can pay
S50 for a compiled list of homes and
apartments available for rent in
Greenville and the surrounding areas.
Once the money is paid, the
agency asks each group of potential
renters the specifics on what they are
looking for, including information
on number of bedrooms desired,
pets, range near campus and the
amount of money they want to
spend monthly.
The agent then gives potential
renters a number to call about twice
a week to check for the type of place
they have specifically requested.
Crawlcy said that the relocators

the residences are often rented out as
soon as the listings come in.
The Homelocators service
guarantees customers that they will
find a place within four months.
Yet, for students, they extend the
lime limit to six months.
Crawlcy said the most popular
area that students rent runs from
Fifth Street to the Tar River and the
downtown Greenville area.
Greenville has a law that does
not allow more than three unrelated
people to live together in the same
home or apartment. Some area
landlords overlook the number of
residents per dwelling, and some do
not. The Homelocators service
advises students in matters
concerning this law.

Eakin walks for the March of Dimes
By Kimley Eder
WalkAmcrica 1990 for
Greenville will be held on April 28
from 9 a.m. until about 2 p.m. The
annual five-mile walk, sponsored by
the March of Dimes Birth Defects
Foundation, will begin and end at
the Elm Street Gym.
The Greenville Jaycces, co-
sponsoring the Greenville walk, ex-
pect 250 people to participate in this
year's walk.
Walkers may participate indi-
vidually or in teams.
This year, Chancellor Richard
Fakin is the honorary chairman for
the Greenville walk. Drew Steele,
the 5-ycar-old son of Mike and
Sandy Steele, is the child ambas-
sador. The two will start off the
walk.
According lo Lynn Rhoadcs of
the March of Dimes, Gov. Martin is
the honorary chairman for the
Eastern Carolina Chapter
WaJkAmcnca this year.
Crusty's Pizza and Coca-Cola
will provide refreshments for the
walkers when they finish, and there
will be two checkpoints stationed
along the walk. The March of
Dimes also plans to post along the
walk route "Burma-Shave" signs
lhat give health facts in a question-
and-answer format.
Promotional prizes will be
given by local sponsors for out-
standing walkers, such as the walker
who raises the most money or the
team that raises the most per capita.
Regional sponsors for
WalkAmcrica include WDLX-FM,
WITN-TV, Kibun seafood products,
Slim-Fast and K mart. The regional
sponsors give financial support and
promotional backing to the event in
all the towns that are served by the
Coastal Plains Chapter of the March
of Dimes. The office for the Coastal
Plains Chapter is located in
Greenville.
Last year, the March of Dimes
raised about $7000 from
WalkAmcrica. This year's goal is
$10,000, Rhoades said.
Ninety percent of the proceeds
from the walk go directly to the
community, according to Sybil
Huggins of the March of Dimes.
Drew Stec'e, son of Mike and Sandy Steele, is the child
ambassador for Walk America. The walk is to promote knowledge
about birth defects. (Photo by Suzann Tyndall)
Much of the money is spent educat-
ing people about promoting healthy
births and preventing birth defects
and infant mortality, the main goal
of the March of Dimes.
North Carolina has the most
infant deaths in the United States,
with a statewide death rate of more
than 12 percent in 1988. In Pitt
County, the infant death rate was 19
percent in 1988. That is a higher
infant death rate than any other in-
dustrialized country, and it is higher
than many Third World countries.
Students interested in finding a
summer job should look further than
the want ads. Finding a summer job
is not an easy task, but one helpful
place that few people think about is
temporary services.
Manpower Temporary Services,
located at 118 Rcade St has oppor-
tunities for people interested in in-
dustrial, clerical and general office
jobs.
The service recommends that
people wanting a summer job call a
week in advance. The procedure for
the program includes:
? going through an orientation
? testing for dexterity, details
and typing, and
? learning word processing
skills required for general
office jobs.
Once testing is completed, jobs
can be found to suit the person's
skills. "It sometimes takes a day or
two to find a job, but no more than
a week said B.J. Watson, service
representative for Manpower.
Pay rates may vary depending
on the job. According to Watson,
industrial jobs pay S3.95-S4.25 an
hour. Clerical jobs pay S4-S5 an
hour.
Besides Manpower, Greenville
offers Anne's Temporaries Inc
which is located at 1410 S. Evans
St and Kelly Temporary Services,
located at 204 E. Arlington Blvd.
If temporary work is not what
you are looking for, try applying at
local restaurants, grocery stores,
movie theaters or the public library.

Students are priority at ECU
A recent visit 10 one of ECU's
air-conditioned dorms proved, once
again, not only the apathy of ECU
students, but the selfishness of
many.
As a result of the unseasonably
warm weather, several "concerned"
residents wanted the air-conditioning
turned on right then and there or else
they would demand a refund of the
extra $80 they paid for living in the
cool air. They just could not
understand why "some stupid idiot
wouldn't turn on the air
Had they read their local and
campus newspapers, they would
understand that the lack of air-
conditioning is Chancellor Richard
Eakin's rcpsonse to the 8 percent
budget cuts made statewide for
education.
Chancellor Eakin's plan not
only included regulating thermostats
throughout the campus, but also
cutting non-personnel operating
Headline creates
costs by 5 percent and imposing a
"managed" hiring freeze on non-
faculty positions.
Many people around ECU feel
they are being inconvenienced by the
measures. What they do not know is
that it could be worse. Eakin's
response is fair compared to North
Carolina State University and
others.
The chancellor at NCSU took
an extremely different response to
the cuts, which have affected mainly
the students. Sections of classes
have been canceled. Labs are closed.
Library hours have decreased. And
teacher assistantships have been
denied for graduate students. Some
classes that normally have 30
students per class have risen to 45
per class. These are just a few of the
inconveniences NCSU students
must endure untill the end of the
quarter on June 30, if not longer.
One considerably smaller North
Carolina university may have to
eliminate summer school sessions
altogether, perhaps prolonging some
students' expected dates for
graduation.
And ECU students still
complain that they are hot and
sweaty.
When Eakin proposed his
budget cuts, he had the student in
mind. He didn't shorten our library
hours, or close off sections of our
classes, he turned down the air,
which wasn't even a part of ECU
until recently. He did not fire
anyone; he merely did not replace
positions previously left open.
ECU students, don't be so
selfish. The next time you're at the
library, finishing up a last-minute
project. think about the NCSU
student who doesn't have that option
of late-night studying at die library.

Ticketing complaint
By Janie Smith
Even with all the negative
r porting, ECU has more supporters
than realized.
On Feb. 27, in the Greensboro
News & Record, an article was
published that was headlined "Ex-
ECU coach named in Shacklcford
probe In response to the article, an
ECU supporter wrote a letter to the
editor blasting the News &. Record
for its biased reporting.
Despite the headline, the only
involvement ECU had with the
Shackleford point shaving incident
at NCSU was an cx-baskctball
coach. Larry Gillman, the ex-coach,
coached at ECU for two seasons,
almost 12 years ago. This was years
before Shackleford even attended
NCSU.
If Gillman had been a coach at
any other North Carolina University
and involved in such a scandal, it
would have been hidden somewhere
in the article, if reported at all.
However, the News & Record
placed this information in the
headline for everyone to see.
Whatever happened to the
headline-writing rules all good
journalists learn? The headline is
supposed to highlight the contents
of the story.
With the school fighting to win
the respect of the state, the headline
provides another obstacle to over-
come before acceptance as a
competing university can be
established. Battling with a medium
who prefers the color blue can be an
endless effort.
For all intended purposes, the
headline was not false. However,
when one thinks about all the
people who get their news while
skimming the headlines, one begins
to wonder what kind of opinions
people are forming about the
Pirates, especially when they read a
headline such as this.
As it stands now, it is obvious
which schools are preferred in the
Tarheel State. Though, maybe one
day it will not be so obvious.

It is a shame that you pay
tuition and rent to live on campus
and you cannot park in front of your
dorm for about 15 minutes to load
or unload your car.
I parked in front of Clement
Residence Hall to unload my car,
and I got a ticket. I admit, I was not
in a parking space. But where are
you supposed to park if all the
spaces are taken and no one moves'
I guess dorm residents should park
two miles away and make several
trips back and forth to their cars to
get luggage.
I cannot believe campus police
have nothing to do but write
citations to students or anyone who
is taking care of short-term
business.
1 also received a ticket for
parking at the library without a
sticker. 1 was parked long enough to
return a bwk to the front checkout
desk, five minutes at the most.
What is this university coming to?
Why are students not given a
break for taking care of their short-
term business' Maybe it is because
the police gel commission for the
number of tickets issued.
A parking deck at the bottom of
college hill and at Mendenhall would
help. Also, we should be allowed to
park for a short lime if we leave our
hazard lights on. This will let the
police know we will only be parked
there a few minutes.
Something needs to be done!
Officials should realize how
important we arc to this university.

Guidelines for
hiring minorities
By Valeria Lasslter
In the past year, I have noticed a
positive change in the recruiting of
minority faculty at ECU. By no
means is the job complete. Last
year, where the university gained six
new minority faculty, it also lost
six minority faculty.
Curious as to what was behind
the active search for more minority
faculty, I spoke with Equil
Opportunities Employment Officer
(EOE) Dr. Mary Ann Rhodes.
Rhodes says, "One of the reasons for
the increase is that the
administration believes a university
which reflects diversity is the
essence of a university
ECU is an Equal Opportunity
Employer and Affirmative Action
institution. Many see Affirmative
Action as a negative, but Rhodes
says no one at ECU is hired who is
not qualified.
The university has different
ways of recruiting minority faculty.
For example, advertising positions
and interviews justified and approved
by the EOE Officer help attract
minority faculty. Positions arc also
sent to predominantly black
colleges. Ads arc placed in minority
publications. The university
allocates money so that departments
can bring in possible employees for
interviews.
One of the most creative
programs that the university uses to
deal with the small number of
minority faculty is the Minority
Initiative Program. The program
brings in minority visiting
professors so that students can have
exposure to minority faculty, while
the university builds its minority
faculty.
Rhodes says, "ECU for the
future hopes to continue to sensitize
people to diverse culture The
university's persistence in seeking
more minority facculty is
representative of a university trying
to meet the needs of students.

Octave, an Affirmative Action
Debate, a South Afrikanner speaker
and an African Art exhibit. My
question is, where were you black
students?
Another area where we as black
students have definitely not been
seen is in the extensive use of the
minority affairs office. African-
American students-many of the
black students before us did not have
the oppportunities that we have
today. We should see every
opportunity as our last one.
While attending those programs
mentioned earlier, I was embarassed
when I saw that I could count, the
number of black people at these
functions on my hand. And I do not
exaggerate. Wc cannot blame the
university if it cuts out or cuts back
on programs geared toward black
students because we do not support
the ones that are already here. If
nothing else, we should attend to
show respect to the visiting
scholars or artists.

Setting goals for success
By Valeria Lassiter
"Unless wc are moving forward
toward an objective, we will fall?
and fail A goal is an objective.
Goals provide individuals with a
direction and focus, hopefully, on
something constructive. Often you
hear of people becoming frustrated
but yet are unable to come to a
conclusion why. A lack of focus
could be the key to the chaos that
might exist.
The people who have goals
achieve far more than those who do
not, and those who have written
goals achieve the most of all.
Forrest Patton. a motivational
speaker, conducted a study of alumni
10 years out of Harvard to find out
how many were achieving their
goals. The study found that 83
percent had no goals at all. Fourteen
percent had specific goals, but they
were not written down. Their
average earnings were three times
what those in the 83 percent group
were earning. However, the 3
percent who had written goals were
earning 10 times that of the 83
percent group.
Writing goals is no easy task.
A narrowing of focus is the first
step toward getting what you want.
We can all come up with many
things that we want to do or
become, but to obtain these things,
we must choose one piece of it and
decide that is the one to go for first.
Throughout the goal setting, you
may have to modify, discard or
replace your goals.
Goal setting is a three-step
process, says Dr. Michael LeBouf,
author of Working Smart. First,
there should be a lifetime goal,
which sums up the results you most
want to accomplish over the course
of your life. Second, establish your
immediate goals-what you wish to
accomplish in less than a year. The
last step is to list your daily goals?
what do you want to do today?
For some, this may be an
overwhelming process when
confronted with detailing lifelong
goals.
But lifetime goals function as
the keystone to the rest of the goals
Some theorists argue that it is best
to start small and gain experience in
accomplishing something.
Achieving goals is work.
Strategies should be developed,
asking yourself. What is your target
date? When will you achieve the
goal? Then, write it and the goal
itself down. Most people think
about their goals but fail to commit
to them. Writing them down is a
commitment to the goal.
Fewer people arc smoking in
public if for no other reason than they
are not sure where ihey can smoke
Even if they do know where they are
allowed to smoke, ihey are made to
feel guilty In the people around them
if they light up.
Non-smokers are becoming
more selective about whetherlh
out with someone who smokes. Non-
smokers say it ihey see an attractive
person smoking, it is an instant turn-
off.
What is worse than the non-
smoker is in, reformed smoker. Al-
though ihey use to smoke and once

The dating game
By Michelle Walker
To dale, not to date, where to
date, where not to date and can you
afford to date at all These are the
questions.
Someone asks you, "How about
going out with me Friday nighC"
You enthusiastically repiv: "Sure,
thal'd be great. Where do ou want
to go?" The inquirer's brow furrows,
he bites his bottom lip and. trying
to convince you that his answer
comes from the bottom of his most
gentlemanly soul, he says to you:
"Til let you make that decision. You
tell me where you want to go and
we're there "
Broadway, an amusement
park, the beach1 The neat little pub
on Fifth Street?1 Wrong. Tf isn't
quite that eas) or exciting in this
town. The fact is Greenville, N.C
is not the pinnacle of social activity.
However, if yon look hard, you will
be able to scrape up enough different
activities to keep your relationship
exc King for a while. If you are not
a creative, out-going person, you are
doomed.
What do you tell your dates'
You dnt'l want them to think you
are boring or incapable of making
decisions. So. after asking all our
friends where they think you should
go, you come to the depressing
conclusion that they don't know aio
more about where to go than you
do. You have to do the thinking for
yourself.
The first dale will be no
problem; dinner is always a safe
solution If the person is into
sports, you can suggest Final Score,
or If you think they would enjoy a
bubbly '50s atmosphere, you can
lake him to Shabops. If your dale is
loaded, then tell him you want to go
10 King and Queen, or Sweet
Caroline's; if you know he's poor
ihen there is always Burger King or
McDonalds Mere are plenty of
places lo eat al, bolh near and away
from campus. A movie is always
the convenient and easy after-first-
dale thing to do.
What next, you say' What
about second and subsequent dates, if
any should arise You can't just
keep going out to dinner and a
movie; you'll both end up broke and
obese, whichever comes first.
Spring and summer are good
seasons to date in. If the weather is
nice, you can go putt-putting,
picnicking or bike riding. You can
go to River Park North, visit the
nature museum or go bird watching.
There are multitudes of outdoor
activities to choose from: frisbee
golf, horseback riding, tennis,
canoeing; the list goes on and on.
If you are an indoorsy type
person, ECU offers cultural relief
from time to lime, through various
plays and visiting musicians. There
is also the Gray Gallery and the
Greenville Museum of Art lo look
into. Aside from these, indoor
activities are limited, but you can
always fall back on the reliable old
movie.
If yoa want your
relationships to remain fun and
exciting, then you have to be
creative. If you are brain-dead from
bad relationships or you just don't
are about diversity, then you can do
the downtown thing. Then you don't
have to worry. The crowds in the
bars down there will take care of
everything for you; you'll either be
thrust together or ripped apart. No
time to think or worry about it.
If you cannot decide what to
do, then the best bet is to call your
perspective date and say you are sick
and cannot go out at all.

Waiting Patiently
handle this
Dear Rita,
Two months ago, my boy friend
and I agreed not to go out without
each other. Now, he is going out of
town this weekend to a business
meet ing and insisLs on going to a bar
r lounge wilh his friends. I said I
would not go along with mat. I
reminded him about our agreement,
and he still insists on going out. I
will bo in Greenville all weekend
studying and keeping my part of the
agreement. He says he thinks I'm
being unfair and should change my
mind and agree with his "bar
hoppiag He says 1 do not trust him
il I don't let him go. Rita, it's not
trust that I lack 1 just do not want to
go back on my word, and he
shouldn't cither. Should I give in lo
him or stick to our agreement'
What should I do?
Dear Whal,
If your boyfriend is not
committed to you in his heart, then this
agreement will noi make the
difference. "He who is convinced
againsi his own will is of the same
opinion still I would suggest to let
him go to the bar and re-evaluate the
relationship later. Love springs from a
commitment, nol from a feeling, and
trust is an offspring of love.
Dear Rita,
I'm involved in a long-distance
relationship. Circumstances have
made it impossible for my girlfriend
and me lo be together for at least
another two years. We're both fairly
patient and trust each other implicitly.
but I'm concerned that she will
eventually get tired of wailing and
start dating other people. Any advice
Dear Patient,
If you bolh were committal to
each other in your hearts before these
circumstances, then the time and
distance will nol separate you. In the
process of waiting, you may find out if
this is really what you bolh want.
Dear Rita,
I recently met the girl of my
dreams. My feelings for her run deep,
but I don't know if she feels the same.
Four months ago, when we first met,
we had several phone conversations
before going out From these calls, I
learned two things: 1) She has
currently broken off a four-year
rclationship,and2)HcIivestwodoors
from her. Our first dales were
excellent, and I thought this was the
one I wanted to marry, but lately she
doesn't return my phone calls, but will
talk lo her ex for hours and acls as if
she's doing me a favor when she
comes over. She insists thai I am not
mere just lor convenience and that she
and her ex arc just friends. Do you
think she is jusi using me in case things
with the old flame don't work out?
Dazed and Confused
Dear Dazed,
It's almost impossible to end a
relationship and safely get into
another one without a lapse of lime
(maybe six months or more) and for
some, more or less time than others.
Your friend probably has security
on her mind when she tells you that
you're nol for convenience and
she's just friends with her ex. The
talking that they arc doing may
cause things to smooth out between
them. Cool it! Give her some space.
Dear Rita,
I normally avoid blind dates,
but I recently allowed some friends
to"sct me up Now that I have gone
out with this person a few times, the
people who set us up are really
bugging me about the stale of our
relationship. I know they are just
concerned but I hate that kind of
pressure. What should I do?
Pressured
Dear Pressured,
Your friends probably feel
responsible for whal is going on
with this relationship because they
initiated it in the first place. You can
just tell them everything is coming
along okay and don't get into your
intimate business.

ECU tennis coach: man of ideals
ly David McCreary
The bespectacled man sitting at
his desk said: "I never washed cars or
mowed grass when I was growing
up The only way I ever made any
money was by stringing tennis
rackets or teaching tennis lessons
In many respects, he is a model
example of a man who is committed
to the game of tennis.
The man. Bill Moore, not only
?serves as the tennis director at East
Carolina University, but holds a
doctorate from the University of
Virginia in sport psychology and
teaches an undergraduate motor
learning course
"A lot of people dont realize
that it's quite a unique opportunity
lo teach and coach at a Division 1
school Moore said. "I work 70
hours a week, minimum, but I'm
able to do it because I'm interested
in developing athletes
Moore, a 31-year-old Edcnton,
N.C native, founded a sport
psychology consulting agency in
1987 called Performance
Fundamentals. According to Moore,
the primary focus of Performance
Fundamentals is to "assist
competitive athletes in the
acquisition of psychological skills
which are fundamental to elite per-
formance
Skills such as confidence,
concentration and composure arc
developed through individualized
psychological training programs,
where athletes strive for excellence.
"Mental skills are just as
important as physical skills Moore
said. "Both are very similar in
terms of learning them and teaching
them. Physical skills such as
technique of the forehand and
backhand are worked on in practice.
But the mental skills arc more
applied to match play situations.
"For instance, we have a saying
on our team: 'Don't let your play
affect your attitude ; let your attitude
affect your play Players need to
realize that they can be mentally
tough and still be a nice person
When time permits, Moore
enjoys lecturing and conducting
workshops throughout the nation for
parents, coaches and athletes.
"I've especially enjoyed
working with parents Moore said.
"I can go to a tournament and meet
with a group of parents and throw
out issues that they are dealing with
regarding their children
Moore encourages parents to
help their children pursue non-tennis
interests and also to emphasize the
importance of having a good time.
"One of the most challenging
aspects of tennis is to make it fun
Moore said. "There's no doubt in
my mind that when people have fun,
they play a whole lot better
Moore's advice to parents
regarding a child's performance
includes not pressuring the child
about winning and losing, not
forcing a child to practice and not
interfering with a child's coach.
"Negative reinforcement, criticism
and pressure can often cause a child
to give up and quit playing tennis
Moore said.
In regards to working with other
people in his sport psychologist
role. Moore shared an interesting
fact about his consultation with
other college teams and coaches.
"I had a real good business with
college teams, but as soon as I
became a Division 1 coach, they
(team coaches) didn't ask mc to
come back Moore said. "It's an
ego thing. These coaches don't want
another coach at their level coming
to work with their players

the top seed at Pfeiffcr College for
Don't walk, take a hike!
Safety tips for discovering the trails of the U.S.
By David McCreary
If you are like me. the extent of
outdoor spring or summertime
activity includes tossing a worn-out
frisbee or basking on the fervid sand
of Atlantic Beach. But after several
weeks of the same old routine,
maybe it's time for a change. Time
for something different. Something
really adventurous.
Well, how about hiking?
Sounds kinda interesting doesn't it?
Of course the type of hiking I'm
talking about is not your everyday
tnek from College Hill to the
General Classroom Building, but a
full-scale backpack-and-boots
excursion.
Now you may be asking, "What
benefits does hiking have to offer?"
Perhaps the aesthetic beauty of the
wilderness is enough to lure you to
inis activity. Hundreds of trails are
laid out throughout the United
States presenting hikers with a first-
hand view of nature that can't quite
be captured by watching "National
Geographic Explorer Hiking gives
you a chance to entirely escape civi-
lisation and to likely see a beauti-
ful .tumbling mountain stream or a
while-tailed deer.
How about "it's just great exer-
cise"? Walking over relatively long
distances for recreational purposes
seems immensely popular within
the established wilderness. Hiking
could very well be the healthiest
sport in which to engage oneself. It
exercises almost every muscle in the
body, including the heart, and helps
the body's vital organs function
more efficiently.
Hiking can also be a chance to
encounter peacefulness and serenity.
"Hiking is an invigorating physical
and spiritual experience said hiker
Carl Fisher, 31. of Greenville. "It
gives me a chance to get in touch
with nature and to enjoy a sense of
peacefulness not found anywhere
else
So, now that you've been given
the benefits, you're probably moti-
vated enough to give this hiking
thing a try. All you need now is
some bask information about proper
garb, gear and safety precautions.
1. Nothing is more important
to a hiker's comfort than the right
kind of clothing and hiking gear.
Because the hiker travels by foot, a
wise choice in footwear is a must.
Tennis shoes may be suitable for an
afternoon outing, but for longer
treks, the hiker should have shoes
with sturdy soles and ankle-support-
ing leather tops.
2. In addition to food and cloth-
ing, the following provisions should
suffice: mummy-type sleeping bag,
canteen, all-purpose pocketknife,
first-aid kit, flashlight, 25- or 50-
foot length rope, toilet articles, wa-
terproofed matches, insect repellant.
poncho, compass and trail maps.
Most of these items can be carried
comfortably in a backpack.
3. Where there arc trails, there
arc bound to be several hazards.
Some basic rules of "good trailcraft"
include knowing physical limita-
tions, being wary of the heat and
watching out for wildlife. Veteran
hikers certainly know the wisdom of
resting about 10 minutes after each
hour on the trail. The body should
be replenished with plenty of liquid,
and the hiker should consider a good
sunscreen lotion.
Since most trails lead through
the domain of wild creatures, en-
countering a few snakes is possible.
Except for being biting or slinging
nuisances to hikers, insects are gen-
erally harmless, and snakes can be
avoided by watching where you step.
If you are interested in a hiking
trip, contact the department of in-
tramural-recreational services at 757-

N.Cs vast 'Graveyard of the Atlantic'
ly Stave Baktr
Discover a suspenseful and
captivating one-of-a-kind sport:
discover scuba diving. Th?
unusually close proximity of the
Gulf Stream and shallow shoals
have created an exclusive treasure to
North Carolina's coast known as the
"Graveyard of the Atlantic
More than 2,000 ships have
fallen victim to unpredictable waters
and fog in the past 300 years and
now rest (one to 40 miles offshore)
in 30 to 300 feet of water, some
?till awaiting exploration.
Each sunken ship is home to
entire marine communities on
intricate shapes and entrancing
colors. Many are tropical oases due
to the Gulf Stream's warm, year-
round water temperatures.
Venturing into this undersea
world can be dangerous. However,
giant strides in safety and
convenience have been made since
the days of Jacques Cousteau. To
legally dive, one must be certified
through a professional organization
such as National Association of
Underwater Instructors (NAUI).
ECU offers certification in
many levels that includes up to
seven course credit hours and can
save more than $1,000 in expenses.
Basic Scuba Diving carries three
credit hours and costs $150
compared to $275 for a non-student.
Two sections of the diving class
will be offered next fall to teach the
knowledge and skills required for
certification. Included in the price is
the rental of all necessary equipment
and six dives off the North Carolina
coast. Students must pass a swim
test and buy the text before taking
the course.
Upon completion, numerous
dive boats leave from Wilmington

coaching philosophy is similar to

"One of my main objectives is lo
keep things personable, but at the

Moore said.
"It's called tough love. Easy
love is letting a person do whatever
the hell they want to do. Tough love
is kicking a person in the butt for
their own benefit. My role as a
coach is to give these people tough
love.

Kinston Indians and IRS keep
summer cool for ECU students
By Lane Dunn
Greenville may not be the
sports capital of the world, but
sports enthusiasts who plan to hang
around this summer will find plenty
to do. The Kinston Indians, the
only professional baseball team in
Eastern North Carolina, are just
more than a half-hour drive away.
The Indians, a Class A minor league
team, regularly competed for the
Carolina League title with the now-
famous Durham Bulls.
Beth Smith, regional marketing
director for the Indians, said general
admission tickets for students are
$1.75, $1 cheaper than regular
tickets.
Professor O'Cools runs a bus
from the restaurant to games, and
Smith said the Indians are trying to
get other bars and restaurants to do
the same.
Students who enjoy a cold one
on sweltering days should find
Grainger Stadium a good pbec to

will be a theme night.
Smith said a picnic area at the
stadium can be reserved by student
organizations.
The Indians are trying to work a
deal where tickets would be sold at
the Central Ticket Office in
Mendenhan, but that is still in the
works, Smith said.
If you would rather participate
than watch from the sidelines, the
Greenville Recreation and Parks
Department has the normal array of
city league programs from summer
basketball to softball for men and
women.
The department is always
looking for volunteers for its youth

Whether you live for sports or
just enjoy meeting new people and
staying in shape. Intramural-Rec-
reational Services offers something
for everyone.
Nancy J. Mizc, director of In-
tramural-Recreational Services,
has created a total sports and fitness
center for students and faculty, no
matter the level of skill. "Every-
body is good enough to play Mizc
said.
Outdoor recreation, club sports
and intramural sports are three dif-
ferent areas of IRS. which pit teams
and individuals against nature or
others in a friendly atmosphere.
Mize said that although the spirit of
competition is a big part of athletics.
IRS concentrates on participation
rather than competition.
The outdoor recreation pro-
gram is designed to provide stu-
dents with the opportunity to enjoy
nature through the use of equipment
and information provided by the
IRS department.
Camping gear and other equip-
ment may be rented out on a daily,
weekend or extended basis, and
rates arc determined accordingly.
Adventure trips, such as kayaking,
hang gliding and windsurfing are a
few of the activities planned each
semester by IRS.
If your interest runs more to-
ward organized sports, men what
does underwater hockey and arch-
ery or darts, and surfing have in
common? Well, they arc some of
the many club sports developed and
run by students under the guidance
of IRS.
"If there is a desire, we will
start any club that is not a vanity
sport Mize said. If there is sufficient
interest in starting a new club, pro-
spective membcrscan consult with the
club sports director about publicizing
the club's formation and preparing a
club constitution detailing the club's
goals.
Financing of a club sport is left
mainly to the members, but limited
funding is available through the IRS
department in several areas.
East Carolina offers one of the
finest intramural sports programs
around, and students can participate in
several divisions. Independent, Fra-
tcmitySorority and Co-Rcc divisions
arc designed so mat no matter your
sex, skill or organization affiliation,
you arc eligible lo participate in the
activity of your choice.
Current official sport rules, with a
few modifications for intramurals,
govern each event. This allows win-
ning teams to participate against other
schools in extramural play.
Flag football, basketball, volley-
ball and tennis arc some of the many
events offered by IRS. Last fall 6,97
students participated in IRS events
with almost 40 percent of the male
students playing and nearly 20 percent
of the females.
Even i f you do not want to play on
a team or participate in a planned
event, you can still keep fit by making
use of the many IRS facilities. IRS
offers different levels of aerobics
classes, jogging and exercise trails.
Basketball courts, a swimming
pool and a weight and exercise room
arc located in Memorial Gym while
Minges Coliseum houses a gymna-
sium, natalorium with separate diving
tank and handbaliracquctball courts.
A total of 10 tennis courts arc located
next to Minges Coliseum and on Col-
lege Hill.
Due to the increasing number
of students and faculty who partici-
pate in and use the IRS facilities.
Mizc and her staff are trying to gain
support for a new Student Recrea-
tion Center. Mie said she believes
that a new student recreation center
will entice more students to partici-
pate in IRS activities as well as lure
prospective freshman.
The present recreation center,
which is housed in Memorial Gym,
was built in the early 1950s and
space has become limited. The
proposed SIS.1) million center
would have 165,fXK) square feet and
contain six basketball courts, 14
racquetball courts and a cardiovas-
cular and weight center.
Three multipurpose rooms are
planned for aerobics or dance
classes, and the building will con-
tain a large pool w ith a sun deck. A
balling, golf and archery range is
planned.
The center, if approved in May
by the Legislature, would be funded
by student fees. However, one of the
main problems is finding a space to
locate ihc building w ithoul interfer-
ing with the ever- present parking
shortage.
If you are wondering where
you can find out when a particular
eveni is g nng to be held or w here to
check out equipment, IRS publishes
a yearly handbook and activity cal-
endar that gives information on all
events and activities. On a monthly
basis, IRS puts out a newsletter
tilled "A Break In The Action" that
highlights upcoming activities as
well as fitness topics.
The East Carolinian offers de-
tailed coverage of events going on
in IRS and you can also call the
Intra-Action Hoilinc at 757-6562.
