James DePuy
I le said that his hrst know 1
edge of the wiretapping was at
ter teddy Roberson, director of
telecommunications and James
Burris, captain of investigations,
made the first tape
According to DePuy, when

He told him to transcribe the

DePu remembered saying
the ta-s were bad" and that
they could nol be used in court,
but never focused on their

The intention of the wire-
tapping was to produce evidence

KKK storms Wilson
By Marjorie Pitts
Matt Writer
Approximately 30
membersof the ku klux Man
marched through downtown
Wilson to the courthouse
steps on Sunday. No physi-
cal violence broke out but
obscene chants like, "Fuck
vou "You can't touch this
"The hell with the clan and
"Go on back home were
shouted.
The reason tor the march
was to get more members.
Authorities from sur-
rounding counties, as well as
Wilson's Police Department,
took many precautions. Phe
police videotaped and per-
formed a minimal body
search on the spectators.
Weapons, including
rocks or anything that could
ho used as a weapon, were
not allowed in tho area Po-
licemen stood on top of roofs
with binoculars and semi
automatic nflos and police
walked on the sides ot the
roped-oft area
The police handed out
flyers to the citizens and
visitors of Wilson at tho
checkpoints
"This tetter tetsyou know
that the city of Wilson did not
solicit the Man to come to this
area, police said as they dis-
tnbutod fivers. "That we in
fact because of the First
Amendment, do not have the

Julie Peppers, an Fc L
student, was among the hun-
dreds ot spectators who un-
derwent the minimal Ks.iv
search. I didn't think tho
march was any big deal
Peppers said. "But when they
did the txviv search it made
me nervous

Special to The East Carolinian
As the temperature begins to
drop and frost covers our wind-
shields every night, some of the
older cars out there won't start as
well as they did mis summer.
Most people will take their cars
to Precision Tune or a local auto
shop for a winter tune-up. A simple
tune- v at a Goodyear tire center
will generally cost between $50 and
$80, depending on the number of
cylinders in your engine.
The cost of a major tune-up
starts around $80 and can get much
higher depending on the parts and
labor the car needs.
But those car owners feeling
adventurous this time, or maybe
just low on money, can invest in a
few tools, a manual and a little time,
and tune up a car themselves and
save money.
An engine tune-up is an impor-
tant part of the maintenance of a car
and can increase performance and
gas mileage. Some symptoms that
indicate the need for a tune-up are
hard starting, reduced power and a
rough idle.
It's important to decide what
type of tune-up each car needs.

limb treatment
By Christie Lawrence
SUf f Writer
We have all had our share of
scratches and scrapes, but for those
of us who continue to suffer from
more serious physical injuries, hope
still exists thanks to the Department
of Physical Therapy which operates
the Back and Limb clinic in the
School of Allied Health.
The clinic provides its clients
with weekly therapeutic services
by professional physical therapists
and students in training who treat
muscle and joint problems associ
ated with injury and disease.
Student athletes, accident vic-
tims and the elderly, who are sub-
ject to muscle and joint problems
that are brought on by the aging
process, are offered a variety of
physical treatments.
"The clinic is increasingly serv-
ing the needs of ECU faculty, staff,
students and the general public
said Duane Williams, clinical direc-
tor and ECU clinical associate di-
rector of physical therapy.
The purpose of the clinic is to
provide patients with rehabilitative
treatments to control pain and re-
store optimal muscle and joint
movement to injured or diseased
limbs.
In order to control pain, non-
invasive means such as heat, cold,
ultrasound and therapeutic elec-
trotherapy are used.
The clinic realizes that direct
care of a patient by the physical
therapist is important but does not
neglect educating their clients as
well as treating them.
"We treat several knee and back
injuries, and find it important to
educate clients on how to avoid
repeat injury Williams said.
Since Americans are living
longer and becoming more physi-
cally active, the need for physical
therapy and physical awareness is
increasing.
"With this change in attitude
and behavior, physical therapists
must help people gain proper con-
trol of their bodies and teach them
how to maintain optimal physical
performance Williams said.
The clinic's emphasis on edu-
cating the patients is maintained by
teaching the importance of fitness,
prevention methods to avoid re-
peat injury, and self care techniques
to ensure normal function of the
limbs after therapy.
Services offered by the clinic
also help patients to become physi-
cally stronger and to regain use of a
limb.
Exercise is recommended for
patients who need to improve coor-
dination and endurance.
The clinic is "striving to further
develop a model clinic which al-
lows faculty to integrate education
and practice for physical therapy
students said Williams.
Therefore, the clinic is able to
provide quality physical therapy
services for a broad range physical
injury problems in the community.
Each patient receives an initial
evaluation, then a plan of treatment
requiring mem to become actively
involved. Every patient will also
receive a follow-up exam.
The clinic is open weekdays
from8ajn.to4-30pjn.andislocated
in the Belk Building on the comer of
Charles Street and Greenville Bou-
levard.
Patients are accepted by ap-
pointment or referral. For informa-
tion or appointment call 757-4135
or 757-4450.
University awards more wiretap payoffs
By Matt Jones
Managing Editor
The University paid out a
group of seven settlements last
month equaling over $115,(XX1 in
the largest of the wiretapping
scandal pay-offs.
The settlement occurred on
Dec. 17, just days after most stu-
dents were leaving thecampus for
thei ? Christmas vacations. At that
time, Chancellor Richard Eaktn
issued a press release which gave
his reasons for the settlement.
"On the advice of the Uni-
versity Attorney and at the direc-
tion of the State Attorney General's
Office, I have authorized financial
settlements with seven claimants
Eakin stated.
"Upon review of all aspects of
these cases, 1 believe settlement of
these claims is the only legally
responsible course of action to be
taken, a fact which saddens and
disturbs me greatly
The first of the wiretapping
settlements arose from a lawsuit
filed against two individuals. The
University represented the indi-
viduals and settled the claim be-
fore it reached a courtroom. At the
time, University Attorney Ben
Irons said that the reason for the
University's out of curt settle-
ment was "based on consideration
of fundamental fairness
Irons went on to explain that
the University's investigation of
the wiretapping found that "no
employee of the University acted
with actual knowledge that he or
she was violating the law
Six of the seven settlements
involved individuals who found
themselves recorded on the tran-
scripts of the phone taps. The Uni-
versity paid over $10,500 to each
of the six recipients.
"In agreeing to pay this
amount, the University took into
consideration the fact that the
applicable federal statute requires
a minimum payment of $10,000 in
damages plus attorneys fees for
each violation Eakin stated.
Brooks and Jene Mills were
the recipients in the latest wire-
tapping settlements and were
a warded $62,411. The documents
associated with the settlement do
not clearly define the reasons for
the pavment, however, Brooks
Mills' phone was the originally
tapped line. He later resigned his
position in the Telecommunica-
tions department after University
officials notified him of the phone
tap.
According to the auditors' re-
port, the original intention of the
phone tap was to discover if Mills
was involved in drug dealings,
although it was never made clear
who first tapped the line.
The report states that the fol-
lowing individuals were involved
or had knowledge of the wiretap-
ping: Richard Brown, vice-chan-
cellor for Business Affairs; James
DePuy, director of Public Safety;
Johnny Burrus, captain of inves-
tigations for Public Safety; Evan
Midgette, assistant director of
Human Resources; and Teddy
Roberson, former director of
Public Safety.

tant part of the maintenance of a car
and can increase performance and
gas mileage. Some symptoms that
indicate the need foi a tune-up are
hard starting, reduced power and a
rough idle.
It's important to decide what
type of tune-up each car needs.
There are many other symptoms
that require a tune-up like poor gas
mileage, but these may require an
engine analyzer to find the exact
cause of the problem.
The use of diagnostic equip-
ment, such as an engine analyzer, is
not usually included in the price of
a simple tune-up.
In new cars equipped with
computerized engine control sys-
tems an engine analyzer is used to
communicate with the cars com-
puter. It is more complicated than a
simple tune-up and should be per-
formed by a professional technician.
Simple tune-ups require only
the replacement of parts like spark
plugs, spark plug wires, and the
distributor cap. Most auto repair
shops offer both simple and major
tune-ups for their customers. But
the difference in prices will make it
easy for you to determine which is
which.
A simple tune-up is just that ?
simple. It will not cure any major
problems, and if a car isn't running
at all it probably won't make it any
better. If a car has minor problems
with performance or gas mileage,
the simple tune-up is easy and cost-
effective.
The first step in tuning up a car
is getting together all the informa-
tion needed for the auto parts store
will need to provide the correct
parts. They will ask for the make
and the model, the year the car was
made and the type of engine.
Don't assume anything, check
the owner's manual or look under
the hood for an identification sticker.
Themost frequent parts needed
for a simple tune-upare sparkplugs,
one for each cylinder in your car, a
distributor cap and the rotor button
that goes inside the cap.
If none of these parts sound
familiar, it would be a wise invest-
ment to purchase a repair manual
specific to the car. The manuals run
from$5-$25 and can be helpful in all
types of repair work, and i t only has
to be bought once.
Few tools are needed for the
tune-up. A spark plug socket and a
ratchet are a must for any tune-up.
A regular and a phillips head
screwdriver will be needed in most
cases.
For those without any tools, it
would be a good idea to purchase
an inexpensive set of socket
wrenches and screw drivers for this
and future projects.
After the car has cooled, if s
time to begin tuning the car. The
first step in a tune-up is to replace
the spark plugs, but the first step in
any auto work is to lock the parking
brake, cover the fenders of the car to
protect the paint and d isconnect the
negative battery cable to keep from
accidentally starting the car.
Remove and replace the plugs
one by one as not to get confused
and cross a spark plug wire. Gently
pull the plug wire off the spark plug
and lay it to the side. Place the socket
over the plug and turn it counter-
clockwise.
Once the plug is loose and re-
moved from the engine, take the
new plug, check the gap in between
the arc and the electrode to the
manufacturer's specification listed
in the owners manual. This can be
done with a tool known as a spark
pluggapper.
Take the gapper in one hand
and the spark plug in the other.
Locate thecorrect size on thegapper
and slipitinbetweenthearcandthe
electrode. Adjust the gap until this
"gap" is the correct size.
After this, it is time to carefully
thread the plug back into the hole
from which it came. When it is
snugly back in the hole, put the
socket back over the new plug and
tighten.
Do not over-tighten or cross-
thread a spark plug. It may damage
the engine block. Once the plug is
tight, replace the plug wire on the
plug it came from. It is important to
do only one at a time
Once all the spark plugs and all
the wires on them have been re-
placed, it is time to tackle the dis-
tributor cap and rotor button.
Take a spark plug wire and
follow it until it meets up with a cap
that looks like the one purchased
from the store. It may be attached
by dips, screws, or spring activated
clasps.
Underneath the cap is the rotor
button. Rotors attach in various
ways, most simply pull straight off
thedistributor shaft, orare attached
with small screws. Replace the ro-
tor and be sure that it is pointing in
the same position as the old rotor.
Now take the new cap and at-
tach it to the distributor over the
new rotor button. The spark plug
wires should still be in the old cap.
With the new rotor installed
and the new cap in place, begin
switching plug wires from the old
cap to the new cap, one at a time.
The goal is to get each wire in
the same position on the new cap as
it wasontheoldone. A mistake will
cause a misfire that sounds like
backfire through the engine when
the car is started. Hold the old cap
over the new one and replace the
wires one at a time, going around
the cap in one direction.
At this point, the simple tune-
up is complete and the work should
be checked. Trace all the work done
and make sure there are no parts
left
If the plug wires appear dry or
cracked it might be a wise decision
to replace them as well.
This can be done one at a time
while you switch them from cap to
cap.Otherrune-uppartscanindude
points and condenseronolder point
breaker ignition systems. This
usually requires some adjustment
thatwiUrequire further knowledge.
Ignition timing is another pro-
cedure that can be included in a
tune-up and can be the cause of
poor engine performance.
Adjustment is made by loos-
ening the distributor lock down,
and turning the distributor to ad-
vance or retard the timing. It is
necessary to use a timing light for
this adjustment and should be su-
pervised by a trained technician.
Most repair manuals will give di-
rections on how to adjust ignition
timing.
If everything has been done
correctly, reconnect the battery and
start the engine. Allow it to warm
upand listen for any rough ninning.
If a rough idle persists, you may
need to take the car to a shop with
an engine analyzer to diagnose the
problem.

limb treatment
By Christie Lawrence
Sutf Writer
We have all had our share of
scratches and scrapes, but for those
of us who continue to suffer from
more serious physical injuries, hope
still exists thanks to the Department
of Physical Therapy which operates
the Back and Limb clinic in the
School of Allied Health.
The clinic provides its clients
with weekly therapeutic services
by professional physical therapists
and students in training who treat
muscle and joint problems associ-
ated with injury and disease.
Student athletes, accident vic-
tims and the elderly, who arc sub-
ject to muscle and joint problems
that are brought on by the aging
process, are offered a variety of
physical treatments.
"The clinic is increasingly serv-
ing the needs of ECU faculty, staff,
students and the general public
said Duane Williams, clinical direc-
tor and ECU clinical associate di-
rector of physical therapy.
The purpose of the clinic is to
provide patients with rehabilitative
treatments to control pain and re-
store optimal muscle and joint
movement to injured or diseased
limbs.
In order to control pain, non-
invasive means such as heat, cold,
ultrasound and therapeutic elec-
trotherapy are used.
The clinic realizes that direct
care of a patient by the physical
therapist is important but does not
neglect educating their clients as
well as treating them.
"Wetreatseveralkneeandback
injuries, and find it important to
educate clients on how to avoid
repeat injury Williams said.
Since Americans are living
longer and becoming more physi-
cally active, the need for physical
therapy and physical awareness is
increasing.
"With this change in attitude
and behavior, physical therapists
must help people gain proper con-
trol of their bodies and teach them
how to maintain optimal physical
performance Williams said.
The clinic's emphasis on edu-
cating the patients is maintained by
teaching the importance of fitness,
prevention methods to avoid re-
peat injury, and self care techniques
to ensure normal function of the
limbs after therapy.
Services offered by the clinic
also help patients to become physi-
cally stronger and to regain use of a
limb.
Exercise is recommended for
patients who need to improve coor-
dination and endurance.
The clinic is "striving to further
develop a model clinic which al-
lows faculty to integrate education
and practice for physical therapy
students said Williams.
Therefore, the clinic is able to
provide quality physical therapy
services for a broad range physical
injury problems in the community.
Each patient receives an initial
evaluation, then a plan of treatment
requiring them to become actively
involved. Every patient will also
receive a follow-up exam
The dinic is open weekdays
from8ajn.to4J0pjTtandislocated
in the Belk Building on the comer of
Charles Street and Greenville Bou-
levard.
Patients are accepted by ap-
pointment or referral. For informa-
tion or appointment call 757-4135

University awards more wiretap payoffs
By Matt Jones
Managing Editor
The University paid out a
group of seven settlements last
month equaling over $115,000 in
the largest of the wiretapping
scandal pay-offs.
The settlement occurred on
Dec. 17, just days after most stu-
dents were leaving the campus for
their Christmas vacations. At that
time, Chancellor Richard Eakin
issued a press release which gave
his reasons for the settlement.
"On the advice of the Uni-
versity Attorney and at the direc-
tion of the State Attorney General's
Office, I have authorized financial
settlements with seven claimants
Eakin stated.
"Upon review of all aspects of
these cases, 1 believe settlement of
these claims is the only legally
responsible course of action to be
taken, a fact which saddens and
disturbs me greatly
The first of the wiretapping
settlements arose from a lawsuit
filed against two individuals. The
University represented the indi-
viduals and settled the claim be-
fore it reached a courtroom. At the
time, University Attorney Ben
Irons said that the reason for the
University's out of court settle-
ment was "based on consideration
of fundamental fairness
Irons went on to explain that
the University's investigation of
the wiretapping found that "no
employee of the University acted
with actual knowledge that he or
she was violating the law
Six of the seven settlements
involved individuals who found
themselves recorded on the tran-
scripts of the phone taps. The Uni-
versity paid over $10,500 to each
of the six recipients.
"In agreeing to pay this
amount, the University took into
consideration the fact that the
applicable federal statute requires
a minimum payment of $10,000 in
damages plus attorneys fees for
each violation Eakin stated.
Brooks and Jene Mills were
the recipients in the latest wire-
tapping settlements and were
awarded $62,411. The documents
associated with the settlement do
not clearly define the reasons for
the payment, however, Brooks
Mills' phone was the originally
tapped line. He later resigned his
position in the Telecommunica-
tions department after University
officials notified him of the phone
tap.
According to the auditors' re-
port, the original intention of the
phone tap was to discover if Mills
was involved in drug dealings,
although it was never made clear
who first tapped the line.
The report states that the fol-
lowing individuals were involved
or had knowledge of the wiretap-
ping: Richard Brown, vice-chan-
cellor for Business Affairs; James
DePuy, director of Public Safety;
Johnny Burrus, captain of inves-
tigations for Public Safety; Evan
Midgette, assistant director of
Human Resources; and Teddy
Roberson, former director of
Public Safety.

Frequent tune-ups save money, help avoid breakdowns
At this noint.
Special to The East Carolinian
As the temperature begins to
drop and frost covers our wind-
bhields every night, some of the
older cars out there won't start as
well as they did this summer.
Most people will take their cars
to Precision Tune or a local auto
shop for a winter tune-up. A simple
tune-up at a Goodyear tire center
will generally cost between $30and
$80, depending on the number of
cylinders in your engine.
The cost oi a major tune-up
starts around $80 and can get much
higher depending on the parts and
labor the car needs.
But those car owners feeling
adventurous this rime, or maybe
just low on money, can invest in a
few tools a manual and a little time,
and rune up a car themselves and
save money.
An engine tune-up is an impor-
tant part of the maintenance of a car
and can increase performance and

limb treatment
By Christie Lawrence
Staff Writer
We have all had our share of
scratches and scrapes, but for those
of us who continue to suffer from
more serious physical injuries, hope
still exists thanks to the Department
of Physical Therapy which operates
the Back and Limb clinic in the
School of Allied Health.
The clinic provides its clients
with weekly therapeutic services
by professional physical therapists
and students in training who treat
muscle and joint problems associ
ated with injury and disease.
Student athletes, accident vic-
tims and the elderly, who arc sub-
ject to muscle and joint problems
that are brought on by the aging
process, are offered a variety of
physical treatments.
"The clinic is increasingly serv-
ing the needs of ECU faculty, staff,
students and the general public
said Duane Williams, clinical direc-
tor and ECU clinical associate di-
rector of physical therapy.
The purpose of the clinic is to
provide patients with rehabilitative
treatments to control pain and re-
store optimal muscle and joint
movement to injured or diseased
limbs.
In order to control pain, non-
invasive means such as heat, cold,
ultrasound and therapeutic elec-
trotherapy are used.
The clinic realizes that direct
care of a patient by the physical
therapist is important but does not
neglect educating their clients as
well as treating them.
"We treat several knee and back
injuries, and find it important to
educate clients on how to avoid
repeat injury Williams said.
Since Americans are living
longer and becoming more physi-
cally active, the need for physical
therapy and physical awareness is
increasing.
"With this change in attitude
and behavior, physical therapists
must help people gain proper con-
trol of their bodies and teach them
how to maintain optimal physical
performance Williams said.
The clinic's emphasis on edu-
cating the patients is maintained by
teaching the importance of fitness,
prevention methods to avoid re-
peat injury, and self care techniques
to ensure normal function of the
limbs after therapy.
Services offered by the dink
also help patients to become physi-
cally stronger and to regain use of a
limb.
Exercise is recommended for
patients who need to improve coor-
dination and endurance.
The clinic is "striving to further
develop a model clinic which al-
lows faculty to integrate education
and practice for physical therapy
students said Williams.
Therefore, the clinic is able to
provide quality physical therapy
services for a broad range physical
injury problems in the community.
Each patient receives an initial
evaluation, then a plan of treatment
requiring them to become actively
involved. Every patient will also
receive a follow-up exam.
The dink is open weekdays
from8a m to430p m and is located
in the Belk Building on the comer of
Charles Street and Greenville Bou-
levard.
Patients are accepted by ap-
pointment or referral. For informa-
tion or appointment call 757-4135
or 757-4450.
University awards more wiretap payoffs
By Matt Jones
Managing Editor
The University paid out a
group of seven settlements last
month equaling over $115,000 in
the largest of the wiretapping
scandal pay-offs.
The settlement occurred on
Dec. 17, just days after most stu-
dents were leaving thecampus for
their Christmas vacations. At that
time. Chancellor Richard Eakm
issued a press release which gave
his reasons for the settlement.
"On the advice of the Uni-
versity Attorney and at the direc-
tion of the State Attorney General's
Office, 1 have authorized financial
settlement, with seven claimants
Eakin stated.
"Upon review of all aspects of
these cases, I believe settlement of
these claims is the only legally
responsible course of action to be
taken, a fact which saddens and
disturbs me greatly
The first of the wiretapping
settlements arose from a lawsuit
filed against two individuals. The
University represented the indi-
viduals and settled the claim be-
fore it reached a courtroom. At the
time, University Attorney Ben
Irons said that the reason for the
University's out of court settle-
ment was "based on consideration
of fundamental fairness
Irons went on to explain that
the University's investigation of
the wiretapping found that "no
employee of the University acted
with actual knowledge that he or
she was violating the law
Six of the seven settlements
involved individuals who found
themselves recorded on the tran-
scripts of the phone taps. The Uni-
versity paid over $10,500 to each
of the six recipients.
"In agreeing to pay this
amount, the University took into
consideration the fact that the
applicable federal statute requires
a minimum payment of $10,000 in
damages plus attorneys fees for
each violation Eakin stated.
Brooks and Jene Mills were
the recipients in the latest wire-
tapping settlements and were
awarded $62,411. The documents
assodated with the settlement do
not clearly define the reasons for
the payment, however. Brooks
Mills' phone was the originally
tapped line. He later resigned his
position in the Telecommunica-
tions department after University
offidals notified him of the phone
tap.
According to the auditors' re-
port, the original intention of the
phone tap was to discover if Mills
was involved in drug dealings,
although it was never made clear
who first tapped the line.
The report states that the fol-
lowingindividualswereinvolved
or had knowledge of the wiretap-

Special to The East Carolinian
As the temperature begins to
drop and frost covers our wind-
shields every night, some of the
older cars out there won't start as
well as they did this summer.
Most people will take their cars
to Precision Tune or a local auto
shop for a winter tune-up. A simple
tune-up at a Goodyear tire center
will generally cost between $50 and
$80, depending on the number of
cylinders in your engine.
The cost of a major tune-up
starts around $80 and can get much
higher depending on the parts and
labor the car needs
But those car owners feeling
adventurous this time, or maybe
just low on money, can invest in a
few tools, a manual and a little time,
and tune up a car themselves and
save money.
An engine tune-up is an impor-
tant part of the maintenance of a car
and can increase performance and
gas mileage. Some symptoms that
indicate the need for a tune-up are
hard starting, reduced power and a
rough idle.
It's important to decide what
type of tune-up each car needs.
There are many other symptoms
that req uire a tune-up like poor gas
mileage, but these may require an
engine analyzer to find the exact
cause of the problem.
The use of diagnostic equip-
ment, such as an engine analyzer, is
not usually included in the price of
a simple tune-up.
In new cars equipped with
computerized engine control sys-
tems an engine analyzer is used to
communicate with the cars com-
puter. It is more complicated than a
simple tune-up and should be per-
formed by a professional technician.
Simple tune-ups require only
the replacement of parts like spark
plugs, spark plug wires, and the
distributor cap. Most auto repair
shops offer both simple and major
tune-ups for their customers. But
the difference in prices will make it
easy for you to determine which is
which.
A simple tune-up is just that ?
simple. It will not cure any major
problems, and if a car isn't running
at all it probably won't make it any
better. If a car has minor problems
with performance or gas mileage,
the simple tune-up is easy and cost-
effective.
The first step in tuning up a car
is getting together all the informa-
tion needed for the auto parts store
will need to provide the correct
parts. They will ask for the make
and the model, the year the car was
made and the type of engine.
Don't assume anything, check
the owner's manual or look under
the hood foran identification sticker.
The most frequent parts needed
for a simple tune-up are spark plugs,
one for each cylinder in your car, a
distributor cap and the rotor button
that goes inside the cap.
If none of these parts sound
familiar, it would be a wise invest-
ment to purchase a repair manual
specific to the car. The manuals run
from$5-$25 and can be helpful in all
types of repair work, and i t onl y has
to be bought once.
Few tools are needed for the
tune-up. A spark plug socket and a
ratchet are a must for any tune-up.
A regular and a phillips head
screwdriver will be needed in most
cases.
For those without any tools, it
would be a good idea to purchase
an inexpensive set of socket
wrenchesand screw drivers for this
and future projects.
After the car has cooled, if s
time to begin tuning the car. The
fir.jt step in a tune-up is to replace
the spark plugs, but the first step in
any auto work is to lock the parking
brake,cover the fenders of the car to
protect the patnt and disconnect the
negative battery cable to keep from
accidentally starting the car.
Remove and replace the plugs
one by one as not to get confused
and cross a spark plug wire. Gently
pull the plug wire off the spark plug
and lay it to the side. Place the socket
over the plug and turn it counter-
clockwise.
Once the plug is loose and re-
moved from the engine, take the
new plug, check the gap in between
the arc and the electrode to the
manufacturer's specification listed
in the owners manual. This can be
done with a tool known as a spark
pluggapper.
Take the gapper in one hand
and the spark plug in the other.
Locate thecorrect size on the gapper
and slip it in between the arc and the
electrode. Adjust the gap until this
"gap" is the correct size.
After this, it is time to carefully
thread the plug back into the hole
from which it came. When it is
snugly back in the hole, put the
socket back over the new plug and
tighten.
Do not over-tighten or cross-
thread a sparkplug. It may damage
the engine block. Once the plug is
tight, replace the plug wire on the
plug it came from. It is important to
do only one at a time.
Once all the spark plugs and all
the wires on them have been re-
placed, it is time to tackle the dis-
tributor cap and rotor button.
Take a spark plug wire and
follow it until it meets up with a cap
that looks like the one purchased
from the store. It may be attached
by dips, screws, or spring activated
clasps.
Underneath the cap is the rotor
button. Rotors attach in various
ways, most simply pull straight off
the distributor shaft, or are attached
with small screws. Replace the ro-
tor and be sure that it is pointing in
the same position as the old rotor.
Now take the new cap and at-
tach it to the distributor over the
new rotor button. The spark plug
wires should still be in the old cap.
With the new rotor installed
and the new cap in place, begin
switching plug wires from the old
cap to the new cap, one at a time.
The goal is to get each wire in
the same position on the new cap as
it wasontheokione. Amistake will
cause a misfire that sounds like
backfire through the engine when
the car is started. Hold the old cap
over the new one and replace the
wires one at a time, going around
the cap in one direction.

At this point, the simple tune-
up is complete and the work should
be checked. Trace all the work done
and make sure there are no parts
left
If the plug wires appear dry or
cracked it might be a wise decision
to replace them as well.
This can be done one at a time
while you switch them from cap to
cap.Othertune-uppartscan include
points and condenseronolder point
breaker ignition systems. This
usually requires some adjustment
thatwill require further knowledge.
Ignition timing is another pro-
cedure that can be included in a
tune-up and can be the cause of
poor engine performance.
Adjustment is made by loos-
ening the distributor lock down,
and turning the distributor to ad-
vance or retard the timing. It is
necessary to use a timing light for
this adjustment and should be su-
pervised by a trained technician.
Most repair manuals will give di-
rections on how to adjust ignition
timing.
If everything has been done
correctly, reconnect the battery and
start the engine. Allow it to warm
upand listen for any rough running.
If a rough idle persists, you may
need to take the car to a shop with
an engine analyzer to diagnose the
problem.

Wiretapping trail may lead to Eakin
After an enjoyable Christmas there is nothing
more an ECU studentor faculty member likes to hear
when thov return to campus than discovering that
the l diversity haspaid over$100,000 in settlements.
What? $100,000 in settlements!
Yes, more than $100,000.
$11 486, to be exact.
By now, we all know why. It seems that about
a year and half ago, certain officials of the ECU
campus (namely those in the Telecommunications,
1 luman Relations and Public Safety departments)
decided that they wanted to wiretap an employee in
hopes of discovering criminal actions. But going
through all that red tape of acquiring a court order
for the wiretap was much too troublesome for our
officials, so they decided to tap phones without one.
That's what we know as breaking the law.
And now we're paying for it.
With the addition of the two previous settle-
ments, the total payments add up to the tune of
$138,986.
Thisbringsupaninterestingquestion.Whyare
we (the taxpayers) paying for the mistakes of a few
ECU officials? Would it not be easier to fire the
individuals who broke the law and let them suffer
their own consequences?
Apparently the University and the state attor-
ney general do not think so. We find ourselves pay-
ing for a crime we did not commit.
Why?
Perhaps the University is trying to cover up
wrongdoing. Maybe they are settling these lawsuits
for the individuals who committed the crime be-
cause there is some bit of information they don't
want discovered.
But what could be so important that it's worth
$138,000 to keep secret? Well let's look at the facts.
Chancellor Richard Eakin told the state audi-
tors that he heard of the wiretapping months after it
happened. At that point he started an investigation
carried out by University Attorney Ben Irons, after
which certain individuals were reprimanded.
But what if the chancellor knew about the
wiretapping as it was happening? His vice-chancel-
lor for Business Affairs, Richard Brown, knew about
it. Why did Brown not brief him of the situation?
If thisis true, it would certainly explain why the
University has chosen to settle the lawsuits. If not,
the lawsuits would lead to investigations and if
Eakin was involved, it would be exposed.
The penalty for giving erroneous information
during a state audit is probably a little worse than a
few hours community service. Perhaps if s a penalty
that would surely be worth avoiding with the rela-
tively small sum of $138,000.
Of course, this speculation will not be specula-
tion for long.
Now that the FBI has concluded its investiga-
tion, a federal grand jury will decide who is involved
and who is not.
If the chancellor was involved, then the truth
will come out, unless the story told to the auditors is
the story told on the witness stand.
Only time will tell.

Keeping Up With the Jones Boys
Thieves, vandals should rot in hell i
By Greg and Matt Jones
Editorial Columnists
In this column, we aren't going
to attempt to debate the existence of
heaven or hell, but if there is indeed a
place called hell, we believe two cat-
egories of people can be found there.
In this hell, thieves and vandals will
be forced to eternally bum alongside
serial killers and )esse Helms.
The University's student body
seems to have its fair share of thieves.
The campus certainly has its share of
thievery victims (of which we have
been many times.)
There are two types of stealing
committed on this campus. First, there
is the case of some dumbass swiping
your car stereo while you are in night
class (or day class for that matter).
Secondly, the case when some bigger
dumbass steals your entire CD collec-
tion while attending your party and
drinking your beer.
In the first instance, we are
forced to wonder what thought pro-
cess possesses a thief as he breaks into
someone's car or house. Does he feel
he deserves to have what is inside?
Did he somehow earn the right to take
what is ours? Or is he simply thinking
of the wonderful bounty he is about to
inherit?
Regardless of his pea-brained
thought process, because it'sa stranger
committing the act against a random
victim seems to make the crime a little
easier to swallow than when an ac-
quaintance robs you blind.
We used to have a lot of parties.
Parties in general are great ? you
generally invite a bunch of friends
and drink until sunrise.
Inevitably people show up
whom you don't know.
Thisis fine.The majority of those
people end up becoming friends who
are invited to the next party. How-
ever, there are also the ones who you
never see again ? The Thieves
These sneaky bastards are the
scum of the earth. You accept them
into vour house, and they steal from
you. It's also a pretty safe bet that
they'll give you no money for the keg.
But you know, when we wake
up the next morning and discover all
the items missing from our house, we
somehow feel better knowing that
someone is receiving good use from
the stolen goods.
The same cannot be said for the
other of the two hell-burners. Yes,
vandals. What do these people think
when they carry out their immoral act
against unsuspecting victims? Dothey
receive a material gain for their ac-
tions? They receive nothing.
Hell, we had to toast the thieves
at our last keg party for at least being
smarter than vandals. At least a thief
has some justification for what he does.
But anyway, we hear you read-
ers grumbling out there. We know
that you agree that thieves and van-
dals are the lowest form of life. But
what you want to know is how we can
stop them.
Unfortunately, we haven't any

good answers. Vandalism is certainly
an unstoppable crime, unless DuPont
invents a car paint which is impervi-
ous to the scraping of a key.
Thievery, however, can be con-
trolled to a certain extent. One night,
after one of our infamous keg parties,
during which thievery ran rampant,
we remembered something our Dad
said.
We had just gotten new bicycles
for Christmas, and with them, bicycle i
locks. He told us that if someone ?;
wanted the bikes, the locks wouldn't I
do any good. ?
"But he said, "it will keep 1
honest people honest
His point was a simple one, but jp
it should be followed by us all. If our p
Dad had been having a beer with us j
the night of a last keg party, he prob- -
ably would have told us to put our ?
CDs away
(We wonder if he would have ;
anticipated our answering machine's ;
disappearance, but that is beside the -
point. However, we must admit, it
was nice of the thieves to reconnect
the phone after the act.)
So what's our point, you ask.
Mostly we are venting frustration. But
if there is anything to learn from the
ramblings of a couple of fun-loving,
beer-drinking, thief-and-vandal-hat-
ing college students, it's to remember
two things while you're holding a keg
party.
You should always put away
your valuables, and you should never
forget the advice from your Dad.
You'll Get Nothing and Like It
Problems with schools start at bottom
By Parker
Editorial Columnist
By Blair Skinner
Editorial Columnist
Imagine this scene. Four men
unlawfully enter an apartment after
midnight and wake one of the resi-
dents. They shout a bit. The resident
fires a 9mm pistol to scare the four
men off.
It sounds likea scene from a bad
rapper's lyrics, but it's not. Unlike the
vision, similar to those dancing in
Vanilla Ice's head, the four men pro-
ceed to beat the pistol-bearing apart-
ment dweller to a pulp.
This is what happened at jim
Segrave's apartment at 210 N. Ash St
No. 5, on Oct. 23, at about 2:40 a.m.
The four assailants were stu-
dents Todd Arnold, Macon Brock,
John VanCoutren and Ryan Casey.
The tatter's name did not appear in
earlier reports due to a police filing
mistake- All four are members of
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
I would suppose that my name
is not held in high regard by Lambda
Chis, presumably because of the mis-
guided belief that I, like my co-work-
ers at The ? CmroHnitm, was "out to
get them.
I was, indeed, "out to get the
four students. Although news reports
are supposed to be unbiased, report-
ers, like anybody else, are biased.
In fact, reporters are exposed to
many differing opinions and are hard
pressed to remain objective. Journal-
ism students receive little training in
objectivity.
Frequently, professors and edi-
tors alike tell reporters to rely upon
their instincts. My instincts told me
the aforementioned students are stu-
pid.
No reasonably intelligent per-
son would go to someone's house in
the early morning, enter it unlawfully,
and beat the resident senseless after
that resident fired a gun to scare them
off.
Even a person of moderate in-
telligence would have ran following
the firing of the gun. Only thick-
headed egoists would do oth?-
and the four assailants did otherwise.
Even worse, they presumed
themselves to be above the law. They
reportedly shouted, "We're Lambda
Chi's, we can do what we want when
they entered Segrave's bedroom.
Brock, Arnold, Casey and
VanCoutren are not alone in their dis-
regard for the law. There are others on
the ECU campus who have done the
same. And likewise they are targeted
for stupid mistakes.
The others are administrators
paid by the university. Chancellor
Richard Eakin, Vice Chancellor for
Business Affairs Richard Brown, Di-
rector of Public Safety James DePuy.
They, just like the four students, ig-
nored the law.
These thick-headed egoists au-
thorized the illegal tapping of a uni-
versity employee's office phone, a
violation of federal law. The lawstates
that anyone who unknowingly has
their voice taped has the right to sue.
The university is financially liable for
the administrator's actions.
Though no one was injured as a
result of the administrators' actions,
the university has paid a total of
$138,986 in n"flii?I
Both groups ignored the law.
One group has had to pay.
The students who beat Jim
Segrave must each pay $250, do 75
hours of community service and am
suspended from ECU for a year.
The administrators involved in
the
For many students approach-
ing the road's end of their educational
career, a popular conversation topic is
whether those graduates plan to teach
in their respective fields. An alarming
feature of these chats is the nearly
universal retreat reflex these prospec-
tive educators make when the possi-
bility of teaching at the high school level
is raised.
The tonal inflections and facial
expressions made when uttering high
school are almost too ghastly to de-
scribe. Many of the future teachers
then confess that despite their eager-
ness to teach, they plan to pursue a
master's degree so that they can work
at least in community colleges or small
four-year schools. This route is taken
toavoid toiling in what has come to be
referred to as the trenches, the riot
zone, the battlefields, the zoo and so
on.
What bothers me is that many
of these remarks are often made by
me and my fellow graduate students
who currently teach college freshman
courses, Ishigh school?and we might
as well include middle and elemen-
tary school?that chaotic an environ-
ment? After all, I was just a part of it
not that long ago. Unfortunately, the
answer as it pertains to most schools
and particularly those in North
Carolina is yes, and it's growing worse
every year.
To move a way from those green
recruits who haven't yet served in
"the fields I have abo talked to many
of my pears who do teach high school.
Almost invariably they look at ma as
punished and continue to work for tffroq)thotnTrtdofcaptl?My ptod-
glass and warn, no, often begging me
to not look toward the grade schools
for work.
Many of my own high school
teachers, seasoned veterans all, tell
me of how they are slowly taking
graduate classes so that they too can
teach at another level. Many of the
people I consider good teachers are
either avoiding "the riot zone" or join-
ing a mass exodus out of those schools.
By a "good" teacher I mean not just a
knowledgeable one, but a person who
is highly communicative and diverse,
able to appeal to many varying stu-
dents at once.
If you are unsure what all the
clamor is about, go sit in on a few
sophomore or junior level classes in a
typical state high school. You'll likely
see a good deal of teenagers discuss-
ing more important subjects than al-
gebra, English and history. You may
then see the teacher reprimand the
talkers with a verbal lashing that is
effective for all of three minutes, and
then repeat their empty threats. Often
a few bold students will show their
classmates how unafraid of tH? ?cher
they are and chaH?gc authority, only
tofec??v ' caaed penalty of going to
the principal's office for another stem
warning, perhaps a few days in in-
school suspension where they can
completely ignore the teacher, and a
nice visit to the school counselor who
understands what they must be going
through.
Now follow that teacher
through the other duties of the day.

:

Somebody higher up might catch some
heat for that.
Then, on certain odd days the
school's foremost authorities on world
history, math, literature, physical and
natural science, language and more
gather for meetings of which, in many
cases, people with no formal experi-
ence as educators (and often having
less education than the faculty) criti-
cize their methods and create new
agendas to tell them how to teach.
And at the end of this fairly i;
average day our teacher heads rag- i

Principals and superintendents
alike could easily criticize my hypo-
thetical painting of an average public

commonplace, and according to many
"soldiers very tame compared to ;
what occurs in many of the larger ;
public schools.

During Christmas break I had
an opportunity to see the concerned
elements of our state, maybe our na-
tion, in miniature. While half of my
gathered family argued vehemently
about football, the other half debated
on the state of education in North
Carolina. The teachers and parents of
students searched desperately for
some common ground upon which to
agree ? after all, they were familv.
But while one aunt (a longtime art

couldn't manage a mere group of fifth

Us a day long-awaited.

heT will handle three courses:
photojournalism, advanced ex
pository writing and producing
the student newspaper. He re-
sumes his profession 11 days shy
of the day five years ago that he
was taken prisoner.
Steen's wife, Virginia, teaches
art history at the liberal arts school
of 1,700 students 40 miles south of
Lansing. The couple, who met
while teaching in Beirut, have lived
near Albion in Clark Lake since
Steen was treed Dec. 3,1991, by his
Shiite Muslim captors.
"I do feel I'm more than ca-
pablenghtnow,at least that'show
I feel said Steen, who suffered
brain damage when his captors
kicked him in the head after a failed
escape1 attempt. He takes medica-
tion to control seizures and black-
outs
"My biggest problem will be
adapting to a Michigan winter
he said.
Steenisonlycommitted to teach
one semester. A brother in Florida
and histwo daughters in California
want him near them when his ob-
ligation at Albion ends.
'Talk about being torn' Steen
said. "1 think that I'll be satisfied to
stay here for the winter and per
haps a good part of the summer.
When it's over I will have to start
looking for another position some-
where
He's been offered at least a
temporary slot at American Uni-
versity in Washington, DC, he said.
But he's wary of the high cost of
living there. "These things 1 have to
keep in mind he said.
California is a strong lure. He
taught sporadically at Humboldt
State University in Arcata, Calif
between 1970 and 1981 and at Cali-
fornia State University inChico from
1981 to 1983.
Lebanon drewSteen in that year
with a job as copy editor at the
English-language Beirut Daily Star.
He had been teaching public rela-
tions at Beirut University College
since 1984 when he was kidnapped
Jan.24,1987.
Steen is unbothered by the
prospect that some Albion students
enrolled in his classes just to hear
hostage stories. "There will prob-
ably be more people wanting to
find out what life was like in the real
world he said.
Albion is lucky to get Steen,
said acting Provost Patricia Fnck.
"He brings considerable teach-
ing expenence in journalism, pho-
tojournalism and writing to Albion

And, Frick said, "He has the

Several other factors may have

Also, the communication de-
pa rtment needed i nstructors for the
Fall semester. Any urgency on the
part of the school's administration
may have resulted in higher pay for
the new instructors.
Wickern said Rose has looked
at everything and has not found
any justification for her to makeleis
money.

ROTC commissions officers
Special to The East Carolinian
Four ECU Army ROTC ca-
dets recently made the transition
from cadet to officer during a
commissioning ceremony held by
the Army ROTC department in
the Rawl Building on Dec. 7.
Major David Santa Ana, de-
partment chairman, hosted the
ceremonv which followed the ECU
Commencement Ceremony held
earlier that day. The commis-
sioning ceremony marked the end
of college life and the beginning of
a career as an Army officer for
four cadets.
During the ceremony, each
cadet took the oath of office. Fol-
lowing the oath, the new officers
had their gold lieutenant bars
pinned on by friends or family.
An audience of approximately 60
people witnessed the proceedings.
Second Lieutenant Jason
Johnson received an active duty
commission and was branched
into the Medical Services Corps
Second Lieutenant Luis Tavera
received a reserve duty cornmis
sion and was branched into the
Military Tolice. Second Lieuten
ants Bryan Bailey and Wolfgang
Biggerstaff were also commis
stoned, but must wait until later in
January to be assigned active or
reserve duty and be branched.
Second Lieutenants Bailey,
Johnson, and Biggerstaff received
their degrees during the com
mencement ceremony earlier that
day. Bailey and Johnson were
awarded undergraduate degrees
in criminal justice and psychology
respectively. Biggerstaff was
awarded a graduate degree:in
psychology. Second Lieutenant
Taveras will graduate in Mayof
1992 with a degree in busing
accounting. These officers vflll
now begin their military cares
by attending the Officer Bafic
Course offered by their assigmd
branches. ?

Does a year or semester of study in England, Scodand, Wales,
Ireland, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Finland, Sweden,
Hungary, Malta, Kenya, Mexico, Argentina, Costa Rica, Cyprus,
Korea, or Hong Kong sound interesting?
Sounds fantastic? But it's just not possible because: It's too
expensive; or it will delay graduation; or you aren't fluent in a
foreign language?
The truth of the matter is that many institutions offer programs in
ENGLISH. If, of course, you do have a fluency in another language,
then your choices of study sites will be even greater.
The cost? The cost of attending a participating institution in the
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM (ISEP)
is, except for travel costs, exactly the same as attending ECU. And,
in most cases, credits earnrd abroad can be transferred back to ECU.
It is a fact that some of the finest universities in the world are
available at ECU prices to qualified ECU students. For more

national and international, contact immmediately

Survey shows doctors follow their own dietary advice
IAP) ? You might know a doc-
tor who smokes cigarettes or one
whose belly is evidence ot overin-
dulgenceat thedessert table,but tor
the most part, a survey shows,
doctors follow their own dietary
advice.
Editors of the Harvard Health
otter, a newsletter tor consumers.
asked doctors about their health
habits in 1982 and last year. They
found, for example, that doctors eat
less red meat and fewer eggs and
more fiber these davs ? just as
they re telling patients to do.
The doctors w ho returned the
uestionnaires, all teaching phvsi-
are not perfect, however. Seventy-
two percent of the 672 respondents
said they eat ice cream or other rich
desserts at least once a week, 24
percent said they eat them four to
seven times a week, and 5 percent
said more than seven times. (The
question wasn't asked in the first
survey.)
"There's no doubt that doctors
are also human and make private
decisions much the same as anyone
else does Patricia Thomas, the
newsletter editor, said by telephone
from Boston. "No amount of edu-
cation makes us perfect. We all do
things we ought not
Doctorsand other experts have
suggested Americans reduce their
consumption of saturated fats,
found in most red meat. And the
doctors at Harvard appear to be
heeding that advice.
While 56 percent of the re-
spondentsin 1982 ate red meat more
than three times a week, just 10
percent said so in the later survey.
Egg consumption, possibly be-
cause of the high-cholesterol con-
tent of egg yolks, also was down,
from the 79 percent of respondents
who lOyears ago said theyate three
or fewer eggs a week, to 95 percent
the second time around.
Bu t despite these changes, only
14 percent said they ate fish more
than three times a week. (Doctors
were not asked about fish in 1982.)
Fiber was important to 41 per-
cent of the doctors a decade ago,
and to 59 percent last year.
"On the whole these findings
indicate that respondents are trying
to abide by the prevailing dietary
wisdom Dr. William Ira Bennett
wrote about the later study in the
January 1992 issueof the newsletter.
That's not to say they feel con-
tent with their weight.
Twenty-nine percent of the re-
spondents in 1982 said they weighed
more than 10 pounds above what
they'd like. Today, 39 percent were
worried about the same thing, and
74 percent said they are working to
control their weight, mostly through
both diet and exercise.
In 1982,49 percent of the doc-
tors said they did aerobic exercise
for 20 minutes at least three times a
week, compared with 53 percent in
the second survey.
Among other responses:
? Aspirin. The proportion of
respondents who take aspirin daily
to protect their hearts has nearly
quadrupled, from 7 percent to 25
percent. Bennett noted that in the
time between the two surveys, evi-
dence mounted of aspirin's role in
preventing heart attacks.
Vitamins. Fourteen percent
msat the Harvard Medical !xhool, Doctorsand other experts have 14 percent said they ate fish more worried about the same thing, and ? Vitamins. Fourteen percent the first time, 65
Experts say aspirin cures more than just headaches
(in. A.?? wn,v .4?? ,LJ h,Hvh?ah?TTvn?nlPn used drug in the world In Reye's syndrome, some "I!?1
took a daily multivitamin in 1982,
the same percentage who said they
used vitamin C to protect against
colds. In the later survey, 23 percent
said they took vitamin or mineral
supplements, with 13 percent rely-
ing on vitamin C to protect against
colds.
?Smoking. Respondents who
said they smoked decreased from 8
percent in 1982 to 3 percent today.
The 1982 survey drew 595
responses, 10 percent of them from
women. Last year, nearly a quarter
of the responses came from women.
Twenty-five questions were asked
the first time, 65 the second.
AP)? As the 1800s dwindled
down to a precious few, a German
ncnhst, looking to helphisarthntic
father, gave the 20th ccnturv a
present to cure 100 years of head-
i hes, a little white pill called aspi-
rin.
Now that same little white pill
las become a wonder of the latter
decades of the century.
It no longer just relieves head-
aches or the swollen joints of ar-
thritis.
?It is now credited with pre-
venting heart attacks and probably
strokes.
?It seems to act in some way
against cancer of the colon.
?It counters a sometimes fatal
hypertension during pregnancy.
It seems to slow the develop-
ment of cataracts in the elderly.
?And it may enhance the
ability of the immune svstem to
tight off viruses and bacteria.
Yet, in spite of its century-long
ubiquity, aspirin remains one of the
greatest medical mysteries. No one
had an inkling how it worked, what
it did inside the body, until 1970
and even now scientists wonder if
they know it all.
Today Americans take more
than 29 billion aspinn or aspirin-
containing tablets a year ? 80 mil-
lion a day some 40 percent of
them tor headaches
Thev work. They work so well,
in fact, that the little white pill has a
strong psychological effect. One
study shows that some people sense
relief when they only think they are
taking aspirin and really aren't.
All through the annals of mod-
ern medicine scientists and doctors
extol the little white pill.
Says Dr. Charles Hennekensof
Harvard Medical School and
Boston's Bngham and Women's
Hospital:
"In a sense aspirin is as old as
medici ne because Hippocratesused
the leaves and bark of the white
willow tree, the extracts from them,
to relieve the aches and pains of his
patients, which included women in
labor.
So we've jumped from500 B.C.
to 1900 and in the next 100 years
aspirin became the most widely
used drug in the world
In 1948, when modem aspirin
was only 50 years old, a search of
the medical literature came up with
4,000 published reports on aspirin.
In just the lOyears from 1975 to 1986
there were 4,000 more.
In short, science is still probing
and finding more effects of the little
white pill.
Not all the effects are virtuous.
Scientists knew early on that aspi-
rin irritated the stomach and found
ways to coat it or buffer it so it
would pass tnrough to the intes-
tines without causing harm.
Then in 1963, an Australian
pathologist named R.D.K. Reye
implicated aspirin in a strange dis-
order which was given his name.
I
In Reye's syndrome, some
children recovering from influenza
or chickenpox who took aspirin
began to vomit and later showed
signs of brain involvement ranging
from sleepiness to aggressive be-
havior.
Though aspirin was not shown
to be causative, the evidence was
strong enough in 1986 for the Brit-
ish Committeeon Safety of Medicine
to recommend that aspirin not be
given to children under the age of
12 except on a physician's advice.
But in any case, the occurrence
of Reye's syndrome is rare.
Aspirin is a non-prescription
drug proving itself useful against
ailments that require prescribable
remedies.
"The more we leam about the
science, how it interacts in the body,
there may be even more uses says
Dr. Thomas Bryant, president of the
Washington-based Aspirin Foun-
dation.
"But one must hasten to add
it's not a panacea, not a magic pill.
People shouldn't rush out and start
taking a lot of aspirin. You don't
take it without some consequences.
You can't take a lot of it and people
should beawareofthat. You should
consult with your physician and
see if you are one of those who can
benefit from it
Insights into aspirin's marvels
pile one upon the other. Twice it
won researchers Nobel Prizes.

Author explains meaning of life
By Matt Jones

Robert I ulghum's name has prob-
ably heard ol hismostfamouswork
I verything ! need to know 1 leamel

In that book, Fulghum ex
plained that life is too often confused
by irreievent details and may be
broken down intoa few simple rules;
rules which we all learned in km
dergarten.
The following arc a few ol
Fulghum's basics ol life: play tair;
put things back where you found
them; when you hurt someone, 'viv
you re sorry; w hen vou go out into
the world, hold hands and Muk
together and take a nap even af-
ternoon.
In sh,rt. I ulghum's first book

imes' top ten best selling book list
a position it has held for four
years.
It has become the Jonathon
I ivingston Seagull t the 90s; a
roadmap tor In ing life.
Since that book, Fulghum has
written two others It WasonFire
WhenlLayDownonltandUh Ofc,his
most recent.
With Was on ire, Fulghum
showed that hestill had theflarefor
life, although it somehow didn't
equal up to his original effort. I lis
latest book, continues the apparent
trend is even more
dissapointing than his hrst.
But even disappointing is not
bad for Fulghum.
1 hosevs ho have read hisbooks
know that theauthorwritesinessay
form about certain events in his life
which, when reviewed, produce
some all-encompassing aspect on
existence. It seems with this book,
however, Fulghum hasdecided that
all the events in his life "mean"
something and we end up having
to believe that there is .1 cosmic
parallel between blowing you nose
and the meaning of life.
What saves the book is the
truths that Fulghum does produce.
Although they are fewer and more
far between, compared to hisearlier
works, they can be found. And that
makes all the difference.
In 17i Oh, which is subtitled
Somel Observations from Both Sides ot
the Refrigerator Door, Fulghum ex-
plores the significance of eating
meatloaf in the middle of the night,
tclK ! the modem day equivalent
ot the fairy godmother, ponders
whether or not fireflies' lights burn
out. asks what makes a hiccup and
explains how to know when you're
in love.
Al though the book is filled with
some ramblmgs which don't seem
to mean much, it is worth reading
for the light it sheds on the previ-
ously mentioned subjects.
It is important to note that the
book should not be read in on !
sitting. Fulghum expounds upon
th.it notion in one section.
"It may help to emphasize that
it w.is written one part at a time' he
writes, "and the odds are that it will
make more sense if it's read the
same way
It's true.
There is too much information
to be digested in one reading. This
reviewer considers the bathroom
the best place for the book, where
everyone has time read one essay at
least once a day.
The answer, by the way, to the
question ot love is a good one. I'm I
won'truinitfor the readers. Getting
to it is half the fun.

JFK
raises
viewer's
suspicions
By Pamela Oliver
Staff Writer
There ha ve a 1 wa vs been ru mors
about underhanded deals behind
John F. Kennedy's assassination.
With the release of Oliver Stone's
recent movie, "JFK America'ssus-
ncions have resurfaced.
Someone who shiesaway from
politics might be intimidated bv the
movie's subject matter However,
anyone can enjoy this superbly-
made film starring such big names
as Kevin Costner, Sissv Spacek, and
Kevin Bacon.
Grabbed from the beginning,
theaudience is hurled back to 13.
John F. Kennedv is assassinated in
Dallas, Texas, in a parade. The film-
ing technique and the sounds of
shots ringing out from everywhere
effective! y provide tor the and ience
the feeling of fear and confusion.
The reactions oi the United
States citizens are mixed. For the
most part, they are devastated,
feeling confused and lost. Someare
outraged. Yet others cheer, even
praise the death of Kennedv. Con-
flicting emotions run rampant
throughout the entire world.
This shocking introduction to
the movie leads the audience to
formtheirownquestions. Thevare
overpowered by a strong desire to
know more about the murder of
their president.
For three yea rs the U ni ted S ta tes
government accepted the fact that
Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F.
Kennedy out oi cold blood, but not
District Attorney Jim Garrison,
played by Kevin Costner. Just the
suggestion that there might have
been a cover-up drove him to find
out the truth. He began asking
questionsthat noone had ever dared
toask. If Oswald didn't assassinate
Kennedy, the who did? And wh ?
Was there a larger group involved?
He was determined to find the an-
swers to thesedangerousquestions.
The audience easily becomes
caught up in Garrison's quest for
the truth and his willingness to
sacrifice his credibility and his
familv. Even his wife, played by
Sissy Spacek, doubts his findings in
his investigation of Kennedy's as-
sassination. Garrison risks every-
thing important to him in the pro-
cess of his investigation.
As the film rolls on. Garrison
realizes that the operation is much
bigger than anyone could conceive.
Tliere seem to be too many people
involved, almost too many to keep
up with. New names, important
names, keep popping up which lead
to whole new avenues to investi-
gate. The conspiracy to assassinate
John F. Kennedy apparently runs
amuck throughout most of the fed-
eral government, trickling down to
local police departments.

Adversity, beauty inspires
mountain artists to create art
w
ISONVILLE, Ky. (AP) -
Nestled among the Appalachian
foothills in lonely Eldridge Hollow
lies burgeoning group of artists
whose work is inspired as much by
adversity as beauty.
With thearea'sunemployment
running at about 24 percent, a mix-
tureof economic hardshipand bore-

Of) each other and have helped to
MMure each other said Adrian
Swain, curator of Morehead State
University's Folk Art Collection.
The rugged country along the
right fork of Newcombe Creek in
Eltiott County has provided much
of the artists' raw material.
In a twisted root from the back

A set of $8 discount-store chis-
els transformsa discarded chimney
stone into a bust reminiscent of an-
cient Africa artistry.
Lewis, whose last job was driv-
ing a coal truck in an area where
coal production has all but ceased,
said he began carving because he'd
"run out of anything to do But I
think it'sbecomea little morc tome
now. I call it art now
His cousin, Erma "junior"
Lewis, uses his tools to release fenv
cious American Indian-style totems
from ordinary logs. But those same
hands also have given expression
10 beautiful biblical scenes.
Despite the artists' diverse
styles, they share a common muse
? Minnie Adkins.
Adkins, a sturdy woman with
a spritely face, began peddling her
carvings about eight years ago to
supplement her husband's income.
The 57-year-old Adkinsencour-
aged her neighbors to start crea ti ng,
and her financial success was the
impetus they needed.
"Setting a piece of wood for a
lot of money? Everyone else was
into it, and 1 said, 'I could do that"
Tim Lewis said.
Adkins had toyed withcarving
and quilting all her life. But a visit to
Swain's own Morehead gallery in
1984 made her rcali zc her artistic ?
and economic ? potential.
Her first pieces were simple ?
little songbirds and roosters
whittled from forked sticks.
With the encouragement of
those first sales, she began to blos-
som, Swain said.
"1 watched her evolve from a
fairly modest beginning into what
became, really very quickly, in a
couple of years, quite bold Swain
said.
Adkins and her 63-year-old
husband,Garland, now share in the
design,carving and painting of cre-
ations that run from simple animal
figures to complicated biblical
scenes.
The couple's works are dis-
played in galleries, museums and
houses across the country. Some
pieces sell for as much as $1,500.
Junior Lewis, 43, took Adkins'
advice and started carving alliga-
tors, dogs, squirrels and other ani-
mals to supplement his tobacco
farming income.
Now, works such as his three-
dimensional "Garden of Eden"
fetch up to $600 apiece.
Adkins has used her fame to
help her neighbors market their
pieces.
When dealers come to Eld ridge
Hollow to buy the couple's work,
she sends them to other artists'
homes.
Linville Barker, 63, who
moved to Isonville after retiring as
a steel mill technician, was "climb-
ing the walls" from boredom.
Minnie Adkins urged Barker
to "make a little something so he
started carving what have become
his trademark: faceless pigs, cats
and other animals.
"Minnichad somebody lookat
them, and he bought everything I
had Barker said.

love with acting, with expression
and storytelling, with the sheer joy
of pouring himself into his charac-

Even in this casual setting, that
shows: his inflections, his concen-
tration, the shifts in mexxi between
playful and thoughtful, the sweep-
ing hand movements, the way he
curls and spreads his long fingers.

of people told me 1 was shy said
Kline. "1 think what they meant
was I was emotionally repressed
and not forthcoming.
"One of the things 1 didn't like

humble?
PHILADELPHIA (AP) ?
Quiet, enigmatic singer Chris
Cornell of the not-so-quiet but
equally enigmatic quartet
Soundgarden wrote a song for the
Kind's new album after spending
10days in a room without talking to
anyone.
He said he closes himself away
like that "when I have the chance
"1 got really used tobcingalone,
even at a very young age, out of
choice Cornell said in a telephone
interview. "Not seeing my friends,
not answering the phone, and just
living in my own world
"I think I'm a little bit too
sensitive to, or too vulnerable to,
what someone else might be feel-
ing when they're around, and so it
tends to be work, subconsciously,
to be around other people he said.
"Sometimes that can worry
you, too, because you don't want
to break down where you can't
really function with other
people"
Soundgarden's music really is
suited for those times when you're
alone. It'sbnxxiing, introspective.
Thcband'sl989dcbutonA&M,
"Louder Than Love helped bring
the music world's attention to the
Seattle scene and defined and so-
lidified its sound.
That debut was a record
drenched in guitarist Kim Thayil's
minor chords that snarled and
droned their way around Cornell's
sometimes crooning, sometimes
roaring, vocals.
Its lyrics drew dispiriting pic-
tures of the lust for power and con-
trol,revolution,and environmental
destruction.
The band's new album,
"Badmotorfinger is no less pow-
erful and often no less dismal, but is
an altogether more mature effort.
One track, "Jesus Christ Pose
which Cornell said addresses "an
individual'spersecution complex
has prompted fans to write to the
band's fan club, saying their par-
ents were upset with the song's ac-
companying video. The clip fea-
tures crucified women and skel-
etons.
"I think people are afraid of it
just because of the title he said. "I
don't think most people who take
offense to most things in art or mu-
sic tend to look past the surface.
"It wasn't so much religious as
being annoyed with the exploita-
tion of symbols tha t are held sacred,
especially that one (the cross).
"It's not really my responsibil-
ity to understand someone else's
feelings or ideas or attitudes when
it comes to being an artist or a
writer.
"It's more their responsibility
to understand what I'm doing if it
bothers them he said.

Tension in the theater rises; the
ideas presented would scare any-
one. The realization that "JFK" is
not just another movie makes most
people squirm.
For a 11 who see "JFK the mo vie
inspires thoughts they have never
thought before. It raises questions
about every aspect of the govern-
ment system that has been trusted
for so long. These thoughts should
make all Americans feel uncom-
fortable and curious to find out how
much the government can be
trusted.
Younger audience members
will be amazed as they watch the
past come alive. Twenty-five years
have passed since Jim Garrison's
investigation started, yet they will
see and understand all the fear and
rage of the people as the past is
brought back to life before their
eyes. JFK is an outstanding history
lesson for those who are too young
to have experienced the assassina-
tion first hand.
For the members of the audi-
ence who were alive when John F.
Kennedy was assassinated, JFK is a
reminder of what they experienced
back then. Most will relive their
own emotions they felt when they
first heard of the shooting and the
hate thev felt for Oswald when he
was arrested for the murder of the
President of the United States. They
will remember their fear when they
heard the rumors of the conspiracy
that might have taken place in the
higher levels of the country's gov-
ernment.
Costner makes this movie come
alive. Not once is the reality of his
character questioned. The personal
and professional drive to discover
what truly happened to the presi-
dent is apparent in everything he
does and says. The audience can
easily pick up on his every emotion.
Costner is familiar with the type
of role he plays in JFK, a strong-
willed man who marches to a dif-
ferent drum. He is driven to live his
life against the grain of popular
thought.
Just as in "Dances with Wolves"
and "Field of Dreams society casts
stones and calls him insane, because
they don't understand or don't want
to believe what he stands for. But
there is no stopping this man with a
quest for truth.
Costner has proven once again
that he can handle an intense, dra-
matic role and mezmerize his au-
dience with his character's passion.
In this particular film, he has proven
that he can give a powerful enough
performance to cause the audience
to question one of the most influen-
tial organizations in the world, the
United States government.
Sissy Spacek gave a believable
performance asGarrison's wife. She
plays the role of the dutiful wife
who does her best to support her
husband, despite the personal con-
flicts she has with his work. Spacek
gives an especially touching per-
formance when she finally believes
in her husband. This role fits her
like a glove.
Kevin Bacon has an interesting
role in "JFK He is a convicted
criminal who solves some unan-
swered questions of Garrison's.
This role is quite different from
what Bacon has played in the past.
Speaking with a heavy Southern
drawl, he tells of his mostly homo-
sexual involvement with the group
that Garrison suspects killed
Kennedy.
If a film is determined suc-
cessful by the extent of the emotions
stirred in the hearts of those watch-
ing, orby the intensity of the drama,
then "JFK" should be the most
successful movie of this season.
Viewers are kept on the edge of
their seats, because they know that
the characters and the events are
real. They are a part of our nation's
history.

Theatre helps teach medical interns
Chapel Hill ? The young
woman dons a white lab coat and
prepares to rruvt her patients. She
hasn't graduated from medical
school vet ? but she is no im-
ister.
She's an actress. The "patients"
are performers, too. But all are
working toward health-carecarccrs
or already practicing them. And
their stints with the UNC Staged
Readings Company at the Univer-
sity of North Carolina at Chapel

The company is a component

111 School of Medicine. The Na-
tional Endowment for the Humani-
ties awarded the N.C. Humanities

the project the first of its kind in the
nation. Medical schoolsat Dukeand
the East Carolina universities also
participate.
A project like this really does
providemedical students the chance
to explore their role in society and

Nancy M.P. King, theater founder
and assistant professor of stxrial
medicine at UNC-CH.
Literary works, usually
adapted short stones, provide the
vehicles through which students,
faculty and staff from the UNC-Ch
School of Medicine, other campus
departments and UNC Hospitals
leant by performing and bv in-
teracting with audience members
afterward.
The theater groups travel to li-
braries, county medical societies,
retirement communities and com-
munity centers around the state to
perform and discuss the stories, all
of which address doctor-patient is-
sues.
Audiences generally welcome
the chance to share their views on
the issues raised by the presenta-
tions, "all of the stories we do cause
people to make connections with
medical experiences they've had
Mid King.
Director Richard Robeson said,
"The succcssof anevent is measured
by the extent to which the audience
becomes involved in thediscussion

One of the original consultants
for the medical theater project,
Robeson finds his directing duties
rewarding. "1 like being involved
with any sort of art form that asso-
ciates itself with ideas and the
thought process he said. "Theater
helps people consider the world
outside themselves
Performers sometimes are sur-
prised by audience perspectives,
said King. For example, audience
members might feel sympathetic
toward a doctor character for who
the medical students feel no sym-
pathy, or vice versa.
The actors are also interested in
hearing the expectations patients
have, said King. Most of the stu-
dentsarein their first or second year
of medical school and haven't
worked in the hospital, she said.

ings Company favors adapted

Carlos Williams, whose story "A
Face of Stone" was performed dur-
ing the fall.
Another Williams short story
will be performed in the spring.
"Old Doc Rivers" is about an alco-
holic, drug-addicted man who is
his community's only doctor. The
story raises questions concerning
who gets to be doctor and what
makes a good doctor, King said.
Short stories evoke thoughtful
commentary, said King. "I like the
richness with which you can have a
discussion about ethics when it's
coming out of literature she said.
Robeson recalled an earlier
production adapted from a work
by Katherine Anne Porter and per-
formed for the Moore County
Medical Society. In the story, parents
whosechild maybe retarded follow
doctors' recommendations to insti-
tutionalize him.
The production raised ques-
tions on which doctors in the audi-
ence were polarized, said Robeson.
"Is the whole family the patient, or
just the child? Is there a lack of
compassion? Is the child being
martyred? It made for a lively de-
bate he said.
Robeson, a writer, poet, music
teacher and composer, enjoys di-

East Carolina's performances are

it would detract from focusing on

pjraucSattempts
to salvage 'Rosie'
LOS ANGELES (AP) - In
an industry where few speak
their mind with anything ap-
proaching candor, television
producer Barney Rosenzweig is
an anomaly.
Not only does he speak his
mind, but most recently he spent
$50,000 to vent it through ads in
The New York Times, USA To-
day and the Los Angeles Times.

sing ' hippy Birthday If you got a
callback you could sing Tomorrow
I auditioned several times.
"When 1 was 11 I was down to
the last 10 girls for Annie. I was too
tall at the time. I wore baggy pants
and bent my knees. But they caught
on and threw me right out. It was
kind of depressing. I never got to
play Annie
Gibson, who grew up in
Merrick, Long Island, recalls that
when she was5 she said, I want to
be on Broadway someday I hadn't
seenanything. It justalwaysseemcd
it was the highest place you could
be.
"The first time 1 was in a theater
was toaudition, not to sceanything.
The first show I saw was 'Annie I
was 7 or 8.1 kept thinking, 'Am I
dreaming? I can't believe I'm here
seeing a Broadway show
Over the years, she kept on au-
ditioning.
'Tor Tvita' you were supposed
to have dark hair she recalls. "I
went anyway. I auditioned for Star-
light Express That looked like a
scene from 'Funny Girl I was on
roller skates. I couldn't skate to save
my life. I never even got to sing my
16 bars on that one.
"There was a show that closed
in previews, Surf Gty where I was
called back 11 times. It was Beach
Boys music. It seemed like a good
idea
Gibson auditioned for Eponine
before "Les Miz" opened in 1987.
Now that she's 21, Gibson thinks
she was too young to play Eponine
then. "I'm ready now.
'She'sin love with Manus (the
young male lead, a revolutionary)
but he's in love with Cosette (Jean
Valjcan's adopted daughter).
Eponine dies in his arms on the
barracade. She sings 'On My Own'
and 'A Little Fall of Rain' with
Manus as she is dying.
"In the beginning you see her
as a little girl. I'm not Eponine until
a third of the way into the show.
Before thatl playchorus roles which

farm worker, a prostitute where
they sing 1ovely Ladies
Last summer Gibson was on
the road, giving concerts.
"I was performing 'On My
Own she says. 'It was a bit of a
risky thing to do, for a pop audi-
ence. The response was amazing.
Young kids knew where it came
from. I spoke a little about 'Les Miz'
and how I wanted to do this role
someday. They applauded at the
mention of 'Les Miz
"I wanted to introduce this song
to people and they knew it already
Gibson will be in "Les Miz" at
the Imperial Theater for three
months, replacing NatalieToro who
is taking a vacation. Then she'll work
on a fourth album.
The singer is also popular in
Japan, where there are DebbieGibson
clothing stores.
"The Japanese designer came to
my house and went through my
closet she says. 'The store is a big
version of my closet
About her third album selling
"only" a million copies, she says, "I
guess that's not that important to
me. I don't think it was because I
wasn't a teen anymore. In people's
minds there's a bump in the road
there. In reality there is not.
"I think if s because that album
was half pop rock and half ballads
?musical music. If you listen to the
radio, there is very little musical
music. It frustrates me no end that
ballads these days are based on a
groove instead of a melody.
"I don't smoke, drink or do
drugs. Some people lump that to-
gether with I'm a wimp and don't
have a mind.
And some people have a hard
time watching me grow up.
Some say, Wear something
sexy The other half says. Stay 16
E very one else i s goi ng to ha ve to do
the adjusting. I'm going to grow up
however I grow up
The day she turned 21, on Aug.
31, Gibson had flu and a fever. She
stayed in bed all day but sang that
night at an AIDS benefit in Los An-
geles. "I see performing on my
birthday as a treat as opposed to

"Cruise passengers take out

Captains work harder on an
Atlantic crossing. Fog off theGrand
Banks and the world's most unpre-
dictable sea and weatherconditions
require long hours on the bridge.

"Three,formal nights in a row
and all those receptions
Crossing people tend to spend
less time in the casino, the physical
fitness rooms, the "computer learn-
ing center" and similar innovations
borrowed from the cruise ships.
They are more apt to be at shuffle-
board when the noon whistle bel-
lows or tossing deck quoits as, di-
rectly overhead, theConcordeemits
its double sonic boom on a flight
path subtly coordinated with the
shi p. They get as excited as Colum-
bus' crewat sighting the first seagull
and shiver at the rail by dawn's
early light to catch Bishop's Rock
Light, England's earliest landfall,
blinking over the horizon.
The fate of the Titanic is their
constant fascination. The entire
crew is pestered with queries as to
when the ship will approach lati-
tude 41.46 north, longitude 50.14
west, where that murderousiceberg
lurked on an April night in 1912.

BEND, Ore. (AP) ? Frank
a nd Ed, the lovable hayseed huck-
sters for Bartles & Jayies wine
coolers, are out of work.
"It was a hell f a ride while
it lasted said rancher David
Rufkahr, who portrayed Frank
Bartles, the one who did all the
talking in thepopularseven-year
ad campaign.
The end came without fan-
fare. Rufkahr, who lives just out-
side Bend, didn'teven get to keep
the straw fedora and
suspenders.
'That's all theirs he said.
"It's down there in creative ser-
vices
Officials of Emest and Julio
Gallo, which produces the wine
coolers, wouldn't comment on
the end of the campaign.
"They're going in a different
di rection, I guess, so they released
us said Rufkahr, whose last con-
tract expired about Nov. 1.
"They always informed us
in writing before then that they
were going to use us.
But thev didn't send us anv

notification this time, so 1 kind of
got the feeling it was fading
away he said.
Rufkahr, who got the call
shortly before Christmas, saw it
coming.
"That's what they told us
when we first started he said.
You make a national
commercial, it's usually good
for six months It just kept go-
?- - tr
ing.
The campaign helped make
Bartles & James the nation's top
selling wine cooler.
Frank's deadpan trademark
comment, "And thank you for
your support became part of
the American lexicon.
Rufkahr and Santa Rosa,
Calif building contractor Dick
Maugg, who played the reticent
Ed Jaymes, shot their last com-
mercial in April.
In that spot, Frank has laryn-
gitis, which forces Ed to talk.
Rufkahr's face may be well
known across America, but the
commercials didn' t make him all
that rich, he said.
"We wasdoin' all right he
said. "I made good money, but 1
