ECU ranks in top ten
By Stephanie Lassiter
Staff Writer
Not only is ECU one of the
best party schools in the south,
it is also one of the best buys in
the South.
According to U.S. News and
World Report, ECU ranks in the
top 10 of best buys in the South.
The study, published in the Oct.
11 issue, was based on "sticker
price
To determine what schools
were the best sticker price, the
magazine ranked the schools
academically in their Oct. 4 is-
sue.
The U.S. News quality
rank was divided by the total
tuition, fees and room and board
for the 1993-94 academic year.
The higher the ratio of quality
to price, the better the value.
To qualify as a top ten in
monetary value, the school had
to rank near the top of their
category in academic quality.

Three North Carolina
schools were included in the top
10 of the best sticker value
schools in the region. They are
ECU, Appalachian State Univer-
sity, University of North Caro-
lina at Asheville.
The best value sticker price
rank measures the cost of tu-
ition, fees and room and board
while considering the academic
value.
Several other North Caro-
lina schools ranked as best val-
ues in other categories. Duke
University and UNC-Chapel
Hill were in the top 25 "dis-
counted price best value" na-
tional universities. N.C. State
and UNC-Chapel Hill were
among the top 25 "sticker price
best value" national universi-
ties.
The discounted price best
value takes into consideration
tuition price, room and board,
fees, books and estimated per-
sonal expenses. Then, the aver-
age of its need-based grants in
aid are subtracted from the
costs.
According to U.S. News and
World Report, as many as three
out of four freshmen at some
schools receive financial aid.
Therefore, the discounted price
is becoming very relevant.
Based on U.S. News and
World Report's figures, the av-
erage ECU student spends
59,564 per academic year on
tuition, fees and room and
board.
ASU ranked slightly
higher at $10,064. Universities
in the West ranked the highest,
or most expensive. Students at
Santa Clara University in Cali-
fornia were estimated to spend
$18,783 per academic year on
tuition, fees and room and
board.
The cheapest schools,
listed, in the "sticker price best
value" category, were found in
the south.

Who does more partying,
ECU students or ECU alumni?
After Homecoming weekend,
many former students will un-
doubtedly be found recuperating
from a hectic weekend of golfing,
tennis, dancing, eating, drinking
and celebrating. Not necessarily
in that order, of course.
Meanwhile, current stu-
dents will probably enjoy only
the latter of these activities.
Another difference between
the celebrating that takes place
during Homecoming is that all
alumni parties are sponsored by
ECU, while current students are
expected to maintain the tradi-
tional " Bring Your Own motif.
ECU offers alumni many
opportunities to reunite as well as
many chances to have a grea t time
while they visit the ECU commu-
nity.
"Homecoming is always an
exciting and festive time on the
ECU campus said Donald Y.

for alumni relations. "We look
forward to having large numbers
of alumni return to the campus,
so we can reacquaint them with

UNITED NATIONS (AP)
? After the debacle in Somalia,
the U.S. administration is shy-
ing away from multilateral ac-
tion. Instead of entertaining the
idea of GIs in blue berets in hot
spots, the new U.S. new motto
for U.N. peacekeeping seems
borrowed from the Reagan anti-
drug slogan: just say no.
Senior U.N. officials are

"Damn the torpedoes! Go
ahead These famous words spo-
ken by Admiral David Farragut in
the famous Civil War battle of
Mobile Bay inspired an underwa-
ter survey team from ECU to head
to the site of the battle.
Five students, two ECU
graduates, and team leader, ar-
chaeologist Gordon P. Watts, all
from the graduate program in
Maritime History and Nautical
Archaeology, plan to examine
three battleships that sank more
than a century ago. They left on
Oct. 5 and will return around Oct.
31.
While in Mobile, the divers
will explore and survey three
ships; the C.S.S. Gaines, the U.S.S.
Philippi and the U.S.S. Tecumseh.
The five-student team mem-
bers, led by Watts, recently re-
turned from practicing mapping
and surveying techniques on an
18th century British shipwreck in
Bermuda. Their latest expedition
will be based at Fort Morgan, a
park site near the entrance to Mo-
bile Bay.
The team will assess the
wreck sites for the U.S. Depart-
ment of Interior, National Park
Service and for the U.S. Navy,
funded by a $20,000 grant. The
study may improve the way the
Park Service manages its battle-
field protection program.
The Park Service presently
protects historic battlefields, but
the protection only applies to battle
sites on land. According to Gor-
don P. Watts, the work performed
by the diving team could lead to
the protection and management
plans for historic nautical battle
sites. These sites would include
Mobile Bay; Fort Fisher, N.C; and
Yorktown, Va.
The most famous of the three,
the Tecumseh, struck a torpedo or a
mine at the beginning of the battle
and sank in 25 seconds, killing 93
men. Stunned by the hit, the Union
fleet momentarily failed in its
progress until Admiral Farragut
climbed to the upper deck of the
flagship Hartford, lashed himself
to the rigging and allegedly yelled
the words so many people remem-
ber today.
Now,most of the Tecumseh's
hull is hidden by mud and silt. Jeff
Morris, Tim Hastings, Ted Dunlap,
and Lex Turner, all ECU students,
will note the exposed area and
determine the deterioration of
the ship, and hopefully feel the
spiritofthewarthathelpedmold
our country.
The Gaines, one of the other
two ships to be surveyed by the
team, was an armor-clad ship
and was one of very few used by
the Confederacy. Its com-
mander, under the threat of de-
feat, ran his vessel aground in an
attempt to save the guns.
The Philippi, once owned
by a Confederate blockade run-
ner and named the Ella, was con-
verted into a gunboat by the
Union forces. The Confederate
artillery sank it during the battle.
The team's leader, Watts,
is one of North Carolina's most
experienced underwater ar-
chaeologists. He was part of
the team that discovered the
Lf.S.S. Monitor off North
Carolina's coast in the early
1970s.
Over the summer, Watts
worked with an international
research team in France to help
excavate the C.S.S. Alabama, a
Confederate raider that was
sunk in the English Channel by
the Lf.S.S. Kearsarge in 1864.

ECU recognizes outstanding alumni
Study warns against drinking games
Chug-a-lug and other drinking games ore not as harmless as
college students maj think, warn two researchers in a recently
published study. Nearly 4,000 alcohol-consuming students from
58 American colleges and universities were surveyed about the
games they play when drinking. While students who identified
themselves as "light" or "moderate" drinkers experienced few
alcohol-related problems, those who played a drinking game
within the preceding year significant! v increased the probability of
negative consequences in 15 of 17drinking-related behaviors, the
report said. While the researchers said more emphasis should be
placed on drinking games in campus alcohol prevention programs
and messages, the messages that stress abstinence from drinking
have proved to not be effective among college students.
Miami professor fired for sexual harassment
Ahigh-profile University of Miami professor from the Gradu-
ate School of International Studies (GSIS) was fired for sexual
harassment and other charges in late September, following an
investigation which began in 1992. Professor Jiri Valenta was
terminated by a unanimous vote of the Executive Committee of the
UM Board of Trustees after professor Vandulka Kubalkova filed a
formal complaint against Valenta for sexual harassment, abuse of
power and financial improprieties. The charges were substanti-
ated through the testimonies of 53 witnesses over a 15-day period,
which generated more than 3,500 pages of transcript. Charges
surrounding Valenta's dismissal include physically touching seven
women, including grabbing their breasts and buttocks, inviting
women to bear his children and threatening retaliation when his
advances were rebuffed.
Students arrested in prostitution ring
Three University of Arizona students were arrested for alleg-
edly running a prostitution ring near the campus and employing
college-age women, according to the Daily Wildcat. It was undeter-
mined whether the women involved in the ring were U A students,
the campus newspaper reported. According to police reports, a 19-
year-old woman who was employed by Elite Escort Service agreed
to have sex for money with an undercover police officer at a hotel
near the Tucson International Airport. The arrests took place after
police investigated an advertisement reading, "Elite Escort Service

MTV says it will review 'Beavis and Butthead'
MORAINE, Ohio (AP) ?
MTV said it will take another look
atitsshow "Beavisand Butt-head"
after a woman whose 5-year-old
son set a fatal house fire, blamed
the cartoon for promoting burn-
ing as fun.
Austin Messner, whose 2-
year-old sister died in the fire,
watched an episode in which the
cartoon characters said fire is fun,
said Moraine Fire Chief Harold
Sigler.
"According to the mother,
right after that she caught him
playing with ma tches Sigler said.
Austin; his mother, Darcy
Burk; and her boyfriend, Steve
Sears, escaped.
His 2-year-old sister, Jessica
Matthews, died in the fire Wednes-
day.
"Beavis and Butt-head" fea-
tures two animated teen-agers
who comment on rock videos and
spend time burning and destroy-
ing things.
Carole Robinson, a spokes-
woman for MTV, said Friday that
the cable network would "re-ex-
amine issues regarding 'Beavis
and Butt-head "
"Responsibly programming
MTV has always been and will
continue to be our top priority
she said.
Sigler said he wants MTV
to eliminate any shows that
might encourage playing with
fire and would like to see vio-
lence on the program reduced.
"When you take a child in
the formative years and you get
these cartoon characters saying
it's fun to play with fire this is
going to stick in that kid's mind
and it's going to be with him for
a long time Sigler said.

"It's like this ? the more time stu-

their behavior changes. When he's
in their blood at a .02 or .03 level,
they start relaxing and become
more outgoing. At .05 to .12, they
start to lose control and can hurt
themselves. Not that they would
ever admit that, though Lager
shook his head in disgust and con-
tinued.

what was going on. "What about
after they drink, Lager?"

ness, is the largest and most active
professional society on campus,
according to Betty Wilson, associ-
ate dean of the business program,
and is comprised of business
graduates, staff and friends of the
school.
"Our intention is to main-
tain strong ties with our former
u ilson said. "It's air
tunit) for a Little interac-
rhe celebration is also an
o portunity to say "th.ink-vou" to
art) alumni who have do-
nated monej to the club over the
years, Wilson said.
" I heir donations provide a
better school of business for our
students she said. "Funds gen-
erated through the Commerce
Club supplement our state funds,
and help us provide a greater
margin of excellence that goes
above and beyond most profes-
sional societies
The club began in 1983 with
only 25 members, and very little
money.
Today, over 1,000 members
contribute to the rapidly expand-
ing program.
Dean of the School of Busi-
ness Dr. Ernest Uhr and 31 of the
school's friends and alumni orga-
nized the club's first meeting. At-
tendance has flourished since,
Wilson said.
The club works hard to in-
crease student awareness of the
club, Wilson said. Every business
graduate receives a complimen-
tary one-year membership, Wil-
son said, with the opportunity to
maintain that membership for a
small fee.
Last year's membership
dues paid for their twice-yearly
newsletter, and an annual report.
"We've become a very sig-
nificant influence to our students
now, and when they graduate
Wilson said. "We have about 250
people sitting in our reserved sea ts
for the game Saturday, we've
never had this before
In the past three years, two
winners of the Commerce Club's
Teaching Excellence Award have
gone on to receive an ECU Uni-
versity Teaching Award, Wilson
said.
Club members will gather at
9 a.m. Saturday morning on the
third floor of the General Class-
room building. One attraction is a
"Time Tunnel" created by mem-
bers. Beginning with the '50s and
covering right through to the '90s,
the club has devoted a separate
classroom for each decade. Inside,
memorabilia illustrating that time
period will be on display.
Other activities include an
anniversary cake-cutting, class
reunions and a special recogni-
tion of the club's 1,000th member.
Judge dismisses juror, orders new deliberations
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Af-
ter eight tumultuous days of delib-
erations, the jury in the Reginald
Denny bearing trial is starting alJ
over again without a juror who the
others complained couldn't grasp
the issues.
Superior Court Judge John
Ouderkirk removed the juror on
Monday after receiving a note
about her from the forewoman.
The woman "cannot compre-
hend anything that we'vebeen try-
ing toaccomplish the forewoman
wrote. She added: "This has noth-
ing to do with her views on issues
or her personality. She doesn't use
common sense
The anonymous, sequestered
jury is deciding the fate of two
black men accused of attacking
Denny, a white truck driver.
Deliberations were to resume
today.
After receiving complaints
earlier about a problem juror, the
judge on Saturday gave jurors the
rest of the weekend to cool off.
Damian Williams, 20, and
Henry Watson, 29, are charged with
attempting to murder Denny in
1992 during the riots that broke out
after four white policemen were
acquitted in state court in the heat-
ing of black motorist Rodney King.
The defendants could get life in
prison.
Meanwhile, the two police-
men convicted in federal court of
violating King's civil rights, Of-
ficer Laurence Powell and Sgt.
Stacey Koon, were scheduled to
report to prison today to begin their
2 1 2-year sentences.
The dismissed juror, who is
black, was replaced by a young
Asian- American womandrawnby
lottery from among the alternates.
The jury in the racially vola tile case
now consists of three blacks, two
Asian-Americans, three whites and
four Hispanics.
Defense lawyers objected to
the juror's removal, which was re-
quested by the prosecution, and
asked the judge to declare a mis-
trial. He refused.

Preston said that although
Je has done extensive research on

tarolina, poor record keeping
' made gaining information on the
"early days of Homecoming diffi-

"The Homecoming history

ton said that the cer-
emony originally was held in the
spring But when East Carolina
reaching College (ECTC) started
competing in football in 1932, the
ceremony migrated to the fall.
Preston said that this year's cer-
emonv is one that should be very
important to Pirate football fans.
"This year's ceremony marks
the 60th anniversary of our foot-
ball program's first victory, a 6-0
win over Campbell
According to Jeffery
Marshall, Assistant director of
University Unions, this year's
"Live the Magic" theme is one of
the best he has seen.
"The theme was developed
in our steering committee last
year Marshall said. "It was sug-
gested by Tony Cox, the former
director of the Marching Pirates.
After the committee sent in all of
their ideas, we found that to be the
best one
Local residents and ECU stu-
dents alike will be able to see the
Homecoming magic firsthand at
many activities which the Univer-
sity has planned. This year's pa-
rade will be broadcast live on
WITN-TV. And according to
Preston, the annual Piratefest will
be "bigger and better" this year.
In an attempt to add a
multicultural flair to theevent, the
university will feature a "step
show" followed by a performance
by comedian Derek Fox III, known
for his appearance on the hit show
"Def Comedy jam Preston said
he hopes that these attractions help
to start a new tradition at ECU.
"There will be a lot of height-

Wal-Mart guilty of price war tactics
CONWAY, Ark. (AP) ?
The nation's largest retailer sold
merchandise below cost in an
effort to drive competitors out
of business, a judge ruled to-
day. Chancery Judge David
Reynolds ordered Wal-Mart
Stores Inc. to stop selling drugs
and health and beauty aids be-
low cost at its store in Conway.
The ruling was in a lawsuit
filed by three logical pharma-
cies which accused Wal-Mart of
"predatory pricing" to drive
them out of business.
The judge said the local
Wal-Mart store violated the
state's Unfair Practices Act by
advertising and selling pharma-
ceuticals and health and beauty
aids below cost "for the pur-
pose of injuring competitors and
destroying competition
The suit was brought by
Dwayne Goode, owner of
American Drugs Inc. of Conway;
Jim Hendrickson, owner of
Baker Drug Store of Conway;
and Tim Benton of Mayflower
Family Pharmacy. Reynolds
said he based his ruling in part
on Wal-Mart's stated pricing
policy to "meet or beat the com-
petition without regard to cost
An appeal to the state Su-
preme Court is likely, since the
case involves the first test of the
Unfair Practices Act. At the trial,
company officials said Wal-
Mart's pricing policy was de-
signed to make a profit, not to
injure competitors.
A news writer's meeting to assign stories, provide
direction, guidance and a path to follow will be
held today at 5:45 p.m. Excuses for not
attending must he submitted 3 days in advance.

Germany accepts Maastricht Treaty
BONN, Germany (AP) ?
Germany's highest court ruled
today that the Maastricht Treaty
on European union doesn't vio-
late this country's constitution,
clearing the way for implemen-
tation of the historic accord.
The Constitutional Court
said it had struck down legal
challenges to the treaty, which
already has been ratified by the
12 EC nations' parliaments or
voters.
Final implementation
hinged on the German court's
approval.
The treaty calls for open-
ing a European Monetary Insti-
tute on Jan. 1 as the precursor to
a Europe-wide central bank,
which is to be in place no later
than Jan. 1, 1999. The indepen-
dent central bank will eventu-
ally issue a single currency, re-
placing existing national curren-
cies.
Under the accord, the EC
nations will work to forge com-
mon foreign, security and even-
tually defense policies.
The EC will have more
powers in education, public
health, culture, consumer pro-
tection, industry, research and
the environment.
A negative ruling today
would have created a crisis for
the EC, which has staked its fu-
ture on turning the community
into a world power through eco-
nomic, political and monetary
union.
The court said it wants as-
surances that Germany's parlia-
mentary bodies won't lower
substantial powers to European
institutions.
But reservations expressed
by the court won't require EC
nations to renegotiate the treaty.
The pact, negotiated by EC
leaders in December 1991 in the
Dutch town of Maastricht, was
challenged in the Constitutional
Court by a mix of groups, in-
cluding both rightists and left-
ists.
They argued, among other
things, that it violates the
nation's constitution by trans-
ferring too many national pow-
ers to EC headquarters in Brus-
sels, Belgium.

By Alex Ferguson
Dental visits: getting to the 'root' of the problem
Beavis and Butthead" blamed for
death of child, MTV considers re-
examining programming
belie able.
An Ohio mother is actually blaming a cartoon tor
the death of her child. A cartoon! You know, those
two-dimensional, fantastical, kid-loved characters that
made Saturday mornings super-duper great.
Well, okay, this is "Beavis and Butthead two
deranged, pathetic, clueless teenagers with a pen-
chant tor the words "suck" and "shut-up Yep,
ivisand Butthead an MTV cartoon that until last
u eek 1 had ne er entirely sat through. "Loony Toons"
is one thing, but "Beavis and Butthead" is just plain
stupid.
The situation goes something like this: a 5-year-
old boy started a tire that killed his younger sister.
This boy's mother is convinced that the idiot cartoon
is the cause of the young boy's actions. Now, please
understand that every svmpathv is extended to the
mother as far as the loss oi her 2-vear-old daughter is
concerned, but to take the blame this far is, in fact,
loony.
The question has to be asked: why is a 5-year-old
child allowed to watch MTV in the first place? As a
kid, I remember being locked out of my parents'
bedroom after school, simply because the cable TV
was there and they felt it within my best interests to
prohibit me from viewing that new-fangled cable
channel called MTV. They cared, and were watching
out for my well-being, don't you see? Why on earth
would you let a child in his developing, formative
years watch a show that very obviously is geared
toward a more mature (or immature) audience?
And another thing ? this 5-year-old had access
to a cigarette lighter, with which he started said fire.
This is grave mistake number two. Never leave a
lighter or matches somewhere that a child (that is, one
not vet readv to decide these things on hisher own)
can find it, take it, touch it or see it. Never, never,
never!
Kids generallv find fire fascinating. And that has
nothing to do with "Beavis and Butthead Fire has
been cool even before the word "cool" was used in
everyday speech to indicate the acceptance of some-
thing. To kids, fire is something pretty and scary and
dangerous, all rolled into one. Who's going to deny
that? Kids tend to like the dangerous, walk-the-line
stuff. Hell, who are we kidding, adults are just as
fascinated with fire and danger as kids are! But we're
not going to go out and randomly set fire to things
because we're adults and we don't do things like that!
At least, we're not supposed to
O.K obviously this Ohio mother loves her son
and does the best she can at raising him, but she
related to firefighters on the scene that she was so
concerned with his behavior since he started watch-
ing the show that she took the boy's bedroojn door off the
hinges in order to watch him more closely. Hello!
lady, if you can carry a thought process as far as
removing a door from its hinges, you certainly can see
that a television show is maybe not quite suitable for
your wee tot?!
To all the parents out there ?please don't blame
MTV, "Beavis and Butthead cable television, the
anvils that fall on Wile E. Coyote's head, HBO or
anvthing else if you can't see it within yourself to get
off your butt and cancel your cable subscription (who
needs it, ever hear of reading?), scramble the chan-
nels that offend you or simply have enough insight to
protect your impressionable child from things that s
he'll learn soon enough.
Fire is cool, but so is good parenting, huh-huh-
huh-huh.

Well, after last week's ar-
ticle on keeping opinions, to our-
selves, 1 wasn't too sure whether or
not I'd have a job after Fall Break
Seeing as how that's the bass of our
job, giving opinions (be they dis-
agreeable or not) wasn't sure how
to respond to someone telling me to
shut up. But after all, we're all en-
titled toour opinion. So, here we are,
me writing, you reading, mv editor
correcting my grammatical night-
mares. Ah, it's good to be home!
And while we're on thesub-
ject of home, I'd like to welcome
everybody back. Hopeeveryone had
a restful and peaceful Fall Break. For
those whospent it here inGreenville
(likecertiinopinion writers whoshall
remain anonvmous), mv heart trulv
bleeds for you.
Of course, Fall break isn't
really Fall break unless it includes a
trip to the dentist. I'm not sure how
it worksout, hut it's probably a pack-
age deal you sign up for when vou' re
filling out the60gazillion formsdur-
ing registration. Part of some con-
tract the sch(Xl has with the Ameri-
can Dental Association, something
to do with getting a daily quota of
mental at iguish and gum prodding.
At any rate, there I was,
trapped in the office, trving to get
into the latest jssueofHgrJrs. You
know, that children's magazine
where vou trv to find the hidden
soup ladle in the drawings and
where vou read about the on-go-
ing battle between Goofus and Gal-
lant.
But, to tell you the truth, my
heart just wasn't into it. All I could
think about was what lurked be-
yond that waiting room door and if
1 could squeeze in one more brush-
ing before meeting?dum-da-DUM-
DUM?the DENTIST!
Oneofthemostfrightening
things from childhood for me was
the dentist. It didn't matter how
gentle, or understanding they were,
I knew that every time I opened my
mouth, it would be bombarded by
medieval-Clive-Barker-I'm-your-
worst-nightmare-stainless-steel
thingamabobs capable of ripping
flesh right off the bone. Every X-ray
was a blueprint of dental destruc-
tion, every "hmm" from the dentist
a sure sign he'd found the mother of
all cavities and the only way to deal
with it was to cut my head off and
pray my brother took after the father's
side of tlit? family.
Not that I've ever had a bad
experience. I've been blessed with a
gtxxl set of choppers. My dentist
should win humanitarian of theyear
awards .I've never even had my wis-
dom teeth pulled,oneof theprimarv
goals I hear dentists aim for. I'm
fairly good with my dental hygiene
techniques. It's the thought of hav-
ing that man poke around my mouth
and find something that sets my teeth
chattering.
It's funny to see how mudt
anxietv is brought forth from one's
profession. I guess the same goes for
taxauditors. I feel sorry forpeoplein
these positions. They're not out to
getanyone. They'redoingwhatthey
do, because they chose their career
and they enjoy it. Yet, mention a
visit with a purveyor of less-than-
acceptabfe services and vou can
almost see the horror as tt shud-
ders through your friends.
I don't know if anyone
watched Northern Exposure last
week, but they brought up a good
point concerning dentist-patient
rela tionships. There's a verbal con-
tract between dentists and pa-
tientsanditcanbeapplied tomany
facets of 1 ife, perha ps even sum up
what I've been trying to say. Take
care of vour business, be it your
teeth, checkbook, infamous cor-
rupted corporation, and the worst
you'll get is the occasional check
up. Slack off, and you could end up
getting get d rilled, grilled or killed.
Novocaine optional.
As for me, everything
checked out fine(huge, cherry fluo-
ride-tinted sigh of relief)- Ieven got
to wear a little "Nocavities"sticker.
God, 1 love my dentistthat
is, at least until my next appoint-
ment.

Letters to the Editor
Abortion editorial fails to benefit an already 'screwed up world'
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to
the article by Alex Ferguson on
the Opinion page this Tuesday.
What the hell kind of stand is that?
I am so glad there are not more
people out there like Mr.
Ferguson?-people that are so in-
nocent and naive and take no re-
sponsibility for the decay of soci-
ety. "I don't care if ten year old's
own submachine guns and take
them to school, we don't know
what kind of neighborhood they
were born in This statement
would just as easily fit right in
with his vvav of thinking in the
article. This article really disgusted
me. I have never written any news-
paper in response to an article be-
fore. I've also never written to a
Congressman either. But some-
thing in this article reallv did it. It
really triggered something.
Here is someone who doesn't
give a damn about anyone else
and clearly makes a mockery of
any man who chooses to express
his constitutional right as an
American citizen to protest abor-
tion. I'm not talking about force-
fully blocking an entrance to a
clinic or tossing a couple grenades
in these clinics; those are extreme
radicals and another topic alto-
gether.
But Mr. Ferguson wasn't tar-
geting these radicals, which would
have made more sense. Instead he
chooses to criticize any man who
has an opinion on abortion and is
not pro-choice. He goes on by say-
ing, "does it ever occur to them
that maybe the women don't need
the opinion of a man to complicate
things?" Complicate things?!
What a cop-out! Oh, it is too com-
plicated, shut up don't voice your
opinion, you're a man. We as a
society need to be concerned with
the actions of others, whether they
are men or women.
The topic here isn't abortion.
Although I'm sure, by the tone of
this letter, I am going to be labeled
as a "pro-lifer" by those who
choose to read it. And I'm also
sure that many wiil be quick to
attack me verbally, either in per-
son or in a future edition of this
paper because I am pro-life, and a
young college male. I must obvi-
ously be a male pig with a screwed
up head. If this letter is printed, I
guarantee that I will be better
known for my pro-life stance than
for any other aspect about me. 1
must obviously kill abortion doc-
tors and blow up clinics.
And it seems that in some
screwy irony, those who are "pro-
lifers" are made out to be a bunch
of radical old men who must be
evil, because they believe in sav-
ing the child's life. You would
think that, in any other context,
they would almost be heroes. In
this con text, however, they are the
evil ones and those out there de-
fending mass murder of this
country'syoutharethebraveones.
What a screwed up world
we live in. People like Mr.
Ferguson sure aren't helping any.
If I were his friend, and I had been
drinking heavily and had decided
to drive us somewhere, I sure
couldn't trust him with stopping
me. "Why complicate things? Let
him make his own decisions is
what he would probably say.
The point I'm trying to make
here is this, and it is really quite
simple, and it extends to almost
anv subject, not just abortion: if
you believe in something strong
enough, you have the moral re-
sponsibility to protest it in some
form or another. By saying that
voicing an opinion is complicat-
ing things too much, Mr.
Ferguson has done a great injus-
tice. Many things would not be
the way they are today if some-
one didn't have the guts to stand
up and speak their mind, male or
female.
In response to the comment,
"after all, I certainly would prefer
if they stay out of my prostate
cancer I wonder what he would
think if the person treating his
prostate cancer was a woman.
Would he want her to interfere or
to complicate things? Yeah, right.
Don't ever run for office.

Comparing prostate cancer to pregnancy unjustified, in poor taste
To the Editor:
This letter is in response to
the article appearing in the Oc-
tober 5 issue of The East Carolin-
ian, "Man's position in abortion
questioned I completely see
that Mr. Ferguson is entitled to
his own opinion, and I respect
that. In fact, everyone is entitled
to their opinion. This is true
whether the man feels he should
be included in the decision mak-
ing, or it the woman feels it is no
business to the man.
The only thing I had a ma-
jor problem with was the last
paragraph in the whole article.
It stated, "After all, I certainly
prefer it they stav out of my
prostate cancer It is under-
standable that a man may want
a woman to stav out of an issue
such as prostate cancer. This
feeling may be the same for a
woman, if, for example, she has
breast cancer or cervical cancer.
Pregnancy and prostate cancer
cannot, and should not, be used
in the same sentence. Are we
saving that an unborn baby is a
form tit cancer for a woman1
Certainly not!
Cancer is an attacker on
the human body and needs to be
quickly destroyed. If it is not
destroyed, it will cause havoc
over a person's body. A baby is
a gift. A gift that is best when it
is shared between two people.
What makes pregnancy a strictly
feminine issue? Better yet, what
makes it comparable to prostate
cancer. As the years have gone
by, it has been proven that a
man's involvement in a preg-
nancy and birth are beneficial to
the child and the relationship.
For vears, men have com-
plained that women are getting
too manv rights. They are right
in saving that: women are al-
lowed to abort babies without
even consulting the fathers?
even though it took the father
just as much to create the baby.
After all, women cannot do it
alone. Maybe I have over-
stepped mv bounds, but being
a female, I guess I have that
choice, right?

P.C problems percolate;
pencil-pusher p.od,
ponders predicament
I blame it all on Alan Alda.
Remember when Hawkeye was the symbol for men's
behavior in the 80s? He was so disarming and funny. And he
cried and broke away from the machismo of the likes of
television's Vinnie Babarino and Dwavne F. Schneider. The
man was something men were not supposed to be at that time:
sensitive. It became the rage. Men who wept or hugged their
best male friend in public were suddenly in almost as much
demand as Cabbage Patch Kids. Almost, now.
Anyway, sensitivity became popular. People began to get
in touch with themselves; therapy groups popped up for every-
thing from family alcoholism to subconscious childhood trauma
to slight acquaintances of pyromaniacs and the women who
love them. Talk shows sprang up from the depths of Social Hell
to exploit the cause du jour and to expose people who like
nothing better than to talk about their love lives and eating
habits. Therapy led to resolution, and resolution led to a need
to confront. But these confrontations were not aimed at specific
individuals but at society as a whole.
Movements then cropped up, telling us what not to listen
to, who not to sleep with and where not to go for personal
growth (We had a men's movement, for God's sake. Most men
I know won't even move to change the television channel. And
what did this movement encourage men to do? Strip, run
around and bang on drums. Hell, I thought that was what
Woodstock and Lollapalooza were for). Sensitivity thus led to
well-intentioned and emotionally timid people becoming im-
mense pains in the ass.
I have heaps of trouble with this political correctness thing.
No longer are we allowed to offer critical opinions on other
people. No?not without having to battle a vague and ever-
changing set of guidelines. Either we refer to people positively,
or in such an ambiguous way that the tone of our statement can't
be discerned. Political correctness tells us that fat people aren't
fat (they are "remarkably obese" and "unfashionably unsvelte");
handicapped people aren't at a disadvantage even if stairs
become as impassable as a Tolkein mountain. And of course,
there is the thorny issue of what to call people. This just eludes
me.
Let me preface the rest of my comments by saying that
nomenclature reflects the times, and I surely won't stand in the
way of anything as impressive-sounding as "modern nomen-
clature even when I look up the definition. Simply put, what
we call ourselves and others is now more important than how
we treat ourselves and others.
Can someone please print a translation text for those of us
too busy to rationalize proper ethnic designation?among A fri-
can- American, American-Indian and other such hyphenated
labels like wall-eyed-rouge-headed-horizontally-allergic-splen-
didly-myopic-thoroughly-left-handed-Bulgarian-on-the-left-
no-no-I-said-the-left-yeah-that's-him-in-the-blue-sweater-eat-
ing-the-Kit-Kat?
Allow me to ask a simple question. If the fashionable i.d.
for black people is "African-American" (and using the word
"colored" is on par with drop-kicking infants), why is the
leading organization for the rights of black people called the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People?
Is it all right to say (you know, that phrase) if you're black?
And why is the KKK allowed by law to scream the word
"nigger" up and down the main street of small towns, and if I
yelled it out my window I could be thrown out of ECU for
speech infringement? I don't want to call anyone anything but
words now are like property, with rightful owners and users?
Who says what word is right or wrong? Can a word be right or
wrong? Didn't Shakespeare say nothing is bad or good, but is
defined by how we see it? I mean we are talking about a couple
of syllables, whenever slurs or other nasty comments are used.
Are we so thin-skinned that we sue or (y'ikes!) kill over some-
thing as small as a word? Were we told to say "sticks and stones
can break my bones, but call me so-and-so and I'll own your
house or stomp on your privates, bub" No, we were told to be
better than those Cro-Magnons calling us "nerd "weirdo
"cootie" or "fairy Did I j ust insult any Cro-Magnons out there?
Names can never hurt me Anyone remember that?
It's now necessary to know one's entire genetic lineage in
order to both correctly label him (I refuse to say himher,
because if we can say "mankind" to refer to him and her, then
"him" can reflect both as well) and not offend him (nope, won't
do it; him, him, him) in even the most remote circumstance. So,
we, the writers, who for whatever reason must conform with the
fashion of the day, must be aware of who people are linked to
by political, religious or ethnic means. For practice, the prudent
writer should examine his (okay, okay: hisher. geez) own
heritage for such exposition.
I happen to be one of those lucky people whose genetic
background could constitute the Security Counsel of the United
Nations. I can claim Irish, German, English, Cherokee and (if
Dad's right about the in-laws) Martian. But I can live with
"writer It fits. "What is he, anyway?" A writer. Not Caucasian
Overlord or Oppressor of Pencil Leads or Destroyer of Trees. "A
writer" will suffice, thank you.
Before the torrent of letters arrive demanding my head, I
do not believe in the right of people to be mean and offensive
with racial slurs, so save a stamp and relax. If we can mature
past the point of using "bad words can't we get past being hurt
by them? I always thought that words that insulted were used ?
out of frustration or anger, not because they magically reduced
someone in stature or deed. If we are trying to prove that 30
years of desegregation weren't for nothing, we have to start on
the most basic level. Self-image defines a person, not preconcep-
tion or suggestion. Words, for ail their connotations and emo-
tional weight, are merely words. They cannot defeat us. We are
better than that. All of us. Even Alan Alda.

Pet peeves: animal injustice hidden by seeming love
I once know a guy named
Fred, and Fred owned a beauti-
ful dog named Mariam. Fred
lived in Boone where he attended
college, went to church every
Sunday and played his Chris-
tian rock music a little too loudly.
Doug, who lived below him, was
often tempted to jab the ceiling
with a broom handle. Fred al-
ways got the hint and turned
down the tunes.
Fred went out of town ev-
ery weekend so Doug could re-
lax in silence. But one thing both-
ered Doug: Fred left Mariam tied
in the backyard with a bowl of
water (frozen in the winter);
some food; and a shabby,
wooden dog house. The rope that
was attached to Mariam's collar
was about six feet long. This
treatment seemed very unfair to
Doug, but he was not surprised
by it?Fred left Mariam on that
rope 24 hours a day, even when
he was in town.
But to give Fred the benefit
of the doubt, as we should try to
do, he probably didn't consider
how his status as a college stu-
dentwould affecthispet. Like so
many students here at ECU, Fred
thought of his pet as his prop-
erty, and he was therefore al-
lowed to do whatever he wanted
to do with it. If you have a pet, or
you're thinking about getting
one, keep a few things in mind.
College students are tran-
sients. Our stay here is tempo-
rary, and we don't know where
we may be after we graduate. If
you get a pet when you're a
sophomore, chances are you'll
still have it when you're ready to
move on. If you were lucky
enough to live in an apartment
or a house where you could have
a pet, you may not be so lucky
when you move.
Sharing your space can be
difficult and most apartments are
small. Keeping a pet cramped
up is almost as bad as keeping
her or him outside on a rope.
Animals need to be outside some
of the time; they need to get exer-
cise and they need fresh air. At
the other end of the spectrum, if
you can't have a pet inside where
you live, then, by gum, don't get
one. No animal deserves to be
tied down or caged in.
If you already have a pet
and you have to keep it outside,
make sure that you spend time
with it. Animals are very forgiv-
ing; they stick by you no matter
how badly you treat them. They
love unconditionally, and they
suffer in silence in the hopes that
you'll snap out of your self-serv-
ing denial of their needs.
Animals aren't objects.
Don't give puppies and kittens
as Christmas presents if you are
too unoriginal to come up with a
better, more practical idea. Babv
animals grow up and become less
cute. If they are unwanted, they
may be abandoned. Pets are still
around (atleastfora while),even
when their owners have forgot-
ten about them?just visit the
animal shelter. Or just ask Doug.
I tell you all of this, because
I end up feeding the cats that eat
out of thedumpsters.Iget barked
at by the dogs tied in the yards
around my neighborhood, and
sometimes, I think that if I weren't
afraid of being bitten, I'd liber-
ate those pooches.
Doug knew that pets
weren't allowed in the apart-
ments where he and Fred lived,
but he did all that he could to
save Mariam from her fate.
Doug, kind soul that he is, gave
Mariam water when hers froze,
he put a blanket in her house
and he spent some time with
her when he could. He called
the Humane Society and was
told that unless there was physi-
cal abuse, unless Miriam wasn't
being fed, or unless she had no
shelter from the cold, there was
nothing that could be done.
Doug sent Fred an anony-
mous letter. Nothing happened.
Doug contemplated stealing
Mariam, but he had no where to
take her, no home to give her,
and he couldn't justify stealing
someone else's property. But we
shouldn't think of animals as
property. Property is the junk
that we leave on the curb when
we move. Pets should accom-
pany us as we drive from col-
lege into thegreatbeyond. They
make the ride bearable.
By T. Scott Batchelor
Bizarre districts drawn, citing injustice
Perverse. Absolutely-
perverse.
That's what I thought
standing before the multi-
colored map of North
Carolina's 12 congressional
districts. The map looked like
a painter's brush cloth, with
the First and 12th districts as
red and yellow paint spills,
rambling aimlessly and
inanely across the
posterboard like the Missis-
sippi River.
These misbegotten
shapes were born out of a
well-intentioned yet delete-
rious notion: since, for what-
ever reason, North Carolina
lacked black representatives
in Congress, we should cre-
ate majority-minoritv dis-
tricts to help ensure that
blacks get elected to the
House of Representatives.
Underpinning this idea
are two assumptions which
have been passed off as
truths, both erroneous. The
first is that the reason North
Carolina had no blacks in the
House of Representatives is
due to the racial prejudice of
a majority white electorate?
an invidious and wholly in-
defensible theory.
And the state's answer
to this perceived injustice
presents an interesting quasi-
corollary to this idea of ra-
cial preference: those who re-
drew the districts must have
been confident that a major-
ity black district would elect
a black candidate. In other
words, the belief that black
North Carolinians are ra-
cially prejudiced drove the
redistricting plan. A bitter
irony considering the con-
tinual charges by black lead-
ers that election outcomes
are decided by a candidate's
skin color.
The second erroneous
assumption that helped cre-
ate North Carolina's bizarre
districts is that only a mem-
ber of a certain racial or eth-
nic group is qualified to ef-
fectively represent that
group in Congress. Balder-
dash! Under this philosophy,
we would have to create ex-
tra seats and districts to ac-
commodate the representa-
tives of different races, eth-
nic groups, religions, occu-
pations, ages, etc.
One need not be black
to represent blacks nor
whites to represent whites.
This concept simply lacks
any intellectual substance
and is dangerously divisive
besides.
Fortunately for us
right-thinking individuals,
we have men like Robinson
O. Everett to challenge these
misguided actions. Everett
is a professor of law at Duke
University and served as
Chief judge of the U.S. Court
of Military Appeals from
1980-1990. Heandfourother
Durham voters attacked the
redistricting plans on
grounds of racial gerryman-
dering. Everett argued the
case of Shaw v. Reno before
the U.S. Supreme Court on
April 20, 1993.
The case was decided
on June 28,1993, and in Jus-
tice O' Connor's opinion of
the Court (joined by Chief
Justice Rehnquist and Jus-
tices Scalia, Kennedy and
Thomas) "emphasized in
strong terms that 'bizarre'
congressional districts are
suspect when it is clear that
they are drawn to assure
the election of persons of a
particular race according
to Everett.
"Moreover writes
Everett Justice
O'Connor concluded that
the five plaintiffs?even
though they are white?had
rights under the equal pro-
tection clause of the 14th
Amendment and could
claim injury
This ruling has most
assuredly upset the two
Congressmen who owe
their seats to the racial ger-
rymandering, Clayton and
Watt.
But for the rest of us
who still believe in Martin
Luther King, Jrs statement
that people should "not be
judged"?and elected?"by
the color of their skin, but
by the content of their char-
acter this decision has
taken us a giant step toward
that goal.

World changes
begin with
personal growth
Let me ask you a question.
How is it that a person can tell you one
thing and six months later act total! v different?
How is it that someone can tell you ? and
make you believe ? that they feel a certain
way and then act in a very extreme opposite
manner? Does it not occur to them that if a
person is exposed to this hypocrisy often
enough, more than likely they'll just give up on
the person all together?
Granted, I am taking these questions
from a personal experience of mine that hap-
pened recently. However, this column is not
meant as a vent for my personal frustrations.
Rather, I have to wonder how some people
maintain friends and relationships when they
don't follow up their words with actions.
Look at it this way: a politician running
for election says that he is vehemently against
spending taxpayers' money for personal trips.
After he is in office for a few years, someone
discovers that he has been writing off trips to
the Bahamas as "business-related No one's
very surprised when this happens ? hell, all
politicians are liars, right? What does this do
thatperson'sstatusinthepubliceye,however?
Let me bring this a li ttle closer to home for
Joe Average Student. The person you're going
out with says that they don't want to have sex
because it would ruin the friendship. They say
that the friendship is too important to them to
risk losing it. You respect that decision and
admire the person for thinking so much of you.
Later, however, that person lies to you or just
decides that it's time to move on. What mes-
sage does this give you?
I'll tell you what message it gives me. For
all that talk about how important that friend-
ship was, that's all it ever was ? just talk. If a
person can't back up their statements with
concrete examples, why should you believe
anyofitforasecond?Any man orwoman can
look you straight in the face and lie their ass off.
The only way you can tell what the truth really
is, is by looking at how those people act.
This touches on a previous topic of mine.
People moan and complain about how bad
and terrible our society is nowadays. If they
would only start to look at their own lives and
live them the way they think others should,
maybe, just maybe, this world would be a
better place to live in. Clean your own house
before you start commenting on the terrible
condition of your neighbor's.
How will people be able to know what
you think life should be like? Bv your actions,
and nothing else. If you think work ethics are
important in life, show your co-workers with
your own work if family values are impor-
tant, give some attention and love to your
children and spouse. It might surprise you
how quickly people come to respect and emu-
late you when you show thern what you feel
the good things in life are.
Wanttochange the world?Great. Noble
concept. The problem comes up when you ask
yourself hoivcan you change the world. Allow
me to give you my own personal solution, if
you would. Change your little comer first.
Show people ? by your actions, not your
words?whatyou think Utopia is. Create your
own personal pa rad ise and let others view i t so
that they might eventually achieve their own.
"Talk is cheap "Actions speak louder
man words Cliches are only cliches unless
they're true.

Defense of a little Virginity
The federal
government has
spent billions of
our tax dollars
since 1970
to promote
contraceptives
and "safe sex"
among our
teenagers. Isn't it
time we asked,
What have we
gottenfor
our money?
These are the facts:
? The federal Centers for Disease
Control estimate that there are now 1
million cases of HIV infection nation-
wide. 2
? I in 100 students coming to the
University of Texas health center now
carries the deadly virus
? The rate of heterosexual HIV trans
mission has increased 44 since
September 1989.4
? Sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) infect 3 million teenagers annu-
ally
? 63 of all STD cases occur among
persons less than 25 years of age.6
? 1 million new cases of pelvic
inflammatory disease occur annually.7
? 1.3 million new cases of gonorrhea
occur annually8; strains of gonorrhea have
developed that are resistant to penicillin.
? Syphilis is at a 40-year high, with
134,000 new infections per year.9
? 500,000 new cases of herpes occur
annually10; it is estimated that 16.4 of
the U.S. population ages 15-74 is
infected, totaling more than 25 million
Americans ? among certain groups, the
infection rate is as high as 60
? 4 million cases of chlamydia occur
annually 10-30 of 15- tol9-year-
olds are infected
? There are now 24 million cases of
human papilloma virus (HPV), with a
higher prevalence among teens.14
To date, over 20 different and
dangerous sexually transmitted diseases
are rampant among the young. Add to
that the problems associated with
promiscuous behavior: infertility, abor-
tions and infected newboms. The cost of
this epidemic is staggering, both in
human suffering and in expense to soci-
ety; yet epidemiologists tell us we've
only seen the beginning.
Incredibly, the "safe-sex"gurus and
condom promoters who got us into this
mess are still determining our policy
regarding adolescent sexuality. Their
ideas have failed, and it is time to rethink
their bankrupt policies.
How long has it been since you've
heard anyone tell teenagers why it is to
their advantage to remain virgins until
married? The facts are being withheld
from them, with tragic consequences.
Unless we come to terms with the sick-
ness that stalks a generation of
Americans, teen promiscuity will
continue, and millions of kids think-
ing they are protected will suffer for
the rest of their lives. Many will die of
AIDS.
There is only one safe way to remain
healthy in the midst of a sexual revolu-
tion. It is to abstain from intercourse
until marriage, and then wed and be
faithful to an uninfected partner. It is a
concept that was widely endorsed in
society until the 1960s. Since then, a
"better idea" has come along one
that now threatens the entire human
family.
Inevitable questions are raised when-
ever abstinence is proposed. It's time we
gave some clear answers:
message from Focus on the Family
Why, apart from moral coasid
erations, do you think teenagers
should r taught to abstain from
sex until marriage?
No other approach to the epidemic of
sexually transmitted diseases will work.
The so-called "safe-sex" solution is a
disaster in the making. Condoms can fail
at least 15.7 percent of the time annually
in preventing pregnancy They fail
36.3 percent of the time annually in
preventing pregnancy among young,
unmarried minority women In a study
of homosexual men. the British Medical
Journal reported the failure rate due to
slippage and breakage to be 26 percent
Given these findings, it is obvious why
we have a word for people who rely
on condoms as a means of birth
control. We call them
"parents
Remembering that
a woman can conceive
only one or two days
per month, we know
the failure rate for
condoms must be
much higher when it
comes to preventing
disease, which can be
transmitted 365 days
per year! If the devices
are not used properly,
or if they slip just
once, viruses and
bacteria are exchanged
and the disease process begins. One
mistake after 500 "protected" episodes is
all it takes to contract a sexually trans-
mitted disease. The damage is done in a
single moment when rational thought is
overridden by passion.
Those who would depend on so inse-
cure a method must use it properly on
every occasion, and even then a high
failure rate is brought about by factors
beyond their control. The young victim
who is told by his elders that this little
latex device is "safe" may not know he
is risking lifelong pain and even death
for so brief a window of pleasure. What
a burden to place on an immature mind
and body!
In fact, the University of Texas
Medical Branch recently found that
condoms are only 69 percent effective in
preventing the transmission of the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in hetero-
sexual couples. Dr. Susan Welter of
UTMB conducted a meta-analysis of 11
independent HIV transmission studies.
Her conclusion: "When it comes to the
sexual transmission of HIV, the only
real prevention is not to have sex with
someone who has or might have HIV18
This surely explains why not one of
800 sexologists at a conference a few
years ago raised a hand when asked if
they would trust a thin rubber sheath to
protect them during intercourse with a
known HIV-infected person9 Who
could blame them? They're not crazy,
after all. And yet they're perfectly will-
ing to tell our kids that "safe sex" is
within reach and that they can sleep
around with impunity.
There is only one way to protect
ourselves from the deadly diseases that
lie in wait. It is abstinence before
marriage, then marriage and mutual
fidelity for life to an uninfected partner.
Anything less is potentially suicidal.
That position is simply NOT
realistic today. It's an unwork-
able solution: Kids will NOT
implement it.
Some will. Some won't. It's still the
only answer. But let's talk about an
"unworkable solution" of the first order.
Since 1970, the federal government has
spent billions of our tax dollars to
promote contraception and "safe sex
This year alone, hundreds of millions
of your tax dollars will go down that
drain! (Compared with less than $8
million for abstinence programs, which
Sen. Teddy Kennedy and company have
sought repeatedly to eliminate alto-
gether.) Isn't it time we ask what we've
gotten for our money? After 22 years
and billions of dollars, some 58 percent
of teenage girls under 18 still did not use
contraception during their first inter
course.2" Furthermore, teenagers tend to
ratio of the experts who call abstinence
'unrealistic" and "unworkable
Even if we spent another $50 billion
to promote condom usage, most
teenagers would still not use them
consistently and properly. The nature of
human beings and the passion of the act
simply do not lend themselves to a disci-
plined response in young romantics.
But if you knew a teenager was
going to have intercourse,
wouldn't you teach him or her
about proper condom usage?
No, because that approach has an
unintended consequence. The process of
recommending condom usage to
teenagers inevitably conveys five
dangerous ideas: (1) that "safe sex" is
achievable; (2) that everybody is doing
it; (3) that responsible adults expect
them to do it; (4) that it's a good
thing; and (5) that their peers
know they know these things,
breeding promiscuity, Those'
are very destructive messages
to give our kids.
Furthermore, Planned
Parenthood's own data
show that the number
one reason teenagers
engage in inter-
course is peer pres-
sure Therefore,
anything we do
to imply that
"everybody is
doing it" results
tn more not fewer people who
give the game a try. Condom distribu-
tion programs do not reduce the number
of kids exposed to disease they radi-
cally increase it!
Since the federal government began
its major contraception program in 1970,
unwed pregnancies have increased 87
percent among 15-to -year-olds.2'
Likewise, abortions among teens rose 67
percent;24 unwed births went up 83.8
percent.25 And venereal disease has
infected a generation of young people.
Nice job, sex counselors. Good thinking,
senators and congressmen. Nice nap,
America.
Having made a blunder that now
threatens the human family, one would
think the designers would be back
tracking and apologizing for their
miscalculations. Instead, they
continue to lobby Congress
and corporate America for
more money. Given the
misinformation extant on this
subject, they'll probably get
it.
But if you were a
parent and knew that
your son or daughter
was having sex,
wouldn't you rather
he or she used a
condom?
How much risk is accept
able when you're talking about your
teenager's life? One study of married
couples in which one partner was
infected with HIV found that 17 of the
partners using condoms for protection
still caught the virus within a year and a
half.26 Telling our teens to "reduce their
risk" to one in six (17) is not much
better than advocating Russian roulette.
Both are fatal, eventually. The difference
is that with a gun, death is quicker.
Suppose your son or daughter were join-
ing an 18-month skydiving club of six
members. If you knew that one of their
parachutes would definitely fail, would
you recommend that they simply buckle
the chutes tighter? Certainly not. You
would say, "Please don't jump. Your life
is at stake How could a loving parent
do less?
Kids won't listen to the absti-
nence message. You're just wasting
your breath to try to sell them a
notion like that
It is a popular myth that teenagers are
incapable of understanding that it is
in their best interest to save them-
selves until marriage. Almost 65
percent of all high school females
under 18 are virgins.27
groups?just an ex-convict named
Harold Morris talking about abstinence,
among other subjects. The coliseum
seated 18,(XX) people, but 26,000
teenagers showed up! Eventually, more
than 2,000 stood outside the packed
auditorium and listened over a hastily
prepared public address system. Who
says kids won't listen to this time-
honored message?
Even teens who have been
sexually active can choose to
stop. This is often called
"secondary virginity a good
concept that conveys the idea
that kids can start over. One
young girl recently wrote
Ann Landers to say she
wished she had kept her
virginity, signing the letter,
'Sorry I didn't and wish I
could take it back As
responsible adults we
need to tell her that even
though she can't go back, she
can go forward. She can regain her
self-respect and protect her health,
because it's never too late to start
saying "no" to premarital sex.
Even though the safe-sex advo-
cates predominate in educational
circles, are there no positive exam-
ples of abstinence-based programs
for kids?
Thankfully, some excellent programs
have been developed. Spokane-based
Teen-Aid and Chicago's Southwest
Parents Committee are good examples.
So are Next Generation in Maryland,
Choices in California and Respect Inc. in
Illinois. Other curricula such as Facing
Reality; Sex Respect; Me. My World, My
Future; Reasonable Reasons to Wait;
Sex. Love & Choices; F.A.C.T.S etc
are all abstinence-themed programs to
help kids make good sexual decisions.
A good curriculum for inner-city
youth is Elayne Bennett's Best Friends
Program. This successful "mentoring"
project helps adolescents in Washington,
DC. graduate from high school and
remain abstinent. In five years, not one
female has become pregnant while in the
Best Friends Program.
Establishing and nurturing absti-
nence ideas with kids, however,
in be like spitting into the
wind. Not because they
won't listen, because most
will. But pro-abstinence
messages are drowned out
in a sea of toxic teen-sex-
is-inevitable-use-
a-condom
propaganda
from "safe-sex"
professionals.
You place
major responsi-
bility on those
who have told
adolescents that
sexual expression is their
right as long as they do it
"properly Who else has
contributed to the epidemic?
The entertainment industry must
certainly share the blame, including tele-
vision producers. It is interesting in this
context that all four networks and the
cable television entities are wringing
their hands about this terrible epidemic
of AIDS. They profess to be very
concerned about those who are infected
with sexually transmitted diseases, and
perhaps they are sincere. However, TV
executives and movie moguls have
contributed mightily to the existence of
this plague. For decades, they have
depicted teens and young adults climb-
ing in and out of each other's beds like
so many sexual robots. Only the nerds
were shown to be chaste, and they were
too stupid or ugly to find partners.
Of course, the beautiful young actors
in those steamy dramas never faced any
consequences for their sexual indul-
gence. No one ever came down with
herpes, or syphilis, or chlamydia or
pelvic inflammatory disease, or infertil-
ity, or AIDS, or genital warts, or cervical
cancer. No patients were ever told by a
physician that there was no cure for their
disease or that they would have to deal
with the pain for the rest of their lives.
No one ever heard that genital
cancers associated with the
human papilloma virus (HPV)
kill more women than AIDS,28
or that strains of gonorrhea are
now resistant to penicillin.29
No, there was no
downside. It all looked like so
much fun. But what a price we
are paying now for the lies we
have been told.
The government
, has also
contributed to
this crisis and
continues to exac-
erbate the problem.
For example, a current
brochure from the federal
Centers for Disease Control and the
City of New York is entitled, 'Teens
Have the Right and is apparently
intended to free adolescents from adult
authority. Inside are the six declarations
that make up a 'Teenager's Bill of
Rights as follows:
? I have the right to think for myself.
? I have the right to decide, whether to
have sex and whofm to have'it with.
? I have the right to use protection
when I have sex.
? I have the right to buy and use
condoms.
? I have the right to express myself.
? I have the right to ask for help if I
need it.
Under this final item (the right to ask
for help) is a list of organizations and
phone numbers that readers are encour-
aged to call. The philosophy that
governs several of the organizations
includes presenting homosexuality as
an acceptable life style and vigorous
promotion of a teen's right to sexual
expression.
Your tax dollars at work!
Surely there are other Americans
who recognize the danger now threaten-
ing a generation of our best and bright-
est. It is time to speak up for an old-fash-
ioned value called virginity. Now, more
than ever, virtue is a necessity.
If you agree with Focus on the
Family that it is time for a new approach
to adolescent sexuality, tear out this ad
and save it. Take it to your next school
board meeting. Send it to your congress-

If you're looking for some-
thing different to do this Home-
coming Weekend, and you're in-
terested in modern dance, then
the Lar Lubovitch Dance Com-
pany will be right up your alley.
On Friday, Oct. 15, the dance
company will appear at Wright
Auditorium as part of the annual
weekend activities. The program
is scheduled for 8 p.m. and is just
one of the many season's offer-
ings of ECU's 1993-94 University
Unions Performing Arts Series.
Scheduled are four ragtime
dances, performed by four
couples. These will be set to mu-
sic by Charles Ives.
There will also be a solo dance
set to the Cole Porter song, "It's
All Right with Me a 10-dancer
work set to music by Steve Reich,
and a two-part work set to music
first by Les Paul and Mary Ford,
and secondly by Johnny Puleo
and his Harmonica Gang.
Among the songs featured in
the two-part work, "Waiting for
the Sunrise are "Tennessee
Waltz "Vaya con Dios and
"There'll Never Be Another You
Lar Lubovitch established the
company 26 years ago and has
since created more than 50 dances,
with a wide variety or movement,
music and sets. Lubovitch uses
music from both Eastern and
Western influences.
Critics have praised
Lubovitch's work for its rhap-
sodic style, sophisticated formal
structures and "joyous musical-
ity
He has also received many
awards and grants from the Na-
tional Endowment for the Arts,
the New York State Council on
the Arts and various private foun-
dations.
During the past three years,
the company has traveled to four
continents and has performed in
China, France, Canada, Japan,
Brazil and North America.
Admission to the presenta-
tion is by Performing Arts Series

'Why Does the

Question: What is TB?
Answer: TB is a chronic, re-
current infection most common
in the 1l s, but it also attacks
other areas of the body. The germ
can be present in the body and
not cause a person to feel sick.
However, the germ can become
active at any time, causing illness
and making the person conta-

Question: How is TB spread?
Answer: It is usually spread
by infected droplets that are in
the air after an infected person
coughs or sneezes.
Question: How do you test
for TB?
Answer: A small amount of
material called tuberculin is in-

jected under the skin on the fore-
arm. This area is examined for a
reaction within 48 to 72 hours. If
nothing happens, you probably

your health care provider will
decide if it is "positive" by mea-
suring the size of the reaction.
Question: What does a posi-

Answer: A positive TB test
means that at some time in your

Why does the sun shine? I've
asked myself that more times than I
can remember, and I know I'm not
alone. Well, for all us stumped sci-
ence buffs down here on Mother
Earth, They Might Be Giants has
kindly released a new EP thatboldly
asks (and answers) that very ques-
tion. Appropriately titled WIiyDoes
the Sun Shine? (The Sun is a Mass of
Incandescent Gas), this new disc from
the men who brought us such scien-
tific blockbusters as "Particle Man"
faces one of the burning questions of
our day head-on.
The title track is delivered
with a lovely sing-song quality that
lingers in your mind for hours after
just one listen. Handy for those
impromtu physics quizzes! This
song provides a flurry of essential
background information on our sun
"The sun is hot, the sun is large, the
sunisfaraway'croonsvocalistjohn
Hansburghinoneofthesong'smore
revealing passages.
Aside from offering this cor-
nucopia ofvitalinformation(another
mind-blowing tidbit: "The sun is
93 million miles away, and that's
why it looks so small Wow! It's
science!), "WhyDoestheSunShine?"
finallyanswersitsownquestion. The
sun shines, we are told, because it is
in reality "a huge, atom-smashing
machine
What a bold statement! This
is likely to ruffleafew feathers among
theorists following the "Raming
Chariotof the Gods" school of phys-
ics. Thegroupmightsoftentheblow
with the gentle arrangement in true
They Might Be Giants fashion, but
their dedication to scientific truth
remains adamant. If people are
worried that there's a huge, uncon-
trollable atomic reactor our there
just waiting to blow us all to King-
dom Come, then so be it. It's about
time we faced the truth.
But They Might Be Giants
aren't justa bunch of sciencegeeks!
As the rest of this EP proves, this
band has its fingers on the pulse of
the music industry, too. Following
"Why Does the Sun Shine?" is a
rollicking cover of the Allman
Brothers' "Jessica delivered with
the full power of a They Might Be
Giants all-out accordion-and-
glockenspiel attack.
Next is a cover of the Meat
Puppets' poignant "Whirlpool
the touching story of a "swirling
massof water" thatwantstogoout
and see the world. A slight return
to the scientific motif, "Whirlpool"
is nevertheless a gentle, heart-
warming piece of music. Listen to
it with somebody you love.
The disc is rounded out with
"Spy an homage to spy movie
themes and improvisational jazz.
Good for those romantic evenings
in your secret under-ground head-
quarters, or even when you're just
feeling a little sneaky.
They Might Be Giants has
done it again, with a collection of
music that's both educational and
entertaining, in a tone every bit as
sarcastic as my own. Why Does the
Sun Shine? is a fine addition to the
band's catalogue of goofy weird-
ness; music that sounds like a sur-
realist Disney cartoon soundtrack.
Pick it up for a taste of the strange.

Michael J. Fox presents an
image on the silver screen that is
hard not to like. Starting with his
Back to the Future roles, he has
consistently portrayed likable
characters If they are not likable
for the entire film, then they are at
least likable by the final reel.
Fox's latest film, For Love or
Money, once again finds Fox in a
clunker of a vehicle that gets pro-
pelled mostly by Fox's warm per-
sonality.
J
For Love or Money tells the tale
of Doug Ireland (Fox), a hotel
concierge who can make every
customer happy every time. He
produces Yankee tickets with the
greatest of ease, hands out Miss
Saigon front seats with nary an
effort and smoothes out entangle-
ments for many of the hotel's
guests. Doug can truly work
magic, but he wants the magic of
owning his own hotel most of all.
Early in the film Doug gets
his wish. A friend introduces
Doug to Christian Hanover (An-
thony Higgins), an entrepreneur
who agrees to finance Doug's
hotel in return for favors. One of
the favors involves Christian's
girlfriend Andy Hart (Gabrielle
Anwar?last seen doing a tango
with Al Pacino in Scent of a
Woman). Christian asks Doug to
entertain Andy with discretion.
Christian wants Andv to believe
thatheisgoingtoleavehiswifeso
thathecan stay with heronlonely
nights.
As the story progresses Doug
and Andy begin to fall in love and
Doug must decide whether love
or money is his true desire.
Though cliched,theending elicits
smiles from the audience.
The love theme provides the
main story line in For Love or Money
but the subplots prove more en-
joyable. For Love or Money could
have been really great had it con-
centrated solely on Doug's
maneuverings to please the cus-
tomers.
Watching Doug deal with a
rich eccentric who wants Doug to
by diamonds and stuffed giraffes
and who always wants his two
dogs taken for a walk provides
some of the best laughs in the
film. Observing Doug hustling for
various tickets also proves enjoy-
able. Doug also helps a couple
trying to rekindle a romance by
giving them tickets to a Broad-
way show, recommending a hair-
stylist and reserving a limousine.

ter as a director this time than he

ECU natural team explores
By Daniel Willis
Staff Writer
ECU is sending a nautical sur-
vey team to Mobile, Alabama to
examine ships that sank during
the Civil War Battle of Mobile
Bay. ECU archeologists Gordan
P. Watts heads the group which
will be surveying the three ships.
The Tecumseh is the most fa-
mous of the three vessels. It was
struck by a torpedo. Ninety-three
men died as the ship sank in a
mere25 seconds. It took the Union
fleet totally by surprise and briefly
suspended its progress.
The documentation of The
Tecumseh and the other two ships,
The C.S.S. Gaines and The U.S.S.
Philippi is being funded by a
$20,000 grant.
Watt notes that an impor-
tant aspect of this research is
that the Parks Service considers
Mobile Bay a battlefield. He
said, "Park Service protects his-
toric battlefields but that pro-
tection, until now, has extended
to battle sites on land. Thiscouid
lead to protection and manage-
ment plans for historic nautical
battle sites at Mobile Bay, Fort
Fisher, North Carolina and

dents and faculty from the

IRONICALLY, THE TIME TO START
SAVING FOR RETIREMENT IS WHEN IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU CAN LEAST AFFORD IT.
Can't afford to save for retirement?
The truth is, you can't afford not to.
Not when you realize that your retirement
can last ao to 30years or more. You'll want
to live at least as comfortably then as you
do now. And that takes planning.
By starting to save now, you can take
advantage of tax-deferral and give your
money time to compound and grow.
Consider this: set aside just $100 each
month beginning at age 30 and you can
accumulate over $154,031 by the time
you reach age 65. But wait ten years and
you'll have to budget $211 each month
to reach the same goal.
Even if you're not counting the years to
retirement, you can count on TIAA-CREF
to help you build the future you deserve?
with flexible retirement and tax-deferred
annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of invest-
ment choices, and a record of personal
service that spans 75 years.
Over a million people in education and
research put TIAA-CREF at the top of
their list for retirement planning. Why not
join them?
Call today and learn how simple it is
to build a secure tomorrow when you
have time and TIAA-CREF working on
your side.

Alex Chilton working on new album
If you thought Big Star was the end, think again.
NASHVILLE, Tcnn (AP) ?
Alex Chilton is a rock 'n' roll leg-
end who doesn't like to look back.
His admirers do it for him.
Chilton was the leader of the
1970s band Big Star, which makes
him rock 'n' roll royalty to some
people ? the Replacements, REM,
the Bangles and the Posies among
them ? and unknown to many-
more.
Until Rykodisc Records reis-
sued the three-album Big Star
catalogue last year (plus a live
album), their mix of British Inva-
sion pop and Velvet Underground
irony was known only to the faith-
ful few around at the beginning
and to those lucky enough to get
their hands on bootlegs.
"Big Star is kind of like passed
on with the same reverence that
fathers teach their sons to throw a
baseball is how Ken Stringfellow
of the Posies puts it.
A short history lesson:
Big Star, named after a South-
ern chain of supermarkets, was
formed in 1971 by Chris Bell,
Andy Hummel and Jody
Stephens. All were Memphis teen-
agers who wanted to imitate the
Beatles ? they also liked the
Byrds, the Kinks, the Raspberries
and Todd Rundgren.
They were joined by Chilton,
a former teen sensation who had
had a string of hit records as lead
singer of The Box Tops, starting
with "The Letter He added a
tough, progressively darker edge
to Big Star.
"There was a kind of Lennon-
McCartney relationship between
them (Chilton and Bell) said
Stephens, Big Star's drummer.
"As evidenced by the first al-
bum, Chris was kind of a sweeter,
potpier kind of guy. Alex's per-
formance has always been a bit
grittier
There were three lavishly ac-
claimed albums, about 20 live
shows, and tepid distribution and
promotion by Ardent Records, a
subsidiary of Stax. Bell left after
thefirstalbum 7 Recor'(hediedin
a 1978 car wreck). Two more
records, Radio City and Third fol-
lowed before the dispirited band
broke up.
And as far as Big Star was
concerned ? that was that.
But some people wanted them
back. Last spring, Missouri Uni-
versity students took a chance and
asked Chilton and Stephens to
play at their Springiest. With
Stringfellow and John Auer of the
Posies filling out the band, Big
Star returned and now has a new
album, Columbia: Live at Missouri
University 4-25-93.
"It wasn't proposed to me as
a Big Star reunion at all Chilton
said in a phone interview from
New Orleans.
'So the next thing I knew,
people were talking all about it as
a Big Star reunion, and I said
'WHAT?
Chilton has spent his time
since Big Star putting out eclectic,
erratic solo albums (his next is of
jazz standards), touring clubs
with his solo material and mak-
ing the oldies circuit with the Box
Tops hits.
He also has a habit of putting
a damper on Big Star disciples.
He says he truly likes only about
five of the band's songs, and
would have skipped the reunion
for any better-paving offer.
"Then the next thing I knew
after that, a big record company
(Zoo) was saying they wanted to
record it and that it would be
pretty decent money if I wanted
to do it. So at that point I said, 'A
paying gig
The new record grunges up
the band's harder-edged material,
and adds versions of the oft-boot-
legged Chris Bell solo song "I Am
the Cosmos and raucous rendi-
tions of Rundgren's "Slut" and
Mark Bolan's "Baby Strange
Andy Richter, who plavs Lumpy
Rutherford to Conan's Beaver
Cleaver.)
Worse, O'Brien reveals little
skill at performing prepared ma-
terial. He may be likeable, pleas-
ant, earnest and he knows how
to follow the cue cards, but he
just isn't funny to watch.
What to do? Conan's plan is
to win over his audience by con-
fessing his sins.That nervous
whinny of a laugh and puppy-
eager manner say it loud and
clear: if I apologize enough, you'll
love me ? or at least indulge me.
So Conan's name, gangly ap-
pearance, rust-colored pompa-
dour, squeaky voice, inability at
singing and lame monologues all
are regular targets of his own
jibes.
He also kids himself about
the pressure he is under to suc-
ceed, pressure that in truth is
maybe starting to wear on him.
Anyway, his face is breaking out.
(Can pimple jokes be far off?)
Even in the animated "Late
Night" opening, a cartoon Conan
steps from behind the curtain,
then gulps and flings off a few
beads of flop sweat.
Excuses, excuses! However
endearing his pre-emptive strikes
may have been at first, O'Brien's
ongoing effort to laugh off his
shortcomings has ceased to be a
laughing matter.
"Late .jght" executive pro-
ducer Lome Michaels, whose TV
creations have stood for 18 years
and counting ("Saturday Night
Live") and crumbled after three
months ("The New Show" in
1984), should exceed the latter
milestone with his latest dis-
covery. (Who would NBC re-
place Conan with, anyway?
Katie Couric can't do EVERY-
THING.)
That doesn't mean
Michaels made a wise choice
insinuating this rookie into the
late-night scene. Memory fails,
but HIS excuse must have had
something to do with freshness
and innovation. Unfortunately,
the show that resulted is an
exercise in rank amateurism
and plodding sameness that
makes you wonder if Conan
even remembers how to write.

Ted Danson stirs trouble at Friars Club
oast,

tast
, uigar humor.
"We were not trying to be
politically correct. We were trv-
ing to be funny for ourselves
she said at a news conference Sun-
day.
Danson wore blackface
makeup and huge white lips at
Friday's closed-door roast in New
York.
The "Cheers" television star
also used the word "nigger" sev-
eral times and joked about his sex
life with Miss Goldberg.
The actress attacked talk show
I Monte Williams for lashing
out U Danson.
She said Williams should
have been familiar with the pri-
vate club's 89-year history- of rib-
ald roasts and expected jokes to
focus on sex, gender, bodilv func-
tions, religion and race.
"Perhaps Montel's show is
not doing as well as it could be
and this was his way of drawing
attention Miss Goldberg said.
She said if Williams were a real
man he would have talked to her
before going public with his criti-
cism.
A spokesman for Williams or
his syndicated series could not be
reached for comment Sunday.
In a telegram announcing his
resignation from the exclusive
male-only club, Williams wrote:
"I was confused as to whether or
not I was at a Friars event or at a
rally for the KKK and Aryan Na-
tion.
"When Ted made the jokes
about the racially-mixed kids, and
everyone knows my wife is white
and just gave birth to our child, I
could see my wife start to cry. If
that's what Whoopi and Ted find
funny in their bedroom, it's not
funny to the outside world he
said.
Goldberg said Williams left
shortly after Danson started
speaking and didn't hear the off-
color presentations by others such
as comic Robin Williams.
Miss Goldberg i.ad a state-
ment from Danson in which he
said he did not intend to appear
racist.
Miss Goldberg said she her-
self had written much of the ma-
terial for Danson and even found
him the makeup artist who ap-
plied the blackface.
She said the actor was hurt by
the criticism.
"Ted Danson is not a racist
Goldberg said, pointing to their
highly publicized relationship.
She is black, he is white. They
appeared together in the movie
"Made in America about a ra-
cially-mixed couple who have a
daughter.

soul-stirring rapture, music can be a
heartless business. Just ask Joey Dee.

and the Starliters. Still hazy? Does the
1962 hit "Peppermint Twist" tweak
your memory?
Now you know why Dee con-
ceived tl ie idea 20 years ago of found-
ing a retirement home for down-on-
their-luck musicians. His dream has
finally found its future home on a 63-
acre proterty in Lenox, where old
bards could hum a forgotten air be-
sideaquietpondorevenfashionnew
strains to perform in a 1,200-seat the-
ater.
"You're only as good as your last
hit recording, and that's kind of sad
Dee said during a recent tour stot in
Chicago. "We're talking about some
very, very artistic and proud people
who would not want to go around
with a hat in their hand, looking fov
handouts. I think they deserve a bet-
ter fate

green grove in this western Massa-
chusetts town, organizers hope to
build about 150 apartments as a re-

all styles?rock 'n' roll, jazz, popular,
American-Indian, classical. Thehous-
ingwillinclude some subsidized space
for musicians who, like band leader
Woody Herman or Supremes singer
Florence Ballard, fell on hard times.
Dee's initial efforts have
crescendoed over the years into the
National Music Foundation, which
moveditsofficesanct $575,000 annual
budget from St Petersburg, Fla to
Lenox in June.
Its ambitious plan for a National
Music Center now encompasses the

others in the recording or broadcast
irdustries,liveperfovmancesby those
who are still able, a recording studio,
a music library and archive, mentor
programs for young musicians, a
children's division led by entertainer
Shari Lewis and even a museum of
American music.
Organizers bill it as probably the
only place on earth where metal
meister Axl Rose and someone like
the late, mild-mannered Lawrence
Welk could mesh.
"Usually people like one type of
music said Gloria Pennington,
project director. "When you come
here, you'll have an idea of what the
scope of music is
The project has won the financial
support of the recording industry and
some of its luminaries. The
foundation's board of directors, be-
sides Dee, includes country stars
Johnny Cash and Reba McEntire,
trumpeter Herb Alpert, Motown
hitmaker Smokey Robinson, rapper
Hammer and opera singer Jessye
Norman.

Botero's chubby bronze sculptures
have arrived.

begins on 54th Street with "Mater-

All the way up the street, over-

New York straight from Paris where
they adorned the Champs Erysees.
They are weighty masterpieces, no
doubt aboutit. The work has a mythi-
cal feel to it, suggesting a world that is
beyond ordinary dimensions.
Because Botero's world is over-
flowing wi th fa t people and creatures,
their appearance in this weight-con-
scious country gives them a whimsi-
cal quality, and prompts some to
chuckle.
Don't chuckle too loudlv in the
artist's presence.
You might not associate him right
away with his work. Botero has fierce,
small eyes, a stem little mustache and
bristling gray hair that forms a crown
around an oblong, dark face. He wears
a blue shirt, a red tie and a grav suit
that is definitely size "regular

Avenue exhibit, the gallery is show-
ing more Botero sculptures and an
accompanying show of the artist's
pencil-and-watercolor drawings.
Here, more of the same world is ren-
dered on canvases depicting even-
thing from voluptuous women and
men to a voluptuous pineapple.

mentary he says, effectivelv silenc-

"Yet, yes, there is sometimes a
touch of humor in it. But I think of this
as a little door in an artist's work that
invites the spectator in. It's a way for
the artist to start a dialogue with his
public. Nowadays, there is so little
communication between the two
The plump womenand men that
people Botero's works are not based
on any particular person, he says. "I
don't work with models. Everything
you see comes from my imagination.
Ever since I was little, I have been
preoccupied with volume
Botero was bom 61 years ago in
Medellin, Colombia, and grew up, he
says, "a skinny kid But even in his
earliest paintings, which Botero
showed publicly for the first time at
age 16, his work had an obvious ap-
preciation for voluptuous figures.
Today, Botero says, his apprecia-
tion for econo-size extends into his
personal life only in the sense that "I

ture, nothing like that he adds with
a laugh "I have a normal wife, nor-

Botero says that from conception
to finished project, each of his sculp-
tures takes more than a year to ex-
ecute. A miniature of each is made,
followed by larger-than-life versions

which usually range in price from
$90 to $250, tit between the cam-

crease the focal length of a tele-

zoom lens ? giving you in effect
two lenses in one. For example,

lose one stop with a 1.5X
teleconverter, two stops with a 2X
converter, and four stops with a
3X converter.
As one example, when using
a 2X converter, a 70-210mm f4.5
5.6 zoom becomes a f8-11.2 zoom.
This reduction in light entering
the camera not only produces a
darker viewfinder image but may,
in subdued lighting conditions,
hinder autofocusing ? because
most AF SLR cameras are not de-
signed to autofocus with lenses
that have a maximum aperture of
f5.6 or smaller.
So, when using a 2X
teleconverter with a relatively
slow zoom or telephoto lens, vou
may have to focus manually.
What's more, unless you purchase
i known name, you will lose sub
stanrial image quality.
For the highest quality results
look tor a teleconverter with from
five to seven elements. Note that
teleconverters work best on fixed-
focal length lenses because they
!) are traditionally sharper and 2)
have wider apertures than zoom
lenses.
However, name-brand
teleconverters can be used on
zooms with acceptable results. In
addition, you'll probably get the
best image quality with a
teleconverter made specifically
for use with one focal length lens
? as opposed to a teleconverter
that can be used on a variety of
lenses.
Teleconverters are useful ac-
cessories for wildlife, portrait and
sports photography.
They are great for those who
like to travel light as well as for
those on a tight budget. In slide
shows, pictures iaken with a good
teleconverter and good lens will
be hard to tell apart from a picture
taken with a fixed-focal length
lens or zoom lens with the same
effective focal length. The same
holds true for enlargements up to
11x14 inches.
When shooting with a
teleconverter, you may, due to
the reduction in maximum f-stop,
need a faster speed film for a hand-
held exposure.
For example, if you are used
to shooting with ISO 100 film,
you may have to switch to ISO
200, which will give you a faster
shutter speed than ISO film in the
same lighting conditions.
In any case, it is a good idea to
pack a few extra rolls of medium
and fast film just in case the clouds
roll in and it gets a bit darker.

Family. Sonnefeld started out in Hol-
lywood as a cinematographer and
proves again in For Love or Money
that he has an eye for interesting
shots. Bestknown as thecinema tog-
rapher for the Coen brother's first
three films, Blood Simple, Raising
Arizona, and Miller's Crossing,
Sonnefeld knows how to catch the
viewer's eye. Whether he shoots the
city from high above it or winds the
camera through the narrow, dark
passageways of the hotel, Sonnefeld
constantlv angles thecamera tocatch
interesting nuances of the people
and scenery.
Unfortunately Sonnefeld tells a
disjointed tale in For Love or Money,
just as he did in The Addams Family.
The latter film seemed more like a
compilation of short skits than a
cohesive motion picture. Perhaps
Sonnefeld will learn to be a story-
teller and will thus a ugment his abil-
ity with the camera. If he does, he
could become a first-rate director.
TEAM
Besides Fox, the one bright spot
in this cast is Gabrielle Anwar. Her
Andy is disarmingly sweet with
plenty of spunk.
As much as I want to like
Michael J. Fox's pictures, something
always sabotages them. It's usually
the script. Both Life with Mikey, Fox's
summer film, and For Lave or Money
provide simple but fleeting plea-
sures.
On a scale of one to 10, For Love
or Money rates a six.

Bucs prepare for 'Dogs
By Brian Olson
Assistant Sports Editor
This year's homecomingcould
not have come at more opportune
time for ECU ? a win may help
savage a potentially dismal season.
The rest of this season's schedule
only gets harder and the Bucs will
sail into Ficklen Stadium Saturday
with a 1-4 mark. The struggling
offense has been locked up and has
not passed 'GO' since the loss of
starting quarterback Marcus
Crandell. Lastweek the Pirates saw
their two-game win streak over
South Carolina snapped, 27-3.
The bright spot for ECU is the
improved defense under new de-
fensive coordinator Larry Coyer.
The defense has shown a much-
improved ability to stop the run.
Five games into this season, the
defense has only allowed 134.4
yards per game on the ground, a
vast improvement on last year's
total of 253.4 per game. ECU's de-
fense has not had such success
stopping opposing runners since
1983 and Tech's offense is nothing
to write home to mom about.
The Bulldogs have used three
quarterbacks this year and none
have thrown for a TD. Jason Martin
has been their best signal caller,
going26of55 for 334 yards. Aaron
Ferguson has continued to search
for success after last season's disap-
pointment and will likely share
some time with Martin.
Tech departed with 18
lettermen from the offense last sea-
son, including offensive lineman
Willie Roaf. He was selected eighth
overall by the New Orleans Saints.
Techalsolosttheiroffensivecoordi-
nator,PatTilley.
The weak offensive line for
Bulldogs has not cleared the big
holes Roaf made last season for the
running game. LTU's main running
back to watch is Jason Cooper. He is
averaging 3.8 yards a carry and has
a total of 211 yards through four
games.
Defensive troubles are every-
where for Louisiana Tech. Oppo-
nents have barreled through the
young defense gaining 781 yards
over four games. They are allowing
an average of 4.6 yards per carry.
This could be the ingredient the
Pirates are looking for to take pres-
sure off the struggling passing of-
fense. The Bulldogs lost eight start-
ers from a defense that held oppo-
nents under 17 points nine times in
'92. National Champion Alabama
managed only 13 points against the
Bulldogs.
ECU runningbackjunior Smith
is running well for the Bucs. He has
gained 627 yards rushing and is
averaging 4.86 yards per carry. He
also has five TDs. Look for him to
have another big day against the
Bulldogs.
This week i t appears that Perez
Mattison will get the starting call
from coach Steve Logan at quarter-
back. The freshman has struggled
sofar,going8ofl7for67yardswith
four interceptions and no TDs. Last
week's starter Chris Hester will sit
because of reported injuries. The
offensive line must give Mattison a
chance to throw the ball and protect
him from injury.
The offensive line will miss
Derrick Leaphart and Terry
Tilgham, who have been out since
the Washington game and will re-
main out for the year. Linebacker
Mark Libiano,defensive back Hank
Cooper and half-back Greg Hoyd
are day-to-day.
The last time ECU played Loui-
siana Tech (1990), the Pirates won
27-17. The previous season Tech
forced a tie, 29-29, on a field goal
withl6secondsleft.Later,thegame
was forfeited by Louisiana Tech for
using an ineligible player.
Also, both teams faced off in the
1978 Independence Bowl in Shreve-
port, La. The Bucs won 35-13 and
held the Bulldogs to 12 yards rush-
ing.

East Carolina's swim teams are looking forward to another banner year. Head Coach Rick Kobe
expects to improve on last season's 10-2 record.
Swim teams set for season
By Brad Oldham
Staff Writer
One of the most successful athletic pro-
grams here at East Carolina is swimming. Rick
Kobe, entering his 12th season as head coach
of the swimming teams, is looking to continue
that success in the upcoming 1993-1994 sea-
son.
The Pirates are coming into this season off
a 10-2 record from last year. Both the men's
and women's teams finished in third place at
the CAA championships
held in Wilmington. ECU
combined to break 21 var-
sity and freshman records
as a team.
"We have a better team
mis year than last and we
are definitely looking to
break more records Kobe
said. "We want to move up
in the championship meet
and I feel like we have the
team to do it. Our strong
point is depth, along with
specialized talent. That's
what it takes to win meets
and championships
Winning the CAA
won't be easy for Kobe and
his swimmers. ECU brings
in a team with only two se-
nior girls and five senior
guys. The rest of the team is
made up of mostly very
young swimmers. Don't
worry though, because Kobe has recruited a
very talented group of first year swimmers.
The talentof the freshman swimmerscame
through on Oct. 5, when ECU held its annual
Pentathlon meet. The meet consists of all the
Pirate swimmers-competing in five different
events, scoring points for their overall perfor-
mance on the day. And what a day it was.
Sophomore Jackie Schieder set a new point
total record for the women and also set a Pentathlon
meet record in the 200 individual medley with a
2:15.08 time. Other records broken from the meet
were freshmen Melissa Phillips 100 Fly time 1:01.73
and Lesley Hawleys 100 backstroke time of 1:02.27.
Other strong performances from the women were
put out by freshmen Christy Winn, Ellen Howard,
Beth Browne, Elizabeth Bradnor and Meg Watson.
Sophomores Beth Humphrey and Rachel Atkinson
also turned out good scores.
On the guys side, it was sophomore David
Benson leading the way. Freshman Chris Bembenek
also had a good out-
ing, breaking a pen-
tathlon record with
a 54.73 time in the
100 backstroke. Se-
niors Carlos Ochoa
and Ben Soltz, came
in third and fourth
place, respectively.
Freshmen Brian
Wall, Alan Pritchett,
Ryan Barlow and
Erik Griffin also ac-
cumulated impres-
sive scores on the
day.
The Pirates obvi-
ously have a tough
road infrontof them.
The men are looking
to win their third
conference champi-
onship, while the
women are still
working on winning
their first. The Dukes of James Madison University
are going to be tough in defending their CAA crown,
but the tradition of ECU swimming is a strong
motivator in continuing future success.
East Carolina will hold the Purple-Gold meet
on Tuesday, Oct. 19. The team will be divided
equally and will compete against each other at the
Minges Aquatic Center. The Pirates first opponent
will be Virginia Tech on Oct. 30.

tively good unit.
The Bulldogs
may have had
more losses than
wins last year,
but those defeats
came at the
hands of some of
the nation's elite
program The
unit fell to na-
tional champion
Alabama by
only 13 points
and lost to pow-
erful Southern
Mississippi by
only a field goal.
Now as this season begins,
Peace finds himself in a rebuild-
ing process once again. As he
prepares to make a trip to Ficklen
stadium to face the struggling
Pirates, he talked about what his
job was like.
Q: What is the most frustrat-
ing aspect 6f your job?
A: I'd have to say that all the
Joe Peace
things you are looking at in the
future of Division I football,
the cuts that will be made on
programs and such. It's really a
tough league to play in.
Q: As a nineteen year vet-
eran of college coaching, you
have seen a great many players
come and go. How do the play-
ers of the 90s differ from those
you coached at the beginning
of your ca-
reer?
A: It's a
lot different
today. I think
that these
players are a
reflection of
our society in
general. I
think the so-
ciety plays a
big part in
how they do.
You have a lot
more kids
from broken
homes today.
When I
started, about
all you had to
do was be a
football
coach. These days, you have to
be a coach, a father, a discipli-
narian and a psychologist. You
have to be all of these things all
wrapped up in one.
Q: Coach, last year your
team was plagued by a number
of close losses, where you just
couldn't seem to win the game.

Hadelman holds high hopes
By Ashley Neal
Staff Writer
Unity and a good coach are
important characteristics for a
team to possess. Accord ing to Lisa
Hadelman, ECU's women's ten-
nis team has both. Hadelman, a
sophomore, is beginning her sec-
ond season with
the Lady Pirates
this year.
"He's
Coach Farfour
such a good
player
Hadelman said.
"Last year he
took us from a
losing record in
the fall to a win-
ning record in
the spring
A Roswell,
Georgia native,
Hadelman is a
long way from
home. She de-
cided to attend
ECU because of
her brother and the medical school.
Hadelman's brother came to ECU
on a golf scholarship and said he
loved it in Greenville. The medi-
cal school contributed to
Hadelman's decision because she
Lisa Hadelman
is a nursing major.
In high school, a fractured
ankle forced her to sit out for a
year and a half. She has made up
for lost time since then by teach-
ing lessons during the summer
months.Onceshehascompleted
her education and is a registered
nurse, Hadelman says she wou Id
enjoy teaching
private lessons
at a club.
For
Hadelman,
finding time to
study last year
was the biggest
adjustment she
had to make as
a freshman. Be-
cause she bal-
anced academ-
ics and athlet-
ics in high
school,
Hadelman
thought the
routine would
be similar in
college.
"In college you have tostudy
so much more and people al-
ways want you to go out

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) ?
Sou th Carolina reservequarterback
Flake Williamson couldn't figure
out why he wasn't playing much
k r the Gamecocks.
Once he got in, though, East
Carolina couldn't figure out a way
to stop him.
Wil liamson, who relieved Steve
Taneyhill in bth halves Saturday,
threw a touchdown pass and led a
second scoring drive in the Game-
cocks'27-3ictoryagainstEastCaro-
lina.
The redshirt sophomore
learned Thursday that he'd play.
Before Saturday, he hadn't spent
much time on the field for South
Carolina (3-3), although he com-
pleted the only two passes he threw
this season.
But when he came on with 8:27
left in the half and South Carolina
up 7-0,62307 fans roared with ap-
proval.
He quickly justified their faith,
hittingTerrell Harriswitha 17-yard
TD pass in the right comer of the
end zone.
"I don't know, for some reason
they like mea lot said Williamson,
whoalso guided a seven-play drive
in the fourth quarter that ended on
ReedMorton's20-yardfieldgoall
welcome that and certainly the
cheers get louder if you play well
Williamson has heard those
cheers a lot, but from the sidelines,
watching Taneyhill restore life to a
team that began the 1992 season 0-5.
The backup is certain he too can be
partoftheGamecocks'revitalization.
Tmalwaysdisappointed when
1 don't play because I know 1 can do
something when I get in there
Williamson said. "I try not to let that
get to me
The two quarterbacks comple-
ment each other well, said running
back Brandon Bennett, who gained
102 yards rushing to go past the 100-
yard mark for the fourth time this
season.
"Steve is move of a big-play guy,
while Blakecan picka teamaparthe
said. "I feel comfortable with both of
them in the game
Williamson finished 4 of 7 for 90
yards. Taneyhill, who threw a 6-yard
touchdown pass to Chris Alford in
the third quarter, was 9 of 16 for 69
yards and got sacked twice.
ButSouth Carolina coachSparky
Woodsqukklymadeitclear Taneyhill
? who didn't stick around to com-
ment after the game ? would keep
the starting job he's held the last 12
games.
"Steve's our quarterback he
said. "I'd been disappointed we
hadn'tbeenabletogetBlake in before
and demonstrate he is a good quar-
terback
South Carolina'sdefense, which
had failed to demonstrate its skills
effectively this season, limited East
Carolina to 236 total yards and a 25-
yard field goal by Chad Holcomb in
the second quarter.
Junior Smii gained 135 yards
rushing for the Pirates (1-4), who've
been outscored 137-32 in their four
losses.
"I've never been in a coaching
situation like this before East Caro-
lina coach Steve Logan said. 'Teach,
teach, teach, that's all we're doing.
We have the talent on this team to
play better,it'sjustamatter of putting
it all together
The Gamecocks, who lost 20-18
to the Pirates a year ago when Marty
Simpson missed a pair of field goals
in the final seconds, took advantage
of East Carolina's poor punting to
build a 14-7 half-time lead.
Comerback Frank Adams got a
piece of Bill Wilson's punt in the first
quarter. Joe Troupe caught the ball
overhisbackand returned it40yards
for a touchdown.
"It was planned all week said
Adams,whocameinuntouched from
Wilson's left side. "What they were
doingisjustlettingtheguy run. When
I saw that on film, I said 'Yeah, I'm
going to block a punt
In the second quarter, Toby
Cates returned another short punt
20 yards to East Carolina's 19, lead-
ing to Williamson's touchdown
throw
Linebacker Mike Landry set up

Coleman spent the 1989 season
as a redshirt freshman, then spent

position, although he did not see any
action because of injuries that he
sustained in spring practice.
During the Peach Bowl season of
1991, Coleman switched from offen-

William B.Dunavant, leader of
a Memphis group seeking to buy a
National Football League expan-
sion franchise, announced the name
for his hoped-for team Monday
night.
Business groups in Charlotte,
baltimore, St. Louis and Jackson-
ville, Fla also are in the competi-
tion for two expansion franchises.
Dunavant also said the Hound
Dogs would be coached by Pepper
Rodgers, former coach of the Mem-
phisShowboatsof the now-defunct
United States Football League.
"We're going to be bloodhound
dogs Dunavant told a sports
booster club. "We're going to be
mean, ugly, dirty, nasty, blood-
hound hound dogs
Dunavant said Steve Ehrhart,
former president of the Showboats,
would hold thatsame position with
the Hound Dogs.
Rodgers coached the Show-
boats for their two seasons in Mem-
phis, 1984 and 1985. Dunavant, a
Memphis cotton merchant, owned
the team.
AftertheUSFLfolded,Rodgers
went to work for Federal Express

was trying to buy an NFL franchise.
Dunavant took over as leader
of that effort in 1991. Smith is an
investor in Dunavant's group.
The Elvis Presley estate also is
an investor and Dunavant said the
team's name would link the fran-
chise to Presley to aid in promo-
tions and souvenir sales.
One of Presley biggest early
hits relied on the refrain "you ain't

Presley died at his Memphis
residence, Graceland, in 1977.
Rodgers, who serves as a

Dunavant, isa former head coachat
the University of Kansas, UCLA
and Georgia Tech, his alma mater.
The NFL is expected to decide
by the end of the month where it

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) -
Despite a medical finding that fa-
tigue caused his collapse the sec-
ond day of training camp, Charles
Barkley is convinced he'll need
back surgery someday.
Barkley, who plans to play two
more seasons, said team physician
Richard Emerson approved his
plan to put off the operation until
retirement.
"I don't think I could take a
year out of my life ? not at 30
Barkley said Monday after the 140-
mile drive from Phoenix to Flag-
staff.
"I look at how it affected Larry
Bird, who's a friend of mine and I
can't close it like that Barkley
continued.
Bird had back surgery in June
1991 and his production for the
Boston Celticsdropped sharply the
final year of his career.
Earlier Monday, Emerson in-
jected radioactive ink into Barkley
in the last of a cluster of diagnostic
techniques. Then he cleared
Barkley's return to the team.
On Sunday, the tests included
magnetic resonance imaging, a
CAT-scan and neurological proce-
dures.
Barkley restricted himself
Monday night to rid ing an exercise
bicycle, stretching, running and
shooting baskets. He said he would
not scrimmage or participate in
drills "for a couple of days
However, Suns trainer Joe
Proski and coach Paul Westphal
wouldn't rule out Barkley's par-
ticipation Friday night in the team's
first exhibition game, at home
against Golden State.
"It will be interesting to see
how he feels tomorrow after what
he did tonight Proski said.
Westphal said Barkley might
play a few minutes against the
Warriors.
"I'm just trying to get him
ready for the first game and if he's
not ready for the first game, I just
want him ready for the playoffs
Westphal said. "I'm not going to
rush him back into things at all
Westphal joked about the
value of Barkley, who helped him
set a first-year coaching record wi th
62 victories.
"I was kind of looking for-
ward to coaching without him on
the team Westphal said. "The
guy's a pain. You know, he doesn't
practice very hard and he talks too
much. I'm not sure he's an asset
The examinations were or-
dered after Barkley experienced
numbness in his left leg and
sprawled full-length following a
spirited scrimmage and wind
sprints Saturday night. He spent
30 minutes on the floor, partly
because Emerson had left the
Northern Arizona University cam-
pus.
A bulging disk in Barkley's
back ? first detected in August?
was suspected, but Emerson said
the numbness wascaused by "mus-
cular and respiratory fatigue
"The tests reveal the disk is
notherniated and there isnonerve
injury Emerson said in a state-
ment.
Headdedthaf'thickeningof
the soft tissue and ligament
around the nerve canal of the
lower left lumbar nerve" occa-
sionally puts pressure on the
nerve, causing pain.
But Barkley said Emerson
told him surgery wasn't needed
as long as he could play through
the pain. Treatment will bea vari-
ety of stretching exercises, soft
tissue treatments, occasional anti-
inflammatory medication and a
controlled practice schedule.

Gill is no fish out of water in Seattle
ing the
freshest fao
Kendall Gill, who comes to
after a brief and
unful filling ten ure with the Char-
lotte Hornets, is looking to be one
of the Sonics' key players. But the
25-year-old Gill won't say why
he left the up-and-coming Hor-
nets.
In Charlotte, Gill was charac-
terized as a malcontent who
didn't want to play second fiddle
to Larry Johnson or Alonzo
Mourning. There was also talk
that he was unhappy playing for
coach Allan Bristow.
Gil I a lso wanted more money
in Charlotte. He had an option to
become a restricted free agent af-
ter last season and was interested
in testing his market value.
But Gill's lips are sealed on
the exact reasons for his depar-
ture. The Sonics are his team now
and, as far as he's concerned, it's
all working out pretty well in Se-
attle.
"Don't I look happy?" he
asked.
And why shouldn't he? Gill
signed a seven-year guaranteed
$26.6 million contract that was
orchestrated by the Sonics to fit
under their salary cap.
The Sonics sent Eddie
Johnson and Dana Barrow, two
players who didn't fit their plans,
I "hariotte in exchange for him.
I he Sonics also gave the Hornets
the right to switch first-round
picks in the 1994 NBA draft.
The Sonics think the trade
puts them closer to supplanting
three-time NBA champion Chi-
cago.
Gill knows he won't be the
main man with the Sonics.
All-Star Shawn Kemp is the
No. 1 player in Seattle. And there
area lot of other key men such as
Gary Payton, Derrick McKey,
Ricky Pierce and Sam Perkins.
But that's not an issue, Gill
says. He just wants to do every-
thing he can to help the Sonics
win an NBA championship.
"I want to be here he said.
"I want to finish my career here
The Sonics have created a
starting job for Gill by moving
Pierce into a sixth-man role. It
wasa role Pierce filled effectively
in Milwaukee before coming to
Seattle.
So the 6-foot-5 Gill will start
in Seattle's backcourt at of f guard
opposite point guard Gary
Payton.
Sonics coach George Karl
doesn't think he'll ha veany prob-
lems coaching Gill.
"I like Kendall Karl said. "I
think he's a good person and I
thinkhe'sa helluva player. I think
he's going to be special
The Sonics know it's going to
take a while for Gill to blend in

The Sonics won 55 games and
reached the Western Conference
Finals last season. Gill doesn't
feel pressure but he wants to hel p
get his new team to the NBA Fi-
nals this season.
"I think that all Ihavetodois
work hard and help this team
win he said. "If we can win,
then that will be my justification.
I don't want to be a superstar
here. AH 1 want to do is contrib-
ute and help this team win
Gill was the fifth player
picked in the 1990 draft. In three
seasons in Charlotte, he averaged
16.1 points, with last season's
average being 16.9. In the Hor-
nets' first trip to the playoffs last
season, he averaged 17.3 points.
Although he led the Big Ten
in scoring in his senior season
with 20 points per game for Illi-
nois in 1990, he may be a better
defensive player in the NBA. He's
averaging 1.5 steals per game in
his career.
"I love to play defense he
said.
If there's a question about
Gill's game, it's his shooting
range. He has a .457career shoot-
ing averageand his outside shoot-
ing has been questioned.

I wo years ago, pro basketball
enjoyed 3 4 an embarrassment t
riches. It had the odd couple of
megastars, Magic and Larry, work-
ing either coast and an equally daz-
zling conjurer named Michael work-
ingthemiddle. Ithad seamless mar-
keting, a healthy bottom line and a
pipeline,collegebasketball, that pro-
vided potential stars with proven
Nielsen ratings.
It had peace at the bargaining
bible, peace in Kith the teams' and
the league's front offices and a very
substantial piece of the most demo-
graphically desirable pies.
In every way but one, not much
has changed. The NBA still boasts
big money, a big audience and big
thinkers. But as the panic set off by
Barkley'sthankfully brief, verv scary
stay in a Phoenix hospital proved,
the league's supply of real marquee
names suddenly seems very small.
And for a league so dependent on
stars to sell, that could spell big
trouble.
Since Magic Johnson made his
first, stunning announcement of re-
tirement in November 1991, Larry
Bird and now Michael Jordan have
repaired to the sidelines along with
him. AlsoslippingoutwastheNBA's
mad-comic genius, Kevin McHale,
who left so quietly it seemed he
wanted to be underappreciated to
the very end.

By Sunday night, Suns presi-

tests seemed to confirm initial suspi-

hack was the source of the problem.
And that by simply reducing the
length and fury of his practicing,
BarkJey could go back to work with-
out limitations.
Of course, at Jordan's farewell
news conference, Stem kxiked any-
thing but tired. He was his upbeat,
assured self.
When asked about the effect of
losing the trifecta of Johnson, Bird
and Jordan, hedead panned, "We're

the Bears, who sacked him seven
times, intercepted him twice and
forced him to fumble twice.
But Blister is new to the Eagles

fouryears(although he's thrown only
eight passes). Still, coach Din Shula

Cunningham, but Brister was awful
Sunday. They figure to slide behind
the Cowboys and Giants in the NFC

their best receiver, is out for the sea-
son.

other one-time Super Bowl starter

Including McMahon, who
started the 1986 game for the Bears,
quarterbacks who have missed time
include startersineight Super Bow Is:
Marino; McMahon; Montana (four
with the 49ers); Jeff Hostetler of the
Raiders (Giants, 1991) and
Washington's Mark Rypen.

now demoted ? Bill Belichick an-
nounced after thegame that Vinny's
now the starter.
That makes Kosar, who just
signed a $27 million, 7-year contract,
the world's highest paid backup.
