ECU breaks ground for future Rec Center
By Laura Allard
Phot by Harold Wise
ECU students and administrators were on hand to witness the ground breaking ceremony Tuesday afternoon
for the new Rec Center beside Mendenhall. The center is expected to open in November of 1995.
Staff Writer
ECU officials broke ground
on the future 150,000 square foot
student recreation center, which
will cover the three and a half acre
ground west of Mendenhall.
At the sight of the future
swimming pool, Chancellor Ri-
chard Eakin celebrated the begin-
ning of construction by shooting
the first basket.
Eakin thanked the students
and faculty who began work on
the project in 1987 and credited
them for making the project a re-
ality.
"Great things happen because
people dream, and great things
happen because people are com-
mitted he said.
Co-chair of the Planning Com-
mittee, Nance Mize, thanked ev-
eryone involved with the project
and said, "Today has been long
awaited and eagerly anticipated
Mize looks forward to No-
vember 8, 1995, when everyone
will gather again to open the new
building.
Eakin was thankful to former
SG A President Scott Thomas, who
explained to the crowd of faculty
members that he was the first to
approach Eakin with the need for
a new recreation center. Thomas
drafted a
shovel, appropriately matching
the trim of the future building.
The future building will in-
clude a large sports complex with
six basketball courts, accommo-
dations for volleyball and bad-
minton, seven handball
raquetball courts, one squash
court, an
resolution
introducing
it to other

ganizations.

Memory of King
lives on at ECU
By Tammy Carter
Staff Writer
"Even though the dreamer
was killed, the source of the
dream will never die These
were the inspiring words of Rev-
erend Ronald P. McDougal, the
guest speaker at the 10th An-
nual Martin Luther King, Jr.
Leadership Awards Ceremony
Monday night.
"King would not want us
to gather on his birthday with
mourning and sadness
McDougal reminded the audi-
ence, "but with service and cel-
ebration
The audience on Monday
night gathered in Mendenhall
Student Center, after a candle-
light march from Christenbury
Gymnasium "to celebrate the
man behind the dream
McDougal said.
Master of Ceremony, Eu-
gene Smith, introduced the cer-
emony and Rev. Sidney Locks
opened with the invocation.
Willie Joyner welcomed the a u-
dience.
Next, Demetrius Carter
gave the history of Alpha Phi
Alpha.
"Alpha Phi Alpha, the first
and oldest intercollegiate Black
Greek letter organization was
founded on Dec. 4,1906, on the
campus of Cornell University
in Ithaca, New York Carter
said.
Seven young men estab-
lished the organization, and
were later known as the "Seven
Jewels of Alpha Phi Alpha
"Our symbols are African.
Our traditions are African. Our
rituals are African. Our name is
African Carter stated. "From
its infancy to the present time,
Alpha has fought for equality
and advancement of the Afri-
can-American race
Carter went on to explain
how many successful black men
were members of Alpha Phi Al-
pha and how the fraternity en-
courages programs that pro-
mote the success of the African-
American male.
After the history of Alpha
Phi Alpha, the ECU gospel choir
sang several selections, after
which Chancellor Richard Eakin
introduced Rev. McDougal.

Monday night's speaker, could

Students urged to help save environment
By Jason Williams
Assistant News Editor
From the narrow pine-cov-
ered ridge where I sit, I watch the
colors of the day fall across the marsh
and creek. It is easy to overlook the
marsh grasses that border the river
?the marsh grasses that are busily
converting energy into life, organic
matter into food, andfdtering pol-
lution out of the waters.
David McNaught, the au-
thor of the above words, wants
to make sure no one overlooks
those marsh grasses and the
wetlands in which they are con-
tained. That would explain why
he and others formed PTRF, the
Pamlico-Tar River Foundation, in
1981, dedicated to preserving
water quality in the Pamlico and
Tar River Basin.
PTRF is a grassroots envi-
ronmental organization made up
of residents from Pitt and Beau-
fort Counties. Many ECU faculty
and students count themselves
among its members. McNaught is
rheexecutivedirectorof PTRF and
he explained the mission of the
group.
"We do not exist to resist
development within our water-
shed; growth is inevitable. We
exist to insure that it occurs within
an aesthetic, ethical and ecologi-
cal framework
The group formed in reac-
tion to a Beaufort county
commissioner's plan to allow
Texasgulf Chemicals Company to
mine for the phosphate reserves
underlying the Pamlico River.
"The riverbed mining skir-
mish alerted us to two discreet
facts about river protection
McNaught said. "First, the prob-
lems of the river were multifac-
eted; the river would not be pro-
tected by a single action but would
demand long-term vigilance, and,
second, any efforts to protect the
river would be most effective on a
wa tershed-wide basis
McNaught says that the two
rivers, the Tar and the Pamlico,
are inextricably bound. "You
can't know one without con-
sidering the other he said.
In fact, the rivers are re-
ally one and the same. The
Tar, which flows around the
northern fringe of Greenville,
is exclusively a freshwater
river. It has its source in trie
Piedmont farmlands of Per-
son, Granville and Vance
counties and flows east
through Rocky Mount, Green-
ville and Little Washington,
N.C.

ECU students and faculty
who live in Greenville's con-
trolled parking areas need to buy
new stickers from the Public
Works Department by Feb. 14.
The stickers are five dollars,
much less than parking tickets
and towing fees.
Controlled parking stick-
ersalsoallow residents a luxury
that some commuters and stu-
dents living in dorms do not
have Thev may park in the fa-
miliar two-hour parking zones
located north of campus, all day
every day.
The controlled parking ar-
eas were put into effect mostly
because of the increased student
population over the past few
years, said Bob Ramey, Green-
ville city councilman.
Ramey also stressed that
ECU is long overdue for parking
decks like those found at UNC
and State.
"The parking situation is
very critical for the students of
ECU Ramey said. ECU contin-
ues to increase the number of
students without creating park-
ing spaces, Ramey said.
"Student parking costs
would pav for it he said.
Controlled parking areas
have two divisions, A and B.
Both stickers expired on Dec. 31,
new stickers can be obtained
through the Greenville Public

The cold weather has set
in, and right now you are prob-
ably wrapped up in a heavy
winter coat or you are enjoying
the warmth of your apartment
or dorm room.
Many Greenville residents
are not fortunate enough to have
heaters or even coats. Local
agencies continue this winter to
provide the poverty stricken
and homeless with warm coats,
cots and food.
The Soup Kitchen serves
warm food each day to the nu-
merous hungry who walk and
live on Greenville streets. But
the soup kitchen can not sur-
vive alone. Volunteers are
needed to serve lunch from 11
a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
Agencies like the Soup
Kitchen rely on ECU'S Student
Volunteer Program to provide
workers for their cause. The Vol-
unteer Program, which began
in 1989, has flourished, increas-
ing from a handful of, volun-
teers to over 700 each semester.
"It has been from the ea-
gerness of our students to be of
service to the community that
the program has continued to
grow each year said Judy-
Baker, program director.
The program originally
drafted students from Health
1000 courses, as part of its cur-
riculum. Other students showed
interest, and today the program
is open to any individual or
group who wishes to volunteer
their time.
With over 46 agencies to
choose from, there is something
for everyone. Some of the more
popular agencies include: The
Ronald McDonald House,
which provides a place to stay
for families of seriously ill chil-
dren who are patients at Pitt
Memorial Hospital; The Little
Willie Center, an outreach pro-
gram for latchkey children; The
American Red Cross and The
Dream Factory, a group who
grants wishes to children with
terminal illnesses.
Baker added that many ad-
vanced study programs, such
as veterinary medicine and
health careers, require appli-
cants to complete hours of com-
munity service.
"Volunteerism should be
part of every student's educa-
tion and it will be important in
careers Baker said.
According to Baker, vol-
unteering offers reciprocal ben-
efits. You, as the volunteer, help
the agencies and the volunteer-
ing experience is beneficial to
you.
Originally, the program
was sponsored by a two-year
federal ACTION grant. After
that grant expired, a private
grant was donated by the Z.
Smith Reynolds Foundation.
Traditionally, that grant only
lasts a year, but the program
was given a continuation based
on its great progress.
"This is the first year our
program has been fully funded
by the university Baker said.
Currently, the ECU volun-
teer program is consulting with
seven other universities who
wish to begin their own pro-
grams.
Volunteering can make a
lasting impact on a person, ac-
cording to Baker.
"The ultimate goal of our
program is to get students in-
volved in volunteering very
early and, hopefully, they will
make lifelong commitments to
volunteerism she said.
Whatever a student learns
at ECU they will take with them.
"A good experience with
the ECU volunteer program can
make an impact on other com-
munities Baker said.

Over one quarter of adults
in Pitt County are illiterate. The
Literacy Volunteers of America
(LVA) are trying to reduce that
figure by teaching people in Pitt
County how to read.
OnThursdayJan. 13, over
30 volunteers came from all over
Pitt County to begin training
on teaching adults how to read.
Many volunteers are ECU stu-
dents, a few are ECU faculty
and others are new to the area
or come from such varied back-
grounds as nursing and public
works. The LVA center is lo-
cated on Third Street and all
literacy classes will be held
there.
"If you teach someone
how to read, you are teaching
them how to function said
Chris Brueckner, president of
LVA. "You are making such a
change, you're going to open
up the door to a whole new
world for these people
Classes will continue
weekly from 7 p.m. to9:30 p.m.
until Feb. 7. When training is
completed, each volunteer will
be matched with a student.

ROTC students guarantee themselves high salary
? t . in Ajt-c- ?ri11 corvp in HrAtirni
By Stephanie Lassiter
Staff Writer
For many students who are
soon to be graduating, the idea
of a $24,000 a year job sounds
very inviting.
Nine ECU students walked
straight from their exams into
jobs which started with an an-
nual salary of no less than $24,
688.32. The positions include
free health and dental care for a
year and 30 days paid vacation
each year.
Four more students will
follow in their footsteps by the
end of the summer. All 13 stu-
dents are Cadets of ECUArmy
ROTC.
"Once the cadets are ac-
cepted in upper level ROTC
courses, known as the Advanced
Course, and complete the Ad-
vanced Course, they are com-
missioned as 2nd Lieutenants
in either Active Duty or Re-
serve said Captain Bill Pitts,
associate professor of Military
Science.
Pitts said the cadets will
compete for active duty, which
is preferred over reserve duty.
This year's cadet group
was unusually exceptional be-
cause all cadets who requested
active duty, received active duty
assignments. Two cadets re-
quested reserve duty; both re-
quests were granted.
A board in Washington,
D.C. selects who will receive ac-
tive duty commission. Accord-
ing to the ECU ROTC press re-
lease, as 2nd Lieutenants, these
cadets will serve in branches
such as Infantry, Nursing
Corps, Field Artillery and
Military Intelligence.
The cadets will begin
their commissions at the time
of their graduation.
The following cadets
will be graduating by the end
of the summer: Paul T.
Campbell II, Quartermaster
Corps; Timothy Domke, In-
fantry; Nevin L. Gamble, Ar-
mor; and Kevin P. Leitch, Sig-
nal Corps.

Nutrition majors beat naf 1 average
By Stephanie Lassiter
Staff Writer
This fall nine ECU nutrition
and dietcdcs majors successfully
completed the Registration Exam
for Dietitians.
The exam has a national pass-
ingrateof88percent. Onehundred
percent of the ECU students passed
the exam.
"The national exam is about
300 questions, takes about four
hours and asks questions on basic,
clinical and community nutrition,
as well as food science, food service
and administrative dietetics said
Dr. Margie Gallagher, professor of
Nutrition and Hospitality Manage-
PARKING
ment.
All nine students have gradu-
ated and are pursuing careers as
dietitians.
The dietetics clinical practice
program was established in 1988.
All of its graduates have success-
fully completed the examination
which is necessary to register as a
dietitian.
Each of the graduates com-
pleted a pre-professional nutrition
dietetics program in an institutional
setting or a master's degree pro-
gram.
"This is a post-BS program
said Dr. Evelyn S. Farrior, former
program director and associa te pro-
fessor in the department of Nutri-
tion and Hospitality Management.
"The students are selectively ad-
mitted based on a high criteria. The
training program involves 1,000
hours of practical experience in
health care facili ties in eastern N .C
The current director of the
program is Janet Bryan, MSHE.
There are now 10 students in the
program.
"We are one of only four pro-
grams in North Carolina Farrior
said. "Our program has an excel-
lent reputation among programs of
this tvpe. The program was planned
with a lot of flexibility to accommo-
date students who are working part
time and who live in different North

Many reasons can be found
when trying to answer why a
person does not learn to read. The
class discussion centered around
living in a rural area and having
no reason to learn to read; recent
immigration, childhood abuse or
even frustration in school.

In 1984 and 1986, PTRF re-
ceived grants from the Z. Smith

This money allowed the group to

Phillips left PTRF in 1986 to

storm in Charlotte. Fortunately,
Rev. McDougal happened to
have his Martin Luther King, Jr.
speech in his car.
McDougal preaches at
Clinton Chapel AME Zion
Church in New Bern. He was
born and raised in New York
and attended Livingstone Col-
lege in Salisbury, NC, where he
received his BA. He attended
seminary in Massachusetts and
has pastored in Rochester, NY,
and Providence, RI.
He always wanted to come
back to North Carolina, and was
appointed by the bishop of the
church 14 years ago. He only
planned to stay for four or five
years, but said that something
about the area must have kept
him here.
McDougal began his
speech by remembering Aug. 28,
1963, when people of all ages,
races, gender and religious af-
filiation gathered on the White
House mall to march and dem-
onstrate the need for equality,
justice and jobs. He said that
after hearing many speeches
throughout the hot afternoon,
the crowd turned to the Lincoln
Memorial where King spoke the
famous words, "I have a dream
"We must not let Dr. King's
dream die McDougal insisted.

for all people. I challenge you
not to get a degree just to make
a living, but a degree to help
somebody McDougal chal-r
lenged the audience.
After McDougal con-
cluded his message, the Eta Nu
Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fra-
ternity, Inc. showed the video
of King giving his "I Have a
Dream" speech.
Afterwards, Eta Nu pre-
sented the G.P.A. certificates for
the male and female in each class
with the highest G.P.A. They
are as follows: Freshmen Tavia
Gilbert and Michael Boney;
Sophomore Cherilynn Johns and
Toby Merrill; Juniors Julia
Evanson and Steven Cozark; and
Seniors Marisa Roach and
Roderick Batts. Ike Copeland
and Derek Batson presented the
certificates.
The MLK Leadership
Award was awarded to Robin
Wooten, and the Community
Service Award was presented
to William Shiver. After re-
marks by other people challeng-
ing the audience to live up to
King's dream, Michael Brooks
led the Negro National Anthem
and Reverend Sidney Locks
closed with the benediction and
blessing. Refreshments were
served after the ceremony.

Inman calls it quits before even beginning
Why is it that everytime good, investiga-
tive reporters do their job, people whip out the
ole' accusation of employing "modern
McCarthyism methods"?
When Retired Adm. Bobby Inman with-
drew as defense secretary nominee Tuesday,
saying he was "distressed and distracted" by
attacks on his character and reputation, the
media came alive. In actuality, many members
of the media enjoyed a typical game of "Let's
Investigate" long before this latest (and, we're
assuming, final) action by Inman. After all,
that's our job
He lashed out during the rambling,
hourlong news conference, accusing, in par-
ticular, New York Times columnist William Safire
and Senate Republican Leader Robert Dole of
plotting to undermine his nomination. He
stated that "there were reports, which both
will probably deny, that there was a trade
between Safire and Senator Dole, that if Sena-
tor Dole would turn up the heat on my nomi-
nation that Safire would turn up the heat on
Whitewater development
Safire was quoted in yesterday's editions
of Times as saying the allegations were "noth-
ing short of weird adding that he never talked
to Dole about Inman.
During the news conference, Inman also
talked about his failure to pay Social Security
taxes for his housekeeper and that his wife did
contribute to the family finances by inherit-
ance ? topics that the media reported on but
hardly attacked like the hungry, sadistic wolves
Inman has made us out to be.
The accusation directed at Safire and Dole
marked the latest public glimpse into a cat and
mouse feud between Inman and ideological
conservatives that dates back nearly three de-
cades. Inman made his decision believing that
subsequent attacks would come with great regu-
larity if he accepted the post.
In his resignation letter to Clinton explain-
ing his decision, Inman wrote that he was fed up
with "rush-to-judgement distortions of my
record, my character and my reputation He
"sensed elements in the media and the political
leadership of the country who would rather
disparage or destroy reputations than work to
effectively govern the country Well, boo-hoo.
Talk about fragile egos! (poor, delicate
Bobby Ray Inman)
The White House is probably breathing a
collective sigh of relief that someone as wishy-
washy as Inman decided to resign now, instead
of pathetically floundering in the barbaric hands
ofnews media (not even the media on the whole,
but a lone journalist).
He demonstrated a Perot-like short fuse
and an intolerance for the sort of investigative
reporting that any public official must endure.
Not only that, but in an interview late
Tuesday on ABC-TV's "Nightline Inman said
four reporters had called him Tuesday asking if
he was gay. He went on to say that "if you can't
find any other way to destroy a reputation, try
that one As if being gay (or even accused of it)
is the most tragic, awful thing to be. Incredible.
Well, it's back to the old drawing table for
Clinton. As for Inman ? good riddance.

Zhirinovsky signals change in U.S. relations
From the moment the fi-
nal votes were tallied in
Russia's most recent election it
became apparent that Boris
Yeltsin's days as president are
numbered.
With the
overwhelming ??????H
victory by
Russia's Liberal
Democratic
Party, a "pro-
test" vote, the
ascent of
Vladimir
Zhirinovsky,
leader of the
Liberal Demo- ma?m
cratic Party and
likely next president of Russia,
signals an imminent change in
U.SRussian relations.
By labeling Zhirinovsky
as an ultranationalist or right-
wing conservative, the U.S. me-
dia seems to be grooming him
as America's next great threat
to grandmother, apple pie and
Chevrolet.
This leads us to what may
be America's biggest problem
over the next couple of years:
Is the cold war really over or
just in hibernation?
We must remember that
our primary interest in Russia
is still its nuclear threat. With
this understood, the U.S. faces
two possible scenarios. The one
thing they both have in com-
mon is that American tax dol-
lars will be lost.
The first scenario, and
most likely, is that Vladimir
Zhirinovsky will become
Russia's next president and the
U.S. and Russia will resume
cold war hostilities.
If this happens, billions
of American tax dollars will
again be pumped into our na-
tional defense and we will re-
turn to the threat of a nuclear
holocaust.
Of course our first scenario
does not have to pan out this
way. Russian expert and
Harvard
We must
remember that our
primary interest in
Russia is still its
nuclear threat.
professor,
Philip
Zelikow,
duly notes
"that,
Democrats
and advo-
cates of
greater
freedom
are often
the most
strident secular nationalists
Zhirinovsky has already
gone on record as saying that he
would be more than happy for
Russia to work with the U.S. as
an equal partner in world af-
fairs.
However, he is concerned
that the U.S. will try to exploit
Russia's natural resources, but
this is simply posturing since
the only really enticing com-
modity is their oil reserves.
With President Clinton's
snubbing of Zhirinovsky on his
recent trip to Russia, it appears
that the White House is not go-
ing to take Zhirinovsky seri-
ously.
Instead, U.S. foreign policy
makers are hoping that Boris
Yeltsin can somehow recapture
his lost popularity. This is a big
gamble considering that to date
most of Yeltsin's economic re-
forms have failed miserably.
Also, we should not forget
that Ye'Nin is no great promoter
of democracy. It has only been
three months since he seized dic-
tatorial power to rule Russia (an
act which President Clinton con-
doned!). Zelikow notes that,
"The adhesion to Yeltsin risks
encouraging within Russia ex-
actly the polarized, anti-Ameri-
can tendencies that Washington
fears
The White House knows
Yeltsin is committed to "eco-
nomic reform" and the western-
ization of Russia. Thus, they are
willing to sacrifice billions of
U.S. tax dollars, as well as demo-
cratic values, in order to keep
Yeltsin in power, provided he
can stave off Zhirinovsky.
Of course, Boris Yeltsin is
a survivor. He overthrew Mikail
Gorbachev because he felt that
Gorbachev was moving too
slowly on economic reform.
However, since Yeltsin's
ascent to power and his imple-
mentation of shock economics,
Russia's economy has steadily
worsened. A nation which at one
time was on the verge of joining
the first world is now on the
verge of falling back into the
third world.
Can Russia save itself from
economic ruin?
They can if they continue
to vote the way they did in their
last election. Yeltsin's reforms
are no good for Russia. Vladimir
Zhirinovsky knows this and so
do the Russian people.
They also know that when
you are knocked down, you can-
not expect to be helped up by
those who knocked you down.
You have to help yourself get
back up.
Hopefully when
Zhirinovsky becomes president,
the White House will try to work
with him and not simply dis-
miss him as some crazed dema-
gogue, or else we will again face
the threat of nuclear annihila-
tion.

Oppression and eggplant: spectrum opposites
I went to see a band with
some friends the other night and
we ended up ? somehow or
other ? discussing the cliches
that were administered to us by
our parents during our forma-
tive years.
Among familiar favorites
were "you'll catch your death of
cold unless you wear your coat
"I swear this will be the last
vacation we will ever take
"you better not even think about
leaving this house dressed like
that "you better be careful or
you face might freeze like that
"put a smile on your face this
instant and "you better eat that
food. There are people starving
in(fill in the blank: either
India, China or Africa)
I could never figure out
how eating my food would, in
any way, help people who were
starving in India or anywhere
else for that matter.
The one statement that
struck a nerve with all of us was
the ever popular "you should
just be thankful
Do you remember this one?
This phrase is used as a reminder
that no matter how big your
problems are, there are people
out there with bigger ones.
I will demonstrate the use
of this pacifying statement in
terms of the present parking
situation. Suppose you came up
to me and said, "Laura, I can't
find a parking place and it re-
ally sucks I would answer you
by saying, "You should just be
thankful that you have a car
I would never really say
that, of course ? but enough
about parking.
If you have a zit, you
should just be thankful that you
don't have two zits. You have
two zits? You should just be
thankful that you have a head
upon which to have zits.
If you don't want to walk
the dog, you should just be
thankful that you have a pet that
can walk. You know that if you
had a goldfish, you would want
to take it for walks all the time
and then where would you be?
In certain situations, the
"just be thankful" phrase can
even be substituted for "there
are people starving" phrase. For
example: instead of "you had
better eat that eggplant. There
are people starving in a par-
ent might say "you should just
be thankful that you have egg-
plant. Think of all the people
who don't have eggplant
Consider the larger impli-
cations of this statement. Sure,
we should be thankful for the
things that we have but it's also
okay to complain and disagree
?actually, these two things are
often much more productive
than gratefulness.
Think of all of the peoples
that have been oppressed
throughout the history of the
United States who have been
told that they should just be
thankful for the injustices that
they have suffered.
Think of all of the women
who have remained in abusive
relationships just because
someone told them just to be
thankful that they had a rela-
tionship.
Maybe oppression and
eggplant are at different ends
of the issues spectrum but we
have to start small and work
our way up. The next time
someone tells you to eat your
eggplant because there are
people starving, maybe you
could remind them that there
are ways to aid people who
don't have enough to eat ?r
and then maybe they could do
something to help.
The next time someone
tells you that you should just
be thankful, take it as an at-
tempt to pacify you and thefi
feel free to remain dissatisfied.
For example, if you tried
to use the library over the holr-
day weekend only to discover
that it was closed for two whole
days and you couldn't do the
research that you needed to do
by Tuesday, you don't have to
just be thankful that there is a
library on this campus (yo$
know, the place with all thfe
books?), or that you can read
(if you can indeed read), yon
can complain and try to do
away with unfair policies.
Or you can write an opiiv
ion column. And if you think it
has been cold here lately, you
should just be thankful that yoy
don't live in Minnesota.
Stuff you should know
? Do you care about parking? Are you ticked off that you paid $70 for a piece of plastic that
assures you nothing? And insteadof parking on campus with your on-campus parking sticker,
you have to park miles awayoff-campus and walk to class, grumbling all the way? Well guess
what? The price of those precious, little student parking stickers may increase.
So grab a friend and go the Parking Committee Meeting in room 212 of Mendenhall today
at 2:30 p.m. Issues discussed may include the possibility of raising those already over-priced
decals. Go and complain ? this is a golden opportunity. You can't say we didn't warn you.
? White Residence Hall is going co-ed. As of now, the dorm (ooh, sorry, residence hall)
houses only women. But beginning in the summer of '94, White will be home to both men and
women in much the same way Fletcher operates ? let's say, men on the second floor, women
on the third floor and so on. But the interesting twist in this alteration is that the rooms will be
single-occupancy only. The added perk comes in the form of a refrigerator and carpeting. You'll
pay for it, of course, but isn't a single room worth it? You decide.
? Starting yesterday, the drivers of most commercial trucks and buses operating in
North Carolina are banned from using radar detectors. The Federal Highway Administra-
tion (FHWA) officially banned radar detectors in most commercial motor vehicles
nationwide, citing the need for measures to save lives and reduce injuries on the high-
ways. Intrastate drivers in North Carolina are also banned from using radar detectors.
So if you're in North Carolina and you're using a radar detector, remember that if
Officer Friendly pulls you and discovers your precious fuzz-buster, that it will be
confiscated and a citation will be given (with fines for the first offense not more than $500
and not more than $2,000 for any subsequent offense). Incentive enough
? Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean-Luc Picard of "Star Trek" fame) will be hosting "Saturday
Night Live" on February 5. Guest band is Salt-n-Pepa. This is possibly one of the coolest men
walking the planet today, and unlike some guest hosts, a good actor. Watch with glee, Trekkies!
In accordance with the von cold temperatures that have plagued
most of the United States recently (and more specifically, Greenville), the
mailbox for the Opinion Editor at The East Carolinian has remained as cold
(and lonely). To help end this tragedy, send all letters with your name, class
rank and major to Publications Bldg ECU, Greenville, N.C 27858-4353.

United Way seeks help
By Bridget Hemenway
Staff Writer
, The United Way of Pitt County
is currently recruiting volunteers
to assist in its yearly allocations
process.
The United Way of Pitt County
is a non-profit organization that
supports 33 member-agencies
ited to serving the human
? care needs of people of all
I and walks of life.
Agency allocations for the
Jed Way of Pitt County is an
emely valuable, once-a-year
process for this organization. The
volunteers involved in this process
are the ones who assure that a
donor's gift is well spent by deter-
mining the level of financial sup-
port United Way provides its 33
member-agencies.
Each year approximately 70
volunteers from thecommunity are
recruited, trained and assigned to
one of the five service committees
which help the less fortunate within
thecommunity. The five commit-
tees are: Special Needs, Emer-
gencyBasic Needs, Emerging
Needs, Education and Support Ser-
vices and Youth Services.
Volunteers within each com-
mittee visit their respective agen-
cies,review theorganizationalbud-
get and service information, and
hear a formal request from each
agency. From this informationeach
committee makes recommenda-
tions on funding.
The United Way of Pitt County
will not only benefit and support
its 33 local member-agencies in Pitt
County. The organization will also
be helping five additional agencies
in 1994. These five agencies will be
receiving "venturegrants" thisyear
to assist them in serving the needs
of their clients. The venture grant
funds are one-time start-up money
allocations totalling $33,810.
"This money will go to agen-
cies that are addressing emerging
and diverse needs and that have
immediate and significant impact
in this community said Bernita
Demery, venture grant committee
chair.
Mrs. Demery said that the
money is given to enhance the
organization's long-term plan to
be a community problem-solver
in Pitt County and to try to help
more people in Pitt County.
The agencies selected range
from those helping at-risk chil-
dren to adults who are unem-
ployed.
If you are interested in volun-
teering for the United Way of Pitt
County contact: Greg Allinson,

tor, at 758-1604.

Who's There?
BEVERLY HIlLS, Calif. (AP)
?Walter Matthau has enjoyed his
share of on-screen romances, but
his movie and TV pairings with
fellow actors have produced more
second dates.
He has repeatedly hooked up
with Jack Lemmon for such clas-
sics as The Odd Couple and the cur-
rent Grumpy Old Men. On televi-
sion, Matthau and Harry Morgan
perform a hat trick with their third
"incident" movie.
In Incident in a Small Town
(CBS), Matthau reprises his role as
attorney HarmonCobb. Morgan is
back as Judge Stoddard Bell, this
time accused of murder and inneed
of his friend Cobb's help.
The two first appeared as the
rumpled lawyer and stem judge in
1991 's The Incident. That was fol-
lowed the next year by Against Her
Will: an Incident in Baltimore.
The veteran actors ? sharing
salads, cappuccino ice cream and a
window table at a Beverly Hills
tennis club ? look as if friendship
has emerged from their collabora-
tion.
"I love this guy says Mor-
gan. "Well, I'm very fond of him
he adds, amending his remark with
a smile.
"I wouldn't go to dinner with-
out him Matthau says, referring
to their daily evening meals while
filming Incident in Vancouver.
"He's the only one I can hear
Matthau, 73, and Morgan, 78,
play off each other easily, trading
memories and wisecracks.
"We had a director who un-
derstands the needs of geriatric per-
sonnel Matthau says of Incident
director Delbert Mann, also an in-
dustry veteran who worked with
Matthau in a 1952 production of
Othello.
What needs?
Matthau: "You gotta have a
toilet nearby
Morgan: "Air tank
Matthau: "It can't be too hot,
too cold. Got to have plenty of
orange juice around
Morgan: "Young girls. Walter
likes young girls
"I'm a naughty talker
Matthau says, demurring. "No ac-
tion. Even when I was young, no
action
Then he continues. "A sea-
soned professional like Mann says
'How do you feel?' once in a while.
And he has the intelligence to know
when the take is good
"Sometimes even the first
take says Morgan.
"There are some directors who
cannot believe it can be any good
because they don't understand
what they're doing unless they do
25 takes Matthau concludes.
Co-starring in Incident is
Stephanie Zimbalist. She plays
Judge Bell's estranged, unmarried
daughter Lily, mother of a teen-
age son (Nick Stahl of The Man
Without a Face). The return of the
boy's long-absent father triggers
violence.
Matthau and Morgan have
high praise for their co-stars, in-
cluding the young Stahl. "The boy
was very good says Morgan. "He
was like a grown-up to work with,
the instincts were all right on
The new generation of actors,
in general, is treated less kindly.
"They no longer have any re-
spect or regard or talent for speech

Author
Conroy gives
readers Body
&Soul
(AP)-Frank Conroy has
written a w jnderfully seam-
less, old-fashioned book
about a musical prodigy and
his personal and profes-
sional travails in Body & Soul
(Houghton Mifflin, $24.95).
Somewhat autobio-
graphical from Conroy's
younger days of music ap-
prenticeship, Body & Soul
presents a New York much
like that in F. Scott
Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby
?parries by the rich on Long
Island and life among
Manhattan's elite?andE.L.
Doctorow's World's Fair.
Conroy, who is not pro-
lific but nonetheless has
written the commendable
Midair and Stop-Time, ap-
pears to have exorcised the
ghost of this story from his
literary soul. It is a fine read,
one of the best American
novels to appear in the past
couple of years.
Claude Rawlings is the
star of Body & Soul, plunk-
ing away at his mother's
little piano in their dingy,
walk-up apartment. His
mom is an overweight, hard-
drinking cab driver; his fa-
ther is unknown, thought to
be dead, little talked-about
but certainly the musical
gene donor for Claude.
The preschooler shows
up at a music shop, asking
for sheets of piano music and
books to teach himself. His
progress is amazing, even

Today: Depression or The Blues'
QuestioruI'mfeelingdownand
have lost interest in the things that I
used to enjoy. How do I tell if I've
just got the "blues" or if I'm de-
pressed?
Answer Everyone experiences
unhappy times in their lives. Often,
it is possible to identify a spe-
cific reason for feeling .?
down: relationship
break-up, death, failed r
test. At other times you t? 1 23
may notbe able to point ? Vv??:
to any one incident that
seems to have caused y
these feelings.
If you feel down for only a
week or two, and can pretty well
pinpoint the cause, you're probably
experiencing the 'Islues" and can
expect the situation to improve
rather quickly. However, if you've
felt down for a longer period of
time, or really can't say why you're
down, you may be suffering from
depression.
Depression is a real disorder
that affects your thoughts, feelings,
physical health and behaviors day
after day. About one in 20 Ameri-
cans (over 11 million people) get
depressed ever)' year. Depression
affects twice as many
women as men. The
good news is that de-
pression is often eas-
ily treated, and over
1 80 of people in treat-
ment improve signifi-
cantly in three to four
months.
Symptoms of depression
can include:
Persistent sad or empty mood
Loss of interest or pleasure in
ordinary activities, including sex
Decreased energy, fatigue,
being "slowed down"
Sleepdisrurbances(insomnia,
early-morningwakingoroversleep-
Eating disturbances (loss of
appetite and weight or weight
gains)
Difficulty concentrating, re-
membering, making decisions
Feelings of guilt, worthless-
ness, helplessness
Thoughts of death or sui-
cide or suicide attempts
Irritability
Excessive crying
Chronic aches and pains that
don't respond to treatment
An accurate diagnosis is im-
portant. The Counseling Center,
located in 316 Wright Building,
has free information about symp-
toms and treatments. Also, the
center will be offering a 12-week
therapy group, beginning Feb. 1,
for students dealing with depres-
sion. Call 757-6661 for more infor-
mation or to register for the pro-
gram.

Muzza Chunka
Fishy Pants
mmm
Read through the list of the
Worst Band Names in the History
of Western Civilization, and down
towards the bottom, you'll find
something called Muzza Chunka.
But the fun doesn't stop there with
these guys. Muzza Chunka's major
label debut is called Fishy Pants, a
name that makes me giggle uncon-
trollably every time I hear it spoken
aloud. Foryour reading enjoyment,
I'll be repeating it several times
throughout the review.
Anyway, Fishy Pants is raw,
simple stuff. Muzza Chunka is not
the most accomplished group of
musicians you'll ever hear. Imagine
your brother's garage band with a
recording contract and a few extra
brain cells. But at least they're not
another boring, angst-ridden, "al-
ternative" band, or a bunch of
greedy, retro-hippy poseurs. No,
Fishy Pants features punk rock in all
its seedy grandeur. These boys are
really pissed off about something,
but they can't quite put their finger
on what. The closest they can come
to criticism is hypocrisy, which they
attack with lots of disgusting stuff
about pus and feces.

Roily Gray & Sunfire
Let Your Body Move
?
If you have lived in Green-
ville for a while, you have prob-
ably seen Roily Gray and Sunfire
advertised to play at The Attic or
even last year's Barefoot on the
Mall. You can't really classify them
as a reggae band, because they
run the whole gamut of Carib-
-
bean music, including calypso
(sort of like speedy reggae) and
soca (calypso and funk).
Roily Gray's newest effort is
Let Your Body Move. Most of this
album is traditional reggae, but
there are a few tracks in the lesser
known sister forms of Caribbean
music which help to keep the
monotony away. Calypso tracks
like "I Need Your Love" are
jumpy, high-speed forms that
snap you out of the trance in-
duced bv the heavy bass of
reggae. Steel drums, horn sec-
tions and many layers of percus-
sion on the faster tracks are more
than enjoyable. There is even a
hint of some of the newer forms
of island music on "Song of
Love" which has a dance hall
type rap at the end. These guys
are more fun than a six-foot spice
rack.

The U.S. Postal Service will
be releasing stamps for both oc-
casions to hail the sporting events.
Countries all over the world will
be issuing similar philatelic trib-
utes.
TheCentral American nation
of Nicaragua is honoring the
World Cup with seven new
stamps. Depicted on the Nicara-
guan set are famous players from
participating nations.
Illustrated in action scenes
are: Tomas Brolin of Sweden,

Poland and Antonio Luis Costa
of Brazil, Harold Schumacher of

In answer to many requests
from readers concerning the is-
suance of new U.S. stamps, the
Postal Service affirms that "new
items will not honor cities, towns,
municipalities, counties, primary
schools, hospitals, libraries or
similar institutions due to the vast
number of such requests, because
it would be difficult to single out
any one for commemoration
While many other countries
issue semi-postals (added values)
for worthy causes, again the
Postal Service says "due to the
vast number of worthy fund-rais-
ing organizations in existence, it
would be difficult to single out
specific ones to receive such rev-

NEW YORK (AP) ? If the new
world of 500 channels is as grand as
they sav, one of those channels will
certainlv be The Fontana Channel. All
Fontana. All the time.
But for now, we'll satisfy our-
selves with the season's two remain-
ing episodesof "Homicide: Lifeonthe
Street the superb crime drama for
which Tom Fontana, one of TV's most
gifted off-camera performers, serves
asanexecutiveproducerand a princi-
pal writer.
Airing this Thursday and next at
10p.m. EST on NBC, and starring Ned
Beatty, Richard Belzer and a squad of
other fine actors, "Homicide" is fight-
ing for its life in the ratings. But itcould
still punch its way into next season's
schedule.
Fontana, 42, was the guy who
stewarded this quirky and compel-
ling series through nine episodes last
year and the four that will make up its
sophomore miniseason.

"Who's Barry Levinson?" asked
Fontana a coupleofyearsago,livingin
Manhattan and a little out of touch

"What's Ram Man?" he asked
next.
But when told "Homicide"
would be a cop series without car
chases or gunplay, he said, "I'm in
Maybe you saw Fontana last
fall on the Emmy telecast when he
snagged a best-writing award.
He took that opportunity to
ehampionhourdramas,a form some
predict will fall prey to theonslaught
of cookie-cutter sitcoms and cheap
TV magazines.
"It's not the fault of the Ameri-
can public that the drama is in
trouble Fontana said. "It's us: the
writers, producers, the network ex-
ecutives, the studio money-
crunchers. We have to figure out a
way to reignite the imagination of
the American people
It was a revealing glimpse into
the Fontanan psyche. With no par-
ticular evidence tobolster his faith?
"I've never had a hit he concedes
? Fontana maintains a healthy re-
spect for TV viewers. TV may be
dumb, but viewers aren't.
But why trouble yourself, Tom?
Why?You could dash off a silly sitcom
that would make you a fortune or a
silly cops-and-robbers romp that
would run for years.

Little seems left out in Body &

may be a bit of a stretch, the book
is hard to put down. It resonates
with true-life tales and morality
plays and enough writing verve
that one could easily see it becom-
ing fine fodder for a movie.
Perhaps the only sour note is
that Conroy occasionally tosses out
some obtuse word that clangs in
the copy ? for example, "otiose"

Both men started in theater.
Matthau has appeared in more than
20 plays on Broadway and won
two Tony Awards (for A Shot in the

1966.
Morgan recalled living on

turned to TV, starring in what
may be a record number of series,
including "Dragnet" and
"MASH" (for which he won an
Emmy in 1980).
When talk focuses on past
roles, Morgan offers that he has
played a judge at least once be-

about the famed trial on teaching
evolution.
That triggers a bit of friendly
competition.

ECU sends Stags back home
File Photo
Forward Wilbert Hunter, seen here last year, has worked his way into
this year's starting lineup and has been a physical force for the Pirates.
By Brad Oldham
Staff Writer
The Pirates defeated the Stags
of Fairfield University at Minges
Coliseum on Monday night, 77-65.
In a non-conference game that was
played a bit below the level that
ECU has been showing, it was, nev-
ertheless, still a notch in the win
column for coach EddiePayne and
his team.
The Pirates are now 10-4, a turn-
around from last season, when ECU
didn't reach their 10th win until
February 24.
"We are pleased to get the win,
but not by the way we played to-
night'coachPaynesaid. "Weneed
to be playing better each
game,playing harder, playing
smarter, and just more consistently
each time out
ECU was once again led by
senior guard Lester Lyons, who
scored 17 points in his 100th game
here at ECU. Junior Anton Gill
added 13points,nineof whichcame
in the first half, along with six re-
bounds. Fairfield, which got 51 of
their 65 points from freshmen and
sophomores, were led by guards
Greg Francis, a freshman, and
sophomore reserve MeishayGattis.
The two players scored 15 points
a piece, and combined to hit seven
three-pointers in the game.
The Pirate offense looked in-
side to Gill early and often in the
first half. If Gill didn't hit the soft
jumper, he reversed the ball to the
perimeter for the three-point shot.
ECU had a total of seven three-
point field goals alone in the first
half, with two apiece from Lyons
and freshman Skipp Schaefbauer.
Senior forward Curley Young got
the 4,000-plus crowd behind ECU
at the end of the first half, scoring
five points on both a dunk and a
three-pointer.
Fairfield looked to their fresh-
man in the firsthalf for their scoring.
Francis and forward Shannon Bow-
man each had eight points in the
half. At half-time, it was ECU hold-
ing a 40-27 lead.
The second half started uglyfor
ECU. Fortunately, it started even
worse for the Stags, who failed to
capitalize on numerous Pirate turn-
overs to start off the half.
The Pirates tried to keep their
lead in double digits, but saw it start
to slip away. Senior guard Johnnie
Jones, who scored 12 points on the
night, cut the lead to nine with a
three-pointer at the three minute
mark. Like the true leader that he is,
Lyons took control of the game on
thenextplay, taking theballbaseline
for the bucket and the foul, pushing
the lead back up to 12.
Gattis hit a three with just over
two minutes left to bring the lead
back to nine, but after that Fairfield
was forced to foul, and the Pirates
went on to victory.
Earthquake rattles sports world
(AP) ? The "Big A" sign in-
side the stadium is down. The
scoreboard and giant replay screen
are in ruins.
Anaheim Stadium sustained
about$3.4millionLidamages Mon-
day from the earthquake that
rocked Los Angeles.
The stadium, home of the Cali-
fornia Angels and Los Angeles
Rams, is farther from the quake's
epicenter than most of the Los An-
geles area's stadiums and arenas.
Yet, it was the only one to incur
significant damage.
Bret Colson, an Anaheim city
spokesman, said there will be a big
bill to foot because the insurance
deductible is $6.25 million, mean-
ing the damages will not be cov-
ered.
Anaheim is some 30 miles from
downtown Los Angeles and about
50 miles from where the quake was
centered in Northridge.
The new Anaheim Arena,
about a mile from Anaheim Sta-
dium and home of the NHL's
Mighty Ducks, had no apparent
damage.
"We were able to weather it
very well said John Nicoletti,
spokesman for the arena. "The
building isbuilt structuraliv sound.
Everything is fine
Nearer the epicenter of the
quake, which measured 6.6 on the
Richter scale, were Dodger Sta-
dium, the Los Angeles Coliseum
and Sports Arena, all near down-
town Los Angeles, the Rose Bowl
in Pasadena and the Forum in
Inglewood. All apparently had no
major damage.
The Sacramento Kings-Los
Angeles Lakers game Monday af-
ternoon was postponed because of
the mayhem.
"It's the scariest feeling I'veever
had Sacramento forward
Wayman Tisdale said.
'Two thoughtscame to mind
said Kings coach Garry St. Jean.
"One, is the building going to col-
lapse? Two, what about my fam-
ily?"
At Santa Anita, 20 miles from
Northridge, the special Martin
Luther King Jr. Day racing pro-
gram went on as scheduled and
drew a crowd of 19,001.
JaneGoldstein, director of com-
munications for Santa Anita, said
the track, with a rare Monday rac-
ing date because of the holiday,
sustained "only superficial, cos-
metic-type damage, a little plaster

feels Harding is worthy
(AP)?Bad taste maybe tough
on the rest of us, but the last time
someone thought to check, it still
was not a crime.
A case could be made to charge
Tonya Harding on the first count.
Take your pick of damning evi-
dence: loose lips, an unsavory ex-
husband, chintzy costumes, a lack
of grace, too much mascara. Yet,
the only thing that should matter
to those de-
ciding her
fate is
whether she
can be
charged with
the second.
So far,
that reason-
ing appears
to be hold-
ing. Harding
spent most of
Tuesday in mt
Portland re-
hashing the kneecapping of rival
Nancy Kerrigan wh the local dis-
trict attorney. Meanwhile, the
president of the U.S. Figure Skat-
ing Association was reminding
people Handing's place on the team
was by virtue of being national
champion and not subject to the
whims of a popularity poll.
"It's like taking a public vote
on whether you should hang some-
one for a murder Claire Ferguson
of the USFSA said. "Maybe it
would makeiteasieronthecourts,
but that's not the way we handle
justice in this country
It's like taking a
public vote on
whether you
hang someone
for murder.
Claire Ferguson,
USFSA
Though Ferguson would
never say so, her life would no
doubt go much smoother if
Harding simply surrendered her
spot. There is no doubt that if
Harding did so, life would be easier
for a lot of people.
For starters, there is the U.S.
Olympic Committee, in whose lap
the USFSA could dump this mat-
ter by taking no action against
Harding.

in the wake of

Imagine her surprise on open-
ing the door to her place in Nor-
way and finding Harding in the
bottom bunk, greeting her with a

ine Kerrigan frantically trying to
recall whether the movie Single

In real life, however, Harding
hasn't been proved to be a danger
to anyone but herself. She got her-

Kerrigan will not be slowed
(AP)?Figure skater Nancy
Kerrigan has pronounced herself
determined to compete in the
Olympics after gliding through a
practice session, despite an in-
jury to one knee caused by an
assailant in Detroit.
Her coach predicted
Kerrigan would be performing
jumps and other complicated
moves as early as the end of this
week.
"My confidence wasn't
bruised. That was just my knee
Kerrigan said Monday after smil-
ing her way through a practice
session at a local ice arena. "I
think if the Olympics were to-
night, I'd be able to go out and do
my performance ? although I
might have to sit down at the end
and say, 'Go get the stretcher
Evy Scotvold, Kerrigan's
coach, said he could see determi-
nation in the skater's eyes.
"As a coach, it's that game
face that is really great to see
Cotvold said.
The crime against her, he
said, "really has affected her in a
positive way. She has a great
mindset and amazing confidence
right now
Kerrigan was clubbed in the
right knee at the U.S. Figure Skat-
ing Championships on Jan. 6.
While skating Monday,
Kerrigan showed no visible ef-
fect of the attack. She fell once, a
mishap she later jokingly blamed
on rough ice.

Pirates
looking at
CAA foes
By Brian Olson
Assistant Sports Editor
While it might feel like
it is 50 degrees below out-
side, things are just start-
ing to heat up inside some
Colonial Athletic Associa-
tion gymnasiums.
The Pirates will com-
plete their two game road
trip on Saturday against
Richmond and will come
home to play two confer-
ence games at home next
week against fames Madi-
son on Wednesday and
UNC-Wilmington on Jan.
29.
On Wednesday, the
Bucs(2-1,10-4) were third
in the division trailing
UNC-W (4-0, 10-4) and
James Madison (3-0,9-4).
Wilimington so far seems
like to be the team to beat.
They have been on a roll
and knocked off pre-
season favorite Old
Dominium earlier this
week, while the Pirates
already lost their first
match-up with ODU.
When the Pirates
travel to Richmond, Sat-
urday, they will be facing
a team that has a deceiv-
ing record (1-2,5-9). Ear-
lier this year, the Spiders
lost a one point game to
Villanova and lost by only
six to ACC opponent
Wake Forest.Their confer-
ence win came against
William and Mary and
their losses came to ODU
and American.
The Spiders are being
led by senior forward
Michael Hodges. He is av-
eraging 13.6 points a game
along with 7.4 rebounds a
game. Guard Kass Weaver
will be matched up with
ECU guard Lester Lyons
and should be a good one
to watch. Weaver has the
best shooting percentage
on the team with .524 per-
cent.
If the division unfolds
as it is currently, next
week will be the most criti-
cal for the Pirates if they
expect to have a chance at
the CAA crown. The two
home games could set the
tone for the rest of the sea-
son for ECU. While ODU
is currently only fourth,
you can count on them
being around to battle for
the top spot.
Always keep in
mind that the regualr sea-
son does not always pro-
duce the CAA champ. All
eight teams make the fi-
nal tournament at the end
of the season and that win-
ner will advance on the
NCAA Tournament. Last
season the Pirates finished
seventh during the regu-
lar season and ended up
going on to win the CAA
Tournament in Rich-
mond, Va.

The East Carolinian 12
Owners;
(AP) ? Baseball owners ap-
proved a long-sought revenue-
sharing plan but appeared un-
likely to select a commissioner
before concluding their three-day
meeting yesterday.
A joint session of the search
committee and executive council
adjourned at 2:30 a.m. EST Mon-
day without an announced rec-
ommendation for the
commissioner's job.
The owners planned to recon-
vene, but most thought a decision
today was unlikely. Even if the
seirch committee made a recom-
mendation, most clubs would
have just a few hours to consider
the candidate.
Finalists for the job, vacant
since Fay Vincent's forced depar-
Sullivan
makes switch
(AP)?Former Indianapolis 500
winner and Indy car PPGCupcham-
pion Danny Sullivan, the epitome of
suave sophistication, is apparently
about to become a Good 01' Boy.
Sullivan, who last week lost his
Indy car ride, said Tuesday he ex-
pects todrive five NASCAR Winston
Cup events in 1994, with the hope
that he will have a full-time stock car
ride the following seasoa
The 43-year-old Sullivan con-
firmed rumors of the move while
watching a General Motors test ses-
sion at Daytona International Speed-
way.
Sullivan, a former Formula One
driver who won 17 Indy car races
between 1982 and 1993, including
last year's Detroit Grand Prix, parted
company with Galles Racing last
week after primary sponsor Molson
pulled out.
But Sullivan, known for being
on the cutting edge of fashion and
whomadetheuptumedcollaratrade
mark, said that losing his Indy car
ridewasnotthecatalystforthemove.
"It was back in about October, I
started thinking about maybe we
ought to switch, try our hand at a
differenttvpeofracingseewhathap-
pens. But I don't know what the fu-
ture holds Sullivan said.
Felix Sabates and his Charlotte,
N.C-based Sabco Racing will pro-
videenginesandchassis,run the team
and provide sponsorship.
Sullivansaidhe tentatively plans
to run the early-season races at
?: Rockingham, N.C, and Richmond,
' Va as well as the inaugural Brick-
:? yard400atlndianapolisMotorSpeed-
way in August and the late-season
; races at Charlotte, N.C, and Atlanta.
Sullivan, whose experience in
stock cars is very limited, said he will
go through Buck Baker's driving
school at North Carolina Motor
Speedwaylaterthismonth and could
test a Winston Cup car at Daytona as
early as the first week of February,
. prior to the start of the NASCAR
5j season.
Sullivan left the door to Indy car
racing atleast slightly ajar for 1994, "if
a good ridebecomesavailable add-
ing, "You don't come into people's
backyardsandbeatthematrheirown
game real easily.
'The guysare tough. They know
thecircuit, know all thedrafting tricks.
They've been doing it for umpteen
years, got a lot of experience
itings
ture 16 months ago, are U.S. Olym-
pic Committee executive director
Harvey Schiller and Northwest-
ern University president Arnold
Weber.
Executive council chairman
Bud Selig gave no indication that
he thought a decision was near.
Selig hailed the revenue-shar-
ing agreement as historic and
unique. It passed on a 28-0 vote
but won't take effect unless the
players' union agrees to a salary
cap.
Details of the plan weren't dis-
closed. Teams in larger markets,
such as New York, are expected to
share some of their profits with
teams from smaller markets, such
as Pittsburgh.
"It's something that a year ago
I wouldn't have given you five
cents for Selig said. "I didn't
think it had a chance
"We're united ? for a
change Cincinnati Reds owner
Marge Schott said.
Even owners from large mar-
kets expressed support for the
plan, designed to increase com-
petitive balance.
"I'm not looking glum, am
I?" New York Yankees owner
George Steinbrenner said.
The owners' efforts could be
in vain, however. The plan won't
take effect "until there's a salary
cap, which makes this kind of an
interesting exercise, doesn't it?"
Texas Rangers general partner
George W. Bush said.
The players union opposes a
salary cap. Disagreement over the
issue could lead to a player strike,
most likely late in the season.
'It's interesting the players
have to be an integral part of this,
but the players were excluded '
from the process" that led to ap-
proval of the revenue-sharing
plan, said Donald Fehr, executive
director of the Major League Base-
Iball Players Association.
I Fehr said the players would
accept a salary cap only if owners
can prove it's needed and agree to
share decision-making with the
union.
The players refused to con-
sider a salary cap in 1990 and
owners withdrew their proposal
during a 32-day spring training
lockout.
Capriati puts down racquet
Teen wants to finish school
(AP) ? In the next few
months, teen-ager Jennifer
Capriati will be finishing high
school, nursing her elbow and
going to court to face a petty theft
charge.
But Capriati, the tennis star
who was thurst at an early age
into a bright, and often uncom-
fortable spotlight, has decided to
stay off the courts.
"I think she was forced to
take time off for an injury which
she had most of 1993' her New
York-based agent, Barbara Perry,
told The Associated Press on
Monday. "Having time off the
tour, she decided she wants to
concentrate on school until after
graduation, then come back
Capriati, 17, said she would
quit the pro tour until after gradu-
ation in June from Saddlebrook
High School at Saddlebrook Re-
sort in Wesley Chapel, just out-
side Tampa.
"This isn't a retirement
Perry added. "We don't know
the exact date she'll come back. It
depends on her work load
Since a first-round loss at the
U.S. Open last August, Capriati
has been out of action with bone
chips in her elbow. She has a ca-
reer match record of 149-45 and
earned $1.5 million in prize
money.
The past two years, however,
she has become increasingly more
uncomfortable with her celebrity
status and hinted as early as last
winter she might step away from
the game if the 1993 season mir-
rored the year she had in 1992.
"I need a break from it
Capriati told The New York Times
for a story in Monday's editions.
"It's unfortunate that I had an
injury, especially one that re-
quired such a long recuperation,
but I feel I've made the most of
my break from the tour. And I've
decided I want to concentrate on
finishing my senior year
Among the tournaments the
world's 12th-ranked player will
miss during her sabbatical are the
Australian Open, the Lipton Play-
ers Championships, and tour
stops at Delray Beach and Amelia
Island.
In December, Tampa police
cited her for allegedly shoplift-
ing a ring during a shopping trip
to a mall. Later this month she
will go through arbitration, a
court program for first-time ju-
venile offenders who have ad-
mitted guilt.
Capriati's mother said the
shoplifting allegation may have
been the final element in her deci-
sion to stop playing tennis.
"Before the ring incident, she
was seriously thinking of getting
back to her training and coming
back to play in the spring Denise
Capriati told the Times
Neither Capriati nor her par-
ents could be reached for com-
ment by the AP.
Capriati's father, Stefano,
who worked as his daughter's
manager and coach until last year,
said she is challenging her loved
ones to see how they react to her
if she doesn't play tennis.
"She's not rebelling. I would
not use that strong a word he
told the Times. "She's testing ev-
erybody ? me, her mother, her
friends. And she's testing her-
self, too

January 20, 1994
CBS picks up 1998 winter Olympics
(AP) ? CBS Sports is finally a
winner.
The network, which last month
lost its part of the NFL contract to
the Fox television network, has won
exclusive U.S. television rights to
the 1998 Winter Olympics in
Nagano, Japan.
Sources close to the negotia-
tions told The Associated Press
Tuesday that the winning bid was
about $375 million, a Winter Olym-
pics record.
The New York Times, in today's
editions, reported CBS as having
won the rights, quoting Richard
Pound of Canada, an International
Olympic Committee vice presi-
dent.
It was not known immediately
whether CBS actually outbid Fox
for the Winter Games or whether
the International Olympic Com-
mittee decided to accept a lower
bid from the more established U.S.
network.
A news conference is sched-
uled today in New York, but CBS
would not confirm it was to an-
nounce the bid.
This would be the third straight
Winter Olympics for CBS. The net-
w ork paid $300 million for the next
month's Games in Lillehammer,
Norway, and $243 million for the
1992 Games in Albertville, France.
The previous Winter Games
record was $309 million by ABC
for the 1988 Calgary Games.
In December, CBS lost the N FC
portion of the NFL contract for the
next four years to Fox, which bid
$1.58 billion, or about $100 million
per year more than CBS.
U.S. will bring high hopes to Lillehammer
Taylor does thinss different for hockey
(AP) ? There is cautious opti-
mism for U.S. hockey.
Head coach Tim Taylor of Yale
did things differently this Olympic
preseason. Instead of using NHL,
college and European competitions
as auditions for a stream of players,
he kept essentially the same squad
together, earning strong showings
in exhibition games.
There will be no last-minute
raids of NHL players. Instead, he
will field a team strong on offense,
weaker on defense, with an average
age of 22.
The youth factor and the disap-
pointing decision of center Derek
Plante to stay with the Buffalo Sa-
bres does not daunt Taylor, who
ranks the U.S. team among the top
five competitors.
"We're young and we have to
survive on youthful enthusiasm
Taylor said. "We're going to have
refreshingly excited kids
Beyond figure skating and
hockey lie some potential surprises.
The U.S. luge team is the stron-
gest ever. Wendel Suckow's world
championship last season made him
the first U.S. slider to place in the
top three. Olympic veteran Duncan
Kennedy has medaled in every com-
petition this year. Credit has been
given to a new training facility at
Lake Placid, N.Y.
Cammy Myler, fifth place fin-
isher in the women's competition at
Albertville, will return. Despite
shoulder surgery, she took her third
straight U.S. title last year.
Hopes are even high for the
U.S. bobsled team, which has not
seen a medal in 30 years. Led by
Olympic veteran Brian Shimer, the
four-man team won last season's
World Cup overall four-man com-
petition and a bronze in last year s
world championships. Add to that
a made-in-America sled designed
by race car driver Geoff Bodine.
There is less optimism about
Alpine and Nordic events, given
the usually strong European teams,
particularly the Norwegians with
their home-field advantage.
But there are rays of hope.
Diann Roffe-Steinrotter,
women's giant slalom silver med-
alist in 1992, is returning following
a strong 1992 season and a more
mixed showing this year. Hilary
Lindh, silver medalist in the 1992
women's downhill, is also on the
team, returning after a knee injury
last year.
Look for good things from Julie
ParisienandPicaboStreet;eachwon
silver medals at last year's World
Championships, but have been
struggling this year.
Therearesimilar hopes for men
skiers AJ Kitt and Tommy Moe,
following their strong showings in
last year's World Cup competition.
Expectations are high for the
freestyle skiers. Donna Weinbrecht
is back to defend her 1992 gold
medal in the moguls following a
year of excruciating rehabilitation
from knee surgery. She has come
backstrongwithgoldmedalsather
first two World Cup events.
Teammate Kriste Porter, a
bronze medalist at last yea r's World
Freestyle Ski Championships, hopes
to become the first U.S. woman to
take home a medal in the new aeri-
als event.
The men's aerials team is par-
ticularly strong with World Cup
champion Trace Worthington and
fourth place finisher Kits Feddersen.
And if medals and glory aren't
enough incentive for the Ameri-
cans, how abou t cash? In past Olym -
pics, a good showing would earn a
U.S. athlete $2,500. This year gold
medalists get a $15,000 bonus; a
silver earns $10,000 and a bronze
$7,500. Fourth place garners $5,000.
Moran said any improvement
in the team's performance will have
little to do with cash lures.

Hall adds new members
(AP) ? Georgia athletic di-
rector Vince Dooley, who coached
the Bulldogs to a national title in
1980, was one of two former
coaches named to theCollege Foot-
ball Hall of Fame along with 12
players.
The other coach was the late
John Merritt of Jackson State and
Tennessee State.
Tony Dorsett, the Heisman
Trophy winner from Pittsburgh
whose 6,082 career rushing yards
is the most in NCAA Division I-A,
led the list of players named Mon-
day.
Induction is scheduled for Dec.
6.
Others players chosen by the
National Football Foundation were
Bob Babich of Miami of Ohio, Steve
Eisenhauer of Navy, Larry Elkins
of Baylor, Pete Elliott of Michigan,
Tucker Frederickson of Auburn,
Jerry Groom of Notre Dame, John
Had! of Kansas, Gif ford Nielsen of
Brigham Young, Ozzie
Newsome of Alabama, Marvin
Powell of Southern Cal and
Randy White of Maryland. .
Dooley coached Georgia
from 1964'to 1988, and at the
time of his retirement ranked
third nationally in victories. He
was 201-77-10, leading his team
to six Southeastern Conference
titles and 20 bowl appearanaces
in 25 seasons, including his last
nine.
In 1973, Dorsett became the
first freshman in 29 years to be
named to the All-America team.
He is the only major college run-
ner with three 1,500-yard sea-
sons.
Merritt was at Jackson State
from 1953tol962andTennessee
State for the next 21 seasons be-
fore his death in 1983. His record
was 232-65-11, and he was
named Black Football Coach of
the Year in 1962.

January 20, 1994
The East Carolinian
Olympics in Norway will be unique
Lillehammer may cause headaches
The 1994 Winter Olympic at .i
glance:
WHAT: The 17th WinterOlym-
pic Games. Norwegians call them
"The Compact Games" because alJ
venues are located within 36 miles
of Lillehammer, the main host town
WHEN: 16 days, from Feb. 12-
27,1994.
WHERE: In Lillehammer, an
artist colony and tourist spot of
about 23,000 people, as well as
nearby towns on the shores of
Norway's largest lake, Mjosa, and
the south Norway valley of
Gudbrandsdalen. Lillehammer is
about 1 lOmiles north of the capital,
Oslo, and can be reached by road
and train. Norway, a country of 4.3
million people, claims to be the
cradle of modem skiing and is a
superpower of winter sports, espe-
cially skiing and speedskating.
HOWMANY: About2,000ath-
letes will compete for 115 gold med-
als. Eighty countries, the most ever,
have signed up; fewer will qualify-
by the Jan. 31 deadline. About7,500
news media personnel, 8,000 vol-
unteers, 2,200 police and 140,000
spectators will invade Lillehammer
WHY 1994: Lillehammer had
just two years, rather than the usual
four, after the last Winter Games in
1992 because the International
Olympic Committee decided to
stagger the Summer and Winter
Olympics. Until 1994, the Games
were held the same year, after each
four-vear Olympiad. Now, one or
the other will be held every other
year.
HOW MUCH: Norway,
mostly the national government,
has spent about SI billion on the
Games, not counting $533 million
for roads, utilities and related
projects.
TRAVEL: There is no airport
in Lillehammer. Most visitors will
arrive from Oslo by train or bus.
Roads will be closed to private cars
except late at night and in the early
hours of the morning.
DVANTAGES: Norway is a
winter sports haven.Charming
Norse and Viking theme. Norway
isa safe, clean and efficient country.
Lillehammer isa picture book town,
and the snow conditions have been
excellent after a series of warm and
dry winters
DISADVANTAGES:
Lillehammer is isolated and the trans-
port system will be straining to bnng
about 100,000 people a day into the
region. Norway Ls already very ex-
pensiveand residents fearprice-goug-
ing, endless foof lines, serious traffic
jams, and protests of Norway's com-
mercial whale hunts or its role in
brokeringapeacesettlementbetween
Israel and the Palestine Liberation or-
ganization.

or until someone proves that what
Harding knew and when she knew
it preceded news reports, she de-
serves the chance to do just that.
Just Tuesday night, during a
break in marathon talks with the
D.A Harding released a statement
saying she was cutting ties with ex-
husband Jeff Gillooly, a move that
puts additional space between her-
self and the cast of cartoon charac-
ters implicated in the Kerrigan plot.
If her increasing leverage makes
the USOC poobahs sweat, too bad.
These are the same people who did
nothing other than sweat when
diver Bruce Kimball competed in
the 1988 trials while charged with
drunk driving in a fatal accident. If
they're kicking themselves now for
not tightening up character require-
ments for Team USA, at least no one
can say they weren't warned.

worked with Kerrigan since she

The Vancouver Canucks were
staying at a hotel near downtown
Los Angeles after beating the
Mighty Ducks 4-3 Sunday night.
"I didn't know what it was at
