Ruptured water line leaves some high and dry
By Jason Williams
Assistant News Editor
Water, water everywhere,
but not a drop to drink. Not even
at the hospital. Greenville resi-
dents awoke Tuesday to find low
water pressure and a I looded Me-
morial Drive after a 10-inch wa-
ter main ruptured, threatening
the eitv's water supply.
The pipe broke around 7:15
a.m washing away a section of
Memorial Drive at the intersec-
tion of N.C. Highway 33 and

The United Way and its mem-

"New agencies equal greater

"We didn't tare too badlv
Fortner said. "From our stand-
point at the Med School, it was
metre of an inconvenience
Fort tier said that water pres-
sure for the Brody Building was
low and employees were asked
to conserve water. "We noticed
that the water fountains didn't
have their usual pressure, he
said. "We were also asked not to
flush the toilets or get water from
the water fountains.
"Had it gone on tor much
longer, we would have had a se-
rious problem Fortner said.
"We do have a plan for when the
water shuts down, but fortu-
nately we didn't have to use it
The Medical School was not
the only part of ECU that experi-
enced water problems fuesday.
Low pressure was repotted on
Main Campus, and some build-
ings were without water com-
pletely,
"We had very low pressure
in some of the high-rise dorms,
and also in some of the older
buildings on campus said Ricky
Hill, manager ot the facilities
Service Center.
"We also had a report that
the Whichard Building had no
water at all I lill said. "I can't
viv that it was actually out; it
might have been that it was so
low that someone thought it was
out
Repairs to the water line
were completed by 12 p.m. on
Tuesday, but water pressure was
slow to return to normal levels
Hill said Main Campus was back
to full pressure by 2 p.m. but
pressure in the Medical School
did not return to normal until
Wednesday.
Pitt Memorial Hospital
fared much worse in the ordeal
than most of the city.
Fire trucks shuttled in 1,200
to 2,000 gallons of water at a time
and the Greenville Fire-Rescue
Department pumped 1,000 gal-
lons a minute into the hospital's
water system after it lost all wa-
ter pressure.
Some elective surgery was
affected by the lack of water, but
most other operations in the hos-
pital continued as usual, said Sue
Bizzaro, spokesperson for the
( reenville Utilities Commission.
During the six hours in
which the hospital was shut off
from the city's water supply, it
received an estimated 330,000
gallons ot water. Pitt Memorial
uses an estimated 200 to 300 gal-
lons ot water a minute.

By Tina Chiwona
Staff Writer
"ECU'sSchool ot Business

tinuously credited in the state
of NX at both the graduate
and undergraduate level said
Dr. Robert Schellenberger,
C hair of the Decision Science
department. The oldest School
ot Business is UNC-Chapel 1 lill.
I hesc liool of business has
five departments: Accounting,
Decision Scieni e, Finance, Man-

accounting department has the
largest number ot majors said
Larry Hagler, Chair ot the Ac-
counting department. There are
three types of programs avail-
able in this field. The Bachelor of
Science in Business Administra-
tion (BSBA) is a four-year pro-
gram with a concentration in
management accounting, for stu-
dents who do not intend of re-

such as that of a certified public

I he Bachelor of Science
Master of Science in accounting
(BSAMSA) is a combined five-
year program, and a student re-
ceives both degrees when the re-
quirements ot the program have
been achieved. The third program
is the master of science in ac-
counting (MSA).
The MSA is for students
who received an undergradu-
ate degree in a field other that

said.
Prosecutors seeking the
death penalty for Danny Harold
Rolling, 39, plan to release mas-
sive amounts of previously undis-
closed evidence collected at the
murder scenes.
The evidence includes de-
tails of how Rolling targeted his
female victims, bound them with
tape, raped them, stabbed them
and arranged their bodies in lewd
poses.
Rolling pleaded guilty Tues-
day to five counts of first-degree
murder, and three each of sexual
battery and armed burglary.
He is already serving three
life terms for burglary and rob-
bery, and now faces another life
term or death in the electric chair.
Jury selection for the pen-

Rolling's lawyer, Rick
Parker, said he will argue that his
client was mentally ill when he
killed the students and should not
be executed.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
(AP) � They're pros at traveling
Light. But for this trip � a space
program first � they want to be
prepared.
When astronauts Norman
Thagard and Bonnie Dunbar leave
next week for a year of cosmonaut
training in Russia, they'll be taking
along some of the comforts of home.
For Thagard, 50, a physician
who designs amplifiers in his spare
time, that means a stereo, TV and
VCR.
For Dunbar, 44, a biomedical
engineer, that means a tool kit, bat-
teries, film and � oh yes � instant
oatmeal.
"There are no 7-Eleven stores
over there Dunbar explained
Tuesday.
Thagard and Dunbar are the
first Americans assigned to Russia's
cosmonaut training program. It's
part of thesameagreement that had
RussiancosmonautSergei Krikalev
flying last week on space shuttle
Discovery.
Under the astronaut-cosmo-
naut exchange program, Thagard
will be rocketed into orbit aboard a
Russian Soyuz in March 1995 and
willspend three months on Russia's
space station Mir, conducting
mostly medical experiments.
Dunbar is his backup.
Neither volunteered to go.
NASA asked them, and they hap-
pilv obliged.
"Being the first American to
fly in the Russian program offsets
any disadvantages Thagard said
Tuesday. "Since I'll have my family
there, the thing I would miss most
won't be missing he added.
Only about a dozen or so of
the 100 astronauts expressed a
strong desire to go to Russia; many
were reluctant for family reasons.
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration announced its final
selection on Feb. 3.
The Russian Space Agency is
handling all the arrangements, just
as NASA did for Krikalev and his
backup, Russian cosmonaut
Vladimir Titov, when the two ar-
rived at Johnson Space Center in
Houston in 1992.
Thagard and Dunbar, who
plan to leave Monday, will have
their own furnished apartments
at the cosmonaut quarters in Star
City just outside Moscow. That's
qui te a change from the ear ly 1970s
when the Soviet Union built a
high-security hotel inStarCity for
occasional visits by the three
American astronauts assigned to
the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz docking
mission and their NASA entou-
rage.
Thagard will be joined by
his wife, Rex, a teacher, and their
youngest son, Daniel. 14, as soon
as school is out. Dunbar's hus-
band, astronaut Ronald Sega,
who's just back from space, will
visit as often as he can; they have
no children.
Dunbar anticipates there
will be "a lot of rough edges to
smooth out just because it's a new
program Identifying those
rough edges will be an important
part of their job � four American
astronauts are to follow Thagard
to Mir and up to 10 shuttle-Mir
dockings are planned before the
two countries start building a joint
space station in 1997.
Thagard and Dunbarexpect
language to be their biggest chal-
lenge, even though they have been
studying Russian since 1992.
Living in a country with po-
litical and economic instability
doesn't worry them. Neither does
spending three months in space.
Thagard, a four-time shuttle
flier, has never spent more than
eight days in space at a time.
Dunbar's longest space trip, her
third, lasted 13 days.
"Three months is not so ter-
ribly long Thagard said. "If we
were talking a year, I'd probably
have different thoughts about it

study of decision-making in a
manager's context. "There three
parts to this process said Dr.
Robert Schellenberger, chair of
the Decision Science Department.
"The first part of the pro-
cess is to understand the goals
and objectives of organization,
and specific goals of making any
decision. Secondly, when mak-
ing the decision, look for infor-
mation, arrange the information
so it's meaningful and get the
information statistically and
mathematically. Once that's done,
you're in a position to make a
decision
Schellenberger points out
that the role of Decision Sciences
is not to mak e decisions, but to
aid the decision-maker in mak-
ing the decision. "1 his course is
known as management informa-
tion system (MIS). MIS was pre-
viously called computer informa-
tion system, and is an under-
graduate program with approxi-
mately 80 juniors and seniors
Schellenberger said.
Production management is
another undergraduate program,
and it is an application of deci-
sion-making tools and under-
standing of a manufacturing en-
vironment. This used to be an
area in the management depart-
ment, and as Schellenberger said,
"We shifted in hope of increas-

Banking, real estate and co-

offered in the department of fi-

Dr. Edward Wheatley, Chair
of the Marketing department ad-
vises students in the field to come
to the department and talk about
their major, and recommends that
thev take the first marketing course
(MKTG 3832).
"The reason 1 say that is that
the field is so broad, and this course
is very useful as students can lea rn
what interests and aptitudes they
have in marketing Wheatley
said.
There are about 175 majors
in marketing and about 80 percent
study marketing management.
This gives the student an ex-
tremely broad perspective in mar-
keting. The other 20 percent study
retail management.
"This is ideal for students
who come from a family business
or those who want to work in a
chain store or specialty store
Wheatley said.
Student activities in market-
ing include the award winning
collegiate chapter of the Ameri-
can Marketing Association

tion, operated by students. AMA
allows students to interact with
other student majors, faculty and

Warmer weather ushers in animal neglect j
The defintion given in The American
Heritage Dictionary for "pet" is "an animal
kept for amusement or companionship
Obviously, the editors of this most illustri-
ous dictionary hold the same unfortunate
view of pets as the growing number of ECU
students with pets hold.
To own a pet is an interesting concept.
As the supposed "highest" member of the
animal kingdom, humans hold the Puritan
thought that God gave us the power to rule
over all the beasts on land and in the sea.
And while it is true that we are reasoning
creatures and have the ability to hold that
position in the universe, we certainly don't
have the right to abuse that privilege. In the
vyords of Stan Lee, "With great power comes
great responsibility
When someone aquires an animal �
whether as a gift from someone or for your-
self � they aquire along with the furry
little beast a sort of contract for the remain-
der of the animal's life. The owner is the
guardian, the sole provider and the com-
panion for the animal. It's not just a play-
thing when it's convenient � in fact � it's
very much like a child.
Animals should never be bought, sold
or kept for entertainment purposes. If that
is your intent when you stand with your
face pressed up against the window of the
pet store, gazing into a puppy's sad little
take-me-home-with-you eyes, then you
should be bodily dragged from the pre-
-mises and barred from ever stepping foot
in any pet store, animal shelter, puppy farm
or pound again. Rent Lassie Comes Home or
Beethoven if you're that irresponsible �
people with bad attitudes deserve to watch
bad movies.
This all comes down to one point. Un-
doubtedly, with the onset of decent weather,
you have noticed unleashed dogs on your
way to class. They wander free, sticking their
noses in your food as you sit at Student
Stores and follow behind you as you walk
out of the library.
To dispel the argument that someone is
sure to bring up about dogs loving to be
outside unleashed, consider when other fac-
tors are figured in: The animal could get
stolen, run-over, shot at (don't laugh, it's
happened), hurt, lost or just plain hungry
and thirsty.
Now ask yourself, is that really fair to
the animal? Would you do that to your child?
Of course not. And while animals enjoy ihe
freedom, their owners must realize that they
are met with situations that may harm them.
So what's the solution to these neglected
dogs? Should there be a regular round-up of
all such animals, wherein they would be taken
to the pound and their owners notified
(maybe even fined), or should an area be set
up where they could be "lodged" during the
time students are in class? Maybe ECU could
set aside space in the mall area like many
parks have, with water dishes and plenty of
room to run.
With that idea, we are met with the chal-
lenge of who will watch the animals, what if
they don't get along, etc. And to that, we suggest
that if you have taken on the responsibility (a
very important word here, folks) of a pet, then it
is your responsibility to provide the necessary
home for said animal to roam while you are in
class.
Ma.ybe now these dog owners will look
into the little concept called responsibility
and stop leaving their pets for everyone else
to take care of while they're in class. Believe
that if the dog could, it would thank you for it.
By John P. Adams
Advertisements lie about worthless products
Walking to class the last
couple of days 1 couldn't help
but notice a banner hanging
between two trees across from
the library. I'm sure you've
seen it too. It's hard to miss.
The banner reads, "Enjoy
Qoca-Cola ���������
billboards advertising every-
thing from douche to fabric soft-
ener. It might look something
like the final scene from Terry
Gilliam's brilliant movie Brazil.
I think this could be what
puts ECU on the map. They
MMMHMHMB could make
Classic. Value

snackbars. In-
troductory

bottles 69

At first,
in my haste to
"get to class, I hardly noticed
this seemingly innocuous ban-
ner. However, the more I
passed it, the more it started to
irritate me.
Are we not inundated
with advertising enough in
our day-to-day existence that
we need to be subjected to ban-
ners hung between trees ad-
vertising Coca-Cola, the
mothership of commercialism ?
� Who is responsible for
this trash? The university?
Some marketing representa-
tive for Coca-Cola? Some peon
manager fiom the campus
snackbar? Who? Identify thy-
self. Stand up so we can ap-
plaud your capitalist cunning.
Hey, why stop at banners
in trees? Maybe we could lami-
nate desk tops with advertise-
ments. Maybe we could put
ads on lunch trays in the caf-
eteria. I know! We could line
the sidewalks with miniature

some slick
little promo-
tional video
like the ones
they show
on televi-
sion during
halftime of
college
sporting
events.
They could come up with a
catchy slogan like, "ECU, edu-
cating tomorrow's consumers
today" or, "ECU, leading
America's universities into the
21st century of campus adver-
tising Nice, eh?
Maybe I'm getting a little
carried away. It's just a little
banner. The fraternities and so-
rorities hang their crude, dis-
tasteful banners from the trees
at the beginning of every se-
mester and no one seems to care.
So, why should I care about
some paltry Coca-Cola adver-
tisement?
The difference is simple.
While the Greeks are doing us
all a service by recruiting the
puerile automatons of our es-
teemed university into their
cliques, the Coca-Cola adver-
tisement is trying to dupe us
into believing that for 69 cents,
we can obtain all the benefits
Coca-Cola has to offer.
Benefits which include caf-
feine addiction. Caffeine hap-
pens to be one of the most ad-
dictive substances known to
man. If you don't believe me
and drink Coca-Cola on a regu-
lar basis, try quitting for a few
days. You may get light-headed,
experience headaches and be-
come quite obstinate. Caffeine
also dehydrates the body. Have
you ever noticed that no matter
how much Coca-Cola you drink,
your thirst is never satisfied?
What's really outrageous
is that the banner insinuates that
a 20 oz. Coca-Cola for 69 cents is
a bargain. For 69 cents you could
go to the grocery store and get a
2-litre of some generic brand.
The total cost for producing that
one 20 oz. Coca-Cola is prob-
ably around 5 cents! Most of that
5 cents being for the plastic
bottle.
The point is that advertis-
ing is a lie, or, as Edward S.
Herman wrote, "Advertising is
value creation Taking some-
thing worthless and making it
important to us is what adver-
tisements try to do, but we all
know this.
The danger of advertising
is its continuous lying, which, if
unchecked, begins to seem like
the truth. In our society what
you say is not as important as
how often you iay it.
Whoever put that banner
up, I think you should take it
down. We all pay a lot of money
to go to this school, and I think
we should be able to walk across
the campus without having ad-
vertisements thrown in ou r face
By Laura Wright
Piggish pet owners put pooches in a pinch
Last semester I wrote an ar-
ticle about college students and
their responsibilities as pet own-
ers. In case you don't remember
the column, let me refresh your
memory with a few of my key
points.
First of all, college students
are transients. Our stay here is
temporary and we don't know
where we may be after we gradu-
ate. 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 at your next
destination.
Second, animals need to be
outside some of the time; they need
to get exercise and they need fresh
air. At the other end of the spec-
trum, 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.
And finally, baby animals
grow up and become less cute. If
they are unwanted, they may be
abandoned.
1 bring all of this back up
again because I have become the
somewhat reluctant and hopefully
temporary owner of one white
stray cat whom I refer to with
immense affection as "Expense I
found said cat wandering around
outside of the library last Satur-
day and I couldn't leave him there.
After much contemplative agony,
I decided to take the kitty to my
apartment in spite of the fact that
I am not allowed to have pets and
will most likely get evicted if Ex-
pense is discovered.
I have placed ads in newspa-
pers, made flyers and basically
hounded all of my friends, neigh-
bors and colleagues in the hopes
that I will be able to find a home
for my wayward friend. So far, no
luck. I did receive one call from a
nice person�let's call her Beth�
who told me that she knew the
previous owner of the cat (my fly-
ers had photos). Apparently,
Expense's previous owner outed
him and Beth looked after him for
a while but unfortunately she is
not allowed to have pets where
she lives either.
So I'm stuck because, basi-
cally, I'm a nice person who can't
leave well enough alone. Butdon't
get me wrong; I really like this cat
and, if circumstances were differ-
ent, I would keep him. He hasn't
been too much trouble either aside
from the fact that he set my house
on fire the other night but that's
another story.
OK, I'll tell it.
I put a foam rubber-filled
pillow on the window sill to keep
the cat from perching in the win-
dow and perhaps being seen by
my landlord. The cat, while I was
sleeping, knocked the pillow off
the sill and on to the radiator. Tech-
nicallv, it wasn't his fault. The
poor thing nearly died before I
woke up. In case you're won-
dering, we are both fine now.
My apartment, on the other
hand, is basically uninhabitible
and my smoke alarms don't
work.
Just an aside: Check the
batteries in your smoke alarms.
You never know when you
might nearly kill a cat because
they aren't functioning prop-
erly.
So what I'm saying is that
I can't keep this cat. It's not fair
to either one of us but I know
that there has got to be some-
one out there who would be
good to this creature. He'sbeau-
tiful: solid white�only slightly
smoke stained � with big blue
eyes. I took him to the vet after
the fire incident and he was
given a clean bill of health. And
he is a true sweetheart and re-
ally starved for affection.
If you want to take him off
of my hands, please give me a
call. I can be reached at 757-
6366 or 757-4282, or you can
leave a message for me and I'll
call you back. I'll throw in a bag
of litter, some cat chow and a
small litter box.
Do I sound like an adver-
tisement? Well, if you take him,
you can even rename him free
of charge. I don't think that he'll
notice.
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the article in the Feb.
10th paper, "Health Services May Need Some First
Aid I agreed with your article in that the services it
provides are not only sufficient but superior for the
cost imposed to the students. However, I would like to
address another issue regarding Student Health Ser-
vices.
I am a senior this year and am prepared to
graduate this May. To this day, I have still never
received a kind, word, a smile or a simple "thank you"
from any office employee in Health Services. Don't get
me wrong, the nurses, nurse practitioners and doctors
have all been extremely pleasant but the receptionist,
appointment secretary, pharmacy employees, and
my personal favority, the cashier, have been nothing
short of rude. I hate to point the finger at any indi-
vidual but, every single time 1 have been to Student
Health Services to pay a bill, the cashier is not in her
office but instead down the hall laughing and talking,
late returning from her lunch hour, at the vending
machines or on several occasions, eating cake or some
other dessert that she brings up from some room in the
back. By the time she decides to serve the people who
pay her salary, a line is backed up into the waiting
room which makes everyone late for class. Correct me
if I'm wrong but isn't she there for our convenience
and disposal? Speaking of disposal, maybe there
should be mention of hers in the next Health Ser-
vices meeting
She has never granted me the respect of simple
eye contact or responded to my questions with
answers and, most frequently, she has left me
waiting in line while she accepted a personal phone
call and remained on the line for ten minutes. She
has a disrespectful, rude, bitter and arrogant disre-
gard for the students (a.k.a her employer) and
while I'm at it, does she or does she not realize that
she is obligated to an eight hour work day just like
everybody else? Maybe someone needs to inform
her that she is not excluded from the concept of "a
full day's work for a full day's pay And because
I, along with other paying students at this school,
have a legitimate interest in how money is allo-
cated. I motion to suggest time cards for employees
who insist on "riding the clock
I have never written a letter to any public
media source before because, believe me, it takes
time I desparately need, however I feel very strongly
about this and feel I have right to this opinion after
four years of inconvenience and disregard.

To the Editor:
Jones has switched parties, districts in which
he is campaigning, religions, his opinion on issues. He
was for affirmative action, but now denies it to try and
fool us conservatives. He talks about family values, but
used to run a liquor store. He received PAC money after
his father passed away back in the summer of 1992. You
see, a congress person can receive PAC money if he or she
retires or dies. He did vote for the voting districts hoping
this would help him win in the first district. As a Repub-
lican, I am very disAppointed with the Republican
partv. Is not there anyone in the third district who
could run besides Mr. Jones?
I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I actually
agree witha Democrat. Mr. Blue, my hats off to you for
unveiling the truth to average Joes like myself. I usu-
ally vote for Republicans, but this time I will be voting
for a Democrat. By the way, I heard Waffle House is
serving signature Walter B. Jones, Jr. waffles, since he
likes to waffle on the issues.

Poets and Kings shows Monday at Mendenhall. There will be two
showings, at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m Dinner will be served at 6:15 p.m
Staff Writer
The Department of Uni-
versity Unions in conjunction
with the Department of Dining
Services offers you a chance to
see and taste the world. The 1993-
1994 Travel-Adventure Film Se-
ries gives you a chance to see a
film on a foreign country, the
people of that country and the
regional curiosities that are
unique to that area. Dining Ser-
vices enhance the film with a
theme dinner that features cui-
sine of each region visited.
The response to last
year's season was so great that
this year they have booked two
showings of each film�a mati-
nee at 4:00 p.m. and an evening
show at 8:00 p.m Dinner is
served at 6:15 p.m which makes
it convenient for both afternoon
and evening audiences. The meal
will feature some delicious cul-
tural cuisine and the chef will
even share some of the secrets to
preparing a featured item.
This Monday, Feb. 21, the
film will be Ireland�Poets and
Kings. You will get to meet the
Irish people as the film takes you
through peat bogs, the Burrin be-
decked in wildflowers, the dra-
matic cliffs of Moher and rocky
Connemara. Meet the Irish Kings
in the Boyne valley and travel
south of County Wicklow where
the beautiful Glendalough in-
spired Thomas Moore and St.
Kevin, poet of the church. Abbey
ruins, castles, neighborhoods and
uniquely Irish traditions will be
explored in this general audience
film.
This film is a product of
Lynn and Julie Bramkamp who
have been making and showing
travelogues since the early '80s.
The Bramkamps have been inter-
ested in history and the way
people live. Their travel films
and lectures reflect these inter-
ests.
The film will be shown at
Mendenhall Student Center in
Hendrix theatre. Tickets are $4
for all patrons, ECU students are
free with ID and group rates are
available.
For more information, con-
tact the Central Ticket Office in
Mendenhall Student Center or
call 757- 7788, or toll-free at 1-
800-ECU-ARTS, 8:30 a.m6:30
p.m MonFri This is a unique
chance to see some foreign cul-
tures and get a delicious cultural
dinner for much less than a plane
ticket.

BaldwinBasinger movie provides getaway

Staff Writer
One of the many factors that
makes cinema so likeable is the
variety of options available to a
student of film to build a cinematic
literacy. So many different strings
can be followed from one film to
another.
For example, TJie Getaway stars
Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. I
liked the film so much that I looked
up all the other films both stars
have made and now want to see
more of them. I also liked the way

As I read recent press about
The Getaway I learned that the film
is a remake of a 1972 film starring
Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw.
I liked the newest film so much
that I decided to see the original.
The strings I could follow from
that film include the other films of
the two leads or perhaps other film
of director Sam Peckinpah. The
original screenplay of The Getaway
was written by Walter Hill who
later went on to direct The Outsid-
ers, 48 Hours, and most recently
Geronimo.
The Getaway is a fast-paced,
action-packed, witty, engrossing
crime story and leaves one realiz-
ing that the feelings elicited by the
film could have be gotten in no
other medium�not books, not
music not theater.
Tlie Getaway starts with Carter
"Doc" McCoy (Alec Baldwin) tar-
geting shooting with his wife Carol
(Kim Basinger). The love that Doc
and Carol feel for each, becomes
evident in the opening scene. When
Doc ends up in a Mexican prison
only a few days later, the audience
understands that Carol will do any-
thing to get her husband free, even
sleep with a shifty lawyer named
Jack Benyon (James Woods) who
can help free Doc.
Benyon wants Doc's help to
rob a racetrack once he gets free.
But Benyon also wants to spend
time with Carol before Doc is re-
leased. When Doc later learns what
Carol had to do to free him his
temper flares and tension rises be-
tween them.
Doc and Carol also have to
contend with a two-bit hood named
Rudy (Michael Madsen) who
wants to kill Doc. Rudy kidnaps a
veterinarian and his dim-witted
wife Fran (Jennifer Tilly). Fran takes
a liking to Rudy to the grave dis-
pleasure of her husband.
All this tension on screen oc-
curs during an extended chase
across Texas toward the Mexican
border where Doc and Carol hope
to make their getaway.

Hips and Makers
� 0
From the edgy, electric sound
of the Throwing Muses, Kristin
Hersh finally steps forward and
stands alone with her newly re-
leased album, Hips and Makers. Sur-
prisingly, the entire album is acous-
tic, although certain guitar riffs are
vaguely reminiscent of older
Throwing Muses songs.
Most of the songs on Hips and
Makers are excellent, filled with in-
trospective lyrics that Hersh' s voice
carries into the soul of the listener.
"Your Ghost a song Hersh sings
with Michael Stipe from R.E.M is
especially beautiful. Their voices
blend to create a hauntingly emo-
tional effect that sends chills down
one's spine. This song, which de-
buted on MTV's "120 Minutes"
three weeks ago, is reason enough
to purchase the album. However,
This is not the only great song on the
album. " Teeth" and "A Loon" are
aiso excellent. Hersh's voice and
her skillful guitar playing combine
to create music that is both power-
ful and exciting. However, a few
songs don't quite meet the high
standard set by "Your Ghost" and
others.
Two of these lesser songs are
"Beestung" and "Hips and Mak-
ers These songs simply don't seem
to fit in with the rest of the album.
Although the lyrics are still flowing
and poetic, the accompanying
music is disappointing. "Beestung
for example, has elementary and
redundant piano accompaniment
that makes the song seem long
and boring. "Hips and Makers
also with poor accompaniment,
is performed on guitar and has an
entirely different sound than
"Beestung The notes played are
short and choppy and, although
it is rythnuc, the music does not
seem to suit Hersh's voice or her
lyrics. Fortunately, these songs are
few in number, and the rest of the
album is well written and per-
formed.
As a whole, Hersh's album
displays her knowledge of music
with its variety and her talent as
lyricist with phrases like, "you're
so tall its like climbing a water-
fall Her words are both pictur-
esque and original, her music is
touching. If you enjoy the passion
and energy of the Throwing
Muses, this album is worth a try.

five-month battle againstQVC Net-
work for Paramount Communica-
tions Inc the entertainment con-
cern that has been the focus of the
most fiercely fought takeover con-
test in years.
Viacom Inc the owner of
MTV, Showtime and other cable
channels, said nearly 91.7 million
Paramount shares, or about 74.6
� percent of the total, were tendered
as of midnight under terms of its
nearly S10 billion cash and stock
buyout offer.
That was well above the
50.1 percent required for Viacom
to gain control of Paramount, which
owns a movie studio, Simon &
Schuster books, Madison Square
Garden and the New York Knicks
basketball and Ranger hockey
teams.
There was no immediate
comment on the Viacom announce-
ment from either QVC or Para-
mount.
Under bidding rules it
agreed on with Paramount and
QVC, Viacom said QVC would be
required to terminate its offer.
Viacom was ottering SI07
a share in cash for 50.1 percent of
Paramount's shares, and securities
tor the remainder. QVC had of-
fered SHU a share in cash for 50.1
percent of Paramount stock, and
securities for the rest.
Viacom and Paramount
signed an $8.2 billion merger deal
in September, but QVC made a
counteroffer for Paramount shortly
afterward, touching off the bid-
ding war.
In the end, Viacom wound
up sweetening its initial bid by
nearly S2 billion.
The contest featured two
charismatic leaders, the billionaire
Sumner Redstone of Viacom
against former Paramount Pictures
boss Bam Diller of QVC, and at-
tracted well-known media and tele-
phone companies into the fray.
The battle came to stand as
a symbol of the high stakes involved
as technology promises to trans-
form how entertainment, informa-
tion and services are delivered to
consumers.
Paramount is believed to
be the last major studio that will
come available anytime soon.
Viacom and QVC each argued they
would make the better partner.
Redstone said the deal was
part of Viacom's ambition to "cre-
ate a global media powerhouse of
unparallelled proportions in theen-
tertainment industry Viacom has
a separatedeal to merge with Block-
buster Entertainment Corp the
nation's biggest video retailer.
QVC Network, based in
West Chester, Pa operates a home
shoppingchannel and Diller hoped
to use that company's expertise in
dealing directly with customers in
developing a broad-based multi-
media company.
Why so much violence on TV?
LOS ANGELES (AP) � More
violence is coming to television. But
the networks sav they're frying to
examine the issue, not exploit it.
In news specials, movies, series
�both dramas and comedies�and
publicsendce messages,TV networks
are holding a crime-battered America
up to the light.
CyTiicscallitanobviousattempt
to blunt criticism of television's own
violent instincts and to derail efforts
to legislate TV gore. Others say the
networksareonlyaddingtotheemo-
tional overload felt by many.
ButexecurJvesatarecentgather-
ing of the Television Critics Associa-
tion said the programs are justified
and their motives pure.
' T think v iolence is such an over-
whelmingly important topic and is-
sue facing America that I don't think
we come anywhere dose to having
done enough said CBS News Presi-
dent Eric Ober.
"We at Fox Broadcasting are try-
ing to be part of the solution to the
problem said its chairman, Lucie
Salhany. "We're not going to simply
avoid dealing with violent issues, as
some critics propose. I believe we
have to deal with problems in order
to solve them
Ober announced a three-hour
"CBS Reports" news special on vio-
lence, a documentary by filmmakers
Paul and Holly Fine that is scheduled
to air later this year.
The prime-time special is not in-
tended simply to rehash the alarming
rise in crime, he said; the goal is to
examine trie impact on individuals
and find answers.
"Reporting on violence is half
the story Ober said. "I think that
looking for solutions to it is the story
that will help culturally

"Picket Fences" offered a recent epi-
sode that showed how theeasy avail-
ability of firearms can have a tragic
impact on children.

Special
"Kids Killing Kids" will offer a
series of vignettes of children in
trouble, such as a suicidal teen-ager
or a youth who wants a weapon
because of gang harassment.
The program will offer two reso-
lutions of each problem, one involv-
ing violence and the other a rtonvio-
lentaltemative.Abroadcastdatewas
not announced.
Salhanv said Fox will join with
CBS in airing the program in a rare
network teaming. The networks also
are sponsoring formation of a na-
tional coalitionagaiast violence, link-
ing broadcasters with community
groups, she said.
Fox'santi-violenceeffortextends
through its regular programming,
Salhany noted. A recent episode of
the si tcom Roc' 'add ressed the issue
of black-on-black violence, while
"Beverly Hills, 90210" took on date
rape and the dangers of handguns.
A series of public service an-
nouncements also is airing on Fox.
One features "Roc" star Charles S.
Dutton, who turned his life around
after serving time in Maryland for a
manslaughter conviction.
"These are our own kids killing
each other an impassioned Dutton
says in the spot, standing among a
roomful of black youngsters. "Our

NBC's weeklong effort in Janu-
ary to highlight anti-violence themes
included news program segments
examining the roots of violence and
focusing on people and programs
working to solve the problem.
Thesitcom "Empty Nest" focused
on the dangers of children and guns,
and 20 public service spots focusing
on violence prevention were sched-
uled.

violence from actor-director Edward
JamesOlmos, whoproduced thepro-
gram and serves as narrator.
ABC President Robert Iger,
whose network had aired several
news specials on various aspects of
violence, said TV has the responsibil-
ity to probe the issue.
"We have tremendous power.
What we should be doing now is not
focusing on.now many acts of vio-
lence are on our airwaves. What we
should be doing is somehow or an-
other harnessing thatpower" to solve
the problem of real violence, he said.
One vocal critic of TV violence is
unimpressed by the networks' show
of social responsibility. William
Abbott, president of the Boston-based
Foundation To Improve Television,
said he's sure they'll try to use such
efforts to their advantage.
"Every time you go after them

he said. "Somehow, they feel if they
put on a program like this, it excul-
pates them tocontinueproducingthe

An hour of analysis doesn't ne-
gate bloody made-for-TV movies, he
said, or the unchecked violence of
syndicated or cable programming that
is separate from network broadcast-
ing.

ber are believed to have been cap-

owners or killed in exchange for
bounty.
The idea for "Race to Free-
dom" was born out of frustration,
says Reid, whose IV series credits
include "WKRP in Cincinnati
"Snoops" and the critically ac-
claimed "Frank's Place
"Roughly eight years ago, I
got fed up with watching the gar-
bage 1 saw portrayed as the culture
of my people on television and said,
'I've got to do something about this
" Reid said.
"So I started doing research
to find concepts and projects, things
I wanted to do. This (movie) was
one of them, 'Frank's Place' was
one, 'Snoops' was one. I just de-
cided to try to come up with differ-
ent images
The Emmv Award-win-

ning "Frank's Place" starred Reid
as a New England professor who
inherits a New Orleans eatery. In
"Snoops he and wife Daphne
Maxwell Reid played sophisti-
cated amateur sleuths.
(Reid is costarring with
Jackee Harry in an upcoming ABC
sitcom, "Sister, Sister He's taken
off his producer's mantle for the
series, which he describes as
"good, old-fashioned family fun)
All the actors do an incredible
job in this fine film. Alec Baldwin
has managed to make his cockiness
sexy. He has developed into a fine
actor of smug self-assurance who
can dominate a film. With Malice
and now The Getaway he seems
poised at the brink of super-star-
dom that eluded him after The Hunt
for Red October.
Kim Basinger (Baldwin's
offscreen wife) can make me cringe
but in The Getaway she manages to
seem sexy and smart at the same
time. She may wind up benefitting
from her refusal to make Boxing
Helena because The Getaway opened
well during its first weekend while
last year the former film bombed.
Basinger lacks Baldwin's charisma
but together their chemistry works
well.
Michael Madsen seems ready
to fashion a career out of despi-
cable scum He provides as fright-
ening a menace in The Getaway as
he did in The Reservoir Dogs. In the
latter film, he managed to leave an
indelible mark amidst a bevy of
top-notch performances.
The Getaway provides first-rate
entertainment. The love between
Doc and Carol provides a striking
contrast to their lifeof crime. A film
capableof making two thieves seem
so likeable deserves praise Doc and
Carol may be outlaws, but the au-
dience cheers for them to make it to
Mexico.
The action in The Getaway pro-
pels the film. Many great scenes
including one in a garbage truck
and one on a train will leave audi-
ences breathless. Donaldson con-
ducts the action scenes with obvi-
ous skill.
The Getaway is just that. Spend-
ing a night with this film provides
a great getaway from the rigors of
daily living. It also provides sev-
eral strings to follow on the road to
cinematic literacy.
On a scale of one to 10, The
Getaway rates a seven.

Orr suffers second fatality in Daytona
(AP) � People in the town
where Rodney Orr helped get his
start in racing are mourning fol-
lowing his fatal crash at Daytona
International Speedway.
Orr's Ford Thunderbird went
out of control Monday and flipped
in turn two on the high-banked
2.5-mile oval. His car smashed into
the concrete wall at the top of the
banking, the roof over the driver's
side of the car taking the initial
impact.
Orr lived in Florida, but he
kept close ties to Robbinsville in
Graham County, where he visited
family and friends frequently.
Fie had racing sponsors in the
town of 750 people, displayed his
Dash cars at a local service station
and showcased his new Winston
Cup Ford Thunderbird there
shortly after Christmas.
"Most all the sports fans in
town and his friends tried to keep
up with his racing career
Robbinsville Mayor Bishop Holder
told the Asheville Citizen-Times.
Orr, 31, the defending Goody's
Dash (4-cylinder) series champion,
had hoped to enter his first Win-
ston Cup race Sunday in the
Daytona 500. He was one of only
seven drivers who had been above
190 mph in practice runs.
He was the second person to
dieat Daytona in 1994. Neil Borinett
was killed in a one-car crash at
Davtona's rum four on Friday.
His mother, Jane Collis, who
operates a Robbinsville beauty
shop, was at work when the news
of Orr's death broke, said friend
Kevin Brooks.
The Brooks family Exxon ser-
vice station helped sponsor Orr's
career from his 1991 Dash start.
Brooks said the service station
took up a collection to help Orr's
career, raising $8,000 to 510,000.
"We bought his tires, that kind
of thing Brooks said.
Brooks' father, Bobby, was in
Davtona Monday when Orr was
killed. He had brought Orr sup-
plies for the race.
Brooks said Orr got his start
racing motorcycles.
"After getting banged up some
he decided he'd try his luck at cars.
He was a competitive person. He

Harding getting ready for 'hammer time'
(AP) � Tonya Harding hit the
grouiid in Norway Tuesday and
headed for the Lillehammer Winter
Games,completinga trip of triumph
that seemed all but impossible a
week ago.
She was whisked away in a
blue van and headed for Hamar,
where she will live, practice and
compete with Nancy Kerrigan.
Asked as she changed planes
in Copenhagen if she was confi-
dent, Harding replied, "Yes
"I'm very excited she said,
"I'm very excited to be here. I'm

nary journey. She was on her way to
the Lillehammer Games, and that
alone was a victory.

Thev will skate competitively
against each other Feb. 23, the first
night of women's figure skating.
There was a time when that
Olympic showdown seemed un-
likelv for the 23-year-old national
champions who left a ton of trouble
behind in Portland, Ore troubles
that will still be there when she
returns.
It took a $25 million lawsuit
against the U.S. Olympic Commit-
tee to ensure that Harding would
be skating in Norway. Before she
filed the suit, the USOC had sched-
uled a hearing in Oslo to consider
her role in the attack on Kerrigan.
That hearing could have resulted in
her expulsion from the U.S. Olym-
pic team.
But, in a deal cut-Saturday, the
USOC canceled the hearing and
Harding dropped the lawsuit.

The loss was especially heart-

followed a 28-point loss to an Au-
burn team that hadn't won an SEC

Jordan a big hit with media
from all over world in baseball
(AP)�Michael Jordan needed
to get avva v horn all this four months
ago when he retired from basket-
ball. No cameras, no recorders, no
questions.
Just tee times and quality time
with his family.
But Tuesday, for the second
time in eight days, he put his base-
ball skills on display and about 250
media members, some from as far
away as England, France and Ja-
pan, were there to analyze his every
move and twitch.
Smiling and looking at ease in
the warm sun, Jordan didn't ex-
actly put on a hitting display during
several turns in thebattingcage. He
met the ball, butnotwithmuch pop
against batting practice pitching.
Next week he'll be facing real major
league hurlers.
"Look at the people, look at the
media. Imagine the pressure said
one big Jordan fan, Chuck Black,
who along with a dozen other fol-
lowers was lying on his stomach
behind the left field fence, trying to
peer in under a billboard and catch
a glimpse of the White Sox' rookie,
No. 45. The general public wasn't
allowed into Ed Smith Stadium on
Tuesday.
VictorCarranza,sportingaNo.
23 Chicago Bulls ha t inscribed "The
single greatest player of all time
was more than willing to get dirty
to see Jordan run the bases, shag
flies, take grounders and makepegs
to the infield � even if his view
under the fence was lLnited.
"He's the greatest athlete in
the world. We're diehards said
Carranza.
"Yeah, we're lying in the dirt.
It's electrifying. He's not even a
baseball player, he's a basketball
player added Black.
Ryan Sherman, 15, decided
to miss some school, hoping to
get a Jordan autograph on either
a copy of the pictorial "Rare Air"
or on a baseball he had shoved in
his right pocket.
Another man held a basket-
ball when Jordan zipped past
onlookers into the parking lot in
his red Corvette. A young girl
held up a sign 'Hey Mike, Please
Sign Other waded through
bushes covering the fence near
the team headquarters, hoping
to catch a glimpse of one of the
most popular sports figure in the
world.
"He's seen the book three
times. 1 don'tknow why he hasn't
stopped. He stopped for one of
my friends Sherman said hope-
fully.
Jordan did sign last week, a
minor league contract with the
White Sox's Class AAA affiliate
atNashville. And managerGene
Lamont said Tuesday that Jor-
dan would probably play in the
team's March 3 intrasquad game,
one day before the exhibition
opener.
