Two North Carolinians
being held captive in Laos
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -
Police in Laos have captured two
North Carolinians who said they
planned to distribute dollar bills
stamped with a reward offer for
any U.S. military personnel still
held captive in Indochina.
Ross Petzing, a U.S. Embassy
spokesman, said Donna Long of
Jacksonville, N.C and another
American were being held at Ban
Sing Samphan in the southern
Laotian province of Champasak.
Jerry Kiley of the National
Steering Committee for American
War Veterans identified the sec-
ond American as Jim Copp of
Hampstead, N.C. Another
committee member, John Nevin,
said in Washington that neither
American had a visa to enter Laos.
State Department spokes-
woman Phyllis Oakley told re-
porters in Washington that the
U.S. Consulate in Udorn, Thai-
land, confirmed that Lao authori-
ties detained two Americans
Monday on the Thai-Lao border.
'The Americans had rented a
boat and were on the Mekong
River. The Thai-Lao border does
not run along the middle of the
river but evidently follows a vary-
ing line, and the Americans may
have accidentally floated into Lao
territory said Mrs. Oakley. "We
are waiting for the Lao authorities
to inform us whether the Ameri-
cans will be held and charged or
released. Our counsel has not yet
met with them
'They looked so sad said
Pornthipa Vajarabukka, a Thai
hotel manager who crossed the
Mekong River into Laos to see
them Tuesday. Ms. Pornthipa
said she took the Americans cloth-
ing, food and cigarettes but was
not allowed to speak to them.
Petzing said: "We have ad-
vised our embassy in Vientiane of
the arrest and our embassy is
checking with Lao authorities to
determine what has transpired

A set of university-wide deci-
sions will provide ECU with an
overall direction, for the future.
These decisions for the advance-
ment of the university arc re-
ferred to as strategic planning.
Administration, faculty, staff
and students attended a Tuesday
meeting to review the strategy of
the strategic planning model,
which will be officially in effect
the summer of 1991.
The Director of Planning and
Institutional Research, Sue
Hodges said, "Strategic planning
shows where ECU is going; and
how it will get there
"The desire of the program is
to guide the university into a well-
planned future, so that it will have
some guidance in dealing with
and pass out money in villages
alorg Laotian bank of the
Mekong. She revealed the plan on
condition it not be revealed until
the two left Laos or were cap-
tured.
Each bill bears a message of-
fering a $2.4 million reward to
anyone delivering an American
prisoner of war to the Interna-
tional Red Cross.
Ms. Pornthipa said the
Americans were held in a small
house in Ban Sing Samphan. She
said Laotian authorities told her
Monday they would be freed
within three days.
She said the management of
her hotel in Ubon felt some re-
sponsibility because the Ameri-
cans made contact with it before
starting the trip to the Mekong,
which forms a boundary with
Thailand and flows to both Cam-
bodia and Vietnam.
The reward is being offered to
Cambodians, Laotians and Viet-
namese through the National
Steering Committee for American
War Veterans, a private group.
The committee says the money
was pledged by 21 congressmen
and the American Defense Insti-
tute, another group concerned
with missing soldiers.
The United States lists 2393
Americans as still missing in ac-
tion in the Indochina war which
ended in 1975. The governments
of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia
say no Americans are held in tneir
countries.
Kiley, project director for
American War Veterans, claimed
600 Americans are missing in
Laos.
"The reason why these two
peoples as private citizens are
jeopardizing themselves is be-
cause the United States govern-
ment has never acknowledged
the existence of those POWs in
Laos he said in a telephone in-
terview in New York.
Several activists, including
relatives of MIAs, floated bal-
loons down the Mekong from the
Thai shore last year with offers of
the reward, with no known result.
problems, like economic impact
and opportunities such as techno-
logical growth Hodges said.
Hodges said the program is
in the beginning stages.
"The program work groups
are being chosen and these
groups should begin a coordinat-
ing process by November 1 she
said.
"Chancellor Eakin will work
with vice chancellors, deans, fac-
ulty, staff, students, alumni, com-
munity leaders and others to
develop the strategic planning
model that will guide our (ECU)
program she said.
Hodges said the planning
will involve and affect everyone
on campus, "We will seek the
involvement of students in work
groups and consultation, as we
develop plans for the future
The process for developing
unit plans will be determined bv
individual departments of ECU.
Unit plans will be reviewed for
consistency with the overall stra-
tegic plan. A composite of the two
plans will result in ECU's strate-
gic decisions.
Chancellor Richard Eakin
said, "One of the benefits from the
strategic planning process will be
the potential for ECU to broaden
as a learning institution
"ECU hasa great deal to offer.
We would like to focus energy on
improving our learning environ-
ment at the universitv, so that we
can be more effective and respon-
sive to the needs of the state, its
citizens, and its educational sys-
tem Eakin said.
The strategic planning proc-
ess promises to be better than the
"fiasco of 1969 said Vice Chan-
cellor C.G. Moore in reference to
the former long-range plan.
Hodges stated, "The essence
of the strategic planning program
first and foremost is so that ECU
has more control over its fate, and
how it wants to move forward in
the future, as a university
She added, "We will set our
(ECU's) goals and directions
based on the needs of the
university's environment, its ca-
pabilities, the internal values and
its aspirations.
Because new developments
will occur, and the strategic em-
phasis will change constantly,
strategic planning for ECU will
never end.
lodges said Unit plans will
be reviewed and updated every
two years and the university-
wide strategies reassessed every
four years
Library cards will be obsolete
By TAMMY AYCOCK
Staff NMM
Students and faculty will
soon be able to use their ECU
identification cards to check out
materials from all ECU libraries:
Joyner, Music, and Health Sci-
ences, beginning in January.
This will be made possible
through the usage of the LS2000
system. 'The Health Sciences
Library has been circulating ma-
terials on this system for two
years as of January said Dr.
JoAnn Bell, Acting Director of
Academic Library Services.
LS2000 is "an automated
integrated system. When we use
the word integrated, we mean
that it will be used for all the vari-
ous functions that go on in a li-
brary from the time a book gets
ordered until it appears on the
shelves said Marilyn Miller,
assistant director of academic li-
brary services.
"What this will really means,
most of all, is a lot more conven-
ience Miller said. Library pa-
trons will no longer have to manu-
ally fill out charge cards for each
item they wish to check out; and
for ECU students, faculty, and
staff, library cards will become
obsolete.
Library materials (except
Dewey Decimal books) and all
ECU identification cards will
have bar codes affixed to them for
circulation purposes.
Also, patrons will be using
the LS2000 online catalog as
their primary source of informa-
tion opposed to using the card
catalog. "The major portion of our
collection (all Library of Congress
materials) will be online; Dewey
books will not. We will still have
some catalog cabinets out there
for a while Miller said.
For Dewey Decimal books,
the check-out procedure will
"take a little bit longer. We have
an ongoing reclassification sys-
tem. Anything going out in a
Dewey will be coming back in and
go immediately to reclass. The
next time it comes back, it's going
to be a Library of Congress book
and have a bar code on it Miller
said.
The LS2000 system will give
the status on all library books
(except Dewey Decimal books) in
regard to their availability and
location. Presently, the system
lists all materials (in Joyner and
Music libraries) as available, even
if they are checked out when the
system is fully implemented, it
will indicate whether or not the
materials are available. If the
materials are unavailable, it will
give their due dates.
"With this system, patrons
will be able to give their names
and find out if they have any
overdue books. Under the man-
ual system (in which checked out
books are filed by call numbers), it
is impossible to get this informa-
tion until their books are two
weeks overdue Miller said.
Anyone who has a hardware
terminal into the campus network
(Net 1) or anyone who has a com-
puter with a modem can gain
access into the LS2000 system. It
is not ready now for this type of
access, but it will be by January.
Information on how to dial in will
be issued later this semester.
"Anyone who isn't taking
Library Science 1000 or who
hasn't registered at the Health
Sciences Library needs to fill out a
registration form for LS2000 at
any of the ECU libraries. We en-
courage them to do this prior to
the end of this semester Miller
said.
The LS2000 system is mar-
keted by OCLC, a major library
vendor.
Although Bill and Miller had
individual and yearly figures,
they were unable to give an esti-
mate for the total cost of automat-
ing all three libraries.
Bell explained, "The univer-
sity very seldom buys things as a
whole package. The costs have
been sprea.ii.cn er a five year pe-
riod. We paid for a license to use
this software system; then we
paid a fee to OCLC to customize it
(LS2000); then we paid fees for
our tapes which are the biblio-
graphic records. So, there are
many different costs associated
with it and we haven't even men-
tioned the equipment costs
This summer, the 5280 system
was upgraded to a larger CPU
(the computer on which the auto-
mated system will run). The cost
for this was $449,000. The reason
we had to purchase the CPU is
that the computer we initially

OCTOBER 6, 1988
Despite arrests, demonstrators plan more action
ATLANTA (AP) - Abortion
protesters prepared for more
demonstrations after police ar-
rested more than 350 of them us-
ing get-tough tactics that organiz-
ers blamed for an injury and
caused civil libertarians to regis-
ter a complaint.
"1 could not believe the level
of brutality that was going on
here protest leader Randall
Terry said Tuesday as police
dragged or carried protesters
who resisted arrest by crawling
on hands and knees.
Today was to be the second
day of Operation Rescue's four-
day "siege of Atlanta" aimed at
temporarily shutting some of the
seven clinics that perform abor-
tions here. Last summer, the New
York-based group led demonstra-
tions at Atlanta clinics during the
Democratic National Conven-
tion, resulting in 700arrests, three
of whom remain in jail.
In demonstrations Tuesday
at three midtown clinics, 360
people were arrested, police and
Operation Rescue officials said.
Most clinics followed their
usual schedule, said Lynne Ran-
dall, executive director of one of
the clinics.
Most of those who arrested
were charged with criminal tres-
pass and identified themselves as
3abv Jane Doe or Baby John Doe,
said police spokeswoman Myrna
May. That identification tactic
was used in earlier protests.
At a rally Tuesday night at St.
Jude the Apostle Roman Catholic
Church in suburbs north of At-
lanta, Terry urged about 600
people to join today's protests.
But only about 75 people said
they would participate, and re-
mained for coaching on tactics.
Protesters complained that
police treated them with unneces-
sary harshness, twisting arms and
fingers and using pressure-point
holds just under the ears to force
them off the street and into buses.
Some screamed or cried as they
were taken away.
Police asked the protesters if
they would walk to the buses
before hauling them off when
they refused.
Gene Guerrero, executive
director of the Georgia chapter of
the American Civil Liberties
Union, said he asked the city to
abandon pressure-point holds.
However, he said, "I've been
toalotofdcmonstrationsand I've
seen a lot of police brutality. I
haven't seen that today
Guerrero, who joined abor-
tion rights advocates in helping
escort women through the dem-
onstrators to the clinics Tuesday,
said Operation Rescue was going
beyond the limits of free speech.
"There is a real interference
now he said. Protest organizers
complained that the police's tac-
tics, which they
had been warned about, led
to the injury of the Rev. Doyle
Clark, a demonstrator in his late
50s who is pastor of a church in
Hudson, Ind.
Clark said he was dropped on
his head as police carried him to a
bus, according to Grady Memo-
rial Hospital spokesman William
Breyer. Breyer said Clark, who
was being kept in the hospital's
detention unit, would probablv
be treated and returned to jail.
In addition to trespass
charges, participants in this
week's protests face fines up to
$500 for contempt of court if they
violate a Superior Court judge's
order limiting the demonstra
tions.

Are you eating enough fiber
every day? The National Cancer
Institute recommends 30-40
grams per day, however, the
average American only eats 10-15
gramsof dietary fiber a day. If you
eat mostly white breads, white
rice, and fast foods you may not be
getting enough fiber in your diet.
Why is fiber important? High
fiber foods, such as whole grains,
raw fruits and vegetables, and
beans, can help you lose weight,
keep your heart and gastrointesti-
nal tract healthy, reduce your
chance of developing certain can-
cers, and reduce constipation.
Many high fiber foods have
low caloric density, which means
you can eat a large amount of
these foods yet consume fewer
calories than with low calorie
foods. For example, you can eat
two oranges instead of drinking a
cup of orange juice and end up
with the same number of calories.
Eating the oranges takes longer
and uses more calories to process.
Try to eat fiber foods every
day. You can have whole fruit,
whole wheat English muffins,
popcorn, peas, oatmeal, raw, or
slightly steamed vegetables- and
salads, bran cereals, and gar-
banzo beans.
Occasionally when people try
to increase dietary fiber, they may
complain of feeling bloated, and
having gas or constipation. If you
experience these symptoms, you
should increase the amount of

Bikers need to heed rules
Bicycle riders who are unsafe,
violators of state laws and cam-
pus regulations have become a
problem on the ECU campus.
As the automobile popula-
tion on campus has increased, so
has the bicycle population. In the
past month there have been sev-
eral bicyclists who have collided
with autos on campus. The bicy-
clist was at fault in each incident.
Fortunately none were seri-
ously injured. Reasons for these
collisions were: riding the wrong
way on a one way street, failure to
stop for a duly erected stop sign
and illegal passing. In addition,
several pedestrians and bicyclists
have had near misses on campus
sidewalks.
Crime Column
by
Captain Knox
ECU Police Dept.
Effective immediately, the
ECU Public Safety-Police and Re-
serve Officers will begin strictly
monitoring bicycle traffic. They
will be enforcing state laws, cam-
pus regulations, issuing citations
for violations and impounding
bicycles when applicable.
For those who may not know
the laws and regulations govern-
ing bicycles on campus, they are
as follows:
Sec. 1. North Carolina motor
vehicle laws consider a bicycle to
be a motor vehicle insofar as the
nature of the vehicle permits.
Traffic regulations must be
obeyed as bicycle riders. Traffic
citations will be issued to opera-
tors of bicycles violating traffic
regulations.
Sec. 2 Bicycles parked or
operated on the East Carolina
University campus shall be regis-
tered with the Traffic Office and
bear a bicycle registration permit.
All bicycles found on camp in
violation of this section oe
impounded until proof of o ner-
ship is determined.
Sec. 3 Bicycles will not be
parked inside administrative or
classroom buildings, in stairwells
or hallwavs of residence halls, on
sidewalks, ramps or outside stair-
ways. University Police are au-
thorized to use the force necessary
to remove and impound all bi-
cycles found in violation of the
Article.
Sec. 4 Unregistered bicycles
left on campus will be considered
to be illegally parked. Thev mav
be impounded and disposed of in
accordance with North Carolina
State Statutes.
Sec. 5 Bicycles will not be
operated on the sidewalks of
ECU. Bicycles will not be
operated in excess of 15 mph and
operators will observe and com-
ply with traffic regulations.
Sec. 6 Bicycles operated on
campus at night shall have lights
and reflectors in accordance with
North Carolina State Statutes.
Other facts to consider: bi-
cycles are no match for cars or
trucks in a collision. The car or
truck is going to win every time.
Yet, some bicyclists must thinl
differently about the way they
ride. Some bicyclists do not ride
safely and are just an accident
waiting to happen. Some even
daringly and blatantly ride as if
they own the road, expecting
autos to yield to them instead of
vice versa.
Some motorists look out for
the unyielding bicyclist (those
who will not yield to let traffic
J
pass safely). While pulling out to
go around the bicyclist, the mo-
torist puts himself and others in
danger of a head on collision.
We must remember streets
and highways were designed for
15-55 mph traffic with car and
truck traffic in mind. Although
there are some areas with bicycle
routes, the common sense thing
to do is pull off and let traffic by.
Most avid bicyclists will argue
they have as much right on the
road as cars and trucks. That may
well be true; however, in reality, if
there is a collision, who do you
think will walk away un-
scratched?
People constantly threaten to
sue the motorist. Maybe so, if it
can be proved that it was not the
bicyclists fault and that heshe
did not contribute to the accident.
Remember the same rules of the
road apply to bicyclists as to
motorists.
Furthermore, is it worth the
price of broken bones, scars, pa-
ralysis or death that is sometimes
associated with collisions be-
tween bicycles and autos? What
of the agony the driver of the auto
feels when heshe hits a bicyclist,
no matter who is at fault? Think
about it! Is it worth the chance?
Ride carefully and safely;
obey all state and campus regula-
tions concerning bicycles. With
your help it can be safer for you
and everyone concerned.

Violence, bombings plague Chilean elections
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -
Tower outages blamed on terror-
ist bombings plunged the capital
into darkness on the eve of
yesterday's national referendum
on whether Gen. Augusto Pino-
chet should remain as president.
Troops were posted at 1,000
polling places throughout the
country and other police and
army units patrolled the streets
late Tuesday night. Their num-
bers increased after blackouts
struck Santiago and other cities in
a 1,300-milc stretch of the country.
At least eight explosions were
heard in Santiago moments after
the power outage.
Police blamed theblackout on
a terrorist bombing of at least
three electrical towers, but said
they had n reports of damage or
"injuries from the subsequent ex-
plosions, indicating they may
have been noise bombs intended
to frighten but not harm.
The blackout interrupted an
election eve marked by relative
calm, with many residents filling
theaters and restaurants late
Tuesday in anticipation of a day
off on election day, declared a
national holiday.
The nation's long-idled elec-
tion machinery has been put back
in place for today's referendum
on Pinochet, who lifted emer-
gency rule and loosened his tight
grip on the opposition in the
months preceding the balloting.
Voting was scheduled from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m with the first
unofficial returns to be released
about an hour after polls closed.
A coalition of 16 opposition
parties, distrustful of the Interior
Ministry's tabulations, planned a
separate vote count. The group
says it will accept as official the
results of the National Electoral
Service, which are to be disclosed
on Friday.
Patricio Aylwin, president of
the centrist Christian Democratic
Party and spokesman for a oppo-
sition coalition, predicted
Pinochet's downfall.
"We are going to vote and we
are going to win he told report-
ers. Gen. Jorge Zincke. militarv
commander of Santiago, said in-
structions had been given to pro-
vide access at polling places to the
estimated 500 foreign observers.
"We have nothing to hide he
said.
About 150,000 members of
the armed forces and national
police have been on barracks alert
since Sunday. Paper ballots at
voting booths were marked only
with a "yes" and a "no
If most vote "yes Pinochet
will begin an eight-year term in
March. The military junta he
leads, which theoretically served
as the legislative branch of
Pinochet's government, will be
disbanded. A new Congress
would be seated in 1990, two-
thirds elected and the remaining
third appointed by Pinochet.
1 f most cast "no" ballots, open
elections arc to be held next year
and Pinochet is to relinquish
power in March 1990.
No matter what the outcome
of the referendum, congressional
elections will be held in 1990, but
the legislature will have limited
authority. It will be virtually
powerless to amend a 1980
constitution, which gives the mili-
tary autonomy and a supervisory
role in national policy-making.
Pinochet has pointed to an
improved economy in recent
years and the promise of growth
and stability if he is retained as
president. His critics say the rich
have benefited the most, and say-
human rights abuses continue
under his rule.

Abortion
A thought experiment in alternatives
Much has been said about abor-
tion. The subject touches almost
everyone's life in some way: a friend
has an abortion, a group lauds or
lambaste a political candidate for his
views on the matter, and so on.
Most of the argument seems to
focus on the relative rights of a liv-
ing, breathing woman and those of a
fetus. Unfortunately, beliefs on both
sides have been constructed to con-
form with previously established
dogma. As neither side is likely to
change the other's fundamental be-
liefs, the debate is clearly unproduc-
tive; a better solution must be found.
Like most discoveries, the solu-
tion to the abortion controversy was
here all along, just waiting to be
found. And here it is:
First oi all, America is at least
nominally a democracy, so one
would assume that for the abolition
of abortion to be the law oi the land,
more than 50 percent oi the voters
would have to be against it.
To find out who is for choice and
who is against it, then, there must be
some sort oi national referendum on
the subject. For reasons that will be
made clear in a moment, the best
way to carrv out the referendum
would be to allow anyone who
wishes to declare himself or herself
against abortion to sign his or her
name to a list, including his or her
address and phone number.
If the number of names on the list
did not exceed 50 percent of the
number of legitimate American vot-
ers, we could simply throw the list
away, let abortion remain legal, and
end the whole thing there.
If, on the other hand, more than
50 percent oi the populace proved to
be against abortion, then abortion
would be abolished.
But there's a catch.
If abortion is made illegal, the
government keeps the list. And now
every time a baby is born to a woman
who would otherwise have had an
abortion, we take a look at the list.
And we pick a name. At random.
Like a lotterv.
And this person instantly be-
comes legally and morally respon-
sible for the care and keeping of that
infant. No matter the person's finan-
cial status, social status or marital
status. No matter whether the baby
is black or white; healthy or sick;
normal or hideously malformed;
KMS-v v
wanted or unwanted.
And this person would become
legally and morally responsible not
only for the baby, but also, to an
extent, for the mother. If she re-
quired physical or mental treatment
at any time in her life as a direct or
indirect result of having the baby,
the baby's new parents would be
required to provide it. They would
have to compensate her for lost
wages, if any. And, of course, if she
had died during childbirth, they'd
be guilty of murder.
Come to think of it, it wouldn't
be a bad idea to make this legal
moral parent responsible for the
mother's health from the moment of
conception. Heshe would need to
ensure that the mother had
adequate natal care, that she didn't
drink, smoke or do drugs, and - most
important - that she didn't have an
abortion.
If the legal moral parent refused
to accept the baby or went into hid-
ing to avoid it, heshe would be
sought by the police, or, if necessary,
the FBI; when found, heshe would
be charged with and prosecuted for
child abuse, neglect and abandon-
ment.
And it wouldn't be to the anti-
abortionists' advantage to make up
false names. If it were found that a
person whose name was on the list
had never in fact existed, the name
would be struck from the list and
some legitimate person would be
chosen instead. If at any point the
number of people "bn the list fell
below7 50 percent of the total popula-
tion, abortion would become legal
but those persons who had acquired
babies in the interim would still be
responsible for them.
Of course, to make this legally
binding, all those who signed the list
would have to be informed of pre-
cisely what they were getting them-
selves into, and they would have to
be made aware that by signing their
names to the list, they were accept-
ing anything and everything that
might befall them as a result of
"adopting" a child through this
process.
Granted, most people would not
declare themselves against abortion
if they were the ones who had to
suffer the consequences of having
the baby but then, that says it all,
doesn't it?
Response termed redundant
To the editor:
To the ECU Chairman for Bush
'88:
Thank you for your response
which I found to be ethereal and
redundant. While I did not take your
attacks upon my character person-
ally, those attacks only affirmed my
suspicions that you cannot intelli-
gently debate the issues. Your only
recourse has been to cloud our dis-
cussion with mudslinging. Appar-
ently, Bush has a great deal of influ-
ence on you. And you, like Bush, do
not have the ability to deal with the
real issues.
For example; Bush says he wants
to be the education candidate. But,
where was George while the Re-
aganBush administration turned its
back on the federal government's
commitment to education? The Re-
aganBush administration has aban-
doned young Americans who de-
serve a chance to attend college. Over
the last 7 years, more than 730,000
students have seen their chance for a
college loan disappear. (Kirk, Paul.
Spectrum, September988).
The Mike Dukakis record on
education is solid. Over the past 7
years, while he was governor, Mike
Dukakis quintupled funding for col-
lege scholarships in Massachusetts.
(Kirk, Paul. Spectrum, Scptember-
1988).
Although he claims to be a fiscal
conservative, George Bush sup-
ported the 2 largest tax increases in
the history of the nation: the 1982
deficit reduction tax increase and the
1983 Social Security tax increase.
(Kirk, Paul. Spectrum, Septcmbcr-
1988).
Mike Dukakis has cut taxes five
times in the last 5 years, providing
more that $500 million dollars in tax
relief. Only 15 states have a lower tax
burden than Massachusetts. (Kirk,
Paul. Spectrum, Septembcr-1988).
Mr. Hall, 1 will address another
issue concerning the jobs debate.
George Bush boasts a $22,000 a year
average pay rate for new jobs, not
$30,000 a year as you reported. This
figure comes from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics AFTER the early 80's
recession. In 1986, the Join t Economic
Committee of Congress issued a re-
port titled, "The Great American Job
Machines; The Proliferation of Low
Wage Employment in the U.S. Econ-
omy
The report said between 1979
and 1984 nearly three fifths of net
new jobs paid LOW wages, com-
pared with one fifth during the 1963-
79 period. George Bush says he is for
working families. Where was George
while annual job growth dropped
25 lower than levels during the
previous Democratic administra-
tion? (Kirk, Paul. Spectrum, Septem-
bcr-1988, p.20).
Over the last 5 years, while Mike
Dukakis has been governor, growth
in per capita income in Massachu-
setts has been the highest in the na-
tion. (Kirk, Paul. Spectrum.
Sepcmtber-1988).

Again, 1 appreciate your re-

Political Science
Military criticized
To the editor:
If vou have a lot of moncv, vou
can just about do anything that you
want to do. You can find some other
people who want to foment a war
and buy an election. Or even if you
don't start a war, you can squander a
lot of monev on national defense
which both parties tell us that they
plan to do.
But I was in the National Guard
and when we were called to active
duty for two tornadoes, we were not
really too effective. It took so long to
get us activated that if the looters
were going to steal anything, it
would have been taken by the time
we got there.
The National Guard should have
just one small part of each unit that
works with the Sheriff's Department
and then when a large emergency
comes along they could go right to
work. I would think that the police
with the computer technology could
predict when i crime wave was
about to hit. T n a few of the Na-
tional Guard I ys might just stake
out businesses that might be robbed.
But I would like to see a panel of
military experts (not controlled by
the U.S. military) who would evalu-
ate each item that is procured by the
military. A layman is practically
powerless to keep from being robbed
by the big business concerns.
Years ago I lived near
MacDonald Air Craft Corp and I was
really taken in by thier propaganda.
But then I met an instructor at Cha-
nute who told me that he thought
that MacDonald turned out nothing
but garbage.
I talked to European military
experts about U.S. strategy in W.W.il
and they thought that there was some
insanity in the Pentagon since they
said that you could not get an army
through the Brenner Pass into Ger-
many. They also thought that the old
Army Air Force was more interested
in dropping bombs in order to make
U.S. bomb manufacturers rich than
trying to end W.W. II because all of
Germany runs on electricity and by
just bombing German power plants
we could have ended it. If General
Patton had not been such a yes man,
he would have landed in Southern
France and quietly proceeded into
Berlin.
But if I had a son who wanted to
become a professional soldier, 1
would tell him no and that I didn't
want him to beome a boot lickcr. The
military used to breed boot lickers
like flvs. The last time I stopped at
Fort Bragg at the N .CO Club, I heard
this guv say something about buying
a drink for the First Sergeant. Well, let
the First Sergeants buy their own
booze. They alwavs had a lot more
rank than I did and thus more moncv
The U.S. Navy wants more air-
craft carriers, but I dislike the U.S.
Navy. They kept my brother and a lot
of other guys imprisoned on war
ships during the war with Japan a lot
longer than was necessary? not to
mention that they got a lot more
Marines killed than was really neces-
sary at places such as Tarawa.
I also dislike the reports that I
have heard about the U.S.M.C. train-
ing men so hard that they practically
destroy their souls. During the war in
Vietnam, I had learned about some-
thing that is called the craft of intelli-
gence. I saw material printed that
could get out Marines killed, as well
as information printed that could get
the Marines being held in P.O.W.
camps killed.
I once knew a woman who was
married to a professional Navy man
and she was faithful to him, but I
think that she did this by becoming a
drug addict. But why couldn't the
Navy have a floating base that the
dependents of military people could
live on. Then their wives wouldn't
have to be unfaithful since the fleet
units could visit with their families
on weekends.
Some of these foreign countries
want to hold the U.S. up because we
want to have bases in the Philippines.
Well, why not put some people to
work here in the U S. designing ships
large enough to be floating bases.
There is a lot of good here in the U.S.
that I would like to rest of the world
to see Such as Disney World. I would
also like to have a comprehensive
study made of Eisenhower's cam-
paign.

Professor Daniel has suggested the
parrot as a substitute symbol. He
argues that phonetically and
orthographically the change would
be easy.
Good suggestion! 1 would like to
add that the parrot would make a

tue of being a unique school totem.

What everyone had thought FSLIC was sup-
posed to do when S&Ls (or "thrifts") got into trouble
was shut them down and pay off depositors of
$100,000 or less. The problem, however, is that
FSLIC doesn't have the money. So it sells the sick
thrift to a healthy thrift? or, more recently, it sells
the sick thrift to anyone who'll buy it. Since smart
buyers know that FSLIC is desperate, recent "sales"
have been giveaways, with the buyer barely at risk.
Its neatest deal was announced on Labor Day:
Robert Bass would put up $550 million to buy 70
percent of American Savings and Loan Association
of Stockton, Calif the country's largest thrift, with
$30 billion in assets. FSLIC would put up the equiva-
lent of $2 billion for the remaining 30 percent.
Bass got one especially nice arrangement: He
can use $1.5 billion of the thrift's deposits for doing
deals. What sort of deals will Bass do? This year, he's
already bought the Westin hotel chain ($1.5 billion
itself) and then sold off the Plaza to Donald Trump
for $410 million. He's bought Bell & Howell ($702
million), and he's been trying to buy Macmillan ($2
billion).
Now, the Home Loan Bank Board and FSLIC
have come up with a way of keeping insolvent thrifts
alive, maybe even through the start of the 101st
Congress in January. And (who knows?) by then
Robert Bass may be up to 20th or even 15th on the
billionaires' ladder.

to the "in loco parentis" relation-

students of the opposite sex to

closed doors.
Though the rules collapsed
under student protests for greater
autonomy, new drinking laws
and increasing numbers of stu-
dent lawsuits blaming colleges
for sexual assaults and other
crimes have moved many cam-
J
puses to tighten their control over
potentially litigious student be-

St. Joseph's College in Maine,
the State University of New York
at Binghamton and North Caro-

overnight visits to dorms by
members of the opposite sex in re-

SAT scores at standstill
for third straight year
(CTS) - In spite oi a huge
wave oi school reforms aimed
mostly at helping students to do
better on standardized tests,
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
scores have stayed flat tor the
third straight year, the College
Board announced Sept. 20.
This year's freshman had
average verbal scores of 428 ?
down two points from the year
before ?and average math scores
of 47b, the same as in 1987.
"There's no medal for Amer-
ica in this news said U.S. Secre-
tary oi Education William Ben-
nett. "1 said in April that the
absolute level in which our im-
provements are taking place is
urtacceptably low Today it's a bit
lower and still not acceptable.
Come on team back into train-
ing
College Board President
Donal Stewart chose to stress the
positive: "It is certainly reassur-
ing to see that the decline in scores
on the SAT has leveled oii in re-
cent years, because this probablv
means that some positive things
are happening in the nation's
schools
Average scores peaked in
1963, and various observers have
blamed everything from tenure to
atmospheric nuclear testing for
the decline since.
In the interim, verbal scores
reached a high of 466 in 1968 and
math scores a high of 493 in 1969.
Yet from the verbal low of 424 and
the math low of 466 ? both re-
corded in 1981 ? average scores
began to rebound modestly until
they leveled off again in 1987.
Although the College Board
sternly warns people to weight
the test scores in "the context in
which the particular test scores
were earned politicians always
trumpet them as proof of some-
thing.
When scores turned upward
in 1982, President Reagan claimed
they vindicated his education
policies.
Education Policy Analyst
leanne Allen of the Heritage
foundation, an influential con-
servative think tank, says the
Reagan administration can still
take credit tor improving SAT
scores.
A lot oi the dialogue by the
Reagan administration sparked
efforts to improve education she
said. "The states responded to
that dialogue, but improvements
that time. We'll see some real in-
novative successes
Still others don't see much
room for interpretation in the
scores.
lohn Katzman, president oi
Princeton Review, a New York
firm that coaches standardized
test takers, has fervently criticized
the SAT for what he says is a bias
against women and minorities.
Hie SAT, he savs, doesn't test
actual knowledge, just students'
ability to take standardized tests.
"It's a lousy test that doesn't
measure aptitude

Nuclear mishaps kept secret
WASHINGTON (AD - For
three decades, serious mishaps at
the Savannah River nuclear
weapons plant were kept secret
foe national security reasons and
in some cases not reported to
Washington, according to federal
officials who are trying to change
that attitude.
One senior Energy Depart-
ment official has compared the
approach to safety at the Savan-
nah River Plant, near Aiken, S.C
to that which led to the explosion
ol the shuttle Challenger on Jan.
28 1986.
And one member of Congress
says the facility, which has boon
closed since August should not be
allowed to reopen until tho situ-
ation improves.
An Energy Department
spokesman, Will Callicott, said
that since the federal government
began making atomic weapons in
World War II, "there has always
been a mind set, a culture, that wo
are doing work that is important
for national security and perhaps
that may override any obligation
toward public accountability.
"People have historically not
been sensitive to the importance
of disclosing things Callicott
sud. Clearly, there is a lot of in-
formation that did not make it up
th?" chain to top management hero
"?adquarters
'thout a detailed review of
the re jo. d, ho said, it would bo im-
possible to determine exactly
what information had reached
Washington and what had boon
released to the public.
Energy Secretary John Hcr-
nngton, since taking office in
1985, "has given heightened at-
tention to the area of environ-
mental safety and health and for
the first time placed these issues
in the hands of an assistant secre-
tary, Callicott said.
The Savannah River facility
produces plutonium and tritium,
which are used in making nuclear
weapons. It is run by E.I. du Pont
Nemours & Co. under contract
from the Energy Department.
A Du Pont inspector, G.C.
Ridgcly, wrote in a recently re-
leased August 1985 memoran-
dum that 30 "reactor incidents of
the greatest significance" oc-
curred there.
One of the most serious mis-
haps at Savannah River was the
melting in November 1970 of a
rod used to start an atomic chain
reaction, causing radioactive con-
tamination of an adjacent room. It
took 900 people throe months to
clean up the contamination, ac-
cording to tho memo.
"Serious radiation exposure
could have occurred because no
outside alarm existed" and an
"alarm was ignored for two
hours tho memo said.
Last Friday, Energy Depart-
ment officials said the depart-
ment had not been informed oi
the incidents, but on Monday sen-
ior department spokesman C.
Anson Franklin said those state-
ments were incorrect and that tho
incidents had been reported to the
department's regional office in
Aikcn.
He said the information ap-
parently had not boon relayed to
headquarters in Washington
from the regional office.
The reactors at Savannah
River were closed down after the
most recent incident, in August,
and had been scheduled to reopen
Tuesday. But Energy Department
officials assured fnembers of Con-
gress last week that production
would not resume until safety
was assured, possibly after 30
davs to 45 davs.
"If they restart those things
without having briefed us and
without having convinced us they
have solved the saety and health
issues, they will be in serious
trouble in the Congress said
Rep. Mike Synar, D-Okla.
Synar, chairman of the En-
ergy, Environment and Natural
Resources subcommittee of the
Government Affairs Committee,
held hearings on the Savannah
River facility last Friday.
The most blistering charge
last week came from Richard
Starostecki, deputy assistant sec-
retary for safety, health and qual-
ity assurance, in a memorandum
discussing the most recent inci-
dent, a small power pulse in Au-
gust.
"The issue was not whether
the reactor was out of control; this
time it was not Starostecki said
in the memo, which was released
at a congressional hearing.
"The more serious issue deals
with an institutional problem and
attitudes toward safety' Staros-
tecki said.

Tobacco products removed from shelves
LOS ANGELES (AP) -
California's largest supermarket
chain began removing cigars,
pipe tobacco and chewing to-
bacco from shelves because the
products are not labeled as can-
cer-causing in compliance with a
tate la
, igarettes are not involved in
the action announced Tuesday by
Vons Cos. Inc. because they al-
roady carry a federally mandated
warning label. Several brands of
chewing tobacco that carry such
labels also are exempt.
"It's the first time we are
aware of that a supermarket has
taken product oii the shelves in
response to Proposition 65 said
Deputy Attorney General Craig
C. Thompson, the state enforce-
ment cixrchnator tor the law cre-
ated by the November 1986 ballot
initiative.
The law requires the state to
identify products and substances
that can cause1 cancer, birth de-
fects and sterility. Businesses
must warn the public of "signifi-
cant" amounts oi the substances.
Vons has 336 stores in the
central and southern parts of Cali-
fornia. It recently acquired 172
Safeway supermarkets in South-
ern California.
The removal of 17 tobacco
products produced by five com-
panies was designed to comply
with Proposition 65, said Vons
spokeswoman Vickie Sanders.
On Friday, state Attorney
General John K. Van do Kamp
filed a civil lawsuit against 25 to-
bacco manufacturers and eight
food store chains, including Vons.
The suit claimed the companies
failed to warn consumers of the
cancer risk of certain products.
However, Ms. Sanders told
the Los Angeles Times that the
decision to pull the products had
nothing to do with the lawsuit.
"We did not do it without
warning or notice to manufactur-
ers. This is not a sudden move on
Vons' part she said.
Tobacco manufacturers and
distributors were told in August
that Vons would require warning
labels on products by Sept. 17, Ms.
Sanders said. That deadline later
was extended until Monday, she
said.
The tobacco industry hoped it
could comply with the law by
posting signs in stores and other
measures short of attaching warn-
ing labels to their products.

Supporters of trade restrictions vow to keep trying
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sup-
porters of a bill to impose tougher
restrictions on textile imports, af-
ter failing to override President
Reagan's veto, promise to renew
their efforts when Congress re-
turns next year.
"Well be back Sen. Emest
F. Hollings, D-S.C, said Tuesday
after the House voted 272-152 to
override Reagan's veto but fell 11
votes short of the two-thirds
needed to enact the measure over
his objections.
The action appeared to close
the book on the battle for textile
legislation this year, with two
weeks at most remaining before
lawmakers adjourn to campaign
full time.
The bill, designed to protect
American industry from foreign
competition, would freeze cur-
rent textile and apparel imports at
1987 levels and limit future in-
creases to 1 percent annually. The
same would apply to non-rubber
footwear except that no future
growth would be allowed.
Countries that increase their
purchases of U.S. farm goods
would get larger shares of the U.S.
textiles market. A pilot program
would be established, allowing
the government to auction off
import licenses. A special quota
would be created for imported
silk neckties.
Reagan vetoed the measure
Sept. 28, saying it represented
"protectionism at its worst" and
would not only narrow consumer
choices but inhibit trade and cost
America overseas sales. Sponsors
said it would save American jobs
now in jeopardy because of a
wave of Asian textiles and ap-
parel crowding U.S. merchandise
out of stores.
House Speaker Jim Wright,
D-Texas, lobbied furiously for the
override and sponsors said they
were close to two-thirds at one
point, "But we had some guys we
just couldn't pull across" said
Rep. W. G. Hefner, D-N.C.
"Obviously, I'm disap-
pointed Hollings said in a state-
ment. He claimed the bill was
similar to provisions endorsed by
Reagan several years ago before
the president became critical of
"this protectionism nonsense
"The failure to override the
veto means that the next Congress
or the next administration must
act to restructure our current inef-
ficient textile policy Sen. Strom
Thurmond, R-S.C, said after the
vote.
Textile and apparel workers
bused in for the occasion from
various East Coast cities held a
flag-waving rally on the steps of
the Capitol at noon, chanting,
"Save our jobs, save our jobs
Some then watched glumly from
the House galleries as the legisla-
tion met its doom.
Critics portrayed the meas-
ure as guaranteed to spur price
increases that would amount to a
fresh tax on consumers.
"Stand up for consumers,
stand up for America, support

Reverend wants to spice-up church
CINCINNATI (AP) - The
Rev. Clarence Rivers wants to
pump life and music into Roman
Catholic services, which he says
have become boring rituals that
parishioners endure rather than
enjoy.
"What's wrong with enjoy?
It's a perfectly good word he
said.

about 250 priests in the Archdio-
cese of Cincinnati. Rivers said he
seeks to inject some oi the livelier
feeling and music of black
churches into the celebration of
Mass

he is not advocating doing away

Britain, Iran restore relations
UNITED NATION'S (AD -
Britain's foreign secretary says he
will meet Iran's foreign inminstcr

diplomatic ties between the two
nations after a year of chilly rela-
tions.
"Certainly we are seeking

Minister AH Akbar Velayati, he
said.
When asked if he might an-

Officials at the British Foreign
Office in London said the meeting
would be held Friday at U.N.

In New York, U.S. Secretary
oi State George Shultz said Tues-
day that U.S. diplomats have no
plans to meet with Iranian envoys
in the city for the 43rd U.N. Gen-
eral Assembly.
Last week, Britain's Foreign
Office said other likely topics of
discussion between Howe and
Velayati include the fate oi Brit-
ons missing in Lebanon and U.N.
efforts to end the 8-year-old Iran-
Iraq war.
A Foreign Office spokesman,
speaking on condition of ano-
nymity, said Britain would main-
tain its policy of not negotiating
for the release of hostages.
The missing Britons include
Anglican Church envoy Terry
VVaite, journalist John McCarthy,
and teacher Brian Kccnan who is
also an Irish national. All arc be-

Reverend wants to spice-up church
i
CINCINNATI (AP) - The
Rev. Clarence Rivers wants to
pump life and music into Roman
Catholic services, which he says
have become boring rituals that
parishioners endure rather than
enjoy.
"What's wrong with enjoy?
It's a perfectly good word he
said.
One of two blacks among
about 250 priests in the Archdio-
cese of Cincinnati, Rivers said he
seeks to inject some of the livelier
feeling and music of black
churches into the celebration of
Mass.
A liturgist, musician, drama-
tist, lecturer and teacher of Eng-
lish literature, he emphasized that
he is not advocating doing away
with traditional Catholic rituals.
"I'm not an anti-traditional-
ist Rivers said in an interview.
"I'd keep everything A demon-
strative man with an easy laugh,
he added:

PTL sells for $115 million
CHARLOTTE, N.C (AD -
PTL's trustee has accepted a $115
million bid from a Canadian busi-
nessman for the Christian
ministry's assets, but the buyer,
who is Jewish, hasn't said what he
will do with the remnants of Jim
Bakker's empire.
The decision Tuesday came
down to who ottered "the most
money and the best terms said
bankruptcy trustee M.C. "Red
Ben ton.
"I'd hoped we could get a bit
more for it. But this is not a bad
price s.ud Benton, who spent
nearlv six months talking with
bidders.
One of them was Bakker, who
nearly a month ago failed to se-
cure the financing for his$172 mil-
lion offer.
Bakker gave a conditional
blessing to the winning bid bv
Stephen R. Mernick of Toronto,
fammv and I remain
committed to the restoration ot
the ministry oi TTL, Bakker said
in a statement. If the present offer
is agreeable to the creditors, the
partners I PR's major donors)
and the court, and Cod's will is
satisfied with respect to the minis-
trv of PTL, we will be happy with
that outcome
Mernick, 34, will pay $50 mil-
lion at closing, which the contract
set at no later than Dec. 31, and the
balance over five wars, said his
attorney, Joseph Kluttz.
If approved by a US Bank-
ruptcy Court judge in Columbia.
S.C, Mernick will own the 500-
acre Heritage USA, a Christian
retreat and theme park south oi
Charlotte in York County, S.C;
the PTL satellite TV network; and
1,700 undeveloped acres in York
County.
PTL's religious functions
have been separated from its
other operations, and the 1 Ion
tage USA Church is leasing back
its facilities from PTL to continue
on-site worship and Christian
broadcasting.
Mernick, an Orthodox Jew
who was celebrating the holiday
Simchat Torah, did not travel to
Charlotte to attend Tuesday's
new conference announcing the
winning bid.
Kluttz said Mernick has inter-
ests in real estate, clothing, gar-
bage collection and landfills.
"His primary interest as a
businessman is to get a maximum
return on his investment Kluttz
said.
In a Sept. 15 letter to Benton,
Mernick said he would welcome
the opportunity to meet with rep-
resentatives of any group or
groups that are seriously inter-
ested in exploring ways of pre-
serving or enhancing the Chris-
tian orientation of parts or all of
the existing developed assets
Gun control advocate, Carl Rowan is being
tried on weapons violations, after shooting
WASHINGTON (AP) - Syn-
dicated columnist Carl T. Rowan.
a longtime gun control advocate
now being tried on weapons
charges, says he thought the pistol
he used to shoot a baekvard in-
truder was exempt from local
registration laws.
Closing arguments were set
to begin today in Rowan's trial on
charges of using an unregistered
handgun in the June 14 shooting
oi a teen-ager who had taken an
uninvited dip in the columnist's
backyard swimming pool.
It convicted of the misde-
meanor charges, the 63-vear-old
Rowan could ico up to two years
in prison and a $2,000 fine.
District of Columbia Superior
Court Judge Arthur L. Burnett
said Tuesday that jurv delibera-
tions would begin immediatelv
after prosecutors and defense
lawyers finished summarizing
their cases.
Rowan told the jury on Tues-
day that in 1982 his son, then an
FBI agent, left the .22-caliber pis-
tol in his father's bedroom after
the columnist received death
threats trom persons purporting
to be members of the Ku Klux
Klan.
"I was getting a lot oi threats
ifter Vernon Jordan (former head
oi the National Urban League)
was shot. They said, Tou're next,
nigger Rowan testified.
Rowan said his son was told
by District police officials that he
had a "blanket exemption" from
the city's tough handgun registra-
tion laws because he was a federal
agent.
He said police also told his
son there would be no problem"
if Rowan Sr. handled the weapon.
Earlier, Rowan's son, Carl Jr
testified that twice in 1982 and
once when he was preparing to
leave the FBI in 1983 he was told
by police that he did not have to
register weapons he had pur-
chased tor personal use.
After telling police that other
members of his family might
handle the weapon, "they told me
that as long as it was where it
lawfully should be, if others have
Reynolds has said a firm bid
must be submitted by Oct. 14 or
he would order PTL's assets sold
to pay creditors, who are esti-
mated to be owed more than $130
million. He is expected to hold a
hearing on the bid in about a
month.
An assistant to Reynolds,
Susanne Robiscek said the judge
doesn't a have any comment" on
J
the offer.
PTL has been in bankruptcy
reorganization since June 1987.
Three months earlier, Bakker re-
signed after he admitted having a
sexual encounter with Jessica
Hahn in 1980 and disclosed that
money was paid to silence the
access to it, it isn't a problem
Rowan Jr. testified.
Rowan's attorney's have
maintained that the columnist
and his son were given inaccurate
advice by members of the police
department' s gun control unit
about the city's gun registration
policy, which stipulates that a
weapon can be used only by its
registered owner.
Police Inspector James R. Lev,
introduced by Rowan's attorney
as an expert witness on gun regis-
tration matters, said Tuesday that
while Rowan broke the law by
using the unregistered weapon,
he should no! have been prose-
cuted because he thought he was
acting in self-defense.
Detective Charles . Jones,
who arrived at Rowan's house
immediatelv after the June 14
shooting, told thecourt that a slid-
ing glass door at the rear of the
house showed signs that someone
had tried to force it open.
However, Jones could not say
when the door was damaeed
Rowan has said he shot Ben-
jamin Smith, 18, of Chevy Chase,
Md because he was afraid Smith
was trying to enter his house.
Smith, who was shot in the wrist,
has said he was trying to leave the
property when Rowan shot him.

Aaron Grubncr, Mernick's
attorney in Toronto, told The
Charlotte Observer last month
that Mernick wanted PTL because
"it's a large tract of land, and I'm
not sure those types of parcels are

Mernick, who entered the
negotiations a month ago, outbid
fellow Canadian Peter Thomas of
Vancouver. Thomas offered $113
million, $46 million of it in cash,
but not all would have been pay-
able until September 1989.
By signing Mernick's con-
tract, Benton agreed to stop nego-
tiating with any other bidders and
to file a motion with Bankruptcy
Judge Rufus Reynolds recom-
mending Mernick's offer by Fri-
day.
Other bidders may still pres-
ent offers directly to the court, but
Benton said his recommendation
gives Mernick the upper hand.

Two thumbs up for 'Carnival

Here, Lili, protra
v Chris Brown. (Ph
t production
ed by Nina
oto bv Mark
Something about going to the
theater is magical. Ot "Carnival"
this is doubly so.
Set in (what else?) a "Carni-
val the musical follows the ex-
periences and growth of a stun
ningly beautiful small town girl,
I ili (Nina Blanton), who comes to
the C irque de Paris looking tor a
friend of her recently deceased
lather.
Unfortunately tor the naive
1 ill. her lather's friend turns out
to be less help than she had hoped.
lo make matters worse, the poor
girl is spotted by the slick and
opportunistic magi ian Man n
the Magnificent (Jeffrey 1 largett),
who dazzles her with tricks and
invites her back to his trailer for a
spot ot lunch.
Fortunately for I ili (although
she doesn't see it ,h particularly
fortunate), she has also been spot
ted by Paul Berthalet (Stuart
Maxwell), a bitter ex-dancer
turned puppeteer, who tries des
peratelv to rescue her from
Marco's clutches without reveal
ing too mu h ol himself in the
process.
1 he greater portion ot the
show hu usses on Paul's inner
struggle as he tries to save Lili
from Marco. Marco is more expe-
rienced in wooing women, and he
finds iteasy toattract Lili with his
magic.
Paul, on the other hand, finds
that he cannot be as direct as the
magician. He can use his own
magic his delicate charm in
Lili only w hen deludes behind his
puppets. When he confronts her
face-to-face, he can show Lili
nothing but lus rage and frustra-
tion at his own inability to open
up to her. She interprets his feel
?ngs as anger towards her, and she
sees him as a monster. In tact,
without meaning to do so. Paul
almost drives Lili out of Marco's
arms and into those oi Paul's as-
sistant facquoi (Billy Sharpe).
Marco's assistant and oft be-
trayed lover, Rosalie (Janice
Schreiber), unwittingly helps
Paul. She, too, has a stake in de
fleeting Mano's attention away
from the lovely Lili. (Incidentally,
the hilarious scene between
Rosalie and the quintessential
ringleader Mr. Schlegel (Vandy
Behr), in which the pair drink and
sing to Marco's many mistresses,
is worth the price of admission in
itsell I
I he major problem with a
premise such as this is that it is too
easy to take the "sitcom ap-
proach to it to skim thesurface
not to probe too deeply Happily,
"( arnival ' avoids this trap It
walks a treacherous tightrope
without ever falling into the abyss
ol predictable shallowness on on
side or overblow n tearjerking on
theother It retains the semi mys-
tical atmosphere ol a v arnival
and combines it with deeply
moving human drama
Some of the best moments in
the play are those in w hich Mavis
Ray's skillful choreography

"Punchline" was presented
by TheStudcnt Union on Tuesday
night. Even after sitting on the
floor tor two hours, watching this
movie from an extreme angle and
straining to hear it over the
packed house in 1 lendrixTheatre,
1 was still able to thoroughly enjoy
it.
"Punchline" is a film about
two wanta - be comedians who
pel form nightly at a New York
(lub called The (ias Station.
I om 1 lanks, Sally Field and
flu- other twenty or so comics in
the movie- had everyone in the
audience laughing out loud.
Lilah Krysick is the mother
ot three-children who, against her
family's wishes, performs nightly
at comedy house. She wants so
desperately to be funny that she
secretly spends $500of the house-
hold cookie jar money on some
really bad jokes. After she realizes
she has wasted the money and the
jokes bomb on stage, she tries to
enlist Tom I kinks' character into
giving her a few pointers on how
to be- a better comedian.
Everyone agrees that
1 kinks' character, Steven Cold, is
the best comic at the club. After
flunking out of medical school
without the knowledge oi his fa-
ther (a heart surgeon), he spends
all ol his time performing and
perfecting his routine. The reason
that Cold is such a successful
comedian is that he is able to
apply his jokes to the audience
and the situation.
After he teaches Krysick
that everyone has the potential to
be funny, she is able to overcome
her insecurities and use- her own
life as a housewife and a mother.
She starts making up her own
material and becomes a sue cess at
The Gas Station.
In fact, she gets a little too
good, maybe even better than
Gold himself.
Tom 1 lanks deserves the
real credit for the best portrayal of
the life oi a lonely comedian 1 Ie
makes Cold more realistic by
showing how he uses humor to
hide his real feelings. He falls in
love with Lilah and after she fi-
nally convinces him that she re-
ally loves her husband , he makes
up jokes to try and hide the pain.
In one scene Cold's father
and brother show up at the club
unexpectedly, just before Gold is
getting ready to perform. He is
overcome with fear and the audi-
ence senses this. 1 le tries too hard

It there ever was a night to
forget about the drudgery of
homework and studying and ust
enjoy life, it was Monday night.
Why? Answer: UB40wasintown.
Playing their unique sound ol
reggae in Minges Coliseum,
I 'B40. in their firsl Greenville gig,
more than satisfied the swaying-
to-the-beat crowd.
By 9:30 p.m the white lights
shone on the smoke-filled stage.
And the stage came alive with the
sounds oi UB40.
Along with a good show of
reggae, IB40 brought with them a
great production which consisted
oi a three level stage, an adequate
light show and ot coursea reeling-
12-member band.
As expected, UB40 played all
oi their popular hits such as "Red
Red Wine" and "Rat in the
Kitchen" and "Maybe Tomor-
row" which is a single they re-
corded in ihc United Kingdom.
In "Sing Our Own Song off
their 1986 album "Rat in the
Kitchen UB40 demonstrated
they seek to end apartheid in
South Africa. "Sing Our Own
Song" is dedicated to the black
South Africans population who
have seen their leaders jailed and
their human rights disregarded.

san stopped during the song to
explain two key words in the lv r-
ics, "Amandla Awethu the Afri-
can words which mean the

The three-level stage was one
of the largest stages Minges has
ever set up for a band. C n the top
level, a fantastic three-member
hom section consisting of trum-
peter, saxaphone player and
trombone player, played in con-
stant choreographed motion
throughout the show.
Although the lighting equip-
ment was not elaborate, the tim-
ing oi lights added to the show's
effect. The light show especially
shined during "Red Red Wine
Everytime the chorus of "Red Red
Wine" came up, Minges was lit up
with bright red lights enabling
everyone to be seen.
A crowd of about 2,000
people attended the concert spon-
sored by Major Concerts Commit-
tee. 1 lowever, ECU student turn-
out could n't be compared to the
estatic high school fans. Although
the crowd was young in age. ev-
eryone seemed to enjoy the show
which was ev ident from the con-
stant dancing that occurred
throughout the show.
One possible reason for ECU
attendance being so lax could
have been because W ZMB wasoff
the air tor a week before the con-
cert and wasn't able to promote
the show as much a the station
wanted.
I B40 played for about 1 hour
and V minutes including a juic-
ing three song encore.
In opening tor UB40, Velvet

By SCOTT MAXWELL
Asi-t.int features KJilur
Something about going to the
theater is magical. Of "Carnival"
this is doubly so.
Set in (what else?) a "Carni-
val the musical follows the ex-
periences and growth of a stun-
ningly beautiful small-town girl,
Lili (Nina Blanton), who comes to
the Cirque dc Paris looking for a
friend oi her recently-deceased
father.
Unfortunately for the naive
Lili, her father's friend turns out
to be less help than she had hoped.
To make matters worse, the poor
girl is spotted by the slick and
opportunistic magician Marco
the Magnificent (Jeffrey 1 largett),
who dazzles her with tricks and
invites her back to his trailer for a
spot oi lunch.
Fortunately for Lili (although
she doesn't see it as particularly
fortunate), she has also been spot-
ted by Paul Berthalet (Stuart
Maxwell), a bitter ex-dancer
turned puppeteer, who tries des-
perately to rescue her from
Marco's dutches without reveal-
ing too much of himself in the
process.
The greater portion of the
show focusses on Paul's inner
struggle as he tries to save Lili
from Marco. Marco is more expe-
rienced in wooing women, and he
finds it easy to attract Lili with his
magic.
Paul, on the other hand, finds
that he cannot be as direct as the
magician. He can use his own
magic - his delicate charm on
Lili only when he hides behind his
puppets. When he confronts her
face-to-face, he can show Lili
nothing but his rage and frustra-
tion at his own inability to open
up to her. She interprets his feel-
ings asanger towards her,and she
sees him as a monster. In fact,
without meaning to do so, Paul
almost drives Lili out of Marco's
arms and into those of Paul's as-
sistant jacquot (Billy Sharpe).
Marco's assistant and oft-be-
trayed lover, Rosalie (Janice
Schreibcr), unwittingly helps
Paul. She, too, has a stake in de-
flecting Marco's attention away
from the lovely Lili. (Incidentally,
the hilarious scene between
Rosalie and the quintessential
ringleader Mr. Schlegel (Vandy
Behr), in which the pair drink and
sing to Marco's many mistresses,
is worth the price of admission in
itself.)
The major problem with a
premise such as this is that it is too
easy to take the "sitcom" ap-
proach to it ? to skim the surface;
not to probe too deeply. Happily,
"Carnival" avoids this trap. It
walks a treacherous tightrope
without ever falling into the abyss
of predictable shallowncss on on
side or overblown tearjerking on
the other. It retains the semi-mys-
tical atmosphere of a "Carnival"
and combines it with deeply
moving human drama.
Some of the best moments in
the play are those in which Mavis
Ray's skillful choreographv

'Invaders From Mars' remade
Continued from page 11
with an eerie grace and holds up
against anything Industrial Light
and Magic has produced. Deserv-
edly, the movie took an Oscar for
special effects. Watch it on tape or
TV if you get a chance, because the
"War of the Worlds" TV scries
premiering this month is a direct
sequel to this 1953 movie.
"Invaders From Mars"?
This remake of Menzies film suf-
fers in comparison to the original.
The producers have seemingly
tried to make a bad movie and
they've succeeded. It works nei-
ther as a piece of camp or affec-
tionate tribute. They also seem to
unfairly assume familiarity with
the original so you're in on the
joke (nudge, nudge; wink, wink)
that it'sall a dream. Well, now you
know. I'd prefer "Santa Claus
Conquers the Martians
"Santa Claus Conquers the
Martians"? I think the plot sums
this one all up: armed with dan-
gerous pop guns, the martians
arrive on earth at the height of the
holiday season to kidnap Santa to
placate their young who've
learned of the jolly old elf via TV
signals from earth. The earth
stands still when the govern-
ments learn of the outrage.
Not to worry: we knowbv the
title who comes out on top of this
one. Considered one of the worst
movies ever made, it is perhaps
ont up to Ed Wood, jrs high stan-
dards, but it has to be preferrable
to, say, Tobe Hooper's "Invaders
From Mars
"Superman" and "Superman
II" -Bet you don't normally go
around thinking of Superman as
an alien, hah? Well, he is and
there's plenty of invasion stuff
going on when the Phantom Zano
Williams arrive in part two. The
Saly kinds successfully translated
the scale and good natured naiv-
ety of the American comic book to
the screen in these efforts. A tricky-
task even they haven't gotten it
right since. 1 fere's wishing them
better luck on their "Superboy"
series premiering this month.
"Buckaroo Banzai"? stands
as a definition of cult film.
Buckaroo" doesn't quite succeed
in making the pulpserial hero
hip but it offers an 'official'
explanation to the story behind
Orson Welles' infamous broad-
cast. Art students should like it.
"Plan 9 From Outer Space
you couldn't make a funnier
movie if you tried, and, indeed,
Ed Wood, Jr was in dead earnest
over his tale of aliens, who having
Mayberiys "Aunt Bea" in a bit
part.
"Invasion of the Body Snatch-
ers"? Both versions of jack
Finney's novel are pretty good
although you'd refer the remake
if you lean toward the gross-out.
However, the 1956 original is
unrivaled in sheer claustrophobia
inducement. The greenhouse
scene alone is particularly unset-
tling.
"The Thing"? No contest be-
tween remake and original here.

transforms the stage into a surreal
min-or of the play's action. Bodies,
at first frozen, slowly start to
whirl; then the pace increases, the
music builds, and suddenly the
stage is alive with activity.
The production as a whole is
an ambitious one (referring tp the
work it took to put the show to-
gether, director Edgar Loessin
called it "a monster"), and it
seemed to suffer from what
jitters At times, the actors
seemed to be fighting to be heard
over the orchestra, and there were
a couple of minor technical diffi-
culties. Rest assured, however;
neither of these was a problem in
dress rehearsal and neither
should be a problem again, so the
remaining productions should be
flawless.
Opening night jitters aside,
the theater department has done a
marvelous job. Everyone in-
volved in "Carnival from the set
Maxwell termed "opening night designers to the lead characters,
deserves a standing ovation.
Though the show is not psy-
chological drama in the nature of,
say, Equus, "Carnivar's charac-
ters are realistic, and, better yet,
they are compellinglv and be-
lievably portrayed by the stu-
dents. "Carnival" is tender and
unashamed!v romantic.
See it. And, if possible see it
with someone you love.
Dime for thought

used 3,000 $1 bills to pay the
county taxes on his tool-rental
business, he thought his feelings
were clear and the matter was
closed.
But Clear Creek County
Treasurer Geraldine Thompson
may have upstaged Walters. She
returned his change of $110
mostly in nickels, dimes and
pennies.
"I guess he was just trying to
make a statement said

mean, turnabout is fair play

inmate dies
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) -
Clarence Carnes, the only inmate
survivor of a 1946 escape attempt
from Alcatraz that left seven
dead, died Monday in prison a
month before he was to be re-
leased. He was 61.
On July 6, 1945, Carnes was
sent to Alcatraz, the federal prison
island in San Francisco Bay. He
was 18, the youngest inmate ever
incarcerated there.
Early the next year, Carnes
was drawn into a daring escape
plot that quickly went awry. Two
guards were killed and several
were wounded.
The six inmates who partici-
pated got control of little more
than one cell house.
Poetry Forum
The ECU Poetry Forum will
meet Thursday night at 8 p.m. in
Menedenhall 248. Those wishing
to have their work read and cri-
tiqued should bring 8-10 copies of
their poem(s) to the meeting.
All students, faculty and local
citizens are invited to attend.
Punchline
Continued from page 11
to be funny and bombs terribly.
He starts crying on the stage and
you can feel his frustration and
pain in trying so hard just to make
these people laugh.
"Punchline" is a very funny
and realistic movie about stand-
up comedy. So if you're in the
mood for a few tears and a lot of
laughs, go see it when it hits the
theatres nationwide this week-
end.
sion is no great movie, it's more,
uh, engrossing than the 1951 ver-
sion.
"Howard the Duck"? Al-
though slammed by critics in their
ongoing fits of George Lucas'
bashing (induced, no doubt, as a
reaction to thier overrating of
"Return of the jedi"), "Howard"
was a well-crafted in-joketribute
to the genre. The Dark OverLord
special effect is great. The Lea
Thompson special effect is even
better.

'Trail of Tears' for 150 years
CHEROKEE, N.C. (AP) -
The leaves on the Qualla Bound-
ary reservation have changed
color 150 times since most of the
Cherokee nation was forced to
leave here in a wintry march that
became known as "the Trail of
Tears" because 4,000 Indians
died during it.
This week, representatives
of Cherokee Nation of Okla-
homa came here to join the East-
ern Band of Cherokee Indians,
those who stayed behind, in
marking the 150th anniversary
of the forced march. At the gath-
ering, it was evident that the
leaves are not the only things
that have changed.
Instead of skins and feath-
ers, the Indians wore dark busi-
ness suits. Rather than discuss-
ing the threat of the white settler,
they talked, about economic
development. And the western
Cherokees have a woman chief.
The Cherokee people have
grown since the removal said
Jonathan Taylor, chief of the
Eastern Band, which inhabits
the 56,000-acre Qualla Bound-
ary.
'Throughout history, the
Cherokees have always tried to
do something better he said,
The News k Record of Greens-
boro reported. "And now our
people have the ability to go
themselves and get things
done
The 9,000-member Eastern
Band evolved from about 1,400
Cherokees who refused the
government's order to relocate
in 1838. Instead, they hid in
North Carolina's mountains.
The Western band of Cher-
okees has 92,000 members, sec-
ond only to the Na vahos. It is led
by Wilma Mankiller, the tribe's
first woman chief.
Gov. Jim Martin told about
750 Indians at Cherokee High
School that the gathering should
be a reminder "so that none of us
should ever forget what hap-
pened here
rhe tribes used the gathering
Monday and Tuesday to "inspire
both remembrance and reflec-
tion on determination and
achievements said Ross Swim-
mer, once the Western Band's
chief and now assistant secretary
for Indian affairs in the U.S. De-
partment of the Interior.
"It shows we can overcome
difficulties to come back together
Swimmer said.
In two days of joint councils of
the Eastern and Western bands,
the Cherokees passed resolutions
to support an alternate to the wil-
derness bill introduced by Sen.
Terry Sanford; to support legisla-
tion that would encourage eco-
nomic development by Indians; to
ask for a new formula for road-
funding apportionment; to sup-
port amendments to the federal
defense appropriations bill; and to Boundary's 2,400 homes are gov-
ask for funding of more teachers
aides positions.
"But I know when I look at
these hills, we all originated here
The gathering gave 70-year-
old Walker Calhoun of Cherokee a
chance to revive the Green Corn
Dance on the reservation for the
ernment subsidized, and about 50
percent of its students drop out of
school after the sixth grade.
Even the annual fall festival
that opened during the celebration
is a telling sign - a last grasp at
summer's tourists, who fuel 90
first time in 50 years. Calhoun said percent of the reservation's econ-

should keep.
One of the grandsons, 15-year-
old Bob Raines, said he believes a
sense of heritage is returning
among young Indians on the reser-
vation.
"It makes you proud to be able
to share in something so old
Raines said.
While the focus of the gather-
ing was hope, there remains a dark
side. In addition to the historical

As on most reservations, un-

ortimer Adler doesn t care
CHAPEL HILL, NC. (AD -
In 1492, Columbus set sail for the
new world. In 1789, French citi-
zens stormed the Bastille, setting
off the revolution. In 1863, Gen.
Robert E. Lee's Confederate army
was defeated at Gettysburg.
Who cares? Many students
don't. And neither does veteran
educator Mortimer Adler.
Facts are not important,
Adler said Tuesday.
"If I'm interested in the battle
of Shiloh, 1 can go to the encyclo-
pedia and look it up' he said.
But Adler is not about to let
students off the hook.
Thinking and understanding
are what get you along in the
world, he said.
And that is what Adler, chair-
man of the board of editors of
Encyclopedia Britannica, hopes to
accomplish with his Taideia con-
cept. Adler was on the UNC cam-
pus for several educational semi-
nars this week.
Earlier this summer, UNC
was selected as the headquarters
tcMbbtoteateMMi Center for the
Faideia Program. The center will
provide training for teachers and
coordinate efforts to spread the
Paideia concept to the nation's
schools. Previously, the center
was based in Chicago, Adler's
home.
The Paideia Program has
been in use for about four years,
he said.Paideia is Greek for the
upbringing of a child.
Adler's program focuses on
what children will learn. Instead
of the traditional lecture format,
Socratic questioning in seminar
discussions is emphasized. Stu-
dents also are coached in the skills
of learning.
All children are educable,
Adler said, and thev all deserve
the same quality of education.
Patricia Weiss, director o( the
UNC center, said the type of infor-
mation a student receives in the
traditional classroom format are
facts that are forgotten as soon as
the next test is over.
Over the course of a lifetime,
most people remember only one-
tenth of the facts that they once
knew well enough to pass an
exam, Adler said.
The quality of education in
America has declined since edu-
cators decided early in this cen-
tury to educate all Americans,
Alder said. But he doesn't suggest
that the decision was wrong.
No country has tried to do
what the U.S. has attempted to do,
he said. The educators just don't
know how to do it"
Adler's views have not en-
deared him to the educational
establishment, he said. The
Paideia concept is a slap in the
face to the schools of education, he
said.
Teachers from these schools
often resist these new methods,
Ms. Weiss said. The teachers,
however, often eventually be-
come the program's biggest sup-
porters, she said. This is especially
true when the teachers realize that
they no longer must have all the
right answers.
Sheria Reid, an English
teacher at Chapel Hill High
School, agrees. Ms. Reid has in-
corportated as much of Paideia
method into her class room as
possible, she said.
"It's very relaxing to say 'I
don't know, let's find out to-
gether Ms. Reid said.
Fifty-minute class periods
make it impossible to impose the
concept in full, she said. Adler
says seminars must be two hours
or longer to be completely effec-
tive.
Initial resistance often comes
from teachers and students, Ms.
Reid said. Teachers have been
taught to group students by abil-
ity, she said. But the Paideia pro-
gram stresses the need for all stu-
dents to be given the same chance
with the same material.
Leading a seminare discus-
sion is also difficult because a
teacher has to develop open-
ended questions, Ms. Reid said.
Students often oppose the
program at first because they are
not accustomed to dealing with
questions that have no concrete
answers, she said.
"As students continue with it
and begin to trust the teacher,
they enjoy it she said. "It's a
chance for them to talk and feel
like experts

Pirates face a tough foe
Reggie McKinney turns the corner under hot pursuit from
the Mountaineer defense during last season's match-up.
By DOUG JOHNSON
Sports Kditor
The West Virginia Mountain-
eers will bring a 5-0 record and a
number eight ranking with them
when they come into Ficklen Sta-
dium Saturday to play the Firatcs.
The Mountaineers have
rolled up impressive point totals
in beating Bowling Green 62-14,
Cal State Fullerton 45-10, Mary-
land 55-24, Pitt 31-10, and Vir-
ginia Tech, who defeated ECU
earlier this season, 22-10. They
average 43 points per game, while
allowing an average of only 13
points.
"This is not a good team for us
to have to bounce back against
said Pirate Coach Art Baker at a
press conference earlier this
week. 'They are a very talented
football team. If you look at West
Virginia physically, 1 don't know
if there's another team in the
United States that would com-
pare
On the offensive side of the
ball for the Mountaineers, the
Pirates will have to be very con-
cerned about the abilities of quar-
terback Major Harris. "Major
Harris is only one of the people on
that team who is outstanding
Baker said of the Mountaineer. "1
think his performance against us
last year helped him on his way to
being a great quarterback. Since
then, his career has really taken
off
Five games into the
Mountaineer's season, Harris has
completed 36 of 64 passes for 672
yards and three touchdowns,
being intercepted five times. He is
also the teams second-leading
rusher with 259 yards on 45 car-
ries for two touchdowns.
"They are intimidating on
defense, and on offense they are
power-oriented, throwing and
running the option, keeping you
off-balance Baker said.
Another player to watch out
for on offense will be Anthonv
Brown, the Mountaineers lead-
ing rusher. Brown has carried the
ball 91 times on the season for 524
yards and six touchdowns. The
Mountaineers average 302.8
yards per game rushing, and have
a total offensive average of 487
yards per game, while only allow-
ing a 287 yard per game average.
On defense, the Mountain-
eers can strike from a number of
positions. Linebacker Renaldo
Turnbull is the leading tackier for
West Virginia. After five games
Turnbull has forty tackles, includ-
ing 32 solos. He also has five sacks
for -44 yards and three pass de-
flections. Alvoid Mavs, a defen-
sive back, has amassed three in-
terceptions so far, and strong
safety Bo Orlando has picked off
two balls, returning one for a 56-
yard touchdown.
Another important part of the
Mountaineer squad is kicker
Charlie Bauman, who kicked
three fiel goals last week against
Virginia Tech. Bauman is nine for
10 on field goals on the year, with
a perfect three-for-three from 40-
49 yards.
Commenting on the Pirates
Baker said, "Our offense has per-
formed well. We had ust a couple
of breakdowns against South-
western Louisiana, but other than
that, I'm pleased with their per-
formance.
"On defense, we arc trying to
make whatever changes are nec-
essary. Part of it is physical We
are just being outmanncd. An-
other part is mental We don't
have great senior leadership on
the defensive side of the ball
Kobe honored
Swim team looks to win
By KRISTEN HA LB ERG
?Vssistant Sports tditor
The East Carolina Swim and
Dive team gets its first taste oi
action today at 4 p.m. in Minges
Coliseum as they compete in in-
tra squad action in the Pentath-
lon.
In the Pentathlon, each swim-
mer has the opportunity to swim
five events; the 200-yard individ-
ual medley, 100-yard butterfly,
100-yard breaststroke, 100-yard
freestyle and 100-yard back-
stroke, even though they might
not specialize in that particular
event.
"It'sanopportunitv to see the
kids swim everything Coach
Rick Kobe said.
Coach Kobe uses the Pentath-
lon to watch the swimmers com-
pete in something other than the
event they usually compete in.
"This enables us to observe
talent in the swimmer that we
might not have known about be-
fore Kobe said. "It is also a step-
ping stone for picking the travel-
ing team. The Pentathlon will give
us a good indication oi where we
are in our training
Awards will be given out to
anyone who sets Pentathlon rec-
ords. Last year George Walters
broke the record in the 100-vard
backstroke with a time of 55.97.
Ravmond Kennedv set a record at
101.37 in the 100-yard
breaststroke and Meredith Bridg-
ers also pulled through with a
record in the 100-yard
breaststroke with a time of 101.16.
Kennedy will be the one to
beat this year, as he captured last
year's Pentathlon crown with a
total of 2795 points.
For the ladies, Ryan Philyaw
should be watched, as she won
the Pentathlon last year with 3188
points.
When asked about the season
ahead. Kobe remained optimistic.
"We've been spoiled Kobe
said. "We really haven't had a bad
season. Tins should be an excel-
lent year for us
The men have 12 returning
swimmers to the ECU program
and, of those 12, all were confer-
ence finalists last year. The ladies
are just as strong with all seven of
their returning swimmers confer-
ence finalists as well.
"I'm anticipating our finest
year yet, but it is a long season
said Kobe.

Rick Kobe, coach of the ECU
Swim Team, has been awarded
the title of Master Coach by the
College Swimming Coach Asso-
ciation of America.
This award, presented at the
1988 World Swim Clinic in San
Francisco, is one of the highest
honors in coaching collegiate
level swimming as a mere 10-1?
percent of college coaches actu-
ally receive an award of Master
Coach.
"I was verv honored Kobe
said proudly.
In order to be eligible for the
award of Master Coach, certain
criteria had to be met. First, any-
one considered had to have
coached at least 10 years in col-
lege.
Next, a coach must be a
member of the College Swim-
ming Coach Association oi Amer-
ica and be in good standing.
Third, a coach must win at
least 50 percent of all dual meets
(Kobe has an impressive 97-46
record since coming to ECU).
Fourth, a coach had to win a
conference championship (the
men's team won the conference in
1986).
Then, a coach had to produce
an Olympic team member (Kobe
had a former ECU swimmer swim
Rick Kobe
for the Peruvian team in the I 84
Olympics at Los Angeles).
And finally, a coach must
have conducted and attended
various swim clinics

ECU looks for winning years
By DAVID MONROE
Staff Writer
Througout the past five years
since the incredible 8-3 team that
brought pride, enthusiasm, and
respect to East Carolina Univer-
sity, ECU has been tortured by the
"almosts" and "What-ifs Many
blame the hell-bent scheduling by
the Athletic Office, while others
contend that the coaching staff,
through mindless decisions, have
brought this unbearable doom.
Some individuals even place
blame on the departure of Pat
Dye, the legendary ECU football
coach of the 70's and early 80's.
To be honest, I guess they all
are responsible in one way or
another. Sure, had Pat Dye not
decided to go to Auburn to build
his powerhouse of the South, East
Carolina University might have
continued their winning ways (by
1983, East Carolina had recorded
their tenth winning season in
twelve years; a feat that at that
time was unsurpassed by any
other school in the state of North
Carolina). Also, I guess if ECU
had decided to stay a Division I-
AA school and play ball with the
little guys they would have con-
tinued to prove to be a power-
house themselves.
The realism though, is that

said Charlie Carr, ECU's Associ-
ate Athletic Director and secre-
tary of the Pirate Club. "And now
we'd like to do something for
them to show our appreciation.
"We think this will be a great
opportunity for players from dif-
ferent ECU teams from years past
to get together and reminisce
Among those that have
committed early to play in the
game are Butch Davis (1978-80),
who played the final portion of
the 1988 season with the Balti-
more Orioles. Richard "Rooster"
Narron (1966-67) is a former ma-
jor league standout who has also
indicated that he will play.
Several members of the 1986
team that finished with a school
record 40 victories have commit-
ted, including Winfrcd Johnson,
who set an NCAA record by hit-
ting 70 career home runs and
pitching 35 career victories.
Since 1961, ECU has ap-
peared in the NCAA playoffs 10
times, won six Southern Confer-
ence championships, three
ECAC-South championships and
one Colonial Athletic Association
title. Prior to joining the NCAA
ranks, the Pirates won an NAIA
national title in 1961 and finished
third in the national NAIA tour-
nament in 1963.
More than 50 former ECU
players have gone on to sign pro-
fessional baseball contracts.
"We are very excited about
hosting the Classic and want to
make it an annual event ECU
head baseball coach Gary Over-
ton said. "I think you'll see a lot of
talent out there, but you'll also see
a great deal of laughs. And that's
what it's all about
The Ramada Inn of
Greenville announced last week
that it is a proud sponsor of the
Old Timers Classic and will also

Pirate's Booty Pirate's Booty
By DOUG JOHNSON
Sportt Kditor
If I may, I would like to tell '
vou all a storv. I was at the ECU-
J J
USL football game, covering it for
the ever popular East Carolinian
Things were going pretty good,
and the Pirates were holding their
own, when Art Baker decided to
give Charlie Libretto, who had
done quite a bit of running, a
break. In came Travis Hunter.
And up started the boos. To say I
was mad would be an understate-
ment. To say I was disappointed
could be placed in the same con-
text.
I couldn't understand how a
group of die-hard Pirate fans
could be booing a decision to rest
a quarterback who had been run-
ning a lot in 85 degree weather, by
putting in a quarterback who had
been a two-year starter up until
that game. Travis Hunter, in only
his junior season, is highly ranked
in all of the Pirate passing statis-
tics, and is expected to move into
the number one slot in most of
these before he graduates. He
helped lead the Pirates to a re-
spectable 5-6 finish last year, and
was intrumental in the Pirate's
season opening win over Tennes-
see Tech. Sure Travis has made
some mistakes, but who hasn't?
And to those who added their
voices to the mindless display of
idiodicy, did you think that your
actions would help improve
Travis' level of play?
Another thing that bothered
me was the fact that, when Travis
has needed a break in past games
and Libretto came in to spell him,
was his entrance met by boos? Not
that 1 can remember. So why
should it be the other way
around?
In a post-game press confer-
ence, Coach Baker was asked his
reaction to the booing. "I'm just
terribly disappointed he said. "I
don't mind anybody disagreeing
with me and my decisions, but
Travis Hunter has given as much
as anybody on this team, and it
really hurts me deep down to hear
all the comments that are being
made about him.
"We feel as if we have a class
program here, with class people
in it, and I know every one of these
young men, and they're great
young men
"I think it was pathetic said
Charlie Libretto of the incident,
"coming from East Carolina fans.
I was really hurt, 1 felt bad. be-
cause I think that brought me
down, and 1 want everyone to
know that it hurt me as much as it
had to have hurt Travis. 1 think
that if you're going to be East
Carolina fans,then you have to go
with the whole team, and not just
one person
"Travis has done nothing but
great things for this team farrod
Moody added, 'and the reaction
was a surprise to me. The coach-
ing staff and the players were
shocked. We expect a lot more

trom our fans, and you have to
stick behind a guv. We stick be-
hind our players 100 no matter
who it is, and it really hurt us all
I was listening to the Art
Baker show Sunday night, and I
heard a so-called 'fan call in and
tell Baker that the fans were boo-
ing his decision to put Travis in,
not booing Travis himself. This is
a lame excuse. What's the differ-
ence? Either way. Hunter still had
to feel the sting of the boos from
the people who were supposed to
be supporting him.
Don't get me wrong. I don't
agree with all of the calls that
Baker makes. And I'm just as tired
of seeing the Pirates lose as any-
one here. 1 came to ECU in 1984,
right after the 8-3 season. I saw
two 2-9 seasons drag by, in addi-
tion to last year's losing season,
and this year's poor start. So I've
seen as many losses as anybodv
But I don't think that I could use
that as an excuse for hurting a
player's pride and confidence.
You may not agree with my
reasoning, and that's your right
But 1 hope that the next time you
feel a need to express vour high-
handed indifference and insensi-
tivity, you will first consider the
feelings of the one you are about
to hurt. Remember, "Walk a mile
in my hightops or whatever that
saying is.

Return to greatness
Continued from page 16
this is 1988 and not 1983. East
Carolina had a decision to make
long before Pat Dye ever left? to
develop a football program with
the caliber of players that would
be able to compete on a national
level against established Division
l-A schools. When you consider
that East Carolina has been an
"established" University since
1967 and an NCAA Division I-A
athletic program since 1976, I
hardly think you can call East
Carolina University an estab-
lished football program.
In order for a football pro-
gram to develop into a nationally
recognized organization it must
be treated delicately during its
growing years. Unfortunately for
East Carolina University, it must
endure the agony of having to
play with the "big-boys" while
still only a child. Sure, playing the
likes of LSU, Auburn, Penn State,
Florida, Miami, Florida State, and
South Carolina would wreck
havoc with anyone's schedule. In
fact, since 1983 East Carolina is 0-
17 against these seven schools.
Some may ask, Just how
long does it take for a program to
develop? Twelve years?" I cannot
answer that question, but I can say
that ECU will have its share of
hard times, and that sacrifices
must be made. Winning pro-
grams do not pop up over night.
They take time, hard-work, and
determination a determination
to improve.
As evident by the past two
seasons, ECU has continued to
improve. Although posting a 2-9
record in 1986, a 5-6 record in
1987, and currently riding a 1-4
record in 1988, ECU has im-
proved. In 1986, ECU's chances
against the top schools were slim;
to survive was enough to hope
for. By 1987, ECU started to show
glimpses of good things to come,
but still a few mistakes here and
there prevented a true showing.
In 1988, ECU has met the opposi-
tion head on.
Although the East Carolina
football team is 1-4, they have
been in a position to win in each of
the four games in which they lost;
more than can be said for the pre-
vious three years. In any of those
games, had a series of plays went
in ECU's favor, East Carolina
University would be 5-0 (that in-
eludes an impressive, hard-
fought battle against then 14th
ranked South Carolina; a team
ECU has never beaten).
Against South Carolina
(USC), the defense was fine tuned
as they held USC to 49 yards rush-
J -
ing and Todd Ellis, a Heisman
candidate, to a less than 50 per-
cent pass completion rate, but the
offense was unable to get on
track?scoring wise that is. Actu-
ally, ECU had its way with USC as
they pushed them up and down
the field throughout the game.
In ECU's last two games they
have averaged over 500 yards
total offense while putting an as-
tonishing 74 points on the score-
board against two teams consid-
ered by many to be Top-20 caliber.
Unfortunately, a defense that al-
lows the opposition to average
over 500 yards total offense and 46
points a game tarnishes the
achievements of being garnered
by the offense. In order for ECU to
win, it must click on both cylin-
ders.
With West Virginia, Florida
State, Syracuse, and Miami still to
be played, ECU must continue to
show improvement. During any
of these games if both the offense
and defense play to their poten-
tial, ECU will land the biggest
victory in this schools history.
What is needed now more than
ever before is the support of the
Pirate faithful the diehard who
battles to the end of every game,
cheering on the Pirates, regard-
less of the score and not the way-
side weekend fan who looks for
the gates as soon as the Pirates fall
behind and who seeks to criticize
the efforts of the Athletic Office,
the coaching staff, and the team
itself. A new attitude needs to
grow at East Carolina . . . one of
pride, determination, and enthu-
siasm. Given a chance, ECU will
prevail. But short-term losses
must be endured in order to en-
sure long-term success.
Let us start the tradition now,
not next year. Turn out in force for
the pep-rally tonight (Thursday)
at Ficklen Stadium and for the
game on Saturday against West
Virginia. Show your pride, deter-
mination, and enthusiasm for
East Carolina Universitv. Let it be
known that this school will not
roll over and die.
