c hanging admission stan-
dards tor incoming freshmen will
put a dent in EC I 's reputation as
the easy university to gain accep-
tance to.
I he admissions standards are
being raised tor incoming fresh-
men for fall 1990and will possibly
be raised again tor the freshmen of
1991.
1 r. Ihomas Powell, director
ot admissions, said, "Last August
the Chancellor and 1 met nol
agreed to raise the minimum (SA11
by 50 points. The minimum

vear 5ince the admissions office
works a year ahead of the regular
university schedule, he said the
S I requirements may be raised
another 30 points for the freshmen
of 1991
Powell said most of the appli-
cants to ECU are either clearly
admissible or inadmissible, and
only these few in between candi-
dates are the ones that go through
the scrutiny and fine selection
process.
According to Powell, the uni-
versity is most concerned with the
high school class rank of students
because it is the best prediction of
success or failure in college 1 he
difficulty level of classes taken in
high school playsan important role
in acceptance to the university,
whereas SA 1 scores are a less
important factor.
We feel we are able to attract
students who tnav have a greater
potential tor success said Pow-
ell lie said they rotor many stu-
dents to the community colleges
where they can overcome any
deficiencies they may have before
transferring to ECU.
EC U does not want to be a
highly selective school, but is be-
coming more choosy in the com-
ing years. Powell said ECU is ,n
institution ot access and should be
accessible to the people of North
Carolina.
Shannon Copeland, a senior,

a good idea. We can't expect to be
competitive with other universi-

Tuscaro Indian
fort excavated

ECU News Bureau
Deep in a cornfield, nestled in a bend of curving Contentnea Creek
near Snow I fill, archaeologists are excavating for the first time the site
of an Indian fort where the proud Tuscaroras made a last stand nearly
three centuries ago.
Earlier this month, archaeologists from ECU's summer field school
began peeling thin layers of earth from a series of shallow trenches and
sitting the soil for early 18th century artifacts.
A pattern of post holes ? dark stains in the subsoil ? emerged and
seem to confirm old stories and local legend that this was the place the
Native Americans called "Noo-He Roo Ka where the last battle of the
Tuscarora War was fought. Until now, the site had never been verified
officially nor investigated professionally.
"We're almost 100 percent certain of the exact site, within an area
marked off with rows of orange stakes, says Dr. David Phelps, director
of ECU's summer archaeology field program. "The evidence is here and
it is relatively undisturbed.

the dangerous effects ot harmful
ultraviolet rays.
? When using oils, lotions
and sunscreens be sure to use the
correct SPF (Sun Protection Fac
tor) for your skin type SPF on the
tanning product's label provides
an indication ot how long you can
stav in the sun alter applying it

Read Along with Rita Long
Rita gives advice about relationships
Dear Rita:
1 am engaged to be married
after my graduation in May of
WW. However, my fiance and I
want to be married sooner, but my
father will only give his blessings
after my graduation. How can 1
convince mv father that I'm ready
for marriage now? His blessing is
important to us, but I feel he is
being stubborn.
Signed.
Engaged
Dear Engaged:
It mav be beyond you to con-
vince your rather against his will.
You can tell him how vou feel and
just hope and pray that he will
understand. If he does not and
you are seeking his approval in
this matter, then Mav, 1991 is not
very far off.
Dear Rita:
1 have been dating the same
guy for about three years. In the
beginning of our relationship,
everything was great, but last year
he had an affair. He finally broke
it off with her, but since then things
have been shaky with us. 1 know
he likes me but he won't make any
commitment. I really like this guy,
but I'm getting tired of waiting.
What should I do?
Signed,
Tired
Dear Tired:
Lifeis full of choicesand many
of the choices that we make leave
others behind. Go with what you
are convinced of. What else can
you do? After you have evaluated
and assessed thisrelationship,and
i f after three years, things are shaky
and there is no commitment, it's
probably best for you to go on
with your life.
Dear Rita:
One of my best friends from
high school, who now lives in
another state and attends another
university, came to visit me dur-
ing spring break. We grew up
together and were always close.
During the visit, we went out to a
bar. Mv fnend met a guv and a
few minutes later she told me she
was going outside fora little while.
It turned out she was going to do
a "bump" of cocaine. As far as I
ca n tell, it seems she's getting more
and more of the stuff. She's a re-
ally good friend and I don't want
to tell her what to do; however, I
don't want her to get in any trouble
either. What should I do?
Signed,
Friend
Dear Friend:
To have a close friend using
cocaine, while you are not, is
dangerous. Whoever has the
stronger influence among the two
of you will influence the other. If
you try to convince your friend to
stop using cocaine and get help
and she does not want that help,
then eventually you may be
tempted to join her because of the
"close" relationship. It would be
wise to stay your distance if she
chooses not to change.

ECU art graduate student receives award for artistic achievement
By Colleen Kirkpatrick
Sjff Writer
ECU art graduate student,
Lisa Brantlev, received a $500 arts
materials award in recognition of
outstanding artistic achievement
this April.
Through the Liquitex Art
Materials Awards program, Bin-
ney and Smith Inc. rewarded 10
art students throughout the United
States and Canada.
Based on recommendations
from the art department supervi-
sor, ECU submitted the work of
one graduate student and two
undergraduate students for con-
sideration. The submissions were
evaluated bv Liquitex Fine Arts
Advisory Council. The judging
was based on quality, use of tech-
nique and media as demonstrated
in the student's work.
Brantlev refers to her paint-
ingsas "Figuresin Environments

in the Liquitex Art Materials

ings are related to one another.
"I started off doing self por-

started grad school, I started to
experiment with the imagination
rather than directly from life She
said there is a certain excitement
that comes from working with the
imagination because you don't
know what is going to become of
it until it is finished.

taking. "We'll go as far as we can
this summer and, we hope, come
back next year he said.
Artifacts in plentiful supply
have been found by local collec-
tors for years and include beads,
peach pits, remains of dried peas
and other food stores, and pieces
of pottery. One such collector,
Larry Pait of Snow Hill, is work-
ing with the ECU crew "lending
his knowledge of the site Phelps
said.
On a recent afternoon, a
digger's trowel turned up a frag-
ment of cannon ball. "Hollow

caroras modeled their fort after
English fortifications of that day.
While thev work uncovering
basic knowledge about warfare in
colonial times, massive, modern
warplanes from nearby Seymour
Johnson Air Force Base at
Goldsboro soar into the sky at fre-
quent intervals, a constant re-
minder of present day realities.
On three days in March, 1713,
according to contemporary ac-
counts, 8(X) or more Tuscarora
warriors held out against an as-
sault on "Noo-He Roo Ka" until
they were killed or captured. The
colonists were led by soldiery
commanded bv Col. James Moore,
an Indian fighter from the Ocu-
mulgee region in Georgia.
One of Moore's officers left a
map, strikingly accurate in con-
figuration and topography, which
helped ECU researchers and oth-
ers pinpoint the site on the creek
bend a few miles from this county
seat town. The map that dates from
the rimeof the battle unfortunately
does not state its scale.
The defeat at "Noo-He Roo
Ka" broke the power of the Tus-
carora and ended two years of
warfare against encroaching colo-
nists. The colonial surveyor-gen-
eral, John Lawson, was among
those captured and slain during
the raiding that went on.
The end of the Tuscarora War
opened present-day North Caro-
lina for colonization from the coast
to the Blue Ridge Mountains, ac-
cording to Dr. Henry Ferrell, pro-
fessor of history and director of
ECU's Institute for Historical and
Cultural Research. Phelps is co-
director of the Institute.
Ferrell said the Tuscaroras
who survived the fighting and
even more deadly ravages of dis-
ease were removed from North
Carolina and by 1722 had joined
the Six Nations of the lroquois in
New York and Canada. The site of
the last battle on Contentnea Creek
slipped into obscurity.
In the early 18th century, the
Professor
Tuscaroras numbered more than
12,000 and lived in 15 communal
villages in fertile, game-rich lands
watered by numerous streamsand
swamps between the Tar and
Neuse Rivers. Since that time,
researchers learned, Contentnea
Creek cu t another course along its
twisting route to the Neuse and
this made locating the si teof "Noo-
He Roo Ka" even more difficult.
A state highway marker not-
ing the approximate location of
the site is on the nearest paved
road, but the site itself is on farm-
land owned by George and Henry
Mewbom of Greene County.
The ECU archaeological re-
search this year is funded in part
by a grant from the Quadrangle
Medical Foundation, Phelps said.
The team includes Phelps and
graduate assistants John E. Byrd
of Boone and Rex A. McDonald of

Newport, and students Virginia

Makuck said his arrival in
eastern North Carolina rekindled
his love for the water. One of the
first things he did was buy a boat.
It was one of the 12-foot rubber-
ized, inflatable, go-any-where craft
with a 16 h.p. engine. On a fishing
trip into the Atlantic Ocean he
hooked the side of the boat which
immediately brought a hiss of
rushing air. A finger in the tear
and a full throttle race back to
shore prevented the accident from
becoming more serious.
He traded the inflatable in on
a larger, more solid fishing boat.
The boat can take him into such
fast action and treacherous places
as the narrows of Bogue Inlet.
He said that while he is in
Utah he will try to assemble an-
other collection of short stories
from the ones that have already
been published in magazines. He
also plans to take a lot of notes on
his experiences in Utah.
"Once I get back to Greenville
I'll have a trove of western mate-
rial that I can start using that will
ultimately start coming out in
stories and poems he said.
But he's unsure if the moun-
tains and deserts of Utah will stir
the same feelings he gets from the
meandering waterways of east-
em North Carolina and the surg-
ing rolls of the Atlantic ocean.

Is desecration of The Flag wrong?
It requires no courage to support a ban on
flag "desecration" (as if a flag were some sacred
object that could be profaned) in America. On the
other hand, it requires no pa rticular courage to oppose
one. either. America is the land ot relatively painless
dissent, which is supposed to be the point of the First
Amendment.
But it America is to remain the land of rela-
tively painless dissent, where if you disagree with
the majority you risk unpopularity but not punish-
ment, then there can be no law against desecrating
the flag.
Why should we even want such a law? 1 las
fabric suddenly become a vitallv important item?
Has there been some recent rash of dangerous Sa-
tanic flag-burning rituals?
If so, that's not the reasoning espoused by
supportersoftheban.Theyclaim society has interest
in protecting those things held dear by the majority.
But from what, or from whom, must we
"protect" the flag? It's not as if there were onlv one of
them, a single national relic which, once gone, can
never be replaced. The flag is a concept, an arrange-
ment of certain colors in a rectangular area. As such,
while a particular flag may be burned ? that is, a
pieceofclothdyed incertaincolorsmavbeburned ?
more copies o( the flag can be made quite easily.
And it's not as if the flag were public prop-
erty. Or, more precisely, while the flag ? the concept
? mav be public property, a physical copy of that
flag is not necessarily public property, just as a copy
of the Washington Monument may be privately
owned. And a person may burn anything he himself
owns ? be i t a copy of the Washington Monument or
a copy of the flag.
Of course, anti-flag-desecrationists are not
really concerned with protecting flags, conceptual or
actual. They're concerned with protecting their deli-
cate sensibilities from others who are, usually, delib-
erately offending those sensibilities in order to make
some point. And the anti-flag-desecrationists genu-
inely see no harm in using the power at their com-
mand to ban what they see as flag mutilation
But that's just the problem: they don't see the
harm. To be fair, it's difficult for anyone to see the
harm in a law that bans some activity he doesn't want
to take part in anyway, especially when what's
banned is something he finds offensive.
The harm. then, tor those who need the point
clearly made, is this: a law that bans flag desecration
seriously threatens that treasured quality of America
mentioned at the outset of this editorial ? namely,
that America is the land ot relatively painlessdissent.
In America, unlike China, demonstrating against the
government is not supposed to net you a jail term
Severe limits on the majority's power to curtail the
expression of minority viewpoints have greatly aided
important advances in human rights, most notablv
the rights oi blacks and women. And any measure
that increases the majority's power in this respect is
equally loathsome and equally dangerous ? and is
far more abhorrent than, sav, burning a flag.
That's not to say there would be no good at
all in a law banning flag desecration. There's some
good in nearly anything. At least the two rounds oi
national debate sparked by the Supreme Court's
rulings on such laws have illuminated the two bask
views of patriotism in this country. One view prizes
symbols and forced respect for them, even to the
exclusion oi the freedoms for which the symbols
stand and because oi which thev warrant respect.
The other view recognizes the value of symbols and
respect, and further recognizes that a truly free coun-
try does not punish citizens who destroy or defile
those symbols ? in other words, that a trulv free
country must allow painless dissent.

Scientist now lack objectivity
By Nathaniel Mead
Editorial Columnist
Modern science prides itself
on objectivity, on unbiased or
uncompromised judgment. Based
on this cornerstone oi scientific
values, lavpeople tend to place
greater faith in the pronounce-
ments of scientists than of say,
lawyers, politicians, or salesmen
But these days scientific objectiv-
ity is sometimes invoked more for
appearance than for the substance
of impartial analysis. In such case's
the motive is usually greed-based.
Thus, some scientists are exces-
sively profiteering at heart.
They're paid handsomely to pres-
ent and defend a certain view,
oftentimes ignoring even the most
forcible contradictory evidence.
It's a touchy issue for many scien-
tists, and a rather despicable state
of al i i rs for t hose a w are the prob-
lem who have chosen to steerclear
of corruption.
Many companies are now
recruiting academic scientists
whose opinions thev like, and
whose credibility in the public eye
far exceeds that ot an explicitly
corporate team of scientists. ! he
company hires these scientists as
consultants or sponsors their re-
search. They may use them as
public mouthpieces to sell the
corporate line in public debate and
perpetuate popular myths like
"milk does a body good or
"nuclearpowerischeapand sate "
Whenever profits are threatened
by lawsuits, legislation, or bad
press coverage, the university sci-
entists are sought to bolster the
companies' positions. Often the
financial tie remains hidden, .mJ
scientists whose positions oppose
the company's are never heard
By denying some scientific opin-
ions, the "corporate scientist'
phenomenon has grave repercus-
sions for society at large.
A prime example of "science
for hire" is Harvard's Fred Stare, a
long-time consultant to the sugar,
breakfast cereal and other food
industries. Despite national epi-
demicsof tooth decay, obesity and
heart disease -sugar is a recog-
nized risk factor for all three -this
professor defends a doubling oi
our nation's sugar intake. 1 le has
also extolled the nutritional "vir-
tues" of pizza and other junkfoods.
Another example, closer to home,
is ECU's Kathrvn Kolasa, who
writes nutrition columns tor the
Daily Reflector. This so-called
"authority who also represents
Kellogg, has been known to soft-
pedal the dietary risks of every-
thing from pigs to pesticides.
When speaking at a recent Green-
ville conference on pesticides, for
example, Kolasa said that "the
major concern about pesticides is
that they will stop people from
eating more vegetables Forget
about the 90 percent of these
chemicals that haven't been ade-
quately tested. Forget about all
those still in the food supply
known to induce cancer in lab
animals. Kolasa's opinions on
nutrition are as solid as jello.
In the field of medical science,
until recently, laboratories were
operated bv physicians, people
who had a direct acquaintance
with the care of the sick. Thev
could readiiv bring their findings
to the patient's bedside.
But now research is being
conducted increasingly by Ph.Ds,
who are often far better equipped
than M.Ds in solving the com-
plex problems of molecular biol-
ogy and human biochemistry
Hence patient and hospital now
seem further removed. Another
change is evident as well: most oi
the eminent Ph.D. scientists in the
U.S. now working in medical sci-
ence also have their own corpo-
ra te pa tron. They work i n o ne place
but vovortly or indirectly repre-
sent another. '
Of course, this trend is really
nothing new: examples of corpo-
rate involvement with university
laboratories abound. Indeed, sev-
eral burgeoning biomedical com-
panies, including Genentech and
Biogen, werestarted or sponsored
bv research scientists themselves.
Problem is, such infiltration is on
the increase.
Until the mid-1907's, total
freedom of scientific enterprise
and communication wasin vogue.
But will "ownership" of medical
science by corporations that make
large investments and seek return
bias the performance of these key
medical laboratories? Obviously
such a biascould bea matterof life
or death to those depending on
the proper tests for diagnosis and
treatment of serious illness.
Whether scientists who speak
on behalf of a corporation's goals
deliberately slant their views is
usually hard to say. But this much
seems clear: financial ties to an
industry generally go hand in
hand with endorsements of the
industry's productsand practices.
These endorsements mav involve
nuclear wastes, water pollution.

Anv muzzling oi scientific ex-

the ongoing commercialization ol
science seems most ominous.

lead to errors that affect millioi
of lives.

Failure of Chinese reforms helped cause Tiananmen uprising
By Nathaniel Mead
Editorial Columnist
Few of us will forget the hor-
ror we experienced upon hearing,
on June 4,1989, that thousands of
Chinese students had been shot
down by Chinese troops in
Beijing's Tiananmen Square. As
the troops marched along the main
roads surrounding the square,
they fired submachine guns di-
rectly into crowds of people who
had come to observe the rally.
Some civilians were run over by
armored personnel carriers that
forced their way through barri-
cades erected by local residents.
Any sympathyChinese troops had
previously shown toward the
people suddenly seemed to dis-
solve that day ? they said they
were just "following orders
Soon afterward, Chinese offi-
cials quickly pulled the switch on
the CBS satellite transmission
module, leaving our television
screens flaring with white noise.
At the same time, the mainstream
press, radio, and TV. program-
ming in the U.S. could give us only
a peripheral view of what was
really going on there. For weeks
we heard nothing but the official
government propaganda line
against the "counterrevolutionary
rebellion" allegedly perpetrated
"by a small group" of intellectuals
poisoned by too much "bourgeois
liberalization" and "wholesale
Westernization
Since the grisly massacre, a
number of student dissidents who
escaped to the U.S. have shared
opinions on how and why China
had been pushed back from an era
of reform to the brink of another
era of revolution. A central reason.
they say, is that the decade of re-
forms had not really alleviated
the various socioeconomic crises
in China but, on the contrary, had
aggravated them. Though the
people had gained greater access
to material things from the West
(T. Vs, fast foods, cars, refrigera-
tors, etc.), this had created a great
deal of ideological confusion in
China. There was an upsurge of
individualism?individualistic
valuesand culture. But at the same
timegovernmentcondemned this
trend as an expression of "spiri-
tual pollution
By the early spring of 1989,
many students had become to-
tally disillusioned with the gov-
ernment, the economy, and the
culture as a whole. They were
dominated by a sense of hope-
lessness over a prevailing moral
deterioration that took its expres-
sion in profiteering speculation
and insatiable consumption?
consumption that was leading to
a growing class of poor people in
the citiesof Beijing, Shanghai, and
Canton. While nonviolence was
widely endorsed, many also be-
lieved that the only way out of the
quagmire was through turbulence
and revolt. Since 1989 was to be
the two hundredth anniversary of
the French Revolution and the
fortieth anniversary of the found-
ing of the People's Republic of
China, some students said they
were determined to make it the
year of democratic change.
At Beijing University, a hot-
bed for political expression, stu-
dent activists embraced the slo-
gan, "Only if we can free our-
selves first can we free society
The main theme of many on-cam-
pus demonstrations was freedom
of expression, yet all throughout
China the government had been
escalating its propaganda cam-
paigns against political dissent.
At the same time, Deng's gov-
ernment had announced seven
different policy adjustments?
each one lasting only a few
months?between 1987 and 1989.
Some believe that this erratic,
short-term policy-making had a
destabilizing effect on Chinese
society and resulted in two phe-
nomena: overconsumption (of
material goods) and the break-
down of the educational system.
The main impetus behind the
democratic movement was a pro-
found conflict between the gov-
ernment and the people. Deng's
one-party monopoly had resulted
in abominable abuses of power
and economic injustices. The Chi-
nese people, though usually re-
served, could not accept this situ-
ation.
Perhaps the 1980s' open-door
policy and introduction of somanv
books and ideas from the outside
world had made the people dan-
gerously aware of the trend to-
ward democracy in the world at
large. It was, in part, against such
awareness of the world trend
against colonialism in the sixties
that the student killings at Kent
and Jackson State universities took
place in the spnng of 1970. Then,
as in China last year, the students'
courageous actions were a poign-
ant testimony that the will of the
people cannot be forever denied
This is the first in a two-part edito-
rial on the 1989 Tiananmen Square

Bush says he
thinks Gorbachev
remains strong
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine
(AP) President Bush said Mon-
day that he believes Soviet Presi-
dent Mikhail S. Gorbachev is
"pretty darn strong" despite the
widening economic crisis in the
Soviet Union.
Bush, chatting with reporters
before lie teed off for a final round
of golf on his Memorial Day week-
end vacation, said, "He has
enormous problems, but it's not
our business to sort out the
oTher person's economic prob-
lems. We've got some of our own.
"But it is our business to make
clear to him what we can do and
those things we can't do said
Bush, who will welcome Gor-
bachev to the White House for
four days oi summit talks on the
future of Europe, arms control and
other superpower relations.
?sked if he agreed with Sec-
retary of State James A. Baker 111
that Gorbachev is in more danger
now than before of being over-
thrown, the president said, "I don't
think that's my business to sort
that out. 1 deal with the Soviet
lead er that's there in place coming
to the United States todiscuss these
matters
"This man has survived. I've
given him, 1 think, appropriate
credit tor the dramatic changes in
Eastern Europe Bush said
My own personal opinion is
that he's prettv darn strong there
the president added.
Gorbachev went on Soviet
television Sunday night to appeal
to his countrymen for calm in the
face of panic buying triggered by
Moscow's plans to double the
prices of food and other goods.
Bush left his home at 6:45 a.m.
to get in his fourth and final round
of golf, r le planned to speak later
at a Memorial Day parade down
the main street oi the resort.
Bush said he wasn't expecting
any surprises from outside the
First Congregational Church. "1
think everybody, regardless of
their faith and background, as-
pires to see a world oi peace
Certainly that's what this summit
coming up with Gorbachev is
about
In an interview with Soviet
television released Sunday, Bush
said "we've got big differences"
with the Soviet over German
unity and Lithuania that could
impede the superpower summit.
But Bush voiced hope the
summit would produce progress
on strategic arms and conventional
forces, as well as "a breakthrough
of sorts on chemical weapons
Bush and Gorbachev are to
sign an agreement Friday to de-
stroy chemical weapons and out-
linelimitsoncruise missiles, which
have been an obstacle to agree-
ment on a strategic nuclear weap-

tors met in Washington Sunday to

Cigarette bans go into effect
Sales to minors cause controversy
By Victoria Benning and
Evelyn D. Tan
Gannett News Service

To hear Kevin McCowen, 16,
talk, vou wouldn't know selling
cigarettes to minors is banned in
Utah.
"Cigarettes are easy to get
the Layton, Utah, sophomore says.
"Some of my friends look old
enough to buy, and some of the
stores will sell to you without
asking for identification
To stop the annual sale of Q47
million packs of cigarettes to
minors, lealth and I Uiman Serv-
ices Secretary Louis Sullivan on
Thursday proposed banning
vending machine sales of ciga-
rettes, licensing tobacco retailers
and punishing violators with fines
and license suspensions.
"You can't buy beer from a
vending machine Sullivan told
senators. "Why should you be able
to purchase cigarettes there?"
For months, Sullivan has been
crusading against smoking, spe-
cifically attacking tobacco adver-
tising aimed at minorities and
young women. Thursday, he pro-
posed the federal aw ? which
could be used as a model in states
that want to adopt similar legisla-
tion ? to keep young people from
starting to smoke
Studies by the Office of the
Inspector General released Thurs-
day show that about 3,000 chil-
dren start smoking each day,
which comes to more than one
million annually. The same stud-
ies say the earlier a child starts
smoking, the less likely he or she
is to quit. Sullivan said 90 percent
oi adult smokers picked up the
habit as children or adolescents.
Forty-four states and the Dis-
trict of Columbia prohibit selling
cigarettes to minors. But "these
laws are being blatantly ignored
Sullivan said. Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Missouri, Montana, New
Mexico and Wyoming do not have
laws.
Realizing the possible eco
nomic impact of banning vending
machines, Sullivan suggests that
the ban be phased in by first re-
stricting the location of vending
machines to places where minors

David Stone, director of com-
municationsof the National Auto-

Merchandising Association rep-
resenting more than 2,000 vend-
ing machine companies, says a
vending-machine ban would
hardly dent cigarette sales to
youngsters.
"Of all cigarettes sold, about 3
percent are sold in vending ma-

fix to make people feel they are
doing something, but in practice it
won't have much effect

discussions
WASHINGTON (AP) ?
Clean air, the budget and cam-
paign reform are three issues with
little in common except that one
day last week they all were being
thrashed about in private meet-
ings on Capitol Hill.
Nearly every tough issue be-
fore Congress these days is get-
ting settled away from public scru-
tiny. Lawmakers' public votes
sometimes seem just a re-enact-
ment of something that happened
in a secret rehearsal hours earlier.
Closed-door bargaining is
nothing new. Part of the reason
Congress has a committee system
is so the bugs can be worked out of
legislation before it is brought to
the House or Senate chamber.
But now there seems to be a
genuine reluctance to slug things
out in public.
House Republicans and
Democrats decided weeks ago
they couldn't resolve their differ-
ences over how to overhaul the
campaign finance laws. But rather
than take the issue to the House
floor and slug it out. Speaker
Thomas Fley agreed to put the
issue off in hopes the Senate could
point the way toward compro-
mise.
The Senate recently spent an
entire day debating campaign
spending issues. But at Senate
Majority Leader George Mitchell's
urging its members agreed in
advance not to hold any votes,

cause the closed-door talks were
going on simultaneously-

Ten people ranging in age
from lb to 14 were arrested after
the 1 a.m. incident. They were
released under unsecured bonds
after their parents were notified,
authorities said.
A number of squad cars sped
into the area after someone called
the sheriff's department at 12:40

were fighting in streets and yards.
The crowd scattered as the
deputies arrived, but fights broke

police said.
A number of weapons were

BOGOTA. Colombia (AP) ?
The bloodiest election campaign
in Colombian historv ended with
a resounding victory' for the gov-
erning party's Cesar Gaviria, who
took the hardest line against drug
traffickers of any major presiden-
tial candidate.
Gaviria, 43, told supporters in
a nationally televised speech
Sunday night that his victory rep-
resents a triumph for democracy
in this violence-wracked country.
"To all those who have sought
to threaten our democracy, listen
closelv. The people have spoken
with courage and clarity, and we
will triumph he said before a
cheering crowd at a Bogota hotel.
Gaviria praised Colombians
for casting ballots in defiance of
threats of terrorism from hired
guns of the powerful cocaine car-
tels.
Millions of Colombians
turned out to vote Sunday under
the watchful eye of army sharp-
shooters, and chose from among
12 presidential candidates who
survived a campaign in which
three candidates were assassi-
nated.
The Caracol radio network

Remains of five American
servicemen returned Monday
PANMUNJOM, Korea (AP)
? The remains of five American
servicemen killed in the Korean
War were returned to their coun-
trymen Monday in plain brown
caskets to be flown home for a
hero's welcome.
The caskets and five small
boxes bearing personal effects
such as identification tags, but-
tons and boots were presented to
eight U.S. Congressmen by Com-
munist North Korea.
"This is an emotional mo-
ment said Dr. Norman Jones of
Cambria, Calif assistant director
of the Korean War Veterans Asso-
ciation. Tears streaming down his
face, he gazed toward the caskets
draped in blue United Nations
flags.
"I cannot talk he said.
It was the first return of U.S.
Korean War dead from North
Korea since 1954. More than 8,000
Americans still are unaccounted
for after the war.
Pallbearers in suits and ties,
wearing white gloves and lapel
pins of North Korean leader Kim
11 Sung, handed the caskets over
to the congressional delegation at
the truce village of Panmunjom
inside the Demilitarized Zone
separating the two Koreas.
The return of the remains is
widely seen as a gesture by Norih
Korea to improve relations with
the United States, The two coun-
tries do not have diplomatic ties.
The transfer came after Rep.
G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery, a
Mississippi Democrat and chair-
man of the House Veterans Af-
fairs Committee, signed a docu-
ment confirming he received the
remains. Lee Sang Ho, a member
of the Supreme People's Assem-
bly, signed for North Korea.
"This is a historic occasion .
to get proper recognition for
Americans who fought in Korea,
recognition that has not come for
40 years Montgomery said. He
said the five dead would return to
a hero's welcome in the United
States.
US. military officials said the
remains first would be flown to
Hawaii for identification, a proc-
ess that could take several months.
The American-led United
Nations Command in Seoul said
more than 9,000 U.N. Command
military personnel were unac-
counted for after the war ended,
including 8,177 Americans and
soldiers from Canada, Australia
and England.
Official figures show 33,629
U.S. soldiers were killed in the
war and 103,284 wounded.

but many voters stayed home.
The filial turnout was just 42
percent nationwide. By contrast,
62 percent voted in partially free
parliamentary elections last lune.
Unofficial resultsof the52,000
individual races were expected
Monday, but official results were
not expected until Monday.
Solidarity Citizen's Commit-
teesare expected to dominate local
governments, ousting the Com-
munists from one of their last
bastions ot power. The vote will
also be a test of strength of Poland's
budding independent political
parties.

stands that we must stick together

Walesa said after voting in his
hometown, the Baltic port of
Gdansk.
"We must take over power
from the bottom and build the
foundations of democracy
Walesa met for three hours
earlvSunday with representatives
of the thousands of striking rail
workers but the talks brought no
accord and aides to the Solidarity
chairman said strikers asked him
to return Sunday night to their
headquarters in Slupsk, about 80
miles west of Gdansk.
The agreement they reached,
signed at about 1:30 a.m asks the
government to review the strik-
ers' demands for raises and the
dismissal of holdover directors
named by theousted Communists.
Walesa is to meet again with
the strike committee on lune 13 to
gauge progress, according to re-
ports bv the PAP news agency
and state radio.
The strike committee issued a
communique that called on the
government to reshape and clar-
ify its economic reform program
so "the burden of the (economic)
crisis is spread over the whole
society
"This is a fulfillment of what
the government expected. The
government has always said it
would not talk under the gun of a
strike said government spokes-
man Zbigniew Augustvnowicz.
The state-run railroad said 80
percent of passenger service to the
strike-bound Pomerania region
would resume Monday with
freight traffic taking 1 1 2 days to
restore, PAP said.
The rail workers had threat
ened a 90-minute nationwide
warning stnke for Monday, de-
manding that government nego-
tiators come from Warsaw.

Baker's comments came the
dav atter the I nited States blocked
an attempt by the Security Coun-

Arab leaders were angered by
the US. move at the Security
Council meeting in Geneva, Swit-

reneged on a promise.
The United States objected to
the investigative mission after
Israel refused to accept any team
sent bv the Security Council.

thought was his earlier backing ot
a Security Council investigative
team.

said Scott Kahler, the company's
president.
With Americans developing
a fondness for jazzier-looking
hosiery that isn't carried by tradi-
tional department stores, sock
stores are America's "hottest re-
tail sensation' according to En
trepreneur magazine. The Sock
Market expects sales to hit $5
million this year ? and it's just
getting its feet wet.
Already the largest U.S. sock
chain, Sock Market will open four
new stores this fall, Kahler said.
I he eight-person corporate staff
has 10 additional locations on the
drawing board All stores are
owned by the company. Kahler
has 31 in vestorsand may sell stock
to the public.
The Sock Market carries 1,500

As luly begins, Dr. W. Keats
Sparrow will become the acting
dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences. Although Sparrow does
not yet hold the title,he hasbegun
working on the department's
budget with Dr. Marlene Sprin-
ger.
The College of Arts and Sci-
ences "is the centerpiece academic
unit of the university according
to Sparrow. The arts and sciences
college is the only college on
campus. It is comprised of 21 aca-
demic departments.
Sparrow's colleagues warned
him about accepting his new posi-
tion. With the recent budget crises
a lot will hang on his decisions
concerning student admission and
the allocation of school funds.
One problem he must handle
in his position is the freeze on all
faculty positions established by
Governor Jim Martin. This freeze
will affect students and profes-
sors alike. The result will be a
higher student to teacher ratio,
which could affect Fall and Spring
enrollment The freeze will also
affect current faculty positions,
and college funding.
"I'm going to be known as
Dean No says Sparrow. But no
will not be the only answer that
students and faculty w-ill hear.
Sparrow's goal is to try to
manage with the least possible
damage to the students and fac-
ultv. His solution to the budget
crises is to "continue with what
we have, and to tough it out until
the situation improves
Sparrow is a native of Kin-
ston. He received his undergradu-
ate and master degrees from ECU.
ECU has been Sparrow's environ-
ment of growth. "ECU represents
my adult life and my career
Sparrow said. "I would not want
it any other way he added.
While attending ECU,
Sparrow's teachers taught him to
take writing seriously. His teach-
ers included: Ovid Pierce, who at
the time was receiving national
attention; Herb Paschel, a noted
NI.C historian; and Frank Adams,
who taught at Yale before coming
to ECU. After receiving his
master's degree, Sparrow was
offered a faculty position at ECU.
This he accepted, and taught a
year before seeking his doctorate
at the University of Kentucky.
After completing his doctor-
ate requirements, Sparrow re-
turned to ECU and joined the fac-
ulty as an assistant professor.
Gradually, he worked his way up
to his current academic standing.
Spare time is something that
Sparrow is short of these days, but
when he is not at work he is busy
writing. "Work is my hobby
Sparrow said.
Sparrow has published five
books and is now working on his
sixth. Hiscurrent project involves
North Carolina's only Civil War
novelist, WD. Herrington. Her-
rington served in the third N.O

of roughly 2000 men, had the job
of keeping the north from advanc-

An Ideal View
Students waste time studying excessively
By Caroline Cusick
Features Editor
Oh, how I love to study. Noth-
ing brings me more pleasure than
opening a textbook on media law,
foreign language, physics, trigo-
nometry, early Egyptian literature
or biochemistry and leisurely
scanning the pages, absorbing
every letter and syllable into my
long-term, instant-recall memory.
After years of education, the
recesses of my mind are full of
useless information. Why? I'm not
quite sure yet. When I finish this
text book, I may have the answer.
As textbooks are the final author-
ity on information, there must be
a textbook, tucked away on some
shelf, holding the key to this mind
boggling dilemma.
Why must we learn the mo-
lecular structure of atoms. We
can't see them. How do we really
know they exist.
Someone, somewhere has
proof. However, I've never seen
one. I just have to "Take their word
for if that atoms do indeed exist.
As long as these teachers are not
the same adu'ts who tell children
that Santa Clause and the Easter
Bunny do indeed exist, I'm OK.
Learningisnotsobad.Itkeeps
us out of trouble, helps us make
important decisions and gives a
slight advantage when playing
Trivial Pursuit.
Because Studying is so much
fun, I have compiled a nifty list of
fun ways to study and pack the
information of thousand sof books
into our heads.
My favorite way to study is
by osmosis. The American Heri-
tage Dictionary (which, inciden-
tally, I am attempting to com-
pletely memorize and compress
into my mind) say s that osmosis is
"a gradual, often unconscious
process of assimilation or absorp-
tion Over the years, I have con-
cluded that placing textbooks
under my pillow before retiring
for the evening results in the ef-
fortless absorption of information
overnight. By morning, the book's
information is absorbed by my
brain and I have become more
informed and enlightened on the
ways of the world.
HINT: Small books work bet-
ter, as large books may cause dis-
comfort and impede sleep.
Another great way to study,
completely distinct from osmosis,
is placing an open textbook on
your lap while watching televi-
sion. The light waves from the
television screen reflect off of the
pages of the book and are subcon-
sciously absorbed by the eyes.
The only trick to this study
method is remembering to turn
the page every 10 to 15 minutes to
ensure complete exposure to the
chapter or book you are reading.
A great advantage to this method
is that such a sparce amount of
time is wasted that you'll feel like
you never studied at all.
A last resort study technique
is reading. When supplemented
by note taking, reading has proved
to be an effective way to obtain
and retain information.
Although theresultsof study-
ing by reading far exceed those of
the other study methods, reading
has many drawbacks. It is time
consuming, boreing, tends to
make the mind sleepy and the
eyes tired, it can not be done while
the rest of your body is doing
something requiring attention and
it requires great effort.
Although it is heavily en-
dorsed by teachers, professors and
other professionals, I strongly
suggest avoidance of this tortur-
ous method of studying.
Reading is no more vital than
breathing, eating or sleeping. And
as one can complete college with-
out them, it is also possible for a
student to complete four years of
college without reading.

Pop bands use prerecorded tracks
in concert to enhance performances
More and more dance-oriented pop acts arc relying on prerecorded
vocal and music tracks to enhance their shows. Reason: The backup
tapes recreate a fuller Studio sound and allow X'rlormers to channel
energy to the physical demands of dancing. On current concert tours
by fanet Jackson, Madonna, New Kids on the Block and others, music
itself is secondary to choreography, sets and lights.

a sock shop.
In 1986, Kahler quit Younkers
and spent a year researching the
idea and shopping it to bankers.
He hired away some merchandis-
ers from Younkers, including his
wife, and the first two stores
opened in April 1987.
The Sock Market has discov-
ered the kinds of locations that
work best: regional malls anchored
by department store chains like
Saks and Nieman-Marcus.
Although The Sock Market
depends more on foot traffic in the
malls than advertising, the com-
pany is developing its own iden-
tity. A manufacturer has created a
line of socks exclusively for the
chain. And the company is about
to Introduce a mascot called
"Sockrates" for in-store promo-
tions.
Every store makes money,
although the company overall is
just creeping into the black be-
cause of corporate expenses. The
company's balance sheet is as
conservative as a pair of black
stretch socks: Debt isoutweigned
by shareholders' equity by a 5-to-
1 ratio.
The Sock Market owns all its
stores. Kahler said he might lose
control over the stores if he sold
franchises.
"If v have a franchisee that
does not pay their bills, that's a
reflection on our company' he
said.
Theater
Mall managers prefer dealing
with company-owned stores as
well, he said. And the current
structure provides "a much more
attractive package for investors
and for taking the company pub-
lic he said.
The downside of company-
owned stores is that expansion is
slower.
For instance, the Minneapo-
lis-based Sox Appeal chain de-
pends totally on franchising be-
cause "we want to go to a lot of
different places said founder
Gibson Carothers. Sox Appeal has
17 stores and is growing.
Kahler acknowledged that he
would like to expand The Sock
Market faster.
Time is important when
you're dealing with a hot idea.
There are at least four more re-
gional sock chains in America,
including Sox Appeal, and there's
a limited supplv of good locations;
a shopping mall won't make room
for more than one sock store, he
said.
"This is a race Kahler said.
"Every dime that we make. . goes
into opening new stores
Itcosts The Sock Marketabout
$85,000 to open the tvpical 500- to
700-square foot store, he said.
What helps The Sock Market
is the ex-Younkers employees'
expertise in merchandise, he said.
So in Chicago, with its heavv
Jewish population, the three Sock

rheonly win for E U came in the first round against South Florida,
the Sun Belt Conference champions. The Pirates came back to win 4-2
thanks to Corey Short's homemn in the eighth inning.
The Pirate offense sputtered throughout the entire regionals. FCU
lead-off hitter Kevin Riggs went cold in the tournament, going four-for-

FRISCO, Texas (AP) - Eve-
ryone who has placed golf has
made that putt, made it almost
routinely.
It was probably less than two
feet, mere than 1 12. Call it 20
inches.
That's the most nervous I've
ever been' an Stephenson said.
"Mv knees were actually
shaking.It's stupid, but 1 was
standing there thinking, 'That's
about $10,000 an inch
Stephenson rolled it in on the
17th hole at the Stonebriar Coun-
try Club, a par-saving putt that
provided her with $200300 and a
victory in the I.PGA's first Skins
Game.
Stephenson admitted the
money was important. She had an
off-year last season then incurred
hugeand continuing medical bills
in the wake of a mugging in Janu-
ary.
"It doesn't get me out of a
hole, but it helps' she said.
Perhaps of greater value was
the fact that the putt and the vic-
tory revived her injury-threatened
career. It proved she could play
again. A few months ae,o there
wasconsiderabledoubt she would
be back.
"The doctors told me this
might be a convenient time to ease
out of my career she said.
The advice came after the ring
finger on her left hand was shat-
tered when a mugger attempted
to np off her wedding ring.
"I've heard them saving, 'Oh,
she'll never play again. She's
done Stephenson said of the
injurv. "Well, it's not very pretty,
but 1 can grip a club
The finger remains broken,
she said, the result of vibration
caused bv hitting a golf ball. It's
held in place by two tiny screws.
It's swollen and curled back to-
ward her palm. She cannot
straighten it, perhaps never will.
Stephenson had been shut out
by JoAnnc Carner, Nancy Lopez
and Betsy King for 16 holes of the
two-day, 18-hole, made-for-tcle-
vision event and had missed a 18-
foot birdie putt on the 15th hole.
Under the format that calls for
the prize money on each hole to be
earned forward until there is a
clear winner, the pot had grown to
$200,000 when the foursome went
to the tee on the 140-yard, par-3
17th.
When Carner, Lopez and King
all hit into bunkers, the door was
opened for Stephenson. She
stroked a 5-iron shot that nestled
in 12 feet below the flag.
King and Lopez had plugged
lies and had no chance of saving
par. Carner came out to about 10
feet, and Stephenson, facing a 12-
footer to win outright, left it 20
inches short.
"I could see JoAnne making
the putt Stephenson said. But
she didn't. Carner, too, left her
putt short. That gave Stephenson
the opportunity to win it with the
little putt.
And she made the most of it.
Camer wona total of $110,000,
while Lopez won $95,000 and
King $45,000.

Barnes is a member of the
Pirate club and comes to all of the
football games, but because he is
usually busy coaching during the
baseball season, he has difficulty

keep up with the team's progress.
"I think that this is probably the
best team that ECU has ever had

But the Bulls came stamped-
ing with a run in the eighth in-
ning. Doug Joseph (.225, 18 RBI)
