Professors f ound National
Association of Scholars
By Jim Rogers
Staff Writer
A newlv formed campus
association of professors and
students in support oi "rea-
soned scholarship in a free
society" is holding it's first
meeting on Monday in Men-
denhall Student Center.
The East Carolina Asso-
ciation of Scholars, a local
chapter of the Nabonal Asso-
ciahon of Scholars, is a group
dedicated to upholding the
ideals of freedom of speech,
freedom of poli heal choice and
academic advancement based
solely on merit.
Steven Mandelker, the
coordinator of the associabon,
said he feared that some
people may classi Kit as "right
wing" polibcally-
During an interview
Tuesday, Mandelker stressed
that the associabon holds no
political affiliabon whatsoever
and has absolutely no racist or
sexist tendencies.
A letter endorsed by the
founders of the associabon
was printed in the Apnl 11
edibon of The East Carolinian.
This letter expressed the
association's posibon on many
topics, including the de-
nouncement of groups who
demand changes in the uni-
versity curriculum for polib-
cal reasons such as represen-
tation of women and minon-
bes.
The associabon of schol-
ars claims that a work should
be recognized on the merit of
its content and not the race or
gender of its author.
During an interview,
Mandelker referred to an ECU
Women's Studies newsletter
article about an edition of
Great Books of the Western
World that did not include a
workbva black author.
According to Mandelker
the newsletter implied the
editors of the collection were
racist for failing to represent a
black author.
"In this case, there is no
basis for the claim of racism
Mandelker said.
The April 11 letter stated.
"Race and sex are irrelevant to

theartof marketing Key said about
the camel. That campaign has
helped make the Camels one of the
highest selling brands, he said.
While the some companies relv
on sex to sell. Key said the alcohol
industry relieson more graphic tac-
tics.
He said in an ad for Johnnie
Walker Scotchonecan wa scream-
ing mask, a skull and a castrated
penis.
"1 took that picture to the UCLA
medical school and they said that
the picture of the castrated penis is
SO clear and obvious that it vould be
used as a textbook example Key
said.
Key said this display of the ma-
cabre in adsas the industry's way of
showing the audience how self-de-
structive alcohol can be.
The use of subliminal messages
in ads is not restricted to print me-
dia. In a chewing gum ad on televi-
sion, we see a man and a woman
walking with a picnic basket When
the woman almost drops the bas-
ket, the man catches it, they smile
and go on their way. Key said.
When thecomnvraal isslowed
di 'wn, the man places his hand be-
tween the woman's legs, Ke) said
The third type of subliminal
advertisement is the use of
anomphic art. This is when an im-
age iseither reduced or enlarged so
that an image doesn't appear to be
there.
According to Kev, the first
known record of this was found in
Leonardo De Vinb'sdiary over SI
vearsago. Another example would
be a picture ordered by Henry VIII
showing French ambassadors with
a ray of sunlight splashing at their
feet When approached from a cer-
tain way, a distinctive skull can be
seen at the men's feet
"It was obvious that the ing
didn't like the French ambassa-
dors Kev said.
Norman Rockwell, in a plate
titled "Mother's Blessing shows a
scene of a boy and a girl offering
prayers at their mother's knee
But as Key pointed out, the
mother seems to be guiding the
girl's head toward her pubic area
while the boy seems to have his
penis in his mother.
"Now Rockwell was a good
artist and if he wanted to draw a
forearm he would have drawn a
forearm Kev said.

Student Health Center study
measures exam
By Leigh Anne Wiggins
Special to The East Carolinian
Many students feel that sick-
ness increases on campus around
exam time, but a Student Health
Center official says that may not be
the case.
Ten students talked to all agreed
that sickness lncreasesat exam time
Six of the 10 students polled, said
that the stress involved with exams
makes people more vulnerable to
getting sick.
Ron Morra, a sophomore ma-
joring in political science, said that
"after studying for hours upon
hours, their immune system wears
down and they are forced to go get
medicine
Angie Ratdiff agreed. Ratcliff,
a sophomore mapnng in chiki life,
added that tension and lack of sleep
often times "lead to headaches and
exhaustion This leaves some stu-
dents no other choice than to go get
medicine, she said.
Eour of the ten students, how-
ever, had different opinions about
whv more people visit the infir-
mary at exam time.
Roger Orndorff, a junior ma-
time sickness
johng in business management, said
that "some people can get out of
exams with a note from the center,
and take them later
James Frye agreed. He said that
since sometimes people might have
more than one test on the same day,
some want more time for their ex-
ams.
Rodney Turner, a senior ma jor-
ing in marketing, said that some
people may even be going to the
infirmary "forsome moral support"
He added that normally students
would get this motivation and en-
couragement from their families.
The students look to the Health
Center for some of this while they
are away from home.
While many students think the
traffic at he Student Health Center
increases around exam time, this
may not be so.
Suzanne Tumage, data ctxmii-
nator for the Health Center, found
that the number of students need-
ing medical attention during one
sample exam penod actually de-
creased.
Tumage compiled data from
the Fall lWcxam week and from a
randomly chosen week.

Students need to learn from alumni
Most of the time, this space is used to
point out the bad side of things: the firing of
Mike Steele, improprieties by administra-
tors found by the state auditor and the Per-
sian Gulf War. Far too often we avoid com-
mending events in Greenville.
Now, however, we have something to
speak in favor of: alumni involvement.
Not enough attention is paid to alumni.
They are faceless. It is doubtful that stu-
dents know or care about alumni, or that
students know how much alumni do for the
university.
Alumni work harder for the benefit of
the university than most students.
Alumni Weekend ? a celebration of
graduates ? will be this Friday and Satur-
day, including such activities as campus
tours, music recitals and a Parents Associa-
tion meeting
Three alumni ? John Anema Jr Wil-
liam Flowers and Burney Rivenbark ? will
receive Distinguished Service Awards.
Anema coordinates the ECU Quiz Bowl,
where regional high school students com-
pete for a $1,000 scholarship.
Flowers is active in the Pirate Club, is a
volunteer in his community and plans fund-
raisers for the university.
Rivenbark has held several offices in
the Alumni Association and organized a
luncheon to promote ECU to high school
guidance counselors.
Honors students work with alumni on
the Quiz Bowl in an effort to attract top
students to ECU. Wednesday, teams repre-
senting Jacksonville and Williamston High
Schools competed in the finals.
With that in mind, take these recent
indicators of students' unwillingness to be-
come involved:
? The Student Union committees, which
handle more than $300,000 in student activ-
ity fees, are hard pressed to find student
volunteers.
? Candidates in three of the four races
for Student Government Association execu-
tive offices ran unopposed.
There are bright spots to this, however.
The Student Union-sponsored Barefoot on
the Mall, which will be held today, promises
to be one of the best ever.
Student volunteers at the REAL Crisis
Center are sponsoring the second annual
Rock Against Rape benefit concerts.
These two examples are highlights, but
they are too few. By not becoming involved
on campus, students are wasting opportu-
nities.
Perhaps, after students graduate, they
will work harder for ECU than they did as
undergraduates.
Perhaps the item that separates ECU
from "public Ivy League" schools like The
University of Miami (Ohio) and UNC-
Chapel Hill is student involvement.

Letters To The Editor
Thompson
defends recent
criticism
To The Editor:
First I would like to ad-
dress the "awkward sentence
structure" that Mr. Becker re-
fers to in his letter (The East Caro-
linian, March 28). If my original
letter is consul ted by the editors
it will be found that much of the
awkwardness comes from an
error on their part. The portion
of that letter criticizing Mr.
Becker's work was grossly mis-
printed halfway through the last
paragraph.
Secondly, Mr. Becker's
claim that my criticism was "ba-
sically an atrocious exercise in
inane, pedantic dilettantism"
misses the point. As a work of
art his poem certainly has little
merit, and though I sympathize
with the criticism directed at 'art
for arf s sake' that Mr. Becker
alludes to, that doesn't excuse
him from the demands of the
poetic form when he intends to
have his work published. These
artistic conventions can be over-
looked or wholly ignored if one
is merely writing for themselves
or friends, but it is unreasonable
to expect thousands of students
to do the same, especially with a
piece that shocks for apparently
no other reason than to shock.
Next, I would like to ad-
dress Mr. Becker's claim that his
poem expresses the "religious
convictions of an overwhelming
majority of Americans" ? I will
assume he meant 'Christian' con-
victions. If the majority of Chris-
tians believe in nuking people (as
I understand the term "NUKE
Saddam Hussein would not be
the only life extinguished); or
support the wholesale slaugh-
ter of people because they have
different beliefs (That Infidels
must perish by the Sword"
and "Their days are numbered
As the hairs of their head"
seem to strongly imply); or ha ve
the self-righteous and inhuman
idea of life presented with "their
corpses rot in a fiery Hell then
I will concede I do not under-
stand even the most bask te-
nets of Christianity.
Furthermore, the expres-
sion of the various aspects of
war is not what I found offen-
sive with Mr. Becker's poem. It
is when an author decides to
propagate a viewpoint that is
inexcusably distorted about the
'joys and sorrows' of war that I
find my sensibilities being of-

Campus Spectrum
History professor responds to column
To The Editor:
In his awkward column of
April 4, Mr. Derek McCullers seeks
to enlighten us by arguing that
there is a "white way of thinking"
and that "Euro centric thinking
promotes 'Big Lie If so, then his
feeble response is hardly an intel-
lectual aid, for its reasoning is so
internally inconsistent as to seem
childish and so emotional as to
excite sympathy for the hormonal
imbalance of adolescence.
His bizarredescription of the
"oppresive and hypocritical"
white Europeans is unlikely to
convince any except exotic co-re-
ligionists since, along the way, he
has managed to forget such Afri-
can glories as cannibalism, slavery,
polygamy, clitoridecdemy, tribal-
ism, not to mention the frequent
and casual massacre of thousands
? so common an event in Africa
as to have become banal. How
convenient of the columnist to
have forgotten all this!
Or is it his view that Europe-
ans an? now in open season and
may be casually shot where found?
Is he the only one to be issued a
hunting licence? Perhaps he sup-
poses that African pangas and
assegais were principally em-
ployed as tableware. Or, in a more
contemporary vein, perhaps he
imagines that the burning tires
around Zulu necks are a rustic
substitute for street-lights akin to
the ECU campus beautification
program.
It is, however, the internal
illogic of his column which is so
startling since Mr. McCullers prac-
tically wallows in eurocentric
thinking himself. After all, he is
writing in his native language,
English, a Germanic tongue in
which many abstract terms derive
from Greek and many concrete
terms from Latin. Many other
lexial items derive from the Ro-
mance languages and from extra-
European cultures, a point which
simply highlights the flexibility of
Europeans and their American
decendants.
The journalisitic tradition in
which he wri tes provides even less
justification, for it derives from
18th century England while the
right to free expression which he
utilizes denves from England and
the United States.
Similarly, the evocation of
the "noble savage" myth from
which Mr. McCullers draws sus-
tenance is also a 17th and 18th
centurv invention whose leading
proponent was the Swiss-bom and
French-educated Rousseau. His
romantic conception of the tnbal
chief as "instrumentof the people"
is one which excites much interest
in 19th century Germany and En-
gland, from whence it derives, al-
though scholars have long since
abandoned or greatly modified
that premise.
To cap it off, his notion that
freedom "is about power" is
drawn from Thomas Hobbes, a
17th century English political
phiolosopher (who, incidentally,
thought that life in a state of na-
ture was ugly, brutal and short)
and his belief that "we are not
free" because "we are the poor"
derives from Karl Marx, a 19th
century German. Our columnists'
scholar, on the other hand, might
best be explained by reference to
19th century European romanti-
cism or, perhaps, by reference to
Sigmund Freud who, however, is
also beyond the pale because he
Let's Be Adamant
was Austrian.
It is worth noting that Mr
McCullers gets all of this wr ng
while meditating in a university.
That too is a European institution.
It was invented in 11th centurv
Italv and adapted in 12th century'
France Perhaps he also contem-
plates this background when vot-
ing, using a typewnter or com-
puter, ordering a prescript
nding in a car or airplane, calling
a friend on the telephone, watch-
ing a movie, going to an opera -
switching on an electric light. Un-
fortunately for him, all of these are
products of the same "hypocriti-
cal minority" rooted in the West
Will he therefore stop using
them and simply live on the beach
like Crusoe and Friday? Dozens
of other examples might be ated
but this list would simply wearv
us all and the horse has alreadv
been flogged. The critic's anti-Eu-
ropean nag won't trot for him ? it
is too European.
In charity, a few things may
be said in Mr. McCullers' favor It
is, surely, nght to protest injus-
tice, right to know one's origins
and a proper exercise of filial pietv
to praise them. In all of this, I can
only bless the enterprise and sin-
cerely wish him well. The prob-
lem is that he seeks to do it by
digging pits forothers whilebuild-
mg sand castles for himself. It is
giddy bombast to indict an entire
race of people. Considering the
advantages which the "hypo-
crites" have provided him, it also
seems more than a little mean-
spirited.

Tokenism in workplace hurts everyone
By Darek McCullers
Editorial Columnist
Tokenism is an evil that ef-
fects everyone. Quotas and asso-
ciated programs are instruments
of tokenism. They hurt white
people as well as black people.
There is no magic number or pro-
portion of blacks to whites in
America's job market or other in-
stitutions, except 100 percent.
What the African-American wants
and needs is total empowerment.
This will not come through the
piecemeal efforts of those who call
themselves white liberals and the
people of color that fall into their
camp.
Minister Malcom X realized
the white man's scheme of token-
ism a long time ago. The white
man would rather allow your
physical presence on the toilet, in
the hotel room, in the school ho use
and in token numbers of signifi-
cant jobs so that he could keep the
money, resources and labor of the
masses. They thought that by inte-
grating and allowing us to see a
few black politicians, entrepre-
neurs and successful people that
we would be satisfied. This is not
the case. There are those, black
and white, that are rising up to see
through this scheme.
Tokenism hurts whites be-
cause it hampers their progress as
well as ours. They also seek to get
jobs in the corporate structure at
the entry level, which is controlled
by whites.
However, these spaces be-
come greatly competitive because
the bulk of black employees can
be found in entry level manage-
ment. Some estimates go as high
as 75 percent (with 20 percent in
middle management and 5 per-
cent in upper management).
What then happens to the
blacks who occupy these lower
positions is that they find that they
can't get any progress. The major-
ity of them will never realize the
so-called "American Dream I
read in one magazine that less than
5 percent of black people earn over
$50,000 per year.
This black middle-class is
growing because tokenism has
provided access to the entry level
of corporate America. As this
group grows, our socialconomic
and political awareness de-creases.
Some of us need to be re-
educated about the white man's
methods of oppression or "Prin-
ciple of Effective Occupation" as
it is called in African Studies. To-
kenism is a component of this pro-
gram
Tokenism will never solve
the problems that hamper the
masses of black people. Malcolm
X talked about this when he re-
ferred to the Democrat's trick of
1964, to appoint a black cabinet
member.
He stated that the "token"
would go up to the White House
claiming that African-Americans
were making so much progress
and that the problem is being
solved when only his personal
problem (of empowerment) was
solved. Really, such tokens have
no power because they can only
offer lip service on behalf of a
people that they do not represent.
The answer to the black
man's problem of empowerment
is not their token social action pro-
gram, it is not integration of our
schools and institutions. Rather, it
is in the words of an old proverb,
for them to quit blocking our sun-
light ? which rightfully is ours.
They don't have to displace anv
white workers with quotas the way
they do. These are two classic il-
lustrations of the government s
misguided policies.
The Equal Employment Op-
portunity Commission recently
made a ridiculous ruling. Mike
Webell, the white owner of Daniel
Lamp Co. was prosecuted for ra-
cial discrimination.
His business is located in the
Hispanic area of a major northern
city. His staff is all black and His-
panic. However, the number or
employees that he hires greatly
fluctuates according to the eeo-
nomiccond itions of his small com-
pany. He maintains a staff that
ranges from 12 to 30.
At a particular point and
tinv, a Mack lady applied and was
not nired. She sued, and the EEOC
ruled that the man had to pay over
$140,000 (this has recently been
reduced to $124,000) for lost wages
to be divided among every black
person that applied and was re-
jected in the year 1988-1989.
If there was anybody that I
can say was not prejudiced (at
least in economics), it was this man
He contributed to this commu-
nity, he was putting back in what
he took out The number of staff
that he was maintaining was low
at that time. There was no position
available. When the case was taken
to the EEOC, Mr. Webell offered
to give the woman a position and
pay her back salary. That was a

To rhe Editor
The most recent dilemma
in the business world, Ameri-
can education, has not taught
? iple how to think, onlv how
to take orders. Funny. I didn't
realize this w.is a problem.
The majority of the profes-
sors I nave encountered feel the
quantity oi work tar outweighs
the importance oi quality. Not
to mention the ever present com-
ment, "I think this would be
muchbetterif (fill in the blank
with how the professor would
do it.) This is not learning. This
is not thinking. This is pushing
people through the system.
Who is to blame? Is it the
students (who don't give a
damn), or the professors (know-
ingly raping the profession for
monetary gains, and noteducat-
ing the students?)
It I were truly an intelli-
gent person, I would have real-
ized many years ago a large per-
centage of students don't care,
(which discourages professors),
and that a large percentage of
professors don't cwv, (making
student feel like an education is
pointless).
I would have understood
education is trapped in a vicious,
perpetuating circle with no so-
lution in sight.
1 could have gone to class,
done exactly what the professor
asked and graduated earlv,
(probably with honors). I could
have saved thousands of dollars
and a portion of my sanity. After
graduation 1 could have gone to

the education it provides (in-
stead of priding itself with the
possibility oi a winning football
season).

clarifies intent
of Sanford letter
To The Editor:
Tim Payne mistakenly in-
terpreted Greg Harmon's letter
in March 28 edition ot The East
Carolinian to mean that Sen.
Terry Sanford wasn't entitled to
his own views and that Flarmon
was attacking Sanford for not
backing the president.
Harmon attacked Sanford for
HIS VOTE on the use of force and
for whatever caused him to take
such a stand.
Sure, Sanford is entitled to his
own views, but being a senator
makes him accountable to the
people for the vote he casts.
Mr. Payne's suggestion that
we bought the U.S. vote with prom-
ises of foreign aid is ridiculous.
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait certainly
needed no prodding. Each country
voted for what would be in its best
interest.
The world remembered
Neville Chamberlain's mistake
with Hitler.
Saddam would not be al-
lowed to keep Kuwait and use its
resources to finance further aggres-
sion.
Payne's most humorous
charge was that "Republicans go
looking for a winnable war" when
things aren't going so well at home.
If the president really wanted
to keep our minds off of the domes-
tic situation, he would have gone
after Saddam Hussein, prolonging
the war.
Mr. Payne attacked Bush for
not doing this. The same people
who would let Saddam have Ku-
wait would now have us interfere
with the internal affairs of another

Such action would reduce

the level of the Carter years.

Tokenism
Continued from page 4
tionable incident of discrimina-
tion. However, the EEOC did not
accept. They made him a token
example of what they should be
doing to the major corporations in
America that represent the previ-
ously discussed corporate struc-
ture, which is prejudiced.
Now, Mr. Webell faces bank-
ruptcy. In the words of a Hispanic
social worker in that community,
the result would be to put 26 mi-
norities on the unemployment
roles. We must ask is it worm it for
8.2 blacks. These type of actions
hurt the black and white commu-
nities and hampers their progress.
On the other hand, a recent
federal court ruling is using quo-
tas in a massive way against black
people. They have ruled that a
major university in the South,
which happens to be predomi-
nantly black, must integrate. The
ruling ordered them to be 50 per-
cent white by the end of 1991 and
to increase this number to 60 per-
cent by 1992.
One has to wonder if the
court is sending a message to the
nation which is representative of
the power structure's attitude on
black development and progress.
This is wrong because blacks have
bent their backs long enough, and
it's time we straighten them.
1 pray that our leaders have
the strength of God to resist this.
These schools should close before
they submit to this treachery.
We can't afford to give up
what little power we have. We
won't give up any of our power
unless the whites give up a lot of
theirs!

Bubble sheets swam
By BLAIR SKINNER
Sthff writer
For years, students have been
required to use a computer form ? a
"bubble sheet" ? for multiple-
choice exams in many classes.
Computer forms are used
because they save time for
professors who have many exams
lo grade in a little time.
I At ECU, bubble sheets are
graded at the Computer Information
Service office on the first floor of
Austin Building.
Barbara Briggs, a computer
operator at CIS, has graded bubble
sheet exam forms since 1982. She
says her job is not hectic during
most of the semester.
However, for the last two weeks
of each semester, the pace changes.
"Exam time is crazy Briggs

The SGA Documents Handbook
lists cheating as one of four
"academic integrity violations The
others listed are plagiarism,
falsification and attempts.
Cheating is giving or receiving
any assistance on an assignment
resulting in the student gaining an
unfair advantage.
Plagiarism is copying any form
of written work and claiming it as
your own thought or idea
Falsification is any lie, spoken
or written, pertaining to any form of
academic work.
The handbook defines
"attempts" as any attempt of
cheating, plagiarism or falsification;

violation constitutes a university
honor code violation and is grounds
for punishment
According to the handbook,
possible punishments arc fines,
written reprimands, community
service, academic probation and
expulsion from the university.
The procedure a professor must
follow to punish a student for
cheating is defined in the handbook.
It calls a "primary interview"
between the professor and the
student within three class days of the
alleged violation.
This initial interview must be
observed by a non-participating
faculty member, usually the
chairperson of the department, and
any faculty or student representative
the accused student desires.
At this meeting both sides
present evidence toward their case
and if the matter is still unresolved,
the charge is referred to the
Academic Integrity Board.
The Academic Integrity Board is
composed of four faculty members
elected by the Faculty Senate, three
students nominated by the SGA
Executive Council. The Dean of
Students serves as administrative
officer of the board.
The professor and the student
present their cases to the board, and
the board makes a verdict.
The student has a right 10
appeal any decision made by the
Academic Integrity Board.
According to the handbook, the
student is always innocent until
proven guilty by the board.
Most prolcssors find the
procedure defined in the handbook
inconvenient to pursue, especially in
plagiarism cases when evidence
against the student may be vague.
Maria Denoia. SGA attorney
general, said the Academic Integrity,
Board has only met twice this year.
Both cases involved plagiarism and
both cases were unanimous
decisions against die student.
According to Denoia. the case
usually will not reach the board
unless the student believes the
professor was "out of line
Most faculty members contacted
said they usually deal with any
cheating violations one on one with
the student rather than follow the
procedure according to the handbook
Dean of Students Ron Speier
recognized the fact that some faculty
members do not report instances of
cheating to his office.
He said a faculty member who
fails to report cheating is violating
the academic integrity policy.
Speier said the policy is just as
much a faculty policy as it is a
student policy.
When a teacher docs not report
instances of cheating, it makes it
difficult for repeal offenders to be
punished because the first offense is
not annotated in the students records,
according to Speier.

Bubble sheets swamp CIS during exams

' For years, students have been
required to use a computer form ? a
"bubble sheet" ? for multiple-
choice exams in many classes.
S Computer forms are used
because they save time for
professors who have many exams
to-grade in a little time.
I At ECU, bubble sheets are
graded at the Computer Information
Service office on the first floor of
Aastin Building.
Barbara Briggs, a computer
operator at CIS, has graded bubble
shfeet exam forms since 1982. She
says her job is not hectic during
most of ihc semester.
However, for the last two weeks
of each semester, the pace changes.
"Exam time is crazy Briggs
said. "During exams, every two
hours, like at 10:15. you can look
out and we have 10 to 20 people
coming lo ihc window
Professors or their assistants
drop off completed tests at a
reception window at the front
entrance of Austin, she said.
Professors then fill out a form
requesting how they would like ihc
results printed as well as other
information that can be gathered
from the lest results.
Briggs said the operators
process around 460 tests a month
during most of the semester.
By contrast, Briggs said
operators at CIS processed 570 tests
during exams last December.
"The final grading period, that's
when it increases tremendously she
said. "About half come on exam
week. You can get a hundred
sometimes in just a couple of days.
Briggs said the amount of time
it takes to grade an entire test
depends on the size of the class, the
length of the test and instructor's
special requests about the data.
"Our turn-around time is two
hours, but we can get them out in
about 15 minutes if we have to
Briggs said.
After they arc received by the
operators at CIS, the forms arc fed
into a machine that reads the
blacked-in bubbles and marks which
answers are incorrecL
Briggs emphasized the
importance of nearness when filling
out a bubble sheet during a test. "If
there's smudge marks on it, the
machine will kick it out she sa?
The information gathered from
the bubble sheets is then transferred
to the University's Mainframe
computer, which grades each test
An accuracy program is run
after the tests are graded to ensure
the validity of the results.

The N.C. Highway Patrol uses
new device to increase arrests
By SHANNAN COPELAND
Staff writer
Arrests for driving while im-
paired are increasing, partly be-
cause of bcucr ways of detecting,
according to the North Carolina
Highway Patrol.
Sgt. Dennis Campbell, who is a
trooper in Pill County, said every
trooper is now carrying a device
called an alco-sensor.
An alco-sensor is a portable
brcalhalizcr that gives a very accu-
rate reading. It is about as accurate
as ihc breathalizcr, Campbell said.
Campbell said there were more
than 60,000 DWI arrests in North
Carolina in 1990. In Pitt and Martin
counties combined, there were
about 1,300.
"This year, we're running a
little behind Campbell said.
"We're running about 12 percent
under
Campbell said these figures arc
comparable to national statistics.
Everyone's figures run about the
same, he said.
The fine for a DWI is $500 or
six months in jail, or both. For re-
peal offenders, it can be more.
There is a stale felony DWI law
for anyone who has more than three
DWI convictions in a seven-year
period. This carries a mandatory
one-year sentence, he said.
With ECU situated in Pitt
County, one may wonder if it is the
college students affecting the num-
ber of DWI arrests.
Campbell said probably not

However, according to a recent
study by ihc National Clearing-
house for Alcohol and Drug Infor-
mation, the typical college student
spends more money on alcohol
than on book
The statistics said more than 40
million gallons of alcohol arc con-
sumed at colleges across the coun-
try: enough to fill an Olympic-sized
pool at every university in the
United States.
There are many alternatives to
driving drunk.
A taxi is a safer ride than a ride

Program improves student-athletes' skills
ByCHAOGRIER
Staff writer
To support student-athletes in
their academic efforts, ECU has im-
plemented a program of student
development within the university's
ath letic department.
The student development pro-
gram monitors the academic
progress of ECU athletes and keeps
them on schedule to graduate. It also
arranges tutors for athletes who are
struggling, but want to do better.
The program also encourages
? athletes to participate in non-athletic
activities and community service.
Student Development Director
Pam Penland has two full-time as-
sistants and a small army of student-
helpers. She said that going to class
is essential to academic success.
"We monitor all of our athletes'
sjsjfjsjall progress through evalua-
tion forms used by the professors
Penland said. "This procedure gives
the instructors valuable input
into die development of
athletes as students
Any athlete who receives poor
evaluations or who has a low GPA
must attend a supervised study hall
Monday through Thursday nights.
Study hall provides athletes
with a quiet environment to study
and gives them the guidance of
knowledgeable proctors.
Lisa Edwards, academic coordi-
nator for athletes, said the goal of
the program is to help athletes help
themselves The ultimate objective
is for every athlete to graduate.
When an athlete is working hard
in class but still is struggling to
make good grades, the student
development program provides a
tutor. There are more than 60
tutors on staff who can assist
athletes hi subject matter as
diverse as biochemistry and
geology, Edwards said.
Tutors are trained and supervised
by Penland and Edwards. The tutors
are there to help the athletes leant,
but not to give answers. The tutors
attend study hall with their assigned
athletes to help them succeed.
Edwards oversees the tutorial
program, and only athletes who put
forth a sincere effort receive the
aid of tutors.
The student development pro-
gram promotes developing well-
rounded people. Penland sail
Some athletes, such as senior
football player R.L. Beemon (4.0
GPA), do not need external
academic motivation.
These athletes are encouraged
to participate in other services

helps students from writing their
resume, to the interviewing process,
to getting a job.
All registered students receive a
bulletin called "The Job Guide The
guide contains campus interview
dates and a list of the job openings
sent to the office from companies.
The service also offers resume
and interviewing workshops, career
counseling, information on
businesses, school systems and
governmental agencies, free
handouts on resume tips, magazines
and a college placement annual.
In the interviewing workshops
Westmoreland shows films about
what happens in most interviews, he
said.
"Wc show the kinds of things
they should be" doing posture, body
language and general conversaUonal
concerns Westmoreland said.
Students also watch a video ol a
mock interview between the student
and Westmorland.
"I try to coach and point out
things as wc go along he said.
Next, they go over the video
together to sec where his or her
laults might lie. "I usual!) doti'l

The office also help students
get their resumes together by .n ing
them handouts of sample resumes
and reviewing theirs.
"Wc try to help present the
information in the best possible waj
for that person Wcsunoreland said.
Westmoreland said students should
register with Career Planning and
Placement Service by Sept. 1 of the
year before they graduate. This
allows students time to register,
participate in the workshops and do
on campus interviews, which lake
place between (Xtohcr and April.
Students who are not graduating
for a while can also benefit from the
service, he said. Even though they
would not be registering, they can
still take advantage of the
workshops, counseling and a
computer program, SlCH which
stands lor System of Interactive
Guidance and Information.
Westmoreland said SIG1 helps
students identify what jobs may be
right for them. SIG1 starts by listing
different values to the student.
He said students pick which of
these values are his or hers. For
example. "I want to be my own
boss " The program then narrows
down a list of jobs that lit his or her
values.
Alter the siudeni uses the
program, "we can figure out things
we could be doing to get them
started toward their career and lo
make the necessary contacts
Westmoreland said. Faculty and
alumni also use the program to see
what other careers are available, he
said
For graduating students, a
registration packet is available at the
office. The folder contains reference
sheets and pamphlets explaining
what the center offers and
information cards that the office
keeps on file SO they know who is
interested in what field.
Alter registering, the office sets
up a credentials file on the student,
which contains a resume and
references. This file is sent lo
prospective employers upon request
The office sends each student's
first 10 copies out free, bul there is
a SI charge for each additional one
after that.
The ser ices offered by the office
are free lo students and alumni until
one year after graduation. After that,
there is a S7 fee.
The office is located in Bloxton

donations of various kinds. In 1974,
the center received its first funding
from United Way. Shortly after it

hiring of its first director.
Since then, a few changes have
been made. From a universit)

into a community-wide center. The
arrival of the director provided a
more structured organization,
including formalized training,

The center is open 24 hours a

provide people with the counseling
of various matters.
Mary Smith, current
administrative director, said: "We

Andy Johns checks Marc Shinebarger's blood pressure at the Human Performance Lab.
Greenville residents can now
become aware of the possibilities of
cardiovascular disease and how they
can avoid this problem.
Through the Human
Performance Lab, located in the
Sports Medicine building, residents
and students can enroll in the
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor
Identification Program.
Dr. Gay Israel, director of the
Human Performance Lab, goes
around the community speaking to
Lion's and Kiwanis clubs about the
risk of heart disease. During his
presentation, he shows a 45-minute
slide show and explains the
problems one can expect from heart

Israel speaks to bankers,
insurance people and all walks of
life about the program. At the end of
the program, Israel receives phone
numbers from interested participants
and later contacts them.
Andy Johns, a graduate student
in the department of health and
physical education and recreation,
and a lab assistant with the program,
said that the program offers a
cheaper and more personal
alternative to hospital care.
"The program costs only $200,

Johns said that the program
consists of three stages.
The client is taken through a
preliminary stage. This involves
checking the client's blood,
cholesterol level, blood pressure and
lung function. Then they check the
client's strength, flexibility and
body composition, which is checked
by skin folds and underwater
weighing. An electrocardiogram will
also be taken.
The client's second stage is a
graded exercise test on a treadmill,
which grades fitness and screens for
heart disease.
The last stage is a personalized
follow-up consultation with the
client.

Fishy business is success
By CHRISTY WILSON
Staff writer
When John Wiley Jr. bought a
fish lank to fill up space in his
college apartment, he did not realize
il would become his business.
Wiley, 23, of Raleigh, has
owned The Greenville Aquarium for
almost two years.
"I had a friend in Baltimore who
had a 55-gallon tank filled with all
kinds of wild-looking fish he said.
"I decided I would get one and start a
new hobby
Wiley became addicted to his
aquarium. Within the next six
months Wiley had three large tanks.
Soon after that, he got a job
working at a pet store.
"I worked there for about a
year he said. "I learned a lot about
fish, and it helped to give me a base
on understanding the type of care
fish need
During this time, Wiley's
hobby grew; he had 20 different fish
tanks in his new house.
"I would go to Raleigh to buy
fish to put in my tanks he said.
"After a while, I had lots of people
wanting to buy them from nic
Wiley made plans to open his
own aquarium store. He hooked
some investors on his idea, and
together they have reeled in a
successful business.
"I was spending up to $6,(XX) a
year in fish and upkeep he said. "I
thought if I could spend that much
money, why not make it back?"
For many years, men's clothing
has been looked at as just something

264 driving range
makes 'Big Splash'
By CHAD GRIER
Staff writer
Two local entrepreneurs have
created a big wave on the
entertainment scene with The Big
Splash aqua driving range. They
have the only lake in Greenville
designed for hilling golf balls.
"The original idea was Chuck's
Drink and Drive named for a friend
of ours who had gotten a DWI,
owner Tim Norris said. "Insurance
problems kept us from serving
beer Beer or not. The Big Splash
has become one of the hottest,
and cheapest, sources of fun
in Greenville.
Norris and his partner, Steve
Curtis, scoured the eastern North
Carolina golf market for an idea that
was both popular and affordable.
"To get in the golf business you
either open a golf course, a pro
shop, or a driving range. We opted
for the range Norris said.
Norris said that location is vital
to the success of any business.
Finding affordable land for their
business was not easy. "I contacted
die owner of the man-made lake off
Highway) 264 and told him I
wanted to hit golf balls in his
water Norris saidHe thought I
was nuts
Nuts? Maybe. Successful? Yes.
Norris and Curtis have climbed
their way into the latest trend in
golfing. Their aqua range includes a
putting green and a chipping range,
and they offer individual golfing
instruction, club repair, and clinics.
Golf has been experiencing a
recent boom in popularity, and the
sport is branching away from its
traditional roots of being only for
the wealthy.
"We stay open year-round any
day that the temperature is above 40
degrees Norris said. "But people
love to come out and hit balls

here and I'll open it up for anybody

The most popular target is the
boat used to retrieve the balls. "Last
summer I paid a guy to just drive

could hit balls at him Norris said.

The outdoor recreation program
includes far more than just camping
equipment. Students can rent soft-

they can plan summer trips.
A variety of trips arc offered

windsurfing afternoons to a white-
water rafting weekend.
Other trips include horseback

Pro's in Olympics
By BOBBY HOPES
Staff writer
The United States will bring a
basketball team to Barcelona next
year that will be lacking amateur
collegiate talent, but have the lop
professional players of the United
States on the court.
A ruling by the International
Governing Association of the
Olympics in April, 1989. made it
possible for professional athletes to
participate in Olympic competition.
With this done, it will soon be time
to sec which professional players
will tryouL The latest response to a
player's poll was "overwhelming"
said Charles Grantham of the NBA
Players Association in the February
12 article in Sports Illustrated. Over
80 of the 1991 NBA all-star
basketball squad gave a "tentative
yes" to the question of whether or
not they would like lo participate.
Among those players were
Magic Johnson, Charles Barklcy,
Michael Jordan and Carl Malonc to
name a few.
The team will also have a
professional coach for the games.
The chosen coach Chuck Daly, of
the Detroit Pistons qualified for ihc
job which required at least eight
years experience, including three
years of professional coaching
experience. Daly has won two NBA
championship titles and was the
foremost choice on a list which
included Larry Brown, head coach
for the Houston Rockets, and
Golden State Warrior head coach
Don Nelson.
Daly, an NBA coach who has
won two championship titles, has
had litile experience with the
international game but said his
assistant coaches "will have very
recent experience" in international
coaching. Daly's staff will consist
of one other NBA head coach, and
two collegiate head coaches. One of
the collegiate coaches being looked
at to fill one of the positions on the
Olympic staff is Duke basketball
head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Krzyzcwski who has coached a U.S.
international basketball team
saidit'U be easier to go from pro
coaching to international experience
than from college to international"
because NBA rules such as the
shooting clock, and the 3-point line
arc the most stringent in the world.
The United States team will not
be the only basketball team playing
with professional talent. Among
the teams participating at this level
is the Yugoslavia national team,
who won the gold medal in the
games at Seoul. The team could
have at least four players from the
NBA including Vlade Divac of the
Los Angeles Lakers.
With all this talent for the
American team many people
anticipate that the United States
team will crush opposing countries.
but some say this will not happen.
In the Fcb 12 SI article NBC
anaylist Al Mcguire said "An NBA
all-star team will not win an
Olympic gold medal "The reason a
team of superstars doesn't always
win is because the game isn't
always played at the highest level.
Sometimes a less talented team
brings the better team down to its
level said Boston Celtic Larry Bird
in the Fcb 12 SI article.
Keeping all this in mind the
United States will undoubtedly bring
to Barcelona one of its top teams
ever. "You're talking about
awesome talent, as talented a team
as has ever been put together Daly
said.

Underwater hockey is swimming success
By TRACY KIRK
Staff writer
Underwater hockey, which
originated 35 years ago, is relatively
obscure in America, but very popu-
lar in Canada and Europe. The sport
was introduced to East Carolina
University four years ago by stu-
dents visiting from South Africa.
"We are North Carolina's only un-
derwater hockey club and one of the
fastest growing in the United
States said Bill Thiesen, president
of ECU'S underwater hockey team.
Underwater hockey shares
similar traits with ice hockey. The
game is just as rough, and players
are required to wear equipment such
as gloves and ear protectors.
This sport has its obvious dif-
ferences from its ice counterpart as
well. Underwater hockey consists
of 10 players on each team. Six
people play continuously and four
rotate in during the game. Each
game lasts 33 minutes: two 15
minute halves and break lime.
The most obvious difference is
that the game is played entirely un-
derwater. "The key is a players aer-
obic condition and how long they
can stay under water Thiesen said.
Equipment for this sport is not
readily available. The equipment is
constructed by individual team
members. Although there are
guidelines set by the Under Water
Society of America, standardization
of equipment is difficult. At games,
officials inspect equipment and
verify adherence to UWSA standards.
Several of the ECU team mem-
bers constructed a state-of-the-art
goal post made entirely of PCB, an
inexpensive, durable plastic. The
team is proud that they were the first
American club to build a regulation
goal. "No one in the country has
anything like it Thiesen said.
"We're really fortunate our team
members arc so talented
Although not traditionally a
spectator sport, fans can watch by
getting in the pool with the players.
"Our pool at Mingcs has the room
and occasionally people get in the
pool lo watch Thiesen said.
ECU hosted a sanctioned
tournament on March 16 and 17 of
1991. This tournament was their
introduction to underwater hockey
competition on the national level.
Although the two ECU teams
placed fourth and sixth, out of six
teams, the games were competitive.
Thiesen said the ECU purple and
gold teams did well for their first
tournament. "We have national
recognition now Thiesen said.
The team will travel to Florida
June 8 and 9, to compete with the
Gainesville club. This is the first
off-site competition since the teams
formation. By next fall the team
hopes to begin traveling regularly.
Most of the team members,
who arc students in Leisure Systems
Studies. Maritime History and
Biology, are certified divers. This
is a great way for divers to stay in
shape during the off season. "It im-
proves under water endurance, keeps
you in condition and gets you
accustomed lo breathing under wa-
ter Thiesen said.
Because there arc no other local
teams, the ECU players scrimmage
amongst themselves the majority of
the season. The East Carolina club
is trying to get local military per-
sonnel and area colleges to form un-
derwater hockey teams of their own.
Thiesen said that he feels the Navy
Seals, an elite division of the Navy
specializing in amphibious opera-
tions, would be the perfect
competition for the East Carolina
team. "I'm sure that after being in
the desert all those months they arc
due for a cooling off Thiesen said.
ECU grad takes 'get fit' attitude to Beverly Hills

Attention all aerobic nuts:
This summer may be your last
chance to "bust-a-move" with Mark
Brunetz, international fitness
consultant and exercise physiologist
for the Jane Fonda Workout in
Beverly Hills. Calif.
If you are actively involved in
aerobics and spend any time in
Greenville, you have probably heard
of Greenville's fitness guru, Mark
Brunetz. Schedule permitting, the
ECU graduate plans on visiting his
alma matter at least once this sum-
mer, although no date has been set
Visits to Greenville are becom-
ing increasingly difficult for
Brunetz. In the next month his
international fitness tour, titled
"Bust-a-Movc will take him to at
least five countries, including Italy,
Africa, England, Spain and Mexico.
When he returns to his home in
Los Angeles in June, he will begin
shooting Jane Fonda's 13th fitness
video. June is also the month
Brunetz will serve as a honorary
committee member on a national
campaign for cancer research.
In addition to this busy sched-
ule, Brunetz runs his own company,
Exerfit USA. He also serves as the
program director for a celebrity
training service, L.A. Trainers.
While still a student at East
Carolina University, Brunetz learned
of a job opportunity with the Fonda
Co. while attending a conference in
Maryland. The announcement,
through a career services bulletin,
called for an exercise physiologist
"I remember my colleagues and
I laughing in envy of the person who
would land that job Brunei, said,
"and I knew instantly it was mine.
After 700 applications, two phone
interviews and a two-day trip to
L.A Jane hired me. It seemed to
happen overnight
As the exercise physiologist for
the Jane Fonda Workout in Beverly
Hills, his primary responsibilities
include product developing and di-
recting the studio aerobic and per-
sonal training programs. Brunetz re-
cently choreographed two children's
workout videos in coordination with
Jane Fonda. The videos debued on
the television program "Funhouse
"I'm proud to have been a cre-
ative force in Jane's first two videos
for kids Brunetz said. "Warner
Home Video distributes the tapes
and has already pre-sold over
100,000 copies to date
Brunetz said he feels his aca-
demic background combined with
his dance training has been very in-
strumental in creating his image as a
"scientist who can groove He
plans to release his own video in
Italy and is currently negotiating a
fitness show pilot series in
Guadalahara, Mexico.
Brunetz laid the foundation for
his booming career here in
Greenville about nine years ago.
After obtaining his undergraduate
degree in biology, he went on to get
his master's in exercise physiology.
While amassing knowledge at
East Carolina, Brunetz was also
accumulating quite a following in
his ECU aerobics classes. A risk
taker, Brunetz entered the field of
aerobics when male instructors were
virtually unheard of and it has
worked to his advantage.
"He's been able to corner an
untapped market said David
Brunetz, Mark's brother and East
Coast workshop coordinator.
While in Greenville, Brunetz
also taught aerobics and consulted
for local health clubs. Word of his
teaching and consulting practice
spread throughout North Carolina,
and the workshop offers started
pouring in. It was then that he con-
ceived the idea for his company,
which specializes in fitness instruc-
tor training workshops and product
development and consulting.
Exerfit USA grew rapidly as
companies go, but it didn't really
take off until he relocated to Los
Angeles. "L.A. is the fitness capital
of the world Brunetz said. "My
move to Los Angeles was the best
step in my career, followed closely
by my job at Jane Fonda's
"Jane has given me the oppor-
tunity to make contacts that would
have taken 10 limes as long to make

Although quite confident in his
abilities and the future of his

his success takes him by surprise.

While many students at East
Carolina University enjoy watching
their football and basketball teams
compete against other schools, other
students enjoy playing in the
intramural sports that ECU offers.
The Intramural Recreational
Service at ECU is the organization
in charge of directing, organizing
and coordinating student sporting
events. Currently, there are more
than 34 sporting activities the IRS
offers to students during the school
year. Sports enthusiasts can choose
from a wide variety of sports.
"Intramural sports are important
to a lot of students at ECU said
junior, Sean Smith. "We aren't on
scholarship, but when your playing
in a close game there is really no
difference. You play just as hard
In the 19989-90 school year
nearly 9,000 students participated in
intramural sporting events. "There
are sports that anyone can participate
in freshman Charlie Hiatt said.
"You don't have to be an experienced
athlete, in order to play
The IRS oversees student sports
and coordinates the sporting clubs.
Some of the clubs involved are the
Lacrosse Club, the Rugby Club, and
the Irate (frisbee) Club. The IRS
issues grants which help finance the
clubs, and they also allocate fields
and equipment. "It would be
impossible to have an organized and
successful team without the help of
the IRS, we are lucky to have such a
good program here Lacrosse co-
captain, Brannin Thome said.
For students not interested in
team sports, there are activities set
up for the individual. Aerobics and
swimming are two activities that are
organized for the student interested
in staying fit. The aerobics classes
are taught by instructors in the same
way health clubs teach their classes,
and both Minges and Christianbury
gyms offer swimming pool noun
for students interested in swimming.
Team sports being played
include softball, which is played on
the intramural fields, and indoor
soccer at Christianbury Gym.
Ellen Smith, a member of
Alpha Delta Pi Sorority, said,
"There is something for everybody,
even for people who just enjoy
watching people play sports
The Carolina Princess Fishing
Center, located in Morehead City, is
one of the most popular fishing
businesses in Carteret County.
A spokesman for the Carolina
Princess said that although the
center operates only one day a week
during the off-season months, they
expand their fishing trips to seven
days a week during the summer to
accommodate the more than 8,000
seasonal fishing enthusiasts.
The Carolina Princess fishing
headboat carries up to 100 people
per trip. On alternating days, the
boat goes on half or full-day trips.
A half-day trip takes passengers
about 30 miles offshore, and allows
about three hours for fishing. The
boat makes two half-day trips, and
the price is $25 per person.
The full-day trip, the most
popular among fishermen, carries
passengers 40 to 60 miles offshore
to the Gulf Stream. This trip allows
five hours to fish, and the price is
$50 per person. On a full-day trip,
there is a better chance of catching a
greater variety of large fish.
The Carolina Princess is a
bottom-fishing boat These trips are
equipped with mates that will help
you bait your hook and remove any
catches. Snapper, grouper, and sea
bass are the main catches from
bottom fishing, the spokesman said.
These boats also supply the
necessary equipment needed for the
trip. A cooler to carry fish home is
all that a fisher needs to bring. Most
fishing centers offer a cleaning
service on their docks. For a small
fee, the customers can have their
fish cleaned and filleted.
Some fishing centers offer
charier boats. Charter boats carry a
maximum of six people and cost
$600-$700 per day. Customers can
troll or sport fish, instead of bottom
fish. Fishermen pull up king
mackerel, Spanish mackerel and
dolphin, a spokesman said.
Fishers who are vacationing and
have no place to store their catch
have die choice of selling the fish to
the local fish markets. These
businesses will buy a catch by the
pound before cleaning. Spanish
mackerel and grouper usually go for
the highest market prices. If it was a
lucky day, the price of the fishing
trip will be covered by these sales.
The Carolina Princess Fishing
Center and other fishing centers on
the North Carolina coast offer a va-
riety of fishing that is exciting for
both the beginner and the expert

the Miller School, a private military

cated in Charlortesville, Va. The
1,600 acres of wooded area sur-
rounding the school and the school's
lake were used in filming, and the
school's football field became an
airport of U.S. Army Apache and
Blackhawk helicopters.
According to production de-
signer, Chester Kaczenski, the film-
makers wanted the school to have a
wealthy look: traditional dark tones
and mahoganv wood. Since direc-
tor Daniel Petrie, Jr. went to board-
ing school he had a lot of input in the
designing.
The film production wrapped
up in San Antonio, Texas, at the U.S.
Post Office in Almo Plaza, which
doubled for a courthouse in
Barranquilla, Colombia, where the
terrorists first try to force the release
of the drug czar.
Accord ing to the film's prod uc-
ers, San Antonio had the perfect
Spanish colonial architecture to
double for Colombia, and Alamo
Square was easily transformed into
downtown Barranquilla. All store
and street signs were changed to
Spanish and a newspaper vendor
was set up with Spanish-language

Wearing seatbelts prevents intimate knowledge of dashboard

Would you dive off a nine-

h0 mph without the protection of
safety belts or air bags?
If your car were to crash at 60
save your life even at speeds as low
as 12 mph, and most accidents oc-
cur at speeds less than 40 mph.
Finding excuses for not wear-
ing safety belts, some individuals
say a safety belt would trap acci-
dent victims in burning or sub-
merged cars. Less than one out of
every 200 serious accidents involve

according to Dr. Steve Taylor, water.
driver's education professor.
About 25 million people are
injured in car accidents each year,
and about 45,000die. If more people
buckle up or install air bags these
figures can be reduced by almost
half, as well as the severity of the
injuries, Taylor says.
A pamphlet published by the
Governor's Highway Safety pro-
gram states that safety belts can
In such a case, a safety belt
would probably protect the victim
from injury or unconsciousness so
that he could remain unhurt and
able to escape.
Others say chances of survival
are greater when a victim is thrown
from the vehicle, instead of remain-
ing in a crashing car because of a
safety belt. Getting thrown from a
vehicle is more serious than it seems,
though. The only way out of the
vehicle is through the window or
the windshield,and thelandingspot
mav be in front of a moving vehicle,
on top of trees, rocks or pavement.
L. Taylor says some people
often wear their safetv belts but only
on long trips or on the freeways.
Ironically, he says freeways are the
safest roads to be on. Speeds may
be 65 rhphand greater, butheacT-dn
collisions, pedestrians, houses, and
objects, such as telephone poles are
eliminated, he adds.
The pamphlet also states that a
final excuse for not wearing safety
belts concerns the individual's
choice, because he may feel that he
is only hurting himself. A person
who is not wearing a safety belt
may be thrown against other pas-
sengers, injuring them. Ultimately,
the family and fnends of a dead or
injured accident victim, who was
not wearing his safety belt, may
suffer emotionally.
Anaircushion nstraintsvstem
is also designed toincreasechances
of survival. A pamphlet published
bv the Department of Transporta-
tion states that dnver air bags and
inflatorsareplaced in thehur(rhe
sharing wheel,miltfytterfger air
bags and inflatorsare placed in the
dashboard.
When the car starts, the system
ischarged and ready toinflate in the
event of a frontal crash at 10 mph
and greater. The sudden decolora-
tion causes the nitrogen gas inflator
to inflate the bag, and then the hag
deflates. The process takes about
125 of a second.
Air bags must be aplaced after
being inflated. Safety belts, too,
should be replaced after being sub-
mitted to high levels of stress. The
costs of installing and replacing air
bags are considered economical

By Heather Modlin
Staff Writer
A Forum on Public Art was
held on Thursday, April 11, at 7
p.m. in Jenkin's Auditonum. The
forum, open to the public, was spon-
sored by the North Carolina Arts
Council.
A proposal to appropriate $25
million funding for renovations and
additions that will expand Joyner
Library's current square footage by
49 percent will soon go before the
general assembly.
The new addi tions will create a
main entrance which will open to
the southern currently less devel-
oped side of campus.
Visual Arts Director Jean
McLaughlin discussed current
guidelines in Percentage for Arts
Programs in North Carolina.
McLaughlin was accompanied by
panelists from the Joyner Library
Public Art Commission Selection
Committee, including Minnesota's
Director of the Percent for Art pro-
gram Regina Hannegan and ECU
artist and professor Clarence Mor-
gan.
Other panelists included Direc-
tor of Joyner Library Dr. Kenneth
Marks, architect Larry Robbs, artist
and chairman of Louisburg
College's Department of Fine and
Performing Arts William Hinton,
and Eugene Langford of the State
Campus Planning Office.
ECU student panelists included
art students Ethan Skemp, Sarah
Singh, and Jams Henderson.
The selection panelist reviewed
200 applications from artists work-
ing in a variety of different medi-
ums, in search of the artist that will
be commissioned to design the
$88,000 public art project. The ap-
plications contained nine slides of
the artists' recent work, an accom-
panying slide script, a current re-
sume, and a letter describing the

The Fixx returns with revamped sound

Special to The East Carolinian
The Rxx has a new record on
the market after a two year record-
ing break. The album is titled Ink
and features a dynamic collection
of songs that will surely add to the
artistic credibility the band has al-
ready earned.
The Rxx has developed a new
sound for themselves with the re-
leaseofJn. The band has escaped
the dense keyboard-driven sound
that was the basis of their previous
albums and moved intoaraw,hard-
driven, guitar sound.
The Rxx's guitar-driven em-
phasis is very powerful and appro-

was completely out of touch with
the current youth culture.
My day was over; the grave
yawned before me. And younger,
meaner, leaner twenty-something
hacks were getting ready to shove
me in.
The worst problem was the
lingo. If I could just master this new
slang, 1 thought, the rest would fol-
low. I decided to go to my parents'
suburban home for the weekend
and intensively train for my return
match with the young witch with
the false face.
I'd listen to the local college
radio station, make a few calls to
friends still in school?and once
again I'd be honed to a razor-sharp
edge of hipness. Or so I thought.
Arriving at the old homestead,
I expected a warm greeting. "Hello
I called, but there was no answer.
Wandering into the living room, I
found my parents hovering over
my younger brother.
He was lying on the couch,
home from college for the weekend
with newly acquired rainbow
dreads, colorful denim hat and face
tattooed on the back of his head.
My mother was feeding him grapes
as he reclined, in Roman fashion.
My father was removing bun-

me to braid my hair like that, and
maybe you know a good tattoo par-

I ran out of breath, and my
brother's "face" convulsed as the
other side of his head spluttered
with mirth. "Jack my ass, thee art
maxin' faced, mon! Give it up,
shiv?"
My father smiled, tears of pride
inhiseyes. "Son,you'rethecoolest
he told my brother, gently rubbing
his face against his foot like a cat.
"You, on the other hand ?" My
own parents began to point and
laugh at my clothes. When my
mother ceremoniously unrolled her
Supp-Hose and handed them to
me, I left the room, cheeks burning,
and took refuge in what had once
been my own room.
My old collection of well-
thumbed pornography comforted
me a little, though the same cannot
be said of the moldy towels and
broken chairs my paren ts had stored
where my bed used to be.
I thought about it again, this

that the painof aging was natural. It
was only right that I step aside, give
the new generation its day, and en-
joy my golden years as best I could.

The most important area of

supportive family. She speaks on
the phone to her mother to get
support and encouragement for
school work and track.
She also has a close relation-

to, her grandmother. Since Roseboro
