Repurcussions surrounding
housing reductions examined

Staff Writer
Let's see, do I want a Milky
Way, Fritos, a toothbrush, a con-
dom, or all four? This fall in the
ECU dorms, these could be your
choices. The idea about making
condoms available in the dorms
is part of the AIDS awareness
campaign.
"We are exploring the idea
of having condoms included as
one of the items in the vending
machines rather than condom
machines in the bathroom said
David Fmmerling, oi-m of stu-
dent development "If it is fea-
sible we would like to put them
in the vending mat tunes like any
other health care product"
The idea of condoms in the
dorm has been turned down
twice in SO, A until spring of 1992
when a resolution encouraging
AJDs awareness by having con-
doms easily assessible in the resi-
dence halls
"This is the biggest step
we've made said SGA Presi-
dent Courtney Jones. "SGA has
been active in the past in trying to
get condoms in the dorm, this
time the administration listened
and has done something about
it
One of the ideas in having the
condoms in thedorm is to include
accompanying literature about
AIDS and other STD's. The idea
of the literature is to educate stu-
dents on the pressing idea of safer
sex.
"This generation of college
students needs to realize that
AIDS is real and serious
Fmmerling said. "The issue needs
to be addressed, people need to
understand how divisions about
sex can be irresponsible, and now
Al l)S is a matter of lifeand death
Currently Fmmerling and
others are exploring the idea and
hoping to have thecondomsavail-
able in the dorms this fall. "We're
just n iw laving down the ground-
work Fmmerling said. Fhereare
plenty of vending machinesavail-
able, now the packaging and the
adual trial run through the ma-
chines must be tested.
The word around the cam-
pusspreads rapidly about the new
item in the vending machines. "I
think ha vingcondoms in thedorm
is a really gtxxi idea because it's
more convenient said senior
Tasha TriceTeople will use them
more when they're easy to get
"Having condoms in the
dorm is a gcxxl iiiea, but you can
get them cheaper at student
health said senior William
Gessaman. "It helps in an emer-
gency situation, it's better than
saying forget it
The opposing side of the idea
of having condoms in the resi-
dence halls has moral implica-
tions.
"The moral issue becomes
the spotlight, many people do
believe that sex today is taken for
granted, many don't engage in
sex ami shouldn't be exposed to
sex said a male sophomore . "1
do not agree with having con-
doms in thedonn, it creates chaos
or distracts from one's morals or
beliefs
CONDCDMS
Preventing STDs: A
Checklist
� You can eliminate your risk entirely by not having sex
with anyone (abstinence) or by having sex only with a
non-infected partner who has sex only with you (mutual
monogamy).
� 'Ihe more sexual partners vou have, the greater the risk
you have, the greater your risk of contracting a sexually
transmitted disease (STD).
� Many STDs have no symptoms, so people often do not
know they are infected. If you are not sure that your
partner is free of infection, use protection dunng sex.
Condoms, used properly from start to finish each time you
have sexual intercourse,are the best protection. Sperm iadal
foams and jellies offer additional protection. Thev are best
used along with condoms, not in place of them.

The uni-

Umesh Gulati, chairman of the university's

FC'U's student and faculty complains
about poor library facilities may come to
an end if the North Carolina Legislature
passes the Capital Improvements Bond
that will allow the public to vote on a $25
million addition to Joyner Library.
If approved by the state Hous, the bill
would authorize the issuing of $600 mil-
lion in bonds bv the state. The bill will be
voted on by the general public Nov. 3,
1991
The money raised would then be used
to make construction additions and lm-
provementson thecampusesof all lfSstate
universities as well as at community col-
leges and public schools across the state,
including the money for joyner Library.
According to state Senator Ed War-
ren, chairman of the Education Oversight
Committee and Pitt County representa-
tive, Joyner Library is the fop pnority of
the bill'
"It is essential that we find funds for
joyner Library Warren said.
"Right now, joyner can accommo-
date about 10,000 students comfortably,
but there are almost 17,000 students cur-
rently enrolled at ECU.
Warren said he sees this bond refer-
endum as a key to the progress of ECU
and its ability to grow into a top univer-
sity in the state.
"Wecan't let tough budgetary times
tear down what we have struggled to
build over the past decade he said.
Bill Dansey, chairman of the Finance
and Facilities Committee of the Board of
Trustees, said the bond referendum is the
only chance ECU will have for expansion
funding in the near future.
"The money from these bonds wili
meet facility needs that haven't been met
by the state he said.
Dansey also said the $1.4 million in-
vested in designing the addition is a gixxi
start to the project.
"Unfortunately, we have come to a
standstill until the state comes up with
the monev he said.
Dansey also explained that state law
requires the entire $25 million be raised
before contraction can begin Therefore,
construction will not begin until after the
November vote.
Kenneth Marks, thedirector of joyner
Library, said the addition will not only
expand all existing services and functions
but will also add a few new services.

SGA book swap to
continue fall semester
By Kimberly Williams
SUff Writer
In an attempt to fight the high prices
of textbooks, the SGA implemented the
new book exchange program at the end of
the spring semester.
The program, which is off to a slow
but hopeful start, allows students who
wish to sell books to enter information
into the computer system, and it allows
students who wish to buy books the op-
portunity to obtain a list of people selling
books. a
The book exchange program is not
currently available to students during the
summer sessions but will be in use again
at the beginning of the fall semester.
"We had about 200 students enter
their books into the computers said Joey
Johnston, who is in charge of the book
exchange program. "Probably about half
of those people are still in the computer
One of the problems that the SGA
book exchange committee is dealing with
is that many students want their money
instantly and do not want to wait to enter
their books in the computers and try to sell
them that way.
Johnston said most of thestudents who
were leaving school for the summer and
who had not sold their books by the time
they were ready to leave, took their infor-
mation out of the computers and went and
sold their books at the Student Store or
University Book Exchange.
One of the biggest challenges of the
new book exchange program is proving to
students that the money they will save
using the system is worth waiting a little
extra time.
Johnston said that if students just wait
a month, it will save them money. "The
average was $6 more saved and $6 more
made per book he said.
The SGA book exchange committee is
also looking for more financial backing.
Johnston, who is also the SGA legislator,
said oeca use the program was implemented
so late, the committee was only given $200
to work with.
Students can restassu red that the book
exchange committee has done their best to
get accurate listings of what books are
needed foreach academic department, with
the exception of a few small departments.

Employee files $350,000 lawsuit
By Matthew Jones
Managing Editor
An ECU employee filed a lawsuit last
week demanding over $350 AX) in damages
related tothewiretappingof her Public Safety
phone linedetailed in last month's grand jury
indictment
Public Safety secretary Patricia Hair Bu I-
lockfiled thesuitagainstTeddy LeeRoberson,
former teteaxTimunk3tiiT�sdirectar,and kirm
Willis Bunus, former captain of investiga-
tions for the campus police department
Bullock's complaint is the second such
lawsuit relating to wiretapping on the cam-
pusof ECU. Although the firstoomplaintwas
filed against two individuals, the university
settled the suit out of court for over $10,000,
Since that time, the university has paid over
$200,000 to other wiretapping claimants.
The university settled most of the claims
for approximately $10,000, the amount
granted by federal law to victims of illegal
wiretapping.
However, Brooks Mills, the individual
whose phone line was tapped in the original
case, received a settlement of over $50,000.
Bullock's demand of $350AX)stems from the
same reason.
"She has a greater privacy interest than
someone who just called up a wiretapped
phone saki Herman Gaskins, Bullock's at-
torney.
The Stale Attorney General's office rep-
resented the defendants to the first wiretap-
ping lawsuit however, whether counsel has
been determined in Bullock's case remains
unclear.
Deputy State Attorney Tom Ziko said his
officee "atfrmtryrotrepresantir
and Burrus. Greenville attorney Myron Hill,
who is representing Burrus in the federal
indictment case, said he has not yet been
contacted onceming Bullock's lawsuit but
the complaint has not yet been served upon
the defendants.

The experience is also reward-
ing for the volunteers involved.
Tammv Treschuk, a criminal jus-

omY gymnastics, a sport she has
been involved with all her life.
"Gymnastics is the hardest
sport for a Special Olympian to
master she said. "It's really an
accomplishment. It's very reward-
ing 10 see the kids do so well after
working with them all year
Besides gymnastics, athletes
can chtxise from track and field,
aquatics, bocce, power lifting, soft-
ball, tennis, volleyball and basket-
ball. Each athlete choose one of the
sports and trains with a volunteer
coach foraminimumof eight weeks.
Greenville, ECU and Titt
County were major contributors to
theSpt ial Olympics. ECU contrib-
uted itsathleticfieldsand will house
and feed the athletes from other
counties.
"Because school is out right
now, we don't have the great num-
ber of students, but this is as much
a Greenville ,Pitt County and East-

one organization said Keith
Fishburne, public relations director
for North Carolina Special Olym-

The North Carolina Special

liee international students are a
catalyst for internationalizing the
campus. Justhavingan international
center or a few more courses in
international studies will not be
enough to internationalize thecam-
pus.
"The international student is
very important, and the Interna-
tional House provides a great at-
traction for choosing ECU or, once
thev have chosen, then staying at
East Carolina University "
According to Gulati, some in-
ternational students expenence a
culture shock w hen they arrive. He
said ECU needs to make their tran-
sition as easy as possible or stu-
dents will either go homeor trans-
fer to another school.

lieve international students are a
catalyst for internationalizing the
campus. J ust having an intematuMial
center or a few more courses in
international studies will not be
enough to internationalize the cam-
pus.
"The international student is
very important, and the Interna-
tional House provides a great at-
traction for choosing ECU or, once
they have chosen, then staying at
East Carolina University
According to Gulati, some in-
ternational students experience a
culture shock when they arrive. He
said ECU needs to make their tran-
sition as easy as possible or stu-
dents will either go home or trans-
fer to another school.
"We are not saying we need a
big International House for every
international studenttostay'Gulati
said. "We are saying we need to
look after those students who would
not live comfortably in a big dormi-
tory for the first couple of years
Watkins said the lack of build-
ingspaceatECUcreatedadilemma
� either concentrate on recruiting
international students to ECU by
strengthening International Pro-
grams or accommodating them
once they are here through the In-
ternational House.
"Do you create an environment
where vou don't have the bodies,
like the International House strictly
set aside for international students,
but not have any coordinated cen-
tralization for the development of
an international program Watkins
said. "Then, what you can conceiv-
ably have, is this nice situation over
here for students who are on cam-
pus, but in fact they are not on
campus because you haven't been
able to attract them
The International House re-
mained open year round to accom-
modate international students who
could not travel home during
breaks. The House also provided a
kitchen that enabled students to
cook ethnic meals. Gulati said the
university cannot provide these fa-
cilities without a dorm similar to
die International House, and these
conveniences are what keep inter-
national students at ECU.
Watkins said the issue of ac-
commodating international stu-
dents needs to be addressed by the
departmentof Student Life. During
the breaks, he said a wing of a dorm
mav remain open year-round or
faculty members could invite stu-
dents to stav in their homes. He also
said arrangements could possibly
be made to house the students in
local motels.
Slav and Umstead dorms will
close for renovations in the fall and
reopen as a single residence hall in
two years. Inez Fridley, assistant
director of housing, said a wing of
the dorm may be set aside for inter-
national students.
Watkins said the Slay-Umstead
complex may address some of the
special needs of international stu-
dents. However, Gulati said he was
concerned beca u se no defini te plans
have been made to reserve a wing in
the Slay-Umstead complex.
The International House holds
a maximum of ten students. Watkins
said the small size of the dorm also
contributed to closing the house.
"There have not been many stu-
dents dispelled from the house he
said. "We felt we were not taking on
an issue that was of such magnitude
that it was going to cause major
problems. In the end the university
would benefit
Gulati said the university needs
more residential housing for inter-
national students, not less.
"If we are thinking of doubling
thenumberof international students
in the next two or three years, we
should double the capacity of resi-
dential housing for intema tiona 1 stu-
dents rather than abolishing it
"Our seating for library users
will go from 1,200 to 2,000 Marks
said.
"We have no group study fa-
cilities at this time, but, with this
addition, we will have 24 group
study rooms
Marks said the addition, which
will stretch into the parking
lottoward 10th Street, will also hold
faculty study rooms that currently
do not exist at Joyner Library.
Warren said the second prior-
ity of the bill would be the $2.5
million necessary to complete the
cancer center at ECU's School of
Medicine. Dropped from the bill
was the authorized funding for the
purchase of the Rose High School
property.
One bond referendum already
approved by the State Legislature
proposes the selling of $300 million
in bonds. The money from this pro-
posal would go to construction im-
provements at the 16state universi-
ties only. Community colleges and
other public instruction facilities
would be left out. Warren said all
higher education facilities across the
state should be incl uded in one pro-
posal.
Warren explained that a bond ,
referendum seemed to be the logi-
cal financing choice for three rea-
sons.
"For one thing, interest rates on
bonds are low right now he said.
"Because of die recession, construc-
tion bids should be low, and North
Carolina can afford this because of
its low debt
North Carolina's state debt is
about one-fourth the national aver-
age. Warrenalso said thenewbuild-
ing project would create new jobs
and stimulate the state's economy.
A study done by the Bureau of Eco-
nomic Analysis of the U.S. Com-
merce Department estimates that
the previously proposed $300 mil-
lkm project would create 11,500 new
jobs across thestate.Nostudies have
been done concerning the new $600
million bond proposal.
The bond proposal's future
looks bright if it is brought to a
public vote in November.
A recent study conducted by
Louis Harris Research Inc. shows a
69 percent approval of the $3(X) mil-
lion referendum with 22 percent
opposed and 11 percent unsure.

Residence hall condoms safe idea
In the age of AIDS and other sexually
transmitted diseases, our nation and our
world have become acutely aware of the
dangers surrounding unprotected sexual re-
lations. Now. the PXT" campus will share in
that growing awareness; vending machines
containing condoms will most likely make
their premiere in residence halls this fall.
Since 198c, the idea of condom ma-
chines in the dorms has been disputed
throughout the university community. The
issue of safetv versus moralitv has been
bandied about with no real results. Now,
three vears later, it seems that the idea of
condom vending machines on campus will
become realitv, and not a moment too soon.
New statistics from the Center for Disease
Control AIDS Hotline report there were
46,611 new cases of AIDS diagnosed in the
last year, bringing the national total for the
past year to 218301.
Staggering numbers with staggering
consequences.
With no known cure in sight, the war
against AIDS will have many more casual-
ties before the white flag is waved. But those
who choose a sexually active lifestyle have
an effective weapon with which to defend
their health. The use of condoms as an effec-
tive prevention in the spread of AIDS has
been common knowledge in the medical
community for several years.
The good news for ECU students is the
university has seen fit to make condoms
more readilv available to student; living in
the residence halls. Though proximity does
not automatically lead to increased use,
availability will certainly encourage safer
sexual practices.
Opponents of the idea of condom ma-
chines in the residence halls sight morality
as one of the key issues. Some say that
making condoms more available will lead
to increased sexual activitv. The news for
these opponents is college-aged individuals
are adults. Some of these adults are choos-
ing to have sex. Right or wrong, it is their
choice. But with AIDS and other STD's rear-
ing their ugly heads, the smartest idea is not
to pretend to make choices for the students,
but rather to make their choices as safe as
possible.
Besides abstinence, condoms are the
only practical way to prevent the spread of
AIDS and STD's. We live in a world where
these diseases are reality.
ECU students will now live in a world
where condoms will be available to them 24
hours a day and safety from disease can be
a reality.
Campus Spectrum
International House more than place to live
By Neresh B. Tolani
Campus Spectrum
Editor's note � The following ar
tide is an open letter from a foreign stu-
dent describing the advantages of the In-
ternational House The residence hall mil
dose its doors at the end of the first sum-
mer session to provide office space for
international programs.
I arrived at ECU, January 198E
as a foreign student, to pursue an
undergraduate degree 1 had been as-
signed a room in the Slay dorm on
campus Having been away from
home for about a week, I was incred-
ibly homesick and extremely hungry,
craving for a "real home-cooked
meal Although 1 spoke English well
enough, I still felt alienated in this
new place I was supposed to call home
The gloomy, cold and wet
weather of January did not comfort
my growing depression I decided I
WM going back home to the comfort
of warmth, friends and family On the
third day of my stay at ECU, I packed
my bags and decided to inform the
International student advisor, Dr
Lucy Wright, about my decision, hop-
ing that she would grant me a pardon
and let me out of my misery I ex-
plained to her how 1 felt and requested
her to allow me a phone call to my
parents
She listened with sympathy,
reasoned with me and granted my
wish for a phone call, except that it
was to be made at this placecalled the
� International House We arrived at
the International House, only to find
outthattheperson whosephonel was
to use was out and iwould be back in
an hour
At this stage, Dr Wright sug-
gested mat I wait there for the phone
guy, and that she would be back in an
hour to pick me up I don't know if Dr
Wright had had experience with
"troublesome foreigners" like myself
or that she was an experienced miracle
worker, but that entire hour turned
outtobetheturningpointofmylifein
America
During this hour I explored the
International House, I found that it
was a dorm that had a capacity for ten
students Here was a dorm that repre-
sented a home away from home I also
met the residents, who were interna-
tional students like myself, and who
have had experiences and emotions
that I was going through
In this one hour I made friends
that I would later grow to love as a
family. Duringthishourlbecame con-
vinced that there might be some hope
after all, that perhaps if these students
could make it, then so could I Finally
the phone guy arrived
The resident manager intro-
duced us He was a graduate student
in Sociology and talked to me about
his experiences and urged me to give
ECU a chance. I finally got to call my
parents I explained to them howl felt,
but I did not tell them I was ready to
come home yet Dr Wright arrived
an hour later as she had promised and
noticed how relieved and relaxed I
koked
She was kind enough to sug-
gest that I stay at the International
House for a night, and if 1 still wanted
to go home she would personally take
me to the airport That night I actually
enjoyed myself for the first time at
ECU
Education Regained
Summer school: a comedy of terrors
By
Matthew Jones
Bill Walker
Michael Martin
FNeudo Fditorial Columnist
The following morning I went
to Dr Wright and requested her to
transfer me to the International House
where I had learned a vacancy ex-
isted My request was granted and I
stayed at the International house for
two years before moving info an apart-
ment with a friend
I have recently finished my
Masters degree also at ECU, and I can
confidently say that the International
House has hosted memories of hun-
dreds of students, bo domestic and
international, as it has for rhe. To the
1-r
international student, the lnterna
nonalHousehas been a refuge of sorts,
it has been a place to visit or stay at
when all the other dorms are closed
for the holidays, it has been a place to
visit on the off chance that one will
'ind someone from one's homeland,
or one who speaks the same language
To American students this has
been a place to visit, where they can
go to practice a foreign language, or to
share experiences about a visit to some
foreign country, or to make new
friends or to discuss international poli-
tics or to discuss the marketing strat-
egies and policies of the third world It
always amaes me when I think about
the kindness the International House
receives from trie local community
and organizations These oganiza-
tions take it upon themselves to visit
the International House and organize
events for all students to celebrate in.
be it the season of goodwill or the
Fourth of July
The International House also
maintains an open door policy, and
everyone is welcome, it remains open
even when the entire campus is closed
It tries to house ten students, each of a
different country including one stu-
dent from the United States Where
else can one go on campus to experi-
ence ten different cultures under the
same roof, ten different languages,
lifestyles, and culture, or where can
one go on campus to have live �epre-
sentation of culture which would oth-
erwise be confined to textbooks and
imagination.
1 am appealing to the adminis-
trators, to piease experience the Inter-
national House, before making a deci-
sion as to its status as a dorm. On
behalf of all th students who have
shared an experience at the Interna-
tional House,t appeal to you to let the
International house continue as it has,
so that it continues to represent what
it stands for and as an important and
integral part of the International spirit
of ECU.
One of the greatest mvths sur-
rounding this campus concerns sum-
mer school
Most people dread it
We think it's okay
With eight such sessions al-
ready under our belt, we've come to
learn that summer school is not
dreadful, but delightful Not even a
three- 1 nth stint at the beach, gain-
ful en ployment in a large INaVo-
politan area,or even93 days oi'faith-
ful devotion to reruns of Cilhgan's
Island can compare to the
oxymoronic notion of summer learn-
ing
Summer school provides an
experience different from the nor-
mal slower-paced semesters The first
thing one comes to realize from the
start of a summer term k the lack of
interest bv both teacher and stu-
dents Students don't want to be
sweating in Greenville, strapped to
the grindstone, and teachers don t
want to be slaving, stuck in the .e -
rure pit
The outcome proves to be ben-
eficial for both parties A sort of re-
id atmosphere and mutual respect
builds between teacher and student
Students show up for classes
and teachersare more willing togive
you that extra point you need Stu-
dents become more organized be-
cause of the intense course load and
teachers do their work faster because
ot less students
Summer School is actually not
the boring dread it's perceived to be
It can he a learning experience un-
matched bv regular semesters Cov-
ering an entire s-mester, well, in four
weeks, makes getting an education
fun Weekly tests and daily quizzes
neep even the laziest student on
guard
But the classroom isn't the only
area of change during the humid,
ungle-iike summer months of Gre-
enville Socialites will notice a change
in the pace of downtown The select
rew devoted Greenvilhans dominate
the dirty district. Bars are sparsely
populated and a certain "circle" of
cronies evolves out of a devotion to a
particular bar
Bartenders know you by name
and preferred dnnk, and the Stop
Shop clerks always say "Hi " Ev�
the bartender at a local iaundrymat
is prone to give you two free wasr-
on a Tuesday night � contingent
upon vour smile and his day
Back on the university grounds
(ah-hem Dr Rives) parking is infi-
nitely easier in summer school than
it is during regular semesters One-
third the number of students pro-
vides two-thirds more parki
spaces and the decrease in traffic is
visible The university also embarks
on massive construction projects to
confuse students when they return
in the fall (just so that the freshmen
don't feel like they've been picked
on).
The whole town seems to
breathe out a sigh of relief when
summer rolls arou nd No noise ordi-
nance violations No massive frat
parties Noobnoxiouscollegedrunks
harassing the locals in public areas
Even we editors like summer
school Weget paid the same amount
of money for half the work.
After all, isn't that the Ameri-

Health care not just a national issue
By Scott
Maxwell
Editorial
Columnist
Well, I may as well make it offi-
cial I have cancer
Specifically, I have Hodgkin's
lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph
glands At the moment, half of the
lymph glands in my neck and chest
are swollen to the size of basketballs
(I'm exaggeranng) And as I've just
gotten out of the hospital, which I was
forced to make my home for five and
a half days, it's difficult to write about
anything except health care
In most ways, I'm lucky First of
all, I picked a really good cancer, as
these things go; the cure rate for
Hodgkin's is better than 90 percent
What's more, the pathologist teils me
that the cancer hasn't spread to my
spleen or anywhere else (that's what
the godawful surgery was all about)
So I'm getting of f light: probably six to
eight weeks of radiation treatments,
and thaf s it. No chemotherapy, thank
Whoever' In Charge
I'm also lucky in that I'm cov-
ered by my father's health insurance
The company is trying to weasel out
of paying for this, but they're really
stuck. In a future column, I'll tell you
all about the insurance company and
their dishonorable attempts to screw
rr out of the money I deserve, all
while giving ma a cheery "good luck"
on the phone.
But the bills are coming in any-
way, because I see most of what I'd
have to pay if I were less firm with the
insurance folks, and well, you
wouldn't believe it Sixteen hundred
and fifty-five dollars for one set of
tests, threehundred more for a couple
of CT scans 1 haven't gotten the bill
from the hospital yet, and frankly, I
don't want to Abdominal surgery
complete with organ removal plus five
days' stay I don't even want to
think about it
This is why health care is such a
contentious issue in America today
I've got a cancer that can be cured
(probably), but under slightly differ-
ent circumstances, it could kill me
anyway, simply because I couldn't
afford the bills Hell, I couldn't hope to
afford this I'd have trouble affording
it if I had a full-time job, what with
losing all that time from work.
Everyone should have access to
health care But granting that every-
one should have access to health care
ts rather easier than providing it
There are three basic desired
qualities of health care: rapid access,
affordability, and high-tech equip-
ment Trouble is, you can only have
two of the three
Right now, we have rapid ac-
cess and high-tech equipment. We
want affordability The question is,
what are we willing to trad for it?
Since speed of access is an im-
portant consideration � most diseases
worsen with time � well have to
trade in the high-tech toys. (Depend-
ing on how high tech radiotherapy is,
that kind of trade might kill me. Cast
Entertainment
la vie)
The most sensible solution that
comes to mind is to limit those parts of
health care that are made universal.
Vaccinations, routine checkups �
preventive maintenance, in short �
should be made covered That may
even save money in the long run,
thanks to the well-known relation-
ship between prevention and cure
But I'm skeptical that anything
more will come of universal health
care than that. The costs mount up
ft�t, as soon as America actually has to
start paying for universal health care,
America will start looking for ways to
gut it.
At any rate, until we have uni-
versal health care, you're responsible
for your own I don't ordinarily give
advice like this, but I urge you to
prepare for the worst. Now. While-
you're healthy
Find out whether you're cov-
ered by your parents' insurance (if
they claim you as a dependent, you
probably are covered, but check).
If not, sup smoking, stopdriruv
ing, and get your own heal insure
ance Find a way to pay for it If s
worm it
If worse come to worst, there
are organizations that pay part of the
heal care costs for young persons.
Wa college students are still young
enough to apply for some of these
funds. Check.
Believe me, the last thing you
want when you're sick is to have to
worry about paying to gat better I've
seen the bills, and they ain't pretty.

' Weapon 3' pac
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
All over the country, in manv
newspape rs, television shows, and
radio bnwdcasts Lethal Weapon 3
has become the brunt ot uniushfied
criticism. Ibo many reviewers suf-
fer from the delusion that sequel is
synonymous with shoddiness.
Thesecnrics that malign sequels
should remember the Thin Man
senes, the Andy Hardy series and
the manv lames Bond films. Se-
queLs have been around Holly-wood
for a long time and not without
some fine artistic films being cre-
ated as a result.
Lethal Weapon 3 happens to be a
first-rate sequel that is sure to please
audiences well into the hot days of
July. The series has finally reached
an agreeable tone. The viciousness
has been toned down and the hu-
mor has been keyed up

Gibson and Danny Glover make
the perfect team. The two have de-
veloped a closer friendship in each
one of the Let hal Weapon fi lms. Their
comic timing gets better with each
outing.
This time Martin Riggs (Gibson)
has finally freed himself of the sui-
cidal instincts that plagued him in
the first two installments. He still
has a fearlessness about rum but his
energy has been channeled into wit
and compassion instead of self pity
Roger Murtaugh (Glover) still
maintains that he "is too old for this

the excitement. He has learned to
respect and appreciate Riggs-

Unlike other sequels that have come out recently, Lethal Weapon 3, starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover,
has all the action and humor to make it one of the summers hottest hits.
' Weapon 3' packs big bang
By IkeShibley
Matt Writer
All over the country, in many
newspapers, television shows, and
radio broadcastj Lctto! Weapon 3
has become tin brunt ot u trustified
cntHism loo many revkfwensuf-
ter from the delusion tlat sequel is
synonymous with shoddkWM
Trw xe crl tics th.it malign sequels
should remember the ITun Man
series, the Andy I lardy series and
the many amfl Bond films Se-
quebhavebeenaround! toUywood
for a long time anil not without
some fine artistic films being cre-
ated as a result.
Uihtl rVagpon 3happena to bea
first-rates�iuel that is sun1 to please
audiences well into the hot days of
filly, The seni�s has finally reached
�in agrOMble tone I'he viciousness
has been toned down and the hu-
mor has been keyed up
"The magic is back! proclaim
the .uts and how nght thev are. Mel
t ibson and Danny (llover make
the perfect team. The two have de-
veloped a closer fnetidship in each
one of the Lethal Weapon films. 1 "heir
comic ttnimg gets better with each
outing.
Ihistinv Martin Riggs(Gibson)
has finally frml himself of the sui-
cidal instincts that plagued him in
the first two installments. He still
lias a fearlessness aNut him but his
energy has chefwteled into wit
and comp.ission instead of self pity.
Roger Murtaugh (Glover) still
maintains that he "is too old for this
sfnt but deep down he thrives on
the excitement. He has learned to
respect and appreciate Riggs.
Murtaugh remains the stable fam-
ily man who still loves the thrill of
lxing a cop
As Lethal Weapon 9 opens,
Murtaugh and Riggs arrive at the
scene of a bomb scare. Their repar-
tiv while huddled over the bomb in
a parked car has been on display in
various preview clips. Riggs wants
to cut the blue wire but Murtaugh
wants to vvait for the bomb squad.
Riggs assures him that he knows
what he is doing.
Tmcutting the red wire, Rog
says Riggs.
"Whixxxxxxa a minute ago
vou said blue returns Murtaugh.
Riggs assures Murtaugh that
"You tell that man'
she loudly purrs, "hat he
isthejaminmyjeHyroll
he meant the red the whole time
then snips the red wire, lhe timer
on the bomb speeds up so Riggs
tells Murtaugh to grab the cat that
had landed on the roof o( the car.
lhe two then race out of the build-
ing as the bomb explixles.
The next scene provides awe-
some visual fireworks. An entire
building blows up before our eyes.
A building in Orlando had been
scheduled for demolition so the film-
makers demolished it for tne cam-
era. The results hxik superb. Incred-
ibly enough, the movie'sexcitement
increases fmm there.
A ruthless ex-cop (Stuart Wil-
son) becomes the villain in Lethal
Weajfon 3. His evil is nastily exag-
gerated when he puslies a disloyal
worker into fresh concrete as more
concrete pours down.
"Wait he tells a potenbal co
worker who wants to turn away
"we can put our initials in it This
evil man raids the police Station for
illegal weapons that have been
confiscated.
The plot is purposely thn. Af-
ter all its only purpose is to provide
a means for Murtaugh and Riggs to
relate. The action and the humor
provide the foundation for success.
Rene Russo plays , lieutenant
in Internal Affairs who knows mar-
tial arts She takes part in some of
the wilder fight scenes. As Riggs
tells Murtaugh when she takes on
five hoodlums at once: "1 want you
to watch this, Roger. She has a gift
More excitement comes in the
bang-up finale as Riggs sets fire to
several acres oi construction.
The humor floats in fmm all
areas. Riggs consistently spats one-
liners The woman from the ar-
mored car returns later in the film
with flowers and candy for
Murtaugh. "You tell that man she
loudly purrs, "that he is the jam in
my jelly roll
Much added humor comes
from 14 Geti0oeFesd of GoofyBm
and Mv Cousin Vinny). Leo likes to
tell people that he is a gixxl real
estate agent. "Whatever you want;
Leo gets c iet it? l,eo GetZ . This
sophomoric humor takes the film
into tiie c ome� 1 ic stra h s phere. Leo's
every other word is "okay He
rattles off dialogue like an auto-
matic weapon.
The scripthasbeen streamlined
so that the serious intrusions are
kept to a min i mu m. The scene w here
Murtaugh shixits a teenager comes
off as heavy-handed. Yet another
potential uncomfortable interrup-
tion where Riggs confronts
Murtaugh on his boat plays true.
The swageness of the first two
films has been downplayed in Le-
thal Weapon 3. Thus the film suc-
ceeds more than either of the other
two. Siime viewers mav crave more
serious killing but most will relish
the fun to be had watching these
characters interact.
This film rocks and mils for its
en tire two hours. Many viewers will
revisit this rVSaBJNM several times.
There is just so much to enjoy.
On a scale of one to ten, Lethal
Wmpou 3 rates an 8.

Saturday night, The Platters
played to a soaked but enthusiastic
crowd at the opening ceremonies
for the Special Olympics.
Though the performance was
in question nght up to the start, The
Hatters decided not to disappoint
their fans and gave a rousing, fun-
loving show. Even the" rough
weather � a constant drizzle from
start to finish, sometimes escalating
to a downpour � didn't deter lhe
crowd fromen joying the l�50sstyle
group and dancing to their heart's
content.
The Platters performed around
fifteen songs, smcxithly changing
lead singers and keeping the
audience's attention with nary a
hitch. Singing some of their hit
songs, like "Only You" and "With
This Ring The Tlatters left a smile
on the audience's faces and obvi-
ously enjoyed playing to such a
receptive enwd.
First managed in 1�S3 by Buck
Ram, The Platters started out as an
all male quartet, eventually grow-
ing into the four male, one female
group that it is today. Monrie
Powell, the lead tenor ot the gnup
for the past tw enty years, joins with
Donne Radford, LeonQlliam, Vkki
Mixire and Mike Davis tn create the
special sound of meaningful lyrics
coupled with an impressive array
of vocal harmonies.
Buck Ram, The Platters' man-
ager fmm RS4 till hisdeath in 1991,
led their success with his one-of-a-
kind combination of nostalgia and
amtemrx irarv sty leof performance.
Ram led The Platters to un-
equaled fame and popularity, com-
piling sixteen gold records and ap-
pearances in the movie "Rock
Around the dock" and five other
films.

brought back performance values
and the importance of material to a

The Platters lyrics and songs
may have started in the 1950s, but
their music is still fresh nearly forty
years later. As Ram said regarding
his hit song "Only You "It starts

forming "Only You Ramattributes
its success to its simplicity and
honesty.
"It's one of our better songs
Ram said. "Just a song that caught
on, and I think it's because of the
simple lyric
Though the weather may have
deterred most of the crowd from

The Platters finally tixik the stage.
Their upbeat style and obvi-
ous love of their music had people
dancing right in front of them and
enjoying themselves immensely.

King provides 'Needful Things'
By Joe Horst
Assistant Entertainment Editor
"You've been here before
With these four words, Stephen
King begins his latest � and last �
Castle Rixk story, Needful Things.
Readers may think they have been
here before and know all there is to
know about Castle Rock, but King
still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
Kinghasdeligh ted readers with
the small town life of Castle Rock,
Maine for vears now. With the first
appearance of Castle Rock in his
novel, The Dmi Zone, King has gone
to feature this make-believe town
and its characters in books like Dif-
feren t Seasons, Cujo, The Dark Half and
the most recent. Four Past Mulnight,
in the novella, "The Sun Dog
In his prologue to "The Sun
Dog King describes his belief that
"small towns are scale models of
what we laughingly call 'society
With 77k" Dead Zone, King starts to
make this belief a reality that has
persisted throughout the years.
Needful Things centers on the
appearance of a new store in Castle
Rock, Needful Things. Even before
its opening, the whole town is buzz-
ing about the store and its possible
wares. "If II be just another antique
shop quotes Cora Rusk, mother of
Brian Rusk, who rums out to be the
shop's first customer. But she doesn't
discover until later just how wrong
she is.
Leland Gaunt runs Needful
Things. Fans of King will recognize
the similarities between Gaunt and
The Man in Black who predomi-
nates books like The Stand and The
Eyes of the Dragon. With the latest
starting thread and tie-in to King's
continuing series, The Dark Tower,
Gaunt is the epitome ot evil and tne
ultimate antagonist ever known to
modem-dav fiction.
Squaring against Gaunt is the
aii-too-human tragic hero, Sheriff
Alan Pangborn. First introduced in
The Dark Half, Pangborn was regu-
lated to a secondary role without
much character development. But
now King brings him to the fore-
front, endowing him with such real-
ity that readers can't help but iden-
tify with hirn
With thisCasde Rock story, King
focuses more on charactenzation
than the surrounding landscape.
With the notonety Castle Rock al-
ready has, a topographical descrip-
tknofitwouldonlyservetodampen
the speed of the book. So King for-
goes this and proceeds to illustrate
the lives of Castle Rock residents.
King has come up with a volca-
nic ending for his loved town and
readers will find themselves hard-
pressed to put this one down before
turning the final page.
Curdled music sours Dead Milkmen's latest album
By Mark Brett
Staff Writ�r
SoulRotatum iseither the smart-
est album the Dead Milkmen have
produced,or the weakest,or maybe
it's both. As the Milkmen them-
selves have made abundantly clear,
nothing in this world is easily un-
derstood.
Known for perversehumor and
gixxl-natured yet vicious lampoon-
ing of American culture, the Dead
Milkmen have spent seven years
making the wrong enemies and
enjoying it.
On Soul Rotation, they try to
find a meaning to it all. Initially a
bland and confusing mix of con-
spiracy theories and UFO stories,
the album congeals after a few lis-
tens into an intriguing mix of con-
spiracy theories and UFO stories.
The pungent wit of earlier al-
bums, however, is barely in evi-
dence. This time, the Milkmen are
serious.
Many songs on the album ex-
press a paranoid concern about the
way of things, a sort of crackpot
ideology, but the ideology is best
expressed in The Conspiracy
Song A ragged piece with a break-
vi
neck pace, "Conspiracy Song" talks
of a "They" who own the world and
control people's lives on a daily
basis without our knowledge.
In the song, everything is sinis-
ter. Delivered with a fanatic's zeal,
the song whips Soul Rotation into a
paranoid frenzy that echoes right
into the final song.
The conspi racy theory ex pand s
to include UFO sightings that
"They" don't want communicated,
the obvkms irrationality of die way
we live our lives and finally, God
himself.
In "God's Kid Brother singer
H.P. Hovercraft (a.k.a. Rodney
Anonymous) speculates that
"maybe there are two Gods One
who created all the perfect people,
and another, God's Kid Brother,
who created everyone else. And the
perfect people, it seems, don't want
to let anyone else in on the joke.
Soul Rotation ends,after 40 min-
utes of dank paranoia and mistrust,
on a decidedly peaceful note with
"Shaft in Greenland Referencing
Richard Roundtree'sblaxploitation
hereof the 1970s, the Milkmen urge
listeners not to follow Shaft's vio-
lent example. In a strange place,
Hovercraft croons, Travel around
i
I
and meet all the people Work up
me nerve to touch them lightly .
See ho h it feels to be Shaft in Green-
land
Musically, the album seems to
flatten the band's quirky style. A
mixture' flames Brownriffs,avant-
garde stytings and pure punk
grunge, the Dead Milkmen sound
was somethirig unique. Many songs
on this effort b lkw that basic tem-
plate but lack the perverse innova-
tion that really biought earlier al-
bums to life. Soul Rotation, as a re-
sult, sounds hollow.
Perhaps this was deliberate on
the part of the band. By doing away
with the more outrageous aspects
of the humor and the musical tricks,
the Milkmen are left with a basic
skeleton to hang their words on.
Withoutany of thatdistracting rich-
ness, the listener is forced to pay
attention to the message for once.
Maybe die Dead Milkmen were just
tired of being the goofballs.
Or maybe they just got lazy
and turned outa moderately funny
album that examines ideas they've
dealt withelsewhere.Only the Milk-
men can know for sure, but opti-
mism and a strong fondness for
Soul Rotation says if s the former.
TTteDeeJ Milkmen have released their newatoum. Soul Rotation. Unlike their previous albums, SoulRotation
takes a much more serious approach to music and life in general. But if you donl understand the latest afoum
from the group with the cowish name, donl worry. They will be the first to say that there isnl much m the world
that is easily understood.

Curdled music sours Dead Milkmen's latest album
By Mark Brett
Staff Writer
SoulRotation is either the smart-
est album the Dead Milkmen have
pn d uced, or the weakest, or maybe
t both. As the Milkmen them-
selves have made abundantly clear,
nothing in this world is easily un-
derstood.
Known for perverse humor and
good-natoredyetvicious landown-
ing of American culture, the Dead
Milkmen have spent seven years
making the wrong enemies and
enjoying it.
On Soul Rotation, they try to
find a meaning to it all. Initially a
bland and confusing mix of con-
spiracy theories and UFO stories,
the album congeals after a few lis-
tens into an intriguing mix of con-
spiracy theories and UFO stories.
The pungent wit of earlier al-
bums, however, is barely in evi-
dence. This time, the Milkmen are
serious.
Many songs on the album ex-
press a paranoid concern about the
way of things, a sort of crackpot
ideology, but the ideology is best
expressed in "The Conspiracy
Song A ragged piece witha break-
neck pace, "Conspi racy Song" talks
of a "They" who own the world and
control people's lives on a daily
basis without our knowledge.
In the song, everything is sinis-
ter. Delivered with a fanatic's zeal,
the song whips Soul Rotation into a
paranoid frenzy that echoes nght
into the final song.
The conspi racy theory expands
to include UFO sightings that
"Thev" don't want communicated,
J
the obvious irrationality of the way
we live our lives and finally, God
himself.
In "God's Kid Brother singer
HP. Hovercraft (a.k.a. Rodney
Anonymous) speculates that
"maybe there are two Gods One
who created all the perfect people,
and another, God's Kid Brother,
who created everyone else. And the
perfect people, it seems, don't want
to let anyone else in on the joke.
Soul Rota tion ends, after 40 min-
utes of dank paranoia and mistrust,
on a decidedly peaceful note with
"Shaft in Greenland Referencing
Richard Roundtree'sblaxploitation
hero of the 1970s, the Milkmen urge
listeners not to follow Shaft's vio-
lent example. In a strange place,
Hovercraft croons, Travel around
ami meet all the people Work up
the nerve to touch them lightly .
See how it feels to be Shaft in Green-
land
Musically, the album seems to
flatten the band's quirky style. A
mi xtu re of James Bmwn riffs, avant-
garde stvlings and pure punk
grunge, the Dead Milkmen sound
was something unique. Many songs
ixi this effort follow that basic tem-
plate but lack the perverse innova-
tion that reallv brought earlier al-
bums to life. Soul Rotation, as a re-
sult, sounds hollow.
Perhaps this was deliberate on
the part of the band. By doing away
with the more outrageous aspects
of the humor and the musical tricks,
the Milkmen are left with a basic
skeleton to hang their words on.
Wi thout any of tha t distracting rich-
ness, the listener is forced to pay
attention to the message for once.
Maybe the Dead Milkmen werejust
tired of being the goofballs.
Or maybe they just got lazy
and turned out a moderately funny
album that examines ideas they've
dealt withelsewhere. Only the Milk-
men can know for sure, but opti-
mism and a strong fondness for
Soul Rotation says it's the former.

The Dead Milkmen have released their new album, Soul Rotation Unlike their previous albums, Soul Rotation
takes a much more senous approach to music and life in general. But if you don't understand the latest album
from the group with the cowish name, don't worry. They will be the first to say that there isn't much in the world
that is easily understood.

make a gixart track in Greenville
some 15 years ago and presented it to
Ijee Setters and Feree. He felt the

� some place that just won't be a

Ihe Greenville Fun Park is the
onlv one of its kind between Raleigh
and Atlantic Beach. Since the park is
located on a maor industrial mute,
employees of Burroughs Wellcome
and Pmctor and Gamble have fre-
quented the facility dunng lunch
breaks and after work.
'It's the only place you can really
act like a kid but still be safe said
Hollis Gunn, a "pit chief" of the park.
"Everybody has fun. You get to go
around for about five minutes as fast
as you can.
"But safety is really important
he added. "Everyone who drives the
ca its has h wear a sa fety bel t, and we
stop people that dnve crazy"
Empkyees of the track use hand
signs tosignal drivers to "stop bump-
ing" or to forewarn them of their last
lap. A checkered flag ends the race
and the drivers pull into pit row.
"We're not going to put up with
rough-housing Haynie said. 'The
niles are explicit and everyone is ex-
pected to follow them
The go-carts and track are in-
spected yearly by state officials, and
the park falls under guidelines set up
forstateorlocal fairs. Inspectors check
the speed and safety of the gixarts, as
well as the track condition.
"We tike more precautions than
the state regulates Feree said. "Our
number one goal is to be safe. We
have three to five employees on the
track at all times, and the riders have
to be a certain height to operate the
vehicles bv themselves
Thevehiclesand trackhavebeen
designed so that the gixarts cannot
flipover. The iron rails that surround
the track can be hit at full impact
without damage to the cart or the
driver.
But the gixart track and arcade
are just phase one of a three-phase
pmject for the park. Haynie said he,
Setters and Feree have plans to buiki
a pond for bumper boats and a slick
track for gixarts, and finish with a
miniature golf course.
The cost of a ride is $350, or a
package of four rides can be pur-
chased for $13. The Greenville Fun
Park is open Monday through Thurs-
day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m Friday
and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m
and they are closed on Sundays.

Big Splash offers G reenvill.ans a chance to bring down their golf average wrthout empty.ng their pocketbooks.
The range is located on U.S. 264 North, ust past the Tar River bridge.
Bulls, Blazers set to battle in finals
Having big fun would nor-
mally cost big money. But not any
more. With the increasing number
of recreation parks being erected
in Eastern North Carolina,
Greenville has now added another
recreation spot to its list.
"Big Splash driving range is
more than just a pond to knock golf
balls in according to General
Manager Tim Norris. "It's a great
place for family activity, or just
somewhere to escape for a few
hours
On hand are a staff of five pro-
fessional attendants and a recog-
nized Professional Golf Associa-
tion (PGA) golf pro. Big Splash
offers not only a driving range, but
assistance and guidance to your
golf game as well.
"We have a good mix of people
who come out to the Big Splash
Norris, who has been in business
for two years, said "Many venture
out during their lunch hours to
relieve some tension or even just
relax and enjoy their lunches. Quite
often in the evening, we have
couples and lovers who come out
just to view the sunset Norris
said.
Aside from the standard put-
ting greens, bunkers and sand
traps, thereare 20 stationary marts,
200 feet of grass ("to work on your
approach shots Norris said) and

the largest yet simplest golf ranges
around. The pond serves as an ac-
curate distancefor measuring one's
stroke. There are three cups (float-
ing gTeens) at various distances -
75 vards, 125 yards and 150 yards.
With many accessories avail-
able at the range, BigSplash's main
focus is the golf enthusiast. There
are clubs available for rental needs
as well as tonics, snacks, golf ap-
parel and many other items to
choose from.
Prices start as low as $1.75 for
a small bucket of balls (20 to 25)
and up to $7.50 for a large bucket
(145 to 155) balls. Big Splash is
open from 11a.m. until 10 p.m. and
when weather permits. For addi-
tional information on hosting par-
ties, reservations or other events

It hasn't been easy since so
much was expected from the
Bulls, who went 15-2 last year in
winning the championship and
then came back with a 67-15
record for the best mark in the
NBA this season.
Before the playoffs started,
there were some who thought the
Bulls might go 15-0 in the play-
offs this season. The expectations
increased after a three-game
sweep over Miami.
"Ridiculous was Jackson's
response, and the Bulls proved it,
losing three games to the Knicks
and two more to the Cavaliers.
There is no talk of a sweep
over the Trail Blazers, although
Michael Jordan called the victory
in the sixth game over Cleveland
"a great confidence builder for
all of us
Jordan had a miserable per-
formance in the first three quar-
ters of Game 6, missing 15 of 20
shots before scoring 16 points in
the final period to share scoring
honors with Pippen at 29.
There is no fear of taking the
Trail Blazers for granted. They
had the best record in the West-
ern Conference at 57-25 and they
knocked off Utah in six games by
winn ing a t U tah 105-97 last Thurs-
day night.
"Portland is one of the most
athletic teams in the league Jor-
dan said. "It's a big challenge
Jordan said it was tougher
defendingthechampionship than
winning it for the first time.
Games 1 and 2 will be played
at Chicago Stadium Wednesday
and Friday nights, then the series
shifts to Portland for games the
following Sunday and Wednes-
day. If needed, Game 5 also will
be at Portland June 12.
The sixth and seventh games
would be played in Chicago.

Chris Chapman looks surprised as he misses his shot while playing a game ot billerds at the Greenv.lle Fun
Park. Chapman and friend Eric Moore were waiting for the ram to subside so they could take a few laps.
Seles almost ousted from French Open
PARIS (AP) � Monica Seles
knew beforehand she wouldn't be
kicked out of the French Open be-
cause of the U.N. sanctions against
her native Yugoslavia. But she
nearly got knocked out anyway.
Seles, the top seed and two-
time defending champion, trailed
4-1 in the final set before coming
back to beat Japan's Akiko Kijimuta
6-1, 3-6, 6-4, and reach the
quarterfinals.
While Seles struggled to avoid
a stunning upset, her counterpart in
the men's field advanced with little
trouble. Top-seeded defending
champion Jim Courier over-
whelmed 17-year-old Ukrainian
Andrei Medvedev 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, to
make the final eight.
"I feel this is probably my best
tennis so far said Courier, who
has not dropped a set in his four
matches.
Rain hit Roland Garros for the
fourth day, wiping out five of me 12
scheduled matches. In one sus-
pended fourth-round match, No.
11 Andre Agassi led Spain's Emilio
Sanchez, 6-1,6-3,1-1 Pete Sampras,
the No. 3 seed, never got on court
against Carl Uwe Steeb.
But if the rain and Courier's
victory were predictable, Seles'
troubles against an opponent
ranked No. 150 in the world were
i
shocking. Seles had won her three
previous matches 6-1, 6-0; 6-2, 6-2;
and 6-0,6-1.
Seles' shaky performance came
in the wake of uncertainty over the
status of Yugoslav athletes.
The UN. Security Council on
Saturday imposed sweeping sanc-
tions against Yugoslavia, now con-
sisting only of Serbia and
Montenegro, because of its involve-
ment in the fighting in Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
Only hours before Seles took
the court Sunday, tournament offi-
cials annouced that they would not
stop her from playing.

It hasn't been easv since so
much was expected from the
Bulls who went 15-2 last year in
winning the championship and
then ame back with a 67-15
record tor the best mark in the
NBA this season.
Before the playoffs started,
there were some who thought the
Bulls might go 15-0 in the play-
offs this reason, rhe expectations
increased after a three-game
-weep over Miami.
"Ridiculous wa- Jackson's
response, and the Bulls proved it,
losing three games to the Knicks
and two more to the Cavaliers.
There is no talk of a sweep
over the I rail Blazers, although
Michael Jordan called the victory
in the sixth game over Cleveland
"a great confidence builder for
all of us
Jordan had a miserable per-
formance in the first three quar-
ters of Came 6, missing 15 of 20
shots before scoring lh points m
the final peritxl to share scoring
honors with Pippen at 24.
There is no fear of taking the
Trail Blazers for granted. They
had the best record in the West-
ern Conference at 57-25 and they
knocked off Utah in six games by
winningat Utah 105-97 last Thurs-
day night.
"Portland is one of the most
athletic teams in the league Jor-
dan said. "It's a big challenge
Jordan said it was tougher
defending the championship than
winning it for the first time.
Games 1 and 2 will be played
at Chicago Stadium Wednesday
and Friday nights, then the series
shifts to Portland for games the
following Sunday and Wednes-
day. If needed, Came 5 also will

Park Chapman and fnend Enc Moore were waiting for the rain to subside so they could take a few laps
Seles almost ousted from French Open
PARIS (AD � Monica Seles
knew beforehand she wouldn't be
kicked out of the French Open be-
cause of the U.N. sanctions against
her native Yugoslavia. But she
nearly got kntvked out anyway.
Seles, the top seed and two-
time defending champion, trailed
4-1 in the final set before coming
back to beat Japan's AkikoKijimuta
6-1, 3-6, 6-4, and reach the
quarterfinals.
While Seles struggled to avoid
a stunning upset, her counterpart in
the men's field advanced with little
trouble. Top-seeded defending
champion Jim Courier over-
whelmed 17-vear-old Ukrainian
V
Andrei Medvedev 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, to
make the final eight.
"I feel this is pmhablv my best
tennis so far said Courier, who
has not dropped a set in his tour
matches.
Rain hit Roland Garros tor the
fourth da v, wiping out five ot the 12
scheduled matches In one sus
ponded fourth-round match, No
11 Andre Agassi led Spain's Emilio
Sanchez, h-1,6-3,1-1. Pete Sampras,
the No. 3 seed, never got on court
against Carl Uwe Steeb
But if the rain and Courier's
victory were predictable, Seles'
troubles against an opponent
ranked No. 150 in the world were
i
shocking. Seles had won her three
previous matches 6-1,6-0 6-2,6-2;
and 6-0,6-1.
Svles shaky pertornuncecame
in the wake of uncertainty over the
status of i ugoslav athletes
The U.N Security Council on
Saturday imposed sweeping sanc-
tions against Yugoslavia now con-
sisting only of Serbia and
rVtontenegro,becauseof its involve-
ment in the fighting in Bosnia-
Herzegovina
CYilv hours before Seles took
the court Sunday, tournament offi-
cials annouced that thev would not
stop her fnim playing.
