Radio station not allowed to
affiliate with clubs, alcohol
By Tony Rogers
News Writer
Aftera legal debate thai dates
back to February 19M2, WZMB is
no longer permitted to affiliate
itself with nightclubs downtown
or any events where alcohol is
served.
University Attorney Ben
Irons said there is risk of a law-
suit against ECU with respect to
the radio station sponsoring ,n
event where alcohol is permit-
ted.
"The potential for a lawsuit
is too great, if anyone is injured,
10 allow WZMB to sponsor any
events where alcohol is being
served Irons said.
Under Irons' advice, Tim
Johnson, the general manager of
WZMB, was told the morning of
July 21 to cancel a WZMB pro-
moted concert at the Attic that
evening.
Johnson did not cancel the
event, saying the last minute no-
tice made it impossible.
in a letter signed by Mary
Beth Morde. media board chair-
person, fohnson was told the
advice "is based on the conclu-
sion WZM B is a co-sponsor i if the
event and therefore shares any
liability
Irons said the notice should
not have been necessary at all
"We had discussions about a
similar situation with WZMB in
February Iron said. "Since our
position has remained the same,
this was not anything new to
WZMB
According to Greg Brown,
student media advisor, the uni-
versity attorney's office advised
Morde that activities at the Attic
maybringuptheissueof liability
again.
"The university attorneys
contacted us (at the media board
office) to get in touch with Ms.
Morde Brown said. "She was
thenasked to notify WZMBabout
the potential for a lawsuit if any-
one is injured
According to Greg Hassler,
assistant university attorney,
Browncontacted him in regard to
the possible liability issue.
"We got notification from
Greg Brown that WZMB intended
to engage in an activity at the
Attic similar to the situation tli.it
occurred last February Hassler
said. "Since the situations were
so similar, I advised Mr. Brown to
issue an updated version of the
letter we sent Mr lohnson ear-
lier
Brown said a written opinion
from the attorney s office would
need to be reviewed by the media
board before an official policy
could be drafted.
Until then, the media board
has a verbal understanding with
the radio station.
"WZMB has been told they
shouldn't have anything to do
with the bars down townBrown
slid.
Johnson said the university's
attorneys have no basis for their
advice.
"As far as they (the
universes attorney and the me-
dia board)can tell me, there is no
legal precedent forthisdecision
ohnon said.
fohnson also said WZMB's
relationship with bars in the
downtown area has been benefi-
cial to the radio station.
"The only way people will
know about us is if we get out and
promoteourseives lohnson said.
"One way oi promoting the sta-
tion is bv having promotions at
clubs
Johnson also said the restric-
tion may hurt the financial ben-
efits of keeping a cooperative re-
lationship with downtown bars.
According to fohnson, the Elbo

last year, the Attic donated $700
and O'Rockefeller's made a $tHK)
donatk n to WZM B last February.
"Bet ause the bars are a major
contributor to WZMB's trust fund,
1 feel like it's a slap in the face to
the bars and unfair to WZMB
lohnson said.
lohnson proposed a contract
Stating the bar owners are fully
liable for any injuries during
WZMB sponsored events. The
owners of the Attic,
O Rockefeller's and the Elbo
agreed to sign such a contract.
" That may be helpful, butour
advice would remain the same
lnns said.
(?DM said if a lawsuit were
filed, ECU would be the party
most able to pay since many pri-
vate organizations are not finan-
cially able to compensate the vic-
tim.
"In these situations, the uni-
versity is the deep p?ket Irons
said. "The injured party will seek
compensation from thosedirectly

Republicans, Democrats seek young voters for future
Parties prioritize voter registration for students
(CPS) ? Voter registration is
shaping upas the major battle line
at colleges, this fall, as Democrats
and Republicans try to woo young
voters, particularly those left in
limbo bv Ross Perot's sudden exit
from the political campaign.
"Young people support this
president and this party said Tony
Zagotta, national chairman of the
College Republicans, who hopes
to unveil a fast-paced, "MTV-like"
recruiting video aimed at young
voters when the Republicans con-
vene Aug. 17 in Houston, Texas.
An estimated 1,000youngrep-
resentaties were expected to at-
tend the Republican National con-
vention, although it was uncertain
how many would be voting del-
egates.
College Republicans were pre-
pared to work hard this fall to reg-
ister voters and persuade young
people that the nation would be
better off with the incumbent team
of George Bush and Dan Quayle.
Zagotta said voters ages 18-24
were "the most Republican of any
age group And conservatives
hope to continue to draw on sup-
port from young people who voted
for George Bush in 1988 and Ro-
nald Reagan in 1984.
If Bush
wins re-
election in
1992, "we

Another college voter regis-

by the election.
That's in addition to the music

Outreach Director Terry Northrup

"We're hoping Clinton and

campuses said Adam Kreisel, a
junior at Trinity College in Con-
necticut, and coordinator for the
College Democrats National Voter
Registration Program.
There are two Democratic or-
ganizations for young adults: Col-

Student issues supported
(CPS) ? So what's in the Republican and Democratic political
platform for college students?
Jamie Harmon, a Harvard University junior, convention del-
egate and president of College Democrats, said the Democratic
platform supports the big issues that affect students.
"I think the main issues ? student loans, abortion and the job
market ? were pretty well emphasized. The Clinton student loan
program is the most specific it's ever been in terms of the platform.
It's a real breakthrough Harmon said.
Gin ton has proposed making aid available to anyone who
wants to attend college, with loans being repaid through community
service or a percentage of future income.
Tony Zagotta, national chairman of College Republicans, said he
believed young voters would be more interested in the greater
economic opportunity offered by the Republican platform, as well as
its promises to reduce government regulation and maintain strong
defense and foreign policies.
"This generation is more distrustful of government than any
generation in a long time Zagotta said, adding, "Young people
really identify with and support the foreign policy of these two
presidents (Bush and Reagan)
Because the environment is the top issue among college stu-
dents, Terry Northrup said she believed Gore would be a tremen-
dous asset to the Democrats. Northrup is outreach director for
College Democrats.
The Tennessee senator, author of the book "Earth in the Bal-

Fund misuse cited by auditors
According to the Office of the
State Auditor, Pitt Community
College misused $19,247 in fed-
eral funds appropriated for dis-
advantage students on mentally
retarded students enrolled in job
skill development courses.
The state auditor notified the
Department of North Carclina
Community Colleges of the find-
ing and recommended that PCC
refund the money and follow fed-
eral regulations in the future.
In the report, PCC rebutted
the auditor's finding stating the
money was spent on students who
were both handicapped and dis-
advantaged.
"A plan of action in our local
application for these funds that
was submitted to and approved
by the Department of Commu-
nity Colleges explicitly describes
that the funds will be used in the
local sheltered workshop the re-
port stated. "As such, the college
acted in good faith based on a plan
that was approved by the fiscal
and program agent for these fed-
eral funds
Also in the report, PCC stated
that federal laws do not prevent
red pients who are mental ly handi -
capped from qualifying for disad-
vantaged funds.
Tim Underhill, state audit
manager, said he agreed that fed-
eral regulations do not prevent an
individual from qualifying as ei-
ther handicapped or disadvan-
tage. However, he said individu-
als must be treated as handicapped
for PCC's Vocational Education
Program.
"PittCommunity College's in-
terpretation of the federal law was
different than ours Underhill
said.
Gary Moore, dean of students,
said PCC administrators stand by
their decision but will reimburse
the federal government with state
funds at no loss to the university.
"If we had drug this out into
the next fiscal year, and if we had
lost the battle, we would have to
pay it out of this year's budget
Moore said. "We elected to pay
back the money
According to Moore, new fed-
eral regulations have been imple-
mented that will avoid similar
problems in the future.

Maxwell lays silver hammer down Long-time editor says good-bye
J ????????. Rm(hu,ii?nuiimmi.t, and rewarding While most sti
Newspapers have always been a big part of my life
When I was voung, I spent a lot of time in the offices of
Rocky Mount's The Evening Telegram. The woman who
gave birth to me wouldn't blow money on a sitter, and
since she worked at the paper, I trooped in after her on
many a day
Being so young, I spent most of my time converting
office supplies into toys, which probably explains a lot
about the way I am. I also taught myself to type But my
strongest memory of the Telegram is my memory of the first
day I saw the pnnting presses.
I was maybe eight Probably six A genial man who
worked at the Telegram ? I don't rememberhis name, only
that he was always very nice to me ? led me by the hand
downstairs and into the very center of the world
They were these gigantic black cylinders ? at rest,
for the moment ? stretching seemingly out of sight into
the distance I remember looking up at them, wide-eyed,
and feeling power, I think, as if here lay the forces that
moved the earth
All right, so it was a reaction totally out of proportion
to seeing the dinky printing presses of a third-rate small-
town newsrag Buteverythinglooksdifferentwhen you're
eight ?or six ?and the impression left by that brief visit
was indelible
Until that day, 1 wanted to be an astronaut After that
day 1 wanted to work for a newspaper
And it is in that sense that working for The East
Ca'jlmiar. nas been a dream come true
Working for this newspaper has been good for me in
?lot fotherways, too There s no better way to leam about
. writing than by writing, and I've written a full newspaper
page and more per week, at times ? on top of classes
That gotten somehardlessonsabout writing even through
mv th.uk skull
i ve learned something else, though, and this is what
1 wanted to talk to you about I have learned that most
people are cowards, blindly following the path of least
resistance no matter where that path may lead Somehow
these people seem to end up as general managers and
managing editors
I've spent a lot of time fighting spineless general
managers and managing editors for the nght to print
matenal thev were afraid of. There have been fights Bitter,
vicious fights involving threats and tears and the whole-
sale destruction of inanimate objects There are people
who have worked for TV East Carolinian, and people who
work elsewhere in the building, whom I will never again
speak to even at the cost of my life
Mostly, I won Eventually I would manage to con-
vince my opponent that continuing to disagree with me
was going to be a lot more unpleasant than anything angry
readers could dish out. It took work.
Now, it's nothing like it used to be. The people
currently in charge are sensible and honest That hasn't
always been the case But the turnover here is high, and in
all likelihood it won't be very long before another one of
those spineless bastards is in charge again
So why am I telling you all this7 Because I'm leaving,
that's why 1 graduated, and I'm leaving, and 1 need you to
do me a favor.
See, ever since that day I stared in awe at those
gigantic (to me) printing presses, I've understood that the
press is one damn powerful monster Working here, I've
seen what damage that monster can do in the hands oi
people who are driven solely by their fear of your wrath
It's not overt damage, it's more pernicious than that
Under their control, the printing press sings thesoft lullaby
of complacency, not the harsher song of truth; the mur-
muring of sameness, not the jangle of dissent The very
worst thing the press can do is to tell you only what you
want to hear
Unless, that is, you make it unmistakably clear that
you only want to hear the truth The truth, and the widest
possible spectrum of opinions, for opinions are windows
into fact It is not enough merely to be tolerant; you must
actively demand truth and dissent ? including views you
despise
You can't get nd of the cowards I couldn't either,
and Cod knows I tried They're here to stay But you can
turn their cowardice to good purpose, by making them
scared to do anything less than the nght thing
I won't be here to take part in it I have done my
share So I'm asking you: please, keep an eye out When the
press lies or hides or distorts or dissembles, they betray
you. Show them how mad it makes you when you are
betrayed
And let them know from time to time when you
think they're doing a good job, too The ones who do their
jobs properly, the Matt Joneses of this world, deserve your
praise as much as the cowards deserve your scorn
Finally, while you're keeping a sharp eye on this
newspaper, keep an even sharper eye on the nefarious
doings of the media board The media board is composed
mainly of people who know nothing about the media and
whose commitment to free speech runs about as deep as
Joseph Stalin's They work for you They represent you
Keep them honest
Thomas Jefferson said: "I have swom on the altar of
God Eternal to resist every tyranny over the mind of man "
Me, too Lots of people out there think you're too dumb
and childish to handle stuff that challenges you. I never
agreed with that, and I fought those people every chance
I got. I hope it mattered
Your rum.

The East Carolinian
Education is probably the big-
gest choice I have ever had complete
controlofinmylite Deciding whether
or not to take honors courses in high
school was just the beginning, then
came the task of deciding where to go
to college East Carolina was, you
might sav, the only choice for me.
My dad (a 15 alumnus) nei-
ther twisted my ma nor was i : fact
that no other school accepted me I
wanted to come to East Carolina This
school was the only place I wanted to
tome? I didn't even apply anywhere
else
It wasn't for the partv image
(even though I attended many over
the past five years) It wasn't for any
athletics team In fa:t, it wasn't for
anything specifically I just felt a call-
ing ? a feeling inside that told me
something verv special awaited me in
Creenvilie
Five and a half years later, I now
know what that feeling was It's hard
to explain, but I have to try
You see, people that know me
know that when I get involved in
something, I give it 110percent While
the finished product may not have
alwavs met the eve of cnhcs, the end
result was always better than when I
started
Back in the fall of 1988,1 met a
woman named Knsten that influenced
the rest of my life ? she was a writer.
As we sat in front of the Student Store
between classes one day, I found out
that she was a desk editor at The East
Carolinian Awed, I had to meet her.
She told me about the job, and need-
less to say, I took the first step toward
the rest of my life
It was a cold November day as
I walked into the upstairs office of the
Publications Building Little did I
know at the time, I would spend the
rest of my college career in this fa-
mous (or infamous) building ? often
sleeping on a sofa or on top of a desk
Ehinng the next three years, I
moved around the newspaper doing
various jobs spor.s editor, editorial
columnist, news writer, designer
the most memorable being managing
editor in 1990 I made a lot of mis-
takes (so I've been told), but no more
than any other who had the job. The
newspaper got better and so did the
feelings of those who worked for it.
Manv, many sleepless nights
were spent in the Publications Build-
ing Too often, that sleeplessness led
to cutting classes, which sent my
grades plum meting?like an airplane
falling to the earth without running
engines
I was out of control, and I had to
regain mv composure That's when 1
joined a fraternity It was one way for
me to put my priorities back in order
Lake TV East Carolinian, I gave
the fraternity 110 percent dedication,
and I was elected to serve as president
for a year That too, was challenging
and rewarding While most students
at ECU do not like or agree w ith Creek
bfe, it introduced me to fnends that I
will have for the rest of my life?most
of whom are not m my organization
Two weeks ago, 1 realized that I
was finally going to graduate The
situation reminded me of a weekend I
spent with Kristen in Nags Head some
two years ago, when she broke into
tears about the fear of graduation and
the real world The stress, she said,
was unbearable
Not knowing how to comfort
her, I borrowed the storyline from "St.
Brno's Fire It's one movie, that in
my opinion, all college students
should watch when graduation finally
a.nves To be brief, seven recent
Georgetown graduates, all best
fnends, find life fwrd m the real world,
and the movie focuses on how each
one deals with their problems It was
the St Elmo's fire legend that guides
one of the individuals from goingcom-
pletely crazy
Every time I watch that movie,
I see mvself in all seven characters.
And I guess that's the only true way to
describe that calling I had for ECU.
It's like St Elmo's hre
While most of you readers have
either gone through this before, or
will go though this in the future, 1 feel
that putting it on paper will somehow
keep the feeling intact forever ? for
everyone to enjoy
So to all the professors, friends
and associates I've.met over the past
five years, thank you
Good-bye East Carolina ? I'll
never forget you
A View From Above
Doublespeak plays on ignorance
Walk's Words
By T. Scott
Batchelor
Editorial
Column tat
Legalization offers alternative
ByJ. William
Walker
Editorial Columnist
It's a simple idea, really Give
the people what they want
It's economical, it's constitu-
tional, and above all, it's practical
Whoever decided that declaring a
"war" on drugs would remove them
from this country was not thinking
clearly. The removal of a substance (a
plant in most cases) that offends or
could harm someone is exactly what
our constitution protects
We have spent millions of dol-
lars and thousands of hours to what
end? Cocaine, a front-line enemy, is in
fact moreavailable and cheaper today
than it was at the beginning of mis
"war Marijuana use is increasing in
high school students. The only thing
this "war" has given us is crack, an
even deadlier form of cocaine. That's
right, crack(the low-cost-easy-to-
smuggle-easy-to-sell-one-hit-addic-
tion -mach ine) is a product of this war.
Maybe I'm crazy, but shouldn't we
consider an alternative approach,
maybe one that works?
The common response to a prob-
lem is to try to find a solution to that
problem. If the first solution does not
work, doesn't it seem logical to try a
different solution?
Let's consider some facts:
1) The demand for illegal drugs
is high.
Economics tells us if a product
is demanded, it will be supplied. Ille-
gal drugs make people want more
drugs Now, we can call this a major
problem, or we can cash in on the
realities of the situation. The govern-
ment refuses to apply reason to this
dilemma The same thing happened
in the 1920s with the prohibition of
alcohol Granted, that's an overused
argument, but if we can't leam from
our mistakes, what can wedo? People
in the 1920s thought a world with
alcohol would create a chaotic
stumble-zone of lushes and alcohol-
ics But it didn't.
Applying a dose of realistic hu-
man behavior tells us that most people
naturally don't want to be useless
bums in a constant drug-induced daze.
Making drugs legal will not create a
massive wave of first-time druggies.
2.) Illegal drugs are available
The illegal drug industry is lu-
crative enough that dealers will con-
tinue to deal as long as it's illegal.
Drugs' illegal status provides dealers
incredible incentives A single kilo-
gram of cocaine can provide a $24,000
reward With those incentives, who is
going to turn down a $100,000 dollar
per week career as opposed to a $4.25
an hour job flipping burgers? The
"war" has inflated the business to the
extent mat the benefits exceed the
costs.
3.) Our methods aren't work-
ing
Illegal or legal, the message has
been sent loud and clear; people will
use drugs. Despite constant efforts to
cast out the filthy drugs, they are here.
Every day, the demand for drugs gets
higher and higher and higher
Our police are out-gunned and
out-manned Thousands have died,
and thousands more will die. Method
A will not get us to objective A.
Through a system of careful
control, we can put a lid on this prob-
lem. Government regulated drug
stores, like ABC stores, would create
millions perhaps billions of dollars in
annual revenues. An age limit could
be enforced, as with alcohol and to-
bacco, quality control could be regu-
lated, and dosages could even be con-
trolled. Revenues could be directly
pumped into education about drugs
and rehabilitation from drugs. All it
takes is a little logic, reason, and fore-
sight, and this pointless "war" could
be over.
The system doesn't work, if s
not going to work, so let's find a solu-
tion that will provide an acceptable
outcome. I don't think legalization is
the only way, but at least it's a differ-
ent way.
Control rather than prohibition
is a much more realistic concept when
dealing with an epidemic such as
drugs. Think about it
Allow me to get right to the
point. I recently came across a marvel-
ous book entitled Deufekspeajk. by the
editor of the Quarterly Review of
Doublespeak. William Lutz.
In Doublespeak. Lutz pins down
and exposes a prevalent, though often
ignored, application of the English lan-
guage As Lutz puts it, "Doublespeak
is language that pretends to commu-
nicate, but really doesn't. It is lan-
guage that makes the bad seem good,
the negative appear positive, the un-
pleasant appear attractive or at least
tolerable
We all have encountered
doublespeak at one time or another.
Television advertisements offer "real
counterfeit diamonds" (without the
slightest hint of embarrassment, adds
Lutz), or brag about goods made out
of "genuine imitation learner" or "vir-
gin vinyl
Doublespeak of the kind men-
tioned above is usually funny to us.
Yet some forms of double speak can be
quite frightening, serving to delude,
obfuscate, or misrepresent important
facts. Lutz writes that "It is only by
being aware of the pervasiveness of
doublespeak and its function as a tool
of social, economic and political con-
trol that we can begin to fight those
who would use language against us
That is precisely why I decided
to write about this book now. Unless
you've been in a coma for the past
several weeks you are no doubt aware
that this nation is in the midst of a
presidential campaign. And as with
all political functions, speeches are
abound. Therein lies the potential for
egregious examples of doublespeak.
The following are some ex-
amples of doublespeak propagated
by government administrations, agen-
cies and politicians as cited in
Doublespeak
We have all heard of taxes eu-
phemistically called "revenue en-
hancements but did you know that
there was no such thing as an eco-
nomic recession? It's simply "a pe-
riod of accelerated negative growth"
according to the Reagan Administra-
tion
An acid rain isn t that either,
says the Environmental Protection
Agency. It's just "atmospheric depo-
sition of anthropogenetkally-denved
acidic substances " Whew, that's a
relief!
According to the New Jersey
Division of Gaming Enforcement,
Atlantic City doesn't have any gang-
sters, mobsters, Mafia, or La Cosa
Nostra; these folks are just "members
of a career-offender cartel I think
that might have been a title for his
novel that Mario Puzo only briefly
considered.
I first became aware of double
speak when I was very young. I was
watching a news story about a soldier
in Vietnam who stepped on a land
mine (or anti-personnel device) and,
according to an army surgeon, had
suffered "traumatic amputation of his
leg In other words, I remember
thinking, his leg was blown off.
The military thrives on
doublespeak. In the armed forces it's
not a shovel but a "combat emplace-
ment evacuator If you stand up
when you ought to be ducking, you
may wind up with a "ballistically in-
duced aperture in the subcutaneous
environment a bullet hole.Thus, in
military parlance, a toothpick becomes
a "wood interdental stimulator a
pencil a "portable, hand-held com-
munications inscriber They may be
bombs to us, but to the army they're
"Vertically deployed anti-personnel
devices anjd a parachute becomes
an "aerodynamic personnel decelera-
ted " We may be able to purchase an
ordinary steel nut at the local hard-
ware store for twenty or thirty cents,
but a "hexiform rota table surface com-
pression unit" will set you back about
$2,000.
While some examples of mili-
tary doublespeak can be a bit discom-
forting, it is even more troubling to
reflect that it is politicians who control
the armed forces. Pobticians are mas-
ters of doublespeak, being able to talk
for several minutes without saying a
thing.
When Governor Nelson
Rockefeller was running for president
he was asked his opinion on the Viet-
nam War He answered, "My position
on Vietnam is very simple And I feel
this way I haven't spoken on it be-
cause I haven't felt there was any major
contribution that 1 had to make at the
time I think that our concepts as a
nation and that our actions have not
kept pace with the changing condi-
tions. And therefore, our actions are
not completely relevant today to the
realities of the magnitude and the com-
plexity of the problems that we face in
this conflict Pure gobbledygook
The next time you listen to a
politician speak, analyze what he is
saying. If you are confused by the
rhetoric, chances a re it's doublespeak.
As Lutz points out in his book,
"Doublespeak has become so com-
mon in everyday living that many
people fail to notice it What's worse,
he says, is that when people fail to
notice it. We don't question politi-
cians who speak of slums as the "in-
ner city or use euphemisms such as
"substandard housing and "disad-
vantaged
Check out doublespea k from the
library or purchase it from a book
store. Read it from cover to cover and
I guarantee you it will prove to be an
enlightening experience Especially
the next time Bush and Clin ton take to
the stump along the campaign trail.

'A League of Their Own' hits homerun
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
The All American Women's
Baseball League emerged to keep
baseball alive while many male ball
players fought in World War EL A
lttgue of Their Oiim, a new film by
Fenny Marshall, pays homage to
this league by foe using on their in-
augural season
The story revolves around Kit
and lUtie. Doth work hard at the
dairy, but only Dottie is content.
Dortie waits patiently for her hus-
band Bob (Bill Pullman) who is
fighting overseas, but Kit feels the
restless drive to do more with her-
self than provincial life would al-
low.
rhe irony of the situation is that
Dottie is a better ballplayer than Kit
and it is Dottie who Ernie wants.
Irnie only reluctantly buys Kit a
train ticket once Dottie agrees to go
with her to Chicago.
Conflicts between the siblings
arise throughout theentirefUm. Kit
constantly feels inferior to Dottie
and consequently resents her tor
her ability.
Kit feels unable to escape from
the overwhelming shadow that
Dottie casts.
Spicing the story of the sisters is
the potpourri of personalities they
encounter while playing for the
Rockford Peaches.
The most interesting member
of the team is jimmy Dugan (Tom
Hanks), the manager. Atfirstjimmy
resents being given girls to manage
but eventually comes to respect the
players, finding that baseball can be
enjoyed, no matter who is playing.
The rest of the supporting cast,
including Madonna as May
Mordivido, each have their own
personalities. They elicit many
laughs with their distinct idiosyn-
crasies.
The main problem with this
film is the cliched script and
Marshall's handling erf it The story
(f Dortie and Kit plays more like a
second rate sitcom than a first rate
Hollywood film.
The final twenty minutes of A
League o' Then Own practically de-

The confrontation of the sisters

seems to be that one winning mo-

The huge rift between Kit and
Dottie is bridged by toothpicks in
the denouement, yet the filmmak-

But in A League of Their Own,

Dinner theatre alive and well
By Joe Horst
Staff Writer
Dinner theatre has been a
long-standing tradition in
America. The joy of eating a fine
meal coupled with the pleasure
of seeing a finely acted play are
two things that will continue to
be the high point of evenings to
come.
Anglers Cove Restaurant, in
Hertford, N.C, marks another pe-
riod tn this long-standing tradi-
tion with their hosting of the Boot-
strap Acting Company's produc-
tion of "Broken Up written by
Nick Hall.
"Broken Up" is the story of a
middle-aged couple going
through the trials of marriage and
divorce. Tom, the husband, has
had an affair with one of his En-
glish students. Meg, his wife, de-
cides she's had enough of his mid-
life crisis, and moves out. Com-
plicating matters is a fast-talking
blind date named Roger and the
apartment complex's handyman,
George.
Watching this performance
gives one the feeling of a down-
home, simplistic view of life.
Character development is not re-
ally stressed; the thrust is for en-
tertainment, not meaning. All the
actors give earthy performances
that leave the audience with a
feeling of camaraderie and sym-
pathy The grass-roots sets, light-
ing and sound all emphasize the
overall effect of being at home
and comfortableness.
The highlight of the perfor-
mance comes in the second act
when the three men engage in a
drinking spree, matching each
other with tequila shots. Phil
McM ullan, as Tom, gives a hilari-
ous performance, walking on his
knees and giving the well-recog-
nized drunken slur. Merlin Baker,
playing Roger, also delights au-
diences with his mouth full of
cotton speech, stumbling around
the room and generally making
an ass out of himself. Even the
proverbial lampshade-on-the-
head trick appears at the end of
the scene.
So if a night of humor with
friends and family appeals to you.
Anglers Cove Restaurant is the
place to go. Performances run on
July 24, 25, 31 and August 1, 2, 7
and 8. For $15.00 a person, one
can get a friendly atmosphere,
along with excellent food, and a
night of laughs to round out the
evening.
For reservations, call (919)
426-7294, evenings, and (919) 426-
9295, days.

(AD ? ih Montana is still scheduled to start
for the San Francisco 9ers in their exhibition
opener against the Denver Broncos next week.
Montana, who had two days of rest, limited
his Monday morning passing drills to just 30
throws, and afterwards said his arm felt just about
the same
"It (right arm) still feels tired' said Montana
wnomssed theentireli season following right
elbow surgery It felt pretty good the early part,
then it jus! got a little tired "
Meanwhile, Houston OUersquarterback War-
ren Moon walked out of training camp and may
not make the team's trip to Tokyo for Saturday's
exhibition game. ESPN reported Monday night.

Die absence of fohnsow and Stockton left the

But Chicago Bulls Jordan and Scottie Tippen did
theob anyway.
Tippen blanketed Kuki K for most ot the game

Kukoc, courted intensely bv the Bulls last year,
was defensed superbly by Pippen, who made just

both resented the attention given Kukoc bv Bulls

Just how important are the Olympic games?
By Robert S. Todd
Assistant Sports Editor
The Olympics are usually a great
source of pride for the nations around
the world Dominance in the games have
come to symbolize world power. Ihe
former Soviet Union knew this quite
well and focused great attention on pro-
ducing world class athletes. East Ger-
many followed suit (bv anv means nec-
essary).
Athletics is never under the micro-
scope more than during the Olympics.
Sports are a vital part of this world's
society
While fans constantly complain
players are over-paid, those1 same people
buy the caps and watch games on cable
and pour more money into the players
pockets. The importance of sports in
society is undeniable. It is big business.
It is entertainment. It is an outlet for
people to release their frustrations, to
reminisce about what might have been,
and to live together with the accom-
plishments of others.
I was not alone in my back yard

winning basket at the buzzer. But
wait! He was hacked unmercifully! Rob
sinks the first free throw. His second
shot is up Oh my! A lane violation!
He'll get one more chance to win the
Championship of the Universe
While those moments are precious
to me as an adul t, i t is crucial that sports
are not taken more seriously than the
truly important things in life. But, they
are not just kids games. It is simply
wrong to say people shou Id not be paid
millions of dollars to do what others
claim they would do for free. The Olym-
pics is not as important as world peace,
but they dominate the news and will
captivate the world for another week.
Around the The East Carolinian, the
sports page is erroneously considered
the least important of the three
sections.LISA Today sells the majority
of their papers to people because of the
sports section, and it is my guess that
the majori tv of the papers picked upon

Not only do sports provide our

Sports are the providers of child-
rxxxi heroes today. 1 may not wanna be
like Mike, but I did want to be like Babe
Ruth and Joe Montana. Unfortunately,
without sports there may be a lack of
heroes in this country. Without heroes
we would not know just how far we

They did it without Johnson for more than

muscle in his right knee. Stockton has been out with
a cracked bone in his right leg since June 29.
For the Dream Team, whose previous closest
game was 38 points over Puerto Rico in the Olym-
pic qualifying tournament, the game against Croatia
was an opportunity to measure the size of its
dominance.
"It was good for our team to be focused on a

Croatia, with six players from Yugoslavia's
1988 Olympic silver medalist team, figured to be
one of the Americans' toughest tests.
Drazen Petrovic of the New Jersey Nets sc red
19 pointsandStojkoVrankovic of the Boston Celtics
had 11 points and four blocked shots. Dino Radja,
a Celtics draftee, scored 14 points on 6-of-lO shoot-

he had foul trouble and scored just two of his 19
