Public safety director resigns amid wiretapping scandal
By Karen Hassell
Assistant News Editor
ECU'S director of public safety,
James DePuy, resigned Dec. 14, 1992,
blaming two years of rumors alleging
his involvement in the wiretapping in-
cident.
The department of public safety
said DePuy will not be returning to
work, although his resignation was to
go into effect Jan. 31.
DePuy said he had been consid-
ering resigning for a while.
"To be honest with you, I've had
a rough two years, as you well know
DePuy said in December. "I'm real
proud of what I've accomplished, but
I've been beat up real bad. I'm not
ashamed of anythg I've done. But I
need a break
On Oct. 13,1992, Teddy Roberson,
former director of telecommunications,
and John Burrus, former captain of in-
vestigation for public safety, were ac-
quitted of conspiracy, intentionally in-
tercepting a wire communication, in-
tentionally disclosing contents of a wire
communication and use of contents of
a wire communication.
The wiretapping incident began
in May 1990 when Roberson and Burrus
allegedly recorded telephone conver-
sations of another former telecommu-
nications department employee, Brooks
Mills, whom was suspected of drug
involvement.
DePuy came to ECU in 1989 to
modernize the department.
"I was given the task of
professionalizing the department he
said. "It was 20 years behind, at least,
in its procedures. There were no poli-
cies on deadly force, no controls of
inventory or spending.
"But I'm proud of my people and
what we accomplished. It was just a
handful of malcontents. There is a point
in time when a change agent becomes
worn out. I am tired, but I am proud
Public Safety Capt. Stanley Kirtrell
turned transcripts of the recordings
over to the FBI on Nov. 6,1990. Inves-
tigations were then carried out by ECU,
the State Auditor's Office and the FBI.
According the State Auditor's re-
port, DePuy was notified about the
wiretapping when
Roberson gave the tape
of Mills to Evan
Midgette, assistant di-
rector of Human Re-
sources. Midgette pre-
sented the tape to
DePuy. Midgette says
DePuy told him the in-
formation could be
used in certain circumstances.
DePuy says he said the informa-
tion could not be used in a court of law
and wiretapping was illegal. It is not
clear how many tapes were made after
DePuy was informed.
The Auditor's report stated that
Roberson, Burrus, Midgette, DePuy, Ri-
chard Brown, vice chancellor for busi-
'To be honest with you, I've
had a rough couple of years, as
you well know But I need a
break.
James DePuy
-Former director of public safety
ness affairs and Richard Farris, direc-
tor of human resources, were involved
or had knowledge of the wiretapping.
ECU has handed out $213,687 in
claims to 16 people since the wiretap-
ping incident began.
DePuy has not been charged with
anything andupholds his innocence.

Pirates' Announcer
suffers loss of daughter
By Warren Sumner
Staff Writer
Heather Ann Purtee, thel 9-year-old daugh-
ter of "Voice of the Pirates" sports announcer Jeff
Charles, was killed in a traffic accident on the
afternoon of Dec.10, while making a flower de-
livery in Bethel. Purtee apparently failed to see a
tractor trailer making a left hand turn on High-
way 13 and was killed instantly when her car
slammed into the back of the stopped truck.
Purtee, an ECU freshman, was preparing to
enter the nursing program to fulfill her dream of
working in a health career. According to John
Mann, a close friend, Purtee was always focused
on her occupational goals.
"Heather always thought about everyone
over herself Mann said. "She constantly talked
about being a nurse, we tried to talk her into
being a doctor, but Heather wanted to help people
over anything. She didn't care about money
Mann, who attended two high school proms
with Purtee, said that Heather's independent
way of thinking will be the most memorable
quality about her.
"She was completely independent of ev-
erybody and everything. She always knew ex-
actly what she wanted Mann said. Apparently,
Purtee was not afraid to assert her independence

in social situations.
"Sometimes we'd go out to eat and she'd
refuse to let me pay Mann said. "God, some-
times she'd scratch me just because I'd try to pick
up the check. We had such a good time. Heather
was just a real fun person to be around
Debbie Purtee, Heather's mother, has much
to say about the person her daughter was. In
addition to her independence, Purtee said her
daughter was also idealistic, even to the point of
adopting vegetarianism.
"Heather felt very strongly against the mis-
treatment of animals, and had been a vegetarian
for three years she said.
Purtee also said her daughter had no limits
on her friendship, that she appreciated people
spanning all races, colors and creeds.
She said that if Heather Purtee could be
summed up, it would be as "a caring, bubbly
person Purtee said her daughter's loyalty to her
friends was something that made her loved by
many.
"Heather was friends to everybody, she
was just a polite, caring girl that would do any-
thing for anybody
Purtee and her husband, Jeff Charles, have
decided to honor their daughter's memory by
setting up an annual scholarship fund for stu-
dents in the School of Nursing.

ECU biology and allied
health students conduct exercises
each semester isolating bacteria in
various grocery products such as
chicken, dried fruit and ground
beef. These studies recently found
that Salmonella occurs frequently
in meat sold in local grocery stores.
According to Webster's Col-
lege Dictionary, Salmonella is any
of several rod- shaped bacteria that
enter the digestive tract through
contaminated food, causing food
poisoning.
"They (students) do stan-
dard isolation testing said
Dianne B. Norris, lab manager of
the biology department. "Salmo-
nella is a natural bacteria in
chicken. They will isolate some
bacteria whether it is salmonella
or not.
Dr. Wendall Allen, the faculty
advisor inchargeoftheexperiments,
said that students selected a piece of
chicken that had been prepared for
sale. The chicken was handled in a
normal manner, not sterile labora-
tory conditions. At the lab, stan-
dard isolation procedures are used
to test the microbes present. They
also test dried fruit products and
ground beef for bacteria.
"Salmonella can ocoir in all
animals said Allen. "It is a normal
gut flora which means it is found in
the intestines. It stays there until it is
voided by the feces.
"It is shed during the process
of gutting. If the industry operates
with normal cleanliness, there
should be none present. However,
often industries work in less than
ideal conditions. Therefore, a cer-
tain proportion of meat is going to
have it
Allen said that with refrigera-
tion, washing and proper cooking,
the meat becomes safe.
Salmonella can also be trans-
mitted through the handling of pet
turtles. Small child ren are particularly
susceptible to this.
For this reason, stores such as K-
Mart and Roses which once carried
pets no longer do.
Allen stressed that proper han-
dling of food is important to avoid
risking bacterial infections caused by
misuse.
"In America, food is safe, but
that does not mean its free (of bacte-
ria) he said.
The experiments conducted do
not constitute a complete study and
do not involve specific stores.
However, the stores where the
students received their research speci-
mens are included in their lab reports.
Students death remains unexplained
Richard Louis DeOliveira, a 19-year-
old ECU student, died Dec. 4 after returning
from a night which included going to
Greenville's downtown area. DeOliveira was
walking to a friend's apartment when he
lost consciousness and began having diffi-
culty breathing.
After a friend's call for emergency as-
sistance, medical units arrived on the scene
and transported DeOliveira to Pitt County
Memorial Hospital, where doctors pro-
nounced him dead on arrival. Autopsy re-
sults to determine the cause of death are
still pending.
Hard work pays off for college democrats
By Jennifer Wardrep
Suff Writer
The ECU College Democrats will soon reap the
benefits of months of diligent campaigning and hard
work. Thirty members of the group will travel to Wash-
ington, D.C. next week to participate in inaugural activi-
ties.
The students will attend the Jan. 20 inauguration
itself, and some will attend the North Carolina Inaugural
Ball hosted by Gov. Jim Hunt. They have also been
invited to the American Gala at the Capitol Center, an
eventfeaturinginternationally-renowned entertainment,
including the reunion of Fleetwood Mac.
"We're going to have a busv week said Thomas
Blue, president of ECU Democrats. "I think it's going to
bring us closer together, and build group cohesiveness
Some of theCollege Democrats will also participate
in a Youth Forum, in which students will have theoppor-
tunity to question the newly appointed Cabinet mem-
bers.
Several group members will attend Congressman
Martin Lancaster's swearing-in and reception and sev-
eral free inaugural events, including the "Call for Re-
union" event at the Lincoln Memorial Jan. 17, consisting
of band performances and fireworks.

RALEIGH (AP) � North Carolina should
take another look at the size of its bill for public
college education, the Government Performance
Audit Committee recommends.
The state Constitution says the cost to stu-
dents should be as close to free "as practicable
The report suggests that legislators define
"thecontemporary meaning" of theConsti nation's
provisional clause of "as fa; as is practicable The
News & Observer of Raleigh reported.
"It is time to it evaluate the concept of low
cost and to determine what the meaning of that

the report written by the KPMG Peat Marwick

The draft on higher education, which goes
before a subcommittee Tuesday night, cites pro-
jections that the state budget is expected to remain
tight over the next eight years.

Binge drinking plagues students
Binge drinking on campuses is a growing problem, with
students spending more on liquor each year than on text-
books, according to surveys on student drinking habits. A
recent national survey of 56,000 students found that 42 per-
cent of the students had consumed five or more drinks during
one sitting two weeks prior to the survey. The U.S. Office of
Substance Abuse and Prevention also reported that 12 million
college students consume more that 430 million gallons of
alcohol a year, and spend more money on liquor than on
textbooks. Other findings in the survey found that 41 percent
of college students engage in binge drinking on a regular
basis, compared with 34 percent of their non-college peers,
and that 7 percent of freshmen who drop out do so for alcohol-
related reasons.
Athletes to attend hazing classes
All male athletes at the University of Texas must attend
anti-hazing seminars after campus police found 11 freshman
members of the swim team clad only in diapers on the fourth
floor of a university dormitory. The swimmers were taking
part in an initiation supervised by an undetermined number
of upperclassmen. Police said condoms and goldfish were
also involved in the initiation rites. If it is determined that any
of the students violated university rules, they could face a
range of penalties that include a warning probation to perma-
nent expulsion, said Sharon Justice, dean of students.
University recruits top black students
Florida A&M University attracted 73 National Achieve-
ment Scholars this academic year, making the public univer-
sity No. 1 in the nation in the recruitment of academically
talented black freshmen. This year, Harvard came in second
with 49 scholars; Stanford University in Stanford, Calif, was
third with 28; fourth was the University of Oklahoma with 27
scholars. Students enter the National Achievement Scholar-
ship Program for Outstanding Negro Students by requesting
consideration when taking the PSAT, a preliminary college
examination. Most of the achievement scholars ranked in the
top 25 percent of their graduating senior class in high school,
with one-fourth in the top 1 percent and more than half in the
top 5 percent, FAMU officials said.

CHAPEL HILL. (AP)�
A researcher hopes to en-
roll 50 patients at the University
of North Carolina atChapel Hill
� one of 16 U.S. medical centers
that will test a vaccine for HIV-
positive patients with no symp-
toms.
Animal studies and pre-
liminary tests with about 100
people have shown ' .� vaccine
is well-tolerated, said Dr. Joseph
Eron, one of two assistant pro-
fessors who will lead UNC-CH's
participation.
In addition, the vaccineap-
pears to generate an immune re-
sponse in almost all subjects.
Half the 500 patients enroled
nationwide will receive active
vaccine, while the other half will
get a placebo.
Neither the researchers nor
the patients will know who re-
ceived the active vaccine until
the study concludes.
"This study is unusual in
that it involves using a vaccine
as a form of therapy for people
who test positive for HIV � the
virus that causes AIDS � but
whose immune systems are so
far minimally affected Eron
said. "These are people who are
otherwise perfectly healthy, and
the idea is that by treating them
early, we might be able to stimu-
late their immune systems to
control the virus more effec-
tively
Human immunodeficiency
virus attacks lymphocytes, or
white blood cells, known as CD4
cells, he said. Over several years,
the number of CD4 cells in in-
fected people drops lower and
lower until they become increas-
ingly prone to a variety of infec-
tions. Among those are rare tu-
mors and a form of pneumonia
that healthy people easily sup-
press.
"If you thinkof theimmune
system as an army, CD4 cells are
the generals Eron said. "The
cells control many different im-
mune responses, and when
they're knocked out, trouble be-

he said. A normal CD4 count is
800 to 1,500, he said.
Both men and women in-
fected with HIV are eligible for
the free study if their CD4 counts
are 600 per cubic millimeter or
higher, he said. Genentech Inc.

oped the vaccine, is sponsoring

Black & Decker was one of
several corporations that opened
manufacturing plants duringa phe-
nomenal period of growth in
Fayetteville.
IKvitv landed plantsof Rohm
& 1 laas, Purolator, Du Pont and
KelK -Springfield 1 ire Coall within
about a five-year period starting in
lcty The plants created thousands
of jobs.
While theBlack&Deckerplant
was being built, the company
opened ir, office on Hay Street to
tike jobapplkation Ms Flail helped
process the applications.
"It didn't tike long to get their
5(H) employees Swope said.
Black & Decker also set up a
miniatu re production lineata ware-
house on Robeson Street to train
workers.
The plantopened in May 1967
with 192,1k11 (square feet of space. By
the end of the year, it had phased in

work there.
The plant made only jigsaws
at first, and bv the end of 1967 had
produced 115,10) of them, Ms. Hall
sa id. That number soared to 1.3 mil-
lion the next ear as the plant started
making drills � Black & Decker's
most popular tool.
"We thought it was fast-mov-
ing, but we didn't know anything
then said Ms. Hall, who now as-
sists with busing raw materials. "It
is such a fast pace when you walk
through mat door
Black & Decker doubled the
size of the plant in 1979. Today, the
plant has about 381,1X10 square feet.
In 196Stheplant'sannualsales
volume was $22.8 million. Now it's
more man $209 million.
Jim Farrell, like Ms. Flail, was
tme of the first 15 employees hired
by Black & Decker. He joined the
company asamachineoperator,and
now serves as a production supervi-
sor.
Hesaid machines handle much
oi theworkonce performed by ha ml.
For example, motors at one
time weredipped in varnish by hand
and then baked for a few hours so the
varnish could harden. Today, ma-
chines complete the process in about
15 minutes.
"The automation has just re-
ally taken over Farrell said.
When the plant opened, about
on-third of the space was used to
store finished products. Now the
plant has littlestorageand ships most
of its products as soon as they are
assembled.
Larger orders are sent directly
to customers, while other tools are
shipped to a distribution center in
Maryland. The plant's Uxils go to
customers in at least 24 countries.
The plant is divided into two
sections: one that caters to basic con-
sumers and one that makes tools for
professional customers.
Products include drills, Sand-
ers, air compressors, jigsaws, circu-
lar saws, polishers, routers and miter
saws. Toolsaremanufactured under
private labels as well as the Black &
Decker name.

Komhauser, the Fayetteville plant's
manager.
Black & Decker is taking steps
to make sure the plant stays open
another 25 years.
Thecompan vis improving the
skills of its employees, giving them
the power to make decisions affect-
ing production and teaching them
how to work together to solve prob-
lems.
Thegoal is to improve thequal-

Agency finds fault with
subsidized child care
Associated Press
RALEIGH (AP) � The
state should set minimum stan-
dards for child care for the poor
and set up a one-stop office
where parents can seek child
care assistance, the N.C. Child
Advocacy Institute says.
"This is now a $100 mil-
lion-a-year program and we
need coordination of policies,
higher standards and better en-
forcement and more assistance
to counties in managing the pro-
gram said MicheleRivest, vice
president for programs at the
institute and co-author of a 20-
page report released today.
Under two new federal
child-care initiatives, the state
has more than doubled the num-
ber of children receiving subsi-
dized care, but some 8,000 chil-
dren still await care, the report
said.
Most county social service
departments, which administer
the federal and state funds to
help parents pay for child care,
have several units where par-
ents must apply rather than one
office for all programs, the re-
port said. Inatleastoneinstance,
a single worker serves more than
200 children in 17 counties.
Officials in two-thirds of
the counties said state training
and technical assistance in set-
ting up new programs has been
inadequate.
Although the number of
children served through the sub-
sidy program has more than
doubled since 1990 � from
34,000 to 85,000 � almost half of
the 44,000 children served under
one program, the Family Sup-
port Act, are in unregulated child
care.
Unregulated care has no
minimum health or safety stan-
dards, no screening for immuni-
zations and no background
checks on workers for child
abuse or criminal convictions.
The report was based on a
statewide survey with responses
from 82 counties and field visits to
six counties
Among its recommendations:
�The state should create a
"seamless system" so children don't
have to change from one child care
program to another when their fund-
ing eligibility changes.
�Eligibility for subsidy assis-
tance, no limited to parents below 50
percent of the state median income,
should be expanded so more "work-
ing poor" parents can get help.
�The state should provide
money to help counties serve grow-
ing caseloads of more than 200 chil-
dren in many counties, improving
training and technical aid to coun-
ties and set a minimum statewide
rate for child care.
�Counties should screen pro-
viders for child abuse convictions
and stop payments when abuse or
other danger to children is being in-
vestigated.
The report was sponsored by
the Mary Reynolds Babcock and Z.
Smith Reynolds Foundations, both
in Winston-Salem.

DePuy resigns, questions still remain
In the continuing saga of ECU's wiretap-
ping scandal, the latest installment sees key
player Jim DePuy, director of public safety,
resigning his position because he "needs a
break
DePuy states that he has been considering
resigning for a while, and that after two years of
rumors circulating about his alleged involve-
tragedy. $213,687 in claims to 16 people has
been doled out by the university, and DePuy's
resignation adds another layer to the cake that is
beginning to smell as if it's been in the sun too
long.
DePuy states that the 24 months before his
announced registration has been tough on both
him and his family. "Two years of that with
ment in the scandal, he has been "beat up real your wife and son listening to this trash on TV
bad and those kinds of things are hard to take
DePuy said. DePuy portrays himself as a per-
sona much maligned by the media, misunder-
stood by the public and just an average guy
who, again, "needs a break
Too many questions remain unanswered,
however, and answers don't seem to be too
forthcoming in the future. The university could
To shortly recap this ongoing embarrass-
ment to the campus, university employees taped
telephone conversations of another ECU em-
ployee in May of 1990. Stanley Kittrell then
turned transcripts of the recordings over to the
F.B.I, in November of 1990. Investigations by
the F.B.I the State Auditor and the ECU admin-
istration itself ensued, culminating in a State be commended on its closed-mouth approach
Auditor's report stating that Evan Midgette pre- to the situation, but with that amount of money
sented the tapes to DePuy.
Midgette states that DePuy told him the
information could be used in certain circum-
stances, while DePuy maintains that he told
Midgette tliat the information could not be used
being thrown around, it's hard not to think that
something illegal took place.
DePuy's resignation heralds an event that
has been a long time coming. Having an indi-
vidual who is constantly under suspicion repre-
in a court of law and that wiretapping was sent a major force such as this campus' police
illegal.
A Federal court acquitted the university
employees of all conspiracy and wiretapping
charges; DePuy himself was never accused or
charged with any wrongdoing and maintains
his innocence in the matter.
This latest development in this serio-comic
soap opera, As The Stomach Churns, has the
makings of turning into (if it hasn't already) a
force only serves to undermine the university's
respectability.
A new clean-air policy needs to be imple-
mented on this campus. This one would take
care of the noxious cloud of rumors that hangs
over the heads of students and administrators
alike. Admitting that wrong-doing occurred, as
it looks to have, may hurt in the short run, but
will clean the horizon ahead.

Reality of Home Alone tragic, not comic
It was discovered in Chi-
cago on December 21,1992, that
two young girls (ages nine and
four) had been left at home de-
liberately by their parents, who
were on vacation in Mexico. Chi-
cago suburbanites David and
Sharon Schoo had been gone nine
days when this was discovered
by police.
In a society where art can
sometimes be completely off the
mark when trying to imitate life,
this case of child neglect read a
little too much like the script of
Home Alone. This real-life drama
proves to be far from the (over-
done) comic antics of darling
little Kevin. This occurrence
landed parents in jail.
The Schoos were charged
with two felonies each: child
abandonment and cruelty to chil-
dren. They were freed on $5,000
cash bail each and the children
were placed in foster care.
What could have possibly
been going through these
people's minds as they boarded
the plane and proceeded to spend
nine days and nights in sunny
Acapulco? It is my firm convic-
tion that there is an enormous
amount of difference between
leaving your child unattended
while you step across the street
to the neighbor's house and cal-
culatingan extended vacation to
another country.
You may be surprised to
know that these two actions are
both, in terms at least, consid-
ered to be child neglect. Most
child experts would agree that it
is perfectly normal to leave chil-
dren home alone at some point,
for a few hours in the afternoon
or evening � though certainly
not for a nine day vacation.
Child welfare agencies re-
ceived around 12 million reports
of neglect nationwide in 1991 and
investigators substantiated ne-
glect in about 40 percent of them.
The other 60 percent were either
abuse or a combined abuse and
neglect occurrence, usually un-
substantiated.
1.2 million reports. What is
this saying about our society?
Do we not care about what hap-
pens to those who will someday
grow up and contribute their tal-
ents to the continuation of life?
Children need supervision,
protection and guidance.
Granted, nine times out of 10,
nothing would happen to a child
left alone for a few hours at a
time. Unfortunately, one doesn't
always get those nine chances
before something occurs.
The Schoo children called
911 on December 21st because a
smoke alarm went off acciden-
tally and this is how the whole
case was discovered. My ques-
tion is: what if there had really
been a fire or if the smoke alarm
had never gone off at all? These
parents would never have been
found out. Do you think they
would have chanced it in the fu-
ture? Most likely, yes. Neglect is
not a one-time instance.
In fact, alcoholic or drug-
addicted parents regularly ne-
glect their children. Also, poor,
working, single parents fre-
quently leave their childrenalone
because they cannot find or af-
ford day care. This amounts to
an astronomical number of chil-
dren being left unattended ev-
ery day.
You may be wondering
what is being done about all of
this. Well, the Schoos' arrest and
conviction is not typical. Some
states have a set minimum age
for leaving a child unattended
and this usually falls between
the ages of 10 and 12. Most states
do not follow the same law, as is
the case with North Carolina.
However, there is a state-wide
fire law that prohibits leaving
children under the age of eight
alone, for the obvious safety rea-
sons.
If that is the case, then why
not stricter child abandonment
laws? The total reported cases in
North Carolina for the fiscal year
of 1991-92 was 48,146.
These are the reported
cases, not even counting those
that go unreported, which ex-
perts estimate at a phenomenal
number. Thousands of children
are left alone and their parents
have to pay for their crime.
I grew up as a latchkey kid.
I was routinely left at home be-
tween the time I got out of school
until my parents got out of work.
That time alone never became
more than three hours. Usually
it was never more than two. And
although some people would beg
to differ, I grew up to be a per-
fectly normal, functioning per-
son in society.
So maybe a certain age
needs to be defined as respon-
sible enough to be alone as a kid.
The parents are usually to blame
for their unrealistic expectations
that they place on their children.
Some just don't know enough
about their children to make a
decision about their ability. And,
sadly, most don't care.
It's time that our throw-
away society learns that they're
ditching their most important
contribution: our children.

Heroes define society through admiration
As long as there have been and encourage. vVe all have felt severe that heroes of legacy are,
that we in some way, to some de
what could be called societies, man
has seen the best and worst of
himself reflected in his environ-
ment. Usually, the worst sticks in
our minds; man is pessimistic in
nature and weaknessesor ills have
a habit of being exaggerated in
our minds and then everything
seems even worse. It is because of
civilizations' wrongs, the over-
whelming number of those
wrongs, that we all need someone
to look up to. Someone to inspire
and bestow initiative. These are
our Heroes.
We have always been pre-
sented, either by our elders or
available media, with images or
memories of superior individu-
als. These heroes have spurred
uson throughouttheages. David,
Beowulf, Gilgamesh, Perseus,
Washington, Mohammed, Jesus,
Siddhartha: persons of significant
achievement or character that
have influenced those around
mem so greatly mat they cannot
be easily regarded only as sub-
jects of literature or fable.
The manner of reverence
varies. Some merely remind us of
how to overcome our own per-
sonality flaws. Others have so radi-
cally presented new mind-sets to
deal with or mold communities,
local or global, that they are not
merely respected, they are wor-
shipped. Whether they actually
existed is a moot point as long as
the ideal they each uphold remains
sound. Thev represent our dreams
of being, our personal best desti-
nies of what we may achieve. Our
personal heroes reveal what we
seek from ourselves or those
around us.
One type of hero is the hu-
man hero. "Human" I am defin-
ing as an actual or realistic charac-
ter who reveals, by word or deed,
the nobility, intelligence or per-
spective we all may hope to
achieve. What we see in these
people is accomplishment. They
are successes because they have
surpassed the mediocrity thatapa-
thy and ignorance so easily create
gree, have a trait that makes us
better than those we see as unde-
sirable in ethic or demeanor. Our
human heroes, then, are the evi-
dence we need to convince our-
selves mat we can be more or go
farther than our present state,
whether socially or politically
without a radical departure from
who we are at the present time.
Our idols of entertainment
or sport are some of our heroes.
They have remained, more or less,
true to themselves and achieved

appearing natural and contented,
things we may wish for or try to
attain without sacrificing too much
of ourselves.
Other heroes are those of
legacy. These people have sur-
passed any comparison to people
who have achieved in the same
field. Also, these people have pre-
sented an ideal so elementary and
yet so mature that those who wish
to follow them must submit them-
selves to strict discipline. These
are the basis of our religions. From
whatever source, however mun-
daneor sublime, these heroes serve
asexamplesof devotion to an idea.
They have not only recognized
mentally how to bring about
change, personally or socially, but
they have acted to bring about
that change and considered any
deviation to be not only counter-
active but destructive to what they
believe.
Unfortunately, there have
been elements of intolerance so
for the most part, martyrs. They
have suffered the wrath of non-
acceptance and if there is what
may be called a "bright side" to
their untimely deaths, it is that the
brutality of killing for disagree-
ment of principle may bring sym-
pathy to the cause the victim
sought to promote. Christ, King,
Kennedy: these may be the first to
spring to mind, but there are oth-
ers too numerous to list and to
leave them out of a list could be
construed as disrespectful to what
they believed.
Another classification is that
of Superhero. These are the myths
matpropel the moralsand ethics
we hold as gospel. These people
have by fate, karma or luck been
granted greatness with the mini-
mum of effort. Simply put, they
have not suffered for their great-
ness. They represent the pipe
dreams wehaveof being granted
something or being famous sim-
ply by being in the right place or
through birthright.
Perseus, Superman, Valen-
tine Micheal Smith, and others
simply were themselves. No dis-
cipline, no necessary strains: su-
perheroes are the golden children.
They can do no wrong and suffer
no questions of conscience. Such
effortless existence may be seen as
heaven or hell, depending on your
comfortability with yourself.
Mainly, we seek the status as a
vessel ofglory. To be seen as supe-
rior, as better not by deed, but by
existence. It is, of course, a selfish
goal by many standards; but who
may say if Stoicism is by defini-
tion more worthy a philosophy
than Hedonism?
We all find definition of our-
selves through who we admire.
We may not do so consciously but
we cannot ignore the importance
of what is revealed by hero-wor-
ship. It is as basic as discovering
what we define as holy by what
we instinctively think of as sin.
Through heroes, not only do we
see what we hope to evade but
what we seek to be.

1 JOE OF ALL TRADES
By Joe Horst
Fly the friendly skies: be prepared to wait
Flying is such a wonderful
experience. Who would have
thought that in just over 100 years
thehuman population could cover
immense distances in the matter
of 24 hours? From the invention of
the wheel to the DC-10, what a
country we live in.
For those of you cursed with
the inability to read between the
lines, that noxious smell emanat-
ing from the text is called sarcasm.
I've flown pretty regularly for the
past five or six years now, and the
stories I could tell you. What the
hell, that's what mis column is for,
right? To tell stories. So take your
seat, fasten your seat belt and
please return the flight attendant
(notstewardess, thank you) to his
her upright position. Thank you,
political correctness.
Firstoff, airports. What won-
derful places, from those that are
one building closing at midnight
(if not earlier, like our fair station
here in the Emerald City) to mas-
sive behemoths like La Guard ia or
CHare, mat may doze off and on
in the wee hours but never quite
make it to sleep.
It must be an unwritten law
mat if you have a connecting flight
somewhere in the airport, the gate
you must get to will be the abso-
lute farthest away from your origi-
nal plane mat it can be.
There's no feeling quite like
lugging three pieces (at least) of
baggage down a concourse to a
place mat some smiling airline em-
ployee told you was, "just a little
way down, to your left" Oh, the
joy, the ecstasy � hell, you can't
even pass it off as exercise, much
less ecstasy.
Then there comes the un-
equaled pleasure of waiting for
your plane. Layovers (great word)
of three to four hours are bad
enough, but if you have one at
three in the morning�along with
those most uncomfortable chairs
known to man � hey, it doesn't
get any better than that. Actually,
an Old Milwaukee Light (or two,
or three) might be just the thing
for a situation like that.
The absolute worst airport
I've ever been in has to be the '89
Greenville airport. This place
A VIEW FROM ABOVE
looked like something from a '20s
movie, and not that great a one
either. There was no luggage car-
ousel, no way. Whatyou got wasa
20 x 20 piece of plywood outside
the single building, where the
single member of the one-man
ground crew threw your bags on
to it, and drawled out, "There you

the gates at an airport are labeled

curious.
start to worry
when the gates
at an airpor t
are labeled
"Incoming" and
"Outgoing
The flights that come to Gre-
enville even today have got to be
some of the best for jokes in the
country. Commonly known as
"puddle-jumpers these little
beauties look like they were last
used either to deposit paratroop-
ers in the last world war or a
beefed-up Cessna. Is it just me or
does anybody else worry when
seats IA and IB are reserved for
pilot and co-pilot?
The following story is true, I
swear it. I've been flying (or sit-
ting, as is the case with most pas-
sengers)forabouteighttolOhours
now, so naturally a little more time
in a plane is the first thing 1 want to
do. I'm in one of these "puddle-
jumpers waiting to take off. The
pilot cranks the engine�nothing
happens. He rolls down the win-
dow and yells out, "We're going
to try the battery
Now at this time, the whole
plane has heard this shout. So
you've got about 10 people with
the look on their faces that they
wonder just how they might be
able toget off thisdeath-trap. Jokes
are going around about seeing
someone attach jumper cables to
the plane with a bus standing by
or someone standing next to the
propellers, ready to give them a
starting shove. My personal fa-
vorite (and one I came up with)
was whether or not someone
would push the plane down a hill
so the pilot could pop the clutch.
So we finally get off the
ground and start heading to Gre-
enville. We're about half-way
there when all of a sudden, this
loud BEEEEEPP comes out of the
cockpit (though I hesitate to call it
that, since only a curtain sepa-
rates the crew from the passen-
gers). More jokes and looks run
through the cabin. The major one
was mat the pilot was honking
his horn to move something out
of the way. That "something"
ranged from a flock of birds to a
tractor, because everyone who
lives in eastern North Carolina
has experienced getting stuck
behind a tractor in traffic. Now
that's what I call a flight.
The other thing I find hi-
larious about plane travel are
those safety insti actions they give
you before taking off. Is there any-
body in this country, much less
mis world, that would not be able
to figure out that seat belt? What
high degree of intelligence does it
take to figure out a simple clasp?
Also, it's great to hear such uplift-
ing information about "water
landings" (great name for sea
crash) or "loss of cabin pressure"
(or a hole in the plane). The kicker
comes after all this talk of what to
do if the plane crashes, they smile
atyou and say, "We thank you for
flying with us and have a nice
day
Flying � technology at its
best and human natureatits worst.
From the screaming, running-
down-the-aisle, kicking-the-back-
of-your-seat kid behind you to the
fat guy who inevitably sits in the
aisle seat next to you, there's no
experience to rival mat of an air-
planes. Bad food and even worse
places to sleep in, it's amazing
how many people still take to the
skies every day.
Thank you, Orville and
Wilbur, for allowing us to literally
reach for the skies. Now, if we
could quiet it down some, we
might have something there.
By T. Scott Batchelor
Evolution of X-mas hinges on person's age
Two days before Christmas
1992 I sat in my car in the park-
ing lot of a local mall, waiting
patiently for a woman to back
out of a parking space so 1 could
nab it. People were everywhere.
Vehicle traffic around the shop-
ping centers was frustrating, and
pedestrian traffic wasn't much
better. This Christmas season
shaped up to be a retail sales
boom. As I sat observing shop-
pers flocking through the doors
of the mall, I thought, "Gee, I'm
glad we're experiencing the
worst economy in 50 years, as
president-elect Clinton puts it.
I wonder how busy the stores
would be if the economy were
sound?" What a complex situa-
tion.
When you're a child, how-
ever, the holiday season isn't
quite so complicated. It's a magi-
cal time when patience, not capi-
tal, is the most important asset.
I was a very curious child,
(which is not the same as having
a curious childhood, although
in my case both apply). I remem-
ber clearly the night I went
snooping around our house look-
ing for my Christmas presents
because I suspected Santa Claus
was a hoax. Unfortunately, I
found the presents � and lost
my innocence at the same time.
One of the gifts from (dare
I utter it?) Mom and Dad was an
Emerson receiver-turntable-tape
player. That's an eight-track tape
player. Believe it.
Packing a walloping 13
watts per channel, the system
really kicked, and I was grateful
to have it, but it wasn't from
Santa Claus. Santa was dead.
Still, I bravely carried on
and found new sources of joy
during Christmas. Like partici-
pating in "playing" Santa to my
niece and nephew. I helped put
together toys to be set under the
Christmas tree, and I even
"tested" some of the more inter-
esting items, like my nephew's
remote-controlled dune buggy,
just to make sure everything
worked properly.
The next evolutionary step
came when I started receiving
presents at various times of the
year that were explicitly deemed
Christmas presents. My parents
would hand me a baseball glove
in the middle of June and say,
"Now, this is part of your Christ-
mas this year I thought that
was a bit strange, but I never
Could you have
imagined, at
eight years old,
ever being
thrilled with
getting a
microwave for
Christmas?
complained of course.
One year in April, when I
was about 12 or 13,1 came home
from school to find my father
erecting a brand-new trampoline
in our back yard. I had been whin-
ing about having one for several
months.
"This is your Christmas
present this year, got it?" Dad
yelled, as I tossed down my so-
cial studies book and bolted
across the yard in a delighted
frenzy.
I spent many hours bound-
ingabout on that trampoline, and
many hours recuperating from
fractures, sprains and contusions.
Looking back orvthat time, I am
THE BUCK STOPS HERE
convinced the trampoline is an
invention of a committee of
greedy orthopedic surgeons.
Isn't it a bit suspicious that the
word "trample" is in trampo-
line? Think about it?
The final step in a person's
development vis a vis Christmas
comes wnen, instead of getting
all kinds of purely fun products
to play with, such as a can of
green slime, a trampoline, an air
rifle, cars that change into mon-
sters, etc you become the re-
cipient of things you need. Like
clothes. And, in my case, money
for school. Could you have
imagined, at eight years old,
ever being thrilled with getting
a microwave for Christmas? Of
course not, because you didn't
live in an apartment, subsist-
ing on meals that can be cooked
in five minutes. Or how about,
at 10 years old, a personal com-
puter that doesn't even have a
port for game cartridges in
back? Not on your life, buddy.
But we're tickled pink to come
into these items now because
we want them. We want them
because we need them. A
strange turn of events, isn't it?
Just last week, I was walk-
ing through Wal-Mart or K-Mart
or one of those other places that
corrupt T.V. news magazines
feed on, and I found myself in
the middle of the toys section.
There on the shelf, staring
me in the face, having no practi-
cal value whatsoever, was an
original Slinky. Like an adult, I
weighed my choices carefully
before I decided whether to buy
that toy or not.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I
have to go. You see, the apart-
ments where I live are divided
into two stories connected by a
set of stairs. And in case you've
forgotten, Slinkies just love
stairs. �

got a little something for just about
everybody.
One group that's really
ready to gorge themselves is law-
yers. Legal Times, the newspaper

tion in Cuomo's remark to The
New York Times that "If the offer

Interest groups, like feminist
organizations, put out a good
spread (no pun intended) as well.

Patricia Ireland, president of the
National Organization for
Women, recently revealed that, in
addition to her husband, she has
had a female "companion" for four
years. How about that! Food for
feminists; food for husbands; food
for gays; and food for adulterers!
Another feminist who chose
not to stay home and bake cookies

the Rodham?). Hillary frequently
serves up her pro-choice views.
But showing that she doesn't want
anybody to go hungry, Hillary, in
remarks before the Children's
Defense Fund, asked "what,on
earth could be more important
than making sure that every child
has a chance to be born healthy?"
That's the kind of political deli-
cacy even far right pro-lifers glee-
fully chew on.
Bill himself, though, cooks
up the healthiest cornucopia of
political fare. For instance, on one
platter is the military-loathing
string-puller doing anything to
stay out of uniform, and on an-
other platter is a steel-jawed sa-
ber-rattler casting stern warnings
at Saddam Hussein.
The people who will influ-
ence Clinton's administration also
cause hungry diners to salivate
wildly�not knowing whether to
expect sour or sweet. In economic
policy, Clinton will hear the voices
from pro-business types like Lloyd
Bentsen and Goldman Sach's Rob-
ert Rubin, as well as those of so-
cialists like Robert Shearer. Rob-
ert Reich will favor free trade,
while protectionists like Laura
Tyson, Ira Magaziner and the AFL-
CIO will sit on the other end of the
scale. Foreign and military policy
will be subject to an even wider
range of recipes.
Clinton's promise of change
to a government that "looks more
like America" has thus far resulted
in appointments consisting of
about 73 percent Washington old-
timers (or those who look like
Washington old-timers), so the
new spice won't exactly send any-
body rushing for the punch bowl.
Freshman Senator Carol Mosley
Braun may be sterling example of
how much better off we'll be by
trying to make government look
like America. Before being sworn
into office, Braun took the
Concorde and a private jet back
from vacation when her campaign
was still in debt; improperly hired
10 new staffers; moved into a
$3,300-a-month penthouse apart-
ment and bought a new jeep and
expensive clothes while members
of her staff had not been paid; said
she wasn't interested in a position
on the Senate Judiciary Commit-
tee even though she campaigned
on the inept hand ling of the Anita
HillClarence Thomas hearings
by the all-male committee; and
vacationed with an a accused
sexual harasser. The dish might
look different, but it tastes the
same.
So here we sit at the Clintons'
table. Unfortunately, we ha ve 1 i ttle
choice of course or content, but
will be fed at the host's and host-
ess' pleasure. Hopefully, we won't
be poisoned.
At any rate, considering the
unsettling backtracking and re-
evaluating Clinton has already
done on things like capital gains,
the deficit, gays in the military,
and so forth, I'm keeping a four-
year supply of Alka Seltzer in the
medicine cabinet.

Montenegro's president is
re-elected, pro-Serbian
political movement loses
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia
(AP) � Montenegrin President
Momir Bulatovic was re-elected
by a wide margin over his
staunchly pro-Serbian opponent,
unofficial results showed today.
Bulatovic, who has indicated
he might reconsider tiny
Montenegro's alliance with Serbia,
won 64 percent of the vote in a
runoff election Sunday, according
to provisional results published
by the Tanjug news agency.
. Branko Kostic, a strong
proponent of close ties to Serbia,
got 36 percent.
Serbia and Montenegro are
Yugoslavia's only remaining
republics after fourothersdeclared
independence.
Serbia's nationalist leaders
are widely blamed for the breakup
and for inciting wars that have
killed tens of thousands inCroatia
and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Many citizens of
Montenegro believe they are being
unfairly punished by economic
sanctions the United Nations
imposed on what remains of
Yugoslavia.
In other Yugoslavia-related
developments today:
�An emergency summit of
eight Islamic countries opened in
Senegal with calls for international
military intervention to stop the
massacre of Muslim Bosnians and
the lifting of a United Nations ban
on arming the Bosnians.
�Peace talks on Bosnia-
Herzegovina continued with the
arrival in Geneva of hard-line
Serbian President Slobodan
Milosevic.
The second round resumed
Sunday after a six-day recess with
conflicting ind ications whether the
Serbs would be be willing to
compromise on their steadfast
demand for their own state within
a state.
� French Foreign Minister
Roland Dumas met with officials
to discuss his proposal that
detention camps in Bosnia be
forcibly liberated, even if France
had to act alone.
Humanitarian Action
Minister Bernard Kouchner said
Dumas' plan included actions to
free "a certain number of women"
held in the camps.
In Belgrade, the Serbian and
federal capital of Yugoslavia,
Bulatovic was once an ally of
Milosevic.
Nevertheless, the 36-year-
old Bulatovic and his government
recently have expressed serious
reservations about the policies of
Serbian leaders.
There have been no
suggestions that a move for
Montenegrin independence is
imminent, although Bulatovic has
indicated he might reconsider the
nature of Montenegro's alliance
with Serbia if Belgrade's policies
do not change.
About 10 percent of
Montenegro's 600,000 people
consider themselves Serbs, and it
is generally believed that any
attempt to break from Serbia
would spark another civil war.

Northwest Airlines, KLM Airways merger
cleared by Department of Transportation
WASHINGTON (AD�The
Department of Transportation
agreed Monday to allow
Northwest Airlines and KLM
Royal Dutch Airlines to merge their
services and operate as if they are
a single carrier.
The department also granted
antitrust immunity to the carriers.
The Transportation Department
had tentatively approved the plan
last Nov. 16.
Theaction was made possible
by an "open skies" accord reached
in September between the United
States and the Netherlands. Under
the pact, the carriers of both
countries have unlimited access to
the others' international market.
Thus, airlines of the two countries
may fly toany city in either country
without restriction.
"This agreement is an
illustration of the benefits of open
skies Transportation Secretary
Andrew H. Card r. said in a
statement. "We hope it will
provide an impetus for open skies
accords with other countries,
moving us further in the direction
of a truly global aviation
environment
KLM owns about 49 percent
of Northwest. The deal apj . oved
today was set up to satisfy U.S.
laws barring foreign ownership of
airlines.
Approval of the deal comes
just weeks after American Airlines'
parent company received a one-
third stake in Canadian Airlines
International in exchange for
investing $195 million in the
struggling carrier. Similar plans
by British Airways and USAir fell
apart last month, although the
British carrier has said it might try
again.

U.S. Marines target Somali weapons
market, snipers shoot at Congressmen
MOGADISHU, Somalia The U.Sled force is had no indication that Clinton
MOGADISHU, Somalia
(AP) � U.S. forces Sunday
mounted their largest operation
so far in the Somali capital,
sending 900 Marines,
helicopters and armored
vehicles to clean out the
country's biggest weapons
market.
The strong thrust to pacify
the country came on the same
day that 14 warring factions
were to begin a truce.
Because of poor
communications, it could not be
determined if the factions were
observing the cease-fire or even
if they had been informed of the
agreement, reached in Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia.
Sunday saw some of the
heaviest clan fighting in
Mogadishu since the U.Sled
military intervention began Dec.
9.
Three Somalis were killed
by Marines and dozens were
wounded in clashes between
rival clans.
Maj. Ken Roberts, a
military spokesman, said the
Marines cordoned off a large
area around the gun market
Monday, then moved in to seize
all weapons. He said no
resistance had been reported to
"Operation Nutcracker
"We hope to get a big
haul said another command
spokesman, Marine Chief
Warrant Officer Eric Carlson.
The U.Sled force is
working to secureaid distribution
routes and rescue millions of
Somalis from the anarchy, disease
and famine that have killed
350,000 in the past year.
U.S. envoy Robert Oakley
said that Sunday's fighting could
be seen as an anomaly amid a
gradual reduction of clan violence
in Mogadishu.
"A month ago they were in
full-scale civil war. There's been
considerable improvement
Oakley said. "They are still
moving toward agreements
most of their differences will be
solved peacefully
Oakley, a former
ambassador to Somalia, was one
of the main forces behind getting
warring factions to the peace talks
table in Ethiopia.
The cease-fire agreement
that the factions reached Sunday
call for them all to disarm by
March 1.
But the clan warlords do not
have absolute control over their
fighters and the agreement does
not affect the free-lance bandits
who have looted much of the food
aid.
Oakley returned to Somalia
on Sunday from Washington,
where he met with officials of
President-elect Clinton's
administration.
New administrations in
Washington often change
ambassadors but Oakley said he
had no indication that Clinton
would replace him.
Other incidents on Sunday
showed the substantial task that
the forces face in pacifying
Mogadishu, much less the rest of
the country.
Farouk Mawlawi, the U.N.
spokesman in Mogadishu, said
the Irish aid agency GOAL
reported insecurity at three of its
feeding centers in the Mogadishu
area. One Somali worker was
killed Sunday at the center in
Gupta, he said.
Also Sunday, seven U.S.
congressmen briefly came under
sniper fire as they visited a
stadium serving as camp for 1,500
Marines.
There were no injuries in
the group, which included Curt
Weldon, R-Pa John P. Murtha,
D-Pa Bob Livingston, R-La
George Darden, D-Ga Jack Reed,
D-R.l Nick Joe Rahall II, D-
W.Va and Tony Hall, D-Ohio.
Murtha, chairman of the
House defense appropriations
subcommittee, told reporters
he'd like to see the United
Nations take a greater role in
Somalia so U.S. forces could leave
sooner.
He has expressed concern
the United States could become
mired in Somalia.
Nearly 22,000 U.S. soldiers
are in Somalia. Twenty other
countries contributed soldiers to
aid the Americans.

tanker
SUMBURGH, Shetland
Islands (AP) � Infrared images
indicate that the grounded tanker
Braer may still hold most of its
cargo, a government official said,
but stormy weather today
continued to prevent efforts to
salvage the oil.
The weather � including
wind gusts of 95 mph overnight�
also thwarted Prince Charles and
his father, Prince Philip, who
canceled plans to visit the island
today. Buckingham Palace said
they would try again on Tuesday.
The tanker, carrying 24.6
million gallons of Norwegian
crude to Canada, ran aground
last Tuesday after losing power.
Oil has polluted 20 miles of
coastline, killing more than 600
birds and other wildlife.
Chris Harris, chief of
Marine Pollution Control Branch
in London, told Independent
Television News that the infrared
images indicate the 89,700-ton
tanker Braer still holds a
"substantial amount" of its cargo.
Others, however, were more
cautions.
"It is wrong to try to construe
information on the amount of oil
remaining in the vessel from
infrared photography said Kevin
Colcomb, a Marine Pollution
Control Unit scientists working in
the Shetlands.
He said the technique is new
and "we're giving it a try in hopes
that we might learn something from
it
Dan Kaakenben, spokesman
for the Dutch salvage firm Smit
Tak, said the infrared images were
inconclusive.
"The best way to determine
the cargo is to get on board and
take measurements. We haven't
been able to do that Kaakenben
said.
Smit Tak has 10 tons of
equipment, including generators
and p umps, in place near the wreck
to pump out the oil when weather
permits.

But the barge Tak-10, which
would receive the oil, had taken
shelter today in northern England,
more than 400 miles south of the
Shetland Islands, and was not
expected before late Tuesday at
the earliest, Kaakenben said.
By Sunday night, 785 oil-
covered birds had been recovered
from beaches, 612 of them dead.
Three seals and one otter ha ve also
been found dead, according to the
Royal Society for the Protection of
Birds.
The government has banned
fishing in the area.
Fifteen people ventured cf&t
Sunday to pray at Duncrossnes's
Church, an 18th century stom?
building a mile from the beached
tanker in the Bay of Quendaie.
"We thank God no lives wefe
lost on this ship, that life was
preserved. Help us strive to save
our heritage at this time. Help the
members of our creation that have
no voices of their own said the
Rev. Trevor Williams. -
Iraqis continue to dismantle Kuwaiti base
despite warnings from U.N. observers
KUWAIT (AP) � Iraqis in
civilian clothes crossed the border
into Kuwait today for a second time
in as many days and began
emptying and dismantling
warehouses at a disputed naval
base, a U.N. official said.
The border crossings came
amid rising tensions over an
escalation in Iraqi challenges to the
United Nations as well as the
United States and its allies.
Abdel Latif Kabbaj,
spokesman for the U.N.
observation mission in Kuwait, told
The Associated Press that about
120 unarmed Iraqis emptied or
removed "warehouses, water tanks
and electrical wires He said the
men were warned by U.N.
observers that they were violating
Gulf War cease-fire accords.
On Sunday, 200 armed Iraqis
in civilian clothing went to the same
area and seized armaments,
including explosives and four
Chinese-built anti-ship Silkworm
missiles, abandoned by Iraq during
the 1991 war.
The first foray came a day
after the United States said that
Saddam Hussein's government
capitulated to an allied ultimatum
to remove anti-aircraft missiles
from southern Iraq.
Butitcoincidedwithamove
by Iraq to prevent U.N. teams
charged with dismantling
Saddam's weapons of mass
destruction from flying into Iraq
in their own planes.
Iraqi Foreign Minister
Mohammed Saeed el-Sahhaf told
the Egyptian-owned Middle East
News Agency today the men who
crossed the border Sunday were
"workers for a private contracting
company" and were removing
property left behind by Iraqi
forces as they retreated in the
Gulf War.
He said Iraq had permission
from Maj. Gen. Timothy Dibuama
of Ghana, commander of an
unarmed U.N. force mat monitors
the demilitarized zone along the
Kuwait-Iraq border.
Kabbaj denied the Iraqis
had a permit to be in the area.
In Bonn, Germany, U.N.
Secretary-General Boutros
Boutros-Ghali said he hoped the
Security Council would give a
"very stiff answer" to Iraq's
incursions.
The border incidents occurred
about 50 miles north of Kuwait City
near the port town of Umm Qasr,
where Iraq had a naval base before
the war.
Late last year, a U.N
appointed border commission
completed the first formal
demarcation of the Kuwait-Iraq
border and the naval base was
awarded to Kuwait. Iraq retained
Umm Qasr.
Iraq has refused to recognize
the border. In fact, Baghdad still
claims sovereignty over all of
Kuwait, which it invaded in August
1990 and held for seven months.
No shooting or casualties
were reported in Sunday's incident
among the U.N. personnel manning
the bunkers where the weapons
were stored 400 yards inside
Kuwait.
Kabbaj said the unarmed U.N.
personnel tried unsuccessfully to
stop the raiders by blocking their
vehicles with trucks. He said at least
one U.N. vehicle was rammed.

The East Carolinian
JANUARY 12, 1993
Tuition
Continued from page 1
North Carolina undergradu-
ates should pay 20 percent more in
tuition next fall, and graduate stu-
dents should pay 50 percent more,
the report said.
The extra money generated
by tuition increases would go back
into the university system to beef
up flagging library budgets and
professors' salaries.
The consultants didn't limit
their attention to public universi-
ties. They also recommend that the
state stop its 20-year-old tradition
of giving each private college and
university in the state an automatic
subsidy for each Tar Heel enrolled.
North Carolina's 11 "peer"
states�those deemed com pa rable
to North Carolina � charge stu-
dents between 25 percent and 35
percent of the cost of educating
them; UNC charges only 10.9 per-
cent, the report says. In addition,
the report predicts no revenue
booms in the next eight years.
The draft recommends the
Legislature adopt a policy that
would have UNC students paying
about 25 percent of the total educa-
tion cost within five years. UNC
students on average annually pay
about $819 in tuition and academic
fees, the report says, while the av-
erage cost of educating each is
$7,502 annually.
For in-state undergraduates,
this means that over the next four
years, tuition alone would increase
81 percent to an average of $1,350,
an increase that many educators
warn would price many students
right out of the college market.
"I think it's absurd said Dan
Gurley, student body president at
Appalachian State University. "Just
because wehave reasonably priced
education in the state doesn't mean
we should jack the price up. These
people must have forgotten what
the Constitution of the state says
For graduate students, a 50
percent tuition increase could prove
disastrous, said Felix Joyner, UNC
vice president for finance.
Although most graduate stu-
dents receive some kind of finan-
cial assistance that lowers their tu-
ition, their tuition still has to be
paid. The pool of money needed
for such assistance, Joyner said,
would not keep pace with the tu-
ition increase.
Jane Smith Patterson, adviser
to Gov. Jim Hunt and chair of the
committee'seducation subcommit-
tee, said the state could increase the
amount of money it gives UNC for
student financial aid. In addition,
the report notes that because tu-
ition is so low, many Tar Heel stu-
dents do not even qualify for fed-
eral financial aid under the compli-
cated formulas used by the federal
government. Iftuitionwentup, the
logic goes, so might federal aid.
William Little, UNC's vice
president for academics, d isagrees.
"They seem to be operating
under the premise that federal fi-
nancial aid is going to take care of
the problem, and I know that's not
true he said. "The need is not
being met now. Universities have
to scratch really hard to find ways
to supplement financial aid
Ms. Patterson, who just re-
signed as vice chancellor at UNC-
Wilmington to becomeHunt's bud-
get and technology adviser, re-
sponded: "I don't think that just
because you don't have enough fi-
nancial aid to go arour voushouId
not look at new ways of financing
education
Rep. Martin Nesbitt, a Bun-
combe County Democrat who also
sits on the committee, said he
doesn't like changing the 30-year-
old constitutional provision. Sec-
ond, even if tuition were to go up
dramatically, he doesn't agree with
the consultant's recommendation
that the university ought to be able
to keep the extra money.
Under age
rapist faces
court date
WILMINGTON, N.C (AP) �
A 12-year-old New HanoverCounty
boy maybe tried this weekon charges
that he raped a 5-year-old neighbor
girl in thewoodsbehind theirhouses,
officials said.
The boy, whose name has not
been disclosed because of his age,
was charged with second-degree
rape and was taken to the New
Hanover County Juvenile Services
Center on Friday, said Sheriff's De-
tective K.B. Foss.
Foss said the boy had seen some
obscenevideotapes,apparentlywith
the consent of his parents, that may
have contributed to the incident
"1 don't know where it fits in,
butldid doasearchof the home and
confiscated some obscene material
from the parents Foss said. "I think
the videos had a part to play in it. It
stems from the video
The boy's parents, who have
not been charged, axe shocked by the
allegations, Foss said.
Democrats
Continued from page 1
The group has also been
tapped to work as event staff for
the inauguration and the parade,
and will walk in the parade with
other campaign volunteers.
"We received a lot of state-
wide and even nation-wide recog-
nition forourcampaign work said
Bill Gheen, vice president of the
campus organization.
The College Democrats
worked as vol unteers for Vice Presi-
dent-elect Al Gore's visit to ECU
and President-elect Bill Clinton's
visit to Kinston in October. They
also initiated a campus voter regis-
tration drive and planned visits to
campus by North Carolina politi-
cians, including Congressman
Lancaster.
The group received a con-
gratulatory call from the Demo-
cratic National Committee follow-
ing the Gore visit. "They were im-
pressed with how well we did in
producing a crowd and in working
at the event said Scarlette Gardner,
member of the College Democrats
executive committee and chair of
their inaugural committee.

Sounds from a year to remember
By Thomas Croft
SUf f Writer
"Wfcesides unruly spotted owls,
�urbanrioting and loot-
M ing, a big dang hurricane and
J the fortunate ousting of an un-
fortunate president, 1992 was a semi-
flowery time for pop music, particularly
forrockand hip-hop. Progress was made
intermsofagraduallyexpansivebreadth
of artistic integrity in pop music, and
oftentimes it seemed artists maderecords
for love of the music instead of the dol-
lar.
There weren't any believe-the-hype,
garage-to-gargantuan Nirvana scams,
Michael Jackson got uglier, oilier and
worse sounding and the industry mus-
tered the gall to sport a winner-take-all
in the mega pathetic excuse for a glam
metalrock band category: Ugly Kid
Joe, whom it's so easy to hate everything
about.
So, down to citing this
critic's top five pop re-
leases of the past year,
noting some exceptional
honorable mentions, and
keeping his ego going with
the who-to-keep-an-eye-
out-for artists in coming
months.
Buffalo Tom
1. Buffalo Tom
Let Me Come Over
Youthful products of Boston's
angst-rock trio factory, these guys tout
thirteen brilliant tracks on their third
LP.
Tighter, coherently textured, and
lyrically elusive though ponderous, Let
Me Come Over hoists Buffalo Tom into
Great Songwriters status, and no one
can dismiss thoroughly (album-long)
excellent songwriting (see Matthew
Sweet).
They still have the grind, though,
often prompting a scratched scalp and
wonderment that three peop le can whip
up such a racket. It's obvious all these
songs were composed on an acoustic
guitar, and Bill Janovitz's words coat
slices of life with slanted quirk.
2. Brand New Heavies
Heavy
Rhyme
Experience,
Vol.1
Three Brits un-
load their lead vo-
calist for 10 differ-
ent rap artists on a
10-track record
that's the most pro-
gressive in hip-
hop's canon: multi-
ethnic rap recorded
Jive in the studio with live bass, guitar,
drums, percussion, minimal keyboards,
no samples, some scratching, and
mounds of groove.
Artists such as Black Sheep (origi-
nally fromSanford,N.C.), The Pharcyde,
Main Source and Grand Puba (formerly
of Brand Nubian) are featured on this
crucial collection of jazzy funk and dope
raps. A must.
3. Polvo
Cor-Crane Secret
What is pop music? Don't ask Polvo,
the four Chapel Hill kids who mimic
then dust the pants off Sonic Youth�to
whom they're incessantly compared�
on their debut LP. After several 7" re-
leases and ample underground hype
around the southeast and particularly
in NYC, Chapel Hill-based (and
Superchunk run) Merge Records has
graced the listeningpublicwith a wicked
guitar-led alchemy of sorts, quite diffi-
cult to tag with labels or comparisons.
The record is indie label magic that'd
probably flop on a major, and all the
better. Cor-Crane Secret is like one big
experiment: songs tend to bleed into
one another, vocals and lyrics swerve
and stumble in the sometimes too-clut-
tered mix, and not since My Bloody
Valentine's Loveless have guitars been
tamed and manipulated so creatively
yet all the while retaining a sense of
melody, rhythm and
reason.
4. U2
Achtung Baby
Maybe it was re-
leased in 1991, but it's a
1992 record. This
Achtung Baby thing just
won't go away, and for good reason.
The Irish quartet'smostambitious LP to
date, Achtung comes off as dehuman-
ized, industrialized rock music, the fact
of which rings true to the extent that an
underpinning yet understated theme
throughout the album incorporates the
corporate, desensitizing (de)evolution
of contemporary art, and perhaps of the
industrial military complex. Quite aware
of entangling military alliances, Bono,
Edge, Mullen and Clayton fuse their
measly guitar bass, drums and ever-
improving, ever-impassioned vocals
with crunchy feedback, asphalt beats
and swirling, twisted synthetic effects
thatmakeeach song sound really, really
BIG. To his credit, Bono plays off the
giant machine effect of Achtung's music
with lyrics about love, divorce and feel-
ings. Futuristic, primitive: superb art.
5. BeastieBoys
Check Your Head
Polvo
Whoo-ee. AdRock, MCA, and Mike
D got more surprises
up their sleeve than a
Food Lion-brand can
of beefliKe stew.
Their third LP, Check
Your Head isn't old
school rap per se (say
Run DMC or even
Paul's Bovtique), but
the music is old
school funk (see Sly
and the Family Stone,
Herbie Hancock,
Funkadelic, Santana,
even Miles Davis).
Actually, the music�this time (mostly)
played by the Beasties themselves on
guitar, bass and drums�is Check Your
Head's greatest strength. With 20 tunes
and at almost an hour, the music flows
sugary smooth and often overshadows
the rapping. Lyrically, Check Your Head
is definitely a lateral move from their
first two albums: same topics, different
words. One cool note is tha t AdRock can
be credited with the Phillies Blunt para-
phernalia craze. All in all, pretty def
stuff, for white kids.
Okay, now to honorable mentions
for excellent 1992 albums. Toad the Wet
Sprocket, Fear: splendid folkrock,
sometimes too bfty lyrics; Pavement,
Slanted and Enchanted: dark humor
bathed in dastardly skanky prrxluction;
R.E.M Automaticor the People: they still
live in Athens; Grand Puba, Reel to Reel:
the second-best voice in rap, but too
much sexism; Juliana Hatfield, Hey Babe:
no more Blake Babies, so expect much
more spirited, edgy rock plus killer lyr-
ics; Public Enemy, Greatest Misses: the
ones that hit on this one keep Chuck D &
Co. way ahead; Tom Waits, Bone Ma-
chine: still raspy, saturated, sidewalk
educated, uncannily poetic; Sugar, Cop-
per Blue: cheesy album title, terrible live
show, but relentless hooks and, as al-
ways, masterful songwriting from hard
trio guru Bob Mould.
A new year means perhaps a more
fortunate president and maybe freer
North American trade and possibly a
new NFL franchise or a McSoy sand-
wich, but also it means music from art-
ists either dormant, touring or asleep in
1992. Save your pennies for new releases
by A Tribe Called Quest, Dinosaur Jr,
Smashing Pumpkins, Ice T, What Peggy
Wants, Queen Sarah Saturday, The
Goats and the as yet unsigned NYC quar-
tet, Faith.

Student Union plans
diverse spring semester
By Stacy Peterson
Staff Writer
This spring the ECU Student
Union Committees are offering per-
haps the most event-packed and cul-
turally diverse lineup in recent his-
tory.
Offering everything from a
Travel-Adventure Film Series to na-
tional and local Performing Arts,
chances are one would not have to be
culturally hungry to enjoy what the
Student Union has to offer.
Perhaps the most popular attrac-
tions the Union sponsors are the mov-
ies at Hendrix Theater. Some upcom-
ingmovies for January and February
include SingleWhiteFemale,HotShots,
Cool World, Patriot Games, Diggstown,
Passenger 57, The Player and Dracula.
Also in Hendrix Theater, the Student
Union will continue the Travel-Ad-
venture Film Series with "Viva
Mexico "Israel "Highways to
Alaska" and "Charmof the South
Jan. 29, the Student Union will
begin theirPerforming Arts series with
theMarthaGraham DanceEnsemble.
Martha Graham is considered one of
the first innovators of modem dance.
The ensemble will present a dance
program showcasing her style.
March 29, the Student U nion will
present "Smoke On The Mountain"
This musical comedy was written by
Connie Ray,a 1977 graduate of ECU.
The story is based on a small religious
town in North Carolina d uring the 1 ast
years of the Great Depression. With
500 performances, this play isnow the
longest running play in the history of
Off-Broadway's Lamb's Theatre.
March 20, "The Dayton Contem-
porary Dance Company will per-
form as part of a first-ever residency
with the University. This group pro-
duces choreography, dance, music,
and design at its most dynamic
Finally, on April 26, "The King's
Singers" will bring their version of
Bach to Rock, a cappela singing to
Wright Auditorium. This six-man
vocal ensemble has performed every-
where from Shea Stadium in New
YorktotheTonightShowwithjohnny
Carson. All of the Performing Arts
series will be held in Wright Audito-
rium, with tickets for students at $7 to
$12.
Another area ofevents scheduled
for the spring include a lecture and

Williams' wit, irony weave
magic carpet in 'Aladdin'
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
AfterwatchingRobReiner's
latest film, A Few Good Men, I
realized that he has quietly be-
come the most consistent direc-
tor working in film today.
When A Few Good Men is
included, Reiner now has seven
films to his credit. Every single
one has been successful, both
artistically and commercially.
Reiner is a director to whom the
term auteur could be applied.
The auteur theory was
crafted in the 1960s by film critic
Andrew Sarris. The theory has
been much maligned, but still
has applicability to cinema.
The auteur theory simply
states that a director is to a film
whatanauthoristoabook.Those
who subscribe to this theory be-
lieve that the single most impor-
tant facet of any film is the person who directs it.
Like most theories, the auteur theory needs to be
loosely applied to many films. Thre are more exceptk ns
to C iis rule than adherents. Not many would argue, for

about a Navy lawyer's quest for justice.
example, thatChrisColumbus, whodirected Home Alone
2, was the most important person working on that film.
Still the auteur theory, if
only applied tohigh quality films
with artistic aspirations, isa solid
statement about cinema. A tal-
ented director is the most impor-
tant part of any film with which
he is associated.
Rob Reiner's films provide
ample support for the auteur
theory. Hehasnowdirected com-
edies (This is Spinal Tap and When
Harry Met Sally ), light drama
(StatulByMe), romance(Th?Sure
Thing), fable (The Princess Bride),
honor Misery) and now intense
drama (A Few Good Men).
Though these films differ,
they have several unifyingquali-
ties. They all involve extremely
well-developed and interesting
characters, they al! tell full, satis-
fying stories with little deviation
from the plot, and they are all
incredibly entertaining.
If there is any doubt about Reiner's many talents, just

In September, Hendrix Theatre
was packed for the Student Union
showing of Beauty and the Beast.

showing was a full year after the

Disney's newest animated classic.
Once again revisiting a traditional
tale, theenterprisingMusketeers have
found a way to entertain the young
and old by relying on the formula for
success established by The Little Mer-
maid.
This formula is to make the he-
roes young, the heroinesteadfast and
intelligent, the villain in some way
endearing, to use magic, include the
best songwriters from stage and
screen in the past 10 years and then
trust the audience to be able to keep
up. It works.
Aladdin is a street orphan who
steals onlv to eat and is aided and
abetted by his pet monkey. He is
young, handsome, resourceful and
can sing whi le ba ttling the local police
and outwittingthe market merchants
for his daily bread.
Like Ariel (The Little Mermaid)
and Belle (The Beauty ami the Beast),
Aladdin longs for love.Theview from
hisbedroom window isoftheSultan's
royal palace and he dreams of some-
day being rich enough to live there.
The Sultan's daughter, Jasmine,
is to marry in three days a suitor
chosen by her father. She longs to
leave the palace, something she has
never before done. Parallel to this,
Aladdin wants to bea somebody and
escape his life; she wants to escape
being a somebody and livenormally.
Don't pull a mental muscle try-
ing to see the ou tcome of thi s movie.
It is apparent, but the thrill is in the
magic carpet ride on the way.
The villain in Aladdin is the sor-
cerer Jafar,advisor to the Sultan, who
isaccompanied by lagojafar'sparrot
and partner in crime (Gilbert
Gottfried, a riot of a curmudgeon).
Jafar seeks the magic lamp in which
resides thegeniev. ho will (singalong
folks) grant him three wishes. But
this is no ordinary genie; it is Robin
Williams.
Humor has never been absent
from a Disney film.
InAladdin isfound witandirony
and thephysical manifestation ofWil-
liams' lightning comic mind. Wil-
liams, now able to disregard the fa-
cial expressions that can sometimes
slurhisdiction, becomesa vocal hur-
ricane of punchlines. Since dialogue
is recorded before the art is devel-
oped, the animators were able to
incorporate Williams' inevitable ad-
libs much more fluid ly than wasdone
in Ferngidly last year.
As to be expected, Williams is
hilarious. Impersonating Jack
Nicholson, Robert De Niro, William
F. Buckley, Ed Sullivan, Williams
seems tochange his voice with every
line of script It is that much more
affecting when the genie uses Wil-
liams' true voicewhen lamenting his
own wish in life: tobe free of the lamp
and whoever possesses it
A credit to Disney is that Wil-

Southern rock vents
(hopeful) last breath
By Thomas Croft
Staff Writer
You're a rowdy
cowboy who
byes on burning up those gritty high-
way miles, tuggin' at a fifth of whis-
key and chasin' down the two wicked
women you met back at Bucky's
Dust)' Grille & Tavern. They'redoin'
95 and you're tearing rubber off your
tires and screaming all over the road
and i ,e all better bet the good Lord's
lookin' after you, you wild, crazed
Southern boy.
You lose the women, so it's time
to pop in some kid music�(bad as in
good). Hmm you think,how about
something rockin but something
new? Why of course�-Copperhead!
Southern Rock, bless it's tired,
whiskey-soaked soul, will rjl die.
And the five tuff (as in tough) fellas in
Southern Rock'snewest tour deforce
�Copperhead � glare in the photo
on the back cover of their debut self-
titled LP (Mercury) like they wanna'
raise hell all over your face.
Oh, in the name of Johnny
Walker, the NRA, too-tight Wran-
glers and sexy lady mudflaps, why
must the Copperheads of this world
limittheirlyrical scope and iconogra-
phy to hard liquor, nailing women,
wielding guns because a man's just
got to, driving a million highway
miles without peeing, and suffering
through this hard, hard life?
Listening to Copperhead, the
question arises time and again be-
cause despite the fact that the boys
project an image of five unrighteous
imps who look mean, mad and bad
for no reason and write bonehead
lyrics, they're music warrants some
smidgen of merit. Unlike their all-
too-blatant musical forefathers �
Lynyrd Skvnyrd, Molly Hatchet,
Blackfoot � Copperhead, on occa-
sion, can lock into a fine groove and
rock out, a la the likes of Drivin' N'
Cryin' and Guns N" Roses. (Maybe
they should change their name to
Copper 1T Head.)
All five band members sing,
though mosttuneshave Neil Carswell
at the helm, belting out vocals with a
scratchy, though versatile and some-
times powerful, voice. Carswell plays
guitar,asdoesJonByrd. Bassist Tony
Hawkins and drummer Eric
Suttlemyre round out a rather flat
rhythm section. Theoxymoronic or-
ganistpianist in Copperhead, Brad
Durden, poses a dilemma for this
critic's review: the keyboards in
Copperhead's musicrank just as high
on the annoyance scale as they do on
the necessary scale.
Without Durden and his cheesy
blips and pstudo anthemic
dawdlings,therewould beabsolutely
nothing differentiating Copperhead
from any five long-haired, mean-
sneering, ex tra-rJght-jeans-espetialJy-

ing, brand XXX of comatose, South-
em-obsessed racket regurgitating,

About the record: 12 songs, av-
eraging about four minutes each,
not surprising song titles such as
"Highway "Whiskey "Hard

Student Union searching for new president
By Warren Sumner
Staff Writer
The ECU Student Union, one
primary connection between the
University and the student body,
is searching f r someone to serve
as their president.
When Deanna Price gradu-
a ted in December, an opening was
cleared for an enthusiastic stu-
dent to serve as heir to her throne.
Price said she had enjoyed her
term leading the Union and knew
the position would prove to be
rewarding to whoever was se-
lected by Union members.
"It's a wonderful leadership
opportunity Price said. "With
all the contacts I've made with
everyone involved in the Union
I've had the opportunity to work
with IFC, ABLE, the faculty, the
students; just about every group
on campus
Price said she felt her univer-
sity involvement, including past
involvement with the Student
Union, was a factor in her ap-
pointment as president, but is
quick to point out that experience
in the Union was not a require-
ment for the position.
Lynn Jobes, Assistant Pro-
gram Director for the Union,
agreed with Price on this matter.
"I wouldn't want someone
to be discouraged from applying
for the position just because they
weren't involved in the Student
Union. We have several faculty
and executive advisors to assist
the new president in his or her
duties
While experience is not a de-
termining factor in the Union's
search to fill this position, Jobes
said the organization does have a
few qualities in mind when
searching for their student leader.
She went on to say that it will take
a special kind of student to fill the
Union's needs.
"We need someone who is
enthusiastic about the position
and willing to take advice from
someone who's been there. Who-
ever inherits the position must be
able to handle responsibility
Jobes said.
According to Jobes, the
president's primary responsibili-
ties will in-
clude inter-
viewingappli-
cants to chair
t h e
University's
planning com-
mittees, work-
ing with the
next year's
budget, and
helping in the planning of Stu-
dent Union goals for the '9394
year.
Jobes said the president's
workload will consist of at least
20 hours a week, given the broad
'Whoever inherits
the position must
be able to handle
responsibility'
span of Student Union activities.
The Union requires potential
applicants to have at least a 2.5
grade point average and the ap-
pointed presi-
dent must stay
in school dur-
ing the sum-
mer.
The presi-
dent will re-
ceive a $200
monthly sti-
pend and the
University will
pay his or her summer school tu-
ition costs.
Interested applicants should
call contact Lynn Jobes in the
University Student Union office
at Mendenhall.

Madrigal dinner smashing success
By Karen Greenwell
Staff Writer
The 16th annual Madrigal Din-
ner, held in December, was a tre-
mendous success.
This event was co-sponsored
by the Department of University
Unions, Department of Dining Ser-
vices and the ECU School of Music.
These three powers combined ef-
forts to re-create an Elizabethan-style
feast mat any Lord or Lady would
have been proud to attend.
Everything about the annual
Madrigal dinner was magical and
left little to be desired: complete
with singers, musicians, dancers,
poets, jugglers, minstrelsand much
more.
The most recent dinner incor-
porated talents from the university
community in a marvelous comical
production of Pyramus & Thisbe:
Manny Amaro, David Bailey, David
Emmerling, Frank Salamon, Stuart
Secttor, Jeanie B. Tomkalski, and
Lucy Wright Surprisingly, with the
exception of Manny Amaro, the
entire cast had no previous acting
experience.
Always a favorite of the din-
ners is the music and dancing. The
Madrigal Singers preformed a vari-
ety of Christmas carols throughout
dinner and the trumpeters and harp-
sichordist helped transform the
room into a royal banquet hall.
There wasnever a dull moment.
The Lord and Lady, played by James
and FrandneRees,helped make the
evening run smoothly with amus-
ing comments and their friendly
manner.
An important aspect of the
Madrigal Dinner is, of course, the
food. The menu consisted of
Waldorf salad, prime rib, twice-
baked potatoes and a vegetable
medley. Desert was the excellent
finale to an exceptional meal: Baked
Alaska.
Thedinner wascatered by ARA
Services,combiningtheskillsofGlen
Hamlin, Executive Chef and Jean-
Paul Beaudreau, Executive Pastry
Chef.

Klee, Mike offer 70s retrospect show
By Rachel Parker
Staff Writer
"The Klee and Mike Show" appeared Friday, Jan.
8, at the Fizz.
The show is written and performed by two ECU
music department graduates. Klee Liles graduated
with a degree in music education with a concentration
in percussion in 1989. Mike Robertson also graduated
from the School of Music in 1992.
Liles and Robertson offer a show that one can
simply sit back and enjoy. They play a 70s retrospect
show and perform songs by artists such as James
Taylor, John Mellencamp, Billy Joel, Simon and
Garfunkel,and,of course, Jimmy Buffet. David Wilcox,
John Gorka, Shawn Colvin and Michael Hodges are
among the modern artists the duet performs.
"The Klee and Mike Show" has two goals. The first
is to present cover tunes as close to the original as
possible. The second goal is to introduce new music to
the audience.
Liles stresses the importance for everyone to hear
new bands and singers whether they play original
music or cover tunes. He went on to say mat all new
bands should be given a chance and local talent should
be supported.
Liles sings and plays the acoustic guitar while
Robertson backs him up with various toys, including a
mark tree, which isaninstrumentthatsoundslike wind
chimes. Congo drums, bongo drums, an afuche, a
triangle andatambourinearealsoamong the toys in his
not-so-little bag o' tricks.
Liles started out playing bass guitar in high school.
Through experience with various bands,his guitar-playing
talent improved
Robertson is a natural in the percussion section. In
addition to "The Klee and Mike Show Robertson plays
with Panama Steel which poses the only conflict in sched-
ules for the duo.
Li les and Robertson met in the spring of 1989 when
they both played in the percussion line for ECU'S
Marching Pirates. The two have played various clubs
inGreenville,Raleigh,Wilmington,and Atlantic Beach.
Liles has performed alone in Boone, N.C. and Lexing-
ton, Ky where he currently resides.
Although individually both are outstanding art-
ists, each gives the other what he needs to be truly great.
Liles' stage presence presents him as if he were bom to
sing.
Yet, if performing alone, he would join the masses
in performing solo with only his guitar as accompani-
ment. Robertson gives Liles the sound effects needed to
incorporate a Latin flavor into their show. Robertson
also adds Caribbean flavor to songs by Jimmy Buffet.
'Tobe a well established studio musician in Nash-
ville or wherever it takes me is Liles's goal for his
music. When asked if the two plan to remain together
the answer was yes, as longas they possibly could. They
hope to be in Nashville within six to eight months.
Why do they name their performance "The Klee
and Mike Show rather than come up with a typical
band name? They are a show. They incorporate com-
edy, music and sound effects into a wonderful show-
that is not only appealing to listen to but visually
exciting as well.
For the parrot heads (Jimmy Buffet fans) Liles and
Robertson have invented a fin dance. This is a dance
only to be danced when "Fins"
by Jimmy Buffet is played. This
dance should only be danced at
The Klee and Mike Show" and
should not be tried at home. The
duo also has a new and quite
interesting version of Don
McLean's "American Pie
Periodically, throughout the
show they have "shots for the
band " episodes, which is a soda 1
drink in which everyone must
participate.
They also play requests if they
arefamiliarwith thesong. They do
it all: singing, dancing, comedy
and drinking,allinthenameof
good fun.
If you have not yet experi-
enced "The Klee and Mike Show they will play at
Staccatos, Feb. 19 and 20. Don't miss out

consider how many other Stephen
King stories have been made into
films. Most every other one has been
rruserablyineffecti'e.Reinerhasmade
two King tales into films and they
rank as the two best adaptations of
King's work.
A Few Good Men adds further
credibility to Reiner's immense talent
as a story teller.
A Fezv Good Men tells the story of
two marines (Wolfgang Bodison �
in a remarkable film debut that is
worthy of Oscar consideration�and
James Marshall) accused of killing
another marine in their company at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The defendants are represented
in a Washington, D.C court martial
by a young Navy lawyer named
Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise). Kaffee is
helped by a lawyer
working for Inter-
nal Affairs (Demi
Moore)andafhend
of Kaffee's (Kevin
Pollack).
Thecaseforthe
government is
handled by an able
prosecuting Ma-
rine attorney
(Kevin Bacon). Kaffeegetswary
early on when the prosecuting attor-
ney seems only too eager to see that
the case never gets to court
One of the conflicts that arises is
from the colonel of the Guantanamo
Bay base (Jack Nicholson)who seems
to be hiding something.
The last half of the film occurs
primarily in thecourt room where the
tension builds to a shattering climax.
One of the most refreshing parts
of this story is that Cruise's character
never fallsin love with Demi Moore's.
The lawyers respect each other as
professionals withoutwanting to fall
into bed together. No hot romance
occurs, no silly games are played:
these two characters work on a case
together as people.
This leaves room to develop the
complexitiesof the plot. The pacing in
the unraveling of the story is perfect.
Although there are some intricacies,
the audience is allowed to under-
stand them.
Another remarka ble facet of this
film , which can probably be attrib-
uted as much to Aaron Sorkin (who
wrote the screenplay based on his
play) as to Reiner, is that every char-
acter interests the viewer. There are
really no clear cut villains or heroes
(although Cruise's character comes
close to the latter).
The story is more about honor
and morals than about a crime. The
finalewill probably leave many view-
ers wondering what crimes actually
were perpetrated and by whom.
This story works on many levels,
but most notably as first-rate enter-
tainment.
Never in the film's two-and-a-
half hours will the viewer be bored.
Boredom is impossible in a film this
perfectly paced.
One of the
other reasons this
film soars into the
cinematic strato-
sphere is that the
, performances are
but mOSt nOtably all powerhouses
Cruise is dyna-
This story works
on many levels
liams' inspiring antics flow into the
animation as well. This is simply a
beautiful film.
The Arabic locale, the seemless
flow in the magiccarpet Aladd in find s
and the rides the carpet gives him are
marvelsof motion. A scene involving
aride-for-your-life escape fromdeath
early in the film is a rollercoaster jour-
ney through computer-aided anima-
tion.
And lest you fear Aladdin to be
too heartwarming, you will be sur-
prised by the adventure. Not since
Raiders of the Lost Ark has a desert
locale been soexcitingand involving.
But, don't worry about scaring
your little brother or niece when you
take them along. The scenes of tur-
moil are helped along by sudden,
humorous pratfalls mat break up pv
tentially fearful moments.
Finally, there is the music. Upon

Racism rears its head in sports again
Associated Press
(AP) � Leaders of civil rights
groups and the players' associa-
tions of the three major sports
joined together Friday to form an
organization to press for the inte-
gration of team front offices.
The groups, spurred by al-
leged racial remarks attributed to
Cincinnati Reds owner Marge
Schott, said they would call for
teams to consider at least one mi-
nority for each future front-office
opening. They put off a decision
about picketing and boycotting
games but called for current
sports executives to undergo sen-
sitivity training.
Film director Spike Lee
pointed out why many athletes
have not spoken out against rac-
ism in sports.
'Today's African-American
athlete is not going to jeopardize
their contract, not going to jeop-
ardize their sponsorship of
sneaker deals by sticking his neck
out Lee said. "Who's going to
stand up and say something that
thev'regoing to lose millionsand
millions of dollars?"
The Rev. Joseph Lowery,
president of the Southern Chris-
tian Leadership Conference, was
the most forceful speaker during
the 3 1 2-hour meeting.
"I think this is the most sig-
nificant event in racism in sports
in my lifetime he said.
Lowery drafted a statement
against the remarks attributed to
Schott, a statement endorsed by
Benjamin L. Hooks, executive di-
rector of the National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Col-
ored People, and John E. Jacob,
president of the National Urban
League. Also joining the state-
ment were Donald Fehr, execu-
tive director of the Major League
Baseball Players Association;
Charles Grantham, executive di-
rector of the National Basketball
Players Association; Clark
Gaines, a regional director of the
NFL Players Association; and
Reggie Williams, who works for
the NFL.
"This body here assembled
joins with citizens around the na-
tion in expressing outrage and
pain at statements and behavior
attributed to Marge Schott, owner
of the Cincinnati Reds the
group said. "Such statementsand
behavior have no place in the
sports world and indeed in the
nation.
Committed to racial justice,
fairness and equality and to the
dignity of every individual, we
urge and expect the owners to
take meaningful and appropri-
ate disciplinary action for justice
delayed is justice denied.
"This unfortunate incident
provides an opportunity for the
owners to not only condemn ra-
cial slurs, but recognize that the
failure of baseball and all sports
to include African-Americans,
Hispanics and other minorities
at every level of the industry �
general management, entrepre-
neurial, professional, etc. � con-
stitute racial slurs.
"We hope that action taken
will precipitate immediateefforts
to remedy inequalities so that
baseball at every level will reflect
thediversity on the playing field
and in thenation. Failuretodoso
will be the biggest racial slur of
all
Isiah Thomas of the Detroit
Pistons joined in by telephone.
Fat Lever of the Dallas Mavericks
attended the meeting, as did
former NBA player Alex English
and former major league baseball
player Tony Bernazard.
Fehr said that the players as-
sociations had difficulty making
racial equality a top issue because
of their roles in collective bar-
gaining.
"To suggest they're all-con-
suming is understating thecase
Fehr said.
He also said the high wages
of professional athletes prevented
players from receiving sympa-
thetic treatement.
"No one will identify a base-
ball player, or should they, as a
victim he said.
Fehr went on to criticize the
delay on dealing with Schott, ac-
cusing owners of "poorly func-
tioning institutions at this mo-
ment
Grantham was harsher, say-
ing: "It only suggests the inept
management of the leagues that
has allowed so much time to
pass
Lowery called the delay
"shameful bahavior on the part
of baseball
Deputy commissioner Steve
Greenberg said later that "it
would not be appropriate for me
to comment or for anyone from
major leaguebaseball to comment
as long as the current investiga-
tion is pending'Grantham said
the sports unions owed the civil
rights leaders "a tremendous
debt" for joining their cause.
"Write a check Lowery
joked.
"A moral debt Grantham
said.
Pirates fall short
against Appalachain St
By Warren Sumner
Assistant Sports Editor
The ECU Pirates travelled to Varsity
Gym in Boone, N.C. on Jan. 4 to meet the
Appalachian St. Mountaineers. The Pi-
rates, looking for a win on the road, were
denied, continuing an unfortunate trend
of losing close games. The Pirates fell 76-
74 after falling short in a comeback at-
tempt in the waning seconds of thegame.
The Pirates started to pull away from
the Mountaineers in the first half as a
technical foul provided the Pirates the
opportunity to take an eight point lead
midway through the first half.
But Pirate fouls allowed ASU back
into the contest as they relied on inside
shooting by guard Ricky Nedd and for-
ward Joe Sabato to bring them ahead or
ECU. A Tremayne Rooks 19-ft jumper in
the final second of the half extended the
ASU lead to five.
ASU fired once again at the start of
the second half extending their lead to
14. The Pirates shooting atrociously from
the free throw line, battled back, led by
the perimeter shooting of Ronnell
Peterson.
The inside shooting of Curley Young
Brought the Pirates within two, but they
could not overcome the perimeter shoot-
ing of Billy Ross. The Pirates fell just
short, losing yet another close game. The
Pirate record now stands at 4-5.

A Payneful trip: The ECU men's basketball team came to the end of an
eight-game road trip last night against the Richmond Spiders.
(AP) � Chuck Kornegay and DonnieSeale
should learn early next week whether they can
return to the North Carolina State basketball
team, coach Les Robinson said.
The school announced Thursday that
Kornegay, a 6-foot-8 freshman, and Seale, a 6-
5 senior, had been declared academically ineli-
gible for the second semester. Senior Jamie
Knox also is ineligible, and his care at NCSU
has ended.
Kornegay and Seale are appealing their
suspensions, and the appeals process should
be completed next week. Laws protecting stu-
dents' academic records prohibit Robinson
fror. discussing the specifics of their situa-
tions. But Seale said Friday he was confident
he could rejoin the team, saying he had fin-
ished work in an incomplete course from the
fall semester.
"The thing that bothers me is that people
will see the headlineThree State players ineli-
gible' and their first thought will be that we
have renegades here who don't go to school
Robinson said.
"But we're solid. Our GPAs have risen
every semester. Unfortunately, that's not the
perception people will get from this
Freshman athletes at NCSU must have at
least a 1.5 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale
after their first semester in school to compete
in the spring semester.

were giving them. Kareem Richardson, a
freshman Pirate guard, provided a much
needed defensive spark when he converted
two steals intoPirate layups with five minutes
to play. The Pirates, driven by a newfound
intensity, continued to battle until finally, with
209 left in the game, a Lester Lyons three-
pointer gave the Pirates a one-point lead. A

ga meat 58 and eventually sent the antest into
overtime. In the extra pt'ricxl, a determined

while the Pirates gained 17 with its motion

Lyons' layup with 5 seconds remaining in
i rvertime sealed a hard-fought comeback vk-
torvand improved the Pirate record to 4-1.
The Pirates met Virginia Tech in
Blacksburg on Jan. 2 and, despite keep-
ing the game close throughout the first
half and leading a great deal of the
second half, the Pirates fell in over-
time 76-67.
Ronnell Peterson led the Pirates
with 18, followed by the inside pro-
duction of center Ike Copeland with
14.
The Pirates quickly found them-
selves chasing a Hokie lead. The short
range jump shooting of Damon
Watlington and Jay Purcell held the
Pirates at bay for much of the first
half.
A Pirate resurgance led by the Pi-
rates' guards, Ronnell Peterson and
Lester Lyons, brought the Pirates
within one the end of the first half. A
31-30 halftime margin gave the Pirates
hope for the rest of the contest.
The Hokies, led by forward Jay
Purcell, tried to surge at the opening
of the second half, but Lester Lyons
would not cooperate, with two steals,
and five quick points.
The Pirates maintained their nar-
row margin until a Hokie technical
foul allowed them to extend it to five
with 13 minutes remaining in regula-
tion.
The Hokies battled back, with ac-
curate shooting off of Pirate fouls.
Eventually the Hokies brought the
contest within one, and with :41 sec-
onds remaining, Purcell hit one of two
from the line to tie the contest at 60
eventually sending it to overtime.
In the extra period, the Tirates
commited many costly fouls that sent
the Hokies to the line.
Combined with field goals from
guard Jim Jackson the free throw ac-
curacy of the Hokies proved to be the
difference in the contest as they wid-
ened the Pirates' road slump and
handed them another road defeat.

Steelers unable to pay Bills; offense shut down
Associated Press
(AP) � Frank Reich is the king
of the comebacks � and he also
showed he's a pretty good quarter-
back with a lead, too.
The Buffalo Bills needed no
magic, nocomebackof a lifetime, no
miracles from Reich to beat rhePitts-
burghSteelers24-3 in the AFC play-
offs Saturday. His two touchdown
passes and adept use of his receiv-
ers and the dock in the second half
were good enough.
Reich, filling in again for in-
jured Jim Kelly, threw a 1 -yard scor-
ing pass to Mitch Frerotte on a line-
man-eligible play �Frerotte's third
touchdown reception thisseason�
and a 19-yarder to James Lofton in
the third quarter as the Bills ad-
vanced to the AFC championship
game for the third straight year.
The Bills are the first team since
thel972-760akland Raiders to reach
the AFC title game at least three
successive vears. By winningin Pitts-
burgh before the biggest crowd in
Steelers' history, they became the
first wild-card team to win a divi-
sional playoff game since the NFL
adopted its current playoff format
three years ago.
Of course, this Bills team is
quickly becoming known for the
historic.
The Bills rallied from 32 points
down � the greatest comeback in
NFL history � to beat Houston 41-
38 in overtime last Sunday, but they
had to come back from only three
points down this time.
That was easy for Reich.
The Steelers, in their first play-
off game in exactly 10 years, treated
the60,407towel-twirling fans toa3-
0 lead on Gary Anderson's 38-yard
field goal in the first quarter. The
Steelers proved no better in holding
a small lead than the Oilers did in
maintaining a huge one.
TheSteelerslooked rusty,espe-
cially quarterback Neil O'Donnell.
He was making his first start in
more than a month due to a broken
right shinbone and he looked it,
throwingtwo interceptions and los-
inga fumblethatled to the first Bills
touchdown.
Defensive end Phil Hansen re-
covered O'Donnell's fumble at the
Bills' 41 with 6:27 remaining in the
first half, and Reich put them in the
end zone nine plays later.
Thurman Thomas gained 11
yards on third-and-1 from the 50,
Kenneth Davis gained 14 to the 19
and Reich hi t Don Beebe for 19 to the
1. Frerotte, lined up on the left side
of theline, popped up free in the end
zone to grab Reich's short flip, his
second TDcatchagainst the Steelers
thisseason. Healsocaughta 1-yarder

By Warren Sumner
Assistant Sports Editor
The 1-0 ECU Pirate basketball
team squared off Dec. 8 against a
UNC-Charlotte squad that could
prove to be one of their toughest
opponents. After a hard-fought war
that saw them lead by as much as
eight, the Pirates could not stop a
Charlotte second half comeback and
fell to the 49ers 62-59.
The Pirates started the game
strong, pulling away from the 49ers
five minutes into the contest. Pirate
guard Lester Lyons played with his
usual ferocity, racking up 16firsthalf
points. Bershuan Thompson, a na-
tive of nearby Grimesland, N.C. led
the 49er scoring in the first half with
nine points.
With hard-nosed play on de-
fense,and the tremendous scoringof
Lyons, the underdog ECU team hit
the locker room a l halftime nursing a
three-point lead. Unfortunately for
the Pirates,their lead would not last.
The visiting squad from Char-
lotte battled with the Pirates for 14
minutes in the second half before
finally gaining the advantage in the
game. The Pirates could not stop the
inside rampageof 49er center Rodney
Odum, who scored ten points in the
second half, and plagued the Pirates
with fouls. The 49ers also defensed
Lyons much better than in the first
half, holding the Pirate star to just six
points.
The Pirates fell behind by six
points with 1:06 remaining, but
battled back with the help of poor
49er shooting from the line and pe-
rimeter shots by Anton Gill. The Pi-
rates kept hope alive until Lyons
was whistled for an intentional foul
with only seconds remaining. The
subsequent 49er possession iced a
heartbreaking defeat for the Pirates
as time expired on their chance for
an upset.

Fishermen fear Coast Guard
Associated Press
HARKERS ISLAND, N.C.
(AP) � Fishermen say the U.S.
Coast Guard, which they once
regarded as their prosecutor, has
turned into their persecutor.
As the Coast Guard polices
the waves with a lengthening list
of lawson what fish can be caught
and how boats should be
equipped, they are known more
for handing out tickets than tow
lines.
" Used to be you were glad to
see them said Weldon Davis, a
Carteret County fisherman.
"Now you're scared to see them.
That's the way it'sgotten. There's
so many rules and regulations,
they're going to find something
wrong
So pro-
nounced has the
animosity becorre
in recent months
that U.S. Rep.
Martin Lancaster
arranged a sort of
summit meeting
of commercial
fishermen and the
Coast Guard last
week at Harkers Island. About
100 fishermen came Wednesday
night to talk with the commander
of the Coast Guard's Fifth Dis-
trict that includes North Caro-
lina.
Their gripes were many and
wide-ranging, The News & Ob-
server of Raleigh reported. They
resent the boardings in which
armed Coast Guard patrols look
for everything from illegal drugs
to undersized fish, and check for
contraptions to save sea turtles
from fishing nets.
They chafe that the budget-
minded Coast Guard no longer
comes to the aid of every stranded
vessel, but instead calls commer-
cial tow services if the situation is
not life-threatening.
And they object to new Coast
Guard requirements for expen-
sive safety equipment that can
cost some boat owners several
thousand dollars a year.
It was those safety rules that
largely prompted the Harkers Is-
land gathering.
Milton Styron of Davis has
been fishing for 56 of his 68 years.
He complaned that men like him
used to make their way on the
water with only a compass and
experience to protect them. Now,
boats must carry many costly de-
vices if they venture into the At-
lantic.
"I can't afford to go offshore
this year Styron said. "I can't
afford the equipment
Fishermen said at the meet-
ing that theirs is a precarious way
to make a living anyway. They
operate on small
budgets, and
shrinking profits
as fish become
scarce or off lim-
its due to the Na-
tional Marine
Fisheries Service
conservation
regulation that
the Coast Guard
enforces.
They said the added costs of
new safety equipment or penal-
ties for not having it will drive
many into the red.
"We feel like we're being
regulated out of business said
Rodney Cahoon of South River.
Rear Adm. Ted Leland, com-
mander of the Fifth District, lis-
tened to the complaints. But he
did not promise any lessening in
safety requirements.
"Going to sea is a dangerous
business he said. "It'smoredan-
gerous than coal mining
Every year on the East Coast
between New Jersey and North
Carolina, he said, at least eight
people die and 133 are badly in-
jured on commercial fishing ves-
sels.

of South River
Fishermen argue their num-
bers have greatly diminished in
recent years because it's so hard
to make a profit. Leland, how-
ever, said the new safety rules
were developed because there are
more fishermen than ever before.
Foreign fishing vessels essen-
tially were banned from U.S.
shores in 1976. Since then, Leland
said, the number of U.S. fishing
boats has more than tripled. The
fleet stands at 130,000 nationwide.
Many of those are crewed by
strangers to thewaterand itsdan-
gers, making them likely to get
into trouble, Leland said.
"As this industry mush-
roomed, it stopped being a fa-
ther-to-son business Leland
said. "The history of the Coast
Guard has been to help pick up
the pieces, but now our job is more
focused on making the industry
safer
A fishing boat equipped with
safety mechanisms such as locater
devices saves lives�and money,
Leland said. AC-130search plane
flying out of the Coast Guard's
Elizabeth City base costs $2,100
an hour.
Only about half the commer-
cial fishing vessels on the water
comply with the safety regula-
tions, according to Coast Guard
statistics. Most of those found in
violation never get fined if they
agree to fix the problem.
