Student forced to leave dorm room by Resident Education
By Karen Hassell
Assistant News Fditor
Stacey Staton had a lot of prob-
lems getting a dorm room this semes-
ter.
On Jan. 13, she turned in her hous-
ing contract and was assigned a room
in Slay Hall with Marenda Taylor.
"That's when I went and met
Marenda Staton said. "I was going to
be nice, you know, to let her know I
was coming.
"That night, the 13th, she called
me and she said 'Well Stacey I didn't
tell you this earlier but I've got a prob-
lem I said what's your problem. She
said 'Well, I'm allergic to the chemicals
in black people's hair
According to Staton who is black,
Taylor requested that Staton find an-
other room. Staton, who holds two jobs
along with being a student, told Taylor
she did not have the time to go through
the process of finding another room
and she must move in the next day.
"Then she called me on the 14th,
somewhere around
four Staton said. "I
was moving in about
4:30 because I had to be
a work at five. I was on
my way to get things
prepared to move on
over when she called
me and said, T got a
doctor's note and I
went to housing and
they said they can give
you a vacant room
"I said a vacant
room sounds good, but
I can't afford to go
through all of this
again. I really have to
come on and move in today. She said
'Can you call housing?' I told Marenda
I really didn't have time for all that so
Stacy Staton
we went back and forth a little bit
Later, the coord inator of Slay Hall,
Linda Sessoms, called Staton and told
her they had a list of
names of people that did
not yet have a roommate
which she could contact
to find a room. Staton
stressed that with her
schedule, she did not
have time for that, but
needed a place to stay
right away.
Staton said Sessoms
explained that Taylor
had a doctor's note and
had made the room pri-
vate. Staton also said that
it was her understand-
ing that private requests
could not be granted un-
til Jan.22.
Staton said she inquired how they
could kick her out of her room and was
told that technically she was not being
kicked out because she did not have
keys and was not registered. However,
Staton said she did have her keys and
was registered.
Staton received a vacant room on
Jan. 16 and Taylor was left in her room
which was converted to a private room.
"They (housing) did not offer me
a private room Staton said. "They
didn't call and apologize or anything.
All they did was kick me out. And, they
gave me a vacant room at my own
request. I do not blame Marenda or
Linda, the coordinator, 1 blame hous-
ing. I believe they should have had
adequate records to know that I was in
that room already and that they should
not have been able to just kick me out
like that
Emanuelle Amaro, assistant Vice
Chancellor and Director of Housing,
said that the department of resident
education is in charge of handling situ-
ations such as this.
"They have counselors to deal
with these issues Amaro said.
"We have to consider, are we do-
ing the best thing for her by putting her
in a situation that she is going to be
hated?" Amaro said. "It's really ter-
rible. I hope, and I don't know that this
is the case, but hopefully the white
student received some counseling on
this.
"I belive a compromise was
worked out. We charged the white stu-
dent for a private room and gave the
black student a vacant room
The charge for the vacant room is
the same as one with a roommate.
"My gut feeling is that it was a
racial issue, but the girl did have a
doctor's note Sessoms said.
Janet Johnson, coordinator of resi-
dent education, could not be reached
for comment. Taylor would not com-
ment on the situation.

Jackson' revived by maritime department's computers
By Joe Horst
Staff Writer
ECU's maritime history and un-
derwater Archaeology department is
resurrecting history with their computer
simulation of the Confederate ironclad,
"C.S.S. Jackson
The "Jackson" was raised from the
Chattahoochee River 30 years ago. Cur-
rently, the ship's planks and ribs are
being displayed at the Confederate Na-
val Museum in Columbus, Ga.
"The Museum is interested for a
couple of reasons said Gordon Watts,
professor for the maritime department.
"The first reason is they're hoping to
move the remains from its present lo-
cation to a better museum complex.
They're worried that, in the move,
there's going to be some destruction of
the surviving structure.
"The other thing is they want to be
able to reconstruct some portions of the
vessel that are no longer there. This will
make it more comprehensible to the pub-
lic
Recently, the department bought
two Gateway 2000 38633 computers
equipped with GETCO digitizing tab-
lets. These computers are connected to a
high speed Hewlett Packard Drum plot-
ter. Software, called AutoCAD Version
II, for the computers has been donated
by Autodesk.

To gather the in-

Instructor dismissed over complaint
A business law instructor at Northern Michigan University
was asked not to teach the winter semester after a student
complained that he let his class out early. Willard Martin, who
taught a class scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m usually
finished presenting his material by 8 p.m. and dismissed the
students. A student filed a complaint to the Management and
Marketing Department, The North Wind reported. "There are
many times when the class time is longer than the material needs
to be taught Martin told the campus newspaper. A petition to
support Martin was signed by 90 percent of his class and given to
the administration, but the firing was upheld. Officials wouldn't
comment, the paper reported.
College says delayed rush a success
Delaying fraternity and sorority rush until the sophomore
year literally saved the Greek system at Bucknell University, Pa.
officials say. The Greek systemhas been on campus since the mid-
19th century, but came under fire in recent years. In 1989, the
Bucknell faculty voted to rid the campus of Greeks, charging that
the university academic mission "Was obstructed and thwarted
by the Greek system Under the restructured system, fraternity
men will live in the fraternity houses only their junior and senior
years. Sophomores will live in residence halls or off campus.
Sorority women will live in sorority suites in a residence hall their
junior year, then will have the option to live off campus their
senior year. Officials say the delayed rush has put juniors and
seniors in charge of the fraternity houses, which has resulted in
less abuse of house rules and cleaner houses.
Daily Tar Heel wins four NCPA awards
The Daily Tar Heel won four North Carolina Press Associa-
tion awards in 1992, including its first-ever first place honor. The
awards, as part of the NCPA's Winter Institute honor members of
the statewide press association for excellence in a variety of
categories. The DTH tied itself for first place in spot news report-
ing. The assistant sports editor won a second-place award for
sports reporting for an article published last spring focusing on
the disparate amount of funding given to the Softball team. And,
a former editorial board member won a third-place award for an
editorial published in 1992 about Ross Perot. The DTH, one of
about 70 daily newspapers to submit entries in the 15,000 to
34,999 circulation category, is the onlv campus paper in the

Zoo sex tours: offered to adults only
UNITY
Continued from pagel
BOSTON (AP)�Three zoos
are giving lovers the chance to
study monkey business with the
pros this Valentine's Day week-
end.
The Boston, San Francisco
and Brookfield, 111 zoos plan
adults-only lectures, tours and vid-
eotape shows about sex in the ani-
mal kingdom.
The message: There are par-
allels between animal and human
sexual behavior.
For example, the male dance
fly gives the female food in return
for mating privileges. The bigger
the gift, the longer she will copu-
late with him.
"It's kind of like the differ-
ence between dinner at the Ritz
and takeout from KFC said Ed
Marshall, spokesman for Boston's
Franklin Park Zoo.
"We've been wanting to do
this and we were trying to decide
where it would fit in, and some-
body suggested Valentine's Day
Marshall said. "You could come to
this thing at 6 or 8 and then go out
for dinner and you'd have some-
thing to talk about sex
The Brookfield Zoo near Chi-
cago plans a similar Weekend for
Lovers starting Friday with a lec-
ture on the sex lives of plants and
animals, followed by a wine-and-
cheese reception. The San Fran-
cisco Zoo's third annual Sex Tour
is scheduled for Saturday and Sun-
day and is preceded by a cham-
pagne breakfast.
"Sex sells said JaneTollini,
a penguin keeper who luns the
touratSanFrancisco'szoo. "People
learn something a little different,
something a little kinky. There's a
lot of curiosity
Besides, she said, "There's
nothing much happening at the
zoo in the late winter. This is a
great time to arouse some interest,
so to speak
Such events also allow zoos
to attract adults instead of mostly
children.
"It's a different audience,
people that for one reason or an-
other may notthinkaboutthe zoo
said Nancy Hotchkiss, education
director at the American Associa-
tion of Zoological Parks. "We will
get that message to them any way
we can
Among other facts one can
learn this weekend:
� Foreplay for rhinoceroses
lasts more than a month.
� A male lion may mate as
many as 50 times in one 24-hour
period, while koalas do it for about
40 seconds just three times a year.
� Male snakes have two sex
organs, giving them a better chance
to mate successfully when they
intertwine with the female.
� It is the male sea horse
that gets pregnant.
�The male black-and-white
casked hornbill seals his mate into
a nest so she can't fly away.
� Orangutans can have sex

to try this stuff at home Tollini

NBC apologizes for 'inappropriate' GM truck smash up
NEW YORK (AP) � NBC
settled a General Motors Corp. defa-
mation lawsuit with an on-air apol-
ogy for a fiery crash demonstration,
confessing that rigging the pickup
truck with incendiary devices was a
"bad idea from start to finish
"Dateline NBC" anchors Jane
Pauley and Stone Phillips closed
Tuesday's show with a summary of
NBC's errors and declared the dem-
onstration "was inappropriate and
does not support the position that
GM CK trucks are defective
"We apologize to our viewers
and to General Motors Philu1 s
said. "We have also concluded thai
unscientific demonstrations should
haveno place in hard news stories at
NBC. That's our new policy
In a statement, GM lawyer
Harry Pearce said NBC had also
agreed to pay for the costs of the
automaker's investigation.
GM had sued for unspecified
damages Monday over a "Dateline
NBC" reportaired in November that
alleged mat older GM pickups with
"sidesaddle" tanks mounted out-
side the frame are prone to rupture
and catch fire in a sideways crash.
Lastweek, an Atlanta jury held
GM negligent in the design of the
gas tanks and ordered GM to pay
$105.2 million to the parents of a
teen-ager killed in a fiery crash. GM
insists the design is safe.
"Dateline NBC" correspon-
dent Michelle Gillen's 15-minute
report showed what NBC said was
about a 40 mph crash in which there
was no fire. Then, in what was re-
ported as a crash of about 30 mph,
the truck ignited in a fireball.
GM alleged, and NBC admit-
ted two days ago, that tiny toy-rocket
motors placed underneath the sec-
ond truck were triggered by remote
control during the crash � some-
thing NBC did not disclose to view-
ers of the demonstration.
NBC said earlier this week that
the motors were put there to ensure
there would be a fire if the gas tank
ruptured. NBC said it didn't tell
viewers because its experts con-
cluded a broken headlight actually
started the fire.
Buton Tuesday night's broad-
cast, Pauley said: "We agree with
GM that we should have told our
viewers about these devices. We
acknowledge the placing of the in-
cendiary devices under the truck
was a bad idea from start to finish
Phillips also said NBC did not
dispute the automaker's claims that
the truck that caught fire had an
overfilled tank and the wrong type
of gas cap, which popped off in the
crash
"Therefore, this unscientific
demonstration was not representa-
tive of an actual side-impact colli-
sion Phillips said.
GM's Pearce said the
automaker would dismiss the law-
suit today.
"With this matter behind us,
we trust that the safety record of our
1973-87 full-size pickup trucks will
befairly and objectively examined
he said. "We're confident our posi-
tion that these vehicles are safe will
be upheld
As part of the settlement, GM
also agreed to drop its separate law-
suit against Gaithersburg, Md
based Institute for Safety Analysis,
which staged the crash, said Bruce
Enz, who heads the institute's In-
dianapolis office.
NBC had come under firefrom
media watchers for the "Dateline
NBC" report
"I think any kind of enhance-
ment of a test, of an event, shouldn't
bedoneinthefirstplace'said Steve
Powers,co-authorof"HowtoWatch
TV News" and a longtime TV news-
man. "The camera can lie and the
viewer should be warned when
there is a manipulation of the im-
age

SG A not Machine, has student interests
Recently, the University of Alabama's
administration shut down the student gov-
ernment because of a report that a candidate
for student president had been assaulted for
running against what is called "the Machine
The student claimed that a man came
into her apartment and assaulted her, saying
that she was allied with the wrong
people. Two months earlier, the stu
dent found a cross burning on her
front lawn and notes in her mail-
box with the phrase "Machine
rules
'The Machine" is a shad-
owy, behind-the-scenes collec-
tion of white fraternities and
sororities that back certain indi-
viduals for election into student
government. Most students who
run against Machine-backed can-
didates have lost the election, with
evidence being documented as far back
as the '30s.
Students are on both sides of the assault
issue. School President Roger Sayers stopped
short of blaming the Machine for the incidents
and the Machine-backed candidate is quoted
as feeling "really horrible the assault hap-
pened Also, previous Machine-supported
SGA officers have stated that they have no
doubt the incidents are Machine-related.
This example of university tyranny puts
ECU's Student Government Association in a
more realistic light. We can sit back and breathe
a collective sigh of relief that at least we're not
s bad as the University of Alabama. But that
doesn't mean that the SGA is at the other end
of the spectrum, either.
What ECU has is a group of students,
albeit small, who are dedicated to the benefit
of the school for the students. Each week,
these students do their best to fight the red
tape that hampers their efforts to
make this campus a better place
for all of us. Not only must
Cthey fight this ongoing bu-
Y reaucracy, but also the apa-
thy of some of the student
I I j body that they represent.
Apathy is what al-
y i lows groups like the Ma-
chine to grow and fester.
Since the 1930s, this group
has been allowed to influ-
ence and sway elections
through fear and intimidation.
Students and administrators knew
about the existence of this group; they just
chose to do nothing about it.
ECU's SGA may not be the best that a
collegiate system has ever seen. It has its pit-
falls just like any other student government.
But at least it's open to student input and
opinion. The average student does have a say
in what goes on at this campus. The question
remains though, do you care enough to take
the time to have that say?
If you don't, then maybe the Machine
isn't such a bad idea after all. Then again,
neither was Big Brother.

Hollywood reflects societal attitude to sex
As one of the movie re-
viewers for this fine publication,
I've noticed a trend in the last 10
years that has swept through
Hollywood like wildfire. In the
chic thrillers and suspense pic-
tures that have been released,
one dominant plotline has been
the easy-money racehorse that
has beaten Stephen King and
Tom Harris for chills and profit:
sex can kill ya
In the shadow of AIDS that
the media has eagerly cast on
America and consequently the
world, Hollywood has picked
up on and utilized the increas-
ingly-real threat of fatal affairs.
Cinematic sex has often
been used as a danger for pro-
tagonists. Adultery and rape
are no longer only hinted at with
innuendo or clever camera work
as was the case in early movies.
The big, bad atomic mutants
were infamous for preying on
the young and the nubile in the
'50s. Rare was the sci-fi poster
lacking a beast stalking half-
dressed women.
The '60s movies revolved
around the emerging sexual
revolution and the insecurity of
youth, such as The Graduate or
the various Tennessee Williams
adaptations. The '70s gave us
the slasher genre wherein Jason
or Michael would kill some teen-
agers that had sneaked off for a
quickie.
The incurable epidemic of
the '80s brought to light the
multi-faceted pitfalls incurred
with random or illicit sex. It also
boosted the appeal of old-fash-
ioned love stories where boy
meets girl; not boy meets girl,
boy meets other girl, and boy
meets the Barbie twins.
The first movie to reintro-
duce monogamy as a sound
ideal was Fatal Attraction, in
1985. Michael Douglas found
himself hounded by the woman
he had an affair with. Glenn
Close was determined to "not
be ignored" because she was
inconvenient to his marriage. In
case you forgot, the talk shows
(the medium that permeate ev-
ery available audio visual fre-
quency transmitted today) cut
their teeth on the "fatal attrac-
tion syndrome" for nearly two
years.
Attraction set the plotline
so common today in which the
femme fatale is elevated to an
even-deadlier status of sex-
killer. Not only will the suspi-
cious lady that you love to hate,
and hate to love, break your
heart, but the temptation to bed
her can literally get you killed.
This wasn't a true novelty,
but before it was the gangster
she was with or the husband she
wed who threatened the hero.
Now, it's the woman. No longer
helpless or vulnerable to the
protagonist's whims, she
wouldn't merely fall in love with
the persuasive Don Juan. She
could possibly kill him for his
impudence.
The massive success of Fa-
tal Attraction made the sex-killer
a potent profit-maker. Theresa
Russell in Black Widow
reawakened the character that
kills her husband after marriage
in order to collect insurance
money (much like Madonna in
Body of Evidence). Scandalous re-
lived the true story of a sex scan-
dal involving Parliament mem-
bers abolished from their posts
for hiring prostitutes (similar to
the recent Damage with Jeremy
Irons in which a successful poli-
tician loses all for his affair with
his son's fiance).
However, the recent Basic
Instinct directly confronted the
wariness with which lovers
should be armed. Granted, not
everyone falls for a libidinous
novelist accused of murdering
for money. But the point is that
many men, and women, (as the
movie suggests) would want to
roll in the hay with someone
like Catherine and may not rec-
ognize the obvious danger they
place themselves in. A transpar-
ent allegory of AIDS? You bet
your sweet bippy.
As is Bram Stoker's Dracula.
The plot line involves Lucy
slowly manifesting physiologi-
cal transformations due to blood
transference. Mina also risks
exposing herself to the same fate
for love. Obvious.
It's refreshing to realize
that Hollywood isawareof how
society is worried by the threat
of a disease most commonly
transmitted through sex. Of
course, a profit is made off of
this concern and maybe that's
not such a bad thing. If Holly-
wood continues to make mov-
ies in which characters deter-
mine monogamy, responsibility
and loyalty make for health and
happiness, perhaps audiences
will get the point also. A little
consideration on such topics is
time well-spent and possibly
life-saving.

FREEDOM'S CALL
By Jim Shamlin
Citizens only key to breaking oppression
Throughouthistory,thegov-
emment (along with the other
nebulous and often unnamed en-
tities that constitute the "estab-
lishment") has borne the brunt of
many attacks. Such a charge is a
convenient escape from personal
responsibility, nothing more. To
say that the government is solely
responsible for the oppression of
its citizens is like a murderer claim-
ing that it was the gun, not he, that
is responsible for the murder of
his victim. The government and a
gun are analogous � both are ef-
fective tools ei ther to protect one's
own rights or to violate the rights
of others. The resu 11 of their use or
abuse is attributable not to the
tool, but to the user.
To clarify this analogy for
smaller minds: The statement "a
government derives its powers
from the consent of those gov-
erned" is not an empty theory, but
inevitable truth. One of the dys-
functions of a democratic system
such as ours is the power it ex-
tends to the majority to oppress
the minority � in effect, democ-
racy engenders a government that
enforces mob rules. I f the majority
happens to be of one race, govern-
ment enforces their power to op-
press other races. If the majority
happens to be male, the govern-
ment enforces their power to op-
press a female minority. Thus, both
racism and sexism demonstrate
this inherent flaw in a "fair" sys-
tem.
It is not the intention of this
columnist to suggest that we in-
vert the balance entirely, giving
the minority power to oppress the
majority, as is the case in many
totalitarian states and other
militocracies. Oppression is op-
pression, no matter who holds the
gun. Democracy remains the only
system in which everyone ha s pro-
portionate representation. Itisone
of the few systems that has the
potential to promote fairness, but
only if its power is exercised with
the utmost discretion � discre-
tion equal to, if not greater than,
that which one uses when firing a
gun.
Any situation in which op-
pression occurs requires each side
to take an active role: the
oppressor's "right" to oppress
him, thereby assisting the oppres-
sor by accepting the status of a
victim. Since both must take an
active role, it is within the power
of either party to halt the oppres-
sion.
It is easier, by far, for the
oppressor to cease, as it is he who
is initiating the system of oppres-
sion. To use the example of master
and slave (the most obvious level
of oppression) it is easier for a
master to free his slave than for a
slave to become free of his master.
In terms of democracy, this means
that those who support any law
should consider its macrosocial
impact. Too many voters are con-
cerned only with their own ben-
efit, not with the fairness of a given
law,and somegroupsconsciously
seek to oppress others for their
own benefit. Through power-lust
and ignorance, American voters
have turned their government into
an extortion racket that robs Peter
to pay Paul � and as a result, it is
strongly supported by aspiring
Pauls.
The oppressor, however, has
little incentive todesist, especially
in a society in which integrity has
little value. The promise of some-
thing for nothing has a strong ap-
peal � too strong for many to
resist. Distressingly few people,
especially the mediocre, have the
integrity to decline an opportu-
nity to extort a living or to infringe
upon the rights of others for their
own benefit.
Incentive is far greater on
the part of the oppressed�but in
order to cease the oppression, the
victi m must rebel. Rebellious cases
in which a slave breaks free from
his master, can be difficult and
bloody. Thedifficulty and thedan-
ger, however, does not relieve the
victim of responsibility. Nazi ex-
ecutioners at the Nuremberg tri-
als often plead innocence, claim-
ing that they were just following
orders � disobedience or rebel-
lion would have put the execu-
tioners in danger. They were by
no means innocent. The same is
true for a policeman who, while
violating the rights of citizens,
claims that he is just doing his job,
and for anyone who obeys or acts
to aid the enforcement of a law to
which he morally objects.
When any incidence of op-
pression exists, it is never morally
justifiable to blindly follow orders
�it is imperative to question those
orders, to defy them, and, in ex-
treme cases, to rebel against the
establishment from which those
orders came. To refrain from do-
ing so is to grant sanction to the
oppressors; to acknowledge that
whatever they happen to be doing
is not only acceptable, but right.
The drug "war" is an ex-
ample of rebellion. While drugs,
as a commodity, are harmful, their
use is an inalienable right, a choice
on the part of citizens over which
thegovemmenthasno power. The
producers, in this case, are the ones
fighting to protect their right to
supply the consumers' demand.
Theinabilityof the government to
stop the flow of drugs�or of any
commodity it has declared illegal
� demonstrates that the laws are
not supported by citizens, hence
enforcement of these la ws is an act
of oppression.
Thus, government has no
power to establish laws over the
objection of its citizens � wide-
spread violation of arbitrary legis-
lation serves to demonstrate its
impotence. In such cases, govern-
ment may only act punitively
when it is able to apprehend a
transgressor. Just as oppression is
only possible by the acceptance of
its victims, so is governmental
power only effective with the sanc-
tion of its citizens. Rebellion is
possible in regard to any oppres-
sive law � it is not only possible,
but necessary.
While it remains true that
government is oppressive, wecan-
not demand, or expect, govern-
ment to initiate the changes that
are necessary because it is not
within the power of government
to change itself. Responsibility lies
in the hands of the citizens who
have created and continue to spon-
sor such oppression, whether by
active support or passive accep-
tance. Breaking the chains is the
firststepin regaining our freedom
�the second step, which requires
far more self-control, is refusing
to use the whip.

logon
By Dean Koontz
Putnam, 1993
(AP)�In Dragon Tears, author Dean Koontz takes readers on a
journey into the supernatural, where he suspends disbelief and
makes the implausible sound plausible.
Two Southern California detectives, Harry Lyon and Connie
Gulliver, work well together, but nothing in the police manual
prepares them for encounters with the "Ticktock Man He can stop
time, rearrange reality and assume different horrible forms.
A perfectionist, Lyon believes that by leading an orderly life he
can control the chaos he faces on the streets. Gulliver is gung-ho,
always ready for a dangerous assignment.
As she explains it: "You gotta be in sync with the rhythms of
destruction. Civilization iscomingdown around ourears You've
gotta know when tobreakaruletosave the system�andhowtosurf
on every random wave of madness that comes along
The madness begins while the two officers are having lunch. A
young man enters the restaurant, opens fire on the customers and
then flees out a rear door, with Lyon and Gulliver in pursuit. The
gunman is finally slain in a shootout during which he yells out titles
of Elvis Presley songs.
After leaving the scene, Lyon is confronted by a repulsive
vagrant. "Ticktock, Ticktock. You'll be dead in sixteen hours the
hobo says. He disintegrates � not into a pile of bones, but into
pebbles, dust, pieces of old rags and dry clods of earth.
In another confrontation, at Lyon's home, he shoots the hobo
four times, but he doesn't go down.
"The vagrant raised his right hand, and green static electricity
crackled between his fingers. Light shimmered in the air above his
palm, and suddenly his hand was on fire. He snapped his wristand
flung a fireball across the room. It hit the drapes and they exploded
into flames
The hoboagain warns Lyon thathe will diesoon, and then burns
to cinders before the officer's eyes.
As the investigation continues, Lyon and Gulliver learn that the
hobo, with his frightening powers, also has set a deadline for killing
three other people, all of them homeless.
Who is this demon and how can he be stopped? Most of the
questions raised by Lyon and Gulliver are answered by a patient in
a private sanitarium.
Koontz provides a violent finale for this fantasy.

Finally, after Hexed, Body of
Evidence and other pointless
wastes of film, we have a date
movie! No more suffering
through ridiculous dialogue and
staleacting, my friend. We've got
Richard Gere, we've got Jodie
Foster, we've got a period-piece
romance wrapped in an intrigu-
ing screenplay called Sommersby.
GereisJackSommersby,com-
ing home to Vine Hill, Tenn two
years after the Civil War to re-
build his home, his farm and his
marriage. His wife Laurel (Jodie
Foster) is defensive about his ar-
rival. After all, he was cold and
cruel to her before he left, and she
had planned to marry family
friend Orrin Meecham (Bill Pull-
man) and hey, Gere's character
may not be Jack.
This Jack is kind, he's warm
to his friendsand slaves, he reads
Homer, his clothes fit differently
(he shrank two shoe sizes) but
well, he's Richard Gere, so Laurel
ain't just gonna throw himoutof
the house. Is it really the same
man who left seven years ago?
And if not, who is he and is this
part of a scam to rob the village
out of what the Union soldiers
left behind?
The movie opens with Gere
burying someone. Who was it?
He claims to have amnesia after
being captured by the Yanks but
can someone know small details
ofhispastand forget the name of
his best friend? Was the real Jack
sea rred as a passer-by claims, and
if so, why isn't there a mark on
this man? Could a man change so
drastically? And if not, wouldn't
his wife know the difference in
bed between her husband and a
stranger?
Sommersby has a great set-
A perfect Valentine's movie

jack Sommersby (Richard Gere) and his wife, Laurel (Jodie Foster), share a passionate moment after he returns
from a mysterious seven-year absence, in Warner Bros, romantic drama, "Sommersby
up also. Gere swears that he is
Jack. However, a posse arrives in
town to arrest Sommersby for
murder. Does he admit to being
Jack and hang or say he's a
stranger and live but to lose ev-
erything?
Following this scene, the
movie becomes a courtroom
drama that has the misfortune of
being released so soon after A
Few Good Men. As good as the
trial is and as well as everyone
acts, it just can't measure up in
tension and clean dialogue. The
mystery of Gere's identity saves
the film's second half, though. It
is an airtight plot with nuances so
subtle, the answer may prove de-
batable to some viewers.
Sommersby is blessed with tal-
ent. Gere has never been better.
He loses the cockiness that he
use,d to carry American Gigolo,
Breathless and even Pretty Woman.
He is sincere and noble, trying to
win back the wife who doubts his
word while still loving his inten-
tions.
Jodie Foster is incapable of a
bad performance and again
sounds true with her faux South-
ern accent. Their chemistry is not
only believablebutendearing and
fun, a bit more open than you
might expect. In fact, all the ac-
torsarehonestintheirmountain-
life roles � James Earl Jones as
the trial judge proves his ability
with his limited amount of lines.
Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek IV:
The Voyage Home and VI: The Un-
discovered Country) adapts The Re-
turn Of Martin Guerre, a French
production, which was based on
an actual case of just such an inci-
dent in 15th-century France. The
change of locale and use of perti-
nent historical information (the
Reconstruction, the early incar-
nation of the Ku Klux Klan) gives
Sommersby a solid foundation
that lets the acting carry the mo-
mentum and credibility.
Sommersby will get to you.
It's an affecting, lively tale com-
bined with a sharp script and an
ending that will floor you. Trust
me, take a date and enjoy the
show. It's that good.
speaks at night
By Marjorie McKinstry
Staff Writer
The midnight hour flips over to an-
other day, and suddenly another sound
emanates over WZMB's airwaves. Mu-
sic ceases to be of primary importance,
and the power of words, The Spoken
Word, starts a two-hour rampage that
trots through literature and any other
form of words the eclectic collection of
announcers have available.
Ts saviours of The Spoken Word and
dubious poetry go by the names Bucky
Sinister, Courage J. Sanskrit, Olay (as in
Oil of) Castlepunch, and Upton Wage
deliver insomniacs from boredom and
the unenlightened fromdepravity every
Monday night from midnight until 2 a.m.
Although the focus of the show is on
language and the spoken word, the show
is not a talk show. The deejays pick a
topic for the week, and then spend hours
searching through the library and
through their personal music collections
to create a suitable mental menu for the
night's intellectual onslaught.
Half an hour before the show, Sinis-
ter, Sanskrit, Castlepunch and Wage
compare lists of music, poetry, prose
and recorded speeches. They plunge
into bookbags, pulling out old literary
textbooks, back issues of Exjircssions a nd
the Rebel, and some of their own writ-
ings, composed while indulging in frothy
beverages. Two different copies for the
list of the day surface; Sanskrits'version
includes the word of the day-Yo mate-
rial of the day - grunge flannel; hairy
animal of the day-Chewbacca; orifice of
the day - mouth; and occupation of the
day-a tie between dentist and shepherd.
A few minutes before airtime, the
men grab their CDs and cassettes and
start programming the shows' music and
background aura. Unfortunately, the
cassette system is in an ill mood and
refuses to play. After a non-panicked
rush to the mike, Wage invites the audi-
ence to another evening examining the
spoken word.
This week's focus is on black English
and the black vernacular. The record-
ings of Malcom X are interspersed with
the musings of Bob Marley and the po-
etry of Gwendolyn Brooks and Amiri
Baraka. Wage tests his fellow deejays
with a hip hop vocabulary list. "Cour-
age J. Sanskrit, esq could you use dope
in a sentence?" Wage asks. Sanskrit
stumbles on the slang definition of dope,
but does manage to use the word cor-
rectly in a sentence -dope, by the way,
means fantastic.
Next, Wage explains the differences
between the east and west coast mean-
ings of eighth,ill, one being a haircut,
and the other to kill someone. Wage
asks, "Bucky Sinister, can you use
eightball correctly as a verb?"
Sinister replies, "The drug deal went
bad, so John eightballed Larry
"That was dope Sanskrit adds.
The discussions on the show are a
sort of bonus; WZMB already has one
talk show that airs earlier on Monday

Greenville restaurants cater to lovers
By Pam Revels
Staff Writer
Red, heart-shaped boxes of chocolates. Cupid with his
arrows. A dozen red roses. A romantic dinner for two.
Valentine's Day conjures up all of these images.
This holiday for couplesand young loversdatesali the way
back to the Middle Ages. Love notes, usually anonymous, were
sent on Feb. 14 because birds began to mate on that day. So,
naturally, the theory held that this constituted the perfect day
for humans to express their affection, also.
The name Valentine's Day originated with the Christian
martyr, St. Valentine, known as the patron saint of lovers. On
Feb. 14, St. Valentine was beheaded in Rome, and it became
traditional to prepare a celebratory feast on that day in his
honor.
Today, we still celebrate Valentine's Day by sending love
notes, or tokens of our affection, and eating.
Goingouttodinnerisoneof the traditional American ways
to celebrate the holiday.
Several restaurants in Greenville will commemorate
Valentine's by offering focxl and drink specials designed lor
couples. I lere are a few:
Annabelle's�Located in The Plaza, Annabelle's provides
a romantic and relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant will
feature several specials for Valentine's Day. Tine roast chicken
will be a bargain and two-for-the-price-of-one sirloins will
also be served. The drink special is $1.14 daiquiris.
Boli's 5th St. Pizzeria�Boli's, situated in downtown
Greenville, will have $1 domestics for the Sunday holiday, as
well as complementary desserts. If a special deal on a pizza
sounds good to you and your date, head down to Boli's.
Chico's Mexican Restaurant�Chico'scaterstoacouple's
needs on Valentine's by featuring a Mexican sampler platter
for two for $15.95. Strawberry margaritas will be served by the
pitcher for $11.95, and sweet tart shooters will cost $2.50.
Chico's is in downtown Greenville on Cotanche Street.
Darryl's 1907 Restaurant and Bar�Two prime rib din-
ners for $23.99 makes up the special at Darryl's. This also
includes twogardensaladsand turtle sundaes Drink specials
are $1.50 Screwdrivers and $1.50 Bloody Marys. Darryl's,

thei r next job, need this book�if not for the true story behind television journalism,
at least for the appendices in the back that list the major television markets in the
United States and Canada. Filoreto lists these markets by ADI (Areas of Dominant
Influence) and gives the addresses where interested persons can write.
Fibre to writes with an easy and flowing style. Readinghis book, (Setzer writes
only one chapter)you can almost see himsittingina desk chair, with hislegscrossed,
talking to you on the phone. The book is unpretentiousand informativeat the same
time; the readercan trust Filoreto because ofhisobvious knowledge and experience.
He's been in the business a while, and he knows what it takes to be a success in
television journalism.
Filoreto refrains from preachingor giving his own opinions on how to succeed.
As he says in his introduction, "the book is not based on our personal ideas of the
best way to land a job. The advice
herein comes straight from the people
whodo the hiring Filoreto surveyed
numerous top-level people as to their
preferences for job hunters. This ap-
proach gives the reader ah 'terfeelof
how to land that "entry-level" posi-
tion.
Possibly the best thing about this
bex'k is Filoreto's openness and hon-
esty. He portrays his job just like it is�
no frills, no fancy draping, the good
right along with the bad. In one chap-
ter, he relates the increasing trend to-
ward streamlining that most news TV
Stations are seeing in the '90s. Feople

Jenkins Fine Arts Center, second floor foyer.

The rare, four-volume double el-
ephant folio of The Birds of America by
John James Audubon will be on view at
the North Carolina Museum of Art Feb-
ruary 6-June 20. Twenty-seven hand-col-
ored engravings from the publication wi 11
also be on view.
The folios and the prints are part of
the Museum's own collection. Because
the prints are very susceptible to fading
caused by exposure to light, they areonly
shown occasionally. The Museum last
exhibited a selection of the prints in 1988.
This is the first time the folios will be on
view in an exhibition in the Museum.
Audubon, the noted American orni-
thologist and artist, realized a lifelong
goal in The Birds of America� to publish a
book illustrating every species of bird
found on the North American continent.
The 435-plate, double-elephant folio took
11 years to complete, from 1827-1838, and
represents years of strenuous field work
by Audubon to document more than 1,000
birds.
Audubon broke from the practice of
recording wildlife from stuffed examples
and established a new approach to his
documentation. He observed the birds in
the field, learning their mating and feed-
ing habitsalongwiththeirdistinguishing
characteristics. Rather than using the stiff
profiles that had been customary, he cre-
ated lifelike drawings of birds in their
natural habitats often eating, feeding, or
even figh ting Audubondid his firstsketch
in watercolor, and then combined the
watercolor with pencil, pastel, ink, oil,
crayon, and egg white to produce the
specialized texture and colors he desired
for each bird. His remarkable sense of
color and composition, coupled with has
flair for the theatrical, helped him create a
drawing that would best emphasize a
particular bird's physical characteristics
as will as its habits and habitat.
Publishing 77ze Birds of America was a
project of equal magnitude to the field
work. Unable to convince an American
publisher to accept the project, he con-
tracted with Robert Havell in London to
undertake the complicated copper-plate
printing and hand-
coloring process nec-
essary to accomplish
what Audubon had in
mind. Audubon sold
the publication to the
public through a sub-
scription system. A
subscriber had the
option of receiving The Birds of America
five plates at a time periodically over the
11 year process or the entire series bound
into four volumes at the project's conclu-
sion.
Fewer than 200 bound sets were pro-
duced, and the existanceof just more than
100 is known today. At the time of publi-
cation, the price in the United States for
the complete bound set was $1,000. Ac-
cording to the JulyAugust 1992 issue of
Antique Monthly, a copy of Ausubon's The
Birds of America recently sold for $4.07
million at Christie's, a record for any il-
lustrated book.
In 1846, the State of North Carolina
purchased the double-elephant folio at
the request of William A. Graham, who
was the state's governor from 1845-49,
and with the help of Joseph Green
Cogswell, celebrated librarian and bibli-
ographer who was headmaster of the
Episcopal School for Boys in Raleigh from
1834-36. Graham write to Cogswell, who
was then living in New York, about ac-
quiring the folios.
Cogswill found The Birds of America
and purchased the work for the state for
$650, a reduced amount probably due to
the fact that two plates were missing. In
the last 15years, the Museum has located
replacement plates for the missing two to
complete the folios.
The volumes remained at the State
Library until 1974, when they were trans-
ferred to the Museum, and a small num-
ber of plates were unbound, cleaned, and
restored. The twenty-seven prints on view
in the exhibition are part of that group.
The four-volume double elephant
(oversized) folios will also be on view in
the exhibition, protected under glass be-
causeof their fragile state. General use by
the public while in the State Libraries
Collection has caused deterioration of the

paper conservation at the State Univer-
sity College at Buffalo, will present a lec-

At 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 13, Joseph
Covington, director of education at the
Museum, will give a talk on Audubon's
career and ornithological work. Admis-
sion to the lectures is free.

dren will be offered during the exhibi-

up, convinced the whole process of
getting a gcxxi picture is just too com-
plicated.
If you are one of tlie many hobby
prx-rtDgraphersfrustrated with the tech-
nical demandsof today'scamerasand
fi 1ms, there isa relatively new product
on the market just for you: the 35mm
disposable camera.
Qi the leading edge of low tech
design, these humble plastic and card-
board box cameras mark a refreshing
return to basics by Kodak and Fuji, the
two international photo giants manu-
facturing and marketing them in sev-
eral variations.
There are a number of models
available, including panorama and
underwater configurations, some fea-
ture built-in flash.
All the mcxiels come pre-loaded
wi tli either 24 or 36 exposures of film,
so there's no film to buy.
If there isa flash, the batteries are
in the camera already.
No mandatory accessories, and
best of all, no thick, highly technical
instruction book.
The normal retail price for all
mcxiels is betweenlOand $15�but
disposables are often heavily dis-
counted.
For the technophobe who wants
to tike just a few gcxxi pictures in their
chi Idren's lifetimes, these cameras are
ideal.
There are no dials, readouts, or
display: just line it up in theviewfinder
and shixit.
Of course, thebigquestion is how

include a larger picture area than is

When shutting w ith a standard
disposable, compose carefully and
watch for unwanted objects on the
sides and top of the viewfinder.

on the part of the user.
Because the panorama takes big-
ger pictures, it needs more light to
expose the film.
It has a slower shutterspoed than
thestandard mi xiel, so beextra careful
to hold the camera steady and gently
squeeze the button until it dicks.
Tlie underwater rruxiel can be
taken into the ocean or a lake and
dunked or splashed with no negative
effects.
But it is not intended for photo-
graphing theTitantic.
It has roughlv the same water

and is ideal forsnorkelersfl oatingover

evenings, therefore the focus of
the spoken word is on language
more than conversation. But, this
can sometimes be a definite grey
area, especially when callers of-
fer opinions about controversial
subjects.
Last week, one such caller told
the deejays that he thought that
the gays in the military should be
on the front line to absorb bul-
lets. Obviously, other people be-
gan to call in, many with much
more liberal views. One such
caller, code-name Harold, a gay
member of ROTC, gave his opin-
ions regarding the gaymilitary
controversy. Thesamemancalled
back during the show this week
to tell the deejays that his voice
had been recognized on the air.
Harold said "now many people
in my program look at me differ-
ently. They're talking behind my
back
For a few moments, all the
deejays silenced their voiceswhile
Harold talked. Everyone else in
theofficequittalkingaswell. The
power of The Spoken Word is
amazing.
After the conversation with
Harold, Sanskrit read some Walt
Whitman � a slight deviation
from the topic of the evening, but
somehow, it seemed appropriate.

Overton's preparation pays off Coyer hoping to
By Billy Weaver
Staff Writer
Last year the Pirate baseballteam
finished with a 25-24 reoord. ECU is
back and gunning for their 22nd
consecutive winning season.
Finishing 7-10 in the Colonial
Athietic Association in 1992, the Pi-
rates look to their returning starters
and new comers, including seven
junior college transfers, in hopes of
regaining the CA A crown.
PITCHERS: The Pirates return
eight pitchers from their '92 roster.
Head Coach Gary Overton will look
to leaders such as left)- Johnny Beck
and righthandersHoward Whitfield
and Lyle Hartgrove. Beck, who
struck out 91 batters last year with a
3.54 ERA will be heavily depended
on d uring this season's tou gh sched-
ule.
CATCHERS: Junior college
transfer Mike Peters is very likely to
start for the Pirates behind the plate.
Peters was brought in to provide
defensivestability. Although offense
was the main objective for most of
ECU'snew recruits, the one concern
of the Pirate defense is opposing
base runners.
"We had a very hard time last
year with keeping teams from run-
ning on us pretty much at will
Overton said.
FIRST BASE: Lee Kushner is a
shoe-in at the right corner. In 1992
Kushner batted 353 with 13 home
runs. The Pirates will depend on his
playatfirstaswellashispoweratthe
plate. He will also be looked upon to
provide team leadership.
SECOND BASE: Heath dark
and Kevin Obholz are two assets to
the Pirate middle infield.
"Heath has been a two-year
starter for us and do to mat experi-
repair Pirate defense

ECU's baseball team will start the season tommorow against Georgia Southern in Statesboro. Aft�r four
road games to start the season, the Pirates will face the Tar Heels at Harrington Field on Feb. 19 at 3 p.m.
en ce he leads with winning that posi-
tion. Kevin Obholz is a very fine
player and will geta greatamountof
playing time Overton said.
The Pirates will also look for
Kevin 'sbatsomewh ere in thelineup.
THIRD BASE:The Pirateshave
a dandy in junior-college transfer
Chris West West wasa fourth-round
pick straight out of high school but
elected to mature at Louisburg Jun-
ior College. The Pirates expect big
things from West and hope that his
left handed power at the plate will
come in handy.
Overton also expects West to be
able to take some of the burden from
standout Lee Kushner in the batting
order. West will most likely fill the
No. 3 spot in the lineup.
SHORTSTOP: Definitely a
weak spot for the Pirates in '92.
"We played musical chairs (last
year). We used as many as four dif-
ferent players Overton said. Seton
Hall transfer Frank Fedak has won
the position. Fedak is not a flashy
player but Overton feels that he will
be able to get the job done.
OUTnELD:PatWatkins,trans-
ferJamieBorel and Freshman Lamont
Edwards look to anchor the defense
for the Pirates in the outfield. Speed
will be a factor in favor of the Pirate
outfielders.
'Tat Watkins Overton said.
"may be the best athlete on our dub
Offensively, the Pirates look for
Borel and Edwards in the stolen base
category. Jason Head should also see
playing time in the outfield.
The Pirate coaching staff does its
homework when scouting junior col-
lege players. Overton said he hopes
that by bringing in this new talent
holes in the offensive lineup will be
filled.Thisyear'sscheduleisone of the
toughest Overton and thePirates have
ever seen.
ECU opens the season with a three
game seriesatGeorgia Southern. The
Pirates play their first home game
against UNC-Chapel Hill on Feb. 19at
Harrington Field.

Bowe may know belts
but not how to be king
Boxing still waiting for a true
heir to the throne
By Warren Sumner
Assistant Sports Editor
Boxer Riddick Bowe is the current
heavyweight champion of the world. He
is one of the richest men in America, and
one of the most criticized.
He is blasted in the media for beating
contenders deemed by the media as "out
of shape or in some way unworthy of
challenging for his title.
He is belittled for beating Evander
Holyfield for the championship, who was
also thought of as unworthy of the title. In
fact, in Bowe's victory over Holyfield, the
former champion received more respect
in defeat than Bowe did for winning the
title. Even today the champion is torn
apart for dodging Lennox Lewis, despite
Bowe and his management's claim that it
is for business reasons.
Bowe is criticized for being some-
thing less than ideal in serving as the
primary representative of the sport of
boxing. Considering the profile of the
majority of athletes in this profession, this
assumption may well be correct.
Boxing's athletes, by a vast majority,
are not players in television's media cir-
cus. They are not able to inflate their
image with big talk and dazzling staging.
They often compete in dark, back-alley
gyms, paying for local notoriety with
sweat and blood. A precious few can
become wealthy off their earnings, but
most live as paupers, working other jobs
to support their sadistic hobby. Boxing is
both a sport and a way of life, and often its
punishments far outweigh its awards.
The boxer must incorporate tremen-
dous skill and speed to succeed at his
craft. He must have strength and endur-
ance to inflict punishment on his oppo-
nent, and take that which is inflicted on
him. His training regimen is fierce, nearly
as destructive as the fight he is training
for. Most times his winnings don't equal
to the expense of gym membership, only
when he joins the upper ranks of profes-
sional boxing can he support his addic-
tion to fighting.
Once the boxer finds a promoter, he
can join these coveted ranks. This busi-
ness official, a mixture of mobster and
circus ringmaster, is a necessary evil for
boxing success. Given the reputation of
these promoters, it isn't too difficult to see
who makes the real money in this profes-
sion. Yet, the boxer trains on, waiting for
his chance. And finally, if the promoter
phenagles him into a big fight, he gets it.
Now, the stakes are high, a failure
can be suicide, and a success could still
mean little. Often a knockout at these
stages means the end of a career, yet a
victory can mean everything. Eventually,
after a multitude of fights, broken noses,
and black eyes, the fighter finally gets a
shot at the title. He meets the champion in
the ring for the title, the glory and, if he
wins, a whole host of pressures from be-
ing an international celebrity.

Tennis team
will rely on
foriegn imports
By Brent St. Pierre
Staff Writer
Spring must be in the air. It is that time
of the year for men and women in white to
hit the hard courts. Yes, it is tennis time, or
should it be, tea time.
This year's men's tennis team has a
uniquely European flavor. Four of Coach
Bill Moore's Pirates have made the exodus
from the "Old Country Juniors Anders
Ahl, Ben Atkinson, Camile Huisman and
Markku Savusalo represent ECU's Euro-
pean contingent.
Cou pled wi th a strong sophomoreclass,
this year's tennis team hopes to improve on
last years 14-14 overall record and, more
importantly, their 5-3 CAA conference
record.
Last year Moore expected a tough time
with youth and inexperience. WTiat he got,
however, was a Pirate team that finished
third in the CAA for the third straight year.
Last year the team had no upper classmen.
Now the Pirate baby boomers have reached
adolescence and a re read y to vie for the CAA
crown.
The men host six matches this season,
including two CAA Conference matches
against UNC-Wilmington and William and
Mary. The CAA final will be April 16-18 in
Richmond, Virginia.
The Lady Pirate netters are coming off a
disappointing season in which they were 5-
8 and seventh in the CAA. Though they are
slightly moreexperienced then the men; this
year can only be described asone of rebuild-
ing.
The Pirates return four upperclassmen

from last years team. They are led by lone
Senior Jennifer Fenton. Moore has labeled
Fen ton as one of the strongest players in the
CAA and has a good chance to win the
conference championship.
For ECU to be successful, Fen ton cannot
carry the load alone, last year's underclass-
men must contribute. Kristine Anderson,
Elke Garten, Karen Hester and Kristin
Robinson must bepreparedtohelp Fenton if
they have any hope of losing the "cellar-
dwelJer" tag.

The team will host three home matches
thisseasonagainstUNC-Greensboro, UNC-
Charlotte and against arch-rival Peace Col-
lege. ECU will travel to Harrisonburg, Va.
April 16-17 to compete in the CAA Confer-
ence Championships. Look for the Pirates to
make the slow move to the upper echelon of
the conference by season's end.

Mendenhall tournaments send finalists to Knoxville, Tenn.
By Joe Horst
Staff Writer
Billiards, table tennis, chess and bowl-
ing.
Sounds like the most unlikely combi-
nation of sports you could ever come
across, right? Well, ECU will be sending
individuals from all four of these sports
to Knoxville, Tenn for the Association of
College Unions (ACU-I), regional tour-
nament.
During the weekend of Feb. 25-28,
these students will represent ECU in their
various sports at the University of Ten-
nessee. If they continue to win this re-
gional tournament, thestudents will pro-
ceed to the international tournaments,
which will be held in separate locations
and at separate times for the respective
sports.
All tournaments at ECU had been
held during the last two-three weeks of
January. More recently, on Feb. 4,
Mendenhall hosted the finals for men's
and women's billiards. The top three fi-
nalists from the men's and the top two
from the women's would be able to go on
to Knoxville.
When the cues were laid down and
the chalk cleared, the winners emerged.
Lewis Croom came out as the men's vic-
tor and Kelly Lamm rose to the women's
winner position. Cori Daniels fought her
way to second place, racking an impres-
sive4-l margin before falling short. Shawn
Bartley and Devin Scully came in second
and third, respectively, for the men's.
Bartley placed second in the chess
tournament as well. He must now choose
between representing ECU in chess or
bill iards; if he chooses chess, fourth place
winner Rodney Strickland (who won last
year's tournament) will take his place in
the billiards competition.
Ben Kerns took f i rst place in the chess
tournament and Jaspar Tyson placed
third. Both Tyson and Kerns won last
year's tournament and will return this
year to Knoxville for a rematch.
For men's table tennis, Ramon
Navarro and Chad Warrick will repre-
sent ECU. Navarro won last year's tour-
nament for ECU. No women signed up
for table tennis.
In men's singles bowling, Keith Webb
and Greg Schehr will roll into Knoxville
for ECU. In the co-rec tournament, Ray
Chilcote, Winn Woodington, Chicora
Martin and Lynnae Jewell will combine
toattempt to bring victory down the lanes.
All students that will be going down
to Knoxville will have their expenses,
food, transportation and lodging paid by
the Student Union Production Commit-
tee.
Lynn Jobes, advisor to the Student
Unions Production Committee, a ttributed
the high number of students going to
Knoxville to the greater participation by
thestudents.
"We have more representatives be-
cause of a greater participation lobes
said. "With this many people, we hope to
improve our chances of winning

Reserves named for

phis Showboats for one season
(1985).
After leaving Memphis State in
1986, Coyer became linebackers
coach at UCLA, a position he re-
tained until moving to Houston for
the 1990 season.
Last ason, the Buckeyes were
ranked 13th in the nation pass effi-
ciency defense and were led by All-
Big Ten defensive back Roger
Harper.
Coyer hascoached in fourbowl
games including the 1993 Florida
Citrus Bowl, the 1992 Hall of Fame
Bowl, the 1989 Cotton Bowl and the
1987 Aloha Bowl. He was an assis-
tant at UCLA for the latter two
games.
His secondary at UCLA was
considered one of the nations best.
In 1988, All-America Darryl Henley
led the Bruins to a 6th place ranking
in pass defense while UCLA was
ranked ninth in 1987.
Coyer is a 1965 graduate of
Marshall University, where he was
a standout football player and wres-
tler. He was an Academic All-
America in 1964, an All-Mid-
America Conference selection in
1963-64, and an honorable mention
All-America in 1964. In 1987,hewas
inducted into the school's Athletics
Hall of Fame.
After grad ua tion, he spent three
seasons as Marshall's secondary
coach, leaving in 1968 to become
head coach at Martins Ferry High
School in Ohio. Between 1970 and
1972, he was defensive coordinator
at Massillon High School, leaving in
1973 to become secondary coach at
Bowling Green.
Coyer and his wife, Linda, have
two sort Matthew and Justin.
Aschampion, mostnotably as
the heavyweight champion, an
athlete must contend with celeb-
rity status tha t dwarfs most enter-
tainers. Not only must this person
develop skills as an athlete, but
must become a genuine personal-
ity. Some past contenders have
seemed bom to this role, whocould
forget the star appeal of
Muhammad Ali, or "Marvelous"
Marvin Hagler or boxing's largest
personality (and midsection)
George Foreman. All seemed to
handle the ca mera's eye better than
they handled most opponents.
Boxing fame, however, has
brought on its casualties. Mike
Tyson, after becoming famous,
abused his star quality in such a
manner that lead to his eventual
imprisonment. Even more unfor-
tunate are the rare deaths and in-
juries that boxing brings.
None will forget the death of
Korean boxer Doo-Koo Kim at the
hands of Ray "Boom-Boom"
Mancini. There are countless com-
petitors whoare "punch-drunk
a term defining the irreversible
brain damage some boxers have
discovered intotheircareers.Stud-
ies are being done on Muhammad
Ali to see if the punishment he
took in the ring aggravated his
current condi-
r'irnkinSon Only a few fighters
"S get rich, unlike many
nearly lost his
skills tomeet their next challenge.
Only a few fighters get rich,
unlike many professional sports,
so every competitor must truly
love the sport and the way of life it
provides.
Eventually,
when their
skillsdeterio-
rate, they will
leave the
game, but not
itswayof life.
Most continue
this lifestyle
by preparing
sport ana the way of the next gen
. , erationofath-
life it provides. eies for the
brutal sport
they have given their life to.
Others continue their public
lives in the arenas of entertain-
ment. Foreman has an upcoming
pilot, "George" which has the tele-
vision industry buzzing about a
possible wee knight slot.
He has appeared in countless
commercials which havehimstuff-
ing his face on the screen and his
professional sports,
so every competitor
must truly love the
eye to a box-
ing-related de-
tached retina.
The dangers
are many, and
more often
than not, the
rewards are
few.
Boxers must keep in the best
possible condition to be able to
merely compete in the ring. Any
sign of weakness will be exploited
by an opponent. Unlike many
sports, there aren't many avail-
able shortcuts when its just you
and another person trying to beat
the s� out of each other. Boxers
must constantly develop their
wallet off of it. The current heavy-
weight titleholder Riddick Bowe,
with hisoutgoing personality and
Ali impression, will undoubtedly
have little trouble find ingemploy-
ment after his boxing days are fin-
ished.
But is Bowe the person to rep-
resent the true boxer? Is he the best
at hiscraft, or merely a pale imita-
tion of the Ali's and Marciano'sof
yesterday?
That is a question that only
time will answer. Perhaps Bowe
will reign long over the boxing
throne, perhaps he will abdicate it
on his next fight.
The only thing that is assured
is tha t when Bowe does leave the
game, he will leave it a wealthy
man.
But in the midst of all these
mill ions, somewhere in the collec-
tive consciences of those lucky few
thatmadeitbig,therewillbe whis-
pering sounds from some sweaty,
back-alley gym, and the knowl-
edge that the athletes there, call-
ing from their anonymity, have
made itall possible.

You don't have to achieve ejaculation to be infected. Before any genital
contact, put a condom on.
