The AIDS virus has infected
10 to 12 million people world-
wide. Closer to home in NC, 15,000
to 20,000 are infected with the HIV
virus. Pitt County took part in a
worldwide AIDS Day celebration
on Dec. 1 in recognition of the
millions of people infected with
the AIDS virus. The first "AIDS
Awareness" postage stamp was
unveiled as part of the AIDS Day
celebration. Present at the unveil-
ing was Nan Hawkins, one of the
two people awarded the Volun-
teer AIDS award. AIDS Day ac-
tivities were sponsored by the Pitt
County AIDS Service Organiza-
tion. PIC ASO ia a volunteer asso-
ciation that has played a large role
in making Pi tt County more aware
of the AIDS pandemic.
The celebration ended with
a candlelight vigil and march from
Jarvis Methodist Church to the
Town Commons. Ron Kimble,
Greenville City Manager, Dr. Tho-
mas L. Walker and Dr. Tim Mon-
roe, President elect of PICASOand
Director of the Pitt County Health
Center were some of the speakers
present for the AIDS vigil. Volun-
teering and partnership against the
spread of AIDS along with pre-
vention and education were the
main focuses of the vigil.
"We want to realize that as
individuals, what a difference we
can make in the hopes of working
with HTV and helping to educate
others Susan Kellerman, PIC ASO
Chairperson of the Education Sub-
committee, said.
One in every 250 people in
the U.S. are infected with AIDS
virus. AIDS is the third leading
cause of death in adults from 25 to
44 years of age.
"To lead this crusade we
must be concerned with this be-
cause it is an economic issue, social
issue and one that we all must be
concerned with Kimble said.
The theme of this year's AIDS
Day is "A Time to Act "The theme
this year is a challenge, the chal-
lenge goes out to governments,
communities and individuals. The
challenge is for us to set aside old
habits of complacency, denial and
discrimination Tim Monroe, Di-
rector of the Pitt County Health
Center and President elect of
PICASO,said.
Rick O'Neil, a volunteer with
the PICASO agency, discovered
that he had AIDS in 1991. O'Neil
gives a messageof hope and wants
to spread that hope to other vic-
tims of the AIDS virus.
"When I close my eyes for
the last time, I want to know that
people like you will continue to
fight. I dream of a world with no
AIDS and no cancer; a world of
love and peace. If we can't come to
that in my lifetime I hope we can
do it yours O'Neil said.

The ECU School of Art has
been approved for accreditation by
the Na tional Associa tion of Schools
of Art and Design.
This recognition gives ECU

ECU competed with 79
schools also looking for accredita-

DA issues report on spray death
CONCORD, N.C (AP) ?
Concord police officers used no
excessive force during the arrest
of a man who died after being
sprayed with pepper gas, the dis-
trict attorney said today.
In a 13-page report, District
Attorney Bill Kenerly said Angelo
Robinson, whose arrest and death
on July 11 triggered rioting in Con-
cord, did not die because of crimi-
nal negligence.
Robinson died while in po-
lice custody after officers used
pepper spray to subdue the 308-
pound former Concord High
School and college football player.
He was taken into custody
to be charged with disorderly con-
d uct and assault on a government
official at the Waffle House on
U.S. 29, Kenerly said. Robinson
died after being taken by police to
the county jail entrance and then
to Concord police headquarters.
It was reported that officers
tried to resuscitate Robinson.
Eleven minutes transpired be-
tween Robinson's arrival at po-
lice headquarters and when an
ambulance was called, according
to police radio transcripts.
The 24-year-old's death
touched off a riot in the predomi-
nantly black Logan Community,
during which more than $130,000
in property damage was caused,
a convenience store was burned
and several officers and
firefighters were injured by bricks
and debris thrown at them.
A week-long state-of-emer-
gency throughout Concord fol-
lowed.
Mary Blakeney, chairman of
the human relations committee of
the Concord-Cabarrus County
Chamber of Commerce, called for
a calm resolution, but also criti-
cized the findings.
"I think it (the report) is an
outrageous miscarriage of justice,

Threat of Brady prompts widespread gun sales
CONCORD,N.H. (AP)?For
Alan H. Marcotte, there are only 90
shopping days left until Brady.
As President Clinton signed
into law the Brady bill, with its
restrictions on weapons purchases,
Marcotte, his son, and gun enthusi-
asts nationwide went shopping
Tuesday.
Effective Feb. 28, the new law
will require a five-day waiting pe-
riod and background check for gun
purchasers.
"I wouldn't be here today if
the bill had not passed the 60-
year-old Marcotte, who has owned
guns since he was 12, said as he and
his son checked the goods at Riley's
Sport Shop.
"It's the principle of the
thing Marcotte said, as he picked
out a handgun. "We want to enjoy
the freedom and right before the
government takes them a way from

that they had better get their guns

World marks
AIDS Day
(AP) Australians dimmed
lights on landmark buildings
today, Princess Diana had a
ticket to an AIDS fund-raising
rock concert in London and in
Bangkok nurses sold yellow
roses.
Even in China, where the
usual attitude is to ignore AIDS
as a foreign problem, the health
ministry called a meeting of
medical specialists to mark
World AIDS Day.
Governments called for
better education and preven-
tion, and individuals mourned
loved ones lost to AIDS.
The World Health Orga-
nization estimates that 13 mil-
lion people worldwide are in-
fected with the human immu-
nodeficiency virus, or HIV,
which causes AIDS. It says that
figure may triple within seven
years.
Diana's support for AIDS
causes underlined the high pro-
file that AIDS has long had in
Western countries.
In much of Asia, where
many experts fear the epidemic
could reach explosive propor-
tions, cultural taboos have ham-
pered open discussion. But that
is beginning to change.
Nurses sold roses in the
Thailand capital, where a flour-
ishing sex trade has helped
spread the virus, to publicize
the risks.
China's vice minister of
health Yin Dakui was quoted
by the official Xinhua News
Agency as telling the medical
meeting, "It is very important
for Chinese to raise their aware-
ness of AIDS
It was more than a plati-
tude. According to a survey in
Yunnan province, one-third of
government workers, doctors
and police did not know
whether the AIDS virus could
be transmitted by shaking
hands or having a meal with an
HIV-positive person.
In the Philippines, where
the government has clashed
with the Roman Catholic hier-
archy over AIDS prevention
and family planning, thou-
sands of people flocked to
Manila's financial district for
a parade and rally.
Health secretary Juan
Flavier appeared wearing a
red T-shirt emblazoned with
"Red Alert, Stop Aids
Characters costumed as
a condom and a skeleton
capered in the crowd, while
air force helicopters dropped
red confetti.
In Japan, which has also
tended to label AIDS a for-
eign problem, celebrities in-
cluding a popular woman
professional wrestler handed
out information to commut-
ers in train stations.
Hong Kong, a British
colony, began offering HIV
tests in 1985.
Even so, prevention ef-
forts have been frustrated by
a reluctance, especially
among older people, to dis-
cuss sex. Traditional taboos
also apply; homosexuality
was only recently decrimi-
nalized.
As elsewhere,
underreporting of AIDS cases
is common in many parts of
Asia.
In conservative, over-
whelmingly-Muslim Indone-
sia, the health minister says
there are fewer than 200 HIV
carriers ? but other officials
say the number may be 100
times that.
In India, the rapid
spread of AIDS has slowly
overcome a traditional reluc-
tance to talk openly about sex.
Today, a major Indian news-
paper for the first time printed
a graphic sketch illustrating
condom use.
The WHO and local so-
cial groups have fanned out
in the seedy slums of Bombay
and Calcutta, where prosti-
tutes and drug addicts are
most at risk.
Health experts warn
that AIDS could be an eco-
nomic catastrophe for India,
a nation of 880 million people
with a per capita income of
only $360.

State dawdling to remove him from isolation
Insensitive perhaps, but T-shirts are free speech
A fraternity has won a battle against University of Califor-
nia-Riverside administrators who ordered the Phi Kappa Sigma
chapter disbanded for three years after members sported T-shirts
that demeaned Mexicans. On the advice of university attorneys,
UC-Riverside officials decided to settle a lawsuit filed by the
fraternity before the case went to court, said Jack Chappell,
director of universitv relations. As part of that settlement, two
administrators who ordered the discipline against the fraternity

speech. "People need to realize that the campus is a marketplace
of free ideas, and that includes the rotten fruit as well as the good
and nourishing food Chappell said. "Even repulsive expression

Groups serve older students' needs
Returning to college can be a frightening experience for an
adult, but there are organizations on campuses across the country
designed to help these non-traditional students make the neces-
sary adjustments to college life. According to the Department of
Education statistics for the fall 1991 semester, 4.1 million of all
undergraduate college students are above the age of 25. Carla
Warner, director of the Center for Adult Programs and Services at
Eastern Tennessee University, defined adult students as anyone
23 years or older, but said there are a lot of exceptions. Some of the
non-traditional students are younger than 23 and have families.
"It's more about what their responsibilities are, not their chrono-
logical age she said.
Alcohol not limited at DU
Resident students at Duquesne University are not limited to
:72 cans of beer per week as reported in the school's newspaper,
: The Duquesne Duke. In fact, resident students 21 years old and
? older have unrestricted alcohol privileges, campus officials said,
I refuting a story about a new alcohol policy restricting the amount
" of alcohol allowed in the residence hall that was printed on the
front page of the paper's Sept. 30 issue. A statement made by the
resident director saving he would question students who check in
more than three cases of alcohol per week, or three bottles of
liquor per week, was taken out of context, campus officials said.
The statement was not meant to limit students, said the Rev. Sean
Hogan, executive vice president of student affairs.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP)
? Despite the state's promise
more than a year ago to make
amends, a deaf man remains
where he has been for 68 years
? isolated in a state psychiatric
hospital ? even though he is
not mentally ill.
State officials have been
slow to move 97-year-old unius
Wilson to a cottage on the
grounds of Cherry Hospital, a
sprawling psychiatric complex
in Goldsboro that once was an
insane asylum for black people.
Wilson's guardian, John
Wasson, and his lawyer, Paul
Pooley, say state officials are
dragging their feet on a year-
old legal agreement. A state of-
ficial says removing lead paint
from the cottage and finding
money for the $62,000 renova-
tion slowed the project.
Regardless of the cause,
time is running short for the man
who has lived in a silent world
at Cherry since Nov. 21, 1925.
"Anyone who's 97 years
old, I think you measure their
life in minutes ? not in days
said Wasson, assistant director
for social work with the New
Hanover County Department of
Social Services. "I'm very dis-
turbed by this whole thing
Wilson was 29 when he
was sent to the hospital. He had
been found incompetent to
stand trial on an attempted rape
charge. Two years later, he was
castrated. Eventually, the charge
was dropped, but Wilson re-
mained locked in the insane asy-

lum, unable to hear or speak.
In 1990, a Cherry Hospital
social worker learned his his-
tory and decided to try to help
the strong, stocky man, who
looks much younger than he is.
Since he has regained some
ability to communicate, Wilson
has grown increasingly frus-
trated with the state's inaction,
Wasson said.
"He has said through sign-
ing that he wants to be off a
locked psychiatric geriatric
ward. That is what he wants
Wasson told the New Hanover
County Social Services Board on
Tuesday. My biggest fear is that
he has a stroke or dies before he
gets over there
With the threat of a law-
suit hanging over them, state
officials agreed in October 1992
to ensure Wilson's remaining
days would be unlike the past
68 years. Hospital officials have
trained the people who work
with Wilson to communicate
with him.
But the settlement also
called on state officials to move
him to an wrtroent. Off ?
agreed in August that the hos-
pital would renovate a cottage
on the grounds for him to move
into by early October. That date
was changed to early December
because lead paint, which is
toxic, was found in the two-bed-
room cottage.
"It seems a little bit absurd
to worry about his lifelong ex-
posure to lead paint at this point
in his career Pooley said.
The project also was held
up by state officials' search for
$62,000 for the renovations, said
Steve Johnson, assistant chief for
mental health services.
Johnson says bids on the
renovation have been received
and construction should begin
soon.

DURHAM (AP) ? A 12-
member jury is in place and ready
to hear opening statements today
in the trial of a break-in victim
charged with killing one teen and
wounding another by shooting
them in the back as they fled his
home.
The case, which has racial
overtones because the defendant,
Michael Seagroves, 37, is white
and his victimsblack, willbeheard
by nine whites, two blacks and
one Asian. The jury was seated on
Tuesday.
Seagroves, who claims self-
defense, is charged with volun-
tary manslaughter in the death of
15-year-old JamalEvans Elliott on
March 18. The shooting occurred
after Seagroves encountered
Elliott and threeotherteensbreak-
ing into his home.
He is also charged with as-
sault with a deadly weapon and
inflicting serious injury, for
wounding Clifton Hester Taft
during the same incident.
Seagroves' defense is ex-
teen-age victims wereshotatclose
range as they attacked the resi-
dent, and that neither boy was
shot squarely in the back.
The surviving youths have
said they were running away from
Seagroves when he fired at them
with a .22-caliber rifle, reportedly
striking Elliott four times and Taft
twice.
Prospective jurors were in-
formed Tuesday that Seagroves
has no legal burden to prove that
he acted in self-defense. The bur-
den, rather, is on the state to prove
that he did not.
17 men settle
for $13 rrullion
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
(AP) ? Seventeen men who ac-
cused a former Roman Catholic
priest of sexually abusing them as
children have agreed on a $13
millionsettlementattomeyssaid.
More than30plaintiffshave
sued the Archdiocese of Santa Fe,
claiming they were sexually
abused by priests as children.
Aboutl2priestshavebeennamed.
The settlement involves Ja-
son Sigler, who left the priesthood
in 1982 after being charged with
airninal sexual penetration of a
minor. Sigler pleaded guilty in
1983 in exchange for a deferred
sentence.
According totheagreement,
Sigler will make a videotaped
statement within five days, testi-
fying about how much the arch-
diocese and the Servants of the
Paraclete treatment center in
Jemez Springs knew about his
sexual problems and when they
knew it.
Bruce Pasternack, an Albu-
querque attorney representing the
accusers, said the damages will be
collected from eight insurance
companies.
Pasternack said Sigler has
filed claims against eight insur-
ance companies representing
priests who worked for the arch-
diocese and agreed to assign his
rights to those claims to the plain-
tiffs.
He said the insurance com-
paniesbreached their duty to pro-
vide Sigler with a defense against
lawsuits alleging sexual abuse.
The archdiocese sued sev-
eral insurance companies in Au-
gust, contending they wrongly
refused to pay claims stemming
from allegations of sexual mis-
conduct by priests.
Albuquerque attorney Ron
Koch, who represents Sigler, pre-
dicted the settlement would "fa-
cilitate a resolution of all the other
cases
The 17 plaintiffs will con-
tinue their six civil lawsuits in
state court against the Archdio-
cese of Santa Fe and the Servants
of the Paraclete.
Sigler, 55, met with 16 of his
accusers in Pasternack's office
Monday to apologize for his ac-
tions.
After the private meeting,
the 16 men held a news confer-
ence.

13-year-old honored for heroic effort
WILMINGTON (AP)?Thir-
teen-year-old Gabe Atkinson said
he is no hero.
But he was honored Monday
with a plaque from the New
Hanover County Sheriff's Depart-
ment for his heroic efforts this sum-
mer when he steered a car to the
side of the road a fter the driver had
a seizure.
"We like to recognize a good
deed like this New Hanover
County Sheriff Joseph McQueen
Jr. said.
Gabe, a friend and his friend's
mother were driving on a New
Jersey highway during a vacation
in July when the boy's mother had
a seizure and lost consciousness.
His friend grabbed the wheel
on one side and Gabe, who was in
the back seat, grabbed the other
side. The car had accelerated and
because the boys could not reach
the brake, thev steered the car to
the median.
By then, Gabe's mother, who
wasdriving another car just ahead,
noticed the car behind her swerv-
ing-
Susan Atkinson said, "I
looked back and saw an arm dan-
gling out the window and I turned
around
The boys managed to shift
the car into neutral while on the
median, but the car was still mov-
ing about 35 mph. Susan Atkinson
said she shouted for the boys to
switch off the ignition and Gabe
did.

t bally attack at speech
recognizing World AIDS Day
do
Center, Clinton was interru
by a young man who accused
him of failing to live up to his
promises on AI LJ)S 'Slk k Willie
the man shouted. " The Republi-
cans were right. It's time to put
up or shut up, Bill "
The president stood motion-
less and listened. The outburst
lasted about a minute before the
man was ushered out by security
guards.
Clinton said he was not
bothered by the incident, which
occurred after the president had
visited with AIDS patients. He
said he would rather have the
man "screaming at me than have
given up
"Part of my job is to be a
lightning rod the president said.
"Part of my job is to lift the
hopes and aspirations of the
American people, knowing that
as long as you try to lift hopes and
lift aspirations, you can never
fully close the gap between what
you're reaching for and what
you're actually doing and know-
ing for sure that there's no way I
can now keep everybody alive
who already has AIDS
Health Secretary Donna
Shalala and Surgeon General
Joycelyn Elders donned aprons
and dished out scrambled eggs
and sausages to homeless men
fighting both poverty and the
deadly infection.
At Georgetown Medical
Center, Clinton visited with sev-
eral AIDS victims, including
? and hoping
priate lots of
be done
1 ater, in his speech, Clinton
said the nation must fight every
day against AID "The purpose
oi this day is to remind us that
our attitudes, behavior and pas-
sion should be revved up the
president said.
At that point, the unidenti-
fied AIDS activist ran down the
aisle toward the president, stop-
ping about 50 feet from him.
"One year, lots of talk, no
action the protestor shouted.
Clinton did not appear
ruffled by the outburst. "It's
alright. It's alright he assured
the crowd, some of whom reacted
angrily toward the demonstra-
tor.
The administration says that
in less than a year it has boosted
AIDS research by 21 percent and
sharply increased support for pro-
grams like the Health Care for the
Homeless project that Shalala and
Elders visited.
On Tuesday, Shalala an-
nounced the formation of a task
force of government, industry,
academia and activist groups to
speed the search for new drugs to
fight the disease that has already
killed 204,000 Americans.
Shalala sat down to break-
fast beside Maxwell Wedge, 32,
who told her that life on thestreets
with the HIV infection is "very
stressful. It's very depressing
"It's like an everyday war.
You get depressed and angry.
Some days I'm angry with the
whole world he said.
Marvin Faulker, 29, com-
plained of long waits togethous-
ing. "We don't have a long time
he said.
Gary Myers, 43, com-
plained that because he quali-
fied for regular Social Security
disability and gets more than
S500 a month, he is ineligible for
Medicaid and has no health in-
surance.
Elders told the homeless
men, Til always be out there as
your surgeon general fighting for
you
At a Justice Department cer-
emony, Attorney General Janet
Reno said the Justice Department
is enforcing the Americans with

Phi Sigma Pi honor fraternity bikes
for bucks for Heart Association
By Jennifer Jenkins
Staff Writer
Phi Sigma Pi is now biking
tor bucks. Recently, 40 brothers
in the fraternity rode 385 miles
on stationary bikes. The Bike
for Bucks-a-thon was held at
Cycle Center on Arlington Bou-
levard, and raised over SI,500.
Kelly Kellis, Phi Sigma Pi's
ways and means chairperson,
telt that "the event was very suc-
cessful and we hope that the
fraternity will continue this ac-
tivity in the future The money
the fraternity earned will go to
the American Heart Association
and Phi Sigma Pi. The frater-
nity will use the money for gen-
eral purposes and needs of the
organization.
The bike-a-thon, co-spon-
sored by Cycle Center, lasted
from 4 a.m. until 9 p.m. Brothers
of the fraternity rode on two
stationary bicycles that Cycle
Center provided for them.
Ashlev Neal believes "everyone
in the fraternity had a great time
and everything was for a good
cause

dents have been from University of

The North Carolina Planned

these professionals to educate cli-
ents on estate and financial tech-
niques to maximize 'heir clients'
gifts.
In turn, their clients could re-
ceive an income or their gift could
be tax deductible. The other pur-
pose is to promote philanthropy in

Ball joined ECU's staff in 1986,
already being a native of Green-
ville. Ball also serves as the legal
counsel to The ECU Foundation,
Inc. Ball directs the planned giving
efforts of ECU through the Division
of Institutional Advancement.

"Bali is a representative to all

ment. "To have someone as a part

speaks highly of the university

about it
Bill Perkins, manager of Da vis
Center Shooting Sports in Louis-
ville, Ky said the bill has been great
for business.
"Peopleareafraid.Thevdon't
want their name on papers that go
to the government he said. "Big
Brother already knows too much.
They don't want these guns traced
to them because they're afraid the
government will eventually use this
to take the guns away
The Brady bill's effect on gun
buyers is not as great in states that
already have waiting periods, such
as California, New York and New
Jersey.
"State laws here make the
Brady bill look like nothing said
Frank Caso, owner of Caso's Gun-
A-Rama Inc. in Jersey City, N.J. "It
won't mean anything here
The pending crime bill is in-
creasing gun sales even in states
with waiting periods.
Don Davis, owner of several
Indiana gun stores, said there has
not been much increase in handgun
sales because of the state's seven-
day waiting period. But gun dis-
tributors have gone on a buying
spree for AK-47s and other assault
weapons because they expect Con-
gress to ban the weapons next year,
he said.
"Those guns, the ammunition
that feeds those guns, have all been
swallowed up because of the Brady
bill Davis said. "People are gam-
bling that the crowd in Congress
are sic going to come to their senses
and ban them
John Marker, owner of the
Black Hills Trading Post in Rapid
City, S.D said he has sold about 35
assault weapons a week since the
Senate voted to ban them as part of
the crime bill.That'sabouta tenfold
increase in sales horn a year ago, he
said.
"They're buying them while
they can Marker said. "It's an in-
vestor item. They're better thahCDs
(bank certificates of deposit)
He sold one for $2,500 and
several for $1,500. Most sales are in
the $700 range.
and of course I was not surprised
at the outcome of the report
Blakeney said. "All along, since it
has taken such a long time, I felt
this would be the end result
But Blakeney added thatcivil
disobedience will not help the situ-
ation.
Police Chief Bob Cansler
called in the SBI to investigate and
put three officers on desk duties
until the investigation was com-
pleted. The SBI's findings in a
1,250-page report went directly to
Kenerly to determine if there were
grounds to file criminal charges
against the three officers.
Cansler also discontinued
use of pepper spray in his depart-
ment following the Aug. 30 re-
lease of the state Medical
Examiner's report on Robinson,
which stated that pepper spray
brought about bronchial spasms
that led to Robinson's death by
asphyxia.
That report was the first in
the nation that medically linked
pepper spray as a leading factor
contributing to death. Medical re-
sults showed Robinson also had a
.14 blood alcohol equivalent on
the breathalyzer scale, a trace of
caffeine in his system, food and
vomit were found in his lungs,
and the walls of his lungs to have
been chronically inflamed. No
other natural disease was found,
Kenerly said.
Kenerly said Robinson re-
fused to be arrested by officer
Jimmy Maner. Maner and Officer
Brandon Eggleston tried to lake
physical control to handcuff
Robinson, who then pulled
away from the officers.
The two officers sprayed
Robinson with the pepperspray
several times Kenerly said
Robinson had difficulty seeing,
"walked away from the officers
while shielding his face and us-
ing his shirt to wipe the spray
from his face
Robinson threw a punch
at Maner after the officer at-
tempted to use his baton to sub-
due Robinson, the report states.
With a large crowd gath-
ering, Robinson jerked away
from Eggleston and said, If
you mace me again, I'm gonna
kick your ass Kenerly said.

Nations reflect on World AIDS Day
Once ? not very long ago ? even
those of us in Generation X lived our lives
without a disease called Aquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome. Now this disease
(more readily identifiable as AIDS) is the
number one killer of American men aged
25 to 44 and the eighth biggest killer over-
all.
The figures are bleak: AIDS has
claimed more than 200,000 American lives;
HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) has in-
fected an estimated 13 million people
worldwide (The World Health Organi
zation assesses that this figure will
triple within seven years); it is es-
timated that 92 Americans die by
the hands of AIDS every day. And
there doesn't seem to be a cure in
sight. This deadly disease that fails
to discriminate is parent to interna-
tional recognition on Dec. 1, aptly
named World AIDS Day. This year
marks the fifth annual World AIDS
Day.
It is unfortunate that AIDS
has grown into such a decisive
factor in human lives that time
must be set aside for reflection
on the thousands of lives it has
stolen, that we as human beings
must hold international meetings on strat-
egy towards its demise, and that some
people still can't get it through their heads
that AIDS is not a gay disease.
Lights were dimmed around the globe
Wednesday as a symbol of grief and hope.
More than 5,000 groups participated in
blackouts, including 15-minute darkenings
of skylines in New York, Seattle and San
Francisco. Local events included a candle-
light march and vigil sponsored by Pitt
County AIDS Service Organization and
ECU Peer Health Educators.
There is even a 29-cent stamp featur-
ing the well-recognized red ribbon ? the
symbol of AIDS awareness and compas-
sion ? that went on sale Wednesday in
conjunction with World AIDS Day events.
After the slack attention of the Reagan
and Bush administrations, the Clinton ad-
ministration, while still being heavily criti-
cized, has done more for the epidemic in
terms of increased spending on re-
search and development.
The administration Tuesday
announced a plan to marshal
forces in an effort to speed up
the AIDS fight. A 15-member
task force taken from govern-
ment, the pharmaceutical indus-
try, medicine and AIDS sufferers
is intended to accelerate discovery
of drugs to combat AIDS and cut
the red tape for approval.
Perhaps the two most im-
portant things to remember
in light of the worldwide re-
flection, is to, first of all, act
responsibly in terms of your
lifestyle choices. Don't engage
i n any sexual activity without the use
of a condom with Nonoxinal-9 and never
share hypodermic needles. Secondly, show
compassion for those who are HIV posi-
tive or have AIDS. AIDS doesn't only effect
them, it can effect you andor a loved one.
You are not immune.
Look inside yourself and find some
humaneness ? after all, we are in this to-
gether.
By Laura Wright
Holidays harbor heaps of half-baked hoopla
Since the end of the semes-
ter is just around the corner, let
me take this opportunity to wish
everyone the best of luck on ex-
ants. I am beginning to feel that
enfl-of-the-semester panic. You
know the kind that I mean? The
kind where you are so stressed
out and have so much to do that
you can't really do anything ex-
cept think about how much you
have to do and how stressed out
you are?
Holidays require that we
observe and respect
certain traditions and
those traditions, I
believe, are the reasons
why so many people
commit suicide over the
holidays.
I was
going to take
this, oppor-
tunity to re-
flect upon
the past sev-
eral months,
butmymind
is too occu-
pied to re-
in e m b e r
what's hap-
pened. I vaguely recall getting a
parking ticket
One event that is still very
clear in my memory is Thanks-
giving. On the ride home, as usual,
the traffic was from Hell and at
home, the food was same stuff-
ing, different year. My soul for
some variety!
Basically, I dread Thanks-
giving. I don't know when I
stopped watching those redun-
dant parades, realized that cran-
berry sauce is slimy and gave up
on the "day after" mall scene, but
somewhere along the way, my
holiday perception changed.
Now, I'm not knocking ev-
erything about Thanksgiving; I
think that it's still a time to be
with friends and family, a time to
III IIIM MLMMII 11 ?j,y.WIMBlaiIIPMI,BIJLiMigJWPJWS
be close to those who love you, and
a time to share a traditional turkey
dinner. I think that's great.
Unless you happen to be a
turkey. Or?as is true with me?
you are a vegetarian in a house
where no one understands or re-
spects that decision.
A friend suggested that I
mold a turkey out of tofu. This
wasn't a bad idea because it's pos-
sible to make that stuff taste like
just about any-
thing if you
know how. Un-
fortunately, I
don't and, any-
way, such an at-
tempt to break
with tradition
would have
been met with
disdain. As
usual, I put a
meager helping of turkey on my
plate but I didn't eat it.
Since I always sit at the
"children's table" (the children's
table is reserved for my 26-year-
old cousin, Kevin, my 18-year-old
sister, Lee Ann and 23-year-old me),
it was easy to fake eating meat.
After the meal, I snuck into the
kitchen and put my turkey in the
fridge with the rest of the leftovers.
All of this for the preservation of
appearances and the maintenance
of tradition.
Holidays require that we ob-
serve and respect certain traditions
and those traditions, I believe, are
the reasons why so many people
commit suicide over the holidays.
People associate a lot of complex
emotions with the memories that
are evoked during familiar holi-
day happenings.
I did notice that new holiday
traditions are taking place while
others are disappearing. For in-
stance, have you heard Adam
Sandler's turkey song? Every time
I turned on the radio last weekend,
I heard "Turkey for me, turkey for
you. Let's eat turkey in my big
brown shoe Maybe I missed it,
but I don't think that the Peanuts'
Thanksgiving special was on this
year. I hope that Adda:ns Family
Values will become a tradition; this
movie provided some of the best
Thanksgiving commentary that
I've heard in a while.
Since I remained silent and
endured the Thanksgiving thing, I
think that in order to maintain my
sanity, I will boycott all of those
Christmas traditions that cause me
so much anguish. Here are some
suggestions if you would like to do
the same.
Decorate something other
than a tree this year. How about
something that didn't have to die
first, like your refrigerator? My
exercise bike is already sporting a
string of lights. Buy ycur friends
things that they need, like grocer-
ies or text books for next semester.
Make tapes of your favorite songs
for your parents. Ask them to do
the same for you. You may gain a
greater appreciation for one an-
other. Don't buy anyone perfume,
tree ornaments, neckties or fruit-
cakes and, most importantly, don't
go to the mall.
Happy holidays and death to
those tacky little wreaths on sta-
tion wagon grills. McDonald's
makes a mean egg nog milk shake.
Ho, ho, ho.
By Brian Hall
Kevorkian aids in devaluation of human life
Something that really bothers
me is when people invent new
"rights My favorite example of
this happened earlier this year when
Illinois senator Carol Mosley Braun
came up with a "right not to be
offended Somehow this right man-
aged to elude all the great scholars of
freedom such as Locke and Mill. If
such a right really existed, most of
Senator Braun's colleagues would
be out of work, just from the times
that they haveoffended me.
Seriously though, the worst
case of this at present is a mysterious
(and ominous sounding) "right to
die" espoused by some, most no-
table Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the Michi-
gan suicide doctor. Dr. Kevorkian is
actively advocating and performing
doctor-assisted suicides, violating
Mchigan law in the process. It is his
contention that such laws are uncon-
stitutional, apparently uc'ng the
same legal reasoning which the Su-
preme Court used to find a right to
abortion in the case of Roe vs. Wade.
The invention of new rights is
the hot thing to right now, especially
because it is much easier to merely
assert that one has a right than to
honestly and intellectually argue for
your position. Trying to persuade
people intelligently involves think-
ing?not the most popular Ameri-
canpastime presently. Appealing to
theemotionsby defining anew right
ismuch easier. Itimmediatelylabels
opponents of your policy as uncar-
ing facists who would restrict per-
sonal liberty. Americans are rightly
jealous of defending civil liberties
and sympathetic to those whose
rights are trampled on.
Which, in the present case,
would be no one. No reasonable
person will deny that an individual
is best able to decide for himself
what to do with his life. If, in in-
stances of chronic pain, terminal ill-
ness or severe depression, that indi-
vidual decides to end his temporal
existence, then I know of no one who
would advocate stopping them.
However, because we tolerate a cer-
tain behavior does not mean that we
should encourage it with official sanc-
? tion by allowing others, especially
health careprofessionals, to actively
help in such suicides.
The main argument for doc-
tor-assisted suicide, namely that a
person who wishes to kill himself
should be able to so so with as little
pain and as much assurance of suc-
cess as possible, is so easy to refute
that it is not surprising that its advo-
cates hidebehind a phony right. Any
onewhodesiresinformationonpain-
less deaths can obtain it from many
sourcessuchas the Hemlock Society
orthebookFzMflExzr. These sources
provide all the relevant information
foranyonedeterminedtodohimself
in. If this information requires some
effort to find, all the better. Do we
really want to live in a society where
it is nearly effortless to kill oneself?
BeforewetakeDr. Kevorkian's
prescription to "use the dying pro-
cess" to better society, we should
consider recent reports which show
that he has had an unpleasant ob-
session with death for more than40
years. He has, in the past, stated
that convicted criminals, especially
thosewhoarieondeathrow,should
instead be used for fatal medical
experiments, which he claims
would be more useful than animal
testing (and would also probably
make the members of PETA a lot
happier). He has also said that the
medical experiments the Nazisper-
f ormed on the Jews in World War II
were not "completely negative"
and that "Jews were gassed. Arme-
nians were killed in every conceiv-
able way. They've Jews had a lot
of publicity, but they didn't suffer
as much
While Dr. Kevorkian has ev-
ery right to hold whatever contro-
versial and abhorrent ideas he
wishes, it is time for the American
media to stop giving him a forum
to push his views. Hopefully, the
tide has begun to turn against his
campaign to use the medical com-
munity to take lives instead of sav-
ingthem, thereby viola ting theoath
to "first do no harm His cam-
paign is merely the next step our
society is taking in devaluing hu-
man life. With abortion legal, we
have stated that the lives of the
unborn are not worth as much as
the rest of us.
Now Dr. Kevorkian and his
ilktellusrhatthelivesoftheoldand
ill are not of the same value. If his
view wins out, what group will be
the next to be devalued?
Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
What is going on with ECU football? Was this
another rebuilding year or was this a look at the new
Logan era? What happened to the Scud Missile attack?
Did the opposition get a hold of some Patriots or what?
I can't help but wonder where the Pirate football pro-
gram has gone. Will Steve Logan be able to find it?
I can't figure out how a team that was full of
promise and talent can go 2-9, and no one even mentions
changes in the team leadership?rmtalkingBIGchanges.
Is Steve Logan's job that secure?
Disappointing is hardly the word to describe this
season. ECU should know better that it all boils down
to money. Big time coaches recruit big time players. Big
time players and coaches play big time schedules, win
bigtime games and getmtobigtimecoriferenceswithbig
time followings. All of these in turn create big time
revenue in merchandising and at the gates.
Carlester Crumpler had an All-American perfor-
mance. JuniorSmithbrokeseveralECUrushingrecords
to make a name for himself for his upcoming senior
season. The defensive unit improved in leaps and
bounds under first year defensive coordinator Larry
Coyer. And the promising, albeit still unproven, start of
Marcus Crandell against Syracuse and Central Horida.
Steve Logan says blame youth and injuries? for a 2-9
season? Where does the coach fit in among offensive
inefficiencies (he was a dam good offensive coordinator
in 1991), turnovers and a plethora of penalties? What
happens next year if Marcus Crandell stumbles and
doesn'tperform up to rhephenomenal expectations that
have been placed on him for next season?
Two years ago, ECU was 11 -1. No one forgot that.
Since then, new coach Steve Logan has produced back to
back losing seasons (5-6 and 2-9) and declining national
respect for a once bright football future. Many ques-
tions have gone unanswered.
There are several big names out there on the
market that would be great for?EGADS? rebuilding
the pirate program. Ken Hatfield, Skip Holtz, Dick
Sheridan, David Archer and a few others are just
waiting to be snatched up by a program looking to
move up to another level. These coaches could help a
strugglingprogram to regain national recognition, top-
notch recruits, a conference affiliation, increased fan
support and maybe even winning seasons and more
bowl bids. How are we going to fill a 50,000 seat
stadium with 2-9 football teams? Attendance has
steadily declined over the past two years. Interestinthe
program has also dwindled. This program will not be
able to survive financially as an independent among
the super conferences and bowl coalitions in the de-
cades to come. We have to start taking steps now to
insure the stability and success of a football program
that promotes school spirit and pride.
I'm tired of the negative feeling I get every time I
watch the Steve Logan show and the post game inter-
views. Ifnothingelse,Iwouldliketoseeamore positive
attitude from our coach. Players like Crumpler, Smith
and Bernard Carter alwayscameacross witha positive
attitude as role models, so why can't Logan? Isn't he in
a position of power that would warrant such an atti-
tude? Iwouldliketoseethisprogramthriveonsuccess,
both athletically and academically. If Steve Logan can
reach that goal, then he should be commended. If not,
ECU must try to find out who can.

Join the Court Dancers as they entertain you during the ECU Madrigal Dinner Series, Dec. 2-5. Start the
Christmas season off with wonderful food and festive entertainment. For tickets call 757-4788.
The East Carolinian
The Christmas season festivi-
ties of England during its Golden
Age (circa 1600) will be recreated
at ECU Dec. 2-5 when ticket-hold-
ing "guests" gather in the Great
Room of Mendenhall Student
Center for the annual Madrigal
Dinners.
The Elizabethan-style feasts
offer the same kind of music and
merriment which might have
been enjoyed in a manor house of
the English Renaissance. Seating
begins for the Thursday-Satur-
day dinners at 6:45 p.m the Sun-
day dinner begins at 4:45 p.m.
- Singers, musicians and danc-
ers,along withjugglers, tumblers,
poets, minstrels, a jester, a wiz-
ard or a mime?all in Elizabethan
costume?provide the entertain-
ment. Again this year, a popular
feature is a repeat presentation of
Shakespeare's "comedic trag-
edy Pyranms and Thisbe, per-
formed by the Student Life Play-
ers and directed ty Robert Caprio
of the ECU Department of Com-
munication.
Costumed serving knaves
and wenches will provide the
guests with a choice of prime rib
or roast chicken, both traditional
English dinner. Each evening's
feast is highlighted by a salute to
the Boar's Head, wassail toasts
and a flaming dessert. Patrons of
age may bring their own unforti-
fied spirits which will be served
by wine stewards provided by
the caterer.
Presiding over the festivities
are James and Franceine Rees as
Lord and Lady of the Manor, who
are assisted by a Lord High Cham-
berlain. Each course is heralded
by a fanfare presented by a trio of
trumpeters.
Concluding each evening's
festivities is a Christmas carol
sing-along.
Dr. Brett Watson of the ECU
School of Music will direct this
year's dinner and entertainment.
Dances will be choreo-
graphed by Patricia Pertalion of
the ECU Department of Theatre
Arts. This year is the 17th season
that these perennially sold-out
dinners have been offered at
ECU.

vices.

sea
and thinking of
what might lie
down there
waiting for
you? Simon
Black's Me and
Kei'isjust such
a book.
Black
paints a picture
ofStevenJones,
a boy who re-
treats into a pri- fimmmmm
vate fantasy world after being se-
verely beaten by his father. Steven
creates Kev, an imaginary little
boy similar to Steven, to offset the
psychological damage that he has
felt. Through the story, the reader
is hard-pressed to be certain of
whether or not Kev is real or just a
figment of Steven's imagination.
Black approaches such touchy
subjects as sodomy, alcoholism
and insanity with a sleight of hand
that would have made Houdini
???M envious.
Just when

'A Christmas Carol' visits ECU
Staff Reports
The East Carolinian
A musical stage version of
the Charles Dickens classic tale,
A Christmas Carol, will be per-

ECU on Wednesday, Dec. 8.
The performance is sched-

Red Red Groovy
25
Hi
m m m
The trio Red Red Groovy was
formed three years ago in Minne-
apolis by Bret Edgar. Edgar was a
former DJ at Prince's Glam Slam
nightclub and worked in a studio
mixing tracks for local hip-hop and
house acts. He was greatly influ-
enced by the dance club and rave
scene.
His plan was to fuse a little
guitar, retro-60s ideas and pop sen-
sibilities to make the dance genre a
little more "user friendly
Edgar soon met Mike Hill, a
rave pop scene enthusiast who also
played guitar.
"I was working on the first song
for the album and I knew Mike and
I had some similar tastes in music.
So I asked him if he'd like to lay
down a guitar lick. He did. It
clicked says Edgar.
Now the foundation was made,
but there was a piece missing. A
mutual friend suggested vocalist
Lori Larson whose voice gave their
sound the pop sensibility they were
looking for.
Red Red Groovy released their
first single Another Kind of Find"
back in September.
It became an international
dance club hitwitha techno-groove
that is not so harshly taxing. They
soon followed up with a 17 track
album entitled 25.
25 melds alternative guitar,
dreamy vocals, spoken word sound
bites, acid-influenced sound bites
and some toned-down techno to
create a somewhat new sound for
the dance oriented listener.
The band is similar to many
other groups of the genre because
of their psychedelic nature, but at
the same time, the 60s textural key-
boards and guitar can be heard,
separating it from the restSixties
hippies and the 90s ravers havesome
things in common like the peace-
love idealism and a fondness for
little tabs of paper.
The band's mixture of these two
semi-compatibleerasmaybeagood
and marketable idea. So rave on.

Has TV violence hit
major fork in road?
EDITOR'S NOTE ? The latest
Anti-TV violence crusade could sweep
in newlaws. Thepublic'sgrowingfearqf
crime and increased belief that violence
seen on TV incites more people to do
violent crimes makes it likely tlmtsomeof
live measures before Congress may be-
come law. Nine measures liave been
introduced, designed to regidate vio-
lence on television.
LOS ANGELES (AP)?Televi-
sion, so fond of reruns, appears to be
the reluctant star of a deja vu drama:
the 1990s version of the on-again,
off-again outcry against TV violence.
But industry executives, public
interest groups and experts say the
swelling protest is not merely a re-
peat of the past. This time, some
hope and some fear, it will end with
new laws restricting TV program-
ming.
Political realities, the public's
growing fear of crime, a changing
television industry and sawier ac-
tivists make likely the passage of at
least some of the bills before Con-
gress.
"The issue is not going to just
fade away said William Abbott,
president of the Foundation to Im-
prove Television. "The solution this
time has to be long-term and set in
place
Thenetworksarelobbyinghard
against restrictive measures pushed
by groups such as Abbott's and by a
growing number of lawmakers. But
they concede a gloomy outlook.
"If people continue to ignore
the traditions of the First Amend-
ment, then I think it's very likely
we'll have legislation said Martin
Franks, vice president of CBS in
Washington
"Sofar,wearenotmeetingwith
rip-roaring success" in getting Con-
gress to listen to network arguments,
Franks said.
Nine measures have been intro-
duced to regulate violence on televi-
sion, including a bill to limit the
hours when violent programming
can be shown and one to make man-
datory the now-voluntary labeling
of violence.
The pressure is primarily on
thetraditionalbroadcastnetworks,
which use regulated public air-
waves for distribution of their pro-
gramming and are still the most-
watched.
Cable channels, which reach
60 percent of U.S. households, are
seen as less likely candidates for
new restrictions on violence be-
cause they are not delivered over
public airwaves and are requested
by subscribers.
The nine anti-violencebillscap
a crescendo of complaints about
TV's role in what many see as an
increasingly vulnerable America,
where even two buffoonish MTV
cartoon figures named Beavis and
Butt-head are deemed a peril to
public safety.
It is not a novel attack; from its
earliest days, critics have ques-
tioned television's influence on
society.
"Historically, every new me-
dium is treated with suspicion by
people accustomed to theoid'said
George Gerbner of the University
of Pennsylvania's Annenberg
School for Communication.
"Pulp literature, it was
thought, made workers lazy, indo-
lentand violent, "Gerbner says. "It
created a great cultural debate.
Then came comic strips, then came
motion pictures, then came radio
The potential effect on chil-
dren is always the most troubling.
In the 1950s, psychiatrist Frederic
Wertheim caused a sensation with
his argument, detailed in Seducttpn
of the Innocent, that comic books
corrupted youngsters.
The first TV networkprograrh-
ming went on the air in 1946; six
years later, in 1952, Congress held
its first hearings into the impact of
TV and radio violence on chil-
dren?prompted by concern over
increasing j avenile crime.

? in the mid-190s when
the i onbt ersy reached a high point
and the networks deckled to have
what was calkd the 'family hour "
said c Jerbner, a longtime researcher
into IV loience.
But the crafting oi an early
owning rime bk vkdevoted to family
programs was short-lived; the courts
ruled it represented network collu-
sion in violation of antitrust laws.
Soon after, cable's expansion of
the TV uni verse diminished scrutiny
of CBS, ABC and NBC; broadcasting
wasn't the only game and the re-
source of the public airwaves ap-
peared notquitesoprecious,Gerbner
said.
The networks gradually seemed
to cede the most graphic violence to
cablechannels.
Betsy Frank, senior vice presi-
dent Of Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising
in New York, calls the current fall
primerime schedule one of the most
advertiser-friendly in memory.
"In all honesty, the (broadcast)
networks probably have very little
violence on them says Edward
Donnerstein, a University of Califor-
nia professor who was co-author of a
1992-report on TV violence for the
American Psychological Association.
'Roseanne "Home Improve-
ment" and other comedies have dis-
placed action shows such as "The A-
Team" and "TJ. Hooker" that once
lured viewers.
There are about 40 sitcoms this
season and some 20 dramas?few of
those action-oriented.
(However, Gerbner contends
that broadcasting remains fairly con-
sistent in the amount of violence, with
mor$ than 50 percent of characters in
prirrjetirne TV involved in serious or
comic violence each week. Others
notekhat older network fare contin-
ues to air widely in syndication).
Although many agree the level
ofviolenceonbroadcastnetwork tele-
vision! has decreased in recent years,
pubDc concern over the issue has
grown.
A Times Mirror poll conducted
earlier this year found Americans are
increasingly disturbed by violence
on TV entertainment shows.
Fifty-nine percentsaid they were
"personally bothered" by such vio-
lence?compared to 44 percent in a
1983, poll. Eighty percent said enter-
tainment violence is "harmful" to
society, compared to 64 percent a
decaideago.

Rush continues to make legendary tunes
? 1 I PHIA(AP)?The
Rush's latest album,
-ho things that
? alone such as a nut and
rhe( D itself showcases three
other things that haven't existed
apart for the past 20 years: drum-
mer-lvricist Neal Peart, guitarist
Alex Lifeson and bassist-singer
Geddy Lee.
Peart attributes the Canadian
band's longevity to a combina-
tion of Lifeson's spontanaeity,
Lee's "melodic instinct" and "me-
ticulous passion" and his own
"obsessive drive
"We root each other and we
uproot each other said Peart,
who has written a biography of
the trio.
Rush has been pushing the
envelope of progressive rock
since its first self-titled album in
1974, combining sonic power and
intricacy with lyrical integrity and
intelligence. Lee's bass playing
hrs influenced countless musi-
cians to take the instrument out
of its strictly rhythmic role and
into a melodic one.
They've done everything
from concept albums (2112) to
live albums (All the World's a Stage,
Exit Stage Left, A Show of
Hands"). Their classic, "Tom
Sawyer from 1981 's Mewing Pic-
tures, is still one of the most re-
quested songs on rock radio. Rush
has done 18 records, including a
double disc anthology in 1990,
Chronicles.
The band s 19th effort is pared
down, less dependent on technol-
ogy and more reliant on the natu-
ral sound of guitar, bass and per-
cussion. The band brought back
Peter Collins, who had done their
more heavily produced records,
Power Windows (1985) and Hold
Your Fin 1987), but this time, they
wanted simplicity.
The formula seems to have
worked ? Counterparts debuted
at No. 2 on Billboard's album
charts, the band's highest debut-
ing album ever.
Peart is Rush's wordsmith,
and he is fascinated with the con-
cept of yin (the passive and nega-
tive female force) and yang (the
active and positive male force).
He can use a nature metaphor one
minute, a technical one the next.
He's also a disciplined writer
who favors restraint as opposed
to what he calls "unabashed emo-
tionalism
"Here's a lovely example:
people always think, 'oh, it must
be so healthy psychologically to
be a drummer because you can
just smash things all the time
Peart said. "Well, you can't. You
have to control yourself. You have
to smash them at the right time
with the right intensity and a sense
of flow. I never feel released
when I'm playing drums ? I just
feel tremendously disciplined
"Counterparts" deals with
personal issues: the nature of love

Fire"); ambition ("Cut to the

cept of the masculine animus and

But Peart says it's not con-
ventionally introspective, but
more a combination of personal
experience and imagined situa-
tions.
"That's really a style of lyri-
cism that I congenially dislike
he said with a laugh. "I'm not

Peart's mind works as deftly
as his drum patterns. He speaks

love of cycling in rapid succes-

It was the mid-1980s, and
Mukherjee wondered if she'd ever
write again. Her books weren't
selling; neither she nor her hus-
band could find a job. For a while
it seemed this descendant of an
upper-caste Indian family would
spend her last days in a rented
home in Iowa.
But anyone who has read her
Knows Mukherjee is on far more
intimate terms with survival than
she is with giving in. The weeks
following her near-suicide re-
sulted in her acclaimed collection,
The Middleman and Other Stories.
In 1989, she published a novel,
jasmine, in which the title charac-
ter endures poverty, rape, the
murder of a husband, and she
boasts at the end that she will

The author has written two
works of nonfiction and six of
fiction, the latest being the novel
Tlie Holder of the World. Mirroring
her own life, her stories tell of
immigrants in the United States
and Canada and the inevitable
cultural conflicts. They also are
classic American stories?full of
motion, escape, improvisation.
' "What's comforting about the
U.S. is how our mythology sup-
ports identity being reformulated
constantly Mukherjee said dur-
ing a recent interview.
"In India, Britain, if you're
not Anglo or not belonging to the
right race or religion, you could
have been there for 3(10 years, but
you will always be treated,
overtlv, as a guest
In' The Holder of the World,
Mukherjee offers a twist on her
earlier books; she writes of an
American woman and what hap-
pens to her once she travels to
India. The heroine, Hannah
Easton, transforms from an or-
phan raised in a Puritan house-
hold to a rebel?"neither wife nor
queen"?striding into the
enemy's war camp.
Easton was born in 1670, in
the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Her father was killed by a bee and
her mother ran off with a Nipmuc
Indian. Hannah is left on the door-
step of a traditional New England
family and handed down wisdom
on how to be an "agreeable bride
and efficient helpmeet
At age 21, her life abruptly
changes when a dashing, one-
eyed seafarer arrives from Lon-
don, asks permission to court her
and proposes marriage. They
move to India, and she becomes
known as the "Salem Bibi"?mis-
tress to a Rajah, hostage of an
Emperor.
The Holder of the World is
Mukherjee's attempt to change
how Americans think about his-
tory. India is revealed as a coun-
try of profound influence on early
settlers. Hannah lives as danger-
ously ? and as bravely?as the
more famous male characters of
classic American fiction.
The Holder of the World is pub-
lished by Alfred A. Knopf and
has a suggested retail price of $22.

typical ot much ot Dickens'
writing, A Christmas Carol was
based on the prolific novelist's
idealistic beliefs in the unity of
humanity, the necessity of good
w ill and generosity in human con-
duct and kindness to children and
to the poor.
This year marks the 105th an-
niversary of the first publication
of the book, which is considered
Dickens' best known and most
beloved storv. Despite the fact that
A Christmas Carol was written to
help relieve enormous financial
pressure on its author and that he
spent an inordinate amount of
time and trouble perfecting it,
Dickens insisted that the book be
nicelv packaged by its publisher
and sold for only five shillings
per copv.
The Bill Fegan troupe has pre-
sented its Christmas Carol produc-
tions many times during the past
16 years. "We salute the success
of the storv and hope it continues
to touch people's lives and give
them an enjoyable break from the
normal hustle and bustle of the
holiday season commented a
company official.
Advance tickets for A Christ-
mas Carol are SI 5 each for the gen-
eral public, $12 for ECU faculty
and staff and $8 for ECU students
and youth. All tickets sold at the
door will be $15. Tickets are now
on sale at the ECU Central Ticket
Office in Mendenhall Student
Center. Orders may be charged to
major credit cards by mail or by
phone (757-4788 or long distance,

Black talks about a state of
mind that is half-lie and half-truth,
comparing it to the red and black
ribbon of an old typewriter. One
can never go entirely into the red
or the black, because doing so
leaves behind too many unan-
swered questions. Through this
analogy, Black captures perfectly
the indecisiveness of the human
race, focusing on the mystery of
the human mind and its complexi-
ties.
Through Steven, Black ques-
tions reality as mankind com-
monly accepts it. What is real and
what is not? What is normal and
what is abnormal? All of us have
heard voices inside our head. Is
Steven's Kev any different? Black
never answers these questions for
the reader, wisely knowing that
one answer may not satisfy all.
Again, the world is a mix, neither
all red nor all black.
Me and Kev will, if nothing
else, cause readers to stop and
think for a minute. This book
should be read three or four times
so that the reader can grasp its
many hidden levels of meaning.
On the surface, Me and Kev
emerges as a disturbing book. Peel
away the outer layer, however,
and you will discover another
layer, and another, and another
like an onion that will make you
cry.

Laimbeer ready to pack
his bags and move on
RICHFIELD, Ohio (AP) ?
Bill Laimbeer, whose flying el-
bows helped give the Detroi t Pis-
tons their "bad boy" image in the
late 1980s, may be through with
basketball.
"I won't deny it. How about
that?" Laimbeer said Tuesday
night when asked about reports
that he planned to retire yester-
day. "That's basically all I'm go-
ing to say right now
Laimbeer has been troubled
by an aching back, which kept
him out of Tuesday night's gn me
against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Radio station WJR in Detroit
reported that three sources said
Laimbeer would announce his
retirement today. The radio sta-
tion didn't name the sources.
Coach Don Chaney said to-
day that team officials had tried
unsuccessfully in recent weeks
to talk Laimbeer out of his plans
to retire.
"We tried to team up on him
and we all took shots at him to try
to talk him out of it Chaney
told WWJ-radio in Detroit this
morning. But, he said Laimbeer
resolved that, "with all things
considered, it was best that he
step down
The Pistons scheduled a news
conference for 2:30 p.m. Spokes-
man Matt Dobek refused to con-
firm or deny that Laimbeer would
announce his retirement or that
he would even attend.
Laimbeer, 36, suited up for
the Pistons' game against the
Cavaliers, but did not play.
In the fourth quarter of the
Pistons' 92-74 loss, theCleveland
crowd chanted, "We want Bill
"I heard them Laimbeer
said. "We were talkingabouthow
I should stand up and fake going
to the scorer's table
The 6-foot-ll Laimbeer had
started the previous five games
and averaged 12.7 points per
game in his last six. He is averag-
ing 9.8 points this season.
"It's a complete surprise. I
had no idea said Boston's Rob-
ert Parish, who was suspended
several years ago for punching
Laimbeer during a playoff game.
"He'd had some good games. I
think he had a 25-pointer last
week
Laimbeeraveraged indouble
figures for nine consecutive sea-
sons from 1982-83 through 1990-
91, and last season he became the
19th player in NBA history to
reach 10,000 points and 10,000
rebounds.
"Before thegame, he just said
he wanted to do other things in
life teammate Terry Mills said.
"Hesaid hecouldn'tstillgiveup
his body and do things the way
he likes to do them. He's going
out the right way
Laimbeer is the Pistons' ca-
reer leader in rebounds and
games played, and he led the
NBA in rebounding in 1985-86,
averaging 13.1 per game.
"He played a long time Do-
minique Wilkins of the Atlanta
Hawks said. "He won't be
missed, that's for sure. I had
plenty of run-ins with him
Laimbeer reportedly had
considered quitting after he and
teammate Isiah Thomas got in a
fight at practice Nov. 16. Thomas
broke his right hand when he
punched Laimbeerln the back of
the head.
"We love each other. That's
the bottom line, and that won't
ever change Laimbeer said the
day after the fight.
A product of Notre Dame,
Laimbeer was chosen by Cleve-
land in the third round of the
1979 draft, then spent the 1979-
80 season playing in Italy before
joining the Cavaliers for most of
two seasons.
Cleveland traded him to De-
troit in February 1982 as part of a
deal involving four players and
two draft choices.
He was selected to the All-
Star team four times and helped
Detroit win NBAchampionships
in 1989 and'90.
"He's one of those guys ev-
ery fan outside of Detroit hates
Jeff Hornacek of the Philadelphia
76ers said. "But if you're from
Detroi t, you have to love the guy.
Being a shooter, I'd love to play
with a guy like that. I have no
idea why he'd call it quits at this
point in the season. I guess he
didn't see the Pistons going to
the playoffs
Chaney would not con-
firm Laimbeer's retirement
plans.
"There's been rumors of him
retiring all year, and he's still
here Chaney said. "That's
something I can't do anything
about, anyway. Even in training
camp, there was speculation, but

Buies Creek (SID) ? Beth
Stockwell matched her career
high with 27 points and added 10
rebounds to lead Campbell Uni-
versity to an 81-62 women's bas-
ketball win over East Carolina
Tuesday night at Carter Gymna-
sium in the season opener for
both teams.
Susan Bess-Gilkerson added
12 points and a career-high 10
rebounds for the Lady Camels,
while a senior guard Amy Nigro
canned 18 points, 11 in the sec-
ond period.
Stockwell, a sophomore from
Douglas, Ga made 10-of-22 field
goals and hit 7-of-9 free throws
for the Lady Camels.
Despite taking the floor with
only eight available players due
to injuries, Campbell defeated
ECU for only the third time in 22
meetings in the series. The 19-
point victory was a 1st) the largest
for Campbell over a Lady Pirate
squad.
Stockwell scored 17 points in
the opening period as CU took a
43-25 halftime advantage. ECU,
however, opened the second half
with a 12-3 run to trim the mar-
gin to 46-37.
Tracy Kelley's short jumper,
Danielle Charlesworth's layup
and two free throws by Keliey
brought ECU within 55-51 with
11:30 remaining, but the Lady
Pirates could draw any closer.
After Justine Allpress's layup
cut theCampbell margin to59-53
with 10 minutes to play,
Ca m pbel 1 went on a 22-4 run over
the next 8:57 to seal the victory.
Nigro scored six points in the
flurry while Debbie Knight
added five to give Campbell an
81-57 margin.
Sophomore Chrystal Smith
handed out a career-high 13 as-
sists for Campbell, which plays
again next Tuesday (November
7) at home against Barton Col-
lege in a 7 p.m. tipoff.
Charlesworth led East Caro-
lina with 15 points on 6-of-12
shooting. Temekia Blackmon
contributed 14 points and seven
rebounds before foulingout with
1:04 to play. Keliey added 10

West Virginia hoping to play in Sugar Bowl
CHARLESTON, W.Va.(AP)?
High-ranking West Virginia offi-
cials appear to be leaning toward
playing in the Sugar Bowl, while
the Cotton Bowl is said to be heavily
pursuing the Mountaineers.
But Mountaineer players, with-
out whom West Virginia (11-0)
wou'dn't be undefeated, ranked
third in the country and poised to
accept a major bowl bid, have their
own ideas.
"Ideally, weshould play Notre
Dame in the Sugar Bowl said West
Virginia senior linebacker Wes
Richardson.
But that's not an option, since
the Sou theastern Conference cham-
pion, either No. 9 Florida (9-2) or
No. 16 Alabama (8-2-1), is ensured
one spot in the Sugar.
"Since the bowl coalition
doesn1allow(aWVU-NotreDame

system is screwed upRichardson
said. "With all the controversy, it
could be cleared up with us playing
Notre Dame
Richardson was referring to the
dispute over national champion-
ship possibilities. If the Mountain-
eers win, they believe they should
be considered for No. 1 because
they haven't lost.
The Mountaineers believe
they could stake an undisputed
claim to the title by beating the.
Irish and having No. 1 Florida

irritated Bettman said. "I need the

Don Meehan needs the approval of
his members.
"We'll try to accomplish that

well, the officials will be back on the

the league and the NHL Offi-

they have consulted their members.
Referee Terrv Gregson, the

"I'm pleased said Gregson,
who promised to reach all of the
58 officials.

Brooks had outscored the op-
position at one point this season,
but nagging injuries kept him off
the field late in the year. He did
score three touchdowns in the first
four games while opponents had
managed two touchdowns.
The Seminoles were also the
best defensive team in the league
by more than 40 yards a game.
Brooks finished the regular sea-
son with a flexible cast on his arm
as Florida State knocked off
Florida to keep alive its chances
for the national championship.

Under the old agreement, first-
year referees earned $50,000 a year
while rookie linesmen earned $33,000.
The league offered referees a 29
percent salary increase and l inesmen
a 26 percent hike. The officials origi-

but have reportedly agreed to accept

improved pensions, severance pay

? Florida and Florida State are
within two hours, meaning an NFL
expansion franchise will be com-
peting for fans with two national
championship contenders.
All that made the selection an
upset.
"I'm not surprised about any-
thing said Ralph Wilson, owner
of the Buffalo Bills. "You never go
into any meeting with a predeter-
mined view
The vote may lead to more flux.
The Los Angeles Ra ms, Cincin-
nati Bengals and New England Pa-
triots all have indicated they might
move. Baltimore is interested in the
Rams and St. Louis in the Patriots,
largely because of Orthwein, who
took over New England as a favor
to the league.
Tagliabue downplayed that.
"We will follow our normal
process for moving teams he said,
citing rules which require owners
to show that they can do better in a
new territory than their own. He

the only place West Virginia and
Notre Dame are squaring off is be-
hind the scenes in bowl negotia-
tions, where both universities ap-
pear to be fighting for a spot in the
lucrative Sugar Bowl.
"Everybody wants Notre
Dame a source close to the bowl
negotiations said Tuesday. "Their
TV ratings are light years ahead of
everyone in college football
Everybody might want Notre
Dame, but the Sugar Bowl still will
need some help from pollsters to
get the Irish.
The way the bowl coalition's
poll currently shakes out, the Cot-
ton Bowl gets first choice and will
likely extend the bid to the Moun-
taineers, who just as likely will
refuse.
Cotton Bowl executive direc-
tor Rick Baker said those two
moves will be all that's needed to
seal the Sugar and Cotton pair-
ings.
"The Big East champion and
ACC champion and Notre Dame
must play in the Orange, Suga r or
Cotton unless it's 1 vs.2 Baker
said. "So obviously if West Vir-
ginia passes (over the Cotton) to
the Sugar Bowl, again there is no
other option
Under tha t scenario, West Vir-
ginia Would play Saturday's Ala-
bama-Florida winner and earn
$4.15 million from theSugar. Notre
Dame would play No. 7 Texas
A&M (10-1) in the Cotton, which
pays out S3 million per team.
But there's a different possi-
bility that could reverse thedesti-
nationsofWest Virginia and Notre
Dame.
Under it, Florida would blud-
geon Alabama and climb higher
in tne coalition rankings than
Texas A&M, thereby winning first
choice for the Sugar. In that case,
the Sugar might choose West Vir-
ginia when the pairings are offi-
cially ex tended Sunday, or it might
op. f'or NotreDameand the Irish's
powerful TV following.
Sugar executive director Troy
Mathieu declined to say who his
bowl favors.
