Science, math graduates form an alumni association
The N.C. School of Science and Mathematics has always taken
pride in the fact that it's not like any other high school in the state.
That assurance was bolstered when the NCSSM board of trustees
approved the school's first alumni association, a rarity for Tar Heel
high schools. Now the committee that worked to organize the asso-
ciation will ask the alumni for the go-ahead. Little opposition is
expected. After all, the alumni got the ball rolling. The Alumni
Association of the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics is the
brainchild of Leonardi, the first graduate to teach at the school. She
broached the idea with alumni who are friends. About 18 months
ago, they formed an organizational committee to set up bylaws for
the association and even started a newsletter to drum up support.
The graduates will have the final say June 4, the school's annual
Alumni Day.
High School scientists crack code for cancer genes
Maybe other teenagers like to hang out at the mall after school.
Not Yu-Fong Hong and Li Ho. They've been busy mapping cancer-
related genes, becoming two of the youngest researchers in a global
effort to crack the human genetic codes. What Hong, 17, and Ho, 16,
did was map three cancer-related genes to specific chromosomes,
groundwork that could help other scientists looking for the basis of
a particular cancer. Hong and Ho are juniors at California High
School in San Ramon, about 30 miles east of San Francisco. Ho and
: Hong logged 80 hours in the lab, checking and rechecking methods
and results. Finally, the day came when they looked at a copied
sample, trapped in a slice of clear gel, under ultraviolet light. There,
they feasted their eyes on the first step to success, bits of DNA
. glowing salmon pink. Charting their findings on a special graph, the
two were able to match the genes to a specific chromosome. The
genes had been sequenced, meaning their DNA has been studied, but
not mapped. The genes' products are involved in regulating cell
division, the process that causes cancer if it runs amok.
Boy, 10, receives bachelor's degree
Ten-year-old Michael Kearney got his bachelor's degree in
anthropology Sunday, apparently making him the youngest college
graduate. He wants his parents to give him a car for his accomplish-
ments, and figures by the time he is old enough to drive it, he will
have a master's degree. Michael graduated with honors from the
University of South Alabama. He finished withagradepointaverag

As we all know by now, Monday was
the 50th anniversary of D-Day, the Allied
invasion of Normandy. While no doubt
many of us are tired of all the seemingly
endless hype and TV specials surrounding
the event, such occasions serve important
purposes in our society, other than giving
members of the media something to cover.
First, it reminds us, or at least it should,
that our senior citizens were all once our
age, that they once faced all the obstacles we
do. They once had the same dreams of
accomplishing great things. They once
wondered if they would ever find a job.
These citizens can be one of our greatest
resources if only we would learn to draw
upon their wisdom and experience.
Second, it makes us remember the many
men and women (who are all too often
forgotten; there are six nurses buried at
Normandy) who fought and died to defeat
the enemies of freedom and protect our
liberties. These brave soldiers, sailors and
airmen faced incredible dangers, risking
everything, and far too many did not return.
Yet President Clinton is right when he
said Monday that "these men saved the
world The importance of the Normandy
invasion is almost impossible to overstate.
Had the attempt failed, the contest in Europe
might well have been over which of the two
most repugnant regimes of the 20th century
would control Europe. Instead, their victory
allowed the preservation of freedom in
Western Europe, and the eventual end of
conditions came about, without which
solutions can be difficult to find. It also
provides a foundation for defending the
freedoms which we all enjoy and take for
granted.
As the president said, these men were
"the heroes we can never repay All we,
who have benefited so much from the
sacrifice of those who have gone before us,
can do is to keep their memory alive. We are
also obligated to "expand freedom's reach
forward as the president said.
This is the only way we can even attempt
to pay these men and women back for the
priceless gift which they have left to us. We
must now take the baton, and carry forward
the work which was begun those many
years ago, on the deadly beaches in the
north of France.

Grad school like a beast, kills, eats its young
Administration faces potential Korean crisis
The United States, along with
the rest of the international
community, continues to monitor
the "nuclear issue" in North
Korea, while an unlikely ally,
communist China, is the key to
stabilizing the situation.
What has Nor Korea got
that frightens the United Nations,
and galls the US.The Associated
Press circulated a story Saturday,
June 4 that speculated North
Korea had nuclear capabilities,
but did not yet have a warhead.
By the same token, however, the
CIA believes that the Koreans
have enough materials, such as
plutonium, for one or two nuclear
devices.
Theoretically, North Korea
could launch a strike on
neighboring South Korea, or even
on nearby Japan, inflicting heavy
casualties on these densely
populated countries. This is
unlikely, considering the US
maintains defense accords with
both nations and currently has
36,000 troops stationed in the
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), but
it is nonetheless possible.
Some commentators have
compared the current regime in
Pyongyang to Saddam Hussein's
Iraq in 1990. Like Hussein, the
Koreans may be willing to test
the resolve of the US, and the
Clinton administration, which is
still finding its way in foreign
affairs.
Clinton is viewed around the
world as a wimp, much like
former President Bush before the
Gulf War. In fact, the two rivals
are quite similar in style, if not
substance. Like Bush, Clinton
approaches foreign issues with
hesitance, waiting for the world
to form an opinion, before
forming one of his own.
Bush is credited with having
expertise in foreign policy, and
indeed, it may well have been his
strong suit. He was not, however,
the genius in international affairs
thatsome claim he was. He usually
took the lead of Britain's Margaret
Thatcher, and too often he allowed
Secretary of State James Baker to
make the crucial decisions.
Sen. John McCain, RAriz
nota as a dove on Bosnia and
Haiti, as well as more hawkish
members of Congress, call for
preemptive action in North Korea
and belittle the Clinton team for a
failure to act. Appearing on CBS's
"Face the Nation McCain said,
"The administration has
performed so far in the highest
traditions of Neville
Chamberlain referring to the
British prime minister accused of
appeasing Adolph Hitler prior to
World WarU.
Much of this criticism is, of
course, partisan hot air. Sen. Bob
Dole, RKan for instance, is one
of Clinton's strongest critics, and
is thought to be considering a run
for president in 1996. It would
obviously be beneficial to claim
more experience in foreign matters
than the sitting president.
(Personally, I believe Dole will
pass on running in 1996. With his
current attacks, he is only trying
keep the pressure on Clinton only
in his role as Minority Leader.)
Economic sanctions against
the North Koreans seem to be the
favored course of action, though
some supporters question their
effectiveness. Sanctions are the
traditional favorite of the UN,
though, and an overextended and
war-weary Security Council
would be reluctant to endorse
anything tougher.
Therein lies the problem. The
US prefers that the UN take the
lead in the Korean conflict. In order
to do that, the Security CounoJ,
consisting of the US China,
Russia, Great Britain and France,
must vote unanimously to act; a
veto by any one of the members is
sufficient to halt an action.
Communist North Korea has
few friends in the world, but
communist China Is one of its best.
In addition to angering its ally
should sanctions be enacted,China
would stand to lose a bundle in
trade with Korea if it voted for
sanctions. On the other hand,
China dearly benefits from a nuke-
free Korean peninsula.
Would China be willing to join
the world in condemning its
partner, or at least acquiesce to
world opinion? Surprisingly, the
answer may be yes.
The Clinton administration
pondered at length the decision to
extend to China Most Favored
Nation (MFN) trading status to
China, in the wake of its continued
abuses of human rights. After a
series of trips by Secretary of State
Warren Christopher to Beijing,
Clinton offered MFN without
much fanfare.
It is not farfetched to believe
that in exchange for MFN, the US
will get China's cooperation
concerning North Korea. Perhaps
Christopher even talked Beijing
into leaning onits smaller neighbor
to give up the arms race.
If this turns out to be true, and
China is able to force Korea to
back down, Christopher should
be issued a public apology from
the State Department officials who
called for his resignation last year,
and from fair weather Democrats
who rarely supported him in the
past, and who continue to criticize
him today.
Clinton made a wise choice
with the experienced, albeit
boring, Christopher, and his
expertise in Middle East politics
has already produced one peace
agreement involving Israel and
another one is expected in the near
future. Who knows, with a few
more treaties around the world,
Clinton may be able to run in '96
on his foreign as well as his
domestic policies.
I think that it's safe to say
that I had no idea what I was
getting into when I started
graduate school. Like everyone
else, I had somewhat figured out
what it was that I wanted (a job). I
just had not really planned, or
thought about, what was going to
be expected of me as a graduate
student once I got both feet into
the program. I really don't think
anyone can predict what it's going
to be like, you just have to
experience it for yourself.
It gets suicidal. It really does,
and I know it doesn't get that way
just for me. I have other friends,
both in my program, and in other
programs in graduate school, and
we're all going through pretty
much the same experiences; too
much to do, with too little time in
which to do it, plus extracurricular
work that is supposed to support
our ongoing school work.
It's not that I think the faculty
and professors in our programs
are cruel people. Not at all. Even
professor I know seems to have
more work piled on them than
they can possibly finish, and yet
they get it all done, the same as the
students, somehow, and at the end
of each semester you feel like ten
linebackers roughed you up, and
left you laying in an alley. But you
get back up, and you push on, and
that's what makes the difference
between you and everyone else.
Whatever else tha t happens, when
you lose that will to keep going,
you've lost it all.
There comes a time in every
student's career when its just
seems to be impossible, that there
is no possible way around this
new boundary (like maybe Math
1065, or Latin IV, or Chemistry, or
maybe some other, personal
problem). You start to feel like
giving up. I feel that way often,
even now, as far as I've come. At
times it just doesn't seem worth it
any more.
It will be worth it though. We
must keep reminding ourselves
that. even when we have no logical
explanation, or examples to use
for why it will be. We must use
ourselves as examples. We must
become the pathfinders, when
there doesn't seem to be anyone
who has gone before us, who has
forged a way ahead for us.
Sometimes you just have to trek
on through the brush, even when
there's no clear path.
You see, I have no real idea
where I'm going, even after all
this time, but I do know I'm going
somewhere, which is always better
than standing still. Sometimes,
when that's all you have to go on,
it will just have to do.
Graduate school is hell,
which is not to say that
undergraduate classes aren't
either. Many of mine were, as I'm
sure many of yours are too. Don't
give up. I guess I'm saying that to
both of us. If we give up, we'll just
go back to what we know is behind
us, even though at times that may
seem like the safest alternative.
What's behind us, though, are low-
level jobs that will forever limit
our ability to create, to imagine.
If we can stick it out, we will
have the power and the ability to
create our own future, to choose
the path that we want to take. It's
like deciding whether or not to
climb a mountain. If you choose
not to, at least you know what it's
like down at the bottom: safe and
secure. If you do choose to climb,
however, it's a long, uphill fight,
but only those who choose to do
so will get to see that view from
the top, and God only knows
what's up there, unless we find
out for ourselves.
Letters to the Editor
Editor's note: There were several inadvertent errors in Mr. Hill's letter in last week's edition of The East
Carolinian,or which the Editor appologizes. The letter should have appeared as below:
To the Editor:
The Jews in Europe could not defend
themselves from Hitler's genocide ? they were
unarmed. East European nations behind the Iron
Curtain attempted to rebel on .numerous occasions
but failed ? they were unarmed. The courageous
1989 Tiananmen Square protesters in China were
brutally suppressed. Can you guess why?
Our Founding Fathers were aware that the
most well-intentioned of governments could become
tyrannical. To insure that the governed could alter or
abolish the government if it proved destructive of the
ends for which it was created, the right to keep and
bear arms was given a high place in our Bill of Rights.
Indeed, while I disagree with most of the tenets of
China's Chairman Mao, I concur with his belief that
all power comes from the barrel of a gun. As horrible
as that may sound to the more timid members of our
society, history attests to its validity. Benjamin
Franklin asserted that those who would give up
personal liberties for temporary safety deserved
neither. While searching for a "magic pill" to the
crime problem, Americans are doing exactly what
Franklin warned against. Our crime problem lies in
people, not the weapons they choose. Legislation
banning certain weapons will do nothing to alleviate
crime, but it will infringe on our rights. The
Constitution our political leaders swore to preserve
is being destroyed.

To the Editor:
The institutions of learning have forsaken God.
This present evil world reflects this gross departure
that is becoming more evident each day.
I am not a prophet, yet I realize this nation and
the world needs someone to pronounce curses on it
to WAKE THIS WORLD UP and bring it to its senses.
In God's name, I curse the top 100 people
involved with the Abortion Movement. May they be
stricken with the plagues that they have earned and
truly deserve for advocating the butchering of
defenseless innocent children.
In God's name, may these plagues be of such an
evil nature that it will deter others from wanting to
follow them. And may God avenge the death of all
these aborted children and destroy all the wicked
people involved for their good and for the world's
good.
May God back my words up and put true Godly
fear on this world again.

Opinion Page Supplement
By Maureen Rich
By Laura Wright
Biking in Greenville dangerous to the health
The weather was perfect last
week, aside from the 99 percent
humidity and the blazing sun
beating down on my back, when I
decided to go for a nice, leisurely
bike ride.
I don't mean a ride on one of
those stationary exercise bikes,
although perhaps that's what I
need to invest in. I'm talking about
two wheels on the open road facing
an army of vehicles with twice,
sometimes nine times, as many
wheels on their modes of
transportation as mine.
My attempt at riding a bike to
get in shape was a well-intentioned
idea that blew up in my face.
I don't understand it. How do
people doit? My whole hour-long
trip was one huge, sweaty disaster.
I ended up fearing for the very life
I was trying to improve. I'll need
either thirty hours of aerobic
exercise, or years of therapy, to
relieve the stress that ride caused
me.
. My tragedy began as I
foolishly wandered outside of my
littte apartment complex parking
lot. What a dumb mistake that
was ? I should have just ridden
around in circles in the safety of
my parking lot.
. Immediately, I was swept
away with the rest of the traffic
flying through the streets of
Greenville. Fear slowly crept into
my heart as I encountered obstacle
after obstacle.
Take left turns, for example.
How do you turn left? Traffic
regulations tell bike riders to obey
all traffic signals and rules of the
road. So, does that mean I need to
get in the turning lane to take a
left? Somehow, the idea of sitting
in the middle of the road with
Huge engines revving behind me
does not appeal to me. Therefore,
when faced with an intersection, I
did the only wise thing: I took a
right.
After fifteen minutes of right
turns, I wound up back at my point
of origin. Feeling ridiculous yet
slightly more daring, I went Tor
the big left turn. It was stressful,
but I made it through unscathed. I
was then on a real road, a big road
with a speed limit much more than
15 miles per hour, which, believe
me, I was nowhere near, anyway.
My question at that point
became, "Is my life in serious
danger of ending right now?"
Apparently, unbeknownst to me,
a game exists in the minds of
drivers. They compete to see who
can come the closest to hitting bike
riders without actually touching
them. It must be a fun game,
because it seemed quite popular.
Now, I can hear all the drivers
of the world gasping in
indignation at this theory. I can
relate, because I drive, too.
In fact, I've occassionally
cringed when I see a bike rider up
ahead. I don't mean them any
harm, I just wish they weren't
there. No one wants a bike as a
hood ornament. I hope.
Well, my trip continued ? at
a much slower pace as I progressed
? and I started to have blurred
vision. At least, I thought I had
blurred vision. It might have been
the fact that I was being passed
repeatedly by real bikers going at
quite a fast pace.
I call them real bikers because
they exuded "real-bikerness
Biker shorts, helmets, water bottles
galore, and a hunched over,
intense posture that told me that I
had better get the hell out of their
way. So I did. About every ten
seconds. I expected to be passed
any second by the elderly lady
often seen riding throughout
Greenville with her flowing skirts,
professional helmet and big bike
basket. You get an idea as to how
fast I was going.
I figured out pretty quickly
that bike riding just wasn't for me.
Too much debris in the road, too
many already-in-shape cyclists
and not enough lemonade stands
along my journey. After only half
an hour of slow-motion pedaling I
was completely exhausted and
aching all over. And I still had to
turn around and ride home.
I thought of all the people I
knew who lived along the way
and contemplated begging for a
ride home, but my pride kicked in.
I imagined carrying my bike
aboard a bus, but I was broker
than broke. Finally, I did the only
thing left that I could do. I stopped
by the side of the road and
pretended to fix a shaky gear while
trying to quell my
hyperventilation and rest my
weary legs. Hey, I had to maintain
some sort of dignity.
My reason for sharing all of
this humiliation with our readers
is this: I firmly believe that a
separate road system ? and not
just those silly little bike trails that
end up nowhere?should be built
immediately, for the sake of bike
riders everywhere. Traffic and
bikes just don't mix, so I'm calling
upon society in general to
segregate the wheels. Bikes and
cars are not the same, and they
belong apart.
I learned a lot from that
scorching afternoon. I learned to
appreciate life in general, and my
car especially. The worst part is
dea ling with a boyfriend who rides
15 to 30 miles four times a week at
an average speed of 15 miles per
hour, and returns looking relaxed,
refreshed and quite fit. Kind of
blows my whole theory to pieces,
doesn't it?
Racial tensions lie in wait below the surface
Ah, Greenville.
The other day, a friend of mine
stated that Greenville has all of the
negatives of a big city, without
any of the positives. By this
statement, I think that he meant
that Greenville has all of the cri me
of a larger place without any of the
social or cultural benefits of big
city life.
Before I moved here, another
friend, who has lived here all of
his life, told me that Greenville
had a serious amount of drug-
related crime. I sort of pshawed
this notion, claiming a holier-than-
thou attitude. I stated that I was
from the bustling metropolis of
Greensboro, and that the severity
of the crime problem in Greenville
was probably minimal.
Now I feel differently. After
hearing about random shootings
and crack houses, I have noticed a
tendency to marginalize the crime
problem by stating that these
crimes are "drug-related Such
statements are most often made
by white community members, in
order to soothe the worried minds
of other white community
members. In the minds of many
whites, I think that the phrase
"crime within the black
community" could be substituted
for "drug-related crime
In the past, I have steered clear
of certain issues because I have
been insecure in my ability to
correctly articulate my point of
view. Racial issues have been
among that lot. I suppose this
avoidance results in part from a
sense of so-called "white middle-
class guilt and in part from a
sense of abstract fear of being
misunderstood (also fear of death
threats from people who feel that
"Rush is Right"). So, I proceed
with caution.
Considering the fact that the
black community is
underrepresented in local (not to
mention statewide, not to mention
national . . .government,
Greenville's crime problem does
not get the attention that it needs.
It gets dismissed by whites as "not
our problem When it does get
attention, it seems to be surface
attention. Token attention.
The roots of crime in
Greenville run deeper than the tern
"drug-related" can express. Racial
tension abounds in the South ?
with good reason ? and
Greenville exemplifies a
somewhat intolerant southern
mindset. There is a long history of
oppression that pervades modern
reality. Greenville functions much
like other southern towns, under
a system of unspoken segregation.
The black and white communities
function separately, but because
the black community is at a
political and social disadvantage,
these two seemingly independent
microcosms effect one another in
negative ways.
We claim that we have
achieved racial equality, but a
drive around Greenville should
be enough to indicate otherwise.
By claiming that drug-related
crime is a black problem, and
therefore not a white concern, the
white community remains
oblivious to the larger system of
inequality that exists, and has
existed, in Greenville for a long
time.
And things are getting worse
and worse every day. The
atmosphere feels like a powder
keg. I think that there are slight
indications of danger, small
warning signals, all the time, but it
may take something major to make
us believe that racial inequality is
everybody's problem.
Forgive me if I sound like a
public service announcement.
Reverend Jesse Jackson and
Congresswoman Eva Clayton
came to Greenville this past
Sunday and spoke to the
congregation of a black church.
They encouraged black
community members to register
and vote. They advocated a united
front against drugs and violence
in the black community.
Most importantly, though,
they called for a change in
collective thinking. Just because
things have been presented to us
as etched in stone doesn't
necessarily mean that Ihey are.
Conservative thinking doesn't
benefit anyone, black or white, in
terms of the racial powder keg. It
would be nice if we could convince
ourselves that we have to work
together in order to rectify a
situation that effects us all, but I
am doubtful. Peaceful revolution
would be ideal, but I'm preparing
for an explosion.

NC Parrotheads 'Buffetted' at Walnut Creek
Outdoor festivities in the parking lot of the Jimmy Buffet shows
have proven to be as much of a draw as the concerts themselves
Photo Courtaay ot MargwItavW Roconte
Margaritas,
Carribbean
hamburgers, fins and Jimmy Buffett tunes were abound at Walnut Creek thb past Saturday as the
folk music icon entertained thousands. Buffett thrilled the crowd with old and new songs alike.
By Steve Griffin
Staff Writer
The Annual Jimm luffett
concert has become tht biggest
summer party around North
Carolina ever since he has added
a third show to the weekend.
There are only three cities in the
country inwhichBuffett performs
three consecutive nights, Raleigh
is one of them.
It is a weekend full of cheese-
burgers, margaritas, fins and
whatever else comes to mind
whenone thinksof Jimmy Buffett.
I had a chance to attend the
Saturday show (which some say
is the best, because the audience
has a full day and night to enjoy
the show). What makes this con-
cert different from any other is
the party before it in the parking
lot. Buffett tailgating gives ev-
eryone a chance to show off their
Key West attire and get prepared
for the big show.
Getting prepared includes
grilling out cheeseburgers,
drinking lots of beer and
margaritas and singing some old
Buffett tunes along with friends.
The "Buffett attire" includes Ha-
waiian shirts, some wild looking
hats and putting a big shark fin
. a the topsof cars. This year, the
fins on the cars seemed to be the
big attraction. I even saw a man
with a full shark fin outfit. An-
other tailgate attraction was a
band, The Iguanas, playing in
the parking lot.
The show began around
8 p.m. Buffett started off with a
song from his new album. The
crowd seemed to enjoy this song,
but were ready for some old fa-
vorites like "Volcano which
turned out to be his next song. A
volcano was displayed in the back
of the stage, ?
complete with
erupting lava.
The next
couple of
songs got the
crowd imme-
diately into
the show, be-
ginning with
Buffett's im-
pressive ver-
sion of
"Brown Eyed
Girl" and the
classic song
"Fins As the
sun went
down and
night fellonWalnutCreek, Buffett
told the crowd he was ready to
play his version of a love song,
"Why don't We Get Drunk and
Screw Everyone sang along to
this one, which was one of the
better played songs of the night.
Buffett then went into some
of his new songs, which was the
down part of the show. My only
complaint of the whole show was

New book gives fat fads on fast f i
?:?:?
By Patricia Dally
Staff Writer
Is what you want really what
you get at McDonald's today, or is
it more fat, calories and sodium
than you bargained for? Does Ken-
tucky Fried Chicken really "do
chicken right?" Should you "run
for the border" after eating at Taco
Bell?
Surprisingly, in today'shealth-
consdous, high-paced society, fast
fcraihasbecomeawayoflife.People
do not possess the time or energy to
ccokahealthymealatlunch or after
a long day at work. Fast food, which
isrelativelyinexpensive,also meets
the needs of those who live under
the constraints of a budget.
True, fast food is fast, easy and
economical, but how much nutri-
tional value are people sacrificing
for the luxury of a quick, no-mess
meal?
Author and registered dietitian
MarionFranz sets the record straight
with her new bestseller. Fast Food
Facts.
The book contains nutritional
information on lOOdeliciousmenu
items from 37 of the most popular
burger-flipping, chicken-frying,
pizza-spinning,fry-tossingfastfood
chains in the United States.
It includes comprehensive
charts and data on fat (saturated
and unsaturated), cholesterol, calo-
ries, sodium and everything else
one might want to know about fa-
vorite fast food vittles.
Also included is dietetic infor-
mation about new "lite" or
"healthy" menu items.
Fast Food Facts contains many
interesting tidbits of information
such as:
? Every tablespoon of dress-
ing, mayonnaise, or "speciai sauce"
adds an extra 100 to 200 calories to
a sandwich or salad.
? Mushrooms, green pep-
persand onionsadd almostno calo-
ries to pizza.
? Kentucky Fried Chicken's
mashed potatoes have only 71 calo-
ries and 2 grams of fat
? Beans in burritos,tacosand
chili are a great low-calorie source
of fiber.

to)
Before Queen Latifa, Yo-Yo and
MC Lyte, the rap world was mostly a
patriarchy. These women, among
othershave helped, to add variations
and a distinctly female flavor to a
maledominated medium. Nefertiti is
thelatestto"stepuptothemike"with
her debut album LJ.F.E. on Mercury
records.
The album's title, LJ.F.E, is an
acronym for Living In Fear of Extinc-
tion, a title given to Nefertiti by Pro-
fesorGriff,former member ofTAiblic
Enemy. The title is a statement on
how the artist sees modem times and
human existence in general.
Nefertiti says, 'Ve are living in
fear of death and that goes for every-
body. The ozone depletion, pollu-
tion,homelessness,war.Theworldis
in such turmoil; we live in fear of
everything. I believe fear is the first
form of motivation
The first track is a speech by
Minister Louis Farrakhan set to a
background beatltstatesthatall revo-
lutions must begin with the mind,
and does so without any of the ex-
pected extremist attitudes. The al-
bum is not overly concerned with
Mack problems, the theme is more
involved with the troubles thatweall
face. There are also the standard rap
songs of competitive self praise, but
they are few. The main lyrical subject
is political and social criticism, sort of
inthesarredassasPublicEnemy,but
not quite as hard.
Oneof the stronger tracks ispro-
duced, co-written and performed by
Guru and DJ Premier of Gangstarr. It
is a jumpin' old school song, "No

"Miss Amutha Nature" is the

But when Disney tapped the
team of Ashford and Menken for The
Little Mermaid, the prospect of music
that rivals the animation for consis-
tent quality allowed the movies to
reachlargeraudiences.Itwasn'tthat
earlier musicwasn'tas good in films
like Lady and the Tramp or The
Aristocats, it just wasn't aimed for
popular consumption like Ashford-
Menken songs are and their off-
Broadway experience ("Little Shop
of Horrors") meant they knew how
to make a song fit alongside dia-
logue and not bore the kids or par-
ents. Tough trick
And so Mermaid, Beauty and the
Beast and Aladdin were huge in the-
aters and in record stores. When
Ashford died before Aladdin's music
was finished, Disney hired noted
lyricist Tim Rice ("Joseph and the
Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
"Jesus Christ Superstar") to fill in.
Rice was given The Lion King and he
asked for Elton John as his writing
partner, who reportedly took less
than twenty minutes to write the
basic melody of each song. Hans
Zimmer wrote the score and ar-
ranged the croBlperiormances with
gospel singer Andrae Crouch and
enlisted the aid of the South African
Committed Artist Choir.

Although the story is not the
reason viewers are rumbling in to
see TheFIintstones,a ptotwithany
kind of intelligence would have
been a beneficial commodity to
help the film stay around longer
than a few weeks.
The reason to see The
Flintstones, other than the sets and
the amazing special effects, is to
see the human personification of
the cartoons.
Goodman brings a "roly-
poly" good will to Fred. While
filming Always, Steven Spielberg
("Spielrock" in 77k FUntstones'
credits) reportedly told
Goodman that he would makea
great Fred. At times, Goodman
seems torn between creating his
own Fred and portraying the
Fred of the cartoons. The film-
makers obviously wanted the
Fredofthecartoons;soGoodman
spends most of his time yelling
"YabbaDabbaDoo'buthedoes
so without much enthusiasm. It
does not help that his voice
sounds very little like the ani-
mated version of his character.
Rick Moranisdoes nothing
as Barney except follow Fred
and try to capture Barney's vo-
cal nuances. Moranis adds very
little to his role.

character, Fred's dictabird, is
voiced by Harvey Korman.
Korman's smugness appropri-
ately fits the bird's resentment
of having to work for a boss like
Fred. Cameos by Jay Leno and
Johnathan Winters help to pro-
vide distraction from the barren

The Knicks tough style of play carries into the 1994 Finals
By Beau Schillito
Staff Writer
The New York Knicks beat
the Indiana Pacers Sunday night
at Madison Square Garden with
tough physical play not seen since
that of the 1980's Detroit Pistons.
The Knicks have been criti-
cized all season for being a cheap
team, instigating team brawls in
the playoff series against the New
Jersey Nets as well as the Chicago
Bulls. Their agressive play has
given them the reputation as a
bunch of punks playing streetball.
However, their amoeba defense
has stifled offenses all season long
and created turnovers, in the play-
offs. Reggie Miller, who killed
them in the fourth quarter of game
five, with 25 points, was held in
check by John Starks for only two
baskets in the second half.
Miller, who could have won
the game with a turnaround
jumper, choked with an air ball.
He was then flagged with a con-
troversial flagrant foul on Starks,
which helped end the game. Their
performance was not pretty, but
their king-of-the-hill style has got-
ten them into the NBA finals.
Their bad boy image and in-
timidating defense has brought
forth criticism from many players
and coaches.
"We mav not be the prettiest
team or have the most skill at
times Knicks coach Pat Riley
said, "but the one thing this team
has is heart ?and I can't under-
stand anyone questioning that.
This team is all about heart
It seems true that Bulls coach
Phil Jackson wants to pass these
guys off as punks. The Knicks
have earned respect and it seems
they do play with heart. Still, the
question remains: Can they beat
Hakeem Olajuwon and the Hous-
ton Rockets?
