Power Usage Reaches A11-Time Record In Greenville
ByDARRYI BROWN
Sufi Write
Hot temperatures put unusually
high demand on the Greenville
Utilities Commission Monday,
setting a new record for power
usage in the city, a spokesman
said.
Mike Waters, sut ration and
controls engineer for uLC, said
power output reached 143.400
kilowatts Monday, the highest
eer recorded by the local power
facility. The figure could have
been higher. Waters said, if
GUC's load management control
had not been in effect. He said the
program, designed to cut power
consumption during peak hours,
probably cut 8,000 to 9,000
kilowatts off power usage.
Waters said the high power con-
sumption was primarily caused by
high temperatures. "If the
weather stays like this, it could go
higher
Last week, power demand was
also unusally high, according to
Waters. Output ranged around
130,000 kilowatts and Saturday's
reading of 130,000 was a new
weekend record. Power consump-
tion is usually lower on Saturday
and Sunday.
The power output figures are
even more unusual since GUC no
longer provides power to the near-
by town of Ayden. Power figures
before 1980 included Ayden in
total consumption.
Waters said GUC should have
no trouble meeting the increased
demand, and said a good rain
storm could lower power con-
sumption to more normal levels.
But, he noted consumption could
go even higher if the weather re-
mains hot in August when
students return to school and
tobacco harvesting begins.
"If the weather stays like it is
now, we could surpass those
figures" in August, he said.
The GUC is part of the Eastern
Municipal Power Agency, which
owns a percentage of the
generating facilities of Carolina
Power and Light Co. CP'L has
reported record power consump-
tion rates in North Carolina dur-
ing the past week of high
temperatures.
Jenkins Supporters Hire Local Firm
B PATRICK O'NEILL
?.iv'an: Sf tditor
A group supporting former
ECU chancellor Leo P. Jenkins in
his bid for governor has hired a
eteran Greenville marketing
communications firm to test
North Carolina's political waters
for a possible run at the states top
spot.
The firm of Adams and Logino
has been hired to survey
Democrats across the state to
determine if there's a strong
enough support base for Jenkins
to run in the 1984 Democratic
primary.
Jenkins, 69, called "very en-
couraging" the response he's been
getting thus far from those who
have heard he's planning to enter
the race. "I think there' desire on
the part of a lot of pec Me to let
someone with experierice and
maturity be involved in this pro-
gram Jenkins said.
"Dr. Jenkins has a considerable
core support who have put up
some seed money said Frank H.
Longino Jr a partner in the firm
hired by the Jenkins group. "We
are now initally sending some let-
ters to people across the state who
are active Democrats and asking
them if they would support a
Jenkins candidacy
Longino said the survey-type
letter would not be asking for a
firm commitment or for campaign
contributions, but would only be
used to determine if there was suf-
ficient interest in a Jenkins can-
didacy. "If we receive adequate
support from the key Democrats,
we'll do some statewide polling
and see if we have a chance
Longino said. "If we do have a
pretty good chance then he will go
ahead and announce his can-
didacy and go on with it
Jenkins said more than 5,000
letters will be sent out in an effort
to find out if there's acceptance
"one way or the other" to his
plans.
Longino said his firm has a 15-1
record in political races. If
Jer'ins decides to run, Longino's
firm would then handle the adver-
tising and public relations for the
Jenkins for Governor team.
"Leo has a skill that far sur-
passes any of the other can-
didates, and that's public speak-
ing. He's an orator Longino
said, "as well as being a politician
and a statesman
Longino said that in a large race
there's a lot of interest in public
forums so the candidates can be
given an opportunity to present
their platforms. He gives Jenkins
the edge in any forums that are
conducted. "I believe he's going
to come out ahead in any forum
Longino said. "Anytime you
have a big race, what you're
Mondale Makes Stop In S.C.
NORTH MYRTLE BEACH,
S.C. (UPI) ? Democrat Walter
Mondale said Tuesday he will de-
mand that Ronald Reagan live up
to "ethical standards of
behavior" if the two men debate
in the 1984 presidential campaign.
The former vice president com-
pared the Reagan campaign's
alleged possession of a Jimmy
Carter campaign briefing book in
1980 to a schoolboy swiping a
test.
"When your youngster takes a
class or exam in high school, you
don't encourage that student to
steal the exam Mondale said.
"Those are unethical standards of
behavior and you expect better
Mondale said he "would insist
on several debates so we could go
into the major issues in a strong
way with ethical standards of
behavior
The Democratic presidential
hopeful told a conference of the
North Carolina League of Savings
Institutions the financial industry
must preserve the American
dream of every family owning a
home.
"There is nothing more fun-
damental than a good house in a
nice neighborhood he said.
Mondale refused to criticize
Reagan's selection of former
Secratary of oiate Henry Kiss-
inger to head a newly created bi-
partisan advisory board on Cen-
tral American policy.
"Personalities are not the
issue he said. "Are they dealing
with the politics of the problem or
the problem itselP"
Invading the home state of the
other presidential hopeful with
the nickname "Fritz" ? Sen.
Ernest Hollings ? Mondale called
himself "the Pope John Paul of
the Democratic Party and
declined to attack his South
Carolina opponent.
"I don't want to get elected by
hurting Fritz he said. "I'm very
fond of Fritz. I'm going to run a
positive campaign
Mondale spent most of his
speech attacking Reagan's handl-
ing of the nation's budget pro-
blems.
ECU Women Speak
Few Go Out After Dark
Hall
df . fv
Billy Ray Warren was
sentenced on Friday to 35 years
in prison after being convicted
of raping an ECU student on
campus last spring. Women
students were asked whether
they felt safe walking around
campus at night and if they had
any suggestions to make the
campus safer.
Mollie Sue Hall, Occupa-
tional Therapy, Sophomore ?
"I do feel safe just because
that's the way I am. But, I can
understand the girls who are
scared. The school offers free
karate classes. I suggest every
woman enroll
Paula Hale, Physical
Therapy, Senior ? "No, I
don't feel safe when I'm alone.
Even when I'm with just one
other female, I don't feel very
safe. It's safer when women
walk in large groups. If they
have the Pirate Walk in the
fall, I'll probably use it
Wilma Case, Biology, Junior
? "I feel pretty safe because I
use my better judgment. I don't
stay out at night unless I'm
with someone or in a group.
We need to emphasize (to new
students) the need to be a little
bit more careful
Elizabeth Pope, Freshman,
Nursing ? "I don't really go
out unless someone's with me.
I think the Pirate Walk is a
helpful service
Case
basically looking for is the
undecided vote Longino said.
"Most of the polls right now say
there's about 60 percent undecid-
ed. The decided vote is relatively
small, it could be a horserace
Jenkins, who has been speaking
and making public appearences
around the state recently, said
he's offering experience and
know-how to the people of North
Carolina.
Jenkins said his past record
shows that he's someone who's
"really succeeded" and someone
who knows state government
"backwards and front
"I've worked with these people
(state officials) for 35 years, so I
know exactly what goes on in state
government ? how things are
achieved and how things are
defeated ? I know my way
around Jenkins said.
Jenkins, who has previously
stressed the importance of educa-
tion as one of his primary con-
cerns, said he also thinks more
skills training, in technical areas
such as electronics and com-
puters, is needed in North
Carolina.
"We're not going to get
Japanese Firms, German firms,
(and) all these other people to
come to North Carolina unless we
have the manpower who are train-
ed in the skills Jenkins said.
"The state that can do that is go-
ing to be the state that wins
Jenkins retired from ECU's
chancellorship in 1978. Longino
said it would probably be late
September before the survey is
completed.

Civil Rights Leader's Son
Stops Off In Greenville
The son of the late civil rights
leader Martin Luther King Jr.
stopped in Greenville Saturday as
part of his swing through North
Carolina encouraging voter
registration and gathering support
for a large peace march to be held
in Washington, D.C on Aug. 27.
Martin Luther King III joined
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference President Joseph
L .very for a short visit with
Greenville Community leaders.
Local SCLC President Bennie
Roundtree was on hand to
welcome King and Lowery. King's
father founded the SCLC in 1955.
He remained the group's presi-
dent until he was killed by an
assassin's bullet in June of 1968.
On Friday, King joined black
leaders Dick Gregory and Walter
Fauntroy while addressing au-
diences in Durham and Chapel
Hill. "No matter what anyone
thinks, we're still not free King
told his audiences. "America is
stilLa very racist nation. Our pre-
judices become racist when we use
them to oppress others
The Washington, D.C march
in August will mark the 20th an-
niversary of the Rev. Martin
Luther King's famous "1 have a
dream" speech. March leaders are
predicting more than 1 million
people will turn out for the event.
Local Noise Ordinance To Begin;
New Levels Will Affect Students'
By DARRYL BROWN
SUff Writer
The Greenville City Council
passed a city-wide noise ordinance
in May scheduled to take effect at
the end of the month, a city of-
fical said Monday, that should
drastically change the amount of
noise a household can make
without breaking the new city law.
Greenville has not had a viable
noise ordinance until the new rule
which is set to go into effect July
31, according to Assistant City
Attorney DeWitt McCarley. A
previous law prohibiting
"unreasonable or excessive
noise" proved difficult to enforce
and had no standard penalty.
Citizens complaining about a
neighborhood noise had virtually
no legal recourse, and police
could do little more than ask loud
citizens to keep noise to
reasonable levels
Analysis
McCarley said the new or-
dinance, which has been in the
making for almost a year, was
prompted primarily by citizen de-
mand for an enforceable noise
law. Areas such as the Tar River
neighborhood, between Fifth
street and the river, complained so
much about noise violations that
"we needed something that would
work McCarley said.
"Our point is not to go after
anybody he said, but "there are
sections of town where people
want a vigorous enforcement pro-
The new law sets specific noise
levels for residential, public, com-
mercial and industrial areas.
Residential neighborhoods can
not exceed 55 dB (a standard unit
for measuring sound levels) from
11 p.m. to 7 a.m. and no more
than 60 dB at other times. Sound
levels will be measured at street
curbs, fences, or other points
commonly assumed to be the pro-
perty line.
According to standard
estimates, an average conversa-
tion in 50 to 60 dB, a small air
conditioner is about 60 dB, the
average televison or vacuum
cleaner is about 70 dB, and a nor-
mal power lawn mower is about
110 dB.
No one in a residential
neighborhood may exceed the
levels of the ordinance, which car-
ries a $50 fine, but public, com-
mercial and industrial areas can
apply for a temporary "Permit to
Exceed" or an "Outdoor
Amplified Sound Permit" for
concerts or other loud events.
Thanks to cooperation between
the city and the ECU Panhellenic
and Inter Fraternity Councils,
organized and managed by Vice
Chancellor for Student Life Elmer
Meyer, fraternity and sorority
houses, normally considered
residential buildings, will be
allowed one exception to the noise
ordinance per semester. Frater-
nities and sororities are the only
residences who may be granted a
"Permit to Exceed McCarley
praised Meyer for keeping good
communication between the city
and student groups.
Even with a permit, noise levels
in any area may not exceed 85 dB.
A fine of $200 and immediate
revocation of the permit can be
levied on anyone exceeding the
noise levels of the permit. Permit
holders must be present during the
entire time permits are in use and
must assist police in making a
changes necessary at the site.
There is a $5 administration fee
to obtain a permit.
Exceptions are made in the or-
dinance for normal noise levels
exceeding the law such as daytime
construction work, safety or war-
ning signals, church bells, legal
parades, demonstrations and
street fairs, holiday fireworks,
lawn mowers and trains.
The Greenville City Police will
enforce the ordinance, and the ci-
ty is purchasing noise meters and
training officers to use them in
order to enforce the law, Mc-
Carley said. He said officers
would not randomly inspect areas
for noise, but would probably on-
ly act on complaints.
The law also covers noise from
motor vehicles, now making it il-
legal for vehicles to have improper
mufflers that produce noise levels
over 80 to 90 dB.
The new ordinance should
make a major difference in some
city neighborhoods and in the
utestyles of many students living
off campus. Many parties and
stereos regularly exceed the new
"? and houses in some
?MlinlJJWHi are only a few feet
apart. Fraternity councils fed
they can live with the new or-
dinance, Umitint each house to
one loud eventT

NEW YORK (UPI)
? Like Gutenberg's
movable printing
type, the revolution
created by Henry
Ford's single-purpose
mass production
assembly line has run
its course, says a team
of management con-
sultants.
Both Gutenberg
and Ford ushered in
revolutions that
changed the world
drastically.
Gutenberg's invention
lasted for 500 years; it
took the electronic
computer to push
movable type out of
the world printing.
It is the computer
also that has made
Ford's one-purpose
assembly line obsolete
after only about 75
years, says Harry
Thompson, Joseph
Romano and Michael
Paris of A. T.
Kearney, Inc a large
national consulting
firm.
They concede
things will continue to
be made in large
quantities by
assembly line methods
but they say that from
now on factories can't
be run on anything
like the stark prin-
ciples Ford forced on
all manufacturers
with his famous
Model T car. Pro-
ducts turned out that
way today simply
can't compete, the
Kearney people say.
Assembly lines and,
more importantly, the
management policies
that control them, will
have to be extremely
flexible from now on.
A plant that makes
refrigerators may
have to change over-
night to making
bicycles if it is to stay
in business.
The Kearney team
believes not many
American company
managements yet
realize what is hap-
pening nor com-
prehend the long
range implications
and opportunities of
high technology and
changing world
markets.
They do not believe
American technology
is lagging significantly
but that American
management is lagg-
ing and often still is
moving in the wrong
direction.
For example,
Thompson said he
and his colleagues
have grave doubts of
the wisdom of
Detroit's talk about a
single car model made
by an international
consortium for a
Is A Better Idea'
global market. The
thinking should be the
other way, he said,
about a single
assembly line turning
out cars with different
gearing for different
terrains, different
finishes for different
climates and sizes to
suit varied needs and
enormous variations
in fuel costs around
the world.
"The big thing that
has not been grasped
by many management
people he said, "is
that you no longer
have to trade off cost
effectiveness for
speed and flexibility.

He said the prime
reasons why
American business is
being so slow to take
advantage of the new
opportunities are:
?We still have a
functional and
parochial approach to
management. This
causes rigidity and
stagnation.
?Too many ad-
ministrative ex-
ecutives look on ac-
tual manufacturing as
just a nuisance even

though that's where
the money comes
from.
?Too many ex-
ecutives regard the
new technology as
just new ways to cut
costs; they don't see it
for what it is, the
opening of the gates
to vast new strategic
opportunities.
?Too many ex-
ecutives cling to short-
term bottom-line
thinking and refuse to
face up to the long-
term benefits of the
new technology.
Many good programs
take 10 years or more
to carry through pro-
perly.
?Management fails
to realise how quickly
new competition can
appear, either at
home or abroad.
?There is a tenden-
cy to believe a com-
pany can "let others
plow the ground and
make the mistakes"
before it takes the
plunge itself. Thomp-
son says this attitude
may wreck many
companies.
?Because the new
technology involves
big investments, those
executives who believe
strongly in the
"discounted cash
flow theory" fail to
take into account the
risk of not making the
necessary in-
vestments. Lethargy
or ignorance causes
other executives to
fail to take into ac-
count the risk of not
making the required
investments and bold
management deci-
sions.

Studds, on the other hand,

Editor's Note: Since it seems no one
has had any problems in recent weeks,
and, of course, since this page would
look pretty stupid with a big white space
right in the middle, I figured I'd better
fill it as best I can. Here, then, is a col-
lection of some of my most memorable
letters over the past 10 years. Some let-
ters may be familiar to faithful readers;
others may not.
Dear Son: (This is probably one of the
ones that most readers won't recognize,
as it was written when I was 11, and
since I didn't start writing this garbage
until last year.) It was nice talking to you
over the phone the other day. Sorry you
had to waste your weekly call on ol' M &
D. But anyway, how is reform school
Reply to Ms. Maughan:
Apparently, you are so blinded by
your loyalty and devotion to Patrick
O'Neill (a good managing editor, ha!)
and his rebel, anti-governmental causes
that you are unable to appreciate the
humor of Mike Hughes, Stan Landers,
et al.
I personally find it refreshing to be
able to read the editorial page and en-
joy a column that makes me laugh,
especially about issues dealing with
human interactions. It certainly is
more appealing than Patrick's constant
whimpering about the plight of com-
munist rebels in Central America, and
his "protest trip of the week" to op-
pose our own democratically elected
government.
I do not know Mike Hughes per-
sonally, but he has made a magnificent
contribution to the editorial content of
The East Carolinian. Open your mind,
'Safely Behind Bars?'
The Statistics Say No
n
By PAT O'NEILL
On July 8, Billy Ray Warren was
sentenced in Pitt County Superior Court
to serve 35 years in prison for the rape
last March of an ECU student.
I imagine many people at ECU ?
especially women ? gave a great sigh of
relief in knowing that a man like Warren
is now, as the saying goes, "safely
behind bars I, too, would agree; War-
ren definitely needs to be segregated
from the rest of society. He's dangerous.
Unfortunately, the problem is much
more complex. Putting this young man
in prison has only temporarily solved
our most immediate problem ? getting
him off the streets.
But the real question should be: What
will happen when Billy Ray Warren gets
out? Will he be rehabilitated? Will he
rape the first woman he sees?
First of all, BiUy Ray Warren will get
out. Unless he's killed or dies while in
prison, in all likelihood, he'll be out
sometime in the late 1990s. He'U pro-
bably only serve about one-third to one-
half of his actual sentence. (It's impor-
tant to remember that 98 percent of all
people sent to prison eventually are
released.)
During his prison stay, Warren is not
likely to receive very much rehabilitative
care. Let's face it, prisoners are viewed
as "the worst of the worst" in our socie-
ty we don't even have enough buildings
to keep them in, much less rehabilitate
them!
While in prison, it is also likely that
Warren will be subjected to violence;
maybe he'll be raped himself. Some may
call this justice; I call it state-sanctioned
criminality.
The short-sightedness of our society is
absolutely and unexplainably mad. We
cry out for justice and demand that the
criminal be dealt with as harshly as
possible. Yet we make no provisions for
what will happen when the release date
comes up.
When some insightful politician or
judge comes up with an alternative plan
for these criminal outcasts, the cry rings
loud: "You're being soft on crime
While at the same time, we are imposing
cruel and unusual punishment ?
without rehabilitation ? on these peo-
ple. Will they be "soft" on society when
they get out?
In North Carolina, there are almost
17,000 people crowded like cattle in our
prisons and jails. They're lonely; they're
angry, often unskilled and abused. They
are not "safe" behind those bars of in-
justice, and when they get out, we won't
be safe either. Come on folks, let's be
realistic. Stop all this nonsense about the
horrors of crime. Let's put our tax
dollars into alternatives and true
rehabilitation ? not simply into
building more prisons.
Ms. Maughan, and laugh a little; life is
not as serious as Patrick O'Neill has
brainwashed you to believe. Mike,
keep up the good work. I'll miss your
column upon my graduation.
Charles D. Shavitz
Senior, Management
Encore, Encore
In response to Melanie Bentley-
Maughan's letters:
I must say that your first letter was,
indeed, amusing, but your iatest reply
to Mr. Baker was simply too
outrageous to go without comment.
"Constructive criticism?" Come on,
now. As an English alumnus, you cer-
tainly must have critiqued a few papers
in your time. I think "vicious attacks"
would be a more accurate summation
of your letters to the editor.
Obviously, what you perceive as be-
ing so crude differs from how others
interpret the material in Mr. Hughes'
columns. That is understandable,
however. There is definitely a fine line
between between banal humor and
mild crudity.
But frankly, I think you are forget-
ting the most important element here.
This is a student newspaper ? first and
foremost. Art Buchwald writes for his
audience, and we write for ours. Where
else is a humorous (yes, even a mildly
crude) piece more appropriate?
Everyone has been made fully aware
that you think Mr. Hughes' columns
are unappropriate, but then again,
that's your opinion. To be perfectly
honest, I believe the majority of the
students on this campus not only read
Mr. Hughes' column but also look for-
ward to it as well.
Yes, anyone can develop penman-
ship. You demonstrated that. But be a
good sport, Ms. Bentley-Maughan,
and please stifle yours. I think myself,
as well as the entire East Carolinian
staff, have heard quite enough of your
so-called "constructive criticism" of
our managing editor and editorial
page.

your sister's hamsters out of your old

at it again. Why, just last week alone, it
was twice in the house, three times in the
car and once on Mrs. Dunleavy's

it. It was truly a sight to behold, your
dog being a St. Bernard and all. But
don't worry, this time your father got
some good shots with the Polaroid.

and I think most of his problems are
slightly higher than his back. The other
day I went out to the store, and when I
came back, he was under the coffee
table, barking and growling at a TV
commercial with Lome Green. And
what's worse, he won't eat potatoes
anymore either. Remember how Grand-
pa loved his potatoes? He says it
reminds him too much of happier times.
(You probably recall from old pictures
how Grandma looked a lot like a tater
tot in her yourger days.)
Oh well, son, I'd love to stay and

coming on in five minutes, and I have to
coax Grandpa away from Tom and
Jerry so's I can watch it. Take care, son,
and stay out of trouble.

MOM
P.S. Mr. Bottleman, across the street,
told me to tell you not to worry, since his
insurance covered the tires, fender and
mailbox, and since he didn't really like
Mrs. Bottleman's cat anyway.
Dear Mom: Received your letter this
afternoon, and paid the mailman his 13
cents. Postage due! That's one even I
hadn't thought of. Too bad about
Grandpa and the potatoes, but I was
glad to hear that Aunt Melba and Alon-
zo are still perky. Right on Mrs.
Dunleavy's Chihuahua, huh? I sure
hope the pictures turn out. Well, Mom,
I'd love to stay and chat all day, but in
about 10 minutes, the girls are going to
be taking showers, and it's my turn to
collect ticket money at the peep hole.
Love
SON
P.S. Thanks for your letter. I may be
able to use it some day for filler if I
should ever write a column for a
backwoods student newspaper in eastern
North Carolina like I've always wanted
to.
Dear Stan Landers: (This is another
letter which may not be familiar to
readers, because I lost it about a year
ago and just discovered it last week,
when I cleaned out my mailbox.) I am a
44-year-old, full-figured gal from Out
Yonder, N.C and I have recently ex-
perienced a terrible problem I'm sure
some of your readers share. Ever since I
was 14, I've been wearing 18-hour bras;
you know, the kind that lift and
separate. You've probably already
figured it out and think I'm some kind
of moron. But just so none of your
readers get into a similar mess, I'll tell
you what happened anyway. My hus-
band, Zeb, and. I were at the Hollerin'
Festival over in Spivey's Corner a few
weeks back. Zeb was in the men's com-
petition, and I, of course, in the
women's. Anyway, to make a long story
short, I got extremely caught up in the
festivities and forgot that my bra had
been on for more than the allotted time.
(I think it was 19 hours or so.) I was so
embarrassed. Everyone was laughing at
me even Zeb.
Now, of course, I've been branded-
Why, I can't even walk into JethrVs
Pool Room without some smartass pum-
ping a quarter into the jukebox and
playing "Hey Nineteen" every five
minutes. It seems unfair, but I'm finish-
ed. However, I'm not asking for sym-
pathy. I just thought your readers might
benefit from my terrible experience.
BULGING BEULAH
Dear Bulging: I agree. I've been say-
ing for years how 1 wish the federal
government would impose stricter warn-
ings on 18-hour bra labels. And you're
right about another thing too. I do think
you're a moron.
Dear Stan Landers: My name is Jim
Borinski, but please, please, please don't
print that, because it would be quite em-
barrassing if my friends ever found out
about me.
Anyway, about my problem. To make
a short story long, it all started when I
was seven. I was always an effeminate
child, dressing up my GI Joe in my
sister's Barbie doll clothes and playing
house until 1 was 18. None of the other
kids liked me. Once, a bunch of bullies
on my street even put a frog in my Suzy
Homemaker oven just because I refused
to play kick ball. I was baking a lemon
merangue chiffon. Oh! It was going to
be scrumptious until those mean old
boys had to go and ruin it.
Then there was the time in junior high
when I tried out for the cheerleader
squad. I figured if girls can play basket-
ball, why can't I put on a mini-skirt and
some spiffy saddle shoes and do the
splits. Naturally, Miss Cludzig, the
cheering supervisor, would have nothing
to do with me.
All in all, that's been the story of my
life. People have always tried to change
me, never accepting me for what I am.
Which, of course, brings me to the pre-
sent.
I came to college here to start a new
life. And right now, I don't think my
friends know about me. They don't
know that I was prom queen in high
school. They don't know that I still like
wearing underwear from Frederick's of
Hollywood and that I loathe Anita
Bryant. They treat me like just another
one of the guys. I guess what I'm
wondering, then, is how can I tell them
that I'm not just another one of the
guys? I want to make sure I do it tactful-
ly, because if they find out before I get a
chance to explain it to them, I'll be ruin-
ed.
STILL IN THE CLOSET
Dear Closet: Before I answer your
question, there's just one thing I need to
know. What was it you didn't want me
to print?

United States Policy Receives Criticism
Fifteen North
Carolinians and 135
other citizens of the
United States return-
ed home from a five-
day trip to Nicaragua
Friday.
The 150 people
from 31 states had
gone to the Central
American nation to
call attention to what
they termed "United
States intervention"
in the small country.
The group also hoped
their presence in the
small border town of
Jalapa, would stop
the recent fighting
that has been going on
between Nicaraguan
troops and Counter-
revolutionists from
Honduras.
Jalapa is close to
the location where
two American jour-
nalists were killed by a
land rrine last month.
"We also wanted to
draw attention to the
fact that the
Nicaraguan people
want peace said
Gail Phares, the direc-
tor of the Carolina In-
terfaith Taskforce on
Central America, the

While most people
have difficulty finding
the time to write a let-

Dr. Carroll A. Web-

Webber, 56, is a
retired ECU math
professor. He said he
is taking the trip to
learn about the deci-
sions now being made
and how these deci-
sions come about.
Despite the ex-
tremely hot condi-
tions during the
weekend, Webber had
hoped to cover 120
miles of territory on
his 10-speed bicycle
during the first day
and arrived in D.C. in
time for Sunday mor-
ning church services.
Webber hopes to

the headquarters of
organizations such as
the Federation of

participated in a

"One of the basic

Moran said that a
rocket and mortor a
few days prior to the
group's arrival had
killed a number of
civilians living in a
small boarder town.
Moran said that the
international media
only covers news of
death when it involves
other journalists or
officials, but not the
deaths of innocent

The Reagan Ad-
ministration has held
a stead-fast position
that Nicaragua is in
the Soviet camp and is
allowing military sup-
plies to come through
their country and on
into anti-government
forces in El Salvador.
"The U.S. should
definitely cease its
financing of these
paramilitary groups
Moran said. "We sug-

been created to frame

long-term price and
production policies,
review the oil markets
and promote contacts
with the non-OPEC
producers ? such as
Britain, the Soviet
Union, Mexico and
Norway.
OPEC sources said
the move was to rein-
force the agreements
reached in London in
March and at the
same time guarantee a
wider role for OPEC
when an anticipated
increase in demand
takes place in the
quarter ol
fourth
1983.
Earlier, the
ministers split in
groups to try to per-
suade Iran and Iraq to
give up their dispute
over the post of
secretary-general. But
the meetings ap-
parently ended in
failure, leading to the
deferment of the
selection of the
secretary-general.
The post has been
vacant since Marc
Nan Nguema of
Gabon ended his term
in June.
Saudi Arabian Oil
Minister Sheikh Ahm-
ed Zaki Yamani said
earlier the producer
group had decided to
end the meeting
without waiting for an
outcome of the race
for secretary-general.
Although the
secretary generalship
is an administrative
post, both Iran and
Iraq hoped to get the
post to widen their in-
fluence in the pro-
ducer group, OPEC
analysts said.
OPEC moderates
said they fear the
choice of either Iraq
or Iran
could turn OPEC into
an arena for
diplomatic wrangling
by the two.

The ninth person is
Jo Jorban from West

The nine fasters will

The fast will begin

Travolta Goes Nautilus For Staying Alive
By GORDON IPOCK
Staff W ritff
The Plitt Theater is having a nightly special on
beefcake ? all you can stomach for four bucks,
and the main course is John Travolta served up raw
and randy in Staying Alive. Travolta flexes more
muscle, all tanned, body-shaved and oiled, than a
Mr. Olympia finalist in a pose down.
Touted as a dance film, Staying Alive will pro-
bably be a bigger hit with the Conan the Barbarian
crowd than among All That Jazz or Flashdance
fans. The movie's plot has the same logic as a
Charlie's Angels episode: construe scenes that
allow the stars to show as much meat as possible.
Ever notice how the Angels constantly face crime
waves at Waikiki or the Bahamas, the sort of
places where a bikini is the standard undercover
uniform? The same success formula is at work in
Staying Alive ? to show as much of Travolta's
new Body-By-Stallone as a PG rating will allow.
The fiim is a tale of bathos and braggadocio in
which Travolta, as Tony Manero, struggles for the
same sort of recognition as a Broadway dancer
than he once had as a disco stud in the Bay Ridge
area of Brooklyn. A little older, but not much
wiser. Manero retains his thick Brooklyn accent:
"1 was tinkin, dat, maybe 1 cou' meet wid youse
he raps to Laura, the film's blue-blooded British
vixen. He also retains his cocky attitude about
women, motivated by his glands and governed by
expediency.
Two-timing Tony with his armor-plated ego acts
like an urban guerilla waging a one-man war with
the opposite sex. One hunk-hungry doll spurned by
Manero retorts, "Guys like you aren't relation-
ships ? you're exercise I felt no empathy with
the wounded Tony as he later pondered the truth of
her remark.
Then Tony meets the ultimate Cosmo girl,
Laura, played by Finola Hughes. Laura, who
makes Bo Derek look like a three, is a star dancer
who possesses immense wealth in the same
mysterious way that Wicked Wanda of Penthouse
comics does. Arriving for rehearsals in a 40-foot
Lincoln land yacht, she contrasts sharply with
hand-to-mouth Tony and his steady girl, Jackie,
played by Cynthia Rhodes.
Like Hillary struggling blindly up through the
mists of Everest, Tony struggles after Laura in the
rarefied world of the jet set, repeatedly dumping
on faithful Jackie in the process. Tony shows up at
Laura's penthouse party in his old polyester Satur-
day Night Fever suit. In this, the only poignant
scene in the movie, Tony appears absurd and
pathetic. The double-knit outfit that made him a
white knight among blue collar kids at Fever's 2001
looks like a caterer's uniform amid the trendy
tweeds worn by the Manhattan chic.
Having had her sport, Laura dismisses Tony as if
he were a pimple-faced boy delivering pizza, giving
him a verbal tip at the door: "Everybody uses
everybody, don't they That line, about as meaty
as a vegi-chef salad, is as heavy as the script gets.
The remainder of the film is Tony's vendetta.
With wounded pride, Tony piques himself to go
after the leading male role in his first Broadway
show, "Satan's Alley The production has the
lighting, staging and costuming of a Kiss concert,
and the choreography looks to have been snatched
from Marvel Comics.
During rehearsals, his tight-collared, sleeveless
black T-shirt frames bulging pairs of deltoids,
biceps and triceps. Tony looks more like a biker
than a dancer and comes across with the petulance
of a spoiled beach bully.
In the opening night performance, loinclothed
Tony, hurling demonically costumed women and
whip-wielding men aside, busts across the stage like
a run-amok Comanche. With a damn-the-
choreography attitude, Tony tosses Laura on her
fanny and tears into a frenetic muscle-pumping
solo that the Broadway crowd of tasteless
bourgeoisie laps up. I felt like throwing up. The
anti-climactic backstage ending which follows is
too sickeningly narcissistic to comment on.
Travolta, however, can't be blamed for this
Walter Mitty daydream of a movie. As the credits
proudly proclaim, this is a Sylvester Stallone film,
directed, co-written ad co-produced by Stallone.
Sly even makes a tacky appearance in Staying
Alive, bumping into Tony on a crowded New York
street at the film's beginning. After that, I kept ex-
pecting to see him casually drinking a beer in the
hazy recesses of a bar scene, or sitting in the
"Satan's Alley" audience wearing a tux with a
blonde at his side.
Stallone described himself in a recent Rolling
Stone interview as "a self-aggrandizing asshole
Too bad he casts Travolta as one in this film.
Stallone has also invented a new method of ac-
ting, nothing like Stanislavsky's ? or anyone
else's. It relies on weightlifting. Stallone perfected
Nautilus acting in his Rocky series and coached
Travolta in it for this film. Unfortunately, Tony
looks and moves no more like a dancer than Rocky
looks and moves like a boxer. Stallone should get
out of Hollywood and team up with Joe Weider, or
maybe start a television exercise program in a mor-
ning network spot opposite Richard Simmons.
But the athlete-actor does seem to be catching on
these days. Perhaps over-built bodies are the
special effects of contemporary film drama. Is a
splashy plot with ample helpings of beefcake and
cheesecake the only way to compete with the

Summer Theatre Brings
Simon's 'Song' To Life
By CARLYN EBERT
haimajanwai Editor
The script is old hat and the
music a combination of som-
nolent love songs and peppy
jingles like "Tea For Two but
the East Carolina Summer
Theatre's No, No, Nanette over-
came these built-in obstacles with
eye-popping color, poofy
costumes and brashly energetic
performances by its stars.
The original script dates back to
a 1919 novel by May Edington,
His Lady Friends. The musical
version of No, No, Nanette open-
ed on Broadway in 1925, played
665 performances to toe-tapping
critics and received the standard
politely glowing reviews. A sliver
of sparkly fluff about flappers,
millionaires and the ever-widening
morals of the wealthy, No, No,
Nanette reflected the popular im-
age of the Twenties like a mirror
ball picking up iridiscent flashes
of satin and sequins from the
dance floor.
But when Broadway mounted
the 1971 revival of No, No,
Nanette, billing it as "The New
1925 Musical Hit audiences
practically stampeded the 46th
Street Theater to grab a handful
of simple, happy nostalgia. Far
from unsophisticated, 1971 au-
diences readily embraced the new
Nanette as much for its lack of
shock value or timely social
message as for the stellar presence
of Busby Berkeley. Berkeley, the
era-defining choreographer of
scads of Hollywood musicals
from the Jazz Age, supervised the
revival, which also featured two
stars not seen on the New York
stage since the early 1930s: Ruby
Keeler and Patsy Kelly.
In brief, No, No, Nanette tells
the story of a properly bored
young lady living with her
generous-to-a-fault, Bible-
publishing Uncle Jimmy and his
prudent wife, Sue. Around them,
the prosperous Twenties are in
full bloom, beckoning Nanette
out to Charleston on the beach in
Atlantic City while Jimmy and his
cohort Billy Early try to dodge
three sexy fortune hunters who
are after the bighearted
publisher's bucks. It's all mass
confusion, of course, as all the
parties wind up at Jimmy's beach
bungalow at the same time but
still manage to break out in happy
feet at least once an act.
One high-energy dance number
per act, however, was not enough
to really offset the restrained soft-
shoe posturing that accompanied
most of the singing numbers. Act
One, for instance, didn't really
come, alive until the ensemble
brought out the ukeleles and the
tap shoes for "1 Want To Be Hap-
py The audience anticipated the
remaining showpiece numbers ?
Act Two's "Tea For Two" and
"You Can Dance With Any
Girl a collection of Roaring
Twenties ballroom dance; Act
Three's "Take A Little One-
Step" ? and responded with
wildly pent-up applause.

Two Views Of Terror
ByMIKEHAMER
Isn't there a psychological
theory out that accounts for
things happening at just the right
time? Sometimes it's coincidence,
and yet sometime the way things
happen is purely eerie.
This week I happened to read
two books that complement each
other: Joan Didion's journalistic
report Salvador and J.M.
Coetzee's novel Waiting for the
Barbarians. Aside from both
works being relatively short, there
is little that would make one want
to speak of both at the same time;
however, a common theme ties
them together, and that theme is
terror.
Didion deals with the constant,
current presence of terror in El
Salvador in her piece ? one en-
counters the terror from the
beginning of her account to the
very end. Coetzee deals with ter-
ror in a more abstract way in his
novel. He never condones terror;
rather, he makes the reader fed
some of the hopelessness of the
victims of terrorist tactics. But he
does get the reader to get to a
point of asking several questions,
among them, Why do people use
torture in the 20th century?
Joan Didion is an accomplished
prose writer. She has written
several novels, but she is perhaps
best known for her collections of
essays Slouching Towards
Bethlehem and The White Album.
Her esssays show up in many

man (Neil Simon) and the Tony

together, and you get the Broad-
way musical success They're Play-
ing Our Song, at the East
Carolina Summer Theatre this
Monday, July 25 through Satur-
day, July 30 at 8:15 each evening.
A special matinee performance
has been scheduled for Thursday,
July 28 at 2:15 p.m.
This recent Broadway hit rated
high marks with New York City
critics and won Lucie Arnaz her
debut on The Great White Way.
?The story line revolves around the
personal and professional lives of
composer Vernon Gersch and
lyricist Sonia Walsk. Together
they write some of the most
popular love songs in the country
but have a rough time making
their own lives as harmonious as
the music they create.
Based on the widely-publicized
real life courtship of composer
Marvin Hamlisch and lyricist
Carole Bayer Sager, They're Play-
ing Our Song is zany, full of blithe
good humor and delightful music.
Sara Riva Krieger and John
Kuhn will play this musically
talented couple who discover they
have much more in common than
making music.
! Miss Krieger has a number of
jnusical and New York City club
jtcts to her credit. She was
pominated by the National
Academy of Concert and Cabaret
Acts for Best Female Vocalist and
Performer of the Year. Coin-
Hdentally, she is, in real life, also
lyricist. According to the play's
director Edgar Loessin, "We
found Sara during auditions in
New York, immediately saw that
she was perfect for the part; but it
was not until later that we realized
how natural it is for her to play
the role Sonia. Not only is she a
wonderful singer, dancer and ac-
tress, she also has an insider's
knowledge of how hit songs are
created. We're very fortunate to
have her featured in the show
Summer Theatre audiences are
already familiar with the talents
of John Kuhn. He was featured as
the Leading Player in the season
opener Pippin, and more recently
received excellent notices for his
portrayal of Carl Magnus
Malcolm in A Little Night Music.
Also appearing in They're Play-
ing Our Song will be six actor
singers who represent Vernon and
Sonia's alter egos. Personifying
Vernon's innermost thoughts will
be Vince Kelly, Bob Sharpe and
Bob Filipowich. Sonia's inner
voices will come from Sharon
Lawrence, Melodie Wolford and
Babs Winn.
"When season tickets first went
on sale in November, we realized
this was going to be a very
popular show said Summer
Theatre General Manager Scott
Parker. "So we arranged to offer
a special matinee performance at
reduced rates on Thursday, July
28 at 2:15 p.m Those tickets are
$7 each, a 30 percent discount off
the regular leserved price. "There
are still many excellent seats
available for that performance
said Parker.
Tickets may be purchased at
McGinnis Theatre, Monday
through Saturday, from 10 a.m.
until 8:30 p.m or reserved by

and she lea es the
reader wanting more
depth to her investiga-
tions. She does,
however, let the
reader feel the pain
and frustration of the
situation in El
Salvador.
In Hailing for the
Barbarians (Penguin
Books), which is J.M
Coetzee's third novel,
we get a look at terror
from another perspec-
tive ? from the
perspective of the em-
pire inflicting it.
Somehow when
reading this book, one
can't help but ask,
"Are we an empire?
Do we inflict hardship
on cultures which we
do not understand?"
(William Appleman
Williams's Fmpire As
A Way of Life ? Ox
ford University Press
? has been recom
mended for answers
or more questions
along these lines.) Of
course there are no
easy solutions, but 1
think it is a credit to
Coetee that he leads
the reader to ask such
questions in the first
place.
Waiting for the
Barbarians is the story
of a Magistrate who
has run the affairs of
a tiny frontier settle-
ment. The Magistrate
works for the Empire,
which is very nervous
about the barbarians
who live in the
o-itlands When inter-
rogation experts ar-
rive at the settlement
and torture two of the
barbarians, the
Magistrate befriends
the woman who was
tortured and sets
himself on a path con-
trary to the Empire's,
which gets him im-
prisoned as an enemy
of the state
I hroughout the novel
the Magistrate tries to
understand the tor-
ture and the minds of
the men who carry out
the torture for the
F-mpire.
I recommend ihis
novel as a piece of ex-
cellent reading and as
a means to think
about the mentality
behind today's

Stallone.) Fever had a
meaningful plot about
a kid getting his head
out ot his ass and
discovering there's
more to life than gang
wars, gang banes and
dance contests There
was even some slick
symbolism at work

unexpected, like get-

"What do you think we're do-
ing out here? 1 want 10
pushupsNOW The campers
obeyed without hesitation, listen-
ing to their counselor bellow out
order after order.
Their faces were baffled. They
didn't understand why they were
being treated so harshly all of a
.udden. "Okay, 1 want you the
counselor said, pointing to a
sweaty group of youngsters
praw!ed out on the ground, "to
an to the track field. NOW
The group quickly sprinted over
to the track field while the others
oon followed. After all the
ampers reached the designated
urea, their curiosity was satisfied
en they saw the firetruck,
reman and a huge waterhose.
mping on each other's backs,
he campers hooped and hollered

ater.

ures or practicing new drills. In a

According to Head Football
. oach Ed Emory, this year's
.amp has been his most suc-
cessful. "There are 69 seniors here
ind 25 are top prospects he
aid. Approximately 300 campers
are attending the three and-a-half-
day camp. The youngsters range
trom fourth graders to twelfth
graders.
Offensive Tackle Coach Charlie
Elmquist explained that the
J&U- ?;
camp's main objective is to teach.
"It's not a fundamentals camp
he said. "We're here to teach
them about the game of foot-
ball
Because of the recent heat
wave, the counselors have been
unable to do anything but teach.
"We're very careful Elmquist
said. "It's been unbearable out
here, so wr've slowed things down
quite a bit
The counselors are sure to keep
a watchful eye on the "shakhV
bakers a nickname they've
given for the younger campers.
"So far, everyone has held up
well Elmquist said. "No one
has gotten sick from the heat
Rex Kipp, defensive line coach
and camp director, described this
year's campers as the "best group
of men I've worked with
"They've just been excep-
tional he said. "We try to make
a good camp, but the kids are the
ones who sell our program. They
go back and tell other kids just
how much they enjoyed it
Meanwhile, across the field,
Coach Harrison lectures an awe-
struck crowd about the impor-
tance of defense. "Great players
make difficult plays look easy
he tells them. "Muff players make
easy plays look difficult
Teams from New Jersey, New
York and Virginia have come to
attend Coach Harrison's team
camp ? a camp that Harrison
describes as a real bargain. "A
team concept is better than the in-
dividual concept he said. "The
players get a chance to play with
their teammates. It's like a con-
densed summer league. They have
a chance to play in different styles
of play, and we can expose them
to our ideas. We also meet with
the coaches for an hour each
night
Besides that, Harrison says the
camp is cheaper than most.
"We're by far the least expensive
camp in the state of North
Carolina he said, "but you can
bet that we give them more
basketball for the money
Harrison would like to see the
camp become a more lucrative
program, but that's only because
he would like to pay his assistant
coaches more. "My assistants
don't get paid enough. That's my
personal feeling he said. "I'd
just like to seem them make
more
One might expect Harrison to
be a little less abrasive toward his
summer campers, but that's not
the case. And that's why his
campers like him so much.
"You know what my biggest
pet peeve is?" Harrison yells, en-
circled by a gym full of impres-
sionable eyes. "It's when a player
doesn't get the ball thrown to him
or he doesn't score. Then what
does he do? He drops his head
down and walks slowly the other
way.
"Now what do you think I'm
gonna say to him?" Harrison then
chooses a camper to make his il-
lustration more effective. "I'm
gonna put my arm around his
shoulder and I'm gonna say, 'are
you sick?' The camper says no.
'Then are you hurt?' The camper
again says no. 'Are you tired?'
The camper says no once more.
"Then get your ass down that
court and get in position The
campers roar with laughter.
Harrison knows that some of
these campers could be future
recruits, and he also gives advice
in that area. "Don't show an at-
tiude he says. "If somebody
shows an attiude on the court, I
don't want to recruit him
Even though recruiting is in-
cluded in lectures, Harrison
quickly points out that he does
not use summer camps as a
recruiting tool. "We use this as
more as an exposure tool he
said. "If you see someone who is
a top prospect, then you start
catering to him, and we don't
want to do that
So Harrison doesn't pick
favorites. Instead, he treats all the
players the same. Even if he
sometimes has to be a little blunt.
"Now we're all gonna work on
some things that I think suck right
now. And if I see any o! you mop
ing, do you know what I'm gonna
say?"
Harrison then puts his arm
around a camper's shoulder. "I'm
gonna say, 'Are you sick? Arc you
tired? Are you hungry?"
The campers began snicker

Pirates Attend Ail-Star Game
J
Pirate .Sews
After leading a once wandering
team to a 16-13 finish last year,
ECU Head Coach Charlie Har-
rison will again have his work cut
out for him this season.
Harrison has three starting
plavers returning, but he lost two
valuable inside men ? Charlie
Green and Johnny Edwards.
Replacing those two won't be an
easy task, and Harrison will be
depending on quite a few
freshmen to fill the void.
"We had an okay year, but
now we've got to build on that
and repeat it Harrison said.
"It's not gonna be easy.
"We've got more question
marks this year than we had last
vear. I think scoring will take
care of itself, but our big ques-
tion mark is inside defense
Harrison will bring in one of
the best recruiting classes ECU
has ever had, but he's not too
sure at this point just how effec-
tive they will be. "I'm going to
have to depend on them a lot
he said "but I don't know how
they're going to act
Speaking of incoming
freshmen, three ECU basketball
.recruits and eight Pirate football
players will play in the East-West
;A11-Star games next week in
Greensboro.
Roy Smith, a 6-7 forward-
center from Gastonia, will play
on the West squad. Playing for
the East will be Derrick Battle, a
6-6 forward from Northern
?Nash, along with Jack Turnbill, a
69 center from Wilmington.
:ECU hasn't had three basketball
players participating in the games
i since the mid-1960's.
Eight of 11 North Carolina
freshmen who signed with ECU
will attehd the prestigious East-
West all-star event. Those players
are: Ellis Dillahunt, Ron Gilliard,

A Look Inside
The conference and Ray come
are set to produce their own
regional telecasts of games, but
Supreme Court Justice Byron
White has issued a temporary
order that leaves the current
NCAA television contract intact.
The lower courts have ruled
against the NCAA leaving the
door open for colleges and con-
ferences to negotiate their own
deals if the rulings stand. ACC
and network officials said
White's action could not be inter-
Dreted for or against the league's
plans to set up its own football
network.
The body of Soviet diver Sergei
Chalibashwili was flown from
Edmonton Monday on the first
leg of a somber journey that end-
ed Tuesday in Moscow. The
21-year-old diver died this
weekend of massive head injuries
at Edmonton's University
Hospital. He injured himself in a
diving accident during the World
University games.
Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
will defend his WBA lightweight
title against unbeaten number
one contender Orlando Romano
of Peru. The bout is slated for
Sept. 15. In Mancini's last fight,
he scored a 10-round decision
over George Feeney in a non-title
contest in February.
World record-holder Calvin
Smith broke away from the pack
to win the 100 meters race at an
international track and field meet
in Nice, France. Smith set the
world mark last month at the Na-
tional Sports Festival with a time
of 9.93 seconds. His winning time
yesterday was 10.44 seconds.
Defending Champion United
States had an easy victory over
inexperienced Norway ? winn-
ing all three matches at the
Women's Federation Tennis Cup
in Zurich, Switzerland.
Because of injuries to Tracy
Austin and Kathy Jordan, the
Americans were forced to give a
singles debut to Candy Reynolds.
She responded by beating her op-
ponent, 6-4, 6-2 in the first
match.
Andrea Jaeger needed under 40
minutes to earn the United States
a second singles victory, then
Reynolds and Paula Smith team-
med up for the double triumph.
Hard times appear to be over
for Jose Luis-Clerc. Last night,
the 24-year-old Argentine won
his first tennis tournament since
January by thrashing Jimmy
Aria, 6-3, 6-1, in the final of the
U.S. Pro Tennis Tournament at
Brookline, Mass. The second-
seeded Clerc needed only 76
minutes to dispose of his 18-year-
old challenger and win $34,000.
What is the probability that so-
meone will someday break Hank
Aaron's record of 755 career
home runs? Is there anyone play-
ing the game today with even the
remotest chance of hitting 700
home runs? The answer to both of
these questions appears to be no.
Bill James, author of The
Baseball Abstract, has done ex-
tensive research on the sport of
baseball in an attempt to answer
questions such as the preceeding
two. James has developed a for-
mula that shows the most-likely
candidates for reaching the 500
600- and 700-homer plateau.
James' formula includes such
factors as the hitter's age, number
of career home runs and an
established HR level for each
player.
His research shows that it is
highly unlikely that anyone will
ever break Aaron's mark. For ex-
ample, Mike Schmidt, who is the
leading candidate, had 349 career
home runs at the beginning of the
1983 season. Aaron, on the other
hand, already had 442 at the same
age (32).
No major leaguer at any age has
hit as many home runs as Aaron
had at the same age. Nobody is
even close. Just in order to hit
700, Schmidt would have to keep
blasting 40-45 home runs a year
until he was 40.
The top five players with a
chance of hitting 500 homers are:
1.Mike Schmidt.28
2.Eddie Murray.12
3.Bob Homer11
4.Reggie Jackson.10
5.Dale Murphy.03
The only players that James
lists with a shot at hitting 700 are
Schmidt (6?o) and Murray (lVo).
With the increasing use of
"specialists" such as relief pit-
chers, pinch hitters and pinch run-
ners, it is becoming a rare sight to
see a player play as many innings
and as many games as was the
case in the past.
With these factors and the
statistics supplied by The Baseball
Abstract, it appears that Aaron's
long-ball mark is safe. Just don't
tell Dale Murphy about it.

Even though they are in the
thick of the first-place battle in
the National League East, the
Philadelphia Phillies decided it
was time for a change so they
fired manager Pat Corrales on
Monday.
Corrales, who managed the
Texas Rangers for three years,
was signed to a two-year contract
on Nov. 4, 1981 and had the con-
tract extended by a year after the
1982 season. He led the Phillies to
an 89-73 record and second place
in the NL East last season.
Corrales has been replaced by
General Manager Paul Owens,
who will take over a team with a
43-43 record as of Tuesday.
Owen, 59, said he will just be in
the dugout for this year and will
return to the front office next
year.
Boston's Wade Boggb. who had
15 hits in 28 at-bats for a .536
average, was named Monday as
the American League Player of
the Week. Dusty Baker of the Los
Angeles Dodgers, who hit .500
with three home runs and 12 RBls
last week, was chosen as the NL
Player of the Week.
Los Angeles reliever Steve
Howe was reinstated by the
Dodgers Sunday after providing
the team with the results of a test
for drug use. Howe's brief
suspension came after he arrived
late for a game Friday night and
later refused to submit to team-
supervised tests for drug use.
In a Monday night game
against Detroit, the Oakland A's
executed a triple play in the third
inning.
Detroit DH John Wockenfuss
lined a ball to right fielder Rick
Peters who doubled up Lance
Parrish on second base. Oakland
second baseman Tony Phillips
then relayed the ball to first to
catch Glenn Wilson before he
could get back.

This week's trivia question:
1983 is the fourth season that the
Game-Winning RBI has been kept
as an official statistic. Which
major-league player has had more
GWRBIs in those three and one-
half years?
Answer to last week's question:
Amos Otis, Kansas City Royals
center fielder, has been playing
the same position for the same
team for more years than anv
other active player.
Telvision Sports Telecasts To Be
Offered For Monthly Fee Charge?
By RON BERGMAN
Los Angeles offers a glimpse in-
to the future of sports and televi-
sion.
It started last July when ON TV
offered the Sugar Ray Leonard-
Roberto Duran fight as a loss
leader to attract new customers to
its service, which provides uncut
and uninterrupted movies and
sports telecasts to homes for a
monthly fee.
He anticipated that 50,000
subscribers would pay $10 each to
watch the welterweight title bout.
Instead, 126,000 paid ON TV
$1.26 million, half of which went
to the fight promoters.
And i, 500 more customers than
usual hooked up that month.
The service costs each
subscriber $227.40 a year, plus
$39.95 for installation. The
15,000 extra customers therefore
will pour another $4 million into
ON TV during a 12-month period.
ON TV's competitor in the Los
Angeles area, SelecTV won the
right to offer its subscribers the
heavyweight title fight between
Muhammad Ali and Larry
Holmes in October. An amazing
40,000 of the 65,000 SelecTV
subscribers paid $10 each to watch
it.
When the Duran-Leonard
rematch was set for November,
botn ON TV and SdectTV were
allowed to show the fight, and
they raised the charge to $15 Of
ON TV's 350,000 subscribers, and
29455 plugged in, paying
$441,825. That means the second
fight grossed $2,781,825 in one
market along.
The money made from these
three events is only one television
market could portend something

By DAVID MOFFIT
ll?IS?an??in?
SUWANEE, Ga.
(UPI) ? James Bntt
is playing catchup
after drawn-out con-
tract negotiations
delayed his arrival at
the Atlanta Falcons'
preseason camp, but
the rookie defensie
back says that won't
be a factor by time the
regular season beginv
"I'm a little behind
in the learning pro-
cess, but six week-
from now you won't
be able to tell said
Britt, former Loui-
siana State star and
the Falcons' second
round draft choice.
The Falcons didn't
get around to signing
Britt until after first
coming to terms with
their No. 1 draft
choice, defensive end
Mike Pitts (Alabama)
and that, under NFL
rules, prevented the
6-foot, 185-pounder
from reporting until
several days later than
the other rookies.
"I had hoped that
we'd have all the
details worked out in
time for me to report
when 1 was supposed
to said Britt. "It
just didn't work out
that way
Braves general
manager Tom Braatz
blamed the delay on
Britt's agent, Ray
Anderson, saying that
in the case of both
Britt and Pitts, "We
hit on two agents who
were doing their first
NFL contracts and
they waited to get all
the information they
wanted. That was the

WASHINGTON
(UPI) ? Not tonight,
Josephine. Not in
sweltering 93-degree
heat, anyway.
As one wag in the
RFK Stadium press
box suggested ?
maybe Luke Appling
is over the hill.
You had to say this
for the sprightly
76-year-old, a one-
time Chicago White
Sox shortstop: he
nearly busted his
bridgework trying to
do the same thing in
Monday night's se-
cond annual Old
Timers' Cracker Jack
Classic as he did in
last year's contest
when he came out of
the pages of the past
to re-endear himself
to the whole country
with a dramatic first-
inning home run into
the left-field stands
off fellow Hall-of-
Famer Warren Spahn.
They did everything
they could to recreate
the situation in Mon-
day night's five-
inning frolic at RFK.
Appling led off
again for the
American Leaguers
and Spahn started for
the National
Leaguers, who won
the game, 5-3.
Spahn's first pitch
was way outside for a
ball and the crowd of
31,160, who paid as
much as $15 a ticket
to see their old heroes
perform, booed lusti-
ly. His second pitch
was in the dirt and the
crowd, all hoping to
see Appling reach the
seats again, booed
some more.
Spahn then came in
a few feet from the
rubber on the mound
in an effort to get the
ball over the plate.
Quite honestly, he
wanted to see Appling
hit one also.
Luke did ? but it
was a soft popup to
third baseman Ron
Santo. Appling got
one more chance to
hit in the third and
walked, after which
he drew a warm ova-
tion when he was
removed for a pinch
runner by former
Philadelphia Phillies'
manager Eddie Sauer,
handling the winners.
This time it was Al
Kaline and Brooks
Robinson who
pumped home runs
into the left-field
seats, only about 260
feet from home plate.
Appling wasn't all
that disheartened
about his failure to
repeat last year's spec-
tacular performance.
"Someone asked
me if I expected to hit
another one he

SUWANEE, Ga.
(UPI) ? James Britt
is playing catchup
after drawn-out con-
tract negotiations
delayed his arrival at
the Atlanta Falcons'
preseason camp, but
the rookie defensive
back says that won't
be a factor by time the
regular season begins.
"I'm a little behind
in the learning pro-
cess, but six weeks
from now you won't
be able to tell said
Britt, former Loui-
siana State star and
the Falcons' second
round draft choice.
The Falcons didn't
get around to signing
Britt until after first
coming to terms with
their No. 1 draft
choice, defensive end
Mike Pitts (Alabama)
and that, under NFL
rules, prevented the
6-foot, 185-pounder
from reporting until
several days later than
the other rookies.
"I had hoped that
we'd have all the
details worked out in
time for me to report
when I was supposed
to said Britt. "It
just didn't work out
that way
Braves general
manager Tom Braatz
blamed the delay on
Britfs agent, Ray
Anderson, saying that
in the case of both
Britt and Pitts, "We
hit on two agents who
were doing their first
NFL contracts and
they waited to get all
the information they
wanted. That was the
unfortunate thing
about it
However, Ander-
son said the delay was
caused by the Falcons
failure to get back to
him as soon as he had
expected. "The ball
he said, "was in their
court
Whatever, Britt, a
college cornerback
who doesn't know yet
whether he'll play
cornerback or safety
in the pros, finally ar-
rived and Falcons
Coach Dan Henning
says he's liked what
he's seen so far.
"Conditioning is
no problem said
Britt. "I kept in shape
by running a mile and
a half every day and
doing some other
work on my own. My
biggest job is learning
as much as I can as
quickly as I can.
"Defense, whether
you are playing col-
lege or pro ball, is
about the same. At
least it has seemed
that way so far
although I suppose it
will get more com-
plicated later on.
There's no substitute
for the experience that
some of the (Falcons)
veteran defensive
backs have. You
don't learn in one
summer what some of
the people I'm con-
tending against have
learned in three to six
years
Britt noted that
LSU ran a pro-type
offense more than
most of the teams the
Bengals played
against and he feels he
got more of the type
experience he needs
during intra-squad
practice sessions than
he did during actual
games.
Britt says he follow-
ed the Falcons,
especially the past
couple of years when
his former teammate
and friend, linebacker
Lyman White (who
spent last season on
injured reserve), was
Atlanta's No. 2 pick
in '81.
"I prefer playing an
aggressive defense
he said. "I like the
way the Falcons used
to get after people
before the league
changed the bump
rule. You can't do
that as much now so
you have to use your
head more
Britt has 4.6 speed
in the 40-yard dash
and he thinks that's
quick enough to get
the job done even
though there are
receivers in the NFL
who have been clock-
ed at 4.3.
"The important
thing is that I have to
be 4.6 all the time
he said. "I can't af-
ford to drop off to 4.7
by the end of prac-
tice
The Falcons were
rated one of the better
pass defenders in the
NFL back in the days
when they were able
to knock receivers
around, but that has
been one of their
weaknesses the past
few years.
"The nature of the
game is that it's ag-
gressive and
physical said Henn-
ing. "We want to be
as aggressive and as
physical as we can
without causing
ourselves to commit
errors. We don't want
to overextend
ourselves defensively
so that we give up big
plays and cause the
game to get out of
hand
John Marshall,
who was picked by
Henning this past
winter as his defensive
coordinator, says
after the Falcons new
staff has had time to
evaluate the players,
"We hope to install
some things that will
make us an effective
defensive unit
Henning, who suc-
ceeded Leeman Ben-
nett on Feb. 1, says
even though a half
dozen veteran defen-
sive backs returned,
"every job is wide
open. Things that
were taken for
granted in the past
can't be taken for
granted now. We have
no preconceived no-
tions. Everybody
needs to show us what
they are capable of
doing
"I know I've got to
work hard if I'm to
have a shot said
Britt. "But hard work
has never bothered
me. I'm prepared to
do whatever it takes
Britt was asked
about his reaction
when 19S9 Heisman
Trophy winner Billy
Cannon, one of
LSU's biggest heroes,
was recently accused
of being one of the
principals in a $5
million counterfeiting
ring.
"It was t shock
said Britt. "I just
hope people also will
remember all the good
things he did

one year in 600 times
at bat. How do you
expect me to hit two
of them in two at

Appling works as a
batting instructor for
the Atlanta Braves in
their minor-league
system. He injured his
shoulder showing one
of the Braves' minor-
leaguers how to swing
the bat a few weeks
ago, but he didn't use
that as an alibi for his
failure to hit a home
run.

quarters, Spahn, a
20-game winner 13
different times during
his career, seemed a
bit disappointed that
Appling had not con-
nected off him again.
"It wouldn't have
been the worst thing
in the world if Luke
hit another one he
said. "It's kinda fun
doing the things you
used to do. You can't
run like you used to
and you can't throw
like you used to. We
all know that but we
all want to do a decent
job. We don't want to
embarrass ourselves
Harmon Killebrew,
another veteran
remembers his move
from backyard
baseball to the big
leagues well. "I was
only 17 when I signed
with Washington and
this was where I grew
up he said. "I join-
ed the club in
Chicago, and the se-
cond day I was there I
was put in as a pinch

went on, mindful of
how much he slowed
up near the end.

Television Sports
Produce Revenue
For Top Networks
Cont'd From Page 8
No one knows
when this will happen,
and a few doubt that
it will be allowed to
happen.
But Bob Arum, the
head of Top Rank
Productions, thinks
the time is ripe for
boxing. "There are
sufficient pay-TV
outlets, especially per-
view pay TV, that in
three years on the out-
side there will be a
complete turnover
he said.
"Boxing will be
eliminated from net-
work TV because
revenues will exceed
what free TV can buy.
Even the middle fights
will be gone. Assume
you have 16 million
homes with pay-TV.
If 25 percent of those
homes can charge $5,
you could make a
bundle?$20 million
for one fight. We
realized $20 million
from (theater) TV for
Leonard-Duran. The
networks can offer
$5.5 million, tops, for
a fight
And if title fights
are out of the reach of
commercial televi-
sion, then the net-
works might not want
to show any fights at
all.
"We've invested
millions of dollars in-
to boxing said Jim
Spence, senior vice
president of ABC
Sports. "If we know
that plums aren't go-
ing to be available,
are we as an industry
going to be willing to
invest in future fights
that are less than
plums? 1 think the
answer is no
Projected pay-TV
revenues can be mind-
boggling.
Say, for instance,
the World Series was
offered for a modest
$1 a game to the 22
million homes that,
on the average, are
tuned in each Oc-
tober. The money
from a four-game
series would then
equal the radio and
TV rights currently
paid to all 26 major
league baseball teams
every year for all their
games, regular
season, playoff and
World Series.
Mancini Fights
Mystery Man
NFW YORK (AP)
? Lightweight Orlan-
do Romero, a mystery
man from Peru, has
burst upon the big-
time boxing scene to
fight for the World
Boxing Association ti-
tle.
Though ranked as
the WBA's No. 1 con-
tender, Romero is vir-
tually unknown in the
United States. His 31
fights all have taken
place in either his
country or the
Dominican Republic
against opponents
most of whom were as
little-known as he.
"I know enough
said Ray "Boom
Boom" Mancini, who
will make a man-
datory defense of his
WBA crown against
Romero Sept. 15 at
Madison Square
Garden
"I know he is
unbeaten, so he must
be pretty good. I
know he is a good-
looking fighter from
the films I've seen
Mancini also knew
the 23-year old South
American was a left
hander.
"That should be no
problem Mancini
said Monday at a
news conference at
which promoter Bob
Arum announced the
fight. "The only time
left handers are a pro-
blem is if they move
around the ring a lot.
Then, they're hard to
pin down. But he's
going to be coming at
me. He wants to take
my title
Romero, who
speaks no English,
smiled when an inter-
preter explained what
Mancini had said.
The fight, to be
televised on closed cir-
cuit and cable outlets,
will be Mancini's first
since Feb. 6, when he
won a 10-round deci-
sion over George
Feeney in Italy, and
his first title defense
since Nov. 13, when
he knocked out Duk
Koo Kim in the 14th
round in Las Vegas.
The South Korean
challenger died of
brain injuries.
Mancini
acknowledged that he
was not as sharp as he
would like because of
his inactivity. But he
said he was in good
physical shape except
for the after-effects of
a viral infection
earlier this month.
"The infection
knocked me out
said Mancini, who
described the illness as
"worse than a bad
cold. My white blood
cell count was low and
they wanted me to
rest.
"Now I'm
underweight he
complained. Mancini
said he weighed only
one or two pounds
over the 135-pound
weight limit. "At this
stage, I should be 141
or 142, but I'll be all
right when I get to
training camp
The Youngstown,
Ohio boxer said, "I
always stay in condi-
tion. Even when I had
my broken collar-
bone, I ran.
The injury to Man-
cini's right collarbone
cancelled his May 27
title fight with Ken
Bogner in
Bophuthatswana.
Mancini, 22, has a
record of 26-1, his on-
ly loss a knockout at
the hands of Alexis
Arguello in a World
Boxing Council
lightweight title fights
on Oct. 3, 1981. He
has scored 20
knockouts.
professional fight on
July 21, 1979. He has
12 knockouts.
