(Jon Jordan ? Photolab) THE EAST CAROLINIAN MAY 25,1988 Facts, pros and cons of condoms use HEALTH COLUMN BYSHERRI I'm considering the condom as a contraceptive choice?Can you tell me more about it? A condom is a kind of contra- ceptive method made from either thin rubber or treated animal skin sheath. The condom is to prevent the transmitting of semen from one person to another. It is worn by the male by placing it over the erect penis. Some condoms come with a reservoir or a nipple end which allows semen to collect there. If the condom does not have this special tip, one-half inch of space should be left at the end to prevent rupture and leakage. Specific instructions for apply- ing and removing condoms can be found in condom packages or WILSON from your health care provider. If the condom breaks or leads, a foam or jelly spermicide should be inserted into the vagina imme- diately. Condoms, if used correctly, arc 97 effective. In actuality, be- cause some users are careless or use it improperly, the effective rate is 75-85. If spermicidal creams or foams are used with condoms, the effectiveness is greatly increased. Availablity is the major advan- tage to using the condom. There are different qualities of condoms available, and many drug stores carry them. The ones found in gas station rest rooms usually are not the higher quality condoms. The ECU Student Health Service pro- vides quality condoms at a lower cost and men or women may purchase them. Another advantage of using condoms is that it allows males to take part in the responsibilty of providing a contraceptive method. The final advantage is one that had been given much attention recently. This is that condoms may help in the preven- tion of sexually transmitted dis- eases such as gonorrhea, ch- lamydia, syphilis, genital warts, hepatitis, and other STD's. It has been proven in a laboratory test- tube that the spermicide Non- oxynol-9 kills the AIDS virus, there are some disadvantages to using condoms. First, some people feel it interrupts foreplay to apply the condom immediately before intercourse; although other people feel it could be fun and add to the foreplay. Second, heat deteriorates rubber, so con- doms should not be stored where heat could destroy them, like wallets or cars. Third, on rare occasions, there may be an aller- gic reaction to rubber condoms or the lubrication in some condoms. Some lubrications will deterio- rate the rubber, such as Vaseline. For this reason, lubricants should notbe used unless it is known that it will not harm the condom. A common complaint is that con- doms reduce the sensation during intercourse, but now there are many types that cause very little loss of sensitivity. As a contraceptive method, condoms are effective, and their effectiveness can be increased by spermicides. The most important thing to keep in mind, is that absti- nence is the best contraceptive method at 100 effectiveness. Abstinence is also the best pre- vention against STD's, but if you plan on engaging in sexual inter- course, using condoms may be the best prevention method we have against STD's. Overall, the advantages gTeatly outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, con- doms should be used during in tercourse even if other forms of contraceptive methods are being used at the same time. Memorial honors hostage held abroad GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) ? The brother of a hostage in Leba- non says acts of compassion such as the dedication of a hostage memorial here help families cope with the uncertainty of their loved one's captivity. "We are heartened by the loave and caring and understanding we've been shown here An- thony Cicippio of Pennsylvania said Monday evening. "What has been done here today is a true example of the brotherhood of man Joe Cicippio has been a hostage since Sept. 12,1986. He was acting comptroller of the American Uni- versity in Beirut when he was kidnapped. Donald Mell, an Associated Press photographer who saw AP correspondent Terry Anderson kidnapped on March 16,1985, described the kidnapping and the fear that he felt at the time. Mell suggested that those gathered in Greenville also pay tribute to the 250 Marines who died in Lebanon when terrorists drove a care filled with explosives into their com- pound. "Terry and I covered that story he said. "He was an ex- Marine and I saw how affected by it all he was Maryland Hughes, accompa- nied by her husband, Robert, said she and the rest of the family of Frank H.

She said she is optimistic that the hostages will be freed soon. An American flag honoring each hostage was raised over the memorial. A portion of the ceremony was dedicated to Terry Waite, tne Anglican Church official who was taken hostage as he worked for the release of the previously cap- tured hostages. A flag dedicated to the missing in action servicemen in Vietnam also was raised over the memo- rial. Pot smokers protest errupts in violence had left unmolested in past years, Senators Kennedy, Helms have hideaway offices in Washington WASHINGTON(AP)?While Sen. Jesse Helms and Sen. Ted Kenncdv may have little in com- mon on the floor of the Senate, both have had access to the same hideaway office in the Capital. Helms is the most recent occu- pant of the office, where he can sometimes be been baging out as many as 100 letters a week on a manual typewriter. Few people know about the senator's hideaway offices tucked away in the Capitol, a block away from their public offices. The Capitol sanuctuaries are where the senators with enough seniority to get one retrat to read, rlax and reflect, the Greensboro News & Record reported. Barbara Lukcns, Helms' press secretary, wouldn't guess how much of Helms' day is spent in his retreat because his staff often doesn't know he's there. The person on Capitol Hill who perhaps knows most about the hideaways is Bill Cochrane, a North Carolina native who is senior adi viser to the Senate Rules Committee. The rules committee decides which raking senators get what hideaways. "We don't make any secret of who has a hideaway of ficc, but we don't announce where they are Cochrane said.

UI allows firearms on campus MOSCOW, IDAHO (CPS) ? University of Idaho students ha vc won the right to keep firearms on campus. They will, however, have to store them in special lockers. UI officials decided in late April to reject a Safety Office proposal to ban guns from campus dorms, and voted instead to build a spe- cial school storage shed for weap- ons. "We want to preserve the op- portunities for hunters to go hunt- ing and at the same time we're trying to greatly reduce the risk that is present with our unregu- lated system said Dean of Stu- dents Services Bruce Pitman. Idaho was one of the few cam- puses ? if not the only one ? in the U.S. to allow students to have guns. In 1982, for example, Ten- nessee legislators made posses- sion of a gun or hunting knife on campus a felony. "The overwhelming majority of universities in the United States and Canada have a policy against allowing students to store fire- arms in their rooms said Dan Keller, the director of public safety at te University of Louis- ville, who trains college law en- forcement officers. Even letting campus police carry guns has been controversial at some schools, though on April 1 Michigan State University police switched to mew semi-automatic handguns "to better protect stu- der ts as well as themselves safety chief Bruce Benson ex- plained. At Idaho, however, the issue dealt with whether or not stu- dents could join hunting season. Pitman saw the storage area as a compromise. The area, he said, will operate much like a safety deposit box. "We'll provide a security system for the first 2 or 3 levels of entry into the area.

The Lieutenant Governor stated, "We must work to guaran- tee that our senior citizens are not institutionalized simply because there is a lack of home-based care in their community Jordan called for a $5.6 million program recommended by the Study Commission on Aging to be presented during the 1988 General Assembly Session. The plan includes: $720,000 for In-home health services, $2,000,000 for Transportation assistance, $720,000 for Senior Centers, $1,000,000 for Family Car- egivers and, $600,000 for Information and Referral Services, In addition to State support, Jordan pointed out the need for strong community efforts. "It is important that every community in North Carolina develop a lead agency to co-ordinate services for the elderly. Likewise, we must decide on a basic level of services which will be available to seniors across the state?regardless of size, location or economic base of the community.

MAC CLARK, Business Manager Page 4 Crackin' down Martin is proposing stronger drug laws for North Carolina The first week in May, Governor Martin announced a package of leg- islative proposals that would en- force the sentences imposed on drug traffickers. Trafficking is de- fined as the willful possession, with the intent to sell or distribute, in any way, to another person. Under these strict proposals, offenders will not be eligible for parole; there will be no credit gained for good behavior. So where do students fit in here? It's a known fact that our state is cracking down on drug misuse. It's a known fact that high school and college students contribute largely to the user population. Many people have seen their friends go to court on various drug charges: pos- session of a drug substance and possession with intent to sell being the primary ones. Many times have we seen these people released on probation, fined, sent to drug reha- bilitation centers and some even jailed. But now things are changing. Some may say, oh man, how many years can .5 grams get a person? Well, under Martin's proposals, you'll get the same amount of time, but there will be no reprieves, no suspended sentences and no proba- tion. These charges will be even more severe and carry a stronger, more effective penalty. With the maximum sentence on drug-related charges ranging from 5 years for one ounce of cocaine, to a maximum of 40 years for one pound of cocaine, a student's college career could be ruined if he is made to sit in prison full-term. It's hard simply getting started with a drug-related past, especially with some of today's employer's policies. Imagine trying to live down a record that shows you spent years in prison for possessing or trafficking drugs. Many will agree that drugs are not worth the risk. But how many ECU students, future ECU students or past ECU students felt is and was worth the risk? How many pos- sessed, sold and trafficked drugs and got away with it? How many will possess, sell, traffick and get caught? Is it worth the risk? How many people will throw away a fu- ture behind a nice polished desk, income of forty or fifty thousand dollars because they got caught up in the drug scene? Those of you traf- ficking now, while attending col- lege, how much money and time will be wasted if you're caught? On an even more serious note, drug kingpins convicted of traffick- ing, under Martin's new proposals, will get a mandatory life sentence? without benefit of parole, ever. These proposals are being viewed and accepted by many. Even if some proposed amendments weaken the main drug proposals, they can and will still be detrimental to students who unwisely gamble in the drug business. As part of the responsiblity that befall students and adults we must make sure our futures are secure. Drug involvement in any form takes away that security. Granted, drug dealing will be around until the end of time, but you don't have to be a part of it. Reagan1fs drug policy is clear By FRED BARNES THE NEW REPUBLIC President Reagan's line on the war against drugs is loud and clear. We're winning. In his State of the Union ad- dress on Jan. 25, he heralded "an untold American success story the decline of cocaine and marijuana use by teenagers. At the White House Conference for a Drug Free America on Feb. 29, he saidI believe the tide of the battle has turned, a nd we're beginning to win the crusade for a drug-free America And when he spoke to the American Society of News- pa per Editors on April 13, he tacked on a paragraph about "signs of progress" in the drug war. "We've stopped America's free fall into the drug pit he said. "We're getting our footing to climb out Reagan may believe his own cheer- leading, but practically nobody in his administration does. This was painfully evident on April 22 at the White House meeting of the National Drug Policy Board. Presentation after presentation stressed the shortcomings in the administration's sffort. "I don't know how I can honestly be very optimistic about the war on drugs said Health and Human Services Secretary Otis Bowen. Education Secretary William Bennett said, "We're not perceived as winning this war Francis Keating, an assistant treasury, likened the drive to interdict drugs at the border to "build- ing a 25-foot wall and facing 30-foot tides When the presentations stopped, Reagan ordered a 30-day review by the drug policy board of the administration's drug-fighting capabil- ity. Marlin Fitzwater, the White House spokesman, announced that the board will recommend ways "for increasing the federal effort against drug suppliers and users Don't get your hopes up. The review's emphasis, White House aides said, will be on more of the same-more massive drug testing, more drug treat- ment centers, more talk about "zero tolerance" of illegal drugs. What won't hapen is an invigorated attack on drugs. The administration is too divided for that. The drug debate inside the admini- stration is three-sided. The dominant faction, led by Attorney General Edwin Meese, wants to get tough with drug users. Two days before the meeting at the White House, he told a gathering of mayors that drug testing should be required of all American workers, not just federal employees. The goal, he said, is "zero tolerance of drugs in any place, anytime Allied with Meese is Ian McDonald, the director of the Drug Abuse Policy Office at the White House. McDonald followed Bowen at the meet- ing with Reagan and praised a state program suspending the driver's li- cense of anyone caught with drugs and another requiring jail sentences for us- ers. The leftist faction, led by Bowen, stresses education and rehabilitation. "Consistent non-use messages must be driven home by the family, the church, the workplace, schools, governors, local officials Bowen said at the meeting. "As for treatment, we need more re- search to improve the efficacy and effi- ciency of treatment strategiesAnd we need to get both the public and private sectors involved The rightist faction, led by Bennett, is wary of more treatment centers. As usual, Bennett is allied with Gary Bauer, the White House domestic adviser, and William von Rabb, the commisioner of customs. They point to a recent analysis of treatment programs in Washington which foundd that a third or less of heroin, PCP and cocaine users com- pleted treatment, and that of those who did a majority were back on drugs within a year. Bennett's chief aim is to get the mili- tary more involved. He has sent memos to Meese on this subject ("the military should do to the drug barons what our forces in the Persian Gulf did to Iran's navy"), dispatched aides to the Penta- gon and lobbied Pentagon officials. He's gotten nowhere. Daniel Howard, the Pentagon spokesman, says the mili- tary is doing plenty and is restricted by law from doing much more. Defence Secretary Frank Carlucci says he's "against giving the military arrest au- thority or getting them into law enforce ment At a March session of the drug policy board, Bennett clashed with William Taft fV, the deputy defence secret a rv. Bennett said the Pentagon should de- ploy 15 to 20 more helicopters to attack drug factories ou tsidc the Uni ted Sta Us. as was done in Bolivia in 1986. Taft said that would be too costly. He also said the use of American helicopters would only stir anti-Americanism. "Then put Daniel Ortega's picture on the side oi them Bennett shot back. White House aides concede the ad- ministration may be in for a hard time this fall. Democrates, especially Jesse Jackson, are trying to make "the drug issue the foreign policy issue of 1988 as one aide put it. Jackson calls for a drug czar to coordinate all the agencies in the drug war, more money for the Coast Guard and possible use of the military. Micheal Dukakis says roughlv the same, and he sounds both nationalistic and assertive. The White House doesn't. Reagan opposes a drug czar on the ground that it would necessitate more "big govern- ment (The Bennett faction wants one. But even surveys conducted for the White House by pollster Richard Wirth- lin in February found the public wants a large federal role in fighting drugs. Asked who should do the most to fight drug use, 55 percent said the federal government. The poll also found that while Reagan's standing in the drug fight remains high-nearly two-thirds favorable-about the same percentage think the drug problem is getting worse. That means the topic oi drugs is bound to be a political problem for Bush. He needs a drug program, and, as luck would have it, his aides are consid- ering one to restucturc the administration's entire anti-drug effort. In addition, he likes the idea of an inter- national military force, including U.S. forces, to interdict drugs. A drug czar "We may be for it a Bush adviser says. "It can't hurt It can't hurt Bush in the campaign, at any rate. AIDS (CPS) ?

Professor Manolita Bu I ECU Department of Fc Nicaragua's economy nine years after war In July 1979, folowing a bloddy struggle, the people of the small Central American nation of Nicaragua (current population approximately 3.5 million) succeeded in toppling the U.Sbacked, fight-wing Somoza dynasty, which had subjected the country to a brutal, corrupt military dictatorship for forty-five years. Nicaraguans were led in this st niggle by the Sandinista Front for National Libera- tion (FSLN), an organization which was founded in 1961 but only became capable of mobilizing massive popular support in the late 1970s. Today, nine years after the Somoza dynasty's ouser, Nicaragua is a land marked by a number of striking features. It is a poor country, even by Central American standards, with and antiquated economy, minimall industrial infractructure, and a capitall city still in ruins from the 1972 earthquake. It is a young country, with half the population under flic age of fi fteen and a high birth rate. It is a devoutly Catholic country, whose Church is sharply divided between a conservative hierarchy, which is vocally critical of the changes underway in Nicaragua, and a grassroots movement that subscribers to the tenets of liberation theology and supporters the Revolu- tion as a vehicle for realizing a Biblically mandated 'option for the poor The Nicaraguan economic picture is every bit as complex as the nation itself. The country's economy cannot be neatly categorized as either capitalist or socialist. Like political pluralism, a mixed economy is formally guaranteed in the new constitution, and that pledge has so far been respected in practice. The government is simply too pragmatic to saddle itself with responsibility for administering a larger share of the economy, since it is painfully aware that it is barely up to supervising the portion already under its jurisdiction. Besides the state's firm hold on a few strategic points of the economy?most notably banking and foreign trade, both of which have been completely nationalized?it has a degree of influ- ence disproportionate to its percentage of owner- ship, enabling it to steer the economy in the general desired direction without directly controlling every aspect of it. In turn, Nicaragua is currently plunged in a se- vere economic crisis characterized by periodic short- ages of many basic goods, skyrocketing inflation (over 2000 last year, the highest rate in Latin America), and acute scarcity of foreign exchange, and a bulging trade deficit and foreign debt. This crisis has several causes. The most immediate, and serious one is the U.Sbacked contra war, which has cost Nicaragua millionsofdollars in direct economic damage, lo?t production, and foregone investment. It has forced the goverment to shift scarce resources from programsss promoting economic growth to the war effort. The U.S. trade embargo and the credit boycott the Reagan Administration has orchestrated In the multilateral lending agencies has com- pounded the war's impact by drastically curtailing Nicaragua's access to foreign exchange and spare parts. This is not to say that U.S. policy is the sole source of the economic crunch. Governmental mismanage- ment has also contributed to the present mess. There is no question that the government has been guilty of its share of major policy blunders. The most obvious and costly one was its overemphasis on the state agricultural sector in the early years of the REvolu- tion, which had the effect of depriving campesinos (peasants) of an incentive to work, resulting in a sharp drop in productivity. The Sardinnistas have since recognized and redressed this mistake, even going so far as to breaklc up a number of large state farms into smaller plots, which are then turned over to landless agricultural laborers. There is another factor at work behind Nicaragua's current economic woes, a deeper- rooted, structural one that will be harder to deal with then either Sandinista mismanagement or the war. Like many Third World nations, Nicaragua's ex- ports are mainly primary, agricultural products (coffee, cotton, sugar, beef, etc.), and it has to import manufactured goods, industrial parts, and oil. As a result, the country has fallen victim to a phenome- non known as the 'declining terms of trade its export earnings gradually fall while the cost of its essential imports steadily rises, producing an ever wider trade deficit. This year Nicaragua's exports are expected to net about 250 million dollars while its imports are projected to cost close to 800 million. Nicaragua is not the only nation to experience this trend, many Third World and, in particular. Central American countries, suffer from the same affliction. None of Nicaragua's neighbors are much better off economically, despite often massive infusions of economic aid from the U.S. This structural economic problem iscompounded by the fact that, because the exact course and denouement of the revolutionary process remain in doubt, Nicaraguan entrepreneurs feel deeply uncertain about their future pro- spectsssssss, and therfore are hesitant to invest The result is that the economy suffers from a critical shortage of private investment, which public funds can only partially offset. Even with peace and the most competent econo- mists imaginable at the helm, Nicaragua would be undergoing severe economic troubles. It has essen- tially been dealt a losing hand in the international economic system, and it's going to take the govern- ment a long time to restructure the economy suffi- ciently to alter this fact. But no significant improve- ment in the economic situation is possible until the war ends. ? ?'00 These students enjoy tt Tans, sunglasses and n WEDNESDAY ATTIC The COMcdY ZONE WED The CoMedY ZONE WED 5th St. Entrance Now Open 752-7303 THE EAST CAROLINIAN MAY 25, 1988 s clear Frjnk Carlucci says he'f ; the military arrest au- ettinc them into law enforce .

But no significant improve- foomic situation is possible until the AIDS anxiety strikes in northern college (CPS) ? In what could be the first on many college AIDS panics to come, the approach of a mid- April blood drive scared a good portion of the Clarion University of Pennsylvania community into worrying that AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) was loose on campus. "This is absolutely rumor, with no truth to it Patricia Bledsoe of the campus Red Cross chapter told The Clarion Call, the student paper. Bledsoe was reacting to a rumor that a January campus blood drive had turned up 15 people who had AIDS, an invariably fatal virus that destroys victims' im- mune systems. AIDS can be spread through sexual contact and the sharing of intravenous needles with infected people. In 1985, blood banks dis- covered some of their supplies were infected with the AIDS vi- rus. They now routinely test sup- plies for the virus before using them. Blood bandks also routinely "defer" donations given by people with colds, who are using some kind of medication or, per- haps, have the flu. Bledsoe guessed the blood bank may have "deferred" several such flu cases in January, and that the action subsequently was attrib- uted to AIDS. But a new federal program, which will anonymously test some 30,000 collegians for AIDS nationwide during the 1988-89 school year, suggests the Clarion scare won't be the last. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta said in April it would anonymously test student blood samples for the AIDS virus at 30 campuses across the coun- try. In the program, students won't know when some of the blood they've given ? either as a dona- tion or as part of a physical exam at their campus clinics ? is sent to theCDCforAIDStsting,orevenif their campus is one of the 30 schools the CDC is trolling for blood. They also won't know the test's results, Dr. Margaret Bridwcll said in announcing the program in early April. The program's purpose, Brid- well explained, was to find out how widespread the virus is an American campuses, and help discover if it has infected signifi- cant numbers of women and heterosexual males. "There are no grounds for anxi- ety counseled Miguel Garcia- Tunon of the Ameriacan College Health Association when asked if the secrecy of the program might not provide fertile grist for ru- mors and fears, ?n-save ????????? Racial tensions bring reform, unrest to universities around the nation (CPS)? The anti-racism pro- tests that have closed up build- ings, attracted police, provoked suspensions and sit-ins and gener- ally rocked dozens of campuses in recent months are, in fact, forcing changes at American colleges, ac- tivists and observers now say. Scores of schools have adopted tougher penalties for students who engage in racist behavior. Others have adopted more ag- gressive programs to recruit more minority students and faculty members, and the efforts arc start- ing to pay off. The University of Georgia, for example, on April 28 proudly announced it had recruited 15 new black faculty. At the same time, a Brandcis University poll of 13 peer schools found minority stvidcnt applica- tions for the fall, 1988, term were more numerous than ever. "Protests said Dr. Dolores A. Austin of the University of Cali- fornia at Santa Barbara, "havbe placed these issues at the top of the agenda instead of the bottom or the middle "The chages that have come about said Barbara Ransby, a grad student and anti- racism ac- tivist at the University of Michi- gan, "are a direct result of student efforts Ransby remains cautious, however. "We tend to be skeptical about broad public relations state- ments by administrators "Our focus is on results, not promises Protests against campus racism have occurred at the universities of Massachusetts, Vermont, Michigan, California-Berkeley, Iowa and at Dartmouth College, Penn State, Hampshire College, Williams College and scores of other schools in recent months. In response, many schools an- nounced broad new programs to solve racial problems. Notre Dame, for one, estab- lished a $12 million plan to in- crease its undergraduate minority population from 11 percent to 15 percent by 1992. North Carolina State pledged to hire more black faculty members and expand its African-American Studies curriculum. The U iversity of Colorado began working with its black students to further in- crease black enrollment. The Uni- versity of Nebraska appointed al 1 -member commission to inves- tigate the school's problems in recruiting minorities. While Ransby says those efforts may gbe sincere, she calls them "concessions" to minority de- mands, not "independent innova- tions "It's understandable to be skeptical said Meyer Weinberg, a University of Massachusetts education professor who has stud- ied campus racism. Ransby's University of'Michi- gan, he-said, farled'J ta reach a court-mandated goal of 5 percent black enrollment last fall despite repeated vows to do so. "The uni- ECU Spanish institute ECU has been selected as the site for the first Governor's Lan- guage Institute for Spanish Teachers, one of three such insti- tutions planned this summer to promote second language educa- tion in North Carolina. The institutes are being con- ducted to serve approximately 60 public and private school teach- ers of French, German and Span- ish from throughout the state. By next year, the Governor's Lan- guage Institute program hopes to have four sites to accomadate these languages and Latin. Governor Martin feels that "learning languages is increas- ingly important to the economic, political and social life of our state " Professor Manolita Buck of the ECU Department of Foreign Lan- guages and Literature will be di- rector of the Spanish Institute at ECU. The staff will include Dr. Michael Schinasi and Mrs. Raquel Manning of the ECU foreign lan- guage department. The institute will be open to approximately 20 Spanish teach- ers from grades six through 12. The program consists of an inten- sive four-week residential lan- guage institute, using only the language that they are studying, to communicate. Dates of the institute are June 27 through July 22. Governor Martin is scheduled to attend the open- ing session at 9 a.m. June 27 in the foreign languages department in the new general classroom build- ing. vcrsity hasn't paid off When minority students occu- pied a UMass building in Febru- ary to call for stiffer penalties for white students who attacked a black student, Weinberg noted, there was "a long history of com- plaints to administrators left unanswered The sit-in, he said, forced the adminstration to examine the minority students' compaints immediately, "It called the public's attention to the history of this relationship Even relatively new insults contiue to fester. In mid-April, a group of Univer- sity of Illinois fraternity members traveled to the University of Wis- consin, where they broke into an Afro-American Studies class, and threatened a black student and professor. Solomon Ashby of UW's Black Student Union is still waiting for administrators to respond. "Mi- nority students are being attacked from the outside he said. "We have to fend for ourselves. The university, in deliberateness of its investigation, is passing out the wrong message to students "The process of university decision making is too slow Austin agreed. The UMass protests, Weinberg reported, have been "avery pow- erful influence among .black stu- dents. Their morale is very high right now. They were able to pull their protest off Ransby concurred that "a very YxiYe smart enough to calculate the size of a Hydrogen atom. And you're still smoking? I S lfjrtnient ol Health Human Service' important aspect of the protests is that the students involved are not the rabble rousers the administra- tion may protray them to be. It's usually the most serious students who are participating in demos- trations. They are learning about society, law and about how the campus works Such knowledge, she added, will help them play a bigger role in future civil rights efforts and probably spark more campus anti- racism efforts now. "There's been some talk about a growing student movement Ransby said. "I believe it's in its embroyonic stages now. We can expect to see a lot more of this Many educators say they wel- come the new sense of empower- ment. When minortiy students charged a recent New Jersey De- partment of Higher Education conference on campus racial ten- sions was little more than a public relations move, state Chancellor T. ties she's interviewed all plan to stay in school?and tell other minorities to attend UCSB?in part because they feel the are forc- ing some changes. They are similarly heartened by schools' willingness to respond to them. "At least here, we are work- ing on it she said.

"Busi- ness as usual' may be the motto of the Moscow summit between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, a meeting expected to produce no major agreements but many smiles. lTie two leaders will be smiling not just for the television cameras, but in recognition that they are inching forward in serious nego- tiation on many issues, in contrast to the trans Atlantic shouting matches that characterized the early years of the Reagan admini- stration. Reagan's visit to Moscow, the first bv an American president in 14 years, is not so much a victory for the policies of cither power as a "truimph of logic as both sides realize they cannot afford to con- tinue the current pace of military competition, said John Stein- bruner of the Brookings Institu- tion. One of Gorbachev's advisers, Georgi Arbatov, agreed, telling a Washington news conference May 5, "We have synchronized phases of our development Reagan and Gorbachev have met three times, most recently in Washington last December when they signed a treaty to eliminate medium-range nuclear weapons. That treaty is being debated in the Senate, and it still is not clear whether it will be ratified before the May 29-June 2 summit in Moscow. If Reagan and Gorbachev can part company in Moscow without arguing about the Strategic De- fense Initiative, better known as Star Wars, or other contentious issues, it will mark something of a troops from Eastern Europe saysSpurgeonM.

You wouldn't like me when I'm an- gT- That quote ranks right up there with 'To the Batcave and "Up, up and away The real reason "Wonder Woman" got cancelled is because she never had a boss quote like those. (And speaking of WW, isn't it about time she got her reunion special?) Anyway, the Incredible Hulk had his TV movie Sunday night. Bill (I Belong To The William Shatner School of Acting) Bixby and Lou (I Still Can't Handle Those Speaking Roles) Ferrigno reprised their roles as two halves of the scientist turned misunder- stood monster. Only this time he (they?) brought a friend with him (them?). "The Incredible Hulk Returns" was about 40 minutes of Hulk and his alter ego, the almost Fred MacMurray-like David Banner. The other hour and 20 minutes was devoted to The Mighty Thor in hopes he and his puny secret identity, Dr. Donald Blake, will get spun-off into their own series. Comic book fans will immedi- ately realize that Thor didn't quite translate into television as the same Goldilocks that runs around ?the Marvel Comics? Universe, shouting Shakespearean oaths 4ffl and smiting super villains with his hammer. Eric Kramer plays the role for laughs though. Even when he's psuedo-serious, it's a laugh. But Thor and Blake (played by Steve Levitt - whose last role was that of the nerd turned hunk in "Hunk See a pattern forming?) get the best lines in the show. Thor quips that Blake summons him to the worst places in the world. Blake shoots back with, "This isn't a date If Clark and Superman had more of this dia- logue, the last two "Superman" movies might have made some money. Oh. But Clark and Supes are the same person. In the comic, Thor and Blake are the same person (until recently but that situation defies explanation by even the people who write the damn comic). On TV, Blake "channels" the "spirit of Thor" onto this plane. Banner supplies the audience with the Webster's Third defini- tion of "channeling so everyone will understand this little plot device. Channeling is giving a spirit a physical form throught the use of a medium. Wei the medium in the case is Blake and Thor's hammer. But Blake also has to yell "Odin very loudly through a reverberator. This, unfortunately, makes the whole process sound just a leetle bit too much like He-Man and his bloody "By the Power of Greyskull speech. In the comics, Thor's costume has changed at least four times over the last two years in an effort to make him look more "like the Thor of Earthly legend So no wonder the TV folks just decided to give him a whole new look. But, Odin's beard! White fake- fur shoulder pads? A 10 pound belt buckle with a "T" engraved on it? The wings on the helmet were too low and flat, and he had no cape. Not even close to the Thor of ANY legend. As for Hulk (recently turned grey-skinned in the comic ? do these producers even READ the comics they are adapting?), he was pretty much the same. No talking, lots of growling and pos- ing and more ripped clothes than Stallone. Bixby is pretty much the es- sence of Bruce ? I mean DAVID Banner. No personality, and he has the ability to look like he's really in pain when he changes into Lou Ferrigno. The plot was pretty much the same one they used in about half the original "Hulk" shows - in- vention andor girl kidnapped by bad guys. Banner gets involved, turns into Hulk, saves the day and walks off into the sunset to some of the most depressing back- ground music I've ever heard. I've never understood why they didn't throw some super villains into these shows. Obviously, a green, two-ton, steroid freak is going to clobber any amount of merely mortal thugs you can throw at him. A super villain would at least be a challenge. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. It was about as ambitious as any other reunion special I've seen. Only Thor might actually have a chance at a series of his own, un- like the Austin kid from the "Six Million Dollar ManBionic Woman" special last summer. What they should have done though, if they're going to team up heroes, is bring back Spider- Man and Captain America. They could form a group. I feel sure Nicholas Hammond and Reb Brown haven't worked since '81 or '82. But what I really want to see is the return of Linda Carter as Wonder Woman. I doubt Debra Winger would want to be Wonder Girl again, but Chloris Leachman must need some work, so WW could at least see her mom on Paradise Island. But until that happy day, wo can only hope for a Thor weekly or quarterly series. So, for now, I'll write off into the sunset with Dr. Banner.

Fox smash, "The Secret of My Suc- cess For those with a taste for the macabre, Stephen King's "The Shining" and the thriller "The Jagged Edge" will be shown. Another regular feature will be the four Watermelon Feasts. Admission is free, and the event will be highlighted by a seed spit- tin' contest. And of course, there will be plenty of watermelons. The Student Union will also host three free concerts. Pasch says that everyone can "go out on the mall and jam with each other On June 16, local band Bad Bob and the Rockin' Horses will ride into some rock and roll. June 30 will showcase The Upper Level and July 7 will host another local band , the reggae masters The Amateurs. All three concerts begin at 9 p.m. Pasch urges all students who wish to get involved with the Student Union should come by their office (Mendenhall 234) and find out how to get on one of their many committees. If not, just sit back and enjoy the entertainment they've planned for you. It was previewed as far back as last Christmas, and this weekend, George Lucas's "Willow" opened up at the box office to anxious crowds. Part of the selling of this movie is the fact that it is written and produced by Lucas, who gave us "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones Lucas borrows much from his past films for "Willow and from Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings Some of the big film reviewers such as Siskel and Ebert were bothered by the common fantasy elements evident in the movie; brownies, trolls, dwarves (Elwins, in this) etc but that is not a fair critique for fantasy. Would you take the guns, horses, and Indians out of a traditional cow- boy movie? Perhaps thay wanted some aliens and cute droids in the film. Actually, the movie uses classic epic fantasy traditions in the tell- ing of the story. The hero, Willow himself, is swept into the adven- ture unwillingly, in epic form. This all begins when he and his small Elwin family find a baby floating down the river in Mases fashoin. The red-haired waif, who becomes popular for her fa- cial expressions throughout the movie, is Princess Elora, the child destined by prophecy to one day defeat the evil sorceress Bavmorda (who bears a striking resemblance to the wicked step- mother in Snow White). Willow is chosen to lead the baby to her destiny, and along the way meets up with the most color- ful character in the movie, Mad- martigan, played by Val Kilmer. Kilmer's character owes a Tot to Harrison Ford's Han Solo, but Madmartigan is a much more developed character than Solo. The same can't be said of his love interest Sorsha, and their rela tion- ship is a bit "pushed" by the writer. An interesting theme Lucas uses is that of making females very critical to the storyline, an idea often ignored in most films of this sort. The two most powerful magic users in the movie are women, and the catalyst of the entire plot is the baby girl, Elora Danan. This is a refreshing handle on a storyline that would be normally dominated by "manly" heroes. A lot of this film's success can be attributed by the direction of Ron Howard. Howard uses a very subtle hand in the direction, let- ting the story unfold at a natural pace, playing off the beauty of the sets and mattes used to create the world of Willow. The movie effectively draws in the viewer to sympathize with the main characters, and even the amusing sidebars like the Brown- ies (who have an daccent some- where between a leprechaun nad an old man) and the good sorcer- ess Razelle, who Willow keeps transforming into different ani- mals. BacX to lhc argument that Wil- lowborrows too much from J .R.R. Tolkein and the like. Okay, so Bavmorda's men are a lot like the Ringwraiths of Tolkein. Maybe Willow himself is much like Frodo the Hobbit. And perhaps the skull-faced "Phantom" owes his existence to the Horned King from the Lloyd Alexander tales. Well, that is a trademark of clas- sic hero storytelling. There is no original story, these are all myths and legends retold. The key is in the way they are told. Most of the elements in "Wil- low" can be found back in stories of the Norse, Celtic, and the Bible Unfortunately these ancient sto- rytellers didn't have the advan- tage of Industrial Light and Magic handling their special effects. Like any good fantasy, "Wil- low" creates a secondary world af awe and wonder for the viewer, and it doesn't have to get heavy- handed to do so. Humor is used consistently throughout, ana one can enjoy the weli-chorco- graphed fight scenes with Mad- martigan.

What made the difference was "Crocodile' Dundee a surprise blockbuster that grossed $175 million in the United States and Canada and did comparable busi- ness wherever it played. Now Hogan's back with "Crocodile' Dundee II which he swears will be the end of the outback adven- turer. "I've completed the circle he said. "The new one is a good movie; it stands up all by itself.

There was a palm-sized silver shooter with two bull heads en- graved on the handle, a black worn-leather Sgt. Friday holster complete with a white Dragnet emblem and six-shooter pistol, a Johnny Ringo holster sporting a painted-on white stagecoach and holding a buckaroo gun. There was a black bullet case with two of its original three silver slugs, paper ammunition for a super paper buster gun and a brown leather belt that can hold 12 toy bullets but only lOare still there. "Some kids are fascinated with some things, others are fascinated with others said Margaret Dameron, a friend of the Klenner family, as she surveyed the collec- tion Saturday.

(File Photo) By CAROLYN JUSTICE Sports Writer ECU's men's track team makes its 1 Oth consecutive appearance at the NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships, as it travels to Eugene, Ore June 1-4 to compete. Competing for the Pirates will be Ail-American Lee McNeill in the 100-meter dash, Eugene McNeill in the 200-meter dash and ECU's 400-meter relay team. Lee McNeill, who has yet to win at the NCAA's, qualified for this year's event as he ran a 10.26 in the 100 meters at this year's North Carolina Collegiate Track and Field Championships, held in Raleigh during April. The qualifying time for the NCAA's is 10.29, while McNeill's fastest time this year was the 10.26. Dennis Mitchell of Florida has run the fastest qualifying time for the NCAA's with a 10.10 race. McNeill, who did not qualify for the finals in last year's competition in Louisiana, holds the ECU record in the 100 meters with a 10.11. "Lee can have his best finish ever at the NCAA's this year says ECU track coach Bill Carson. "I think he can finish fifth or even higher, but in the 100 meters you can never predict what will happen Eugene McNeill finished seventh at the NCAA's Championships last June in the 200 meters, running the race in 20.45 seconds. This spring McNeill was hampered by injuries that almost stood in the way of his qualifying for the event this time around. "The competition in the 200 meters at the NCAA's is going to be awesome this year says Carson. "There are some tremendously fast runners and there will be five guys out in front and then the rest will just group together McNeill qualified for the NCAA's, running a 2051 in the 200 meters as well as qualifying for the 1C4A Championships, which were held at Yale University May 19-22. He came away with a first-place finish in the 100 meters and a second-place finish in the 200 meters. Lee McNeill was expected to take first in the 100 meters but he was disqualified after a false start and brother Eugene went on to take the win. Both McNeills will compete as members of the 400-meter relay team along with Junior Robinson and Ike Robinson at the NCAA's. The relay team qualified for the competition this year when they traveled to Jamaica and competed with last year's top 10 relay teams. ECU finished fourth with a clocking of 3959 seconds behind the running of the McNeill's, Junior Robinson and Kelvin Wrighton. At last year's NCAA's, the relay team finished fourth in 39.15 seconds, with Texas Christian of the Southwest Conference, taking first place with a time of 38.82. Another Southwest Conference team is at the top of the list this year as the relay squad from Texas A&M has recorded the season's fastest qualifying time with a clocking of 38.83. The Pirate relay team geared up for the stiff NCAA competition with a first-place finish at the IC4A events. The Pirates qualified for the finals at the competition as they won their preliminary heat with a time of 39.86, a new Clinton- Frank Stadium record. Wrighton, a junior from Edenton and a member of last year's relay team, pulled a muscle during the preliminary race and was replaced by Ike Robinson for the finals. The relay team went on to win the finals with a time of 40.25. "We beat a lot of really good teams at the IC4A's and the competition and the win will be good for us at the NCAA's said Carson. "We're going to change the order in the relay so that everyone will be in position to do their best for the team. We're going to have a practice meet with N.C. State, who also qualified for the NCAA's, and that will give us an idea of whether our new order works ECU finished sixth in the team standings at the IC4A's, which consisted of teams from the Big East, Atlantic 10 and the Ivy League. James Madison and George Mason, both of the Colonial Athletic Association, also finished in the top 10 in the team standings.

Things seem more than solid up front for the team that will try to defend the gold medal in Seoul in September. There are names such as David Robinson, Danny Manning, Charles Smith, Sean Elliott and high school phenom Alonzo Mourning. But the most interesting part of the list of approximately 20 players who will continue in the selection process is the guards. Thompson spoke Sunday of his concern with outside shooting and at point guard. "If we can play good defense and run, shooting's not as important, if we don't play good defense and are forced to play halfcourt then outside shooting becomes extremely important, Thompson said after watching the four teams in a public doubleheader scrimmage at McNichols Arena make just eight of 24 3-point shots. the valveisMji I 12 THE EAST CAROLINIAN MAY 25,1988 Votkins finally realizes dream v ORTH, Texas (AP) ? eran he'd like to admit, ?

"It wasn't pretty he said of the winning putt, "but fortunately they don't have to be pretty to be effective The bold, brash Wadkins, 38, fired a 5 under-par 65 in Sunday's windswept finale to beat Ben Crcnshaw, Mark Calcavecchia and Joey Sindelar by a shot and earn his second title of the year and his 18th since joining the Tour in 1971. His 67-68-70-65-270 was 10 under par and worth $135,000. The top prize hiked his 1988 winnings to $447,465 and his career earnings to $3,538,546, fourth behind Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Tom Kite. "It's special to win here, and winning in your backyard is exciting said Wadkins, who lives in nearby Dallas and spent Friday and Saturday nights at home after checking out of his motel on Friday. "Force of habit he quipped, implying that he was so accustomed to missing the cut here that he routinely headed home after two rounds. In 11 previous encounters with the challenging Colonial Country Club course, Wadkins merely flirted with a sub-par score, never embraced one. He played 35 competitive rounds without breaking par and finished no higher than 24th. "Hey, I nver disliked this course he said after Sunday's nationally televised cliffhanger. "I love the course. I just didn't play it good In what several players described as an incredible afternoon of pressure golf under nightmare conditions, Wadkins overtook third-round leader Clarence Rose with birdies on three of the first four holes and then gunned down Crenshaw, Calcavecchia and Sindelar in the stretch. Calcavecchia closed with a 66, Crenshaw with a 67 and Sindelar with a 68. Rose was in the hunt until a double bogey at the 18th added a dismal end to a 74 that left him three strokes behind the trio in second place. For Wadkins, it was a "miracle" chip shot at the 17th green that enabled him to save par and set the stage for the 18th-hole heroics. He confessed it was a shot he couldn't hit again with a bucket of balls. "I had no green to work with he said. "I was just trying to play a soft little plop shot The ball cleared a trap by inches and rolled almost to the lip of the cup. "It was a heck of a pitch he said. "I told myself, 'Let's not waste it. Let's go to 18 now and make a birdie He did. Pirates blown off by wind and Scott PITTSBURGH (AP) ? The Pittsburgh Pirates were nearly blown off the field in the ninth inning by swirling 50-mph wind gusts that accompanied a sudden thunderstorm. But even the storm couldn't compare to the way Houston pitcher Mike Scott blew through the Pi rates' lineup. The unbeaten Scott, armed with a n.arly unhittable split-finger fastball, registered his sixth consecutive victory with a four- hitr er as the streaking Astros beat rh Pa ates 3-0 Monday night. was awesome the Pirates' E yBonillasaid. "Theman was great. We didn't score any runs, we didn't have many hits. He pretty much blanked us In the only other National League game, Cincinnati beat St. Louis 8-3. The Atlanta-Chicago game was rained out. The Pirates' big guns ? Andy Van Slyke, Bonilla, Sid Bream and R.J. Reynolds ? fired blanks all night long and were a combined l-for-10. Scott didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning and his six- game winning streak is the longest of his career. "The split-finger was the best I've had all year said Scott, who beat the Pirates for the second time in a week. "I've been in a pretty good groove all season, really, from the end of spring training. I haven't had a bad day Scott was removed in the top of the ninth for a pinch hitter but received credit for a complete game when the rains came before the Pirates could bat in the ninth. Scott was dressed and ready to conduct interviews when he found out the game had been called after the umpires waited one hour, 15 minutes. "It's the first time I've ever finished a game in my street clothes he said. Newspapers and hot dog wrappers swirled out of the stands and into the player's faces and Jim Gott, Pittsburgh's 6-foot- 4,220-pound reliever, was nearly blown off the mound several times. "There was a strange satanic glow over the stadium Gott said. "I thought we were going to blow to Kansas Scott said. Scott, who beat the Pirates 3-2 in Houston last Tuesday night, got the only run he needed in the fifth on Kevin Bass' leadoff double and Rafael Ramirez's RBI single off John Smiley, 3-4. The Astros, winning for the sixth time in seven games, scored a run in the seventh on Chuck Jackson's sacrifice fly. Gerald Young's single and reliever Barry Jones' throwing error in the eighth preceded Jim Pankovits's sacrifice fly. "If you're hitting, you don't mind seeing the same guy again Pirates manager Jim Leyland said. "But when the pitcher's going good, it works the other way. It's a shame we lost because I thought John smiley pitched great, probably his best game of the season. But we didn't have much of a chance against Scott Nixon hopes sun will shine on Braves CHICAGO (AP) ? Russ Nixon says he doesn't like rainy days or doubleheaders and hopes the sun shines today when he makes his managerial debut for Atlanta. Nixon succeeded Chuck Tanner, who was fired Sunday night, but must wait until today to manage his first game with the Braves. Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs was rained out and rescheduled as part of a doubleheader today. "I never liked doubleheaders and I never liked rain delays Nixon said. "At least we haven't been scored upon yet However, Nixon conceded the rainout gave him a chance "to get my thoughts together and time to meet with and talk to some of the players. It's something that's needed but I would rather have played, definitely When Nixon does lead the Braves, he will be in charge of a team with a 12-27 record, the worst in the National League. "This isn't the first time I've been in that situation said Nixon, who took over Cincinnati in July 1982 and managed them through 1983 with the team finishing last each year. "I don't think anybody wants to be in last place, but usually when you take over a team it is in last place or close to it Nixon said. "If a club is going good, you don't replace the manager unless there is a complete breakdown in communications Unlike some situations where the incoming manager says he is taking the job with mixed emotions and feeling empathy for his predecessor, Nixon said he was elated. "I'm glad they made the change, I'm happy, I'd be a fool if I said I wasn't before being called up to Atlanta by General Manager Bobby Cox. "The club is struggling said Nison, "got a ways to go. We've got some work to do He does expect better results than he produced when he was at Cincinnati. "I have a better grade of placrs here than I had at Cincinnati Nixon said. "The biggest name I had there was (Mario) Soto and we knew (Johnny) Bench was in his last year Nixon doesn't believe Atlanta's poor record can be blamed on the everyday position players. "My primary concern is to get the pitching staff going Nixon said. "Zane Smith is a wquestion mark and there are other question marks. The younger guys are having problems and that's a primary concern Zane Smith led the Braves with a 15-10 record last season but is 2- 3 this year. He has a bone spur in his left pitching elbow which will be re-examined Tuesday. Nixon, 53, was brought in from Greenville, S.C, where he had been managing the Braves' Class AA farm club in the Southern League. Cox, who made the changes, said "It was just a situation where we had to make a move Tanner, 58, had managed for 17 consecutive seasons in the major leagues. He also managed the Chicago White Sox, Oakland and Pittsburgh. He led the Pirates to the World Series championship in 1979. "This is the first time I've ever been fired in my life (in a season) a stunned Tanner said, before leaving for Atlanta Monday morning. "We were improving. We had a lot of young players on this team Tanner came to the Braves from Pittsburgh in 1986 and was in the third year of a five-year contract. The Braves finished fifth in 1986 and last in 1987 with a 66-96 record. Tanner's record at Atlanta was 153-208 and his overall record in the major leagues was 1,352- Utt Pack receives bid RALEIGH (AP) ?
