See AIR, page 3 By LOR1 MARTIN Suit Vnlcr Members oi the University of North Carolina Board of Gover- nors are not in favor of tuition increases which are being pro- posed by state lawmakers. Board members indicated their opposition to the proposed tuition hike in a meeting in Greenville on Monday. If the tui- tion increase is approved, the funds will go toward faculty sal- ary increases and campus im- provements for the 16 academic institutions in the L'NC system. Chairman of the Board of Trustees Max R. Jovner, Sr said an 8.5 percent increase has been proposed for out-of-state stu- dents. An increase for in-state students was discussed but a proposal was not made. The proposal is unfavorable to the board because the tuition increase would not bring in enough revenue to raise the fac- ulty salaries to the proposed 12 percent for the 1989 academic year. According to Joyner, if tu I is raised 10 percent, the faculty salary increase1 could only be raised one percent. For a salary increase of 10 percent, tuition would have to be doubled. A proposal to raise tuition for graduate students is also unfavor- able. According to bo.ird member David J. Whichard II, an increase in this area would handicap North Carolina universities in their competition with the gradu- ate programs in other states. In addition to funds for salary increases, funds arc needed to make improvements on campus. The board has requested $24 mil- lion for an addition to Jovner Li- brary. I believe an addition to lovner Library has to he head and shoulders above any other capital request we have ECU Chancel lor Richard Fakin said. According to Eakin, the facil- ity is m desperate need of space to shelve books. Because seats have been removed to provide space for stacks, the library is left with only about 800 seats for the use oi students. The board anticipates fund- ing for the library addition in the near future, but construction would not begi n for at least a year, Joyner said. The L'NC system has re- quested $8.9 million for academic and administrative computing. "We, as a state, have a ways to go to catch up in the state-of-the-art computers Fakin said.

(AP) Weeks before Colombia's Nevado del Ruiz volcano erupted, melting glaciers and unleashing torrents of mud that buried 25,000 people, geologists drafted i map showing exactly where the muck would flow. The 1 "700-toot volcano started spew- mg ash Sep. 11, 1985. Scientists gave the map to vtticials Oct. 7 and urged them to tart emergency preparations. A newspaper published the map a couple of days later. But survivors of the deadly Nov. 13 eruption complained they weren't warned. i here were no evacuations or- dered as a result of the map wriich also may not have been understood by residents who saw it. s.nd U.S. Geological Survey oleanologist Robert Tilling. "That shouldn't have hap- pened. The whole emergency re- sponse network failed and, as a result, thousands died lime and again geologists have warned of impending disas- ters or urged that steps be taken to reduce the death toll in future catastrophes. Many of these ef- forts have been ignored because of politics, economic concerns, uncertainty in their predictions, communications failures and the very human tendency to avoid unpleasant realities. "Geophvsicists more than once warned builders of the high ;eismic activib in northwest Armenia' the v ammunist Party newspaper Travda said after the Dec. 7 earthquake that rocked a part of Soviet Armenia known for centuries for deadly quakes. At least 24,000 people died, en- tombed in collapsed adobe huts, stone homes and inadequately reinforced concrete-slab build- ings. "Who closed their eyes to the warnings of the seismologists, here and in other regions?" Pravda asked. The earthquake that killed 10,000 people in Mex- ico City in 1985 collapsed about 1,000 buildings although scien- tists and engineers knew damag- ing seismic waves would be amplified by the lake bed upon which the city was built, said Geological Survey engineering seismology chief Thomas Hanks. "It's not enough to assess hazards. Something has to be done with this information Geological Survey scientist C. Dan Miller told 200 officials in November when the agency held a "Gcohazards '88" symposium in Mcnlo Park on how science can save lives from quakes. Earth- quakes, landslides, tidal waves, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, volcanic eruptions and wildfires killed more than 2.8 million people worldwide in the past 20 years, and caused up to $100 bil- lion in property damage, said a 1987 National Research Council report. "The impacts of natural haz- ards arc increasing and will con- tinue to do so unless the world communitv takes concerted ac- tion the report said, urging a worldwide scientific effort in the 1990s to reduce the natural disas- ter toll. "We have enough knowl- edge already, if properly applied, to reduce both human and prop- erty losses substantially ii said. Yet many nations lack the money or the political and social institutions capable of acting, said Julia Taft, director of the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance. "The greatest human burden from natural catastrophes falls on the poor, powerless and helpless victims in the Third World Current technology could reduce the risks for 350 million people living on or near poten- tially dangerous volcanoes, ac- cording to Tilling. 'The challenge lies in marshaling the political will and resources, currently lack- ing, to study and adequately monitor the world's high-risk volcanoes In the United States, volca- noes arc monitored more closely, yet the public is reluctant to pre- pare for disasters that can't be predicted with certainty. Some business people in the Sierra ski resort of Mammoth Lakes, Calif were outraged when the USGS declared a "notice of potential volcanic hazard" for the Long Valley caldera on May 26, 1982, prompted by thousands of quakes in two years, new steam vents, uplift of the crater floor and signs of magma.

"One of the vic- tims assaulted suffered a broken ise and another suffered serious ad lacerations Eakin said. Schatzman said White's reac- tion can't be condoned, he said both sides involved in the issue should have equal penalty. "But 'xjfh sides should be given ?fai penalty or it should be nullified Schatzman said. In the Chancellor's Feb. 8 let- ter, lie states "My review of the matter indicates that Mr. White was charged and disciplined in accordance with applicable uni- versitv procedures. 1 found no material procedural irregulari- ties But Schatzman disagrees. Schatzman said Teddy White identified John Bateman as the instigator of the incident to Ronald Speier, assistant dean of student life, but wasn't part of the Chancellor's record. Me also said Speier insisted John Eagan, the SGA public de- fender in 1988, defend White. Speier and Eagan misled White, according to Schatzman. Schatzman said both Speier and Eagan "assured Mr. White that the situation would be taken care of and there would be no need to bring Mr. White's wit- nesses, who heard and saw Mr. Bateman's and his friends' pro- voking verbal assaults, to the tHwmm? Board hearing White's witness to the inci- dent, who appeared in Pitt County Court, named all but Bateman as the students making the racial slurs, according to Bateman. In Schatzman's letter to Eakin, the NAACP director said he has asked Max Joyner, Jr the chairman of ECU'S Board of Trus- tees, to conduct an investigation after the Chancellor closed the White case last week.

Dressing for the Interview: Every interviewer will agree that the way you are dressed for the interview is ex tremely important Many potential employers will inspect you from head to toe When you consider that many com- panies will interview more than one-hun dred applicants for a position, it makes good sense to insure that you're properly dressed. A dark suit, preferably a navy, navy pinstripe, grey, or grey pinstripe, should be worn for the first meeting. A white shirt should be worn for each in- terview (some large companies require that their employees wear nothing but white shirts). A conservative stripe or foulard tie is preferred. Don't make the mistake of wear- ing a linen tie in the winter or a wool one during spring or summer. A burgundy stripe with some navy blue and or grey usually looks very nice with either of the aforemen- tioned suits Dark shoes, preferably a dark leather tassel or lace-up is best Light colored loafers won't cut it (a fresh shine would be a good ideal too) Wear a belt that matches your shoes. 14 e want ??????? . when it i-iwi n ?- rtanr dt ston on a uit Out select es suits b Austin Reed Han Shaffnei S '?'??

The ozone layer has holes which are increasing in size more and more each day by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) - -a convenience used in the manufacture of everything from foam col tee cups and egg cartons to coolants in refrigerators. This might sound like a problem each individual person should not involve himherself with; after all, how can one person have an effect on a problem so massive, right? Wrong. Each and every person can at least be aware of what's hap- pening to their environment and make that first step toward bettering it. The opportunity for that first step at ECU is just waiting. Changes can be made easily, but the desire to make them has to come first. It just seems easier to wait until someone makes a rule for or against doing something before noticing a prob- lem. Chlorofluorocarbons are not only killing the environment, they're killing us as well. Research- ers say that in 30 or 40 years there will be an increase in cancer rates; respiratorv problems are already being linked to the depletion in the ozone layer. ECU has a vear and a half left on its contract with Canteen Corpora- tion which determines the products being used in our dining areas, but after that contract is completed bids will be considered from other corpo- rations. The administration has stated that in future contracts they will specify that no styrofoam prod- ucts be used. Until then there are at least two areas to consider: The Student Store and the Croatan. Neither one of these snack bars is bound by Can- teen, so it's the students who can make the difference. An experiment was conducted yesterday at the student store. Two students bought 16-ounce drinks, but brought their own cups ? plas- tic cups. The store's policy states that student's have to use the cups pro- vided; the manager said if there were enough students interested and had ideas then a change could be made. Replacing styrofoam cups with paper cups would save hundreds of thousands of ozone layer molecules ? each chlorine atom destroys at least 10,000 ozone molecules before finally fizzling out. This is but one suggestion in the midst of numerous that could be made. Boycotting businesses which use styrofoam ? and letting them know why you're boycotting ? is another, as would simply taking your own coffee mug to work in- stead of using those throw-away- ables day after day.

Columnist Study after study shows the American people to be scientifically illiterate ? not only high school students, but also college students and other voting-age adults. Without a grasp of fundamental con- cepts, it is difficult to see how Americans can be trusted to make fundamental deci- sions ? on SDI, nuclear power or supercol- liders. Scientific innovation is being crushed by lawsuit-happy citizens, and by jurors who award huge plaintive damages. For example, in the wake of thalidomide, and know ing they could be found guilty of negligence even if they clearly were not negligent, few companies are willing to produce much-needed drugs to combat morning sickness and other problems faced by pregnant women. Nowhere is lack of knowledge more potentially damaging than in the ever- changing field of computer crime. Com- puter fraud. crashing (the malicious variant of hacking), and intentional release of vi- ruses and worms go largely unpunished because laws do not exist or the seriousness of the problem is underestimated by the jury. Juries often do not realize that a so- phisticated computer criminal can cause devastating damage to systems that are used in hospitals, nuclear power plantsand even the less secure defense systems. In addition, Americans have come to believe that there is no such thing as an ac- ceptable level of risk ? that any level of hazard should not be tolerated. With the realization that we can be mostly free from physical pain has come the belief that we should be freed from psychological pain as well. Hence there is a growing reluctance to take responsibility for one's own actions, and a growing reliance on the judicial sys- tem to award damages for actions that are easily preventable. Most solutions to the problem of scien- tific illiteracy center around providing more scientific education to students. This, however, is not enough in itself because it does not address the true problem: the generally anti-intellectual and anti-scien- tific bent of the American public. Anti-sci- entific religion (typified by the proponents of so-called "scientific creationism") and the New Age (which is basically a yuppie- oriented business masquerading as a fusion of science and religion) reflect and reinforce this trenck To make America a leader in the scien- tific world will require more than beefing up scientific texts or toughening acheive- ment tests. It will require a change of atti- tude on the part of the American people. Until this happens, timidity will continue to bulldoze scientific creativity, and igno- rance will continue to make fools of us in the eyes of the world we claim we should lead. Origin poem not appreciated To the editor: This is in response to the poem in the February 14 "East Carolinian" en- titled "The Origin of the Species Simply stated, there is no difference in printing the word "F?" 17 times in our university newspaper than in spray-painting the same word an equal number of times on a building on the E.C.U. campus. If a visiting of- ficial, or simply a visitor from the Greenville community , were to see the aforementioned poem, what would their impression be of our university? It would undoubtedly be one of immaturity, irresponsibility and second-ratedness. I, along with other students, don't want to be associated with such an image. You need to become more responsible as a journalistic medium. This in no way implies that humor isn't a part of conscientious journalism, rather, it says the type of humor you endorse is simply not funny. I enjoy your timely, well-written articles of cam- pus goings-on, and those of national interest, but your approach to shal- low humor casts a shadow over the credible aspects of your paper. David L. Morketter Senior Communications Racism not real To the editor: In response to your last edition of the East Carolinian, I found it to be the worst paper you have released yet. 1 have been watching and reading it for two years now, and the news you prin t is blown way out of propor- tion. The only racial problems here at ECU are in the headlines you print. On the first page, even in the first two articles, you continue to print racial remarks. I'll give you the first article about the Chancellor; however, the SGA matter has been drug out for 2 weeks. Why make an issue out of nothing. I'm on SGA and there isn't any racial tension at all. The editor of your paper is biased and shouldn't have the job. I'm mad, ashamed, and in disbelief of your newspaper. Hope- fully students, citizens of Greenville and others don't associate these racial problems with the society of East Carolina. Hopefully this letter will reach whoever needs to hear it. Bryan Lowe junior SGA Not laughing talents of your staff are numerous, I'm sure, so do others and yourself a favor and put them to better use to- wards something you will not have to regret later Courtnev B. Bryant Senior Broadcasting Hypocrisy To the editor: When I read Vince Worthington's letter in last Thursday's The East Carolinian, I had to laugh. Sorry, it was just a natural reaction, seeing as how I must be one of the "lost dogs" Worthington seems to despise. It is people like Worthington (my apologies to him if this is a one time distraction on his part) and Swaggart who have made this a country where some true Christians feel persecuted in their beliefs. Hypocrisy is defined as "a feign- ing to be what one is not or to believe what one does not Penthouse, Mr. Worthington, has never pretended to be anything it is not. Smut is smut, and the people at Penthouse know it. Swaggart, on the other hand, made millions convincing people he was pious, good and religious: that he had their best interest at heart. Now we've found out he was using some of that money to comfort h self just a little south of the Bible belt (allegations to which he has admit- ted the truth). Hypocrisy. Worthington's letter also im- plies that it is wrong for Penthouse to write about sexual perversion, but it's all right for Swaggart to live that way ? as long as he claims to be a Christian and asks for forgiveness every once and a while (along with a little more money o he can continue ministering in Louisiana brothels). I have a number of truly devout Christian friends. Thcv continue to be embarrassed by the actions of Swaggart, Bakker and others, and they are afraid that people like you, Mr. Worthington, are turning more and more people against them. God has said to worship only him, not false prophets. Wake up, Mr. Worthington, and open your eyes. Swaggart is merely a man, and his naming himself a truly Christian leader does not make him one. Call a dog a dog and focus your energies on doing some real good for mankind and God.

Michael Harnx n Sophomo-e Broadcasting Comm THE EAST CAROLINIAN FEBRUARY 16.1989 5 Gov. Martin to submit new budget plan providing more money for teacher raise RALEIGH (AD ? Hoping to calm unhappy teachers, Gov. Jim Martin said he will make a tempo rary slowdown in the Basic Edu- cation Program the centerpiece of a revised budget plan that will include more money for pay raises. During a "summit" meeting of legislative and education lead- ers Monday, the governor said he had decided to seek a 4.5 percent pay increase starting in October and possibly earlier. He said he would resurrect a plan he floated and abandoned in December. It called for using half oi the $113 million scheduled for BET implementation in 1989-90 to speed up a pay increase for teach- ers and other state employees. "We should do evervthing we can to keep our employees from hav the diverted BEP funds to start the raise in October. The budget he proposed in January envisions a 5.7 percent raise, including merit pay incre- ments for some teachers, begin- ning in April 1990. The governor convened the summit on the eve of today's planned march on the state capital by up to 5,000 teach- ers upset over what they see as Martin's call for a nearly year- long pay freeze. Members of the summit group, which Martin said will meet monthlv to discuss educa- tion issues, include the bipartisan legislative leadership and the heads of the secondary school system, the community colleges and the University of North Caro- lina. Martin told the group Mon- mg their pay eroded by inflation day he was searching for a broad Martin said. A one-time windfall from the RJR-abisco sale will be another key component of the revised budget plan, which Martin said he will submit in April or May. If capital gains tax payments from the sale total $53 million, the monev could be combined with agreement on what the state's priorities should be. He distrib- uted a list oi questions, such as whether expanding programs or raising salaries should have a higher prioritv and what methods should be used to close the 12 percent gap between North Carolina's teacher pay and the national average. Several of the officials urged Martin to show leadership by set- ting his own priorities and acting accordingly. "Yes, I have opin- ions and a view about it, but I desperately wanted to see if there's somebody around here that agrees with me Martin said. The governor's budget an- nouncement drew a cautious re- sponse from legislative leaders. Barnes and House Speaker Joe Mavretic, who carried out his vow to boycott the summit meet- ing, said they would await details before passing judgment 1 thought the summit was clearly a public-relations ploy Mavretic said. "I think he (Martin) wanted to start a dialogue so he could tomorrow tell somewhere be- tween 3,000 and 5,000 teachers that he's started a dialogue Barnes said Senate leaders consider the BEP, an eight-year, $800 million plan to upgrade public elementary and secondary schools, as "a sacrosanct program a sacred cow But he said that while a raid on the BEP to cover shortfalls in other programs would be resisted, the BEP might vield some savincs as it is "fine- Researcher lives alone in cave to simulate astronaut experience CARLSBAD, N.M. (AD ?A month in the absence of any time- pieces has altered the waking and leep patterns oi an Italian woman who's spending five months in a cave to simulate the experiences of astronauts on long voyages Stefania Follini, who entered a 100-square-foot Plexiglas cu- bicle in Lost Cave on Jan. 13, has been sleeping 10 hours and stav- ing awake 20, said Maurizio Montalbini, leader of the U.S. -Ital- ian research team. Those cvcles likely will lengthen more, said Montalbini, who once spent seven months in a cave. Since Jan. 13, the Ancona, Italy, interior designer's onlv contact with the outside world has been computer, through a personal on which she relays results of tests of concentration and brain-wave activity. Her con- centration also seems to have sharpened during her first weeks of isolation, said Montalbini, who chose a cave in the United States for the tests because he wanted to be close to researchers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and universities. Dr. Jon DcFrance of the Uni- versity of Texas Medical School in Houston, said the Follini experi- ment will help researchers design a study in which astronauts will go on a mock space voyage to Mars. NASA is particularly inter- ested in the Italian study because previous experiments have sug- gested prolonged isolation weak- ens the body's resistance to dis- ease. DeFrance's specific interest is in attention disorders. Ms. Follini periodically attaches electrodes to her head for brain scans, and she takes tests on a computer that gauge her attention span. Attention span "may be dis- rupted in a number of different ways DeFrance said. "Each dis- ruption may have its own pattern or signature. The disruption may be unique. It may be able to pin- point what brain pathways are weakened. "We may be able to develop methods for refreshing attention, so that astronauts can conduct their activities at a high level and very competently Mandela connected to beatings of four young South African men JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP)? A lawyer for three black men said today his clients have told him Winnie Mandela was "involved in the events" when they were abducted from a church home and beaten by her unofficial bodvguards. The statement by prominent anti-apartheid lawyer Geoff Bud- lender came one day after a news- paper reported that Mrs. Man- dela, the wife of jailed African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, took part in the alleged beatings. One of the four, 14-year- old StompieSeipei, has been miss- ing since Jan. 1 and is feared dead. Mrs. Mandela, 54, has denied the accusations contained in the Sunday Star, a Johannesburg newspaper that opposes apart- heid. She has implied they were fabricated to hurt her husband. Later today, an attorney who had been acting for Mrs. Mandela, Krish Naidoo, announced that he had resigned as her representa- tive. He did not give a reason when reached by telephone by The Associated Press. Howevever, The Star quoted him today as saying, "I felt it was not within the scope of my work to deal with the Mandela crisis The three men, who are consider- ing legal action, gave Budlender statements about what happened to them but have not authorized him to release details, he told the AP. The men, aged 20 to 29, were released from Mrs. Mandela's home after intervention by com- munity leaders. Budlender said his clients "say they were ab- ducted and they were all as- saulted on the first night. "They say she (Mrs. Mandela) was involved in the events on the first night. They say Stompic was removed from them a day or two afterward and they never saw him again Mrs. Mandela hasdenied that she was at her home when the bodyguards, known as the Man- dela United soccer club, brought the four there. She has said they were taken from the Methodist Church house to protect them church said it has investigated and found false. Community leaders in Sowcto, a black township outside Johannesburg, and officials of the Methodist Church have accused the soccer club of abducting and beating the four last month. The Citizen, a Johnan- nesburg daily, quoted Zindzi Mandela as saying her mother would hold a news conference after visiting Nelson Mandela, who is held at a house on a prison farm near Cape Town. n ?sas An aide in Mrs. Mandela's office, who would not give his name, said she would hold a news conference Wednesday. Zindzi Mandela was quoted as saying her mother planned to sue The Star and The Weekly Mail, an anti-apartheid newspa- per that reported Friday that the body of Stompie Seipei had been found. Police have been unable to confirm that report.

The meting was es- sentially a round-table discussion in which the officials outlined general views on how to address teacher pay and other issues, but no votes were taken. Several participants said a tax increase for schools should be considered. "It's not an issue on this agenda but it sure is under- girding everything we're talking about said Bob Scott, a former governor and president of the community college system. Martin said he was willing to discuss a tax increase but said advocates of higher taxes should demonstrate thev are essential and that taxpayers would get their money's worth. He has said he would support a tax increase only to expand the career ladder incentive program for teachers, now being tested in 16 school systems.

A senior from Fayettev- lile, she plans to graduate in May with a degree in fashion and a concentration in business. Rau came to Greenville bc- cause of the reputable nursing program at ECU. "1 had planned on majoring in nursing, but after taking a few business classes as elective, 1 decided 1 wanted to be a fashion buyer said Rau. A fashion buyer is the person who goes to a market and picks out clothes for a particular retail store. There is a local market in Charlotte, a regional market in Atlanta, and a national market in New York. The buyer picks the market most suited for their store's needs, and purchases the clothes that will later go on the racks in the appropriate season. A fashioning merchandising major is required to perform 135 hours of an internship at a retail outlet in order to graduate. Rau started interning at Scott's last May and she finished three months later. She still works at Scott's part-time, about 10 to 20 hours a week, and her duties mainly consist of putting up dis- plays and waiting on customers. Scott's has been employing students as interns since the store opened four years ago. They usu- ally have one or two a semester, and although the students don't get paid, they do learn valuable experience. bruce Chadwick, the owner of Scott's, does not believe a per- son needs a degree in order to be successful in retail. "I know for a fact that a four-year degree in fashion is really unnecessary. You can apply what you learn in school, but you have to work with the public. There is no book in the world that is going to teach you to know your customer said Chad- wick. Chadwick works with the student interns to help them un- derstand the world of retail sales. "Working an internship may be the only thing that saves these students said Chadwick. "It's the only thing that can really pre- pare them for the real world. I would hire a person with four years of experience over a person with a four-year degree any day Rau says that is the main rea- son she works while going to school; for the experience, not the money. She is currently taking 13 hours this semester and plans to graduate soon. She doesn't have much free time. Her Monday morning starts out with gerontology, which is the scientific study of the process of aging and the problems of many aged people. "Although it's not a required course, I thought it would be interesting and helpful to try and understand the older generation, for retail purposes and other reasons said Rau. At noon, she has chemistry 1050, a required course for fash- ion merchandising majors. At 1, she takes an advanced course in fashion merchandising. "This is a new class and it's very interesting. It's basically a more in-depth studv of retail and fashion said Rau. On Tuesday Rau's only class is Textiles and Home Furnishings at 2. The purpose of this course is to gain a basic understanding of interior design and the fabrics used for furniture construction. Most people start out as sales- persons in retail and then move up to manager, owner, and fash- ion buver. The starting salary for a buyer is a round $18,000 to $19,000 a year. Rau hopes to move up to buyer soon after she graduates since she has experience in sales. "I'd like to work for a major department store for a while, and then move to a bigger city like Atlanta or Charlotte Perlman leads all star line-up on ECU's Performing Arts Series The Cannes Chamber Or- before Mav 1, 1989, a ticket to the ECU News Bureau These are the members of the Beaux Arts Trio.

When 1 bought my ferns they were healthy and beau- tiful. Within two months, they were reduced to brown stems and half rotten leaves. I couldn't fig- ure it out. Did I water them too much, or not enough? Were they getting enough sunlight, or was my porch too sunny? Nothing seemed to add up, and my ferns just continued to deteriorate. Maybe you've been through a similiar experience, or are going through one right now. Tcletip came to mv rescue, and this toll- free agricultural extension service can help you too. Teletip provides information about subjects rang- ing from "making sausage" to "building financial security Plant nurseries are another source of information for would- be fern growers. About ten spe- cies of ferns are sold by local nurs- eries in Greenville, N.C. Among them are the three most popular ferns; the Boston, Dallas, and Holly. Ms. Terric Green, an expert nursery keeper at the Sunshine Garden Center in Greenville sug- gests that the worst soil you can use is from your garden. Plant ferns in a light, organic permeable soil, like leaf or peat moss. This type of soil will allow excess wa- ter to run-off properly so that the delicate roots won't drown. Ms. Green also adds that mixing peat moss with a soil called Baccto Lite will deep the soil light and airy, and prevent peat moss from drying out. Don't wait until the leaves on your fern turn hard and brown before you do something about moisture. The fern will die if its tiny root are allowed to dry out, so protect the roots with an even moisture content. An experienced gardener can test for dryness with her finger, but if you're not one, buy a monitor which indicates when a plant needs to be watered. Use drainable containers. And unless you use artificial ferns, forget those fancy pots. Contain- ers should be at least five inches wide and eight inches deep so that the roots will have room to grow. It's true that ferns need hu- midity, but the bathroom isn't the only place to find it. If you're tired of your bathroom's looking like a jungle, Ms. Green suggests plac- ing the ferns in a saucer filled with water (approximately two inches wider and two inches deeper than the pot). When the water evapo- rates, the plant will receive the ideal 50 percent humidity that it requires. A day will come when you become an expert, and some of your friends will want a sample of your ferns. Ms. Green suggests the following steps for dividing a fern: Step 1: Break the fern away from the pot gently to keep the roots intact. Step 2: Cut the fern into sec- tions Step 3: Break the old soil away from the roots. Step 4: Spread the roots apart before replanting to give them room to grow. Ms. Green also advises fern owners to mist each fern after replanting, but not to water exces- sively. A 5 x 8 potted fern needs 16 fl. oz. of water once a week. She also suggests fertilizing the plants every month from April through September. Fertilize ferns every two weeks the rest of the year. But remember, the manufacturers recommended amount needs to be cut in half. Too much fertilizer will benefit manufacturers of fer- tilizer, but will kill your plants. Once you've pampered your delicate fern into the most beauti- ful bouquet of greenery, you need to decide on a defense strategy. Children, pets, and even adults can snip away the tiny, delicate leaves of your fern, if you're not careful. Children love to use them as targets when throwing balls, cats will often have them as a snack, and adults are cruel enough to use them as ashtrays. Stop this senseless slaughter of your ferns, by putting them in a safe place. Beverly Bartik, a fern raiser, suggests hanging or plac- ing ferns in a high area, preferable near a window. Protect your ferns from those cruel pant killers, and start show- ing them off, instead of shoving them off. Ferns aren't the easiest plants to grow, but they're not hopeless either. With a little love and nurture, they can stay beauti- ful all year round. Interesting Facts about Ferns 1. The fern has existed for 350 million years, it's the oldest plant on land. 2. There are: -over 12,000 spe- cies of ferns in the world. -over 300 species of ferns in North America. -ten species of ferns sold in Greenville, NC. 3. In the USA, the most com- mon fern in the North: Parsley, Fern, South: Copper Fern, West: Lip Fern, East: Toothed Spleen- wort Fern. 4. Some ferns were used as a medicine for chest pains, rheumatism, and ulcers. 5. The fronds (stem and leaves) are eaten in Asia and Pa- cific Region (cooked or raw). 6. d fronds are used as a substitute for tea in Europe and California. These are members of the Swingle Singers.

When most people clean out their closets, they find useless clutter. But when Robert T. Bakker rummages through the closets of the nation's museums, he finds remnants of previously unknown species of dinosaurs. "What we're in now is a new dinosaur gold rush says Bakker, a University of Colorado paleon- tologist. But the rush isn't to dig into the earth, it's to search the base- ments of museums, where frag- ments of dinosaur bones and skulls have been stored since they were discovered. "Twenty or 30 new dinosaurs are found every year around the world says Bakkcr. "Most good specimens are in research storage like an ancient manuscript waiting to be read In the past few years, Bakker, 43, has "read" the remains of what he believes are four new species of dinosaurs, including two that have been researched and for- mally announced. "The four I've found were dug up, glued together, waiting to be studied Bakker says. Sifting through bones and prehistoric fragments on the shelves of the Denver Museum of Natural History, Bakker came across a skull and bits of armor- like plating. They since have been declared a new species of the plant-eating odosaur family, of the genus D nversaurus. It looked like a "two-ton armadillo-Godzilla hybrid with long spikes coming out of the shoulder Bakker says. The other find, announced in April, was a pygmy Tyranno- saurus rex, which stood about 8 feet and weighed about 500 pounds. Its skull was in storage at the Cleveland Museum of Natu- ral History. Still being researched arc two other finds which are on exhibit in museums. One, he believes, is an earlv version of an allosaurus and the other is a relative of the stego- saurus. Bakker says he got hooked on dinosaurs when he was in fourth grade. With a bachelor's degree from Yale and a doctorate from Harvard, he has taught from kin- dergarten to graduate school and has made annual trips to Colo- rado and Wyoming to take part in dinosaur digs. He and his wife, Constance Clark, moved to Boulder four years ago. He became adjunct curator of the Universitv of Colo- rado museum. The trail to find dinosaurs has taken Bakker to field sites and museumsacrossthe United States and Canada. He says he knew about the Denvcrsaurus skull but "had not looked at it carefully enough "1 was interested in the very last dinosaurs the twilight of the dinosaur gods he says. "I took a second look at it The skull was found in 1924 in the Badlands of South Dakota and misidcntified, he says. The Denversaurus, an- nounced in October, was more advanced than other nodosaurs, he says. The eye sockets were at its sides, allowing the animal a 360- degree scan. It was about 20 feet long, 5 feet tall at the hip and 7 feet across. "You'd need a forklift to turn one of these over he says. Bakker discovered a skull of the pygmy Tyrannosaurus rex in storage at theCleveland museum. The specimen was excavated in 1942 near Bozcman, Mont. The Tyrannosaurus rex weighed 10,000 pounds and stood 20 feet tall, but the pygmy was full-grown at 8 feet. "There is no doubt the pygmy was full grown he says. "The bones were together (in the skull) Similar to its giant cousin, the pygmy was a meat-eater, with forward eyes, much like those of a hawk. It had little hands and, Bakker speculates, was nimble footed. "It's a mystery animal be cause there is only one of them he says. "It's very birdlike it has feet just like a turkey or a chicken Both the Denvcrsaurus and the Tyrannosaurus rex ? which were natural enemies ? lived about 67 million yearsago, during the last years of the dinosaurs. In fact, a tooth of a pygmy Tyrannosaurus rex was found near the skull of the Denversau- rus, Bakker says. "It might have been chewing on the Denversau- rus INC.

Gun maker hunts past PERRYVILLE, Ky. (AP) ? Harold Edwards likens his search for history to a hunt for hidden treasure. In researching early Ken- tucky gun makers such as Ben- jamin Mills, Edwards delights in the new and exciting information he uncovers. "It's been a learning process he says. Edwards discovered in re- searching his own family that one of his ancestors was a gun maker. Because of his interest in muzzle- loading rifles, "that really excited me he says. Though Mills? a 19th-cen- tury craftsman who spent much of his life in Harrondsburg?was no relation, Edwards wanted to learn as much about him as pos- sible. He put much of the material he collected during his seven years of research into an article that was published late last year in "Muzzle Blasts the offical publication of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Associa- tion. "Early Kentucky gun build- ersdid not produce an abundance of the ornate, carved rifles of East- ern influence that are so popular today Edwards wrote. "Most were simple utilitarian pieces with very little ornamentation and reflected the simplicity of a people concerned with survival No matter how simple the weapon, frontiersmen like Mills relied on the few materials they had with them when they go ready to make a gun. "They started with absolutely nothing Edwards says. "They not only made the guns, they made the tools. They were very thrifty with the materials they had For example, a worn file was never thrown away. She apologized for being so late. We went straight down- town, since the movie was over.

MARTIN Staff Wriler When there is a need for con- sistency on teh 1988-89 men's bas- ketball team, Coach Mike Steele often turns to number 24, Kenny Murphy. The 6-3,170 pound Sen- ior forward has given his leader- ship to assist the Pirates in several key wins, and successful season thus far. Averaging 8.5 points, 4.3 re- bound, and 2.3 assists per game, the former walk-on has become a valuable member to the team. His 10 rebounds against William & Mary in our first meeting this year helped the Pirates to a 75-59 vic- tory. His consistency has even earned him a nickname: "K- Nyce 'The name Murphy said, I got it when 1 was playing in- tramural basketball my freshman year Evidently, the name was as correct then, when he led the Get Fresh Crew to two straight cham- pionships in a row, just as it ap- plies now.

The Pirates were under a big transition; our head coach Mike Steele had just come to ECU and several posi- tions were vacant, left from graduating seniors. When Murphy tried out and made the team, the Pirates have since felt his presence tremendously. However, when his basket- ball past was further explored, the story became more unbelievable.

With his desire to excel in the classroom, he has plans to join the Drug Enforecement Agency after graduation.

"Coach Steele has taught me (and the rest of the team) how to excel both on the court and off Excelling must be Murphy's speciality, because his leadership has has had a big impact on the other team members. He believes in playing as a team, and watch- ing just one of the Pirate's games will prove this again and again. Averaging 33 minutes per game, Murphy's statistics are Kenny Murphy his high school learn because of a bet with one of his friends. "I had a bet with this friend that 1 could last longer than him in trv-outs.

Consistency is a major part of Kenny Murphy's basketball game. His leadership has showed the younger j lyers how not only to succeed on the court, but in life also. This articulate, highly spir- ited student-athlete is surely to accomplish all the goals he sets fourth. His role on the team is valued greatly, and he definitely has worked hard to achieve what he has thus far. His immediate goals consist it. Murphy has done exactly what his mother told him. Growing up as the oldest of three, he had to set examples for the younger children and learn to do things on his own, such as play basketball.
