The Student Government
Association's upcoming in vestiga-
tion of the ECU Students for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals has
raised a lot of unanswered ques-
tions, most importantly how the
campus group became linked to
the theft of a tape from the ECU
Sch(xil of Medicine.
The original two hour instruc-
tional tape stolen in January, 1987
from the ECU Medical School
showed a tracheotomy being per-
formed on an anesthetized dog.
The tape, which was intended
for use by medical students only,
disappeared and turned up in the
hands of the national animal rights
organization, People for the Ethi-
cal Treatment of Animals (PETA).
TETA is not affiliated with the
ECU group SETA, although much
of the information and pamphlets
that the campus group uses comes
from national animal rights organi-
zations, like PETA.
Last semester some members
of the SGA, speculating that the
ECU SETA group might have ac-
tually stolen the tape and showed
it at one of their meetings, passed
a motion to investigate SETA.
Angela Rose, treasurer of
SETA, said thatthechargesagainst
the group are ridiculous. "As an
officer of the group, I have never
heard about or seen the tape, nor
have 1 ever heard about plans to
sec or possess it Rose empha-
sized.
It was also mentioned that
SETA was formed last semester
and that the videotape was stolen
over three years ago.
Dr. Richard H. Ray, head ot
the physiology department at the
ECU School of Medicine, says that
some people might have misinter-
preted his Oct. 31 letter to the edi-
tor in The East Carolinian.
"I made no allegation that
SETA or any other organization
was involved Ray said. "The tape
which was taken by persons un-
known to anyone, eventually
ended up in the hands of PETA
When asked if the ECU SETA
group actually received a copy of
the edited tape, a spokesperson
from the national office of TETA in
Washington, DC. said that TETA
did not keep a record of whom the
tapes were sent to, but she did say
that any group or person could
receive the edited tape for a small

GRE offers large-print versions of
Subject Tests for 1990 testing year
As part of an ongoing effort to provide equal access to testing for
disabled examinees, the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) program
is making large print versions of the Subject Tests available at all
regular administrations in the 1909-90 testing year.
Although the General Test has been available in this format for
sonuMime Jarge-tvpeSubject Tests wereavailable by special request for
the first time in 1988-89. The level of demand clearly indicated a need
to provide this service on a regular basis for examinees with visual
disabilities.
The large-print exams are"the same tests as those offered at a
standard administration. The only difference is that the type is larger
says Susan Vitella, GRE program director for the new service. Candi-
date registering for the large-type exams may request additional testing
time, a well as other arrangements or aids customarily usedfsuch as a
persdn to record answers). There is no extra charge, and a large-print
answer sheet is also provided. Scores are mailed at the same time as
those of other examinees who tested at the same administration.
To register for a test administered in large-print format, a candidate
must include a letter with the registration form describing the nahire of
his or her handicap and any special arrangements required, and a letter
from a physician or counselor documenting the disability. Registration
deadlines for tests requiring special arrangements are several weeks
earlier than deadlines for regular administrations. Dates are listed in
the GRE Information Bulletin.
Education majors receive awards
Five students in the ECU School of Education have been selected to
receive Prospective Vocational Teacher Scholarships for the 1989-90
academic year. The awards, consisting of $2,000 each, are presented by
the N.C. I Vaprtment of Public I instruction to approximately 45 students
across the state each year.
The awards are renewable for each of a student's four years of
undergraduate study. Recipients are selected on the basis of academic
achievement interest in careers as vocational teachers and participa-
tion in campus and community activities.

votes down keg ban for ID checks
Fraternities at the L niversiry of Missouri-Columbia, opposing a

allow them to check the age of guests before serving them alcohol.
The Interfratemity Council had considered a measure that would
have allowed ' Bring Your Own liquor" parties only. The new plan

Nurses use videos for simulations
With the help of interactive video equipment, student nurses can
now learn to respond to life-threatening situations without leaving the
classroom.
The video svstem, provided by the Fuld Institute for Technology in
Nursing Education (FITNE), creates real-life simulations and allows
nursing students to actively test their knowledge by solving the simu-
lated patient's problem.
The Helene Fuld Health Trust, through FITNE, recently selected 46
schools of nursing in the United States and Canada to become the first
schools to receive the FITNE Interactive Video Systems.
All participating schools will use the video equipment for three
years and will collect and evaluate data.
Alcohol awareness program sponsored
To combat alcohol-related crime on campus, the Public Safety
department at Bryant College in Smithfield, R.I has implemented an
alcohol awareness program.
According to Chief Richard Wheeler, Public Safety director, 80
percent of college crimes are committed bv intoxicated students. The
program is aimed at freshmen, but Wheeler wants all students in-
volved.
"1 have spent the last 20 years building cases against crimes
Wheeler said "I'd like to spend the next 20 years preventing them, and

Kellerman by nibbing the eyes or probing the nose. A cold
victim can unwillingly spread the virus by sneez-

then if thev rub their eyes or nose they can become exposed to the virus.
There is no sure way to prevent all colds. Medical authorities do
suggest three measures to control the spread of colds by contact. Wash
your hands frequently. This will eliminate much of the virus that has
been picked up by the hand and fingers. Keep your fingers out of your fee.
ECU's major priority for state-
appropriated funding during the
1990 short session of the General
Assembly is an estimated $17.4
million for an addition to loyner
Library. This is out of a total capi
tal facility plan of approximately
$117 million for the next three
years, ECU officials said.
"The library project isand will
remain our foremost priority
said Dr. Richard Eakin, ECU
Chancellor, in submitting a list of
capital improvement budget re-
quests to the Board of Trustees.
The board approved the list Fri-
day.
Cost of the proposed library
renovation and addition is an esti-
mated $24.4 million of which the
1989 General Assembly appropri-
ated $1 million for planning and
$6 million in construction funds
last spring.
Architects have already been
selected and design work has
begun on a new addition to the
university's main campus library.
In addition to the library proj-
ect, ECU is requesting $10.9 mil-
lion in state funding for major
repairs and renovation of existing
buildings, 11 of which need new
roofs.
Eakin said the university's
capital improvements budget
requests for 1991-93 reflect cur-
rent campus planning and priori-
ties. "We have taken an extremely
critical look at our facility needs
relative to the campus strategic
planning process he said. "We
have placed primary emphasis on
essential infrastructure repairsand
improvementsand the renovation
of our academic facilities The
campus requested $769,400 for
elevators to improve handicapped
access.
Included in the repairs and
renovation requestsare$l ,405,000
for re-roofing buildings, $1.4 mil-
lion for a first phase of renovation
of Flanagan Building and $1 r
million for renovating the interior
of twelve academic buildings.
Other renovationrepairs
requests include $1.6 million for
Graham Building, $1.6 million for
North Tower Biology renovation
and $770,000 for university the-
atre renovation.
Improvements to the campus
steam plant were requested for
$1.4 million, and items totaling
$610,000 were asked for upgrad-
ing the campus electric service to
handle increased loads and pump
station.
Two self-supporting (non-
state appropriations) projects are
being requested during the short
session ? $18.9 million for a stu-
dent recreation center and $4.1
million for a new student cafete-
ria will be requested during the
biennium but not during the short
session.
Another proposed major self
supporting project included is
Phase I of an outpatient clinic at
the School of Medicine with an
estimated cost of $19,480,000.
Several other items were in-
cluded in a university-wide facili-
liesplan, along with $250,000 fora

Waltei s hasa history oi working with the media
i iriety of ways He has held the position of
Photolab general manager, in add ition to his photog-
raphy coverage lor The East Carolinian, and his pres-
ent position as yearbook editor.
From a journalistic perspective, this case is of
particular concern to The East Carolinian. Mr. Walters
was representing a medium which is classified as a
community newspaperby the North Carolina Tress
Association Why didn't he receive the same respect
as the television crews on the scene? Like all
newspapers, The I asl Carolinian attempts to report
news both time!) and accurately. But in this case, a
representative of our medium was arrested for ful-
filling his duties as a media representative.
What's even more disappointing is that one of
ECU'S administrators. IV Alfred Matthews, does
not support Mr Walters m his case. Rather, Mat-
thews testified against him yesterday bv claiming
that members of the ECU media are not employed by
the university rhe payroll stubs tell a different story.
The irony oi this is that ECU'S Division of Stu-
dent Life, ot which Matthews is dean, is paying for
Mr. Walters defense attorney. So in essence, the State
of North Carolina is paving to prosecute Walters and
is also paving to defend him.
( cmld it be possible that the outcome of this trial
was predetermined bv both the ECU administration
and the city? In yesterday's trial, several police offi-
cers testified against Walters, giving conflicting ac-
counts of the actual event The fact that the officers
testimonies were inconsistent, leads one to believe
that the answer to this question is yes.
The East Carolinian, as well as the "Buccaneer is
now left in limbo. Are we to be deprived of our First
Amendment rights lust because we're students?

think were worse, when thev inter-
ruptod the melodrama of our soap
operas for the melodrama of "The
I hint For Noriega??" You would
think we live in a bad post-apoea-
lyptic B-movie. "The Hunt For
Noriega?" Is there any other sorts
of images we ar suppose to have in
our heads?
The sad tnith of the whole
matter is that top Reagan Admini-
stration officials, includingCeorge
Bush, debated whether or not to
remove Noriega diplomatically but
chose not to because it was an elec-
tion year. They feared the Admini-
stration former ties and especially
Bush's former ties with the Pana-
manian general would prove
embarrassing. Apparently, Nori-
ega is a man easily bought. The
American C.I A. had him on their
pay role at the same time he sup-
posedly had been working as
some sort of drug warehouser.
The all too logical deduction is
that the lives of Americans and
Panamanians were the price tag
Bush and top Reagan officials put
on the 1988 election. And it
worked beautifully! Bush has
never enjoyed this much popu-
larity.
So, when you see the names
and numbers of the American
soldiers who died for the "Just
Cause thinkaboutexactly where
Bush's heart really is. Also expect
our cotton candy media to con-
tinue to spoon feed the sweets to
us, the manipulated and unin-
formed electorate.
Steve Sommers
Senior
Political Science ? Philoso-
phy
In 1988 a grinning George
Bush sang out the "good news"
that the U.S. economy would flour-
ish despite our $2.8 million na-
tional debt and despite his prom-
ise not to raise taxes. We Ameri-
cans may not ha ve applauded this
nonsenseless than half of ali eli-
gible voters turned out to vote
but we certainly tolerated it. In a
single collective gesture, we for-
gave and forgot all the sleaze,
waste and debt incurred by the
era of Reaganomics. We heard
about Bush's "flexible freeze" and
decided we could let things slide a
bit more.
According to noted MIT
economist Lester Thurow, U.S.
productivity over the last two
years has been growing at less
than 1 percent a year. During this
time, all other industrialized coun-
tries averaged a 4 percent rate,
with West Germany, japan and
Korea scoring highest. Reagan and
Bush forecasted a significant rise
in the GNP for the 1990s,but these
projections failed to take into ac-
count expected rises in inflation
and interest rates both of which
are determined in large part bv
German and Japanese investors
The Reagan-Bush team's love
affair with big business is part oi
the problem. In 19b0, U.S. corpo-
rations accepted 23 percent ot the
federal tax burden. By 1980 their
share had dropped to 12.5 per-
cent. Reaganomics reduced it to
6.9 percent in 19Hb rhissaved the
corporate sector ,nd cost indi-
vidual taxpayers $120billion in
that vear alone. Despite hefty tax
benefits, corporate debt continues
togrow due to interest rates which
have tripled since the 1960s And
which will probably i reate a tidal
wave of business bankruptcies
during the next recession, accord
ing to Senator William Proxmire
in a letter to the New ork Times
(111088, "American Industry
Doesn't Need More Debt")
One of the more foreboding
signs oi economic decline is our
trade deficit: over $130 billion
owed to foreign investors, primar-
ily the Japanese. This debt makes
our economy extremely vulner-
able to runaway inflation and
recession at the drop of a chop-
stick. It puts us at the mercy of
both Japan and West Germany,
where most of our automobiles.
TVs, and stereos come from. The
Japanese are already eating up the
Big Apple like nobcxlv's business
Though these countries' cor-
porations tend to average more
debt capital, their more produc-
tive industries are newer than in
the U.S thanks to the spectacular
reconstruction after World War I!
during the ls?50s and 1960s
(Similarly, Korea's growth owes
much to the Korean War.) Also.
they have their priorities straight
lower interest rates, better anti-
inflation policies, and a stronger
educational and work ethic have
made key contributions to the
economic success of these coun-
tries.
Let Them Fat Jellybeans
During the Reagan era the gap
between rich and poor families
widened immensely Between
1978 and 1987, the poorest fifth of
American families became 8 per-
cent poorer, and the richest fifth
became 13 percent richer (they
now claim 40 percent of all wealth
in the U.S.). According to the US
Census Bureau, some eight mil-
lion people were added to the
poverty segment of our society
during this time. Today, about 14
percent oi all Americans are clas-
sified as living under the poverty
line ($5,800 or less per person!
America has become the land of
the free, home of the street people.
The wealth of an elite few is
almost incomprehensible. The top
1 percent of Americansownsmore
wealth than the bottom l() per
cent. Changes in family stnn hire,
new federal policies, and more
women in the work force are the
usual reasons cited for Amenta's
growing poverty problem While
such changes have certainly
played a role, their impact is proba
bly secondary to certain changes
in the corporate world which
began during the '60s and '70s.
During this time, according to
theeditorsof Il!ars& Sense (May
1W6)and The New Republic (May
1, 189), corporate profits were
squeezed by growing real wages
and a growing social wage ot
government-provided benefits In
the latter '70s the problem was
compounded bv explosive inter
national competition, which elic-
ited corporate strategies designed
to eliminate many blue-collar and
even white-collar jobs in the
middle-pay range This created
millions of low wage jobs but ac-
tually added to the high paying
professional, managerial, and
technical jobsnecessarv to control
t he prcKess.
The debt poses An additional,
if hidden, burden. To er.ise our
nearly $3 trillion national debt
would cost over $20 ,000 for each
American family oftour I his debt
costs us $150 bilhon in interest
annually, or 14 percent of the
budget, which explains v? hy it is
increasingly harder for American;
to invest in things that reate new
higher-paying jobs It al-
i cnints tor the 1 ed" 5 ii ibilib ??

college education, legal sen
to the poor, environmental ; i
lection, and just about i vi ry thing
a responsible governmenI usually
does.
Interest payments on the fed
oral budget deficit alone will
undercut all efforts toward r.us
ing the U.S. standard ii living. In
lc'Sl? these interest payments
exceeded the total combined
budgets of the following: the
Departments of Agriculture.
Commerce, Education, Energy
Interior, Labor, And just the
Veterans Administration; the
Environmental Protet tion
Agency; the National Science
Foundation and even NASA Vs
federal funding is squeezed, our
standard oi living is compromised
accordingly.
Education is a kes atka at
fected by the debt crisis The de
dine oi education promotes eco-
nomic decline bv reducing our
aptitude toward sophisticated
technologies and analytical
work- and bv forsaking compe
tency in the workforce Between
1978 and 1987, the average hourly
earnings ot non-supervisorv
workers (adjusted for inflation)
were lower than in any vear since
1966. And even as the real earn-
ings of unskilled workers were
declining, the real incomes of
investment bankers and other
securities industry workers rose
21 percent.

A Ticking Timebomb
Many Americans are (stall)
anxiously waiting to see what the
Bush Administration will do about
the budget. Unless the deficit is
reduced, the Federal Reserve will
continue boosting interest rates to
support the dollar and a "major
recession many experts say,
would be inevitable. Clearly re-
forms are necessary, certain pro-
grams will need major slashing
But budgetary reforms are diffi-
cult to achieve because they in-
volve powerful interest groups
such as the military, the elderly,
farmers, and numerous financial
institutions.
For the American people, the
military would seem to be the most
logical candidate for spending
cuts. Outlays for last year's na-
tional defense totalled $293 bil-
lion, or 28 percent of the budget
In that vearalone,$75billion went
to purchasing new weapons
amounting to about $300 worth
for every American. Over 60 per
cent of all our taxes are being si
phoned off for past and present
military debts. With enough nu
clear warheads to destroy the
globe 40 times over, one would
think we could sacrifice a lot less
military might.
In his Ixxik, "Day of Reckon-
ing Harvard economics profes-
sor Benjamin Friedman describes
thedeticitasa"rickingrimebomb
which has "made the U.S. econ-
omy vulnerable to inflation and
recession at the call of forces which
we no longer control No one can
predict with certainty what will
happen to our economy over the
next tour years, but the prospects
seem grim indeed. The deficit

I ? i Irock up in whk h our pn isp r-
ity depends a possibility for
which we must all be prepared
But America's free market
svstem is by no means irretrieva-
bly lost Remedial solutions,
ever radical, will push thenv
- Ives ever more forcibly upon us
a j time goes on For instance, we
have recently seen a more pro-
gressive interne tax program es
tablished fi r poor werking Ameri-
cans. But other changes could be
made, such as reversing the outra-
geous Sodal Security amendments
? I 983, through which poor work
ing Americans are now financing
the federal budget deficit, often
paying more- in payroll taxes than
in income taxes
Another tact, as mentioned
before, would be to divert funds
from the military to our education
system teaching American k:ds
ways to attain their dreams re-
gardtessof family income or race.
Along these lines, it will be in-
creasingly important to teach
people how to become computer-
literate in order to increase effi-
(icncv in production jobs and in
personal service-type jobs.
Although George Bush speaks
eloquently of "a thousand points
of light and of the importance of
generosity, his performance thus
tar has been pitiful. A tinv sum
has been budgeted for education,
training, and health care for the
poor. Bu-h says we can't afford
any more. Meanwhile he pushes
tor stealth bombers at $531 mil-
lion apiece and a reduction in
capital gams tax rate ? another
boon to the wealthy minority, it
seems impossible for George
berl Walker Bush, a million
from birth, to fathom the
struggle for the good life endured
by most Americans.
I his may actually be the crux
of the problem. As Amenca'smore
fortunate fifth takes in more of the
nation's income, thev seem less
willing to lessen the burden of the
poor As our economic fates di-
verge, the top fifth seems to lose
its sense oi connectedness to the
more needy, bottom half?a sense
that might elicit generosity As a
nation we may be united in prin-
ciple, but we have become divided
in conscience. How wide, I won-
der, can the gap between the needy
and greedy become before all hell
breaks loose?

made any such request after the
hearing because of the order to
keep them confidential.
U S. marshals and Noriega's
attorneys refuse to disclose his
whereabouts, although meetings
with defense counsel have been
held in the courthouse. The New
York Times, quoting an unidenti-
fied source, reported Tuesday that
Noriega probably would be

the federal penitentiary in Atlanta.
But Angie Sheffer, spokeswoman
for the Atlanta prison. Mid no

Noriega's arrival.
Federal officials believe the
Metropolitan Correctional Center,
a federal prison near Miami, does
not offer adequate security to hold
Noriega, the Times said.
Noriega's quarters below the
courthouse reportedly are lavish
compared to the spartan room at
the Vatican's papal nunciate in
Panama City, where Noriega took
refuge for 10 days following the
U.S. invasion.
Sources who spoke on the
condition of anonymity told The
Associated Press that Noriega was
being held in an area principally
used for the federal witness pro-
tection program It includes a
bedroom, living room with a tele-
vision and radio, and kitchen, al-

brought from the outside.
The black population
The number of blacks living in the U.S. in March 1988 totaled 29.3
million, an increase of 13.6 percent since 1980 For the first time
this century, the number of Wacks in the South increased by 4
percent from 1980, and those living in the Northeast decreased by 2
percent from 1980.

UNC-Chapel Hill faces
tough spending control s
CHAPEL HILL N.C (AIM
Tough new spending controls and
a temporary hiring freeze at the
University of North Carolina will
have a "serious impact" on the
school's operation, said Pr Bon
Tuchi, vice chancellor for business
and finance.
But Tuchi said it would be
difficult to predict exactly what
problems the university would
face
The school imposed thefinan
cial measures Tuesday aftcf en
tenng the third quarter on fan. I
with a 17.5 percent state funding
gap, The News and Observer
reported The university asked
administrators and educators not
to commit any additional state
funds for travel, equipment pur
chases and utilities.
While salaries and merit pay
to university workers will not be
affected by the spending restric-
tions, the university ordered a
curtail on overtime pav. and lim
its on payments to temporary
employment agencies and consult-
ants
'What we are essentially tell-
ing our deans and directors is that
your first priority has to do with
(the university's) instructional
mission, and the second is health
and safety Tuchi said. "Every-
thing else should be eliminated
Tuchi said the university had
requested slightly moie than $1b
million in non personnel state
funds tor the third quarter, but
has received $1 i.2 million. School
officials warned that fourth quar-
ter allocations also might be cut,
and saul they hoped to minimize
anv future cuts by reducing per-
sonnel expenditures.
last week, state officials said
state revenues had fallen $102 mil-
lion below projections for the first
five months ot the current fiscal
year. That prompted the state
budget office to reduce budget
allocations to agencies by an aver-
age of 23 percent, or $26 million
for the quarter
tion to the news and allow itself
flexibility in case of attempted anti-
government protests.
"We've ust been discussing it
as well a source at a Chinese
newspaper said of the delay.
Nobodyknows" what happened,
she saul.
"It won't have anv effect on
most people s lives said a young
woman. "()t course, they may feel
more light-hearted, to know that
martial law is gone. But that's all
In a bid to quell last spring's
pio democracy protest, authori-
ties declared martial law on May
20. But students refused to quit
their occupation of central Tian-
anmen Square and on June 3-4 the
army shot its way to the square
and dispersed them, killing hun-
dreds of unarmed civilians.
Most people say the end of
martial law would make no dif-
ference to them. Most actions
outlawed under martial law ?
such as demonstrations, strikes,
distributing pamphlets and other
"destructive activity" are ille-
gal or tightly constrained under
other laws.China hasa large force
of uniformed and plainclothes
police, and recently issued them
more guns.
"The important reaction will
come from overseas said a West-
ern diplomat in Beijing. He said
there was a clear link to the De-
cember visit of U.S. National Se-
curity Adviser Brent Scowcroft,
who sought an easing oltuna's
hard-line stance toward dissent in
exchange for normalizing U.S
Chinese relations.
President Bush has been
sharply criticized by Congress for
sending Scowcroft and softening
sanctions. Lifting martial law
would allow him to say his con-
ciliatory gesture paid off.
China also hopes for a resto-
ration of loans frozen in June by
the World Bank and mdustnal-
ized nations, and a return of for-
eign tourists who have largely kept
away since June.

More blacks move
South, census says
WASHINGTON (AP) "he percentage of American blacks living
in the South is growing for the first time in more than a century,
according to a Census Bureau Study.
After decades of moving orth and West in search ot obs, blacks
are heading back South, to a region that has seen a significant growth
in jobs in recent years, population experts said. The proportion of
American blacks living in Southern states was 55.9 percent as of March
N88, the Census Bureau said in the report released I uesday. That was
up from 52.2 percent in 1980 and the first increase in at least 100 years.
CensusstatisticianClaudette Bennett said that although heragency
did not investigate the reasons for the change in population flow, two
basic factors are likely involved. One is the general movement of all
types of Americans, including blacks, into the Sun Belt states, she said.
In addition, she said. Southern blacks are no longer leaving those states.
William P. O'Hare of the independent Population Reference Bu-
reau noted that the South has had a disproportionate share of the
nation's recent job growth. O'Hare, director oi policy studies at the
private research organization, said that as blacks were drawn out of the
South by heavy industry jobs in the North, most maintained family and
kinship ties in the South. Such ties, O'Hare said, make it easier to return.
However, the current trend is not exactly reversing the original
exodus, O'Hare said in a telephone interview. Historically, blacks
moved from the rural South to the urban North. The flow now is to
urban areas in the South, not back to people's rural roots, he said
The share of blacks in the South grew by 3.7 percentage points
between 1980 and 1988, while the region with the largest loss was the
Northeast, slipping from 18.6 percent to 16.5 percent of blacks. The
Midwest dropped from 20.5 percent to 19.1 percent of blacks over the
period, while the West was nearly unchanged, lipping from8.6 percent
to 8.5 percent.
The 1880 national Census found 90.4 percent of blacks living in the

Rally planned for Gorbachev's visit
VILNIUS, U.S.S.R. (AP) - A
grass-roots group favoring Lithu-
anian independence Wednesday
rejected a reported plea from a
Kremlin envoy to cancel a rally on
theeve of Soviet President Mikhail
S. Gorbachev's visit.
Communist Party ideology
chief Vadim A Medvedev, who
was in Lithuania to do advance
work for Gorbachev's visit Thurs-
day, personally asked a leader of
the independent Lithuanian
movement Sajudis to call off the
protest, Sajudis member Riman-
tas Kanapicnis said.
But the rallv. set for Wednes-
J
day on the central Cathedral
Square in Vilnius, was not can-
celed, and the stage appeared set
for a scries of stormy encounters
between Gorbachev and the res-
tive residents of the Baltic repub-
lic. A candlelight protest was
planned throughout the republic
to coincide with Gorbachev's arri-
val Thursday.
According to an of ficial sched-
ule obtained by Sajudis, Gor-
bachev will arrive Thursday and
visit an electronics factory in the
Lithuanian capital. He was sched-
uled to meet on Friday with the
public in the city of Panevyzus
and on Saturday with Communist
Party activists.
Medvedev's visit to the Baltic
republic was intended to help
defuse one of the most serious
political crises facing Gorbachev.
On Dec. 20, the republic's Com-
munist Party voted to rupture ties
with its national parent, the first
such break since the Communists
took power in Moscow in 1917.
Lithuanians, who had their
own country before Josef Stalin
annexed it in 1940 as part of a
secret Nazi-Soviet treaty, say their
next step is a complete political
break with Moscow.

Grand jury begins investigating
death of pregnant woman Friday
BOSTON (AD - A revolver
fished out of a river fits the de-
scription of the gun used in the
snooting death of a pregnant
woman, according to a police
spokesman who said the find may
be "a major piece of the puzzle
A grand jury on Friday will
begin an investigation and will
hear a "substantial" number of
witnesses, Suffolk County District
Attorney Newman Flanagan said
without elaboration.
Investigators believe Charles
Stuart stood to collect about
SoNllXX") from three life insurance
policies on his wife, Carol, The
Boston Globe reported Wednes-
day. The newspaper, citing un-
identified sources, said the poli-
cies included a $4S0,000check that
had been processed by Prudential
Insurance Co. last Thursday. On
that day, Stuart apparently com-
mitted suicide by jumping off a
bridge after his brother implicated
him in the slaving.
Stuart, 30, told police be and
his wife were shot by a black man
who forced his way into their car
as they iett a childbirth class Oct.
23. A black man was named as a
suspect in the case, but later
cleared. Mrs. Stuart died hours
after the shooting. Their prema-
ture son, Christopher, delivered
bvCaesarean section,died 17days
later.
Stuart planned to use the in-
surance money to open a restau-
rant with friends, theGlobequoted
unidentified investigators as say-
ing. It also said transcripts of tele-
phone conversations on Jan. 2
between two of Stuart's siblings
show that his siblings planned to
tell their parentsof suspicions that
he was involved in the killing. The
transcript was from a call on a line
at Revere Fire Department, where
his brother Michael isa firefighter,
the Globe said.
"We're going to tell Mom and
Dad Stuart's sister, Shelley Yan-
doli, told Michael.
"What are you going to tell
them?" Michael responded.
"We're going to tell them we
know that Chuck was involved.
We're not going to say that he
killed her she reportedly an-
swered. The Globe did not say
whether she told her parents.
Divers recovered the snub-
nose revolver from the Pines River
in Revere on Tuesday, said Larry
Gillis, a spokesman for the Metro-
politan District Commission po-
lice. The gun's registration num-
bers matched those on a pistol
reported stolen from the fur shop
where Charles Stuart worked, the
Globe said, citing unidentified
sources.
"It fits the description said
Gillis. "Hopefully a major piece of
the puzzle has fallen into place
Flanagan said the gun would
be sent to the FBI crime laboratory
in Washington, DC, for tests.
Stuart's brother Matthew told
authorities last week that he met
Charles Stuart at a car on the night
of the shooting. Matthew also told
authorities Charles had passed
him Mrs. Stuart's handbag, which
contained some personal items
and a 38-caliber handgun.
Matthew told his attorney that
he was not then aware that his
brother or Mrs. Stuart had been
shot. He said he took the bag to
Revere and threw it and the gun
separately into the Pines River.
Legislators look for ways

he was frustrated that teens are

"Does the single parent either

"That's creating a very strin-

and then abandons the girl.
"1 think that our money would
be better spent if there was some
way to temporarily sterilize males

Sen. Fountain Odom, D-Meck-
lenburg, suggested.
But Sen. Helen Marvin, D-
(.aston, who also co-chairs the
panel, said the General Assembly
can't legislate physical drive or
attitudes. Instead, lawmakers
should make sure the programs
are provided in early grades on
parenthood and accountability.
Sen. Richard Chalk, R-
Davidson, suggested the state
might consider imposing penal-
ties on adolescents who become
pregnant, such as banning them
from public schools. Johnnie Ell-
erbe, director of the Division of
Social Services in the state Depart-
ment of Public Instruction, said
she knew of no penalties, but said
there were some alternative
schools in some-counties where
pregnant girls could choose to
attend.

students be sent to alternative
schools "so they don't stay in

During the 1989 legislative
session, Chalk offered a bill that
would make it a felony for teen-
agers to engage in sexual activity.
No action was taken on the meas-
ure.
Beard sparked a response
from a sociologist in the audience
when he suggested that some teen-
agers were getting pregnant a
second time for more aid.

that had slipped only slightly to
90.3 percent, according to calcula-
tions based on historical records
kept by theommerce Depart-
ment. By the turn of the century,
the Nuith's share ot blacks de-
clined to su 7 percent It dropped
steadily in tins century as blacks
moved In search of jobs in the
northern and western industrial
centers
The new Study concluded
there were 2.1 million blacks in
the United Statesasof March 1988,
up 13-6 percent since the 1980
Census That represented 12.2
percent ot all Americans, up from
11 7 percent in 1980.
The median age for blacks is
273 years compared with 33.1
years for whites. Thatcompa res to
median ages in I960 of 24.8 for
blacksand 30.8for whites. Among
blacks, there were 88 males for
every 100 females, compared with
lb white males for every 100 white
females.
The large differential among
blacks may be related to the lower
mortality rates for women. The
Census also misses more black
males than females in its counts,
the report said.
The percentage of blacks
completing four years of high
school increased from 75 percent
of those age 25 to 34 in 1980 to 80
percent in 1988. The figure for
whites held steady at 87 percent

"The Little Mermaid" is a current movie based on the Hans Christian Anderson story. In
this picture, the sea princess, Ariel, is fascinated by the fork her seagull friend, Scuttle,
has found in the world above her ocean home.
Disney movie charms viewers
Bv Michelle Walker
Staff Writer
Disney animation has outdone itself once again
with the release of its 28th full length animated fea-
ture 'The little Mermaid
Fantastic animation, wonderful new Disney char-
acters and its lively and memorable musical score
make this most recent version of Hans Christian
Andersen's aquatic, fantasy tale a delightful cine-
ma tic experience. The creators tailor Andersen's more
melancholy, emotional story to tit the Disney style,
once again producing a classic tale where good
triumphs over evil.
The story swims you from the depths oi King
Triton's animated ocean to the ships and castle of his
daughter Ariel's beloved prince. Vivid images sharp-
ened by skillful light and shadowing techniques anchor
this production high above any previously animated
feature. With a team of more than 400 artists, using
nearly 150,000 painted cells, 1,100 backdrops, and
1,000 different colors, the film took almost three years
to produce.
The design and variety of lovably cute sea charac-
ters, along with the "wish you were" human ones.
help win audiences' hearts and make the film
endearing. Stealing the show were Ariel's sidekick
Jamaican crab, Sebastian, and the vulgar sea wit h,
Ursula. All the characters combined make tor a
very satisfying whole. It has romance, suspense
and when not laughing out loud, it keeps you
smiling on the inside throughout the duration
Sebastian, with his wisecracks and one-liners,
enriches the films comic potential. He is a trus-
trated musical conductor who, originally spying
on Ariel for her father. King Triton, intends to keep
her out of trouble but inevitably ends up accom-
paning her in her mischievous pursuit of human
legs and love.
Ursula, half octopus and half Drag Queen,
with her jiggling bosom and nauseating cackle,
becomes a classic Disney villainess. She, claiming
to be "practically starving" makes Rosanne Barr
seem a voluptuous sex-goddess. Bargaining a pair
of human legs for Ariel's beautiful singing voice,
Ursula gives her three days to win the prince's love
which has to be sealed with a passionate kiss. If
Ariel fails the conquest, her soul becomes Ursula's
for eternity.

Pickin the Bones:
Bonehead goes on a quest for credit
By Chippy Bonehead
Staff Card Holder
There once was a lad named
Bonehead. He was a very poor
boy, but he was pure of heart and
he had a big bone besides. One
day before the holiday season
came bearing down upon him like
an enraged crossing guard, he
realized he was too poor even to
buv his aged mother a Christmas
present.
He thought this was a bad sort
of thing, the sort of thing bad boys
such as those who hang outside
the Fast Fare pretendingto be skate
punks would do. He resolved that
this sort of thing should not be his
lot in life, yet he had not a clue as
to how to change his situation.
Lo,and there came anangel to
him, disguised as a Visa applica-
tion. The angel spoke unto him
and said, "Apply now! Enrolled
college students accepted without
credit checks! Visa can help you
buy nice Christmas presents for
your aged mothers
Young Bonehead's eyes lit up
as will cat's eyes do when one
trains a speeding car's headlights
on them. This could save his
Christmas! It could in fact solve all
of his problems. He began to think
of the unlimited benefits he could
experience as a credit cardholder.
No longer would he wistfully
stare at the advertisements in his
porno magazines. Now he could
call beautiful girls, have them talk
of deviant sex practices with him
and have it discreetly billed to his
home as "System 900 Interna-
tional
No longer would he have to
stare wistfully through the win-
dows of record stores, longing to
buy the newest Madonna CD, or
have to wait patiently for a friend
to tape their Madonna CD for him.
He could walk right in and say
proudly, "I'll have that newest
Madonna CD please. I'll put it on
my Visa card
No longer would his aged but
kind mother stare wistfully at the
floor on Christmas morn. Mother's
Day morn, her birthday morn and
just about any other morn that the
Hallmark company had decided
to emphasize with tons of senti-
mental and commercial value,
with tears in her eyes as she re-
ceived the same present again.
No longer would she say,
"Thank you, my darling Bone-
headed son, this roll of toilet pa-
per is exactly the shade and con-
sistency I'd have chosen myself
had I been forced to shop at Food
Lion. Thank you
In fact, there would be a whole
lot lessof this wistful staring busi-
ness going on, if only he could get
this Visa card! He ran to the near-
est Kinko's and offered to lick
envelopes shut for an hour or so in
return for the use of the Xerox
machine.
Later that night, tongue-weary
and nauseous but spiritually buoy-
ant, Bonehead dropped off the
application form with an enclosed
Xerox copy of his current class
schedule into the mailbox. He had
completed all the requirements.
Now he could only wait
The application had stated
that he would receive his card
within four weeks. As the allotted
time span drew to a close, he be-
gan to become slightly neurotic
about the whole thing. He noticed
that if it was raining, the postman
got done with his route thirteen
and a half minutes quicker than he
did on nice sunny days, days in
which any normal person not
waiting obsessively for a piece of
plastic would have been outside
enjoying life.
Time, in its unyielding quest
to get absolutely nowhere but still
recklessly decay everything in its
path on its way there, moved on.
After seven weeks of waiting,
seven weeks of using his lunch
hour to wait for the mailman,
seven weeks of boasting to his
cardholder friends, "Oh, you pay
for dinner tonight. When I get MY
Visa card, I'll take you out after
seven weeks of this behavior, he
gave up.
He realized that the only way
he was going to get his Visa was if
the entire board of directors of
Visa went temporarily insane

UNC-W coaches investigated
WILMINGTON (AP) Ir-
regularities within the men's and
women's basketball programs at
the University ol North Carolina
at Wilmington do not warrant the
dismissal of the two head basket-
ball coaches, a top official said.
Charles Cahill, the school's
provost and vice chancellor for
academic affairs, said the irregu-
larities were not severe enough to
warrant dismissal of head coaches
Robert McPherson and Manlyn
Christoph.
An athletic fact-finding com-
mittee, appointed by Cahill last
spring, concluded that a UNCW
booster 'palmed $300 to McPher-
son in the hotel lobby where the
Seahawks stayed at last year's
Colonial Athletic Association
tournament in Hampton. Vaand
that the coach distributed that
monev to the players.
The committee also revealed
that Christoph had a "slush fund"
tor her women's program, the
Wilmington Morning Star re-
ported.
"My concern is to insure that
we have a class program Cahill
said. "These findings were not of
the level to warrant a firing. At
this particular point, 1 can't com-
ment on the committee's report.
That information is protected bv
the privacy act. But I think appro-
priate action was taken by me
The committee made five rec-

some were implemented while the
others were being instituted.

It is very fitting that Kristi Overton's name be affixed
to this Endowed Scholarship due to the fact that she

by a female athlete right here in our own commu-
