Faculty senate discusses cuts By Jay Haverty Staff Writer Nationally acclaimed speaker on rape prevention Frederic Storaska discusses the most important weapon a woman possess to ward off attackers ? her brain. (Photo by Joey Jenkins) Speaker focuses on rape prevention By April Draughn Staff Writer "You can't terrorize people with a topic and then expect them to do something Fred ric Storaska said of rape prevention in his lecture Monday night at Hendrix Theater. Storaska is an expert on rape prevention who, after witnessing the gang rape of an 11 year-old girl in 1964, decided to research rape prevention and to lecture on it to educate women on the tactics they can use to scare (iff an attacker and prevent possible rapes. Storaska based his book "How to Say No to Rapists and Survive published in 1974 . on the research he made. The book was also made into a film. Storaska mainly pointed out that his lecture was "a lecture on hope" saving, "Youdohaveagoinl chance to minimize what will happen to you in a rape situation He maintained that his strategies, which were actions such as gouging an attacker's eyes out or talking to the attacker as a human being were mostly "a program of psychological karate" and that the See Storaska, page 2 l( U'slascultySenatehasmet tor its eighth regular meeting for the IMS1-PAH) academic year. This final meeting oi the group for the year was dominated by budget cuts, parking problemsand harassment policies. Chancellor Richard R. Eakin reported that the revenue shortfall for North Carolina is close to $400 million dollars. This will lead to greater cuts throughout all sectors of the state's spending. These spending cuts will be felt in ECU's fourth quarter, where the schiKl is $4 million short of projected available dollars. .Eakin reiterated that these losses will not affect salaries of university em- ployees. But utilities, supplies, equipment and travel monies will bear the cutbacks. To aid these problems a freeze on hiring is in effect until July 1, as is a cut on traveling expenses for employees. Other solutions, such as the five percent cut in depart- mental operating budgets, have shown some savings to the school since their initiation. Eakin also hopes that no lay- offs will occur due to money short- falls, nor will any other measures be taken that in any way will harm the academic integrity of ECU. Requests by employees for travel expenses and reimbursements and for equipment purchases will be reviewed bv administrative persons to determine importance, and to determine if any can be feasibly cancelled. The chancellor also reported that employees will be allowed to take voluntary leaves of absence without pay, but with benefits to help cutback payroll expenses. Eakin, in reference to solving our budget crunch, stated, "we have nochoice and that coopera- tion was needed from everyone in the community of the school in order to limit theeffectsof the belt- tightening. The outlook for the 1990-1991 academic year is better, but the problems may ride into that period. Eakin said, "the temptation is there when discussing the possibility of pushing some of the budget problems into the 1990- 1991 year. But both the university and Chancellor Eakin are doing everything possible to avoid that and hope to deal with the financial shortfall now. Eakin also told the senators that these cuts "will not dim our vision Nor does the university's leader feel that the students will directly feel ramifications from the money problems, "there will be fewer peopledoing the same work, we will not be hiring new secretaries or custodial staff members at this time Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Mai lene Springer, reported on her accomplishments and dis- appointments of her first eight months as vice chancellor. "I have placed more budget responsibility with the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. I have instituted as hiring policy that we not, except in extraordinary cases, entertain hiring people with bachelor's degrees to teach on our full-time faculty Springer also discussed the transference of the budget of the administrative offices directly into academic affairs, and the individ- ual meetings she now holds with See Faculty, page 3 Inside Editorial4 Are anti-smoking com- mercials a little bit ex- treme?

Because the brotherhood concept is missing in the Russian society, people have become "indifferent toward one another he continued. When they re indifferent and there is no monetary incentive to work, then they become inefficient added D'Souza. If there was a concern tor others, regardless ot the economic situation, the Soviet people "would still achieve efficiency D'Souza is the author of eight books and more than 100 articles. He is also a termer president of the Indian Sciological Societv and a three-time Fulbright recipient. He discussed observations he made while visiting the Soviet Union in 1985 for a United ations confer- ence, m i9S8 as a member of the Indo-Soviet Joint Commission for Cooperation in Social Sciences, and m North Korea in 1989 tor a meet- ing ot the Association ot Sociolo- gists. According: to D'Souza, the Faculty concept of brotherhood has two perspectives: maximization of utilities, which puts importance on material goods; and, maximi- zation of capacities, which empha- sizes making people self-reliant, sociable and having a concern tor one another. "What is happening in mod- ern society is based on the per- spective ot maximization of utili- ties D'Souza said. "In the proc- ess, man becomes more and more selfish and self-centered He suggested that with the aceeptanceof the idea of fraternity, both equality and liberty can take place in a society. D'Souza said that because fraternitvisa toppriontv in North Korea, communism can succeed in this kind ot society. Continued from page 1 ? the deans.

Presently there are "three times more parking per- mits sold than spaces available according to Ferrell. Ferrell believes that one possibility that may help alleviate a portion of the problem would be to move the 250 state owned ve- hicles to a separate location. This would open a tew additional spaces for students and faculty members on the campus. Dr. Ronnie Van Sant, director of Teaching Fellows at ECU, reported on the progress that program has had in the state ot North Carolina. A participant in the Teaching Fellows program recieves $5000 as an incentive to enter the teaching profession. The program is greatly needed to aid the teacher shortage. Since 1975 the number of college graduates recieving North Carolina teaching certification has fallen 5bpercent.

The first ad in the campaign depicts the leaders oi tobacco companies as morally corrupt robber-batons, whose evil machinations lead them to prey on an unsuspecting, gullible and innocent public. One almost expects that, in the next commercial in the series, they'll be shown tying some innocent young lass to the railroad tracks. Such stereotyping hardly adds to the value of public debate. (Besides, the president ol RJR-Nabisco, now on an anti-smoking drive, is one obvious counterexample to the view the commercials present.) More important, it serves to hinder discussion about smoking's health-related effects and it will probably reinforce least somesmokers' determination to persist in their habit The problem is not that what the ads imply is completeU untrue. Certainly the heads ol tobacco companies know the effects of theii products. mA for them to continue selling is at least morall) questionable. 1 lowever, their customers are, for the most part, well a wareol what they're getting themselves into when they decide to begin smoking (or when thev decide not to quit). And, though it's hardly a defense, the tobacco companies do provide a lot of jobs in areas which would not otherwise be able to provide those jobs - in states like North Carolina. The Health Department is funding the campaign with a 25-cents-per-pack tax on every pack of cigarettes sold in the state. To force smokers to pay tor the campaign is clever, trom the standpoint of the California Department oi 1 lealth Sen ices, but it is also unfair. It' the ad campaign must run, then it must be funded, but those funds should come not just from smokers but front the state's general tax revenues ? since the advertisements are, presumably, in the public interest and not simply in the smokers' interest. More important than the question oi who pays is the question oi whether the ad campaign should exist at all. The answer is: it shouldn't Californians have a right to engage in self-destructive behavior if thev want to. and the state oi California has no right to force them to pay a tax in order that thestatecan publicly criticize their behavior. California, of course, views the situation differently. In a state known for being health- conscious, the public attitude toward smokers is a little less friendly than it is here. But California's non-smokers must accept that part oi their responsibility' as members ot a free society is to tolerate people who do things they don't like. Thev don't have to tolerate it when the smokers around them increase their risk ol cancer, but these ads are not running because the state decided that too main people were dropping dead from second-hand smoke. In fact, non- smokers are subjected to much less second- hand smoke than in recent years, partly because smoking has been banned or restricted in many businesses (including The East Carolinian) and on airplanes. The ads are running, rather, because smoking is. in California even more than m cither states, unpopular and therefore fairly safe to attack. lust as California's non-smokers must restrain themselves, so must the Health Department restrain itself. The Health Department admits ? or, more accurately, proclaims that the intent oi their advertisements is to make smoking less socially acceptable. Whatever the lealth Department's views on smoking, and however justified those views may be, it is wrong to run ads that stigmatize groups oi people based solelv on the fact that they engage in practices others find annoying. Whatever good this may do for smokers' physical health, it will not improve their mental health. Nothing prevents California's I Vpartment of Health Services from warning smokers of the dangers oi tobacco use ? in fact, their doing so is clearly in the public interest. But their current crop oi television advertisements is too close to propaganda, and too far away from dissemination of information, to be considered an appropriate part oi their function Rather than try to shape public opinion with such outlandishlv slanted commercials, the California Department of Health Services should stick to the facts. Their job is to provide health-related information ? information ? so that the members of the public may make their own decisions. Their job is not to attempt to convert the public to a particular viewpoint, but to shed light on discussion. Cot a light California? ' $dfd . By Nathaniel Mead 1 editorial Columnist Time magazine's "Planet of the Year" was a smash hit when it came out in the first week of anuary last year. Among the many interesting items in the issue, a single statement su?od out from all the rest that top scientists in the U.S. and Europe agree we have only ten years to save the planet. I'hev say Earth is threatened primarily by two tat.tors. (I) the imminent and ever-present danger of nuclear war (due either to computer malfunction or to terrorists getting hold of nuclear missiles)and (2) the exponentially growing problems of global pollution and overpopulation. Hie second factor is clearlv the one whichdominatesourmindsas we approach Earth Day In September, lime's cover- Story was "Torching the Amazon a brilliant depiction ot the ecological nightmare that has swept our precious rainforests. Theeditorsonly forgot to mention one minor detail: we Ameneans are to blame tor much oi the destruction. South America's Amazon jungle is 90 percent the area oi the United States, ,nd it contains between one-third and one-half of all the world's species. Nowhere else in the world is there such genetic wealth. These rainforest species provide medicines, cosmetics, and numerous other benefits to affluent sx:ietios. They are uniquely adapted to life in the rainforest. When the indigenous people and wild species are threatened by encroaching colonists, lumbermen, ranchers, and miners, the people and animals either flee or die. And this is precisely what is happening to their precious home. At the present rate. .n area the size ot orth Carolina disappears everv year. So what's the major cause ot rainforest's demise? The mainstream press has brainwashed us into attributing the devastation only to the growing population ot impoverished landless peasants who are constantly needing more land. The problem is exacerbated by skyrocketing inflation ratesand slipshod govcrment colonization policies. But this is actually only a minor part of the problem. The great majority ot despoiled acres are razed by foreign cattle, mining and timber interests, irrespective of Latin American needs or benefits. The bulk oi devastation is caused by corporate greed, and many of us are unwittingly supporting it. Cattle ranching to feed North American bellies takes the biggest toll of all. In the 1980's, the development oi cattle ranches accounted for nearly three- quartersof Brazil's forest clearing, according io the Spring 1482 OSA Rainforest Review and the une4, 1988 Science News .

See Rain Forests, page 5 Campus Spectrum SGA President speaks of future As my term oi office draws to a close 1 would like to reflect upon the vear and offer my vision as to what 1 see for East Carolina University in the future. The past year has been without a doubt the most fulfilling year oi my lite. It has brought me a tremendous feeling to know that 1 honestly gave this position every ounce of energy that 1 had. For the past year mv life has revolved around serving as student body president, and 1 do not regret a single second ot it. There are some moments that stand out above all others. The brightest moment may have been themarchonCityl fall, when noise permits were eliminated. For once I believe that theory of Greenville began to realize that students will not stand for being treated as second class citizens. One thing that some members of the City Council fail to realize is that we as individual students may only be here for four or five vears yet there will alwavsbeat least 15,000 students residing in Greenville. Purple Monday was also an event that opened the eyes of many. Our economic input into the community must not be underestimated. The "Stop the Nonsense Rally" that was held on Purple Monday brought out many students that were not pleased at all with the handling of the so called "riot" in Tar River and the elimination of noise permits. The Halloween incident isone that still concerns me very much. There was no reason for the situation to be handled in the manner that it was; riot gear, prison buses, and over 100 police officers all for a partv with only 200 people. The damage that the city of Greenville did to the public image of East Carolina University is not measurable. What does the average parent in Charlotte, with a prospective student of ECU say now after reading about the huge riot" at East Carolina The whole Halloween ordeal could have been prevented by allowing the celebration downtown. There have been many other occurencesover the past vear that have been worth noting, vet instead of continuing to reflect on the past I would like to offer mv insight into what lies ahead for ECU and how 1 feel it should be approached. We as citizens of Greenville must become more involved with the actions of the city. The effort must be made now to register every student to vote and once registered we must participate in the elections. Everyone on the city council is not evil, there are just a few that are close-minded. As long as these members remain on the council the progress of both Greenville and ECU will be held back. It has pleased me to see nearly $600,000 appropriated to additional lighting on campus. We must still continue to make all areas of campusassafeaspossible. The city of Greenville can help by increasing lighting in the areas around campus. Pirate Ride is in place and now should be expanded to include more areas both on and off campus The problem ol parking is one that must be addressed right ? It is not going to cure itsell As expensh easit ma) be I do belies that a parking deck is still th- ? solution 1 see our athletic program making great strides in the next few vears 1 believe that our football program should and will make a move into a conference This can only bring benefits I everyone involved with Fast Carolina 1 also believe that we as students must stand up for our rights. W bother it be a city, state or a local problem we must unite to tight the problems of societv today. Our voice has been heard this vear we cannot quit now that the tight has only begun. Inclosing! would liketothank everyone that gave me the opportunitv to serve as your student bodv president. The vear has been very exciting and it is going tone very hard to give it up 1 will sav that I will never give up in working for the betterment of East Carolina students. 1 wish Allen Thomas good luck with the position. Allen, 1 have all the faith in the world in you and know that you will do an excellent job Again to all I say thank you and close by saying it has truly been an honor to serve.

Kelly Easterling Graduating Senior Student addresses parking issue To the editor. Yesterday I received a parking ticket (No. 12087) for parking in a ipace that I have frequently used and that is filled every day by someone, in the lot just across 10th Street from Fletcher. The space Joes not violate any safety regulations that 1 know about. As i commuter (45 miles each Jiret tion each day) 1 resent having a hassle about parking. I don't pay I per vear to sit in a line for 45 minutes waiting forparkingspace. I can'l park at Mingcs because sometime I have only an hour to run an errand so my vehicle needs to be where I can have access ?without reiving on shuttle service. There are several matters that need to be addressed regarding campus parking. 1There arc two handicapped spaces in the large commuter lot on College Hill Drive. If I were handicapped, I certainly would not want to have to navigate a Rain Forest directly feed into the Greenhouse J Effect Six percent of the world is ? overed by tropical forest,yet that -mall fraction will account for up to 25 percent of the global u arming if the burning continues. Global warming may spell widespread droughts, shorter growing seasons, and large-scale starvation by the year 2000. Either vou should start stock-piling (hose Twinkies or stop eating those hamburgers. Why not boycott all fast food chains until they stop buying rainforest beef? Only Burger King has stopped doing so.) Of course, that would only be a first step. At the Global Climate hange Symposium I attended earlier this month at N.C. State University, Professor Pedro Sanchez proposed a worldwide, coordinated Deforestation Reduction Initiative involving education and policy formulation for "sustainable management" (soil conservation, reforestation. steep incline,contend with broken sidewalk, and move across 10th Street. This is another put-down to the handicapped students.Their spaces should be close to building entrances. That handicapped space could be restriped for three compact cars. 2.) There is a car with Massachusettsplatesthathasbeen parked and stationary in the long commuter lot across for Brewster since last August. I was told that it belongs to a staff member who "hasn't gotten around to moving it" and that there is a "don't tow" remark for that vehicle. Until yesterday it didn't even have a current parking sticker on it. (I can't believe the person would have paid $50 to let it sit there when towing charges are $25) That space could be used for a legitimate commuter. 3.) Staff parking lots are opened to other university stickered cars after 7 p.m. I would say that if the staff is not in place- before that, then they should give way to commuters and night stickers. It has already been determined that it is not safe for women to walk around campus at night, so why should parking spaces be left open just because some staff member "might" want to park there. More realistic would be a 5 p.m. time. Staff has already claimed about 30 parking spaces that use to belong to commuters. I really believe that your department is capable of more creative solutions for the parking problems. The situation for visitors is even more ridiculous. Perhaps the money spent for salaries for those who go around giving us tickets for minor infractions (or no obvious infraction, in my case) could be better spent in a fund to build parking tiers.

HELL FREEZES OVER Tut: Amalcamai:d Pkkss Much to everyone's surprise, r lell actually froze over yesterday. The sudden freeze occurred six seconds after 6:06 yesterday morning, according to the Center for Hell Temperature Studies at ECU. The exact cause of the freeze is unknown, but rumor has it that Hell has long been suffering from financial difficul- ties and a shortage of material goods, both of which ha ve resulted in a grow- ing dissatisfaction on the part of its citizens. "Hell has long been su f fenng from financial difficulties and a shortage ot material goods, both of which have resulted in a growing dissatisfaction on the part of its citizens said A. Rumor, a long-time resident of Hell. "Just try to get something as basic as a fan or a refrigerator ? you're stand- ing in line for months The opening of the Berlin Wall and the demise of communism in Eastern Europe had prompted specu- lation that Hell froze over quite some time ago, but this hypothesis was re- jected by ECU's Director for Hell TemperatureStudies"Muffy'Stophe- les. "There had been a definite ant- ing trend in Hell for several months Stopheles explains. "We conjecture that heat from Hell was leaking upwards to Earth's surface, thuscaus- mg global warming. But the actual freeze took place only yesterday, though we didn't release that infor- mation to the public until further test- ing this morning confirmed its accu- racy Future changes expected to take place in the underworld: ? Democraticelectionsandanend to the one-party system of govern- ment. Satan is expected to try to un- fairly influence the outcome of the elections, but a team of mterdimen- sional election inspectors (led by for- mer president Jimmy Carter) will monitor the process. ? Opening thegatesof Hell. Satan has already announced that the infa- mous "Checkpoint Cerberus" will be dismantled early next month. Some Earthbound scientists have reportedly been inconvenienced by the freeze. "A snowball's chance in tLU bNAhbhU lb meaningless statistics tnat snape our campus We're Firing More WZMB Broadcasters! 10000 8000 - 6000 - I U- 4000 2000 - 0 1982 1984 1986 1988 Year Hell' a previously tiny number that is important to many physics calcula- tions, now approaches 1(X). How- ever, scientists are looking at a figure that approaches the former value of "a snowball's chance in Hell This new number, "an artworks chance in Helms is actually slightly smaller than its predecessor, but scientists may yet prove able to work around the dis- crepancy. Beyond its effects on the scientific community, however, Hell's freeze has had profound consequences for all aspects of life. Around the world, events that many claimed would only takeplaceata time "when Hell freezes over as the popular expression has it, are at last occurring. ECU Today and THE Amalgamated Prkss are working together to keep you abreast of the startling changes that will no doubt take place as the situation de- velops.

In actuality, they weren't even on the air the morning of the alleged broadcast, but home in bed nursing way big hangovers.

Children's Day. It will fall midway between Mother's Day and Father's Day each year. "But no exact date has been set yet Hallmark CEO Mark Hall said. "You have to understand the nature of holidays whose dates change each year. We don't determine the date, we just let advertisers start making holi- day commercials whenever they feel it's been about a year since that holi- day last occurred. "The public just accepts that it's time for Mother's Day or Secretary's Day again, and starts buying. So, whenever the big department stores start advertising Kid's Day, then we'll narrow down a date The decision to create the holiday came after years of debate.

In an appar- ently unrelated statement, Farrt also revealed that she wears a toupee. Farrt went on to say that perhaps the most disgusting part of the entire affair was that the head of the universiry'sCommunications Depart- ment (by which Farrt apparently meant herself) would so much as consider taking such a conservative view of First Amendment rights.

Ralph David Abernathy. Abernathy achieved his SUCCC98 in the shadow of Martin Luther King r. He was King's closest aide and best friend. Less charismatic and more militant than his "blood brother Abernathy was an integral part of the movement. There probably could not have been a civil rights movement without the contribution he made said King protege Andrew Young, former mayor of Atlanta. When King was a verv voung and shy man, it was Ralph Abernathy's friendship and support thai helped him emerge to plant the seeds of human rights and human dignity now spreading all over the world Abernathy was with King from the beginning, initiating the Montgomery, Ala bus boycott in 1955. Me accompanied King to Oslo when King accepted the Nobel peace prize. And it was Abernathy who cradled King's head as King lay dying on the balcony of Memphis' Lorraine Motel in 1968. Shortly after King's death, Abernathy wrote a letter to the man he considered his dearest friend. "Martin he wrote, "Find Frederick Douglass Check with Nat Turner, and Marcus Garvey, for they too are heroes in our crusade. And don't forget Malcolm X. Look for Malcolm X, Martin Young sees Abornathy'sdeath in much the same way. "Death is not an end Young said. "And I am sure he will renew his friendship with Martin Luther King Abernathv was felled not by an assassin's bullet, but My overworked heart. Still, the shock was great. "I am deeply saddened said Coretta Scott King "His pioneering work in the movement helped to empower millions of black voters Said Rev. Joseph l.owery, a friend who succeeded Abernathy as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference: "We did not know his illness was quite so critical. He had not been receiving visitors. We had heard he had been on a diet and his sodium level was low. Abernathy, 64, was hospitalized March 23 at Crawford Long Hospital of Emory University for whatdoctorscalled a low sodium condition He had suffered strokes in 1983and 1Q8k I leabohad surgery for a blocked cerebral artery in 1983, Tuesday, he was taken from intensive care for a lung scan to check for a blood clot in his lung. As he was preparing for the procedure, his heart stopped. Abernathy is survived by his wife, Juanita: two sons, Kwamc and Georgia state Rep. Ralph David Abernathy III; and two daughters, Juandalynn and Don.a lei gh. Funeral arrangements were pending. A woman who answered the phone at the Abernathy residence said the family had no statement. The grandson of a slave, Abernathy recalled once that his grandmother announced the day he was born in Linden, Ala "This (is) the strange one. He will be different from anyone else in the family Abernathy went to school at Atlanta University, giving up mathematics for sociology because, "I realized my life was with people He met King then, at Ebenezer Baptist Church. But it was in Montgomery, in 1954, that the two preachers from two churches joined forces. "He put personal ambition aside to support (King) with his total lovalty and devotion said Benjamin Hooks, director of the NAACP. "In the darkest days of the movement, he was a tower of strength Abernathv took up the mantle of the civil rights movement two daysafter King'sdeath.

Gannett News Service Seized tubes suspected to be gun parts LONDON (AP) ? The government is convinced that eight steel tubes seized by Customs officers last week were ordered by Iraq as parts for a gigantic gun, and that the seizurefoiled its plans, a top official said Wednesday. "I understand that it will not be possible to build a complete full-size gun from parts that have been supplied" from the United Kingdom, Trade and Industry Secretary Nicholas Ridley told the House of Commons. "The government is entirely satisfied that these tubes form part of a gun, and that the Customs action was correct he said. It was the first statement by a high-level government official confirming that it believes the tubes were intended tor a weapons project. Iraq and the manufacturer, Sheffield Forgemasters, insist they were intended for a petrochemical plant. "The government recently became aware in general terms of an Iraqi project to develop a long- range gun based on designs developed by the late Dr. Gerald Bull. The goods that were seized at Teesport and related documents areconsistent with what is known Of Dr. Bull's design Ridley said. Customs seised eight forged steel tubes at the port of Middlesbrough in northeastern England as they were about to be shipped to Iraq. Officials say the tubes could be used as part of a 130-foot-long gun to tire shells hundreds of miles Ridlev said his department wascontacted in 1988 by Sheffield Forgemasters, asking whether licenses were required "forexport of tubes to Iraq for use in the polymerization oi polyethelene The department was also contacted by Walter Somers Ltd. about a separate order from Iraq. "Until a few days ago, my department had no knowledge that the goods were designed to form part of a gun, Ridlev said. "If my department had known that purpose, they would, of course, have advised that licenses were necessary and thev would not have Canadian authorities ground F-18 flights Grenade hits school bus; 11 children found dead been granted Britain banned arms shipments to Iran and Iraq when the two countries wereat war, and the ban remains in effect. Ridlev's statement disputed a report in Wednesday'seditions the London newspaper The independent which cited unidentified government sources as saving "the Department of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Defense may have known the military potential of the order The Independent said that if true, that allegation suggested that government agencies were "conniving to break Britain's embargo on arms trade with Iraq BONN, West Germany (AP) ? Canadian military authorities Wednesday grounded F-18 training flights until investigators learn whv two fighter jets collided in an accident that renewed German demands for an end to such N ATO exercises. Tuesday's crash left one Canadian pilot dead and another injured, and showered parts of Karlsruhe with flaming debris, crushing several cars and damaging buildings in the southwestern city of 285,000 people. West German media said it was a miracle no civilians were lulled. The collision of the two Canadian fighters reminded Germans of the 1988 military jet disasters at the Ramstein U.S. Air Force base and in the central West German city of Rcmschcid. Both accidents killed German civilians as well as NATO pilots. The accident rekindled debate over the dozens of military training flights that criss-cross West German skieseachday. West Germans have said they would like to see the missions sharply curtailed as East-West relations improve. Hans-Jochen Vogel, head of the opposition Social Democrats, Wednesday demanded an immediate end to the NATO practice flights over densely populated areas. Friedel Laepple, interior minister for Saarland state and a Social Democrat,demanded a stop to all military training flights over West Germany. The West German government was also concerned and used some of the most pointed language to date after a military crash. The Defense Ministry in Bonn said it has "urgently asked the Canadian air force to quickly and comprehensively clear up the causes of the accident A spokeswoman for the Canadian Forces in Lahr, Baerbel Newman, said both flight recorders had been found, but the cause of the collision was not known. BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) ? A grenade fired by battlingChristian forces hi t a school bus at a crossing gateway between east and west Beirut Wednesday, setting it on fire and killing at least 15 people, including 11 children, police said. "Many of the pupils yelled for help as we tried to extinguish the fire. At least one teacher also was among the dead along with the driver a soldier on the scenesaid. A police spokesman said the bus was hit at 2:30 p.m. while trying to cross to Christian east Beirut. The spokesman, who cannot be named in line with regulations, said the bus from Mraijeh elementary school, a new private school in south Beirut, was hit by an incendiary rifle grenade, which ignited the fuel tank. "It couldn't be determined who fired the rifle grenade the spokesman said. It was not immediately clear why students from predominantly Christian east Beirut were attending primarv school in south Beirut, a Shiite Moslem stronghold. But man v students are among the csti ma ted 30.000 people whocommuteacross the line daily. The radio station of Christian Gen. Michel Aoun said the bus was fired at bv rival gunmen of Samir Gcagea's Lebanese Forces militia. "Geagea's fire burned out the children the broadcast said. Geagea's command could not be reached by telephone from west Beirut to comment on the report. However, the pro-Geagea Voice of Lebanon radio station called the hit "mysterious The gutted wreckage of the yellow bus lay on the pavement in the Aoun-controlled sector, a few yardseastofthemuseumcrossing that links Beirut's eastern and western sectors across thedi viding Green Line. The armv private, one of the soldiers serving under Aoun, said he and his colleagues "doused off the burning bus with water and we evacuated the victims to nearby hospitals The attack followed intermittent skirmishing and a powerful explosion that reportedly demolished two floors of Aoun's defense ministry. News reports said three soldiers were killed. Aoun's command said two were killed. It was not immediately clear what caused the blast. Aoun has been locked in bloody power struggle with Geagea for more than two months. They have been battling since Jan. 30 for control of the 310-square- mile Christian enclave. The fighting has killed 877 people and wounded 2388.

Jim Martin, retain her seat against Democrat lames Exum. The committee's attacks on Exum, who eventually won, circumvented ethical standards that bar judicial candidates from addressing issues that might later come before them. But that drew criticism from Democrats who said a judge's personal stands shouldn't affect decisions based on the law. This year. Democrats have formed their own group the Democratic Judicial Campaign Committee to answer similar attacks, if they come. "Things'U heat up as soon as the Republicans make a misstate- ment said former Rep Al Adams, chairman of the committee. "My role is to answer it and I'm pre- pared to do that In the 1986 race, Ms. Billings repeatedly distanced herself from attacks by Republicans. Adams said he expects similar behavior from the current crop of Republi- can candidates who "all have vcrv J strict ethical standards "I think that this one will be decided moreon the judicial quali- fications and the judicial record of the persons that hold the offices he said. That has been a problem for Republicans in the past because Democrats have had a strangle- hold on the judiciary tor decades, giving the GOP little chance to gain experience. That fact could spark another skirmish on the issue of how judges are chosen. Republicans have maintained that statewide election discriminates against the GOP and that Democrats would oppose merit selection or appoint- ive offices. Adams said the GOP might make campaigns as divisive as possible to create momentum for a new system. Abernathy Continued from page 9 Washington and elsewhere, he brought a more militant approach. He organized the Poor People's campaign and brought to Washington, D.C an encampment he called "Resurrection City His tirst effort flopped, a victim ol ram, heightened tensions from the rioting and poor organization. In 1977, Abernathy, under pressure, resigned as SCLC president. He returned to preaching and an unsuccessful run for the U.S. House. In 1980 he was criticized for endorsing the campaign of Ronald Reagan. Six months ago. his autobiography, "And the Walls Came Tumbling Down brought him as much attention as he ever had, not for his work, but for passages that said King had extramarital affairs, even on the night before his assassination. Privately, some of the mo vement's old-line leaders ha ve suggested Abernathy was jealous of King, going so far as to accuse speech writers of putting more flourish into speeches written for King than the ones written for Abernathy. Georgia state Rep. Tyrone Brooks, who helped Abernathy promote the book, defends him: Ralph was the unsung hero of the modern day civil rights movement And that's what was remembered. "Until Wednesday, nobody's mentioned the book to me in several months said Lowery. "I think it's run its course. What people will remember, what people should remember, is Ralph David Abernathy gave his life in pursuit of justice Ambassador Continued from page 9 relationships Threats of armed interven- tion in the Baltic states and Cen- tral Asia should not be a deter- rent to foreign business invest- ment, Dubinin said.

But women aged 17 and li tested positive more often than their male counterparts 28 of 102,576 women, or .027 percent, compared with 177of 763,872 men, or .023 percent ? an unusual phenomenon among any age group. For example, the male- female ratio among adults with full-blown AIDS is 9.3-1, the researchers said. The probable explanation, the researchers said, is that females aged 17 and 18 "are more likely to have older, infected sexual partners than males "The problem is from the Democratic standpoint that the Republican Party says they will be as dirty as they can because that will make the legislature change the way that we select judges Adams said.

It sounded cool ? some group of people were getting to run around on Inviso-power, and I just hoped they weren't spying on me. So 1 was crushed to learn it just meant fags. Because theoreti- cally, no one can tell they're a minority cause there's no visible difference between them and straight people. Well, I'll be the first to tell vou they aren't as invisible as they might want to be. So, just in case you're interested, Bonehead's Five Sore-Fire Methods for Uncover- ing the Homos in Your Life. 1) The dead giveaway, of course, is if they make a move on vou. Because all fags want every straight guy,and every dyke wants every sorority babe. just like every trat boy wants every dog-bite ugly girl, and ev- ery girl goes tor a sharp-dressed redneck. Still, some of the more arcane rumors that abound about frater- nities make me think even that's not tho giveaway I thought Not. having been initiated into a trat, 1 can't confirm or deny this, but it sure is intriging. For some reason, I've never heard ot rumors ot homosexual rites among sororities, but that could be because sorority chicks are credit-card oriented rather than sex oriented. 2) Fags look like wimps and dykes look like truck drivers. This seems to be a good rule ot thumb, but many a person has been sur- prised by the heterosexual prow- essofa skinnv. bushy-mo ustached guy or crew-cut cropped female Softball player. Nowadays, these invisible minority people seem to be wis- ingup. Fags lift weightsand shave, and dvkes are wearing make-up and not beating people up. You'd think they wore trvmg to stay invisible. 3) Thev go to gay bars. An- other good rule of thumb, but vou can'tcounton this one 1(H) percent either Gay bars generally play bettor dance music than straight bars, so straight guys and girls will sometimes pop up at the Paddock Club just to dance. And on the other side of the coin, some homos appear to have good taste in bands and so you can't be too surprised to run into some one Friday night at O'Rockefellers or the Deli. 4) Their apartments are more tastefully decorated. This is one of the most telling methods. Track lighting, framed erotic posters, Marilyn montages, Sylvia Plath books if you walk into an apart- ment like this, you can know with some certainty you're in the pres- ence of an alternate lifestylist. Of course, some are too poor to afford all those ferns, and they leave their clothes on the floor. And some straight people think Marilyn and James Dean were real actors, not just brainless bimbos who became cult hems because they diedyoung, so they may have a few posters up. 5) The only sure-fire method available is to check out the CD collection. It's a little easier to determine gays. If they have one See Minority, page 12 Wife trys to kill husband By Doug Morris suif Writer "I Love You to Death" is a storv based on the life ol Frances Toto. a Pennsylvania housewife who tried to kill her husband six times m failed in each attempt Being based on a true story adds some interest to the film. How- ever, bad direction and a poor story line make it dragon and on. To the film's credit, the char- actersarcall portrayed excellently.

State Wolfpack 6-5 al Harrington Field Wednesday night. The Pirates allowed a four- run seventh inning rally bv the Pack but held on for the victory, taking their record to 34-4 on the season. The Pirates remain unde- feated against Atlantic Coast Conference teams on the year (8- 0). Tim Langdon started on the mound for the Pirates, and picked up one of his six strike-outs tor the game in the first inning. The Pi- rates left one on alter one nit, and left one on on two hits in the sec- ond. The Tirate defense held the Wolfpack scoreless through two as Langdon picked up his second "K" of the game. In the third. Robbie Park advanced to tirst on an error by Kevin Riggs at second, and went to second when the next Wolfpack batter grounded out to Riggs. Scott Snead came up next tor the Pack, and rapped a burner between third and short for a double, scoring Bark from second to give N .C State a 1-0 lead. The Pirates answered with a run of their own in the bottom of theinning. Left fielder John Adams sent a long blast to the left field wall for a double, and then ad- vanced to third after an errant pitch. Catcher Tommy Eason scored Adams with a high shot to left-center after the State fielder lost the ball in the lights. Eason was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a triple. First baseman Calvin Brown threatened to score in the inning after get ting a single up the middle, then stretching it out to a double before the Wolfpack could make the play. 1 ie tripped to third after a low pitch got away from the catcher,but was left on when third ba sema n John Gast grou rtded ou t. Following An uneventful fourth inning, the Pirates put another run on the board in the bottom of the fifth when second baseman Kevin Riggs started off the side with a single to right field. He stole second, then followed a shot by Adams up the middle to score. Adams recorded a single on the hit. Brown ripped a shot down the first-base line for a double, moving Adams to third, but both were left on after Gast flew out to deep center. The Pirates made a run in the sixth after Langdon struck out the first two State batters, and short stop Berry Narron caught out the third to retire the Wolfpack in the top of the inning. Steve Godin reached first on a walk, then went to third when N'arron ripped a shot over second for a single. Not content with first, Narrondecided to peddle his wares at second, stealing to put the Pirates in good scoring position. Right fielder Tommy Yarbor- ough stepped up to the plate next, and sent the ball between first and second, scoring Godin and send- ing Narron to third. He went to See Langdon,page 16 Catch me!

Mayor Lionel Wilson says he has no choice but to ask the City Council to rescind its approval ot the controversial plan to bring the Raiders football team back to Oakland. "If it isn't dead, it'sdying Wilson said of the effort to lure the team back from Los Angeles. The Raiders moved south from Oakland in 1982 A drive to place the city-team package before the voters was at the bottom of Wilson's surprise announcement on Monday that came after he talked by phone with Raiders negotiator Jack Brooks, a part-owner of the football team. Petition organizers last week delivered more than 33,000 signa- tures, far more than needed to place the issue on the ballot. Raidersofficialssaid when the drive started that they would not let the deal go to a referendum. Brooks said Monday there would be nothing for the voters to decide because no deal had been signed. I don't know what they would vote on because there is no offer pending he said. The deal approved by Oakland and Alameda County guaranteed the Raiders$428 million in ticket salesand franchise feesovera 15-year period. We are happy that the citizens of Oakland have been heard from and that we now do not have a bad deal being forced upon us said Frank Russo, the lawyer who led the petition effort. Don Pcrata, chairman of the Alameda County Board of Supervi- sors, blasted Wilson. "The deal is finished he said. " am very disappointed in the manner in which (Wilson) did it. For 15 months, we operated as partners in an enterprise we felt was good for the community. But it is a partnership And when one partner pulls out, you kill the proposal " Flowever, Oakland City Councilman Richard Specs, who joined Wilson on the narrow council majority that backed the deal, said there was still a chance for a new agreement.

The public, more so than ever before, has become very health conscious and aware of their physical appear- ance. There are several health clubs and gyms around Greenville that many ECU students have discov- ered and made good use of. The newest member in the health club scene is Champions located in downtown Greenville. Since it's arrival one year ago, Champions has brought in over 500 members, 70 percent of which are ECU students. The club is owned and runned by former ECU health education teacher, Greg Lassiter. "We're not your basic club Lassiter said. "We are very serv- ice orientated and work hard to keep the place up Lassiter pointed out that Champions had "the largest selec- tion of free weights eaM of Raleigh" and a complete Hneof circuit train- ing.

Turner, 39, is reportedly one of two choices submitted to N.C. State interim Chancellor Larry Monteith for final consideration. Turner was scheduled to re- turn to his home in Storrs, Conn Monday night, but canceled his flight in order to continue talks with Monteith today. The Char- lotte Observer reported. Turner also met Monday with members of the N.C. State coach- ing staff and athletic department. Monteith said in a telephone interview with The Charlotte Ob- server late Monday night he had not offered Turner the job, but he would not rule out the possibility that that could happen soon. "We're just discussing at this point Monteith said. "We really don't have any announcement to make yet Turner could not be reached for comment Monday night. Title Connecticut President Dr. JohnT. Casteen said Monday night Turner had not informed him of any decision concerning N.C. State, but said he felt "Todd's qualifications and what I under stood to be N.C.

Clemson officials have received the case summary of the NCAA investigation into the school's football program and are prepar- ing ior their hearing before the Committee Of) Infractions in Kan- sas City on Friday. A case summary is a compila- tion of the National Collegiate Athletic Association'sallegations, the university's response and the NCAA enforcement staff's re- sponse to the Clemson response. It provides all the parties an indi- cation of the issues to be discussed in the hearing. "We're ready to get on with it said Nick Lomax, university vice president for student affairs.

(Bill) Brooks. longtime architect ot the school's athletic program, will retire from his post, effective March 1 1991. Brooks, 67, has directed UNC- YV's athletic department for the last 39 years, talking the school from its infancy as a small junior college program to NCAA Divi- sion 1 status today. 1 just think it's time to make the move said Brooks. As you know, Pr Wagoner is retiring, so lit will be appropriate for the new chancellor to play a role in the selection of the new athletic direc- tor. "1 just think that it's about time to go ahead and retire I've enjoyed it up to this point, and wish 1 had 20 more to go but it Wolfpack doesn't work that way A three-sport star in high school. Brooks served in World War II before obtaining his A.B. degree from Atlantic Christian College in 1948. After a brief stay in professional baseball with the old New York Giants farm sys- tem, he earned his MA. degree from East Carolina University. After a brief stint at Colerain (N.C.) High School, Brooks joined Wilmington College (now UNC- W) in 1951. He was the baseball coach for 26 years, headed up the basketball program for 21 years and also served as chairman of the physical education division dur- ing that time. But his leadership as athletic director for the last 39 years has been unmatched in terms of serv- ice and longevity. "First of all. Bill Brooks is a consumate gentleman said Dr. Wagoner. "He has impecable in- tegrity and a dedication to the overall growth of the university. "He moved an athletic pro- gram from the days when it was a small two-year institution to a well-respected NCAA Division I program affiliated with a major conference. "Bill Brooks deserves the admiration and respect of all who love the University of North Caro- lina at Wilmington Brooks, who has watched UNCW's athletic department grow in number to 32 employees, is the man responsible for two of the biggest changes 1 n the school's athletic history. In 1M76, U.C-W obtained NCAA Division I status, and on Oct.3,1984, the Seahawksofficially gained conference status bv join- ing the ECAC South Conference (now the Colonial Athletic Asso- ciation). Somcof the major accomplish- ments under the Brooks admini- stration include the securing of NCAA Division I status, a confer- ence affiliation, additional athletic facilities and the development from just men'sbasketball in 1951- 52 to 18 sports today. "I remember when we first started Brooks recalled, "and there is a certain amount of pleas- ure to know what we have now.

Alan Williams, chairman of the Committee on Infractions and the faculty athletics represcn- tativeat the Universityof Virginia, hasresigned from hearing thecase to avoid a potential conflict of interest. Virginia and Clemson are members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. If the ACC decides to impose other penalties on Clemson after the NCAA's action, Williams would have a vote in that. His decision to step aside leaves five members to rule on the Clemson case, with Milton R. Schroeder, a professor of law at Arizona State University and the next senior member ot the com- mittee, serving as chairman The committee is expected to announce a decision on the Clemson case within three weeks. In a letter dated Ian. 4, the NCAA charged the Clemson foot- ball program with 14 rules viola- tions ranging fromcash payments to playersof between $50and$150 to improper recruiting techniques which he said could bo recom- mended to Monteith if necessary Turner, whose parents still live in Raleigh, was a member oi Tar 1 leel golf teams for four sea- sons.

At Virginia, Turner served as an administrative assistant to for- nxvathleticdirectorsDickSchultz, Langdon now the executive director of the NCAA, and Gene Corngan, now the commissioner oi the Atlantic Coast Conference. He joined Connecticut in July 1987. Under Turner's administra- tion, Connecticut has dramatically increased itsathletic fund-raising.

Valvano'sremoval as athletic director followed the imposition of a two-year probation on N.C. State bv the National Collegiate Athletic Association. But that move failed to stem the tide of scandal that pursued Valvano's basketball program from January, 1989, until his re- cent resignation as coach. Good shot!

In the ninth, Davis struck out the first State batter, Narron threw out a runner at second and caught a pop-up to short to assure the Pirates the win. "This is a very pleasing win for us Overtoil commented after the contest. "State has an outstanding club, and they never give up, they're always a threat to come back.

(Photo by John Tyson) Students' environmental awareness increases By Donna Hayes Copy Kditor A new survey by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) indi- cates that today's college students are aware oi environmental issues and that they are willing lo pay more money for products that are envi- ronmentally safe. In a telephone poll of 500 American college students, the majority said ihcy are familiar with current environmental issues. The most recognized issues are oil spills, smog and acid rain. Ninety-four percent of ihe stu- dents said they are willing to pay more money for products and pack- aging that are environmentally safe. Students said they are very concerned about toxic waste, en- dangered species and protection of wilderness areas, and they arc somewhat concerned about smog, oil spills and acid rain. Almost half of the students indicated that environmental qual- ity is worse now than five years ago. and 69 percent said the environment will continue to decline for the next five years: however, the majority of ihe students indicated they will consider a political candidate's environmental position at least somew hat before voting in the next election. According to the poll's results. the most urgent environmental problems facing the planet unlay are air pollution, ozone depletion and trash disposal. More man half of the students indicated they believe industry is at least somewhat concerned about protecting the environment today. and a majority said mat industry, the government and al 1 of the people of the world together are responsible for pro- tecting the environment. More than half of the students also strongly agreed that ihe U.S. govern- ment should spend more money on the environment and less money on de- fense, and almost 72 percent agreed that congress should pass tougher environmental laws. Almost three-fourths of the stu- dents said recycling should bo manda- tory in all states. Recycling on the col- lege campus is popular. OC those gliilSSte whohqwlfc concern, almost half said they arc al least somewhat active in environ- mental issues and conservation, and 76 percent said they believe they can do something personally to protect the environment. Students said new spapersprovide the best environmental coveraee. but a majority agreed the media as a whole do an adequate job of informing die public about environmental issues. At least 94 percent indicated that college students can make a difference in environmental protection. The NWF, the nation's largesten- vironmcntal organiauon, conducted the poll lo assess environmental awareness and environmental conser- vation efforts among American un- dergraduate students between the ages of 17 and 24. All were enrolled in a foux-ycar college or university, and Iff ? "?' Of 111 ?1IJIIHB KIW male and half were female.

German student wants unification Duke'spancreas-kidney transplant succeeds By Shannon Buckley Pa;e Kditor A West Gorman student at ECU said she never thought she would see the Berlin Wall crumble during her lifetime, although she was unable to be in her homeland when this change took place. Mania Michel, a graduate exchange student at EC! , said, "It was a fantastic experience to see the wall topple down on live television According to Michel, nobod behoved this would take place m last Germany, especially not in such a short period ol time. Michel credits Ihe "new" ficedoins that the East Germans are experiencing to Communist Party Leader Mikhail Gorbachev and his plan known as Perestroika. She said that Gorbachev's ability to delect the true problems in his country and the Soviet Bloc led to all the changes that have been made in Communist countries. "The younger generation (of West Germans) is happy with what is going on and would be pleased to have unification with East Germany However, according to Michel, the older generation still has a problem with property rights. Michel explained that some members of the "older" generation want the property borders that existed before World War II to be Marna Michel reinstated. However, the government of West Germany has stated that they do not want this property back. Michel said, when she returned home for Christmas that she saw some changes in her country, but the most drastic changes took place in West Berlin. "This is where there were mass shortages of goods In addition to shortages, traffic was backed up for hundreds of miles because East Germans were finally free to visit West Berlin. Although the goods shortages did not affect Michel's visit, the heavy traffic did affect her. According to Michel, she could not make the trip to sec East Berlin, which she has been wailing a lifetime to do, because thousands of West Germans flocked there over the holidays. Michel said she sees the new openness between East and West Germany as a positive change, but the large influx of East Germans to West Germany could present some negative consequences. For example, 1990 is an election year for West Germany, and "many people say that East Germans are stealing money and jobs from West Germans, and they want these new citizens to leave According to Michel, West Germany will be investing a great deal of money in the East German economy. "The East's economy must be rebuilt for it has hit an all- time low Michel said that the money that must be invested in East Germany "is a small price to pay for unification "A lot of people are afraid of unification, especially our so-called enemies of the past. I don't think we'll be a military threat to those nations Michel said. However, "We will become an economic power, and this will affect all of Europe and ihe U.S. "It is so strange (the possibility of East and West Germany becoming one country), but I feel that these people belong together We can finally experience a feeling of unity By Shelly Thompson Page Kditor Duke University has successfully completed its first pancreas-kidney transplant. Luann Kay lor, 25, of Marion, N.C is feeling normal again, free from the restrictions of a body weakened by diabetes. "I had almost given up she said. "I was living day-to-day, and now, except for my vision limitations, I can have a normal life Kay lor was six years old when she was diagnosed with juvenile typc-1 diabetes, and she has been insulin-dependent since men. "I just never thought it would happen to me she said. Statistics indicate that at the end of 20 years, half of all people with type-1 diabetes, like Kaylor, will cither be on dialysis or will have had an amputauon. Because of the disease, Kaylor is legally blind and suffers from complete renal failure. But for the first lime in 19 years, she will not be taking daily insulin shots, nor will she perform peritoneal dialysis, a procedure that rids the body of toxic substances through a catheter in the abdomen. Kaylor previously repeated this procedure five times daily. According to Ben Vernon, a Duke University surgeon who operated on Kaylor, peritoneal dialysis is a special form of dialysis that patients are able to administer to themselves, without the aid of a medical center. "The fluid is instilled in a special catheter he said. "However, if she wanted to go to the mall, for example, she would have to plan her trip around her exchanges Vernon added that a catheter infection could threaten Kaylor's life. "She was the first combined (pancreas-kidney transplant) recipient al Duke University, and the third case in the state he said. "She came through remarkably well The first two transplants were performed at ECU. Kaylor's operation took nine hours. She said that she began to feel better after three days of recovery. "It's strange lo have diabetes all your life then -boom?you're healthy she said. "When you're handicapped and sick, you have to realize what you can't do, but people would be surprised at what you can do if given the opportunity According to Vernon, the pancreas transplant will help with Kaylor's renal failure and her blindness. The kidney transplant will replace her failed kidney. Service industry to create more jobs By Kristin Brooks Page Designer In the next 10 years, the most popular job market will become the "service industry According to a spokesman for the Craven County Employment Commission, "almost 80 percent of Americans will be working in the service industry by the year 2000 in one of the 20 million new jobs expected to be created in this industry. These jobs range from flipping hamburgers to consulting on taxes, from repairing computers to operating an X-ray machine. Some of the fastest growing jobs arc low paying with few chances for advancement, but on the flip side, other service careers such as real es- tate sales, health care services, leisure services and paralegal positions will continue to climb in popularity. "Our aging population is pushing health related careers into the spodight. By the year 2000, we will have over 100 thousand centurions Dr. M. A. Ward said. Besides needing more workers to fill existing jobs, the health care industry is creating new ones. Physician's assistants (PA's) positions are gaining popularity. Under a doctor's supervision, ihcy assist in interviewing patients, taking tests and medical histories, making some diagnoses, and in some stales, prescribing drugs. Statistics provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1988 indicate that "this field will grow by about 57 percent. PA's are in such a high demand that there are seven jobs for every applicant" One needs a two- or four- year degree in a physician's assistant program offered at some colleges, universities and medical centers. Starting pay is close to $27,000 a year, and experienced PA's may earn more than S30.000 a year. Another industry on the way up is travel. "One way to get in on the ground floor is by working as a travel agent Dennis Bnxks, owner of Travel Masters, said. Salaries are $16,000 to $20,000 a year for experienced agents, and with commissioned positions, it is possible to rake in $100,000 a year. A four-year degree or vocational training program may help in getting a job, but neither is required. With a projected grow ih rate of 104 percent by the year 2000, paralegal positions arc the fastest growing of the service occupations. Paralegals work for lawyers doing background research, analyzing information and writing reports. Many colleges offer four-year degree programs in legal assistant work, although a paralegal degree is not required. Paralegals employed by law firms can make more than $40,000 a year with overtime, depending on where they are located in the country. Experienced par- alegals with their own offices can make upw ards of $80,000 a year. I V Page 2 April 19. 1990 lifestyle Art is more than skill By Deanna Nevgloski Copj Editor An.

Bchrcns has done many logos lor music acts such as Pans Red. Armed Angel and. recently. Transformation Crusade, a Christian rap band from Virginia. As lor the future, Bchrcns has a special goal that he would like to ful- fill. "My ultimate goal is to touch someone deep inside, and I thank God for the talent to be able to do that Art major Michael Kaspcrck rep- resents the education side of the an department Kaspcrck, a sophomore, is interested in helping others realize w hat their potential is in the art world. "I wain to teach people what they're good at. " he said. Tor Art Education majors, art doesn't stop at graphic design and illustration. The program oilers a vast array of art such as ceramics, printing, drawing, paint- ing, sculpture and wood design. Of all the different types of art is the program, Kaspcrck said that paint- ever, the Art Education program also demands a lot of hard work and deadlines. Students in the program have to be well crafted in order to do all the different types of art work. "I really want to teach people who arc inter- ested in art he said. Kaspcrck said that ho would like to teach high school students. "By the lime they're teen- agers, they will know if they want to be an artist or not he added. Kas- pcrck also said that he would not mind moving out of slate 10 leach an. One day, he would like to be able to teach at Rose High School in Greenville. A graduate of the school, Kaspcrck will be doing his student teaching there in order to satisfy an education requirement. Like many other artists, Kas- pcrck uses his art as a means of communicating, expressing him- self and drawing emotions from other people. So whether you arc an artist in the education program or a com- mercial artist, it's easy to see that both programs demand a lot of hard work, determination and plenty of artistic abilities to succeed.

This musical contains such hits as "Everything's Coming Up Roses "You Gotta Get A Gimmick" and "1 et Me Lntertam You "The Cocktail Hour" is a new comedy b) A.R. Gurney. Many critics have called this his best play ever. The play concerns a playwright, John, who returns home seeking permission from his rich parents to produce a play he has written about them. John's sister is upset with the minor role her character was L'ien in the play. Their confrontation unravels during their ritualistic cocktail hour, as do many recriminations and revelations, resulting in a portrait of the family that is shockingly like the family in John's play. The summer theater is one of the lirsi theaters in the Southeast to present "Driving Miss Daisy a Pulitzer Prize winning play by Alfred Uhry. The play is about a relationship between an elderly Atlanta widow and the chauffeur her son forces her to take after she has an automobile accident. The play begins in 1948 and spans for 25 years. Hoke and Miss Daisy travel many miles together and realize they have more in common than they ever imagined. The final production of the season is 'Nunscnsc a long- running off-Broadway hit. This hilarious musical is centered around a fund-raising show by five remaining nuns from the Order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken. The sisters need enough cash to bury the last four of the 52 nuns from their convent who have died of botulism, contracted from the soup prepared by their chef. Critics have called "Nunsensc" "one of the feistiest show s around Gary Faircloth, general manager of the East Carolina Summer Theater program, attributes the success of the theater to being the only indoor professional theater in Eastern North Carolina. Faircloth said What makes this season different from others is that we are going to open with a large musical, Gypsy and that has never been done here before Faircloth feels the summer theater is a rewarding experience tor the students because they work with professionals. "They realize what it is like to work in a professional theater Faircloth said. "The students work with professionals from all over the country. learn where the jobs arc and receive tips on how to be successful What sets the summer theater program apart from the regular season productions is that there is less time to do more work The summer theater hires professionals and pays students to be in the plays and, instead of ranging over a nine- month period, all the plays arc presented in one month. Letterman receives criticism By Donna Hayes Copy Editor David Letterman seems to be receiving some undeserved criticism lately. naVanityFair article, writer James Wolcott described the star of NBCV'Late Night" as "the grinning pumpkin head on the graveyard shift Wolcott continued: "(Letterman is? not a happy pumpkin Fuming has melted his frost Considering the misguided bullets being fired at Ixtterman, who can blame hira for being a little cool toward his public' Those whoenjoy "Dave Bashing" obviously have never seen more than 15 minutes of "Late Night With David Letterman" because if they had, they would realize that Letterman isn't sufiposcd to be serious . Letterman told Rollins; Stone reporter Peter Kaplan: "We're not an interview show. We're a comedy show After eight years of antics, the critics still don't realize that lxtterman's show is the late-night adult equivalent of Saturday morning kiddie television. To understand Letterman. one must realize that he wants his viewers to believe he is crazy. This is his gimmick. Former head writer (and Lettcrman's ex-girlfriend) Merrill Markoc explained to Kaplan: "You and me know (Dave's) nuts. Dave and the audience are united in the knowledge that they're in on the joke Letterman, a former stand-up comedian, has fathered several comic insti- tutions during his lime at "Late Night Some of his best creations are "Stupid Pet Tricks "Stupid Human Tricks" and, most notable, "The Top Ten Letterman aims to entertain what Wolcott called "a marginal audience "Late Night" isn't prime time, and it isn't produced to be a prime-time show. Letterman conceded to Bob Costas, host of the late-night talk show "Later that "Late Night's" current format probably would not work even one hour earlier. The 12:30 a.m. slot is significant in timing the material lobe used on the show. "Late Night With David Letterman is "upbeat, deadpan (and) more than a little contemptuous (but) the voice of (this) generation is the voice of David Letterman concluded Esquire writer David Leavitt. Housewives probably don't watch Dave; bankers probably don't watch Dave, and biologists probably don't watch Dave, but college students and what Wolcott called the "boom- b(xm offspring" of the baby-boomers faithfully watch Letterman. Wolcott complained that Letterman whined about his cold for a week on air. In fact, on the first show after his complete recovery. Dave celebrated his good health with balloons and confetti. Why not? "This show is a little fortress. a little bastion from which I can whine about practically anything Letterman said to Rolling Stone. "We're just an irritant. We're like a gnat trying to sink the 'Love Boat Costas said that Lettcrman's "entire show is an ongoing joke about the medium (of television) Dave has no qualms about calling his bosses at General Electric (the owners of NBC) "pinheads Since Letterman is de- livcring the audience, the executives don't seem to mind because tlie know that we know Dave's "just kidding It's just that someone forgot 10 tell die critics. While Letterman sometimes appears irreverent toward his guests, his on camera manner should not be mistaken for the real David Letterman. Kaplan noted: "He's not exactly the David Letterman you sec on (television). There are similaritiesbut the Letterman on televisionis a high-octane version of the real-life Letterman (Dave is) playing a part Letterman explained: "In the beginning, I thought the closer to your actual self you were on the show, the belter it would be. But nowI realize you definitely have to be more man yourself. You have to pretend that you're big- ger. It's just show business, you know. We're just trying to sell Pintos here In his effort to make the sell, Dave occasionally runs into trouble "My big problem has been, and maybe always will be, when someone says something that I feel I can get a laugh with by adding a remark to. I'll do it 90 percent of the time And I know that can be annoyingbut something in the back of my mind always saysIf you don'tdo something that getsa laugh here, this is going to be dull Letterman admitted to Rolling Stone, "I'm not really suited for interviewing(but) I wasn't hired to be a great interviewer Letterman told Costas that he always wants his guests to look well on the show because his audience deserves that much. Dave told Kaplan: "I don't want to be perceived as a jck). ??? (I don't) just say, 'Line 'cm up. bring 'em in. and let me make fun of them David Lettcrman's favorite review reads, "The David Letterman show smells like garbage ? it stinks After eight years, the critics still don't understand him. Some adults still watch cartoons on Saturday morning, and some adults watch "Late Night With David Letterman WZMB: New manager is hired for fall semester 1990 Jeff Sklllen (Photo by John Tyson) By Staccy Lippincott StafT Writer Two major changes will stxin be taking place within ECU's campus radio station, WZMB 91.3. In May, WZMB will be moving to Mendcnhall Student Center, and a new general manager will be taking over. Jeff Skillen, jazz director at WZMB, has been appointed general manager. Recently named disc jockey of the month, Skillen has made plans to improve the station in its music, sports, news and business departments. Skillen started his radio career in high school at age 16 when he held the position of music director at WCSK, a progressive radio station, in Kingsport, Tenn. "I grew up listening to alternative music Skillen said. "In Kingsport, most kids didn't listen to the 'Top 40' music. "I was even a member of a punk rock band back then, but jazz and progressive music were still my real interests According to Skillen, he did not have lime to work at the radio station his first two years at ECU. "I did, however, listen to WZMB as soon as I got here In Junel989, he became a rotational disc jockey, playing the newest progressive music. His experience playing the trumpet in a jazz band in Greenville eventually led him to the position of jazz director. "The on-air sounds good he said, "but the business side of the station, as far as funding and bal- ancing our budget, needs help. "I want WZMB to be treated like a regular radio station, not just a college station. We have all of the same things to offer "Jeff has a good ear for music Trey Burley, WZMB's program director, said. "He's good with people and very diplomatic Formerly in Old Joyner Library, WZMB will move this summer to its new location. Planning for the move has been underway for more than a year. According to Skillen, moving will help the staff and station sound more professional. The station will also be receiving new furniture and production equipment. WZMB has received a lot of criticism since switching to an all- progressive format. "The purpose of WZMB is to give listeners something that they can't hear on any other channel Skillen said. "I like some classic rock, but it breaks our format Skillen currently plays in a beach music band and he is also trying his talents out as a newscaster at WZMB. He will become general manager at Jhe beginning of summer school, succeeding current general manager Andy Forbis.

"I highly recommend it (skydiving) said ECU graduate Jeff Bertagnolli, who made his first jump in March at the Franklin County Sport Parachute Center. "It was literally the ultimate high The parachute center, located in Louisburg, N.C is owned and operated by Paul Fayard. The center offers three types of jumps for the beginner. "The tandem parachute jump is extremely popular for everybody Fayard said. Through this particular program, the skydiving student is hooked to the instructor throughout the jump. The instructor and the student free fall from 10,500 feet, and the instructor opens the chute at 4,500 feet. During the free fall, the skydivers travel downward at 120 miles per hour. Because of the doubled weight of two jumpers, a drogue chute is released immediately after the divers leave the plane. Without the drogue, they would fall at 200 miles per hour, according to Fayard. The free fall lasts about 40 seconds, and the canopy ride takes four to six minutes. The tandem jump requires a 30- to 45-minute briefing and costs SI25 for the first jump. The Franklin County Sport Parachute Center offers a continual training program through which the second jump costs SI 10. and the third and subsequent jumps will cost the student SI00 each. After nine tandem jumps, the student is allowed to make the jump without the instructor's supervision. "Tandejjfjsijcat because you're vjgn somjeone who Lnows what 19. dPif srr?WKn? gde?-roitg Bertagnolli said. "1 didn't think I was going to do it until after I talked to Paul (the instructor). Then 1 was convinced that it was safe Bertagnolli said that he felt safe after he learned that two parachutes are used for all jumps. Federal regulations require that all skydivers have a main parachute and a reserve chute, according to Fayard. The reserve chute only has to be used in about one out of every 1,500 jumps. Another method of skydiving at the parachute center is the static line jump, which is an older, more traditional approach, according to Fayard. This program involves a five- to six-hour briefing which begins at 9 a.m. at the parachute center. Through this program, the student goes up in the airplane with an instructor but will make the jump alone from an altitude of 3,000 feet. The sky diver is hooked to a line attached to the inside of the plane. The chute opens immediately on its own. and the journey to the ground takes two and a half to three minutes. The cost for the static line jump is S14S per jump. The cost is reduced to $135 per person for a group of five to nine and S125 for 10 or more students. The parachute center has special rates for second and subsequent jumps. After 23 jumps, the skydiving student can make the jump without supervision. According to Fayard, the center has conducted more than 20,000 static line jumps in its 17 years of business. A third program offered by the parachute center is the accelerated free-fall method. It involves a five- lo six-hour briefing followed by a jump from 10,500 feel in which the student will be accompanied during the jump by two instructors, one on each side. The cost of the accelerated free- fall method is S275 per jump. The student can jump without supervision after nine jumps. "Everyone thinks about parachuting as having hard falls Fayard said. However, he assures the potential skydiver that the sport is safe and painless if the student follows instructions. After practicing the tandem method for six years and conducting more than 2,000 tandem jumps, the center has had no injuries. "Ninety-five percent (of the jumps) have a stand-up landing, and the rest trip over their own feet he said. The Franklin County Sport Parachute Center is open Wednesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. until dark. Appointments are required for weekday jumps and are suggested for weekend jumps. Photographer Beth Luman can be contracted on weekends to take photos and video tape jumps. Luman, a graduate student at Duke University, has been skydiving for five years and has completed almost 1,000 jumps. The center is located in Louisburg, N.C about an hour and a half drive from Greenville. Anyone interested in scheduling a jump can contact Fayard at 919-496-2224. AEROBIC MANIA!

(I By Carrie Armstrong Copy Editor Physical fitness has become one of the main concerns for many people, and one of the most popular ways Americans have found to stay fit is through aerobic exercise. Ruthie Ellison, an elementary school teacher, is an aerobics instructor at Greenville Aquatics and Fitness Center where she teaches several classes including toning, low-impact and high-impact aerobics. She defines aerobics as "a type of exercise that should encompass a part of what you do daily. It's a total cardiovascular workout for the body The typical workout begins with a six- to eight-minute warm- up, 15 minutes of toning and a two- minute stretch of the hamstrings, calves and biceps to get ready for the actual aerobics. Ellison said a rule of thumb is to always stretch what you strengthen, so instructors usually have their students stretch before the toning, before the aerobics and after the aerobics. The aerobics part of the class usually begins with eight to 10 minutes of low-impact warm-up. From there the class engages in 15 to 20 minutes of actual aerobics. Finally, the class ends with a short cool-down and stretching session to Biking has become a popular hobby By Kerry Nester Page Editor With the introduction of the Earthcruiser and the mountain bike, recreational biking has steadily become more and more popular among college students and people of all ages. Gerry Smith, owner of the Bicycle Post, said, "It is a fun bike; one can ride it over rougher terrain than the traditional 10-speed bike The Earthcruiser or mountain bike adds excitement to an everyday outing. "The bike can be ridden over bushes and through creeks, and jumped over ditches Smith said. "And it isn't that vulnerable to damage Smith said that another reason for the cruiser's increasing popularity is its use for a means of physical fitness. What better way to keep in shape than riding around town or through campus on the mountain bike? Recreational sports are a favorite pastime during the spring and summer months. Golf, tennis and jogging are just a few of the most popular. However, according to Smith, biking is quickly becoming the wave of the future in recreational sports. "Most of our customers tell me they want a bike to enjoy recreationally and physically Smith said. "They are also interested in starling a hobby, and biking is an excellent one Biking can be as expensive or inexpensive as you decide to make it. The mountain bikes start around $200 and can cost into the thousands. "For the first-time buyer, though, the cheaper bike is suitable Smith said. Another option one might want to consider is to buy the cheaper bike and add on bicycle parts. "The bike can be upgraded for about $200 each time by adding different components Smith said. Smith's remarks about biking coincide with many students' views. Senior Chris King said, "It's quicker than walking to class, and I don't have to worry about getting a parking ticket Dirk Nuttle, a freshman, said: "It's fun and faster than walking to class. Sometimes I like to get drunk and swerve around through campus Be careful, Dirk! lower the heart rate. Ellison said the difference between low-impact and high-impact aerobics is that low-impact offers less stress on the body. "Cardio- vascularly they are the same, except you have to work harder to keep your energy level high during a low- impact workout She said low- impact aerobics involves a lot of bigger movements instead of the short, jumping actions typically found in a high-impact class. Many of the aerobics classes offer the participants the chance to use huge, elastic rubber bands called dyna bands. "Dyna bands add extra tension Ellison said. "If you've been coming to toning month after month, you get to the point where you've outworked yourself. Dyna bands increase the stress on the muscle Ellison said that to stay in good shape, individuals should, at the minimum, work out three to four days a week. The aerobics class should be coupled with a toning class, and the days that aerobics is not done, a toning class should be combined with some sort of weight training. Aerobics is a lifelong adventure that Americans seem to adore, it js something that can be enjoyed By people of all ages with the added benefit of becoming and staying fit! Greenville golf courses offer summer leisure By Kerry Nester Page Editor Students all over the nation have taken up bicycling as a way of staying in shape and avoiding the hassle of campus parking. The Earthcruiser has especially gained popularity. (Photo by John Tyson) To fully enjoy the summer, everyone needs to break away from the nasties of work. One of the easiest ways is to enjoy a relaxing afternoon of golf. Golf is one of America's favorite past times. It is relatively inexpensive, and it can be enjoyed by beginners and professionals alike. Wesley Cobb, an assistant at Farmville Country Club, said, "People want to get out after the winter and enjoy the fresh air and good companionship No matter where a person's location, a golf course can be found not far away. In Greenville, three courses are within a 15-minute drive. Ayden Golf and Country Club has an 18-hole course with a green fee of $7. Brook Valley Country Club also has an 18-hole course with a green fee of $10. For ECU students, the Farmville Country Club offers a special rate of $5 for 18 holes and $3 for nine holes. Now the golfer knows where the best deals can be found, but what about the equipment? Golf clubs can be an expensive item to purchase. Not to worry though; with an ECU I.D. and activity card, students can rent clubs through the ECU department of intramural-recreational services free of charge. These months also provide an opportunity to play competitively. Each course has tournaments open to anyone who is interested. Farmville Country Club offers invitational tournaments throughout the summer. "We have super ball tournaments made up of two- and four-man teams Cobb said. In these tournaments, each player on the team hits from the same place and the best shot is taken. The tournaments are not worth thousands of dollars like the ones seen on television ? only a small trophy ? but with a few side bets between friends, a friendly tournament can get interesting. However, tournaments and gambling are not everyone's style. In fact, most people play just for the enjoyment of the game. Playing golf can keep anyone physically fit for a lifetime, since it can be played for as long as one lives.
