"he party, which was held � a park beside the Brody Medical Sciences Building, has been going on for more than 10 years It is a way for the unit to reunite the children with the doctors and nurses who cared tor them. According to Rhonda Mills, a nurse in the neonatal unit, there were more than 300children and parents at the graduation party. !he oldest child graduated from the unit in 1978, and the youngest several weeks ago. Refreshments were sen ed and the children were able to participate m face painting and see Sparkv the tire dvc. Vanessa Beamer, head nurse of the neonatal unit, saidIt is really neat to see the children come back ' She said they often don't recognize the children because they have grown up so much, but they recognize the parents. the neonatal untt ot the Children's Hospital of Eastern orth Carolina at Pitt County Memorial Hospital serves 29 coun- ties in North Carolina. Beamer said they are often short of beds. She said there is a state program called Firs! Step that educates the public, since North Carolina has the high- est infant mortality rate in the United States. There is a high incidence of teen-age pregnancy , especially in eastern Norm Carolina. Many of the young women do not receive prenatal care, which directly re- lates to some of the premature babies. Beamer said. "There is just something about a new born baby thai is struggling to live the nurses and doctors breathe life into it" Many babies in the neonatal unit weigh one pound and have been born three months eai � As she walks around the busy unit. Beamer explains the babies situations � how much they weigh, what their names are and when they were born. She said, "We think premature babies are the most beautiful babies in the world "It is very emotional Beamer said. The nurses become attached to the babies. She said the nurses often feel like surrogate mothers and become very close to the real mothers of the babies. It a baby dies the nurses often go to the funeral. Beamer said the neonatal field is basically a new one. "It is a very- ethical area to work in but we feel we are giving a life to a child who might otherwise not have one she said. "They didn't ask to be bom they didn't ask to be con- ceived. Often times the lungs of pre- mature babies are not fully devel- ped, so they are unable to get a full breath of air. Due to advanced technology, a machine pushes air into their lungs and keeps them inflated. Many oi the babies have to be kept warm by special lamps orincubator-Ukebedsbecausemey were born with less body fat than full term babies. The graduation party is proba- bty the most important one the children will ever attend, and the most rewarding one for their par- ents and nurses and doctors. ECU now has a new doctoral degree program in educational leadership for public school ad- ministrators and others in senior level administrative positions in the public schools. This makes ECU the fourth school out of the 16 constituent universities in the University ol North Carolina system to offer a doctoral degree not in the medical or science fields. Currently only UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State and UNC-Greensboro offer doctoral programs. UNC-Greensboro will also offer this particular doctoral program. According to the ECU News Bureau, the doctorial program in educational leadership will be ECU's first doctoral program �mi side the MD in the School of Medicine and the Ph.D in certain basic medical science disciplines, offered through the graduate school. The new program is seen as a step toward ECU becoming a re- search university, which will help in securing more funds for the university. According to Dr. H.C Hudg- ins, r. of the School oi Education, the emphasis of the program is on leadership. He said mat the pi gram will teach practical and lead- ership skills to public school administrators. Hudgins also said that the program will focus on problems commonly seen in this part of the state, such as reducing illiteracy arid dropout rates, dealing with problem students, responding to latchkey children and changing family lifestyles and developing civic leadership among young people. The program will also focus on creative ways of getting finan- cial support for schools, bringing about a better understanding for the need for education among parents, and the relationship be- tween good health and education. Hudgins said that approxi- mately 10 full-time students will enter the program this fall. The students w ill go through the pro- gram as a cohort and will collabo- rate together, he said. The pro- gram will be supplemented by seminars, workshops and collabo- rative field experiences. Hudgins said, "We believe we're ready � we believe we've done enough preparation I Nr harles R.

Minority leadership program set for fall By Kimley Eder Staff Writer ECU art student wins Best in Show Bv Colleen Kirkpatrick stjff Writer An ECU art graduate student won Best in Show at the Rocky Mount Art Gallery on May 13. Scott F.agleentered a painting, a mix media print and a sculpture His painting. The Savior won Best in Show and his sculpture. My Introduction to Misconcep- tion won second place. Fagle used his interest in Cherokee myths and symbols to begin the painting tor the Rocky Mount show He began bv paint- ing a fish as the focal point oi the picture and proceeded to create from there. He said that he also gets a lot of ideas from hisdreams, and he describes his style oi paint- ing as "figurative abstraction Eagle was pleased with his work that he entered in the Rocky Mount Art Gallery, "I entered these shows to get exposure, hoping that gallery owners and people that buy art will recommend my work to others he said. Eagle began taking art lessons at age five. He said he has had an interest in art all of his life. His mother enrolled him in an art class at a voung age because he was always drawing. Eagle said that his work was rejected manv times when he first started entering shows, but that eventually it became accepted and all the hard work paid off. He explained that art work could be rejected at one show and win first place at another. "The more shows you enter, the better galleries you get in Eagle said. Ray Elmore, one oi the show's judges and also a professor at ECU, said that one could view an art show much like a dog show � all of the entries are good, it is just a matter of what stands out and appeals to the eye. Elmore said that Eagle's work stood out. "It was the strongest piece there he said. "Scott had good use of imagination and tech- nical skills He went on to say that Eagle's work communicated well with the viewers. The gallery showed the art work for a week after the contest. There were approximately 500 entries out of which only 40 to 50 See Art, page 2 Beginning fall, 1990 ECU will choose 10 African-American stu- dents from the entering freshman class to participate in the Chancellor's Minority Student Leadership Intern Program. "The goal of the program is to provide first war minontv student leaders with the skills needed to take on active leadership roles said Dr. Larrv Smith, director of ECU'S Office of Minontv Student Affairs. Smith said that the pur- pose of the program is to give minontv students an idea of how- university organizations work so thev can learn how to work in them. Smith said that hopefully the skills the students learn while in the program will be used through- out their college career and after graduation. The students selected will receive a 1,000 stipend while they are in the program. The program is open to incoming freshmen minontv students only, and is not renewable. "It is hoped that after the first ear, students will qualify for leadership positions on cam- pus that offset the loss of the sti- pend, " Smith said. Students are assigned an in- ternship in a given area on cam- pus, depending on their interests. Supervisors in these departments will work with the Office of Mi- nontv Student Affairs to help evaluate the students' perform- ance. In addition, the students will keep journals, complete ques- tionnaires and attend seminars to See Minority, page 2 11 New 'candidacy status' given to ECU program ECU News Bureau ECU's marriage and family planning program has risen in status.

Lung association has new president Carolyn Fulghum, assistant vice chancellor for student life and director of housing at ECU, is the new president of the American Lung Association of North Carolina, the state's oldest voluntary health agency. Fulghum, a native oi Rock Ridge in Wilson County, was installed Saturday at the 1989-90 annual meeting of the association in Greens- boro. She succeeds Donald VV. Sink of Boone. She became interested in the work of the Lung Association as a volunteer stuffing envelopes with Christmas Seals and has been active for many years on the state and regional level. Fulghum has served in various volunteer capacities. Fulghum said she plans to focus on educational and support programs for children with respiratory disease and also concentrate on educating people about the services provided by the Lung Association. She said she would strive for more volunteer involvement. Student's research draws attention A student at the ECU School of Medicine whose research has drawn the attention of scientists at the National Institutes of Health has been selected to participate in the agency's scholars program. Laura Harris is among 36 students from medical schools nation- wide selected to be a member of the Class of 1990-91 in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute-National Institutes in an N1H laboratory of her choice as well as completing medical education requirements. Harris, formerly of Goldsboro and a second-year medical student at ECU, has been studying fatty particles in the blood known as low- density lipoproteins. Through her research, she has been able to distin- guishcharacteristicsof the fat particles that may contribute to increased risk of heart disease. More specifically, she has focused on LDLs in men with a body shape known as the "pot belly She has shown that LDLs in men who have pot bellies differ significantly from the ones in men who do not. Her research previously received recognition from the National Student Research Forum, the country's foremost competition for stu- dent biomedical research projects. By Renee Friend Health Program Assistant Where's the bone? That is the question that many women are asking their doctors. Osteoporo- sis strikes as many as 24 million Americans each year, particularly women. No one ever out grows the need forcalciumintheirdiet. From the time they are very young, chil- dren are taught the importance of drinking milk because it gives strong, healthy bones and teeth. Yet, calcium deficiency affects at least 87 percent of teen-age girls today. These teen-age girls are at a risk to bone mineral loss later in life which leads to osteoporosis. Ninty-nine percent of the cal- cium in the body is found in the bones and teeth. The other one percent circulates in the blood helping the body's organs. When the body does not get enough cal- cium, it starts taking the calcium from the bones which then makes them brittle and causes them to become weak. This weakening of the bones causes osteoporosis which causes low back pain, a hunched back, loss of height, increased risk of fractures to the bones and a loss of bone that supports the teeth. A survey by the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture found that 68 percent of A mertcans d id not meet the recommended dietary allow- ances for calcium. The latest RDA for adults is 800 milligrams of calcium per day. Someexperts suggest between 1,000 milligrams and 1,500 milli- grams per day to help reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Calcium can- not be produced by the body One's diet must supply the cal- cium it needs for a healthy body Calcium can be obtained in foods such as milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream, seafood, beans, broc- coli, collards, spinach, spaghetti, almonds and tofu. By consuming calcium-rich foods throughout one's life now, the risk of later bone disorders is reduced. Re- member the old saying. "Milk, it does a body good For more information on diet and osteoporosis come by the Student Health Service Resource Room located on the second floor of the Student Health Center.

"1 thought he embarrassed the peopieof North Carolina by show- ing no compassion for the AIDS victims in our society, for show- ing a lack of understanding as to what in fact has caused that prob- lem to exist, by setting people off against each other such as trying to divide homosexuals away, to make them something less than being human Gantt said after a brief appearance at the 4th Dis- trict Democratic Convention.

Congressional Quarterly. April, 1990 Gannett News Service Superior Court drug cases increase with new state laws RALEIGH (AP) � A state law making possession of cocaine a felony has increased the number of drug cases in Superior Courts, but it ha snot necessarily convicted more people. The law, which went into ef- fect Oct. 1,1989, makes possession of any amount of cocaine a felony. Contested cases are handled in Superior Court; the maximum penalty is five years in prison. Prior to the new law, posses- sion of less than 1 gram of cocaine was a misdemeanor and was handled in District Court. In April, a Wake County jury found a suspect innocent after police said they found one-tenth of a gram of cocaine in the person's apartment. "When you are in a drug case, you expect to see a quantity more than one-tenth of a gram of co- caine Donna Kee, one of the ju- rors, said in an interview last week. The law was meant primarily to deal more harshly with sellers of crack cocaine, which comes in a small, smokable form. But in prac- tice, the law is snaring users of powder cocaine. Anita Quigless, a Wake County assistant district attorney, recently tried a cocaine case in which the jury returned with a not-guilty verdict. She said thecase was "bothersome because in my mind they (jurors) were saying it's OK to have a little cocaine That case involved a nurse whose car had plowed into a vehicle parked on Interstate 40 in Raleigh. A second car had struck the nurse's car after it came to a halt in a traffic lane. Police later discovered a crushed glass vial of white powder in the woman's pants. It tested positive for cocaine. Ms. Quigless said the small amount of cocaine had hurt the case. "A jury needs something they can latch onto she said. The law has led to a dramatic increase in drug cases for Supe- rior Courts. Felony drug cases have in- creased by more than 37 percent in the past nine months, and many are cocaine possession cases, Fran- klin Freeman Jr director of the N.C Administrative Office of the Courts, told The News and Observer of Raleigh. In Wake County, where court officials are looking at an addi- tional 500 cases a year, District Attorney Colon Willoughby Jr. says that although he favors the , new law, it is impractical.

From the end of 1980 through the end of 1989, the number of people sent to state prisons rose by 58 percent, ranking North Carolina sixth in the nation, ac- cording to the state Department of Corrections. But during the same period, the state's prison population rose just 15.5 percent, according to a report issued Sunday from the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Where did all the inmates go? Back onto the streets, due to a lack of space in the state's prisons and a law that sets a ceiling on the prison population, says Correc- tion Secretary Aaron Johnson. "If nothing else, these new figures from the Bureau of Justice Statistics show us that North Caro- lina desperately needs to expand its prison capacity Johnson said. "The public demands more from state government than revolving- door justice N ationwide, the prison popu- lation grew by an average of 113.7 percent during the 1980s. Califor- nia, with a 262.5 percent increase, led the nation in percentage of prison population growth in the period.

The District of Columbia recorded 392 admissions per 100,000, the highest rate in the nation.

(AP) � The state Division of Environmental Management has decided to take a second look at a developer's proposal to dump salt water into the freshwater Currituck Sound after initially recommending ap- proval. "It's still up in the air said Dale Overcash of the division's water quality section after the proposal was met with opposi- tion from the state Wildlife Re- sources Commission, the Curri- tuck County commissioners and residents who spoke at a stormy public hearing last month. The 120-square-mile soundin northeastern North Carolina has lured duck hunters and bass fish- ermen to Currituck County for decades. Fishermen alone add about $1 million to the local econ- omy each year. The News and Observer of Raleigh reported. The developers of Ocean Hill, an upscale vacation community north of Corolla on the the Outer Banks, have applied for a state permit to dump concentrated brine from a water purification plant into the sound's mildly brackish waters. They have also filed an appli- cation for a more expensive op- tion: discharging the brine into the Atlantic Ocean. James "Jimbo" Ward, one of the five Ocean Hill partners, said he didn't think the brine would harm the sound. "The county is coming from a position of almost no research he said, adding that some county officials used the issue as a cam- paign issue during the May pri- mary election. "The developer is the easiest person to go after But Yates Barber of Elizabeth City, a wildlife biologist and ad- viser to the Albemarle Pamlico Estuarine Study, said salinity could destroy aquatic plants, key elements to the life in the sound. "It is a very shallow sound with a lot of sandy bottom he saidTlantsareimportantinhelp- ing keep water clear, and clear water helps plants and plankton to grow. Plants are valuable food to waterfowl, otherbirdsand fish Barber said the system was thrown out of balance between 1985 and 1988, when drooght raised the salinity of the sound and killed many of the plants. The submerged aquatic plants and black bass were also dam- aged when the city of Virginia Beach, Va pumped ocean water into Back Bay at the north end of the sound, he said. That pumping has since been halted. The Division of Environ- mental Management will have to decide on the sound-side permit by July, Overcash said. The ocean discharge applicabon is still un- der consideration. Flash flood warnings posted after increased water damage HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) � Flash flood warnings were posted in Hot Springs, Ark Monday af- ter a 6-foot wall of water caved in shop windows, carried off bridges and swept up cars and people. Residents had to be rescued from their roofs after their homes were swamped by nearly 13 inches of rain in the 24 hours ending Sunday morning. Several people rescued from swamped cars were taken to hospitals with minor in- juries. "A wall of water just came in and everything was just floating around said Bill Goodwin, who owns a souvenir store in the resort city. "Even the fixtures � they just turned over and floated Goodwin said he watched a floatingcompact car crash through a window.

It seemsKkeeveryoneon campus is complaining about the university's divi- sion to turn ilf the air conditioning on Fridays to reduce energy cost. Bui isn't living without the lux- ury of air conditioning worth protecting our educa- tional program? The fact of the matter is that the state oi North Carolina put itself in a bind by trying to make up a 1989-90 budget shortfall of over five billion dollars in three months. And what better place to make cuts than the UNC school system? Now, the cuts are not affecting E V alone; other schools in the UNC system are taking more drastic approaches to trim the cost of operations. In an article published in the Greensboro Hews and Rec- er.ilast week. I'NC-C.reensboro wascutting33teach- ing positions, while North Carolina A&T State Uni- versity bad planned to prune 17. And if the state's budget deficit carries into the 1990-91 fiscal year (which appears to be the case), the university may be forced to eliminate teaching positions. Concern has also arisen about the cuts' pos- sible impacts on the university's computer systems. While the vast majority of computers on campus will be shut down after the 1130 deadline, others will be forced to remain on and experience the he.it, known to wreak havocon their sensitive internal parts. But decisions have to be made, and priorities ordered. If the state had better planned for the 1989-90 budget, the university systems would not be suffer- ing from these cutbacks. And since it is a North Carolina law that our budget must be balanced gong into the next fiscal year, it might be interesting to see what our politicians in Raleigh plan to do. But above all, let's hope that the academic program of ECU will not suffer too greatly from the state's foul-up x HOT rvRSvn of a wi&HtK education Washington Report AMim That met AHtive. t America needs to get active Is Bush back in the hot seat? By Nathaniel Mead Editorial Columnist In the Spring of 1988, Pro-Ira- nian Shnte Moslem kidnappers released a videotape of American journalist Terry Anderson, the longest-held foreign hostage in Lebanon, reading a message that accused the IS government of preventing his release. It was Anderson's fourth year in captiv- ity. His nearlv three-minute mes- sage sounded heartfelt and coher- ent enough, at least, for the Asso- ciated Press to share its contents. After telling friends and fam- ily of his appreciation for their efforts, Anderson said provoca- tively, "I have been very close to being released several times over the past three vears, but each time it seems that the U.S. government usesits influence to stopany agree- ment, and I don't understand this. 1 am not asking President Re- agan to deal with terrorists, al- though Mr. George Bush did so in the Iran-Contra affair and TWA hijacking Our problem as hos- tages could have been solved a long time ago without such com- plications as arms deals Anderson did not elaborate on the accusation of Bush's ties to Irangate;but for many Americans, including myself, it came as no surprise. The truth of Iranamok has been exposed in nearly a dozen books, including one by a biparti- san team of senators and others by reputable law firms. If the Senate and judiciary system ever regains the opportunity and backbone to put Bush on the stand, the history books will show that this Prez has probably done more to undermine the integrity of the Constitution than any other before him. The truth, in case you haven't heard by now, boils down to this: When Congress cut off CIA Contra aid in 1984, Lt. Col. Oliver North. under the direction of Reagan, Bush, Meese, and Casey, reached out to a "secret team" to illegally recommence funding and resup- plving the Contras. Sccord and North orchestated the arms sales to Iran, selling U.S. weapons at many times their original cost and illegally depositing the extra prof- its into foreign bank accounts. Some of this money was used to illegally support the Contras in their war on the Sandinistas. Memos show that Bush was noti- fied of the Iran arms-for-hostages deal seventeen times. Despite overwhelming evi- dence to the contrary, including many documents submitted to the Tower commission, Bush has re- peatedly denied that he wasaware of thearms-for-hostages exchange. And when the Iran-Contra trial was over, Bush reacted vehemently to reporters' questions about a quid pro quo agreement that led to the construction of Contra bases and resupping of airstrips in Hondu- ras. "There was no quid pro quo he said. "There has been needless, mindless speculation about my word of honor But as discussed in the October 16,1989 New Yorker and elsewhere, there was a quid pro quo agreement. Indeed, the evi- dence suggests that Bush person- ally delivered its conditions to President Cordova of Honduras. The show's not over yet, however. Thanks to the fact that OUie North neglected to burn his personal notebooks-�evidently it took all his energy to shred the other stuff Bush is now back in the hotseat. Excerpts from copies of North's notebooks have re- newed questions about whether then Vice-President Bush was more deeply involved in assist- ing the Nicaraguan Contra rebels than he has acknowledged. If there is evidence that Bush was directly involved, or that the dia- ries were edited or blacked out, the House intelligence or judici- ary committees may conduct another investigation, according to Rep. Lee Hamilton, who led the Iran-Contra inquiry. Whatever the outcome. Bush's ongoing denial and asser- tions that he didn't know about the Iran-Contra mess are prepos- terous. Moreover, was it "mind- less" (using Bush's term) to in- vestigate the possibility of a Presi- dential candidate subverting the will of the Constitution, the Con- gress, and the American people? And given Bush's vacuous rheto- ric on tax and environmental is- sues, is his word of honor really worth anything at all? Not if you're educated enough to know what the word means. But per- haps an even more poignant question is why the Tower com- mission let Bush off the hook in the first place. By Nathaniel Mead Editorial Columnist On June 17, 1982, I joined a million souls in New York City's Central Park to protest against nuclear weaponry and racist geno- cide. By that time many Ameri- cans were getting downright in- dignant about the Reagan administration's 'voodoo arms control We could not stand by quietlv as the old actor slashed rapid growth oi the military sec- tor, even as the nation had enough nukes to destroy the world forty times over, seemed like sheer lunacy. Bv all appearances, the rally was a great success. People ar- rived in cars, trains, and buses from all over the U.S. to make themselves heard. Expecting trouble. New York's finest were out in full regalia that day. But instead of violence, hundreds of policemen were adorned with flowers. We sang and reveled in the music of lames Taylor. Joni Mitchell, and other tine musicians. There was an infectious camara- derie reminiscent of the early- marches forcivilnghtsand against the Vietnam War. (Actually, I'm too voung to have known the spirit of those days, except vicariously.) Though Reagan failed to re- spond in any constructive man- ner, the sheer sie of the Central Park protest suggested that the "me generation" was not a lost cause. In mv euphoric naivete, I believed that major changes were in order for the nation and that world peace was no longer a mere pipedream. Even when Reagan later publicly condemned the nuclear freeze movement almost in the same breath denouncing his Evil Empire�1 remember think- ing that he would soon go the way of Nixon, ousted from office with nary a whimper. Of course, these were all fool- ish notions, especially my imagi- nary comparisons with the late '60s, when the country was caught in a climate of intense hostility and division over U.S. foreign policv in Vietnam. Like many students today, I had little aware- ness of the emotionally charged atmosphere of divided families and polarized nation during Nixon's reign. I was only vaguely familiar with the bitter repression mounted by the U.S. government against the popular anti-war movement, which reached its zenith in 1970 with the Kent State student killings. But on that day in Central Park r hV r about military escalation, and we wanted the government to do something about it. It seemed enough that so many people would turn out for an event. On the other hand, this largest rally of the decade seemed to accomplish little, roday I wonder if such events may not even feed into a collective apathy by giving peopie little more than an emotional re- lease, a way to break the cycle of frustration over an incompetent government. But the prevailing apathy cannot last much longer, for our society has moved toward increas- ing chaos. Each year the gap be- tween rich and poor grows ever wider. Drugs and crime are more rampant than ever. Our social programs and school systems are still pitifully regressive. Our mili- tary still supports foreign policies based on stealth and treachery in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama and elsewhere. Clearly the Reagan era isn' t over vet, and many people are still readingGeorge Bush's lips even as he cuts fat business deals with China and tacitly exonerates Deng for mass murder. Why hasn't Bush's Re- aganesque administration aroused more dissent and demon- strations by younger people? Why do surveys show him with such a high public approval rating? Evi- dently Reagan's feel-good ap- proach ("don't worry, be happy") and glossy promises of material prosperity have sunk deep into the collective unconscious of America. Also, many of us are being overtaken by a sense oi dis- illusionment, a desire to "tuneout" from the world�and make our- selves powerless. Perhaps, too, we're conditioned into passivity by reading magazines and watch- ing TV instead of actually doing anything. The pervasive pessimism in our culture is particularly under- standable when we consider the bewildering assault of social and environmental problems we must trv to sort out And many of our technologies, while representing -r processors, digital watches, etc.) have become the means through which those in power manipulate change in our society. Computers for example, are allowing greater management control over the work force�a level of control that could getoutof hand. Weare going to have to start setting moral codes for computer usage�and not simplv focusingon those renegade hackers. Some technologies offer pat- terns of control that should be outright rejected. Take nuclear power, which is intractably struc- tured around the idea of the au- thoritarian state. The potentials hazardsof radioactivity and waste make strict security measures a necessity around nuclear power plants. Or take the recent innova- tions in "artificial intelligence which isheavily grounded in mili- tary research and development This would allow any repressive governnment to monitor tele- phone lines for suspicious con- versations. Opposition is the onlv sane public responsein thesecases. Perhaps we put too much faith in the power of education and not enough in the power of change itself. Of course, all action should be guided bv clear vision and sound reasoning, but vision is worthless without action. The moral and political questions we continually raise will be nothing other than vainglory reflections if we fail to translate them into suc- cessful action. It's going to take a lot more than letter-writing cam- paigns to end the "Age of Greed" and make this world a better place to live. To the Editor Student responds to 'attack' To the editor. This letter is i n response to the unsolicited, and unsigned attack against the students who reside in Scott Residence Hall. In an article published in the Attitudes (Bad Attitudes) section of The East Carolinian on Tuesday, April 24, 1990, an anonymous writer exposed several of Scott's residents as being bullish for wanting to get what they had paid for; air-conditioned rooms. The writer of the article was condemning the residents for demanding either that the air- conditioning system be turned on or a refund of the money ($80 extra per person) paid for an air-condi- tioned room be given. 1 don't blame the students who felt this way one bit. I live in Scott, and I think that students should not have things "stolen" from them that they have paid for. Note that there was never any mention of a cut-back in the air-conditioning in our housing contracts. We were informed of this practice only after we had paid the extra money for the air condi- tioned rooms. I feel that this is a pretty under-handed trick on the part of ECU officials. I wonder how the anonymous writer of the article would feel if he was cheated by someone in some situation such as this. I also wonder if this writer works for the housing department. If so, it figures since the housing department, as well as many other departments on this campus, throw red tape all over you as soon as you walk into the front door. If the writer of this article ever has any further opinions, I hope he leams how to sign his name to them. Thank you! Ronald Mercer Freshman Chemistry Speeder nearly hits pedestrian To the editor: It seems that every single day I walk through campus, some- one comes by in a car that is clearly going faster than the posted 15 m.p.h. speed limit. As I was walking across the road in front of the General Class- room Building last week, some- one came speeding up, and if it weren't for his breaks, almost hit me. Now I know that Public Safety cannot always be there when someone breaks the law, but if something is not done soon, someone is going to get hurt.

"They ought to be prosecuted )ust like any other child would be said Durham District Court ludge William Manson. "Not holding them responsible is the worst thing you can do. They're not stupid. Some are very smart. They get the idea that, 'I'm a Wil- lie M and therefore 1 can do any- thing I want Debate heated up in legal circles after the Durham Morning Herald revealed last week that Mohammed Jomal Thompson, who is awaiting trial in the slaying and robbery of a Roxboro woman, was in a Willie M group home shortly before the crimes were committed. Thompson is charged in the death of Sherri Lynn King, who was killed by a shotgun blast while working as a clerk at a Roxboro convenience store in February. Butaccordingtoa 1985 memo- randum outlining the program's philosophy, prosecution of crimi- nal charges filed against program participants should be avoided. And, the memo says, every effort should be made to keep Willie M children out of training schools � the modern name for what used to be known as reformatories. Laura Winslow, chief of Wil- lie M programs in Raleigh, said the basic tenets of the memo re- main in effect. The state spends $33 million a year on the program. As of March 30, there were 1,066 youths classi- fied as "Willie M" children. Youths through age 18 can be certified as Willie M as a result of assaultive, violent behavior. Ex- tensive psychological testing is done before certification. After certification, intensive individual and group therapy is offered in an attempt to alter the children's behavior. Some Willie M children live with their parents during treat- ment while others live in group homes. While Manson and other judges agree that treatment is essential for Willie M children, they also feel the children must be held accountable for their actions. "The Willie M certification is a pass to treatment Manson said. "It'snot to be mean to other people and hurt them. You can't tell me not to hold them responsible Durham's Chief District judge, Kenneth C. Titus, agreed. The Willie M certification "doesn't mean you insulate chil- dren from the consequences of their actions. You shouldn't turn the other way and ignore these actions Titus said. "For anyone to believe you're not responsible for your actions is a failure of our system Tire dumps have become dangerous PRINCETON, N.C. (AP) � Waste management officials call them "nuisance cites but tire dumps are more than an aggrava- tion thev'redangerous.saystatc and local authorities. Six to nine million tires are taken off cars in North Carolina every year, officials estimate. In a measure to find some- thing to do with them, state legis- lators last year included a section on tire disposal in a law designed to Improve the management of solid waste in general. It's the first regulation in the state to deal specifically with old tires since the invention of the automobile. There are tire dumps across the state, said Dee Eggers of the Solid Waste Management section of the state Division of Environ- mental Management. "I think the division knows about more nuisance sites than it could possibly ever handle, and I also think there are more sites that we don't even know about she said. In trying to decide how to handle the problem, proposed regulations for cleaning up dump sites are being considered by the division at a public hearing Mon- day at 9 a.m. in Raleigh. Under the regulations, which would go into effect July 1, dumps would have to be cleaned up within 90 davs of the time they were declared a nuisance. The owner of the dump would be li- able for cleanup costs, and the division could levy a $50-a-tire fine for failure to clean up a dump. Tires also present a problem for counties. Under a law that went into effect March 1, counties have been authorized to charge a han- dling fee to anyone bringing tires to them for disposal. In large numbers, tires can become a breeding ground for mosquitoesand vermin. If the pile ca tches f i re, noxious chemicals are sent into the air and onto the ground. And when taken to a landfill, where they take up a lot of space, they refuse to stay buried because they trap air and work their way back to the top. On March 1, it became illegal to bury whole tires in a sanitary landfill. Counties were told they would have to find an alternative method of disposing of the tires. The new law has been a boon to some businesses. Since the law went into effect. the shredding machine at U.S. Tire Disposal in Concord has been running 10 to 12 hours a day, business manager David W. Bailey told TheRaleigh Newsand Observer. On its 97 acres in Cabarrus County, U.S. Tircoperatestheonly licensed tire landfill � called a monofill � in the state. There workers bury the 6,000 to 10,000 used tires chewed up daily. Most of the tires come from the 34 counties that contract with thecompany, which parksits trac- tor-trailers at their landfills and collects the castoffs for 50 cents each, compared to the $7.50 a tire some companies charge in the Northeast. After the tires are run through the shredder, the four- by-four-inch pieces are buried in cells that could be easily re-opened later for recycling. g PORTS PAD Family Billiards & Sports Bar Now Introducing - � Religious convention draws over 600 CHARLOTTE, N.C.

It's really sort of sad because we need to keep the pressure on the drug user Defense lawyers and some prosecutors complain that first- time offenders, under the new law, do not have the option to plea bargain to misdemeanor posses- sion and thereby avoid a perma- nent felony record. Eugene Dunn Jr a Raleigh service station owner, agrees. He is one person who was convicted for possession of a small amount of cocaine. On Oct. 27, Raleigh detectives showed up at his Texaco station bearing a search warrai.t. An informant had told them that one of Dunn's employees, a former convict, had been selling cocaine and that the drugs could be found hidden throughout the shop. But thedetec rives foundonly three-tenths of a gram of cocaine hidden inside a pack of rolling papers tucked under the station's cash register. Dunn, who was charged with possession of cocaine as owner of the shop, testified at his trial that he knew nothing about it. In an interview last week, he said he had hoped to run for the Raleigh City Council one day, but now, as a felon, he can't even vote. "I've been a victim of the sys- tem he said. "It's costing me customers, my name is gone, and everything I've worked hard for is gone Dunn received a three-year suspended sentence, probation for five years and a $1,000 fine, and he must submit to warrantless searches and urine tests for the duration of his probation. His sentence is typical of those others have received. Dunn's only previous viola- tions were several traffic offenses. MikeDodd,a Raleigh defense attorney, said the law should provide first-time offenders the chance to pay for their crimes without being branded felons. "Our system has always been tailored to sentence people based on what they've done and a vari- ety of factors including their edu- cation, background and experi- ence he said. "This just simply removes all of that arbitrarily and says these thingsare of no value. It makes no sense District attorneys have the option of prosecuting cocaine possession as a felon or reducing it to a misdemeanor charge, such as possession of drug parapher- nalia.

Q. 1 low did you first become involved with the Attic? A. 1 was in the army, sta- tioned in Vietnam in 1969. I re- ceived an "early out" by going back to school. 1 already had a marketing degree trom Gannon University in Fne, Pa. So, I decided tocomc to ECU to obtain a second degree in commercial art After a few se- mesters they tripled the tuition for out of state students. Being from Endicott NY. put me in a bad financial situation. I couldn't work while on the G.I. bill. I was told if 1 worked for six months I could become a N.C. resident. I heard about a nightclub called the Id that went out of busi- ness in the summer of 1971. Two weeks later, tearing out and re- building was in full swing and the Attic opened its doors for busi- ness on Sept. 7, 1971. Q. To what do von attribute the long time success of the Attic? A. There are a number of reasons, but two stand out. First: manv people, including some in the industry, perceive the night- club business to be mostlv fun and games; in reality its mostly hard work and 14 hour days. The second reason is variety in entertainment. From ij one. Tom Haines. Attic coordinator for 18 years is expanding his career to work with the 68 Comedy Zones in the southeastern United States the Attic has offered the most diverse entertainment line up in the state. The Palomino Club in Charlotte is the only other club in N .C. currently offering as diverse an entertainment menu. In fact I'm willing to bet there's not an- other club in the south that has offered Rock 'n' Roll (our main- stay), Beach, Heavy Metal, Blue Grass, Punk, Oldies, Christian, Reggae, Rhythm n Blues, Speed Metal, azz,Glitter Rock, Pop, New Wave, Folk, CountrySouthern Rock and of course Comedy. Q. What is the most memo- rable night in the past 18 years? A. That's an easy question to answer. On Jan. 27, 1981 The Pointer Sisters performed in con- cert for an NBC music seriescalled (The Blue Jean Networks When they performed they had the 2 song on Billboard's charts, and when the show aired in Septem- ber of 1981 they had another 2 hit. The shov. was awesome and it wasaired worldwideover the next year. In fact, it was aired again last year on the A&E network. Q. What night would you most like to forget � not counting the night in 184 when the Attic burned down?(note: The Attic was located at 209 E. 5th Street from September 1971 to January 1976. Then it moved to 103 E. 4th Street until the fire in September of 184 when it moved Kick into its origi- nal location.) A. Not counting the fire, I'd have to say any night with a no show.

They want whatever it was here that flamed the son of an Oak Park, III doctor into the burning bright writer who crystalized the ripple of a trout stream or the seduction of an Indian girl. "They want to know why it influenced Hemingway says Bill Ohle, 79, a retired ad man from Chicago whose grandfather con- structed many of the buildings around Horton Bay. Ohle lives down the lane from the store, in his father's hilltop cabin overlooking Lake Char- levoix. There'sa la nd sea pe painted bv Hemingway's mother hanging over the fireplace. The pilgrims want something larger than life, some sign of the emerging greatness, Ohle says. What they find are stories about a boy nobody much noticed. Ohle was a scrawny-legged kid while teen-age Ernest Hem- ingway freeloaded chicken din- ners at Liz Dilworth's boarding house across the street and cast for trout on the bav at the bottom of the hill. He remembers Ernest fishing, Ernest courting cousin Marjorie Bump, 22-year-old Emest bring- ing his St. Louis fiancee Hadley Richardson to Horton Bay to get married in 1921 in a church since torn down. He remembers Ernest and his bride leaving a few weeks later and never coming back. "Half a dozen of his better short stories are about this here See Hemingway, page 8 By Stuart Oliphant Staff Writer Emptying the garbage has never been one of mv favorite chores. The task, however, is quite simple: Gather all disposable items, put them in a sack and toss it into the closest dumpster. You never reallv stop to think what other people consider to be gar- bage, until you reach your neigh- borhood refuse bin. Finally, I get motivated. Heft- ing my kitchen trash container, while balancing two paper sacks filled tocapacitvon thecontainers lid, I ease the front door open and make my way across the parking lot. Upon reaching the dumpster, I stand and gaze into its depths, noticing the debris of my fellow residents. Coat hangers, clothing, stuffed animals, even old plastic trash containers inhabit the bowels of the dumpster. Enthralled by the rubbish of my neighbors, I ponder a salvage mission. I guess it was the irony of seeing a trash con- tainer in a dumpster that made me realize that people don't really think about what they throwawav. It made me want to retrieve my contribution to the realm of trash, investigate the contents, and try to determine if I am as guilty as mv neighbors. Eventually, I become bored with poking through mounds of residue and start on my journey back to the apartment. I catch an inquisitive glance from a neigh- bor, cunousas to mv actions at the local trash bin. Fie probably thinks, "What is this idiot up to, poking through our garbage, what nerve" Finally my task is complete. The garbage is emptied, and all that's left to do is relax on the couch and vegitate. 1 turn on the tube, flip through thechannelsand decide on watching a network news documentary. "Whoah!

An ideal view: Extensive research shows joy resembles soda-pop By Caroline Cusick Features Editor I sometimes think that when I was young � no, when I was younger, I enjoyed life more than I do now. But when I am well rested (or sufficiently rested), I realize that the opposite isequallv or more true. I have a lot of fun in life. De- spite stereotypes that I am often placet! under regarding my radi- cal faith, I love to have fun. Joy is mv strength. Some days, silent, peaceful joy is my only strength (especially after a night of produc- tion for this Magnificent Fabulous Journalistic Masterpiece of a Newspaper). Thinking back to my child- hood days I have a hard time remembering tremendous stress. Yeah, my little brother got on my nerves some days. He followed me from place to place, repeated what I said and mimicked my every move. That's cute, but it gets old fast. My mom made me clean my room, pick up my toys, and make my bed. She even made me wash dishes and put away the grocer- ies. Quite a tyrant wasn't she. At the time, I told her, "Mommy, you make me work SO hard We both laugh pretty hard over that complaint when we compare it to how much I work in college. Laughter makes things seem easier. Laughter works as a great medicine, and it has no side effects. My dad � well, he was dad. Though he was firm and respon- sible for much of the discipline in my family, he always had a corny joke or a silly face to make me laugh. Those expressions always seemed tremendously hysterical when made in grocery stores � probably because of the frustra- tion our roaring laughter brought my mother. Fortunately, she's a good sport. There is a lot in my life that's fortunate. I realize that. From an outside look, my surroundings were sufficient for producing the joy of childhood. My lifestyle helped then, as it does now. I've never had to work beyond my strength. The late nights I've spent at East Carolin- ian have brought me close to col- lapse many times. Nevertheless, I'm alive and well. I have never worried about having clothes to wear or food to eat. I've never lacked these neces- sities. I've always had a warm place to live. I have lived in safety. Ha vi ng t hese necessi tics read - ily available have reduced the anxiety in my life. But in them- selves, they have never produced joy in my heart. Joy can not be produced within the human body. It must be placed there from an outside force. The source of my childhood Kry runs deeper than my circum- stance or situation. The joy of the Lord Jesus is the source of my joy. It flows like an unstoppable, rag- ing river that saturates everything in its path. The artesian well from which that joy springs will never nmdry. That's pretty complicated isn't it? No. It's not. Joy is a simple substance. Babies understand it. You can see it on their faces. The innocent smiles reflecting the purity in their hearts is that same joy. Joy is not meant to be compli- cated. Complicating joy is like wa- tering down soda-pop. It just be- comes yuckie. You want to spit it out; swallowing is torture and is a last resort. For joy to remain joy, it must be appreciated and experi- enced in it's original form and simplicity. To over-analyze, ex- plain or water down diminishes its flavor. How does the joy in your life taste? Is it sweet? Or does it have little flavor' Does your joy tickle your heart like soda-pop tickles your tongue? Or does it quench your thirst and earn- you from day to day' Now ask yourself one more question. Where does your joy come from? How does it get in- side you? And how strong is its current? If your joy isn't full and over- whelming, you need to go to the mouth of the river (if you have a river of joy) and talk to the Man in charge of the floodgates.

That's right, I'm talking about Gardners of Soule, an original rock outfit that has some pretty impressive music, along with an all-star line up. The band features guitarists Michael Gardner (forrnerly of PKM) and Audlev Freed (formerly ot The Point), drummer Kenny Soule (formerly of Nan tucket), Robert Reams (formerly of Sidewinder) and vocalist Phillip Gardner. Gardners of Soule made their live debut at the Attic a couple weeks ago. You can catch them at The Brewerv in Raleigh on June 8.

Kurupsure, a thrash quartet from Goldsboro, has been rattling a lew heads at the .Attic lately It seems a couple weeks ago the band tilled in tor Centerfold, a commercial metal band, after they canceled a show at the downtown club. Obviously, the Centerfold audience wasn't aware of the cancellation and got more than a despot' thrash in their faces.

Luckily, there were relatively few for us. Q. What has been the biggest struggle for the Attic? A. The struggle to make a particular date work. Everything needs to click. Attendance can be affected by the weather, the econ- omy, the competitors, the day of the week, changes in the bands line-up, etc. etc. etc. You have to adjust to long term things like changes in the drinking age, but you also need to be concerned about the immediate, like pre- announced road blockson weather reports calling for ice or snow. I've lost trackof how many times we've said the expression, "Boy if it's not one thing it's another Q. What has been the most rewarding aspect of running the Attic for the past 1812 years? A. That's another easy one to answer. It's an incredible feeling to know that we've been respon- sible for hundreds of thousands of people'sgood times. We'vealmost hit the two million marks in atten- dance. Q. What has been the most frustrating aspect? A. It has been very frustrat- ing being labeled a heavy metal clubby people. All they have todo is read the Attic calendar and look for their favorite kind of music. It's also frustrating to talk to so many people who haven't come because they are not members. Anyone with $1 to $3 (sometimes free) and forty five seconds of free time can be a member. Q. What are some concerts that almost happened, but didn't. A. Here's eight almost with eight different reasons for not happening. Bruce Springsteen because nobody knew who he was and I couldn't afford to take a chance on a $3 cover charge. The Talking Heads because their tour was changed at the last minute. Heart because we couldn't con- firm our backers to produce our follow-up video of the Pointer Sisters. Richard Marx because 1 was too stupid to see his potential. The Pretenders because routing never clicked into place. The Band because one of the members died two days before the concert. Huey Lewis because I wasout bid on the second attempt after his agent postponed our first date and Pink Floyd because I woke up in the middle of the night and discov- ered 1 was dreaming. Q. What effect did the ad- vent of the Comedy Zone have on the Attic? A. It had a two-fold broaden- ing effect. First, it broadened the entertainment base on the Attics schedule of events. Secondly, it broadened the customer base. Each different type of music brings out a defined customer profile. But comedy has no de- fined boundaries because every- one likes to laugh. Q� Name some of the high- lights of the past 18 years? A. I'll keep it short with the first few that come to mind � the Attics hosting of the Rene Pierre Football Championshipduring the late '70s with contestants coming in from fivestates,beingpresented with a gold album by Harvey Dalton Arnold of the Outlaws in 1980, Howard Hessman hosting the Miss Attic Contest in 1982, and the Pointer Sisters concert for NBC in 1981. Q. What are you going to miss most about the Attic? A. The people. My managers and employees who gave me very littlegriefbuttonsof good memo- ries and dedicated service. I'd love to mentionabouta hundred names but instead I'd just like to make a collective public thank you. I'll also miss all the customers and all the thousandsof talented perform- ers that I've had the privilege of working with over the past two decades. Earth Day Continued from page 6 it came to me � advertising. With the increasing concern for the environment, a new mar- ket has appeared. In order for the manufacturer to reach this market they created the concept of biode- gradable plastic, jacking up the price in the process. Well, that's big business, anything for a buck. After viewing this gripping expose, I made a resolution to at least make some effort towards recycling. The first step in my confused process was to give up plastic trash bags. This was easy, being that I receive paper bags every time I go to the supermar- ket. The next step was harder, organization. When you recycle, all items have to be separated: newspapers in one pile, aluminum cans in another (the Earth Day's Result biggest pile by far), clear glass and colored glass in separate heaps, and cardboard. After or- ganizing my trash I found that the items actually placed in the trash container were drastically re- duced. Thus, my trips to the dreaded dumpster were spaced farther apart. So what if my neigh- bor calls me "whimpy About a week after my recy- cling project went into effect, my apartment took on a new look, not to mention a new aroma. The time had come for me to get rid of my collection of debris. But where should I take it. Through a friend, I found that the closest place was across the street from Overton's Supermarket. So I loaded up the Buick and started on my quest. Driving across town, I experienced a feel- ing of accomplishment. I was fi- nally doing something to help the environment. Instead of complain- ing about the sorry state of the world, I was acting out a plan for improvement. It may sound kind of corny, but who cares. The world around me started to take on a new look. Greenville has escaped a lot of the environmental slaugh- ter. By recycling, I am helping to keep it that way. Q. So lets wrap this up with the final question: What is in the future for the Attic and Tom Haines? A. The Attic is now in the more than capable hands of joe Tronto and Jeff Cobb. Joe has been the manager for the past two years and has been on the managerial staff for the past ten years. Jeff was a manager in the late '70s and early '80s. The Attics format will remain the same, but with support from the college community you'll see an increase in the number of con- certs. Joe isactively pursuing more involvement with ECU organiza- tions. Give him a call and you'll see what I mean. As for myself, I now live in Charlotte (with my wife Nancy and our two children, Tracy & Adam) working with Creative EntertainmentThe Comedy Zone. My main function is book- ing the headline comedians into the sixty-eight Comedy Zones located in the south-eastern United States.

Signed, Desperate Dear Desperate: You need peace of mind. You need money and time. You desire an education. Which is most im- portant to you? It would help if you could get your priorities to- gether. Everything that is worth anything has a price and you have to find out if the price is too high for you or if you are willing to pay that price. Once you figure that out, then do the best you can. As far as the money is concerned, there are always needs but you have to work within your means. If vou arc in debt, you can start from where you are and work your way from there. If not having enough finance causes you men- tal turmoil, then maybe you can put vour education on "hold" until you can resolve some of the debts. Dear Rita: Please help! I'm graduating this summer and have now met the man I have been waiting for. But what is the point of beginning a relationship with a person in Greenville when 1 have to leave Greenville to get a law degree. I feel once you find that special person, you shouldn't let go. My career ismost important. I'mafraid of gettingoff my career track. What should 1 do? Help! Signed, Career oriented. Dear Career: Life always has tough choices. Perhaps the thought of having the man of your dreams has never been challenged before. Now that he has come along, the thought of your education being most im- portant to you is challenging your pursuit of thisdream relationship. Only you can decide which is most important to you. If you get into this relationship and you both find that it's what you want then you go from there working it out as best you can. It may mean that your education will be second on your priority list and this dream relationship first or vice versa. Dear Rita: One of my best friends is a guy.

The la teCratis Williams, chan- cellor emeritus at Appalachian, was often called "the Father of Appalachian Studies W. Amos Abrams was an important collec- tor of Southern folksong and is Continued from page 6 editor emeritus of North Carolina Education. The North Carolina Folklore Society sponsors its annual stu- dent essay contest with the sup- port of the Appalachian State University Foundation. Ohle said. "It made a deep im- pression on the guv. He had a ball out here It was wild then. It wasa kid's dream. Those were days when a boy could steal away from his mother's cottage and catch trout and sleep under the stars. The roads were dusty logging trails. Indians lived in the woods. Ohle points out the window toward a dark strip of land jutting across the sparkling water. That's where Ernest loved to fish. That's the point Hemingway's young Nick Adams rowed to that last night with his girl in 'The End of Something How's the fishing now? No one knows. The point is privately owned and trespassing isn't al- lowed. Hemingway spent every summer of his youth at Walloon Lake. In 1918, just 19 years old, he went to Italy as an ambulance driver. He returned from World War I with wounds from 227 pieces of shrapnel in his legs and took up residence in a boarding house in Petoskey, a hilly port town six miles to the north next to Lake Michigan. He also earned the reputation of a ruffian. Michigan changed. Wealthy resorters built 22-room log cabins with three-car garages amid the tiny cottages on Walloon Lake. Petoskev exploded into a commer- cialized tourist town. Thebeanery where Hemingway once ate now sellsresorterclothes.It'sopenonly in the summer. Today, developers on I ake Charlevoix advertise $325,000 waterfront condominiums on "Hemingway Pointe" with a slip "which will accommodate your 55-foot yacht Biographer Constance Cap- pel, in her 1977 book "Heming- way in Michigan quotes an old chum asking Hemingway if he would ever come back. "No he replied. "It's too civilized now Only Horton Bay, a logging town on the skids when Heming- way saw it, looks the same. Its population has shrunk to 47. Hemingway returned in his writing, casting northern Michi- gan places and people in one novel and a dozen short stories about birth and death and sex and trout. Fact and fiction flew together like particles in an atom smasher. Hemingway exchanged the Fox River for the Two-Hearted River some 45 miles away. He turned girlfriends into lovers. Very real people got hurt. Marjorie Bump for one. The red- headed girl with the easy smile who waited tables at Dilworth's became Marge, jilted by Ernest's autobiographical Nick Adams in "The End of Something" and later fantasized about in "The Three- Day Blow "She lived in terror of Hem- ingway Ohle says of his cousin. "They were obviously childhood sweetheartsThen he goes and writes her real name in a couple of stories. All through life people discovered she was the Marjorie in the stories. "She never got away from it. It plagued her. I think this washer first love, really. But half the time it turned to hate Marjorie Bump died a few years ago. Yet Hemingway stood in the library with his cane and rakish Italian officers' cape the winter of 1919 and told the Ladies' Aid Society about the horrors and glories of war. Mostly, Horton Bay has left Ernest Hemingway, just as com- pletely as he left Horton Bay. The general store has faded pictures of him on the walls, a few Heming- way T-shirts, a Hemingway book lies on the coffee table by the front window. But few around remember the rough-hewn youth with a vivid imagination.

(AP) � The ACC must decide this week whether to ban Maryland from the league's basketball tournament because of NCAA sanctions against the Terrapins. "It'll be difficult. They've never banned anybody from the tournament said Tom Mickle, an assistant league commissioner and chief spokesman for the eight-member conference. "That'll be decided, whether Maryland's out of the tournament. There's a lot of implications The NCAA nas banned Maryland from being on television during the upcoming season after finding the school guilty of 18 rule violations under ex-Coach Bob Wade. Every game in the Atlantic Coast Confer- ence tournament is televised. So, something has to give and league officials are expected to ban Maryland from the tournament when they meet this week in Myrtle Beach. Moreover, Mickle said, the loss of Maryland from the league TV package may lead to changes in the contract with Raycom Inc a sports television company based in Charlotte, N.C. "The main problem is just finding what games there are to put on TV, and how that affects the TV contract Mickle said. "We've gotten to the point where last year all except three games are on TV.

"It makes the conference bet- ter, and I'm for anything that does that Driesell, James Madison's basketball coach, said Thursday of Old Dominion'sdeparture from the Sun Belt Conference to join the CAA.

But John lamanno, assistant Sun Belt commissioner, told The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger- Star of Norfolk on Thursday that he received a letter from Old Dominion saying the Norfolk school would leave the conference as of June 1991.

"My hat's off to those two teams for this reason he ex- plained. "Following theirlossesagainst us, both home and away, those two teams were on fire, they played outstanding baseball. I know State went through a little bit of a slide following their loss to us, then picked it back up and did a great job in the ACC Tourna- ment, and of course beat Southern Cal. "What Carolina has done words won't even put into per- spective he said. "I think that it's well-deserving for Carolina to get a number one seed, and for State to be number two. I wish that we could have been higher, but at the same time, we're very pleased with where we are The number one seed in the Atlantic Region is Miami, followed by IMCSU at number two, ECU at three. South Florida at four. Cita- del at five and Stetson at six. There were mixed emotions among the Pirate players on play- ing in Florida. "We're very happy with being sent down to Florida, it's a great place to play said Calvin Brown, ECU first baseman. "We're just a little disap- pointed about .C State being seeded ahead of us. But I guess we're going to use that as a moti- vation when we go down there. We re going to play hard anyway, but I guess that will give us a little rtr,i motivation tommy Yarborough, out- fielder for the Pirates, felt a little differently. fa me, it doesn't make a dif- ference where we play he said. "I feel like we've got a good enough team that it doesn't mat- ter who we plav or where we go, m e're going to beat some people. As tar as where we're at, I would have rather gone out West. I have Terps a brother out West. But Miami is fine, too Pitcher Jonathan Jenkins had mixed emotions about playing in Florida. "We've been to Florida twice before, and we haven't done too well he laughed. "So hope- fully we can fare a little better this year. I think that this is the strong- est team since I've been here, but I think that it's a pretty well-bal- anced region down there, and I think that if we just keep on play- ing like we've been doing, we should be able to win some games, maybe the whole thing The Pirates will face the South Florida Bulls on the opening day of the tournament, and the scout- ing report on them is sketchy at this point. "Our first report coming in on South Florida is that they're very much like us Overton said. "South Florida is thought of in their state much like we are in North Carolina. By that, I mean it's a team that has a good record year in and year out, and gives Miami, Florida State and Florida a great deal of trouble. They plav exceptionally well against those teams, and usually win some of the games. " South Florida posted a 41-22 record in the Sun Belt Conference this season and swept their con- ference championship with four consecutive wins. Their leading hitter is Joe Lis, who batted .360 over the season, with 77 hits and 36 RBls.Threeof the Bulls'starters are batted over .300 on the season. On the mound, the Bulls have a team average ERA of 3.21. The two leading pitchers are David Hutchesonand Winston Wheeler. Hutcheson had a 2.05 ERA on a 3- 3 record. He recorded 47 strike- outs and gave up 51 hits over 70.3 innings. Wheeler has a 2.30 ERA and a 5-4 record with three saves. He recorded 45 strike-outs and gave up 70 hits in 66.7 innings.

Conference officials will also discuss two other issues: NCAA legislation designed to contain costs ol running athletic programs and the so-called model program designed by the ACC's long-range planning committee. "I think a lot of time to-ill be spent on all this Micklesaid. "The conference will probably take some sort of stance on all those items The model program calls for changes in the way athletic pro- gramsare run, including the elimi- nation of athletic dormitories and establishing a maximum number oi class days an athlete can miss per semester. "I think vou'll get a pretty good idea where our conference stands coming out of there, which will be pretty interesting Mickle said. B.). Skelton. NCAA faculty representative at Clemson and a member of the long-range plan- ning committee, said the "mood is right" for changes in how athletic programs are run. "I would expect us to be in favor of this, of some type of model program. I do think most people arc interested in moremainstream- ing of athletes he said. "This is one of the most significant things I have seen in my 10 years as a faculty representative. 1 think it's for real Commissioner GencCorrigan has said the ACC would probably adopt some of the measures out- lined in the model program uni- laterally and would try to adopt others jointly with other leagues. Given all that could be de- cided during the meetings, Mickle said it may be one of the most important conference get-togeth- ers in a long time. "I'd say this is one of the most newsworthy conference meetings I would expect that we would ever have because of the cost contain- ment and the model program and the reform in college athletics he said.

Mrs. Bush's original effort, a pro-literacy campaign, stalled when aides pointed out to her that if people read more, they'd start thinking, and if they started thinking, her husband wouldn't get re-elected, and if her husband didn't get re-elected, every- body would give up on the idea that she was a charming and pleasant middle-aged woman and go back to thinking that she was just another old broad with an unexplained affinity for fake pearls. And so it was that at a jam-packed press conference yesterday, First Lady Barbara "Babs" Bush announced a new moral crusade: fighting conti- nental drift. "The continental drift problem is a plague that is sweeping our nation Mrs. Bush stated forcefully. "The continents of the world are migrating towards each other, and ifs time we all stood up and moved this country backwards � inch by inch, block by block. "All right-thinking Americans must band together to stamp out this terrible scourge she continued. "For too long, we have complacently al- lowed our great nation to drift to- wards more unsavory countries like Russia. Whoops, Russia'sour pal now. Well, unsavory countries like China, then. "Clearly, this cannot be allowed to continue. Every person in America must rise up and help move our coun- try back in the opposite direction. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Remember: when someone offers you drift, just say 'whoa Mrs. Bush also called on employ- ers to test their employees for drift abuse.

"Some would have you believe that this (decreasing competi- tive ability) is not due to continental drift at all, but rather is a by-product of this country's sorry excuse for an educational system, its tolerance of scientific illiteracy, or its tax laws that effectively promote doing research and development overseas Mrs. Bush said. "Well, they're only saying that because they're drifters and they're anti-American Reaction to Mrs. Bush's message was immediate and overwhelmingly positive. Citing the need to have one person directing the country's drift policy, President Bush created the cabinet-level post of "Drift Czar In addition, the president signed a tough new "zero-tolerance" anti-drift law. Under the law, anyone remotely sus- pected of moving the continent even a nanometer in any direction will be immediately killed. Later, a trial may or may not be held. The movie and television indus- tries also rallied to Mrs. Bush's side, as big-name stars like Kirk Cameron taped hundreds of anti-drift public service announcements. One of the more creativeanti-drift efforts tocome from the entertainment world isa half- hour animated show called Cartoon All Stars jump On The Bandwagon. The show, starring that beloved wascally wabbit Bugs Bunny and many other cartoon creatures trusted and admired by impressionable children, seeks to impress upon youngsters the impor- tance of spying and ratting on par- ents, friends and neighbors who en- gage in drifting or other politically unpopular behavior. "We don't really care whether children grasp the subtleties of this complex issue, whether they are led to weigh the individual's right to act freely � even self-dcstructively � against society's right to protect itself from lawless and violent behavior said Annie Thingforabuck, the program's director. "We just want them to get the message that drifting is wrong Several anti-drift groups are also using television to warn kids about the dangers of drifting. One grim commercial, produced by Partnership for a Stationary America, goes like this: a man holds up an egg and says, "This is your country Then he waves a frying pan around and says, "This is drifting Then he puts the egg in the frying pan and wavesthe pan around, causing the egg to fly off and smack against the wall, as he says: "This is your country drifting.

ECU Today's founder. One rich dude. And listen, I gotta tell ya, about this Jesse Helms. He'smy kindaguy. If s been too dum long since there's been somebody in Congress with the guts to stand up and tell the fags to cut it out. I mean, Jeez. Why the heck should we let them fags get away with doing � you know. So what if they're consenting adults? So what if they don't hurt others? The point is that what they do is something I find personally offensive, so they should have to cut it out. "But, Al you're saying, "what does it matter to you what those queers do behind closed doors?" Why does it matter to me? Why does it matter to me? Because it gets me all nervous and jumpy, and just not the kinda guy you'd want to work with, that's why. And I get all nervous and jumpy because I don't get much sleep, and I don't get much sleep because I'm always lying awake at night, imagining what two gay-boys out there somewhere are doing to each other. Sometimes I lie awake all night, just thinkin' and thinkin' about them gays doing gay stuff. My wife � Ethel � tells me 1 talk about it in my sleep. And a lot of times, when I'm, like, you know, on the brink of a big passionate climax with Ethel, a lot of the time all I can think about is just gay people and stuff. Funny thing is, I got to talking with old Jesse at a fund-raiser last time he was in town, and he told me he has the same problem. Then he invited me to spend a weekend with him at his place out in the country, so's we could talk about it some. I'm looking forward to it already THE BACTERIA THAT KlLLEt Hugh Manrights An opposing view Face it: Helms is a jerk As the local representative of the American Civil Liberties Union, I am appalled by the views so cavali- erly expressed by the writer across the page.

And the late Barry L. Place is fighting mad about it. "We've been discriminated against long enough screamed Place, addressing a crowd of about 3000 corpses arrayed in New York's Cen- tral Park Tuesday. "Do you realize that a deceased person in this country can't even own property? As soon as the government finds out a person has passed away, it moves in and lays claim to everything he ever owned Place pointed out that dead people have been discriminated against for at least as long as humans have kept records on the subject. Specifically, he complained that dead people are nearly always burned or buried in the ground, fates that rarely befall the living. "And does the government intercede in our behalf?" he asked. "Never Place demanded that the govern- ment address the situation immedi- ately. He called for legally mandated hiring quotas to give the dead equal representation in the workplace and said that colleges should hire more dead professors. "The lack of non-living profes- sors causes two problems Place said. "First, the college provides inadequate diversity of viewpoints, so living stu- dents are not exposed to the unique blend of insights that a non-living professor could offer. Second, de- ceased studentsarediscouraged from completing their educations. Did you know that not a single deceased stu- dent graduated from an accredited college last year?" Place went on to say that broad- casters should "give corpses equal time to respond to on-air comments that portray the deceased in a nega- tive light and perpetuate outdated stereotypes about us But the primary focus of Place's proposed reform is on changing the words used to refer to the dearly departed. "We've been called 'stiffs 'ca- davers 'carcasses' and, worst of all, 'dead We're not 'dead Place insisted as the crowd cheered, "we're 'living disabled In a private interview after the rally, Place and his kindly adviser "Maw" Zoleum discussed the nomen- clature issue at greater length. "Our first priority is to institute an entirely new set of euphemisms to refer to the departed explained Zoleum. "And every ten years or so, we'll make a big stink and insist that the euphemism be changed again. As soon as people start to notice what a dumb term 'living disabled' is, for example, we'll change it to 'living challenged That way, it looks like we're doing something worthwhile Place's remarks were praised by most observers � including politi- cians, already competing for the all- important "dead vote" in the 1992 elections.

Bush on taxes: 'Re-read my lips' The Amalgamated Press After this morning's round of tax talks with Democrats, President Bush offered reporters a surprising inter- pretation of his famous 1988 campaign pledge not to implement any new taxes. "1 wasn't saying 'no new taxes the president explained. "I was say- ing 'no gnu taxes No taxes on gnus. Gee, I hope I didn't mislead anybody Bush went on to blame "some irresponsible elements in the media" for the public's in terpreting his words as "no new taxes "All 1 was trying to do was pro- tect the young gnu markets that were just opening up in the United States Bush whined, adding that the fledg- ling gnu industry was vitally neces- sary to ensure future US. competi- tiveness in the world market.
