The ARC is the largest volun- teer organization devoted solely to improving the quality oi life for individuals with mental retarda- tion. The organization is funded by the United Way. The Pitt County branch is affiliated with the state and national ARC. 'What we do is provide edu- cational programs or information about mental retardation Execu- tive Paula Johnson said. "We are an agency that advocates the rights oi these individuals with mental retardation While some ARC chapters are responsible for running shelters. group homes or hospice care. Pitt County does not provide such direct services for the mentally re- tarded ot this area. Pat's ARC chapter i primarily concerned with educating and helping re- tarded indiv iduals with any prob- lems thev may encounter. 'We assist families and indi- viduals with mental retardation in whatever way we're requested to do so fohnson said. It might be assisting in locating a dentist or physician tor the individual. or it might be helping an elderly parent with a mentally retarded son or daughter plan care tor that child after their death The ARC" stays abreast on leg- islative issues that could improve the quality oi life for the mentally retarded. It is also concerned with helping parents find valuable summer programs tor their men- tally retarded child and providing information on ways that mental retardation can be prevented. "Approximately 50 percent of the cases of mental retardation could have been prevented Johnson said. "We encourage expectant mothers to receive early pre-natal care, toa void alcohol and drugs and to practice other pre- ventive measures to lessen the risk that their child will be born men- tal ly retarded See ARC, page 3 M t This familiar scene of student conversing with co-op advisor may be on its way out if the grants needed to ensure Cooperative Education's survival do not come through Because of federal education cuts, the department may loose five positions (Photo by Tommy Walters) Co-op faces possible loss of grant support By Elizabeth Donaghy Statt Writer As a result ot tederal educa- tion cuts. ECU's Cooperative Education department faces los- ing five counseling positions be- causeoi the loss of external grant support. Since 1975, the Co-op depart- ment has served to enhance the academic and professional devel- opment ot the students involved. Through job placement in a cho- sen Held, students are given the opportunity to work with profes- sionals as well as explore career options. This program helpsopen doors to future employment with the experience offered. According to Cooperative Education annual reports, exter- nal grants have been received to- taling more than SI 3 million since 1975. rhe ECU Co-op program was awarded a $643.000grant in 1986. I he grant ran tor three years and is currently on extension. The de- partment has applied for a no cost extension thru August 31, but presently the grant is scheduled to expire lune 30. Without the exten- sion, the program has very little time to find new grants. Because of the budget cuts. there is no money from state funds available to pick up where the grant ends. This will cause a loss ot five positions in the co-op department staff if new grants are not found I hepositionscut will be those that were created after receiving the grant in 1986. This will cut the department employees almost in half. "These employees are very highly trained, excellent people; very student-oriented, very hard working and very eager to serve students said Dr. Betsy H. Harper, the department's direc- tor. According to Harper, elimi- nation of the five positions will also cut counseling of the students in half. In an attempt to deal with thi situation fairly, the depart- ment will only specialize in either part-time placement or alternat- ing semester placement, which allows the student to work one semester and go to school the next. Students reiving on the co-op program as a means to pay tor their education will have to adjust to any changes made.

Billy Woodard lays tile at ECU'S fountain. This is just one of the many campus beautification endeavors (Photo by J.D. Whitmire) Using a tinv laser beam the size of a felt-tipped marker, der- matologists at the ECU School of Medicine can treat port wine stain birthmarks similar to the one on Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's forehead. Laser treatments for the birth- marks and other conditions such as spider veins became available this month at the ECU Outpatient Center. Spider veins are thin, reddish to purplish dilated capillaries that appear anywhere on the body but most often are seen on the face and legs. Doctors believe their causes are associated with liver disease, heredity and hormonal changesin women. "Birthmarks are common said Dr. Michael Smith, ECU der- matologist and assistant professor in the Department of Medicine. "More then 40 percent of babies born each year have them. Most fade as the child matures but some remain, causing medical and so- cial problems Smith explained, "With this laser we can help relieve the self- consciousness patientsexpenence and avoid medical problems some- times associated with birthmarks like the port wine stain Port wine stains ? bluish, reddish or purplish discolorations of the skin caused by an over- growth of normal capillaries ? can appear on any part of the body bu t are commonly seen on the face, neck or trunk. They are among a group of birthmarks called vascu- lar hemanigomas which include the nevus flammeus, known to many people as the stork bite or angel's kiss.

He they gradually change from a flat smooth appearance to become dark and bumpy likecobblestones. They may also become infected and bleed after a minor injury. Dermatologists can treat port wine stains and other flat vascular birthmarks with a series of laser treatments done in an outpatient setting. The number of treatments needed to remove the birthmarks ranges from six to 10, but varies depending on its size. The treat- ments tend to last 15 to 20 minutes each and are done over a period of six months to a vear. After each treatment, the birthmark lightens and gradually disappears. Smith said patients feel little or no pain. Most describe only a slight sensation similar to a rubber band snap or mild sunburn. Be- fore treating infants and children, a local anesthetic is administered. Medical research has shown that the laser treatment is most effective for use with infants and voung children, said Smith. Be- cause port wine stains grow and thicken rapidly, they are more responsive to treatment in the noted that though more treatments may be required for adults, the procedure is usually successful. ECU is one of three medical centers in the state offering the treatments. Other clinics are lo- cated at Duke University Medical Center in Durham and Bowman Gray School of Medicine in Win- ston-Salem.

Summer heat can lead to problems Crime Report By Catherine Bush SHS Health Promotion Assistant Summer is here, and for many people that means outdoor rec- reation. There are several heat related disorders that should be taken into consideration when out in sunny, hot, humid weather. Ovcrexpo- sure to sun, heat and humidity can cause serious medical prob- lems ? among them heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. These medical problems all relate to high body temperature result- ing from heavy muscular work and prolonged sun exposure. Heat cramps arc cramps or spasms. Thev are caused by exces- sive loss of salt and perspiration and can be quite painful. Heat cramps are not considered a medical emergency, but are warn- ing signals of potential danger. First aid for heat cramps includes gentle massages or stretching of the area and ice applications. Heat exhaustion is a condi- tion caused bv over exertion in a hot, humid environment. It is more serious than heat cramps but not as serious as heat stroke. Heat exhaustion occurs because of a diminished blood flow to the lungs, brain and heart. Symptoms include pale, cool, clammy skin; dilated pupils; rapid, weak pulse; extreme thirst; shallow breathing and excessive sweating. When heat exhaustion is recognized the individual should stop all activi- ties immediately. The individual should be moved to a cool, shady place and the clothing loosened to aid breathing and heart regula- tion. Cool, damp clothes should be placed on the individual, and the legs should be elevated to increase blood circulation to the brain.

The grant thev ap- plied for will cause no change in staff. They will find out lune 30 if this particular grant will be awarded. According to annual reports, ECU's Co-op department is the 12th highest ranking program of its kind at four year institutions. Last year alone, 3,683 students were counseled with 2,040 being placed in jobs. The total student earnings have reached $3,272,982. In addition to this, ECU is the only school visited by the Department of Defense to recruit handicapped students.

Chris Sweet, a senior at ECU majoring in construction manage- ment, has worked alternating semesters in the design depart- ment of Burroughs Wellcome for i year and a half. He said his job there has made it possible for him to pay for his education. The alter- nating program hascaused him to be a year behind, but he said it is worth it. "Funding should not be cut because it (co-op) allows students the practical experience they need to get a better job coming out of college Sweet said.

Heatstroke occurs when the body stops sweat- ing and overheats. Svmptoms include red, hot, dry skin; con- stricted pupils; nausea; dizziness and full cessation of sweating. Since heatstroke is extremely dangerous the temperature of the individual must be lowered as rapidly as possible to pre ven t heart or brain damage. The individual should be moved to a cool place and have as much clothing re- moved as possible. The individ- ual should then be placed on his her back with theirhead and shoul- ders elevated and rubbed with cloths soaked in alcohol or cold water, covered with sheets that have been soaked in cold water or placed in a draft created by a fan or air conditioner.

In keeping with his Thou- sand Toints of Light" theme, the president plans to present 1,000 "Daily Toint of Light" recogni- tions by Ian. 20, 1993. As of Mav 16,144 a wards had been presented. ECU's program was nomi- nated in February bv its director, health education instructor Judy Baker, who first learned of the president's recognition program from a segment on NBC's 'Today Show "I spent the rest of the dav making phone calls to find out how to make a nomination she said.

"Those nominations that look promising are researched and presented before a committee he said. "The committee decides which nominations are submitted to the president, who then con- firms or denies them for recogni- tion. The ECU program, Delegal said, has been researched and is awaiting consideration by the committee. "This is an ongoing process ? never is anybody re- moved from consideration he noted. "ECU could hear something as early as next week or as late as 1993. But their prospects look good. I wouldn't have called Judy if it didn't look promising The situation has created a lot of excitement in the Department of Health and Human Perform- ance with calls from the White House coming in daily.

"It's nice that someone from outside the univer- sity sees the value of our program, not only to ECU but also to the community. "It's an honor just to have made it this far she added. Two N.C businesses were among the first 100 "points of light" to be recognized since November, when the program was started. Duke Power Company's "Power in Education" program, which offers academic scholar- ships to high school seniors and encourages employees to volun- teer as tutors, teaching assistants, science fair judges and school facilities inspectors, was recog- nized on Dec. 29.

According to the ECU News Bureau, Pr. Ellen Voland will be directing the program. The ses- sions will run from uly9-20on the ECU campus. The first week's activities in- clude participants forming topic teams to research and report on the victims of poverty. They will examine and learn about the vari- ous groups that poverty strikes, such as children and youth, women, theelderlv and the work- ing poor. The second week entails a simulation experience to teach participants how to activate anti- povcrrv projects in their homes. A "drive-in" conference on lulv 17 will feature sessions on education, human and health serv- ices, worker-owner cooperatives and programs for children and youth. The institute and conferences are intended for those with either a personal or professional interest in anti-poverty programs. Susan Hopkins, coordinator for the institute, said: "We con- ARC tacted all the universities, colleges and community colleges in East- ern North Carolina (regarding the poverty institute). This is the sec- ond summer institute held in Greenville. "It was very successful last summer; but there may not be as big a turn out this year because of budget cuts The summer institute is being sponsored by the ECU schools of education, medicine and social work, the Eastern North Carolina Poverty Committee and the N.C. Poverty Project. Further informa- tion is available from the ECU school of education. Continued from page 1 But helping others under- stand and appreciate the mentally retarded is also important. One of the most popular educational purloins sponsored bv the ARC is the "Kids on the Block" pro- gram. "This program is a public presentation that provides accu- rate educational information about disabilities and shows the many things people with disabilities can do Johnson said. "It helps to develop positive attitudes toward those with disabilities "Kids on the Block" was pri- marily designed for elementary schoolchildren The program was first presented in January 1988. Sincethattime. 118 programs have been presented to 13,000 people. The "Kids on the Block" pro- gram consists of five short skits that use six life-size puppets as its characters. All but two of these puppets have disabilities. "The way this program works is that the puppets that don't have a disability talk with the puppets who do have a disability Johnson said. "They learn about each other through their conversation The puppets' disabilities in- clude blindness, cerebral palsy, mental retardation and a learning disability. Children are given an opportunity to ask questions after the program. "The questions children ask are great Johnson said. "Chil- dren are just naturally curious about the differences the puppets exhibit The questions range from how the characters got their disabili- ties to how the characters feel when Award they are teased about their dis- ability. "I think that if we can provide these children at a young age with accurate educational information to address their concerns and answer their questions then we will help other individuals better accept thosedifferenccsassociated with the mentally retarded Johnson said. The Pitt County ARC consists ofa staff of only two people, there- fore, the organization is extremely dependent on volunteers to help with its programs. Volunteers include ECU students, members of the community and people who have family members with dis- abilities who help broaden the understanding of mentally retar- dation and to help the mentally retarded lead more vital lives.

Politi- cians cutting budgets at the state level have forced schools to trim "excess spending while similar cuts bv federal politicians threaten to worsen the problem. Where are their priorities? It seems that every time there's a budget crunch, the nation's colleges and universities are dramatically affected. Undergraduate and graduate programs both suffer; obviously, this can be persuaded to try it. At last report, the military's funding of educational institutions (most of it for "re- search of course) hadn't suffered from budget cuts in the slightest. And the money they offer to pay for college educations ? in return or military service, naturally ? increased, even as other federal funding for education dropped off (One wonders whether this constitutes the institution of a de facto draft, aimed at the poor.) diminishes the quality of education and leaves Since peace is bustin' out all over as they say, students wondering whether they're getting their money's worth out of education. Sadly, these budget cuts have had a direct impact on ECU. The Cooperative Education department, which had relied on a yearly $643,000 federal grant for operations, will be forced to cut five counseling positions if no alternate external funding is found before June 30. This action will affect over 3000 students who currently work at jobs the Cooperative Congress could take that money away from the military and give it to colleges and students straight from the government, to be used for non-research funding if necessary. This wouldn't take away any military jobs ? or very few, at any rate; those who oversee the dispen- sation oi the funds might have to be transferred or fired ? and it could help save many jobs in education, like the Co-op positions mentioned above. Plus, it would enable universities to Education department helped them find, not to maintain the quality oi education they offer, rfiefition"students' the CcT-dp" department will and it wouldn't have the effect of forcing the tal- have to turn down if the program loses so much ented poor into a stint in the military just be- of its funding. But there's a way to save Co-op's cause they want an education and aren't lucky counseling positions and other threatened jobs enough to be able to atford it ? if "the education president" and Congress fust a thought. Health Smoking, a bad choice from the start By Richard Prince Gannett News Service Sammy Davis Jr. would have recognized this scene. The bell rings at the high school. Three women bound into the teachers' smoking lounge, located incon- spicuously behind a macrame- covered window. The women can't wait to light up, and they do. They are lunchroom monitors, retired community people who work three hours a day. Smoking was an issue in the Rochester, N.Y suburb of Pen- field this year. Eighty-nine stu- dents had secured written permis- sion from their parents to smoke, and the school district allowed them to do so outside the build- ing. The students called the area their own smoking lounge. On May 1, the school board voted to end all smoking ? for the students. The board couldn't stop the teachers and staff from smok- ing in the teachers' lounge, be- cause that's considered a condi- tion of employment subject to contract negotiations. Nobody, labor or manage- ment, seems too eager to rock that boat. When I visited Penfieid High last month, some students thought the adult behavior hypocritical. 1 did, too, and so 1 asked the lunch- room monitors about the double standard. "We know we're doing wrong said JeanGorall. "I started when I was 14, and we knew noth- ing about (consequences). Now they know the truth, and that's enough to scare the pants off anybody Sammy would understand. When he died last month, there was so much to say about the man that the reason he died got short shrift. The Candy Man conquered alcohol and cocaine addiction, but by his own admission could not kick nicotine. For most of his life he went through 40 cigarettes a day. His stage shtick included a cigarette between his fingers or stuck in the side of his mouth.

Neil Houghton, president of Penfield's teacher union, an AFT affiliate, said, "The vast majority of teachers are non-smokers, so we're being better and better role models Cigarettes are props. People start smoking not because they like the taste, but because they like the image. It's just as Sammy said, we all need props at some point. The example of his life completes the thought: When you pick the wrong ones, they're not always easy to get rid of. CCofyrifht 11?. USA TODAWAppk Celltp lijtnulin VVtmwf By Nathaniel Mead Editorial Columnist Tomorrow wrote the Chi- nese poet Wen Yiduo, "the city of Beijing will be full of ghosts That was in 1926, soon after the Beijing police shot at demonstrating stu- dents and civilians. During the Chinese Revolution (1966-1976), more than a million Chinese per- ished, and millions more were "reformed" in farms and prisons. In the late '70s, China's people again began to clamor for demcx - racy and human rights. By the mid80s, thestudents, along with millions ol disgruntled workers whose livelihoods had been wors- ened bv post-Mao reform pro- grams, were again urging politi- cal change Of the hundreds ol people who weremowed down in cold blood near Tiananmen Square last June, the majority were work- ers, not students. The credit for inspiring the democratic movement and up- holding nonviolence will always belong to the students. But wi must realize that the workers' mass movement eventuallv superseded the students' protest. Known as the Laobaixing"common folk" or "old hundred names"), these workers formed a human wall ol peaceful protesters when 2,000 idealistk students launched a mass hunger strike in Tiananmen Square on May 13. Many of them vowed to die rather than let the armv into the Square. And die thev did an estimated one thousand Laobaixwg may have been killed on that fateful une day. Not much has been said about the Laobaixing in the U.S proba- bly because the mass media opin- ion-keepers prefer to romanticize thestudents' protest And vet the Laobaixtng,a bitter underclass that has lived in poverty for several decades, has emerged as a major political force in China. I heir grievances are a product of the decade-long reforms, which, though broadly popular, also cre- ated a range of social conflicts: steep income polarization, spiral- ing commodity prices, acute short- age of decent housing, and ram pant corruption, speculation, and profiteering bv government and partv officials?something our own administration can well re- late to. In addition, the government has tightly controlled political decision-making, restricted free speech,and poured military funds into such efforts as supporting the notorious Pol Pot regime in Kam- puchea. During the 1980s, Deng had moved toward compromise with the intelligentsia, in order to advance China's modernization program and facilitate the eco- nomic opening to the West. This official stance allowed students and intellectuals more latitude in criticizing their government's behavior and performance. The Laobaixing, however, had been given no such latitude. But since lqS7, Deng's gov- ernment has sought to stem the tide ol "corrosive bourgeois lib- eral ideas from the West. Politi- cal dissidence is almost uniformly associated with the West. Last Thursday, three Chinese dissi dents stood in open opposition to the repression Hou Dejian, a popular folk singer, Zhao Duo, a scholar; and Cia( Xin, a former university newspapereditor. Their plan was to make public a letter calling tor the release of political prisoners rhursday. A few days ago. all three were reported miss- ing What has happened to them1 Did thev meet the same fates as those others linked with pro- democracy protests who were either jailed or executed last June1 The disappearance of three dissidents seems ironically timed. In late lune last year, the govern- ment publicly perpetrated their tirst three executions of demon- strators who had been linked with the Tiananmen rally. Then, as now, President George Bus.h said and did nothing, and Secretary lames Baker repeatedly defended him Bush's muteness, albeit prepos- terous, was entirely consistent with Iv.s restrained reactions to the Chinese repression? his only response being" I deeply deplore" I the Chinese government's use oi violence against its peoplel. "Abhor" would've shown a bit more backbone: or reviled, re- pulsed, outraged or infuriated. But not this time. Not with our milque- toast wimp of a president. Bush's main tear, ostensibly, is that if weisolateChina.its going to be the Iron Curtain all over aga i n. Then there will be nc chance to let China see what fife's like in the rest oi the world, and it will take longer for the leaders to real- ize there has to be a change. The idea is that the same ripple effect that has begun to transform east- ern Europe will also occur in the Far East if we can "Westernize" the Chinese. Says Bush, "We must realize that by maintaining our involvement with China, we will continue to promote the reforms for which the victims of Tian- anmen gave their lives Problem is, it was largely becauseof the failure of these same reforms that thestudentsand Lao- baixing were stirred up in the first place.

The Laobaixing are still a major revolutionary under- current.

Perhaps we are only now seeing the eye of the storm. Mean- while, the executions continue Letters Recycling effort must continue To the Editor: As a person who loves and respects theenvironment, I found Stuart Oliphant's article, "Earth Day Leaves Changed Lives (May 23, 1990) both encouraging and thoughtful. Stuart and those like him, do make a difference, considering "the average Ameri- can family produces 100 lbs. of trash every week according to 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Save the Earth, by The Earth Works Group. Bv recycling, rather than start- ing the whole manufacturing proc- ess over again, we not only extend the life of our landfills, but we also conserve energy. And, therefore, we reduce the amount of harmful by-products spewed into our at- mosphere. For those motivated to recycle, I would like to add to Stuart's suggestions: always remove metal or plastic collars and caps, and corks from glass bottles; remove plastic tape from cardboard; and don't place your newspapers in a plastic bag and "chunk it all into the bin. Seeing plastic in the plainly marked newspaper con- tainer makes me wonder iust how many illiterate people consume newspapers.

A band of tornados cut through the nation's mid section Satur- day, killing at least seven people and injuring at least 125 in Indiana and leaving one dead in Illinois, authorities said. Gov. :wn Bayh declared a state of emergency and dispatched the Indiana National Guard to Bedford and Petersburg, the two hardest hit areas. Elsewhere, storms swept across Illinois. Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota and Wiscon- sin.knockingdown trees, disrupt- ing utility service and destroying homes and businesses. At least four tornadoes skipped across southern and cen- tral Indiana, touching down about 50 times, said lerrv Hauer, direc- tor of the state Department ot Emergency Management. " It's incredible. P ve never seen anything like this. Everything's fust shut down said Randall I. I iarris, news director at radio sta- tion WFPC in Petersburg. The city, which is about 30 miles north of Fvansville. was in shambles, he said. Harris said he was at home when a tornado hit. "It was just a very strong roar, almost like a low-flying jet he said. 1 iauer said seven people were confirmed dead in Indiana ? three in Petersburg, three in Bedford and one in Putnam County. One woman was killed in Putnam County when her mobile home overturned, said Hendricks County sheriff's Lt. Steve Golden. Many people had been brought to Hendricks Memorial Hospital in Danville, said the hospital's vice president, ohn Komenda. He didn't know how many were treated. "It's ust been pretty hectic here all night he said. Bedford Police Chief Dean Dune an said one person was killed and several were injured when a tornado struck the Pnde Fstates mobile home park southeast of Bedford. Hauer had no details on the other Indiana deaths. "It could be many hours be- fore we know the full magnitude of the damage he said, adding that the Federal Emergency Man agemenl Agency was notified tor help. I Iauer said the storm was the worst to hit Indiana since 1974, when about a dozen tornados touched down. In Illinois, tornados de- stroyed or damaged scores of homes, killing a woman in the southeastern town of Browns and injuring at least eight people in Findlay and Newton counties, officials said. Officials concerned about leaks shut off electricity and gas service in Findlay, with a popula- tion of about 8(H), after 11 homes were destroyed and 25 others were damaged. Dozens of people were taken to Dunn Memorial Hospital after a tornado whipped through that area shortly after 8 p.m , hospital spokeswoman Evelyn Williams said A restaurant, service station and convenience store were de- stroyed south of Bedford, wit- nesses said. National Guardsmen helped with medical aide and cleanup. Hauer said many of the in- jured were in a nursing home in Petersburg and a restaurant in Bedford. Indiana State Police in Lafay- ette reported extensive damage in Montgomery County, where a tornado cut through an area north- east ofCrawfordsville to the south- western tip of Clinton County. Worried shoppers stock up on food in fear of truckers' strike When hurricanes hit VANCOUVER, British Co- lumbia (AP) A government mediator began a marathon bar- gaining session Saturday aimed at ending a week old strike by independent truckers in i;t:h Columbia that has blocked U.S. border points. Meanwhile, worried shoppers were stockpiling food because they feared the strike, which be- gan last Sunday, will soon leave supermarket shelves bare. Provincial Solicitor General Russ Fraser on Friday appointed Brian Williams to mediate the bit terratedisputebetween the truck- ers and the hauling industry. Williams met with the truck- ing companies, the Western Owner Operators Association representing the independents, and the Teamsters Union, which speaks for unionized drivers. The talks were continuing late Saturday night but there was no word of any progress Fraser vowed on Friday that the border blockades would come down, but they remained in place Saturday. Customs officials at border points said police were monitoring the situation but not interfering with the blockade. The striking independent truckers have blockaded the U S Canadian border in British Co- lumbia with their rigs, persuad- ing or forcing American truckers to turn their vehicles around or park them. Buses and cars were getting through, and so were trucks car- rying medical supplies and mail, but everything else was being turned back. Some store owners said wor- ried customers are buying more food than usual because of the strike "Some people are stockpil- ing said Ken Fowler, the man- ager of Thrifty Foods Fairfield store in Victoria.

The number of striped bass in the Roanoke River has dwindled in the past 20 years, and researchers from ECU are trving to deter- mine why. Pr. Roger Rulifson, a fishery- biologist with the ECU Institute for Coasts and Marine Resources, has been studying a stretch of the Roanoke River since 1988. But he is still not sure exactly what has caused the fish decline. Sotne possibilities he's identi- fied include pollution, unnatural waterflow caused by dams and overfishing. Rulifson's research now fo- cuses on the spawning habits ot striped bass. He is also concerned with how the river's conditions affect the fish, their eggs and the hatched young. "Most fish spawn when the water temperature oi the river is 18 degrees centigrade (64 degrees Fahrenheit) Rulifson said. "When the water is three degrees cooler or warmer, limited spawn- ing mav occur but survival of the eggs is poor The river's water now is on the warm side, buta snapof cooler weather and rain mav bring it down, again. The water temperature and quality is also affected by the as- tern of dams on the Roanoke wa- tershed. And a plan by the city of Virginia Beach has some research- ers concerned. The city plan? to use Gaston Reservoir as its municipal water supply. Rolifson says pumping water out of the reservoir would reduce the How of the river and might hinder spawning. At one time the striped bass were so plentiful that they pro- vided a major fishing industry But for the first time this year, the state hasbanned striped bass fish- ing. Pressure from the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commis- sion led the state to cancel the fishing season, officials said. Julie Stacey.

Because of his efforts ? com- bined with the generosity of some major corporations and individu- als ? hundreds of terminally ill boys and girls come here every vear with their families.

SOUTH BOSTON. Va. (AP) ? Larry Smith, 43, tipped the scales at nearly 430 pounds when he was told he would have to lose weight if he wanted to live to his next birthday. So Smith decided to curb his eating for a year and underwent experimental surgery to bypass his intestine. Now, mealtime is when he sleeps, and food is a clear liquid pumped into his bloodstream through a tube in his chest. Dieting is nothing new for Smith, news director at gospel radio station WSBV-AM in South Boston. He's been trying to lose weight since age lh when he "bulked up" for football. "1 got to the point where I was so large that I couldn't put my own socks on Smith says. "My son would put my shoesand socks on for me because I couldn't bend over Smith says he has tried every- thing from liquid diets, to pills and videocassette diet programs, but whatever nominal weight he lost returned weeks later. Since undergoing the opera- tion Jan. 3 at Duke University Medical Center, the 6-foot-1 Smith has shed more than 140 pounds. He now puts on his own shoes and socks. He also cut more than a foot off his belt. "My wife says it's like getting a new husband he says. "1 do eat things occasionally, I guess mainly just out of habit. I still see things that every now and then I'd like to have. "For example, I really love hot dogs. I likea good of hot dog with mustard,chili and slaw And I can remember before 1 went into the hospital, 1 could eat three or four just like that at one time ? no problem. 1 can hardly eat one now because it just fills me up He savs most of the time he'll J sip ice water at the table while his family has dinner. Smith is one of five people, and the only male, to undergo the experimental surgery performed by Dr. John P. Grant at Duke University. The operations come at a time when Congress is keep- ing close watch over weight-loss regimens and clinics. Grant, in a telephone inter- view from Durham, N.Cstressed that the surgery is still experimen- tal and not available to everyone. Under the procedure, food travels the normal digestive tract through the stomach until it gets to the first foot or so of the small intestine. That's where a section of intestine is bypassed ? the sec- tion that absorbs most of the body's food. The food is then deposited directly into the colon, where it is excreted. "The surgery is really meant for the 40) 500 -and bOO-poun- ders Grant says. "We can guar- antee any weight loss they want. We have taken patients ? the women ? down to 140 pounds Standard weight-loss surgery, such as stomach stapling, is ade- quate for those who are moder- ately obese, he says. The program calls for an aver- age weekly loss of four pounds, though the first 40 pounds ? mostly water ? could come off morequickly. Any risks from rapid weight loss, says Grant, are offset by the nutrient-rich liquid that is fed through a catheter into the vein that leads to the heart. Once Smith reaches his target weight of 187, Grant will hook up his intestines.

The heat of summer can be deadly for animals who lack proper care. The supervisor of Greenville's Animal Control, Audro Barrett, said pets need sufficient shelter to avoid sun strokes. Pets also need plenty of cool water that should be changed regularly. Barrett said animals should not be left in a car, even for five or ten minutes, because the temperature inside a car on a hot day could reach 160 degrees and kill the animal. Your pet should visit the vet- erinarian regularly. Pets are vul- nerable to illnesses from ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, and internal parasites during the summertime. In warmer weather, students often bring their pets on campus. Public Safety worker Patricia Hair said the city leash law applies to the campus as well. Hair said it is not a good idea to tie your dog up while you run into the library or bookstore. If the dog is barking or trying to bite passers-by, an offi- cer will take some sort of action. Dogs have been known totour classroom buildings. Hair said an officer once had to go to the book- store to get a dog because some students were afraid to come out of the building. An animal should always wear identifying tags in case it gets lost. If students leave Greenville and cannot take their pets, they should find a new owner or take it toa shelter. Barrett said there have been instances where pcopleleave their pets behind, thinking the animals can take care of them- selves. The Animal Shelter once rescued a dog who was tied up to a trailer and abandoned. The dog was hungry, dehydrated and had resorted to eating grass. Barrett said a person can be prosecuted for mistreatment of animals. Information concerning suspects who may be mistreating an animal should be reported to the police or an animal shelter. If you would like to buy a pet, you can go to the Greenville Ani- mal Shelter or the Pitt County Humane Society. For a small adop- tion fee, you can give an animal a home. Pets require considerable time, money and love, so do not make an impulsive decision. A loved pet will be a devoted com- panion.

See Quiz, page 8 By Edna Gundersen Gannett News Service Read their lips: What you see may not be what you hear. "Is it live or is it Memorex?" is a valid question as pop stars increasingly use lip-synching and pre-recorded tapes to enhance shows. Is live pop dying? Hardly, but as concerts are more lavishly staged musical fudging is mounting. The phe- nomenon is proliferating in dance- oriented pop, where videos, not stages, are the launching pad and proving ground. The most obvious example is Madonna's current tour, a visu- ally preoccupied and heavily choreographed spectacle. Ma- donna lip-synchs the duet "Now changed, and thaf s the driving I'm Following You while a Dick force here says Thorn Duffy, Tracy character mouths Warren Billboard talent editor.

Few would declare this a scam. No attempt is made to dis- guise the lip-synching sequence, and the show's high entertainment quotient compensates for vocal mediocrity. "Nine times out of 10, they aren't going to tell you says Carl Freed, head of the North Ameri- can Concert Promoters Associa- tion. "If they're good at it, nine times out ot 10, you can't tell Billboard recently reported that up to 50 percent of the sound in shows by teen idols Milli Va- nilli and New Kids on the Block are pre-taped, including vocal harmonies.

We are responsible for attending classes, caring for ourselves, working late-night jobs and juggling personal lives. It's hard to establish friendships or romances between the requirements of college life. But I am proof that it is possible. I'm holding the best of it all. and I'm the first to admit it is not of my own strength. In all humility, and tor nothing I have earned or deserved, I have been blessed. Almost everyone who knows me understands what I mean. Let me inform those oi you who onlv know my name. As my "By Line" ,i-s. 1 am planning to get married. 1 have already learned a lot in preparation for that event about living with other peoplcby sharing an apartment with two of the nicest girls I know. However, there's more to marriage than being a good roommate or friend. Marriage isa relationship that is exclusive and exhaustive. From my point of view, marriage means total submission toa man I trust to care for me above himself and more than I could care for myself. The Bible says, "The wifedoes not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; Out oi context, that could be read to mean wives must be slaves and allow themselves to be abused. The rest of that verse says and likewisealso the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does (1 Connthians7:4). Ina situation like that, it is impossible for husband or wife to be abused or mistreated. Women today are told over .i rtd over that they are just as good as men. At some things, that's true. But not at everything. We women were made to be under men and to be lead by them, not to lead them. It's taught by our society that women are entitled to careers as well as families. We are not taught how to be wives. We are told our families will not survive without our incomes. The truth is that our families will not survive without our love, presence and support. Families need wives and mothers more than they need a second income. There are four- year-old girls in this country wanting to wear high-heeled shoes like Barbie and spandex clothes like the girls in "Married With Children I was told today that only seven percent of all the families in this country have mothers who stay home and raise their children. Only seven percent of the wives in American families are submitting toGod's plan for family structure. I would like to be an asset to my h usba nd. Assets a re not a I ways financial. 1 would like to be his support from beside and beneath him, but never from above. Ultimately, I would like to be an "excellent wife The Word of God says that an excellent wife's "worth is far above jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain (Proverbs 31:10-11). Whatamlgettingat? My point will not make me popular with most women. I don't expect it to. More women, more wives, need to reverently fear God and obey what he says. Wives need to value their husbandsabovecareers and raise children on healthy spiritual food as well as good physical food. Wives and mothers need to teach love, charity, selflessness, meekness, gentleness, kindness and temperance. The Bible says women were made for men. That's hard to swallow because we have been raised on pride and independence. We need to put aside the teachingsof ourcultureand cleave to the truth of Jesus. Culture and tradition changes but God stays the same. His law isa timeless and unchanging standard we need to measure ourselves against. If we measure ourselves against the world's standard, we will believe charm, beauty and pride are our strongest attributes. But God says, "Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised (Prov. 31:30). It's hard to receive council to be submissive. If s hard to place others above ourselves. Yet thaf s what we are told to do. The sacrifice involved in getting married is great. Yet the reward is even greater. The greatest commitment a wife can give her husband is one like Ruth gave to her mother-in-law after her husband had died. She could have returned to her father's home but she begged to stay with the family of her husband. "But Ruth said, 'Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the Lord do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and meRuth 1:16-17). Total love and commitment, commitment to death, is what it takes to be a good wife. If more women realized this, there would be fewer divorces, fewer unhappy husbands and fewer four-year-old girls with television and toys as role models. 8 The East Carolinian, June 6, 1W0 Campus Voice What would you recommend for a budget cut and what is your opinion on the current cuts?

TheWBA will conduct purse bids for the Douglas-Holyfield fight Sunday, une 10 lames Hinns, lawver tor the orld box- ing Association, said at the post- fight news conference. Douglas is fighting a complex legal battle to break a promotional contract with Don King. The fight with McDonagh was much sim- pler.

While the Detroit Pistons are dreaming of another NBA title, the Chicago Bulls are back to mainly daydreaming.

"It was just another game in the playoffs for us Thomas said. "Maybe their youth and inexperi- ence showed. We felt confident coming into the game Michael Jordan, proving that a one-man team isn't enough in the NBA, scored 31 points for the Bulls. But the only other Chicago plaver in double figures was Horace Grant with 10. "Some players didn't play as well as they're capable o, but you have to take your lumps and move on said Jordan, whose chair- kicking temper tantrum wascred- ited with helping the Bulls stave off a sweep after they dropped the first two games. "Maybe the pressure got to us Jordan said. "There was some nervousness. Nobody besides (Bill) Cartwnght has been in this situation. "You could see their killer instinct. They had us back on our heels. They overwhelmed us The Bulls, who shot only 31.1 percent, actually led 19-17 after one quarter. But the Pistons, as they always do, went to their bench. With Mark Aguirre scoring 10 of his 15 points, the Pistons broke the game open in the sec- ond quarter, building a 48-33 halftime lead. The Pistons' bench outscored the Bulls' bench 33-17 in the game and 213-131 during the series.

Valvano agreed toa buyout of his contract on April 7 after un- substantiated allegations, made, ironically by ABC News, that State players had been involved in fixed games. Valvano had also been criti- cized about a lack of academic progress in the program, which wasplaced on probation tor viola- tions involving complimentary tickets and sneakers. He finally agreed to have his liftime contract bought out for $600,000. Dennis Swanson, the presi- dent of ABC Sports, said Valvano will be teamed on basketball tele- casts with Brent Musburger, who recently signed with the network after being let go by CBS the day before he broadcast the NCAA final for that network. Keith Jackson and Dick Vitale will be the other team for ABC, which will carrv college basketball on 11 weekends next season.

"This must be a funeral Howard said, looking at the grim faces of those seated at the front of the room. But the former Tiger coach was wrong. There was no funeral in the president's box at Death Val- ley. TheClemson football program is very much alive. The sentence was light: one year's probation with no other sanctions that would prevent the Tigers from (a) being on televi- sion, (b) going to a bowl or (c) competing for the Atlantic Coast Conference and national titles. To many, it appeared the Tigers got off easy. Clemson offi- cials disputed that, but first-year Coach Ken Hatfield said the deci- sion was "what we've been hop- ing for. "It's not like a first win, but it does give this team an opportu- nity to win this year he said. "Now we'll have the same goals as our opponents. The toughest thing about probation is the atten- tion it draws to you Having feared the worst, Clemson was slapped with less than the minimum sentence for two major violations and six sec- ondary violations. There is still the threat of the so-called death penalty that could seetheClemson football program disbanded for up to two years if another major violation occurs within the next five years. Hatfield said he plans to help make sure that doesn't happen. "It's going to take a serious education program to be sure that nothing takes place in that time to hinder some future student-ath- letes from having the sameoppor- tunities the members on this team have now Hatfield said. "We're operating under a different sce- nario for the next five years. You can't even stub your toe. I don't foresee any problem Hatfield said the NCAA deci- sion not restricting the Tigers from television or a bow! should make his first year at the helm of the premier football program in the Atlantic Coast Conference easier. "I don't think there's any doubt about it he said. "It could havea tremendouseffect. I haven't ever had a team on probation, and I know it's a tougher motivating job when you can't play for a conference championship or go to a bowl Hatfield arrived at Clemson within days of Danny Ford's res- ignation and the NCAA's revela- tion of the charges against the football program. But the con- troversty didn't stop Hatfield from leaving Arkansas ? his alma mater ? to come to a school he'd never been to before. "When 1 got here, there were a lot of allegations he said. "But there's a lot of difference between allegations and the truth Indeed. Clemson was origi- nally charged with 14 rule viola- tions. One of those was later dropped and twoothersamended. The final report by the NCAA Committee on Infractions cited eight rule violations by Clemson, six of which were minor. The two major violations in- volved one player receiving small cash sums from a booster and an unidentified source. One of the major original charges ? 13 alle- gations of illegal recruiting con- tacts ? was dropped. Ford was not named in any of the original allegations, according to the committee. And only one assistant was cited in the final report ? for providing impermis- sible transportation to a recruit. At a news conference Friday in Greenville, Ford said he was notatall worried when theNCAA came calling on Clemson in Au- gust ? or when the NCAA an- nounced in January it was con- ducting an official inquiry. "I think the program was as clean as anybody he said. "When they said they were coming, I said thank goodness. Come on in, NCAA. Show everybody we're running a good shop Ford said that was just what the infraction committee's final report showed. He emphasized that the report cleared himand his coaches. He also said four of the secondary violations involved one See Clemson, page 10 10 The East Carolinian, June 6,1990 Sports Briefs Pistons Sheehan not allowed in tournament Patty Sheehan received quite a shock when she arrived in I lershey, Pa to play in the $3X),(KX) I adv Keystone Open Sheehan was told she never signed the LPGA commitment book and will not be allowed to play in the 54-hole tournament, which begins Friday.
