Domestic violence

By Joey Jenkins
General Manager

likeh to encounter in their life-
tin V
Domestic iolence has also
been called the major health con-
cern ot our time by many sociolo-
gists, and it has earned that title
with such staggering statistics as.
? a won ? sb n every 18
seconds
? 30 pen ent ot all murders in
the United States occur within the

die e.u h v ear from child abuse
Domestic violence is also the
leading cause ?; injury among
vs orrw ? ming more v k tims
than rape- muggings and auto-
mobik .k . idents combined
Judith 1 lenson,a consultant at
the Tidewater Mental Health
Center ot Washington, N.C and a
graduate of the ECU Ginical Psy-
chology masters program said
violence in the family has become
an acceptable norm in our society.
As children we learn through cor-
poral punishment that violence is
a socially acceptable means of
controlling people. Becauseof this
veil ot social acceptance, main ot
the devastating acts of domestic
violence appear routine and rea-
sonable.
According to Henson. the
main reason main victims fail to
see the symptoms of an abusive
household is because the shift
tow ard violent behavior is a grad-
ual one 'We have gradually be-
come desensitized to the symp-
toms of domestic violence Hen
son said. If something happens to
us once, we notice it. If it happens
to us several times, we tend not to
notice
For the husband and to ife, the
shut toward violence usually
manifests itself during their dat-
ing relationship. The range of io-
lenceat this stage ma extend from
such abuses as pathological jeal-
ousy, isolation, manipulation Md
control to verbal abuse, shoving,
slapping or worse. As this rela-
tionship progresses, the amount
and seriousness of the abuse is
like i escalate. The iolence
starts mildlv Henson said, but
once that taboo is broken then it
becomes easier and the violence
grows worse

This summer, young people
in grades seven through 10 will
have a chance to either learn about
computers or explore stles ot
creative writing through Civil
lenge 90 a series ot week long
summer resident camps sponsored
by the Chowan College Division
of Continuing Education and E i
The camp consists ol two ses
sions. The first session, computei

other styles oi creative writing
According to ackieW? eklyof
ECU'S Division of Continuing
Edu ation, different methods will
beused, including perhaps 'going

goal ot the camp is to encourage
voung people to use their imagi-
nations and use diverse writing
styles.
Students will be taught word
processing skills that will be used
to help them to develop a publica-
tion highlighting their work.
"The thing that makes this

Chartered on March 8,1907 as
East Carolina Teachers Training
School, ECU has grown to become
the third largest university in the
state of North Carolina.
The past 82 years have held
much change for this university.
The book titled "East Carolina
University: The Formative Years,
1907-1982" by Mary o Jackson
Bratton chronicles the early his-
tory of the university and was
officially commissioned by former
Chancellor Thomas B. Brewer.
Bratton is a professor of history
here at ECU.
The book divides the history
of ECU into four major segments,
according to the four different
names the school has held over the
years.
During the earliest period,
from 1907-1921, the college was
known as East Carolina Teachers
Training School. According to
Bratton, former governor and
Confederate Army Capt Thomas
Jordan arvis, for whom Jarvis
dormitory was later named, was
the father of ECU. jarvis was "the
state's most prestigious elder
statesman" at the time, and played
a large part in getting the school
started from the legislation to
choosing the kitchen utensils.
The first classes were held on
October 5,1909 in a small, wooden
three-room structure known as
"The little Red Cabin " The first
two-year degrees were awarded
to students on June 8,1911.
In W21. last Carolina was
authorized by the state to award
B.A. degrees, changing the name
to EastCarolina Toacher'sCollege.
ECTC awarded its first B.A. de-
grees in August. 1922. In 1929,
ECTC became M A degree author-
ized and in bMl it became B.S.
degree authorized
ECTC became East Carolina
College in 1951.Throughout this
time, ECC grew to become the third
largest college in the state.
During the late 1960" East
Carolina College began to push
for university statusfromthestate.
During this time, the School of
Business was formed, and the
Sch(ol oi Education was moved
along with the department of
psychology to Speight. It was also
during this time that the idea for a
new medical school was brought
up, an idea for which ECC's then-
President Leo Jenkins worked very
hard.
In 17, ECC gained univer-
sity status and became East Caro-
lina University. In 1972, ECU be-
came a constituent university of
the University of North Carolina,
and a four-year School of Medi-
cine was established in 1974. The
first M.D. degree was conferred in
1982, the same year the Brody
Medical Sciences building was
opened.
In accordance with its pa 5t of
working to always progress, UCU
is now striving to become ? re-
search institution. The first Ph.D.
was conferred here in 1983. Now
the university is working on a new
Ph.D. program in educational lead-
ership.

Causes tor the recent striped

remain unclear, according to
Rulifson. Several possibilities in-
clude pollution, unnatural water
flow caused by dams, and over
fishing bv commercial and recrea-
tional fishermen.
At one time the rockfish were
so plentiful that they provided
fishermen with a major industry.
The rocks and rapids around
Weldon used to sp.irkle and flash
with the stripers Fishermen,
armed with large dipnets known
as "flight nets. came bv the hun-

Violence
For children, growing up in
an abusive household is the norm
because violence is all they have
known; there is little or no percep-
tion oi abnormal behavior.
According to Henson, the
criminal justice system in the
United States today has become
more interested in domestic vio-
lence. Arresting and prosecuting
abusers has shown to be the most
effective means of protecting the
victims and ending the abuse,
Henson said. But, she added, press-
ing such charges and seeking
conviction is "hard to do to some-
one you love
Legislators have also become
sensitive to effects of domestic
i violence on its victims. The N.C.

General Assembly's passage of a
1989 amendment to the Domestic
Violence Statute states that vic-
tims no longer need a lawyer in
order to secure a restraining or
protective order from the courts.
Before the amendment, many vic-
tims found themselves trapped
because they were financially-
dependent upon their abuser and
could not afford a lawyer.
On the average, a victim usu-
ally leaves her abuser 11 times
before the decision is made to end
the relationship. These victims
usually seek refuge in crisis inter-
vention shelters. Henson, who has
worked with battered women for
eight years, said there areapproxi-
mately 58 shelters in North Caro-
lina?among them is New Direc-
tions, based in Greenville (752-
3811).
The focus of these shelters is
two-fold, according to Henson:
safety and making choices. First,
the shelter is a haven trom the
abuse, tension, mental confusion
and ambivalence oi an abusive
relationship. Second, the shelter
offers the victim a chance to re-
group and make rational choices.
The shelters also trv to instill a
sense of independence and power
to the victims through programs
on legal assistance, job skills,
employment, budgeting and com-
munity resources. "We try to show
them that violence is not their
fault Henson said. "And we try
to show them that they do have the
resources in them to live a vio-
lence-free life.

The question must be asked:

At this moment, our magnifi-

used to rationalize vegetarianism.
Instead, Campbell's perspective
has been moulded by a large body
oi research findings made bv his
and other labs for the past 20years
and bv his own interpretation of
the research.
"When wo liHik.U all the things

cently. More oi these things are
being discovered every day. And
if you study any one of these
things, such as beta carotene or
the various plant proteins, and
start asking how it works, what is
the mechanism, then vou begin to
find that there are an extraordi-
nary, virtually infinite, number of
mechanisms involved
Campbell then posed the
question: How in tho world did
we ever get hero1 How did we
develop so many protective
mechanisms that depend on the
consumption oi plant materials?
"We had l have boon constantly
exposed to those materials
throughout our evolution he
says. "For critical periodsorproba-
bly most of our evolution, we must
have boon mainly a vegetarian
species. There's simply no other
way to explain it. Otherwise, na-
ture would not have had the op-
portunity to lav down all these
mechanisms tor us. 1 discussed
this with one of the leading an-
thropologists in the country and
he basically conceded that this was
quite plausible
When I asked Campbell
whether ho thought tho studv.

admitted that he had until re-
cently, been highlv pessimistic
about Americans' capacity to

to many people and is "more

well begin to make the change
Again, however, there's so much
diffuse information on diet and
specific nutrients that people oas-
ilv got confused and over-
whel mod. Ca mpbell prefers to sa v
simply, Fat mostly plant foods
Ho believes this whole foods
approach is so much more tan-
giMeand accessible to people. "Its
a message they can trulv under-
stand. Of course, what vou hap-
pen to like in the way ol plant
foods is going to differ from what
1 may like, and that's fine But it
still gives them a lot of choice
The fact that food is such a
personal issue may be one reason
a major paradigm shift hasn't yet
happened. Biases affect scientists
too. "Thescienbfic community, the
people who operate within the
scientific profession, happen to be
human beings says Campbell.
"Thev have prettv much the same
biases toward foodl that every-
one else has. They like to think
that they're more rational, and I
can assure you that this is not true.
In fact, in some instances they're
less rational than, sav, someone
who knows not so much . We can
learn from the Chinese bv seeing
how the whole way of lite, how-
ever simple, is promoting their
health
Much of the public informa-
tion on diet, Campbell vivs, is
sponsored bv the meat and dairy
industries, which annually spend
vast amounts of money on adver-
tising and education, including
pamphlets, booklets, and fivers
into school programs. The tobacco
industry probably spends more
than both of those combined.
Public thinking has been clearly
shaped by this advertising blitz
Campbell savs that even scientists
get caught up in the mass brain-
washing effect. These authorities
become, in Campbell's words,
"afraid to be bold and come right
outand say what they really think.
In some cast's thev won't do the
research that may counteract this
thinking We're all subject to the
subliminal advertising bv those
who would like to control or
manipulate our way of thinking
so that thev mav profit
Another problem concerns the
wavs in which government at the
local, state and t deral levels op-
erates m formul. ang policv and
delivering educational and re-
source-programs. !t is unclear who
is responsible for ensuring the
safety and wholesomeness of our
foods. In some cases, it is the
Department of Agriculture, while
in others, the Food and Drug
Administration. In still others it is
the EPA who oversees aspects of
food safety

Wells found to contain nitrates
FAYETTEV1LLE (AP)
Some water wells tested in 1 loke

to have high levels of nitrates, and
the Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice warns families with babies to
have their wells tested.
The Agricultural Extension
Service studied 4,600 wells in 15

in Sampson County were found
to have unsafe levels ol nitrates
Put in the Sandhills counties

to the study.
Dr. Greg ennings, an assis-

the high nitrate level is caused by
thearea'ssandy soil, which makes
it easier for contamination to seep
into groundwater.

"We'll start off with a two-

good ideas to incorporate here in

Upon their return, the 13
scholars will write a book about
the practices thev observe, a book
that Dr. Charles Coble,dean of the
ECU School of Education, hopes
will influence the way science
teachers are trained in this coun-

three trips to Japan have convinced

Movie sound tracks can be big

box office.
Soundtracks from Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Pretty
Woman" are racing up the pop
chartsalong with singles that were
pulled from them. A recent issue
of Billboard reported each had sold
at least a million copies.
The Turtle tunes are mostly
silly dance-rap ditties, but "Pretty
Woman" has some striking pop
and rock numbers including

( Vcasionallv. a flop film will
generate a hit single or two. 1 he
latest example is TrueLove ohn
Savles' romantic comedy that
came out last fall. Both the movie
and the record were quietlv re-
leased. I he movie soon disap-
peared from theaters but RCA
Records managed to get two hit
singles trom the soundtrack, in-
cluding the snappy "Whole Wide

An Ideal Viezv
Summer students receive long awaited recognition
By Caroline Cusick
Features Editor
Isn't summer school fun.
Really now, 1 can't think of any-
thing I would rather do with
Way through August. Can you?
I love to be here in Green-
ville. And more than that, 1 love
to be art ECU. And more than
that, 1 love to work tor The East
Carolinian. And more than that.
I love to attend classes.
1 especially love to spend
several hours shivering in cold
buildings while outside the sun
is shining, the bees are buzzing
and people not attending classes
are sunning themselves, bronz-
ing their bodies, in the heat of
the season.
Asa tribute to the grandeur
of Summer Sessions I and 11,1
would like to dedicate my col-
umn to the bravest of all stu-
dents, the summer session stu-
dents.
You, like myself, have cho-
sen the road less traveled. You
have chosen the road full of
thistles and thorns, the road
overgrown with weeds and the
road of headaches and heart-
aches.
Summer students are cre-
ated. No one was born to attend
summer school. Who or what
created the need for students in
the Summer, I'm not sure. Nev-
ertheless, I have a few theories
Mv first suspect tor lite crea-
tion ot summer students is the
ECU Traffic office. If summer
students were not here, they
would be idleness.
Fhe end of the spring semes-
ter stirs the ECU police force
into a panic. They prowl and
cower, lurking in dark recesses
of parking lots to pounce upon
unsuspecting vehicles with driv-
ers who are late for classes. A
complete lack of students dur-
ing the summer months would
render this fine police force fi-
nancially devastated.
My second suspect is the fac-
ulty. Not all of them, )iist the
type who assign ten-page term
papers on Friday to be due the
following Monday. Thev are
demented individuals who
thriveonthesufferingsand pains
of students. When students ask
for extensions on projects or
delayed test dates, these profes-
sors cackle with glee and move
deadlines up instead of back
saving, "Well kiddies, this is
what real life is all about
Mv final suspect is the body
of university administrators as a
whole. To single out any indi-
vidual would deprive him or her
of the glory that is due Thus, I
credit them all. Those adminis-
trators are the ones who deter-
mine how many credits we must
accumulate to obtain a diploma
from this institution of higher
learning.
Surely they could see that a
normal education in college
takes 4 years to earn. Yet they
have ordained a system oi keep-
ing students here at ECU work-
ing for their undergraduate
degrees for 5, 6, 7 and 8 years.
Thev want students to come
back year after year, semester af-
ter semester, and decade after
decade to earn those 1,296 cred-
its necessary for the dawning of
a square hat and a si 11 black
robe.
Whv would thev want to
keep us here? The answer is
simple ? TUITION. Our atten-
dance and our tuition keeps them
employed. If there were no stu-
dents, there would be no univer-
sity. If there were no university,
there would be no administra-
tors.
If students were not in school
during the summer months, they
would not need to be here. If
thev were not working, they
probably wouldn't get paid.
Thus continues my tribute
to the bravest of all in the realm
of education, the summer school
students.
You come to school to at-
tend classes every day. There is
no time to catch up on real life
between class days. No time is
given to complete assignments
outside of class. Classes are
scheduled back to back.
To complete homework or
to study, you. the student, must
sacrifice sleep and nourishment
to stay up-to-date with readings
and notes.
Classes last forever Long
gone are the days of one hour
classes. During summer school,
students are forced to listen to
the endless, mindless recitals of
facts and figures. Yet, students
bear all. They suffer and sur-
vive. They persevere and endure.
Hail to the student, brave yet
exhausted, intelligent yet virtu-
ally brain dead.
And Hail to the institution
which brings us one day closer
to admission into an institution.

USA loses to Czechoslovakia
5-1 in first game of World Cup
R( All (AP It was an ugly
performance by the United 'states.
nearly as ugly as the clashes be-
tween tans and police in two Ital-
ian cities.
The soccer has been superb,
tor the most part, with West ler-
many putting on the best display
Sunday, rhe Germans, one ol the
favorites tor tie World Cup,
routed Yugoslav ia 4-1.
The Americans, probablv the
biggest longshot in the tourna-
ment, made their first World Cup
game in 40 years a forgettable one
with a 5-1 loss to Czechoslovakia.
It could have been worse.
The worst performances of the
dav, however, were made by the
English-speaking fans in Cagliari,
on the island of Sardinia, and the
German tans who confronted
police in Milan.
Late Sunday night, on the eve
ot the England-Ireland game,
English-speaking fans were eon-
fronted by police in Cagliari after
a woman was hit on the head by a
thrown bottle. Riot police wield-
ing batons waded into the crowd,
and at least three young men were
taken away in police cars.
Fans ot both teams packed
bars, ordering beers before a
midnight ban on the sale ot alco-
holic beverages ttxk effect.
()n Friday, street violence led
to the arrest of 14 English tans
there
In Milan, at least seven people
were injured and 20 were taken
into custody, police said.
Croups of fans, apparently
drunk despite a ban on alcohol
sales, smashed windows oi shops
.m cars along the street. Hun-
dreds of not police rushed to the
area after reports of confrontations
between West Germans and Yu-
goslavs.
Tolice then clashed with the
row dies near Milan's well-known
Duomo cathedral square.
Meanwhile. Verona police
reported that 13 West German
supporters wcrearre "d.C K.
of violence and van lalism
were tiled against 55 others fol-
lowing several disturbances earl v
Sunday morning along Lake
Garda.
i he violence away from the
stadiums has taken some ot the
gloss off what was a spectacular
opening weekend. From
Cameroon's startling victory over
defendingchampion Argentina in
the opener Friday night to
Romania's upset of the Soviet
Union on Saturday; from West
(lermany'spowerful play and the
excitement of Brazil's2-1 winover
Sweden, it was a sensational first
three days ot soccer.
Except, ot course, tor the
Americans.
"Everyone said we would
lose, and we did lose U.S. cap-
tain Michael Windischmann said.
'We've got to come out in these
next two games and show that we

Georgia takes College World Series title,
first win for a Southern Conference team
By Rusty Hampton
Gannett News Service
Georgia's 2-1 championship
game victory over Oklahoma State
Saturday was watched by a
Rosenblatt Stadium crowd of
16,482, the largest ever to attend a
College World 'series title game.
The total attendance for 13
CWS games also was a record:
138,426.
Several other records were
broken or tied during the 44th
CWS.
Georgia's victory marked the
first national baseball title for the
Southeastern Conference. Led bv
the tournament's most outstand-
ing player, pitcher Mike Kebhan,
the Bulldogs also set a team record
for the lowest earned run average
11.40) for a championship team.
Kebhan, a senior right-han-
der, beat top-seeded Stanford
twice, 16-2 with a five-hitter and
5-1 with a six-hitter. He gave up
two earned runs in 18 innings.
Although they got just five
hits in the championship game,
Oklahoma State's hitters set a
record for highest team batting
average (.349).
C ieorgiaand Mississippi State
tied a record for scoring 11 runs in
an inning. Georgia did it in its 16-
2 win over Stanford. Mississippi
State did it in a 15-1 victory over
Georgia Southern.
Joining Rebhan on the all-
tournament team were Bulldog
pitcher Dave Fleming and first
baseman Doug Radziewicz. I he
rest ot the team: Oklahoma State
catcher Michael Daniel, Stanford
second baseman Troy Paulsen.

Krzyzewski turns down position with
Celtics, decides to stay with Duke
DURHAM, N.C (AP) ? Af-
ter a week vi talks with head offi-
cials of the Boston Celtics, Duke
basketbailcoach Mike Krzyzewski
said he had turned down the NBA
coaching ob
"I have withdrawn my name
from consideration for the Boston
Celtics coaching position
Krzyzewski said in a two para-
graph statement released this
morning through the school's
sports information department.
"I appreciate the opportunity
to talk to the Celtics about the job
and I appreciate Duke University
allowing me to do so. I have made
the decision to remain at Duke
Krzyzewski planned no news
conference, the school said.
A power struggle between
Boston president Red Auerbach
and Dave Gavitt, the team's new
director of basketball operations,
played a significant role in
Krzyzewski's decision, a source
close to the Celtics told The News
athl Obsciver of Raleigh.
Gavitt, hired by the Celtics
less than two weeks ago, wanted
Krzyzewski for the job. But Auer-
bach, the most successful coach in
NBA history, vigorously opposed
plans to hire a coach with no pro-
fessional playing or coaching
experience.
"That is stupid Auerbach
said today in reference to the
power struggle. "It just shows the
stupiditv of some reporters. It's
absolutely stupid. There is no
credence to it at all.
"What we did was go into a
lengthy discussion about the job,
what it entailed, so on and so
forth Auerbach said. "We never
got down to the nitty gritty. He
(Krzyzewski) said he was going
back to think about it. And if he
had the interest, we were inter-
ested
Krzyzewski, Duke'scoach for
the past 10 years, informed the
Celtics and Duke athletics direc-
tor Tom Butters of his decision
before noon Thursday.
Krzyzewski met for most of
Wednesday with Auerbach in
Washington and left the talks
convinced that he could not ac-
cept a job offer from Gavitt.
Auerbach balked at Gavitt's
desire to hire Krzyzewski and
most of the Celtics players, par-
ticularly those who have been with
the franchise for more than a dec-
ade, favor the hiring of assistant
Chris Ford as Boston's new coach.
With Krzyzewski out of the
picture, Ford becomes the leading
candidate for the top job.
"Dave's been hung out to dry
his first time out of the box an
NBA source told the newspaper.
"There's loose footing every-
where. Don't be surprised if he
(Gavitt) resigns. He's been lied to
in a big way
Neither Gavitt, 52, nor

season record for most base on

In ls8?, Overtoil's fifth year
as head coach, the baseball team
won its second CAA champion-
ship in three years. Along with the
37 wins, ECU set another team
season record witha 15-game win-
ning streak. Overtoil's pitching
staff also finished third in the
nation with a 2.98 earned run
average.
During the 1990 campaign,
Overton coached the Pirates to a
brilliant 47-9 overall record and
another CAA crown to go along
with it. Winning back-to-back
CAA championships was
Overtoil's proudest moment dur-
ing his six vears at FCU.
"The goal of .mv team is to
win the conference (CAA) Over-
ton said. "Winning the conference
again gives me great sense oi ac-
complishment
The 1990 baseball season also
featured a school history record of
47 victories with only nine de-
feats During the season, the Pi-
rates won 10 games in a row be-
fore losing to UNC Asheville.
ThisseasonthcPiratesdemol-
ished the Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence with eight wins in 10 games.
If the ACC has ever gained the
respect for the ECU baseball pro-
gram, it was this season.
"The ACC, for many years,
has respected the ECU program
Overton said. "After this season,
there is more respect
In fact, Ovcrton said that
NCAA announced the ACC was
the second toughest baseball con-
ference in the country. And beat-
ing those teams (Duke, Virginia,
North Carolina State and Univer-
sity of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill), reflects the quality of the
ECU baseball program.
Overtoil's two losses against
the ACC occured when the Vir-
ginia Cavaliers topped the Pirates
9-6 in Virginia. The second loss
came against the Wolfpack in the
NCAA tournament, which ended
ECU'S hopes of advancing to the
1990 College World Series.
"It was very disappointing
because we didn't come to play
Ovcrton said. "A great baseball
season had ended for us
Although the ACC may beone
of the top programs in the nation,
Overton has no plans to coach in
the conference.
"It would take a very attrac-
tive package from the ACC to lure
me away from ECU, " Overton
said. "Thereisoneimportant thing
I have here at ECU ? loyalty
Not only was Overton's team
successful against the ACC, the
ECU baseball squad pounded all
teams in the CAA. During the
season, the Pirates recorded an
impressive 11 -2 record in theCAA.
The two losses came against the
George Mason Patriots and the
University of North Carolina at
Wilmington Scahawks. Against
the Patriots, the Pirates lost a heart-
breaking 5-4 defeat at home in the
ninth inning. The only Seahawk
victory against ECU was a 7-3 win
at Wilmington against starting
pitcher John White.
After the regular season,
Overtoil led his team to the CAA
crown with victoriesover William
and Mary, James Madison and
George Mason.

court advantage with a 106-105
overtime win Thursday night in
Auburn Hills, Mich Detroit hadn't
won in Portland since Oct. 19,1974,
and the Blazers were 9-0 at home
in the plavoffs. They hoped to win
their first title since 1977 without
heading back East.
Now, if they don't return to
Detroit, they'll lose the scries.
"If you're ever going to break
a 17-year streak, or whatever it is,
his is the place and time to do it
Detroit coach Chuck Daly said.
Directors
"We were in a precarious situ-
ation, but now we've got a chance
to go back home and win
"We really wanted this game
because we hadn't lost any at
home, but we didn't assert our-
selves on the defensive end
Kersey said. "You can't afford not
to get something out of your of-
fensive possessions, especially if
you can't get it done defensively
Trailing 22-16, the Pistons
went on a 15-3 rim that made the
score 31-25 with 29 seconds left in
the first quarter. The closest the
Blazers came after that was three
points. They trailed 58-51 at
halftime and never came closer
than seven after that.
Dumars made sure of that. He
had 13 points in the third quarter,
on two 3-pointers and seven free
throws, as Detroit took a 90 82
lead into the fourth
The Blazers missed their first
five shots and turned theballover
three times in the first 330 of the
fourth quarter, enabling the Pis-
tons to start the period with an ft-
0 run for a 98-82 lead. The closest
Portland got after that was 109-98
with 3:15 left.
"From the very beginning, we
did not come out with enough
enthusiasm Drexler said
Without Rodman, the Pistons
played an even more physical style
than normal That drew com-
plaints from the Blazers, who were
called for 38 fouls to 2r for Detroit.

what they have to do
While the topics to be dis-
cussed are weighty, Florida State
athletic director Bob Coin said he
doesn't anticipate lengthy debates
or differences of opinion to de-
velop.
"I t'sreallv non-controversial
he said.
One topic Coin said won't be
discussed, formally anyway, are
the rampant reports of conference
expansion. A recent report by the
World Cup
Alabama journal said Florida State
? a football independent and a
member of the Metro basketball
conference ? has been invited to
join the Southeastern Conference.
The report also said Arkan-
sas, a member of the Southwest-
ern Conference was being consid-
ered .
"This is not that type of ve-
hicle Goin said of the conven-
tion. "If I'm sitting in a room with
an athletic director from the Big
Ten or theother conferences, what
am I going to talk about? The
agenda calls tor us to study re-
forms that affect overs' oneof these
