Two occurrences of attempted
rape in June; suspects caught
By Michelle Castellow
Staff Writer
Two suspects have been ar-
rested and charged with attempted
rape following separate incidents
occurring in the first week of June
on the ECU campus, according to
a source at ECU Public Safety.
Shon Stocks, 17, a Greenville
resident has been charged with
attempted rape and assault on
female; and Nadiem Al-Awar, a
student at ECU has been charged
with attempted rape of a resident
of Jarvis Residence Hall, accord-
ing to Lieutenant Rhonda J. Gurley
of the ECU Public Safety.
Stocks allegedly committed
two offenses on two females dur-
ing the afternoon of June 1, while
Al-Awar allegedly attempted to
rape a female in her dorm room on
June 7.
Gurlev, who is with Public
Safety's investigation division, has
been accredited with the arrest of
the two suspects.
According to Gurley, at ap-
proximately 2:50 p.m. on June 1,
an ECU staff member was walk-
ing near the intersection of 9th
Street and Lawrence when she was
approached bv a young black male
riding a mctalic blue mountain
bicycle. He rode past her several
times before he came up behind
her and grabbed her on the but-
tocks
Then he proceeded to ride off
toward Mendenhall Student Cen-
ter. The staff member was fright-
ened by the incident and went
directly to the ECU department of
Public Safety where she gave a
statement and discription to the
dispatcher, Gurley said. The staff
member discribed the suspect's
clothing and stated that he was of
a slender build but she did not get
a clear view of his facial features.
During the victim's interview
with Gurley, a phone call came in
concerning an assault on a female
at theampitheaterbehind Fletcher
Residence Hall. The discription of
the suspect in both cases matched.
The second victim, a 20 year old
ECU student, was sunbathing
when she was awakened by the
suspect touching her groin area,
according to Gurlev.
She sat up abruptly and started
to scream for help when he reached
out and tore off her swim suit
bottom. The suspect then pro-
ceeded to flee the scene on his
bicycle after a male resident of
Fletcher observed the incident and
yelled.
Both the ECU staff member
and the student agreed to give
details for a composite photo-
graph. From their discretions,
Gurlev formed a composite draw-
ing of which lames Tripp, a Green-
ville police officer, later identified
as resembling a black juvenile
male. The suspect, oneShon Stocks,
was notorious for this kind of ac-
tivity, according to Gurley.
On Monday morning, Gurley
obtained a photo from the Pitt
County Sheriff's Department and
formed a photo lineup of six black
males with the same basic facial
characteristics. While compiling
the photos, Gurley received a call
from another ECU officer at the
Pitt County Court House. He in-
formed Gurley that Stocks was
appearing in court that day on
other charges. Immediately, Lieu-

Program gives students
taste of medical school
By Tonia Andres
Staff Writer
A summer program at the
ECU's Medical School is allowing
future doctors to have a taste of
their own medicine.
Under the auspices of the
Center for Student Opportunities,
the eight-week Summer Program
for Future Doctors gives an inten-
sive preview for premedical stu-
dents who are minority andor
financially disadvantaged.
One aim of the Center is to
increase the number of doctors

Any woman is a
potential victim
By Michelle Castellow
Staff Writer
Warm weather brings out the
the best in some people and the
worst in others. During the sum-
mer months, more people are out
and about. Therefore, the sum-
mer months should be a time of
precaution and prevention. Fe-
males, especially, should be well
informed on important facts con-
cerning issues of rape and sexual
assault
Sexual assault involves any
type of forced sexual activity, in-
cluding physical as well as men-
tal, emotional, or manipulative
force, against a persons will or
without consent. Any woman is a
potential victim, and attackers are
of all types. They may be of any
race, appearance, age or social
standing, so all women should be
conscious and knowledgeable oi
all potentially dangerous situ-
ations.
Lieutenant Keith Knox of
ECU's Crime Prevention Division
offers these startling facts which
everyone should be aware of.
� One in four college at some
point are victims of rape or sexual
assault.
� 84 percent of all rape victims
are acquainted with their attacker.
� 57 percent of these involve
date rape.
� In the United States one
female is sexually assaulted every
six minutes.
� 90 percent of all acquain-
tance or date rapes involve the
misuse of alcoholic beverages.
� Only about 15 percent of all
rapes are reported to the police.
Knox stresses the importance
of knowing the facts about rape
prevention and offers these tips
for protection against sexual as-
sault.
� Be alert of your surround-
ings. Use the buddy system when

Dr. E. L. Henderson dies at 105
ByMichelle Walker
Staff Writer
Dr. E. L. Henderson, the old-
est former professor and adminis-
trator of ECU, died at age 105 at
Pitt County Memorial Hospital on
June 17.
In 1923, Henderson joined the
staff of then East Carolina Teach-
ers College. He served as first
chairman of the educational ad-
ministration and supervision pro-
gram, and also of the department
of administration and supervision
in the School of Education. He
directed the student teaching pro-
gram as well.
During a campus controversy
that led to the trial of President
Leon Meadows on embezzlement
charges, Hendersonand fiveother
�faculty members were dismissed
for "disloyalty" in 1944, just
months before he was to retire.
Meadows was convicted and even
though many students and The
Daily Reflector were on
Henderson's side, he never re-
turned to teach. He did, however,
receive pay for the months entitled
to him before his retirement.
It was not until the early 1980s
that Henderson's name was offi-
cially cleared. Dr. Charles Coble,
current dean of the School of
Education and long-time friend of
Henderson, brought his case to
the attention of then chancellor Dr.
John Howell.
"The evidence I saw was clear
and 1 decided that Henderson had
not been treated fairly Howell
said.
In 1983, Henderson's faculty
status was restored and Howell
gave him the rank of professor-
emeritus. Howell said he thought
Henderson hadn't pursued the
case back in 1944 because he was
so close to retiring and he did re-
ceive his remaining pay, and also
Meadows had gone to jail.
"The case was somewhat for-
gotten Howell said that every-
body back then was on his side
anyway and giving him profes-
sor- emeritus rank was more a
gesture than anything else.
Henderson wasa nativeof Hill
County, Texas. He received his
undergraduate degree at the Uni-
versity oi Texas and graduate
degrees in secondary education
and educational administration
from Columbia University. He
lived in Greenville a few blocks
from the ECU campus and re-
mained active in the community
asa Mason until a few monthsago.
From his 98th year on, he cele-
brated his birthday with friends in
the ECU school of Education. His
wife, several years his junior, died
within davsof his hundredth birth-
duv. Howell said that everybody
liked Henderson.
"He was a remarkable person.
He remained very positive and
active up until his last days; we
could all trv to be a little more like
him
Parking fines go on the rise
area where the Medical School is
already one of the nation's leader.
ECU had the highest percent-
age of minorities entered in the
1988-89yearofall medical schools
in North Carolina, according to
The New Physician, April 1989. ECU
ranked ninth in the nation in 1988-
89 for the highest percentage of
minorities enrolled in tradition-
ally non-minority medical schools.
In this summer program there
are 16 blacks, 5 whites, 2 Asians
and 1 American Indian. In theclass
of 24 there are 15 females, which is
very unusual according to the
program's staff.

Illegal parkers on the ECU
campus next fall may be fuming
after finding that dreaded pink
ticket wedged under the wind-
shield wiper blade.
On August 1, fines imposed
by Public Safety for a multitude of
parking and traffic violations will
be i ncreased. The la test rise i n f i nes,
approved in the last meeting of the
Traffic & Parking Committee, is
the second such hike in two years.
The across the board increase
includes jumps ranging from $5 to
$35. Offenses such as jaywalking
and unregistrated bicycle will
carry a $10 fine, the smallest on the
list. The penalty for parking in a
handicapped-only slot becomes a
$50 fine, a more than tripling of the
present $15 violation.
Other pertinent new fine fees
are as follows; unregistered ve-
hicle, $35 - a $15 hike; freshmen
sticker violation, $25, parking in a
no parking area, $25, parking in
the wrong zone, $15. All others
will see at least a $5 boost.
The jump was instituted by
the committee as an alternative to
raising parking stickers for which
students, faculty and staff pur-
chase for specific lots, according to
Pat Gertz, the assistant director of
public safety and a member of the
parking board.
"Before rising the decal fee,
we decided that the person who
illegally parks should experience
an increase Gertz said.
Although the fine hike will
help to alleviate the shinking park-
ing revenues, it will not prevent
the unevitable, Gertz said refer-
ring to the enluctability of sticker
increasesin the near future. Sticker
prices should see a jump by 1991,
Gertz said. Revenues from decals
and fines revert back to the park-
ing and traffic fund to pay for
personnel and aid in the purchase
of new land for potential parking.
Presently, sticker prices at
ECU are the lowest of the three
largest universities in the state with
a $50 annual fee for students, fac-
ulty and staff wishing to park on
campus.
At the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill(UNC-CH)
and North Carolina State Univer-
sity (NCSU), parking stickers can
cost as high as $210 per annuam
for premium parking slots. Finge
parking - slots in a remote section
of the campus - are the lowest
priced parking decal at NCSU with
a yearly fee of $78.
Gertz did point out that bi-
cycle registration is free at Public
Safety for those students who wish
to escape the escalating costs of
parking all together.

Patients to receive care at new clinic
Patients with muscular dystrophy will be able to receive clinicil
and follow-up care specific to their disease at a new outpatient clinic
established by the department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
at the ECU School of Medicine and Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the clinic, which will be housed in
the Regional Rehabilitation Center at Pitt Memorial, will be held June
21 at 10 a.m. Officials from the ECU medical school, Pitt County
Memorial Hospital, the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the City
of Greenville and Pitt County governments will participate.
The clinic'sestablishment at the medical center provides a third site
for muscular dystrophy patients living in North Carolina to receive
services which range from medical evaluation to respiratory, physical
and occupational therapy. Other clinics in the state are located at Duke
University Medical Center in Durham and North Carolina Memorial
Hospital in Chapel Hill. The ECU clinic will operate one day per month.
"Theclinic here is patterned after others supported by the Muscular
Dystrophy Association said Dr. John Eisele, co-director of the clinic
and a specialist in physical rehabilitation. 'The new clinic will incorpo-
rate thorough diagnoses and evaluation for this complex disease, a
strong collaborative research component, and a linkage to community
agencies needed by muscular dystrophy patients and their referring
physicians.
A $12,51X1 grant has been awarded to the clinic by the Muscular
Dystrophy Association for development of the clinic's program.
ECU trustees to have short meeting
An abbreviated schedule for the quarterly meeting of the ECU
board of trustees July 13 has been arranged to fit the university's
summer energy-saving schedule. The board will meet at 10 a.m. Friday
morning and end its session by 11:30 a.m when the campuses close for
the weekend to save utilities costs.
The four and a half-day per week schedule has been in effect since
May 14. ECU employees work a 40 hour week by reporting at 7:30 a.m.
Monday through Friday and having a half hour lunch break.
Trustee committees on athletics, development and finance and
facilities are scheduled prior to the full board meeting July 13. On July
12, trustees, spouses and guests will have a social and dinner at the
Chancellor's residence and attend an ECU Summer Theatre production
of "The Cocktail Hour

States given new powers on abortion
The Supreme Court, in a splintered decision, gave states new
powers limiting teen-age girls' access to abortions. The court by a 6-3
vote upheld an Ohio law requiring one parent be notified before a
female 18 or younger be allowed to have an abortion. In a separate ?-4
ruling, the court rejected a Minnesota law requiring notification of both
biological parents.
Right to die limited by 6-3 vote
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 vote, gave the state of Missouri the
right to stop the Cruzan family from withdrawing tubes to end their
daughter's life. If Nancy Cruzan would have made her wishes clear
while still competent, her parents could have disconnected life support
systems. The court said the state is entitled to guard against potential
abuses in such situations.
Federal agents raid public housing
Federal agents in four cities Monday raided public housing units of
suspected drug dealers, but could not go ahead with plans to evict the
tenants due to a federal court order that requires there be a hearing
before eviction. U.S. marshals served notices of intent to seize leases
under a 1988 federal law that allowsevictionsof suspected drug dealers
even without a conviction.
Judge rules on booby trap case
A Denver judge rejected an agreement to keep Philip Connaghan
out of jail for reckless manslaughter in settinga shotgun booby trap that

Along with summertime and warm
weather comes the threat of poison ivy
By Ralph Gilliland
Peer Health Educator
Summertime is here which
brings people outdoors to enjoy
the warm weather. Unfortunately,
it also brings many into contact
with poison ivv.
Poison ivy plants thrive in
areas that are warm and humid in
the summer. In order to avoid
andor treat poison ivy infection
it is important to recognize the
plant, and be aware of recom-
mended prevention and treatment
meth(xls.
Being able to recognize the
poison ivy plant is the kev to
avoidance. In eastern states poi-
son ivv has three leaflets which
.ire smooth edged.
Generally, poison ivy can be a
shrub, ground cover, or woody
vine covered with hairy aerial
rootlets
Poison ivy enjoys sun and is
most common on floodplains.
bottomlands, and along edges of
forest and road wa vs. In the spring,
young leaves appear red and
glossy but in summer they turn
green.
An allergic reaction can be
brought on by both direct and
indirect exposure to poison ivy.
First, direct methods of expo-
sure from poison ivv are brought
about by touching anv part oi the
poison ivy, plant roots, leaves or
flowers.
indirect methods which bring
on an allergic reaction from poi-
son ivyarccontact with pets, cloth-
ing, and the smoke from burning
ivy plants.
If you are exposed to poison
ivy, an itchy rash mayappear, and
in a matter of five to hours vou
may experience a painful, persis-
tent, and irritating itch accompa-
nied by blisters. These blisters
contain urushiol which is a com-
bination of skin-irntating chemi-
cals found in the plant's sticky-
sap. The oozing blisters can re-
main for up to two to three weeks.
Theability to recognize symp-
toms of an allergic reaction from
exposure to poison ivv will help
lead to a fast, effective recovery
The symptoms of poison ivy
include: redness and minor swill-
ing, blisters, bumps and bubbles
and itching.
If suffering from an allergic
reaction from exposure to poison
ivy the following treatment meas-
ures must be taken immediately
or relief. The sooner treatment
starts for poison ivy, the better.
Handle clothes and shoes
carefully until you have had a
chance to wash them.
Use of soap is not recom-
mended. It can spread urushiol
over the skin.
Apply herbal teas to the rash,
not to open sores. Add oatmeal to
a bath. Flush with clod water.
Bathe in hot water. Applv aloe
vera gel. Flush with vinegar.
The best way to ensure your-
self of not becoming exposed to
the poison ivy plant is through
proper prevention measures.
Avoidanceof the ivv plant is most
important. In doing so, the ability
to recognize the plant's physical
characteristics and know its ta.
vorite places of habitat is a n
sity.
On the other hand, for th,y
unfortunateoneswhoareexpt
to poison ivy, proper treatment
methods listed should by put int.
action as soon as possible in order
to east the painful, persisting, and
irritating itch of poison ivy

High schoolers gain interest in science careers
KCU News Bureau
Eighteen high school students
are it Ft 11 tor a special two-week
program to encourage their inter
est in careers m st left) e
The rising 10th graders, all
minority students from Pitt
County, are participating in the
BCU Science Track Enhancement
Program (s.T.Il). In the program
the Students tfe working individu-
ally with ECU faculty who teach
and conduct research in such ar-
eas as biologv, marine science and
medicine.
"ECU faculty from several
several science areas sefVC as
mentors to the students said Dr.
Mary Ann Rose, assistant to the
Chancellor for special assign
ments. Dr. Rose helped to develop
and initiate the program at ECU
five years ago.
"The students are assigned to
work with a mentor because a
canngand inspiringindividualcan
often make thedifferencebetween
pursuing or abandoning a career
choice she said
"When mentors adopt stu
dents for the two week period, we
believe there is a greater likeli-
hood of the students pursuing
science and mathematics careers
she said
All but three of the first 20
students participating in the pro
gram fi ve yea rs ago wi 11 be a ttend -
ing college next fall. ECU will
continue to follow the students to
see if they pursue careers in sci-
ence.
Students chosen for the pro-
gram were recommended bv guid-
ance counselors in the Pitt county
Schools, who submitted names of
students to participate in the pro-
gram I he final 18 were chosen
from this group.
The students spend six to
seven hoursa day in their assigned
duties.
"One thing that is different
about this program is that wedon't
seek the gifted and talented stu-
dents said Dr. Christine Fitch,an
instructor in the ECU School of
Education and the director of
STEP.
"We're look for the average
student who has potential she
said.
"The students experience the
practical side of the pbs and learn
that these jobs are not just glam-
our she said. "They arc exposed
to the nuts and bolts of the field of
science
Some of the students have been
assigned to work with medical
doctors in the School of Medicine.
Othersare working :n the Institute
for Coastal and Marine Resources,
the Department of Biology and in
the Department of Chemistry.
In addition, they attend eve-
ning seminars on topics dealing
with self-esteem, career choices,
job expectations, job performance
and behavior, and money man-
agement. Later this summer the
students will visit some other col-
lege campuses in the state as well.
"We're very encouraged with
the results we've seen so far said
Dr. Rose. "We feel like we've raised
their aspirations for college by
exposing them to a university set-
ting and we believe many of these
young people will be selecting
careers in science because of the
experiences they've had with our
doctors and scientists here at

The second incident involv-
ing Al-A war occurred on June 7,at
approximately 2:30 a.m. at Jarvis
dorm, according to Gurley. In this
case, both the victim and suspect
were acquainted and lived in the
larvis Earlier that night, Al-Awar
and the victim had spoken at
Bogie's Night Club but she left the
downtown establishment early
because she was intoxicated, ac-
cording to Gurley
Shortly after 2 am, she re-
ceived a knock at her door. The
alledged perpetrator was one
Nadiem Al-Awar. Gurley stated
that Al-Awar "slithered" into the
victim's room, closed and locked
the door, and began kissing and
fondling the victim.
Gurley said that according to
the victim, he then pushed her
down on the bed, and although
she was resistmgdunng the whole
incident, proceeded to forcefully
remove her undergarments
against her will. A knock at the
door halted Al-Awar temporarily,
but he told her not to answer it.

The victim stated that if she

Dr. Metcalf said.
The "Future Doctor" summer
program is aimed to bring stu-
dents to the ECU medical school to
see it tor themselves. They have
the opportunity to prepare and
improve their background for
medical school.
The initial planning started in
1976 and the funding for the
medical program came in 1978.
The federal government deter-
mines eligibility for the program
since it puts in most of the money.
Burroughs-WeUcome also helps
out on a local level. Eligibility for
the disadvantaged students is
determined by their SAT scores
andor their economic status.
Dr. Metcalf said that thev are
not only increasing representation
of minorities but in doing so are
contributing in fulfilling oneof the
missions of the medical school,
which is to provide medical edu-
cation opportunities to minorities.
Dr. Metcalf said, "We feel we are
making a very strong and positive
contribution to the ECU medical
school
" There is a limited applicant
pool because there are more black
college age men in jail than in
school. Thereare also limited funds
available for their medical educa-
tion Dr. Metcalf said. The small
numbersof mi nontiesin medicine
involve many other factors.
Smaller pools may be related
to culturally biased tests, although
not intentional, are very challeng-
ing to the minority student. There
Prevention
are a lack of sufficient role models
and mentors for minorities in the
medical field. "There are so many
educational opportunities within
the small pool that medicine is in
competition with so many other
professions, like law, engineering
and computer science as well as
other health professions Dr.
Metcalf said.
Dr. Saunders, coordinator and
counselorof the summer program,
said they try to find people who
can benefit from the program, who
might have a financial or educa-
tional battle in medical school. The
students rarely have problems in
achieving academically; however
trouble for many of these very
intelligent students lies in com-
munication, social or cultural prob-
lems.
"It's interesting work that I
have, the most exciting part is
working one to one with the stu-
dents Dr. Saunders said.

Rap group tests right to free speech
i antw2Xiiici ArtwS (JMtr&t�&rrvrt6Z suMj
An Ideal View
Clothes can never cover the heart
It seems that more and more freedoms
granted bv the C onstitvition are being challenged
each day. Ihe recent case of local governments
throughout the nation banning 2 Live Crew's al-
bums and concerts is a direct infringement on the
group's freedom of speech
Federal district judge losoGonzales upheld
the Biowatd County Sheriff's Department's charge
that the rap group's album Nasty As They Wianm Pi'
was obscene. That ruling, in rum, sparked contro-
versy throughout the nation. And when 2 L tveCrew
gave a concert in Brow ard County a few days later.
members of t he ra p group were arrested for viola ting
the county's obscenity laws.
And. as if the arrests were not enough, sev-
eral record stores elsewhere in Florida and Texas
have pulled the group's albums from the shelves,
tearing they may be arrested ur the same violations.
This is one effect ot obscenity rulings that is rarer)
mentioned such rulings inevitably lead to unnec
essary self censorship, so that a ruling has much
farther reaching effects than it has bv law.
'ot everyone likes the lyrics of the rap band
in fact, for the most part, main people find their
messages repulsive. And even though their concerts
may contain "vulgar' acts that go along with with
their lvncs the fans know what kind ot show they are
in for before thev even purchase the tickets But the
government should not have the authority to tell
these groups that their music is not liked or wanted;
that is the duty oi the consumer
The consumer is what makes America live
His choice determines which markets thrive and
which tail 1 ocal governments stepped l nl of line in
this case, and it is up to their voters to let them know
that thev were wrong
Why has the government not taken a harder
look at the concerts and albums of some of the
nation's comedians1 Eddie Murphy and Richard
Prvor, two of the most notorious vulgar (and ob-
scene, profane, etc. )eomediansof all time have never
faced the challenges 2 Live Crew recently suffered.
In recent years, there has been no record of either of
the two (or any other comedian for that fact) being
arrested tor an obscene concert.
Several vears ago, heavy metal star Ozzy
Osborne was banned from performing in Greens-
boro. N.C for what Greensboro Coliseum promot-
ers telt was a vulgar concert. But there was never a
court case concerning the situation.
Certainly, Murphv.Pryor and others should
not be censored. But neither should 2 Live Crew.
The case of 2 Live Crew is unique in that the
local governments are the guilty parties by choosing
to ban the "obscene" material. That alone is wrong
viMUM it is the choice of the individual to purchase
theatbum or pav to go to the concert The people who
buy 2 I ive Crew's albums and see them in concert
know exactly what they are going to hear.
People have the right to choose what thev
want to listen to or what they want to watch. If
someone sees a program on television and finds it
offensive, he can simply change the channel. In the
case ot records, a disclaimer is even placed on the
album cover so that the potential buyer will know
that the contents contain obscene language.
Not onlv do these bans infringe on the First
mendment's guarantee of free speech, but they
could set a precedent for local governments to start
regulating what messages groups may choose to
express. Once the machinery is in place for suppress-
ing expression of one view, it remains in place for the
suppression of others. That's frightening.

At a friend's apartment, I saw
a picture of a kitten standing with
its front paws perched on the nm
of a gold fish bowl. l"he kitten
alone looked innocent and harm
less. However, in the given situ-
ation I have reason to suspect the
outward appearance of the furry
critter was drastically opposed to
the intent of its stomach
We are a lot like kittens in one
since. What we wear on the out-
side is totally separate from what
we wear on our heartsand minds.
Different from the kitten, we
can ch(xse how we look on the

Our clothes also can reflect our
musical preferences. Remember
all the Madonna-wanna-besof the
past? How did vou know they

ances gave it away. Teen-age girls
in church youth groups wear their
hair long and wear black hats to
look like Amy Grant. People who
like the Grateful Dead often wear
tie-dyed clothes with dancing
bears and skeletons.
People dress for success, hey

thev could probably dress to de-

Gonzo journalist found not guilty
By Tim E. Hampton
Editorial Columnist
Maybe our judicial system
isn't as screwed up as we make it
out to be.
After all, Dr. Hunter S. Th-
ompson - originator of a genre of
fiction labeled Gonzi journalism of
which arose Tear & Loathing in Las
Vegas fame - was recently found
not guilty on a crazed array oi bull
charges linked to a one-night
ordeal which allegedly unravelled
like one of the salacious and bibu-
lous plots of his novels.
The charges assault, sexual
assault, illegally possession ot
drugs, drug paraphenalia and four
sticks of dynamite were thrown
out of court bv Colorado state
judge Charles Buss, who said it
was "unable to establish guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt as
chronicalized in a recent issue of
The Rolling Stone. As a judge in his
sable cloak, he might have been
expected to say something of that
nature, but within the confines of
sensibilities, ole judge Buss must
have been a bit trickled after lis-
tening to the District Attorney's
evidence
It was if Thompson actually
became the dazed and confused
persona found in his narratives
All the elements were present in
his real-life chapter, illicit drug
use, a propensity to stumble upon
a strange conflict and the appear-
ance oi weird characters.
The episode began on Febru
ary 21 when a former pornogra-
phy film actress, former porno
producer, former Playboy "Girl oi

the covering which is an armor
stronger than any metal known to
man.
We are told to gird ourselves
with truth, and our breastplate
which covers and protects our
hearts is made of righteousness.
Righteousness is not a state of self
exaltation placing a person above
reproach or correction. The word
simply indicates a state of right
standing with the Creator.
For shoes, we are instructed
to wear peace. It is hard to walk
over people forourown gam when
we wear shoos of peace It's also
hard to raise our fists to fight when
grounded in peace.
Our shield is made of the
strongest substance possible, faith.

to extinguish flaming arrows, in-
sults, threats or anything else that
would weaken us. A shield is
mobile and can be used to protect
any side of us that is being at-
tacked. It is held in the hand but a
shiled is also a part of armor that
can be dropped. For this reason, a
firm grasp on our faith, or what
we believe, is important.
The helmet is of salvation and
our only offensive weapon, the
sword of the Spirit, is the word of
God.
What good is all this armor?
There is no proof that it exists.
Many people argue that there is
no proof God exists. Those of you
who argue this point, or lean
toward a faith-in-logic perspec-
tive may never agree with me or
even understand my point of view.
Nevertheless, my point of view is
ideal and unchanging. It comes
completely from the Bible and it
always will. I didn't originate this
view, I only support it.
According to the Bible, hav-
inga strong heart capable for battle
is dependant on prayer, prayer,
faith in the word of God, and more
prayer.
We are at war, often with our
selfishness and pride, sometimes
with decisions that weigh good
and bad and sometimes with other
people. All wars are either lost or
won.
I would like to close with two
questions. First: Is your heart well
dressed and armed for battle7 And
second: Who is winning?

queen.
An complaint to the police
ensued The Aspen cops, who were
denied a search warrant by the
Aspen-based judge, traveled 40
miles to find a propitiating judge.
Upon the search of Owl Farm, .09
gram of cocaine (not enough to
numbones' tongue), three Valium-
shaped pills, 39 hits of LSD, a
plastic casing of a Bic-pen with
coke residue, seven ounces of
marijuana and four sticksof dyna-
mite were found. Thompson, who
knew of the possession of the
drugs, was oblivious to the find-
ings of the TNT.
Dynamite aside, the list of
illicit substances was relatively
obsure compared to the stockpile
stored in the trunk of a rented
Cadillac convertible enumerated
in Fear& Loathing. Nevertheless,
the District Attorney pursued the
matter.
During a May 22 court hear-
ing, Thompson's lawyer found a
flaw in Palmer-Slater testimony.
On the stand, she contradicted
earlier statements that she saw
Thompson snort the white sub-
stances spread on the plate. In the
hearing, she said she couldn't
actually remember witnessing
Thompson snorting.
Adding a strange twist to the
already almost incredulous tale,
Mrs. Palmer-Slater of once lusty
hard-core scenes told the Rolling
Stone she was glad Thompson beat
the rap.
It is ironic that Thompson - a
writer who admonished readers
of the growth of the Orwellean
society, who slammed Nixon and
the Oakland Raider in the same
breath while chugging Crown
Royal and smoking hash in The
Great Shark Hunt - was free of
blame in thisover exaggerated and
over emotionalized War On
Drugs.
There was one sad loss which
followed the Wild Grammy Night
at the Owl Farm, Thompson's
brass hookah - purchased in San
Franciso during the height ot
1960's experience - remains in
police possession.

Decline expected in college
applications for next vear
RALEIGH (AP) � North
Carolina's colleges and universi-
ties are choosing next year's stu-
dents from a smaller applicant
pool, but school officials say en-
rollment should remain stable
decline, the school expects this
year's freshman class to be about
the same size as last year's, which
was about 3,200 students.
Ms. Polk said the smaller
applicant pool had not affected
di -spite j substantial drop in other the quality of this year's fresh-
states. men.
Officials at the state's two The decrease in the college-
largest universities � N.C. State applicant pool is the result of
University and the University of decliningbirthratessincethebaby
orth Carolina at Chapel Hill � boom. Colleges and universities
said that despite a drop in their have countered the decline in re-
applicant pools they expected this
year's freshman class to remain
about the same size as last year's.
t NCSU, the 1989 class com-
prised about 3,400 students, said
leorge Dixon, the school's direc-
tor of admissions. The shrinkage
in this year's applicant pool means
State has placed fewer stu-
dents on its waiting list.
At NCSU, 500applicants were
placed on a waiting list last year,
but only 350 are on the list this
vear.
At UNC-Chapel Hill, the
applicant pool declined by 10
percent, or about l,6O0applicants,
said Barbara Polk, associate direc-
tor of undergraduate admissions.
She said that even with the
cent years by enrolling non-tradi-
tional students. But many colleges
are finding the drop too steep to
overcome.
Evan Sun, a statistician at the
state Department of Public Instruc-
tion, said that based on birth rates,
it would be five or six years before
the number of college-age students
increases.
One reason the quality of next
year's freshmen should be high,
school officials say, is the higher
admission standards taking effect
this fall for all 16 schools in the
UNC system.
In contrast to UNC-CH and
NCSU, the number of applications
has increased or remained stable
at three of the state's predomi-
nantly black institutions.
The higher admission stan-
dards were expected to hit the
state's predominantly black
schools the hardest, but only N C.
Central University said it expects
the standards to limit the number
of freshmen it enrolled this year.
At NCCU the number of ap-
plicants increased, but because of
the standards this fall's class will
be smaller, said Nancy Rowland,
the university's admissions direc-
tor. Last year's freshman class
numbered 990 students, but this
year Ms. Rowland said she ex-
pects the class to be between 850
and 900 students.
Another factor in the expected
decline is the school's new em-
phasis on reducing its percentage
of out-of-state students, she said.
But Ms. Rowland said she
thought the decline in enrollment
would be balanced in part by a
better retention rate because of
students' being more qualified.
Despite earlier fears, officials
at two predominantly black
schools � Fayettevilte State Uni-
versity and VVinston-Salem State
University � said this week that
the new standards would not
cause new problems.
Orion pictures approve movie
sequel to 'Bull Durham'
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) �
Vion Pictures has approved a
movie sequel to "Bull Durham
the smash summer hit of 1988
.vhich grossed more than $50
million. Filming in Durhamcould
start bv the fall of 1991.
Producer Thorn Mount con-
firmed those plans from his Bur-
bank. Calif office.
We intend to make a sequel
to Hull Durham MounttoldThe
iDurham Morning Herald in an in-
terview published Saturday.
We've been working with Orion
for about four or five months, but
we just recently got the approval
to make the film
Mount estimated that about
two-thirds of the sequel will be
filmed in Durham.
Wnter-director Ron Shelton,
a former minor-league ballplayer,
is currently working on the sequel
screenplay. Shelton's original
screenplay received an Academy
Award nomination.
'I can't tell you the plot, but I
can tell you it will be set at least
partially in Durham Mountsaid.
"It involves the same three char-
actersat latter stages in their lives
The original starred Kevin
Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim
Robbins. All three have been
approached about starring in the
sequel, Mount said.
The original was filmed pri-
marily in Durham during the fall
of 1987. Shooting lasted about
three months and involved some
2,500 "extras most of whom filled
the stands of Durham Athletic
Park.
Miles Wolff, owner of the
Durham Bulls, said accomodating
a film crew for the first movie
wasn't easy.
"It was a headache Wolff
said We told them we didn't
want them to come back, but it
was so successful.
Wolff said he would have no
problem welcoming Mount back
to Durham. Wolff said that with
his ball club occupying the sta-
dium April through August, the
fall of 1991 would be the most
likelv time to start filming.
Orion Pictures spent a re-
ported $8.5 million to film "Bull
Durham" and another $10-11
million promoting it.
Mount, 41, is a former Dur-
ham resident who now runs his
own production company, Liberty
Pictures.
Other Mount productions
include "Tequila Sunrise "The
Deer Hunter" and "Animal
House
Statewide manhunt for
convicted murderer continues
RALEIGH (AP) � Officials
are pressing their search for Roger
Lee McQueen, a convicted mur-
derer who escaped from a job
assignment last week, by issuinga
nationwide alert and the most
recent photograph available.
McQueen, 51, wasserving two
life sentences for two murders at
the time of his escape. It is because
of his record that Department of
(Orrechon officials say he should
be considered dangerous.
We're following every lead,
regardless of where it's at said
lim Byrum, the program director
for the Division of Prisons.
"He traveled extensively on
his last escape. The South, the
West, up in the Northeast. The
only area we don't have any clues
on are Oregon and Washington
State. Everything else, we're cov-
ering, and we're also looking at
those two states
McQueen escaped from a
Missouri prison, where he was
serving a sentence for murder. He
was apprehended in Pennsylva-
nia and returned to North Caro-
lina and tried for the two murders
in Fayetteville. He was convicted
for those murders in 1977.
Department of Correction
spokesman BUI Poston said
McQueen was on a work detail
from the Greene Correctional
Center, working at the state High-
way Patrol office in Greenville.
Officials said McQueen was one
of the better adjusted prisoners
and had just one infraction since
being imprisoned and had earned
a work detail position.
'We have not drawn any con-
clusions as to how he made his
escape. One moment he was there,
the next moment he was not there
Byrum said. "We don't know if he
had a ride, hitchiked or walked
off. Nothing has developed on
that
SBI searches air terminals, buses
Agents retreat from traditional patrol
When agents of the State Bu-
reau of Investigation look for
drugs these days they are more
likelv to locus on bus and air ter-
minals than the backwaters of the
coast or a clandestine airstrip
in recent vears, agents have
concentrated their drug interdic-
tion efforts on bus and air termi-
nals, retreating from the traditional
patrol of the state's 3,375 miles of
beaches, inlets and coastal rivers
that form a nook-and-cranny
shoreline long known as a haven
for smugglers.
It's been four vears since the
bureau cracked a major coastal
smuggling operation � the kind
of cases that occasionally yielded
huge hauls of marijuana and other
drugs.
They7 re not smuggling by the
water as much says David R.
Marshall, the supervisor for the
SBI'sCoastal District. "Cocaine is
the drug oi choice. They can do it
bv air, land or sea. I'm sure some is
getting bv us, but I don't think as
much is coming in
As the bureau looks for drugs
stashed bv the new breed of tran-
sient smugglers, italsoisinvolved
in another relatively new strat-
egy: street-level undercover cam-
paignscoordinated with local law-
enforcement agencies across the
state.
But the effectiveness of some
of the most highly publicized of
those- efforts is in question.
In Chad bourn, a small Colum-
bus County town, 97SBI agents �
part of a 113-agent force � swept
down last year in a Friday-night
raid heralded as the largest in the
state's history. But to date, the 14
arrests have produced only five
convictions.
'Chadbourn was political
grandstanding at its worst says
lawyer loseph B. Cheshire V of
Raleigh. Purely pabulum for the
public. They don't need to do that
This transformation of the
SBI's drug efforts, several years in
the making, comes at a time when
Li. Gov. James C. Gardner, a Re-
publican, has proposed establish-
ing a new state drug agency. The
proposed agency would be con-
trolled bv Democratic Attorney
General Lacv H. Thomburg, as is

Spotted fever epidemic said to be par for the course
RALEIGH (AP) � North
Carolina this hot season has been
home to an estimated one in four
f the nation's cases of Rocky
Mountain spotted fever, but health
officials say that is par for the
course.
As of June 1, North Carolina
had 14 cases of the sometimes
deadly disease, nearly a quarter of
the cases reported nationwide by
the Centers for Disease Control in
Atlanta, said Dr. Janet Fischer, a
professor of medicine who spe-
cializes in tick-home illnesses at
the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill.
North Carolina is believed to
be a hotbed of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever because of a warm
climate that spurs outdoor activ-
ity and plentiful underbrush in
which ticks thrive. But the villain
in the disease is not the tick. It is a
bacteria called Rickettsia rickettsii.
The bacteria is carried by
about 3 percent of ticks and is
transferred when a tick is attached
to its victim while feeding.
Children, older people and
black men are particularly at risk,
Ms. Fischer said in a recent inter-
view.
While 60 percent of cases are
in children over 1 year old, "the
mortality is higher in people in the
mature years of life she said.
"But there need be no mortality
except in black males if thedisease
is treated early
Black males appear to have a
higher risk of death because of an
inherited deficiency of a certain
enzyme, Ms. Fischer said.
Antibiotics usually prevent
the spread of the disease until the
body's immune system can fight
it, Ms. Fischer said. But since only
60 percent of victims realize they
have received a tick bite, getting
treatment early can be difficult.
After the bite, the initial lesion
disappears and symptoms may
not begin for a week, Ms. Fischer
said. The initial symptoms are
similar to those from the flu, with
general muscle aches, headache
and fever.
Meanwhile, the bacteria has
entered cells and begun multiply-
ing. When they begin damaging
capillaries, usually in the first four
to six days, the characteristic rash
breaks out below the skin, Ms.
Fischer said. The rash begins in
the extremities, where the cooler
body temperature is most hospi-
table to rickettsia, then spreads
throughout the body.
However, 10 percent of vic-
tims never have a rash and an-
other 10 percent may not notice it
because it lasts only a short time.
The lesions that cause the rash
don't stop there, Ms. Fischer said.
The lesions are also on the
internal organs, the lungs, brain,
kidney, liver she said.
Through an unknown mecha-
nism, the bacteria is able to leave
infected cells and enter new ones,
Ms. Fischer said. Antibiotics,
which cannot enter the cells, fight
the disease by stopping the proc-
ess of spreading.

The Gardner plan represents

The News and Observer reported
Monday.
Over the vears, as the needsof
local law-enforcement agencies
have changed, the SBI has shifted
more and more of its resources to
drug investigations. In 1978, drug
cases represented 38 percent of
the SBI's work. By 1989, the figure
had soared to 63 percent, and the
bureau now employs h8 drug
agents out of its 174-agent force.

Volunteerism

RALEIGH (AP) � North
Carolina college students are still
out to get a job, but increasingly,
they want to change the world
too, say school officials, noting a
rise in student volunteerism.

dents seem more aware said

Students at the liberal arts
college nearCharlotte have helped
build homes for the needy and
operate a campuswide recycling
program. More than 100 have
trained to serve as tutors for grade-
school and high school students.
James F. Keith Jr who directs
Guilford College's student intern-
ships and service programs, says
the students arriving on campus
appear to be more socially con-
scious than their peers a few years
ago.
More than half of the Greens-
boro school's 1,700 students do-
nate their energies to philanthropic
causes ranging from tutoring pris-
oners and refugees to working in
retirement homes and housing
projects.
"I see things over the past five
years as having radically
changed Keith told The News and
Observer of Raleigh in an inter-
view published Sunday. "The
(career) aspirations of students are
every bit as strong, but they're

Pacemaker helps
man live normally
Sharpshooter wins competition
ECU News Bureau
In a fashion somewhat reminiscent of Clint Eastwood, R.L. "Jack"
Parks is blowing away mvths that people with heart pacemakers are
best confined to front-porch rocking chairs.
Parks, a 71-years-young resident of the coast near Cape Carteret,
N .C, recently earned age group first-team All-America status from the
20,000-member National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA). To those
of you who aren't "shooters that simply means that Parks and three
other persons aged 70 and over are downright handy when it comes to
knocking little clay pigeons out of the sky with a shotgun. So handy, in
fact, that last year Parks also equalled a world record for a .410 caliber
shotgun by hitting a mind-blowing 99 out of 100 targets during NSSA
competition.
He did all that despite the fact that he has a cardiac pacemaker
battery implanted in his upper left chest. Or, it could be argued, he did
all that because of the pacemaker.
A burly retired Marine who survived a bout with cancer, Parks isn' t
the kind to go scurrying off to a doctor for every little bump and bruise.
That's why he wasn't overly concerned several years ago when he
began having fainting spells. Nothing too serious�he'd just "blip out"
for an instant, usually while resting. Then at a match in Rocky Mount
two years ago, he was about to shoot when it happened again. Con-
cerned that he might endanger others, he decided to act.
Parks was referred to a cardiologist at the ECU School of Medici no.
who diagnosed a slow heartbeat. More precisely, he had an electrical
short in the circuitry that produces a regular heartbeat. When that
happens, either as the result of disease or a buildup of calcium deposi ts.
the natural electrical impulse must be supplied artificially by a pace-
maker.
About the size of woman's compact, the pacemaker batterv is
implanted just under the skin on one side of the upper chest. One or
more wirescarrying an electrical charge connect the battery to the heart.
The device has become almost commonplace; 200 are implanted each
year at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in a relatively simple and safe
surgical procedure.
Parks admits he was fearful of the changes a pacemaker might
bring. But his doctors and nurses convinced him that "it wouldn't
interfere with mv life, except that it would make a better lifestyle tor
me His onlv request was that the pacemaker be implanted in his left
side "so 1 can still shoot" with the shotgun stock against his right
shoulder.

To accomplish all this, they

An air conditioner works on
thepnnciplethata liquid (a refrig-
erant) absorbs heat (cools the
room) when it expand- into a gas,
then gives off heat (to the out-
doors) when it isagaincompressed
into a liquid.
it circulates the refrigerant
through two sets ol coils in one
continuous lKp rhe evaporator
coil cools the room while the con-
nser coil gives oft heat to the
outdoors. Between them is an
insulating barrier that keeps the
two parts from working against
each other. Near the barrier as
part oi the rcfriger int loop is a
compressor which i irculates the
refrigerantandcornpressesit l"wo
tans help transfer the heat from
the .nr to the coils and to the out-
doors IoGet our Money's Worth
Install the aii conditioner as
far as possible from exterior doors
to prevent draft- and cross-venti-
lation from warming the cooled
air
Make sure there are no ob-
structions, such .is chairs or drap-
eries, in front ot the unit.
Direct the cnts upward so
you get cool air at the upper levels
of the room. It will drift down
naturally because cool air is heav-
ier than warm air
Seal or weatherstrip all gaps
around the unit and around exte-
rior doors and windows. Other-
wise, the unit will have to work
harder to remove heat and hu-
miditv. To Maintain in Optimum
Condition
Be sure to turn off and unplug
the unit before working on it.

(AP) - Halfway through

wondering: Is this a satire oi the
heavy artillerv-superhero movies?
Or it is simply the most loathsome
example of the genre?
Despite the opaque humor of
the futuristic TV commercials
("Now that we have destroyed

"RoboCop 2" offers yet an-
other argument against sequels.

Listing priorities simplifies decision making
Read Along with Rita Long
Dear Rita:
I have a mother that wasover-
protective when 1 was growing up
and now that I am in college, she
still tries to make all my decisions
for me. 1 appreciate her advice but
I do think if sabout time for me to
make my own decisions. How can
I tell her in a way that won't be
disrespectful? Signed, Respect.
Dear Respect:
Sometimes you have to ad-
dress situations bluntly. You could
say something like this, "I appre-
ciate all the good things you have
taught me, but now 1 want to put
some of your good teaching into
practice. Even it 1 make a mistake,
learning how to correct it will be
good for me Or you may be more
comfortable saving, "I don't mean
any harm but as long as I'm de-
pending on you for all my deci-
sions, I will not be able to stand on
my own two feet Whatever you
say, try to leave your mom in a
positive light.
Dear Rita:
I have a problem of indeci-
siveness. For instance, if I need a
blouse, I'll go to the store and see
two I really like but can only af-
ford one. At this point, it seems as
if I can never make up my mind
which one I should get. This inde-
cisiveness has spread to other areas
of my life. How can I put a stop to
this? Signed, Indecisive.
Dear Indecisive:
Make a list of the things you
need most. Set them in an order of
priority reflecting your greatest
needs. Then make some short-term
goals and long-range goals and
do your best to stick with wha
you set tor yourself.
If you think about the thing?
you intend to do before you dc
them, you can save yourself en
ergy, frustration, and time. Aftei
you set goals, ask yourself what e
the quickest and most effective
way to achieve these goals. If tht
problem is big enough to call tr
your attention, it may be robbing
you of stamina and a better sell
image. Making smaller decisioru
will become easier once yot
achieve order in handeling voui
affairs.

Shooting is a big part of Jack
Parks' life. He picked up the hobby
during World War II, when he
was an aerial gunner for dive
bombers. The Marine Corps used
skeet shooting to train the gun-
ners to hit a moving target.
In skeet shooting competition,
contestants may shoot up to 500
rounds with four different cali-
ber-size shotguns. The man or

To make the All-American
team, Parks had to perform well at

and national shooting matches,
including the World Skeet Shoot-
ing Championship in San Anto-
nio, Texas. He traveled several
thousand miles and went through
about 35,000 rounds of ammuni-

rhesecond week sees high-school
students age 12 and over. Most of
these students come with their
coaches. Their week is spent m
intensive training.
"We Mart at 7:30 in the morn-
ing, -viul Mike Steele, head coach
of ECl s basketball team. "We
wake them up and coach them
until about 10:30 at night, so it's
constant basketball Steele said
that thestudentsareallowed some
time to lookaround. "Thev'vegot
a chance to swim and to see the
campus, but pretty much, it's
basketball
1 he high-school camp is di-
vided into two leagues. ,i "pro"
league which is comprised of
mostly juniors and seniorsin high-
school, o a "college" league
which is mostly junior varsity or
boys w ho did not come with their
schools. We've got somewhere
around 10 teams in each league
Steele said.
It's a team camp Steele
explained. 'It gives the.oachesa
chance to spend all ov for a whole
week with their players Steele
said that the camp is also good for
� the coaches. "It gives the coaches
f a chance to get to know us, and us
a chance to know them. "hey see
how we do things. Some things, 1
think they like, and some things
they do the way that they want to
do them. I think it's a good expe-
rience for them
Steele said that the camp fo-
cuses on basics. "We do all funda-
mental work at different times.
We do some defensive work and
some offensive work and then we
put them together. We put them
in some of our drills and then the
kids get to work on them with
their coaches
"We'd liketothink they'll pick
up some things fundamentally
said Steele, "but it gives them a
chance to play five league games
against other people and other
teams. Itreallvgivesthemachance
to have a week of intensified bas-
ketball During the week, the
teams compete against each other
and the winner receives a trophy.
Steele said the camp does
more than just give experience.
"It helps in a number of ways
Steele said. "It gives these people
a chance to see East Carolina and
a chance to meet a lot of people,
plus it gives us a chance to work
with some of the players and
coaches

Steele said that the camp is

CHARLOTTE (AP) � A
Charlotte official said Monday he
doesn't believe an NFL football
stadium can be completed in time
for the opening of the 1992 season.
Loy McKeithen, the former
chairman of Charlotte Uptown
Development Corp. who isassem-
bling land for the stadium, said
the start of construction probably
will be delayed a few months for
relocation of underground utili-
ties and a business.
Buta spokesman for the group
seeking the football franchise
downplayed the chance of delay
and its significance.
"We feel we can work around
the bottlenecks said Mark
Richardson of Richardson Sports
Group. "If we have to be ready by
fall of '92, we can still hit that
timetable
Other options, Richardson
said, would be to play the first
1992 games away or in a univer-
sity stadium.
The stadium, to be built by
Richardson Sports if and when it
wins a National Football league
franchise, will go in a southwest
corner of uptown Charlotte be-
side 1-277 and Mint Street.
Construction is expected n
take at least 21 months. So whether
it can be finished by September
1992, the earliest possible expan
sion date, will become clear in
coming months.
McKeithen said two key (a.
tors are the relocations of WAV
Grainger Inc. and of Southern Bel!
lines buried in the area.
Both moves are expected to tx
finished in December. Construe
tion of the stadium tor 1992 was
originally to start in October

Hatfield, who spoke for 90
minutes with McGlockton on

"tell the truth get a lawyer and
prepare a defense. McGlockton,
like all football players who live in
the athletic dormitory, has an

Ga.Tech considers move to SEC
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia
Tech, which resigned from the
Southeastern Conference in 14,
has shown an interest in getting
back in.
Athleticsdirector Homer Rice
said he would listen if approached
by the SEC to leave the Atlantic
Coast Conference and rejoin the
SEC, although he said he has not
been approached.
Football coach Bobby Ross
said he feels the same, adding that
most Sou them prospects recrui ted
by Tech have "an SEC mentality
But basketball coach Bobby
Cremins was less enthused.
"I'm for the ACC he said.
"I'm an ACC man all the way.
That's one of the reasons I came to
Georgia Tech. I really think Tech
is embedded in the ACC, and 1
believe we're there to stay
The Yellow Jackets won their
second ACC basketball champi-
onship last season and went to the
Final Four.
The SEC has not identified its
target schools, but Southwest
Conference member Arkansas has
acted on the SEC's mood to ex-
pand its roster from 10 schools
and agreed to hold formal conver-
sations with league officials.
"I think all of our people are in
line with the ACC, but if some-
thing came along, you'd have to

Monday in entirely different ways.

unprecedented fourth World Cup,

Ireland, in its first appearance at

out over Romania 5-4.
The teams meet in the quar-
terfinals in Rome on Saturday.
"This is the World Cup and
every game is hard, every team is
hard Schillaci said of the
matchup with the lnsh.
It will be hard for anyone to
beat Italy's defense, which has an
unblemished record so far. The
Italians have beaten Austria and
the United States 1-0, Czechoslo-
vakia and Uruguay 2-0.
"1 think our midfield is our
real sourceof strength said Luigi
De Agostini. "We have mobile
playersand never give other teams
a fixed point of reference that they

Italian coach Azeglio Vicini
almost seems to take the impene-
trable defense in stride.
"It is something we depend
on he said. "We always attacked
and created quite a few plays. In
the second half, we were able to
break the tie. It was an important
step against a very difficult oppo-
nent
The next opponent not only
will be difficult but inspired. It has
been 19 months since the Irish were
beaten and, even though they have
not won in regulation time here,
nobody has defeated them, either

( HARLOTTE (AP) � The
Charlotte Hornets' No. 5 pick in
the upcoming NBA draft will
depend on which player will help
them improve on a disappointing
second season in which they won
just 19 games.
The Hornets management has
vowed to take the best player
available regardless of need.
"We'll be taking a guard or a
small forward said Allen Bns-
tow, vice president of basketball
operations. "We won 19 games
last vear.That'snot a delicate mix.
We're going to raise our talent
level with this year's draft
Hornets coach Gene Littles
concurred.
"We need a player who will
make us more competitive, who'll
help us win a few more games
he said-
Charlotte played it coy Mon-
day, giving low hints about the
player they hope to select.
"Did 1 give it away? Can you
read between the lines Bnstow
joked after discussing some of the
college stars in Wednesday'sdraft
with reporters at the Hornets' of-
fices.
Most basketball experts pre-
dict 6-foot-9 Syracuse forward
IVrnckC oleman will go first when
the New jersey Nets pick.
Until recently, Georgia lech
swingman Dennis Scott was
touted as the No. 2 pick. But con-
cerns about his weight have come
up and his stock has gone down in
some circles.
Should Scott be around when
the Hornets pick, there's a good
chance he'll be their pick.
He'sby far the best offensive
talent in the draft Bnstow said.
1 ot the Hornets, there's an
obvious need that likely won't be
tilled by this draft center.
So the attention turns primar-
ily to a strong slate of guards.
including Gary Payton, Kendall
GUI, Chris ackson and Rumeal
Robinson.
"This isn't a marquee draft
said Littles.
Bnstow spent a lot of time
Monday talking about GUI, a 6-
foot-5 guard out of Illinois, and 6-
foot-8 LaSalle forward Lionel
Simmons.
"A guy like Kendall Gill will
find his minutes Bnstow said.
"1 le's that kind of competitor
As for Simmons, the Hornets
official said: "1 like his toughness.
He can put the ball on the floor
and he sa good shooter. He's also
an unselfish player and hisconsis-
tencv is superb. He's done the
same things for four years at La-
Salle.
"Perhaps he is the safest pick
in the draft. He doesn't do any-
thingspectacularHe'snotsuper
quick. He's like a decathlon ath-
lete
Both Littles and Bnstow said
Jackson, who averaged 29 points a
game in his two seasons at ISU,
would probably not fit into the
Hornets mix.
"He'll be a big draw at the
gate and he's going to sell tickets
Bnstow said. "We don't need to
sell tickets
Jackson is one of five point
guards who figure to go high in
the draft.
Besides JacksonandGill, other
potential picks at that position
include Oregon State's Payton.
Michigan's Robinson and Travis
Slavs out of Texas.
Bnstow listed his top three
point guards in Wednesday'sdratt
as Payton, Jackson and Robinson.
Hornets officials were tight-
lipped about possible second-
round selections, but said there
may be some good talent left when
they pick .Wth.

Winners need

at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England (AP)
Ivan Lend! won ugly. Boris
Becker won dirty.
The top two seeds survived
surprisingly tough challenges in
Monday's first round at Wimble-
don And they weren't particu-
larly concerned about the lack of
beauty in their efforts.
Lendl, the top seed, lost four
ot the opening five games against
22-year-old Christian Miniussi,an
Argentine ranked 116th in the
world. Though he recovered to
win 3-6,6-4,6-3,64, he seemed to
struggle at times with the low
bounce ot the ball off the carefully
manicured grass courts.
"I just had a terrible time with
the timing' said Lendl, beginning
his annual quest for the only ma-
jor title that haseluded him. "Every
court plays differently and 1 just
couldn't get any rhythm on the
return of serve
Lendl skipped the clay-court
season and has concentrated on
grass for the past few months to
prepare himself for Wimbledon.
Bu t he seemed to be suffering from
his traditional aversion to grass in
the opening set.
"I was a bit nervous at first
he said. "1 was not feeling com-
fortable with the low bounces I
was getting. But I got used to it a
little bit and I hit some good re-

the New Jersey Nets pick.
Until recently, Georgia Tech

touted as the No. 2 pick. But con-

Should Scott be around when

Winners need
to fight to win
at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England (AP)
� Ivan Lendl won ugly. Boris
Becker won dirty.
The top two seeds survived
surprisingly tough challenges in
Monday's first round at Wimble-
don. And they weren't particu-
larly concerned about the lack of
beauty in their efforts.
Lendl, the top seed, lost four
of the opening five games against
22-year-old Christian Miniussi,an
Argentine ranked 116th in the
world. Though he recovered to
win 3-6,6-4,6-3,6-4, he seemed to
struggle at times with the low
bounce of the ball off the carefully
manicured grass courts.
"I just had a terrible time with
the timing said Lendl, beginning
his annual quest for the only ma-
jor title tha t haseluded him. "Every
court plays differently and I just
couldn't get any rhythm on the
return of serve
Lendl skipped the clay-court
season and has concentrated on
grass for the past few months to
prepare himself for Wimbledon.
Bu t he seemed to be su f f ering from
his traditional aversion to grass in I
the opening set.
"I was a bit nervous at first

fortable with the low bounces I
was getting. But I got used to it a

Flutie to sell fax machines and play for CFL
VANCOUVER, British Co-
lumbia (AP) � Doug Flutie will
be throwing footballs and selling
fax machines for British Columbia
Lions owner Murray Pezim.
Flutie, the 1984 Heisman Tro-
phy winner, signed a one-year
contract with an option year with
the CFL team that includes a two-

another unique deal here
Terms of the contracts were
not disclosed, but Pezim said his
business deal with the former
Boston College star would include
the marketing of a product that
allows personal computers to
function as fax machines.
Pezim said the two contracts
could make Flutie, released by the
New England Patriots in the off-
season, the highest-paid player in
the CFL.
"Murray made it happen
said Flutie.
Flutie, who played for the
New Jersey Generals in the USFL
in 1985 and played for the Chi-
cago Bears and New England in
the NFL, was not interested in
beinga second-stringer in theNFL
anymore.

Winn said. "We will then examine
this incident thoroughly and take
whatever action is appropriate
Eric S. Freshwater, 22, who

"I didn't see it coming' Fresh-
water said. "Atnotimedid I curse

Freshwater, who is 6-foot-2
and weighs 165 pounds, went to
the hospital after suffering head-
aches and becoming nauseated
and dizzy. He said doctors diag-
nosed a concussion.
Three of his friends were also
assaulted, as well as another man

McGlockton, who was listed
behind Otis Moore at left tackle
going into spring practice, tied for
the Atlantic Coast Conference lead
in sacks with seven last season
despite playing in just 32 percent
of the team's plays.
Overall, McGlockton had 31
tackles in just 280 plays, including
10 stops for losses. Perhaps his
biggest play of the season came
against West Virginia in the Gator
Bowl when he knocked the ball
loose from quarterback Major
Harris at the 9-yard line and re-
covered in the end zone for at
touchdown.

to stay on his feet. The three-time
winner repeatedly slipped and
skidded on the grass, often while
charging the net.
"It was very, very wet and
soft Becker said after his 7-6,7-6,
7-5 Centre Court victory over Luis
Herrera of Mexico. "The first
round is always difficult, but on
such a court it is more difficult
Becker made his task more
complicated by getting off to a
slow start with lOdoublefaultsin
the opening set. But he came
through in crucial moments, cap-
ping the first tie-breaker 7-2 with a
pair of aces and claiming the sec-
ond tie-breaker 7-4.
The second seed got so used
to flopping on the slick grass that
he even took an extra dive late in
the third set to mimic Herrera,
who had lunged for a shot.
Herrera, 18, ranked 199th in
the world, displayed fine touch
but did not have the power to
contend with Becker.
Lendl and Becker were not
the only men who struggled
Monday. Former champion Pat
Cash recovered from a 2-1 deficit
in sets and a leg injury to defeat
253rd-ranked Dimitri Poliakov of

seed Brad Gilbert of Piedmont,
Calif overcame a similar deficit
against Yugoslavia's Bruno Ore-
sar.
Frenchman Yannick Noah, the
No. 16 seed, was not as lucky,
losing in three quick sets to quali-
fier Wayne Ferreira. Noah, who
has always had trouble on grass,
said he was not able to move well
on the slippery surface.
"Wimbledon isn't really a

Obscenity ruling spawns imitators

"Oh, yeah? Well, then, 'La Bamba'

Diculous ruled Monday. 'Take that,

Diculous was referring to Fort
Lauderdale federal district Judge Jose
Gonzo, who touched off a firestorm of
judicial reaction when he ruled that 2
Live Crew's rap album Nasty As They
Wanna Be was legally obscene, de-
spite contrary testimony provided by
several expert witnesses.
Judges in thirty-eight states have
issued similar rulings in the wake of
Gonzo's pronouncement, leaving the
record industry in a state of total
confusion.
For example, Massachusetts fed
eral district Judge Whitebread Yup-
pie ruled that country music was
obscene, pointing out that "most of it
talks about wife-beating, adultery, a I
coholism, and so on � hardly the
kind of thing we can allow young

priestess "Tipsy" Gore quickly rushed
to country music's defense. "Country

glorification of good old-fashioned
American values said Gore. Things

ruling aside, Gore, who has long
advocated banning or labelling al-

shouldn't listen to, considers Judge
Gonzo's ruling "a big plus. How can
we teach our children how to decide
for themselves what music to listen
to, other than by taking away from

were also very pleased by an Ala-
bama court ruling in which federal
district judge Gud Olboy mandated
that any records sold in the state would
have to have all the lyrics printed on
the outside of the album. Also in the
ruling, judge Olboy used much the
same reasoning to declare that movie
theaters would have to print all the
words to all the movies being shown
on the back of each ticket sold, that
television shows would have to print
to the screen all the words that would
be spoken in each show immediately
before the show aired, and that pub-
lishers would have to print all the
words to everv book on the outside of
the book. "No way anybody in this

in several albums besides Nasty As

as intolerant judges, law enforcement
officialsand community groups work
together to use their newly discov-
ered ability to ban whatever they don't
like or understand Among the more
prominent artists whose works have
been outlawed were Barry Manilow,
whom judge Robin Wrights accused
of "pandering to the questionable
tastes of white, middle- to upper-
middle-classcity dwellers and Milli
Vanilli. The ruling that Milli Vanilli
was obscene was the only such decla-
ration contested by no one.
2 LiveCrew hasprofited from the
widespread controversy, both
through increased record sales and
through their newfound martyr status.
But perhaps the performer who has
most benefited is Madonna, whose
recent sexually explicit dancing in
Toronto was only a prelude to the
smut-peddling she now engages in.
Her new album, Nasty As A Madonna

It seems that, just as the great

the galaxy creates a black hole into
which surrounding stars are drawn,
the great concentration of wealth in

drains off money that might other-

serious problem, but is doubtful that

DEBATE
Plain Talkin'
By Alvin Newhart
ECU Today founder
I just finished listening to that
rap album that got banned, whad-
dayacallit � Nasty As A Saibr, or
somethin' � and I get the feeling
that if I coulda understood a word of
it, I'da been really offended.
Okay, as soon as that ruling was
passed, I ran out and got a copy of
the album. I'm not ashamed to admit
it. Don't tell my wife, of course, but
thaf s different. Ethel � that's my
wife � she don't know nothing
about music.
Anyways, 1 bought the album
because I heard on the TV that it had
lotsa offensive lyrics and graphics
depicting sex, and I thought, hey, if
j if s bad enough to piss off the au-
thorities, it's good enough for me.
But Nasty As Can of Beans wasn't
dirty at all. At least, not so I could
tell. I wasn't really sure there was
anything obscene until I read the
lyric sheet. And there it was, plain as
day: about a hundred million times
these guys talk about sex and what
they're gonna do when they screw
these chicks and whatnot. Boy, I
spent a lot of time holding that thing
with one hand, it you get my drift.
But the issue is, should this al-
bum be for sale at all? I say no. It's a
real disappointment, you wanna
know what I think. In my opinion,
those guys should either describe
the sex clearly and distinctly, so we
can use both hands for whatever we
happen to be doing while we're lis-
tening, or they shouldn't go around
getting federal judges to call it ob-
scene.

Okay, I already said "free speech"
how about "free press"? I said that,

I know that my friends the police
would keep me safely cocooned in my
little artificial world, far removed from

until someone shot me in the head

Comic-style films multiply
Tm Amalgamated Pklss
With the recent spate of success-
ful films like Batman. Vho Framed Roger
Rabbit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
and, most recently, Dick Tracy, comics
and cartoons are back with a venge-
ance. And filmmakers are rushing to
crassly exploit them.
Though studios are traditionally
reluctant to talk about projects under
development. The Amalgamated
Press, m the finest tradition of investi-
gative journalism, managed todigout
of its files several compromising
photos which persuaded studio heads
to overcome their reticence.
First, the sequels: various studios
will be releasing sequels of their hit
films, such as Batmen; Oh, So THAT'S
Who Framed Roger Rabbit! (to be fol-
lowed by So Who Framed Roger Rabbit
THIS Time?); Teenage Mutant Ninja
Snapping Turtles: This Time, They're
Mad; and Dick Tracy 2: Electric Bugaloo
(which may instead be titled Dick Tracy
2: Madonna's Naked!).
However, several original mov-
ies are also planned, like Try-Stair's
What's-His-Name � You Know, The
Little Black And White Dog Who Talks
Funny, and Pairofmounts' Jessica Rub
bit: The Early Years, When She Needed
the Money. Each of these films will be
released after about eighteen years i t
saturation advertising, and each will
haveitsownlineofdollsanda related
game at McDonald trumps.
Disney Studios wouldn't tell us
about most of its upcoming releases,
which means vou'll soon be seeing
some very interesting photographs
involving studio officials, jungle gyms
and underage horses. However, we
did manage to get them to reveal the
titles to their The Little Mermaid sequels
The Even Littler Mermaid, The Even-
Littler-Than-That Mermaid, The Micro-
scopic Mermaid, and The So-Darn-Small
We-Could-Hardly-Find-Her-ln-Order-
To-Make-This-Film Mermaid.
Other studiosare pondering more
"quiet" films � like Divided Artists'
ScoobyDoo Reunion. Insider gossip has
it that Fred is now totally bald, and
that Scooby Doo is developing cata-
racts and kidney problems and may
sxn have to be put to sleep. In a
similar vein, Touchrock Pictures is
considering The Flintstones Check Into
a Nursing Home.
The Oscar for "Most Honest Title
if the Academy gives such a thing,
will ha ve to go to Orison's God's Gift to
Merchandising.
The most surprising story of all
came from Cosmological Studios.
Studio head Lois Commondenomi-
nator, who asked not to be named,
revealed that the studio plans to re-
lease a detective comicfilm called
Trick Dacy, starring Tom Hanks as the
title character and Roseanna Arquette
asa lovely femmefatale by the name of
Breathless Maloncy Detective Dacy
will have an assortment of innovative
gadgets in his crime-fighting arsenal,
such as a three-way wnst radio (which
Commondenominator describes as
"kind of like a two-way wrist radio,
but with conference-call capability").
Commondenominator further
stated that Dacy "will wear a trench
coat and hat which look yellow, but
areactuallya kind of of-yellowCom-
mondenominator describes the film
as "nothing at all like Dick Tracy,
honest and has already announced
plans to "think of some pretext to rip
the film brutally out of the director's
hands and mangle it beyond recogni-
tion, like we did with the television
release of Brazil
This season's TV shows go nuts with cliffhanger finales
By Chippy Bonehead
ECU Today
In the tradition of such great net-
work television cliffhangers as "Who
shot JR.? syndicated shows arc now
enticing audiences with season fina-
les that hinge on life-or-death situ-
ations for the characters, hoping to
boost ratings and win fall renewals.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
ended its 89-90 season with Captain
Picard facing certain death aboard an
alien vessel. Fox Network off icialsand
producers of other shows have re-
leased teasers of other shows' cliff-
hangers to watch for this week.
The Simpsons' Bart will dream
about his sixteenth birthday, when
Marge and Homer go out of town and
he hires a hooker to open a brothel in
the Simpson home for the weekend.
The series will end as Bart drives
Homer'scaroffthedockoftheSpring-
field pier.
Superboy will finally bed girl-
friend Lana Lang. Just as they are
about to consummate their relation-
ship, they will discover arch-enemy
Lex Luthor has embedded kryptonite
in her diaphragm.
America's Most Wanted Home Vid-
eos has a double treat in store for view-
ers. As the sea rch for f(xtagc of George
and Barbara Bush in the shower con-
tinues, host Bob Saget will be bludg-
eoned to death by the studio audience
for telling them to "enter those votes"
just one time too many.
Small Wonder's adorable robot
Vicki will turn out to be a renegade
Fembot from the old Bionk Woman
series. Her programming will go be-
serk and she'll try to rip the faces off
the adorable family she lives with.
And finally, the wacky New
Munsters will seeaClive Barker movie.
The show will fade out as Heman,
Lily and the gang realize their true
calling as tcrnfying creatures of the
night and start hanging out behind
Fast Fares across the nation, killing
and violently brutalizing teenagers.

damaged and they'll all end up like
Barney Frank, not that I mean any-
thing by that. Most important, the
voters are for it � and if the majority
of people thinks something, then it
must be true, even if they think that
slavery is okay or that the Earth is flat.
