Former Senator McGovern makes
plea for Middle East dialogue
By Tim Hampton
News Editor
Former U.S. Senator and 1972
Democratic Presidential nominee
George McGovern said the
Middle Fast conflict is the most
pressing issue facing American
foreign policy, in a luncheon
speech Friday on the ECU cam-
pus.
Mc( .overn. who unsuccess-
fully ran against Richard M.
Nixon in the 1972 elections, told
a group of public school teachers
that the U.S. must persuade Is-
rael to enter in negotiations with
warring Arabs and Palestinian
peoples Middle Fast unrest has
lasted for decades since the es-
tablishment of Israel in 1948 and
has accounted for many causali-
ties on each side
"Wecan't dictate Israeli pol-
icy, but wecan dictate their terms
of our aid McGovern said of
the$3billion in funding,of which
the majority is military support,
the U.S. gives to the Jewish
homeland.
"We now supply Israel with
aid amounting to $5,000 per
capita of each Israeli citizens in
perspective to the content of
Africa where we give $1 per
capita McGovern said adding,
"that's not fair and not smart for
American interest
With the crumbling of the
of democracy in Eastern Europe,
McGovem said the most focal point
of U .S. policy in the last 40 years - the
Cold War - is no longer a threat to
American well-being and in turn the
emphasis should now be placed on
the Middle East.
"World War III could take place
in the Middle East it we don't find
some way to resolve this long fester-
ing quarrel McGovern said.
While he concedes it would take
political maneuvering around the
powerful Israel lobby, McGovern
said the US. must call tor Israel to
enter talks with the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization(PLO). McGovern
alluded to the fact that half of the
Israeli public and halt of the its Jew-
ish supporters in American believe a
new dialogue must be established
with the PLO.
Also concerning the PLO, the
former senator said the Bush admini-
stration made a mistake by cutting
diplomatic ties with the Palestinian
group.
Although now somewhat odd,
McGovern, a staunch liberal demo-
crat from Wisconsin, and former
President Nixon, a conservative, see
almost eve to eye on the Middle East
issue.
"We tend to agreeon a few things
today, including the Middle East
conflict McGovern said.
Recalling the 1972 election in
which Nixon claimed a landslide
victory, McGovern said he didn't fare
too well in North Carolina.
"I think we managed to carry
two counties in North Carolina
the former Democratic nominee
said.
But he now takes the loss in
proper perspective.
"I'd much rather be in Green-
ville with all of you as the loser in
1972 then to trade places with the
winner McGovern said to the
teachers attending The Arab
World and Islam: reaching Pri-
orities and Techniques a two
day seminar held in conjunction
with the ECU international stud-
ies.
In today's domestic political
arena, McGovern may have had a
more realistic change of winning
the election then during the con-
servative turn in the eariy 1970's.
"American politics functions
in cycles and for the last 20 years
the conservatives have largely-
held power in the White House.

change if not in 1992 then in 19

Of the up coming showdown
By Elizabeth Donaghy
Staff Writer
Since 1989, North Carolina's
universities have been experienc-
ing a decline in the applicant pool,
and although ECU is also feeling
the effects of these cuts in appli-
cants, the admissions standards
will still continue to become more
difficult.
During the past couple of
years, applicants for ECU have
been facing a rise in the academic
standards for admission, and this
climb is predicted to continue into
1991.
The basis for this stricter selec-
tion is found through a projection
formula used to achieve a better
idea of how a student may do his
or her freshman year. The factors
of this formula are the student's
GPA (Grade Point Average) and
SAT (Scholastic Achievement Test)
score. Although it is not used in
the formula, class rank is also sig-
nificant in the consideration of the
application.
For 1990, the minimum GPA
for an applicant is a 2.0, and the
minimum SAT score is a 700.
However, a student cannot have
both of these scores combined in
order to be accepted to ECU. If the
applicant's GPA is a 2.0, they must
have a 900 minimum on their SAT
in order to be accepted. Students
with a 700 on their SAT must in
turn have a 2.5 GPA. In addition, a
fifty point rise in the minimum
SAT score is being considered for
1991.
These figures are based on the
projection formula for the
student's progress analysis. This
formula helps the admissions
board to estimate how a student
might do his or her freshman year.
Currently, this formula is being
revised as a result of a validity
study.
Dr. Thomas E. Powell, direc-
tor of admissions, feels that there
will not be a decline in the number
of applicants as a result ol these
changes. In fact, he predicts the
opposite and finds these new stan-
dards to be more attractive tor
ECU.
"Historically, as admissions
standards go up for a school, the
demand for the institutions usu-
ally goes up along with it said
Dr. Powell. "The more selective
schools have the most people
trying to get into them
There has been a decline in the
applicant pool for all of North
Carolina's state schools in recent
years due to a decline in the num-
ber of college-age students. This
decline is the result of lower birth
rates since the baby boom.
Graduates from public high
schools in North Carolina peaked
in 1989, when it reached a high of
approximately 72,000 students.
This statistic is expected to con-
tinuc downward until 1994, when
it will reach a lo wot approximately
58,000 high school graduates.
Last year alone, ECU experi-
enced a decrease in applications
ranging around 1,100. Dr. Powell
feels that this continued decline
will be the result of the fewer high
school graduates only, not because
of the higher standards being ap-
plied.

Financial aid: the process
made one step at a time
By Matt King
Staff Writer
Financial aid to some, is as
important as the curriculum itself,
because you can't have one with-
out the other.
The most important thing to
keep in mind is that you are your
own best friend, and worst en-
emy, in the quest for funds to
supplementyoureducationalbank
role.
First, find out the time table.
When it comes to financial aid it's
between former Charlotte mayor imperative to be aware of the
Harvey Gantt and three term U.S. schedule that this big machine
works on. As the handbook will
tell you, it is a first come, first serve
system and the earlier one applies,
the better.
Even though there are two
programs that can be tapped into
year-round (The Pell Grant and
Stafford Loans), one has to apply

Senator Jesse Helms in Novem-
ber, McGovern seemed to like the
underdog.
"Mayor Gantt has the best
chance of anybody who has run
against Senator Helms in a long
time McGovern said adding, "it
will be a classic test of the far-
right conservative against the
liberal democrat. All theelements
of a real drama are there
April 15th is the date that the
American College Testing
Service's (ACT) Family Financial
Statement (FFS) should be received
by the government.
This is the first step to receiv-
ing any type of financial aid, it
determines one's financial eligi-
bility.
If thisdeadlineismisscd, don't
give up, complete the FFSand send
it in. There is a good chance that
the Aid might not get to the cash-
iers office in time to pay for fall
tuition, but, in the event that a
person is deemed eligible for Aid,
tuition can be refunded with an
award.
Second, always keep in mind
that the people that work in the
Office of Financial Aid are there to
help and they will go out of their
way to do so.
Anyone in the office will tell
you that the worst part of their job
is having to deal with students
who become short with them be-
classes as well as an expanded
numberof coursesand workshops
for school teachers as some of the
programs attracting adults.
"There has been a decline in
the number of 18-ycar-olds in re-
cent years McGee said. He said
ECU is trying to make up for this
decline by becoming more acces-
sible to older students.
"Older students have con-
straints that the younger students
do not have, such as full-time jobs
and familv McGee says. As a
result the adult student makes
more sacrifices in order to attend
classes.
ECU has opened more oppor-
tunities for older students by way
of classes and study programs in
the evenings, that award under-
graduate and graduate degrees,
McGcesaid. "Weareofferingthcse
classes at times when they can
come" he said.
A change in lifestyle tor col-
lege students is another reason tor
the increases, according to McGee.
He said more and more students
are employed in part-time jobs to
help pay for their education. As a
result many of the students are
taking fewer hours during the fall
and spring semesters and are
continuing their course work along
with their jobs in the summer.
I le said the students are bene-
fitting from the income these jobs
provide and are also finding their
part-time job experiences valuable

Muscular dystrophy patients
of eastern North Carolina can
now receiveevaluationand treat-
ment at a new outpatient clinic at
the ECU School of Medicine and
Pitt County Memorial Hospital
The Department of Physical
Medicine and Rehabilitation es-
tablished the clinic to provide a
third site for muscular dystro-
phy patients living in North
Carolina. The other two clinics
are located at Duke University
Medical Center in Durham and
North Carolina Memorial Hos-
pital in Chapel Hill. By granting
the clinic $12,500, the Muscular
Dystrophy Association has
helped with the clinic's develop-
ment.
Services the new clinic will pro-
vide range from medical evaluation
to respiratory, physical and occupa-
tional therapy. Patients will be able
toreceiveclinicalandfollow-upcare
specific to their disease, however,
the clinic is now operating only one
day per month.
Dr. John Eisele, co:director of
the clinic and a specialist in physical
rehabilitation, said that this clinic is
patterned after others which arc also
supported by the Muscular Dystro-
phy Association.
"The new clinic will incorporate
thorough diagnosis and evaluation
for this complex disease, a strong
collaborative research component,
and a linkage to community agen-
cies is needed Eisele said.

Tommorrow, ECU will osberve the Fourth of July as no classes will
be held. So catch up on that reading and light a few fireworks.
Aid advisors work with hundreds
of people a day.
Third, don't get bogged down
in thealphabet soup that goes with
all the Financial Aid literature.
There are ECUG, NCMPG, AISLG,
FFS, SAR, NCS1G, NSL, and CWS
just to name a few. In the midst of
all of the words just remember
that there is always a liaison be-
tween the paper work and the
person and that is the Aid advisor.
If a person is eligible for a particu-
lar form of Grant or Aid keeping in
touch with the financial aid office
will insure their chance of finding
out.
Lastly, keep in mind that even
though there are strict deadlines
in the search for financial assis-
tance, nothing is written in stone
and it is never too late or too early

ECU to host fourth annual Summer
Institute for Teachers of the Gifted
School programs for academically gifted students fail to meet the
needs of some very bright children who are not easily identified or

Often these children are handicapped, learning-disabled, very
young or from minority cultures or ethnic groups.
These "special gifted pupils" will be the focus of "Casting a Wide
Net ECU'S fourth annual Summer Institute for Teachers of the Gifted.
The program will be held on campus July 9-19.

states of the Mid-Atlantic areas
President Bush announced
lune 26 that he would place large
areas of the U.S. coastline off-lim-
its to federal offshore oil and gas
lease sales until the end ot the
decade. The Bush moratorium
announcement included addi-
tional areas off Florida and Cali-

Oregon, Washington and New
England. The only areas left open
toleasingareintheGulf of Mexico
and the Atlantic coast.
Chairman Jones, whose Com-

President Bush:
"Dear Mr. President:
The citizens of Horida and
California have been waiting for
many months for the announce-

imposing an offshore oil and gas
leasing moratorium off their coast-
lines that will last throughout the
remainder of this decade. I am
sure they were pleased by our
announcement, as were the citi-
zens of Oregon and New England
who, unexpectedly were also in-
cluded in the moratorium.
Given the inclusion of areas
tha t we had believed were beyond
the scope of the Task Force's rec-
ommendations, I am equally sure
that the citizens of the Atlantic
seaboard were disheartened to
find that leasing is still a possibil-

In a remote valley of Mexico
this spring, ECU students and
professors buil t durable, low-cost
houses ti replace cactus huts for
poverty-stricken peasants.
The project waspartof a new
workstudy course in construc-
tion management offered
through ECU's School of Indus-
try and Technology.
Eight students from the De-
partment of Construction Man-
agement and from the Department
of Geography and Planning were
enrolled in the course to study third
world building problems and to
learn about the geography and cul-
ture of Mexico.
The group spent 11 days in
central Mexico living among the
Oteme people of the Mezquital Val-
ley. VVorkingatseveral sites, the stu-
dents helped local families construct
homes of cinder block and mortar.
The houses, although simple, are
stronger and more durable than the
cactus huts they replaced.
Mexican families buy the new
houses at low cost wi th no interest
government loans.
"This program was an excel-
lent opportunity for our graduate
students to learn housing technol-
ogy by actually doing it said
Thomas C. Shleifer, a lecturer in
the School of Industry and Tech-
nology, who developed the course.
"We lived in the village and
worked alongside the people who
acutally live in the houses we built.

American youth are being

ages are false, a group oi public

nar on the ECU campus last week.

seminar on "The Arab World and

Techniques" at ECU.
The conference is sponsored
by the .C. Department of Public
lnstmction, the N.C. Committee
on American-Arab Affairs Coun-
cil and the ECU Office of Interna-
tional Studies. About 60 teachers
attended the opening session.
"Our duty is to focus on this
important area of the world and to
create a constructive and positive
world view Webb said, he said
that the purpose for the two-dav
meeting was the to increase inter-
national understanding of Arabs
and Islam.
A number of Arab world ex-
perts served as speakers for the
seminar.

Pubantz, a professor oi political

Other speakers Thursday in-
cluded Dr. Hala Maksoud, a lec-
turer and author. Dr. Aida Bamia,
an associate professor Arabic
Language and Literature at the
University of Florida and Dr.
Yousef Alkadi, an author and edu-
cator.
The number of students in
the Arab countries has increased
from five top30 million since 1950
said Dr. Maksoud. She said the
number of universities have in-
creased for eight to 82 in the last 40
years.
She explained that much of
the conflict among the Arab coun-
tries was created by Britain and
France when the Arab countries
were colonized and divided. She
said this division created much of
the disunity that exists today.
"We want to feel we have a
great civilization but we do not
feel we have to develop Western
attitudes to do this Maksoud
said.She said Americans "need to
unlearn a great deal of what has
been taught
Dr. Aida Ramia compared
Arab society to a "well-formed
pyramid" with a strong founda-
tion. She said religion is the center
of people's lives and also plays an
important role in the political life
of the countries. She said an un-
derstandingof the religion (Islam)
is important to understanding the
people.
Teachers attending the con-
ference were given a number of
publicationsabout the Arab world
including a copy of the Koran, the
religious book from which Mus-
lim derive religious thought and
beliefs.

The area around Minges Coliseum
was that chosen site It seems funny that
same area is also used tor parking at Pirate
football and basketball games (which Pirate
Club members pay an extraordinary tee to
use)
The anticipated cry over raised sticker
fees was thwarted this year by the Traffic &
Parking Committee, which in their last meet-
ing decided instead to make parking and
traffic fines some ol the highest of any uni-
versit) in the state.
Charging the poor man is a sorrv ex-
cuse to increase the Parking Fund, when
ine ol the committee members saidthat a
sticker hike will occur regardless in 1991.
V h not ust double the stickers now
instead nt next year and keep the fines as
they were? The logic of the committee seems
to follow the parable of Paul and Peter.

We trust them, not for their credi-

too often about rights, like free-
dom of speech, but not that rights
can be abused.
Thrown into an increasingly
competitive college environment,
few were taught how to live in an
increasingly multicultural, plural-
istic society.
Since 1961, William Paterson
College, a state school in Union,
N.J has required that all under-
graduates must take one of three
three-credit courses: "Women's
Changing Roles "Justice and
Racism: The African American
Experience or "Racism and Sex-
ism in the United States
"At first students had nega-
tive expectations, they wanted to
get on with their majors said
Paula Rothenberg, a philosophy
professor who pioneered the pro-
gram. "Now we have students say
it was the most valuable course
they took in college.
Learning about racism, the
students discovered, isn't just
learning theory and history.
It's learning about everyday
life. And that's appropriate: Many
are finding out, "everyday life" is
as good a definition of racism as
any.

As the I -haul trailer, or what some refer to as a
I -haul-it approached the county line, it danced
with anticipation behind my chaotic driving. The flat
lands of Eastern Torth arolina, laced with pine and
tobacco, indiii ed a grin on one of Ms wayward sons.
On that sweltering lime day like a pressure
v ookerin theairconditionlessC hev wagon - the last
few feet ol (ireene ount ran rough. And then the
green and white sign "Entering I'm" appeared and
the road turned into a smooth black ribbon As the
vehicle maintained its steady 40 miles per hour, a
chorus of Kb .Ms Don t Go Back To Rockville"
blasted trom the shot speakers of the old A.C Delco
radio. There was no turning back.
Upon seeing Bs Barbecue on Highway 43, the
realization hit me: back to Greenville 1 had come
again. The reinitiation lacked ceremonial splendor
as 1 waved to the inseparable twins whom inces-
santly walk up and down 10th Street wearing their
identical spectacles and stme-sized brogans. As I
showed Ed and Jed mv palm, the loquacious twin
looked 10 his mute sibling and asked, "Brother, who
was that man with the U-haul-it?"
The walking brothers; the coffee regulars at
krispy-kreme; the spraying fountain in front of
Wnght Auditorium; the gregarious evening crowds
at Sub Station; the stolid lion before Mr. C's Night
Club; and the omnipresent cashier at Stop 'N' Shop,
all greeted me on mv return like 1 had never left. To
borrow from an Eagles' lyric, Greenville is a place
where vou can check out, but never leave.

So here this strange odyssey of living, lovingand
loathing in the citv by the Tar continues. After going
through long stages of denial, I have succumbed to
my dcstinv and become for a time at peace with the
decision to comeback after a year's absence.
Old friends - some who have faced similar fate -
look at me in wonderment and ask "Why did you
come back?" This I have asked myself. I surrendered
a sports editorship at a small town daily where the
pay was not bad for a lowly journalist whose sole
duty was to report on ball garni -
But among the endless pee-wee baseba
reports, church Softball games, and weekly
bowling reviews a voice from within haunt

But since catapulted into a small town whu I
the highest illiteracy rate in the state, into a tow n ?? tl

light.
Not until one is swooned to a new environment
does one come to know the beauty of yon hither
Shakespearean green world where fantasy revels in
abandon. On these pods and hlhes. there are but
dreamlike creatures called students and liberals - a
constituency which allows the now here to be.
No where else has such a brew of intellects and
rednecks, freaks and geeks - vou supply the rhyming
stereotypes - who coexist somewhat peacefully. The
diversity of its constitution and the inherentconflk I
provides an entertaining setting.
This is not to incite clashes among Greenvillians
but rather to compliment this berg and its people tor
its radicalness and progressive nature Odd is this
combination, in one end but a euphoric si te and at the
other hill of convergenceof ideas 1 prefer this strange
integration, for in towns where abstinence, duck-pin
bowling results and Jesse Helms reign king, 1 am
often bored.

Who is this Tim E. Hampton

columns about blasphemous
writerand cheap two-bits whores?
1 am referring to the last publica-
tion of your newspaper (June 27)
in which Mr. Hampton, if he is so
worth of such a title, deputed the
exploits of one Dr. Hunter S. Th-
ompson, a know n sinner and. d rug
user.
I felt the columnist sympa-
thized withThompson'sacquittal
on multiply drug and assault
charges. I think the fool should be
hanged like we did Muscleean in
WWII. What is more, Thompson
is a true anarchist who was found
to be in possession of several sticks
of dynamite and according to CIA
reports was'plotting to blow-up
the Aspen Police Department.
Instead of congratulating this so
called Gonzo journalist on "his

that Hampton should have sad

China have snowballed to change
the face of communism and the
Cold War. The American vision of
democracy served as a catalyst to
create that change, and as we cele-
brate another Independence Da v.
it's time we begin new initiatives
for lasting peace.
As the perceived threat of
Communism diminishes, manv
are calling for slashes in military
spending. "One Percent for Peace
takes that call one step further.
"Defense cuts, though cer-
tainly important, merely offer a
scaled-down version of the global
standoff we've known for loo
long says Neil Schwartzbach,
executive director of "One Per-
cent for Peace
"With a positive peace
agenda, wecan helpcrcatea world
where the people of all nations
can work together to confront the
global problems that threaten us
all ? problems like world hunger,
inadequate housing and environ-
mental destruction
Part of the money raised by
"One Percent for Peace" goes
toward lobbying Congress for the
budget allotment, and the rest
fundsactual programs promoting
peace in the world now.
Schwartzbach says people-to-
people projects like rehabilitating
low income housing in Massachu-
setts, replanting the rain forest in
Costa Rica or sponsoring student
exchange visits with the Soviet
Union can create a solid founda-
tion tor lasting peace.
Indeed personal relationships
are the key to unlocking the fear
that has held the world in its grip-
since one human first clubbed
another For the world is not al-
ways a reasonable place. It is a
reflection tt human struggle that
will not become gentle and fair
until we touch the place in our-
selves that cherishes gentleness
and fairness.
i o e years ago, I visited an Air
Force base and met some of the
men who worked in underground
silos that hold nuclear missiles. If
war werededared, these were the
people who would turn the keys
and push the launch buttons.
As a rule military personnel
tend to be extremely suspicious of
journalists, but when I met Dave,
the captain of one crew, I saw a
softening in his eyes. 1 wanted to
interview these people outside
their work station, meet their
families and talk about nuclear
war and peace from a personal
point of view, without a military
public relations officer present.
I asked Dave if he would let
me interview his familv, and to
the public relations officer's sur-
prise, Dave agreed. When 1
stepped into Dave's home, I knew
why. Dave's wife Kim was Ko-
rean.
The couple had two lovely
children and a third on the way,
and we talked about how they
met when Dave was on a tour in
Korea. The love between them was
evident, and they shared openly
about the marriage of two cul-
tures.
I know that Dave's openness
to me, an Asian-Amencan jour-
nalist, was due to his trust in his
wifeand her family, the first Kore-
ans he had reallv ever met.
"I accept his ob said Kim. "I
trv not to think about war happen-
ing. All we can do is enjoy our
family and love each other
Ultimately, the only way to
prevent war is to live a life of
peace, and as we begm the 1990s,
it is important to see that the more
global connections are strength-
ened, the harder it will be to not
hu ve peace.

l.uke, an apostle of Jesus, rec-
ords an historical story about a
woman who had been sick for 12
years. During those 12 years she
spent all her money paying doc-
tors, but none of them could cure
her illness. After following behind
Jesus and touching the border of
his garment, she was healed.
Jesus said to her, "Daughter,
be of good comfort: thy faith hath
made thee whole; go in peace
duke 8:48) Her monev and her
doctors had nothing to do with
her cure. Her faith in fesus brought
the healing tor which she had been
searching.
This is one of manv accounts
ot the healing ministry of Jesus.
The Bible savs: "And Jesus went
about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, and
preaehine the gospel oi the king-
dom, and healing every sickness
and every disease among the
people (Matthew 9:35)
"The blind receive their sight
and the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the
dead are raised up, and the poor
have thegospel preached to them.
And blessed is he, whosoever shall
not be offended in me (Matthew
11:5-6)
Sceptics with their faith in
science and penicillin have a hard
time believing this. Many Chris-
tians also find this hard to believe.
It's easv to believe the rainbow

never again flood the earth, but it
is hard to believe the promise that

miraculous healing sounds impos-
sible. Nevertheless, the Bible says,

RJ. Reynolds tests a new product
Cigarette designed to emit a good smell
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) ?
R.I. Reynolds Tobacco Co. is test-
ing a cigarette in Atlanta adver-
tised as "the first cigarette that
smells good
The Horizon cigarette was
launched in May, more than a year
atter Reynolds abandoned an at-
tempt to market a near-smokeless
cigarette called Premier.
"It'sdcsigned toemita 'fresh'
aroma when lit said Deidre K.
Dyer, a spokeswoman for Win-
ston-Salem-based Reynolds. The
100-millimeter cigarette comes in
both regular and menthol ver-
sions.
Opinions differ widely on
what Horizon's smoke actually
smells like.
"To me, they smell like some
sortofaromatic pipe tobaccosaid
Bill King, manager of W.C. King,a
cigarette wholesaler in suburban
Atlanta. "But I've heard other
people say thev smell like vanilla
. . or even flowers
King isn't sure it Horizon will
find a home in cigarette racks
across the country.
"For a brand, I guess they've
been going fair he told theGnons-
boro News & Record. "But it's got-
ten so hard for a new brand to
break in
A cigarette whose smoke
doesn't offend nonsmokers would
be a tremendous coup for the
embattled tobacco industry. That
isconfirmed in Reynolds' research.
which indicates a significant
number of smokers would be inter-
ested in a cigarette th u produces a
better-5meihngsmoke, Dyersakl.
Many of them desire a ciga-
rette that doc -n't bother nonsmok-
ers. Horizon "is a way to not of-
fend those people and stili smoke
a good cigarette Dyer said.
Reynolds makes no health
claims that Horizon's smoke is any
different than that of other ciga-
rettes.
Horizon's secret is in cigarette
paper, not tobacco. Ihe paper is
treated through a special process
that uses food flavorings - pri-
marily vanilla and glucose ? to

Insurance
premiums
to increase
RALEIGH (AP) The auto
insurance industry has requested
an increase in rates an increase
that would SCC main North Caro-
lina drivers paying as much as 9.6
percent more in premiums.
The N.C. Kale Bureau ?
which represents the insurance
industry ? filed the request late
1 nday afternoon, citing increases
in the costs of medical care and
auto repairs.
If approved, the increase
would allow insurance companies
to collect an additional $125 mil-
lion a year in premiums from
North Carolina motorists, the in-
surance department said.
The department depicted the
request asexcessive. The Newand
I Htstnxrot Raleigh reported.
The price rf insurance varies
greatly from driver to driver and
depends on factors such as driv-
ing record and the type of car in-
sured. But the Rate Bureau said
motorists who buv minimum-lia-
bility coverage and physical-
damage coverage ? collision and
comprehensive ? would face an
average increase of 4.9 percent.
Above those basic levels, the
request would raise rates an aver-
age of 9.6 percent, the insurance
department said.
"An increase of nearly 10
percent would have a severe
impact ondnvers.es pecially those
of middleincomes, many of whom
buv the increased coverages said
Roger Langley, a senior deputy
insurance commissioner.
Insurance Commissioner
James Long has rejected rate in-
creases each of the last three years
and ordered rate reductions. The
Rate Bureau has appealed those
rulings,and thecasesare pending
in the courts.

Arsenic poison trial continued

Over tlie objections of defense

three men
Mrs. Moore's. ,ks, m hkhh.id
been scheduled tor trial July 29,
probably will not be heard before
the middle of Q tober. 1 ler attor-
Mitchell Mel ntire, said I ri-
t! his client's riv;ht to a
Speedy trial is being ignored. He
declined to say if he would file a
motion to demand a trial at the
earliest possible date
Mrs Moore, 57 ot Burling
ton, is harged with two counts ot
first-degree murder in the poison-
ing of her tirst husband, lames N
I avlor of Burlington, and her for-
mer boyfriend, Raymond Reidof
Kernersville. She i!m faces two
. ounts of assault on charges that
she poisoned hercurrent husband,
the Rev. Dwight Moore.
Although there are several
important motions already pend-
ing, none were called at the bnet
hearing. District Attorney Warren
Sparrow s,ud it now appears that
the cases could take tour weeks to
try because prosecutors could call
as manv as 7 witnesses and the
defense may call another 23.
Sparrow s.ud that prosecutors
need additional time to perform
tests on a letter signed by Gravin
Ihomas of Burlington that pur-
ports to be a death-bed confession
to the crimes. And Sparrow said
that the trial could probably not
be finished before judge William
Freeman is scheduled to begin an
important civil trial Aug. 27.
Freeman is to preside over the
trial of a lawsuit tiled by K&W
Cafeterias Inc. against Piedmont
Natural Gas Co. over the gas ex-
plosion that destroyed the K&W
on Stratford Road in Winston-
Salem in January 1988. Freeman
has been assigned to that case for
almost a year.
Freeman said Friday that he
expects the K&W tnal to take as
long as four weeks. He would need
a break after that trial before he
could start Mrs. Moore's case,
Freeman said, and he has a week
of vacation scheduled in October.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) ? A
North Carolina State University
swimming coach was negligent
when a swim team member died
of heatstroke in 1987 during a run
in 86 degree weather, a deputy
commissioner of the N.C. Indus-
trial Commission has ruled.
The state must pay $100,000
to the estate of Onno Johannes
Schild, who died at age 19 eight
days after collapsing on the train-
ing run, DeputyCommissionerW.
Joey Barnes ruled last week.
In thccomplaint filed with the
Industrial Commission, the
Schilds' attorney described W.
Donald Easterling'scoaching style
as "a pattern of sadistic and 'win
at any cost' behavior
"I hope the university will
understand something needs to
be done for the swimming pro-
gram ? more rules and regula-
tions Sua Schild of Covington,
La mother of the swimmer, told
The Newsand Observerof Raleigh
in a telephone interview.
Mrs. Schild said her son had
gone on a crash diet to lose about
30 pounds because he was afraid
of the coach's threats about taking
away his athletic scholarship.
Easterling could not be
reached for comment. He has
coached the N.C. State team for 20
years, and his teams have won 16
Atlantic Coast Conference cham-
pionships.
Elisha H. Bunting, special
deputy attorney general represent-
ing the university, and university
counsel Becky R. French both
declined to comment Friday, say-
ing they had yet to discuss the
ruling.
But Ms. French said there had
been no change in Easterling's
status as coach. N.C. State's new
athletics director, Todd Turner,
said he knew nothing about the
case.
The Schilds filed the wrong-
ful death claim last year, charging
both Easterling and lames
Rehbock, N C. State coordinator
of sports medicine, with negli-
gence in their duties. The ruling,
issued Monday, cites negligence
only on the part of Easterling.
"On 11 September 1987,
Donald Easterling was negligent
in failing to check the heat and
humidity index and in requiring
Onno Schild, who Easterling knew
or should have known was dehy-
drated from rapid weight loss
which had been ordered by Eas-
terling, to run in a hot and humid
environment at a much greater
than normal I v accepted risk for
that sport the ruling said.
The state cannot be given
credit for the $125351 paid to the
swimmer's parents by an insur-
ance policy the university has for
its athletes, Barnes said.
The commission hears claims
of negligence filed against the state
and its agencies. The commission
canorderawardsofupto$100,000.
The state has 15 days to appeal the
ruling to the full three-member
commission. Further appeals are
made through the courts.
A civil suit has also been filed
on behalf of the Schilds in Wake
County Superior Court against
both Easterling and Rehbock.
A native of the Netherlands
who grew up in Louisiana, Onno
Schild began his sophomore year
at N.C. State 36 pounds heavier
than he had been the previous
swimming season.
He had lost six or seven
pounds in the first lOdaysback at
school, his father, JohannesSchild,
said in an earlier interview. "It
was dangerous ? was he losing
fluid or fat?" he said.
The coach, in the presence ol
the team, had strongly ordered
Onno Schild to lose weight, call-
ing him a "fat pig" and "Pillsbury
doughboy but had not given
specific instructions on how to do
so, the ruling said.

at 50 percent off list, just before he
leaves to attend a manufacturer's
seminar on the evils of grav mar-
keting, he unloads the PCs to a
grav market mail-order house for
10 percent more than he paid.
The gray marketeer offers the
PCs to the public tor around 20
percent more than he paid. That
puts th price at about 25 percent
less th.in suggested retail.
So with manufacturer, author-

Maybe. The catch is in war-

Finding that he had an obsession with the guitar in

Dickson say s that even though
slang's detractors believe it "per-

that slang enriches the language
1 le is the author of a number
of books on language, the latest of
which is Slang! The Topic-bv-

Dickson defines slang as
"language that thumbs its nose at
conventional English, one that
goes in the opposite direction.
It can be brutally frank or
funny he adds.
According to its publisher,
"Slang is the first book in half a
century to define slang terms ar-

chapters are sections on sports,
law, automobiles and real estate,
as well as Pentagonese, bureau-

Certain chapters can help
"outsiders" better understand the

Although the likelihood of
time travel is less than none, the
actorsand actresses involved bring
an unexpected authenticity to
"Back to the Future 111
Fox has an easier role in the
third film than in the second. In
the third film Fox only plays two
roles, Marty McFly of 1985 and his
Irish ancestor, Seamus McFly. In
the first film, he played one Marty
McFly(1985). In the sequel. Fox
played three Marty McFlys, Marty
McFly Junior (the son of the older
1985 Marty) and Marlene McFly
(the daughter of the older 1985
Marty). Adding to the confusion,
this film has two Martys of 1985
simultaneously trying to escape
1955.
Keeping with the family tra-
dition, Lea Thompson, who has
played Lorraine McFly in all three
films, is also back. In the third film
Thompson plays Lorraine (1985)
and Maggie McFly (1885), the wi fe
of Seamus McFly.
The villain's name changes
from Biff to Griff and back to Biff
in the first two films. However, in
Future III, Thomas F. Wilson por-
trays the source of the Tannen

Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. The
villains, consistently played by
Wilson, give the audience charac-
ters to hate as they cheer for the
heros, Fox and Lloyd.

actors is easier to watch than it is
to read about
Fox, as well as the other per-
formers developed each of the
characters as individuals with
their own voices, gestures and
mannerisms. The costumes and
make-up in Future III also make
the time travel less confusing for
the audience.
The 1885 portions oi Future
III were filmed about 350 miles
north of Los Angeles around
Sonora, California. The red dust
and open space of the desert,
impossible to duplicate in a stu-
dio, set an authentic stage of the

Apparel of the '90s
may be dangerous
Health takes
precedence
over fashion
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -
Theold saw about suffering in the
name of fashion has real signifi-
cance with today's styles, says Dr.
Leonard W. Morgan, assistant
professor of family medicine at
the University of Oklahoma
I iealth Sciences Center.
Waist-cinching belts, tight-
fitting leans and tight shirt collars
can cause or aggravate health
problems, he says. Bv far the worst
of fenders are shoes.
"People buv shoes for style.
not for comfort. Frequently the
shoes are too narrow, have inade-
quate cushioning in the soles, or
are ill-fitting. This can lead to
everything from tired feet, corns
and calluses to serious foot prob-
lems that require surgery
Close-fitting garments also
cause problems. "Tight clothes
interfere with blood circulation to
the skin. Too-tight shirt collarsand
ties can interfere somewhat with
blood flow to the brain. For people
who already have arteriosclero-
sis, which is impeded blood flow-
to the brain, tight collars and ties
can increase their risk of prob-
lems says Morgan. Similarly,
knee-high hose or tight socks can
contribute todevelopment of van-
cose veins, he adds.
Summer or winter, people
should try to protect themselves
from the sun. There is no such
thing asa'healthy'tan. The rays of
the sun are quite damaging, as the
rising incidence of skin cancer
proves he says. He thinks most
people make their worst clothing
mistakes in the summer; dark,
close-fitting clo thing traps warmth
and can contribute to heat stroke.
He advises people to choose light
colors in loose-fitting styles to al-
low airflow next to the skin.

Vocalist Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden has issued his
first solo effort titled "Tattooed Millionaire According to
popular rumor, the self-titled single was written about Axl
Rose of Guns-n-Roses. However, Dickinson changed the
lyrics to point at the lifestyle of Motley Crue singer Vince
Neil in fear of Rose's over-publicized "seek and destroy"
attitude. Dickinson is planning a U.S. tour that kicks off on
July 15 at The Boathouse in Norfolk, Va. Until next week,

WASHINGTON ?The cur-

plish Drake University president
Michael Ferrari said.
"It has the potential of under-
cutting everything we are trying
to accomplish, and that would be
a tragedy Southern Methodist
president Kenneth Pve said.
At issue is whether recent
peculationaboutamaor revamp-
ing of the nation's top eight col-
lege sports conferences into three
to five super-conterences could
thwart efforts to reform college
athletics
In recent weeks, speculation
has run wild with reports oi ex-
pansion of the Southeastern and
Metro conferences into a lh-team
mega-grouping of major football
and basketball schools, the possi-
bilitv of a break-up of the South-
west and Big Eight conferences
and expansion of the Pacific-10
and Big Ten conferences.
NCAA executive director
Dick Schultz said the speculation
and apparent negotiationsamong
some conferences has prompted
him to warn conference commis-
sioners to be careful.
"I think there had been a little
too much wild speculation and
not enough reflection in some of
these cases he said.
At the same time, Schultz said
the recent expansion of the Big
Ten to include Penn State and the
decision by Notre Dame to nego-
tiate its own national contract for
television broadcast of Irish foot-
ball games has led others to look
at their options.

Little League baseball educates young as well as old
. .icii;?i nnni Hraw fmm a area with a "We have eieht teams
By Sharon Anderson
Staff Writer
little league baseball is an
educational sport. According to
Little league commissioner, Dan
Gordon, "It teaches youngsters
baseball, winning, losing and
sportsmanship
Greenville little League has
eight teams in the Tarheel league,
eight teams in the North State
I eague and eight teams in the
minor leagues.
The North State league was
the first league started in Green-
ville, and then the Tarheel league
was added last year. Both of the
loagues are charted with the na-
tional program in Willamsport
Pennsylvania Gordon said.
"Sometimes you do have to sub-
mit the charter, you got to have
the constitution, a map of vour
area and pay a charter fee to the
national program If you charter
a league vou must also have a
minor league for that league. The
minor league is tor all the hildren
who are not picked tor the North
state or Tarheel league.
The Greenville Little I eague
tryoutsarein April. ihechildren
come for a week or trvoufs and
then thev are evaluated on things
like batting, catchingand running
The teams that have lost players
from the previous year then draft
the players they want. The last
place team from the previous vear
gets the first draft pick.
The Greenville Little I eague
divides the players into the Tar-
heel or North State League in a
unusual way. "We are probably
the only 1 i ttle league program that
d i v ides the players from on league
to another by there house num-
ber said commissioner Gordon
The league has a 13-player
roster and a mandatory player
rule, which states that it vou have
less than a 15-player roster, each
player must have six defensive
outs and one bat. A defensive out
is when you are in the field, an
offensive out is when you are at
bat.
The league also has a substi-
tution rule, which states, when
you put in a substitute, the subsb-
tute stays in for six defensive outs
and one bat. Then you can re-
insert a player from the original
line up back into the game.
"It used to be that the manag-
ers had the discrimination to play
who they wanted Gordon re-
membered. "In my opinion, as
much time as the managers put in
they should be allowed to play
who they want.
"Just like we use nine to t wel ve
year olds Gordon explained. "To
take a nine-year-old and put him
up against a twelve-year-old
pitcher is kind of lop-sided. It
might scare to boy so bad he might
never become a ball player
All boys and girls between
the ages of nine and twelve who
live within a six mile radius of
Greenville can try out for the
leagues. Each individual league
cannot draw from a area with a
population over a 20,000. "The
area we draw from said com-
missioner Gordon, "has a popula-
tion of about 40,000, so we have
two different leagues Children
outside this area can pay the
Greenville Recreational and Parks
Department, a non-residential fee
to become eligible to play. This
fee lasts for one vear.
This season began at the end
ot April and ends on July 7th. Chil-
dren between 11 and 12 are picked
at the end ot the regular season to
play on the All-Star team for the
Distncttournament. Tbeonlyones
who have a vote m the All-Star
team is the managers and they
submit a ballot. Then the ballot is
tabulated.

The area tournaments will be

nament, you have to lose twice
before you are out. The winner of
the District tournament will ad-
vance to the state tournament that
wil bo held in the Western part of
the state on the 30th of uly.
According to Gordon,
"Greenville I ittle League has won
the district and state tournaments
on several occasions. The Green-
ville Little League went to the
regional tournament in South
Florida in 1)70 and 1987. They
have come in second place in the
state tournament for the past two
years
Greenville Little League is a
parent supported organization.
Commissioner Gordon stated.
"Parents are urged to help by
working the concession stand, but
there are problems during inner
league plav because the mothers'
want to watch their children play
instead of working Finances
come from team sponsor, parents'
fees,donationsof money or equip-
ment, concession stands, and the
annual "Luncheon-Supper
"The Luncheon-Supper" said
the Commissioner, "is something
that started 20 to 30yearsago. It is
an annual affair to try to raise
money, because it is our main
source of income. We average
from 2,200 to 2,800 plates that we
fix in one day. This year, because
of the price of chicken last year,
we raised the price of tickets from
three dollars to four dollars
The little league players sell
tickets for their one fund raiser
and are rewarded with prizes for
the most tickets sold. The women's
auxiliary, who also handles the
concession stands, fixes the plates
and sends them to Film Street,
where the people ride bv and pick
up their plates.
Gordon has been commis-
sioner of the Greenville Little
League for 2b years. He was the
President of the Tarheel league in
11 and 12. Gordon remem-
bered, "At that time there was no
little league board, none of the
managers had anv say so in the
program. There was only a super-
visor and two league presidents.
"They asked me to run for
President of the Tarheel league
and 1 was President in 1961 and
1962 He went out of the pro-
gram for four years because his
sons graduated. When the pro-
gram went broke, Gordons'
friends asked him to help the
program get back on its feet.
Cordon said, "Several friends of
mine came and asked me to help
them out. I thought about it from
two weeks before I told them I
would help" Gordon has been
with the program ever since.
Gordon claimed, "I have
tried to resign twice, but no one
wants to take my job, because we
didn' t have anyone who knew eve-
rything to do and when to do it
His main jobs arc dealing with
parents, scheduling games, rec-
ommending coaches and manag-
ers for the Board of Directors ap-
proval, and gathering prices lor
equipment
The commissioner said he
decided to join the Little League
program because he "likes to help
kids He claimed that "you can
never do to much to help kids stay
off the streets and out of trouble
and all the effort the program
makes is well worth the trouble
The Greenville Recreaiion and
Parks Department helps by mark-
ing off the fields for the games,
cutting the grass and helping with
the cleaning and maintenance of
the fields. Gordon stated, "We do
not get any tax money from the
United Funds City of Greenville,
although the Recreational Com-
mission that is in charge of the
recreational department is com-
mitted to the League. They helped
build the new Perkins Complex.
That has two fields
Over the past 25 years there
have been many students and
faculty from ECU who have
helped with the Little League
program. Most of those who have
helped out have been coaches,
managers or umpires.
ECU's former baseball coach,
George Williams, has helped the
program. Dr. Jimmy Grimsly, with
the Athletic Department, also has
give some of his time. Pat Biz-
zarre of the English Department,
is a manager at this time. Gordon
remembers, "Pat got upset with
one of the umpires and I thought
the umpire was going to kick him
out of the game, but he never did.
I told Pat. that was one time the
umpire should have kicked him
out
Manv of the students at ECU
J
are umpires. Marion Harrington
who is a student as well as an
umpire declared, "It is a way to
keep in touch with baseball as well
as being able to teach the kids. In
little league, being a coach is like
being a teacher, being an umpire
is like being the principal Har-
rington also said, "Little league
keeps vou young and you can
watch the kids grow and develop
as the season progresses This is
the first year Harrington has

In an overall view of campus,
the recreational services will con-
tinue to take care of the beach
volleyball courts and other areas.
Also they are developing a pro-
gram called "New Adventures"
which will begin in the fall. This
program will help groups learn to
work better as a group and learn
to rely on the members of the

A student recreational center
has been proposed to the state.
Upon getting a affirmative reply
from the state, East Carolina will

Bush vetoes parental leave bill
Ti n. Amalgamate! Pki ss
President Bush yesterday vetoed
legislation that would have guaran
teed workers 45 minutes of unpaid
leave per century for the birth oi a
child or the serious illness of a family
member. Supporters oi the measure
had noted that employers often fired
workers who left work to attend to
such matters, thereby unconstitution-
ally forcing them to give up their lunch
hours instead.
But critics have charged that
workers should expect to have to lose
their jobs if they want to raise a family
or support a terminally ill relative,
because it was hardly responsible of
them to get a job in the first place if
t hey were just go i n g to ha v e to lea ve i t
briefly every couple of decades to try
to make another human being's life
worth living, or something equally
unimportant, and that, anyhow, they
should be thankful that they even have
lunch hours to give up.
The critics' critics counter that
forcing workers to give up their lunch
hours leaves them distracted .md
grumpy, thereby lowering produc-
tivity. As Senator Christopher
Ddddodddd said during debate on
the Senate floor, "Who can attend to
work when their tummv's rumbling?"
But the critics' critics' critics insist
that foresight can alleviate such mat-
ters. Packing a bag lunch, they say, or
bringing along some of those nifty
self-contained soup cups which come
in a wide variety of delicious flavors,
just right for those times when you
want a good, hearty, nourishing meal,
but don't want the hassle, or more
likely don't want your boss to start
ragingandscreammgand making the
veins in his head stand out like a road
map while you cringe and grovel and
feel desperately ashamed and angry
because vou know your co-workers
are secretly enjoying thisand you wish
to Cod you had the strength of charac-
ter to stand up to the jerk and make
him treat you like a human being
worthy of dignity and respect and not
like some insignificant cog in the cor-

ual frustrations and inadequacies

The critics' critics' critics' critics
disagree, noting that the soup cups
actually only come in three or four
flavors, and anyway, isn't this just a
bit oft the point?
The critics' critics critics' critics'
critics, by contrast, have entirely lost
track of which side they're on.
But the critics' critics' critics' crit-
ics' critics' critics know which side
they're on. They're on the side of the
bill, and they have repeatedly blasted
President Bush for his opposition to
it, pointing out that he's hardly living
up to his "pro-family" campaign
promises.
"Don't get me wrong Bush re-
plied "I'm for the family. I like fami-
lies I've got a family. I lookout tor m
family Especially Neil, with that
messed up S&L of his. I'm a big sup-
porter ot families, just not when it's
had tor business
Other supporters of the bill
showed up at a press conference last
night, asking (without even raising
their hands, darn them!) when Bush
would be getting around to doing
some good for the working families of
this country.
"Don't have an answer for that
said the President. "All the facts just
aren't in. Gonna have to study it a
little more. According to those1 expert
guys out there, they say we'll have to
study it 'til 1996. January 22, 1996.

Greenville's war against drugs
continued in full force today, as the

reclaimed several blocks of 5th Street
from the dread drug menace
Pinned down under heavy tire
from marijuana cigarettes, no prog

the day. But then the 34th received
help from the ROTC and the v'th

pushed the Mary lanes dubbed
"roaches" by the brave men on the
Iront lines almost all the way back
to their defensive positions on tin-

Plain Talkin'
By Alvin Newhart
ECU Today founder
That Marion Barry guy what
a bum. I mean, it's bad enough the
guy was a druggie. But the worst
part is that he went around before
he got busted, lecturing to young
impressionable kids, and he had the
gall to appear perfectly normal when
he did it!
jeez, these are the same kids
we've been telling for the last ten
years that it they use drugs even
once, even just experimenting,
they'll turn into raving slavering
slobbering hopelessly screwed-up
maniacs, and then this Barry jerk
has to go and prove you can be a
regular user and still function nor-
mally . Now we have to start all over!
I hope he gets a hundred years, just
for that. Does he have any idea how
much he cost America's taxpayers
in propaganda costs alone?
And wait ? I know I said that
part was the worst part, but this is
even worse than that. So forget
where I said that other part was the
worst part. I mean, it's still really
bad, just not the worst. Second worst,
tops. But this is the worst part.
The worst part is that he had the
nerve to say on tape that he didn't
know how to smoke the crack pipe.
And this is after the government's
been saying that he was such a big
crack user. Ethel ? that's my wife ?
she smokes crack, and she says it
that Barry guy was using it, he'd've
known how to use the pipe; he
couldn't forget or nothing. Like rid-
ing a bike, that's what Ethel said.
What nerve! I think he should get
another hundred years, just for
damaging the government's case.
What a jerk that guy is. Com-
forting to know the government's
so zealously protecting us from him.

VOICES Was Barry's arrest fair, or was the government just out to gel him?
C. Shell, 32
Flasher
Greenville, N.C.
Oh,absolutely fair. Noquestion I
mean, if Barry hadn't stood in the way
of the Bush administration's ability to
convince Jesse Jackson to take over
D.C, thereby effectively neutralizing
him for a few years and making it
easier for Bush to get the black vote in
'92, the government would still have
gone after Barry with the same vigor.
P. iza, 32
Tree impersonator
Grifton, N.C.
Actually, maybe the government
should have left Barry alone unless
they had someunambiguouscvidence
that he was compromising his job as
mayor. Then they could have gotten a
fair warrant and searched his place or
asked him to take a d rug test The sad
thing is, this position sounds hope-
lessly liberal these days.
A. Kinbak,32

Ay den, N.C.
'Fair7?! What does fair' have to
do with it? Listen, son, the govern-
ment said he was a druggie, and they
wouldn't say that unless they had a
darn good reason. As soon as they
said that, Barry should have quit and
gone to jail voluntanlv. He deserves
anything they do to him, because he
didn't blindly respect authority.

reshooting kev segments of film to
comely with the new code
I he new c(de is as follows:
CG ? Congressional Guidance
Suggested- Movies rated CG mav
inchide such unpatriotic scenesas flag

someone's home without a warrant
and individuals thinking tor them-
selves. Congressmen should accom-
pany all filmgoers to these movies to
avoid any misinterpretation of the

which contain curse words, Satanic
rock-and-roll music, anything even
resembling a sexual encounter be-
tween unmarried people, or anything
that depicts married people doing
anything besides the missionary po-
sition in bed. or which have plots
which suggest that Cod might not
exist, will be rated RB. No one will be
allowed to enter a theatre showing
these films. Period
RB-40. Fat, narrow-minded Re-
publicans over 40 vears of age will be

rhe phrase "don'ttouchthat dial'
has taken on a new meaning, as the
appliance rights movement picks up
steam. The Appliance Liberation
Front, at the head of the movement, is
lobbying the United States Senate to
make uninvited interference with the
body of an appliance "acrimeequiva-
lent to assault and battery.
The appliance assault law is but
the latest tn a series of measures de-
signed to overcome what ALF spokes-
man Otto Mobile calls "inanimism
discnmination against inanimate ob-
jects. Inanimism, says Mobile, is ram-
pant in today's American society.
"Organics just use us, throw us away
when we're old and rusty, as if we
didn't even matter. Well, thaf s going
to change Mobile vows.
The ALF has lately begun de-
manding that appliances be granted
legal minority status so they can get
jobs through affirmative action pro-
grams. The ALF is also pushing for
universities to grant professorships
to appliances, insisting that "molecu-
lar diversity" on university faculties
is crucial to the advancement of inor-
ganic entities in society.
"Nothing should bediscriminated
against simply because of the amount
of metal in its skin says Mobile, "and
we need to tell organics that, to change
their attitudes towards us
But Appliance Liberation is most
likely to change societal views through
music, as guitars, amplifiersand other
appliances normally subservient to
organic musicians begin to speak with
voices of their own.
While several organic musicians
have spoken out in favor of appliance

ance Liberation's cause more bluntly

(Toasters Withan Attitude). Their Top

savage attack on the world's deeply
ingrained inanimism: "Everywhere

'toast thisNow toast that'When
you're old I'll throw ya away
And how does TWA respond to
the trademark violation charges filed
against them in federal court by the

"Inanimism, pure and simple
says TWA head rapper GE. Toaster.
"I mean, look at that airline's policies.
They work their airplanes 24,26, even
30 hours a day. They're afraid of
what'll happen to their profit margins
when appliances start standing up for
their rights
Toaster denounces successful
androids like C-3PO and Lieutenant
Commander Data (of the syndicated
television program StarTrek: The Next
Generation), calling them "modern-
day Steppm Fetchits" and accusing
them of "selling out to the powerful
organic majority "Traitors like that,
