ECU'sSchoo! of Medicine was reaccredited for a full, seven-year period. The LCME is a national ac- crediting body for medical schools, and theaccreditation given to ECU extends for the maximum penod offered by this committee. An accreditation is important because it makes sure a particular department is providing quality education. Without this accredita- tion, nicknamed a "seal of ap- proval, " students looking at medi- cal schools would be less apt to apply to FCU's medical depart ment. "It (the accreditation) signifies that all of ECU's programs in medical education are up to stan- dard in quality, in respect to stan- dards that medical schools around the country have sot for them- selves savs Thomas H. Fortner. director of public information. The accreditation process began in December 1988, when a 40-member task force made up oi facultv, studentsand staff analyzed operating data from every medi- cal school department to seek out strengths and weaknesses Six basic areas wereexamined: objectives; governance and ad- ministration; medical education; educational resources; graduate education and the basic science departments; graduate medical education, the clinical science departments, and continuing medical education; and research. This 25-page studv is "candid, thorough and a fair representation of the condition of the institution feels the LCME team. The LCME reviewers pro- vided the medical department with a 98-page report that listed 15 summary findings. These findings give evidence that the school has been successful in achieving it's basic identity and mission. Among the findings: � The school has "clearly de- fined and is adhering to its educa- tional mission" to interest and teach students in the area of care physicians and family doctors. �The efforts made to recruit and retain minority students are "commendable and consistent with the mission of the institu- tion � "There is an atmosphere of collegiahtv among faculty mem- bers and students" which im- proves learning. �The creation of "centers" which combine resources involv- ing cancer, diabetes, biotechnol- ogy, and most recently, cardiovas- cular diseases, is an effective wav to stimulate research and breed interdepartmental collaboration lames A. 1 lallock, who became dean tour months before the LCME process began, found the accredi- tation to be a valuable learning ex- perience as well as an important measure of the quality of a medi- cal school. "The excellent report which we have received is testimony to the good work that was done in developing the School oi Medi- cine and to the good work that goes on now on the part ot all the faculty, students and support staff to ensure continuing excellence he said. Hallock will be expected to supply the LCME with a written progress report in N92 according to the terms of the accreditation agreement. This report will dis- cuss several issues currently un- der review, including adjustments to the first and second-vear medi- cal curncular and the criteria used for evaluating and promoting stu- dents. In addition to the findings al- ready mentioned, ECU's medical school hasbeen found to havegixxl relationships with the local and regional medical community, as well as having "smooth and mu- tually supportive" relations be- tween the medical school and Pitt County Memorial Hospital. The LCME team found that the hospital "is an excellent re- source for clinical education It was all of these factors com- bined that made it possible for ECU's medical department to re- ceive such high approval and in tum acquire accreditation. The ECU Medical School recently received the official stamp of ap- proval for the next seven years by a national accrediting committee. Dean James Hallock called the report "testimony to the good work taking place at the school (Photo by Celest Hoffman - ECU Photolab) Congressman Jones fights for one-year moritorium on Outer Banks oil drilling By Michelle Castellow Staff Writer In order to protect the rare natural coastline of North Caro- lina, especially the "environmen- tally significant Outer Banks U.S. Congressman Walter B. ones has introduced legislation to stop off- shore drilling for at least one year. The Outer Banks Protection Act,cosponsored by Congressman Tim Valentine, is a bill which would "prohibit all oil and gas leasing, exploration and develop- ment off the coast of North Caro- lina until adequate testing can be undertaken to determine the pos- sibility of damage to the Outer Continental Shelf of North Carolina's fragile coastline ac- cording to a news release. Furthermore. Jones together with 16 other congressmen have introduced a bill which will over- turn a 1984 Supreme Court deci- sion which states that the federal government has the right to ap- prove offshore sales and leases to oil companies even though the individual states object. The concerns about coastal North Carolina stem from Mobil Oil Corporation's intentions to conduct a $25 million wildca t drill- ing operation 47 miles of f the coast of Cape Hatteras. Mobil estimates that the op- eration will uncover five trillion cubic feel of natural gas on an elongated north-south reef. If Mobil's expectations are correct, it could yield the largest U.S. gas discovery since 1968, with a onein 10 chance of finding gas and a one in 1M chance oi finding oil. Jones, House Chairman of the Committee on Merchant Manne and Fisheries, first supported the wildcat drillingoperation but now feels that more studies are needed concerning water currents running north of Cape1 Hatteras and on fisheries, resources and spawning conditions at the proposed dnll site. According to a news release, a second bill. The National Ocean Protection Act, introduced by Rep- resentative Barbara Boxer of Cali- fornia, and cospoosored by Valen- tine "would prohibit the Secretary of Interior from issuing anv new �.iil or gas exploration leases on the Outer Continental Shelf off the coastlines of the eastern and west- ern seaboard and Alaska Valentine has sided with Jones on the issue of North Carolina off- shore drilling prospects. "We are past due in our re- sponsibility to the environment. It is imperative that this legislation move quickly through the House and Senate to the President'sdesk. We can no longer delay the active protection oi our environment Valentine said. The necessity to achieve quick action has resulted in the majority of the North Carolina Delegation signing a letter to Chairman Sid- ney Yates of the House Subcom- mitteeon Interior Appropriations This letter requests Yates' support to include an one year morato- rium on new oil and gas leasing on the Outer Continental Shelf off the coast of the state. Inaddition, Valen tine and nine other North Carolina House and Senate Representatives sent a let- ter to President Bush asking him to include North Carolina in his recently announced 10-year mora- torium on the sale of new leases for offshore oil and gas drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf of the U.S. coast. Valentine feels that if we fail to protect the state from oil and gas drilling activity our coast- line could be in jeopardy. Hospital approves rate increase By Matt King Staff Writer The Pitt County Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees recently approved a $263 million budget includ ing over a 14 percent overall rate increase for 1991. The increase in the cost of medical care is being introduced to partially offset an expected $82 million in unattainable funds. "Half of that deficit is created by people who cannot or will not pay their medical bills, and the other half is the result of under funding from Medicare said Tom Fortner, director of public infor- mation for the ECU medical cen- ter. Fortner explains Medicare decides how much of a patients bill they will pay, not us. "Medi- care pays the amount they see fit and no more said Fortner. The recent cuts in government funding of Medicare have resulted in a smaller percentage of cover- age for it's claimants. "At Pitt Memorial, more than 54 percent of our patient population is covered by Medicare. Shortfalls in these programs have a significant im- pact on our ability to control rate increases said Kathy Barger,chief financial officer al Pitt Memorial. Fortner said that this is not an isolated case. "1 fospitals around the country are incorporating similar cost increases, it's just something that was inevitable he said. One thing that kept the in- creases from happening sooner was that the hospital receives $11 million annually from the state because of its affiliation with the ECU School of Medicine. Dorm rats bring technology, personalization to abodes The hospital expects to gross patient charges of approximately $263 million in 1991. Only $181 million of that is expected to be received because of the unattain- able funds. The operating costs of the hospital are projected to be $179.8 million. The $1 2 million expected to be left over is usually put into a fund that pays for the structural up-keep of the hospital. Of every dollar charged in 1991, only 69 cents will be attained the other 31 cents simply be written off asuncollectible funds said Barger. Hospital officials indicate that thev are attempting to minimize the impact of rising cost by finding wavs to be more efficient.

Students participating in theprogram are earning degrees in public administration in the Department of Political Science. The grant pro- posal was submitted by and awarded to the Regional Development Institute (RDI). "We are most fortunate that we can provide this opportunity for students RDI director Janice Faulkner said. "The grant funds pay full tuition costs and incidentals for two full ycarsof study as well as wages at the place of employment. "The long term benefit is that the workplace experience will im- prove the entry level qualifications of graduates lexiking for jobs in economic development she said Faulkner said that participating students are pledged to make a faithful ettort to find employment in the fields in which thev work as Student interns. "The program will increase the pool of qualified professionals available to take jobs, and we hope that some of them will find that rural areas are appealing places to work Faulkner said. New doctoral program to begin in fall Dr. Allan A Glatthorn has been appointed coordinator of a new doctoral program in educational leadership at ECU. The program is to begin this fall with at least a dozen full-time doctoral candidates and a second cohort of part-time doctoral students Glatthorn, a professor in the School of Education, has coordinated a cooperative doctoral program conducted by ECU and N.C. State Uni- versity for several years. He is a former professor at the University of Pennsylvania where he chaired a doctoral program and advised doc- toral students. His selection as coordinator of the new ECU doctoral degree program was announced by Dr. Charles Coble, dean of the School of Education. "We are aiming for excellence Glatthorn said "We have an out- standing faculty, and we plan to recruit a superior student body School administrators, supervisors and teachers who aspire to senior level administrative positions in education have applied for admission to the doctoral program. Coble said that the applicants may receive substantial fellowshipassistanee, ranging from$15,(XX) to $30,000. The program in which a doctorate of education, EdD, will be con- ferred was approved by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors in May.

Correct SPF can prevent harmful sun damage By Kristi Keiser Student Health Service As summer approaches, many people are spending more time in the sun. Unfortunately, the sun can have many negativeeffectson you if you don't use good sun sense and take simple measures to protect yourself. Here are some tips to avoid the dangerous effects of harmful ultraviolet rays. - When using oils, lotions, and sunscreens be sure to use the cor- rect SPF (Sun Protection Factor) for your skin type. SPF on the tan- ning product's label provides an indication of how long you can stay in the sun after applying it and not become sunburned. For example, if you use a tanning product with an SPF of two, that sunscreen will enable you to stay in the sun two times as longas you would normally be able to before you would burn. (Make sure your sunscreen is waterproof if vou plan to be in the water.) - To avoid dehydration drink plenty of water or fruit juices while sun bathing. - Sunning times should be gradually increased. Don't spend three hours in the sun your first day. Pace yourself. - Avoid midday exposure at first; the time during which the sun is most intense is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. - Sunburns can occur during cloudy days, while you're in the water, on the snow, at high alti- tudes, and while you arc on the sand. - A number of drugs mav increase your sensitivity to the sun. These drugs include antibiotics, oral contraceptives, antidepres- sants, antihistamines and others. Remember, evidence indi- cates that overexposure to the sun can be a real health hazard, caus- ing painful sunburn and serious long term effects such as wrin- kling and skin cancer. So have fun in the sun this summer, but re- member to use your sun sense.

Her ap- pointment was confirmed July 13 bv the ECU Board of Trustees and the University of North Carolina Board of Governors. Horns, 45, succeeds Dr. Emilie Henning, who retired from the administrative post in May after eight years. 1 lenning will continue with the ECU nursing school as professor In the Department of Parent-Child Nursing. Dr AlastairConnell, ECU vice chancellor for health sciences, said that Horns "represents the highly skilled, broadly trained type of nursing administrator ideally suited to lead the School of Nurs- ing in preparing students for the range of challenges facing the pro- fession in the 1990s. "Many of the health care is- sues facing us depend for their resolution on scientifically trained but compassionate nursing pro- fessional of Dr. Horns' stature Connell said. Horns, a Wilson, N.C. native and an ECU alumna, first joined the ECU nursing faculty in 1970 as an instmctorof parent-child nurs- ing. Over the next eight years she moved through the academic ranks to become associate profes- sor. During the same period, she continued to pursue clinical prac- tice in maternal nursing at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville and in private medical practices. In 1979, she joined the gradu- ate nursing faculty at the Univer- sity of Alabama at Birmingham, rising to become professor of nurs- ing and assistant dean of the bac- calaureate nursing program. She was named to her current position upon her return to ECU in 1988. She began her nursing career in 1963 after earning a nursing diploma from the Wilson School of Nursing, and served for a time as a clinical nurse at North Caro- lina Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill. She also holds a bachelor's degree in nursing from ECU, a master's degree in public health from the University of North Caro- lina at Chapel Hill, and a doctor- ate in nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Ir. 1975, she was certified as a nurse practitioner by the University ot Rochester School of Nursing in New York "We hope to continue to move the School of Nursing forward in concert with the rest of the univer- sity and its strategic plan said Horns.

By Kathleen Bothland Gannett News Service At age 5, Tommy cried when his mother left him in kindergarten. In grade five, he was scared his teacher wouldn't like him. By high school, he wondered if he would hang with the right crowd. He worried abou t girls and getting into a good college. As students head back to school next month, the majority will be looking forward to getting back, experts say But many � like Tommy - will suffer stressas the school bells ring. Although stress is relatively normal for youngsters heading back to school, parents can help theirchildren by being sensitive to their worries and tears psycholo- gists sav. the way stress is expressed generally depends on the age of the child. The greatest tear younger chil- dren experience on entering pre- school or kindergarten is leaving their mothers, savs Patricia T. Siegel.a pediatnc psychologist and director of psychology training at Children's Hospital of Detroit. "Kids are at raid of abandonment and of doing things on their own she savs. "por many children, this is the ver first time they are on an ad- venture without mom Siegel suggests that parents show their children the way to and from school, walk them to school or drive them on the bus route "What parents can do to help the young child is to talk about what it means to go to schixil and to come home - to give the child boundaries she says. "Anticipate all the points that thechild will be frightened about Many children express fears through tears, and Siegel suggests that parents be sensitive but firm. "Tell the child, 1 know vou are sea red, bu t y ou mu st go to school she says. "They must be firm about that. You cannot allow them to say home Grade-school children are most likely to focus on friends as they start the school year, Siegel says. Will I accept? Will 1 be teased again? Will my teacher like me? Am I smart? Will 1 learn? These are all questions grade- school children will ask them- selves, Siegel says. "Children eventually learn that everyone has strengths and weak- nesses � even though they all want to be smart she says. Stewart Ehly, associate profes- sor of psychology at the Univer- sity of Iowa savs generalizations about the development ot stress patterns are riskv "Many psychologists have chal- lenged that as being a bit simplis- tic, " he says. "Lots ot kids behave in different ways in growing up, and the vast majority turn out OK. "Young children often rely on a parent or some adult to tell them what to do. ;n adolescence, the peer group becomes more impor- tant Upon entering adolescence, kids tind themselves turning a way from parents and more toward peer groups. The importance of fitting in generates new stress patterns that were not present earlier. t. lothes become important, and manv teen-agers begin dressing like clones of one another in an effort to establish a clique and find a comfortable niche. Fashion indi- viduality develops in teen-agers. "Obviously, adolescence is a time when kids may make poor choices, but so do adults Ehly said Because that individuality de- velops, more stresses are thrown on SATs, college applications and maintaining a strong GPA.

July 25. 1990 Jones looks to protect N.C. coast North Carolina recently sighed a breath of relief as Congressman Walter B. Jones introduced legislation tor a one-vear moritorium on offshore oil drilling. Al- though the restraining order will only be short-term, the step can be taken as a posi- tive outlook on the government's approach to the environment On the contrary it seems funny that the congressmen pushing this legislation are from coastal states. Of course, their constituents are the reason for their deci- sion . but what about the other congressmen ? Do they not believe that offshore drilling will not damage the environment? Granted, there are other problems with the environment that our government officials are deciding, like acid rain, defores- tation, soil erosion and recycling. Offshore drilling just does not seem to be associated with that list. Whv? Offshore drilling not only affects the coastal beauty, but spawn- ing areas are destroyed, which could drive the price oi fish up enormously. Needless to say, the recent oil spills off the Alaska and Texas coasts not only destroyed wildlife and beauty, but the credibility of offshore drilling companies Besides, it is the responsibility of the state to pay for the clean-up of an oil spill. Sure, federal assistance is offered, but the re- sponsibility ultimately falls on the state. Along those same lines, why do the states not have the right to sell a lease to search or drill off their respective coast? The government is picking the pockets of the coastal states, while sending them a bill too. Thank God for Congressman Jones! Bush follows aides advice on successor President George Bush wasted little time replacing Justice William J. Brenner Jr. just hours after Brenner's announcement Friday, the President had a list of names from his top advi- sors from which he could make a selection But he chose to go with a little known 1 st U.S. Circut C 'ourtof Appeals judge David H Souter,aswas announced Monday In what many are calling "the toughest domes! tc decision" of t he President's reign, Bush was forced to stray from the party's hard-line conservative views to protect his future, and regain a conservative ad vantage in the Supreme Court Recent problems havecaused a decrease in Bush's support, mainly because he went against his campaign promise of no new taxes Along with the problems of the Savings and 1 oan scandals, especially his son's involvement, many Bush followers have had a change of heart So what has our President done? On the one hand he nominated someone that probably will not get torn to shreds by the Senate Judi- ciary Committee because no one knows where he stands on kev issues But at the same time. Stouter is someone who philosophically follow Bush's ideals The President chose to stay away from extremists like Robert Bork, a 1988 candidate that former President Ronald Reagan nominated. Just as it was with Bork, one of the most important impacts of Souter's appointment will be his stand on many of the national issues. The chance of an overturn of Roe vs. Wade, a 1973 decision that allowed women the choice of abortion, has many people questioning his nomination. However, Bush listened to his aides recommen- dations that the abortion issue should not be the catalyst of his decision. The Washington Post reported that Sen- ate Minority Leader Robert J Dole, R-Kan said the President does not owe conservatives a victory on the abortion issue since he fouled up the no new taxes campaign promise. what President Bush owes the country � I think that's the important thing, not any group, liberals or conservatives, or pro-life or pro-choice � is an outstanding nominee who will be on the bench for some time Souter's rulings on national issues are limited, therefore more difficult to attack. But lobbiest are calling for his stance on many issues before he gets theokay from the Senate Judiciary Committee. Ralph Neas, director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights told USA TODAY: "The civil rights community knows very little about Judge Souter. With so much at stake, we will carefully examine his recordand judicial philosophy Abortion activists are also calling for Souter's stand as weli. But the candidate was reluctant to answer questions, opting to wait for the conformation proces. The door may have opened for many of the country's laws to be challenged. It is a relief to know that President Bush took Dole's advice to make a good decision. He did not choose an extremist, but a candidate that very wellmay be as solid as former Justice Brenner. Although the President made a quick decision, it looks to be a good one. Let's hope this will bring back some of those lost supporters. ojrfJdVJA HtrL a thf Under the Boards Sleepwalkers approach exam-time crunch By Tim E Hampton Editorial Columnist Two fancy 49-cent words somnambulismandnoctambulism, aresuddenlv upon us. rhetimehas come for the collegiate zombies to arise from the catacombs of tfv foyner Librar) stacks and overrun the campus again Wat h .is the) stumble through reaps ol last minute terms papers, hurst count loss exams bubbles and mutt i "donuts, donuts" like some eoj a parking ticket vigil.

I hate figuring out what to give Ihem. Some people .ire easy. My sister Linda will read any romance novel published. My fnend Hank collects college mugs and Mary- land memorabilia. But most of my friends are not lhat easy lo please. While we may know people very well, there's somethingabout buying things for others that's never totally a snap. When looking at an item, it may strike us as perfect for someone. But beware giving the lime type gift over and over. The year I l(xk up golf, 1 went crazy buying golf clothes, colored golf balls, golf club covers, you name it. Naturally, my sisters, who live in Houston and don't see me lhat often, divided I'd enjoy golf- themed presents for my birthday. Five vears and countless golf paperweights later, thev were still going strong. 1 ast Christmas, it was a bag ol tees ami Paddington Bear thcColfer. Television Divorce rates have risen dra- matically as the morals portrayed on television have declined. For c cry two marriages in 1990, there will be one di von. e. The blame for these statistics rests, at least partilally,on the shoulders of those who produce the media's im- moral, ungodly programming. The Bible says: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fomi- cators nor idolaters nor adulter- ers, nor effeminate, nor homo- sexuals, nor thieves, nor the cov- etous, nor drunkards, nor revil- ers, nor swindlers shall inherit the kingdom of God (I Corinthians f9-10). Yet television gives glory, fame, prestige and acceptance given to all these types of people. Too much on television pro- motes or tolerates that which Qxi forbids. The standard of marriage that God has set declares a hus- band must love his wife as Christ That's when I decided to say something Many times, we simply smile and say thanks for a gift when the truth is we hate it. We don't want to hurt people's feelings, so we tend to say nothing. The solution, of course, is to be honest and say what you like and don't like about a present. For me, it is a measure of how close a friendship is when you can say such things. My friend Christine loves sweaters, and most of her clothes are dark colors browns and blacks, lst Christmas, I bought her a hand-knit black print sweater. She regretfully told me that she could not accept the present because she's decided she has too many dark colors in her wardrobe, and is throwing out everything that's black Along with a bright new wardrobe, she said, came a bright, happy outlook for 1990. So I exchanged the black sweater for a pink camisole. She washappy with her gift, and 1 was pleased that she'd be wearing something she liked. The best gifts, of course, are not measured in material value. One of my favorite presents came from my sister Lillian when she was nearly five. It was the first year she un- derstood that people gave each other presents at Christmas. Join- ing in the fun, she ran through the house, secretly gathering her goodies and wrapping them her- self. When it came time to open presents, we found that she had given very practical items � half- sharpened pencils and slightly used erasers. My gift wasa broken plastic ruler. Several years later, when I went away to college, my sister Jane gave me a gift so that I wouldn't forget her�a pinkcloth butterfly on a dime store chain, her favorite necklace. I still have it. In the long run, the only gift we really have to give isourselves. Sometimes, the gift takes the form of help or support when a loved one is in trouble. Sometimes, it means allowing someone we love to feel hisor her pain without trying to make things better. That may be the most difficult act, and part of the most precious gift, of all � the gift of friendship. Friendship, after all, is the one present that is alive and ever changing. When a friend sees the best of what you hope is inside yourself, it is a mirror that is truly priceless. I received such a present re- cently. It came from my friend Christine, who wrote, "I want to do something in your honor and I think what might mean the most (to you) would be to love and nurture the children. "So to that end, I have con- tributed a shopping cart full of baby food, formula and other ne- cessities to the Houston 'Feed the Hungry' campaign � I can think of nothing more in keeping with your purity of spirit and selfless giving than that Her gift was not only a won- derful present to me, it was a beautiful reflection of the love for all inside her. Whenever we give from the heart, the gift is always perfect. OOirynjta 1990. USA TODAY1$$ CeUtp Infixmtm Ndaart Continued from page 4 loves the church and a wife must submit to her husband as toChrist. Nothing in the Bible says men and women are equal. Man was cre- ated for God, and woman was created for man. Television shows wives re- bellingagainstthcirhusbandsand rising up against their husbands' God -given authority. There will always be people who deny the media has the power to shape an entire culture. Ac- cording to a report by Diana Reep and Faye Dambrot in journalism Quarterly, "heavy television viewmgeauses viewers to perceive the real world as matching the television Television, as any information source, shapes our views of real- ity. Unfortunately, the information given about marriage and sexual relationships is far from accurate. Dennis Lowry and David Towles reported in journalism Quarterly that television presents sex as primarily for unmarried partners. According to God, sex is only for married partners. Between unmarried partners, sexual ac- tivities are. without exception, sinful. Based on research and scien- tific data, I am unable to prove a correlation between television presentations of marriage and the abundance of unhappy marriages in this country. Nevertheless, I am convinced beyond any doubt that such a correlation exists. The content of media presen- tations of marriage deviates so extremely from the marriage God has ordained that there can not be any blend or compromise made by viewers. Either they agree that God's standards for marriage are right, or they allow society's and the media's standards to be suffi- cient. Unfortunately, I see little hope of a solution to this problem in the immediate future. People have standards for relationships lower than God's. God does not grade sin on a curve; in His eyes, people are righteous or unrighteous. The Apostle lohn wrote that "men love darkness rather than light for their deedsareevil Until those men � the very people who produce television's content, and the people who watch it�change their hearts and hate sin, nothing will change. As long as people set unholy representations of marriage before their eyes, their views, and prob- ably their actions concerning marriage relationships, will re- main unholy. Research proves that television effects the opinions of its viewers Television shapes our culture and sets standards. Television presents divorce as glamorous and a good solution to marriage diffi- culties. That influence, I believe, con- tributes greatly to the divorce rate in America.

"I want to get to know him, get to know his record so I can make a considered decision, and I'm sure he'll be fine' Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Monday after President Bush chose Souter to succeed retired Justice William Brennan. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D- Mass said senators must "deter- mine whether he possesses a strong commitment to the funda- mental values of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights" while Sen. Paul Simon, D-Ill said he wanted to know more about Souter's record as New Hampshire attor- ney general. Sen. Howard Metzenbaum,D- Ohio, called Souter "pretty much of a blank slate" All four are members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will hold confirmation hearings on Souter. There, ques- tions are bound to be raised about his views on abortion and other matters.

Put he is willing to talk about public health his field before entering the world ol the federal government and his three personal priorities tor the CDC. the government's lead public health agencv. Soon after coming to CDC, Roper outlined those priorities in three speeches One is strengthening the nation's public-health infrastruc- ture, although he jokes that "dis- cussions of infrastructure are among the world's leading in- somnia cures The second is emphasizing prevention. "One of the real challenges is that it requires, to a great extent, motivation and promotion of children's health not surpris- ing tor a pediatrician "We have not done nearly as much as we could do to improve the health of children in America Roper said. "We have focused resources and attention domi- nantlv on illnesses affecting middle aged and senior citizens, and I think it's time we did the same for children "It's not that children's health is worse todav than it was five vears, 10 years, 20 years ago, it's just that it's not nearly as good as it can be" While setting his priorities. Roper hopes to forge a new iden- tity for the CDC itself, a seven- center agency. CDC's niche lsepidcmiology, the tracking and prevention of disease, "as opposed to some of the more tangible things that our sister agency NIH (National ln- stitutesof Health)does when they unveil a breakthrough treatment for some illness Roper explained. "In a variety of ways, I'm try- ing to give CDC an identity for itself he added. The CDC prides itself on its alliances with stateand local health officials; prevention programs developed in Atlanta are passed on to state officials and then to local health clinics. "Themost important thingfor us to do is to develop the infor- mation and the strategies that others can use aid Roper, a former Alabama county health official. Roper says he intends to be a strong crusader against smoking, which kills .w estimated 1,000 Americans each day. While his boss, Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan, has yet to directlv condemn federal to- bacco subsidies. Roper says flatly that it's incongruous to pay farmers to grow a cancer-causing crop. "But you know how that gets stopped?" he asked "It'snotCDC. It's Congress If Congress wanted to change this, they could Roper describes himself as a "strongly committed federalist set on seeing that enough federal money goes through the states to the local health departments.

ECU'S athletic teams have been practicing a mandatory drug testing program since 1987. ECU and ASU were the first schools in the state to require athletes to take a drug test. The decision from the Board of Governors merely added some legal safe- guards. "Each athlete will receive written notice prior to each test, and before an athlete is subjected to more serious sanctions such as a lengthy suspension or a loss of eligibility they will be entitled to a hearing said University Attorney Ben Irons. There were some safeguards prior to the deci- sion bv the Board of C .overnors, but they were not as elaborate as the (Mies that are now being imple- mented. UNC-Chapel Hill's main reason for not wanting to have mandatory tests for their athletes was that athletes are students and every student does not have to take a drug test. "There are three reasons why athletes are re- quired to take a drug test said Irons. Drugs may increase the risk of mental or physical injury when used in conjunction with very strenuous physical activities ot conditioning programs. Secondly,certain drugs may temporarily increase an athletes performance thereby giving that particu- lar athlete an unfair edge in competition. Lastly, intercollegiate athletes may become highly publicized role models in the community, and any involvement with drugs may lead to a negativeinfluenceonvoung people. Also, an athlete's � use of drugs is liable to damage the reputation of the institution. "The procedures for drug testing are that tirst the athlete receives written notification, and then a place is designated tor the athletes and the persons administering the test to meet. Thev brief the athletes on how the test is to be administered and the specimen is collected under visual observation be- cause of the possibility the specimen may be tam- pered with said Irons. If drugs are found in the urine specimen of the athlete on the first occasion a confidential meeting will be set in order to evaluate the nature and extent of drug involvement The amount of counseling and rehabilitation will be determined by the results of this interview . As a minimum the student will be required to enroll in a drug education program. The student may then be subject to weekly test- ing for as long as deemed appropriate Ly the team physician. Even with respect to a first time known occasion of drug abuse, the student may be sus- pended from athletic participation for a stated inter- val of time or may have his or her eligibility cancelled by the institution. , On the second offense the stu- dent will be sus- pended from par- ticipation for a minimum of one vearandhisorher eligibility may be cancelled. If eligi- bility is cancelled, a student will not be eligible for any scholarship re- newals. The third of- fense means an automatic cancelation of eli- gibility. How- ever, within five calender days, the affected student may appeal the decision oi the Vice Chancellor of Student Life to the Chancellor. This may be done on any of the levelsof of fense, not just on cancellation of eligibility. "The athletes will be coming in August and the policy will be earned out at that time said Irons.

The rope course is located near Mmges Colles.um. (Photo by Celeste Hoffman - ECU Photo Lab) GAINESVILLE, Ha. (AP) � The University of Honda says it's guilty of major rules violations for the second time in six years but insists a compliance program designed to prevent problems with the NCAA is working. The school on Monday re- leased copies of its response to allegations stemming from a 15- month investigation of the Gators' football and basketball programs. Officials acknowledged nine of 10 allegations, including six considered major, but denied an accusation that the infractions demonstrate a lack of institutional control over football and basket- ball at the Southeastern Confer- ence school. University president John V. Lombardi said the information made public Monday, three days after Florida presented it to the NCAA, clearly shows the school has adequate checks and balances built into the compliance program "although from time to time people will stray from the straight and narrow Lombardi emphasized that swift corrective action, including the ouster of former football coach Galen Hall and former basketball coach Norm Sloan, is a sign Flor- ida wants to do things right. As repeat violators, Florida is a candidate for the NCAA's so- called death penal ty�the tempo- rary suspension of either or both sports � but Lombardi doesn't expect such severe punishment. Florida was placed on proba- tion for two years in 1984 and the football program is still feeling the effects of scholarship restrictions imposed as part oi the sanctions. The team also wasprohibued from appearing on live television and barred from bowl games in 1984 and 1985. Lombardi said some kind of financial penalty, such as return- ing some money earned from the NCAA basketball tournament, might be appropriate in this case but not sanctions like those im- posed in 1984. The major infractions ac- knowledged by the university this time are: � Hall paid improper salary supplements totaling $21,000 to two assistant coaches. � Hall arranged transporta- tion and provided cash to help a player pay a delinquent child support debt. � Former assistant football coach Larry Kirksey lent a player $100 that came from a booster. � Sloan provided an airline ticket for ex-Honda star Vernon Maxwell to attend a summer bas- ketball camp in Boston. � Maxwell retained an agent during his junior season and should have been ineligible to participate in the NCAA tourna- ment in 1987 and 1988. � Sloan allowed a prospec- tive student-athlete's mother to use the return portion of the recruit's airline ticket during an on-campus visit. Hall and Sloan resigned last October after an internal investi- gation confirmed the violations. The next step in the case for Flor- ida is an appearance before the NCAA infractions committee. 12 The East Carolinian, lulv 25,1990 Sports Briefs Daniel wins the Youngstown Classic Beth Daniel made a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole Monday to defeat Patty Sheehan in the rain-delayed finish of the $400,000 LPGA Youngstown Classic.

Reading to the press a prepared statement � which, curiously, was written before the board had even voted � chairman Robert "Complete Idiot And Damn Proud Of It" Smith warned of the dangers inherent in letting various campuses make up their own minds. "This problem is so important that we cannot allow it to be dealt with in several different ways hesaid. "After all, if we allowed each school in the UNC system to make up itsown mind on the matter, then someof them might calmly make rational and informed decisions which took into account the need to protect individual rights, and then where would we be?" ECU SNAPSHOTS out-of-context statistics that prove nothing The Board of Governors approved a mandatory drug-testing policy for the tiny animals after a scandal at N.C. State University that involved accusations that squirrels were using theircheek pouches to smuggledrugs forcampusdrug dealers. But the Board of Trustees of ECU, in a passing spasm of good sense, pointed out the consti- tutional questions raised by such a policy, not to mention its sheer idiocy. However, Smith defends testing squirrels on the grounds that "every- one looks up to them "You know they7 re cute, they're fuzzy, so people like them Smith continues. "If we let squirrels getaway with using drugs, then pretty soon even stupid people would notice that you can use drugs and still function normally, and then they might realize that the government and anti-drug groups like Partnership for a Drug- Free Amerika have been shamelessly lying to them for several years now, and they might start to think for them- selves and get informed and gather data from unbiased sources, and then where would we be?" But Lou Cid, the only member of the board to vote against the policy, sharply disagrees with Smith. "Now, I'm against drug use Cid cautions. 'Totally against it. All drugs. Even aspirin. "But they're squirrels, for God's sake. We're talking about testingsir- rels. I mean, doesn't this strike any- body but me as dumb?" Cid was about to say more when Smith and the other members of the Board of Governors leaped on him and sealed his head up in a big metal sphere, kind of like what they did to that guy in The Man In the Iron Mask, only without the breathing holes. "It's for hisown good, of course said Smith, panting. "Obviously he's been listening to pro-drug propa- ganda, and it's our responsibility to protect him from that. Think about it: if we didn't protect him from hearing the other side of the issue, he might become even more taken in by it than he already was, and he might start to think it made sense,and then he might pass the information along to the rest of us, and we might open our tiny little minds to a new idea or two, and then where would we be?" Outside the hall, the policy was also being opposed by several pro- legalization groups who showed up to mill around, chant whatever every- body else waschantingand wave signs at television cameras. After a few hours of chanting catchy slogans like "Let the wildlifelive the wild life the groups eventually became so caught up in the fun of chanting that they forgot what they were there for and wandered away aimlessly. Fossil evidence 'astounding' THE Amalgamated Press Conservatives once had working brainsand the ability to use them, and they may still have had small versions of them several thousand years after they left the trees to live in caves, new fossil evidence shows. The 120-million-year-old fossils were discovered in an area of Egypt once covered by a Republican Party Headquarters building. The cerebral tissue in the unearthed bodies was almost as large as a ping-pong ball. The finding is one of the strongest to support evolution, according to fossil discoverer X. Cavate, and it demonstrates that evolutionary changes "are not always what we might think of as for the better "This wasa totally startling find Cavate went on, shaking his head in amazement.

Thank you. Jesse speaks! By Chippy Bonehead ECU Today Incumbent North Carolina Sena- tor Jesse Helms spoke today at a rally held in the rather poorly designed bandshell located at the Greenville Town Commons. The bandshell, which is far from acoustically flaw- less, nevertheless conveyed Helms' message loudly and clearly to his constituents, whoalready devote their lives to blindly following the insane policies they read from his lips. The rally began as Helms' cam- paign manager Pansy Mapplethorpc introduced the entire right-wing component of the Greenville City Council, a task which took a good two days to finish properly. Mapplethorpe, who is of course in no way related to that awful, de- generate photographer Robert Map- plethorpe, except they have the same las. name, and c f course there was that unfortunate incident in the all male boarding school when he was 15, but the less said about that the better, introduced the City Council as "One of the last bastions of truly right- thinking individuals in this Godfor- saken liberal hellhole Each member of the City Council then got up and introduced their families by name, and then deline- ated their heritage back to the Civil War, starting with paternal great- grandparents and working their way down to possible future descend en ts who will one day come into their own as great Republican statesmen and censors. This took approximately another eleven days. Each surviving relative then got up and introduced their pets, related the animals' breeding lines and en- dorsed their favorite brand of pet food. After the opening introductions were completed and the rally was firmly in the throes of a warm Christian atmos- phere that will never tolerate such blasphemous ideas as legalized abor- tions, flag desecration and independ- ent thought, the relatives turned the podium back over to Mapplethorpe, reintroducing him for the benefit of the more severely senile attendees. Mapplethorpe then introduced PittCounty's Republican Party Chair- man, Willie Winnagain. Winnagain espoused the many fine qualities Mr. Helms embodied, such as his persis- tence in photocopying obscene art and mailing it to every congressman's family to enlist support for his efforts in preserving decency in the Ameri- can home, and his unwavering efforts to keep every television and radio station in North Carolina saturated with slanderous campaign advertise- ments. Finally, Winnagain introduced Helms, falling to his knees in utter rapture as the senator took the stage. Unable to bear his godlike presence, Winnagain evaporated in yuH of foul-smeiiinj; -moke. Helms kept his speech shut t, since he had urgent business back at the Xerox� machine, but he thanked everyone for coming out to Me him and said, "With support like this, America will never become a place where freako liberals run rampant in the street, spreading their nonsense about art and freedom. "Our flags will fly high, our thoughts will be the same as everyone else's and our Capitol Hill trash cans will remain stuffed to the rim with copies of pornographic filth trying to pass itself off as art Helms then left the stage, which he introduced as politely as time allowed, then flew back to Washington. The stage then introduced the band playing for the Helms Campaign Benefit, and explained that the regu- larly scheduled band, the Bee Gees, wasunable to appear, but a new group, 2 Live Crew, would substitute.

Thank you New York police arrest'Yaleman' By Chippy Bonehcad ECU Today Gerald Wrong, accused by New York City police of being the "Yale- man" who has terrorized the city's women for the last few weeks by lock- ing them into their clothes with Yale� brand locks, insists he is innocent. The real Yaleman is a Harvard Law School dropout born on the is- land of Ikky-Ikky-Ptang-Ptang, where all women who wear provocative dresses are forced into small rooms, covered in toucan guano and forced to listen to an endless loop tape of morally degenerate 2 Live Crew songs Wrong's attorney I. Beleevem said Tuesday. "My client was actually trying to apprehend the real Yaleman when police arrested him as he locked a young nubile redhead into her leather mini-skirt Beleevem explained. "He was not actually locking her into her outfit, .per se the lawyer said. "Rather, he was testing out a new form of chastity lock which can be opened only by the woman when she is sexually aroused by Mr. Wrong A hearing is scheduled for Thurs- day, though Beleevem is trying to get his client arraigned sooner. "You have to understand, Mr. Wrong is a con- cerned man on a spiritual mission to protect attractive womenand get them to have copious amounts of sex with him, not to lock them into clothes he cannot remove Beleevem said. Wrong could not be contacted for an interview, since Bellevue doctors have him under sedation as they try to discern the exact longitude and lati- tudeof thecontroversial island, where they plan to spend a much-needed holiday. Beleevem also commented that the NYPD had only "sketchy" cir- cumstantial evidence at best. "Just because my client has a history of sexual offenses and is the night watch- man at the local Yale� factory where he would have easy access to thou- sands of Yale� brand locks, which come in many handy varieties, is no reason to consider him a prime sus- pect in this case. " have complete faith in my client he went on. "His theory about a disgruntled Harvard Law School dropout has the ring of truth to it. What better way to get back at his former school than by committing a series of heinous crimes using a prod- uct that bears the name of his ex- school's most well-known rival, even though the school and the product are in no way affiliated?" NYPD captain Bulova Helms, who is in no way affiliated with the esteemed North Carolina senator Jesse Helms, except that the captain does smoke a lot, thus giving the tobacco companies a good portion of his yearly income and thereby indirectly con- tributing to Helms' campaign to make the United States a safe place for de- cent, hard - worki ng Christ ia n f oik wi th nothing better to do with their lives but smoke a lot and pry into everyone else's business, had this to say: "Mr. Wrong gave us a statement that indicated he was indeed at the scene of most of the Yaleman's crimes and that he did own a number of Yale� brand locks. While this was certainly more than enough evidence forus to break intohis house, ripapart his furniture searching for drugs, ille- gal weapons and bootleg copies of 2 Li veCrewcassettes, wedidn't have to since we caught him in the act. Course, we may still 'search' his place, just for the hell of it. I haven't had a good search and seizure since we caught that guy in Queens with theGeorgeand Barbara Bush acid hits last month. All we had on him was an accidental wirctapon hisphone where he told someone he thought the Presi- dent was a big doo-doo head. "And we shredded his place. We searched his dog's anus and found clear traces of fecal matter in it. Don't tell me that search wasn't justified. Who knows what we might find in Wrong's place?" Government unveils education plan The Amalgamated Press A model curriculum to tell young children and young adults � from the cradle up to graduation from col- lege � that drugs are bad, bad, naughty and bad was unveiled by the federal government. It will be sent to every teacher and administrator in every school and university in the country. Calling the plan "the next best thing to hypnopaedia Education Secretary Lauren Cojones listed the major points for the assembled re- porters, who, if it weren't for this conveniently timed press conference, would have been out digging up fur- ther evidence that Neil Bush deliber- ately drove the Silverado S&L into the ground for fun and profit. The curriculum'smain message: "Nobody uses drugs, nobody at all. Nobody. Those people who do use drugs, who, naturally, don't exist, are always immediately driven completely insane and rob, kill, plunder and loot, and are therefore responsible for all the crime committed in the country, even though they don't exist said Cojones. "So don't go trying drugs for your- self, or you might discover that we're lying through our damn teeth. "The curriculum teaches you how to claim you're standing up for what you believe and resisting peer pres- sure by refusing to use drugs, even while theprogramavowedly uses peer pressure to try to get you not to use drugs continues Cojones. "It teaches you how to build the healthy self- esteem needed to sublimate your own identity and freedom to what we tell you your friends think. "Basically Cojones told the cheering, utterly impartial reporters, "this curriculum teaches kids how to be just as ignorant and hypocritical about this issue as their elders Cojones later revealed that the administration is looking into the possibility of implanting tiny tape players in women's wombs from the moment of conception, which will play anti-drug messagesover and over and over for the entire nine months from conception to delivery. "What the hell shrugged Cojones. "It's just the next logical extension of what we're already doing But Cojones cautioned reporters not to tell their readers that the federal government would mandate that schools adopt the proposed educa- tional plan. "We do not have the authority to impose curriculum Cojones said. "That's entirely the province of indi- vidual school boards. Of course, we retain the right to cut off federal fund- ing for any irresponsibleschool whose curriculum doesn't exactly meet our standards, kind of like what we did when we blackmailed states into rais- ing their drinkingages to 21 by threat- ening to withhold federal highway funds, but it's entirely up to them Voiza Reason, a history teacher at Generic Inner-City High School, thinks the administration should "focus just a bit more on addressing the socioeconomic factors that cause drug use and will continue to cause drug use no matter what we do, and focus just a bit less on trying to make the public education system a propa- ganda vehicle for the government But Quisling Lackey, Generic High's principal, surreptitiously in- jected Reason with an unidentified substance and then ordered him to report for a mandatory, completely randomly applied drug test.
