Homosexuals could lose funds
The University ot North Carolina at Chapel 1 tills sum-
mer student i onpvss recently voted to terminate funding of
the Carolina Gay and Lesbian Association (CGLA) with
student activity fees.
Accordi ng to the resolution ssponsor. Congress Speaker
Tim Moore, the CGLA advocates homosexual behavior,
which is illegal under North Carolina law. UNC'scongress
is prohibited from funding any organizations that support
illegal activity
However, the CGLA does not promote anv sexual
lifestyle according to information UNCs congress has on
file about the group's constitution.
Opponents of the resolution argue that theorganization
merelv serves the campus in an educational capacity.
Discrimination reports at UNC
The U S Department of Education's Office of Civil
Rights (OCR) has found one case of negligence bv UNC-
Chapel Hill following an investigation into seven recent
discrimination charges.
The lonecasoofnogligonceinvolved a sexual harassment
complaint filed bv a woman in the dentistry school.
According to the OCR's report, university officials did
not respond quickly enough to the woman's complaint.
Although officials had known about the sexual harassment
complaint since 1988, an internal investigation was not
conducted until 1990.
Professor cleared of charges
Dr. Robert David Little, a Library Science professor at
Indiana State University, wasfound not guilty by a Venmillion
Countv jury of the 1982 murder of Steve Agan.
Little had been charged with the crime last December
after Larrv Eyler. a convicted murderer, implicated the 1SL
professor as an accomplice.
Agan was stabbed to death on Dec. 19, 1982, during a
homosexual bondage ritual in an abandoned shack near
Terre Haute, Ind
Several witnesses testified on Little's behalf, saying he
was vi si ting his mother in Florida when the murder occurred.
Hazardous Waste left in limbo
NState University and the Environmental Protection
Agency have been unable to aach an agreement about who
is responsible for cleaning up a hazardous waste disposal
site located about 200 yards from Carter-Finley Stadium.
NCSU began using the site for disposal purposes after
it was approved in 19 and continued to use it until
Congress closed the site to any further use in the early '80s.
Now, until it can be determined who will treat the
disposal site and how to treat the disposal site, nothing
further will be done except to monitor ground water for
contamination twice a year.
Pell Grants may be terminated
If President Bush has his way in 1992, more than 350,000
Pell Grants will be scrubbed from the 1992 budget.
Although theHouseofRepresentatives recently decided
to increase Pell Grant funding by about $2 million. Bush is
pushing for a decrease for next year.
Pell Grants primarily affect students with families in the
$20,000-$25,000 income bracket and are designed to help
college students pay for books and tuition.
Faculty-leave privileges to end
Because of constraints set by recent budget cuts, uni-
versities within the UNC system have been forced to ter-
minate faculty-leave privileges.
In the past, faculty members have been paid while on
university leave to conduct research projects, but according
to UNC Provost Denni s O'Connor, this practice was pu rH ng
too great a strain on universities.
Fee plan could benefit libraries
In a desperation move to save UNC-Chapel Hill's de-
teriorating libraries, Chancellor Paul Hardin's task force
committee has recommended increasing student fees over
a three-year period.
The proposed increases could raise student fees by as
much as $600 if accepted. However, Hardin said the plan
would have to be revised because of a lack of input accepted
from students.
The student fee increase wasoneof 15 recommendations
made by committee. Another proposal suggested a "tax"
earmarked for the library coming from the various sports
and entertainment events that take place on campus.

BB&T grants $350,000 for program
Economics Department
plans master's program
By Keith Abluton
Staff Writer
A master of science in
economics program is in the
planning stages at ECU.
If approved it will be one
of only a few in North Caro-
lina. Other masters programs
in economics are located at
N.C State University, Uni-
versity of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, Duke Univer-
sity, UNC-Charlotte and
UNC-Greensboro.
Dr. Carson Bays, chair-
man of the Economics De-
partment at ECU, said: "There
are two stages to getting any
new program approved in the
(UNC system). First, a de-
partment has to request per-
mission to plan it. Thaf s the
first stage and we've already
done that
Permission to start plan-
ning was given in March, 1989
and planning has continued
since then.
The next stage of the
process is to submit the plan
for approval. This stage has
been slowed due to budget
cuts in the education system.
Universities have been asked
not to submi t requests for new
programs until further notice.
Bays said he believes that
within the next school year
the formal request will be sub-
mitted.
The master's program
will consist of at least 30 hours
and may or may not include a
thesis. Application of eco-
nomic theory will be stressed
with emphasis on economet-
rics for problem solving.
Econometrics combines tools
of economic theory, math-
ematics and statistical infer-
ence to analyze economic
problems.
The formal proposal is for
a master of science in resource
economics program because

ECU and Branch Bank-
ing and Trust Company have
teamed up to support a multi-
year, $350,000 plan to develop
leadership through study, re-
search and innovative pro-
grams.
The BB&T grant, an-
nounced by the University and
BB&T, supports ECU'S BB&T
Center for Leadership Devel-
opment in becoming a ca talyst
for leadership throughout
disciplines of the university.
Dr. James H. Bearden,
founder and director of the
center, said the center isamong
a few university academic
units in the nation with the
purpose of focusing the in-
struction, research and service
mission on leadership devel-
opment.
Bearden said: There are
very few activities that cut
acrossdisciplines Leadership
is one of them that cuts across
cleanly. This is important no
matter what the curriculum
or discipline
Leadership study can
serve as a bridge between lib-
eral arts and professional
schools Bearden said. Also,
because it is so diverse and
multifaceted, "no single aca-
demic discipline either claims
or promotes the leadership
agenda he said.
'The BB&T Center is one
of the few programs truly
committed to fostering the
kind of inquiry into leader-
ship' which has the potential
of having a profound impact
on the higher education com-
munity Bearden said.

Problems farmers face include
pesticido related illness, skmcancer,

In addition to helping for
farmers, medical studentsare given
the opportunities to educate them-
selves in agromedicine.
ECU's curriculum will include
lectures on agricultural medicine,
which provide students with op-

Teamwork made N.C.S.O. a success
The holding of the N.C. Special Olym-
pics in Greenville was a fine example of
teamwork.
The University, Greenville and Pitt
County all worked together to provide a
weekend of competition for the athletes,
who are people with mental retardation.
ECU allowed the use of athletic fields,
facilities and housing for 1,500 athletes, 700
coaches and 500 family members � more
than what is expected of the University in
the realm of public service.
Not to be outdone, the Pitt Countv
School System helped coordinate some 3,000
volunteers, without which the Special Olym-
pics would not have been possible.
The teamwork of the University, the
county and city shows what can be accom-
plished by working together.
There were also added benefits for ECU
and the area.
The logo for the games, selected through
a competition in the School of Art, was
designed by student Steve Schandel. The
design will be used for next year's Summer
Games.
The 1992 N.C.S.O. will also be held in
Greenville. With one year's games success-
fully completed, experienced local volun-
teers will ensure another weekend of fun
and competition for the athletes.
The State Games Director, Connie
Sappenfield, said the 1991 games were a
success. She noted local support � from
both businesses and residents � as part of
that success.
University, city and county officials
need to use the 1991 N.C.S.O. as an example
of what can be accomplished � if people
can just work together.

Lets Be Adamant
Integration kills traditional values
By Darek McCullers
Editorial Columnist
"Let's Be Adamanr is a col-
umn with multiple purposes. It is
the primary purpose of this col-
umn to expose issues that are rel-
evant to the black student popula-
tion of this university. This goal is
achieved through the exploration
and explication of various points
of view within the black commu-
nity. There are basically three
stratum within that community.
There is the emerging black
middle class, which comprises
approximately 30 percent of black
people. This is a community in
transition. They are moving from
a moral community to a commu-
nity of accumulation. In the black
moral community, there was a
strong proclivity to the family. The
family was the central unit of ex-
istence. They prayed together,
worked together, loved each other
and shared one another's hurts
and problems. They exchanged
extra labor unselfishly. For in-
stance, my father continues to
offer his extra time to the family.
He does auto repairs for them free
of charge. Every time something
goes wrong in my grandmother's
home (which my uncle bought for
her after my grand fa ther' s death),
he fixes it.
He serves the family in many
ways. Theentire black community
used to be like that When a child
viola ted communal values in front
of a neighbor, he was punished by
the neighbor and the parents.
When our communal rights were
violated, we stuck together to
change the circumstances � as in
the case of Rosa Parks.
However, his middle class
is changing. As they move to this
economy of accumulation, these
qualities are lost. Suddenly, lines
are demarcated. People are saying,
This is my home, my car, my
everything They begin to value
the dollar more than they do their
community. In fact, they lose their
sense of community.
This is what the Native
Americans expected. Many of
them said, "To hell with integra-
tion, we are a nation Although
conditionsarebad forthem today,
I think they are better off.
I think that if they could
shake off some of the vices that
have been caused by these condi-
tions which were historically
caused by the United States' poli-
cies, they could be a force to be
reckoned with.
The blacks in the upper
middle class are in conflict. As
they become increasingly materi-
alistic and drop the values that are
inherent in the people of Africa �
uwuness, meaning closeness,
unity or tightness � they turn to
religion. This is not against
Christianity, I'm a Christian.
However, I disagree with the
current philosophy because it
disagrees with what Jesus was
saying.
It is criminal to think that
one can go to church on Sunday,
give money mat might support
one little mission and think of
themselves as moral. It is criminal
to think that by some verbal pro-
fession, one can reach the heav-
ens. It comes through a deeper
experience. It involves careful in-
trospection, giving the kind of ser-
vice that will change your com-
munity, and abstinence from the
vices that destroy us. This is why
blacks in America cannot come
together. Over a long period of
time our values and life-styles have
been altered by integration. As we
go after these position that have
been laid open before us, we for-
get that the roots nourish the tree.
However, it doesn't have to be
that way if we awaken before it's
too late.
Next you have the masses
and the working classes. These
are over 50 percent. Some of them
are unemployed. Others are un-
deremployed. Some of them are
just working; striving to accumu-
late. Any solution that will help
these people will eventually help
the people of all colors that fall
into this category. They are en-
gaged in an everyday struggle just
to survive. Sometimes in that
struggle, they forget about raising
their children, keeping them off
the streets. Sometimes the men
forget about their patriarchal du-
ties to the children that they make.
Sometimes the black church for-
gets its obligation to provide an
economic uplift as well as a moral
uplift. For this is the Black
American's only autonomous in-
stitution.
The solution is simple. We
need to wake up and remember
these masses and working classes!

Maxwell's Silver Hammer
It's no joke as Congress debates "quota bill"
By Scott Maxwell
Editorial Columnist
I frequently think Congres-
sional Democratsand Republicans
aren't serious about the laws thev
pass. They can't be. I think they're
colluding with the president to
pull a big (im)prachcal joke, and
the rest of us just haven't caught
on yet. Certainlv the controversial
1991 Cml Rights Bill is evidence
favoring that conclusion.
What upsets the president
and his allies is that they see the
legislation as a "quota bill The
Democrats claim it isn't, noting
that their version specifically
outlaws quotas (which are already
illegal anyway). So the focus of
the debate, or rather the sound-
bite sniping, has been: is it a quota
bill?
Yes, of course it's a quota
bill. That's how affirmative action
works in practice: where minori-
ties are underrepresented in a
workplace, employers are under
suspicion. Thanks in no small part
to litigiousness and lnnumeracy,
suspicions tend to turn into law-
suits.
The 1991 bill is designed to
overturn SupremeCourt decisions
placing the burden of proof of
wrongdoing where it ought to be,
on the plaintiff. It's hard to prove
a business's hiring practices are
racist, but maybe it ought to be;
the charge is very serious
The Democrats' bill would
require businesses to prove their
hiring practices aren't racist. If you
think it's hard to prove hiring
practices are racist, imagine trying
to prove they're not.
Even if everyone hires fairly,
it stands to reason that some
businesses will employ a smaller
percentage of minorities than are
in the population (just as some
will employ a larger percentage).
Some deviation from the average
is bound to exist. But workplaces
where minorities are
underrepresented won't be ac-
cepted as expected deviations
from the average, they'll be touted
as "evidence of ongoing racism"
and so on.
Who needs that? To avoid
the hassle and expense of law-
suits, businesses must adopt some
sort of quotas. Since quotas are
illegal, they have to aim for
roughly proportionate represen-
tation. (When you see a business
trying to "broaden diversity" or
"increase minority representa-
tion you're probably seeing this
in action.) Result: everyone does
it, and everyone denies it. Mean-
while, the workplace becomes
statistically more balanced,
though not necessarily any less
racist.
But here's the part that makes
me think Congress and the Presi-
dent are pulling our legs. If the
Democrats' version of the bill is a
quota bill, so is the Republicans' ver-
sion. The forces that dri veemploy-
ers to adopt de facto quotas under
the Democrats' bill, also thrive
under the Republican bill.
In fact, what's most notable
about the two bills is not how much
they differ, but how little. Let's
compare them, using information
from (mav the gods forgive me)
USA TODAY.
In the Democrats' version of
the bill, a statistical imbalance in
the workforce is not ipso facto
proof of discrimination. But that's
meaningless: except in extremely
unusual circumstances, if there
were no statistical disparity, there
would be no lawsuit. The Repub-
lican bill is not significantly dif-
ferent.
How about the burden-of-
proof question? Quoting from
USA TODAY: "Democrats: Once
an employee proves an employ-
ment practice excludes some
groups of workers from a job or
advancement, the employer must
prove the practice is necessary for
the job in question. Republicans:
same Said necessity is defined
almost identically in the bills.
The Democrats' bill states
(unnecessarily) that quotas are il-
legal. The Republicans'bill simplv
doesn't waste ink on the point.
"Race-norming the wide-
spread practice of adjusting em-
ployment test scores on the basis
of an applicant's race, gender,
creed, or whatever, is outlawed
by both bills.
One last interesting feature
shared by the bills is that some
kinds of discrimination an? more
valuable than others. If you didn't
get a promotion because you're a
woman, you may get only $150,000
� oi more, if your "pain and suf-
fering" was particularly expen-
sive.
But if you didn't get a pro-
motion because you're black, the
sky's the limit. I'm not sure what
happens if you lost a promotion
both because you're a woman and
because you're black.
In fact, there is onlv one re-
ally tnterestingdifferencebetwttn
the two bills. The difference re-
volves around the way in which
the bill applies to Congress itselt
In the Republican bill, complain
ants may take their case to federal
court if they're unsatisfied with
internal review procedures; in the
Democrats' bill, only the rats guard
the cheese.
(Since I'm thinking about it
let's let this bill really apply to
Congress. In elections, let's add
votes to a candidate's total if the
candidate is female or handi-
capped or a member of a raoai
minority. Ah, darn, we can't: thev
outlawed race-norming.)
Nowhere in either btflfis the
basic issue addrejecTr bjjjifej-
we treat employers as innocent of
wrongdoing until proven guilt
make it reasonably possible to
prove them guilty when they are
and implement affirmative action
but rid ourselves of quotas?
The debate over the 191
Civil Rights Bill is, of course, no
practical joke. It's political jock
eying. The Republicans want to
claim they're foraf firmati ve action
but against quotas, and that the
Democrats are for quotas but
against affirmative action � be-
cause, surprise polls show voters
favor affirmative action but abhor
quotas. The Democrats are trying
to say the same thing about the
Republicans, for the same reasons
But you can't have your cake
and eat it, too. (So what good is
having a cake?) Nobody � Demo-
crat, Republican, or other � has
yet proposed a realistic plan for
affirmative action that won't lead
to quotas. Other than widespread
fairness and honesty, of course,
which is impossible to legislate
into existence.
No, it's no joke. And ifs not
funny.
Letters To The Editor
Student feels
police do more
good than bad
To The Editor:
I would like to come to the
defense of our law enforcement
society all around the United
States I feel they are getting a lot
of hype that will hopefully pro-
duce more good than bad. We
should view them as "brave pro-
tectors
I am talking about an occu-
pation where an officer's life is
threatened on a daily basis, and
they are working to protect inno-
cent, honest, law-abiding citi-
zens. When someone breaks the
law, officers enforce it. I am not
in agreement with the extent to
which they sometimes imple-
ment the law, using the infamous
treatment of Rodney King in
California recently as an ex-
ample. But, people should think
before they break the law. The
officers that "ask questions first
and then shoot" are some of the
ones we read about in obituaries.
There are racial and dishon-
est people in ALL occupations,
black and white. The police force
is doing what is expected of them.
If wedid not have them, we would
be extremely over-run with crime.
Please take the time to appreciate
this elite group of people and help
bring an end to the racial tension
in our great country.

Reader upset
.with wording
in news story
To The Editor:
I am writing to express my
dissatisfaction with the wording
your paper used in an article in
your Tuesday, Apr. 9, edition of
The East Carolinian.
Your Tuesday, Apr. 9, edi-
tion shared an article, "Public
SafervofrVprarnKynautorhpft
suspects" My concern with the
article was that in describing the
incidents, the racial identity was
given for only one of the men
apprehended � black male. I
should mention that this infor-
mation was presented as part of a
quote from Lt. Keith Knox of the
Department of Public Safety.
However, whether you
chose to follow English rules and
used the entire quote or not, con-
sistency should have prevailed.
If you only had die racial identity
of one person, the you Book of
Ethics should have guided you
to leave racial identity out alto-
gether.
Possibly the average reader
would not have picked up on
this. But as an African American,
I could not let yet another inci-
dent go by without bringing at-
tention to your obvious neglect
and to remind you of what I con-
sider editorial responsibilities.

World Entertainment War lacks battle cry
By Matt King
Features Editor
If you ask members of the
band World Entertainment War
what kind of music they play,
one of the things they would say
is that it is, "macho, feminist,
love, poop
WEW has also described
their music as, Jungian, beatnik,
funk or psychedelic, war, bal-
lads and tribal, metal, folk, mu-
sic. The music on W EW's first LP
is more like plain, unintelligible,
convoluted poop
1anv reviewers and pro-
moters of the band like to associ-
ate them with the word "heady
meaning of the head. Some am-
bitious writer down at MCA
records (the band's labeH even
dared to call it "smart rock
Well, if the album succeeds
in turning over a profit than
somebody somewhere is smart,
in a fox-like way. It would take a
genius to market such a heap of
confusion into anything but an
amusing experiment.
It is true that the band ap-
pears to be familiar with a the-
saurus in their lvrics, but the one
word they left out was coherent.
The lvrics of the album are spat-
tered on the songsheets without
anv direction.
More than a couple of bands
have cut the mustard without
concrete lyrical content (REM,
Pixies, etc.) but at least they man-
aged to present their garble in a
way that aroused curiosity.
World Entertainment War
"Lust in the Dust"

justsoundsasifthcirdosingtheir
eyes and pointing to a word in
the dictionary. All of this glori-
ous contentless swirl is accom-
panied by what sounds like a
loud fast bass and an electric
jugband.
Sometimes it sounds like no
two instruments are playing the
same song. Santa Cruz Califor-
nia was the original stomping
grounds of WEW, unfortunately
the band was unable to attain
any rhvthmic consistency from
the surroundings of the bounti-
ful Pacific.
Going plainly on the back-
ground bios of the band mem-
bers (their are four females and
four males) there may be a slim
rav of hope for these apostles of
post-punk dillirium.
At the age of 13 the drum-
mer, Anthonv Guess, alias
Squint, toured with a country
band that was fronted by a quan-
tum physicist (no kidding).
The backbone of any lucra-
Squint could just infuse some
country tangibility, it might put
the bands feet on the ground.

on the album that do perhaps
point to better days. "Prayer
Wars is an intelligent scoff at
organized religion set to a rap
metal backdrop.
"In A Crisis is a funny song
about the perils of a feminist in
love.
While the band remains in
the driveway, at least the motor
is running.

Mv first time seeing the female
impersonator Divineon screen was
in "Lust in the Dust It isa tongue-
in-cheek, flat-out, P movie; the kind
that is low budget and not ashamed
to show it. It's aimed at tans of
campy movies, those movies with
outlandish behavior usually sexual
In the past four-to-five years I
had heard of the deceased and hi-
lariously tunny female imperson-
ator Divine. The last movie he
starred in was "Hairsprav Divine,
who weighed over 300 pounds, was
discovered by the late Andy Warhol
and got his big break in the biz by
director David Lvnch of "Twin
Peaks" fame.
Hestamvl m several of l.vnch's
films. Looking forward to what
people had told me 1 was receptive
ti i wha lever fla shed onthe tv. screen
in front of me. "Lust in the Dust"
sticks pretty close to its title. It is set
in the old wild west. Divine, in the
beginning, portrays a innocent,
fresh-young thing seeking fame as
a singer.
Wandering through the desert
she becomes ambushed by a gang
of sweaty, deranged, sex-crazed
outlaws who take ad vantage of her.
The joke is on them though as they
are left drained in the wind-blown
dust by Divine.
Eventually she makes her way
to a small town and an even smaller
canteen where she looks for work
as a singer. She meets Marguerite
the canteen owner, a very salsy,
sexy, smart woman. And shortly
after Divine's arrival a handsome,
mysterious stranger rides into town.
Unknown to Divine the entire
town for years has been searching
3BE
for a buried treasure. One night
after bed hopping, sneaking about
and eavesdropping Margueriteand
Divine discover the map to the bur-
ied treasure; it happens to be tat-
tooed to their butts.
Each has on her butt one half of
the map. They discover where the
treasure is and let your imagma tion
run wild on how they put the map
together. After digging up the
treasure there isa Mexican standoff
between Marguerite, Drvineand the
handsome stranger.
The movie leaves the viewer
watching the good looking but
slightly dumb hero ride off into the
sunset with the treasure, leaving
Divine and Marguerite to become
buzzard food.
Compared toother low budget
movies, Lust in the Dust" ranks in
the top 10 along with "The Rocky
1 lorror Picture Show" because of
the movie's comic sense and fresh
approach to the old west.
If you are into spoofs of the
wild west, campy jokes and female
impersonators then this is a great
film to see for a belly-slapping good
time. Since it was my first time
seeing Divine and not having any
idea of what to expect, 1 was pleas-
antly pleased.
1 lookbackon Clint Eastwood's
earlier westerns like "Fist Full of
Dollars and "The Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly" as earlier and tamer
versions of "Lust in the Dust But
with Divine you get more of an off-
the-wall sense of humor.
1 recommend this film for any-
one who likes westerns, Divine, B
movits and raunchy humor. You'll
certainly get an eye and ear full.
You just might become a Divine
fan. Other movies starring Divine
are 'Tolyester "FemaleTrouble
and "Pink Flamingos

Rumors fly amidst Bunny's reopening
By Matt Jones
Staff Writer
If you are a regular pursuer of
late- night downtown entertain-
ment, then you might have recently
noticed the absence of a newly ac-
quired friend.
You may have asked yourself,
what has become of the place that 1
know and love? The place where
good times go to prosper and bad
times go to drown? In short, what
we all want to know is- what hap-
pened to Bunny's Bar & Grill?
Rumors were everywhere.
Some said Bunny's was closed be-
cause of shaky financing. Others
Tm6 )I�vJ CNrtWB toitoNWNtf
speculated alcohol violations to be
the cause. Some even suspected
sanitation problems closed the
doors.
As usual, the rumors turned
ou . to be somewhat more exciting
than the truth. In an interview with
Bunny's owner, Arif Safi, the real
story was revealed.
It so happened that San had to
travel to Florida because of a family
emergency. He left his business in
the capable hands of a friend.
However, his friend was un-
able to mind the store regularly as
needed becauseofhisschool sched-
ule, so he left the management to
another fnend. This seemed to be
where things started to go wrong.
According to Safi, this fnend
had "a different style of manage-
ment
When Safi finally returned, he
found that their were a number of
things which needed reconciling.
He realized that he would need to
closedown to renovate the building
and since it was the end of the se-
mester, he decided that there was
no time like the present.
It was at this time that the ru-
mors began to spread. When Safi
wasasked about them, he admitted
that one or two did stem from the
truth.
"The sanitation inspector told
me I had me 1 had to fix some things
around the kitchen said Safi. "The
biggest job was installing a three-
compartment sink, but the other
things were petty
Another rumor which was cir-
culating among the ECU commu-
nity involved a reported $13,000 of
bad checks which Safi had suppos-
edly written. When this was men-
tioned Safi gave an interesting ie-
sponse.
"No, no, no, It was only
$12,000 he responded jokingly. "1
don't where they get that stuff. Who
would believe $13,000?"
Safi did mention that with all
hisrenovations,hefinancial reserve
was low. However he appears to be
keeping an optimistic outlook.
Timesare tight he said, "but
I'm going to make it"
Although Safi admits that the
rumors surrounding his business
to be quite exciting, he recants their
credibility.
"Everything is going just fine
here said Safi, "In fact, the lm-
provernentsl'vemadeshould make
things that much better
Other than the required repairs
made to his restaurant, Safi ai �
used the time he closed to make
other needed additions. He found
that his cooler space was becoming
scarce as a result of his increase in
business, and he was having a hard
time keeping his beer kegs cold.
To remedy the problem, Safi
installed two new cooler units
He was also having problems
with his plumbing, mainly dealing
with an absence of a sink in the
men's restroom.
It seems as if one night an
overzcalous customer took it upon
himself todo someamateur remod-
eling. Although Safi appreciated the
thought, he decided it best to leave
the sink intact.
Thus it seems that Bunny's Bar
& Grill was merely shaken and
stirred a little, but nothing there is
going to get flat.

Fear of rejects
By Michael Harrison
Staff Writer
The fear of rejection and the
devastation of a failed relationship
are conquerable problems.
Notable therapist Dr David D.
Burns wrote in his b� m ik Intimate
Connections some possible solu-
tions.
"Nobody on earth can attract
everyone they're interested in
Bums wrote matter-of-factly.
Meanwhile, the fear of success
can be another problem People who
have been lonely for a long while
can feel uneasy by success in flirting
and dating. The famihanty of their
lifestyle will be threatened
Bums said many apprehen-
sions are caused by "illogical
thoughts and self-defeating atti-
tudes These problems can be
eliminated as one begins to view
relationships more positively and
realistically.
The fear of rejection is one of
the most common. Bums pointed
quand once rejected, many people
overgeneralize the situation by
saying something like, "Since I've
been turned down, I'll always be
turned down. HI always be alone"
It is natural to be disappointed
when someone is unresponsive or
cold to you, but by recognizing the
fact that everyone's tastes are dif-
ferent, this fear can be put in the
proper perspective, preserving your
self-esteem.
Another huge mistake Bums
sees is when people tell themselves
they were rejected because of some
inherent quality, which is usually
imagined. 'Tm such a loser or
Tm so unattractive, no one will
ever want me are typical examples
of the types of messages many
people mistakenly give themselves.
People who judge themselves this
way very frequently consider
themselves to be basically detec-
tive, to be alone forever. Bums said
it is vital to examine possible reasons
why people reject you.
It could be that they're frus-
trated or angry wimyouTheycould
possibly not be attracted to you
because of your looks, age, race or
appearance or they could be at-
tracted to someone else. These are
ail reasonable excuses, because we
are allattracted to some people more
than others. Also, many people are
afraid of intimacy or commitment
and avoid it totally. Burns said
People must also realize that
itionshipsarecontnbuted to and
governed by two people, each with
separate thoughts, needsand wants.
: Blamingonlyyourselfforitsdemise
is basically unrealistic, not to men-
tion selfentered. Bums said.
Waste no time blaming your
self, Bums continued. Look for the
real problems in a troubled rela-
tionship. Find out what both of you
did to cause the separation. Work

explains In most cases, an

Lisa Fulk, a deal student at
ECU maoring in fashion mer-
chandising, says she does not feel
comfortable using her voice since
she realizes she sounds different
from others.
She says she does have tune
rional vocal cords, though, and
becomes anerv when she's re-
ferred to as deaf and dumb.
Basic Sign also states that deaf
people may communicate through
oneormoreof'thefollowing ways
sign language, facial expressions,
gestures, lipreading, miming.
speech, drawings or writing.
However, all deaf people do
not lipread and sign, an assump

L.ipreading,aeomplexed skill,
requires extensive training and
practice, according to the text It
may be difficult to lipread it more

speaker has a mustache, beard,
cigarette or an accent or it tin-
speaker is eating or drinking, Ba-
sic Sign explains.
The text savs statistics show
that three out of every It) words
are understood during lipreading
Those who use sign language
probably use American Sign Lan-
guage, though it's not the only
form. ASL is not universal, and
like English or trench, it has its
own syntax, Basic Sign states.
In ASL, the use of space and
movement represents ideas by a
single sign, which would require
several spoken words of English.
Another distinctive feature of sign
language, given bv the text, in
dudes the use of posture and fa-
cial expression to communicate
ideas
Basic Sign savs additional
misunderstandings among hear-
ing people are that deaf people
wish they could hear in order to
live normal lives.Fulk says it she
had the opportunity to hear, she
would probably turn it down
"Whv should I change my life
over again, learning to talk and so
forth?" she asks.
She's happy, she says.
Fulk savs she's not interested
in music becauseshe's never heard
it She savs she has a closed-cap-
tion device for her televisu n and a
TTY tor her telephone, which al-
lows her to communicate with

sages.
In addition, she has Hashing

she can dance to vibrations and
-he is working as an assistant pur-
chasing agent at Hatteras Ham-

people can drive and even have
fewer accidents than hearing
people, according to statistics
Many hearing people don't hear
horns and sirens either, with their
radios and air conditioners run-
ning she continues. Besides, she
say s she can see the lights of emer-
gency vehicles, and she watches
the traffic carefully
Sometimes being theonly deaf
person in a hearing environment,
Fulk says she hates it when her
hearing friends are speaking but
not translating More than that,
she says she despises situations
wherepeoplemock sign language,
moving their hands in meaning-
less motions.

Special Olympics come to Greenville, ECU
By Chris Hele
Staff Writer
Last weekend marked a great
first in the history of amateur sports
in eastern North Carolina. ECU.
along with the Citv oi Greenville
and the Pitt County Schools fxttxi
the Wtl Special Olympic Summer
Games oi North Carolina
Over 1,500 athletes gathered
from 80 counties around the state u i
compete in nine different sports.
Last Thursday the Olympians
began arriving at ECU to register
for the three dav event. Sportsaction
on Thursday and Friday waa lim-
ited to preliminary games.
The action started in earnest on
Friday night when the opening
ceremonies began Saturday bore
witness to the spirit and determi-
nation oi the Special Olympians as
they competed for medals and rib-
bons. After the games on Saturday
night at Ficklen Stadium saw the
official closing of the games along
with a joyous victory dance.
To fully appreciate the experi-
ence of the NCSO Summer Games
one had to be on hand for the open-
ing ceremonies. On Friday night
the Special Olympic teams, each
distinguished by different colored
uniforms, and 700 enthusiastic
coaches gathered outside the sta-
dium.
The athletes then marched out
onto the field greeted by the stand-
ing ovation of an audience of over
7,000 people and the performance
oi the West Carteret and Farmville
Central High School bands and flag
teams.
After a series oi brief speeches
from major supporters and spon-
sors, Billy Davis, an athlete from
Pitt County and televised spokes-
person for the games delivered the
Special Olympic oath; let me win,
but it I cannot win let me be brave in
the attempt.
Awarding the medals for the 100-meter individual medley relay at the NCSO Saturday outside Minges Coliseum
Moments later swimmer Den-
nis Mercer ran to a cauldron on the
field and lit it with a torch, officially
starting the competition.
While much has changed since
the first 01 ympianscamed the torch
to start the games in ancient Greece
the sensation of the act has remained
the same.
Saturday all the competitions
began which included aquatics,
athletics, bocce, gymnastics and
various other events. New to this
year's games was bocce. a lawn
bowling game that originated m
Italy. A total of 40 athletes partici-
pated in the event
According to Connie
Sappenfield, Director of the Sum-
mer Games, bocce was incorporated
to introduce a lifetime sport and
one that would be good for older
adults.
After the competitions the
medal- and nbbon-beanng athletes
gathered onceagainoutside Ficklen
Stadium. This nme there were fewer
people, no more live bands or fire-
works, but everv thing was in or-
der. The organizers knew the Spe-
cial Olympians had had everything
they needed for the moment.
These athletes had done what
few oi us would ever do; they had,
if only for a day or two, become self-
actualized.
A volunteer for Friday'sevents,
sophomore Edwin Manning-Tano
expressed the feeling well. 'This is
a special event for a group of excep-
tionally strong people he said.
While things went relatively
smoothly for the 17th Special
Olympic Summer Games there re-
main challenges for the future.
Sappenfield said that more funds
will be needed because "it grows
every year
This year's Special Olympics
were not only the first to be held
east of Raleigh but also the first to be
sponsored by a community. As far
as ECU'S role in the event, "the
university rolled out the red
carpet Sappenfield said.

Sluggers continue winning tradition
By Matt Mumma
Spor�s Editor
The Pirate baseball team fin-
ished with 30 or more wins for the
fourth straight season. Since 1982
ECU has had eight seasons with 30
or more wins and finished last year
with the riahon'sbest record at 47-9.
The Pi rate sluggers earned their
third consecutive trip to theA A
regionalsand went 1-2 in the double
elimination tournament. They faced
top seeded Witchita State and lost
10-5 after leading 5-1 in the fifth
inning in ECU'S first game. Wichita
State, now in the College World
Series, has not lost yet and needs to
win one moregame to be theNCAA
champions.
ECU then beat Rider Univer-
sity 6-5 but lost to tenth ranked
OhioState6-5,endinga respectable
30-24-1 season.
The Pirates also won the Colo-
nial Athletic Association Champi-
onship for the third year in a row
making; it their fourth title in five
years. The Pirates breezed through
the tournament beating first place
Richmond in the final two games
and advancing to the N'CAAs for
it's third consecutive tnp.
Sophomore David Leisten was
named Most Valuable Player of the
CAA tournament and went 13-26
with a .500 batting average in six
games. Leisten set two new tourna-
ment records with 13 hits and 11
runs and was the third Pirate to get
MVP at the CAA tournament.
Junior John Gast was named
the CAA Co-Player of the year with
a .336 batting average, 37 RBI and
seven home runs during regular
season play.
Gast also broke the ECU career
stolen base record with 60 previ-
ously held by assistant coach Billy
Best. He led the Pirates with 19
steals this season and he has led the
CAA in steals for the last two years.
Another career record holder is
junior Tommy Eason who now has
39 home runs after hitting 13 this
season. He is second in the homers
category behind Wmfred Johnson
who holds the top spot with 70
career home runs.
ECU's pitching ace freshman
Johnny Beck finished this season
with 70 strikeouts and led the Pirate
pitching staff with 86 innings
pitched. Beck also led all ECU
pitchers in saves with 14. In the
NCAA tournament. Beck held off
number one seed Wichita State to
one run through the six inning and
gave up fife hits.
Another freshman pitcher, Lyle
Hartgrove, led the ECU pitching
staff with a record 20 appearances.
Hartgrove got the only win in the
NCAA tournament against Rider
and gave up no hits.
CHICAGO (AP) � It's no sur-
prise that the Los .Angeles Lakers
were a longshot to make it to the
NBA Finals.
They had their worst start in 12
years after their earliest exit from
the playoffs in nine years. They had
changed coaches, systems and per-
sonnel.
E vpec ta tion s for' The Tea m Ot
The '80s also had changed
"People thought there would
be a cloud oi confusion over the
whole season six-year Laker vet-
eran AC. Green said, "and after the
first couple of weeks it looked like it
was true
But the Lakers survived that 1 -
4start, knockedoff favorite Portland
in the Western Conference finals
and made it to their ninth champi-
onship round in 12 seasons.
Where, once again, they were
underdogs.
The Chicago Bulls, trving to
extend their NBA record of 15 con-
secutive home playoff wins, had
the homecourt ad vantage. They had
lost just one of their 12 postseason
games and won their last six. And
they had Michael Jordan, the
league's most valuable player.
Now they have problems.
The Lakers, winners of five of
the last 11 NBA titles, won Sunday's
opener 93-91. They have three con-
secutive home games after
Wednesday nighf s second game in
Chicago. No team has won an NBA
title after losing the first two games
at home.
"It will be tough to win twoout
of three in LA Jordan said.
Wednesday is a crucial game. We
have to even things up
Los Angeles won without cen-
ter Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who re-
tired atter the 1988-S9 season, coach
Tat Riley, who stepped down after
"We haven't
gotten the respect
we deserve all
yearlong. It's a
slap in the face. '
Los Angeles' Byron Scott
last season, and their fastbreak at-
tack that new coach Mike Dunlea vy
de-emphasized.
They won with center Vlade
Divac, who made the NBA's all-
rookie team in 1989-90, and Sam
Perkins, a free agent forward who
signed last August.
"We haven't gotten the respect
we deserve all year long. If s a slap
in the face Los Angeles' Byron
Scott said. "We've been there every
year, provingeverybody wrong. It's
nothing new
"A lot of people thought we
couldn't get here without Kareem
and Riley, so getting here is more
special Magic Johnson said. "No
one gave us a chance to be here
Last season, the Lakers were
eliminated in the second round by
Phoenix, four games to one, after
going to the Finals in seven of the
previous eight years.
' "We knew after losing last vear
we needed some scoring off the
bench and we needed a big man
Johnson said.
So the Lakers signed Teagle, a
scoring threat from Golden State,
and the 6-foot-9 Perkins, whose in-
tensity was questioned in his six
seasons with Dallas.
It was Perkins who made the
winning 3-pointer with 14 seconds
left Sunday.
"They say I'm laid back
Perkins said. 1 don't care. I am. But
I get there the same time as every-
body else. I work hard
Perkins had to overcome that
stigma and prove he could con-
tribute to a winning team. His big
contract didn't help.
"Along with me Dunleavy
said, "Sam took some heat in the
beginning when we were 1-4. It was
kind of like, what's the coach doing
and what about this guy they're
paying all this $3 million a year to
It wasn't fair
Now the Bulls have to show
that, despite a dub record 61 wins
that gave them the NBA's second
best record, they can win their first
Finals against a more experienced
team
The Bullsadmi tted to first-game
jitters. Coach Phil Jackson said they
appeared in subpar game shape
after not playing a game for five
days. The Lakers had two days off
after eliminating Portland.
