The alumni board of Skull and Bones has quietlv voted to admit women, two months after an embarrassingly public quarrel over the issue among members of Yale University's elite secret society. Bonesmen around thecountry, including President Bush, a 1948 Yale graduate, will soon receive ballots in which they mil be asked to ratify the vote. Ballots are to be counted at the end of July.

UNC committee to hold review CHAPEL HILL(AP) ?UNC-Chapel Hill hasappointed a committee to conduct an internal review of 20 academic and administrative departments. Chancellor Paul Hardin 111 formed the committee of faculty, students and administrators to take a look at each department's goals, and how to reach those goals. The committee will conduct interviews and receive written re- ports from department representatives at meetings from June 23-27. The chancellor will use the review as the basis of a report he will issue in the fall, which wall likely outline the areas designated for growth. Sornedepartrnentsareexpecting that will mean changes for their programs. Faculty reaction was split on the review. Some say they are concerned their departments will be the victims of fund- ing cuts as a result of the critique, and that they will have to discontinue certain programs. Others say they are pleased the review gives them a chance to outline and announce their goals for the future. Supervisor found guilty of death BEAUFORT(AP) ? ACarteret County jury deliberated a little more than an hour Saturday before finding William MacRae "Mac" Willis guilty of second -degree murder in the shooting death of his wife. Willis, 35, a former county Alcoholic Beverage Control supervisor, could receive a prison term of up to 50 years for the conviction, court officials said. Teresa Piner Willis, 39, a former county elections super- visor, died from a single gunshot wound to the head on Jan. 20 in the couple's Beaufort home. Willis testified that she committed suicide. But a pros- ecutor displayed to the jury a bloody shirt Willis supposedly wore that night and witness accounts of Willis vigorously scrubbing his hands at the hospital his wife had been taken Id.

Asoneof only a thousand recipients of the nationally recognized Fulbright Award for the 1991 -92 academic year, Lapicki anxiously waited through the year-long series of selection rounds. "The ex- citement kept building and building Lapicki said. Lapicki's award will al- low him to take a full year leave-of-absencc beginning this July to work at the Centro Atomico in Barilochc, Argen- tina, a national laboratory under Argentina's presiden- tial National Commission on Atomic Energy. ECU has of- fered to support 75 percent of lapicki's leave. "I think it's a good reflec- tion on the university because it shows its support for re- search, and it's a very good sign and encouragement to researchers Lapicki said. Lapicki will conduct his research at the laboratory's atomic collisions division in conjunction with Nestor R. Arista, head of the division. The facility is noted for its studies of energy loss of charged particles in matter as well as its work in the field o( electron cuspology. Electron cuspology, Lapicki said, is the study of the aftermath of a collision between ions and gaseous and solid matter. "It'sa relatively new field . . . only within the last ten years Lapicki said. Lapicki's research will give other scientists informa- tion on how energy is lost and degraded in various atomic systems, including the pro- posed fusion reactor, a more efficient system than the fis- sion reactor that supplies elec- tricity to cities today. Lapicki said that the con- nections the Fulbright pro- gram will allow him to estab- lish in Argentina should be very beneficial to the ECU Physics Department since both share common grounds of research, especially in elec- tron cuspology. Each year, the Fulbright Scholar Program awards the nation's leading researchers and lecturers grants to con- duct research and lecture in over 100 countries around the world. Recipients are selected by the J. William Fulbright Scholarship Board and the US. Information Agency. Lapicki is an alumnus of Warsaw University and re- ceived hisdoctoratefromNew York University. He studied and lectured at Georgia Tech, Texas A&M and North- western State in Louisiana before joining the ECU fac- ulty in 1981. Lapicki will travel with his wife, Carin, and their son. Other recent Fulbright Award re- cipients from ECU are Dr. Nancy Spalding of the Po- litical Science De- partment, who is currently finishing up her Fulbright grant in Nigeria at t the University of Jos; and Dr. John Bort of V the Sociology and Anthropology de- partment, who con- ducted research in Costa Rica three years ago. Photo courtMy of ECU N?w? Bureau Greg Lapicki Public Television aiis "political correctness" debate By Bill Egbert Staff Writer Safe Speech, Free Speech and the University, a round-table debate of "political correct- ness" aired June 9 on North Carolina Public Television. The panel, hosted bv Fred Friendly of Columbia Univer- sity, included such figures as Nadine Strossen, president of the American Civil Liberties Union; Bcnno C. Schmidt, Jr president of Yale University; Randall Kennedy, a professor at Harvard law School; and ThomasGrcy, professor of law at Stanford and principal au- thor of that university's con- troversial speech code. During the hour-long discussion the panelists voiced varied positions, alternately characterizing the ideal col- lege campus as an unagu- lated marketplace of ideas, a community responsible for maintaining a positive learn- ing environment and a place where students should learn respect for diversity and work to share common goals and values. Schmidt established his position early in the hour, stating: "I don't think a uni- versity is first and foremost a community. It is not a place first and foremost which is about the inculcation of thoughts and habits of mind "The university has a fundamental mission which is the search for truth and the university is a place where people have to have the right to speak the unspeakable, think the unthinkable, and challenge the unchallenge- able he said. In response to this state- ment, Randall Kennedy asked, "what does the word 'nigger7 have to do with the search for truth?" Nat Hentoff, a columnist for The Village Voice, re- sponded by citing Malcolm X's doctrine of demystifying language. Hecritidzed speech codes, saying that they condi- tion students to lean on the administration for protection. Later, Schmidt said that fear and ignorance should be expressed and answered. In defense of the Stanford code, Grey pointed out that Schmidt's logic could be ap- plied to spitting in a person's face, and that the speech code essentially forbids students to spit at each other. Strossen, of the ACLU, criticized speech codes on several counts. She said that they are vagu e and su perficial and will prevent the discus- sion of racial issues. She also noted that some- times such codes are "selec- tively enforced citing an ex- ample at the University of Michigan where a black stu- dent was disciplined for using the term "white trash" yet no instances of anti-black radsm have been prosecuted. Strossen's strongest ob- jection was that codes create anenvironment where certain categories of ideas are rejected out of hand as inherently ille- gitimate. Ann Noel, counsel for the Fair Housing and Employ- ment Commission, defended speech codes, saying that they simulate the conditions of the modern workplace, where you may be sued for making raaally slanderous remarks. She also said that an envi- ronment where racism and sexism are unrestrained may affect some students' ability to learn, infringing on their rights to an equal education. In response, Roger Rosenblatt, an essayist for The MacNeilLenrer News Hour, advised against making self- esteem a central part of the college curriculum. Caryl Stem, National Di- rector of the Special Training Anti-Defamation League, ar- gued that campus communi- ties should eliminateoffensive behaviors through education and the mobilization of popular opinion rather that through legislation. Amateur radio gets special recognition Photo eourtny of ECU H? turaou Donna Dunnehoo and Or. Stan Garren check over equipment for Amateur Radio Field Day. ECU News Bureau Amateur radio is getting special recognition from ECU, and a group of campus "hams" are planning for some long-range conversations. Citing interest in ham ra- dio at ECU as well as the ser- vices provided by amateur radio operators, the university has issued a proclamation to observe Amateur Radio Week June 17-23. "Amateurradiooperators demonstrate their value in public assi stance by providing emergency communications and donate these services free of charge, in the interest of the citizens of the community the proclamation signed by ECU chancellor Richard R. Eakinsaid. Eakin also endorsed the plansof anew student organi- zation to put a temporary ra- dio station on the campus mall June 22-23 to allow hams and interested students to partici- pate in a worldwide exercise involving ham operators. Part of the American Ra- dio Relay League's (ARRL) field day, the exercise is held annually to practice for emer- gencies and disasters. The ARRL is a national organiza- tion of ham radio enthusiasts. Donna Dunnehoo of Jacksonville, a graduate stu- dent in the School of Industry and Technology, said ham ra- dio is being promoted by the student chapter of the Insti- tute of Electrical and Electron- ics Engineers (IEEE), orga- nized last spring. The chapter sponsors a ham station in the School of See Radio, page 3 Math and Science center improves teaching By Miriam Driot Staff Writer The ECU Math & Science Center is part of the Math- ematics and Science Educa- tion Network, a statewide program created in response to a needed improvement in the teaching of math and sci- ences. The Science & Math- ematics Education Center has been in function since 1984. Prior to this date, only two other centers existed, one at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and one at UNC-Charlotte. "Back then it wasa unique organization director of the center Dr. Katharine W. Hod gin said. The center is state funded bu t also receives private funds from organizations such as the North Carolina Manning Commission and the US. Of- fice of Education. "Without these private funds our activities would be more than limited Hodgin said. State funds provide the basic operational expenses while other ways of funding enable the opportunity of cre- atinginterestingactivities such as workshops and courses. The center focuses on both teachers and students Teach- ers have the year-round op- portunity to upgrade their knowledge of content and improve their instructional skills. So far, more than 8,000 teachers have participated. Graduate and under- graduate classes are offered by the center. Special courses and workshops have been de- signed to encourage teachers to integrate computers in the classroom and in laboratory instruction. Fellowships for teachers enrolled in for-credit courses at Network Center and sum- mer institutes for middle grade teachers are also of- fered. In 1987 the network launched the MSEN pre-col- lege program in mathematics and science with the goal to increase the number of his- torically underrepresented minorities with an interest in studying science, math or en- gineering in college. This pro- gram is also sponsored by the State of North Carolina. The ECU center is essen- tially focused on the training of teachers, but it allows stu- dents to take part in its activi- ties The center publishes a newsletter twicer-year with the helpof graduate assistants. The newsletter is sent to su- perintendents in all schools, othercenters, some professors and legislators.

Activity in hot weather can cause heat disorders By Stephanie Tullo Staff Writer When the weather gets hot and humid, heat related disorders including heat cramps, heat ex- haustion and heatstroke are an important concern. According to First Aid Prin- ciples and Practices, heat cramps are caused by overexposure to the sun and excessive perspiration causing lossofsaltin the body. Heatcramps can be followed by rapid weak pulse, weakness, nausea and heat exhaustion. According to the book, heat exhaustion is the next step from heat cramps. Heat exhaustion is caused b adiminished blood flow to the heart, lungs and brain. The blood pools in capillaries of the skin in hopes of cooling the body, leav- ing less blood to go to the vital organs. "Anyone is prone to heatstroke and heat exhaustion Suzanne Kellerman,healtheducator with the Student Health Center, said. The symptoms of heat exhaus- tion include cool clammy skin, normal to slightly high body tem- perature, muscle cramps, headache and extreme thirst. First Aid Prin- ciples and Practices said. A person experiencing such symptoms should stop activity and go to a shaded, cool area. Accord ing to the book, as much clothing as possible should be re- moved. If the victim is not nause- ated, sips of salted drinking water should be given. A cool, damp cloth should be used to aid in the body's cooling process. The most severe condition is heatstroke, First Aid Principles and Practices said. This condition oc- curs when the body stops sweat- ing and overheats. Some symp- toms include red, dry, hot skin; headache; dizziness; nausea and constricted pupils. According to Firsf Aid Prin- ciples and Practices, a vktim should be moved to a cool, ventilated place. The person's body tem- peratureshould be lowered by cold water. Medical assistance should be called. People such as these athletes should be cautious when active in hot weather DaURMd ?ECU! Incinerator causes controversy (AP)?Three Pender County commissioners who support a con- troversial hazardous waste incin- eratorwerestoppedbya temporary restraining order from voting to bring the facility to the county. The restraining order, part of a lawsuit filed by incinerator oppo- nents Monday, is valid until a public hearing set for Friday morning to determine whether the order should be extended. Commission Chairman Neil Woodcock and commissioners Paula Chewning-Bass and Bonnie Parker walked out of a commission meeting Monday when commis- sioner Willie Nixon moved to vote against inviting ThermalKEM Inc. into the county, said Jerry Randall, clerk to the board of commission- ers. Twig Rollins, assistant to the sheriff, said there was some confu- sion over whether Nixon was in contempt of court in making the motion, and that the vote could become meaningless after the hearing Friday. "It depends on how you read the restraining order. The vote would be null and void if you read vitingTrtermalKEMintothecounty. the injunction to say they couldn't It does not prohibit them from dis- vote on it at all Rollins said. "If, however, you read that they can vote it down, then yes it would be a dead issue The injunction reads: "The de- fendants are hereby restrained and rejoined both individually and col- lectively as a body from taking any action at the improperly called June 10,1991, special meeting about the location of a hazardous waste dis- posal facility in Pender County according to Richard Bass, Ms. Chewning-Bass' husband. Bass said his wife would not speak to reporters or anyone else about the case in order to obey the restraining order. County administrator Mike Lord said he understood that the injunction prevented any discussion of the incinerator. "I've been told by some attor- neys it does he said. "The board cannot discuss it until Friday, after hearing But commissioner Jack Swann said the restraining order only pre- vents the commissioners from in- cussing the issue or from voting against it, Swann said. Despite that, he said he doesn't think the vote will stand. "They (the other commission- ers) have to approve the minutes and I got a feeling they are not going to approve the minutes he said. "If s causing too much turmoil. Mr. Woodcock doesn't know how to handle the meeting. They were try- ing to close the meeting before all the business was done. Until we adjourn, the floor is open for mo- tions After coming out of a closed executive session, Ms. Bass imme- diately motioned to adjourn the meeting. At that point, Nixon moved to vote against the incin- erator, despite therestrai ning ord er. The three commissioners then walked out in protest, and Nixon and Swann voted against TherrnalKEM's coming to Pender County. The three absent votes were also counted against the incinerator, resulting in a 5-0 vote.

Opinion Page 4, Wednesday, June 12, 1991 Congress should not favor China Pearls For Swine U.S U.S.S.R. should form alliance Soon Congress will decide whether to whether to allow China to retain its most favored nation status with the United States. The debate is complicated, concerning many issues. According to Webster's, the definition of the "most favored nation clause" is "A clause, often inserted in treaties, by which a nation binds itself to grant to another nation in certain stipulated matters to the same terms as are then, or may be thereafter, granted to any other nation In effect, this clause is a gesture pro- moting friendship between two nations. The "most favorite nation" is given to countries which our government feels deserved. One such country is China. The question is why? In 1989, a sizeable group of Chinese students gathered at Tienanmen square in Beijing in an attempt at promoting demo- cratic reform. After several weeks of pro- test, the military moved on the students' rally. Some sources reported over a thousand students were killed during the crackdown. Shortly after the incident, the United States withdrew its MFN status with China. The following year China's status was re- instated. This was barely a slap on the wrist to a nation that, one year earlier, had slaughtered its own people. The president has said that, economi- cally speaking, the granting of MFN toChina is advantageous. American businesses should profit from the large supply of ex- ports which enter the Chinese marketplace. He also realizes that giving China MFN promotes friendly relations between our countries,atraditionsincel971. Bushknows that ending China's favorable status would cool relations between Washington and Beijing considerably. These are logical arguments, however, discrepancies may be found. In 1989, while China was still a favored nation, the trade deficit between our countries was $6.2 bil- lion. In other words, Americans spent $6.2 billion more on Chinese goods than they had spent on our goods. Trade with China did not do much good for our economy. But lefs not forget Tienanmen Square. It is hypocritical for Americans to support a government which tyrannically murders supporters of democracy. Budding democ- racies use us as an example ? we should live up to their expectations. It is questionable why the United States retains amiable relations with China. In the past years, China has created international political alarm. The nation continually op- erates in unethical manners. For instance, China does not honor international copy- right laws. (In fact, illegal copies of Bush's autobiography are available from several Chinese publishers.) Also, China has recently been cited for helping Pakistan build a nuclear facility which appears to be used for the production of nuclear weapons. Third, Chinese-made weapons, from rifles to surface-to-surface missiles are in the arsenals of nations like Iran and North Korea. With behavior like this, why are we so interested in retaining good relations with China? The president's efforts make to main- tain good relations with China are an em- barrassment to all America. We give "most favored nation" status to a country which is not helping our economy, ignores interna- tional mores, and above all, murders its own people. If this trend in our national leaders continues, American is doomed to be the buffoon of the world. The President has become so wrapped up in his hope for a "New World Order" that he is ignoring the call of common sense. Perhaps his stint as ambassador to China has skewed his perception, causing his decision making ability to go awry. So Congress will soon be debating whether to allow China to keep her MFN status. The answer is simple: China's most favored nation status must be withdrawn if America is to maintain a logical foreign policy. By Bill Egbert Editorial Column Ut On May 20, Mikhail Gorbachev sent a letter to the lead- ers of the industrial world hinting at a plan calling for drastic eco- nomic reform in the Soviet Union in exchange for immediate aid from the West. This plan, which has come to be known as the "Grand Bargain entails a profound cut in soviet military spending, a whirlwind transition to a free-market system, an the immediate sell-off of monu- mental chunks of the Soviet Union's failing industrial infra- structure to the private sector. In exchange, the West would lift trade barriers, extend credit and be gracious enough to snap up footholds in one of the largest markets in the world. In short, it amounts to a capitalist wish list: an absurd going-out-of-business sale for Ivan 'n' Vlad's Commie Co-op. Of course this letter wasn't a treaty; it was more a hypothetical proposition conjured up by Harvard economists and Go rbacheVsad visors. But the very fact that Gorbachev has run the idea up the international flagpole shows how deep in the hole the Soviet Union is. The "Grand Bargain" is the centerpiece of Gorbachev's ag- gressive and controversial new overture to the West incorporating concessions, appeals and even blackmail. A threat to peace Last week in Oslo, Norway, Gorbachev warned the world that a failure of perestroika would doom all hope for world peace. Ironi- cally, he made the veiled threat while accepting the Nobel Prize for Peace. He alsc said that the Soviet Union is "entitled to expect" aid from the West. Language such as this has aggravated many Ameri- can policy makers, souring the taste of an already unsavory for- eign-relations question. High Soviet officials have indicated that the price of perestroika (and by implication, world stability) could soar to a daunting$250 billion (and that is a "b" folks, no typo). The list of con- cessions loses its luster upon closer examination: the USSR still spends 25 percent of its gross national product on defense, so a cut in military spending is so ridicu- lously overdue it hardly falls into the "concession" category. Also, on our end, the lifting of trade barriers would entail our granting the USSR most favored nation trading status, a move which is impossible by our laws until the Soviets renovate their emigration policies. Add to this Gorbachev's public commitment to "preserve the socialist choice made in 1917 and one begins to feel that if the West goes for the "Grand Bargain" we'll be forfeiting our supposed victory in the Cold War. A case for U.S. aid There is a case, however, (be- yond the nuclear blackmail issue) for doing what we can to pull the Soviet Union out of the tar pit and set them up in a market economy. Thecase restson the fact that the nations who make the heavi- est investments in the restructur- ing of the Soviet economy will be the ones most intimately joined to it in the future. For instance, the European Economic Community (Germany in particular) has al- ready begun establishing deep connections to Eastern Europe. Thus, the Western European na- tions will be the primary benefac- tors when those eastern econo- mies mature. On the other side of the world, the Japanese have invested heavily in the developing econo- mies of the Far East and are already reaping benefits from their close relationship these markets. The world is carving itself up into trade zones which will determine the balance of power in the next plateau of human history. America is playing the game too, establishing exclusive ties with Mexico and Canada. But while Japan and the EEC dance off with the fertile economies of Southeast Lets Be Adamant Asia and Eastern Europe, the United States is left making awk- ward conversation with Latin America, the poorest region on the planet. Unlikely partners The remedy for this unfortu- nate situation may be to link our economy more strongly to that of the Soviet Union. While the sort ot risky economic foreplav that would be necessary would likelv make most cold warnors go limp the idea of a cozy relationship be- tween the United States and the Soviet Union is not inconsistent with our history. We are both former super powers. There was a time when the acrionsof our two nations were the sole determinants of world history. And we both have since had to move aside and share the stage with other emerging, pew ers. As a result, there is a bond between our nations that tran- scends our ideological opposition and is even strengthened by it. We were, for a time, the central play- ers in a global morality play. dancing around, the two of us, in our expensive papier mache cos- rumesasThe Almighty Dollarand the New Communist Man. We are membersof the same defunct club, caricatures of the twentieth cen- turv. We are the big dogs grown old. So the idea of a couple ot retired superpowers getting to- gether to maintain their leading roles isn't that outlandish. And as uncomfortable as it mav be to aid our former nemesis, it'll sure as hell be easier than trying to sell personal computers to Bolivian coca farmers. Ofcours. we would have to see if the Soviet Union is actually going to become a free-market economy before we start pumping capital into it. And we need to be wary of a right-wing backlash when we do. But once we can be reason- ably secure that the Soviets are committed to joining the western world, we should take all neces- sary steps to ensure that we arc their main economic ally. Intellectual change is the key to the future By Darek McCullers Editorial ColumnUt The black bourgeoisie con- stitute less than 20 percent of the black population. These are the blacks who have managed to accumulate wealth. Many of these people are out of touch with the Mack com- munity . There are a few high pro- file philanthropists and so-called dignitaries who marginally sup- port the black community, but their efforts are not enough. They share the view that if s all the individual's fault; they have failed themselves. These people should never forget that we were brought here on die same boat, yet when we got here, they put a few of us in the house and most of us in the field. It is time to get past blaming white Americans and doing noth- ing about it. There is a new era of black you th coming up who know the historical circumstances and are thinking about what they can do to change it. They are repre- sented by such groups as the Blackwatch, Coalition of Intelli- gent Black Women, and the Allied Blacks for Leadership and Equal- ity here at East Carolina Univer- sity. We are aiming for progress with the past ahead of us and the future behind us. One must know one's past before one can change the future. I am not talking about vio- lent change. I am talking about intellectual change. Change is an attitude. It will not come through slothfulness and complaining. It will come through action. Every African-American stu- dent ought to be involved in ABLE making a change. Every other student who wishes to learn about black cul- ture and be a part of this new generation and era of change should be in it too. The educator Booker T. Washington once said that in some things we can be as separate as the finger, yet like the hand in those important to mutual progress. What I like about ECU is that we have the intelligence to debate, hear all viewpoints, disagree, and yet respect each other as persons and not attack one another.I hope that we never loose this because it leads to mutual progress. 5 ADVERTISING RATES CLASSIFIED AD RATES 1st 25 words Fors rodents Non-students Each additional word .$2.00 - - Please notify the papt ? ately if your ad is moorm . will not be responsible for inow rect ads after the first di licahon.

This reputation is well deserve,d considering nearly 25 percent of the student body hits the highway on the weekends. During the summer sessions the percentage of weekend war- riors increases to the point that the dorm parking lots become not-so- vast wastelands. It is easy to see why students take their attention elsewhere on the weekends. Pitt county is located in the geographic heart of N.C which makes Greenville a short distance away from manv state vacation areas. There is one narrow stretch of land on the coast of eastern N.C. that deserves a special pointing out. The Outer Banks of N.C. area coastal phenomenon that has something to offer anyone seek- ing fun, excitement, relaxation or just some new scenery. The three islands that make up the Outer Banks; Bodie Island, Hatteras Island and Ocracoke Is- land cradle what isarguably, some of the best beaches on the East Coast. Each island has its own light- house, unique in design and his- tory. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was built in 1870 and is 208 feet high, the tallest in the United States. The Ocracoke Lighthouse was built in 1823 and is the oldest op- erating lighthouse in N.C. The Bodie Island Lighthouse, which illuminates the Pamlico Sound side of Bodie Island was built in 1872. The islands are linked by State Highway 12 (a narrow paved road) and the Hatteras Inlet ferry. On a big day the waves at Cape Ha tterascan barrel in double over head, on a bad day the waves are still waste high. In April and October there is no better place on the East Coast to fish in the surf, big Bluefish being the target of most casters. The months in between wit- ness consistent epic fishing days in the surf. If deep-sea fishing is your fancy, the Outer Banks are peer- less. Because the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current clash di- rectly of f the cost of Cape Hatteras 'he deep-sea fishing is legendary. Tuna, Dolphin, King Mack- erel, Ambcrjack not-to-mention sailfish all call the coastal waters of N.C. home. These two deep-sea currents that converge off the coast have sunk hundreds of ships, bad for the forgotten crews but good for local divers. The Gulf Stream brings tropical fish indigenous to the Caribbean to frolic in these ancient underwater skeletons. It has been rumored that JacqueCousteau may retireon the Outer Banks. When you go to Carolina's Diamond Shore (shoal) you can spend as little or as much money as you want. From $100 a night, bed and breakfast house in Ocracoke to $10 a night at one of the five public campgrounds. There are also pri- vate campgrounds that vary in price from $30 to $12 a night. The best thing about the Outer Banks is that the land is unspoiled and the population is low. No matter what you go to the Outer Banks for you will come back relaxed. -O.H RMd ECU Photo Lab The Ocracoke Lighthouse, built in 1823, is the oldest operating lighthouse on the North Carolina Coast. -Map Lourmy of National Pant Sarvtca North Carolina's Outer Banks are an unspoiled, coastal haven. Original horror flicks still set scare-movie standards By Michael Harrison Staf f Writer It's midnight. Your roommate is out sleeping around somewhere, and you're alone. Your dorm room is locked. You have your buttered popcorn, a Hershey's chocolate bar with al- monds and a large glass of Coke with lots of ice. Your VCR is waiting for you to put in a tape, but what movie is it going to be? The rest of this article will help you make a choice. "The Thing From Another World" (1951): A frozen space creature is dug out of an ice-covered spaceshi p by a group of American airmen. Of course, the creature is accidentally unfrozen and comes to life to search for blood. The group's only scientist tries relentlessly and fruitlessly to com- municate and reason with the creature, eventually leading to the deathsof two more others. A way to stop this creature has to be found before it can multipy and take over the earth. Based on the story "Who Goes There "byjohn W. Campbell, Jr this version was directed by Christian Nyby and starred Margaret Sheridan, Kenneth Tobey, Robert Comthwaite and James Arness (who played The Thing). TBS and TNT occasionally air a nicely colorized version, and a good remake with some interesting plot changes was released about ten years ago. Look for both of them. 'The Bride of Frankenstein" (1935): The Frankenstein monster (played by Boris Karloff) survives imminent death in a burning windmill by falling into its under- ground cavern. Once the monster is found, Colin Qive, as Dr. Fran- kenstein, returns to his "bring life from the dead" experiments to give his previous creation a mate. The "Bride (played by Elsa Lanchester) is finally alive at the end of the film, but she rejects her mate (a situation with which all us guys can indentify), igniting the film's climatic ending. The film, directed by the original "Frankenstein's" James Whale, marks a rare example of a sequel being better than its prede- cessor. "We belong dead a line uttered by the emotionally devas- tated monster, is still one of the most poignant in movie history. 'The Phantom of the Opera" (1925) A brilliant madman (Lon Chaney) stalks the damp cellars of a Paris opera house and falls in love with young opera singer Mary Philbin. He manages to capture her, sending heroic men to her rescue. The silent film's music score and atmospheric photography make it mesmerizing and absorb- ing. It was recently restored, bring- ing back sequences originally shot in an early Technicolor process. Chaney's scene where his hideous face is unmasked remains one of film industry's most memorable. Rupert Jullian directed most of the film but waseventually replaced by Edward Sedgwick. Chaney himself was said to have directed some of his own scenes, as well. The 1943colorremake,starring Claude Rains as the phantom, is spectacular, as well, but lacks the gripping strength of the original. 'The Wolfman" (1940): Lon Chaney, Jr. is the son of an English squire (played by the ver- sa tile Claude Rains)and is bitten by a werewolf. A victim of two later, Chaney realizes he has a problem but eventually meets death (at least until a sequel was made) at the hands of his father. Plainly (but entertainingly) written by Curt Siodmak and di- rected by George Waggner, it also stars "Dracula's" Bela Lugosi and Warren William. "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" (1942): Mad scientist Patric Knowles plans to cure Larry the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.) of his nocturnal ailment and revive the Frankenstein monster (played by Bela Lugosi). Seldom seen and melodra- matically acted, this film is, never- theless, memorable and entertain- ing. If saffordably priced on video- cassette, as well. "Kingkong" (1933): A film producer travels to Skull Island with camera and crew to make a movie. However, things get more exciting than they bargained for when they discover the island's native legend of Kong, the giant ape, is indeed actually true. Kong captures Fay Wray, but is eventually stopped and captured by the fame-hungry producer and his crew. Kong is immediately taken to New YorkCity, where he escapes and wrecks havoc all over the aty Directed by Merian C Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, this film is among the best of its kind. The black-and-white photog- raphy is striking, as is Max Sterner's score (this is one of the famed film music composer's earliest pieces), and the special effects are brilliant. Ted Turner released a restored and nicelv colorized version is '89. 'TheFly" (1958): A scientist develops an electronic matter transmitting and reassembling machine (a prelude of "Star Trek's" transporter device). The scientist transports himself, failing to notice a fly that had joined him in the transporter booth. Their atoms are irrevocably mixed, and disastrous consequences quickly develop. Kurt Neumann directed this fun flick, and an excellent remake came out in 1986, starring Jeff GoldWum and Geena Davis.

Unlikeother restaurants, whose basic concern is turnover, where you are waited upon by a hurried waitress, who takes your order, serves your food, and then disap- pears until it is time to pay the bill. The waitresses here are profes- sionals Their basic concern is to make you happy, ensure that you have enough to eat and that it is to your liking. This is probably why there is a constant influx of doctors, city workers, and college students. Food is served instantly, plates team with turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, com on the cob and cu- cumbers. The menu is posted on the wall. The most expensive, a selection of one meat and three vegetables (free refills on the veggies) for the modest price of $4.95.

Owner Eddie Sutton says in a soft southern drawl that mostofhiscustomers are adults rather than kids. The collecting as- pect of comic books is lucrative and most adults are in it for that reason. Kids just don't have that kind of money. A comic book at bottom price is $1.00 but they usually go for $450- 4.95. It is seen as a bonus when you but a comic book to just read and it goes up in value. A person has to decide which side of the fence he is on, collecting or reading. The more expensive comic books are called graphic novels. When they first came out on the market they cost $6.00 or $7.95 but now can go as high as $24.95. The novelshavea glossy cover and high quality artistic illustrations. Sutton says the high price is contributed to the quality of paper used which is much better than the paper in a Heartland Candy Company pays tribute to rettirning troops ARS Information Service AcancfycornparrymArnerica's heartland is turning out thousands of pounds of three special patriotic candies to make the troops' wel- come home just a little bit warmer.

People who would pay $24.95 for a comic book are referred to as hard core fans They go in every week for the latest issues and are willing to pay the going price. Sutton helps novices that come to his store by steering them toward the reliables in collecting such as Batman and Superman. There are times when a new comic book seems to not be worht much, for example, Ghost Rider. Aftera few months, comicbook dealers couldn't order enough. Ac- cording to sutton, comic book busi- nesses under ordered Ghost Rider only to later scramble for more cop- ies as readers demanded it. The character Ghost Rider is popular because he is dark mysterious, vio- lent, grimy and likes to take re- venge. What has held true to form for comic book heros as Sutton puts it, "if s real good reading if you like the character like Spider-Man, Superman and, of course, Batman. Spider-Man's popularity has been based on his human qualities. The mere fact "everyone thoughtofh heCharlie Brown of the comic book world Sutton laughs Spider-Man often has bad luck and makes mistakes which makes it easy fro die reader to identify with him, whereas Batman is popular for totally different reasons. In the comic book, he is far removed from the Batman of the 1960's campy televi- sion show. This Batman is dark, brooding, and violent. The most popular books are produced by DC comics that make the blue chips of comic books like Spider-Man and Batman. Few DC comics are not popular bu t the ones not in hot demand are still fun to read like The Huntress. Comic booksaregeared toward adult male readers. The females in comic books have come a long way but still have a long way to go. The comic book industry is dominated by adults so the books do have mature themes. These themes can be seen in the skimpy costumes and"bulging breasts" the women characters have. This relates to mostly a male audience and the fact that comic books "roll with the times Do you think Lois lane would be caught dead in some of the outfits these modem comic book heroines wear. Even with the little clinging outfits females in the comic books still stick to being the side kick or girlfriend. Few female characters have their own comic books. The most popular female heroines are Won- der Woman and She-Hulk. Comic books are no longer the nickel and dime thrillers they used to be. Today a person can buy a comic book for $450 and within weeks sell Uright back to the person he or she bought it from for $12.00 or more. It just goes to show that comic book collecting is a money making business. Sutton stated that the inventory needs to move quickly. Compared to the baseball card collecting business, comicbook collecting can be as rewarding monetarily. Inside a comic book there lives a different place, time, and experi- ences for people to read and enjoy. Some people but comics for money, some for love. It may be hard for some people to understand the at- traction to comic books. What can be the big deal? By just giving a comic book you find interesting a try, you may be able to see the fatal attraction. From the view of this comic book novice who is slightly hooked, which is like be- ing slightly pregnant, don't knock it until you try it Comic books are a great way to escape, to laugh, to get rid of everyday problems bysim- piy turning a page. - ?" "The Miracle" a mental summer movie By Bob Thomas Associated Press Summer is supposedly not the time of year for small, personal movies, but 'The Miracle" defies marketing tradition. And welcome it is. Neil Jordan's thought-pro- vokir?g film encircles the viewer witn its beauty and wonder and proves more satisfying than most of the over-calculated attractions of this busy season. The film's heart belongs to Jimmy and Rose, two Irish teen- agers inured to their family mis- eries. His musician father is an alcoholic, her parents are unfeel- ing and inattentive. Instead of seeking escape in drugs or sex, Jimmy and Rose build fantasies around the people they observe in their seaside town. Rose decides to tame the brutish animal trainer in a travel- ing circus. Jimmy fixes on a more alluring quarry: a mysterious beauty who appears and disap- pears on the local scene. He trails her and discovers she is an actress playing the Marlene Dietrich role in a musical company of "Destry Rides Again Jimmy confronts the tantaliz- ing lady, trying to penetrate her clouded past. She pushes him away, making his attraction even stronger. When he sees her backstage in an intense conversation with his father, he is perplexed and angry. Jimmy struggles with her and with his father until the mystery is un- folded. Jordan's allegorical tale is related with a series of arresting images: the tarnished glitter of the resort city; the enticing danger of the circus with its (symbolic?) per- former who stands on one finger; the tawdry atmosphere of the music hall. The smoky nightclub where Jimmy outshines his father on the bandstand. The four major players are masterfully cast. Beverly U Angelo plays the actress with a ripe sexuality that makes her at- traction for the young boy obvi- ous. The distinguished Irish actor, Donal McCann (seen in John Huston's last film, "The Dead"), makes Jimmy's father a sympa- thetic figure despite his drunken rages. Newcomers Niall Byrne and Lorraine Pilkington are astonish- ingly right as the all-seeing 15- year-olds The entire film rests on Byrne's young shoulders, and he portrays all the confused idealism of a boy struggling into manhood. Miramax Films is releasing "The Miracle" (an ambiguous title), which was produced by Stephen Wooley and Redmond Morris. The Miricle offers a pas- sionate alternative to the usual high-action, low-cerebral sum- mertime movie. The movie opens June 21. Tucs Tar Landing Seafood.

Common sense tells most redblooded motorsport fans that NASCAR means oval track racing south of the Mason Dixon line. However tradition gives way to variation and added excitement as Winston Cup racing teams pack their bags every year and travel across the continent to battle for cash and glory in Sonoma, Califor- nia. The challenge that faced these wheeled warriors was an 11 rum, 252 mile course known as Sears Point, which consisted of 74 laps totaling 187 miles (300k). For the last several years two men have dominated the Banquet 300, Ricky Rudd (Chevy )and Rusty Wallace (Pontiac). Last Sunday it was Davey Allison's(Ford), rum to enjoy me spotlight of victory lane. While Allison's skill and luck en- abled him to pull off a victory, he was the packs' leader only a small percentage of the race. Rudd, who won Holly Farms "Lickity Split" award for driving the fastest lap during the race suf- fered the greatest disappointment of the day. Although he crossed the finishline first, he received the black flag (the order to return to the pits) for tapping Allison's car, number 28, during the final lap. Waddle Wilson, a spokesper- son for Rudd said, "I don't under- stand this, I mean they told us that drivers make the last lap your on yourown,and Ricky was driving as hard as he could hoping to be able to get by the 28, touched him, and now they want to black flag us, this is ridiculous Allison's comment about the matter was, "I was leading the race going into turn 11,1 wasdown there on the inside, protecting the line but driving straight, I wasn't doing nothing out of line the next thing I know somebody just plowed into the back of ne and turned me around I don't think Rick did it deliberately but it was a pretty hard hit, so he could have avoided it NASCAR officials' decision about the incident left Rudd in second place. By the halfway mark, defending champion. Rusty Wallace had earned the lead, and along with it, RightGuard's 100,000 prize. However, an unidentified engine problem caused him to fall back, and finish with third place. Defending champion, Rusty Wallace had by the halfway mark earned the lead and along with it.

NBA title depends on team play By Matt Mumma Sports Editor The two best basketball teams in the NBA meet every year to decide who is to be the champion. This year the two best players in the NBA are meeting to decide who is the better man that can lead their respective team to victory. Or that is what the media would have us believe. There is no doubt that Irvin 'Magic' Johnson is one of the best basketball players to ever play in the NBA; there is no new story there. There is also no doubt that Michael Jordan will prove himself to be among the all time greats of basketball world history. The big story is that they are playing together on the same floor for the first time. Jordan is the field general for the Bulls and Magic runs the show for the Lakers. Each man runs his team in his own style, directing traffic, creating scores and making the three-point play in a unique way. Each man is a team leader and Rollerblades of Steel ?

What is being lost in the hubbub of the Magic-Jordan match-up though is that neither man would be in the finals if the rest of their teams were not all- star quality themselves. For instance, game one of the finals saw the Lakers take an important victory in Chicago but the game was not all Magic Johnson. James Worthy contrib- uted over 20 points, Sam Perkins had over 20 points and a game winning three-point shot. Vlade Divac contributed a great re- bounding game and he also blocked two of Jordan's shots. One of the reasons for the last three leaker losses has been the mediocre efforts of Perkins, Divac and Worthy. Other no-shows for the leakers have been Byron Scott and A.C. Green. Without them Magic can be as spectacular as he wants but it will be to no avail and has been. The Bulls have taken three games straight but it has not been all Jordan. He has not scored over 40 points and has been backed by solid performances by Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant and Bill Cartwright. Chicago's bench has also been productive. jun Paxon put in almost near perfect performances from the floor and Chicago's big men have pounded the boards more often and more effectively than the Lakers. The Bulls are one game away from becoming the NBA champi- ons but it will not fall on Jordan's shoulders. He will probably be the man who makes the last second shot to win the game but getting there will be the responsi- bility of every Chicago player. After Magic and Divac, the Lakers' big scorers are in a fatal slump or are hurt. Worthy has a bad ankle and Scott hurt his shoulder on Sunday. Perkins, after going l-for-15 on Sunday will have to come alive along with Green if the Lakers have a chance to win. Dodgers & Pittsburgh lead NL (AP) - There are signs that the pennant races might be over early in the National League this season. The Pittsburgh Pirates have a comfortable six-game lead over New York in the East, and first- place Los Angeles has moved 10 games over 500 i n the West to open a 2 1 2-game margin over surpris- ing Atlanta. Pittsburgh's 35-19 record is the best in baseball, and the Mets keep tripping over themselves and giv- ing games away with shoddy de- fense and poor relief pitching. Lenny Harris highlighted a six- run fourth inning with a grand slam as the Dodgers routed the Chicago Cubs 13-5 at Wrigley Field. Los Angeles took three of four games in the series and have won 17 of 22 at Wrigley Field since 1986. "We've been winning without Darryl Strawberry Harris said. "I think he shocked everybody by coming back so soon. But thaf s the type of guy he is. He wanted to come back. That's the kind of ballclub we have. Everybody wants to participate Strawberry had been sidelined with a sore shoulder as a result of running into the right-field fence at Dodger Stadium last month.

"I was worried as hell Reed Mackenzie, U.S. Open general chairman and former Hazeltine president, said Monday 'But today today, I'm delighted And for good reason. The last week has brought sunny and breezy conditions. Humidity hasbeen low. The course and the parking lots have dried to the point that the three-eighths inch of rain that fell late Sunday was a welcome sight and not a prelude to disaster.

That was the year that Tony Jacklm fought off rainy, cold conditions to win on a young course that wasn't ready to host the Open. Hazeltine is surrounded bv farmland in this Minneapolis sub- urb. Dave Hill, who finished second in 1970, likened the course to a cow pasture, and almost everyone who played the course criticized famed designer Robert Trent Jones for his liberal use of severe doglegs.
