International House to become office space Repurcussions surrounding housing reductions examined By Jeff Becker Assistant New tditor By Marjorie Pitts Staff Writer Let's see, do I want a Milky Way, Fritos, a toothbrush, a con- dom, or all four? This fall in the ECU dorms, these could be your choices. The idea about making condoms available in the dorms is part of the AIDS awareness campaign. "We are exploring the idea of having condoms included as one of the items in the vending machines rather than condom machines in the bathroom said David Fmmerling, oi-m of stu- dent development "If it is fea- sible we would like to put them in the vending mat tunes like any other health care product" The idea of condoms in the dorm has been turned down twice in SO, A until spring of 1992 when a resolution encouraging AJDs awareness by having con- doms easily assessible in the resi- dence halls "This is the biggest step we've made said SGA Presi- dent Courtney Jones. "SGA has been active in the past in trying to get condoms in the dorm, this time the administration listened and has done something about it One of the ideas in having the condoms in thedorm is to include accompanying literature about AIDS and other STD's. The idea of the literature is to educate stu- dents on the pressing idea of safer sex. "This generation of college students needs to realize that AIDS is real and serious Fmmerling said. "The issue needs to be addressed, people need to understand how divisions about sex can be irresponsible, and now Al l)S is a matter of lifeand death Currently Fmmerling and others are exploring the idea and hoping to have thecondomsavail- able in the dorms this fall. "We're just n iw laving down the ground- work Fmmerling said. Fhereare plenty of vending machinesavail- able, now the packaging and the adual trial run through the ma- chines must be tested. The word around the cam- pusspreads rapidly about the new item in the vending machines. "I think ha vingcondoms in thedorm is a really gtxxi idea because it's more convenient said senior Tasha TriceTeople will use them more when they're easy to get "Having condoms in the dorm is a gcxxl iiiea, but you can get them cheaper at student health said senior William Gessaman. "It helps in an emer- gency situation, it's better than saying forget it The opposing side of the idea of having condoms in the resi- dence halls has moral implica- tions. "The moral issue becomes the spotlight, many people do believe that sex today is taken for granted, many don't engage in sex ami shouldn't be exposed to sex said a male sophomore . "1 do not agree with having con- doms in thedonn, it creates chaos or distracts from one's morals or beliefs CONDCDMS Preventing STDs: A Checklist � You can eliminate your risk entirely by not having sex with anyone (abstinence) or by having sex only with a non-infected partner who has sex only with you (mutual monogamy). � 'Ihe more sexual partners vou have, the greater the risk you have, the greater your risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD). � Many STDs have no symptoms, so people often do not know they are infected. If you are not sure that your partner is free of infection, use protection dunng sex. Condoms, used properly from start to finish each time you have sexual intercourse,are the best protection. Sperm iadal foams and jellies offer additional protection. Thev are best used along with condoms, not in place of them. Library included in $600 million bond By Tony Rogers Staff Writer Thedepartmentof international Programs will centralize its offices in the International House m hopes of strengthening ECU's multi- national environment, but closing the house to residents may create problems in keeping in- ternational stu- dents at ECU once thev ar- nve The uni- versity estab- lished the Inter nationalHouse in 174 as a dorm that would special- ize in addressing the needs of students from other countries. David Watkins, associate vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, said the chancellor's Space Allocation committee de- termined tha t con v erring the house to the head - quarters of International Programs would help internationalize the campus. "If you want to attract quality interna- tional students, in numbers, you must have a solid international program with real iden- tity Watkins said. "We needed to find a place where we can give International Programs an identity of their own. We found that the international House may be the ticket Umesh Gulati, chairman of the university's committee on international students, said the university made a mistake in closing the Inter- national House. "Itisa very inappropriate and short-sighted policy to abolish a common residential house for international students Gulati said. "1 be- See International, page 3 . FC'U's student and faculty complains about poor library facilities may come to an end if the North Carolina Legislature passes the Capital Improvements Bond that will allow the public to vote on a $25 million addition to Joyner Library. If approved by the state Hous, the bill would authorize the issuing of $600 mil- lion in bonds bv the state. The bill will be voted on by the general public Nov. 3, 1991 The money raised would then be used to make construction additions and lm- provementson thecampusesof all lfSstate universities as well as at community col- leges and public schools across the state, including the money for joyner Library. According to state Senator Ed War- ren, chairman of the Education Oversight Committee and Pitt County representa- tive, Joyner Library is the fop pnority of the bill' "It is essential that we find funds for joyner Library Warren said. "Right now, joyner can accommo- date about 10,000 students comfortably, but there are almost 17,000 students cur- rently enrolled at ECU. Warren said he sees this bond refer- endum as a key to the progress of ECU and its ability to grow into a top univer- sity in the state. "Wecan't let tough budgetary times tear down what we have struggled to build over the past decade he said. Bill Dansey, chairman of the Finance and Facilities Committee of the Board of Trustees, said the bond referendum is the only chance ECU will have for expansion funding in the near future. "The money from these bonds wili meet facility needs that haven't been met by the state he said. Dansey also said the $1.4 million in- vested in designing the addition is a gixxi start to the project. "Unfortunately, we have come to a standstill until the state comes up with the monev he said. Dansey also explained that state law requires the entire $25 million be raised before contraction can begin Therefore, construction will not begin until after the November vote. Kenneth Marks, thedirector of joyner Library, said the addition will not only expand all existing services and functions but will also add a few new services. See Library, page 3 SGA book swap to continue fall semester By Kimberly Williams SUff Writer In an attempt to fight the high prices of textbooks, the SGA implemented the new book exchange program at the end of the spring semester. The program, which is off to a slow but hopeful start, allows students who wish to sell books to enter information into the computer system, and it allows students who wish to buy books the op- portunity to obtain a list of people selling books. a The book exchange program is not currently available to students during the summer sessions but will be in use again at the beginning of the fall semester. "We had about 200 students enter their books into the computers said Joey Johnston, who is in charge of the book exchange program. "Probably about half of those people are still in the computer One of the problems that the SGA book exchange committee is dealing with is that many students want their money instantly and do not want to wait to enter their books in the computers and try to sell them that way. Johnston said most of thestudents who were leaving school for the summer and who had not sold their books by the time they were ready to leave, took their infor- mation out of the computers and went and sold their books at the Student Store or University Book Exchange. One of the biggest challenges of the new book exchange program is proving to students that the money they will save using the system is worth waiting a little extra time. Johnston said that if students just wait a month, it will save them money. "The average was $6 more saved and $6 more made per book he said. The SGA book exchange committee is also looking for more financial backing. Johnston, who is also the SGA legislator, said oeca use the program was implemented so late, the committee was only given $200 to work with. Students can restassu red that the book exchange committee has done their best to get accurate listings of what books are needed foreach academic department, with the exception of a few small departments.

Story on page 2 Employee files $350,000 lawsuit By Matthew Jones Managing Editor An ECU employee filed a lawsuit last week demanding over $350 AX) in damages related tothewiretappingof her Public Safety phone linedetailed in last month's grand jury indictment Public Safety secretary Patricia Hair Bu I- lockfiled thesuitagainstTeddy LeeRoberson, former teteaxTimunk3tiiT�sdirectar,and kirm Willis Bunus, former captain of investiga- tions for the campus police department Bullock's complaint is the second such lawsuit relating to wiretapping on the cam- pusof ECU. Although the firstoomplaintwas filed against two individuals, the university settled the suit out of court for over $10,000, Since that time, the university has paid over $200,000 to other wiretapping claimants. The university settled most of the claims for approximately $10,000, the amount granted by federal law to victims of illegal wiretapping. However, Brooks Mills, the individual whose phone line was tapped in the original case, received a settlement of over $50,000. Bullock's demand of $350AX)stems from the same reason. "She has a greater privacy interest than someone who just called up a wiretapped phone saki Herman Gaskins, Bullock's at- torney. The Stale Attorney General's office rep- resented the defendants to the first wiretap- ping lawsuit however, whether counsel has been determined in Bullock's case remains unclear. Deputy State Attorney Tom Ziko said his officee "atfrmtryrotrepresantir and Burrus. Greenville attorney Myron Hill, who is representing Burrus in the federal indictment case, said he has not yet been contacted onceming Bullock's lawsuit but the complaint has not yet been served upon the defendants. f June 3, 1992 2 JUNE J � Second Special Olympic games prevail through rain By Tracy Ford Staff Wnlfr More than 1,500 athletes re- turned to ECl Saturday as Greenville hosted the North Caro- lina State Special Olympic games for the second consecutive vear.

"Then, what you can conceiv- ably have, is this nice situation over here for students who are on cam- pus, but in fact they are not on campus because you haven't been able to attract them The International House re- mained open year round to accom- modate international students who could not travel home during breaks. The House also provided a kitchen that enabled students to cook ethnic meals. Gulati said the university cannot provide these fa- cilities without a dorm similar to die International House, and these conveniences are what keep inter- national students at ECU. Watkins said the issue of ac- commodating international stu- dents needs to be addressed by the departmentof Student Life. During the breaks, he said a wing of a dorm mav remain open year-round or faculty members could invite stu- dents to stav in their homes. He also said arrangements could possibly be made to house the students in local motels. Slav and Umstead dorms will close for renovations in the fall and reopen as a single residence hall in two years. Inez Fridley, assistant director of housing, said a wing of the dorm may be set aside for inter- national students. Watkins said the Slay-Umstead complex may address some of the special needs of international stu- dents. However, Gulati said he was concerned beca u se no defini te plans have been made to reserve a wing in the Slay-Umstead complex. The International House holds a maximum of ten students. Watkins said the small size of the dorm also contributed to closing the house. "There have not been many stu- dents dispelled from the house he said. "We felt we were not taking on an issue that was of such magnitude that it was going to cause major problems. In the end the university would benefit Gulati said the university needs more residential housing for inter- national students, not less. "If we are thinking of doubling thenumberof international students in the next two or three years, we should double the capacity of resi- dential housing for intema tiona 1 stu- dents rather than abolishing it "Our seating for library users will go from 1,200 to 2,000 Marks said. "We have no group study fa- cilities at this time, but, with this addition, we will have 24 group study rooms Marks said the addition, which will stretch into the parking lottoward 10th Street, will also hold faculty study rooms that currently do not exist at Joyner Library. Warren said the second prior- ity of the bill would be the $2.5 million necessary to complete the cancer center at ECU's School of Medicine. Dropped from the bill was the authorized funding for the purchase of the Rose High School property. One bond referendum already approved by the State Legislature proposes the selling of $300 million in bonds. The money from this pro- posal would go to construction im- provements at the 16state universi- ties only. Community colleges and other public instruction facilities would be left out. Warren said all higher education facilities across the state should be incl uded in one pro- posal. Warren explained that a bond , referendum seemed to be the logi- cal financing choice for three rea- sons. "For one thing, interest rates on bonds are low right now he said. "Because of die recession, construc- tion bids should be low, and North Carolina can afford this because of its low debt North Carolina's state debt is about one-fourth the national aver- age. Warrenalso said thenewbuild- ing project would create new jobs and stimulate the state's economy. A study done by the Bureau of Eco- nomic Analysis of the U.S. Com- merce Department estimates that the previously proposed $300 mil- lkm project would create 11,500 new jobs across thestate.Nostudies have been done concerning the new $600 million bond proposal. The bond proposal's future looks bright if it is brought to a public vote in November.

Now. the PXT" campus will share in that growing awareness; vending machines containing condoms will most likely make their premiere in residence halls this fall. Since 198c, the idea of condom ma- chines in the dorms has been disputed throughout the university community. The issue of safetv versus moralitv has been bandied about with no real results. Now, three vears later, it seems that the idea of condom vending machines on campus will become realitv, and not a moment too soon. New statistics from the Center for Disease Control AIDS Hotline report there were 46,611 new cases of AIDS diagnosed in the last year, bringing the national total for the past year to 218301. Staggering numbers with staggering consequences. With no known cure in sight, the war against AIDS will have many more casual- ties before the white flag is waved. But those who choose a sexually active lifestyle have an effective weapon with which to defend their health. The use of condoms as an effec- tive prevention in the spread of AIDS has been common knowledge in the medical community for several years. The good news for ECU students is the university has seen fit to make condoms more readilv available to student; living in the residence halls. Though proximity does not automatically lead to increased use, availability will certainly encourage safer sexual practices. Opponents of the idea of condom ma- chines in the residence halls sight morality as one of the key issues. Some say that making condoms more available will lead to increased sexual activitv. The news for these opponents is college-aged individuals are adults. Some of these adults are choos- ing to have sex. Right or wrong, it is their choice. But with AIDS and other STD's rear- ing their ugly heads, the smartest idea is not to pretend to make choices for the students, but rather to make their choices as safe as possible. Besides abstinence, condoms are the only practical way to prevent the spread of AIDS and STD's. We live in a world where these diseases are reality. ECU students will now live in a world where condoms will be available to them 24 hours a day and safety from disease can be a reality. Campus Spectrum International House more than place to live By Neresh B. Tolani Campus Spectrum Editor's note � The following ar tide is an open letter from a foreign stu- dent describing the advantages of the In- ternational House The residence hall mil dose its doors at the end of the first sum- mer session to provide office space for international programs. I arrived at ECU, January 198E as a foreign student, to pursue an undergraduate degree 1 had been as- signed a room in the Slay dorm on campus Having been away from home for about a week, I was incred- ibly homesick and extremely hungry, craving for a "real home-cooked meal Although 1 spoke English well enough, I still felt alienated in this new place I was supposed to call home The gloomy, cold and wet weather of January did not comfort my growing depression I decided I WM going back home to the comfort of warmth, friends and family On the third day of my stay at ECU, I packed my bags and decided to inform the International student advisor, Dr Lucy Wright, about my decision, hop- ing that she would grant me a pardon and let me out of my misery I ex- plained to her how 1 felt and requested her to allow me a phone call to my parents She listened with sympathy, reasoned with me and granted my wish for a phone call, except that it was to be made at this placecalled the � International House We arrived at the International House, only to find outthattheperson whosephonel was to use was out and iwould be back in an hour At this stage, Dr Wright sug- gested mat I wait there for the phone guy, and that she would be back in an hour to pick me up I don't know if Dr Wright had had experience with "troublesome foreigners" like myself or that she was an experienced miracle worker, but that entire hour turned outtobetheturningpointofmylifein America During this hour I explored the International House, I found that it was a dorm that had a capacity for ten students Here was a dorm that repre- sented a home away from home I also met the residents, who were interna- tional students like myself, and who have had experiences and emotions that I was going through In this one hour I made friends that I would later grow to love as a family. Duringthishourlbecame con- vinced that there might be some hope after all, that perhaps if these students could make it, then so could I Finally the phone guy arrived The resident manager intro- duced us He was a graduate student in Sociology and talked to me about his experiences and urged me to give ECU a chance. I finally got to call my parents I explained to them howl felt, but I did not tell them I was ready to come home yet Dr Wright arrived an hour later as she had promised and noticed how relieved and relaxed I koked She was kind enough to sug- gest that I stay at the International House for a night, and if 1 still wanted to go home she would personally take me to the airport That night I actually enjoyed myself for the first time at ECU Education Regained Summer school: a comedy of terrors By Matthew Jones Bill Walker Michael Martin FNeudo Fditorial Columnist The following morning I went to Dr Wright and requested her to transfer me to the International House where I had learned a vacancy ex- isted My request was granted and I stayed at the International house for two years before moving info an apart- ment with a friend I have recently finished my Masters degree also at ECU, and I can confidently say that the International House has hosted memories of hun- dreds of students, bo domestic and international, as it has for rhe. To the 1-r international student, the lnterna nonalHousehas been a refuge of sorts, it has been a place to visit or stay at when all the other dorms are closed for the holidays, it has been a place to visit on the off chance that one will 'ind someone from one's homeland, or one who speaks the same language To American students this has been a place to visit, where they can go to practice a foreign language, or to share experiences about a visit to some foreign country, or to make new friends or to discuss international poli- tics or to discuss the marketing strat- egies and policies of the third world It always amaes me when I think about the kindness the International House receives from trie local community and organizations These oganiza- tions take it upon themselves to visit the International House and organize events for all students to celebrate in. be it the season of goodwill or the Fourth of July The International House also maintains an open door policy, and everyone is welcome, it remains open even when the entire campus is closed It tries to house ten students, each of a different country including one stu- dent from the United States Where else can one go on campus to experi- ence ten different cultures under the same roof, ten different languages, lifestyles, and culture, or where can one go on campus to have live �epre- sentation of culture which would oth- erwise be confined to textbooks and imagination. 1 am appealing to the adminis- trators, to piease experience the Inter- national House, before making a deci- sion as to its status as a dorm. On behalf of all th students who have shared an experience at the Interna- tional House,t appeal to you to let the International house continue as it has, so that it continues to represent what it stands for and as an important and integral part of the International spirit of ECU. One of the greatest mvths sur- rounding this campus concerns sum- mer school Most people dread it We think it's okay With eight such sessions al- ready under our belt, we've come to learn that summer school is not dreadful, but delightful Not even a three- 1 nth stint at the beach, gain- ful en ployment in a large INaVo- politan area,or even93 days oi'faith- ful devotion to reruns of Cilhgan's Island can compare to the oxymoronic notion of summer learn- ing Summer school provides an experience different from the nor- mal slower-paced semesters The first thing one comes to realize from the start of a summer term k the lack of interest bv both teacher and stu- dents Students don't want to be sweating in Greenville, strapped to the grindstone, and teachers don t want to be slaving, stuck in the .e - rure pit The outcome proves to be ben- eficial for both parties A sort of re- id atmosphere and mutual respect builds between teacher and student Students show up for classes and teachersare more willing togive you that extra point you need Stu- dents become more organized be- cause of the intense course load and teachers do their work faster because ot less students Summer School is actually not the boring dread it's perceived to be It can he a learning experience un- matched bv regular semesters Cov- ering an entire s-mester, well, in four weeks, makes getting an education fun Weekly tests and daily quizzes neep even the laziest student on guard But the classroom isn't the only area of change during the humid, ungle-iike summer months of Gre- enville Socialites will notice a change in the pace of downtown The select rew devoted Greenvilhans dominate the dirty district. Bars are sparsely populated and a certain "circle" of cronies evolves out of a devotion to a particular bar Bartenders know you by name and preferred dnnk, and the Stop Shop clerks always say "Hi " Ev� the bartender at a local iaundrymat is prone to give you two free wasr- on a Tuesday night � contingent upon vour smile and his day Back on the university grounds (ah-hem Dr Rives) parking is infi- nitely easier in summer school than it is during regular semesters One- third the number of students pro- vides two-thirds more parki spaces and the decrease in traffic is visible The university also embarks on massive construction projects to confuse students when they return in the fall (just so that the freshmen don't feel like they've been picked on). The whole town seems to breathe out a sigh of relief when summer rolls arou nd No noise ordi- nance violations No massive frat parties Noobnoxiouscollegedrunks harassing the locals in public areas Even we editors like summer school Weget paid the same amount of money for half the work. After all, isn't that the Ameri- can wav? Maxwells Silver Hammer Health care not just a national issue By Scott Maxwell Editorial Columnist Well, I may as well make it offi- cial I have cancer Specifically, I have Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph glands At the moment, half of the lymph glands in my neck and chest are swollen to the size of basketballs (I'm exaggeranng) And as I've just gotten out of the hospital, which I was forced to make my home for five and a half days, it's difficult to write about anything except health care In most ways, I'm lucky First of all, I picked a really good cancer, as these things go; the cure rate for Hodgkin's is better than 90 percent What's more, the pathologist teils me that the cancer hasn't spread to my spleen or anywhere else (that's what the godawful surgery was all about) So I'm getting of f light: probably six to eight weeks of radiation treatments, and thaf s it. No chemotherapy, thank Whoever' In Charge I'm also lucky in that I'm cov- ered by my father's health insurance The company is trying to weasel out of paying for this, but they're really stuck. In a future column, I'll tell you all about the insurance company and their dishonorable attempts to screw rr out of the money I deserve, all while giving ma a cheery "good luck" on the phone. But the bills are coming in any- way, because I see most of what I'd have to pay if I were less firm with the insurance folks, and well, you wouldn't believe it Sixteen hundred and fifty-five dollars for one set of tests, threehundred more for a couple of CT scans 1 haven't gotten the bill from the hospital yet, and frankly, I don't want to Abdominal surgery complete with organ removal plus five days' stay I don't even want to think about it This is why health care is such a contentious issue in America today I've got a cancer that can be cured (probably), but under slightly differ- ent circumstances, it could kill me anyway, simply because I couldn't afford the bills Hell, I couldn't hope to afford this I'd have trouble affording it if I had a full-time job, what with losing all that time from work. Everyone should have access to health care But granting that every- one should have access to health care ts rather easier than providing it There are three basic desired qualities of health care: rapid access, affordability, and high-tech equip- ment Trouble is, you can only have two of the three Right now, we have rapid ac- cess and high-tech equipment. We want affordability The question is, what are we willing to trad for it? Since speed of access is an im- portant consideration � most diseases worsen with time � well have to trade in the high-tech toys. (Depend- ing on how high tech radiotherapy is, that kind of trade might kill me. Cast Entertainment la vie) The most sensible solution that comes to mind is to limit those parts of health care that are made universal. Vaccinations, routine checkups � preventive maintenance, in short � should be made covered That may even save money in the long run, thanks to the well-known relation- ship between prevention and cure But I'm skeptical that anything more will come of universal health care than that. The costs mount up ft�t, as soon as America actually has to start paying for universal health care, America will start looking for ways to gut it. At any rate, until we have uni- versal health care, you're responsible for your own I don't ordinarily give advice like this, but I urge you to prepare for the worst. Now. While- you're healthy Find out whether you're cov- ered by your parents' insurance (if they claim you as a dependent, you probably are covered, but check). If not, sup smoking, stopdriruv ing, and get your own heal insure ance Find a way to pay for it If s worm it If worse come to worst, there are organizations that pay part of the heal care costs for young persons. Wa college students are still young enough to apply for some of these funds. Check. Believe me, the last thing you want when you're sick is to have to worry about paying to gat better I've seen the bills, and they ain't pretty. Unlike other sequels that have come out recently.

Riggs assures him that he knows what he is doing. Tmcutting the red wire, Rog says Riggs. "Whixxxxxxa a minute ago vou said blue returns Murtaugh.

The next scene provides awe- some visual fireworks. An entire building blows up before our eyes. A building in Orlando had been scheduled for demolition so the film- makers demolished it for tne cam- era. The results hxik superb. Incred- ibly enough, the movie'sexcitement increases fmm there. A ruthless ex-cop (Stuart Wil- son) becomes the villain in Lethal Weajfon 3. His evil is nastily exag- gerated when he puslies a disloyal worker into fresh concrete as more concrete pours down. "Wait he tells a potenbal co worker who wants to turn away "we can put our initials in it This evil man raids the police Station for illegal weapons that have been confiscated. The plot is purposely thn. Af- ter all its only purpose is to provide a means for Murtaugh and Riggs to relate. The action and the humor provide the foundation for success. Rene Russo plays , lieutenant in Internal Affairs who knows mar- tial arts She takes part in some of the wilder fight scenes. As Riggs tells Murtaugh when she takes on five hoodlums at once: "1 want you to watch this, Roger. She has a gift More excitement comes in the bang-up finale as Riggs sets fire to several acres oi construction. The humor floats in fmm all areas. Riggs consistently spats one- liners The woman from the ar- mored car returns later in the film with flowers and candy for Murtaugh. "You tell that man she loudly purrs, "that he is the jam in my jelly roll Much added humor comes from 14 Geti0oeFesd of GoofyBm and Mv Cousin Vinny). Leo likes to tell people that he is a gixxl real estate agent. "Whatever you want; Leo gets c iet it? l,eo GetZ . This sophomoric humor takes the film into tiie c ome� 1 ic stra h s phere. Leo's every other word is "okay He rattles off dialogue like an auto- matic weapon. The scripthasbeen streamlined so that the serious intrusions are kept to a min i mu m. The scene w here Murtaugh shixits a teenager comes off as heavy-handed. Yet another potential uncomfortable interrup- tion where Riggs confronts Murtaugh on his boat plays true. The swageness of the first two films has been downplayed in Le- thal Weapon 3. Thus the film suc- ceeds more than either of the other two. Siime viewers mav crave more serious killing but most will relish the fun to be had watching these characters interact. This film rocks and mils for its en tire two hours. Many viewers will revisit this rVSaBJNM several times. There is just so much to enjoy. On a scale of one to ten, Lethal Wmpou 3 rates an 8. By Joe Horst Assistant Entertainment Editor Saturday night, The Platters played to a soaked but enthusiastic crowd at the opening ceremonies for the Special Olympics. Though the performance was in question nght up to the start, The Hatters decided not to disappoint their fans and gave a rousing, fun- loving show. Even the" rough weather � a constant drizzle from start to finish, sometimes escalating to a downpour � didn't deter lhe crowd fromen joying the l�50sstyle group and dancing to their heart's content. The Platters performed around fifteen songs, smcxithly changing lead singers and keeping the audience's attention with nary a hitch. Singing some of their hit songs, like "Only You" and "With This Ring The Tlatters left a smile on the audience's faces and obvi- ously enjoyed playing to such a receptive enwd. First managed in 1�S3 by Buck Ram, The Platters started out as an all male quartet, eventually grow- ing into the four male, one female group that it is today. Monrie Powell, the lead tenor ot the gnup for the past tw enty years, joins with Donne Radford, LeonQlliam, Vkki Mixire and Mike Davis tn create the special sound of meaningful lyrics coupled with an impressive array of vocal harmonies. Buck Ram, The Platters' man- ager fmm RS4 till hisdeath in 1991, led their success with his one-of-a- kind combination of nostalgia and amtemrx irarv sty leof performance. Ram led The Platters to un- equaled fame and popularity, com- piling sixteen gold records and ap- pearances in the movie "Rock Around the dock" and five other films. Through The Platters, Ram Pholo by Jo� Hor�t The Platters performed for an enthusiastic Special Olympics' crowd Friday evening despite the bad weather. brought back performance values and the importance of material to a group's record. The Platters lyrics and songs may have started in the 1950s, but their music is still fresh nearly forty years later. As Ram said regarding his hit song "Only You "It starts out, 'Only you can make this world seem right and in the last ten years we've been worried a lot about the world With ten or more gold records from different artists per- forming "Only You Ramattributes its success to its simplicity and honesty. "It's one of our better songs Ram said. "Just a song that caught on, and I think it's because of the simple lyric Though the weather may have deterred most of the crowd from staving, the wait was worth it when The Platters finally tixik the stage. Their upbeat style and obvi- ous love of their music had people dancing right in front of them and enjoying themselves immensely. Endingtheirhour-longperfor- mance, The Platters gave hugs and handshakes to their fans and left to a rousing ovation. King provides 'Needful Things' By Joe Horst Assistant Entertainment Editor "You've been here before With these four words, Stephen King begins his latest � and last � Castle Rixk story, Needful Things. Readers may think they have been here before and know all there is to know about Castle Rock, but King still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Kinghasdeligh ted readers with the small town life of Castle Rock, Maine for vears now. With the first appearance of Castle Rock in his novel, The Dmi Zone, King has gone to feature this make-believe town and its characters in books like Dif- feren t Seasons, Cujo, The Dark Half and the most recent.

Curdled music sours Dead Milkmen's latest album By Mark Brett Staff Writ�r SoulRotatum iseither the smart- est album the Dead Milkmen have produced,or the weakest,or maybe it's both. As the Milkmen them- selves have made abundantly clear, nothing in this world is easily un- derstood. Known for perversehumor and gixxl-natured yet vicious lampoon- ing of American culture, the Dead Milkmen have spent seven years making the wrong enemies and enjoying it. On Soul Rotation, they try to find a meaning to it all. Initially a bland and confusing mix of con- spiracy theories and UFO stories, the album congeals after a few lis- tens into an intriguing mix of con- spiracy theories and UFO stories. The pungent wit of earlier al- bums, however, is barely in evi- dence. This time, the Milkmen are serious. Many songs on the album ex- press a paranoid concern about the way of things, a sort of crackpot ideology, but the ideology is best expressed in The Conspiracy Song A ragged piece with a break- vi neck pace, "Conspiracy Song" talks of a "They" who own the world and control people's lives on a daily basis without our knowledge. In the song, everything is sinis- ter. Delivered with a fanatic's zeal, the song whips Soul Rotation into a paranoid frenzy that echoes right into the final song. The conspi racy theory ex pand s to include UFO sightings that "They" don't want communicated, the obvkms irrationality of die way we live our lives and finally, God himself. In "God's Kid Brother singer H.P. Hovercraft (a.k.a. Rodney Anonymous) speculates that "maybe there are two Gods One who created all the perfect people, and another, God's Kid Brother, who created everyone else. And the perfect people, it seems, don't want to let anyone else in on the joke. Soul Rotation ends,after 40 min- utes of dank paranoia and mistrust, on a decidedly peaceful note with "Shaft in Greenland Referencing Richard Roundtree'sblaxploitation hereof the 1970s, the Milkmen urge listeners not to follow Shaft's vio- lent example. In a strange place, Hovercraft croons, Travel around i I and meet all the people Work up me nerve to touch them lightly . See ho h it feels to be Shaft in Green- land Musically, the album seems to flatten the band's quirky style. A mixture' flames Brownriffs,avant- garde stytings and pure punk grunge, the Dead Milkmen sound was somethirig unique. Many songs on this effort b lkw that basic tem- plate but lack the perverse innova- tion that really biought earlier al- bums to life. Soul Rotation, as a re- sult, sounds hollow. Perhaps this was deliberate on the part of the band. By doing away with the more outrageous aspects of the humor and the musical tricks, the Milkmen are left with a basic skeleton to hang their words on. Withoutany of thatdistracting rich- ness, the listener is forced to pay attention to the message for once. Maybe die Dead Milkmen were just tired of being the goofballs. Or maybe they just got lazy and turned outa moderately funny album that examines ideas they've dealt withelsewhere.Only the Milk- men can know for sure, but opti- mism and a strong fondness for Soul Rotation says if s the former.

The two have de- veloped a closer friendship in each one of the Lethal Weapon films. Their comk timing gets better with each outing. Phis time Martin Riggs(C.ibson) has finally freed himself of the sui- cidal instincts that plagued him in the first two installments He still has a fearlessness about him but his energy has been channeled into wit ind compassion instead of self pity. Roger Murtaugh (Glover) still maintains that he "is too old for this hit but deep down he thnveson the excitement. He has learned to respect and appreciate Riggs. Murtaugh remains the stable fam- ily man who still loves the thrill of leing a cop. As Lethal Weapon 3 opens, Murtaugh and Riggs arrive at the i one of a bomb scare. Their repar- tee while huddled over the bomb in a parked tar has been on display in various preview clips. Riggs wants to cut the blue wire but Murtaugh wants to wait for the bomb squad. Riggs assures him th.it he knows what he is doing. "I'm c utting the red wi re, Rog says Riggs.

It hasn't been easy since so much was expected from the Bulls, who went 15-2 last year in winning the championship and then came back with a 67-15 record for the best mark in the NBA this season. Before the playoffs started, there were some who thought the Bulls might go 15-0 in the play- offs this season. The expectations increased after a three-game sweep over Miami. "Ridiculous was Jackson's response, and the Bulls proved it, losing three games to the Knicks and two more to the Cavaliers. There is no talk of a sweep over the Trail Blazers, although Michael Jordan called the victory in the sixth game over Cleveland "a great confidence builder for all of us Jordan had a miserable per- formance in the first three quar- ters of Game 6, missing 15 of 20 shots before scoring 16 points in the final period to share scoring honors with Pippen at 29. There is no fear of taking the Trail Blazers for granted. They had the best record in the West- ern Conference at 57-25 and they knocked off Utah in six games by winn ing a t U tah 105-97 last Thurs- day night. "Portland is one of the most athletic teams in the league Jor- dan said. "It's a big challenge Jordan said it was tougher defendingthechampionship than winning it for the first time.

Seles almost ousted from French Open PARIS (AP) � Monica Seles knew beforehand she wouldn't be kicked out of the French Open be- cause of the U.N. sanctions against her native Yugoslavia. But she nearly got knocked out anyway. Seles, the top seed and two- time defending champion, trailed 4-1 in the final set before coming back to beat Japan's Akiko Kijimuta 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, and reach the quarterfinals. While Seles struggled to avoid a stunning upset, her counterpart in the men's field advanced with little trouble. Top-seeded defending champion Jim Courier over- whelmed 17-year-old Ukrainian Andrei Medvedev 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, to make the final eight. "I feel this is probably my best tennis so far said Courier, who has not dropped a set in his four matches. Rain hit Roland Garros for the fourth day, wiping out five of me 12 scheduled matches. In one sus- pended fourth-round match, No. 11 Andre Agassi led Spain's Emilio Sanchez, 6-1,6-3,1-1 Pete Sampras, the No. 3 seed, never got on court against Carl Uwe Steeb. But if the rain and Courier's victory were predictable, Seles' troubles against an opponent ranked No. 150 in the world were i shocking. Seles had won her three previous matches 6-1, 6-0; 6-2, 6-2; and 6-0,6-1. Seles' shaky performance came in the wake of uncertainty over the status of Yugoslav athletes. The UN. Security Council on Saturday imposed sweeping sanc- tions against Yugoslavia, now con- sisting only of Serbia and Montenegro, because of its involve- ment in the fighting in Bosnia- Herzegovina. Only hours before Seles took the court Sunday, tournament offi- cials annouced that they would not stop her from playing. t; Sports uJhr iEast (Earulinian June 3, 1992 7 SERVICES OFFERED pim; and they're off family u Michael Martin Sport 1 i itoi IN( s K p fJca �Ml K n' llison aixl Dale ng up N S( K � - uthIreenvillians n tv burning up tracks of t tracks that is irk ttv newest � tinment in Pitt � � i! i,1. an an ade . . �. arts mn - �� .
