Governor proposes tuition hike By Tony Rogers Staff Writr Students and administrators at ECU may be hit with an extra financial hardship if Governor Jim Martin's proposed budget passes through the state legisla- ture unmodified. Governor Martin has pro- posed a 10 percent tuition in- crease at all state universities to begin in the fall of 1992. Along with this added burden to stu- dents is a proposed $1.8 million in cuts from ECU's budget for the 1992-93 school year. These cu ts a re the most of any school in the state. "This was a very difficult budgetary year said Joanne Latham, deputy director of com- munications for Governor Mar- tin. "The Governor had to find different ways to increase rev- Technology creates video experience By Tracy Ford SUff Writer Technology is entering the classroom. With the use of FAX machines, interactive video and high-speed data transmission, classes may be taughtat many North Carolina universities with- out a teacher physically present A classroom with microphones, video cam- eras and televisions ls needed to participate in the video network, which is set up across the state. MCNC, the communications center for the net- work, operates CONCERT, a state wide program interconnecting 10 universities in North Caro- lina. The network offers "videoproximity" which gives access to all the connected universities. Classes can be taught through the network at ECU's vkJeocoiTferencingcenter in Joyner library or in the Brody building at the Medical school. Thomas McQuaid, producer for the video conferencing center at ECU, said the video a mferencing center is used two to three times per week during the summer and almost every day during the regular school year. The center is used for conferences and semi- nars as well as the teJeclasses. "Say Carolina is offering a class that we're not, students can sign up here and come here to take the class and look at the teacher in the monitor McQuaid said. With the use of the microphones and video cameras, one class can be taught in "real time" in several different locations by one teacher. The ability to tape and review classes, for exams or because of absence, is a definite advan- tage to students. Instruct rs may have to adjust their teaching style to accommodate the teJeclasses.

In some cases, he was forced to do things he wou Id rather not havedone. One of these things was to increase universities' tuitions According to state Senator Ed Warren, the money brought in from these tuition increases will remain in the respective schools to be used as the admin- istrations see fit. Both Latham and Warren said that the state will see no increase in revenue from tuition increases. Warren, chairman of the Ed uca tion Overs ight Committee, sees the rnc rease in tuition as " un- fair and inappropriate at this time "Our committee is dead against it Warren said. "In fact, most of my associates in the Sen- ate don't agree with it Wa rren sa id his concerns also lie with a possible 20 percent tu- ition increase at community col- leges across the state. If passed, the 1992-93 school year would mark the fourth consecutive year of tuition in- creases at com- munity colleges and put tuition at most affected by a these two-vear tuition increase at ECU will be one of the universities the community schools iust $164.40 less than at the average four year school College level in the state. Warren said ������� ECU will be one of the universi- ties most affected by a tuition in- crease at the community college level. "ECU's development is in- fluenced heavily by Pitt Commu- nity College Warrei said. "PCC is the second largest community college in the state. It has become a stepping stone to ECU Warren said a ruitkm increase would hurt an improving image at ECU. "We have the largest school of education in the state he said. "People look at us as leaders in edu- cation in North Carolina Warren also said thai- an in- crease in school fees would hurt the image of the state's entire uni- versity system. "North Carolina ranks sec- ond to just Texas in tuition cost Warren said. "We take pnde in our accessible education According to Latham, a tu- ition increase will not hurt North Carolina's reputation as having one ' ihe lowest tuition rates in thenanon. "Our tuition will remain one of the lowest in the country she said. "And all the money wiJI go back into the university systems Latham did not know if the tuition increases were included to make up for the budget cuts at each university. The $1.8 million cut from ECU's budget is the highest in the state. UNC is second with $1.4 million in cuts, while NCSU is third with $950,1)00 in cut-backs. Warren said he sees no rea- son for the state to cut ECU's budget more than anyone else's. "We just want our fair share of the state's monev said War- ren. "Just because we don't have as many students as L'NC or NCSU does not mean that our needs aren't just as great X hats mark the spot; fad or philosophy? Malcolm X now in fashion and in philosophy By Robert S. Todd AaaisUnt Sport Editor The X hats, started by director Spike Lee for promo- tion of his up-coming movie about the life of Malcolm X, are starting to freckle malls and college campuses across the country. The enormity of a man bom Malcolm Little is aston- ishing, especially considering most of the people wear- ing the hats and T-shirts emblazoned with his name and likeness were bom long after the assassination of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz is a hot item. So hot, his widow has been forced to take legal action against com- panies making money off the now famous X. You cannot have a legal right to a letter in the alphabet, but it is more than coincidence El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz's last name was once X. X is, perhaps, the newest fad. "My opinion, however, is that all the people wearing the Malcolm X caps are not wearing them for fashion purposes, but they are concerned about making a state- ment said David Dennard, associate history professor at ECU. "I think they share some of the same views of Malcolm X What those views are is ambiguous. "There are at least three distinct Malcolms Dennard said. El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz was bom Malcolm Little in Omaha, Neb. In his early years, Malcolm was involved with drugs and crime. Eventually, he was sent to prison where he began to educate himself. After being released from prison, he joined the Nation of Islam under Elijah Muhammad and replaced his slave surname with X. Elijah Muhammad's followers in the Nation of Islam took the X in place of the African name they could never know. After a falling out and a separation from the Nation of Islam, Malcolm became an orthodox Muslim, distinetly different from the Nationof Islam,and took the name El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. "The Nation of Islam was an organization or reli- gious cult founded in this country Dennard said. "They adhere to some of the same teachings, they follow the Koran, but this Nation of Islam placed emphasis on race that orthodox Muslims did not. So this was like a black supremacist (organization) to some extent Fad or ambiguous political statement? "It's a big fad, if you ask me said an ECU sopho- more wearing a Malcolm X T-shirt. She said she just wore the shirt beca use she needed something white to match her outfit. "There are people who have a whole Malcolm X wardrobe and don't know shit about what it means she said. "I don't know much about Malcolm X, and I don't try to A member of an African-American fra temi ty, who wished to remain anonymous, said he does not wear the hats because hedoes not know much about Malcolm X, "I think it would be wrong to wear it and know nothing about him he said. Dennard said he does not agree with him. "I tiiink that's going to happen with anything Dennard said. "There are folks who carry around bibles and don't understand them, some people carry around other things. I think that's the first step to begin to under- stand. "Because the same thing I see in some cases in the South with the Confederate flagon the vehicles, and all of that, people don't really understand the South and basically what the Confederate flag is all about The politics of Malcolm X are anything but clear, yet carry a gravity that should not be overlooked. The press had been accused of creating a false image of the man behind the podium. United Press International, theday after the assassination, descri bed El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz as a "bearded Negro advocate of violence against whites In a January 1965 interview with Playboy, Martin Luther King Jr. talked about the politics of Malcolm X, who had already made his pilgrivige, or hajj, to Mecca. "I totally disagree with many of his political and philosophical views - at least insofar as I understand where he now stands King said. "I know that I have often wished he would talk less of violence because violence is not going to solve our problem. And in his litany of articulating the despair of the Negro without offering any positive, creative alternative, I feel that Malcolm has done himself and our people a great disservice. Fiery, demagogic oratory in the black ghet- tos, urging Negroes to arm themselves and prepare to Popularity result of need for black leadership (CPS) � Some University of Minnesota students arid faculty experts suggest that new interest in slain black leader Malcolm X and clothing�hats, buttons or T-shirts with the letter "X" or slogans � is con- nected with feelings of disenchantment with current black leadership. 'There is not anyone in a leadership role at this time, so there are people trying to find their own identitv, trying to detenrane which direction they are headed Elka Steven, a graduate student studying the social and cultural aspects of clothing, told The Minnesota Dairy. Some blacks say their leaders have sold out. "Malcolm had a record of uncompromising lead- ership and very principled behavior said August Nimtz, a political science professor. "And that's ex- actly what people are looking for James Scroggins, a sociology student, told the Daily that the civil rights movement has not fulfilled its promise to blacks. "The civil rights movement has let a few blacks get through the cracks, but the majonty of them are still living in downtrodden, ghetto-type environ- ments he said. "Racism has permeated back into this society. We are living in a more separate, unequal and hostile society See Hats, page 2 Orientation visits, time to rub elbows again Freshman orientation kicked off Sunday with more than 550 students attending. There will be six orientation ses- sions this summer. "It is estimated that over 3,000 freshman and 1,000 transfer students will attend the sessions said Eliza- beth Freeman, who works in the orien- tation office. Placement tests, movies, concerts, games, a pig pickin registra- tion and information sessions are all part of this year's orientation. Parents can even participate in a parent orientation that includes tours, lectures from the chancellor and the dean of students, and lectures about the financial and health issues of col- lege students. In the Mendenhall Great Room, student organizations put together booths to show students what their organizations are all about "This is a great opportunity for the new students to get a look at the university through the eyes of the students, which, in the long run, will be more beneficial to the campus or- ganizations said ECU student and recreational services representative Jamie Goins.

It's on television, it must be true, office), most of the nation has not even Campaigns have been made and ru- heard of him. The media is a gate keeper ined by sound-bytes.

Discussing Perot's bad haircut Show. The media seems to be deciding should be a waste of time � but image who should be president and who is not a viable or serious candidate. Agran is a viable candidate who de- serves exposure. He at least deserves the chance to let the public decide if he is a serious candidate. He was excluded from debates during the primaries by MacNeil Lehrer,NBCandCNN. Without media exposure presidential campaigns are wastes of money. There is an immense danger in allow- ing the media to make decisions for the the slant of a reporter, public. Too many people have been taught Recognize thecandidates for who they throughout their lives by parents and are, not just who the media says they are. teachers to not question authority. Decide for yourself. Think. Vote. Maxwell's Silver Hammer Horatio reincarnated as H. Ross Perot matters. Voting for the president of the United States should not be easy. Take the time to find out what seems to be the critical infor- mation about a candidate. The media can- not and should not be, even though they are, responsible for telling the public who to vote for and what to believe. Take the time to sift through information the media presents and distinguish between fact and By Scott Maxwell Editorial Columnist According to the conventional wisdom, the Democratic and Re- publican bigwigs don't understand the nature of the threat posed by H. Ross Perot. Nor do they understand why he's so popular with the vot- ers. And it's all because they're out of touch with the American people. For once, the conventional wisdom is almost right. It's true that the party leaders don't understand Perot and his appeal, and it's true that their inability to understand Perot's 2ppeal stems from a lack of understanding of the American people. But what is it about the Ameri- can people that the party leaders have failed to understand? Their desire for a government that actu- ally functions? Their frustration with political infighting that comes at the expense of the general welfare? No, give them credit: the old guard un- derstands all that just fine, though they haven't done much about it Perot's appeal runs deeper than tiiat. Voters are attracted to Perot because he is a mythic figure. Not that he's a god or anything. But Perot unit. two of the most power- ful and enuuring American myths: �:�� Hcratio Alger myth and the Re- luctant Sheriff myth. Hor.itto Alger was a nine- teenth-century American novelist who wrote practically the same novel about a zillion times. Such enthralling works as Rufus and Rose: or, The fortunes of rough and ready and Slow and sure, or, From the street to the shop typically traced a pitiable waifs arduous path from rags to riches. If "you work hard, save your money, respect authority, and keep quiet, eventually some Dickensian coinci- dence will dump a fortune in your lap � or anyway, that's the myth. Perot seems like a Horatio Alger story come to life. He isn't, quite; among other things, his fam- ily was rather less poor than he has claimed. But facts rarely interfere with myths, and such is true in Perot's case: in America's mind, he embodies the American Dream. In any event, he does fit the myth pretty closely. Perot had humble enough beginnings; he's the son of a cowboy-turned -cotton bro- ker, himself a self-made man. And it's well known that Perot parlayed a $1,000 loan from his wife into a 53.3 billion fortune. Whatever he may have lacked in rags, he has made up for in riches. Having made his fortune, Perot now stands ready to embody another deep-rooted American myth. As George Will pointed out in the Jun. 1 issue of Newsweek, Perot is being looked to as The Outsider Who Will Come Into tr.c Corrupt Town and CleanThingsUp. "Maybe that is Perof s role Will writes, "the Reluctant Sheriff who would rather ride into the sunset but first has to make the town safe for womenfolk and young'uns Perot plans to clean things up by "eliminating gridlock" (one of his favorite phrases), not by shoot- ing the bad guys. And if that ap- proach makes him more of a peace- maker than a fighter, well, so what? It doesn't matter to the myth. The Reluctant Sheriff myth demands a sheriff who takes charge and whips everybody else into line. That's just what Perot's supporters believe hell do. The Horatio Alger myth and the Reluctant Sheriff myth are part of our national consciousness; they are at the heart of many of the sto- ries we tell ourselves about our- I selves. Horatio Alger stories abound, and not just in Horatio Alger's books; similarly, Reluctant Sheriff stories are played out in Westerns from The Virginian to High Noon and all points in between. When such stories appear to cross over into the real world, they have an enormous psychological im- pact. I don't mean to suggest that all of Ross Perot's appeal is due to American popular mythology; much of it has to do with plain old politics. But his identification with the myths is one hell of a powerful asset. The problem with the Demo- cratic and Republican party leaders is not that they don't understand the American people. The problem is that they don't understand people, period. They don't understand the power of myth in the popular mind. Say Anything Blind from the facts of who you are By Robert S. Todd Editorial Columnist The television cast shadows on both of us. Our silhouettes have stuck in my mind for a long time and only later did I realize what people would have said if they knew. Most people are disgusted with this kind of relationship. "It's just not right it's not natural � if God wanted it that way he would have . people like to say. It didn't seem awkward to me. I had been in that position many times before. The feeling was very natural. Two consenting adults. It didn't hurt anybody and made, at least, two people very happy. What I do behind my door is my business. People are human before they are gay, lesbian, black, white, plaid, checkered or green. To say things are "unnatural" is depriv- ing people of their humanity. Before people start becom- ing homophobic, I am not gay. She is a beautiful woman - who hap- pens to be African-American (whatever that means). 1 am Irish- Hungarian-French-Czechoslova- kian-American. Pigment does not determine social values, athleticism or the size of your Johnson�. Not many people actually know the reason behind skin color. God did not "color" us. People with pale, milky col- ored skin and the black skins of central Africa are unique adapta- tions to the environment. Most people on Earth are neither. The dominance of the earth with people who are a light brown with a yellow or olive tint (the people of Asia, the Middle East and northern Africa) make the black and white problems of this country almost trivial. Such a fuss over so few? America and South Africa are the last bastions of white-black racism. A substance called melanin gives skin its color. Its most im- portant function is to ensure the upper levels of the skin will be protected from ultraviolet light, which can cause sunburn, rashes, infection, skin cancer and malig- nant melanoma (a dark tumor that is deadly). If everyone was cov- ered with thick hair, there would be no need for skin color. The more melanin, the darker the skin and the lower the risk of damage from the sun. The sun is not all bad, though. Sunlight is integral in the conver- sion of a fatty substance in the skin into vitamin D. The darker the skin the longer it takes. Vitamin D is a necessity and is found in very few foods. The intestines would not be effective in absorbing calcium without it. Misshaped birthcanals, which can be fatal for mother and child, osteomalacia and rickets can re- sult without the necessary calcium for the strengthening of bones. The oils and livers of marine fish are primary sources of vita- min D. Skin must be dark enough to protect the person who does not have access to the ocean from harm so he or she can endure the ultra- violet radiation of the sun long enough to produce vitamin D. Skin color is a trade-off. People with access to the ocean, in cold climates do not need to be dark skinned. The cold weather does not permit the exposure of their skin and they have vitamin D readily available. Blacks and whites may have shared a common ancestor as early as 10,000 years ago. We are all brothers and sisters. Believe it or not, all African- Americans can't dunk and dance. HPCIKNK affaiRPPf CM3MtC T T In fact, there have been docu- mented cases of white peopie who can almost touch the rim and move their feet to a rhythm. There are orientals who are tall and stupid. There are generous Jewish people Well "endowed" men of all ract3 exist (maybe more women should look into th's matter). Interracial couples tend to have beautiful children � no mat- ter how ugly the parents are. Is this coincidence? No. It is a hint from a higher being. There is great beauty in havmgachild with some- one of different ethnic origins. See people for who they are, not their skin color. "She looks good for a black girl or "He's phat for a white boy only magnify the dif- ferences the speaker sees between the races. A person is attractive � or they are not. Consciously excludingan en- tire race from a person's possible mates is racism. Black or white. If you will not lay-up with whitey or if you could fall in love with some- one � if only they were white, join the crowd of bigots that stain our nation. Interracial relationships should not draw, and do not de- serve, the amount of attention they receive. If an African-American dates a Caucasian woman, he is seen as just using her as a status symbol.

Exposure to the vast wasteland of television has created an image society rather than an information societv. Discussing Perot's bad haircut should be a waste of time � but image matters.

The media can- not and should not be, even though they are, responsible for telling the public who to vote for and what to believe. Take the time to sift through information the media presents and distinguish between fact and By Scott Maxwell Editorial Columnist According to the conventional wisdom, the Democratic and Re- publican bigwigs don't understand the nature of the threat posed by H. Ross Perot. Nor do they understand why he's so popular with the vot- ers. And it's all because they're out of touch with the American people. For once, the conventional wisdom is almost right. It's true that the part)' leaders don't understand Perot and his appeal, and it's true that their inability to understand Perot's appeal stems from a lack of understanding of the American people. But what is it about the Ameri- can people that the party leaders have failed to understand? Their desire for a government that actu- ally functions? Their frustration with political infighting that comes at the expense of the general welfare? No, give them credit: the old guard un- derstands all that just fine, though they haven't done much about it. Perot's appeal runs deeper than that. Voters are attracted to Perot becao � he is a mythic figure. Not thn he's a god or anything. But Perot unit two of the most power- r'l and ensuring American myths: �:e Hcratio Alger myth and the Re- luctant Sheriff myth. Hor.itio Alger was a nine- teenth-century American novelist who wrote practically the same novel about a zillion times. Such enthrall ing works as Rufus and Rose: or, The fortunes of rough and ready and Slow and sure: or, From the street to the shop typically traced a pitiable waif's .arduous path from rags to riches. If you work hard, save your money. respect authority, and keep quiet, eventually some Dickensian coinci- dence will dump a fortune in your Lp � or anvway, that's the myth. Perot seems like a Horatio Alger story come to life. He isn't, quite; among other things, his fam- ily was rather less poor than he has claimed. But facts rarely interfere with myths, and such is true in Perot's case: in America's mind, he embodies the American Dream. In anv event, he does fit the myth pretty closely. Perot had humble enough beginnings; he's the son of a cowboy-turned -cotton bro- ker, himself a self-made man. And it's well known that Perot parlayed a 51,000 loan from his wife into a S3.3 billion fortune. Whatever he may have lacked in rags, he has made up for in riches. Having made his fortune, Perot now stands ready to embody another deep-rooted American myth. As George Will pointed out in thejun. 1 i ssue of Newsweek, Perot is being looked to as The Outsider Who Will Come Into tr.c Corrupt Town and CleanThingsUp. "Maybe that is Perot's role WiII writes, "the Reluctant Sheriff who would rather ride into the sunset but first has to make the town safe for womenfolk and young'uns Perot plans to clean things up by "eliminating gridlock" (one of his favorite phrases), not by shoot- ing the bad guys. And if that ap- proach makes him more of a peace- maker than a fighter, well, so what? It doesn't matter to the myth, rhe Reluctant Sheriff myth demands a sheriff who takes charge and whips everybody else into line. That's just what Perot's supporters bel ieve he'll do. The Horatio Alger myth and the Reluctant Sheriff myth are part of our national consciousness; they are at the heart of many of the sto- ries we tell ourselves about our- By Robert S. Todd Fditorijl Columnist selves. Horatio Alger stories abound, and not just in Horatio Alger's books; similarly, Reluctant Sheriff stories are played out in Westerns from The Virginian to High Noon and all points in between. When such stories appear to cross over into the real world, they have an enormous psychological im- pact. I don't mean to suggest that all of Ross Perot's appeal is due to American popular mythology; much of it has to do with plain old politics. But his identification with the myths is one hell of a powerful asset. The problem with the Demo- cratic and Republican party leaders is not that they don't understand the American people. The problem is that they don't understand people, period. They don't understand the power of myth in the popular mind. The television cast shadows on both of us. Our silhouettes have stuck in my mind for a long time and only later did 1 realize what people would have said if they knew. Most people are disgusted with thiskind of relationship. "It's just not right . . . it's not natural � if God wanted it that way he would have . . people like to say. It didn't seem awkward to me. I had been in that position many times before. The feeling was very natural. Two consenting adults. It didn't hurt anybody and made, at least, two people very happy. What I do behind my door is mv business. People are human before thev are gay, lesbian, black, white, plaid, checkered or green. To say things are "unnatural" is depriv- ing people of their humanity.

Pigment does not determine social values, athleticism or the size of your Johnson�. Not many people actually know the reason behind skin color. God did not "color" us. People with pale, milky col- ored skin and the black skins of central Africa are unique adapta- tions to the environment. Most people on Earth are neither. The dominance of the earth with people who are a light brown with a yellow or olive tint (the people of Asia, the Middle East and northern Africa) make the black and white problems of this country almost trivial. Such a fuss over so few? America and South Africa are the last bastions of white-black racism. A substance called melanin gives skin its color. Its most im- portant function is to ensure the upper levels of the skin will be protected from ultraviolet light, which can cause sunburn, rashes infection, skin cancer and malig- nant melanoma (a dark tumor that is deadly). If everyone was cov- ered with thick hair, thert would be no need for skm color. The more melanin, thedarker the skin and the lower the risk of damage from th� sun. The sun is not all bad, though. Sunlight is integral in the conver- sion of a fatty substance in the skm into vitamin D. The darker the skin the longer it takes. Vitamin D is a necessity and is found in very few foods. The intestines would not be effective in absorbing calcium without it. Misshaped birth canals, which can be fatal for mother and child, osteomalacia and rickets can re- sult without the necessary calcium for the strengthening oi bones. The oils and livers of marine fish are primary sources of vita- min D. Skin must be dark enough to protect the person who does not have access to the ocean from harm so he or she can endure the ultra- violet radiation of the sun long enough to produce vitamin D Skin color is a trade-off. People with access to the ocean, in cold climates do not need to be dark skinned. The cold weather does not permit the exposure of their skin and they have vitamin D readily available. Blacks and whites may have shared a common ancestor as early as 10,000 years ago. We are all brothers and sisters. Believe it or not, all African- Americans can't dunk and dance.

The East Carolinian: Read it or Recycle it. s. r Tar and Away7 drivels profusely on audience By Ike Shibley Staff Writer In Anrtw Hall, a movie patron stands in line pontificating about director Federico Fellini. He claims that the Fellim's latest film "lacked a cohesive structure" and that he finds him "incred- ibly indulgent" Such is the case with Ron Howard as exemplified by his latest film. Far and Away. Howard's indulgences have rarely been more evident than in Far and Away, the story of a ptxir Irish man and an aristocratic Irish woman struggling to fulfill their dream of owning land. Subtle will never be used to describe a Ron Howard film. Perhaps Howard spent too much time in Mayberry as a youth. Far and Azitiy tells the woeful but inspinng (at least in Howard's rrund taJe of Joseph rXinelly(TomCruise)and Shan- non Christie (Nicole Kidman). Donellv watches his father's house burn to the ground and vows vengeance on the wealthy landlord who owned the earth the Dorvelly's worked. While trying to shoot Mr. Christie (Robert Prosky), Donelly's gun explodes in his face This injury, combined with the pitchfork wound in his leg which he suffered by surprising Shannon, forces him to re- main in the Christie's home temporarily. Shannon want to escape to America where she can own land and breed horses. These dreams assist her decision to help Joseph escape from Ireland. Eventually the two arrive in Boston where more struggles await them. Donelly and Christie work plucking chickens tor a time but Donelly finds much more money in the world of bare knuckle boxing. As soon as his rise be- gins, his fall becomes evident due to the telegraphed punches of the movie. Because of losing a bigflght, Donelly is forced to leave Boston. He heads West where heagain meets Christie. Thev both participate in the Oklahoma land rush of 1893. Howard's directorial career began auspiciously with a charming comedy called Night Shift. Howard was also at the helm for Splash and COCOOH, both moder- ately successful and entertaining pictures. Then the slide began. IVSItW proved mexjerately entertain- ing but unfulfilling as a motion picture. Two films followed that lacked common and artistic sense: Parenthood and Baikiiraft. Both films proved that Howard lives in his own private Utopia where a setback only serves tnaccentua tea happy ending a world where a rainbow waits behind every cloud. Reality became unglued in these films. Howard wanted these films to be soovertlv powerful that he became con- fused by his our. go. d intentions. In- stead of a W( irk i t art, the films plaved as commercials tor parents and firemen, respectively. FarandAuw provides thesamecom- mercialism for Irish immigrants. This film tries so forcefully to elevate these cha rac ters tha t the ped es ta I bee c mes v is- ible. Instead oftooteng up to these char- acters, we laugh at them b�ause their inflated importance is evident Howard's entire mentality is cin- ematic. Every scene must havea rousing finish, every character must be sharply drawn to the point of caricature, the story must be told in bold strokes. Subtle will never be used to describe a Ron Howard film. Terhaps Howard spent txx much time in Mayberry as a youth. Never once does an interesting nu- ance appear in the characters in Far and Away. The characters, as well as the ac- tors portraying them, remain stiff throughout the entire length of this film. And what a length Far and Away is. Ihe film runs almost two and a half hours Howard ems to get more long- winded as heages. So much i f this movie shouki have been left on the cutting room floor. Ihe story ot Shannon's par- ents is interesting but it detracts from the main stop of loseph and Shannon. The Inshman who wants to marrv Shannon ("Thomas Gibson) is a boorish caricature whose villainy does not advance the plot. He has no place in the film. These changes would have shortened the film but they would not have improved it. Inherent flaws cannot be edited away. Cruise, for instance, has acted only once in his career � in Born en the Fourth of fuiy. In every other film he simplv exuded cckincs tor thecamera. In Fararul Away his cockiness does little for him. loseph Donellv is tin because Cruise is flat (Tom) Cruise, for instance, has acted only once in his career� in Born on tlie Fourth of July. In every other film, he simply exuded cockiness for the camera. The simple-minded script provides very little character development and littleonginalirv. Most scenes remind cne of better scenes from better films. A film must remain true to its self- imposed boundaries of reality. Far and Auiy wants to be a realistic film vet sptxn feeds the audience this melodra- matic dnvel.

However, the group seems more like a bunch of bored middle- class kids with a band and a recording contract. Maybe next time, they'll find the right music and direction to express their anger Motorpsycho releases anger By Mark Brett Staff Writer One gixxi thing can be said about L.A. crunch band Motorpsycho: they're better than Poison. Of course, since listening to elevator music is a more edifying experi- ence than listening to Poison, that's not saying much. Allying themselves with such punk icons as the Ramones and the Misfits and claiming to have a raw, street-wise sensi- bility Motorpsycho recently coughed up Wrenched, their major label debut. Rather than blazing new three-chord rock trails like their idols,however Motorpsycho takes a different route. They trot out a collection of tired heavy metal licks that were on their last diseased legs when Metallica cut Kill 'Em All. Starting off Wrenched is "Scarred for Life an adventure in vagueness. The lyr- ics point to sime dissatisfaction with soci- ety and an untiefined goal to resolve the difficulty. The piece plods along atop a wheezing metal standard, complete with a chorus of barbarian wanna-be backing vocals for over five minutes. Reading be- tween the lines a bit, the song may be about suicide. It may also be aboutbestiality; who can tell? "Scarred for Life" basically sounds like the whining of a bunch of bored and nearly articulate middle-class teens. The fun continues with "No Hope a cheery little number with an opening line that, if it were better written, would be a really innic commentary on understand- ingworld affairs. "Six cups of coffee singer Larry Hernandez groans, "pumpin' through my veinsI wipe the sleep from my eyes but the world itstjil seems strange An attempt to see the world as its rulers do, though a legal drug-induced haze? More likely, a fortunate accident of words. From there, the song disintegrates into some meandering talk about various media-dic- tated "issues" and becomes uninteresting. From the popular concerns and mel- ancholy of "No Hope the boys swing into their favorite topic, how pissed off they are about everything. "Hatebox" is a veritable orgy of negativity, an expression of orches- trated, unreasoning unpleasantness that spins around itself at Mach Five. It col- lapses into disorganized rubble, reveling in its own wretchedness to the bitter end. Don't think the song is effective, though; it's just as boring as the rest of the album. Finally, Motorpsycho hits very near the rock bottom of stupidity with "Thun- derhead Half anarchistic statement of purpose, half dippy introduction of the band'sofficial mascot (a guy with a cracked skull-head, gears for brains and a propen- sity for drinking motor oil), "Thunder- head" is just plain bad. There are Hell's Angel dream lines like "Ride like the devil just to race with the wind There's a truly embarrassing evil laugh thrown in for ef- fect (the effect it gets is laughter). There's even a lot of moronic riffing going on, to make this the perfect generic bad heavy metal song. Give the boys a hand, folks. Overall, Motorpsycho seems to be a bunch of bored middle-class kids with a band and a recording contract. They're too intelligent to buy into a whitebread society that lost its validity when "Leave It to Beaver" went off the air and too stupid to really articulate their anger. Even though Wrenched is bad (and ifs incredibly bad), it's hard to hate them. Everybody knows them; some probably were them. Rock and roll has always been the medium for the expression of stupid, undirected rage. It's one of the things that makes it great. If any of the anger had a real feeling of conviction behind it, this album might at least have some validity. How- ever, it sounds as if Motorpsycho needs to convince themselves of their righteous- ness before they start singing about it to someone else.

DISCOVER FOSDICK'S 109O SEAFOOD Tar and Away7 drivels profusely on audience By Ike Shibley Staff Writer In Annie Hall, a movie patron stands in line pontificating about director Federico Fellini. He claims that the Fellini's latest film "lacked a cohesive structure" and that he finds him "incred- ibly indulgent" Such is the case with Ron Howard as exemplified by his latest film. Far and Away. Howard's indulgences have rarely been more evident than in Far and Away, the story of a poor Irish man and an aristocratic Irish woman struggling to fulfill their dream of owning land. Subtle will never be used to describe a Ron Howard film. Perhaps Howard spent too much time in Mayberry as a youth. Far and Away tells the woeful but inspiring(atleastinHowar3'srrandtaie . of Joseph Donelly(TomCruise)and Shan- non Christie (Nicole Kidman). Donelly watches his father's house bum to the ground and vows vengeance on the wealthy landlord who owned the earth the Donelbs worked. While trying to shoot Mr. Christie (Robert Prosky), Donelly's gun explodes in his face. This injury, combined with the pitchfork wound in his leg which he suffered by surprising Shannon, forces him to re- main in the Christie's home temporarily. Shannon wants to escape to America where she can own land and breed horses. These dreams assist her decision to help Joseph escape from Ireland. Eventually the two arrive in Boston where more struggles await them. Donelly and Christie work plucking chickens for a time but Donelly finds much more money in the world of bare knuckle boxing. As soon as his rise be- gins, his fall becomes evident due to the telegraphed punches of the movie. Because of losing a big fight, Donelly is forced to leave Boston. He heads West where he again meets Christie. They both participate in the Oklahoma land rush of 1893. Howard's directorial career began auspiciously with a charming comedy cal led Night Shift. Howard was also a t the helm for Splash and Cocoon, both moder- ately successful and entertaining pictures. Then the slide began. VVtfou; proved moderately entertain- ing but unfulfilling as a morion picture. Two films followed that lacked common and artistic sense: Parenthood and Backdraft. Both films proved that Howard lives in his own private Utopia where a setback only serves to accentuatea happy ending, a world where a rainbow waits When lifter learning soars behind every cloud. Reality became unglued in these films. Howard wanted these films to be so overtly powerful tha t he became con- fused by his own good intentions. In- stead of a work of art, the films played as commercials for parents and firemen, respectively. Far and A way provides the same com- mercial ism for Irish immigrants. This film tries so forcefully to elevate these characters that the pedestal becomes vis- ible. Instead of looking up to these char- acters, we laugh at them because their inflated importance is evident. Howard's entire mentality is cin- ematic. Every scene must have a rousing finish, every character must be sharply drawn to the point of caricature, the story must be told in bold strokes. Subtle will never be used to describe a Ron Howard film. Perhaps Howard spent too much time in Mayberry as a youth. Never once does an interesting nu- ance appear in the characters in Far and Away. The characters, as well as the ac- tors portraying them, remain stiff throughout the entire length of this film. And what a length Far and Away is. . The film runs almost two and a half hours. Howard seems to get more long- winded as heages. So much of this movie should have been left on the cutting room floor. The story of Shannon's par- ents is interestingbut it detracts from the main story of Joseph and Shannon. The Irishman who wants to many Shannon (Thomas Gibson) is a boorish caricature whose villainy does not advance the plot. He has no place in the film. These changes would have shortened the film but they would not have improved it. Inherent flaws cannot be edited away. Cruise, for instance, has acted only once in his career � in Born on the Fourth of uly. In every other film he simply exuded cockiness for the camera. In Far and Away his cockiness does little for him. Joseph Donelly is flat because Cruise is flat (Tom) Cruise, for instance, has acted only once in his career�in Bom on theFourth of July. In every other film, he simply exuded cockiness for the camera. The simple-minded script provides very little character development and little originality. Most scenes remind one of better scenes from better films. A film must remain true to its self- imposed boundaries of reality. Far and Aroay wants to be a realistic film yet spoon feeds the audience this melodra- matic drivel. On a scaleof one to ten. Far and Away rates a four.
