General As- sembly, increasing full-time tuition for in-state community college students from$lM per quarter to185.50 per quarter. The tuition increase, the fourth consecutive and the seventh in ID years for com- munity colleges, raised credit- hour costs from11.50 per hour to (13.25 per hour. " I he tuition increase will effect some people, how manv people we .io not know and will not ever know said Dr. Charles Russell, president of Pitt Community College. "A number of people may never come because of money Those people mav have come if scholarships were avail- able At the same time, the board was forced to decrease the number of state-funded scholarships from 50 to 503 because of low interest rates and increased tuition. In the past, the State Board authorized 950 scholar- ships at $3n0 per year said Mate Board C hairman William Simpson. "But, with interest rates down and tuition rates up. we had to decrease the number of scholarships or decrease the amount of each one. We chose to offer fewer scholarships � 503 scholarships at $556.50 eaih but keep the amount high enough for full tuition According to Bob Scott, community college system president, out-of-state tuition will remain at $1,505 per quar- ter for full-time students and $107.50 per credit hour; fees ? Congress expands financial aid to college students, but there may not be enough money in the budget to meet current funding levels. Fila Photo Students paying tuition at Pitt Community College will have to cough up a little more this fall as tuition increases to $185 50 per quarter for occupational extension courses will increase from $30 per course to $35 per course "Needless to sav, no one was happv with the choices they had to make, Scott said "Both decisions have a negative impact on our stu- dents Simpson said the General Assembly had some hard bud- get decisions to make. "They had to find a way to fund our increasing enroll- ments which were up more than 6 percent over the previ- ous year Simpson said. "Unfortunately, that meant another tuition increase. I'm sorrv the burden is falling on our students. After all, they are the ones our community colleges were created to serve Simpson said he is alsocon- cerned that the decrease in state svholarship funds will add to the burden. However, he said the 38 colleges in the C. Com- munitv College System have strong UKal scholarship pro- grams and students who need help can still get it. WASHINGTON (CPS)� After two years of debate, Con- gress has approved a massive bill to expand student financial aid and other higher education programsdespite warnings that the nation's budget woes could undermine many of its key ob- jectives. "It's a bittersweet victory for students said Selena Dong, legislative director for the United States Student Associa- tion. While the bill permits a major expansion of Pell Grants, for example, congress may have trouble just maintaining current funding levels, she said. The Higher Education Act reauthorization bill would raise the maximum Pell Grant from $2,400 to $3,100 next yeac and permit more aid to middle-in- come and part-time students. But Congress still must appro- priate Tell funds based on pro- jected revenue and budget tar- i'ets Already, Done said, mem- bers are talking about a cut from $2,400 � not an increase � to meet 1593 budget targets. White the HEA bil. contains manv laudable goals, "we may be talking about pie in the sky" when it comes to financial aid, Dong said. She also chided con- gress for defeating a plan to make Pel! Grants an entitle- ment. "Many poor students won't be helped by this bill she added. President Bush was ex- pected to sign the HEA bill in late July. Overall, one measure allows for nKxlest growth in manv stu- dent aid programs�again, bar- ring budget constraints -and re- flects considerablecompromise between separate House and Senate bills debated during the past two vears. The bill recommends mod- erate growth for Pell Grants through 1997, when the maxi- mum grant could reach as high as $3,700. Middle-income students with family income up to $42,000 ayearcould receive aid, and the government also would remove home or family equity as a fac- tor in eligibility. For student loans, the bill increases maximum Stafford loan amounts from $2,625 to $3,fW for second-yea r students, $4,1X10 to $5,006 for third- and fourth-vear students and $7,500 to $8,500 for graduate students. The HEA bill also contains a controversial direct loan pro- posal in which schools would begin to replace banks in the loan process. Up to $500 million will be available for the first vear of a five-year experiment Capitol Hill aides say as manv as 400 schools could par- ticipate in the direct loan ex- periment. Sponsors of the direct loan concept say it will save money bv eliminating the subsidies paid to banks as well as the banks' own administrative costs in handling the loans. But the White House balked at the idea See Financial, page 2 Grads find job market tough By Tony Rodgers Staff Writer Photo by Bift Rinioin � 77i� Eaat Carolinian Stealth bomber Area residents celebrated the 50th anniversary of Cherry Point Marine Base on Sunday An air show and other exhibits like the stealth bomber were a hit with the crowd College graduates are en- tering a job market unable to accomrrKxjate them for the sec- ond consecutive year. According to Employment Security Commission Chairman Ann Q. Duncan, the 0.8 percent increase in the state unemploy- ment rate from Mav to June re- sulted from the influx of college graduates. "A lot of young folks get- ting out of schxil are finding it tough to get that first job Duncan said. "The job opportu- nities that are normally avail- able this time of year justhaven't been there The North Carolina unem- ployment rate increased from 5.7 percent to 65 percent from Mav to June. Don Carrington, deputy director of labor marketing's information divi- sion, also attributed the increase to college graduates. "Normally, there is an in- crease in jobs to accommodate graduates Carrington said. "In this particular year, job seekers increased but job openings didn't Carrington said theextended slump in the job market puts ad- ditional stress on students. "Many graduates put off en- tering the job market last year by- going to graduate school he said. "Most can't afford to do that two years in a row James Westmoreland, direc- tor of ECU's Career Services, said an important part of his job is "keeping students from getting discouraged Westmoreland said students graduating in May of 1993 should register with Career Services by Sept. 1. Students graduating in December should open a fi le as soon as possible. "We keep a file on hand with 10 copies of a students' resume, three registration cards and a list of faculty and job references he said. "We offer resume and interview work- shops and make referrals to possible employers for stu- dents Westmoreland said the in- crease in unemployed college graduates is not a new trend.

Without planning a proper diet, vegetar- ians mav have trouble getting ad- equatenourishment,and students who eat at campus dining halls may not be able to get enough options in their daily menus. "Many people don't realize how difficult it is to be a vegetar- ian, "said Jeanne Freeland -Graves, a professor of home economics. Cutting out red meat is not only requirement An informal survey at the Uni- versity of Texas' four dining halls indicated that between 10 percent and 15 percent of students don't eat red meat or chicken. Melvyn Stiriss, who teaches an informal class on vegetarian- ism, said new vegetarians needs to be especially careful because there are many things that they should know before they stop eat- ing meat. "Some people feel like they can just quit eating meat and eat what's left. Itdoesn'texactly work like that Stiriss said. Even if they know what they should eat, students can have a hard timepursumgvegetarian life- styles if they eat at university fa- I cilities that can't provide the foods they need. Harley Fisk, chef of the Divi- sion of Housing and Food, said the university's dining halls pro- videalternative vegetarian entrees in slightly more than two-thirds of all the meals they serve. But he also said that variety in vegetarian menus was limited be- t cause many dining-facility patrons do not like non-meat dishes. Because there are varying de- grees of vegetarians � ranging from lacto-ovo vegetarians, who eat eggs, dairy products and plant foods, to vegans, who eat only plant foods,�those in the stricter categories may find their choices narrowed. "We provide a large number of items mat vegetarians can eat, depending on the typof vegetar- ian you're trying to reach Fisk said. "Vegans are among those more difficult to be satisfied. We have options, but they're not as varied. "It's difficult to feed any very small group of people he added. "You have to understand, if I put out a pan of stir-fried tofu and it sat untouched for about two hours, you can imagine what it would look like 2 �be East (Carolinian July 22, 1992 Financial Continued from page 1 Unemployment Continued from page 1 and threatened to veto the entire bill, which prompted lonress to scale b.n k the experiment.

Opinion Page 4, July 22, 1992 Removing ordinance good idea Controversy erupted last week at the local town council meeting when propo- nents of a new downtown bar went to battle against an old city ordinance. An unnamed business owner decided he wanted to start a new nightclub in the downtown section of town; however, a city ordi- nance prohibits the place- ment of any new bars within five-hundred feet of any current drinking establishments. The question is: Why? No city council has the right to pro- hibit any tvpe of establishments as long The council acted correctly in voting to eliminate the troublesome 500- feet requirement. Such an ordinance also adds to the problem of drunk driving. If bars are prohibited from opening downtown, more will open away from downtown. Most likely those new bars will be out- side of walking distance of most ECU students. Thus, more students will likely drive while intoxicated. Obviously the ordi- nance is both unfair and dangerous. The council acted correctly in voting to eliminate the troublesome 500-feet requirement. Because of the absence of an at-large representative, the issue must be re-voted The instant Ross Perot dropped out of the presidential race, everyone wanted to know whether his former supporters would vote for Bill Clinton, George Bush, or neither. Those of you who, like me, find neither of those alternatives appeal- ing ought to know that you still have a third choice. Actually, you have lots of "third" choices, among them come- dian Pat Paulson and his running mate, Tiny Tim But a more serious alternative is the Libertarian Party, whose presidential Candida te is Andre Marrou Marrou's running mate is named Nancy Lord. Let me note up front that I don t endorse the Libertarians There are lots of things about them I don't like But there are also lots of things about them that make them worth consider- ing as a third choice As a sort of public service, because I believe the media shamefully ignore third par- ties in general, F offer the following introduction to the Libertarians One of the first things you no- tice about Libertarian beliefs is how mainstream most of them are (Ignore George Will, who recently did a clumsy job of painting Andre Marrou as a latter-day LeninThe Libertar- lans'guiding principle is a simple one, drawn directly from documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution: government should keep the hell out of your life, period Libertarians believe that gov- ernment has exactly two purposes: to protect our rights and to protect against invasion That's it (And, for what it's worth, that w precisely the kind of government the oft-invoked Founding Fathers had in mind ) Consequently, Libertarians be- lieve in small government And un- like certain presidents I could men- tion, they really mean it Libertarians visualize government as a provider of services, and, in theiropinion, private industries could provide most of those services for less money Typically, only people who actua lly used the services would pay for them Libertarians would eliminate the personal income tax (Don't scoff. I've looked at the numbers It can be done.) Libertarians favor the right to choose abortion, but they oppose tax- payer funding of abortions Libertarians would cease all overseas military expenditures, sav- ing (by their estimates) $150 billion per year � about half of the present military budget Libertarians would end the government's huge subsidies of busi- nesses such as farms and railroads, in their opinion, a business that can't make it without government help, shouldn't make it Libertarians would end govern- ment-funded welfare Private chan- ties are expected to fill in Libertarians believe strongly in the free market However, they op- pose monopolies � including gov- ernment monopolies such as the Post Office � and polluting, which they consider, in a broad sense, an infringe- ment on others' rights Libertarians oppose gun con- trol Someoppose waiting periods and other such measures and some don't, however, all support the right of an individual to own a firearm. Libertarians oppose the war on drugs, since, in their view, no c?ne has a right to control what substances an- other person may ingest They're also concerned that the ug war is turn- ing America into a police state Libertarians seek to end gov- ernment licensing of most professions, including doctors and day care pro- viders Licensing is one of the services Libertarians think should be privatized let private rating serices like Consumer Reports duke it out, they say Libertarians would end govern- ment-subsidized housing and would sharply curtail housing regulations. In fact, Libertanans would end most regulations, not just in the hous- ing industry They see regulation as a counterproductive government intru- sion into the market Fraud is another matter Libertarians decry regulation, but they don't believe that that gives businesses the freedom to lie to con- sumers about what they're getting While I don't endorse the Liber- tarian Parry, I can't help thinking that they'd do our government a lot of good For Libertarians, small govern- ment and low taxes are matters of principle, not political expediency In a year when principle seems singu- larly lacking, even by America's al- ready low standards, that's a big plus for them 1 wouldn't want to see Libertar- ians running things 1 have funda- mental disagreements with them But a strong Libertarian presence in the government � let us say a quarter to a third of Congress, and perhaps an occasional Libertarian president � would help keep the DerruHrrats and Republicans honest, it nothing else Keep Libertarian candidate Andre Marrou in mind when you head to the ballot box this November Er. you are registered, aren't you1) As Eugene Debs said, "It is better to vote for something you want and lose than to vote tor something you don't want and win " A View From Above Look at facts concerning AIDS as they are legal under the law.

Letters To The Editor Animal activist clears up issue To the Editor: As I long time animal rights activist, 1 take strong issue with re- cent articles by T. Scott Batchelor and Tracy Roberts. The two express disdain for animal rights philoso- phy, yet clearly do not understand that which they criticize. Let me clear up a few points. While no one can speak for all animal rights activists, 1 believe I do speak for the mainstream. We do not, by any means, place baboons above humans, or even equal. We do believe that the feel- ings of non-human animals count, and that animal suffering shouldn't be ignored. The philosophy that "animais are ours to use" is, we argue, the product of human arro- gance. The protests over the baboon- to-human liver transplant are fu- eled by fear that it may lead to large- scale imprisonment of primates in "spare part" farms, something that stinks of Auschwitz. That is the is- sue. Batchelor's and Roberts' pre- sentation of the issue as being one human versus one baboon shows they haven't gathered much infor- mation before running their pens. Of course one human matters more that one baboon. It is the pre- cedent that the protestors find de- plorable. I also must comment on Rob- erts' charge of hypocrisy over some "activists" enjoying a pig picking. I agree that there can be no rational discrimination between "food" and "non-food" animals. That is why the more commit- ted activists, such as I , adopt veg- etarianism and discontinue buying leather products. However, most omnivorous humans have cut-off points on the evolutionary scale and do not eat animals who are consid- ered "higher It is not hypocritical for these people to protest an event that could open the flood gates to a new cat- egory of animal exploitation � one involving primates and imprison- ment. Animal rights philosophy,de- spite a lot of hard work by activists, is still poorly understood. Unfortunately, media cover- age of animal rights activities shows footage or pictures of protestors and listsgrievancesbut seldom explains. Thus Batchelor and Roberts are not totally to blame for their ignorance (most blatantly exposed by their statements that the philoso- phy puts non-humans before hu- mans). However, as a journalist, Batchelor ought to consider it a re- sponsibility to gather information before editorializing. Craig Spitz Senior Psychology Former President, ECU Stu- dents for the Ethical Treatment of Animals By T.Scott Batchelor Editorial Columnist It would seem almost impossible to watch television,read a newspaper or magazine, visit a physician's office, or wal k across campus without encounter- ing matenals concerning AIDS There are pamphlets, booklets, news stones, posters, public service announcements � you name it � counseling the public cm the nature of this disease. Yet nation- wide the infection rate continues to ns This is perplexing Imagine for a moment that you have just been through your annual medical physical Your doctor sits you down in his office and tells you that at your age, with the foods you consume and the limited level of physical activity in which you engage, you are a pome candidate for heart disease. Or worse, your doctor miorms you that some block- age of your arteries has already set in, and that your cholesterol level is ex- tremely elevated With this information you now have a personal choice You can either begin a healthier diet and start exercis- ing regularly to decrease the probability of developing heart disease, or continue your unhealthy life-style and take your chances Which would you do? Logi- cally, you would take the risk-reducing course of action. Now back to AIDS As you may be aware, the eighth International Con- ference tin AIDS opened Sunday in Amsterdam, Netherlands The Raleigh Sews and Obsenrr reported Mond ay that there were "conflicting visions" at the conference of how to stop the spread of the disease Conflicting visions7 Incredible' The answer to this question is simple: the rate of transmission of the virus could be decimated by refraining from or modifying those behaviors which p ut individuals at high risk. What are some of these behaviors and nsk gn ups? Let's look at some of the statistics According to data compiled at the end of 1989, 60 percent of AIDS victims were homosexual, 21 percent were intravenous drug users, 7 percent were homosexual or bisexuals who use intravenous drugs, and 5 percent of the cases were contracted through hetero- sexual con tact. Th us, a pproxima te ly 93 of AIDS cases are related to behavior, either engaging in unprotected sex or using infected hypodermic needles The remaining 7 percent of the cases ac- count for blood transfusions, infants bom to infected mothers, hemophiliac and "other In other words, AIDS is largely (but not completely) a disease of life- style. For example, it is estimated that over 50 percent of homosexuals in San Francisco have AIDS or havetested posi- tive for HTV. This is by no means an indictment of the gay and lesbian com- munity as a whole. Yet it does point to an inordinate and tragically unnecessary amount of irresponsibility inextricable linked to sexual behavior And ief s face it, having unprotected sex, especially promiscuous unprotected sex, is like gambling with your life Many people who read this col- umn will agree with me and then say, referring to these victims of AIDS, "they deserve it. they got what they asked tor " Wrong Absolutely no one "de- serves" to contract the disease That many at tnose infected with the virus willingly and knowingly exposed them- selves to harm should not in the least diminish the sympathy and compas- sion we feel for them Why, then, do I make the distinction7 The answer is simple Prevention. Oftentimes the educational ma- terials on AIDS I mentioned earlier dis- seminate conflicting or diluted messages. This is because our arduous efforts are mollified by the new strictures of politi- cal correctness, or by the tear of being labeled homophobic or insensitive to this group or that Ads tell us that any- one can get AIDS. This is true. But real- isbcaUy speaking, if you are a sexually active gay, an intravenous drug user with little or no access to clean needles, or a heterosexual having unprotected sex with multiple partners, then you have an overwhelmingly greater chance of contracting AIDS than if you refrained from or altered these behaviors Therefore, until a cure for AIDS is found, (and even after), we would do well to follow Benjamin Franklin's wise admonition thatan ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure Lef s take off the kid gloves, tell the truth, and save some lives Campus Spectrum Pro-life students speak against abortion issue, ruling Kevin Brown Campus Spectrum I was disturbed by a recent edi- torial that responded to the recent Supreme Court decision giving states the right to place restrictions on abor- tion I happened to be very opposed to abortion and I disagree with a lot of things mentioned in the article. Abor- tion kills an unborn child, but we have cheapened and devalued life to the point where individual tights mean more than anything, even life. Abortion is so easily justified in our society, because of our attitudes towards the unborn. As the article stated, we don't see unborn children as human life, but as "parasites" or " blobs of tissue We devalue and cheapen life just by the words we use, whkh is nothing new In Nazi Gat- many, Hitler spread all kinds of pro- paganda to get the people to see the jews as "subhuman" or as "rats to be exterminated In slave times, Mack �laves weren't seen as human beings, but as property. The point is that it doesn't bother us to get rid of rats, property or para sites. Therefore when we begin to see human life in mis way, it makes it easy to justify their elimination The article devalues life again by trying to equate an unborn child with an appendix. The fetus has no more right to live than my appendix Again, when we start to see an unborn baby as nothing more than an organ of our body, its easy to justify abor- tion. There's nothing wrong with having an appendix removed, so what's wrong w ith removing a fetus? Also, if it's ail right to kill an unborn fetus because it is "totally and un- questionably dependent on ita mother then why not kill infanta or new boms? Aren't they totally and un- questionably dependent on their mother? All of us wan fetuses at on time, product of sperm and egg. None of us came from storks Until we leam that there a re better ways to deal with unwanted pregnancies, ways benefi- cial to mother and child, we will con- tinue to destroy ouraetvea. Kevin Brown kutudmUn ECU'$ of tht artt. Billy L. Biggs Campua Spectrum Congratulations to Heather Lockey for her wonderful editorial on the Supreme Court's decision on abor- tion and to TV East Carolinian for sur- prisingly giving space to the "politi- cally incorrect" like myself. But in or- der to really have an in depth debate on abortion, we need to look at the dark history (what Tht American Spec- tator called "A White Lie") of the world's largest supplier of abortions, Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood was founded in 1923 by Margaret Sanger, a woman who to this day la a hero to the pro-choke (or anti-life) crowd. In her book. Pit of Cnnlixatian she de- scribes theobjeetiveof birth control as being "Morechikiren from the fit, less from the unfit According to her, the unfit were "all non-Aryan people " The tinge of Nazism in her ideas should not be surprising. An article on eugenics in the April 1933 issue of her magazine Birth Centre Masts was written by Ernest Rudin, Hitler's director of genetic itsrllliaHnn and founder of the Nazi Society for Racial Hygiene. While the abortion righ ts people claim to be protecting "poor blacks very few blacks attend their rallies. Also, a 1988poll by the National Opin- ion Research Center showed that 62 percent of blacks believe abortion should be illegal in all circumstances. Seeing that almost half of pregnancies by black women end in abortion, it hardly seems a matter of "choice Even a liberal like Jesse Jackson realized the racism of ebortion In 1977, he referred to abortion as "genocide against the black race It was not until 1984, when Jackson wanted to enter the liberal elite of the Demo- cratic Party, mat he adopted a pro- choke attitude. I am sure Margaret Sanger would be proud to know that 70 per- cent of Planned Parenthood dinks ant operated in Black and Hispank neighborhoods.

Entertainment Editor You see (at the very least) one every Halloween, countless mov- ies have been made about them and too many myths and superstitions to count have been laid at their feet. Who are these mystical and fantastical beings? Vampires, Walpurgisnacht,Vad the I mpaler, creatures of the undead � call them what you will, their timeless ability to raise the hairs on the back of our necks remains as strong today as it was when Bram Stoker wrote his modem horror clas- sic, Dmcula. The East Camlina Playhouse continues this time-honored tradi- tion with their last installment in the 1992 Summer Theatre season, William Kelly's "Dracula In 1927,Stoker's novel wasdra- matized in the Lyceum Theater in London. Following this new twist in the history of vampires, "Dracula" enjoyed huge success on Broadway in 1973, starring Frank Langella as Dracula. The play has gone on to simultaneously terrorize and delight audiences around the country. John Shearin, director of "Dracula" and who has adapted the original script for this run, has once again brought var- ied and admi- rable talent to this produc- tion. Justin Deas will play the se- ductive, yet horrible Dracula. Deas has worked on stage and in television, most notably for his work in the classics and winningthree Daytime Emmys for his soap opera work. Veteran Summer Theatre actor Tom Spivey will make a drastic switch from his Southern gentleman in "Kiss Me, Kate" to play the fly- eating lunatic Renfield. Also, Donn Youngstrom will move from "Kiss Me, Kate" honors to plav the stake- wielding vampire hunter Van Helsing. "Dracula" runs from July 22 to August 1, with matinee performances on July 25 and 29 with no shows on Sun- days. Perfor- mances start at 8:15 p.m. every night, with the matinee shows starting at 2:15 p.m .Ticket prices for "Dracula" are $17.50 for adults, $13.50 for senior citi- zens and $7.50 forchildren un- der the age of 12. A special ECU student price is being offered � $750, with a valid I.D if the ticket is bought fifteen minutes before that night's performance only. Tickets bought for ther nights are subject to the adult price. "Dracula" promises to be the perfect capper on an honorable Summer Theatre season. So bring vour stakes and cloves oi garlic, and prepareyourselfforachilling night. Pholo by Bl� Ransom � 7h� Eamt Liroiiman I'm Crashing and I Can't Pull Up!

Nick Faldo was sobbing uncon- trollably. We want heroes with spines and nerves fcrgil from steel, but with hearts that break easily enough so the rest of us recognize in them some part of ourselves. No one ever doubted Nick Faldo's mettle. But until he stood on Muirfield's LSth green Sunday with tears streaming down his ruddy cheeks, Faldo seemed onlv slightly more human than the Tin Man from the "Wizard of Oz Before he got his heart. "1 don't really know what it means right now, to be honest Faldo said, his voice still quiver- ing a half-hour after a roller- coaster round of 73 ended with his third British Open championship. " I just think the horrible pres- sure of it, you know, having a four-shot lead, and if it had all ended up wrong, I've lost he paused, "and what the hell would that have meant to me f" Plentv. as it turns out. It has already taken much longer than it should have for Faldo to be uni- versallv acclaimed as what he is � by far the greatest plaver in championship golf on the planet right now. Even before he carved two birdies out oi the unyielding turf Of Muirfield over the final four holes to win Sunday, Faldo's record and the way he compiled it certainly spoke for itself: A first British Open title in 187 in the wet and wind of an even-more treacherous final day at Muirfield; a second, in a run- away, at surprisingly docile St. Andrews, in 1990; back-to-back Masters wins, both after playoffs, in 1989 and 1990. But the more Faldo won, the more the character of those wins seemed to tarnish his brilliance. His first Open title came as he sat in the scorer's hut after 18 straight pars and watched on a TV as Paul Azinger self-destructed behind him. What most people remembered about his two Mas- ters wins was the Scott Hixh-as- m-choke debacle in NHM and how Raymond Floyd bogeved the 17th the following year. Those same people conveniently forgot that Faldo shot 65 on the final dav at Augusta to force Hcxrh into the playoff and that he birdied three of the final ix in 19) to make Floyd do the folding-chair rou- tine. Here, though, Nick Faldo let the rest of the world in. Here, over the course of four courageous rounds, he revealed himself to be made of the sternest stuff, but also funny and imprecise and, most important perhaps, vulnerable. No evebrows were raised when Faldo followed up an open- ing-round 66 with a 64 on Friday 10 reach the 36-hole juncture with the lowest score ever recorded in the 121 British Opens. Or when he widened his lead over the field to four strokes with a very work- manlike M on Saturday. But the manner in which Faldo arrived at the 18th Sundav, and then walked off it in tears, should prompt everyone to take another Icxik. He was frightened and then brave at different turns as the lead dwindled and then disappeared. And he was drained, finally, at the last hole of every emotion but re- lief.

IOC,UN review volatile situation Yugoslavian athletes may compete BARCELONA, Spain (AP) � The IOC Executive Board told the United Nations on Sunday that it prefers to allow Yugoslavs to compete in team as well as individual competi- tions, saying there should be no distinction between the two. "At this stage, this option remains open said Francois Carrard, director general of the International Olympic Com- mittee. "The IOC has kept and is keeping the same line The U.N. Security Council's sanctions commit- tee was expected to meet in New York todav to review the IOC's position. The IOC board will recoveneTuesdav to make a final decision on the statusof athletes from Yugoslavia and two of its former republics. The IOC has proposed that the Yugoslavs compete under the Olympic flag and anthem without officially representing their homeland. The athletes would wear white uniforms and be called the Independent Team. But the U.N panel ques- tioned whether the formula would go against the sanctions on Yugoslavia, a former six- republic federation now con- sisting of Serbia and Montenegro. The Secuntv Council sanctions, includinga sports boycott, were adopted May 30 to punish Serbia for fomenting violence in the former Yugoslavian republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The sanctions committee asked the IOC for clarifications, saying the Yugoslavian ath- letes would still be perceived as representing their country if they compete as a team. The panel suggested the Yugoslavs compete strictly on an indi- vidual basis � meaning thev would be unable to take part in any team events. But the IOC insists there should be no restrictions. Carrard said the Yugosla- vian team would be "de-po- liticized" since the athletes would formally declare that they represent onlv them- selves, not a state or country "They are coming as indi- vidual athletes under the au- thority of the IOC he said. "Weconsiderthatathlete- mav take part in team events as in- dividuals. This line Iv.s been confirmed However. Carrard did not rule out the possibility of lim- iting the Yugoslavs to indi- vidual events if the U.N. com- mittee rejects the IOC's terms Carrard confirmed the IOC has alerted national Olympic Committees to be ready to re- place any Yugoslavian teams that might be barred The Yugoslavs have quali- fied to compete in men's water polo and handball and women's handball and basket- ball. Yugoslavia was planning to send a team of about 160 athletes and officials, Carrard said. "t
