"Young people support this president and this party said Tony Zagotta, national chairman of the College Republicans, who hopes to unveil a fast-paced, "MTV-like" recruiting video aimed at young voters when the Republicans con- vene Aug. 17 in Houston, Texas. An estimated 1,000youngrep- resentaties were expected to at- tend the Republican National con- vention, although it was uncertain how many would be voting del- egates. College Republicans were pre- pared to work hard this fall to reg- ister voters and persuade young people that the nation would be better off with the incumbent team of George Bush and Dan Quayle. Zagotta said voters ages 18-24 were "the most Republican of any age group And conservatives hope to continue to draw on sup- port from young people who voted for George Bush in 1988 and Ro- nald Reagan in 1984. If Bush wins re- election in 1992, "we lock up this generation for the Re- publi- cans Zagotta said.

Another college voter regis- tration initiative will be kicked off this fall by college Democrats. The goal is to register 50,000 students by the election. That's in addition to the music industry's Rock the Vote cam- paign, a non-partisan effort to reg- ister voters in the 18-26 age group. With the convention finished, Outreach Director Terry Northrup said College Democrats will begin heavy campaigning for the Clinton-Gore ticket on their col- lege campuses this fall. "We're hoping Clinton and Gore will campaign on college campuses said Adam Kreisel, a junior at Trinity College in Con- necticut, and coordinator for the College Democrats National Voter Registration Program.

Jamie Harmon, a Harvard University junior, convention del- egate and president of College Democrats, said the Democratic platform supports the big issues that affect students. "I think the main issues � student loans, abortion and the job market � were pretty well emphasized. The Clinton student loan program is the most specific it's ever been in terms of the platform. It's a real breakthrough Harmon said. Gin ton has proposed making aid available to anyone who wants to attend college, with loans being repaid through community service or a percentage of future income. Tony Zagotta, national chairman of College Republicans, said he believed young voters would be more interested in the greater economic opportunity offered by the Republican platform, as well as its promises to reduce government regulation and maintain strong defense and foreign policies. "This generation is more distrustful of government than any generation in a long time Zagotta said, adding, "Young people really identify with and support the foreign policy of these two presidents (Bush and Reagan) Because the environment is the top issue among college stu- dents, Terry Northrup said she believed Gore would be a tremen- dous asset to the Democrats.

FINAL SUMMER ISSUE - LOOK FOR WELCOME BACK EDITION AUGUST 26TH . 4 2 Ei?e Eaat (Earolinian July 29, 1992 Fund misuse cited by auditors According to the Office of the State Auditor, Pitt Community College misused $19,247 in fed- eral funds appropriated for dis- advantage students on mentally retarded students enrolled in job skill development courses. The state auditor notified the Department of North Carclina Community Colleges of the find- ing and recommended that PCC refund the money and follow fed- eral regulations in the future. In the report, PCC rebutted the auditor's finding stating the money was spent on students who were both handicapped and dis- advantaged. "A plan of action in our local application for these funds that was submitted to and approved by the Department of Commu- nity Colleges explicitly describes that the funds will be used in the local sheltered workshop the re- port stated. "As such, the college acted in good faith based on a plan that was approved by the fiscal and program agent for these fed- eral funds Also in the report, PCC stated that federal laws do not prevent red pients who are mental ly handi - capped from qualifying for disad- vantaged funds. Tim Underhill, state audit manager, said he agreed that fed- eral regulations do not prevent an individual from qualifying as ei- ther handicapped or disadvan- tage. However, he said individu- als must be treated as handicapped for PCC's Vocational Education Program. "PittCommunity College's in- terpretation of the federal law was different than ours Underhill said. Gary Moore, dean of students, said PCC administrators stand by their decision but will reimburse the federal government with state funds at no loss to the university. "If we had drug this out into the next fiscal year, and if we had lost the battle, we would have to pay it out of this year's budget Moore said. "We elected to pay back the money According to Moore, new fed- eral regulations have been imple- mented that will avoid similar problems in the future.

Rm(hu,ii�nuiimmi.t, and rewarding While most sti Newspapers have always been a big part of my life When I was voung, I spent a lot of time in the offices of Rocky Mount's The Evening Telegram. The woman who gave birth to me wouldn't blow money on a sitter, and since she worked at the paper, I trooped in after her on many a day Being so young, I spent most of my time converting office supplies into toys, which probably explains a lot about the way I am. I also taught myself to type But my strongest memory of the Telegram is my memory of the first day I saw the pnnting presses. I was maybe eight Probably six A genial man who worked at the Telegram � I don't rememberhis name, only that he was always very nice to me � led me by the hand downstairs and into the very center of the world They were these gigantic black cylinders � at rest, for the moment � stretching seemingly out of sight into the distance I remember looking up at them, wide-eyed, and feeling power, I think, as if here lay the forces that moved the earth All right, so it was a reaction totally out of proportion to seeing the dinky printing presses of a third-rate small- town newsrag Buteverythinglooksdifferentwhen you're eight �or six �and the impression left by that brief visit was indelible Until that day, 1 wanted to be an astronaut After that day 1 wanted to work for a newspaper And it is in that sense that working for The East Ca'jlmiar. nas been a dream come true Working for this newspaper has been good for me in �lot fotherways, too There s no better way to leam about . writing than by writing, and I've written a full newspaper page and more per week, at times � on top of classes That gotten somehardlessonsabout writing even through mv th.uk skull i ve learned something else, though, and this is what 1 wanted to talk to you about I have learned that most people are cowards, blindly following the path of least resistance no matter where that path may lead Somehow these people seem to end up as general managers and managing editors I've spent a lot of time fighting spineless general managers and managing editors for the nght to print matenal thev were afraid of. There have been fights Bitter, vicious fights involving threats and tears and the whole- sale destruction of inanimate objects There are people who have worked for TV East Carolinian, and people who work elsewhere in the building, whom I will never again speak to even at the cost of my life Mostly, I won Eventually I would manage to con- vince my opponent that continuing to disagree with me was going to be a lot more unpleasant than anything angry readers could dish out. It took work. Now, it's nothing like it used to be. The people currently in charge are sensible and honest That hasn't always been the case But the turnover here is high, and in all likelihood it won't be very long before another one of those spineless bastards is in charge again So why am I telling you all this7 Because I'm leaving, that's why 1 graduated, and I'm leaving, and 1 need you to do me a favor. See, ever since that day I stared in awe at those gigantic (to me) printing presses, I've understood that the press is one damn powerful monster Working here, I've seen what damage that monster can do in the hands oi people who are driven solely by their fear of your wrath It's not overt damage, it's more pernicious than that Under their control, the printing press sings thesoft lullaby of complacency, not the harsher song of truth; the mur- muring of sameness, not the jangle of dissent The very worst thing the press can do is to tell you only what you want to hear Unless, that is, you make it unmistakably clear that you only want to hear the truth The truth, and the widest possible spectrum of opinions, for opinions are windows into fact It is not enough merely to be tolerant; you must actively demand truth and dissent � including views you despise You can't get nd of the cowards I couldn't either, and Cod knows I tried They're here to stay But you can turn their cowardice to good purpose, by making them scared to do anything less than the nght thing I won't be here to take part in it I have done my share So I'm asking you: please, keep an eye out When the press lies or hides or distorts or dissembles, they betray you. Show them how mad it makes you when you are betrayed And let them know from time to time when you think they're doing a good job, too The ones who do their jobs properly, the Matt Joneses of this world, deserve your praise as much as the cowards deserve your scorn Finally, while you're keeping a sharp eye on this newspaper, keep an even sharper eye on the nefarious doings of the media board The media board is composed mainly of people who know nothing about the media and whose commitment to free speech runs about as deep as Joseph Stalin's They work for you They represent you Keep them honest Thomas Jefferson said: "I have swom on the altar of God Eternal to resist every tyranny over the mind of man " Me, too Lots of people out there think you're too dumb and childish to handle stuff that challenges you. I never agreed with that, and I fought those people every chance I got. I hope it mattered Your rum. -30- By Michael Martin The East Carolinian Education is probably the big- gest choice I have ever had complete controlofinmylite Deciding whether or not to take honors courses in high school was just the beginning, then came the task of deciding where to go to college East Carolina was, you might sav, the only choice for me. My dad (a 15 alumnus) nei- ther twisted my ma nor was i : fact that no other school accepted me I wanted to come to East Carolina This school was the only place I wanted to tome� I didn't even apply anywhere else It wasn't for the partv image (even though I attended many over the past five years) It wasn't for any athletics team In fa:t, it wasn't for anything specifically I just felt a call- ing � a feeling inside that told me something verv special awaited me in Creenvilie Five and a half years later, I now know what that feeling was It's hard to explain, but I have to try You see, people that know me know that when I get involved in something, I give it 110percent While the finished product may not have alwavs met the eve of cnhcs, the end result was always better than when I started Back in the fall of 1988,1 met a woman named Knsten that influenced the rest of my life � she was a writer. As we sat in front of the Student Store between classes one day, I found out that she was a desk editor at The East Carolinian Awed, I had to meet her. She told me about the job, and need- less to say, I took the first step toward the rest of my life It was a cold November day as I walked into the upstairs office of the Publications Building Little did I know at the time, I would spend the rest of my college career in this fa- mous (or infamous) building � often sleeping on a sofa or on top of a desk Ehinng the next three years, I moved around the newspaper doing various jobs spor.s editor, editorial columnist, news writer, designer the most memorable being managing editor in 1990 I made a lot of mis- takes (so I've been told), but no more than any other who had the job. The newspaper got better and so did the feelings of those who worked for it. Manv, many sleepless nights were spent in the Publications Build- ing Too often, that sleeplessness led to cutting classes, which sent my grades plum meting�like an airplane falling to the earth without running engines I was out of control, and I had to regain mv composure That's when 1 joined a fraternity It was one way for me to put my priorities back in order Lake TV East Carolinian, I gave the fraternity 110 percent dedication, and I was elected to serve as president for a year That too, was challenging and rewarding While most students at ECU do not like or agree w ith Creek bfe, it introduced me to fnends that I will have for the rest of my life�most of whom are not m my organization Two weeks ago, 1 realized that I was finally going to graduate The situation reminded me of a weekend I spent with Kristen in Nags Head some two years ago, when she broke into tears about the fear of graduation and the real world The stress, she said, was unbearable Not knowing how to comfort her, I borrowed the storyline from "St. Brno's Fire It's one movie, that in my opinion, all college students should watch when graduation finally a.nves To be brief, seven recent Georgetown graduates, all best fnends, find life fwrd m the real world, and the movie focuses on how each one deals with their problems It was the St Elmo's fire legend that guides one of the individuals from goingcom- pletely crazy Every time I watch that movie, I see mvself in all seven characters. And I guess that's the only true way to describe that calling I had for ECU. It's like St Elmo's hre While most of you readers have either gone through this before, or will go though this in the future, 1 feel that putting it on paper will somehow keep the feeling intact forever � for everyone to enjoy So to all the professors, friends and associates I've.met over the past five years, thank you Good-bye East Carolina � I'll never forget you A View From Above Doublespeak plays on ignorance Walk's Words By T. Scott Batchelor Editorial Column tat Legalization offers alternative ByJ. William Walker Editorial Columnist It's a simple idea, really Give the people what they want It's economical, it's constitu- tional, and above all, it's practical Whoever decided that declaring a "war" on drugs would remove them from this country was not thinking clearly. The removal of a substance (a plant in most cases) that offends or could harm someone is exactly what our constitution protects We have spent millions of dol- lars and thousands of hours to what end? Cocaine, a front-line enemy, is in fact moreavailable and cheaper today than it was at the beginning of mis "war Marijuana use is increasing in high school students. The only thing this "war" has given us is crack, an even deadlier form of cocaine. That's right, crack(the low-cost-easy-to- smuggle-easy-to-sell-one-hit-addic- tion -mach ine) is a product of this war. Maybe I'm crazy, but shouldn't we consider an alternative approach, maybe one that works? The common response to a prob- lem is to try to find a solution to that problem. If the first solution does not work, doesn't it seem logical to try a different solution? Let's consider some facts: 1) The demand for illegal drugs is high. Economics tells us if a product is demanded, it will be supplied. Ille- gal drugs make people want more drugs Now, we can call this a major problem, or we can cash in on the realities of the situation. The govern- ment refuses to apply reason to this dilemma The same thing happened in the 1920s with the prohibition of alcohol Granted, that's an overused argument, but if we can't leam from our mistakes, what can wedo? People in the 1920s thought a world with alcohol would create a chaotic stumble-zone of lushes and alcohol- ics But it didn't. Applying a dose of realistic hu- man behavior tells us that most people naturally don't want to be useless bums in a constant drug-induced daze. Making drugs legal will not create a massive wave of first-time druggies. 2.) Illegal drugs are available The illegal drug industry is lu- crative enough that dealers will con- tinue to deal as long as it's illegal. Drugs' illegal status provides dealers incredible incentives A single kilo- gram of cocaine can provide a $24,000 reward With those incentives, who is going to turn down a $100,000 dollar per week career as opposed to a $4.25 an hour job flipping burgers? The "war" has inflated the business to the extent mat the benefits exceed the costs. 3.) Our methods aren't work- ing Illegal or legal, the message has been sent loud and clear; people will use drugs. Despite constant efforts to cast out the filthy drugs, they are here. Every day, the demand for drugs gets higher and higher and higher Our police are out-gunned and out-manned Thousands have died, and thousands more will die. Method A will not get us to objective A. Through a system of careful control, we can put a lid on this prob- lem. Government regulated drug stores, like ABC stores, would create millions perhaps billions of dollars in annual revenues. An age limit could be enforced, as with alcohol and to- bacco, quality control could be regu- lated, and dosages could even be con- trolled. Revenues could be directly pumped into education about drugs and rehabilitation from drugs. All it takes is a little logic, reason, and fore- sight, and this pointless "war" could be over. The system doesn't work, if s not going to work, so let's find a solu- tion that will provide an acceptable outcome. I don't think legalization is the only way, but at least it's a differ- ent way. Control rather than prohibition is a much more realistic concept when dealing with an epidemic such as drugs. Think about it Allow me to get right to the point. I recently came across a marvel- ous book entitled Deufekspeajk. by the editor of the Quarterly Review of Doublespeak. William Lutz. In Doublespeak. Lutz pins down and exposes a prevalent, though often ignored, application of the English lan- guage As Lutz puts it, "Doublespeak is language that pretends to commu- nicate, but really doesn't. It is lan- guage that makes the bad seem good, the negative appear positive, the un- pleasant appear attractive or at least tolerable We all have encountered doublespeak at one time or another. Television advertisements offer "real counterfeit diamonds" (without the slightest hint of embarrassment, adds Lutz), or brag about goods made out of "genuine imitation learner" or "vir- gin vinyl Doublespeak of the kind men- tioned above is usually funny to us. Yet some forms of double speak can be quite frightening, serving to delude, obfuscate, or misrepresent important facts. Lutz writes that "It is only by being aware of the pervasiveness of doublespeak and its function as a tool of social, economic and political con- trol that we can begin to fight those who would use language against us That is precisely why I decided to write about this book now. Unless you've been in a coma for the past several weeks you are no doubt aware that this nation is in the midst of a presidential campaign. And as with all political functions, speeches are abound. Therein lies the potential for egregious examples of doublespeak. The following are some ex- amples of doublespeak propagated by government administrations, agen- cies and politicians as cited in Doublespeak We have all heard of taxes eu- phemistically called "revenue en- hancements but did you know that there was no such thing as an eco- nomic recession? It's simply "a pe- riod of accelerated negative growth" according to the Reagan Administra- tion An acid rain isn t that either, says the Environmental Protection Agency. It's just "atmospheric depo- sition of anthropogenetkally-denved acidic substances " Whew, that's a relief! According to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, Atlantic City doesn't have any gang- sters, mobsters, Mafia, or La Cosa Nostra; these folks are just "members of a career-offender cartel I think that might have been a title for his novel that Mario Puzo only briefly considered. I first became aware of double speak when I was very young. I was watching a news story about a soldier in Vietnam who stepped on a land mine (or anti-personnel device) and, according to an army surgeon, had suffered "traumatic amputation of his leg In other words, I remember thinking, his leg was blown off. The military thrives on doublespeak. In the armed forces it's not a shovel but a "combat emplace- ment evacuator If you stand up when you ought to be ducking, you may wind up with a "ballistically in- duced aperture in the subcutaneous environment a bullet hole.Thus, in military parlance, a toothpick becomes a "wood interdental stimulator a pencil a "portable, hand-held com- munications inscriber They may be bombs to us, but to the army they're "Vertically deployed anti-personnel devices anjd a parachute becomes an "aerodynamic personnel decelera- ted " We may be able to purchase an ordinary steel nut at the local hard- ware store for twenty or thirty cents, but a "hexiform rota table surface com- pression unit" will set you back about $2,000. While some examples of mili- tary doublespeak can be a bit discom- forting, it is even more troubling to reflect that it is politicians who control the armed forces. Pobticians are mas- ters of doublespeak, being able to talk for several minutes without saying a thing. When Governor Nelson Rockefeller was running for president he was asked his opinion on the Viet- nam War He answered, "My position on Vietnam is very simple And I feel this way I haven't spoken on it be- cause I haven't felt there was any major contribution that 1 had to make at the time I think that our concepts as a nation and that our actions have not kept pace with the changing condi- tions. And therefore, our actions are not completely relevant today to the realities of the magnitude and the com- plexity of the problems that we face in this conflict Pure gobbledygook The next time you listen to a politician speak, analyze what he is saying. If you are confused by the rhetoric, chances a re it's doublespeak. As Lutz points out in his book, "Doublespeak has become so com- mon in everyday living that many people fail to notice it What's worse, he says, is that when people fail to notice it. We don't question politi- cians who speak of slums as the "in- ner city or use euphemisms such as "substandard housing and "disad- vantaged Check out doublespea k from the library or purchase it from a book store. Read it from cover to cover and I guarantee you it will prove to be an enlightening experience Especially the next time Bush and Clin ton take to the stump along the campaign trail.

Doth work hard at the dairy, but only Dottie is content. Dortie waits patiently for her hus- band Bob (Bill Pullman) who is fighting overseas, but Kit feels the restless drive to do more with her- self than provincial life would al- low. rhe irony of the situation is that Dottie is a better ballplayer than Kit and it is Dottie who Ernie wants. Irnie only reluctantly buys Kit a train ticket once Dottie agrees to go with her to Chicago. Conflicts between the siblings arise throughout theentirefUm. Kit constantly feels inferior to Dottie and consequently resents her tor her ability. Kit feels unable to escape from the overwhelming shadow that Dottie casts. Spicing the story of the sisters is the potpourri of personalities they encounter while playing for the Rockford Peaches. The most interesting member of the team is jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), the manager. Atfirstjimmy resents being given girls to manage but eventually comes to respect the players, finding that baseball can be enjoyed, no matter who is playing. The rest of the supporting cast, including Madonna as May Mordivido, each have their own personalities. They elicit many laughs with their distinct idiosyn- crasies. The main problem with this film is the cliched script and Marshall's handling erf it The story (f Dortie and Kit plays more like a second rate sitcom than a first rate Hollywood film.

The huge rift between Kit and Dottie is bridged by toothpicks in the denouement, yet the filmmak- ers would have the audience be- lieve that the siblings will now live happily ever after. But in A League of Their Own, which lauds itself for its realistic portrayal of a chapter in the history of sports, the lapses in credibility damage the final product. Still, this film scores on many other levels, most notably as a hi- lanous comedy.

Dinner theatre alive and well By Joe Horst Staff Writer Dinner theatre has been a long-standing tradition in America. The joy of eating a fine meal coupled with the pleasure of seeing a finely acted play are two things that will continue to be the high point of evenings to come. Anglers Cove Restaurant, in Hertford, N.C, marks another pe- riod tn this long-standing tradi- tion with their hosting of the Boot- strap Acting Company's produc- tion of "Broken Up written by Nick Hall. "Broken Up" is the story of a middle-aged couple going through the trials of marriage and divorce. Tom, the husband, has had an affair with one of his En- glish students. Meg, his wife, de- cides she's had enough of his mid- life crisis, and moves out. Com- plicating matters is a fast-talking blind date named Roger and the apartment complex's handyman, George. Watching this performance gives one the feeling of a down- home, simplistic view of life. Character development is not re- ally stressed; the thrust is for en- tertainment, not meaning. All the actors give earthy performances that leave the audience with a feeling of camaraderie and sym- pathy The grass-roots sets, light- ing and sound all emphasize the overall effect of being at home and comfortableness. The highlight of the perfor- mance comes in the second act when the three men engage in a drinking spree, matching each other with tequila shots. Phil McM ullan, as Tom, gives a hilari- ous performance, walking on his knees and giving the well-recog- nized drunken slur. Merlin Baker, playing Roger, also delights au- diences with his mouth full of cotton speech, stumbling around the room and generally making an ass out of himself. Even the proverbial lampshade-on-the- head trick appears at the end of the scene. So if a night of humor with friends and family appeals to you. Anglers Cove Restaurant is the place to go. Performances run on July 24, 25, 31 and August 1, 2, 7 and 8. For $15.00 a person, one can get a friendly atmosphere, along with excellent food, and a night of laughs to round out the evening. For reservations, call (919) 426-7294, evenings, and (919) 426- 9295, days.

Ihe former Soviet Union knew this quite well and focused great attention on pro- ducing world class athletes. East Ger- many followed suit (bv anv means nec- essary). Athletics is never under the micro- scope more than during the Olympics. Sports are a vital part of this world's society While fans constantly complain players are over-paid, those1 same people buy the caps and watch games on cable and pour more money into the players pockets.

The absence of Johnson and Stockton left the U.S. team without a true point guard on the roster. But Chicago Bulls Jordan and Scottie Pippen did the job anyway. Pippen blanketed Kukoc for most of the game and then said the Croat superstar, who scored just four points, is overrated. "He's OK, not as great as people said and I anticipated Pippen said. "I don't know he's even the best European player here. That's probably Drazen Petrovic Petrovic hit three 3-pointers in a one-minute span late in the first half to lead a Croatia rally, but he had foul trouble and scored just two of his 19 points in the second half. Kukoc, courted intensely by the Bulls last year, was defensed superbly by Pippen, who made just his third start for Team USA. Pippen and Jordan both resented the attention given Kukoc by Bulls general manager Jerry Krause. "Idid this because 1 can't put Jerry Krause out on the court Pippen said. Kukoc missed four of his first five shots and was scoreless until just before halftime. Karing & I linking CATCH ALL THE OLYMPICS ACTION HERE!
