The Government Perfor- mance Audit Committee, which was asked by the state to review the appropriations, said that leg- islators should redefine part of the state's Constitution as to its "contemporary meaning" and "as far as is practicable The state Constitution says that tuition costs should be as close to free "as practicable "It is time to re-evaluate the concept of low cost and to determine what the meaning of that concept should be for the next several years the report stated. Currently, ECU students pay about 10.9 percent of their total education costs. The rec- ommendation would raise that level to about 25 percent within the next five years. For students, mis means that the current cost per year of $718 for tuition and fees at ECU would be more than doubled totheamountof$l,632. Al Matthews, vice chancel- lor for student life, said he thinks students could handle an in- crease because most other states charge hi gher tuition than ECU. "It's going to cause some people some difficulty getting Professor Donald Cassel dies at age 6!

"But you have another 40 or 50 states where students are doing it Eleven states considered comparable to North Carolina charge students between 25 per- cent and 35 percent of the total cost of education. Richard Brown, vice chan- cellor for business affairs, stated that the increase would hurt middle income students the most. "If tuition is increased, the lower-income students will get financial aid to offset the cost Brown said. Also, Brown said that upper-income students would be able to afford any of the higher tuition costs. Courtney Jones, SGA presi- dent, fears that any tuition hike will turn away prospective stu- dents. "North Carolina is known for providing a good education at a reasonable cost, benefitting rural areas Jones said. "I'm See Tuition page 5 By Jennifer Wardrep Staff Writer Dr. Donald F Cassel, a 62- year-old professor in ECU's De- partment of Industry and Tech- nology, died Sunday of cardiac arrest in Pitt County Memorial Hospital. Funeral services for Cassel, a native of Warner, Alberta, Canada, were held Wednesday. Cassel had been teaching at ECU for two years. He taught classes in industrial and metal- lurcv for the deDartment and was described by colleagues as a well-rounded and well-liked individual. "He was great, a very in- telligent fellow said Dr. Darry 1 Davis, dean of the School of In- dustry and Technology. "He was everything from a piano teacher to a weapons expert to an expert in the treatment of metals. He was quite a charac- ter Cassel had a history of heart problems, but never se- vere enough to require hospi- talization, Davis said. "The students just abso- lutely loved him Davis said. "He spent a lot of time outside of class with them Cassel earned both his Bachelor of Ed uca tion and Mas- ter of Education degrees from the University of Alberta. He began his teaching ca- reer as an industrial arts instruc- tor for Parkland and Strathcona counties in Alberta. Later, he worked as a high school automotives instructor. He also worked as a gradu- ate assistant at the University of Northern Iowa while work- ing on his Doctorate in Indus- trial Technology, which he re- ceived in 1989. "This was sort of a post- retirement career for him said Davis. "He d idn't start working on his doctoral work until he was in his 50s While at ECU, Cassel re- mained actively involved in re- search related to heat treatment of metals and the historical de- velopment of military ordi- nance. He was also involved in the Alberta Teachers Associa- tion, the.National Association of Industrial Technology and the National Association of In- dustrial and Technical Teacher Educators. Cassel initiated and co- ordinated a student exchange program with the Yamate School in Japan while he was teaching for the Edmonton Pub- lic School System. Cassel's wife, Vera, has re- turned to Alberta, where the family will hold an additional memorial service. Instead of flowers, the family has asked that memori- als be made to the Arlington Street Baptist Church in Greenville, or the Department of Industry and Technology at ECU. Student fees allocated to different projects By Joe Horst Staff Writer Construction plans for the new rec- reation center are moving faster than renovations of Joyner Library because of a two-year freeze placed on raises in student fees by the North Carolina Leg- islature. Viewed as a building part of the educational program at ECU, the library must wait until the UNC Board of Gov- ernors concludes its study on student feesof institutions throughout the state. The recreation center does not fall under this umbrella, therefore, it does not have to wait for state appropriated money. Self-liquidating' projects, suchas the rec center, are functions that the state considers to not be part of the edu- cational program said Richard Brown, vice chancellor of business affairs. "The recreation center is a fee- based budget that will be funded by construction bonds which will be paid off by student fees said Alfred Matthews, vice chancellor for student life. The last increase in student fees happened two years ago before the Leg- islature imposed the freeze. Since the university usually raises fees on a gradual basis to cover rising costs, the freeze will force a massi ,e hike to cover the two-year ban after it is lifted. "The plan was that we would have small increases over the last two years, so there would never be a big jump Matthews said. "My guess is that it an increase is going to be 30 or 40 dollars a semester All raises in student fees by North Carolina educational institutions were affected by the freeze, except for two projects, Matthews said. "One was a UNCC Coliseum and the other was the expansion of Minges Coliseum Matthews said. This raise constituted an additional $15 a semester, or $30 a year. Food services and dorms are also exempt from the fee freeze because they are considered to be services to the cam- puses. Individuals in effect pay rent for the services provided. Currently, students pay a total of $124 for student activities' fees. The fol- lowing is a hreakdown of that total: $12.50 for Student Union, $44 for intramurals, $2 for Student Fund Ac- counting, $6 for Minges operation costs, $18 for Mendenhall and $41.50 for stu- dent government. Also, the university charges each student $114 for health services, $175 for athletics, $15 for Ficklen debt, $74 for Mendenhall debt, $26 for the recreation center and $50 for computing costs. The Ficklen debt is comprised of recent construction costs on the stadium and maintenance performed on a rou- tine basis. The Mendenhall debt pays off the costs of the new extension in Mendenhall which was started in the late 1980s. If continued, the freeze may hurt some of the services offered at ECU, Matthews said. For example, the health services offered here has been forced to dip into its reserve fund in order to match the growing cost of supplying students with necessary health care. "Weha vecutintoour reserve funds to such an extent, that if the freeze is not lifted this next year, we'll have to curtail services Matthews said. "We would have to start charging for aspirin they get over the counter, we would maybe have to drop some services Matthews said he hopes to offset the rise in fees by holding down any raises in housing and food services fees, which are unaffected by the freeze be- cause of their status as services. "We have a contract with A.R.A. that guarantees a cost of living increase Matthews said. "Housing is again not classified as a fee by the systems U.S. forces bomb Iraq in retaliation WASHINGTON (AP) � A United States-led coalition bombed targets in Iraq Wednesday in retaliation for weeks of provocations by Saddam Hussein thatoffi- cials said violated the agreement halting the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The attack was confirmed by a variety of officials in the United States and France. There was no immediate word on the sites selected for the action, which was launched under cover of darkness, nor on thenumber of aircraft involved,orwhether any planes were lost in the raids. One American official refused to dis- cuss the targets of the action, but said, "I wouldn't minimize its scope An allied military officer stationed in Saudi Arabia said in a brief telephone con- versation Wednesday: "There is an allied operation now under way. I cannot discuss it at this time The strike was launched two years after the beginning of the Persian Gulf War in which the United States-led coalition routed Iraq, and a scant seven days before President Bush was to turn over power to President-elect Clinton. The incoming president was in Little Rock, and he has said repeatedly in recent days that the administration was keeping him fully informed of its decisions relating to Iraq. "We have made clear we would sup- port such an action. These viola nonscanno be tolerated said a senior Clinton transi- tion adviser, speaking on condition of ano- nymity. Despite the allied victory two years ago, the Iraqi leader stayed in power. He has consistently been an irritantto the Bush administration, first by interfering with in- ternational inspectors trying to ferret out any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and more recently bydispatching his planes over a no-fly zone that was part of the cease- fire for the Persian Gulf War. Two weeks ago, the United States shot down an Iraqi plane over the no-fly zone .Shortly afterwards, the United States warned Saddam to dismantle missile bat- teries that posed a threat to allied aircraft.

The newspaper published a special safe sex issue and distributed 5,000 condoms. The condoms cost the school's student government S502, said Jeff Wallace, the paper's editor. "By noon Wednesday, if you could find an issue on campus you were very lucky said copy editor Joe Hutnak. The issue contained articles on various subjects, including questions about AIDS and gay rights, a condom drive-through store, having a blood test to test for HIV and a survey on virginity. Graduates more likely to repay loans Graduation is a key factor in the repayment of college loans, according to a study at the University of North Caro- lina at Greensboro that recommended universities develop stronger programs to encourage students to complete their education. Graduation lowers the probability of default by 10 percentage points, according to economic professor and co- author of the study, Terry Seaks. College students who are most likely to leave college and fail to pay back loans tend to come from lower-income, black, or single-parent families. But the authors also said that other factors were at work and said their findings "should serve as a warning against too quickly singling out colleges with a disproportionate num- ber of students from low-income, black or single-parent families Attempted suicide won 't lead to eviction A student who was evicted from an Iowa State Univer- sity residence hall while he was recovering from a suicide attempt will be allowed to stay in hb dormitory room, ac- cording to school officials who earlier had requested that he leave. After drinking a half a bottle of jack Daniels bourbon and taking 11 sleeping pills, the unnamed student attempted to slash his wrists with a razor in a dorm bathroom. The student, who said he had been under intense pressure be- cause of personal and family problems, appealed to the committee, which eventually met with him and reversed the decision. The student has agreed to undergo counseling for his emotional problems. Compiled by Karen Hassell. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers. By Karen Hassell Staff Writer A" concept known as telemedicine is being tested at ECU'S School of Medicine. With this technology, medical special- ists expect to be able to share their expertise more easily with their medical colleagues and patients in rural areas of the eastern part of North Carolina. Using the telephone, televi- sion and fax machine, professors will be able to share their lessons with students at two remote sites initially set up on the network. The program is being launched by the Network for Interactive Learning in Eastern North Caro- lina (NILEC). Over a six-month period, NILEC will test several applica- tions of interactive communica- tions. The pilot program will in- clude a weekly cardiology clinic and two university course offer- ings. A secondary school admin- istration course originating from Joyner Library will be offered at Coastal Community College in Jacksonville. The ECU school of nursing will also broadcast a nurs- ing course to Ahoskie. "We feel strongly that an in- teractive learning system such as the one that NILEC offers will be beneficial to meeting both educa- tional and medical needs in our region said David Balch, direc- tor of the Center for Health Sci- ences Communication in the ECU Division of Health Sciences. During the sessions, profes- sors at ECU can instruct students at the sites. Two-way communi- cation allows students to respond to lectures. ECU professor competes in national competition Cardiologists will use the system to conduct weekly medi- cal clinics. Through a televideoconfer- ence, the specialist, the local phy- sician and the patient will beable to communicate visually on con- sultations and referrals. The specialist will also be able to perform parts of the physi- cal examination during the tele- conference using a special elec- tronic stethoscope. According to Balch, the costs of health care using televideo systems will be greatly reduced because both patients and their physicians will save time and money. "Telemedicine, because of its potential cost-savings, will sweep the country and have an impact on the way medicine is practiced over the next 10 years he said. The program is designed af- ter a similar one at Texas Tech University Medical Center in Lubbock. NILEC has the potential to offer several opportunities for distance learning, networking and resource sharing throughout eastern North Carolina. "Televideo and telecommu- nication is part of our future Balch said. "The university wants to make use of it early so that it can show its benefits to our region The six-month test period for the clinic and the instructional courses are funded by the uni- versity with support from Caro- lina Telephone & Telegraph Co.

Saying the state's public schools are "on trial Hunt told education and government offi- cials they must take advantage of reforms that are pushing author- ity to the local level, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported.

Three Durham nurses file harassment charges DURHAM (AP) � Three nurses have filed a lawsuit al- leging they were forced to per- form sexual acts and swim nude in front of guests while work- ing as caretakers for a lawyer's paralyzed brother. The registered nurses, who filed the suit Friday in Durham County Superior Court, also al- lege that malpractice attorney Marie Sides periodically un- hooked her brother's life-sup- port system while making them stand by and watch him suffer. The suit, filed by Lovie Trice, Dovie Bass and Jane Nichols, alleges that when they refused to go along with Sides' orders, she retaliated by lower- ing their pay. Sides hadn't heard about the suit Tuesday but said the allegations were false. "My reaction is shock she told The News & Observer of Raleigh. "I'm shocked by the untruth According to the suit, Sides hired Trice and Bass in 1987 to care for her brother, Robert, who is paralyzed and confined to bed. When Trice and Bass started, the suit says, Sides also asked them to do extra chores around the house. The nurses also say Sides called them names and used profanity. Two years after they were hired, the nurses claim, Sides tried to force them to perform "manual penis stimulation" on her brother. The nurses say Sides threat- ened to fire them if they did not comply. At about the same time, the women contend, Sides asked them to disconnect her brother's oxygen system. When they refused, the suit says, Sides unplugged the equip- ment herself for three to five min- utes at time. The suit says Nichols was also hired to care for Sides' brother. In the suit, Nichols says that during the summer of 1990, Sides tried to goad her into swimming naked in front of two men. Sides also de- manded that Nichols "get on top of Robert Sides, and perform various sexual acts the suit says. Nichols, Trice and Bass could not be reached for comment. John Constantinou, theirattorney, did not return phone calls. Sides, a former nurse herself, is best known for her involvement in a controversial case involving Duke University doctors who used an experimental cancer test on sev- eral patients. Sides represented Betty Jean Eldreth, who charged that the doc- tors had misdiagnosed her as hav- ing cancer and performed unneces- sary surgery that left her disfigured. Theallegations by Eldreth and Sides about the controversial can- cer test � known as B72.3 � led to congressional subcommittee hear- ings about scientific fraud and prompted several other lawsuits against Duke by former cancer pa- tients. Eldreth settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.

(AP) � Presi- dent-elect Ginton is putting die finishing touches on a White House team anchored by an array of trusted campaign aides while hedging on a pledge to chop the president's staff by 25 percent. With his inauguration as the nation's 42nd presidentone week fromtoday,Clinton has yet to announce much of his senior Whi te House staff or the top deputies at major government departments. Buthehas settled on many of his picks, and aides said Tuesday thata flurry of White House staff announcements was imminent, perhaps as early as today. Manyof those said to be in line for ad ministration posts were on hand in Little Rock. Most are familiar faces from Clinton's winning campaign, including communica- tions director George Stephanopoulos, press secretary Dee Dee Myers and Mark Gearan, a senior Clinton adviser who ran Vice Presi- dent-elect Al Gore's campaign, and Clinton confidant Bruce Lindsey. But there are also some new � and relatively new�additions. Included in this group is Howard Paster, a Washington lob- byist who had been heading the transition's congressional relations and is set to continue that work at the White House. David Dreyer, a top adviser to House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt of Mis- souri, was recruited by Stephanopoulos to assume a major role in the communications office, which will oversee the White House media-related operations. Set to be announced with the senior WhiteHousestaff is Qinton'schoiceof David Wilhelm as the next chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee,apostfrom which Wilhelm will direct Clinton's political opera- tions. Wilhelm, a Chicago political consult- ant who was Clinton'scampaign manager, is working with other campaign consultants on an ambitious research and outreach pro- gram designed to help Clinton make policy decisions while laying the groundwork for a re-election run in four years. University police chief's husband accused in campus rape BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP) � The husband of Bloomsburg University's new police chief is accused of raping a co-worker and is under investigation in four more attacks � one that oc- curred when he and his wife were in town for her job interview. Michael Reece Boykin blamed his arrest on racism, and a university trustee said resentment and suspicion have dogged the couple since the wife took over campus security. "Bloomsburg University is fa- mous for shafting men of color Boykin, who like his wife is black, said in a letter to university officials. "I did not relocate to this unfriendly, forbid- den town to have my good name sul- lied Boykin, 41, a university mainte- nance worker, is married to former Chicago police officer Margaret Boykin. They took their campus jobs Oct. 31. That afternoon, a student was raped in a gymnasium. Rapes on or near the campus followed on Nov. 27 and Dec. 11. On Dec. 18, one of Boykin's co-workers was raped in a university pickup truck, and she named him as the attacker. He pleaded innocent to rape charges Monday in that attack and was held on $75,000 bail. District Attorney William S. Kreisher said state and Bloomsburg police were investigating the possibil- ity that Boykin committed the other attacks. He also said Boykin is a suspect in another campus-related rape on Dec. 15, 1991 � when the Boykins were in town for Mrs. Boykin's inter- view. After the rapes started last se- mester, women walked in groups and those who lived off campus were of- fered dormitory rooms, though only a few took advantage of it. The univer- sity also set up an escort system. Investigators took blood and se- men from Boykin after his arrest for comparison to evidence taken in the previous cases. Genetic tests linked some of the earlier rapes to the same person, Kreisher said. "But there was nobody to com- pare them to. We had no suspect until now he said. Bloomsburg, a town of 12,000 in north-central Pennsylvania, is mostly white. Only 206 of the university's 6,378 full-time students are black. University trustee Howard Johnson, who is black, said the arrest has "overtones of being racially moti- vated "There are people who don't want Maggie and her family here he said. "They look at blacks as crimi- nals, rapists and thieves University spokeswoman Susan Schantz said some in the community were not happy with Mrs. Boykin's appointment or the hiring of her hus- band. She would not comment directly on whether the opposition was split along racial lines, but said, "You can go downtown and talk to any redneck if that's what you want to find out Mrs. Boykin, who has taken leave from her job, is paid up to $41,804 per year. Her husband's pay is $7.21 per hour. There was considerable grum- bling when the Boykins were hired because a condition of Mrs. Boykin's employment was that her husband receive a job. Schantz said it is customary to help an employee's spouse find work if a family is brought in from far away. "There will be people who are going to say, 'I told you so Johnson said. "People within his department didn't like the way he was hired. There was resentment Senators tell Bush to slow- down on trade negotiations WASHINGTON (AP) � Eleven senators, many from textile-producing states, have told President Bush that his rush to conclude a trade agreement by Friday could seriously damage the industry. "Your negotiators are rushing pell-mell to conclude a Uruguay Round Agreement, and in the process are of- fering new concessions that should not and need not be made the senators wrote to Bush in a letter released Wednesday. The senators include some of the chamber's most senior members, in- cluding Republican Strom Thurmond and Democrat Ernest "Fritz" Hollings of South Carolina and Republicans John Warner of Virginia and Jesse Helms of North Carolina. "By weakening dumping and countervailing duty laws, the draft agreement restricts U.S. industry's abil- ity to redress unfair trade practices the letter said.

Allen has acknowledged he is ro- mantically involved with Ms. Previn, Farrow's college-age adopted daughter. But he vehemently denied daughter Dylan or son Satchel ever saw the two having sex. The latest round in the bitter cus- tody dispute between the filmmaker and Farrow came Tuesday during a hearing on Allen's rights to visit with Dylan, Satchel and the couple's 14-year-old son Moses. Farrow's lawyer, Eleanor Alter, also alleged that Allen pushed Satchel's face intoaplateof hot spaghetti inanger. Alter alleged that later, when Allen would get angry with the boy, Allen would warn, "I'm going to make spaghetti The lawyer also alleged that Allen had twisted the boy's legs and threatened to break them. Dylan reported witnessing sex be- tween Allen and Previn when Connecti- cut police asked her why she knew how tD position anatomically correct dolls to de pict sex, Alter said. Dylan made the alle- gation Dec. 30 and said she saw the lovemaking sometime last year at Allen's Manhattan apartment, the lawyer said. Allen told reporters after the heat- ing that Farrow is "drumming lies" into Dylan. "I think that when Mia needs some- thing, she takes our daughter and makes her say it Allen said. No immediate rulings on Allen visitation rights were made. Another hear ing was set for Jan. 26. Farrow was Allen's lover from 1980 until January 192, when she learned of Allen's affair with Previn. Farrow, who has 11 children, adopted Previn while married to conductor Andre Previn. �f ow to get started If you have never climbed before, you must participate in a Climbing I workshop before eligibility is received to purchase a Drop-In Supervised Climbing Pass.

Legislature consider tuition hike The North Carolina State Legislature is considering a proposal that would raise the tuition rates of in-state students here at ECU and at other state-run institutions. Students in North Carolina now pay 10.9 percent of their total education costs, accord- ing toa group of auditors. Theseauditors have recommended that within the next five years, students should pay about 25 percent of those costs. In the University of North Carolina Sys- tem, undergraduates pay an average of $819 each year in tuition and academic fees. If ap- proved, the proposal would raise this rate 81 percent to a total of $1,350 over the next five years. Graduate students would be faced with a 50 percent increase. At ECU, the hike will be felt even harder. Currently, undergraduate and graduate stu- dents pay about $718 a year in tuition and fees. If the tuition increase is passed by the legisla- ture, that rate would more than double to $1,632 per year. North Carolina's constitution provides that a university education for students resid- ing within the state be as close to free "as practical By raising the tuition for state-sup- ported schools, legislators are in effect ignor- ing this provision. Balancing the state's budget does not take precedence over insuring that students receive their right to education. This proposed raise in tuition may not be costly in the short run, but will injure students' opportunities, most significantly those in the middle-class income bracket. Lower income will still be able to receive financial aid and higher income will be able to afford the in- crease, but middle income students may very well be forced out of school. Legislators have also suggested that the amount of financial aid given by both state and federal agencies would be increased to cover the difference in tuition. With institutionsbarely able to find sufficient aid with the present tuition rates, the chance of finding more to cover a hike looks improbable, if not impos- sible. Education is the cornerstone to progress in North Carolina. If the proposed tuition hike is enacted, it will force many students to leave their college education unfinished. Legislators looking into the future of our state is their job; this hike will effectively destroy many of the chances of making it a better one. Editorial Notebook By Robert If. Nelson Environmental policy effective, expensive (Editor's note: Nelson is a se nior economist with the Department of the Interior. The preceding was taken from a speech he gave to The Heritage Foundation in 1992. His views do not reflect the views of the Interiur Department.) There are many problems with the way we make environ- mental policy. But before I exam- ine the problems, it may be useful to say a few god things. It is im- portant to keep in mind that, on the whole, the American envi- ronment is much cleaner than many others around the world. In fact, many people make the point thatthesuperiorquality of the American environment is one of the signs that capitalism and the American system work better than other systems. But you cannot then turn around and say that environmental policy in America has been totally unsuccessful. Yet my overall verdict is that current environmental policy is failing. The problem is the extremely high cost. It is a good thing we are a wealthy nation, because that is the only way we have been able to afford the costs. Moreover, the costs of environmental protection are rising rapidly. The Environmental Protection Agency in December of 1990 published figures on the total U.S. costs for all pollution control activities. These figures show that we spent about $30 billion for pollution control in 1972, this rose to $98 billion in 1987, and then again to $115 bil- lion in 1990. EPA also made the projection that in the year 2000 the total cost of pollution control will be between $171 billion and $185 billion. As a percentage of GNP, pollution control will have risen from taking less than 1 percent of GNP in 1972 to 2.5 percent in the year 2000. If current trends continue, it would not b very surprising to see a situation in which EPA commands more resources of the American economy than the military. The expected net economic cost � not the gross, which is much larger � of keeping oil drilling out of the Arctic National Wildlife Refugeislikelytobeabout $15 billion to $20 billion. Perhaps the single most prominent area of environmental policy is air pollution control. The smog in Los Angeles has probably done as much as any one thing in America to heighten environmental awareness. Air pollution illustrates many of the problems we are facing today. Let us first go back to the Clean Air Act of 1970. There was in fact already considerable effort then being made to clean up the air. Then in 1970 the Clean Air Act imposed a whole new regime with much more central control by the EPA. The level of spending on air pollution control began to rise sharply, for the United States as a whole going from $8 billion in 1972 toaround $30billion in 1990. And all this again produced some useful results. Pollution lev- els nationwide fell again by more than 90 percent from 1970 to 1990. Levelsof lead in the air have fallen by more than 90 percent since 1980, and there have been declines in levels of sulfur dioxides and car- bon monoxides. How does all this play out in terms of benefits compared with the costs?It is clear thatestimating a dollar value will not be easy. It requires us to put dollar figures on days of work that are not lost, on deaths that are avoided (or, more accurately, deferred), on aesthetic improvements and so forth. Now in the judgement of some respected analysts, the best available calculations of benefits from the Clean Air Act were done by professor Myrick Freeman. Using 1978 as a benchmark year for examining benefits, Freeman came up with a most-likely estimate of around $37 billion in benefits in that year, measured in 1984 dollars. The EPA recently published figures showing that air pollution costs in 1978 were about $16 billion, measured in 1986 dollars. So it is at least a reasonable possibility that we have been getting a good deal here. The benefits may even have been twice the costs. As time goes on, however, it is going to get harder to get further improvements in environmental quality. The law of diminishing returnsapplies to the environment as well as other areas of life.

STATE LEGISLATORS Freedom's Call Quote of the Day: Government is too big and important, to be left to the politicians. Chester Bowles By Jim Shamlin ,v �ft United States compared to Roman Empire At certain spots in the Car- ibbean, one can look overboard and see villages on the ocean floor � entire islands that have sunk. At first, it seems amazing, but it's not unimaginable. Geol- ogy provides evidence that most land masses are sinking. Even North America slips into the sea, a few centimeters every year. The process is slow, and isn't much to worry about�at least not yet. But looking at those under- water towns, one can't help but They (humans) will see danger coming, hut won't react until they perceive an immediate threat. wonder: at what point did the people who lived in these vil- lages realize their civilization was sinking and decide to move on? Certainly, one or two villag- ers may have noticed the rising waterline � one may have even noticed the connection and warned his neighbors. He was probably dismissed, like Chicken Little or those Hippies who used to wear sandwichboards that read "THE WORLD WILL END TOMORROW In time, though, the water would have risen further, until mostof theislandersrealized that their land was sinking. Some may have sensed the danger when the water began to creep over the land; others may have waited until it was visible from their homes; most would have left when the water began to fill the streets. It would be curious to know how many bodies under- water archaeologists find � corpses of people who drowned in their cottages, waiting for the water to recede, believing it was only a temporary situation. Most humans, whether by nature or choice, are crisis-ori- ented. They will see danger com- ing, but won't react until they perceive an immediate threat. The same is true of political situ- ations, which is why the political upheaval of the last decade � the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the massacre in Tienanmen Square and the fall of the Soviet Union � seems to have hap- pened overnight. Political change isn't as gradual as rising waterlines. It comes like a flash flood�unexpected�and many are unprepared. Warning is nec- essary far in advance to make preparation � and even then, few will heed. At the risk of being dis- missed like the islander who told his neighbors far in advance that the island was sinking, this col- umnist offers a warning: our country is headed for a fall. This claim is nothing new. For de- cades, historians ha ve compared events in the United States to those which preceded the fall of the Roman Empire. The water, at the time, was far too low for people to take these warnings seriously � but now, the threat is much more imminent, and the danger is more obvious. If one recounts the events preced ing the first revolution in our country and compares them to current events, ominous parallels be- come evident. The first stage in political action is dissent, evidenced by the popular opinion that gov- ernment has become destructive of its powers. Before the first revolution, many colonists felt that the English government was exploiting them. Their opinions, printed in pamphlets, circulated among the masses. Today, it is almost impossible to find a per- son who is satisfied with the gov- ernment, and the media � both printed and audiovisual � are filled with voices of dissent. The second stage is rebel- lion, most evident in acts of vio- lence � generally directionless, but spawned by discontent. The most common recollection of re- bellion in eighteenth-century America was the Boston Tea Party, when colonists, frustrated by economic oppression, de- stroyed the property of mer- chants to demonstrate their an- ger at King George. A similar event happened in Los Angeles. While the immediate stimulus was the verdict of the King trial, many rioters admitted that the source of their anger was far deeper � their violence, more than anything else, was born of frustration, spawned by eco- nomic oppression and the de- struction of merchants' property was to demonstrate their anger at President George. The final stage is revolu- tion � the unseating of one leader and his replacement by another. Luckily, our present situation provides for a blood- less coup with every election, a revolution fought with ballots instead of bullets. The problem is that an election is not typically the choice of the best leader, but a dilemma that entails deciding who is the least reprehensible. This is the case in the last elec- tion: polls have shown that most of the people who voted for Clinton in November were not so much in favor of Clinton as they were disgusted with Bush. While, through the metapolitical tap-dance of the campaign, Clinton has presented some good ideas, there are still several ma- jor problems. First of all, he is only one man and has little control over what happens within our coun- try. The bodies that control do- mestic policy, the Senate and Congress, are largely composed of reelected incumbents � the same pack of sad clowns who have been running this country into the ground for years. Furthermore, the 100-day plan Clinton touts, even if it passes, is impotent by design. Primarily, it consists of a few dabs of makeup to prettify a tu- mor thatneeds excision. The per- manent and effective change this country needs is far deeper, be- yond Clinton'sexpertise, control and, evidently, his perception. Finally, the present eco- nomic situation is fragile. There are too many people living hand- to-mouth, people for whom a slight miscalculation in govern- ment policy can result in pov- erty and desperation. Returning to history, it has always been the poor and the desperate � colo- nists in America, peasants in France and the poor in Los An- geles � who express their dis- He (Clinton) is only one man and has little control over what happens within our country. content in violence. In sum, the American people have recognized the threat and have acted to stop the rising water; the step we have taken is a small measure, dispro- portionate to the size of the prob- lem we face. It is not yet time to take drastic action. We must wait and see how well our dam holds back the rising tide � but at the same time, we must prepare for the worst to occur. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Students congratulated for behavior on Halloween To the Editor: A couple of weeks have passed since Halloween and to most of it may be just a blurred memory. The Division of Student Life and the Department of Uni- versity Unions has completed an evaluation of our first annual Midnight Madness. We were busy patting our- selves on the back at 4 a.m. Sun- day morn ing after Hal loween, but several of uscommented as to the cooperation and positiveattitude of the students and their guests who participated in Midnight Madness. I would go one step further in stating that the com- ments I have heard from both students and staff is that the people who congregated down- town acted responsibly as well. To East Carolina University stu- dents and the city of Greenville, congratulations and thanks. Too often we anticipate the worst, but Halloween and Mid- night Madness is a clear example that everyone can respect others, be courteous and have a good time. I, for one, am looking for- ward to the second annual Mid- j night Madness. We hope you are too! J. Marshall Asst. DirectorStudent Ac- tivities ECU V The East Carolinian January 14, 1993 Lifestyle Page 7 Two approaches to realism on display at Gray Gallery By Marjorie McKinstry Staff Writer From Technicolor toys to black and white etchings of the human form, the world of realism is detailed in the latest exhibition at Gray Art Gallery. The show is a combination of the works of two artists, Leland Wallin and Sigmund Abeles. Each artist explores his interpretation of realism, that "quaint, even re- actionary practice" often snubbed by today's art world. Although the Wallin and Abeles styles differ radically � Wallin preferring a color en- hanced view of toydom, and Abeles drawing his life from gut reactions�both illicit emotional reactions beyond thesailboat-at- sunset fare of realism. Abeles work in particular probes the viewers mind, often painfully. Hissketchesdetail variousnudes crouched in chairs, tensely sit- ting on beds and staring directly out from the canvas. The burden of viewing nude after nude is lifted once the pas- tel 'H is Saturday' is reached. This piece depicts an old man slum- bering in a kitchen chair, while his surroundings hint toward a depressing understanding of a not-so-jolly-fellow. The counter is cluttered with kitchen appara- tus and a small TV with an umbilically linked extension cord glows with the dark formsof pro- fessional wrestling. Sprawled across the floor is a nudie maga- zine, with the open thighs and garter belt of a woman hazily pre- sented across the fold of the page. This piece is considered to be too much of an illustration by some a darker style derived from Norman Rockwell. However, anyone who feels that Abeles work fails to illicit any real emo- tional response needs to walk only a little further to the small series of drawings showing Abeles infant son lost in a tangle of tubes and IVs, his face veiled by an monstrous respirator. The four small sketches narrate the first month of the child's difficult life, from birth, through a heart operation, to the day his face is finally free of machinery, and he is able sleep peacefully with his arm outstretched to the viewer. With all this emotional up- heaval, it can be quite a shock to turn a corner in the gallery and suddenly be confronted by enor- mous and almost luridly colored paintings of toys. Wallin's col- lection of still life images of dolls, trucks, tops and other assorted childhood paraphernalia is care- fully arranged from canvass to canvass. The outlines are defi- nite, and each shape and curve is carved from memory to a point where realism meets surrealism. The colors are too bright to be nostalgic, the forms and lines too precise to be comfortable, and the toys too new looking to be the fond hand-me-downs of heri- tage. The art is disconcerting, lacking an edge of familiarity, which is probably intentional. A large painting of a nude woman seated stiffly on carousel horse juts out from the center of the room. She appears as "inani- mate as the horse with her twisted upper body bizarrely parallel to the decay of the ani- mal, the only toy that shows age. Amid all the representations of dump trucks and snatch games, she is out of place. But even though her body lacks the grace and reality of Abeles' drawings, the discomfort she emanates may be the most realistic expression in Wallin's paintings, since it draws its appeal less from stylis- tic "color relations and composi- tion structure and more from an adult perception of childhood. Both exhibitions will remain on display until January 21, at Gray Art Gallery in the Jenkins art building. The Gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m and Thurs- day until 8 p .m. Admission is free. BCXK The Tale of the Body Thdef By Anne Rice Alfred Knopf, N.Y. By John Bullard Staf f Writer For all you Anne Rice freaks out there who were waiting for the release of the new installment in The Vampire Chronicles, relief came just in time for Santa and the New Year. Rice continues her series with The Tale of the Body Thief. The plot structure resembles Interview with a Vampire, the now-classic novel which began The Vampire Chronicles. Unlike in the middle books, Rice uses a limited cast of characters in Tale. The small number of figures in the new story comes as a relief from the overwhelmingnumberswhich paraded through The Vampire Lestat and The Qiieen of the Damned. So who's back? Not many. In fact, Tale includes barely three vampires. Don't worry though: Lestat, everybody's favorite blood-sucker, is back, along wi th h is first victim, Louis. A very brief scene contains Marius, who only shoots a dirty look at Lestat. That's it for vampires. For the mortalsamong immortals returns David Talbot, the paranormal expert. For all those who don't recognize these names, there's nothing to worry about Like the other novels in The Vampire Chronicles, you need not to have read the previous books. New to the series comes, of course, the body thief. Rice also throws in a German shepherd and a nun, believe it or not, as Lestat's love interest in The Tale of the Body Thief. The action of the story revolves around every vampire's dream of becoming mortal for a day. Lestat, our foolish fiend, gets just that His opportunity arises from the mysterious body thief, an unknown mortal who can jump into other bod ies, who offers him the chance to see the sun again. There's only one catch: Lestat must give up his own vampire body for the allotted time. Of course, Lestat leaps at the offer without giving it much thought and the fun begins. After the spiritsof Lestat and the body thief exchange anatomies, Lestat wakes to find that he has indeed become mortal and that all the money he stashed to use has been stolen by the body thief. Lestat realizes he is helpless and will probably never get his immortal body back. Sick and lost in the streets, Lestat befriends a dog, makes out with a waitress, and falls in love with a nun. After givingthenun whatshehasbeen depriving herself of, Lestat heads for New Orleans and the vampire Louis. In Cajun country Lestat appeals to Louis, after convincing Louis that indeed it is he (Lestat) in another body. Louis refuses him in a torment of confusion. What is poor Lestat to do? Following some convincing from Lestat, David Talbot, the mortal, then comes to the rescue. The retired head of the Talamasca (the world's leading paranormal society) helps Lestat to figure out who the mysterious body thief isand how to track him down. From here Lestat and David use all their humanly power to pursue the body thief, who has been wreckinghavocalloverthe globe. Thechase, in typical Anne Rice fashion, takes us all around the world at lightning, heart-pounding pace. WftTheTaleofthe Body Thief, Anne Rice continues to captivate readers through the world of vampires. Within Tale and its sus- penseful pi ' Rice also gives some con i relief. The mortal Lestat's agi- tation with bowel move- ments and his rediscov- ering the use of the male member provides for some laughs in a couple of very tense situations. Overall, The Tale of t he Body Thief shows tha t Anne Rice can hold her readers' attention for four straight books. It's well worth reading, es- pecially if you have a free weekend. Nodoubt, all Vampire Chronicle faithfuls will seek it out Many have picked up the second or third book first and ha ve gone back to read the rest. Who knows? The 7.7 of the Body Thief may just be your starting point. Torever Young' fails as drama By Gregory Dickens Staff Writer In Forever Young, it is 1939 and Daniel McCormick (Mel Gibson) is the "hot dog" of the newly-formed AirCorpsand inlovewithhischild- hood friend and sweetheart, Helen (Isabel Glaser). However, before he can ask her to marry him, she immediately is involved in a accident that puts her in a coma. Daniel is shattered. His only hope is to be frozen and reawakened when Helen re- vives. Butheawakens50years later. Bewildered, he befriendsa boy, Nat (Elijah Wood), and his single mother,Claire (Jamie Lee Curtis) as he tries to find Helen while under- going a mysterious ailment. These are really good actors trapped in a pathetic movie. Gibson's charm and demeanor makehimhard not tolikeand Curtis is an underappreciated comic ac- tress. God love 'em, they try really hard, bless their hearts. But Jeffrey Abrams has written another smaltzy woe-unto-the- malemedical tragedy love-story. Remember Regarding Henry?

We learn nothing about him and have no reason to like him, were it not Gibson's role. The possible romance between Daniel and Qa ire isdropped suddenly with mimimal change in interaction. Theway in which Daniel isa wak- ened from his sleep is preposter- ous. Characters are introduced and almost immediately dis- carded, such as Nat's friend and his brother. The fish-out- of-water plot is not beliveable as Daniel adapts too well to everything. The too-cute boys wear out their charm fast and the ending is contrived and disappointing. There is even an obligatory Fedsgood guys chase scene. What is so frustrating about Forever Young isa collec- tion of potentially-promising scenes and plot lines that wither away into cliche and predictability. If this were to have aired on television as a movie-of- the-week, it would have been buried by any of the numer- ous Amy Fischer stories. What an appropriate fate for such an undeveloped movie.

Anyway, finally put out on Matador Records (see Superchunk, old Teenage Fanclub), Slantedand Enchanted is a 14-track musical amalgam by three Stockton, Ca scrubs. Guitars collide, sometimes off-key, the drums sound like a used, beat-up three-piece Ludwig, the production sucks, and the bass is turned too low. Gracefully, it's the songs that reign. Recorded in a week, Slanted almost sounds so unprofessional as to have been recorded on a four-track. On "In the Mouth a Desert humming mimics the guitar solo to sound like a late 1980s Rcxi Stewart song. In almost every song there'sa main- tenanceofharmonicvalidity which gives any grungehead sonic orgasm at the sound of slapstick guitar distortion go- ing loopy bonkers while the patient bass line meanders through its steady four note pattern, thereby providing a sem- blance of coherence, or at least purpose. TheepicenterofPavement'senigma must be the lyrics. Meager pecking at critical keys in search of words to de- scribe does no justice, so here's a sam- pler. "Fun for an hour when he's gone can one trick nights feed 40days?

(from "Here the album's best cut). No doubt, the lyrical conundrum of Pavement'sconcoctions makes tor refresh- ing intrigue and sloppy guitar music. Cer- tainly not for everyone, Slanted and En- clianted deals a different dose of angst, not necessarily mad, just very neatly skewed. Slanted and Emhanted Rapper MC Serch's tune "Here It Comes" was one of the best singles in 1992. Sadly, the album from which it came, Return of the Product, fails to pro- duce anything close to "Here It Comes The record wears terribly thinabou t mid - wav through and sports three worthy cuts, including "Social Narcotics" and the title track. Perhaps the word Return in the album's title suggests a sequel of sorts (see Re turn of the jedi), and every on e knows sequels are always worse than the origi- nal, so Serch's LP is therefore intended to be bad, right? Sorry Serch (and 3rd Bass) fans, that formula won't work because Return of the Product is Serch's debut ef- fort, and his first since his split with Pete Nice and the unfortunate breakup of 3rd Bass. Now Niceisdoinghisown thing too, and it looks like the derelicts of dialect, important staples in hard beat, streetwise, old school rap, are gone for good. Only fellow Caucasians and New Yorkers Beasrie Boys are as talented (and re- spected) as3rd Bass was. Unfortunately the magic duo that put out semi-cross- over hit "Pop Goes the Weasel" (a righ- teous indictment on white not-rap treasonists such as Vanilla Ice) among other gems, and who dealt sly rhymes with smooth deliveries on fat beats for four years, are no more. Serch's solo project seems to be no consolation, and he better find a new partner. His lyrics on Return ate fine� some b-boy, some preaching social con science, some saying nothing�hut the music in ever)' tune except Here It Comes" sounds last-minute, lame and limp. Like every rapper,Serch brags about rus dope beats, fry basslines, kkkin' lyri- cal messages, and so on.

'Leap of Faith7 feeds off unquestioning belief By Gregory Dickens Staff Writer When "Leap erf Faith" opens, we see the town of Rustwater, Kan theCornrelish Capitol of the World, on the verge of desolation. Unem- ployment is high,the corn crop threatens tobeatotallossdue to lack of rain and the town is fragmenting socially. Rustwater is becoming a haven of apathy, inertia and pessi- mism;its citizens haveno hope and nothing to believe in. Enter Jonas Nightingaleand His Angels of Glory, a caravan of con artists travelling in customized shuttles and tractor-trailers under theguiseofanomadicrevival. When one of the trucks breaks down and cannot berepaired foralmosta week, Nightingale (Steve Martin) decides to pitch camp and swindle the lo- cals. Akledby his majordomo, Janet (Debra Winger), who uses a laptop to access scam-related info, and an impressive choir, Nightingale as- sembleshistentsand souvenir stands and advertises his message of how Rustwater can seek blessing and healing from Jesus through Jonzs. The townspeople swallow it whole. They are bedazzled by Nightingale'stheatrksand hissec- ond sight; the Call which, in real- ity, is Janet with a personal micro- phone hook-up to Jonas and notes supplied by planted members of the audience. Trie congregations swoon and give generous portions of their much-needed paychecks. Jonas promises relief spiritually and eco- nomically and "heals" the afflicted. He becomes Rustwater's celebrity and savior. However, not all are impressed.The town sheriff (Liam Neeson,tryinghard tocoverhisScot- tish burr with Midwest compone) immediately isawareof Jonas' scam and tries to court Janet away from Nightingale. A local waitress dis- trusts the revival despi te her younger brother's belief that Jonas can heal his injured leg. This is a subtle, affecting movie. The premise of blind faith thrust onto the con man who feeds off of such unquestkxiingbelief isnotnew; there have been numerous takes on the "Rainmaker" theme. Martin as Nightingale is apathetic toward the plight of the townspeople; his only interest is to bleed die town dry. He isdevious,conniving,arrogantand, worst of all, good at what he does. Where other actors may have faltered, Martin's experience with a v live audience allows him total com- fort and control with the congrega- tions. He knows how to work a crowd; his stage choreography is a combination of Irish folk and James Brown soul-stepping. Nightingale isanunlikeablebutfascinatingchar- $ A X Deal.

"Faith" doesn'tflinch from the implications of ma- nipulating faith, nor from using Christian doctorines to disguise a money-making operation. But the main point is this: is faith any less effective or noble when focused through someone like Jonas Night- ingale?

'Trespass' has good story intention and actors, but doesn't live up to viewer expectations. Trespass' all talk, little action By Gregory Dickens Staff Writer It'samazing whata little thing like a title can do to a movie. Universal's Trespass was sched- uJedfbra late-summer release in 1992. However the movie was then titled Looters and Universal,fearingbad pub- licity stemming from the L.A. riots, thought a name change would make the movie more accessible to a larger audience. They also moved thismovie to the middle of the Christmas season,whenwyCTjwantstoseevio- lerweandexhaustiveprotanity,tohope- fully compete with the huge movies that traditionally are released this time of year. They really shouldn't have bothered. In LootersTrespass,two Arkansas firemen (Bill Paxton and William Sandier) ate given a map that leads them to East Saint Louis to find gold buried in a derelict warehouse. While there,they stumble upon Bradlee, a homeless black man( Art Evans), who doesn't know about the gold. But as they tear up the building, they witness amurder committed by the local gang, King James (kK"T) and his "business associates The gang comers the fire- men in an attempt toget them off what they consider to be their property. Thegangdoesn'tknowaboutthe gold and wants to know what these white guys are doing in their ghetto. Thegangdoesn'twantanyonetoknow they murdered someone and the fire- men are a ware that King James has no reservation about killing them They then have to decide whether to cut a deal with Bradlee over the gold in order to escape or wait and hope the police show up. It's odd to think of such a story being written by Robert Zemeckisand Bob Gale, the collaboration that gave usthefticfctofteFHhwtrilogy.Itwould be a strong achievement for the team known for high-speed comedy and subtle exposition to pull off a tense action tale with racial conflict such that Trespass almost delivers. And you would think that director Walter Hill, who directed both 48 Hours movies, wou Id give us another dynamic gun- fight of a movie. Unfortunately, the script doesn't give Hill anything to work with. The set-up, two white men versus an ur- ban gang for the right to a decrepid buildingforvariousreastTtswhileboth try to keep fromarousing police suspi- cions, is ripe.

But Zemeckis and Gale's story doesn't expand to potential. The basic premise is strong. Man struggling to survive, man struggling to be rich; if sa simple plot However, the complication of possession gives Trespass its edge. Who can claim the right to the building and its contents? The fortune-seekerefromanother state, the gang members who use the build- ing tocommita murder and consider it part of their turf or the man forced to reside in it? EXes anyone have the privilege to call it theirs? If not, what means will be taken to enforce a par- ticular viewpoint? The obvious answer is tons of violence and make it snappy. And itis the almost-certain means that men re- sort to in order to gain property and pride that Trespass is truly about. The events leadingupto the confrontation is the story itself with the action as an epilogue (it seems that way due to its detachment from the plot).

He plays a toyrnakernarned Leslie Zevo who tries to save a toy factory from the dutches of his evil uncle (Michael Gambon). Toys was directed by Barry tevinson, who had previously di- reeled Diner, Rainman, Avalon and nancHhernxniestaiTingRobinWiIl- 4 jams called Good Morning Vietnam. Thesupportmgcastincludesa , cameo by Donald O'Connor (re- 'kerrberSingm'mtheRain'sMake "Em Laugh"?), aremaricably suave jwfonrianoeby rapper LL Cool J and another ditzy performance by banCusack. The sets in Toys provide strik- ig visuals. From a giant elephant c1bmbstone that blows bubbles to a 'toy factory filled with wonderful inventions, the colors and props jtfcllate the eyes. �� With so many attributes then, 3ne has to wonder why Toys is a Jiisaster of such monumental pro- portions. It provides absolutely no Ssntertainment and fails miserable as a parable of the dangers of mod- �m technology. Not since Hocfchasa film upset jne so completeV- Toys, like Hook, Jwasanarduouschoretositthrough. Jjevinson, like Spielberg, seems in- Sent on showcasing the sets to such enextentmathepaysnoheedtothe convoluted, repulsive, superficial Jtory. ; If viewed separately, like in a tiagazirestoryorairoviepreview. the sets appear magical. But in the context of thisgrim tale of war toys the sets seem garishly misplaced. The bright colors belie the dark tone of the film. RcWnWilliams'jokesseemasmis- placed as the toys. He blithely drops glib one-liners while his life is falling apart He might have been funny if only he were not so pitiful. Instead of evoking laughter, his inappropriate repartee pains the viewer. The effect of these jokes is to paint the director as a sadist, inflicting pain on the character and also on the viewer. The story is a simple one. The head of Zevo Toys, Kenny Zevo (Ionald O'Connor) dies and wills the toy factory to his militaristic brother, Leland (Gambon). Leland gets the idea to create war toys thatare real�thatis they fire real ammunition He hires his son Patrick (LL. Cool).) to head the security divi- sion and scon most of the factory be- comes a highly restricted area. Kenny Zero's children, Leslie (Robin William) and Alsatia (Joan Cusack), watch helplessly as their father's factory is overrun. They won- der why Dad would have left the toy factory to his brother. (It would seem that Kenny Zevo had no more sense than these filmmakers.) Toys is a jumbled mess of ideas and characters. Not much in this film makes sense. Near the end of the film, for ex- ample, Patrick decides to help Leslie tiytogetthefactorybackNowPatrick, remember,is the head of security. Yet, Patrick does not see a tiny elephant with a camera in his trunk spying on himashe tells Leslie aliabouttheplans Leland has for the war toys. The music in this film is awful. Even when the songs are supposed to behappy,toshowhowhappy factory lifeisbeforeLelardanives,tr-eysound menacing. And when themuskshould be menacing it sounds hollow.

Yet toere is an inappropriate scene where Patrick and his girlfriend are kissing passkratelywhensherevealsthatshe has been sleeping with Leland. The scene is played as neither comedy nor drama�she could have been telling Patrick that his socks did not match. Theoperungsequencewithdane- ers pirouetting around a snow cov- ered stage seemshopelessly misplaced � like Levinson shot the scene for another movie but decided to use it in this one.

This film should be avoided. Do not ever botherwiththevideo(which will prob- ably be out in three month judging from it pitiful box-officeperformance). Just say no! The end of the "Murphy movie" era By Ike Shibley Staff Writer "Entertainment Weekly" re- cently ran a cover story on Eddie Murphy. The question they posed was: "Has Eddie still got it?" Murphy'snewest film, The Dis- tinguished Gentleman, may not give a definitive answer but it does present convincing evidence mat Eddie still has "it The "it " in question just needs to be clarified. Murphy no longer seems to have the assured confidence he once possessed. Hiscockiness has faded and so has his edge. Judging from Murphy's recent films, character like Axle Foley (Beverly Hills Cop) and Billy Ray Valentine (Trading Places)wiHneveT again be seen. Because Murphy has tasted too many bitter fruits or maybe because he is maturing (which, in this case, is not meantas a compliment) he no longer infuses his character with the gritty self- assurance that propelled him early in his career. Murphy has mel- lowed. In Distinguished Gentleman, Murphy plays Thomas Jefferson Johnson, a con artist who decides to run for Congressman. He wins the seat solely on his name. Johnson takes hiscon team with him to Washington to serve as his staff. He figures to make a fortune by voting the way lobbyists pay him to vote. Of course, Johnson soon learns that there is more to life than money and that his position brings with ita lot of responsibility. The cliched script does not dwell on Johnson's conversion but instead spends time developing a host of supporting characters led by Joe Don Baker, a shady busi- nessman and Lane Smith, a shady congressman. Grant Shaud (Miles Silverberg on "Murphy Brown"), Sheryl Lee Ralph, Victoria Rowell, Kevin McCarthy (the star of the original "invasion of the Body Snatchers") and Charles Dutton (the title rove in the television's "Roc") also pro- vide quality support. The pace of Distinguished Gentleman must be credited to Jonathan Lynn, the director. Hehas a- .innate sense of timing, knowing just how long to carry out a joke and just how much seriousness is needed so that the story can move alongwithoutbecomingawkward. Lynn won much respect with one of last year's sleeper hits, My Cousin Vinny. In mat film, like in Distinguished Gentleman, he deftly navigated the treacherous terrain of comedy�making jokes while not being offensive and tackling romance with a light, deft touch. One of the funniest sequences in the movie occurs when a lobby- ist tries to convince Congressman Johnson that semi-automatic weap- ons should be legalized. Johnson goes duck hunting with a group of hunters using these weapons and the expressions on Johnson's face evokes memories of the old Eddie Murphy who could make people laugh with a smirk. Unfortunately Murphy now relies on able direction, a decent script and a good supporting cast. Murphy's best films also had these three ingredients but one felt that Murphy could succeed even without them. Now Murphy is just an actor. He no longer commands the attention he once did. Hecan still be funny but he is no longer a centerpiece. Will thereever beanother "Eddie Murphy" movie? When a film is referred to as an "Eddie Murphy movie" or an "Arnold Schwarzenegger movie" it means that the main reason that particular film was made and the main reason to see it is because of the star. Recently A Few Good Men has been referred to as a 'Tom Cruise movie This is entirely inappropriate. Critics and movie-goersneed tobejudidous in their labels. AFewGoodMen is a court-room drama with a ter- rific ensemble cast based on a powerful play and is expertly directed. It is not a Tom Cruise movie, it is a movie in which Tome Cruise stars. The point may be small but is is irksome since many film goers may be turned off by the label. They may expect a Top Gun (which was a "Tom Cruise movie"). So I reiterate that there will probably be no more "Eddie Murphy movies Because Murphy is no longer a superstar with the charisma to carry a film, there will only be movies which star Eddie Murphy in the future. I, for one, lament the loss of "Eddie Murphy movies SUB STflTIOMTT &.99 4 $�&.

H The East Carolinian January 14, 1993 Sports Page 13 Jesse Jackson issues demand to baseball owners GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) � Base- ball owners have heard what the Rev. Jesse Jackson has to say. Now they must decide what to do. Jackson presented his 14-point agenda at a major league meeting Tues- day, called on current players to join his campaign for the integration of front offices and threatened boycotts if teams don't develop affirmative action plans. "The problems Rev. Jackson dis- cussed will not be solved in one night or season Texas Rangers owner George W. Bush said. "But I think his purpose was to make sure the consciousness of the decision-makers was aroused Milwaukee Brewers owner Bud Selig, chairman of the ruling executive council, called Jackson's speech reasoned and said he and National League presi- dent Bill White � who is black � will formulate baseball's reply expeditiously. "He made a constructive and sensi- tive presentation this morning, and one that we will respond (to) with the dig- nity it deserves Selig said, declining to give specifics. Jackson, accompanied by a delega- tion that included the Rev. Al Sharpton, spoke to owners for about 45 minutes. Jackson had a short conversation with Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott, who made a surprise appearance at the meeting but didn't speak during it, ac- cording to Selig. Alleged racial remarks attributed to Schott renewed debate last fall about baseball's hiring practices. "She has done grave injury to our society and to the game of baseball Jackson said at a news conference. "She must be removed or suspended from baseball, at the least, for a period of time. She must be fined and she must be reha- bilitated In other business: �The teams unani mously approved tr- B sale of the San Francisco Giants from Bob Lurie to a group headed by Safeway Inc. chairman Peter Magowan. � The executive council appointed an eight-person search committee for a commissioner to replace Fay Vincent, who quit under pressure Sept. 7. On the committee are Jackie Autry of Califor- nia, Bill Bartholomay of Atlanta, Paul Beeston of Toronto, Douglas Danforth of Pittsburgh, Fred Kuhlmann of St. Louis, Carl Pohlad of Minnesota, Haywood Sullivan of Boston and Fred Wilpon of the New York Mets. � Beeston and Wilpon gave an in- terim report from the committee restruc- turing the commissioner's job. Selig said " he hoped for a final report in 2- to-6 weeks. � John Harrington of the Red Sox reported on surveys of fan reception to the possibil- ity of expanded playoffs. Selig said the matter wouldn't be addreesed in depth until at least March. Jackson said his exchange with Schott wasn't too signifi- cant and that his concern was a broader effort to increase minority hir- ing of all professional sports teams, col- leges and sports media. Schott is to an- swer the allegations in a Jan. 22 meeting with the ruling executive council. "To keep focus on her and to martyr her would be to takeaway focus from the real problem in athletics Jackson said. "We're moving on beyond that She (Marge Schott) must be removed or suspended from baseball, at the least, for a period of time. She must be fined and she must be rehabilitated The Rev. Jesse Jackson Jackson proposed that White, whose term as NL president expires in March, be considered for commissioner and sug- gested Hank Aaron as another possibil- ity White repeated that he wasn't inter- ested. "I'veconveyed that toeveryone in the world White said. Thompson takes control of her ship By Warren Sumner Assistant Sports Editor The ECU Women's basketball team is preparing for its first con- ference game when it travels to James Madison Friday to meet the Lady Dukes. The Lady Pirates are looking for a tough game against JMU, who has a 5-1 record while playingathome. Head CoachRosie Thompson said that the team'sdis- appointing 74-60 loss to Coppin State on Jan. 9 would offer little indication on how the team would fare against James Madison. "We felt real good going into the Coppin State game Thomp- son said. "But we just could not shoot the ball at all, and that was realdisarpcmtingconsideringhow hard we played Despite the Coppin State setback, Thompson said she is sure that the Lady Pi- rates will be an exciting and unpre- dictable team in the CAA. "As far as the conference is concerned, its pretty wide-open, even though(inthepre-season)we were predicted to finish second in the conferencewe're just seeing how the other teams have played, how they've performed against some of the competition we've played, its going to be one of those things thatyou'renot going toknow whaf s going to happen until the very end. Butatleastwith theexpe- rience on our team because they know what it takes to win, and because they all get along great we should do real well, but it all will depend on how well we shoot and how aggressive we are on de- fense Thompson also believes the chemistry she has seen in her team will be a great help to them in their conference play, partial larlyin the unselfishness they show on the of- fensive side of the ball. Pnoio by Dai! Rwd Where's the 'D Guard Toina Coley may be the best defensive player in the CAA. She is leading the conference in steals with 4.1 per game. "Up to this point we've had five people in double figures, that's the average. We're definitely not shy about passing the ball to any- body and we love to run Thompson said that the play of Gaynor CDonnell has helped the Pirate offense tremendously. OTJonnell, a foreign student from Merseyside, England, leads the nation in assists per game, with 1025. She already holds ECU's ca- reer assists record with 615. While O'Donnell leads the passing attack, her backcourt mate Toina Coley has proven herself a defensive force to be reckoned with. Coley, a 5-7 senior guard, is averaging 4.1 steals a game and according to Thompson can effec- tively guard anyone,no matter what height advantage they may have. Anybody who's on the perim- eter, regardless of how big they arc.if they're their best outside shooter Toina usually gets the as- signment. She sort of expects that now, I guess Thompson said. When talking about the Lady Pirates' scoring capabilities, Thomp- son turns immediately to 6-1 center Rhonda Smith. Smith, plagued by a knee injury since last season, is cur- rently second in theC AA in scoring, averaging 163 points per game, and is third in rheconference in rebound- ing. "Rhonda is a big factor prob- ably because of the fact that she's 6- lshe's real strong and has a real nice shooting touch. Whenever she gets in foul trouble everyone else has to pick it up a notch to make ui for the size we lose inside Thompson said that one thing that helps her relate to her players is the fact that she has travelled the same road as they are on now. Thomp- son was a Lady Pirate from 1975-1980 and is the only fe- male player ever to have a jersey retired at East Carolina. Thompson is ECU's all time leading scorer and rebounder and holds the East Caro- lina record for single season scoring. Thompson feels her past successes at ECU give her players something to relate to. "I think that the players, when we ask them to do something can say, 'Hey she's at least done this before.U I think those things help a great deal By Robert S. Todd Sports Editor Rosie Thomp- son �ECU football will openagainstSyracuse on ESPN. The game has been moved back toThursday,Sept. 9,fromSaturday,Sept. 11 for the telecast. "That certainly speaks well for the rapid growth of our program at a national level. It's exciting for our players, students and fans. We look forward to having ESPN back in Greenville East Carolina athletic director Dave Hart told reporters. Last season, ESPN broadcast the East Carolina-Southern Missis- sippi contest, the first-ever live national telecast from Greenville. The Pirates' ship sank, 38-21, causing many fans to believe ECU would never appear on national television igain. It is a good thing the Orangemen had such a successful season. The Bucs opened and closed their 1991 season on ESPN. ECU has appeared on six national telecasts in its football history. � The ECU football team received verbal commitments from J.H. Rose's Dante Randolph and Sarasota (Ha.) Cardinal Mooney's John Peacock. Peacock played linebacker, wide receiver and fullback butis likely to see action at linebacker for the Bucs. Peacock runs a 459 40- yard dash and bench presses 375 pounds. � ECU may need Peacock on both sides of the ball next season. Although unconfirmed, ' linebacker Tony Davis and wide receiver Dia Hicks are rumored to be ineligible for next season. Athletic Director Dave Hart and Head football coach Steve Logan will not be available to confirm or deny the rumor until sometime next week. � The ECU men's basketball team is the parent of a six-game loosing streak (all on the road and two in overtime). The Pirates' offense is like a donut�there is nothing in the middle. Opposing defenses can feast on the outside shooters and not worry about ECU pounding the ball in the paint Proof positive is the combined shooting of Lester Lyons, Ronnell Peterson, "Ice" Kareem Richardson, and Anton Gill. In the first five games they combined to shoot 51 percent In the last six games they have fallen to 37 percent Forward James Lewisand swing-man Curley Youngare theonly Pirates shooting over 50 percent for the season. Tony Davis See ROW page 18 Football cham- pionship may become reality BOSTON (AP) � The executive direc- tor of the NCAA reportedly will call for consideration of a one-game champion- ship playoff in Division 1-A college foot- ball, which would be played after all the bowl games. Dick Schultz was expected to suggest the playoff system in his annual "State of the NCAA" speech today in Dallas, The Boston Globe reported. While Schultz cannot force the mem- bership to adopt the plan, he will suggest the schools consider it as a way to generate more money in the same manner as the NCAA basketball tournament. The idea of a college football champi- onship playoff has been around for years, bui has met stiff opposition from the bowl games. Coachesand collegeaclministratorsalso have generally opposed playoffs, arguing they didn't want to extend the season any further. The extra revenue, however, could be attractive to athletic directors who must deal with rising costs and the implementa- tion of more women's programs to meet certain requirements. This year, the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams met in the Sugar Bowl, with second - ranked Alabama defeating Miami for the rational title.Butsuchmatch-upshave been rare.

The loss furthered the Pirate skid to six in a row. The Pirates trailed for most of the game, as stellar first-half performances from JMU guards Bryan Edwards and Kent Culuko buried the Pirates. Edwards and Culuko, sporting 10 first-half points each, were backed up by the rebounding of forward Clayton Ritter as he snatched down five boards in the first period. Despite the productivity of Pirate guards Ronnell Peterson and Anton Gill with eight points each, the Dukes ended the half enjoying an eight-point advantage When play resumed in the second half, the Dukes pulled further ahead of the Pirates after they began committing costly fouls. The Dukes hit 36 of 44 sec- ond-half free throws to offset a 13-point performance by Pirate guard Lester Lyons. The Pirates, after the final seconds elapsed. sUxxl 4-6 on the season, won- dering when their bad luck would end.

Still, neither the Pittsburgh Penguins nor the NHL were prepared for this stun- ning news: Lemieux, hockey's predomi- nate and highest-paid star, has cancer. Lemieux, the NHL's leading scorer, already may have started four to five weeks of radiation treatment for Hodgkin's disease, a usually treatable form of cancer that attacks the lymph nodes. Lemieux, 27, was diagnosed in the early stages of the disease after a large lymph node was removed from his neck, according to a statement approved Tues- day by team physician Dr. Charles Burke. The disease is confined to the abnor- mal lymph node, and subsequent tests have shown no evidence of any other problems, the doctor said. The Penguins said Lemieux could resume playing in four to six weeks, though doctors said those projections seem overly optimistic. "I don't know what more that guy is going to have to go through Penguins winger Troy Loney said. "1 just feel for him. I couldn't care less vhen he comes See Lemieux pageAb 14 The East Carolinian JANUARY 14, 1993 AFC teams have slim chance of winning Super Bowl XXVII (AP)�Think about it. For all the infusion those Roman numerals a re supposed to create, Super Bowl WV11 isstill some three weeks aw, v and everybody already knows the "i ginning, middle and even the end. Kickoff. Halftime show. NFC celebration. That, at least, has been prettv much the scenario for each of the last n;ht Super Bowls, and 10 of the last 11. And it will be repeated Jan. 31, when the National Football Confer- ence representative will run away from its American Football Confer- ence counterpart h a score approxi- mating 37-16 (or XWYII-Wh.One other thing: The game will be a mi ooze. The Super Bowl has become so predictable that even the British bookies, whose X'FL handle is about the same as test cricket in Vegas, got the line right on the first try. They pegged NFC entries San Francisco at 6-5 and Dallas at 2-1; AFC entries Miami and Buffalo were both at 5-1. It shouldn't be that easy. The conferences draw talent from the same labor and management pools, they play by the same rules, they even share most of the same accountants. And yet, the same side always wins. So what gives? Well, unless one of the players on either side in this year's "ulti- mate" game has the "ultimate" an- swer, debate on this issue could eas- ily stretch into the next century. For a while, AFC people insisted that it was simply a "cyclical thing But they've been spinning so bad forso long that it'salmost impossible to find anyone who can stand still long enough to take the question. The NFC version, meanwhile, has been handed down from locker room to locker room with such non- chalance wear after year that you can't tel 1 f r su re whether the play- ers who mouth it genuinely be- lieve it. Here it is anyway: bigger, as in team sizes; better, as in the cali- ber of defenses; and battle-tested, by the competition they play regu- larly. And there might be some- thing to it. Heading into last weekend, the four remaining NFC teams in- cluded the winners of four of the last five Super Bowls. And it was hardlv coincidence that three ot them called the NFC East home, where the big and bad meet to sort things out nearly ev- ery week T the season. It makes for ornery survivors. Moments after Washington's humiliation of Buffalo in last year's Super Bowl, someone asked the Redskin Ron Middleton the NFC-AFC question. "I ought to know a little bit about it because I played in both he began "But I can't put a finger on it The fact was, Middleton's 6-foot-2, 270-pound frame, with most of a season's worth of bruises intact, spoke vol- umes about the difference. bpDri HFii'&rs nieeuii iodiiy.ii-i v:l) in th Studexii IP ublicii lions binildiim TIIK v-srt � mk TheSAKof a Lifetime ?19.93' Brook way Braak ou Big Beach-Big Fun- BIG VALUE!

(AP) � Pierce Holt grew up rcxiting for the Dallas Cowboys. In Sunday'sNFCchampionship game, he'll be digging in against them as the anchor of the San Francisco 49ers defensive line. "I was a big Cowboys fan. Now, they're just another football team we have toplay said Holt, i native of Martin, Texas. But he admits one Cowboys player still remains special to him: Randy White, a standout defensive tackle for Dallas who retired four years ago after a 12-year career. "The guy was my idol. Shoot, I watched just about every down he ever played Holt said. Holt modeled himself after White's determined brand of play, and he has emerged as a defensive force for San Francisco. "He's one of the best defensive linemen in football right now San Franciscocoach George Seifert said, likening Holt's twisting, relentless driven in the trenches to the twirling "Tasmanian Devil" cartoon character. Holt, named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his five-year career, had 55 tackles and 5 12 sacks this season, and his push up the middle also created opportunities for San Francisco's outside pass rusher, Ti m Harris, who had 17 sacks. "Pierce has been the best player on this defense by far 49ers linebacker Michael Walter said. "You know a lot of times, great players kind of do their own thing. They have a lot of leeway as far as being able to slant. But Tierce plays within the defense and still makes great plays Holt helped the 49ers reach the title game against Dallas with a three-sack effort d uring last week's 20-13 victory over Washington in a divisional playoff. Two of the sacks came during the Redskins' final series did come up with three sacks in that game, but there's probably games I've played better in throughout the year Holt said. "But people are so into the sacks tha t they probably wouldn't beable to realize that unless they watched the game film. "I approach every game the same. Makinga tackle isasimportant to me as getting pressure on the quarterback, just because every down is important to me. I try to be as intense as possible on every down Much has been made about the marquee matchup pitting San Francisco's top-ranked offense against Dallas' top-ranked defense. But the game could very well be decided by how well Sari Francisco's defense deals with the Cowboys, who in many respects are similar to the 49ers in their offensive capabilities. "Stopping Emmitt Smith and getting pressure on Troy Aikman are the key s, and that's going to be a challenge Holt said. Free agents are key to Cowboys IRVING, Texas (AP) � Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson prides himself on knowing the whprpahmiK nf frpp apwits who might produce for the NFL team in an emergency. Tight end Derek Tennell and ainning back Derrick Gainer are two prime examples of how Johnson's talent network pays off as both scored touchdowns in the Cowboys' 34-10NFC playoff victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. A season-ending knee injury to Alfredo Roberts prompted the Cowboys to sign Tennell, a fifth- year free agent who played in three games earlier this season for the Minnesota Vikings. Hewasplugged into the Dallas offense only a week before Sunday's NFC divisional game, yet was on the receiving end of a short touchdown pass from Troy Aikman. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner surprised both Aikman and Tennell by calling the play. "We had it in the game plan, but I didn't think we'd call i Aikman said. "They put in the play on the goal line where Troy fakes to Emmitt, but I really didn't think they would use it Tennell said. "I was really surprised.Then I was so wideopen, I was worried about dropping the ball It was Tennell's first touchdown since 1989, when he scored for the Cleveland Browns. Gainer has been with the Cowboys since Oct. 15 after being released by the Los Angeles Raiders. Ga iner, who played at Florida A&M, scored a touchdown and gained 29 yards on nine carries in relief of Emmitt Smith on Sunday. Gainer, a burly 5-foot-ll, 24()-pounder who was drafted in the eighth round by the Los Angeles Raiders in 1989, also played for Cleveland in 1990. He had 32 carries for 91 yards until Sunday's game. "It felt ereat getting into action, but I knew one thing: I better not fumble Gainer said. Gainer got his job because Curvin Richards was released for fumbling twice in the season finale against the Chicago Bears. "It's just a highlight for me playing in the NFL again he said. "I was wondering if I would ever get play again. You never know "It's really weird how all this has worked out said Tennell, who had a career total of 25 catches for 249 yards before Sunday. Tennell played at UCLA, where he was a teammate of Cowboys' linebacker Ken Norton and safety James Washington. "Never thought I'd be here wi th them Tennell said. "Now we've got a chance to go to the Super Bowl.

For the Penguins themselves, it was the second such shocker in less than 18 months. Coach Bob Johnson died of brain cancer in November 1991, just six months after coaching the Penguins to the first of theirtwoStanleyCup cham- pionships. "It's a pretty scary situation. We just can't afford to lose people of his caliber in our game said Wayne Gretzky, hockey's unques- tioned star until Lemieux came into the league in 1985. "He is too important, he is too talented. It has got to be frustrating, not only for him and the Penguins but the whole NHL. "More importantly, he has to worry about his health now. He has a difficult time ahead of him Penguins general manager Craig Patrick was in California, reportedly meeting with team owner Howard Baldwin, but is to return for a news conference Fri- day that Lemieux will also attend. A typical treatment for Hodgkm's consists of five to 10 minutes of radiation five times a week for four to five weeks. The fact that Lemieux will un- dergo radiation therapy is an indi- cation that doctors found the can- cer in itsearly stages, said Dr. Den- nis Meisner, an oncologist at Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh. Meisner said the Penguins' contention that the type of Hodgkin'sdiagnosed in Lemieux's case is the "most favorable" may be misleading. "It is a cancer, and all types of cancer are very serious Meisner said. "As a cancer, it can become life-threatening If the disease is limited to one lymph node that was removed, it is classified as Stage One Hodgkin's, which has a cure rate of 95 percent, he said. Radiation therapy causes fa- tigue and weight loss, and could make someone too tired to play hockey, Meisner said. The cancer can spread to other parts of the body, including the bone marrow and lungs, but usually only if it goes undetected for a long period. Until now, Lemieux's frequent medical problems have been con- fined mostly to a chronically bad back. He was enjoying his most in- jury-free and successful season un- til last week, when he again expe- rienced the back pain that has forced him to miss more than 100 games the last four seasons. With 104 points in 40 games, he was threatening Wayne Gretzky's NHL scoring record of 216 points until missing the Pen- guins' last two games. He won his third NHL scoring title in five years with 131 points last season, despite missing 16 games with back-related prob- lems. He was limited to 26 games in 1990-91, missing the Penguins' first 50 games after surgery before re- turning for the Penguins' first Stanley Cup. Student Stores more tnanjustoo�e.
