Doctor defends the use of animals for medical research By Karen Hassell Assistant News Editor The history of animal research has become increasingly interesting in recent years with the growing controversy in animal rights issues. Susan E. Lederer of the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center at Pennsylvania State University spoke at ECU yesterday. The lecture, entitled "Before Ani- mal Liberation:Opposition to Animal Ex- perimentation in 20th Century America was a history presentation in using ani- mals in research. Lederer is a medical historian who has written extensively on the issue of animals in medicine and also medical experimentation with human subjects. "I do support the responsible use of animals in research Lederer said. Lederer went on to discuss the issue that stretches back to 19th century. In 1833, the American Anti-vivisectionist Society was created . Websters defines vivisection as the cutting of, or operation on, a living ani- mal. The American Anti-vivisectionists, which are still in operation today, op- posed this practice, Lederer said. Newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst supported the anti- vivisectionist's movement. Lederer highlighted how editorial practices of a leading research journal reflected politics of the time. Lederer said "The Journal of Ex- perimental Medicine" used such prac- tices as refraining from using gender neu- tral pronouns to refer to animals, keeping numbersof animals low even if that means using decimals or letters to make the num- ber appear lower and not to use unsightly photos of animal subjects. She reported on the historical use of orphans for research purposes. And, the fact that Hitler's Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy both outlawed the use of animals in research. "Using animals is a simple matter of self-preservation according to some Lederer said. Lederer said that others use the argument of "You would rather have some rats or dogs die than your child. That would make it understandable (us- ing animals) but it wouldn't make it right Lederer traced the use of animals for research, including legislative acts and propaganda used in American over the years both for and against animal use in a slide presentation during her lec- ture. In the 1930s, rats became the lead- ing research animal. By that time the use of dogs had led to some significant medi- cal advances. However, by that time over 8 million Americans owned dogs. The di fference in the movements in the animal activists of yesterday and to- day lies in the purpose of the move- ments. Many of the arguments used by the anti-vivisectionists evolved around the moral effects dealing that with live animals would have on humans. Accord- ing to them, it would deteriorate the moral fabric of the human mind. Today's movements focuses on the rights of the animal involved. t Computers take program to cutting edge For a good cause Graduate students study shipwreck for class project.

ECU's Maritime History and Underwater Research pro- gram has put itself on the cut- ting edge of technology with two new computers designed to as- sist in siting and evaluating shipwrecks. Recently, $10,000 was granted by an interested indi- vidual to the program for the purchase of two Gateway 2000 38633 computers, two GETCO digitizing tablets and a high speed Hewlett Packard Drum plotter. The Autodesk company also donated software called AutoCAD Version II to go along with the new computers. "We got the computers about a year ago, in March, and just got it all set up last fall said Gordon Watts, a professor in the maritime history depart- ment. "We're now putting the first information that we're go- ing to try and process from the shipwreck survey we had been doing with the Bermuda Mari- time Museum Students will also use the new computers to input infor- mation regarding the shipwreck, "C.S.S. Jackson one of two sur- viving Confederate ironclads. The computers will then formu- late a three-dimensional image of the ironclad as it was during the Civil War. Watts has said that the up- dated lab will provide student with and edge in the field after they graduate. "The lab will give students the necessary practical experi- ence that will enhance their com- petitive edge in a rapidly chang- ing job market Watts said. "It will also permit commercially available programs to be adopted for use in submerged cultural resources research and management In 1981, the Maritime His- tory program started at ECU. According to Watts, the program is a two-year program that fo- cuses on both maritime history and underwater archaeology. "As far as what students coming into the program could expect, it's about 45 semester hours Watts said. "It's a com- bination both of history and the elements that make up under- water archaeology The program also offers two field programs where stu- dents can go out and have hands-on experience with infor- mation that they have learned in class. "This summer, the field school will be held in Jackson- ville, Fla working on a vessel called the 'Mapleleaf Watts said. "We just finished working on a 16th century Spanish ship in Bermuda, and this year, we'll be working on what ap- pears to be an 18th century Brit- ish ship Plans for further semesters include surveys in Mobile, Ala on at least three Civil War ship- wrecks, the "Monitor a cap- See MARITIME Page 4 Photo by Dail Rood Members of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority and Sigma Pi fraternity held a car wash last week to benefit American Missing Children.

The report said those who earn degrees beyond high school (25.2 percent) make an average $2,231 monthly compared to $1,280 for those who havesomecollegebut nodegree, $1,077 for thosewhohave only a high school diploma, and $492 for those without a high school diploma. The report said that most advanced degree holders have either executive, administrative or managerial positions, or work in professional specialities. Business degrees are the most popular of all postsecondary degrees, and law, medical and dental degrees account for 56 percent of all professional and doctorate degrees. Student objects to racial slurs A University of Central Florida student dropped a class in Judaic studies because she said the instructor make a comment using the word "nigger" after she asked him a question, the campus newspaper reported. Lynn Carswell said that she used the term "Old Testament" when asking instructor Joseph Gutmann a question, and he responded by telling her he found the reference offensive because it implied that the Jewish reli- gion is outdated. "How would you like to be called a nigger?" he allegedly asked Carswell, who is African American. He then asked another African American student the same question. Gutmann, who is an adjunct professor, has apologized to the student, according to the University of Central Florida Future, the campus newspaper. The incident was being reviewed by the administration, the paper said. Aspiring attorneys to teach law A group of aspiring lawyers from Ohio Northern University's College of Law are teaching high school students about the aspects of law that may directly affect them. Under the Street Law program, 65 Ohio Northern University law students are teaching 12-week mini-courses to senior and junior civics and American history classes at five high schools in the area. "The vast majority of high school students here have no contact with a lawyer and know only what they see on TV said Sherry Young, director of the Street Law program.

DETROIT (AP) ? General Motors Corp. plans to battle back against critics who say the nation's biggest automaker manufactured millions of unsafe pickup trucks over a period of 14 years. The Washington Post, quot- ing unidentified company sources, reported Sunday that GM will ac- cuse the National Broadcasting Co. and several consumer groups of rigging test results to make it ap- pear that the design of the gasoline tanks on full-size GM pick- ups made from 1973- 1987 were unsafe. The automaker scheduled a news conference for yester- day afternoon at its Detroit headquarters that "I think (NBC) might be interested in Bill O'Neill, director of public affairs for GM's North American Opera- tions, said Sunday. He denied the Post's conten- tion that the announcement was part of a major public relations campaign. He said GM had previ- ously been unable to respond to allegations that its trucks were unsafe because of a gag order in a court case that ended Thursday with a $105.2 million judgment against the automaker. A jury in Atlanta found GM negligent over the "sidesaddle" fuel tank design of its older pickup truck models. The parents of Sh- annon Moseley, 17, who was killed in a fiery 1989 crash, were awarded $101 million in punitive damages and $42 million for the value of his life. The Moseleys contended their son survived a crash with a drunken driver but died because the fuel tank in his 1985 GMC pickup exploded. GM argued that the teen-ager died quickly from head injuries before the truck caught fire. GM has said it will appeal the award. Nearly 5 million of the trucks are still on the road in the United States and Canada. Sources told the Post that the automaker will try to show that tests commis- j.rm ? sioned by NBC's "This appears to "Datelin pro- be an attempt by gram were rigged General Motors to by the institute for Safety Analysis to divert attention from this $100 million adverse jury verdict and possible recall Tory Beilinson, NBC News spokeswoman Indiana-based testing company, said he could not comment. Critics contend that the automaker knowingly endangered lives by putting the gas tanks on the outside of the truck frame rather than inside, where the heavy metal channels of the frame wou Id serve as a protective steel barrier. GM changed the design and after 1987 put the tank inside the frame. Industry analysts say a re- call would cost from $500 million to $1 billion.

GM began legal action on Jan. 20 against the institute, seeking access to the data compiled for the Nov. 17 television report. The automaker plans to announce a similar lawsuit against NBC at the news conference, the Detroit Free Press reported today. It said NBC acknowledged Sunday that consultants installed remote-control, electrical igniters under both pickups it tested for the report. Beilinson told the newspa- per that the tests were not rigged because the fire did not start un- derneath the truck where the ig- niters were located. She also said nothing was done to the fuel tanks that would have made them more prone to leak or rupture during the tests. Bruce E.

Six death row inmates have been spared, while 10 others are facing execution once again after a two- yearwaveof new sentencing hear- ings ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court. Since the 1990 court ruling mat the sentencing guidelines used in the state's capital murder cases were unconstitutional, 41 inmates have won new hearings and 16 of them already have been resen- tenced. Joan Byers, a special deputy attorney general who prosecutes capital murder cases for the state, said thenumber of death sentences reaffirmed may be a vindication of the state's position after the ruling in the case of convicted killer Dock McKoy. State appellate defender Malcolm "Tye" Hunter Jr. dis- agreed. "I really don't see it as a vin- dication of anything said Hunter, who argued before the state Su- preme Court that those sentenced under the unconstitutional proce- dures must get life in prison. "It just illustrates the arbi- trariness of the system we have he told the News & Record of Greensboro. "One jury decides death. One jury decides life For the state's district attor- neys, who must handle the resen- tenting hearings, it has been frus- trating. In the McKoy case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state judges had erred in telling jurors that they must unanimously agree on mitigating factors?those facts that might lead them to recom- mend life in prison instead of death. Since that ruling, jurorshave had to weigh those factors even if they are not all in agreement. In a re-sentencing hearing last April in Alamance County, District Attorney Steve Balog watched a jury give convicted killer El-Amin Ahmad Ali two life sen- tences. Ahmad had been sentenced to die in 1988 for ambushing his aunt and uncle in their Burlington home and then shooting them to death. "We try these cases, we try them by the rules as they were handed down to us Balog said. "And in the case of the McKoy ruling, the courts send them back to us because they de- cide to change the rules. That's pretty frustrating The number of death sen- tences reaffirmed so far is a "phe- nomenal" victory for the state's prosecutors, said Ms. Byers, who argued before the N.C. Supreme Courtagainst giving automatic life sentences under McKoy. In many cases, years have passed since the original trials, she said, and the state has much work- ing against it ? the emotion is gone, the prosecutors sometimes are new to the case, some witnesses cannot be found. "We're talking about stale cases Ms. Byers said. But Hunter says he has seen no change in the quality or quan- tity of evidence and testimony in the cases he has followed. The resentencingshave caused anguish for others, however. Convicted killer Perrie Simpson now has been sentenced todeath three times. Thedaughter of his victim, the Rev. Jean E. Darter, hopes this time the sen- tence is final. On Aug. 28, 1984, Doris Darter Faircloth found the beaten body of her 92-year-old father in the bedroom of his Reidsville home. In the eight years since the murder, Mrs. Faircloth has had to conjure up those horrorsagain and again for police, for lawyers, for juries.

Four members of a family heading home from a birthday party died Sunday when an off-duty Char- lotte police officer crashed into their car, police said. The officer had been drink- ing and was speeding, Charlotte police said. Five other family members and the officer were injured. The accident happened at 1:15 a.m. when a car driven by off-duty Officer Jimena Davila, 22, crossed the center line and crashed into a car filled with members of a Monroe family, police said. That car then strucka third car, injuring one of its two occupants, who were also family members coming from the party. The injured were all taken to Carolinas Medical Center, where one child was in serious condition. Dead at the scene were Jo Neal Williams, 54, and her son Roger, 28, of Los Angeles; Ashley Coffey of Monroe, 6; and Jasmine Thompson of Charlotte, 5. Injured were Yashida Torres of Monroe, 9, in serious condition; Candice Torres of Monroe, 6, in fair condition; and Antwone Coffey of Monroe, 12, in good condition; and Davila, in good condition. Treated and released were Antonio Thompson, 12, and Jennie Williams, 50. Robinson was not injured. Police say Davila was driv- ing her personal car when the accident occurred. Davila was traveling 65 mph in a 45 mph zone and had been drinking, according to po- lice reports. Investigators will turn their findings over to the Mecklenburg County district attorney, Capt. Judy Dinkins said. Private engineers may plan landfill GREENSBORO (AP) ? The understaffed state Division of Solid Waste Management is consider- ing hiring private engineering firms to review a heap of landfill applications. Officials at the division and the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources are expected todecide within the next two weeks whether to contract with a handful of engineering firms, said William Meyer, direc- tor of the solid waste division. "We have a backlog, and we need some thing done relatively quickly Meyer told The News & Record of Greensboro. The engineering firms would be responsible for reviewing de- sign and construction plans for as many as 10 landfills. The division has 35 applications pending. State environmental watch- ALFREDO'S New York Pizza By The Slice dog groups worry that hiring pri- vate engineers to review applica- tions submitted by their peers could result in a less-than-thor- ough scrutiny of landfill propos- als. "These things are so impor- tant, they need to have some out- side review said John Runkle, a Chapel Hill attorney specializing in environmental issues. "I think at the very least a firm that would be doing the re- viewing should not have a pend- ing application said Steve Grathwohl, president of the Con- servation Council of North Caro- lina. The waste d i vision is relying on six reviewers and one supervi- sor to handle a workload that is growing every day, Meyer said. Thecrush of landfill applica- tions is due in large part to new federal regulations that take effect Oct. 9. Those regulations will in- crease the cost and liability of clos- inglandfills, so some counties want to close their current landfills be- fore October and open new facili- ties that meet federal guidelines. But there's no way the solid wastedivisionstaffwould beable to accommodate the 11 counties that want to open new landfills by October, Meyer said. "We'd be able to do three or four he said. Hiring private engineers to help handle the workload would mean all 11 counties could possi- bly meet their deadlines, some of the division's backlog would be cleared and the division maybe could save money by forgoing the hiring of more state workers, Meyer said. "We're looking primarily at efficiency in state government he said. Costs for the firms' help could range from $80,000 and $120,000, Meyer said. Although all qualified com- panies would be eligible to submit bids for the job, Meyer said the companies would have to be fa- miliar with North Carolina's land- fill procedures. That means the engineering firms would either have to have submitted landfill applications previously or have applications pending. But Meyer says the engineer- ing firms' role will be very lim- ited. "We'll spell out a checklist they'll have to check and certify back to us he said. "They'll sub- mit it back to the state and well make the final decision on the ap- plication DOWNTOWN 218 E. 5th St752-0022 New HAPPY LUNCH SPECIAL ?

U.S. troops detained a leading ally of Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid Monday and confis- cated a rocket launcher and other weapons. Col.

All 32 people were freed after questioning, he said. Clashes last month between factions led by Jess and Mohamed Said Hirsi, known as Gen. Mor- gan, near the southern port of Kismayu violated a cease-fire and scuttled preliminary peace talks. U.S. and Belgian forces in- tervened to stop the fighting, de- stroying several vehicles that Peck and others said at the time be- longed to Morgan.

Six weeks after the Secu- rity Council approved it, the U.N. Operation in Mozambique has barely started its task of getting a destitute, war-ravaged nation ready for elections. Fewer than 100 of the 7,500 people involved had arrived by the end of January and the $332 million budget awaited approval at U.N. headquarters in New York. Unless everything speeds up dramatically, it seems unlikely that elections can be organized by Oc- tober, as stipulated in the 1992 cease-fire agreement that ended 16 years of civil war. Aldo Ajello, the U.N. special representative, says the elections almost certainly will be delayed until April or May of 1994. In mis decaying capital, sur- rounded by the mud and reed shanties of war refugees, people fix the blame on a variety of tar- gets, from U.N. bureaucratic wran- gling to the destroyed infrastruc- ture. "We are very disappointed said Manfredo di Camerana, the Italian ambassador, who played a leading role in peace talks. "It's very difficult to know from the United Nations when they are in position to start U.N. officials agree with lo- cal leaders that events in Yugosla- via, Angola, Cambodia and Soma- lia have distracted U.N. attention from Mozambique. But few seem todoubt their ability tobringabout Mozambique's first multiparty elections and start the reconstruc- tion process. They say they will take what- ever time is necessary to avoid the failures of other U.N. efforts in Yugoslavia and Angola. "There is consensus to look on Mozambique as a very impor- tant operation said Eric Lubin, chief adviser to Ajello. "It could be the first operation that's success- ful for a long time Civil war in Mozambique began after independence from Portugal in 1975 and pit the Marx- ist government against an anti- communist rebel movement known as Renamo. Agreement by the govern- ment to allow multiple political parties and free elections led to the cease-fire accord signed Oct 4 in Rome by President Joaquim Chissano and Afonso Dhlakama, the Renamo leader. The peace plan, negotiated with the help of Italian diplomats, the Roman Catholic church and the United Nations, calls for creat- ing a new army under joint control and holding elections under U.N. supervision, all within a year. dent Government Association, re- ported that a man entered her home Sunday night, bruised her cheek, busted her lip, cut her face with a knife and toldhershewasalliedwith the wrong people. Two months earlier, a cross was burned on the lawn of the white student's off-campus house, and threatening notes with the phrase "machine rules" were put in her mailbox and on her door.

Knopke said that for several months, a number of people have madeallegationsof threats. Although some blame the Machine, a coalition of members of 27 fraternities and sororities, Knopke stopped short of mat. But, he said, "There is an un- dercurrent involving the so-called Machine, and it will be discussed The Machine-backed candi- date for student president, Neil Duthie, said he had no part in the alleged attack and does not believe the Machine wasresponsible. "I think it's really horrible it happened he said. Miss Riley belongs to Phi Mu sorority, one of 48 Greek organiza- tions at Alabama and one those that make up the Machine. But the Ma- chine endorsed Duthie, a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity.

Sum- mary of the test available in Rm. 371, Sports Medicine Bldg. wmm0 ??.?!?ki?i ? m The East Carolinian February 9, 1993 Opinion Page 6 Safety should be prime concern at ECU Safety technology has finally made a debut on the ECU campus. Currently, the Art Building is being used as a test building for a new security system. All outside doors have been updated with mag- netic key card entries. Individuals must now obtain a key card inside the building and use it to get inside between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. The cards will be similar to credit cards, or the debit cards currently being used for dining services ? a magnetic strip encoded with a password will be on the back of the card. Students would run their card through a small rectangular scanner located next to the door. The computer would then read the password and admit the person if it had the password on file. Exiting students would follow the same procedure. Computers would also log on the time and individual's name of the card being used. This new feature should greatly reduce the amount of people roaming the halls of the Art Building at all hours of the night. Previously, the building was accessible by anyone as long as they could find a propped-open door. These doors are still being found propped open, but hopefully, the number will cbjrunish in time. This new safety feature has been the by- product of a much needed upgrade in the tele- communications system here at ECU. In the future, students may find that they can not only feel safer in buildings on campus late at night, but also telephone in their class registration and their homework electronically. If this new security system works out, plans are for additional buildings tobe fitted with it as well. Residence halls, other buildings where students may need to work late, classroom build- ings ? all of these could very well be fitted with these card scanners. In time, the whole campus could be tied in to an up-to-date, technologi- cally advanced system. This system could very well solve the majority of safety problems on this campus at night. The accessibility of some buildings on this campus ? at any hour, day or night ? is scary at best. Anyone can walk in at any time and rummage through classrooms, offices or stu- dios. The current telephone system located on campus forces individuals to stand and wait for a response. If a suspicious individual is follow- ing you, the last thing you do is stop in a lone area and wait for someone to answer your call for help. If this card scanning system fails in its test, the university needs to take a long and hard look at other options. The safety of students?at any time?should be one of the prime concerns that the administration has. Nobody wants to come to a college where fear and terror run rampant and unchecked. GOOD LUCK By Amy E. Wirtz Family leave bill considered positive step Clinton declared an end to grid-lock government last week with the passing of the family lea ve bill. On Thursday, the Senate ap- proved the bill, after decisively rejecting Republican efforts to amend it with a proviso barring gays from U.S. military service. This proviso certainly did not come as a shock to many. In a voice vote, the Senate agreed to a six-month study by the Pentagon and the Senate Armed Services Committee of Clinton's plan to lift the prohibi- tion on gays in the military. This lovely little proviso was tacked on by conservatives supporting the ban and by those hoping to defeat the long-awaited family leave bill. They failed. If you remember correctly, former president Bush twice ve- toed similar family leave bills in 1990and againlastyear.lt became a major campaign issue for Presi- dent Clinton with women's groups, organized labor and some moderate Republicans, who said it would help working mothers. Undoubtedly, the focus on the bill gained for Clinton an unwavering amountof support from those frus- trated with Bush's butt-dragging in this and in most issues. The bill requires companies with more than 50 employees to grant workers as much as 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a new- bom or newly adopted child or a seriously ill family member. Also included in this bill is protection from instances that nor- mally may have jeopardized a workers job: if their own health condition prevented them from performing at their jobs, the com- pany must now allow them time off. This bill now insures workers thatthey will have the same job or an equivalent post upon their re- turn. Itmaysound minor, but this stipulation is very important. The possibilities for workers getting taken advantage of were enor- mous. Opponents argue that it would raise business costs and deprive workers of other benefits they might prefer. What? How could a bill that is so necessary and so beneficial to all workers possibly hinder the progress of a company or its employees? Addi- tional expenses, as history has shown, will be minimal. Some companies could even save money on recruitment and training by keeping experienced workers rather than allowing them to quit for family emergencies. Now if we just sat down and thought about the absolute sense that this bill makes, we may pos- sibly get somewhere asa nation. It protects people that might other- wise be treated unjustly; some- thing that our fair government is based on, or was, the last time I checked. Secondly, should an em- ployee be punished for doing something so noble as caring for a sick family member of a newborn baby? What's the point in having businesses that thrive on the fam- ily unit if there are no families around to uphold their existence? Family anything has been dragged through the Big Govern- ment mud for as long as I can remember. Finally something is happening that can have a posi- tive effect on people in their life- time. This bill is the cornerstone for the future of families as we know them and it can only help in the ever-growing populace of single-parent families. Some may argue that this bill will lead to paid leave in all situations. I don't see that happening anytime soon. If it took mis long to put a bill into efLt,itwould takeeven longer to pas. a bill with such weight as that. I applaud this bill. It came at an opportune time and is an apt reflection on our values as a na- tion. Let's hope this is a sign of things to come. The East Carolinian James R.

There was a giant stain on the screen, probably from a soda tossed up thereby a conscientious patron (see above), and the stain Concession prices at movies empty wallet Rude patrons, broken seats, dirty screens and bullets flying outside all combine to force one viewer to his VCR instead of the big screen. As part of an ongoing effort to produce quality columns for you readers out there, I decided to take in t movie Friday night. Loaded Weapon 1,1 think it was. Maybe I'm getting old, but it seems like movies and the movie- going experience has changed a lot in the past several years. I spent many weekends of my childhood inside those darkened auditori- ums where monsters lurked around every corner, great space battles were fought and cowboys rode off into the sunset. For me, the motion picture theater was a magical place; unfortunate some of that magic has disap- peared. The decline started with the patrons. There was a time when people attending a movie ap- proached the situation like they were going to a library. No, the idea that one should be quiet in a movie theater was not published in a manual or legis- lated by Congress: it was simply understood that the theater was not your personal living room. Now you'll be lucky if you can hear most of the dialogue in the movie. Adding to the modern movie-going experience is the gen- eral state ofdisrepair of many the- aters. I went to one last week and had to try four different seats be- fore I found one that either didn't recline all the way parallel to the There was a time when people attending a movie approached the situation like they were going to a library it was simply understood that the theater was not your personal living room. was placed in such a way as to make every actor in a close-up look like Michael Gorbachev. Real nice. All of these iniquities wouldn't be so bad, however, if you didn't have to be CEO of Disney to afford to take in a flick. Five dollars for a movie ticket isn't so bad. It's the extortionate price of concession items mat saps your funds. I walked in Friday night af- ter paying $10 admission for my girlfriend and me and proceeded to the snack bar to purchase my requisite fountain drink and box, er bag of popcorn. I looked at the prices of the drinks: Small- Si .50; Medium-$2.00;Large-$3.00; and the super-jumbo Flick Flagon for $4.50 Popcornpriceswereequally shocking: a small bag was $150, and if you wanted a large bag you had to have a major credit card. I stared at the menu a few seconds in quiet disbelief, then asked the clerk, "Are those prices in U.S. currency?" Without a second's delay he wittily replied, "Huh?" "Just give me two small Sprites and a small bag of pop- corn I said. The lad handed me my order and said, "That'll be four fifty Incredible. And some of these places have the nerve to post signs reading "No outside food or drinks allowed inside Yeah, right. - Motion picture theaters used to be havens, a place to escape from reality in the cool darkness and forget about the trying world outside. But a few months ago, while a friend of mine was standing in the parking lot of a local theater, a fight broke ou t among some movie patrons and a bullet found its way through a fender of his car. Luck- ily, he wasn't injured. Last sum- mer, a movie theater in a nearby city had its front plate-glass win- dow shattered by patrons battling ou tside after the showing of a con- troversial film. So allow me to sum up: rude patrons, broken seats, dirty screens, ridiculously inflated snack prices and bullets flying around outside the lobby. Over the last decade, movie theater at- tendance has declined, and is it any wonder? Some of that won- derful magic is still there, but it's fading fast. I'm going to go see what's new at the video store.

Antenna's Hideout (Mam- moth Records) is enigma pop, tediously crafted with thought- ful and meticulous artistry. On the far-reaching other hand, Kid Rock's debut LP The Polyfuze Method (Continuum Records) bleeds of cantankerous, trashy white rap thoroughly raunched down in mindless vulgaritiesand is musically flimsy enough to be deemed petty junk throwaway snivel. The seemingly unrelated con- trast of Hideout and The Polyfuze Method is stark enough to war- rant an analogous discussion of the polarity of pathetic versus gen u ine a rt and i ts (tliei r) place(s) in pop music, and perhaps more pertinently, vice versa. Antenna's three members, bassistvocalist Jake Smith, drummer Freda Love (formerly of Blake Babies), and singer, songwriter, guitarist John Strohm (Lemonheads, Blake Babies), think hard about the eclectic catchies they write, record and crank out live. Hideout, the Bloomington, Indband'ssecond LP, employs the clever, some- times quirky, special sound ef- fects and embellishments of R.E.Ms Murmur (compare Hideout's gurgly radio squelch sampling, dawdlingpipe organs and zappy feedback loops to Murwur'selecrrified billiard balls, backward-tracked piano and endlessly layered vocals), yet re- tainsa consistently starched and organically poignant pop reso- nance of, say Elvis Costello's My Aim is True. Antenna'sa rt seems to thrive on a self-imposed minimalism, in which beyond the four-string bass,six-string-guitar, five-piece drum set and one-voice singing that seldom two-tracks or har- monizes, that forces the creative process to assume a rigorous, al- most adamant, role in the songcraftingand performanceof Huieout's 12 tunes.

Gray Gallery is host- ing a solo exhibition of Phyllis Rosenblatt's preparatory drawings and paintings of complex, panoramic views of New York City architecture. Rosenbiatt's exhibition will be dis- played in the gallery from Jan. 29 until March 25,1993. A public lecture will be held on Feb. 25, at 7 p.m to discuss and explore her works in depth. The interesting aspect of the exhibi- tion is the opportunity to see the works- in-progress side of the art. By having both the drawings and the paintings, viewers can compare the early stages of the works to the final products. "On theaverage, when an artist has a showing, usually we see only the fin- ished piece, therefore a viewer may not realize ti e pages of studying that led up to the finished product said Kim Tho- mas, an ECU art student. In comparing the prepara tory d raw- ings and the finished paintings, novices and expertsofartall agree thatthe works of the New York City architecture are uniquely intricate. The attention spent on detail shows the many hours that it took to bring the Big Apple to scale. Rosenblatt's work has been nation- allyexhibited in: America Art Today.

Basketball cards coming on strong By Cliff Coffey Staff Writer What's bigger than football cards, al- most as big as baseball cards, and a lot bigger than NASCAR cards? Basketball cards ? today they are a big business. Unlike most other industries, the sports card industry has kept growing in the past three years. With players like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Clyde Drexler gaining more and more popularity, and rookies like Derrick Coleman, Larry Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal coming into the fold, basketball cards are at an all time high. Michael Jordan's Fleer rookie card is fetching a price of $700 and David Robinson's Hoops rookie is already up to S35, according to Clifton Rouse at Heroes Are Here, Too in downtown Greenville. At one time Julius "Dr. " Irving was said to have saved the NBA. In recent years, though, it had to be saved again and Michael Jordan did so in a big wa v. Unlike Irving, who only had help from the likes of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, Jordan has had a lot of help promoting interest in the NBA, and the card companies have taken advantage of it Front Row, Classic, Courtside, Fleer, Topps, Skybox and Upper Deck all pro- duce basketball cards.

You feel grouchy and know it's all because of stress. What can you do? The relaxation techniques described below can help rel ieve both the physica 1 and emotional tension that often fol- lows stressful situations. RELAX YOUR BODY The next time you feel the effects of too much stress, try some of the follow- ing ways to help you relax. ? Deep Breathing ? While sitting, lying down or standing, close your eyes and breathe in slowly. Let the breath out for a count of 5-10 seconds. Take 10 of these super-relaxers any time you feel tense. ? Stretching ? Practice simple stretches such as the "neck stretch stretch your neck by gently roll ing your head in a half -circle, start inga tone side, then dropping your chin to your chest, then to the other side. ? Exercise ? All kinds of physical activity ? hiking, running, bowling, walking, etc. ? help to reduce stress. ? Take a bath ? Ask household members to allow you at least 30 min- utes of uninterrupted time. ? Get a massage ? A massage is a wonderful way to get rid of physical tension. Professional massage therapists generally take 30 minutes to an hour, and will work on specific areas of ten- sion, such as lower back or neck. The American Massage Therapy As- sociation runs a national referral service of qualified massage therapists. Ameri- can Massage Therapy Association, 1130 W. North Shore Avenue, Chicago, H. 60626-5670 (phone 312-761-2682). ? Eat Well ? Reduce caffeine (in coffee, black tea, chocolate) and alcohol intake. Find out if your diet is well- balanced and take steps to eat healthily to help reduce stress. RELAX YOUR EMOTIONS Relaxing your emotions can be just as important as relaxing your body in relieving stress. ? Talk ? Take the time to talk with a friend or partner. Express feelingsyou u might have been holding in. Listen care- fully to your partner. Walking in a quiet neighborhood or park can limit distrac- tions. ? Laugh ? Go to a comedy club, see a funny movie or spend time with a funny friend. ? Cry ? Crying can be as good a release as laughing. If you haven't cried in a long time, try listening to sad music, watching a sad movie or writing about a sad experience. ? Read ? A good book is a great escape. Reading a tear-jerker or comedy can help release pent-up emotions. ? Do something you love ? When you enjoy yourself, whether it's garden- ing, going to the beach or seeing friends, you relax your emotions. CREATE STRESS REDUCERS These are just a few stress reducers you can try. You can create your own healthy stress reducers (without alcohol or drugs), or use those listed above. You'll feel better and stay healthier if you do. Parlay International Stress is the response of your body to all demands made upon it. Understanding these demandsand theireffectscanhelpyou learn to recognize your own "stress response as well aswaystocounteract distress toleadahealthier life. THE BASIC STRESS RESPONSE Your body responds to all stress, both positive or negative, by trying to get back to normal. Deperdingon the stressor (whatever causes the stress response), hormones, like adrenafin,may surgeYcxirheartbeatandblood pressure will probably increase. Your blood sugar rises. These pttysical responses helped prehistoric humansurvive by helping them runaway faster or fight harder. By the time they were done, their bodies had discharged the tension of the moment and their stress response was followed by relaxation. PHYSICAL EFFECTS Today, weexperiencestressors which are very different from those early survival ones. Yet positive stressors such as getting married, or negative stressors such as family conflicts, still cause the same physiological fightorflight response. Ifa stressful situation goes on for too long without any relief, you might experience dis- eases and disorders, such as colds, ulcers, asthma, heart attack or stroke. You may feel tired, irritable, depressed or anxious. You may have trouble with sleeping, eating (either too much or too little), drinking and smoking. MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS There are many ways to keep all the negativeeffectsof different stressors toa mini- mum, including: ? Taketimeforyourself to relax each day. ? Exercise regularly, after getting your doctor's okay. ? Learn to "let go" of things which are cwtsideyourcontrol.Learntoadapttochanges. ? Learn to takeaction when you am make a difference. ? Avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, fats and sugar. Don't smoke. ? Go away for the weekend. ? Give your time to something or some- one you believe in.

BASKETBALL Continued from page 7 sumer buy more cards than they normally would in a chance that they might get that one special holo- gram, or gold card, or such. Retail- ers like this gimmick, but the buy- ingpublicisgettinga little tired of it. Fleer Ultra offers a set of Scottie Pippen cards, All NBA set, and an Award Winner set in their packs, only the chances of getting any of the cards is 1:14,121, and 1:42 re- spectively. Upper Deck has many more sub-sets, though. They offer a holo- gram set, a Wilt Chamberlain Bas- ketball Heroes set,an All Rookie set, a Tec 1 MVP set, a Jerry West Se- lects set, and a special print card of Bird's and Magic Johnson's retire- ment. The odds of getting any of these cardsis, respectively, 1:12,1:8, 1:18,1:21, and 1:46. As you can see, these cards are very limited, and very sought after. To get all of the cards of all of the subsets would require a substantial bank account. This is only one of the reasons that many people have abandoned the idea of collecting whole sets of cards and turned to their favorite players. The stumbling block with this is that most of the "favorite" players are the same for everybody. Rouse said that Jordan, Magic, Bird, Larry Johnson, Kendall Gill, and Scottie Pippen are the most sought after players. The rookies most asked for are O'Neal, Mourning, Laettner,TomGugliotta,and Hubert Davis. Becausethesameplayersare everybody's favorite, those players cards quickly raise in their prices. O'Neal's Upper Deck card isalready $12, and Larry Johnson's Upper Deck rookie is ten. As basketball, and the number of new card companies, gets bigger with each passing year, basketball cards will only get more and more popular, maybe even eventually eclipsing baseball cards.

On the other side of town, how- ever, Kid Rock's LP earns wicked anti-praise from this reviewer, and hopefully elsewhere. It's the stuff fertilizer is made of; it's freedom of sleaze in action and should be likewise shelved deep in the reject septic tank of indie label flops. laLrzHrzs i Juau SUNDAY FEB. 14th J " DOZEN ROSES $29.95 v Same low priee as last year!

On the other hand, ECU was 1-6 in CAA play coming into Saturday night's game and appears at the bottom of most CAA team categories. Some expected a JMU blowout. Oth- ers realized that statistics are just a pile of numbers. ECU exploded out of the gate play- ing hard nosed defense against the fast paced Dukes. "They're a running team and keeping the score in the 50s was what won the game Ronnell Peterson said after his team held JMU to a mere 57 total points, 31 below their league lead- ing average. Defense was not the only thing that contributed to the impressive Pirate vic- tory. ECU also dominated the offensive boards. Center Ike Copeland led the Pi- rates with 5 offensive rebounds, which matched JMU's total output. "Weneeded Ralph's rebounding tonight JMU coach "Lefty" Driesell said, referring to assis- tant coach Ralph Sampson, a former NBA and U.Va. standout. After ECU shot just50 percent from the free throw line in the first half, the games critical moments came down to just that- free throws. With 19 seconds left, Kareem Richardson goes to the line shooting a one and one. Richardson sinks both shots to put the Pirates ahead 58- 54, which killed all hopes of a JMU victory somewhat. On JMU'snext pos- session, Darren McLinton hit a huge three-pointer pulling JMU within one. The clock winded down to :08 when JMU sent Kareem Richardson to the line once more. This time he missed. The Dukes alertly call a time out with just :03 on the clock. Regarding memo- ries of the recent double overtime loss to UNC Wilmington, ECU dug down and found one last defensive stand. Freshman Darren McLinton's shot fell just short and assured the Pirates their biggest victory under head coach Eddie Payne. "We deserved to win. We played harder and more intelligently in the last three ball games than we have all year Payne said after ECU's win over JMU. ECU improves to 2-6 in the CAA, while JMU falls to 7-1. Hip, hop, hooray! Ho! Hay! ECU caught JMU with their dukes down and played the Riddick Bowe on 'em.

The Pirates played hard but fell 72-63 in a disappointing loss. The game belonged to Richmond the entire evening as ECU could not stay with the Spiders de- fensively. The Pirates also only contested "Wfe THUSf CTeOte seven of Richmond's a. ?? -f first-half shots "When d greater SCflSe Of sacrifice on and offthe court' Eddie Payne, Head coach shooters, they're go- ing to get a high per- centage of shots Coach Eddie Payne said in reference to the Spider's impressive 69 percent field goal shooting in the first half. Richmond's offensive scheme, com- bined with poor Pirate free throw shoot- ing (55 percent) were the deciding fac- tors in the Spider's win. Well aware of Richmond's shooting in the first half, ECU came out after half- time with a more up-tempo game. The Spiders, who led by as much as 16 in the first half, saw ECU cut that lead to 3 with 3:36 left and momentum swinging in favor of the Pirates. "We tried to pick them up full court and press more to create turnovers and pick up the pace of the game. It worked for a while. We cut it close but we just couldn't win it in the end Anton Gill said. Richmond's Michael Hodges then took it upon himself to score seven of the Spider's nine unan- swered points that de- stroyed all hopes of a Pirate comeback. Consistency has been a big factor for ECU all season. "We must create a greater sense of sacrifice on and off the court Coach Payne said. Payne feels that sacri- fice and maturity will enable the Pirates to win consi stently.The Pirates go on the road to face CAA opponents American and GMU before returning to Greenville to host Va.

ECU was able to field two teams for mis tourna- ment due to their large member- ship. The Gold team put forth a strong showing, but the Purple squad reigned victorious. The eight-team tournament in- cluded the two ECU squads, UNC- Chapel Hill, The Chapel Hill Pio- neers, Jacksonville Unidas, the Winston Salem Wildcards, UNC- Wilmington and a team from the Marine Corps. The Purple team opened their Saturday competition with a 2-0 victory over UNC-W. Goals were scored by Kiki Anderson and Toni DeRose.Their next opponent, Win- ston Salem, fell 5-0 to a potent Pi- rate offensive showing. The Purple squad fell 1-0 to the Chapel Hill Pioneers, who were undefeated on the first day of competition. After tying their counterpart Gold squad, a crushing 7-0 defeat of the Marine ECU inks recruits for '93 football season unit, a controversial loss to Jack- sonville and a victory over Chapel Hill, the Purple squad entered their second day of competition seeded second, and the Gold unit, despite a strong defensive showing on the first day of competition, ended Sat- urday seeded fifth. On Sunday the two teams en- tered a process of single-elimina- tion play where ECU Purple was faced with itsclosestvictory against Winston Salem. The Puple squad and the Wildcards battled through two overtimes until an ECU pen- alty kick sealed a hard-fought vic- tory. The Gold squad fell in its first outing with Jacksonville Unidas. The Purplesquad then moved on to meet UNC-Chapel Hill in the semifinals as goalkeeper Jaime Pierce shut out Chapel Hill's of- fense and the Purple squad went to another 1-0 win.The squad was set to meet the formidable Chapel Hill Pioneers, who had allowed only three goals in two days of play. An Amy Warren score, combined with intense defense, led ECU past the Pioneers, and into their second championship in two years. Sports Information Department &uk 3 0?4 (& 3 04 C&4.

(AP) ? Miami Dolphins running back Bobby Humphrey, recently arrested in a Geor- gia drug case, was shot in the leg Mon- day after an apparent argument with a man who was riding in his car. Humphrey, a star player for Ala- bama from 1985 to 1988, was released from a hospital after being treated for a wound just above theknee. He was shot with a .38-caliber pistol, police said. Police said they were questioning a man but refused to release his name because he had not been charged. Police Chief Larry Rollan said it would be up to Humphrey whether any charges will be filed. Humphrey'scar was impounded by police until they could get a search war- rant to check it out. Humphrey's attorney, John Swearingen of Columbus, Ga said the running back attended a weekend trade show in New Orleans with a former Alabama teammate, Mark Petties. Swearingen said Humphrey was re- turning to Birmingham, his home town, for a doctor's appointment later Mon- day when the shooting occurred. Rollan said officers were alerted to a problem on Interstate 65 near the Ala- baster exit about 7:10 a.m. by a woman who called on a cellular phone and said, "I think they are having a fight When police arrived at the scene, he said, Humphrey was lying on the side of the road with a gunshot wound to the leg.

"Being accused of something you didn't commitand gainingthat much media attention, I don't tliink it does any- body much good Lindros said. "I know I never did it and I had people to back me up. It felt good Morgan suggested Lindros drop coun- tercharges against Lynn Nunney, a 24-year- old factory worker, who alleged he spat and poured beer on her last Nov. 29. "The dispute could have been resolved that night without criminal charges Mor- gan said. "Unfortu- nately, the positions of bothpartieshardened Nunney said the incident occurred after she refused to make room for the NHL player on a packed nigh tcl ub dance floor at Koo Koo Bananas in Whitby, about 36 miles east of Toronto.

In trial testimony ending Thursday, wit- nessesoffered sharply conflicting versionsof events. Nunney said Lindros repeatedly pushed her toward the edge of the dance floorand emptied a bottleof beer onherhead and spat beer in her face when she tried to stop him. Her testimony was corroborated by her sister and a friend. Lindros testified that Nunney started the spat, pouring beer on his back without provocation. He said he tried to retaliate by "sprinkling" beer on her. Five defense wit- nesses, including three who hadn't met Lindros before, backed his story. pened to be driving past, had stopped and was holding a revolver when police arrived. Humphrey, who became Alabama's all-time leading rusher during a career that covered 1985-88, was arrested Jan. 31 in a Columbus, Ga hotel on charges of cocaine possession, aggravated assault and destruction of hotel property. He also was charged with giving police a false name. The assault charge stemmed from a fight with former Alabama teammate Vantriese Davis of Phenix City, Ala. Humphrey, who was released on $12,500 bond, did not appear before au- thorities as scheduled last week in Co- lumbus. The 26-year-old Humphrey was acquired by the Dolphins in a 1992 trade that sent running back Sammie Smith to Denver. Humphrey had 102 carries for 471 yards and a touchdown and caught 54 passes for 507 yards and a TD for the AFC East champion Dolphins. Basketball Hall of Fame adds six to the list of elite players (AP) ?The Basketball Hall of Fame has added Julius Erving, Bill Walton, Walt "Bells" Bellamy, Dan Issel, Dick McGuire and Calvin Murphy to its ranks. In 1976, Erving, one of three players in pro basketball history to score more than 30,000 career points, joined the Philadel- phia 76ers. An 11-time NBA All-Star, he was named the league's most valuable player in 1981 and led the 76ers to the 1983 NBA championship. Nagging injuries slowed Walton's ca- reer. But in 1977, he helped the Trail Blaz- ers win the NBA championship and was named the league's most valuable player in 1978. Bellamy, a 1961 graduate of Indiana and member of the 1960U.S. Olympic team, scored 20,941 points and had 14,241 re- bounds over a 14-year pro career with Chicago, New York, Detroit, Atlanta and New Orleans. Issel, now coach of the Denver Nug- gets, averaged more than 22.3 points per game during a 15-year pro career that in- cluded five years with the Kentucky Colo- nels of the ABA and 10 years with the Nuggets. McGuire, one of the game's premiere point guards, had 2,950 assists in an 11- year pro career, including eight years with the Knicks and three years with Detroit. Murphy, at 5-foot-9, was one of the first small men to make a big impact on the modem game. He still holds the NBA record for consecutive free throws at 78.

I II 'Ml II Illl ARE YOU READY TO BECOME A STATISTIC? The disease of AIDS has reached epidemic proportions; researchers and experts state that within this generatit n even'person in the country will know at least one person who has AIDS. The implications of this prediction are staggering; AIDS is not just something a person can disregard. This disease has brought the issue of safer sex to the forefront of our society, forcing people to think about subjects that otherwise they would drop as uncomfortable. The purpose of this four-part safei sex campaign is simply put ? to save lives. TtieEast ('arolinian is not in any way promoting sex; what we are promoting is even student's knowledge of their choice between abstinence and safer sex. Only through information, knowledge and common sense can a person make this choice, one of the most important decisions heshe will make in his . just how prevalent AIDS is in this country. Statistics show that this ilisea.se is growing at an alarming rate ? regardless of age, gender, race or lifestyle. Statistics may impersonalize the issue, but cannot diminish the truth behind it. Every day, more and more people are being diagnosed with the HIV virus. Through information and education, a person can insure that heshe will not become a victim ? and another statistic ? of The second part of this four-part campaign is to enlighten people to this deadly disease.

In the United States, a close look at the statistics regarding the AIDS disease reveal many startling and frightening facts. No longer can this disease be considered a "gay" or "drug user" disease. All trends of life are subject to AIDS ? from men to women, from blacks to whites, from children to adults. Statistics of women who are infected with the HIV vims are on the rise in the United States. Studies have shown that the risk of HIV infection through heterosexual intercourse appears to be greater for a woman with an HlV-infected partner than fora man with an HlV-infected partner.Ihesestudies also postulate that women may be more susceptible to infection because semen contains higher concentrationsoftheHIVvirus. Also, womenhavemoreexpiised areas of mucosal surface. By the end of the decade, experts predict that as many w mei i as men will be diagnosed with AIDS worldwide. By the year 199 . over 15,(XX) women were reported to have contracted All S. AIDS has been ranked as one of the five leading causes of death am mg women ages 15-44 (CDC). Women with AIDS, oftenunawarethat they are at risk or infected, die two times faster than men. Though more female-related casesare being reported, this in no way means that they are the only high-risk group. In the United States, AIDS is the second leading cause of death among men 25- 44 years of age. Forty-six percent of Americans wi t h A1DS are people of color. WHO (World Health Oiganization) reports that SO percent of HIV transmission worldwide is heterosexual. Any andall walks of life are at risk to this crippling disease. Education is thekey to preventing further spreading oft he 1IIV virus and AIDS. Half of all American teenagers have sex by the age of 17. Pneumonia is the leading killer of pei ple with All )S ? it is 10 times cheaper to prevent it than it is to treat it. Some other statistics hit home on a wider perspective T More Americans have died of AIDS than the number of people whodied in the Gulf, Vietnam and Korean wars combined. T Doctors diagnosed the first 100,000 cases of AIDS in the United States during the first eight years of the epidemic. In less than three years, the next 100,(XK) cases were diagnosed. Experts expect the next 100,(XX) cases to be diagnosed in less than 12 months. T By the year 2(XX), ten million cases of AIDS are expected to be reported worldwide. In that same time, forty million men, women and children will be infected with the HIV vims. ? More than I60,(XX people have died oi AIDS and over 2(X),(XX) Americans have now been dia million Americans are believed to be infected with ti virus. Ninety-eight percent of Americans have admitted that they need more information on where togo if exposed to the HIV vims. Information on this and other AIDS-related matters, like testing and susceptibility, are available at health centers.

Tiie student has given The East ' 'arolinian permission to print this letter with the hope that other students will realize the tremendous risk tliey may run by having unprotected sex. Please understand that there are may people who are HIV positive and live meaningful and productive lives despite their diagnosis. How- ever, if a person does need supt then are resources available on campus as well as in tht Greenville community. In just a few moments, I will know whether I am HIV positive or negative. I do not know what to think or say. I pray that I am HIV negative because I do not know what I would do if I was HIV positive. It would almost seem like my life would be over and in reality, it would be, because there is no known cure. I can't believe I was so stupid and careless with all of my sexual partner(s). I should have known my partner(s) better than I did. It is hard to believe that a person is willing to give up their life for just a few moments. Over the last month, I have thought long and hard about what a relationship is supposed to be about. I think now I finally realize that sex is nothing to mess around with. One should love their parti ; .villing to carry on a commitment for life. St ' stop to think hapi me, today, it could all comt It can't imat n found ! think I ? ntinue li 11 just WHAT ABOUT TESTING? In Pitt County, 81 cases of HIVAIDS.were reported as of December 1992. People continue to be misinformed and lack knowledge as to where toget tested and what the test result means. A detailed breakdown oit lie disease and testing can help to alleviate some of the fear surrounding this disease. If a person has engaged in unprotected sexual intercourse, shared needlesor syringes or been infected withasexuaUy transmit- ted disease in the past,safet) dictates the need to be tested. Only if one has nexvr shared needles, nevei had unprotected sex or nevei done anything that could place himher at risk, can heshe be sure that the test is not necessary. The test for AIDS is actually a test tor the HIV antibodies. A person may be infected with the HIV vims and not knowitbecause having HIV and having AIDS are not the same thing. People infected with the HIV vims may or may notget AIDS, but they will remain infected for the rest i their lives. Tests geared to detect t he HIV have been proven quite reliable. The primary test used by most health centers is called ELBA or enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. If the ELBA test returns positive, a Western blot test is run to further verify the presence of HIV antibodies. The Western blot test, although more accurate than the ELBA serves as a secondary test i f screening because of the high cost and expertise needed. A trained and experienced technician is needed to interpret the Western blot results, while ELBA results can be determined by a physician. Each health department in North Carolina offers thebloodtest to determine HIV infection. Health departments offer free and anonymous testing; also, counseling about the test and the mean- of its results are available. At the time of testing, any questions and concerns should be asked to ensure that the knowledge is compl Test results are usually available in two weeks. A person must return to the health ent toreceive hisher results; he she cam e phone. rhePitt County Health Depart- ment oiteis HIV testing at their office located at 1825 West sixth Street inGreenvilk 1141 for further information or an S)
