The East Carolinian m. 68 No. n Circulation 12.000 Greenville, North Carolina Tuesday , February' 16, 1993 Media Board enacts alcohol policy for WZMB 16 Pages By Joe Horst Staff Writer The Media Board recently closed a year-long issue with the enactment of an alcohol policy governing actions be- tween WZMB and local clubs. In February of 1992, the Media Board issued a memo- rand urn halting any future ben- efits that might be held at local clubs. On advice from the uni- versity attorneys' office, the Board concluded that any such event would hold the univer- sity open to civil liability law- suits. Through various memo- , randums and discussions, the ( Board came to the conclusion mat a policy would have to be enacted to use as a guideline fok any future events. Media Board chairperson Terri Avery met with the university attor- neys and together, they came up with a new policy that was accepted at the Feb. 11 meet- ing. The policy stated that staff members of WZMB may con- duct live-remotes from local businesses that serve alcohol. It limits thisabilityby placing vari- ous restrictions on the time, manner and frequency these live-remotes may be held. For example, before the policy was enacted, local busi- nesses could hold benefits for WZMB. This constituted one of the major problems when con- cocting the new policy. When previous benefits were held, the station would recieve money that would go directly back to improving the qualitv of the sta- tion. Now, tne policy specih- cally states that benefits for WZMB will only be allowed "in locations where alcohol is not being served Kevin Brelsford, program director of WZMB, was pleased with the results of the policy, with the exception of the benefit stipulation. "Overall, I'm happy that the matter was finally resolved Brelsford said. "I'm pleased with the results. "I wish the policy didn't restrict the clubs from holding benefits for WZMB, though. These benefits helped the sta- tion in the past, they raised a lot of money for the station General manager Tim Johnson agreed with Brelsford on the single bone of conten- tion. "The school is still torn over who is responsible when a tavern hold s a benefit Johnson said. "So, they still won't let clubs hold benefits for WZMB because they think WZMB might De name. Other points of contention that the policy made dealt with the manner with which adver- tisements would be done, mon- etary gains from the events and members' affiliation with WZMB as a radio station. The policy stated that ad- vertisements would be limited See WZMB page 4 Fil� photo According to a new Media Board policy, local businesses will no longer be able to host any benefits for WZMB if the establishment sells alcohol.

COST calls for student action, involvement By Jason Williams Staff Writer In the second meeting of the Com- mittee On Student Tuition (COST), the group's organizer, Bill Gheen, reiter- ated his fears concerning an increase in tuition. Explaining to new members the purpose of COST, Gheen said, "We're reacting to a report from the Govern- ment Performance Audit Committee that suggested the state legislature should raise tuition across the state to raise revenue "We think that the legislature will raise tuition anyway, but our goal is to minimize that tuition increase. We want to make it hard for them to raise it in the future Gheen said. Gheen repeated his message be- fore the Inter-Fraternity Council on Tuesday and again before the Panhellenic Council on Thursday. The 44 IFC appeared to be receptive to the COST plan and offered to fill a leader- ship position within the group. Mike Had ley, representing the SGA, and Cheen hold the other two chairmanship posi- tions in COST. Though Gheen wishes to get his group organized as quickly as possible in order to coordi- nate its activities, the legislature is not prepared to act on a tuition raising bill at the moment. "No one has set a calender date yet for any legislative action an assis- tant to the director of the Government Performance Audit said. "The state Sen- We think that the legislature will raise tuition anyway, but our goal is to mini- mize that tuition increase.

"We want stu- dents to write to their state legislator, write to their local newspa- per, and tell their friends and family to do the same in order to let the legisla- tors know how they feel about a tuition hike See COST page 4 AMA Marketing Week lab eled a' success' By Jason Williams Staff Writer The ECU chapter of the American Marketing Association's Marketing Week is considered "a success" by Brian Kerns, president of the AMA. "Many students gained valuable experience by partici- pating in our experiments. It's been a really good success Kerns said. The week culminated with a visit from a Vice President of Carolina Telephone, Bruce Branyan. With 23 years experi- ence in the industry, Branyan is responsible for the marketing strategies for the company. Speaking at ECU for the third time, Branyan opened his presenta tion wi th a joke and pro- ceeded to tell the audience about his career in the marketing pro- fession. "I began my career in engi- neering at Ohio Bell, a division of AT&T, but moved to market- ing when the company began facing increased competition Branyan said. "During the breakup of AT&T I moved to government affairs. Lobbying is essentially marketing, though In 1989, AT&T offered Branyan a position in New Jer- When you leave ECU, that is not the end of your education.

"They were not set up to deal with competition either, so they brought in outsiders like me to help Branyan then asked the au- dience of marketing students for their assistance with a problem.

The company is about to merge with Centel and is searching for a new name. Many students offered sug- gestions, and Branyan expressed his appreciation for their partici- pation. "Drawing from his experi- ence, Branyan imparted some words of wisdom to his audi- ence. "When you leave ECU, that is not the end of your education. Always take thecontinuousedu- cation approach to your job. "Find yourself a mentor Bruce Branyan, vice presi- dent of CarolinaTelephone . within the company and always stay close to your customers. Re- member, the customer is the rea- son you're in business Branyan said. The meeting adjourned with the presentation of a certifi- cate to Branyan, and the award- ing of door prizes. Gift certificates from Chico's, Boli's, Professor O'Cooles, The Final Score, and AMF Bowl were given to win- ners. Subway also contributed three party subs to the event. In another Marketing Week activity, the AMA conducted a survey for the ECU student pub- lications. The information gath- ered from the survey will be used by the media for editorial and advertising feedback. "We will put the data in next week and should have the results in about a month Kerns said. "The survey was a great success and we gained real- world experience by participat- ing Education Career Day to benefit students seeking jobs By Sharon Anderson Staff Writer The Career Services Of- fice and the School of Educa- tion is sponsoring an Educa- tion Career Day for all edu- cation majors and those who are exploring education as a career.

Constance Penley admits she had twinges of embarrass- ment when her film class first met in January. Her students at the University of California-Santa Barbara probably felt the same way, she said. But then again, those on both sides of the podium had every right to be squeamish about the class subject: The fou r- credit course is a study of pornography as a film genre.

Talk show woos students He may not be a David Letterman, but Dr. Shin Lin of Johns Hopkins University and his hot, new talk show are attracting students in droves. Lin, the associate dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at the university, is teaching the wonders of bio- medical research to his students in a talk show format every Monday night. Lin, who plays host, finds "celebrity" doctorsand scientists to chat about different topics every week ranging from "Biomechanics of Living Tissues to "Chartinga National Course for Research on Cardiovascular Diseases "The point of this course is toallow undergraduateswith no background in science to come and be educated in an entertaining way Lin said. "There will be a minimum of graphs and charts. It's not all fun and games, though. There will be serious science. While students have to pass an exam at the end of the course, there are no textbooks and no exams. New stamp honors black scientist A new 29-cent postage stamp honoring black scientist Percy Julian was introduced at a ceremony at Roosevelt Univer- sity in Chicago. The stamp, the 16th in the U.S. Postal Service's Black Heritage Series, was released in honor of February's Black History Month. Julian, who was the grandson of a slave, rose to become a preeminent American scientist who held over 100 patents and published more than 2a) scientific articles. Accord- ing to the U.S. Postal Service, "Percy Lavon Julian (1899-1975) was a distinguished scientist and chemical researcher. His syn- thesis of cortisone for arthritis, a drug for glaucoma and synthe- sis of progesterone won acclaim. In 1990, Julian was inducted into the prestigious National Investors Hall of Fame Compiled by Karen Hassell. Taken from CPS and other campus newspapers. CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP)� High school students who pay $40 to $90 to companies for help in finding scholarships may be throwing away their money, North Carolina college officials say. "If you work closely with your financial aid office and use resources in the library, you can get the same information for free said Gordon Peck, Davidson College's associate dean for financial aid. "We continually ask stu- dents to let us know if they get a good match, and no one ever has said Eleanor Morris, direc- tor of the scholarship and finan- cial aid office at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "That leads me to believe they leave something to be desired It's not known how many search franchises operate in North Carolina. But since mid- 1990, one company, Educational Services of America in Northbrook, III has signed up 270 licensees in North Carolina. Two national companies couldn't provide names of any North Carolina students who have won money through their services, The Charlotte Observer reported Sunday. Howard Maroz, president of California-based Money For College, said it's up to the company's licensees to provide their own testimonials. But own- ers of three Mecklenburg County scholarship search franchises, all of whom are now out of busi- ness, couldn't give any suc- cess stories either. Maroz said the busi- nesses provide a convenient service at a time when pay- ing for college is growing in- creasingly difficult. "What we do is a step- by-step strategy to help them build their own financial plan he said. Typically, national compa- nies sell licenses to anyone who will pay their fee, usually less than $500.Thelocal licensee then recruits customers � students and their parents. A student provides aca- demic history and personal in- formation, such as hobbies. The local service sends a student's application to the par- ent company, which uses its computer to match the student with schol From there, it's up to the student to apply for the awards. For Lee Pettit, a Virginia Tech freshman from Collinsville, Va the list netted cash. Pettit won an $800 National Elks Club Foundation scholarship through Educational Servicesof America. The company, which provided Perth's name to The Observer, couldn't cite a single Caroiinas customer who had won a schol- arship. But Paola Bernacchi, a UNC freshman from Jamestown in Guilford County who spent $40 for a list of sources from Educa- tional Services of America, found the effort "a waste of "If you work closely with your financial aid office and use re- sources in the library, you can get the same information for free' Gordon Peck, Davidson College's associate dean. money She sent in her application in October of her senior year of high school bu t d id n't receive the list until January. By then, many of the awards' application deadlines had passed. Ms. Bernacchi mailed off more than 20 requests for appli- cations, some to addresses that turned out to be erroneous. Ms. Bernacchi ended up winning six scholarships, includ- ing a National Hispanic Scholars Award, but gave little credit to the service. Company owners maintain their search services do yield re- sults, if students conscientiously apply to the leads they provide. Yes, students can do their own research, using library books, but they won't, Mark Cohen said. Cohen founded the now-defunct Academic Guidance Services in Mount Laurel, N.J then sold it in 1988. "Using that same theory, would you do your own taxes? Why would they not say, 'Don't go to H&R Block Why would they not say, 'Don't go to a bar- ber. You can cut your own hair Many colleges offer free scholarship database searches. For three years, Furman University in Greenville, S.C has offered applicants free use of two databases, but they've generated few scholarships, said Benny Walker, a Furman vice president. Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory bought a database from the same company that sells li- censes through Educational Ser- vices of America. The college has done about 1,500 searches, charging stu- dents $5 per search. Ed Clark, dean of enroll- ment management at Lenoir- Rhyne, said he doesn't know of any students who've won money through the searches. But many Lenoir-Rhyne stu- dents get scholarships, and he's confident some of those leads came from the database.UNC also recently purchased a new database sold by the College Board,a nonprofitorganization that provides the Scholastic Aptitude Test and other educa- tional services. UNC's database soon will be available for UNC students and applicants. The East Carolinian is now accepting applications for Staff Writers, APPLY NO W!

"He didn't give us a warn- ing said Fannie Coleman, who works at Otto's Barbecue. "We'd been looking for him to come by soon. We're always glad to see him when he comes When Bush showed up ear- lier this month to pick up a "half order of links, half beef, beans and a Diet Coke he came with only two other men, Ms. Coleman said. Bush has followed his plan to keep a low profile, granting no interviews and just one photo op- portunity since coming to Texas after President Clinton's inaugu- ration Jan. 20. Tourists cruise through his new neighborhood eager for a glimpse of the home he and wife, Barbara, are renting while their new house is built on an adjacent lot. "They're super people said Robert Koster, a plumbing Contractor working on their new home. "I was so impressed by diem, I couldn't even tell you what they said. I was kind of in awe of talking to them. But they were very nice Bush was seen at a recent Houston Rockets-Chicago Bulls basketball game with his son, Neil. His staff arranged for pictures to bfctaken during a visit by Turkish resident Turgut Ozal. i "I'mnotgivinginterviews E&ish reminded reporters who showed up for the photo session. His spokesman, Andrew Maner, fends off calls from the media and others seeking the ex- president'sattention, saying Bush wants his privacy. "He has basically been just going over the mounds of mail mat we've received Maner said. "We've just received so many speaking requests, appearances at promotional things, charity things�I think more than any of usexpected�hundredsand hun- dreds Bush also has been spend- ing time planning his presiden- tial library to be built at Texas A&M University in College Sta- tion, about 100 miles northwest of Houston. He normally is at his office by 8 a.m. and stays until 6 p.m Maner said. He declines to comment on the Clinton administration or other political matters. Secret Service agents accom- pany Bush in his silver Cadillac the two blocks from home to his officeattheParkLaureate,a nine- story build ing where he occupies the penthouse. Because of street construc- tion and the influx of tourists, police have had to help direct traffic in Bush's new neighbor- hood. "It's been a little busier than it used to be, but things have slowed down since they put a stop sign up down the street said a neighbor who lives a few doors away from the Bushes. Emily Young, 11, and her friends recognized the sudden traffic crunch as a business op- portunity and set up a lemonade stand. Most potential customers, however, were looking for the Bushes home, not a cold drink. "They just asked directions and they'd pay us for that she said. BOSTON (AP) � Ask Craig Norberg-Bohm why he joined the expanding ranks of men working actively to end violence against women, and he'll say it was just the right thing to do. Press him a little, and he'll recount the day his former girlfriend was raped. His experience isn't uncom- mon. More and more, the fathers, brothers, husbands and male friends of rape or assault victims are taking their cue from women's groups and venting their rage pro- ductively � by organizing. Across the country, men are setting up counseling groups and seminars to try to halt a growing number of rapes, wife beatings and domestic homicides. Their goal: to help men un- derstand the roots of their violence so they will stop. Their method: man-to-man talk that gets down to basics. "I can say, 'Listen guys let's be honest sa id Jackson Katz, who in 1988 formed an anti-violence group in Boston called Real Men. "That's something women can't do Norberg-Bohm,a41-year-old software engineering consultant, was in college when his girlfriend was raped by another man. The attack left her unable to be inti- mate, and the couple's year-old re- lationship was shattered. "When somebody is raped, all these trusts go away he re- called. About 15yearsago, he helped start a counseling center for male barterers in St. Louis called Rape and Violence End Now, or RAVEN. The clinic helps men understand how society conditions them to be violent, buttheemphasisison hold- ing them accountable for their ac- tions. "The man who comes in usually puts the responsibility on others said Norberg-Bohm, who now lives in Boston. "He says, 'She put me in here We want to change that Often, men must first be per- suaded there is a problem. Katz, who speaks at schools and colleges about violence, begins by drawing a white line down the middle of a blackboard.On one side of the line he asks male students to list things they do each day to avoid being sexually assaulted. "There'sgiggling, i f not blank stares Katz said. "Then someone says 'Nothing and I say, 'Thank you" On the other side of the line he asks female students to list the same thing, "and the list goes on and on"�everything from having a man's voice on the answering machine to not using parking garagesTheblackboard gets filled up with things they do everyday to be safe Katz said. "Seeing it up there so starkly, it makes them see how unfair it is In Ca 1 ifornia, members of the Oakland Men's Project have hold- inganti-violenceworkshopsevery- where from prisons to workplaces since 1979. Along the way, they've learned what works with men, and what doesn't. "The touchy-feely stuff doesn't go over well said Allan Shore, the executive director. "Companies don't like women tell- ing mem about this. The old boys' network wants men to tell them about this Not everyone is interested. Katz endures plenty of name-call- ing from men when he hands out leaflets on Super Bowl Sunday or at concertsof comedian Andrew Dice Clay, whose brand of humor has offended women and minorities. Michael David Gordon, of the group New York Men AgainstSex- ism, received a death threat on his answering machine when he orga- nized an anti-violence workshop at Columbia University. Also, it's not clear men talking to other men will effectively reduce violence. The few studies on such methodsare incon- clusive.

(AP) � Tax laws unfairly benefit rich people and welfare breaks up families and keeps poor people perpetually poor, said leading scholars at a national conference. Karen Hill, director of a hous- ing program in Yonkers, N.Y said rich people get what amounts to a government subsidy when they de- duct mortgage interest off their in- come taxes. Meanwhile, 70 percent of poor people in the United States don't get any kind of subsidy to pay their rents. And welfare policies prevent poor people from saving money to buy a house, she said. Ms. Hill was one of the econo- mists, civil-rights activists, lawyers and social scientists from across the country who met at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill over the weekend to discuss how racism and poverty continue to cripple in- ner cities, The Winston-Salem Jour- nal reported. The conference marks the 25th anniversary of the Kemer Commis- sion report, which warned that America was disintegratinginto two unequal nations of black and white people. The Kemer Commission was appointed by President Lyndon Johnson to study racial violence in the wake of the Watts riots in Los Angeles in 1965. Speakers called for changes in welfare and tax policies. "The public welfare system in the United States has three character- istics � it doesn't work, it doesn't work, it doesn't work said David Stoesz, a lecturer at San Diego State University. Peter Leonard, an analyst with COST New member Mitchell Bowen, from Pitt Community College, presented his argument against raising tuition in our state. "A tuition hike of 20 will price many lower and middle income people out of college. "With fewer people going to college, North Carolina would have a less-educated population. A less-educated population nee- CAREER essarily leads to a less-educated workforce Bowen said. If indeed the General As- sembly enacts the recommenda- tions of the Audit Committee, then the legislators will have to change their current interpreta- tion of the state Constitution. One provision states, "higher education, as far as practicable, be extended to the people of the scheduled for formal interviews, but are allowed to ask any ques- tions they feel are important. In return, each representative will ask interview-like questions to become more familiar with a per- spective employee. The purpose of this program is for students and recruiters to share information about their school systems and the projected hiring needs. Each senior interested in education as a career should reg- ister with career services. These students will be sent a newslet- ter and attend an orientation pro- gram. the Center on Budget and Policy Pri- orities, a nonprofit think tank in Washington, said there should be an income cap on that tax deduction. "Rich people who buy man- sions are always going to buy man- sions he said. Leonard also advocates rais- ing the minimum wage and increas- ingtheeamed-income taxcreditthat poor families can now claim on their taxes. Several scholars recommended thatuniversities,privatefoundations and corporations help solve theprob- lems surrounding poverty. Peter Dreier, a professor at Occidental College in Los Angeles, said polls show most Americans are willing to pay more in taxes to help fight poverty, butonly if they feel the programs work. 'Teople are willing to spend money and cut the defense budget if they think the money will be well- spent he said. Asked what budget changes they would suggest to President Clinton, the scholars recommended: � Establishing universal- health care coverage.

WZMB Continued from page 1 to "on-air announcements of time, location and an explana- tion of event coverage The policy went on to ensure that sponsorship would not be de- noted to the radio station, whether itbeobviousor implied, by eliminating the use of the station's call letters in any shape or form. The policy also stipulated that WZMB staff members should in no way "receive any monetary gains from a function, i.e. live-remote These gains in- cluded door proceeds, payment or gifts from the owner and free admission into the club. The only exception to the free admission policy was when WZMB staff members are covering the event as members of the media and that the free admission be for that event only. Brelsford commented on the importance of this policy, saying that WZMB's public im- age is crucial to the sta tion's suc- cess. "Being able to represent WZMB in public is a great pro- motion for the station Brelsford said.

NGCM's president, Bryan Evans said that it was time for students and individuals "to look to ourselves as leaders. This program presents a strategy to go beyond the past and to look forward to the future Evans also said that "people need to hear a fresh perspective He commented that the majority of people are following doctrines based on separatism. "We need to be at peace with one another instead of at war Evans said. "We are one As the jury is currently being selected in the civil suit against the officers accused of beating Rodney King, the country waits breathlessly to see if another installment of the Los Angeles riots looms on the horizon. Police chiefs in major (and minor) cities around the nation anxiously await the outcome that will determine whether this coun- try will be subjected to another three days, if not more, of terror and fear. The L.A. riots showed us just how separated this country has become. Mass lootings and burnings oc- curred in the city, not discriminating between black and white store owners. Videotape footage showed brutal beatings of both blacks and whites; police were lost as to how to combat the overwhelming flood of looters and pillagers. A drive through the riot area today shows a person the slow comeback that business owners are trying to make. Burnt-out shells of stores and supermarkets still mark three-day shook this to its knees, pable air of still resides people walking as if they're m t h e riot that country A pal- tension air, with waiting for the other shoe to drop or to be kicked once again like a stray dog This tension shows no signs of decreasing in the near future, either. This country must look long and hard at its stance on racism and discrimination before any light of hope can be seen at the end of this dark tunnel. Imagining that the problem has gone away just because people can't see the symptoms anymore will just make it all the more horrifying when these same symptoms reappear in a much more dramatic form. To paraphrase the quote above, ethnicity should not control a person's life, but rather make a person more aware of his or her heritage. African-Americans have been degraded and debased in the past, but steps are being taken to remedy those past faults. Would having a separate black nation be the answer to all these problems? Absolutely not. Unity is the key here, not separatism. Only by working together�both blacks and whites � can this nation hope to repair the rift and wound that racism and segregation has created. Further segregation would only increase this rift to the point that it very well could rival the one seen in Civil War days. The "Union" and the "Confederacy" are two names that just may see a resurgence, but with vastly different ideas behind them. Rodney King's statement of "Can't we all just get along?" has taken a lot of ribbing and kidding in the media lately. Trite as it may sound, this saying epitomizes the basic need of this country today and in the future. When people can recognize that skin color is not that big a difference, some progress can be made in America. Opinion Page 6 The East Carolinian James R.

Scott Batchelor IRS tax forms: study in sadism, bureaucracy The friendly folks at the U.S. Department of the Treasury sent me my tax forms the other day. They call the form 1040 EZ, with a play on the word "easy (Boy, what a bunch of wacky punsters those guys are!) I read over the booklet that comes with this form as soon as I received it. I mustadmit that in several years of filing taxes, this is the first time I've sat down and really read the information. There's one section which addresses some questions people frequently ask, called "Answers to frequently Asked Questions" (page five of the booklet for those of you playing along at home). One ques- tion asks, "Do I have to file a re- turn?" The reader is directed to page nine where, in true govern- ment style, a whole page is used to basically answer, "Yes, you do ha ve to file Another item in the booklet reads, "Gift to reduce the public debt Apparently, there are people out there who forgot to take their medication and they call the IRS and ask i f they can send even more money than thegovemmentwants. Theitemcontinuesasfollows: "You may make a gift to reduce the pub- lic debt. If you wish to do so, en- close a separate check with your income tax return. Make itpayable to 'Bureau of the Public Debt Reading this, one overwhelming question came to my mind: Are Jim and Tammy Bakker writing the tax booklets now? The last page of the booklet has some enlightening information. It reads, "In fiscal year 1991 fed- eral income was $1,054.3 billion and outlays were $1,323 billion, leaving a deficit of $268.7 billion To put this into perspective for the college student, this is like writing a $50check for the keg when you've only got $35 in your checking ac- count. The federal government calls this a budget defici t; the police call it check kiting. Both are crimes and should be punished as such. Filling out theactual tax form itself is the most fun. As the saying goes, if you put an infinite number of monkeys in a room with an infi- nite number of typewriters, they'll eventually produce an IRS tax form. One of the first items on the form reads'Presidential Election Campaign : Do you want $1 to go to this fund?" and you check yes or no in the appropriate block. I can see a television commercial di- rected towards people who check yes or no in the appropriate block. "My friend, did you check "yes" to sending money to the Presidential Election Campaign fund on your tax form? If you did then come on down to Crazy Jake's Auto Sales where we've got a deal for you. New 1992 Yugos for just $37,995; recently acquired Russian�made automobiles starting at $30,990; and a special deal on used 1984 GM pickup trucks Then there are the instruc- tions. "Subtract line 4 from line 3. If line 4 is larger than line 3, enter 0. If line 6 is larger than line 7, or you were born in a month thatcon tains an "r subtract line 7 from line 6, unless you are currently with a resident from G uadalupe, in which case you divide line 7 by pi times the square root of the IQ of the sadist who produced this form All this j ust so you can find ou t that you owe the government more money. This brings up an interesting question. Just where does all this money go? On the last page of the booklet there are two pie graphs, one showing where federal gov- ernment income came from in fis- cal 1991, and the other showing where the outlays went. Sixty-five percent of what the government took in came from personal income, social security, Medicare, unem- ployment, and other retirement taxes. The biggest receivers of money were social security, Medi- care and other retirement, defense, veterans and foreign affairs and � the saddest revenue sapper of all � net interest on the debt. This is how our money is spent. In her note to the Taxpayer, on page three in the 1040 EZ book- let, Internal Revenue Commis- sionerShirleyD.Peterson refersto us as "customers" of the Internal Revenue Service. This is a bit odd. When was the last time you were forced to buy a stereo or micro- wave, or were ordered to choose a certain dish ata restaurant? No, we are certainly not "customers If we are, then we're being forced to do business with the company store. So happy tax filing. I certainly hope you don't have to pay any- thing. Maybe you'll actually get some money back. And remem- ber, if you get the urge to write a check to the Bureau of Public Debt asagift to reduce thedeficit,justsit down and wait for it to pass. fatfW.

This letter is addressed to the people (the thoughtless ones) who either attended or di- rected their students to attend. Several students at- tended the lecture without having the slightest idea of who Noam Chomsky is or what he does. The February 4 edition of The East Carolinian carried an excellent letter by professor Hal Daniel, who listed some articles to read. As I left the lecture, I overheard several young fe- males remark that they "don't see what he has to do with psychology Again, a lack of preparedness on their part. Also, psychology is not all clinical. Some instructors obvi- ously assigned this lecture as extra credit or as a require- ment without briefing their students about Chomsky's work. Lastly, to the students who giggled, chatted, gos- siped, jingled keys and were otherwise bothersome; you and your actions were rude. If you cannot act as adults, please don't attend the lec- ture. P.S. George Graduate Student Psychology � LOVELOOKtN ficr-m i4ue an MY &' VTH WHAT HAMB ON , THAT By Amy E. Wirtz SI swimsuit issue not worthy of pornography label TheSporfsIusrraferfswimsuitissueisdue out this week. With it comes the same old controversy: cries of soft- core pornography and degradation of women. But to attack SI and call it "pornographic" is unfounded. Undoubt- edly, many feminists would have me locked away for my views on this, but it is something they (above all others) need to hear. The American culture hasa problem with sexuality. It has not and probably never will be completely embraced, since people tend to be scared of their own, and other's, sexuality. Camille Paglia, a humanities instructor at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia and au- thor of the book Sexual Persotwe, states that: "profanation and violation are part of the per- versity of sex, which never will conform to liberal theories of benevolence We've been brainwashed to believe that the only way to be good is to abstain from sex. Paglia also believes that the knowledge of "fantasies is expanded by pornography, which is why pornography should be tolerated, though itspublicdisplaymayreasonably be restricted This isn't to say that it should be accessible to everyone. Certainly children do not need to view a Playboy or Penthouse asparlof their sexual education. But we aren't discussing Playboy. What we're discussing is Sports Illustrated. Now come on, take a real look at the swimsuitissue. Those models are there because they want to be there. Posing that way is, very simply, part of the job. The real issue is that nudity, or partial-nudity, intimidates people. People don't want to believe that the human body is a beautiful thing. Over the years it has been made in to something vulgar, to be hidden away and a vessel of sin. Many argue that women should not be rated by how they look. Unfortunately, that is uheprimarywayfhatweidentifyeachother.Anti- pornography supporters twist thatand use it to their advantage. What they're saying is that it's O.K. to size someone up visually at first meet- ing but to feature a woman's body in a maga- zine is degrading. This is a blatant double- standard. Another argument, which is somewhat founded, is that female athletes should be fea- tured instead of the swimsuit issue; females are not getting as much coverage as their male counterparts. What if the female athletes were in bathing suits? Would that be acceptable? I'm sure it wouldn't, because then thev would be featured as sex objects. I hate to say this, but we areall objects ofsex.Weare sexual beings. Until we realize this, there will be disa rd among all. I'm sure the religiously pious are fainting right about now, since sexuality is not part of any religion'sdogma. Until we start identifying and coming to terms with this part of ourselves, we will be perpetuating an age-old issue. The swimsuit issueisnot changing Ameri- can society and hurtling it towards inevitable destruction. In fact, ignoring this facet of our- selves is probably destroying us more than a mere magazine. So please, if you don't like to look at beautiful women in bathing suits, don't open the magazine. Millions of others in touch with their sexuality will. � . ' M � �amun The East Carolinian FEBRUARY 16, 1993 Lifestyle Page 7 Conversing with Noam Chomsky �ditor's Note: The following is a conversation between staff writers Franco Sacchi and Nathanial Meade with Noam Chomsky, which will be printed in two parts. Lookjbr the second installtnent in the Thursday, Feb. 18, edition. On Feb. 9, Noam Chomsky came to ECU and spoke at Mendenhall Theater. In his usual bold and incisive style, Chomsky discussed contemporary subjects ranging from the political philosophies of David Hume and Adam Smith, to global informa- tion control, to the subtle influence of Ameri- can sports. For those unfamiliar with Chomsky, he is presently one of the most famous linguists in the world and has had books published worldwide. Amonghismostrecentpolitical works, Deterring Democracy has received much a Mention. Now 65 years old, Chomsky has taught since 1955 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he became a full professor at age 32. He is widely known for his dedicated probing into the dark side of American foreign policy, as well as his in- depth study of information control in Ameri- can society. Much of what Professor Chomsky has to say seems offensive and outlandish, yet this is mainly because the topics themselves are of such intense significance for our soci- ety. For this reason, most of his work has been published in the "alternative press" and has remained largely hidden from the lay public. At the same time, the mainstream media continues to marginalize Chomsky's work. Chomsky is not a pol i tician but a scholar. Every detail, every accusation, is substanti- ated by hisrigoroususeof primary research� from archives and other forms of official documentation. For this reason, his adver- saries have repeatedly relied on a single weapon: silence. The following interview only skims the surface of Chomsky's sweeping thought, which is extremely difficult to compress in a single article. We hope the following inter- view will give those not present Tuesday night at least a taste of this fascinating mind. Here, surely, is one of the great free-thinkers of our society. During the interview, Profes- sor Chomsky was wearing sneakers and had a distinct bounce in his step. THE EAST CAROLINIAN: George Bush's behavior during his term as presi- dent often seemed to have traces of Messianism. Do you think Bush ever had a bigger plan in the geopolitical arena, a hid- den agenda for a truly new world order un- der his leadership? From this point of view,howis President Clinton's positiondif- ferent? NOAM CHOMSKY: I don't accept your premise. I think George Bush is a minor bureaucrat who was following orders all his life.Take a look at his history. He came into national prominence as U .N. ambassador in 1971. He was then head of CIA, then in the House of Representatives, then vice president and president. He was a loyal servant of the law. I don't think he had any grand mission � Noam Chomsky you know, big-plan thoughts in his head. When any president, or any leader, of any country tries to mobilize the population for a dangerousand violent action, they always invent a messianic purpose. Ican'tthinkofahis- torical exception to that. He couldn't think of anything, so he came up with New World Order. What did the words mean? Zero. He didn't know wha t they meant, and nobody else knew what they meant. It's just tha t he had to mobi- lize the population for the Gulf War. The New World Order was just a joke. He had no concep- tion of anything except serving the interests of American wealth. Clinton, as far as I know, is about the same. TEC: Given the complexity of modern society and political system, very few people seem to know where the center of power is. From this perspective, can the president of the United States have any real control of the situation? Can President Clinton promote the necessary, large scale changes mis coun- try needs? NG Clinton won't try to promote big change. If you look at the day after the election, his campaign promises and ambi- tions quickly disappeared. That's not sur- prising. I can't imagine why anyone would be surprised. The day after the election, the front pages were telling us that Clinton's advisors said theambitious social programs they's been talking about would have to be dumped, but that there would be a little- discussed tax that would benefit investors. Big surprise. Then take his position on Haiti. Yes, he had something to say about that, though it was contrary to what he had said during the campaign. Now he was going to intensify the same Bush policy he had op- posed. And so on down the line.

That's one way you might de- scribe the life of television star and ECU graduate Connie Ray. But, don't ever think for a minute that Ray has bought into that glitzy and glamorous image that people see of actors and actresses. Ray said at a recent luncheon that people need to realize that actors are human, too. "You turn from Connie Ray, the person, to Connie Ray, the thing Ray said. "Connie Ray, the thing, is not me. Connie Ray, the thing, is a product and it's some- thing that I sell. The real me is over here. "If you start buying the hype, you get really weird. You start be- lievingall rhatstuff.

"There's something to be said for growing up in the South, with that good Southern heritage Ray said. "I was taught as a kid that Southern work ethic�you work and you do as good a job as you can no matter what that job is. "I am a good Southern girl who is hard-headed to the nth de- gree, and I will not give up. My image for myself you ever had a 'Sniper' hits ifs target, barely By Ike Shibley little puppy? And you play with him with those rag toys? And they clomp down on it and they won't let go? And you can sling them around in the air and they just don't let go? That's the way I look at what I want to do. I'm a very goal-oriented person Ray also commented on the stereotypical image that Southern- ers have around the country and how she combats it with her work. "I'm really proud of being a Southerner Ray said. "When I went up North, I can't tell you how many people said, 'What's your name, Daisy Mae?' You watch tele- vision, and everybody's laying on hay, telling jokes�three teeth and overalls. Connie Ray "That's not the people I know from North Carolina. The people that I know from North Carolina are good, sturdy people with in- tegrity and a morality that I would not trade for anything Through her playwriting, as seen in Smoke on the Mountain, Ray wants to portray Southern people as they really are, not the popular hick image. "My writing preserves the Southern way of life I knew � Southern people have more than three teeth and they do wear shoes. I will go to my death championing a good Southern character After growing up in North Carolina, Ray came to ECU and earned a degree in dance. But she Photo courtesy ECU Theatre Department used that work ethic that was so instilled in her to get people to look at her in the theatre. "I had to use my wits to figure out a way to get casted in a play Ray said. "Don Biehn an ECU the- atre professor was directing Who's Happy Now and we had to read from the script and to sing a coun- try western song.

Tom Berenger plays Gun- nery Sergeant Thomas Beckett, a marine whose profession is assassinating people. Beckett is a sniper whose spotter gets shot as the film opens. A civilian named Rich- ard Miller, played by Billy Zane, is sent to replace the slain man and aide Beckett on his next as- signment. That assignment is executing a Panamanian gen- eral who threatens to disrupt the free election slated to be held in that country. Miller has never killed any- one before and Beckett senses this. Beckett feels that Miller will be a liability unless he can be counted on to pull the trigger in a moment of crisis. Sniper chronicles the mis- sion of Beckett and Miller through the forest to their final destination at a seaside haci- enda. Films like Sniper usually in- trigue the audience for the simple reason that a person who can kill without compassion poses an enigma. The very fiber of a person's soul cries out against the slaying of another human being. Only in the military struc- ture is killing another human being not considered a crime. The military complex actually fosters an indifference in its re- cruits towards killing. The entire military structure rests on the proposition that the killing of a person becomes ac- ceptable if the government sanc- tions such an act. War films, at least the better ones, explore some facet of this philosophical stance. In Sniper, Thomas Beckett interests the viewer because of the detached manner in which he views his job. He kills on command and without compas- sion. He kills for neither anger nor fun. He kills because he can. He's good at it. Had Sniper probed Beckett's mind, his past and future, then the film may ha ve been on firmer ground as an interesting study of man. Instead the film's mak- ers concentrated on the assassi- nation. The story they tell never re- ally drags, much to the film's credit. For almost two hours nothing fills the screen but Beckett and Miller surrepti- tiously edging closer to their bounty. The tension builds, but the crescendo is dampened by insipid, cliched dialogue. Miller asks Beckett about his dreams and Beckett talks about fishing in Montana. Beckett makes melodramatic statements like: "If I wasn't prepared to die, I wouldn't be out here A silly facet of the story in- volves Miller's assertion that he is in charge of the mission be- cause he was sent by Washing- See SNIPER page 9 Attic Society revisited Michael Preston Staff Writer The "Attic Society Revisited ECU Student Union Foru m Commi ttee's on- going roundtable debate series, is pre- senting their latest topic.

It'svirtuaJsensuality,aural plas- ticity for the faceless e-ball genera- tion. The Orb's second album, UF.Orb(BigLifeMercury),sounds mysteriously like their first, The Orb's Adventure in the Underworld. Both have recieved critical acclaim, probably due to The Orb's epic es- capism, both on record and as an artistic, musicial outfit. The Orb is the synthetic off- spring of techno celestia 1-head s Dr. Alex Patterson and Thrash. It sounds like hyperspace techtonics with rave-hall house beats.

In terms of quality, however, TheOrbwavesabitflaky. Aestheti- Photo courtesy Mercury Records Tlie Orb cally, U.F.Orb is excellent to study, read, garden, cook, relax, sleep, write or dance to. Though tremen- douslyfunctional asanatmospheric link to alien lifeforms and a smokescreen tobackground silence, The Orb crosses over enough gen- erative sound associations to oftentimes evade anv musicality at all. It is crystals and incense and trippy and throbbing. It's micro- chip masturbation. U.F.Orb contains seven tracks, though you'd never know it. The bonus CD contains four tracks, though you'd never know it. The album is a great investment if you want to create a "mood" at a din- ner party, drug sit-in or romantic engagement. The record also con- tributes utility to anyone's need of changing a given mood or elimi- nating any uncool vibes or bogus atmosphere. Elephant breathing, Japanese flutes and Radio Moscow are only some of the gems that pepper The Orb'saural feast of crazy whacked body grind candy samples. There's something disturbing about The Orb, not musically but inprinciple. One person; one com- puter. The Orb.

Maybe we want to say they sound like the B-52's and The Bangles mixed with Kiss or something crazy, but no, the truth is Mary's Danish sounds like Mary's Danish. Then again, on some of the slower numbers, thevocals sort of sound like Rindy Ross of QuaterFlash. Well heck, throw Alannah Myles in too. But those are slight similarities.

I was playingsome rowdy racquetball the other day with this groovy guy, and he was about four points down. It was his serve and he bounced the ball, jumped in the air and hit it between his legs. He lost his serve because the ball went straight t to the floor, but it killed me the way it did mat. It was a good game, lots of laughs. Anyway,that'sswell,butIdon't want to talk about him, I like him. I want to talk about people I don't like � those ultra-competitive people who take the fun out of ev- erything. Have you ever done anything with these people? If you haven't, you are one of these people: stop reading now or you're going to get your feelings hurt. But probably not, you're insensitive. Those people, let's call them "turds are everywhere. You can't play basketball,racquetball, volley- ball, Trivial Pursuit or make salsa without some turd telling you or showingyou how itshould be done. And if they should happen to lose or bewrong! World coming toan end! That's when the ailments and aches come climbing out of their large mouths like maggots from a dead raccoon that swells u p and bursts in the sun: "my arm is still sore from curling 1,000 pounds Look,has this ever happened to you? You cook something�potato salad, for instance�and you bring some with you to school or workfor for lunch, and you're eating it and the local turd says, "what are vou eating?" Potato salad. "Did you make it?" Yes. "What did you put in your's?" And as soon as you say pota- toes, onions, blah, blah, blah, what do you get? "Well this is howdo it Oh goody thank you little turd ofa super-cook for letting me know that my humble littlebowlof potato salad doesn't make the grade. Oh, well. But that's nothing. Let mesha re this with you. As you may know, I no longer have a car since the little accident with the pipe bomb, so I rely on others for transportation. OK, so I'm playing racquetbal 1 with this turd. Now, I already knew he wasa turd; I've played disc golf and volleyball with him (Heaven help you if serve into the net when you're on his team!)

In all honesty, the only way to get to these people i s to make them lose in a big way; it eats at them likeacid,oryou could laughat them: they're usually so intent of putting up this facade of conde- scending superiority that they're easy to put down in front of every- body. Anyway, I had toputasideall my goofiness and stuff 'cause this was going to be a serious match. I thrashed him soundly. Now, I'm sure his fragile ego wasn'tbruised,afterall, I laterfound out that he had aggravated an old arm injury and he had been sick. But that's not the point. The point is, he made me walk home; he couldn't give me a ride, he said. The nerve of this turd. Maybe I should have let him win once, maybe.

The scene leaves the viewer feeling uninvolved. As the scene ends, one can practically vi- sualize the actors walking off the set at the end of the take. The basic storyline itself plays as cheap melodrama � an aged veteran has to handle a young hot shot, the young hot shot rebels but eventually matures and ends up saving the aging veteran's life in the final reel. Sniper is one of those films that your dad might enjoy. Sniper manages to maintain a tense atmosphere with adequate direction from Luis Llosa and an eerie soundtrack that underscores the tension evident on the screen. The locations � Sniper was filmed entirely on location in Panama and Australia � add to the gritty real- ism for which the film strives. The use of camouflage and the art of sniping provide an interesting side- light to the ma in story. Even enough plottwistsare included to keep the film from becoming trite. If you enjoy war films then Sniper should keep your interest. It chronicles war in a manner suit- able for the types of conflicts hap- pening in the '90s. Sniper possesses most of the admirable qualities of a war movie. Unfortunately, war movies have not as a rule, gained the distinction of being an admirable genre like Westerns and crime stories have. Still, Sniper provides enough entertainment to warrant a recom- mendation no matter to whatgenre it belongs. Lifestyle Writers � I have some new stories! Stop by and pick up an assignment or two.

I made enormous mistakes here, butl learned from them. I was given enormous opportunities, just from hard-headedness and a certain CHOMSKY amount of talent.

"Who am 1 to come here and go, 'Yes, I'm a big success and I'm gonna tell you how to do it? Ray said. "That's such baloney. You're gonna have to figure out your own way. Everybody has their own unique way of finding their way, and finding their way to success. "The way I looked at it � and I betcha the way you'll look at it, too�well, somebody's gotta make it.

"Show business is really type- oriented Ray said. "You're the blond bimbo, you're the plump mother, you're the studly guy. You can either grab on to it tight, which makes it easier for them to cubby- hole you, or you become a leading lady, or a leading man. "There are 70,000 professional actors in L.A.

TEC: How do you think the powerbrokers of the West view the situation of instability- in Eistern Europe, the war in Bosnia? NC: I don't think the West likes the situation. They just don't know what todoabout it. The West would much prefer to have Eastern Europe go back tobeinga well-behaved sec- tion of the Third World, as in the old days. TEG But this would be more an advantage for Germany than for the United States. NG Sure,andifyou'venoticed, Germany hasbeen in theadvance on this situation. The United States has dragged its feet all throughout the '80s about the liberation of Eastern Europe. The United States tried to bar Ost-Politik a West-German term. They didn't like the increase of East- West trade. Just a week before Ukraine declared independence, Bush made a big speech saying they shouldn't declare independence. In fact, all the way through the United Noam Chomsky Stateshasnot wanted independence for Eastern Europe for thevery simple reason you just mentioned: Ger- many is much better placed than the United States is to take advantage of the new Third World. In fact, if you look at Germany policy, it has a lot to do with what's happeningin Yugosiavia.Germany, unilaterally (because there big guys too, the- do what they feel like) and against everyone's objections, has said it would recognize Croatia and Slovenia. No one wanted them to do it. Slovenia, therichestpart,ispretty mucha partof Germany. So Slovenia isn'tabigthreatandnomingtoworry about; and they're integrating back into the West. If the situation in Croatia gets settled, it will become part of the German control system. Serbia I wouldn't worry too much about. It's poor. They would be happy to see the thing settled, because it's dangerous. If the Serbs go into Kowsovo, and the Turks become involved, it could get really ugly, and nobody wants that.

The Lady Pirates, after winning a barnburner against James Madi- son Friday night, fell 61-60 to Richmond on Sunday. The Pirates, stagnated by terrible shoot- ing, hit just 22 of 58 attempts at the goal and were able to score no three-pointers in the contest The Pirate backcourt connected for 32 points, but was unable to counteract the lack of productivity on the inside. Pirate center RhondaSmithonly managed toscore four points as she was virtually shut down by the strict Richmond defense. Smith went two-for-six from the field, and with the ex- ception of her rebounding, was notas much of a factor as in previous games. ThePiratescouldnotreturntheSpiders' favor, however, as Richmond battered the Pirates from the inside. The Spider forwards combined for 36 points including the career- high scoring performance of Diana Poulsen. Poulsen connected for 19 points, eight re- bounds and two assists and frustrated the Pirate defense by scoring bom from the in- sideand the perimeter. Foul troubleplagued PiratedefensivestandoutToina Coley asshe was charged with three first half violations and eventually fouled out of the game. The Pirates never fell any farther than five points behind the Spiders, and led by that margin early in the second half, but could not overcome their lack of inside scor- ing. Despite an exciting comeback attempt in the final minute, the day was to belong to the Richmond forwards. The Lady Pirates' record now stands at 4-5 in the CAA, 10-9 overall.

ECU went into Minges seeking revenge after a 60-53 loss to the Lady Dukes on Jan. 12. ECU leads the series 18-16 and is 8-5 against JMU at home. The Lady Dukes went into Friday nights game second in the CAA with a 5-2 conference record. With a 3-4 record, ECU issteadily climbing back into the running in the conference. ECU came out playing hard. The Lady Pirates took the early lead and never looked back. The Lady Pirates led by as much as eight points in the first half but could not finish off JMU who came back to cut the lead to three to make the score 35-32 at halftime. The Lady Pirates came out after the half with the same intensity until 11:54 left when JMU's Gail Shelly halted an ECU drive with a steal that led to the Lady Dukes' first lead of the game 46-44. In the second half, the lead would change hands several times but nei- ther team would give an inch. The Lady Dukes ran tough until 36 seconds left to play when ECU's Tomekia Blackmon scored under- neath to put the Lady Pirates up 67- 62. It seemed as though ECU would coast to an easy victory but JMU re- Senior divers lead ECU into CAA contention By Brent St. Pierre Staff Writer Go back into your library of sporting knowledge and fry to find the one sport that evokes terror when you see it and a sense of amazement when it is pulled off. I must remind you though, Super Dave Osborne is not considered an athlete; moreover, neither is Dale Earnhardt or Dick Trickle. So, what one sport gives the spectator that tingly sensation in the pit of their stomach? What one sport makes you ask; "How the hell did he do that?" Here is a hint: this sport is offered at ECU. No, it's not football, though I realize the same feelings and questions areasked and no, it's not basketball either which gives you an all together different tingly sensation;I think it iscalled nausea. What is this sport that comprises Michael Jordanesque talents you ask? Diving. Granted, diving probably was not the sport to come to mind; but, go back to the Olympics and try to recall the diving events. They were spectacu la r; the divers were doing things that seemed almost inhuman. And when their mortality was questioned, our perverted love for other people's pain would be answered with a thunderous "slap" as some poor German guy would screw up and do a belly-flop from six stories up. ECU has such ath- letes. ECU's diving team is headed by John Rose and manned by what he termed as, "the greatest ECU diving team from top to bottom that has ever been put together in the 12 years that I have been at the helm Rose said. ECU is led by three outstanding se- niors. Tara Rohland, Matt Lawerence and George Garbe. Together they ha ve the abil- ity to be the catalyst needed to earn ECU the CAA Swimming and Diving Champi- onships held in Wilmington next week. Individuallyeach of these threeaerial- acrobats are special, special in their ac- complishments, but more importantly, special in the heart of Head Coach John Rose. The men are led by Matt Lawerence and George Garbe. Rose is confident that both will be finalists at the Conference Championships. Rose's confidence is not unfounded. "Matt Lawerence is the best diver that 1 have ever coached in my twelve years at ECU. He has finished first or second in every meet for fou r yea rs and is one of the greatest kids that I have ever been fortunate enough to coach Rose said. As for Garbe, Rose has no lack of Lady Pirates come home after four road games fused to die. With 15 secondsleft, Gail Shelly hit a dramatic three-point shot that knot- ted the game at 67. The only thing JMU had to do now was to hold ECU's of- fense from scoring for the remaining 14 seconds which would send the game intoovertime.But,JMU'sChristinaLee made a critical mistake. She was called for her fifth foul which sent LaShonda Baker to the free-throw line. Baker showed poise at the line and sank both free throws to send the Lady Dukes back to Harrisonburg with a 5-3 record. The Lady Du kes, who are ranked no. 4 in the NCAA in field goal percentage (52.8 percent), finished Friday's game with a low 38.5 percent average. For the fourth straight week, Gaynor O' Donnell has led the na- tion in assists average. O'Donnell managed to reel off nine assists add- ing to her impressive school record of 707. Rhonda Smith who was seven for eight from the field led the Lady Pirates in scoring with 16 points. The Lady Pirates improved to 4- 4 in the conference and look for- ward to seeing JMU again in tour- nament play. iff- 'iMifflr 1 vs. RiGlffifSfil Mingftrb m-am-ao-taPfP Cagle 102-30-00-1224 0'Donnell391-13-51-4935 Thurman 274-72-41-40410 Rodgerson 40-02-20-0002 Sutton 30-01-20-0011 Smith 267-82-40-61416 Baker 363-73-40-2129 Samuels 326-102-21-34215 Blackmon 233-61-30-5127 Totals 20026-4216-26 3-27 18 20 69 Percentages: FG - .619, Ft. 615, 3 pt Goals: 1-3 - 333, Team Rebounds - 2, Blocked Shots -2, Turnovers - 22, Steals -11.

The women are led by Tara Rohland. RohJand,afinalistlastyear on both boards, is prepared for a return visit. Rose is confident in Rohland's chances to return to the Conference promised land. "She is the second-best female diver that I have ever coached and perhaps the most dedi- cated, consistent hard workingdiver that I have ever had. She has finished first or second in every meet and will easily re- turn to the finalsat the Conference Cham- pionships Rose said. If it sounds as if Rose has a parental tone in his praise of the three seniors, it is true. There is a sense of compassion and love in the praise he gives Rohland, Lawerence and Garbe, and it is apparent thathe believes they will be successful this weekend in Wilmington. What should be a three-way dog race to the Championship crown may very well be settled on the boards. If confidence counts for anything then Roses' divers are well prepared to bringthe championship back toGreenville.

I didn't have NBA heroes because I couldn't really relate to them The NBA did have small guards then, but by Bogues' standards Nate 'Tiny" Archibald was a monster of a guard at 6-foot-l. There was Calvin Murphy and Charlie Crist, also of the era where being a point guard didn't necessarily require the build of a frontcourt player. IfBogueshad an idol,itwassome- body he could look in the eye � al- most "A guy named Dwayne Woods. He went to Dunbar High School says Bogues, who led the school's 1983 team to an un- beatenseason. "Hewas only 5-5 I wasn't pat- terning my game be- hind him, butl learned sornetiungsfromhirn' With his neigh- bors tel ling him to for- getproball,Boguesput his athletic life in per- spective and made college his next challenge.

But Wake Forest ta ughthim more than basketball, he says, adding that the school was the best thing that ever happened to him. "It was a challenge for me to go there asa student-athlete he says. "It was tough, but I fought my way through it" The fight was just beginning. Bogues was a first-round pick of the Bullets in the 1987 draft and the 12th selection overall. He played in 79 gamesand handed out404assists while scoring a modest 5 points per game. But Bogues watched thecoaching staff change the offense around him to a more deliberate style. It took him away from histypeof gameand caused Bogues tovvonder if thecoacheswould stick with him. "I think the coaching staff was more ca ught up in what was happen- ing aioundtheleague,andIthink they started second-guessing themselves aboutthedetisionthattheymadehe says.

"For them to give up on a number one pick that early, it was kind of unusual When time came for Charlotte to pick from theexpansion pool, the team took a chance on Bogues. Still, in his firstyear with his new team, he had to prove he belonged.

(AP) � There's a long way to go in the Big Ten season and no one has conceded the conference titie to Indiana. On the other hand, Michigan's run at the league championship is just about over. "We're probably not going to win the Big Ten title. It would take a major miracle Michigan coach Steve Fisher said Sunday as his team fell three games out with seven to play after losing 93-92 to top-ranked Indiana, the team in first place. The loss may have hurt the fifth-ranked Wolverines' record, but it didn't dampen their confi- dence as the NCAA tournament still looms on next month's hori- zon. "PmnotbelittlingtheBigTen ring at all, but I think all of us knows which ring is more impor- tant Michigan's Chris Webber said. Indiana (22-2,11-0) has to be one of the favorites for both pieces of championship jewelry. The win was the 11 th in a row for the Hoo- siersand it was their 27th straight at home, the longest such streak in the nation. Both streaks remained intact because the Hoosiers wereable to overcome a 13-point deficit in the first half and one of nine points in the second half. "Last year, the year before, we would have just given up on a game like this said Indiana's Calbert Cheaney, who had 20 points and 9 rebounds. "Today, we dug in and told each other 'Let's go'and we did it Indiana's tough defense held Michigan (19-4, 8-3) without a field for 6 12 minutes. Michigan took its final lead at 78-76 on two free throws by Jalen Rose with 6:01 left. Indiana scored the next 13pointsand a last-minute3-point barrage by Webber made it seem a lot closer than it was. "When we took the lead, I thought our defense was pretty good Indiana coach Bob Knight said. He thought the crucial point came quite a bit earlier. "The first point 1 want to make, and it is possibly the most important point of all, was that we were able to leave the floor at halftime just down two points he said. "It nearly got away from us again, but we did a really good job of hanging in there and our guys off the bench really contrib- uted The lead contributor off the bench was freshman Brian Evans, who finished with a season-high 17 points including a 3-for-6 ef- fort from 3-point range where he had only made eight shots all sea- son. Matt Nover had 20 points for Indiana and his 8 rebounds were a big part of the Hoosiers' 38-30 advantage, 20-10 on the offensive end. Webber finished with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, but was just 4 for 11 from the foul line. He had three 3-pointers in the final 54 seconds as the Wol- verines, who shot 58 percent from the field, finished 12 for 22 from long range. In other games Sunday, No. 3 North Carolina beat Georgia Teach 77-66 and Louisville de- feated No. 15 UNLV 90-86. U. of Iowa still recovering IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) � Nearly all theteammatesChrisStreet left behind came to this comer of basketball heaven for the same rea- sons he did and from the same kind of small Midwestern towns that he did. Maybe that's what made it so strange to go on without him. Four weeks ago today, Street was killed in an auto accident after leaving a team d inner and trying to ease hiscar onto Highway 1. He was heading back to campus for a night class. He was 20 years old. In some ways, the story that began unfolding here three weeks ago is similar to the emotional run that Loyola Marymount made in the 1990 NCAA tournament after thedeathofstarforward Hank Gath- ers. Davis notes many of the same things that happened then happen- ing to his kids now. They focus bet- ter at some times, but wander at others; they need little motivation, but they get wound up too easily; they never fail to lay a body on every body that rumbles down the lane, but sometime the play is just plain ragged. In the week that followed Street's death, school officials post- poned two games toallow a proper mourning period. Something unex- pectedlv sweet happened: The Hawkeyes climbed three spots in the poll, ending it at No. 11. The next week proved even sweeter. First, Street's teammates madt'upal7-pointdeficitin the last 530 to beat Michigan State on the road. Then they closed out at No. 9 after beating powerful Michi- gan at home and presenting the game ball to Street's parents at courtside. An hour after their loss to In- diana, Davis lingered in the hall- way of Carver-Hawkeye Arena to talk about what would come next. "I really don't have any idea he said, "but I don't have any doubts we'll get through it fine. There's no schedule for this. I've let the players guide me through it so far and they've been terrific The ECU Student Union Visual Arts Committee Presents ILLUMINA '93 February 22-March 5 Reception Wednesday, Febbruary 24, 7:00-8:00 p m Mendenhall Student Center Art Gallery Call for Entries Friday, February 19 1:00 - 8:00 p.m. MSC Room 244 Entry Forms Available at the MSC Information Desk For more information call 757-4715 Cash Prizes Totalling $700 Will Be Awarded Top twenty-Five The Top Twenty Five teams in The Associated Press'college basketball poll, with first-place votes in parentheses, records through Feb. 14, total points based on 25 points for a first- place vote through one point for a 25th-place vote and previous ranking (ACC teams in bold): Record Pts Pvs 1.

ECU had difficulty getting to GSU starter Jim Carragher, a left- handed finesse pitcher,until late in the game when the Eagles had a 4- Olead. After manufacturing a run in the sixth, the Pirates had their best opportunity to mount a comeback in the eighth inning with succes- sive two-out doublesby Chris West and Lee Kushner,cutting the Eagles lead to 4-2. However, GSU left fielder threw out Kushman at the plate as he tried to score on Steven Pitt's single to left. "Theonly thing in the matter is that it's a game that could have been won Overton said. "It'scer- tainly not a game that should have been won but one that could have been won On Saturday, Feb. 13, ECU starter Lyle Hartgrove pitched a strong eight and two-third innings, and the Pirateshad no trouble with Eagle left)' Ron Buffington, a pre- season All-SouthemConference se- lection who was 8-1 last year. Steven Pitt led off the second inning with a double to right field, and one out later Pat Watkins hit a two-run blast to right-center field to give ECU an early 2-0 lead. The Pirates struck again in the fifth inning with five singles and a sacrifice fly to produce three more runs, and Jamie Borel scored an- other run in the sixth to give ECU a 6-0 lead. Both innings were keyed by beautifully executed hit-and-run plays by Borel on the bases and second baseman Frank Fedak with the bat. Phil Cronan, who filled in for injured catcher Mike Peters, led off the seventh with a home run to right field, and Watkins scored an- other run to give the Pirates a com- manding 8-0 lead. Greene finally put the Eagles on the board with a two-run double in the eight and a two-run homer to deep center field in the ninth before Pirate closer Stand 1 Morsecameon to get the final out in the ninth. The final game of the series on Sunday, Feb. 14, looked like a re- peat of game one as another Eagle lefthander, sophomore pitcher Clint Fair, blanked the Pirate hit- ters with an outstanding perfor- mance until he left after seven in- nings with a two-hitter and seven strikeouts. The Pirates mounted a two- out rally in the ninth inning with consecutivesinglesbyKushnerand Pitt before Eagle head coach Jack Stallings brought in closer Paul Thorton, a senior transfer from Florida Community College who was 9-2 with 12 saves and a 2.01 ERA last year. However, Thorton, who hits 92 mphon theradargun,struggled with his control and walked the first two batters he faced before Jason Head flied out to deep left field to end the game.

The disease of AIDS has reo bed epidemic proportions; researchers and experts state that within the. generation every person in the country will know at least one person who has AIDS. The implications of this prediction are staggering; AIDS is not fust something a person can disregard. Tins 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 safer sex campaign is simply put � to save lives. The East Carolinian wt 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 t an a person make this choice, one of the most important decisions heshe will make in hisher life. The last part of this "safer sex campaign" ties all three previous parts into one neat bundle�how to choose a condom. Hopefully, a couple now knows all the facts and risks that are being taken when they decide to engage in intercourse. AIDS has made it a necessity to use a condom whenever engaging in sex. Knowing how to buy condoms, how to use them and how to communicate with a partner about condoms are three essentials parts of the sexual experience. Safety is paramount here � being assured that you are at the least risk possible will eliminate a lot of fear and confusion. The Past Carolinian thanks the students who modeled for this campaign. llfeSfyle (llf-stID n 1. a way of life or style of living that reflects the attitudes and values of an individual or group. Communication is an integral part of the process of sexual intercourse. Intercourse is not just confined to the physical act alone; it encompasses the act, the foreplay and the discussion before and after the act between mutually consenting partners. A person may know all the facts and figures behind AIDS and STDs, but if heshe does not feel comfortable enough discussing them with a partner, they lose their purpose. Agree on how to use andor purchase a condom before having sex. The risk, lethal as it is, is just too great not to take the time beforehand to discuss all the issues. Most people feel uncomfortable when talking about sex or discussing the possibilities of sexually transmitted dis- eases. Concerns range from feelings of inadequacy to feelings of confusion, All of these problems and fears are valid; however, one must overcome them to protect hisher health and life. The first step in improving communication on sex and condoms is to know all the facts. The more you know, the easier it will be to discuss it out in the open. The more you know, the more determined you'll be to engage in safer sex. Next, plan what you want to say. Know all the questions you have and try to anticipate all the questions your partner may have. Decide when to bring the subject up; a quiet time may be better than before having sex. There are many and various reasons a partner can come up with if heshe does not want to use a condom. Knowing exactly how you feel about sex will help to alleviate some confusion; these situations may help with any additional problems. ? "I'm a virgin � "I'm not. This way we'll both be protected T "You carry a condom around with you? You were planning to seduce me � "I always carry one with me because I care about myself. I have one with me tonight because I care about us both ? "It destroys the romantic atmosphere � "It doesn't have to be that way ? "I'll lose my erection by the time I stop and put it on � "I'll help you put it on, that'll help you keep it These examples are, by no means, all of the scenarios a person might find hisherself in. If a person does not care enough about hisher partner to take the time to communi- cate, a problem exists. Sexual intercourse is between two consenting adul s � only when all parts o! this exist can safety be totally ensured. Buying condoms can be one of the most important choices a person can make after deciding to have sex. The size of a condom, the proper way to put a condom on and the proper way to take the condom off are all essential to know before using a condom. Some do's and don'ts follow: On buying, condoms: ? Do check expiration date on outer package. ? Do check name of lubricant. Nonoxynol-9 is the most recommended and provides a chemical barrier against sexu- ally transmitted diseases. ? Do use a water-based lubricant. ? Do store in a cool dry place. ? Do carry a condom with you at all times, either FDA- approved American or Japanese. ? Don't buy condoms made of any material other than latex, which prevents passage of harmful germs. T Don't buy outdated condoms. ? Don't store condoms in hot areas, like a glove compart- ment, as heat can damage a condom. ? Don't carry a condom in a hip wallet for long periods of time � this shortens the life of a condom. Condoms can be bought in various sizes. Condom manu- facturers usually indicate larger sized condoms by names such as "Beyond Seven "Mentor" or "Magnum Smaller sized condoms may be labelled under the phrase "a snugger tit All sizes aside, this does not mean a man must have a larger penis to satisfy his sexual partner. On putting a condom on: ? Do roll condom down on penis as soon as it is erect, before any contact with genitalia occurs. T Do leave 14-12 inch extra space at the tip of a condom if the condom has no nipple. ? Don't unroll condom before putting it on; roll it on all the way toward the base of the penis. ? Don't twist, bite, or prick a condom with a pin � this will damage the condom and may allow fluid to leak out, which may infect a partner. On taking off a condom: ? Do remove condom soon after ejaculation, ? Don't let the penis go soft inside partner. This could allow the condom to drop off, with fluids being leaked out. ? Don't tug to pull a condom off � this may cause the condom to tear. Mutual consent between sexual partners is a necessary ingredient before any of these factors can be considered. Communication is a must in any relationship in order to ensure the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. ARE YOU READY TO Ml ARE YOU READY TO BECOME A TATISTIC? ARE YOU READY TO DISCRIMINATE?
