The plan calls for the demoli- tion of the green maintenance building located near Umstead dormitory and the transfer of all materials and vehicles housed in and around the struc- ture to the buildings behind Eppes Middle School. Moving along with these materials will be the university's Physical Plant and Architectural Planning depart- ment, now headed by Robert Webb. Webb said he and his department are thrilled to be moving to the new location, and said he thinks those concerned about the campus'environment will be happy about the changes. "I think everyone would applaud it Webb said. "(The building) has been outdated for 20 years. The Physical Plant needs to be in one compound and the department needs to grow. We're behind the rest of the universitythis is all part of the reorganization of this de- partment Webb said that the grounds surrounding the facil- ity will be "naturalized" and there are plans to relandscape the grounds for general appear- ance. Webb said the concrete slab located near the structure, previously used for repair and washing the department's maintenance vehicles, will also be removed in the beautifica- tion process. According to Richard Brown, vice-chancellor for busi- ness affairs, this move will not only achieve the primary goal of improving the university's appearance, but will help re- lieve a small portion of its park- ing woes. Brown said that the relocation of university main- tenance vehicles from the park- ing lot in front of the shelter will create approximately 30 parking spaces for the univer- sity. J Brown said beautification was "a major reason" for the dismantling of the building, but that the university's major goal was to create more academic space for the future. Brown said the university plans tohire a landscape designer to help with the project and the dis- mantling of "the green barn" would be completed by the end of the second summer session. Brown also said he is happy to see the removal of "the last really ugly compo- nent of this campus Students offered limited food choices over summer These dedicated ECU students take a break from their summer-studies to ECU dietetics program approved by ADA Photo by Cedric Van Buren search for food in Wright Soda Shop.

The program is designed to teach students about nutrition and the commercial preparation and de- livery of food. According to Helen Grove, dean of the School of Human Environmental Sciences, the ap- proval will last 10 years. "We are especially pleased with the approval because it comes with no stipulations, something which is uncommon in ADA reviews Grove said. ECU's post-baccalaureate program, Preprofessional Prac- tice Program in Dietetics (AP4), was also approved for 10 years. In the past, Ar4hasbeen known as the "Dietetic Internship Pro- gram but more recently it has picked up the ADA terminol- ogy- AP4 is available to students who have baccalaureate degrees and have valid verification state- ments in the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD). After com- pleting the AP4 program, stu- dents can take a registration exam,and upon completion,are registered dietitians. ECU has offered dietetics as a major since 1965. According to Dr. Dori Finley, chair of Nu- trition and Hospitality Manage- ment, students who choose di- etetics as a major have many job opportunities such as becoming clinical, business and consult- ant dietitians, teaching nutrition and food service management, conducting research in nutrition or writing literature about nu- trition and dietetics. Cherry Point added to list of endangered bases RALEIGH (AP) � Two fa- cilities at the Cherry Point Ma- rine Corps Air Station have been added to an updated list of po- tential candidates recommended for closure or reassignment. The Naval Aviation Depot and the Defense Distribution De- pot at the Craven County base are among 69 marked last Friday night by the Defense Base Clo- sure and Realignment Commis- sion. Those facilities join a list of 165 Defense Secretary Les Asp in has recommended for closure or reassignment. A statement released by the Naval Aviation Depot said add- ing its name to the list doesn't mean it would close, nor does it mean the depot will make the final list of recommendations. The statement also said the de- pot has "provided all requested data to the commission, and we stand behind our record. Naval Aviation Depot spokesman Steve Green said this morning that the depot is the larg- est single-site employer east of Interstate 95. He said the depot employs 3,241 people, many of them civilians. It has a payroll of $131.1 million. The depot provides aero- nautical maintenance on a vari- ety of aircraft, engines and com- ponents for all branches of the armed forces. Green said six such facilitiesare operated by the U.S. Navy. Naval officials were not available this morning to provide statistics on the Defense Distri- bution Depot. Lt. Cmdr. Mary Copeland of the Base Structure Analysis Team was not immedi- ately available for comment.

Cardinal J uan Jesus Posadas Ocampo, 66, his driver and five others were caught Monday af- ternoon in a deadly cross-fire be- tween drug traffickers. Police be- lieve Posadas was not shot inten- tionally, a Guadalajara reporter said. Guadalajara, 280 miles northwest of Mexico City, is Mexico's second largest city and the capital of Jalisco state. It long has been a center of operations for several Mexican drug cartels. TV footage showed the slain cardinal, his glasses still in place, slumped across the glass-strewn seat of the bullet-riddled auto. Posadas, one of only two Mexican cardinals, was the third cardinal this century to be assas- sinated worldwide. Hisdeathwasa blow to this predominantly Catholic nation, caught amid a rising wave of drug-related violence.

"Pol ice said they think it's a vendetta between groups of drug dealers Frenceliajaurejui,a re- porter with Siglo 21 newspaper in Guadalajara, said of the shootings. The cardinal's car was in the airport parking lot when it was struck by at least 45 bullets from high-powered weapons, said Jaurejui. A forensic expert, Dr. Mario Rivas Souza, told The Associated Press that the cardi- nal was hit by 14 bullets, mostly to the chest. More than 20 other cars were also hit, said a statement issued by the government of Jalisco state. The state government said an unspecified number of AK-47 automatic rifles, fragmentation grenades, bulletproof vests and rolls of rapid-fire ammunition were discovered among the cars in the parking lot.

Mendenhall and Jones will be opened for the second half of the first summer session and for the first half of the second sum- mer session when the student orientation program requires them to be open. Neither Mendenhall or Jones is open for the entire sum- mer sessions because there is not a big demand for it by the stu- dents. Approximately 6,550 stu- dents are enrolled for the first summer session and about 400 students live on campus. "It's not financially vi- able said Jack Salamon, di- rector of Dining Services.

Atkinson said the Style was developed bv a woman, ut frequently trav- els to the school's other branches to teach, includ- ing the one located in Greenville. Edwards said the recent populari ry of the movie "Dragon a depic- tion of the life of Bruce Lee, has brought a lot of new- students to his schools. "(The movie) has af- fected the school tremen- dously Edwards said. "The general public some- times needs a kick-start to get goingwhen Steven m Segal came out everyone suddenly became interested in akido, now the interest is in Kung Fu. I'm afraid the public is some- times driven by the latest fads Edwards said that despite the recent resurgence brought about by the movie, the interest level has always been high for his school and his branches were "packed He said that study of the style required a lot of disci- pline, a discipline he has found a lot of Americans lack. "Here in America, we have all the luxuries. We can go boat- ing, fishing, traveling, we can do a lot of things with our time. I'm an American, but I learned this style from the Chinese, who don't have a lot of these luxuries and ii. turn devote more to the martial arts Jay Atkinson, a student of Edwards, and the instructor of the Greenville school, attributes the discipline of the Chinese to their history. ii In (ancient China) you didn't train in Kung Fu as some- thing extra-curricu lax, you trained to survive. " Jay Atkinson so it is especially suited for smaller fighters. Atkinson said that one thing that sets his school a pa rt from oth- ers is that it only teaches self de- fense. There are no competitions or belts in the school and the stu- dent focuses entirely on tech- niques that can be used in actual street situations. Another impor- tant facet is that it offers free train- ing for women. Atkinson said that while Edwards trained with po- lice departments and the FBI he wasexposed to many cases of bru- tality against women and now trains them free of charge as a community service. "(Edwards) feels that most women need self defense train- ing. A women is much more likely to be attacked and brutalizedhere at the school we teach them effective techniques to help them deal with such an at- tack HAVENS Atkinson said the styles si- multaneous defense and attack techniques allow a fighter disad- vantaged by smaller size to effec- tively deal with attacks presented to them by larger attackers. In a demonstration of the techniquesof the Wing Chun style, Atkinson allowed me to n attempt to strike him. By the time my fist was fully extended, Atkinson had long since deflected my blow and feigned a punch of his own. He then proceeded to point out a great number of my vulnerabilities caused directly by his execution of oneof Wing Chun's simpler defense techniques. Atkinson then asked how many times 1 thought I could be struck by him before I could recoil and strike back. After witnessing his obvious prowess, I conservatively replied "seventy The Wing Chun school op- erates six days a week and offers classesatvarioustimesduringthe day. Men, after paying the $50 monthly fee, can train at any time the school is open. The classes at the school are of small size with a lot of hands-on work by Atkinson and his instructors. Atkinson is a proficient and charismatic teacher who explains his subject matter well and works at a pace suited to a student's individual needs. I left the Wing Chun with a sore fore arm (from performing a blocking technique under Atkinson's tutelage) and a greater appreciation for the art of this fighting style. I'll still laugh at "Kung-Fu Theater but now from an understanding of the integrity of the real thing. Continued from page 2 poses. The plan was drawn up in an attempt to heal divisions be- tween the United States and its European allies over how to stop the fighting in Bosnia. Most of the allies rejected the Clinton administration's proposal to at- tack Serb forces with warplanes and allow the outgunned Bosnian Muslims to buy arms. Italy's defense minister, Fabio Fabbri, complained that most of the European allies had not been consulted in advance about the plan. The plan proposes to guar- antee safe areas for Bosnian Mus- lims with air power, to deploy monitors on Bosnia's border with Serb-dominated Yugoslavia to keep out arms and to keep in place the "no-fly" zone over Bosnia and a naval blockade of Yugoslavia. Critics say it would tacitly accept thepracticeof ethnic cleans- ing by allowing Bosnian Serbs to retain the 70 percent of Bosnia they now control. British Defense Secretary Malcolm Rifkind denied the plan wou Id gi ve in to the Serbs or force Muslims in the former Yugoslav republic into ghettos. "There can't be any long- term settlement in Bosnia without proper provisions for all commu- nities in Bosnia he said. Rifkind said the proposal was not an abandonment of the U.N. peace plan worked out by mediators Cyrus Vance for the United Nations and Lord Owen for the European Community. That plan would divide Bosnia into 10 semi-autonomous repub- lics based largely on ethnic groups. That plan has been accepted by Bosnia's Muslims and Croats but rejected by Serbs, who would have to give up some land and drop their dream of uniting with neighboring Serbia. France suggested the safe ha vensideaafter the Bosnian Serbs rejected the Vance-Owen plan. The Clinton administration rules out deploying U.S. ground forces in former Yugoslavia, but would use air power to protect U.N. peacekeepers who are at- tacked in the safe areas to be cre- ated under the new peace plan. It was unclear how many troops would be needed to en- force safe areas. There will be an editorial board meeting at 300 today.

Ev- ery viewer brings his or her own set of experiences to each cinematic showing. Noone film will please every viewer in the same way. A question surfaces in the life of a critic that inevitably causes some hair to bristle on the back of his neck. The ques- tion usually frames itself as fol- lows: What gives a critic the right to think that his opinion is better than anyone else's? Because the critic puts his ideas in print the logical con- clusion is that he thinks his ideas are better than the aver- age movie-goer. Because the critic viciously denounces a film that others liked or praises one that others reviled, the con- ception forms that he thinks his opinion should be taken as gospel. A critic's opinion is just that�anopinion.Heisnomore wrong nor right than anyone else. Suffice it to say that the "I" is always implied in everything a critic writes, no matter how pretentious he may sound. He writes because he likes to write and because he loves cinema, not because he feels in any way superior. He possesses some amount of craft, hopefully, in his writing and a fair amount of courage, both which compel him to write his ideas on paper for all to see. That cou ra ge ha s been tested lately for this critic because the last film I panned, "Dave got favorable reviews and received an A- from audiences polled by Cinema Score. I received jeers from friends and family for my comments. Now I plan to endorse a film called "Lost in Yonkers" that has been critically lambasted. Neil Simon wrote the screen- play for "Lost in Yonkers" based on his Broadway play. Though I have never been a Neil Simon fan, I was pleasantly surprised at the tenderness shown in his most recent cinematic effort. "Lost in Yonkers" is certainly not a great film, but it serves as a nice reminder of how good a small film can make you feel (which moviegoers may forget in the midst of the huge sum- mertime blockbusters like "Ju- rassic Park" or "The Last Action Hero"). "Lost in Yonkers" is filled with nice little moments that add uptoa much fuller experi- ence than the contrived BIG moments do. There is a lot of yelling near the climax that detracts from all that has gone before but not enough to ruin the whole experience. The story begins with two young boys, Arty and Yakob, being dropped at their Grandmother's house. Their fa- ther is forced to live on the road for a year to pay off the bills that he incurred while finding cures for his terminally ill wife. The seriousness of the situ- ation is lightened by the two boys' banter about their father's family. They laugh about how stern Grandma (Irene Worth) is and how nutty Aunt Bella (Mercedes Ruehl) is aqd how their other aunt breaths funny. "Did you ever notice says one brother, "that everyone on Dad's side of the family has something wrong with them?" Aunt Bella provides many la ughs beca use her mind works slowly. Though her malady is See YONKERS page 7 Today: Heat Exhaustion Answered by Jennifer Phillips, Student Health Center Question: During the summer months I have a job that requires me to spend a great deal of time outside. What are the signs of heat exhaustion? Answer During hot, humid days, par- ticularly days when there is no breeze, anyone can be affected by heat. The very young, very old, chronically ill, overweight, athletes, and those who work in warm places, are all particularly susceptible to extreme heat. Heatexhaustion typically oc- curs when body fluids are lost through heavy sweating. Because of high humidity or too many layers of clothing, the sweat does not evaporate as it should. As a result, the body does not cool sufficiently. Fluid loss alo de- creases the blood flow to vital organs which results in a form of shock.

The actual faces, especially that of Annie Oakley, are enhanced only slightly, while the rest of the body is highlighted in an off-color and off- kilter style reminiscent of early television's faulty transmission. The medals on Oakley's chest and the military uniform ofTeddy Roosevelt both display Warhol's propensity to experiment with color and form. Some of the portraits are based cnfamousprKtographs;Geronimo's face peersattheaudiencetroma pose first pictured in grammar school his- tory books;theJohnWaynesilkscreen is based on a 12 publicity still from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. This silkscreen is the only one in the collection that bears the word "unique" insteadof itsprintnumber. The story regarding the print's uniquenessdiffersdependingon the source, but accord ing toone version, no one from either the John Wayne FoundationorWarnerBrotherscould give permission for its use. Wayne's son apparently offered to solve the dilemma by suggesting Warhol do- na te one of the prints to be a u ctioned off for charity (noone explained how this solved the problem). In true Warholian fashion, Andy remarked that someone could buya printfrom him, and then donate it, but he was not going to randomly donate any- thing. Another story regarding the print's controversy centers around thepistolheldinWayne'srighthand. The museum's pamphlet suggests that Wayne's Foundation did not like the color of the pistol, which was brown (the reason why is not given). Supposedly Warhol had the color changed; the pistol in the gallery's print is definitely a vivid robin's egg blue. Aside from the portraits of our pop heroes, Warhol's "Cowboy sand Indians" series also includes some more accurate representationsof the American past. A silkscreen of Kachina dolls and one of a North West Indian mask reflect the culture of the real Native Americans, whilea silvery silkscreen of an Indian Head nickel represents the more biased view of American Indians,especially since the word freedom is ironically outlined in bold black. Perhaps the most striking print in the series is that of a mother and child; the bright colors, strong fea- tures and physical closeness relay a more universal view of the original inhabitants of the wild west This print lacks the immediate recogni- tion of a known face, but it lacks nothing in mesmerizing power. However, the show is not com- pletely a return tothemythical west Disney fans will be happy to see a silkscreen of both Mickey and Donald alongside one of Buzz Aldrin's moonlight stroll. For Vari- ety, Hand Painted Flower, the oldest piece in the exhibit (1972) reminds patrons of Warhol's artistic diver- sity. Other prints include a colorful eye-catching speed skater from the 1984 Olympics, and a cubist rendi- tionoftheRollingStones lead singer with his "jagged" hair spiking out- wards � "visual pun intended according to the museum guide.

Two days ago, the first public hearing was held concerning the county's proposed zoning or- dinance; other hearings are pending. These will be scheduled before the Board of Commissioners votes on a final proposal in the coming months. The Pitt County Planning Board has put to- gether a zoning ordinance proposal detailing the possibilities in store for unincorporated land. County officials plan to adopt zoning for 350,000 acres of the unincorporated parts of Pitt County. Along with the proposal comes a bit of controversy concerning the advantages of present planning and so-called "future planning Some land owners are concerned that zoning would strip them of their property rights. For some, this belief stems from the fact that an ordi- nance would control land use by designating areas of the county for certain types of development. In other words, the county would look at an area of land, decide what its present position is in devel- opment and deem it resi- dential, commer- cial or ru- ral. The Planning Board and Planning Department staff have been toiling over this pro- posed ordinance for the past two years. Their deci- sion has not been anywhere close to rash, so when people question the approach, one has to wonder. What good could possibly come out of a zon- ing designation that guesses at future develop- ment activities? The Planning Board might as well consult the tarot cards or read tea leaves to decide the future of land development in Pitt County. Sound ridiculous? Future planning is more or less the same game. The consequences could result in over-populated residential districts, or worse, empty lots where some visionary thought residents would want to move. Would they then use a crystal ball, or take out a map of Pitt County, close their eyes and point? Fortunately, the most logical road is the one that the Planning Department has taken: Current Planning Lane. The question they are asking is: what is most important to the needs of Pitt County at this point and time? The ordinance establishes eight zoning dis- tricts that suit the developmental needs in the county. The districts include two rural, two non- residential and four residential areas. These have been applied to existing needs and do not show future development potential. When accepted, the planning staff will make suggestions on proposed uses and the great gurus at the county commissioners office will decide the fate of the county. Successful future development can be influenced by bringing into effect the past accomplishments, present variables and a vision. Support the Planning Board and be a part of the future of Pitt County. We can all share in the vision.

Have your parents ever laid a big guilt trip about how hard they have to work just to put you through college and how you don't realize just how good, how easy you have it? If so, you might want to force them to read this edition of RtM. Third parties who agree with your argumentsalways seem to work more persuasively in a discussion. So this one's for your parents. You can thank me later. Hopefully, this'll help you out. Now parents, we, your chil- dren, are not quite the ignorant and ungrateful slobs you some- times take us for. Most of us real- ize just how hard you work as well as the enormous responsi- bilities and burdens you must shoulder. We know that it can't be easy to keep up the mortgage pay- ments, make the car payments, support the family and put one or more children through four or more very expensive years of col- lege. You have our very sincere gratitude and thanks. We, the chil- dren, say "Thank You While most of usrespect you, Printed on aaaam 100 recycled paper the parents, it very often doesn't seem like a mutual respect. Haven't you at least once used the "You don't know how good you have it When I was young, I had to speech on your children? Go on, admit it. All parents do it, and we (in all likelihood) will one day do the same to our children. That still doesn't make it any less an- noying or unfair. Think back, if you will, to when you were young, if you can remember back that far (just kid- ding)! Doyou remember what you had to do during that time in your life and how hard it was? Prob- ably not. It seems that most adults forget the bad times once they've survived their trials by fire. Then, adults condemn the young when they complain about going through the same thing. Being a teenager in the '90s is noeasy business. Each generation has its problems. I'm not so sure what the big problems were dur- ing your generation, and I would not presume to try to explain to you what they were. But I can plainly see what the malfunctions are in my generation. We've got loads of illegal drugs, global warming, waning rainforests, pol- lution, inflation, a staggr ring defi- cit, increasingly volatile racial re- lationships, an unstable world political situation, rising costs of med:one and education the list is endless. Throughout this whole increasingly complex mess, we've all got to try to figure out who we are and what we want to do with our lives. While all of this is going on, we're busy trying to leam things that will help us later in life. At the same time, we're studying for life and many of us also work full or part-time jobs. Try to imagine go- ing to four hours of classes about subjects you know virtually noth- ing about and trying to absorb that knowledge, and then going to work for another five or six hours (often difficult work for skimpy wages). Some of us may be putting in over 50 hours a week between school and our jobs, and it is most definitely not easy. Consider how tired you are after a 9 to 5 day. Consider how tired you might be after an 8 to 8 day, and then getting a slim paycheck at the end of the week. We do not ask for your pity. The times, they are a- changin and so is the process of growing up � we accept that. We ask only for the respect that we deserve for the efforts that we put forth in our daily lives. We should not be bothered with tales of youthful woe from back in the Bad Old Days. The now has its problems too, and we along with it. We do not need to be burdened with the ghosts of your troubled past; we have plenty of our own. So parents, understand that we are proud of you, and we appreciate what you have done for us. We only ask that you tell us the same with sincer- ity and respect. Now stop reading, think about it, go get a pizza and watch some cartoons yOU KNOW, I D0NT AS"K MUCH OF yoU TWO JUST SorAE &BSHCT.

Abraham Lincoln Letters to the Editor Christian proclaims God's love unconditional To the Editor: I'm writing this letter in response tojim Senyszyn's let- ter "Atheist uses Bible to show error of homophobes" in or- der to expose inconsistencies and false statements concern- ing his desperate attempt to use God's very Word (the Bible) to contradict God's plan for natural sexual relation- ships. First, I will address spe- cific Scripture references that Senyszyn uses in his letter that when simply read just don't seem to support his viewpoint. Senyszyn quotes Dr. Arthur Frederick Ide, "in nei- ther Leviticus 18:22 nor Deuteronomy 23:18 is there a reference to homosexuality OK, let's read it, from the New American Standard version, Leviticus 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination As far as Deuteronomy 23:18 is concerned, it totally deals with a different issue which is not used in denouncing ho- mosexuality. In Matthew 10:14-15 and Luke 10:10-12, the article says that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of their inhospitality to strang- ers. According to the NIV Life Application Bible's footnotes, "The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire from heaven because of their wickedness (Genesis 19:24-25). Those who reject the gospel when they hear it will be worse off than the wicked people of these destroyed cit- ies, who never heard the gos- pel at all As to his references of positive homosexual affairs reported in the Bible, every one of these situations deals with strong, emotional friendships and heartfelt love for one an- other and have absolutely nothing to do with sexual rela- tions. As far as the "homoerotic" poetry in the Song of Solomon, the language used there is between a man and a woman in the context of marital relations. 1 Cor. 6:9 says, "Or do you not know that the unrigh- teous shall not inherit the king- dom of God? Do not be de- ceived; neither fbmicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals shall inherit the kingdom of God Additional Scripture references tha t deal specifically with the issue of homosexual- ity are Rom. 1:26-27 and Tim. 1:10. As Christians, we do not condemn individuals, but can- not accept acts of disobedience towards God's truth as being justified. We see no sin as be- ing greater than the other and proclaim that God is willing to receive anyone who comes to him in faith, accepting the re- ality of Christ's death on the cross and resurrection as pay- ment for the penalty of our sinful nature. Many homo- sexuals believe that their de- sires are normal and that they have a right to express them. But God does not obligate nor encourage us to fulfill all our desires (even normal ones). Those desires that violate his laws must be controlled. HartCoker Clay Deatherage By T. Scott Batchelor Social decline caused by lack of family values I grew up about 20 miles south of Greenville in a rural area. Throughout my childhood and up until the time I left home, in 1986, peopledidn't lock their homes when they went out for a short while. The same thing with their vehicles. Now, because of the rapid increase in criminal activity in the area, thingsarediffer- ent, and have been for the past three or four years. Our society has grown progressively sicker at an alarming rate for the past 30 years. William Bennet, a former cabinet mem- ber in die Bush administration, feels that American culture is in decline, and he has proof to back up that assessment. Bennet has collected data in a docu- ment he calls "The Index of LeadingCultural Indicators This index charts several cul- tural indicators between the years 1960 to 1990. Such factors as the number of crimes committed, teen pregnancy rates, abortion rates, average SAT scores and instances of child abuse make up the index. Without fail, every indicator which should be up is down, and every indicator that should be down is up (with apologies to Al Gore for borrowing his campaign mantra). Bennet notes that this precipitous de- cline in American culture comes during a roughly 30- year period of incredible gov- ernment spending.Sincel960,Bennet'sdocu- ment points out, total social spending by government has increased a whopping 500 percent to a present total of almost $800 billion. Yet interestingly and frighteningly, during this same period, social pathologies increased and educational achievements de- creased. Here are some examples cited in Bennet document: average SAT scores have declined 80 points, violent crime has in- creased by 560 percent, illegitimate births have risen by 419 percent, divorce rates have quadrupled, the teen suicide rate has gone up by 200 percent and reported casesof child abuse have risen to2.7 million cases per year. Certainly some of this decline can be attributed to an increase in population. But a 41 percent population increase in the United States between 1960 and 1990 can't possibly account for the majority of the increases in crime, teen pregnancy and child abuse. Bennet believes that this marked deg- radation is the result of the declining atti- tudes and beliefs of Americans. He cites social scientist James Q. Wilson's theory that "people, especially young people, have em- braced an ethos that values self-expression over self-control It is no surprise that even those who live in the hinterland, like my parents, have recently become more wary and cautious and more sensitive overall to the potential of Letters to the Editor tattled with a daytime phone:number.

When George Bush and Dan Quayle spokeof family valuesduring the 1992 presi- dential campaign, they were belittled for their stance. Think about it this way: if the government has spent so much money on social programs over the last three decades tono avail, what can the problem be? It's not a lack of intervention by government; so it must have something to do with the ethos of society itself. Therein lies the cure for America's declining cultural health. MAY 26, 1993 Student ID card key to affordable visits han rv metimes n;ht by her house before ng where she is or if she out clothes while storm Reoorts clouds are moving in. Bella loves life and theaudience laughs with her, not at her. Mercedes Ruehl lit up the silver screen asDeanStockwell's wife in "Married to the Mob" and as Jeff Bridges' girlfriend in "The Fisher King Here she gets her first starring opportunity in a role she originally played on stage. Ruehl infuses Bella with just the right amount of dizzi- ness. Ruehl alone is worth the price of admission. The supporting roles are filled in nicely also, especially Richard Dreyfuss' part (he got top billing because he has the only big name in this ensemble). He plays Bella's sister, Louie, a small time gangster, who tries to teach his nephews the mean- ing of movie. "Lost in Yonkers" gets heavy-handed near the end and the histrionics spiral into a frenzy as various characters scream at each other. The story also loses its focus so much so that Simon leaves the audience wondering if they missed the point because the focus narrows to Bella in the last 20minutes. Despite the negative press this film has received (which I usually try never to let influence me) I recommend " Lost in Yon- kers if not in the theatre, at least on video. By the way, if you watch "Lost in Yonkers" and really hate it, please don't hate me, I'm just a critic.

Consider this, the edu- cated person will say "the refer- ence is ambiguous and "he'sam- bidextrous while the uneducated will say "I don't get it" and "cool! he can use botha his hands And why? So that those with education will have one up on those who don't. And what does this prove? The Man is always out there, talk- ing in codes and puttin' one over on you! But hey, forget The Man for once, if you can. I know it's hard cause he's got his hand in your pocket and on your fork and he's in your house, screaming at you from the TV. But let's pretend that The Man is our friend and life is good and everyone loves you. I do, you k; -w. With this serenity, let's talk abov t weddings. Well, no, we can't, cause God knows The Man is everywhere in the wedding scene, making a buck every time you turn around. So forget all that and let's talk about these pseudo-rebels that SeeIinCi is BEliEviiiq troli around campus like they're making a statement. I've got to say it: wash your hair or cut it or something, put some shoes on them nasty feet, and please please please throw them raggedy-more- holes-than-denim jeans out the door! Bum 'em! Whew! I'm felling better. St hey! Why is the Cra- nium against these pseudo-rebels, these freaks, these miscreant wanna-bes? The Cranium don't pull for nobody but the Cranium, baby. Sure I love ya, sure I'm there for ya, but damn if you're helping overthrow The Man by looking like some throwback to the damn Summer of Love. It takes ed ucation to set things right, not a tie-dyed Iron Butterfly T- shirt, ponytail and earth shoes. It ain't vests and leather jackets and hiking boots and body suits, ei- ther. And hey! MissPriss! It ain't your sorority pin and add-a-beads! It is you! Me! Us. It's a beautiful thing. Being an individual and beingdifferentdoesn'tcome from looking like the Alien, it comes from thinking, acting, and feeling likean individual.The key here is loveof nature and love of human- ity. If you are special, man, and I think you are, people will know it. You don't need to advertise by wearing black socks and sandals, or white socks and bucks. Those little cliques that reinforce your worthiness, they don't help the cause. No, it's the inside baby. What you have is what you are. Now I know what you're thinking, you're thinking I'm ad- vocating uniformity. Nobabyno. What I'm advocating is looking like a human being. 1 mean, we can't be James Dean or Bob Marley or Malcolm X, so why bother tryin to look like 'em. Really, if you're trying to make your statement by lookin' like a circus freak, then your state- ment is, "I dress like a freak be- cause I am a freak and I want you tobeawareof myfreakiness So go you blistering Freakenstein. But that's wrong, make your state- ment through words and deeds. Be known for what you do, not what you look like. And look, prissy girls. Take off some of that make-up please and I do mean please! Good god! The person under the Metallica tank top and shaggy hair is almost visible, but you, under that foundation and rouge and mascara and stuff, we don't know who you are. Be you! If you're ugly as hell, be ugly, but don't wear a Prince Valiant haircut to frame your ugliness. If you're beautiful, be beautiful without all that prissy be-bopping. I mean it. Hey look, I've rambled on. And I haven't been mean. Iapolo- gize. Remember � Iloveya. But you can't come to my house look- ing like an ad for sheer grunge. The revolution is coming.

By Matthew Wright Staff Writer With a rain-soaked confer- ence tournament championship in their pocket, the Pirates re- turned to Greenville to await the announcement of post-season pairings. On Monday afternoon the ECU baseball team, along with about 30 of their closest pals and media types, piled into the Buccaneer Room at Scales Field House to watch ESPN's telecast of the NCAA pairings. Sighs of disappointmentech- oed in the room as ECU received a No. 5 seed. The Pirates, with a record of 40-17, were paired with the University of South Carolina, the no. 2 seed, with a record of 38-18-1. ECU has made the NCAA tournament in five of the last seven years.

With Larry Bird and Magic Johnson retired, Barkley had only Michael Jordan of those three to beat out, and the NBA announced this morning mat that's exactly what Sir Charles had done. "I don't know what criteria they use. One year, I should have won, but it's just one of those things the 6-foot-6 forward said Monday night after helping the Phoenix Suns beat Seattle 105-91 in Game i of the Western Confer- ence final. Barkley won the award with 835 points, including59 first-place votes. Barkley and Jordan were the only players named on all 98 ballots cast by a panel of sports writers and broadcasters in NBA cities. Yet, Jordan finished only third, behind Hakeem Olajuwon of Houston. Olajuwon had 647 points, including 22 first-place votes, while Jordan had 565 points and 13 first-place votes. The remaining four first-place votes went to Patrick Ewing of New York, who was fourth with 359 points. Bird won the award in 1984, '85 and '86. Johnson won in '87, '89 and '90, and Jordan won in 1988 and the past two years. Moses Malone was MVP in 1982 and '83. Barkley completed the regu- lar season with a career total of 16,128 points, a 235 average, and 8,007 rebounds, averaging 11.7. In his first season with Phoe- nix, which traded three starters to acquire him from Philadelphia last June, Barkley averaged 25.6 points, 12.2 rebounds and a per- sonal-best 5.1 assists. Orlando pulls a trick out of their hat Tagliabue receives contract extension ATLANTA (AP) � NFL com- missioner Paul Tagliabue says his contract extension will bringstability to the league. Tagliabue's extension was an- nounced Monday at the owners' spring meeting, the Atlanta Journal- Constitution reported in today's editions. Financial terms were not dis- closed. Tagliabue, 53, was elected oornmissionerinNovernberl989and given a five-year contract averaging about$l millionannuaily. Theexten- sion goes to May 2000. "The most important thing is mat it gives us a management team in place for the future, and that's goodfbrthelong-termstabilityofthe league Tagliabue said. "This is, indeed, very positive news for the NFL dubs, the players, and the fans New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson said. "We look forward toPaul'sleadershipascom- missioner for the remainder of the decade At the annual March league meetings in Palm Desert, Calif a three-man committee consisting of Benson, HoustonownerBud Adams and San Diego owner Alex Spanos was authorized to negotiate the con- tract extension. Inother action Monday, the NFL unveiled the logo for the 1994 Super Bowl, to be held in theGeorgia Dome in Atlanta. The logo features a peach behind a large XXVrn. NFL owners adopted a new Super Bowl site selection plan in which the following cities will be invited to bid for future games: �1997: New Orleans, San Di- ego, Tampa. �1998: Atianta,Houston,Pasa- dena. �1999: Miami, Phoenix, San Francisco. �200ft Thesixnon-selectedsites from 1997,1998 and 1999. �2001: Atlanta, New Orleans, Phoenix(unlessoneofthethreeisthe si te for 2000, in which case a third city will be added). The NFL planned to announce the fraixhise fee fonts twoproposed expansion teams today. The Journal-Constitution said NFL owners were expected to settle onapricetagofbetween$150 million and$165 million, not indudinginter- est payments, making it the largest franchise payment in sports history. The five candidate dties are Bal- timore,Chariotte,Jacksonville,Mem- phis and St Louis. The two new teams will be named at an owners meeting Oct 26-28 in Chjpgo, and will begin play in 1995. NEW YORK (AP) � First came amazement. Then resent- ment. The Orlando Magic, a 1-in- 66 longshot, won the NBA draft lottery for the second year in a row Sunday. The Magic's incredible good fortune evoked jealous reactions from most teams, but the Minne- sota Timberwolves were just plain mad. "It's a joke, a complete joke general manager JackMcCloskey said in an unusually bold fit of public anger. "Orlando getting the number one pick is not what this draft � or any draft � is meant to be The 11 team representatives present for the lottery were abso- lutely shocked when commis- sioner David Stern opened an en- velope with the logo of the No. 2 choice (Philadelphia), leaving Or- lando the winner. "There was total silence, ab- solute dead silence for about three seconds Golden State as- sistantGM Gregg Popovich said. Orlando had only one of 66 ping pong balls in a cylinder from which balls were plucked one at a time to determine the draft or- der. Magic general manager Pat Williams, who won the lottery last year and chose eventual rookie of the year Shaquille O'Neal, said he hadn't even con- sidered the possibility of choos- ing No. 1 overall. "I can't believe it was the first thing he said. "What can I say � it's magic. Suddenly, we went from No. 11 to No. 1 The other end of the spectrum fea- ture d McCloskey and Dallas Mavericks general man- a g e r Norm Sonju lament- ing their luck. "It kind of defeats the pu rpose of using the d raft to build the weaker teams Sonju said. "There was enough discussion among the guysup there thatl'msure they'll do something. I'd be very sur- prised if there wasn't some groundswell (for changing the lottery system) The NBA adjusted the lot- tery in 1990, switching to a weighted formula to give the teams with the worst records a better chance at getting the best players. Now that Orlando has bucked the long odds, it could be changed again. "Aside from us a nd Orlando, I'd say it wasa real downer for all the other lot- tery teams Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "I think t h e league has to take a hard look at this lottery system. It wouldn't surprise me if there would be some changes in order First, however, the draft has to take place June 30 at Auburn Hills, Mich. Speculation abounds on what Orlando will do. Will the Magic choose Shawn Bradley, a 7-foot-6 center from Brigham Young who hasn't played for two years? Will they fill a gapinghole at forward with Michigan's Chris Webber or Kentucky's Jamal Mashburn? Will they pull off a trade? Nelson certainly hopes so, and he's already announced that he'd be interested in the Magic's pick. Golden State ended up with the third spot, behind Philadelphia. In the days leading to the draft, Williams had said that if Orlando won the lottery it would be tantamount to "World War III breaking out, with Swit- zerland winning On Sunday, Switzerland won. It was the first time since the lottery was shifted to a weighted system in 1990 that a non-playoff team with the best record captured the right to pick first. The 76ers earned the sec- ond pick and Golden State the third. The fourth through 11th picks�determined by inverse order of the teams' regular-sea- son records � went to Dallas, Minnesota, Washington, Sacra- mento, Milwaukee, Denver, Mi- ami and Detroit. The Heat has the option of sending its pick to the Pistons to complete an ear- lier trade. See NBA page 10 -�.�. nnm Robin Yount was a regular at shortstop for the Milwaukee Brewers at the age of 18. Bob Gibson, Cardinal righthander, once struck out three straight batters on nine pitches. Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew had three big league seasons without a stolen base. The long-time manager of the Dodgers, Walt Alston, had only one time at bat in the major leagues. Big League manager Sparky Anderson batted .218 for the Phillies in 1959, his only major league season. Former manager Ralph Houk was called the "Iron Major" in World War II. Yogi Berra played in 14 World Series for the Yankees and was on 10 winners. Jack Dempsey was heavyweight champion for seven years, from 1919 to 1926. Max Schmeling von the heavyweight title from Jack Sharkey on arfbul in 1930 and lost it back in 1932. MAY 26. 1993 kmmm sU! Lmfmm Continued from page 9 n the rain extra batting practice Piratefirst baseman Lee Kushner quipped. Watkins is representative f thesuccess that the ECU baseball program has achieved. He is on the verge of accelerating his suc- cess on the field even further as he has been invited to try out for Team USA (the team America sends to the Olympics and other world competitions). Pat heads Hamill and -ton, TN on June 9 for a to five day try-out. If he makes the team, Watkins, will go Hutea road trip. Team USA is slated to play in Italy, Cuba, and Nicaragua. Of course with this opportu- nity comes the possibility of be- ing drafted in June by a profes- sional team. Watkins is quick to avoid questions of what he'll do if he's drafted. "I'll have to wait and see Watkins said. "My first focus is on ECU and getting to the Col- lege World Series NBA The drafting order for the teams that made the playoffs has already been set. The Magic will have the op- tion of pairing 7-foot-6 center Shawn Bradley alongsideO'Neal. Chris Webber of Michigan and Jamal Mashburn of Kentucky have also been mentioned as pos- sible No. Is, but it's Bradley who creates the most intriguing possi- bilities. Would Orlando dare team a 7-foot rookie of the year and a player almost a half-foot taller? Or will they take the safe route and take Webber or Mashburn, thereby solidifyinga position that was manned last season by Terry Catledge, Jeff Turner, Anthony Bowie and Tom Tolbert? The Magic will make their choice known when the draft is held June 30 at Auburn Hills, Mich. "It's the best of all possible worlds Williams said. Bradley didn't play the last two seasons because he was serv- ing a Mormon mission in Austra- lia. He has excellent talent but isn't yet heavy enough to bang around with the league's best big men. Still, general managers find it hard to resist his lure. Webber, a 6-9 forward who led the Wolverines to the national championship the past two sea- sons, is the first member of the famed Fab Five class to head to the pros. He shot 62 percent from the field and averaged 19.2 points and 10.1 rebounds per game last season. Mashburn, a 6-8 forward who can score inside or outside, averaged 21 points as a junior. He was the first underclassman Continued from page 9 to declare himself eligible for the draft. Other underclassmen ex- pected to go early include Anfernee Hardaway, a 6-7 guard from Memphis State with exceptional shooting range, and Rodney Rogers, a muscular 6-7 forward with a nice shooting touch. The top-rated seniors in- clude Calbert Cheaney of Indi- ana, a consistent shooter and scorer, and Duke point guard Bobby Hurley, perhaps the best playmaker available. (AP)�Guess who is the most popular athlete in America. Michael Jordan? Nope. Joe Montana? Nope. Nolan Ryan? Nope, nope, nope. Dorothy Hamill and Mary Lou Retton, long past their Olympic glory years, astonishingly are tied as America's most beloved athletes, according to a poll released to The Associated Press. Jordan, Montana, Ryan and Wayne Gretzky lead their sports in popularity among currentcompeti- tors, yet all four trail far behind Hamill, the 1976 gold medal figure skater, and Retton, the 1984 gold medal gymnast. Mike Tyson is the most hated athlete in the country, according to the poll,drawingfar more negative ratings than runners-up Pete Rose, John McEnroe and Jose Canseco on the list of 809 active, retired or de- ceased sports personalities. New York YankeesbossGeorge Steinbrenner is the most disliked team owner. Muhammad Ali and Babe Ruth are the best known athletes, their names recognized by more than 97 percent of Americans. Yet the most popular former baseball player is Henry Aaron, whose rating is only slightly behind the virtual tie for No. 1 by Retton and Hamill. "Being well known doesn't necessarily mean popular said Nye Lavalle, head of Sports Mar- keting Group in Dallas, which con- ducted the survey as part of its on- going "America's Study acultural and social census of the country. "Michael Jordan is well known, but he's not as well known as Muhammad Ali. Yet Jordan is more popular Lavalle said. "And de- spite the perception by many people that Jordan is the mostpopularath- lete in the country, the reality is he's not. His image has suffered in the last year, especially with that gam- bling incident. "Mary Lou Retton and Dor- othy Hamill represent that whole- some, energetic,spirited,honest,all- American image that cuts across gender, all ages and all regions of the country The poll, based on responses from 1,479 questionnaires returned last November and December, re- flects the views of Americans 12 years old and up and has a margin oferrorofplusorminus2.6 percent. Retton and Hamill, loved or considered a favorite by 55 percent Retton most popular athletes in America according to poll ofthosepolled,haven'tbeen01ym- Athletes as a whole are well rPi� with rim�, r� . � ' of those polled,haven'tbeen01ym piansfora long time. But both have enhanced their images since their gold-medal days. Retton, 25, travels almost con- stantly, giving motivational talks, putting on occasional exhibitions and serving as special ad visor to the President'sCouncil on Physical Fit- ness and Sports. Hamill, 36, performed in the Ice Capades for nine years, pu tting on 13 shows a week in 36 cities a year. She's still performing and re- cently bought the Ice Capades. "I'm totally thrilled even to be mentioned with those names, and it's incredible and extremely flat- tering to be ahead of people like Michael Jordan Retton said from Houston, where she is preparing to narrate a show with the Houston Symphony. "I can remember being young and watching Dorothy. I wantedtohavemvhaircutlikeshe did. She was the all-American girl and was one of my idols growing up. "As a competitor, I was a verv emotional athlete. When I did well, I showed my feelings. When I had to score that perfect 10 to win the gold medal, and when I did it, my emotions came outand I was rejoic- ing.Ithinkall of America was tuned in and felt that same moment with me Retton and Hamill each still receive hundreds of fan letters a week. "I must say that people are so kind and so gracious to me, it al- ways surprises me Hamill said from New York. "Maybe what all of these (popular athletes) have in common is that they're really first- class people and they happen todo something extraordinarily well. They're really good, genuine people. That's what I've noticed about a lot of the athletes that I've really admired Athletes as a whole are well liked, probably more so than other celebrities, Lavalle said. Being con- troversial can hurt an athlete's popu- larity, but not always. Martina Navratilova, who has openly discussed and writtenabout herlesbian relationships, is the most popular active women's tennis player, although she trails former rival Chris Evert, now retired. "It's interesting that Martina had a higher rating than Jennifer Capriati, who won rheOlympicgold last year, and Monica Seles, who's No. 1 Lavalle said. "It shows that people respect her a lot Hamill agreed, noting that Navratilova had a key ingredient, besides championship ability and longevity, that results in popular- ity. "She's honest. She doesn't pre- tend to be something she's not. I think the people really pick up on that. I admire Martina for thatHamill said. In men's tennis, sass and flash reign, with Jimmy Connors most popular among the retired or semi- retired players and Andre Agassi tops among the active players. Even though survey results might have been far different if con- ducted in, say, sports bars or at events, the athletes favored by the general public shared certain char- acteristics. "We divide the athletes into fivecategories: megastars, super- stars, stars, rising stars and wanna- be stars or nobodies Lavalle said. "What separates a megastar is longevity, character, all-time per- formance and graciousness. Maybe the missing ingredient in the regu- lar stars is graciousness. You can see it in Mary Lou Retton, Dorothy Hamill, Nolan Ryan and Joe Mon- tana. Looks aren't the factor. It's that spirit, charisma and charm that each of these people possesses. Communication skills help, but Nolan Ryan and Joe Montana are not great communicators. They're great men and great athletes. Hu- mility is another factor Bo Jackson, the second most popularbaseball player, is far ahead of any other major leaguer. "It's not just his performance Lavalle said. "Look at what he's overcome and achieved in base- ball and football. He also embod- ies that all-American, wholesome look.
