The words "conflict of inter- est" have forced three employees of ECU'sradiostation,WZMB,tomake an important decision�one which other members of student media may eventually have to make them- selves. Thursday, May 27, the ECU Media Board met toaddressseveral issues Last on their agenda was an issue labeled "WZMB conflict of in- terest" Thus, a can of worms, so to speak, was opened. Beth Arthur, general manager of WZMB, said a check was discov- ered, about two or three weeks ago, that former general manager Tim Johnsonhad written to TheEastCnro- linian in March. The check paid for an advertisement promoting one of the two bands Johnson was manag- ing outside of his WZMB employ- ment From misinformation, Arthur discovered that Kevin Brelsford, program director for WZMB, and Taul Meador, music director for WZMB, were managing, promot- ing and booking club dates for two bandswith Johnson, underthename subZero management and promo- tions (sic). According to the University Media Board Code of Ethical Con- duct, adopted by the University Media Board April 15,1991, such outside involvement poses a con- flict of interest The ethics policy states, "Staff members are prohibited from using their positions in the student media and the influence of the student media to benefit any outside em- ployment enterprise. Any outside employment that creates, or gives the appearanceof creating, a conflict of interest is prohibited Arthur, upon learning of the additional activities,gave the WZMB employees threeoptions: they could cease managing the bands, cease employment at WZMB or address the Media Board and request per- mission to continue both activities. Brelsford and Meador chose toaddress theboard.Johnson, work- ingasadisc jockey for WZMB,chose to await the board's decision. "(The Code of Ethical Con- duct) gives an example which is pretty clear-cut Arthur said. "Any- body with a little bit of common sense can figure out what that is Rudolph Alexander,assistant vice chancellor of Student Life and director of University Unions, ex- plained: "The conflict of interest doesn't mean that you have given preferential treatrnenttotherecords these bands own, but it's still a con- flict of interest because there is the potential thatyou could do this in the eyes of the public out there, the pub- licbeing the students, the university community it is not etr-cal Susan Stewart, Media Board chairperson, agreed with Alexander and issued the board's decision: "I think it's a serious conflict of inter- est, to me it's very blatant, (Arthur) needs to tell (anyone pre- sentingaconflictofintErest)tomake their decision, either quit subZero management and promotions or quit WZMB Stewart expressed regret to see the employees leave, but added it's just wrong As of Monday, May 31, Brelsford had formally resigned from his WZMB position, as had Johnson. Meador chose to remain at WZMB as music director. 'It's in my best interest Brelsford said, "We're under a le- gal ly binding contract with subZero "I'm staying here (at WZMB) Meador saidT've put See WZMB page 2 Remodeling of the Student Store is well on its way to providing a more up to date facility for students. Automatic teller machine built on central campus Photo by Cadric Van Buran Student Store receives facelift By Scott Vanhorne Staff Writer The Student Store is going through renovations this sum- mer. Anyone walking into the store can tell by the smell of paint and freshly cut wood that mas- sive changes are taking place. The manager of the Stu- dent Store, Michael Coston, said that unlike most retail stores, his facility has not been renovated in 20 years. He also said that the cur- rent renovations will bring the store to modern standards, mak- ing the store a more pleasing place to shop. The remodeling will cost $354,000 and revenues from the storea re pay ing for theconstruc- tion. However, Mr. Coston be- lieves that the new store will hold down costs of running the business by unlizingspace more effectively. By decreasing the Stu- dent Store's costs, Mr. Coston hopes the store can pass the sav- ingsontostudents with lower book prices. Many of the employees are pleased with the changes. "The new store will have reg- isters in different locations said employee AllieWashingtonThat will make us more efficient be- cause allof the students won't have to go to one place to check out The plansalso include a way of making the Student Store easier torecognizeSome times students come in here and don't even know where they are said Washing- ton. The renovations include a large emblem of the Pirate on the lobby floor mat will help future students know they are in the Stu- dent Store. Although most of the staff agree the changes will make the store look better, some think that the plan may cause more theft. One employee, who asked to re- main anonymous, described the layout as "a thieves' paradise Many students like the fact thatthe storeisbeingremodeled. "I think it's awesome said Paul Richardson, a senior communi- cations major. "The renovated store wil 1 be more organized, big- ger and better suited to meet the need s of ECU's growing popula- tion The Student Store is plan- ning toexpand its general books, art supplies, and computer ac- cessories areas. There are also plans to start renting videos to students. The project, which started in late March, should be com- pleted by June 23. However, if you would like a sneak peek of whatthenewstorewill looklike, mere is a picture standing inside the store that gives a good idea of what to expect. By Shannon Cooper Staff Writer The mysterious little build- ing that suddenly appeared in front of the Student Stores last month is actually there for the benefit of students. TheState Employ ee'sCredit Union automatic teller will be placed in the new structure cur- rently under construction. It is lo- cated in front of the Student Store between Rawl and Austin. The new automatic teller will be beneficial for anyone on campus. "It will be convenient for faculty and students said Michael Coston, director of retail services. "The Credit Union's inter- est in locating one of their auto- matic tellers on campus was initi- ated by a demand from ECU fac- ulty and students. "A lot of our members are faculty and students and they want access to their money through our automatic tellers said RussTaylor,branch manager of the State Employee's Credit Union. The new teller will be lo- cated between Rawl and Austin. This location was chosen for con- venience and security reasons. The building for the future site of the automatic teller is provided by the Credit Union, which is a member of the Plus Network. "The building is very ex- pensive Coston said. "You don't just put up four walls "The Credit Union's cost was in the neighborhood of $30,000 Taylor said. The actual date of comple- tion for the new teller is not known. "We're not certain, but we hope to have it open as soon 4�4QSsibleCDSton said. ? "Power should be in this week Taylor said.

"We believe the abolishment of kegs will be a step in a positive direction said Dave Hart, athletic director. Kegs will nolongerbeallowed at Harrington Field, the Frisbee-Golf Field, the field across from Allied Health and the adjacent rugby field. Although canned and bottled beer will still be allowed, the Safety Task Force believes that by getting rid of kegs, fighting and disruption can be reduced. "Wehad fightslastyearwhich is very unfortunate said Lt Keith Knox, crime prevention officer. "It looks bad to have the ambulance come out several times. "A lot of people who come (to tailgate) never make it to the game Knox said. Knoxadded thatproblemscre- ate news which gives a bad impres- sion of the university. "We want to maximize the ex- perience and minimize the prob- lems Hart said. Members of the Safety Task Force, which include Dean Ronald Speier, Vice Chancellor Alfred Matthews, Athletic Director Dave Hart, Associate Director of Athletics for Administration Henry VanSant, Lt Keith Knox, as well as several other campus officials, assured stu- dent leaders that this will not be the first step towardsendingalldrinking during tailgating. "My main concern is that we keep the tailgating KeithDyer,SGA Pr 3identsaid. According to VanSant, the decision to abolish kegs from tail- gatingwasa university regulation, not an athletic decision.

Hart said that the university hopes to promote responsible drinking in establishing this new regulation. 29 percent tuition increase expected in fall By Gina Jones Staff Writer On Thursday, May 28, the N.C. House of Representatives and the Sen- ate passed a bill that approved the rais- ing of state funds for abortion, higher pay for state workers and a tuition in- crease for the University of North Caro- lina school system. The change has been coming about since Gov. Jim Hunt put the $9.1 billion budget in operation. When the bill was first proposed, the expected increase was 20 percent per year for five years. After a lengthy deliberation, the House of Representatives and the Sen- ate passed the bill that included a 29 percent increase for in-state students and an eight percent increase for out- of-state students. "I hope the increase will be as small as possible. The country is still in a recessionary period UNC president Dr. CD. Spangler said. The House of Representative budget increase will be five percent higher for out-of-state students and three percent higher for in-state stu- dents. The Senate budget increase will be a $200 tuition increase for UNC Chapel Hill and N.C. State students. Although the increase is within current standard of living costs, many people were filled with con- cern. Dr. Spangler also felt if the tu- ition had been increased substan- tially, it could have had an adverse affect on students and parents as well. ECU students, particularly the Student Government Association, were prepared for the bill. In spring semester, a bill was to be passed simply stating opposi- tion to the proposal, but it was tabled. "It (the increase) probably will not be as much as everyone thinks it will be said Keith Dyer, president ofSGA. Dyer also stated that the SGA was against it, but there was noth- ing they could do about it. The tuition increase will begin in the fall, and although many stu- dents are upset, others are relieved because the increase was not unrea- sonably high. "It's important to keep an eye on student fees and focus on where the money is spent on campus. I hope it goes to essential stu- dent needs said Bill Gheen, chair- man of Committe on Student Tu- ition (C.O.S.T.) and president of N.C. Federation of College Demo- crats (N.C.F.C.D), an umbrella or- ganization for College Democrats. Anyone for jumping rope? Clayton Driver double dutches at last Thursday's cookout on the Mall.

Based in Greenville, the grou p hopes to spread out across the United States, and eventually become international. Asofnow,NewGardenofEden owns one two-acre refuge near Grimesland. Although future plans spotlight the breed ing of all types of endangered animals, both wild and domestic, the refuge currently con- centra teson birds. Thedomesticand wild bird population includes blue and whi te peacocks, bl ue ear pheas- ants, quail and grouse. The refuge also has a small population of Ger- man Giant Angora rabbits. According to Hollis Lilley, founding member of the New Gar- den of Eden, thebreedingof animals will help in at least two ways: endan- gered animals will be first bread in a healthy environment and will then be released as healthy adults with a higher likelihood of survival in the wild.Seoondly,thebreed ing of mon- etarily desirable animals, such as exotic tropical birds, may decrease the demand for black market sales and the inhumane treatmentof such animals. According to Lilley, these birds are "bound, and then stacked like bottles in packing crates" before being shipped. In one instance, in- spectors smashed open a suspicious crate and found about 120 poached parrots bound and stacked inside; all but one were dead, and that par- rot died later in the same day.

For the upcoming sultry summer days, Mike's Deli also offers a wide variety of fresh fruit, beer, and wine Tool makes the world a better place Undertow should keep you amused, nutty or not By Richard Cranium Staff Writer Here we have one of those albums labeled with a "Parental Advisiry" label, courtesy of Tip- per Gore, I guess. But really, I don't thinK most kids would lis- ten to Tool's Undertow, so if my parents are the parents being warned, then never mind the warning, cause I'm a big boy now. But what about Tool? Well let's talk. First off, buy this one just to look at the crazy mystifying pyro- gyrating pictures on the fold-out jacket. Nutty. "Disgustipated the 15:47 fi- nal cut is something else, man. There's the song part for a little while, then there's the lovely sound of crickets in thegreatout- doors for a little while, like eight minutes,and then there's a haunt- ing little second person narrative that is bizarre. And hey! What happens is, you put the CD on, OK, and "Disgusitpated" is the tenth track, but the counter counts up to 69 before the thing ever starts. It's so crazy it's festive. Bu t enough wi th the tomfool - ery. What about the music? Tool is another one of those band s who defy categorization. They are somewhat unique. What can we do with them? I don't know. I can't give you any lyrics be- cause I don't understand most of them. But 1 can tell you this, the bass player is an animal! He'sall on mat thang! Remember how the bassist for the Violent Femmes was? It's like that, only different. I would say the jammin' bass is a beautiful thing. There's some dirty words, now. What can you do. There's always these nutty little soiunds before the songs, too. I think you could drive to this music. There's a lot of heavy riffs and some jammin'guitar goin' on. Check it out. Major drawback? Good God the songs are long! The ten tracks add up to more than 67 minutes! Hoo-wee! Only two of them are less than five minutes. Y'know, sometimes the vocals are a little Mickey Dolenzesque. Oh well. "flood" is a number on this album that straight out jams. Try it, it's more fun than a box of Crunch 'n' Munch. And then there's "sober a crazy little cool tune that sort of reminds of some of that wacky Pink Floyd 70s stuff. How about "bottom a little mover that talksabout peopleand relationships and truth and con- flicts and pain, baby, pain. I uderstood the lyrics here. So what's the beef? Do you buy it or not? Well, if you can afford it and you've already bought this month's Playboy, and you already have a cool hammer, I think you should. Check it out. And remember, tools help make the world a better place. So maybe Tool wants to be useful. I don't know, I just thought of that. Hoy! children.

Lilley is interested in reaching se- niorcitizensaswell,remindingthem that they need "to protect their envi- ronment for their children, grand- children and great-grandchildren The New Garden of Eden wants to be able to open their refuge to the public so people may come by and see what their donations and help have accomplished. The group is hoping to be supported by the uni- versity, and in return for this sup- port, the New Garden of Eden wou Id like to establish a field-work study benefiting the zoology and biology programs on campus. Lilley men- tions that the refuge "may be the only place people can see these ani- mals up close Politically, the New Garden of Eden would like to encourage the government to support the protec- tion of animals and their habitats, but also to support the breeding of these endangered animals as well. Membershope for legisla tion remov- ing the red tape from the process of reintroducing animals to the wild. They do not, however, believe ani- mals should be dropped off into the woods haphazardly. Instead, they believe that people experienced in working with animals should be given more leeway by the govern- ment This professional commitment is highlighted by the group's policy regarding bloodlines. The NewGar- den of Eden is against the mixing of pedigrees; they opt for clean blood lines instead of hybridizing, espe- cially in domestic animals. Hybrid- ized chickens, for example, all tend to be big fat white chickens with neithergenetkdiversitynortheabil- itytobreed on their own.The market for these birds is detrimental to the common farm chicken. Pretty soon, the d ifferent breeds of this domestic bird maydisappear from barnyards, only to be seen in old FbgHomLeghorn cartoons. Accord- ing to Lilley, even though these are domesticated animals, they still have a right to exist. Although primarily concerned with breeding, the New Garden of Eden hopes thatthepublic'sinvolve- mentwith theorganization will lead to the public's environmental en- lightenment One of the group's goals is to make the people more a ware of and responsible for their treatmentof the environment Onesimplearea where normally conscientious people may be harming the environment is by carelessly spraying Round-Upa weed killer) around water supplies. What many home owners do not realize is thatsprayingonditch banks introd uces the chemicals to a water supply systemconnected tostreams, lakes and eventually the ocean. Peoplealsodonot realize the power of this poison; according to Lilley, Round-Up can even "kill a 200 year old black gum tree; the stuff is like acid However, all these goals are dependant on public support as a non-profit organization, the New Garden of Eden receives funding only from donations, grants and memberships. The group wel- comes public involvement in any form. Memberships may be ob- tained for $30 a year (or $25 if the price seems toohigh for some bud- gets),anddonationsoftime,build- ing materials and environmental information are generously ac- cepted.

Greenville blessed with 'true deli By Julie Totten Assistant Lifestyle Editor Mike's Deli brings exciting, affordable, and delicious new food to Greenville. Before indulging in one of Mike's 15 dessert choices, you are faced with many other tantaliz- ing decisions. Unlike any other eating es- tablishment in Greenville, Mike's Deli assures customers they will getexactlywhatisorderedwitha menu you checkoff yourself. The choices are broken down into seven categories: meats, breads, cheeses, garnishes, desserts, spe- ciality sandwiches and drinks. This method of ordering proves to be quicker and much more ac- curate than the old fashioned-tell and-confuse. The meats the deli uses are also new to Greenville. Boars Head Meat, from New York City, is piled on each sandwich, which is a hearty alternative to usualyl skimpy sandwiches. For vegetarians, Mike's sim- ply layers your choice of provo- lone, Swiss or American cheese instead of meat. Mike Hatoum, owner and manager from Toronto, Canada, said, "I heard about Greenville from a friend of mine. I realized the town's need for a true deli A "true deli" is exactly what Greenville has been blessed with. Mike's also is a mini convenient store where you can pick up any- thing from batteries to magazines. For the upcoming sultry sum- mer days, Mike's also offers a wide variety of fresh fruit, beer and wine. The Deli is conveniently lo- cated on 10th Street, near the post office (Freshway's previous loca- tion). Mike's should be highly re- garded for its food and also the owners success at wrapping con- venience and quality in one loca- tion. Today: Yeast Infections Answered by Jennifer Philips Student Health Center Question: How do I know if I have a yeast infection? What causes this type of infection? Answer: A yeast infection, also known as candidiasis, is caused by a fungus (Candida). This fungus may be found on most any part of a woman's body; on skin, under nails, be- tween fingers and toes and is normally present in the vagina. However, when these fungi begin to multiply rapidly, the over- growth crea tes a d i s- charge that looks something like cottage cheese (thick and white), accompanied by odor, burning, itching in and around the va- gina, otherwise considered a yeast infection. The symptoms of yeast infections are similar to other forms of vaginitis and some sexually transmitted dis- eases. It is generally recom- mended that women undergo an initial diagnosis of the prob- lem to confirm the over abun- dance cf Candida before ad- ministering self-treatment. For one in 10 women, the problem of yeast infections be- comes chronic, occurring five or more times a year. There are . several con tr i bu ting fac- ' tors that may facili- ' tate the growth of �m T yeast including: a �1 diet high is sugary foods, diabetes, stress, antibiotic treat- Kr ments, the use of oral contraceptives, preg- nancy, tight pants, wet bathing suits, nylon undergarments, poor hygiene practices and spe- cific points of the menstrual See YEAST page 4 'Sliver' considered Peeping Tom cinema Tool Photo courtesy Zoo Entertainment By Ike Shibley Staff Writer The reason discriminating film fans have generally disre- garded pornographic films is be- cause of their paper thin plots. The films deliberately downplay their story line in lieu of the most explicit sexuality. This explicit- ness arises because most viewers of these films have no desire to see a complicated plot. Imaginea film thatpossesses the same banal story as a hard- core pom film without any titil- lating sex. Now wrap the film in a glossy Hollywood package,hire a beautiful, sexy actress, attach a catchy tag line like "you like to watch, don't you" and then hype the film extensively and the re- sult would be Sliver. Sliver stars Sharon Stone, Wil- liam Baldwin and Tom Berenger. The film tells the story of a high- rise in New York that is owned by a voyeur who has cameras installed behind the mirrors in every room. This voyeur sits be- hind a wall of screens and watches the apartments simul- taneously. The apartment com- plex also has been the site of several bizarre accidents, which the audience learns from the be- ginning are murders, leading the press to dub it the "horror high- rise In the midst of all this voy- eurismand death,a relationship develops between two tenants Carly Norris (Stone) and Zeke Hawkins (Baldwin). After sev- eral intense sexual encounters, Carly begins to wonder if Zeke could be the murderer. Carly also wonders about another man she knows named Jack Lansford (Tom Berenger), a pulp novelist whose brusque demeanor frightensCarly. Carly does not know whether to trust him with her misgivings about Zeke or to fear him. Sliver was written by Joe See SLIVER page 4 L.A.

Money is not the issue, but theexcessive sums, paid for these cliched, derivative scripts epitomizes th infantile mentality running rampant in the Hollywood studio system. joe Esterhas is a hack who now commands seven digit sala- ries. One respectable script was The jagged Edge. Instead of im- proving his craft by learning to tone down the plot twists in lieu of sturdier character develop- ment, he went to the other ex- treme. He now takes the worst elements of The jagged Edge script and churns out misguided, sexu- ally explicit trash. To put it in the form of stan- dardize test statement: Joe Esterhas is to movies what Danielle Steele is to novels. If Sliver had explored the world of voyeurism and its im- plications, it may have been in- teresting. Instead, it concentrates on a mystery-shrouded murder case that makes no sense. The original ending was changed after a preview audi- ence vetoed it. From what can be gathered from press reports the origina! ending had a different mu rderer. Nowhere in the course of the story is there any evidence r t mi thatanyom � have committed the murders. SirKe es are attached to the � rand the killings are never explained, getting involved in this part of the story proves futile. Thus remains the romance be- tween Carly and Zeke which is as satisfying as a warm glass of wa- ter on a hot summer day. Lots of perspiration may be on the side of the glass but the drink is still not pleasant. As one member of a preview audience succinctly put it: the sex scenes were "juvenile, like some high schoolerwritingon the walls in a locker room While on the subject of pre- view audiences, I should men- tion that the idea itself seems juvenile. What kind of art can ever evolve that tries to please the masses? Studio executives should learn the lesson that Aesop taught centuries ago in his fable about a farmer, his son and their donkey: "In trying to please ev- eryone, you please no one If the filmmakers were aim- ing at soft-core porn they needed to look at Brian DePalma's Body Double, which also involved voy- eurism. (It is not a good film, but at least it accomplished its aims.) If the filmmakers were aim- ing at a voyeuristic statement in- volving murder, they needed to look at Micheal Towell's Peeping Tom (which is a great film). In- stead, they watched too many mini-seriesand thought that some nudity would improve the type of story so often seen on the small screen. In answer to the question posed by the film: Yes, I like to watch � but not derivative films like Sliver.

Around everv Sesame Strpnt whpn I'm ru,ii� k4i j Dangling the proverbial worm fails to deter angry, frustrated students "Beautification" is a ten-cent word. It calls to mind elderly Victorian ladies tending to their gardens or Civil War widows tidying up the cemetery plots of loved ones slain. Never mind that, beautification is the current project on East Carolina's list. The project calls for the removal of the green maintenancebuilding near General Class- room and the transfer of all materials and ve- hicles housed in and around the structure to the buildings behind Eppes Middle School. Soon beautification will be coming to our neighborhood with bells on and trumpets a- blast. Unfortunately, appeasement is like fire; it's not a good idea to play with it. You could very easily get burned. (Did they really think they could fool us?) You may or may not be aware of the park- ing problem plaguing this campus. Without going on and on about it�it's a problem. There are, very simply, not enough spaces to accom- modate students with cars. The result is clogged streets around the university area, something the residents are not too pleased about. Who can blame them? The university announced during the spring semester that even though the action would compound the lack of parking spaces, a recreation center would be con- st r u c t ed . "That sounds great you say. Nope. Think again. This recre- ation center will take away 300 cov- eted, hungered-after spaces. Instead of park- ing, students will have a place to recreate. This decision was met with frustrated cries, well-directed cursing and a surrender or two. Student-peons broken by the whip of numer- ous administrations chalked it up to another win for the bureaucracy. It's not over. Last week it was reported in The East Carolinian that the university is plan- ning on prettifying those areas deemed "eye- sores Good! We're all for it! Except don't expect us to leap for joy and turn cartwheels. Because in the very next breath, we are made aware of the fact that beautifying would give us approximately 30 more parking spaces and some foliage. That's small fries in exchange for the removal of a building. Let's clarify: Nature is a wild and wonder- ful thing. I can't think of anyone who hates Nature. The removal of the sinfully-ugly, green building across from General Classroom will definitely make that area of campus softer on the eyes. However, the complaint is that the univer- sity seems to think they can dangle "beautifica- tion projects" and "recreation centers" in front of our eyes so that we forget about parking woes. Sorry guys, it just isn't going to happen this time. We're all a little too sharp for that. The East Carolinian Lindsay Fernandez, General Manager Joseph Horst, Managing Editor Matthew A.

Doubtless you've seen his toothy simpleton-esquegrin some- where: Time-Life video commer- cials, lunchboxes, toy store shelves, etc. He's big. He's purple. He's so fraggin'sickeningly sweet thathe'll give you cavities if you watch his show and don't floss afterwards. He's Barney. Barney, the latest in a long line of childhood pop icons, has got to be the most annoying and disgusting one thus far. Trying to follow in the footsteps of such pub- lic TV giants as Big Bird and the Cookie Monster, Barney seems to have stolen the hearts of easily d uped youngstersacross the coun- try, at least for the time being. The theory behind the Barney phenomena is a fairly simple one: design somethingcuteand lovable, and the kids will eat it up, both on the screenand on the shelves. Tragi- cally, this theory does seem to be working in real life. Around every corner, there seems to be some in- dication that Barney Was There. Themain problem I have with Barney is that his show seems de- signed for and played by idiots. The children look to be either de- praved junior high school kids or post-kindergarten lobotomy throwbacks. They all prance about the stage singing simplistic songs about whatever trendy topic Barney's producers have chosen for that particular episode. I can remember a time when I sat in front of the television every morning, at 7 a.m. watching PBS, learning about the world around me from "Sesame Street not to mention laughing as I did it. Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, and a host of other Hen son masterpieces have infinitely more character and moreintelligenceand appeal than the relatively expres- sionless purpledinosaur known as Barney. In fact, I sometimes still watch Sesame Street when I'm really bored , and I still find it entertain- ing, imaginative and even infor- mative at times. Believe it or not, my college-educated self learned something new the last time I watched "Sesame Street Barney, on the other hand, doesn't even qualify to buy com- mercial time during "Sesame Street I grew weary of the shriek in Bamey'sshowafter the first three minutes, not to mention the fact that he's so damn "cute" that he makes me want to puke. 1 won't even comment on his reptilian co- hort Baby Bop, or whatever her name is. (I shudder to think of the unholy product that would be the result of a carnal union 'twixt Barney and the Babe) If you pay close attention to the Muppets used in Henson'spro- duction, you will notice that the characters all display a profound capability for expression. Barney, at least from what I'veseen, has the awesome capabilities of lycra-neck bending and oversized jaw flappin Pretty impressive stuff, huh? Despite all of these inad- equacies, the kids still seem to love himanyway (which doesn't say too much for the taste of the "New Generation Pepsi drink- ers or no). But hey, I guess if it makes 'em happy, more dippy dinos to 'em. Make some poor (in every sense of the word) pup- peteer wealthy. Eventually the kids will come around; then Barney will join the New Kidson the Block, Garbage Pail Kidsand Velcro sneakers (that pile of junk that was once the hottest fad, but fell from public grace and was lost to the world). As for me, I think I'll stick with the classics and chili with Big Bird and Company, just wait- ing for that glorious day when Barney spontaneously combusts.

Scott Batchelor Cable options slim considering high rates Flipping through mycableTVchannels the other day, I decided to lock out a few offerings which I rarely watch. My VCR has a lock out feature so when I channel surf, I don't have to stop on the channels I don't like. Over the past two years I have already eliminated some of thecabledeadwood from my TV. I don't receive any of the premium channels like HBO and Showtime, so I have those locked out. Ditto the twopublicaffairs electronic bulletin board channels. When I finished performing this latest operation, I took a survey of the channels I had left to watch. The results were disheart- ening. I had: Fox,TBS,PBS(for"Are You Being Served"), TNN (for that sexy country dance show), both CNN and Headline News, local NBC, CBS, and ABC affiliates. My TV also offered QVC, ESPN, TNT, C-Span, FAM, the Weather Channel, LIFE, USA (for Rhonda), MTV (which I'm on the verge of dispatching), NIK, A&E,WRAL (the CBSaffiliateoutof Raleigh), WGNand lastly, E! the Entertainment Channel. That comes up to a grand total of 23 channels. Remember, I can pick up at least six of these stations�Fox, PBS, ABC, NBC and both the local and Raleigh CBS stations� without subscribing to a cable TV service. That leaves only 17 true cable channels that I watch. I must be honest here, though. Of those remaining 17 offering, I rarely watch TNN (strictly country stuff); MTV (strictly strange stuff); QVC (not really a television networkat all); ESPN (I'm not a sports junkie); C-Span (turns into sports networkaround sixo'clock); FAM (just the "Waltons" channel); the Weather Channel (I don't do barbiturates); LIFE (I'm not a feminist); NIK (I'm not a communist�and if you don't get that refer- ence, you probably voted for Clinton); or E! The Entertainment Channel. This paired-down list leaves me with a totaloflOcablechannelsthatare worth watch- ing. Ten. Now, let'stalkeeonomics. Mylast cable bill was for almost $21. Thatcomesouttoover $2 per channel. Which leads me to thisques- tion: Are we getting our money's worth from cable TV? Of course, the answer is no. What I propose to the friendly and well- intentioned local cable TV folks is this: either drop the rates toabout $10 a month, or throw in the Discover Channel, along with IIBO, Cinemax or Showtime. Unfortunately, I doubt they'll go along with my suggestion, which is ironic because they recently installed brand-new state-of- the-art transmission and cableeojuipment "in order to serve you better This is like Wal- Mart buildinganew store and sellingonly 10 items.

Too much traffic. Too little fun. If this were any other Sunday drive, it would have been rated a disaster. Instead, those elements came together to produce theclos- est, most competitive and most memorable Indianapolis 500 in a long, long time. "We finished � forget where we finished said Dominic Dob- son who, for the record, finished 23rd. "This was one of the most amazing races I haveever been in. "When has there been this many cars finish? I would never in my wildest dreams have thought 24 cars would finish the Indy 500. If they were going into this race to have a slower, safer and more competitive Indy 500 he added, "then they hit on all three That opinion was hardly unanimous. "Tobe honest, racing hasbeen more fun here Dutchman Arie Luyendyk said. He finished sec- ond . Canadian Paul Tracy likened his day to being stuck on the "in- terstate behind traffic in both lanes going 35 mph He finished 30th. But nearly everyone who fin- ished ahead, between or behind those two had better things to say about a race and a reconfigured track that kept the drivers closer together in the corners and far- ther apart on the way to the pits. Those changes were respon- sible for a fast lap Sunday of only 214.870 mph � nearly 15 mph slower than last year's fast lap. But they may also have been the reason for all the suspense Sun- day. There were 12 different lead- ers, 24 lead changes, an incredible 10 drivers on the lead lap at the end, and an even more incredible twodozencarsstill running when the checkered flags were waved. Unpredictability, in fact, was the order of the day: Emerson Fittipaldi gulped or- ange juice in Victory Laneinstead of the traditional first swigof milk from a bottle, sending shock waves through the state's dairy industry. Four-time winner Rick Mears came onto the track behind the wheel of a golf cart instead of a race car. Four-time winner A.J. Foyt exploded in rage only twice during the race instead of the cus- tomary two dozen times. Even the rowdies in the infield behaved. All day long. That is not to say there weren't problems. "It was very tough to follow the car ahead of you Fittipaldi said. "The turbulence was high; there was only one groove, one line, and it was very difficult to maneuver in traffic. "But you know, I think the track was safer. I think we had a much safer race than last year. I think he added, "the track achieved what they wanted to achieve with safety Until Sunday'sconclusion, no one could be certain the changes wou Id prod uce any of the desired results � let alone all of them. The owner and crews who were going to be the guinea pigs for thisexperimentworried aboutthe new guidelines and penalties to improve traffic flow in the pits. In one breath, a driver would say that he was prepared to show re- straint in the narrower comers; in the next, he'd say he couldn't be certain about the next guy. "There were various predic- tions on what would happen in the race. Some people predicted there would be a mammoth junk pileinthefirstturn,butthatdidn't happen said owner John Menard, whose best finisher from a three-car entry was Eddie CheeveratNo. 16.
