In Photo by Cedric Van Buren has altered its services this year to allow for extended hours and a wider variety of return, students will pay a minimal fee for over-the-counter drugs. Staff Writer Students who get sick this semester will notice a change in the Student Health Services. In ad- dition to extending its hours, Health Services has begun charg- ing for its over-the-counter phar- macy medications. "We've started charging for our pharmacy, as most all schools charge for their over-the-counter medicine. Because of this we are able to offer more medicines at reduced charges said Kay VanNortwick, Director of Student Health Sen-ices. All over-the-counter items now cost SI. Health Services offers a range of analgesics, antihista- mines, decongestants and other popular pharmaceutical items. New this vear are antacids, diar- rhea suppressants and medica- tions for nausea and motion sick- ness. VanNortwick said the $1 per item does not necessarily reflect cost. "For a bottle of Robirussin, Campus plans cover all aspects we pay more than a dollar. For the Tylenol, we don't. We try to in- clude popular and affordable medications. "What prompted this action was that we received a written complaint from a student who re- sented the fact that some students were shocking up on free medicine that he paid for with his student health fee VanNortwick said. "The student health fee basi- cally pays salaries for the doctors, nurses, psychologist, psychiatrist and administrative personnel. The medicine comes more through state grants Prescription drugs will now cost $2.50, although the doctor's visit will still be free. "Before, when students didn't pay for it, some thought our prescription drugs were of an in- ferior quality. It's the same thing, of course, whether it's prepared by ECU pharmacists or someone else VanNortwick said. Other changes in Health Ser- vices include changes in the hours of operation and the way in which appointments are made. Appoint- parkin ments have been extended an hour since last semester and are now scheduled from 8:00-5:30 on weekdays. Weekend urgent care hours have been changed from 2 p.m4p.m. to 10 a.ml a.m. Students are asked to scheduleappointments for non- urgent health concerns. If a stu- dent requesting care has not made an appointment, he or she will be referred to the triage sys- tem. A triage nurse will assess the student's illness andor in- jury and determine whether he or she requires urgent care, same-day care by appointment, a visit with the nurse or an ap- pointment at a later time. "We try to serve the student's needs VanNortwick said. "Westay abreastof changes in student health care needs. We also serve health education and wellness needs. As part of an educational institution, we have an educational motive as well. We want to teach students how to take care of themselves after graduation By Laura Allard Staff Writer Todd Dining Hall is only the tip of the iceberg of changes called "The Visions Plan" that ECU stu- dents will witness during the next two decades. ECU has embarked on a 20- year plan to create a more distin- guished campus environment, provide more completely for the needs of students and faculty mem- bers and strengthen the relation- ship with the city of Greenville. The changes are an attempt to make the university "a more friendly, pleasurable experience for students, faculty, and potential students said Richard Brown, vice chancellor of business affairs. Many of the major repairs and renovations are the result of deferred maintenance when fund- ing was low, Brown said. The changes are a drive to make this a serious university a first-class institution that can at- tract the very best in students said Bruce Five, director of facili- ties and managing designer for the project. Five projected overall enroll- ment to be 20,000 by early in the next decade, with more growth in the doctorate and masters level programs. The Visions Plan began three years ago. With the input of stu- dents, faculty, staff, trustees and members of the community, The EastCarolina University Compre- hensive Facilities Master Plan de- veloped in 1992 The renovations outlined in this plan are divided into three phases. Phase one projects are cur- rently underway, and scheduled for completion within five years. Phase one began in July 1992, and includes the new Todd Dining Hall located on College Hill, reno- vations of Slay and Umstead resi- dence halls, renovationsof Minges Coliseum, and the demolition of the green garage located on cen- tral campus. The expansion of Joyner Li- brary and the acquisition of the old Rose High School property are also B -heduled to begin during phase one as long as the bond issue passes in November. "TT-ie tibrarv expansion will be 165,000 square feet towards Tenth Street, and will house 1.4 million new books, 100 faculty study carrels, and additional com- puting and telev ision studio space. "The library will become the information hub of the campus Brown said. A 10th Street entrance simi- lar to the one on Fifth Street will be built at the new library, and a new road will connect the library to the Slay and Umstead parking area. Phase one also includes the construction of the new Student Recreation Center. The Recreation Center was approved on Aug. 15, and construction will begin in late fall or early in the spring semes- ter. The center, which will in- clude six multi-purpose courts, three aerobic studios, a large weight room, an indoor track, rac- quetball and squash courts, in- door golfarchery facilities and indoor and outdoor pools, is scheduled to open for the fall se- mester of 1995. The university plans to make the main campus pedestrian only, so commuting students who choose not to ride the bus will park at satellite lots and take the shuttles, which currently run ev- ery 10 minutes from Minges to campus. The lots on Reade Street will be paved and expanded, and several small lots will be paved and consolidated in order to pro- vide additional spaces. College Hill will also be closed at 10th Street in order to eliminate much of the congestion at that entrance. A loop will be built through the Hill with paral- lel parking throughout, and a 14th Street entrance will be opened during phase two. Phase two projects are scheduled for completion during the next six to 15 years. Highlights for phase two include an addition to and renovation of the Jenkins See PLAN page 2 By Tammy Carter Staff Writer If you are a commuter, you know the problems that students face when they look for a parking space. The new student transit svstem offers a solution to this problem that has been successful this semester. Parking and Traffic Services has set up a shuttle schedule that carries students from designated parking areas at Minges Coliseum to Christenbury Gymnasium ev- ery ten minutes from 7:30 a.m. until 2 p.m and every 20 minutes from 2 p.m. until 5:30 p.m According to Patricia Gertz, director of Parking and Traffic Services, the two parking areas on Ficklen Drive designated as the blue and gold parking areas are for commuters. Freshmen still have parking areas at the East end of the Minges parking lot, at the bottom of the hill. "I am surprised and thrilled that it has worked as well as it has Gertz said. Ryland Walters, head of the transit system, said that many stu- dents are already using the new commuter service. He said that there are about three times more people using the shuttle bus than were previously expected. Gertz said that part of the transit's success was due to the way Parking and Traffic Services regulated parking stickers. "Anyone with 31 or less hours as a commuter is restricted to limited parking permits that are valid only in Ficklen parking lot until four in the afternoon Gertz said. "After four, anyone with a University registered ve- hicle can park in the regular com- muter lots on campus The great part of the transit system is that parking stickers for the Ficklen parking lot are only $30, as opposed to the $70 sticker See TRANSIT page 5 Photo by Harold Wise The transit system is providing a less expensive way for students to get to class.You can save $40 on a parking sticker with the service. Suzuki teaches children By Maureen Rich Photo by Cedric Van Buren Frank Salamon, Ronald Speier and Fred Bissinger cut the ribbon at yesterday's grand reopening of The Spot. Mendenhall hits The Spot By Lisa Dawson Staff Writer The Spot, the newly reno- vated snack area within the Mendenhall StudentCenter, cel- ebrated its grand reopening with a ribbon cutting and cake Wednesday, Sept. 8. Special guests at the rib- bon cutting were: Frank Salamon, Director of Dining Ser- vices; Dr. Alfred T.

About 225 students and their parents took part in a five- day intensive program, July 11- 15, focused on teaching and maintaining music as an inte- gral part of one's life, said Rob- ert L. Hause, professor at ECU's School of Music and co-director of this year's program. Joanne Bath, of Greenville, is the program coordinator of the Suzuki Institute. "It was a very wonderful summer Hause said. "It was very intense, but we had fun The faculty, traveling from as far west as Washington state, as far south as Florida, and known nationally in Suzuki pedagogy, taught in the style first introduced by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki in Japan. "Dr. Suzuki believed in the idea that children can learn all kinds of things Hause said. "Suzuki's style encourages parents to expose children to music, and they'll learn it just like they learn their own language While the teaching tech- nique is adapted primarily to violin, the ultimate outcome is aimed at improving children's lives and helping them grow up to be better in- dividuals, Hause said. "Research has shown that children who study mu- sic at a young age are able to learn it just like their mother language Hause said. While the week-long pro- gram consists of three- and five-hour sessions, depending upon the participants' ages, faculty members do not steer the children toward a career in the music field.

"This report is a challenge to every college adminis- trator to find more effective ways to discourage dangerous, irresponsible, and in some cases, illegal behavior said Richard VV. Riley, U.S. Secretarv of Education, when the research was released to the press earlier this year. While there has been speculation that males are heavier drinkers than females, the survey documents this as fact. About 28 percent of male stu- dents consumed 10 or more drinks a week, and 10 percent had 21 or more drinks in a typical seven-day period. In contrast, about 12 percent of women downed 10 or more drinks a week, while only two percent drank as many as 21 drinks in one week. Report: top boozers in northeastern schools The comprehensive "Alcohol and Drugs on American Campuses" survey disclosed regional alcohol drinking patterns throughout the countrv for the first time. The heaviest collegiate drinking takes place in the Northeast, with the average student consuming 7.1 drinks of liquor, beer or wine per week and 53 percent admitting that they indulged in binge drinking in the two weeks before being surveyed, the studv said. Students in the South report quaffing 3.9 drinks per week with 35 percent saying that they did binge drinking in the two-week period. Compiled by Maureen Rich.

By Tammy Zion Staff Writer The East Caro'ina School of Medicine will be conducting a studv at Lake Laupus on Sept. 18th and 19th, in order to test the effectiveness of a new hayfever nasal drug developed bv Glaxo. Participants in the study will spend twodavs fitting in the park beside the School of Medicine. This area is infested with ragweed (the substance that irritates hayfever). The School of Medicine is looking for 100 people with hay fever to participate. "We're looking for those who usually take over the counter antihistamines for their allergy symptoms said Dr James Metzger, section head for allergy in the Department of Medicine. Participants will spend the weekend at Lake Laupus. One third will be treated with theGlaxo drug, one third with a standard prescribed drug and the rest will have to tough it out with a pla- cebo. A staff of over twenty-five people will be monitoring the par- ticipants' condition throughout the weekend. The purpose of the studv is to test the nasal drug's effective- ness. "We want to determine how fast it works, and how well said Metzger. Unlike most prescription antihistamines, the new drug from Glaxo contains no steroids. East Carolina School of Medicine and five other centers across the coun- try are testing the drug. Breakfast and lunch will be provided both days along with musical entertainment that in- cludes a blue-grass band and a barbershop quartet. Organized events such as volleyball and a raffle will be held. Glaxo is pay- ing each participant SI 80 to com- plete the study. Those interested should be atleasttwelvevearsold and have a history of fall hay fever. The allergists do not want partici- pants who also have a historv of asthma to register. Participants will be re- quired to have a checkup and interview before and after the studv is completed.

Protests threaten to disturb Middle East Peace JERUSALEM (AP) � Police used a water cannon and clubsearlv today tobreakupa right-wing dem- onstration bv tens of thousands of Israelis who were protesting a plan for Palestinian self-rule. Police said 45 people were injured. Also today Israel's Supreme Court issued a ruling that was ex- pected to initiate a political crisis for Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's rul- ing coalition, threatening the future of the Middle East peace talks. The five-member court panel asked Rabin to fire a minister and a deputv minister who are under in- vestigation forcorruption. The two, Interior Minister Aryeh Deri and Deputy Minister of Religious Af- fairs Rafael Pinchasi, belong to the PLAN ultra-Orthodox Shas Party. Shas has threatened to bolt Rabin's ruling coalition if Deri and Pinchasi are fired. Shas has six seats in the 120-seat Parliament. Without Shas, Rabin could continue to rule with a thin one- vote margin since his coalition would still control 56 seats and have the support of five Arab legislators who are not part of the coalition. But Shas' departure would rob Rabin of his Jewish majority for making peace with the Arabs and weaken his ability to grant conces- sions in the peace talks. It also might hasten elections, which are not scheduled for three years.

No long-necks here, if you know what I mean. They both stepped forward to meet me, but stopped when Father Time raised his crone-like hand. "Hammered he croaked, "it's been a long time.

Seven other foreign visitors, three of them Germans, have been slain in robberies or robbery at- tempts in Florida since last Octo- ber. When the attack began soon after midnight, theman's wife was reading a safety-tip pamphlet that car-rental agencies started giving to tourists this spring. One of the tips warns people not to stop driv- ing if bumped from behind. Killed was Uwe-Wilhelm Rakebrand, 33, of Adendorf, Ger- many, said police spokesman Angelo Bitsis. The 27-year-old wife's name was not released, and Bitsis declined to comment on re- ports that she is four months preg- nant. The couple picked up their red Toyota Corolla at Miami In- ternational Airport and were heading east on the Dolphin Ex- pressway, en route to their hotel, when they were first bumped from behind by two men in a van, the wife told police. Police said the car had no markings indicating it wasa rental car, a problem in past tourist slayings.

GEORGE, Utah (A?)�A mother and daughter who decided to take a shortcut on their way to a new life in California got a flat tire and wound up stranded in the desert. Only the mother lived to tell of the week-long ordeal. Hunters found 68-year-old Zora Jacobs on Sunday in Sawmill Canyon in Nevada, just west of the Utah line. She told authorities she found her 45-year-old daughter, Janet, dead on Thursday near the car, where she had gone to sleep the night before. An autopsy was to be per- formed today, but she apparently died of exposure, said Sgt. Elden Adair of the Sheriff's Department in Lincoln County, Nev. "We had a U-Haul and the road was so narrow we couldn't turn around Zora Jacobs said from her hospital bed on Tuesday. "We had a spare, but we were on an incline. We just didn't have the strength to fix it They had set out from St. George on Aug. 29 for Petaluma, Calif 40 miles north of San Fran- cisco. The younger Jacobs had a job waiting for her at a restaurant, said Pam Seifert, who worked wi th her at an eatery in St. George. Lincoln County Sheriff Dahl Bradfield said the two women apparently had been told they could save two hours by taking a shortcut. But they took a wrong turn onto a dirt trail used bv hunt- ers and cattle ranchers. Temperatures ranged from 70s at night to 90s during the dav. They had some canned food, and Janet Jacobs twice walked to a spring a mile or two away two times and brought water back to her mother, Bradfield said. The mother and daughter had moved to St. George from Las Vegas in March after their home was broken into and both were assaulted. The intruder raped and stabbed Janet Jacobs and broke her leg. Her mother's pelvis was broken.

Walters said that the transit system was set up to help cover limited parking when the lot be- side Mendenhall is closed for con- struction of the new recreation center. Gertz said that students who currently park in the lot beside Minges will have to relocate their cars. Freshmen who use it can park in Minges parking lot, and residents can park in the resident parking lot on the comer of 5th and Reade Streets.

The transit system is the most cost-efficient system for ECU at this time. And if you already use the transit system and the buses are too crowded for you, don't worry.

The East Carolinian Opinion Page 7 'hursdayOpinion Health Center raises prices Student Health Services hikes prices on prescription drugs, other medication It seems rather obnoxious, doesn't it? It wasn't enough that tuition was raised, so a decision was made wherein a student must pay to receive over-the-counter medications at the Student Health Center. Medication that re- quired no payment before. Come on, give us a break! It's brilliant, in a way�who better to take advantage oi than the sick and run-down? The equation goes something like this: Students get sick. Students need medicine. Student Health has medicine. They know students need this medicine and depend (somewhat) upon them to obtain said medicine. Pardon the pun, but it just makes me sick. And to legitimize this fee implementation, Student Services can "offer more medicines at reduced charges Curious as to what some of those medicines are? Take a gander: antacids, diarrhea suppressants and medications for nau- sea and motion sickness. Question: how many times in the past year have vou (yes, vou) had motion sickness? And if vou have had motion sickness, did you have it enough times to prompt you into a fit of rage against Student Health Services because they didn't carry Dramamine? Supposedly, what prompted this was a written complaint by some poor student "who resented the fact that some students were stock- ing up on free medicine that he paid for with his student health fee Or so Vannortwick, Director of Student Health services, says. Sorry, but it seems highly unlikely that one mere person could sway a very powerful branch of ECU to do anything simply because they resented someone, let's say, stocking up on Nyquil. (Ever done that?) In case you ever wondered, the Student Health Fee (of which you shelled out $114) basically pavs for salaries�those doctors, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists and admin- istrative persons that keep Student Health cranking along. Medicine isn't fully funded by the Student Health Fee; rather, it comes more from state grants. Crants that we all know don't usually offer as much monev as you'd expect. And we could go into a whole sob story about how the state government doesn't allo- cate enough funds for the university to prop- erly serve the needs of the ECU student body, but that would be pointless. The real problem here is the fact that over- the-counter drugs are now SI per item, pre- scription drugs are $2.50 each and Student Health is passing it off as some sort of public relations, Mr. Good-Guy solution. They've made a sneaky, money-making ploy into a seemingly innocent look-at-us- we're-taking-car e-of-the-studentssugges- tions-campaign. So the next time you get an unexpected case of motion sickness, stagger yourself over to Stu- dent Health, shell out a buck and pick up some little tablets. While this is happening, be rest as- sured that no one is stocking up on free Immodium. The East Carolinian Lindsay Fernandez, General Manager Gregory Dickens, Managing Editor Matthew A.

Now, before you rupture something from laughing at me and before you turn the page with anangrv "right, Laura. Why don't I stop breathing while I'm at it think about a few things. .According to a survey in Connoi seurir, Septemberol 1989, the number of murders the aver- age child had eon on television by the ag oi 16 was 18,000. The number of commercials that American children had seen bv the age of IS was 350,000 (if com- mercials are 40 seconds long, this averages out to 160.4 days). If you a re one of those people that say, "I never watch TV you probably watch about! 0 in mrs of TV a week. You're just in a of state of denial. There were 751) million tele- yision sets in American homes in 1991. Being on TV isn't really even something to aspire to anymore because in 1989, one in four Ameri- cans had been on television. I was floored by this statistic at first and then I thought of Geraldo, Oprah, Phil and SalK esse (not to men- tion all of those lesser knowns that seem to have a "talk show" one day and then get cancelled the next). It's nuts; you can be a guest on a talk show it you've done something as unoriginal as get a di orce. But I'm really more inter- ested in television's ability to pro- mote complacency than in the pro- liferation of talk shows. By com- placency I don't just mean the prac- tice oi sitting on the sofa and eat- ing chips while laughing at Roseanne; I mean the tendency to ignore the fact that there is ti real world with real problems that hap- pen while we watch "mothers that steal their daughters' boyfriends" on Geraldo and think how lucky we are that such things aren't hap- pen ing to us. In George Orwell's 1984, "Big Brother controlled people through their television sets. These people had trouble opposing un- fairness, because they were moni- tored by a power that threatened violence against subversive ac- tions. We don't even need to be threatened with violence; the false reality of telev ision assures us that there is no need for subversion. You need an example? Soap operas show women that happi- ness can be found by marrying a wealthy man and having babies forhim. Don'tbedissatisfied; there is no need for self-fulfillment. Other TV genres 11 e sit-coms with all-black casts) also do a lot to enforce the notion that things aren't as bad as you've been led to believe, that the racist hierarchy is as it should be. These black sit- coms are directed (mostly) by white men and present little more than happy go-lucky buffoonery. Racism appears to be non-existent and the more we watch, the more convinced we tend to become that the world is fair and as u should be. We are easily fooled. So, for one week, get out there and find out more about those "non-existent" problems.Go to a bookstore (try Eponymous) and read a book by a personyou've never heard of and form an opin- ion about it. Who knows? Maybe you'll even feel like using the monev that vou spend on cable to support an organization that will act in vour interests, the ones that vou discover while you're not watching TV. Work for a week on cultivating a belief or two on your own and then argue with some- one who disagrees with vou. But don't back down (don't punch that person out, either). If you don't feel that you're ready to give up "Beavis and Butthead" for a few days, I under- stand. Like I said, it's just a sug- gestion. But while vou watch, keep this in mind: during an av- erage hour of MTV, there are 20 minutes of commercials and commercials lie to vou. You may get the impres- sion that you're a careless mother if vou don't choose Jit; a "cook who doesn't know" if vou don't use Crisco; that you will lose all of vour friends if vou don't "Oxycute" vour problem com- plexion; and that people will cross the street to get away from vou if you don't "shower to shower each day You may start to believe that men never wash clothes, that static cling, spotted dishes or cat litter box odor mieht cause you to die of embarrass- ment and that vour breath really stinks. None of this (with the possible exception of the odor of your breath) is true. Besides, I know Beavis and Butthead. I went to high school with those guys. I didn't like them very much, but I'll be glad to introduce vou to them if you're at a loss for anything better to do. If you think about it, you probably went to high school with them too. I bet you didn't like them verv much either. By Joseph Horst God heals and the doctor takes the fees. Letters to the Editor Problems concerning Media Board addressed Printed on UK) recycled paper To The Editor: In the past year or two, a lot has been written about the East Carolina University Media Board. Several conflicts have arisen between the Media Board and WZMB, the campus radio station. Why has there been all thisconflkt and tensic m between the Media Board and WZMB? Asa former emploveeof WZMB, before I left in May, I dealt with the Media Board on a regular basis and might be able to shed some light on this question. First of all, what zs the Me- dia Board? You have been read- ing about them for years now and might not know exactly who they are or what they do. The Media Board was set up by the university to oversee campus media, including WZMB, The East Carolinian, Expressions, The Rebel and the year-books, both videoand print It was formed to advise,consultand allocate funds to these mediums. Thus, they plav an extremely crucial role in the operation ot these media. However, there is one very seri- ous problem. Thei e is ni om ton the Media Board that has ever actually worked in any one of these mediums. There is a serious problem thatarises when you havea regu- latory body controlling the op- erations of mediums that thev haveno first hand experience in. For example, if WZMB needs a new piece ercadcastag equip- ment, or The East Carolinian wants an upgrade in their com- puter system, they have to ask the Media Board. The Media Board then has the responsibil- ity of determining it this is a crucial piece of equipment needed, or simply some frivo- lousexpenditure. They normally do tlnis without am knowledge ofw'hatthisequipmentisorhow essential it may be to fheorgani- ation. Rather, they base their decision almost solely on its cost Tlie , ledia B a rd a 1st (con- trol and advises the media man- agers in their jobs and regulates how they run their organiza- tions. But again, thev do this without first-hand experience If the Media Board con- sisted of members who actually worked at a radio station, the) would be better informed and equipped to advise and regulate a campus radio station, but they don't. It's like hiring someone to teach a video production class that has never used a camera or editing equipment. Tlie result is ineffective, uninformativ e, un- know ledgea ble o ver-regula ti on. This has to change. This may sound crazy and radical, but how about composing the Media Board with some mem- bers with actual media experi- ence1 This would earn the Me- dia Board a lot more credibility and respect. It would give our campus media someone they can reh on to properly advise and assist them in areas that these member have actually worked in and dealt with. Ma vbe then, and only then, can the conflicts between the Media Boaid and the campus media cease Then the Media B ird can w rk with, rather than against, these mediums to pro- duce the best information and entertainment possible to the campus community.

I can't believe thatour society has gone so far down- hill that people can't (or won't) take the time to exercise their God-given right of freedom of choice. Call me crazy, call me stupid, call me lshmael,justdon'tcall me late for dinner! (Someone please tell me you got that joke.) The most recent example of these people-vvho-have-nothing-better-to-do- than-stick-their-nose-somewhere-it-doesn't belong is an AParticle from Washington that states that "parents made 347 attempts to censor books, plays and other material in their children's schools last year In 143 cases the complaints resulted in the mate- rial being withdrawn or somehow censored This means that roughly 41 percent of this material is being taken off library shelves or reading lists. Let me list a few examples of these awful books: � "Sleeping Beauty" � for its violence and frightening nature. (What about Snow White, a woman who lives withsevendirtv, old men7 HMM?) � "Where's Waldo?" � for a woman's partially exposed breast that probably had to be discovered under a magnifying glass. � "Dracula" (the play) � tor refer- ences to God and blood. Proponents of this "enforcement as they call it, state that these actions only show "parents who choose to be involved in the lives of their school-age children Involved. or in charge of? Now, I'm not saying that parents shouldn't superv ise their children. What I am saying is that keeping material � any material � away from children does more harm than good. Everyone knows from pretty early on the basic rule of reverse psychology � if you tell someone not to do something, they will probably do it just out of spite. So telling a child that he can't read a book or see a play, for whatever reason, makes that same child want to read or see it all the more. What greater thrill is there than doing something you've been told not to do? If a parent wants to supervise their child (which they should), then why not read that book to your child or watch that L.V. program with himher7 As a parent, v ou get to spend quality time with your child and you can talk about tough questions, like violence or sex. Putting blinders on your child in the hopes that he won't ever be exposed to this darker side oi mankind is naive at best and dangerous at w irsl "What viva don't know wont hurt you"?

Sure he's big and purple and goofy and sm ug and his girl-friend seven goofier and smug- ger with her Zsa-Zsa eyelashes, but why musteducated Americans bash 'em? Aren't there some real screw - ups out there, like Michael Damian? I mean, we live in a countn where people like Tom Arnold are more readily identifiable than the VP. And yet, cartoonists, talk-show hosts and their guests, columnists, and yes, people we know, people like us, indulge in bashing the nur- turing staples of childhood iconoclasticism.

Don't ask Jim Shooter. He keeps winding up smelling like roses every time someone dumps manure on him. He has recently begun his new line of comics under the Defiant label, his third com- pany. In the early '80s he was the top man of the country's largest comic company, Marvel Comics ' Mar- vel he started some of the biggest changes in comics. He started alimited series, which are now a staple in the indusry. A limited se- ries gives the company the chance to see if a character has enough popularity to give the company an ongoing title. Shooter also devel- oped the graphic novel, which showcases more intense action in a magazine format. He was also in- strumental in creating a mature reader's comic line. Yet, for still undisclosed reasons, Shooter was "forced" out of Marvel.

Charles dislikes his homelife so much that no sacri- fice seems too large in order for him to gain aimittance to the school and a reprieve from his familv. Through a series of chances, Charles meets Justin McLeod, a former teacher. McLeod takeson Charles as a pupil and helps him to realize his full potential. McLeod lives alone. In the quiet New England town in which he resides, he has a dubi- ous reputation because of his reclusiveness and because of his burn scars. The townspeople of- ten refer to him as " the freak" and concoct wild storiesabouthis past. Eventually McLeod's tutoring becomes common knowledge and the townspeople begin to worry aboutCharles' safety. This leads to accusations and threats. These proceedings prolong the film. This last third of the film con- cerning the town's reaction to McLeod's tutoring darkens an otherwisebrightpicture. Byesca- lating the tension in this other- wise fine story, the filmmakers See MEL page 12 By Daniel Willis Staff Writer In recent years, Hootie and the Blowfish have plaved regu- larly at college clubs all across the southeast. On the 18th of this month, they're plaving at the At- tic. Hootie was formed in 1986, when singer Darius Rucker, bass- ist Dean Felber and guitarist Mark Bryan all met at USG A few vears later, they added Jim "Soni" Sonefeldasthepermanentdrum- mer. As far as musical taste, each band member comes from a dif- ferent school of thought. The front man, Rucker, prefers soul and R&B. Feebler enjoys listening to progressive alternative music from the '80s and Soni prefers country music. But in an inter- view in Entertainment Sports and Previews, Bryan said, "all the guys like good rap music and cross- over to d ifferent styles of music Strangely enough, these four guys have combined to form a bluesy-progressive pop sound. Most people would categorize their music as a college sound, LOWFISH Hootie and the Blowfish although they don't necessarily appreciate this distinction. In the rimes News Bryan said, "Labels -Milk. We just try to write our music and make it sincere We were in college together when we started out.

Do we have one for masturbation? Do we need masturbation cops? The point is, before PeeWee, Mr. Rogers was a victim. These heinous cyclical at- tacks on our children's friends must cease! Whvdon't these weak-kneed milk-sop scaredv-cat tough-guy hacks pick on someone their own size?! Grrrr. And that's what I'm talking about. People are bullies. Remem- ber that Christmas movie, the one about the kid shooting his eye out with the Red Rider BB gun? Re- member how they screamed and ran from the bully? That's how it is. Bullies pick on defenseless victims. All those cartoonists and columnists and TV people who mock Mr. Rogers, Peewee and Barney are bul- lies. They won't pick on someone who can fight back. Why not bash rapartists? Whataboutlawyersand the American judicial system? What about � dare I say it � the Presi- dent? Sure Mr. Rogers wears cardi- gans and he's soft-spoken, what can he do? And Barney, he's not even real! What can he do? And PeeWee, well he masturbates, so he's obvi- ously in no position to defend hisself because he masturbates and that is bad bad bad. I hate a bully, dammit. This is America. Wasn't this country founded on freedom from bullies? Don't we all hate bullies? Teachers, flunk'em! Firemen, bum'em! Little nerds who have repressed your rage all these years, kill'em! Good God rmhongry! Gimme a Slim Jim! Kids of America, unite!

Recently, they've released Kootcliuvop, the band's first EP with Fischo records. It features an interesting combination of five original songs. The first song, "The Old Man and Me was influenced by an unfortunate confrontation Rucker had with a homeless per- son. Rucker sarcastically refused to give him any money. The next morning, he woke up and wrote a fictitious conversation about the old man's life, which turned out to be "TheOld Man and Me It also features love songs such as "Only Want to Be With You and "Hold My Hand Altogether, Kootchypop is a pretty good EP, but the band feels that they're ready for a bigger project. "Recording Kootchypop was a lot of fun Rucker said. And he added, "It made us want to go into the studio and do a major product. I hope some- body hears it, thinks it's great and wants to give us that chance. We could do OK on a larger scale "Watch Out Sparky hangs his mouth open in disbelief as he watches a Pirate Ride take a corner carelessly, demolishing his favorite fire hydrant.

C IF YOU THOUGHT COLLEGE WAS EXPENSIVE, TRY PUTTING YOURSELF THROUGH RETIREMENT. Think about supporting yourself for twenty-five, thirty years or longer in retirement. It might be the greatest financial test you 11 ever face. Fortunately, you have one valuable asset in your favor. Time. Time to take advantage of tax-deferral. Time for your money to grow. But starting early is key. Consider this: ifyou begin saving just $ioo a month at age thirty, you can accumulate $172,109 by the time you reach age sixty-five. Wait ten years and you'd need to set aside $219 a month to reach the same goal.

Call us the Handout Generation. On MTV "News Soren's un- challenged flowerchild biases gave young viewers nothing new except R.E.M. music in the background and freneticedi ting and camera work. The reporting was unoriginal cliche, the kind of liberal couch-potato analysis thatradiatesfrommagazineslike Time. "George Bush's first major decision that would shape his presidency was choosing his vice president during the next four years, Quayle bloopers wouldbecomemorewell-knownthan anything else about the man Soren "reported Soren labeling Quayle as a naif is surely the pot calling the kettle black Neiv York Times media writer Eliza- beth Kolbert noted that during an interview with Bill Clinton, Soren failed to recognize a crowd of ap- proaching U.S. Senators, including Rhode Island Democrat Claiborne Pell, chairman of the Foreign Rela- tions Committee. Soren isn't held to the same standards of intelligence as the networks and neither is MTV. But NBC announced with great fanfare that Soren would be an occa- sional contributor to NBC News, as- signed to the twentysomething beat. On the December 15 'Today" show, theory of voung I his generation grew up under administrations that be- lieved government was not an agent of social change What this genera- tion sa w on T' w as the unraveling of their parents' ioftv idealism Soren interviewed four voung people: a Clinton campaign worker, fashion- ably leftish rapper M.C. Lyte, a cynic wearing a "Bush: I Am Satan" Tshirt, and a guy claiming Clinton 'has tapped into something almost spiri- tual in me To prove the depth of this MTV-style report, an on-screen graphic read: "71 percent of 20s think Clinton would throw a better party than Bush Someone watching this cfory would come away with the imp-es- sion that the entire generation�or at least those cool enough to be inter- viewed on MTV�wears Clinton- Gorebuttonsoristoocynicalorsquare to care. But even worse than the Clinton-groupie reporting is the edit- ing. In one case, they changed camera angles on Soren, who w as standing in front of the Capitol, four times in one 16-second sentence: "Bill Clinton is coming to Washington wrapped in the mantle of idealism edit and swarms of young twentysomething dedicated Democrats edit are rush- ing here to be part of the first admin- istration whose president edit not only remembers where he was when JFK was shot, but where he was when John Lennon was killed What's most disturbing aoout Soren is how her journalism, all lib- eral cracks and liberal spokesmen, is hailed for is professionalism. Rolling Stone media critic Jon Katz, a former producer for CBS "This Morning" has hailed the dawning of the "new news" (quirky, decidedly slanted, market-niche news) over the "old news" (boringhe-said,she-said,sup- posedly objective). Katz acclaimed Soren: "Tabitha was the perfect ve- hicle to marry MTV with Its new political mission. She was the voice through which MTV established its credibility People magazine quoted ABC'sCatherineCrierwhoapplauds Soren as "on the cutting edge of pre- senting information to the younger generation That's the problem: much like the "new journalism" of the 1960s, reporters like Soren are more praised for being hip (or "cutting edge") than beinginsightfulorinvestigative.MTV News gains "credibility" through its attraction of a young audience, not the integrity of its news product. FJizabethKolbertof77it'Ntw York Times was one of the few to give a modest assessment of Soren's skills, writing, "It is still too early to tell, though whether her style�still some- thing of a work in progress�will suc- ceed on network television. After all, what seemed smart next to Down- town Julie Brown may not seem so savvy next to NBC White House reporter Andrea Mitchell ButSorenhasenoughegotocom- pete with the network stars, even if shedoes lack theirnominal talent. She has bought into her own media no- tices, minkingherfast-food,hey-dude news reporting makes her the next Waiter Cronkite. She told 77k New York Times she does not want to be "a little Katie Coouric I don't want to look like a little network news anchor. I think peoplelikemebecausermnot"When TVGwafeaskedher if Murphy Brown was her role model, Soren replied: "No, unlike Dan Quayle, I realize she's a fictional character. But I do identify withherbecauseshe'sasmart woman who isn't always under- stood IfTabitha Soren really represents the best and brightest of our genera- tion, and if MTV News speaks to us in the only languagewecan understand, then the country is in bad shape.

He most notably extracts worthy perfor- mances from himself and the rest of the cast. Gibsoncreatesa wonderful mood by havingcandlesburningall around while Justin and Charles act out the denouement of "The Merchant of Venice" in an otherwise darkened room. When McLeod reads Shylock's speech in which Shylock claims that being a Jew is no reason for hostility, theaudience senses thatMcLeod takes the oration personally. "If you prick us, do we not bleed?" reads McLeod, referringasmuchtothestoryasabout hisown plight. Gibson demonstrates that prejudice appears in all forms and at all times. What Shakespeare wrote nearly 400 years ago still ap- plies today. Gibsonalsoknowshowtoaccen- tuateenvironmental beauty. The New England coast provides a beautiful setting in which to tell a tale of the dissemination of knowledge. Gibson wants to center on the teaching. The thrill of watching a stu- dent gain a firm grasp on what was once incomprehensible material ob- viously enthralls Gibson and he con- veys thatsenseofaweto theaudience. To see a young man pass from a fascination with comic books to a fas- cination withShakespeareinonesum- mer propels the story and gives it depth. In a time when films too often deal with violence and death or ro- mance and sex, The Man Witlwut a Foceprovidesa well-intentioned, well- crafted alternative. MelGibsonneeds to be commended. On a scale of one to ten. The Man Without a Face rates a seven Shooter came back strong, return1 ith .i comk called Val- iant i hough it had a quiet start, it didn't take long before the entire country was talking about Valiant's titles and their sky-rocketing back issue prices. Shooter had risen from the ashes. Things were going well, however, before "creative differ- ences" forced him away from Val- iant. Shooter didn't disappear this time, though. He immediately be- gan to start a new comic company, HIS Comic Company. Shooter would no longer be forced out of his position. In August, Defiant's first title, Plasm, was released. By the end of the year Shooter plans on having at least four titles out with several more on the horizon for the begin- ning of '94. Continued from page 9 The big difference between Shooter's move to Defiant and his resurrection of Valiant is that, at Valiant, he came into a working company and salvaged it single- handedly as a writer and editor for every title Valiant had. He acted as both talentscoutand accountant for them. At Defiant he's the editor of the books. Shooter doesn't have to write all of the books, he's hired other proven writers to work with, in- cluding Steve Ditko (co-creator of Spider-Man), Mike W. Barr (Batman writer) and Chris Claremont (the man that made the X-Men The X- Men). Shooter's also brought many people from Valiant. So watch out for Plasm, and watch out for Defiant Comics. While he only salvaged Valiant, Shooter is Defiant. Love Mother Earth - don ft forget to recycle milk jugs.

The sport of Whiffleball has increased in popu- larity both within the state, the nation, and now the campus of ECU. The top picks for this hot new sport are the following: 1. Suns of Thunder 2. Naturals 3. Untouchables 4. U-idiots 5. Hit men Photo courtesy of SU SID ByRobert STodd Sports Editor Syracuse is one of the best teams in the nation and has won five straight bowl games. The Pi- rates are no match for the Orangemen and are not likely to catch them off guard as ECU has done in the past. Win or lose, this game will set the tone of the season. The Pirates will be exposed and everyone will know wether or not to believe the hype. A victory here is not neces- sary for a successful season � if ECU keeps it respectable, it will be a moral victory. If Pirate quarterback Marcus Crandell avoids mistakes, he will be successful and so will the team. 300 yards passing is not as impor- tant as keeping the INT column blank. Ball State lost to the Orangemen last week, but ran the ball better than expected. ECU's ground attack should enjoy much success. Runningback Junior Smith and Jerris McPhail could put up big numbers. The Buc defense will have its hardest test of the year. If they give up less than 42 to the Orangemen they have improved on last year. SU quarterback Marvin Graves is a legitimate Heisman � Trophy candidate was the second rated passer behind Heisman Tro- phy winnerGinoTorretta. Against the Pirates in 1992, Graves threw for 213 yards, completing 11-17 with three touchdowns and no in- terceptions. The loss of wide receiver Quadry Ismail hasn't hurt a bit. Meet Shelby Hill. After playing in the shadow of "The Missile" and former Orangeman Rob Carpen- ter, Hill, a senior, is All-American calibre. He contemplated turn- ing professional after last season but decided to finish his career at Syracuse and is expected to be a first-round draft pick at the end of the 1993season. Hill took three passes for 65 yards last year in Ficklen Stadium. The Orangemen's defense ranked fifth in the nation against the run in 1992 and returned six starters. If SU stops running back Junior Smith and his backfield partner Jerris McPhail, Crandell will be forced to air the ball out frequently in his first collegiate game�which happens to be on national television. HowCrandell handles himseif under the pres- sure sets the tone for the remain- der of the season. SU's core of defensive backs areexperienced and should rarely give up a long-yardage pass play. The loss of linebacker DanConley will hurt the defensive unit tre- mendously. Conley was credited with 71 tackles last season. Defensive end Kevin Mitchell was voted Defensive MVP in the Fiesta Bowl and is fourthonSU'scareersacklist. He will need to step up. This will be, by far, the big- gesthomegameof the year. How- ever, the Bucs may be better off playing this game in the Carrier Dome. As road favorite over the last 10 years, Syracuse is 24-5-2. As home favorite, They are 22-20. As the underdog, ECU has a bet- ter record on the road than at home. To win, ECU will need the lead athalftime. TheOrangemen have lost only two games over the last 81 when going into the locker room ahead. Pirate gridiron notes ECU INJURY UPDATE - Redshirt freshman quarterback Chris Hester will miss the Syra- cuse game due to a broken right thumb. He will likely miss the first 3-4 games. The injury was suffered in the Pirates' first fall scrimmage. Junior running back Damon Wilson will likely miss the Syra- cuse game due to tendonitis in both knees. He has satout ECU's last two fall scrimmages. He may miss 1 -2 games. Junior defen- sive end Willie Brookins sprained an ankle in ECU's second scrimmage on Aug. 25 but should be able to play against Syra- cuse. Senior defensive tackle Jeff Cooke suffered a sprained toe in practice and then dislocated a thumb later in drills. However, Cooke should play against the Orangemen. PIRATES vs. BIG EAST - This season, ECU will play two BIG EAST football programs - Syracuse and Virginia Tech. Last season, ECU played four BIG EAST teams, defeating Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech and falling to Syracuse and West Virginia. The Pirates have a 12-28 record against schools currently in the BIG EAST. However, 16 of Damon Wilson those losses are against West Virginia and Miami (Fla.). East Carolina is 4-3 against Virginia Tech, 2-2 against Pitts- burgh, l-3againstSyracuseand 5-4 against Temple. ECU has never played against Rutgers and Boston College. LATE OPENING DATE - The Sept. 9 opening date is the latest opening date since 1982, when ECU played N.C. State on Sept. 11. The Pirates played on Sept. 9 against Bowling Green in the season opener during the 1989 sea- �b son. J�B INDEPEN- DENTFOOTBALL ALLIANCE - The Pirates, for the sec- ond straight year, are members of the Independent Football Al- liance. Members include South- em Miss, Memphis State, East Carolina, Tulsa and Cincinnati. This year will be the first for full round-robin scheduling be- tween the alliance schools. Last year, Southern Miss went through the rotation un- defeated while Memphis State was 3-1. ECU was 1-2 against UFA schools last season. The IFA will be featured on two consecutive ESPN Thurs- day night performances. On Sept. 2, Southern Miss hosted Pitt, and ECU will host Syra- cuse the following Thursday. j Holcomb cruises into ECU By Ashley NeaI Staff Writer SinceAug.7ChadHolcombhas beenpreparingforkickoff.Holcomb, ECU's place kicker, will make his debut on ESPN when the Pirates take on Syracuse.

The question is whether the next stop is the Baseball Hall of Fame. The wooden, smoke-sneezing beast that's been a fixture above the right field fence in Durham Athletic Park is ready to come down as the Class A Durham Bulls move to a new $12 million sta- dium. Hall of Fame officials said Monday they want to give baseball's highest honor to the mascot Hollywood set builders created in 1988 for the movie "Bull Durham It was designed to last only for the brief time that Kevin Costner was in town filming the flick. It isn't aging very well. "The first guy to hit the bull with a home run this year took off a piece of his ear said Leisha See BULLS page 18 Byltobert S. Todd Sports Editor Kegs are alters of worship at most social functions where alco- hol is available. However, over the summer, kegs were banned from tailgating on ECU property in an attempt to reduce over-con- sumption of alcohol, improve ECU's image and reduce the university's liability in the event of an accident (a 16-year-old girl almost died from alcohol poison- ing last season). Bringing kegs onto ECU prop- erty will result in the confiscation of the keg, which will then be returned to the distributor, and a possible citation. Anyone caught may also be wri tten up, sent to the dean and banned from football games. After kick-off the lots will be- gin to be cleared and people who are obviously intoxicated will not be allowed to enter the stadium. Over-consumption is the is- sue, not kegs. Irresponsible drink- ers and kegs combine and ruin what should be an athletic event. "We are not going to allow (tailgaters) to bring in truck loads of beer said Keith Knox, crime prevention officer of ECU's Pub- lic Safety. "If that's why they came to an ECU athletic event the need to go somewhere else if all they want to do is party. (Tailgating) is not a place to come and party and see if you can get drunk Knox also said virtually all fights and disorderly conduct revolved around kegs. He cited public urination, passed-out minors and foul language as results of the free-flowing kegs. "We had to call the rescue squad at least two, three or four times a game to the areas where the kegs were because of fights Knox said. "If a big situ- ation got out of hand out there. . . we have a serious security problem Student opposition surfaced as news of the ban spread. How- ever, the ban applies to every- one, in spite of rumors that the Pirate Club is exempt. SGA passed a resolution in See KEGS page 17 � � September 9, 1993 on trial since book publication night, 1 jlreadv Nothing is .is good as it seems and nothing is a bad as it seems. Somewhere in between there reality tails he said. "I say that quite often. I've been saying it to myself more than anybody. Holtz' brooding, philosophi- cal ramblings might have seemed out of place in a mid-week news conference that was supposed to be about Notre Dame football, but under the circumstances, it was understandable. As if every- one in America didn't know be- forehand, it should have been obvious by the end of "Nightline" Tuesday night that Holtz has a lot on his mind. In order, those things seemed to be: � The lingering matter of his team playing crummy in a season-opening win last week- end over Northwestern. ak he continued to as principal target of a book with a long and damning title, I nder the Tarnished Dome: Hame Betraved Its deals tor Football Glory � The prospect of facing a tough, veteran Michigan team with his dream for a second na- tional title ending before it really began. Indeed, so gloomy did Holtz appear at moments that specula- tion had it he spent all of Sunday worrying what Notre Dame fans thought about him after Satur- day. And that he spent all of Mon- day worrying what the rest of the world would think about him af- ter Tuesday. Keeping in mind that the rest of the week has already been re- served to worry about this com- ing Saturday, this hasn't left Holtz much time for fun. Or for read- ing, apparently. "I have not read the book. I do not plan to read the book. I'm not going to comment on the book he said, repeating what See HOLTZ page 17 HOLCOMB Continued from page 15 (Points After Touchdowns). Holcomb attributes his athletic motivation to two things: his father and a desire to someday play profes- sional I v. Concerning his focuson foot- ball, Holcomb said his father had the most influence by encouraging him to "think football" whenever he had free time. Another motivation gen- erator regarding football stems from when he thinks of how far he has come (from high school to college) and where he wants to be after his college career. "To see kickers go from high school to college and on to the pros, when I have doubts that makes me want to go to the pros Holcomb said. Bob Babich, ECU's inside line- backer coach, became interested in Holcomb after iewing ideo foot- age and attending one of the place kicker's high school games. "He had the ability to kick the ball for us to play winning football Babich said. "Ever since then (the game), coach (Babich) has liked what he's seen defensive back, Hank Cooper said. "We needed a kicker-a voung kicker-so Cliad was one of our top picks Holcomb credits Cooper and -isitationwithhisdecisiontoplayfor the Pirates. "When compared tootherplaces I visited, East Carolina was more or- ganized Holcomb said. "Also, the coaches got along like friends and that makes a difference Duskinfrontofthesrudentstore offers nothing more than students trickling in and out of the air-condi- tioned lobby and mosquitoes buzz- ing frantically overhead. Holcomb pauses, scans the future placed be- fore him as far as possible and quietly says he wants to be remembered as, "someone who tried hard on and off the field Not for riding a scooter to class.

How- ever, everyone entering the tail- gating area will be given trash bags and the clean-up crews will recycle bottles and cans, accord- ing to Knox. The local beer industry mav feel effects as well. Patel Dinesh, manager of the Pirates' Chest said he expects the ban to hurt quite a bit, but he will not know for sure until after the first game. A local Anheiser-Busch distributer expects the loss of keg revenue to be made up in package sales. "Our local stores will take a loss, where, in turn, the grocery stores should do excellent said Wes Tinkham, a Budweiser rep- resentative. "I don't think the ban was appropriate, because there are a simple few who are in col- lege and can't drink responsibly so that it ruins an ECU tradition for all the rest The tradition of kegs at taigating is something that may have been tarnishing the University's image. "When you consider only 20 percent of the student body is of legal drinking age Knox said, "it docs not look good for the univer- sity to condone kegs and buffet- type drinking situations. And, we are the only university that even allows (kegs) in those types of areas.

When someone asked whether he planned to exploit a relatively inexperienced Michi- gan line, Holtz replied, "I have a couple of guys who just found out last Saturday that we wore blue And when someone else asked if his team, like Michigan and preseason favorite Florida State, should be considered part of the still-emerging national championship picture, Holtz wondered whether he'd heard the question right. "Who, Michigan?" he said. "No the questioner re- sponded, "you "Us?" Holtz said. "I think we're in the nation. "But no he added a mo- ment later, "no national hunt. I don't believe so. No, not at all. We got too many problems right now that we've got to get re- solved. We've got a lot of con- cerns The way things are going in South Bend right now, Holtz could have been talking about concerns over his offense or his special teams or, if the book ever generates as much light as it has heat, his reign at Notre Dame. One of the co-authors of the book said on "Nightline" that image means more to Notre Dame than the reality of the situ- ation. But Holtz, who chose not to appear alongside some of his ac- cusers, knows even better that winning means at least as much to Notre Dame as either. And that, he said a few hours before the show was aired, was the only thing that really con- cerned him at the moment.

We'll gain confidence through the loss U.S. Open lost most top-notch stars early NEW YORK (AP) � In the beginning, the top half of the men's draw of the U.S. Open read like a Who's Who of tennis. Now it looks like a Who Was. Jim Courier, the world's No. 1 player and the topseed, is gone. So, too, is Boris Becker, the 1989 winner and this year's fourth seed. No. 5 Sergi Brugera, No. 10 Richard Krajicek, No. 11 Goran Ivanisevic and No. 13IvanLendl. Gone, gone, gone and gone. Still in the title chase today in the year's final Grand Slam tournament are giant-killers Cedric Pioline of France and Magnus Larsson of Sweden, Wally Masur of Australia and eighth-seeded Andrei Med vedev of Ukraine. Oh, what a Tuesday it was! Courier was the first to de- part, driven out by the scintillat- ing stroke production of Pioline, the tournament's 15th seed, 7-5, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4,6-4. "I was just more consistent and I played very good on the important points, the key points said Pioline, emulating theeffort in 1927 of Rene Lacoste, one of the famed Four Muske- teers, who beat No. 1 Bill Tilden in the 1927 U.S. Open final. After Steffi Graf, the women's top seed, escaped Gabriela Sabatini 6-2,5-7,6-1 in a lengthy battle, Becker followed Courier to the sideline, falling to Larsson 6-2,6-3,3-6,7-5. Those were the headline-grab- bers. But Masur made news when he came back from a 5-0 fifth-set deficit to outlast Jamie Morgan 3-6,4-6,6-3, 6-4, 7-5 and Medvedev eliminated Krajicek 6-4,3-6,6-1, 7-6 (7-4). With all the upsets, the top two men'sseeds left in the tournament� No. 2 Pete Sampras and No. 7 Michael Chang � faced each other last night in a quarterfinal matchup. Graf and No. 11 Manuela Maleeva-Fragniere will face each other in a women's semifinal. The latter advanced by stopping the remarkable run of unseeded Kimiko Date of Japan 7-5,7-5. Befuddled by Larsson's pres- sure and his own mistakes, Becker had no problem understanding why he's on the ou tside looking in. IL1FA Rush dates are September 13-16.

"Our thought is wherever it goes it needs to be preserved Someone with the Bulls called the hall of fame and asked if there could be a spot for the old bull there, said Ted Spencer, the Hall's cura- tor. "We found out how big it was and said it would be nice to have, but we don't have room for it he said Monday. That changed. Mangum said the museum was interested in the bull for a new base- ball-in-the-movies exhibit. There are details to be worked out, such as who would take the bull down from its perch, who would handle its transportation to Cooperstown, N. Y and whether it would ever be allowed to come home for a visit. "We may decide we want to put it on loan and then it would have to come to Durham Mangum said.
