Health Services charges for all medications

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

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

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

ECU welcomed a diverse
age group to campus this sum-
mer, when children and adults
from North Carolina and across
the U.S. participated in the 10th
aru.ual North Carolina Suzuki
Institute, hosted by the ECU
School of Music.
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.

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.

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.

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. To receive
more information, and to regis-
ter for the "park studv" call 816-

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's rul-

of the Middle East peace talks.

Without Shas, Rabin could

Well, that was a lot of help,

I stood on the sidewalk out-
side The Drunken Boar, smoking a
cigarette. Father Time Beerstein's
main establishment was like any
other in the Brewery, scarred wood
on the outside from the hundreds
of brawls at night and an even
worse interior from the never-end-
ing parade of drunks.

ence between men and women if
he were raised by two lesbians.
Circuit Judge Buford Par-
sons ruled Tuesday that Sharon
Bottoms' relationship with April
Wade "renders her an unfit
parent'He also noted that Ms.
Bottoms had admitted engaging
in oral sex, a felony in Virginia.
"In the opinion of this court, her
conduct is immoral he said.
Upholding a Juvenile
Court order awarding custody
of Tyler Doustou to the boy's
grandmother, Parsons said the
"extraordinary nature" of Ms.
Bottoms' deficiency as a parent
outweighed the legal presump-
tion in favor of keeping mother
and child together.
"It's the kind of case that
strikes terror in people's hearts
? makes them wonder, 'Could
this happen to me? said Liz
Hendr ickson, executive director
of the National Center for Les-
bian Rights in San Francisco. She
denounced the ruling as "just
based on bigotry
Ms. Bottoms and Ms. Wade
wept and embraced outside the
courthouse. Neither they nor
Kay Bottoms would talk to re-
porters.

German tourist
killed in Miami
Governor expresses distress
tourist d
Miami airport was killed early
today by a gunman tiring trom a
van that had repeatedly bumped
his rental ear from behind, police
aid.
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.
"The victim's wife, who was
reading a safety-tip pamphlet pro-
vided by the rental car agency,
told him not to stop police said
in a statement.
Thevanbumped them again
and again, then pulled alongside
when Rakebrand refused to stop.
One of the men in the van fired
one shot through the driver's side
window of the car, striking
Rakebrand in the back.
The van sped off as the car,
now out of control, jumped the
median and wound up in the other
lanes, where it was inv 'ved in a
minor collision, police lid. The
woman was not injured.
Gov. Lawton Chiles, who
was in Miami on state business
today, said he was "just so dis-
tressed I don't know what to say
"The message is out there:
You've got to be careful when you
go to Florida said state Sen. Gary
Siegel, who led a special Senate
committee on tourist-related
crime. "This is really going to hurt.
This kind of image has got to stop
Woman dies, mother survives
ST. 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.

SNACK
Spot was created, "said Mr. David
Bailey, Marketing Manager.
"The set-up is better, because
before the lines were twisted and
there were items in the middle of
the way said David Adams,also
an ECU student.
The new name of the snack
area came from a contest that ran
two weeks last spring. Over 100
total entries were received, and
after being reviewed! by a special
chosen committee, the name "The
Spot submitted by ECU student
Ashley Young, was chosen as the
best entry.
Renovations were started
over the summer, with work tak-
ing about six weeks to complete.
To complete the new look, new
uniforms were also issued to the
workers, signifying the identity of
the new snack area.
Many items will be served at
the new snack area, including
Continued from page 1
ITZA pizza, 14 lb. hot dogs, deli
sandwiches and a great variety of
baked goods.
Various items that are of-
fered at the other area sites will be
offered also.
"The new snack area has a
lot of new items, especially
healthier items said ECU stu-
dent leniffer Pazenski.
Hou rs for the new snack a rea
will stay basically the same as they
were previously, except for Sat-
urday and Sunday. Saturday, The
Spot will be open from 12 noon till
9 p.m. On Sunday, it will open at
12 noon and will stay open till 11
p.m.
"The Spot will bring new
items to the east side of campus
said Bailey. For many students and
faculty, this will be a welcome
change, and as Anthony Jones, an
ECU dining services employee
said, the idea is " pretty cool
TRANSIT
for regular commuter parking on
campus.
Another good point is that it
is set up to serve the students first
because the students pay for it.
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.
Continued from page 1
Parking and Traffic Ser-
vices considered building a
parking deck, but the depart-
ment does not bring in enough
money. 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. Walters said that a new
and bigger bus will be added to
the shuttle in November.
More information about
the transit system is available
and the information desk at
Mendenhall or from the Park-
ing and Traffic Services Depart-
ment.

what it could to better the ECU Greek system. Delta Sig is based on three simple, but loyal
principles: Leadership, Scholarship, and Brotherhood. Brotherhood is a phenomenon that
can be felt and witnessed much better than it can be explained. It is a deep friendship with
men who can always be depended upon to help when there is a need, and to be there
to share the experience of self growth in the incredibly complex world of college life.

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.

Television: a great oae-eyed guru or mere McMedia?
1 want to suggest something
radical to you. Don't watch ITVfor
a week. 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.

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.

Censorship of
materials only
piques interest
Censorship. What an uglv word. For
years now, people who "know best" have
tried to tell the rest of the world what they
should read, what they should watch, what
they should listen to I'm only waiting for
some one do-gooder to tell me what air to
breathe or what side of the bed to sleep on.
From violence on television to explicit
lyrics in music to those oh-so-nasty words in
books, I've just got one thing to say: "If you
don't like it.changethediannel, turn ii off or turn
the page It's just that simple, people! 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

You said you were Greek. You asked
are you crazy? No gay? No, no, no.
Tell us what we think. I heard you
were a crazy shrink. We dare you to
tell us what is in our head in the
paper were by us it will be read. Oh
where, oh where is Mr. Able. A man
of realty, myth and fable. If he did
exist you could not resist, a man of
glory in a foolish, improbable story.
An imaginary plot in a warm and
sunny tropical spot. A fantastic no-
tion. To put your mind in motion.
Your mind has a vision of images not
real. But you are put in a trance by
how they make you feel. A trance of
people and places exotic. You some-
times think extremely psychotic.
Your thoughts are images of battles
and scrimmages. Thoughts con-
trolled by opposing gods that hit
your head like lightning rods. Your
thoughts are promiscuous with men
you mingle. You are held back by a
force. You at times are single. Your
thoughts are perception in a world
of deception. Mr. Able? Him you
will receive. You, he will not deceive
and him you will believe. Good
Luck, Jeff Jones

Don't Run My Life fy i&eUut&??
I'm a fed- up guv.
Only a double order of egg foo
young can quell the rampaging
seething ball of fire that is my rage,
my ire.
I gotta ask, what's with the
Barney-bashing? 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. Is it because thev
don't have children? Or !s it some-
thing else?
Barney is a pretend friend and
he teaches kids about playing to-
gether and loving everybody and
using the imagination. .And excuse
me honey, but isn't love what if s all
about?! Why the graffittied ideal-
ism?
But I digress. A couple of vears
ago, one Paul Reubens was arrested
in a Florida adult cinema bv two
cops. Apparently, Mr. Reubens (the
actor responsible for the greatest
character ever invented in the his-
tory of the known universe, PeeWee
Herman) was playing pocket pool.

How do you keep a good man
down?
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.

Gibson
attempts
directing
By Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
Many actors have tried their
hands at directing after years of
work on the other side of the
camera, rhelatestactortoattempt
this transition is Mel Gibson. The
film that he directs is called Tlie
Man Without a Face.
Gibson, like many actors
directors, decided to cast himself
in his directorial debut. He stars
as Justin McLeod, a mm who is
severely bumed in an auto acci-
dent and who becomes the tutor
of a young boy with an unpleas-
ant home life.
Charles Norstadt (Nick
Stahl) detests his home. His
mother (Margaret Whitton) has
three different children bv three
different men. During the storv,
she meets and marries husband
niimberfive.Charleshates his
oldest halt-sister Gloria (Fay
Masterson) because she dislikes
him. Hisyoungerhalf-sistertalks
i ncessantfy and even though she
adores Charles, he can barelv tol-
erate her attachment to him.
Charles's one dream is to
leave his familv and enroll at a
military academy . Lhfortunatelv,
he fails the entrance exam. In a
desperate attempt to get into the
school, he convinces his mother
to let him retake the exam at the
end of the summer but retaking
the exam means a summer of
studying. 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-

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-

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.

their music as a college sound,

1 on know those stats like every
three minutes someone is stabbed or
shotorraped or something? 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! Take
your lunch pails and your stuffed
Barneys and your little tigers that
roar when you squeeze them and
your Super Soaker 50's and your
Barbies and the next time you see a
big ol' bully, club him or her til the

"fore writing original
material, the band played R.E.M.
and classic rock covers in small
5 and fraternity houses
across the Southeast.
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

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.
At TIAA-CREF, we not only under-
stand the value of starting early, we
can help make it possible?with flexible
retirement and tax-deferred annuity
plans, a diverse portfolio of investment
choices, and a record of personal
service that spans 75 years.
Over a million people in education
and research are already enrolled in
America's largest retirement system.
Find out how easy it is to join them. Call
today and learn how simple it is to put
yourself through retirement when vou
have time and TIAA-GREF on vour side.

graphic read: "71 percent of 20s think

sion that the entire generation?or at
least those cool enough to be inter-
viewed on MTV?wears Clinton-

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

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-

IfTabitha Soren really represents
the best and brightest of our genera-

the only languagewecan understand,
then the country is in bad shape.
More likely, however, is that Tabitha
Sorenand her bubble-headed cohorts
are a caricature of our generation.

Despite the unappealing turn of
events near the conclusion, Gibson
must be commended for The Man
Witftouta Face He handles thedirect-
ing chores ably, if not artistically. 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.

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.

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.

Pirates, for the sec-
ond straight year, are members
of the Independent Football Al-
liance. Members include South-
em Miss, Memphis State, East

DURHAM (AP) ? The Bull
spent five seasons in Durham and
it's ready for retirement.
The question is whether the
next stop is the Baseball Hall of
Fame.
The wooden, smoke-sneezing
beast that's been a fixture above

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.

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

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

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.

A typical 15 gallon Log is the
equivalent of lb3.2 12 02. cans or
?ses, prompting fear of exces-
sive trash and broken glass. 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.

To his credit, Holt was not
ne humor.
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.

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.

Cowart, a team spokesman.
"It's in bad shape said Bulls
General Manager Al Mangum.
"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.
"One of the other options is
the bull would be put in the new
ballpark, not on the right field
fence, but somewhere
