Pbday The East Carolinian Vd.69No.4 Circulation 12,000 Greenville, North Carolina Thursday, January 20,1994 14 Pages ECU breaks ground for future Rec Center By Laura Allard Phot by Harold Wise ECU students and administrators were on hand to witness the ground breaking ceremony Tuesday afternoon for the new Rec Center beside Mendenhall. The center is expected to open in November of 1995. Staff Writer ECU officials broke ground on the future 150,000 square foot student recreation center, which will cover the three and a half acre ground west of Mendenhall. At the sight of the future swimming pool, Chancellor Ri- chard Eakin celebrated the begin- ning of construction by shooting the first basket. Eakin thanked the students and faculty who began work on the project in 1987 and credited them for making the project a re- ality. "Great things happen because people dream, and great things happen because people are com- mitted he said. Co-chair of the Planning Com- mittee, Nance Mize, thanked ev- eryone involved with the project and said, "Today has been long awaited and eagerly anticipated Mize looks forward to No- vember 8, 1995, when everyone will gather again to open the new building. Eakin was thankful to former SG A President Scott Thomas, who explained to the crowd of faculty members that he was the first to approach Eakin with the need for a new recreation center. Thomas drafted a shovel, appropriately matching the trim of the future building. The future building will in- clude a large sports complex with six basketball courts, accommo- dations for volleyball and bad- minton, seven handball raquetball courts, one squash court, an resolution introducing it to other student or- ganizations. S u c - ceedingSGA presidents kept the project alive. Yester- day, current president Keith Dyer ? ? spoke on be- half of the students saying, "The current student body is very ex- cited about the project After speeches by Eakin, Mize, Thomas, Dyer and Phil Dixon, each broke the ground with a new teal " The current student body is very excited about the project. " Keith Dyer, SGA President 11,000 square foot weight training and fitness center, three multi- purpose rooms for aerobics, dance and martial arts. Also included will be a compre- hensive out- door adven- ture program area with an in- door climbing wall, indoor and outdoorswimmingpools,ajuice bar and healthy snack area, a fitness assessment center and an administrative office complex. Memory of King lives on at ECU By Tammy Carter Staff Writer "Even though the dreamer was killed, the source of the dream will never die These were the inspiring words of Rev- erend Ronald P. McDougal, the guest speaker at the 10th An- nual Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Awards Ceremony Monday night. "King would not want us to gather on his birthday with mourning and sadness McDougal reminded the audi- ence, "but with service and cel- ebration The audience on Monday night gathered in Mendenhall Student Center, after a candle- light march from Christenbury Gymnasium "to celebrate the man behind the dream McDougal said. Master of Ceremony, Eu- gene Smith, introduced the cer- emony and Rev. Sidney Locks opened with the invocation. Willie Joyner welcomed the a u- dience. Next, Demetrius Carter gave the history of Alpha Phi Alpha. "Alpha Phi Alpha, the first and oldest intercollegiate Black Greek letter organization was founded on Dec. 4,1906, on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York Carter said. Seven young men estab- lished the organization, and were later known as the "Seven Jewels of Alpha Phi Alpha "Our symbols are African. Our traditions are African. Our rituals are African. Our name is African Carter stated. "From its infancy to the present time, Alpha has fought for equality and advancement of the Afri- can-American race Carter went on to explain how many successful black men were members of Alpha Phi Al- pha and how the fraternity en- courages programs that pro- mote the success of the African- American male. After the history of Alpha Phi Alpha, the ECU gospel choir sang several selections, after which Chancellor Richard Eakin introduced Rev. McDougal. Dorothy Cotton, who was to be Monday night's speaker, could not be there due to the snow See KING page 4 Students urged to help save environment By Jason Williams Assistant News Editor From the narrow pine-cov- ered ridge where I sit, I watch the colors of the day fall across the marsh and creek. It is easy to overlook the marsh grasses that border the river ?the marsh grasses that are busily converting energy into life, organic matter into food, andfdtering pol- lution out of the waters. David McNaught, the au- thor of the above words, wants to make sure no one overlooks those marsh grasses and the wetlands in which they are con- tained. That would explain why he and others formed PTRF, the Pamlico-Tar River Foundation, in 1981, dedicated to preserving water quality in the Pamlico and Tar River Basin. PTRF is a grassroots envi- ronmental organization made up of residents from Pitt and Beau- fort Counties. Many ECU faculty and students count themselves among its members. McNaught is rheexecutivedirectorof PTRF and he explained the mission of the group. "We do not exist to resist development within our water- shed; growth is inevitable. We exist to insure that it occurs within an aesthetic, ethical and ecologi- cal framework The group formed in reac- tion to a Beaufort county commissioner's plan to allow Texasgulf Chemicals Company to mine for the phosphate reserves underlying the Pamlico River. "The riverbed mining skir- mish alerted us to two discreet facts about river protection McNaught said. "First, the prob- lems of the river were multifac- eted; the river would not be pro- tected by a single action but would demand long-term vigilance, and, second, any efforts to protect the river would be most effective on a wa tershed-wide basis McNaught says that the two rivers, the Tar and the Pamlico, are inextricably bound. "You can't know one without con- sidering the other he said. In fact, the rivers are re- ally one and the same. The Tar, which flows around the northern fringe of Greenville, is exclusively a freshwater river. It has its source in trie Piedmont farmlands of Per- son, Granville and Vance counties and flows east through Rocky Mount, Green- ville and Little Washington, N.C.

The stickers are five dollars, much less than parking tickets and towing fees. Controlled parking stick- ersalsoallow residents a luxury that some commuters and stu- dents living in dorms do not have Thev may park in the fa- miliar two-hour parking zones located north of campus, all day every day. The controlled parking ar- eas were put into effect mostly because of the increased student population over the past few years, said Bob Ramey, Green- ville city councilman. Ramey also stressed that ECU is long overdue for parking decks like those found at UNC and State. "The parking situation is very critical for the students of ECU Ramey said. ECU contin- ues to increase the number of students without creating park- ing spaces, Ramey said. "Student parking costs would pav for it he said. Controlled parking areas have two divisions, A and B. Both stickers expired on Dec. 31, new stickers can be obtained through the Greenville Public See PARKING page 3 T Staff Writer The cold weather has set in, and right now you are prob- ably wrapped up in a heavy winter coat or you are enjoying the warmth of your apartment or dorm room. Many Greenville residents are not fortunate enough to have heaters or even coats. Local agencies continue this winter to provide the poverty stricken and homeless with warm coats, cots and food. The Soup Kitchen serves warm food each day to the nu- merous hungry who walk and live on Greenville streets. But the soup kitchen can not sur- vive alone. Volunteers are needed to serve lunch from 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Agencies like the Soup Kitchen rely on ECU'S Student Volunteer Program to provide workers for their cause. The Vol- unteer Program, which began in 1989, has flourished, increas- ing from a handful of, volun- teers to over 700 each semester. "It has been from the ea- gerness of our students to be of service to the community that the program has continued to grow each year said Judy- Baker, program director. The program originally drafted students from Health 1000 courses, as part of its cur- riculum. Other students showed interest, and today the program is open to any individual or group who wishes to volunteer their time. With over 46 agencies to choose from, there is something for everyone. Some of the more popular agencies include: The Ronald McDonald House, which provides a place to stay for families of seriously ill chil- dren who are patients at Pitt Memorial Hospital; The Little Willie Center, an outreach pro- gram for latchkey children; The American Red Cross and The Dream Factory, a group who grants wishes to children with terminal illnesses. Baker added that many ad- vanced study programs, such as veterinary medicine and health careers, require appli- cants to complete hours of com- munity service. "Volunteerism should be part of every student's educa- tion and it will be important in careers Baker said. According to Baker, vol- unteering offers reciprocal ben- efits. You, as the volunteer, help the agencies and the volunteer- ing experience is beneficial to you. Originally, the program was sponsored by a two-year federal ACTION grant. After that grant expired, a private grant was donated by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. Traditionally, that grant only lasts a year, but the program was given a continuation based on its great progress. "This is the first year our program has been fully funded by the university Baker said. Currently, the ECU volun- teer program is consulting with seven other universities who wish to begin their own pro- grams. Volunteering can make a lasting impact on a person, ac- cording to Baker. "The ultimate goal of our program is to get students in- volved in volunteering very early and, hopefully, they will make lifelong commitments to volunteerism she said. Whatever a student learns at ECU they will take with them. "A good experience with the ECU volunteer program can make an impact on other com- munities Baker said. In addition to the Soup See VOLUNTEERS page 3 Illiteracy plagues Greenville By Tammy Zion Staff Writer Over one quarter of adults in Pitt County are illiterate. The Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) are trying to reduce that figure by teaching people in Pitt County how to read. OnThursdayJan. 13, over 30 volunteers came from all over Pitt County to begin training on teaching adults how to read. Many volunteers are ECU stu- dents, a few are ECU faculty and others are new to the area or come from such varied back- grounds as nursing and public works. The LVA center is lo- cated on Third Street and all literacy classes will be held there. "If you teach someone how to read, you are teaching them how to function said Chris Brueckner, president of LVA. "You are making such a change, you're going to open up the door to a whole new world for these people Classes will continue weekly from 7 p.m. to9:30 p.m. until Feb. 7. When training is completed, each volunteer will be matched with a student. See ILLITERACY page 3 2 The East Carolinian January 20, 1994 January 3 The department of R.O.C.

ROTC students guarantee themselves high salary ? t . in Ajt-c- ?ri11 corvp in HrAtirni By Stephanie Lassiter Staff Writer For many students who are soon to be graduating, the idea of a $24,000 a year job sounds very inviting. Nine ECU students walked straight from their exams into jobs which started with an an- nual salary of no less than $24, 688.32. The positions include free health and dental care for a year and 30 days paid vacation each year. Four more students will follow in their footsteps by the end of the summer. All 13 stu- dents are Cadets of ECUArmy ROTC. "Once the cadets are ac- cepted in upper level ROTC courses, known as the Advanced Course, and complete the Ad- vanced Course, they are com- missioned as 2nd Lieutenants in either Active Duty or Re- serve said Captain Bill Pitts, associate professor of Military Science. Pitts said the cadets will compete for active duty, which is preferred over reserve duty. This year's cadet group was unusually exceptional be- cause all cadets who requested active duty, received active duty assignments. Two cadets re- quested reserve duty; both re- quests were granted. A board in Washington, D.C. selects who will receive ac- tive duty commission. Accord- ing to the ECU ROTC press re- lease, as 2nd Lieutenants, these cadets will serve in branches such as Infantry, Nursing Corps, Field Artillery and Military Intelligence. The cadets will begin their commissions at the time of their graduation. The following cadets will be graduating by the end of the summer: Paul T. Campbell II, Quartermaster Corps; Timothy Domke, In- fantry; Nevin L. Gamble, Ar- mor; and Kevin P. Leitch, Sig- nal Corps. Sports , pad Sports Pad DOWNTOWN BLOCK PARTY ?4 in !?

The exam has a national pass- ingrateof88percent. Onehundred percent of the ECU students passed the exam. "The national exam is about 300 questions, takes about four hours and asks questions on basic, clinical and community nutrition, as well as food science, food service and administrative dietetics said Dr. Margie Gallagher, professor of Nutrition and Hospitality Manage- PARKING ment. All nine students have gradu- ated and are pursuing careers as dietitians. The dietetics clinical practice program was established in 1988. All of its graduates have success- fully completed the examination which is necessary to register as a dietitian. Each of the graduates com- pleted a pre-professional nutrition dietetics program in an institutional setting or a master's degree pro- gram. "This is a post-BS program said Dr. Evelyn S. Farrior, former program director and associa te pro- fessor in the department of Nutri- tion and Hospitality Management. "The students are selectively ad- mitted based on a high criteria. The training program involves 1,000 hours of practical experience in health care facili ties in eastern N .C The current director of the program is Janet Bryan, MSHE. There are now 10 students in the program. "We are one of only four pro- grams in North Carolina Farrior said. "Our program has an excel- lent reputation among programs of this tvpe.

The class discussion centered around living in a rural area and having no reason to learn to read; recent immigration, childhood abuse or even frustration in school.

"The inclusion of thePamlico 3rLlhe EPA's national estuarine pro tgfam was the direct result of PTRF convincing Representative Walter B Jones, Sr. of the significance of .tkePamlico watershed to the study area he said. In 1984 and 1986, PTRF re- ceived grants from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation and the Mary Flagler Cary Trust of New York, which were instrumental in the group's early survival and success. This money allowed the group to hire Dr. Jaaothan Phillips as the first full-time executive director and to sponsor educational events such as the Maritime Heritage Fes- tival. Phillips left PTRF in 1986 to take a teaching position at Arizona State University. The group then turned to McNaught, who has served as director ever since. Under his leadership, PTRF has grown to 2,000 members and gone on to fight many environ- mental battles. "We are not a strident or radi- cal organization McNaught said. "However, we are not afraid to oppose anyone who proposes prac- tices that may worsen the Pamlico or the Tar Mostly though, PTRF spon- sors educational efforts and scien- tific research.

McDougal preaches at Clinton Chapel AME Zion Church in New Bern. He was born and raised in New York and attended Livingstone Col- lege in Salisbury, NC, where he received his BA. He attended seminary in Massachusetts and has pastored in Rochester, NY, and Providence, RI. He always wanted to come back to North Carolina, and was appointed by the bishop of the church 14 years ago. He only planned to stay for four or five years, but said that something about the area must have kept him here. McDougal began his speech by remembering Aug. 28, 1963, when people of all ages, races, gender and religious af- filiation gathered on the White House mall to march and dem- onstrate the need for equality, justice and jobs. He said that after hearing many speeches throughout the hot afternoon, the crowd turned to the Lincoln Memorial where King spoke the famous words, "I have a dream "We must not let Dr. King's dream die McDougal insisted. "If America is to survive, free- dom must ring from every Continued from page 1 mountain to every molehill . . . Not just for some people, but for all people. I challenge you not to get a degree just to make a living, but a degree to help somebody McDougal chal-r lenged the audience. After McDougal con- cluded his message, the Eta Nu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fra- ternity, Inc. showed the video of King giving his "I Have a Dream" speech. Afterwards, Eta Nu pre- sented the G.P.A. certificates for the male and female in each class with the highest G.P.A. They are as follows: Freshmen Tavia Gilbert and Michael Boney; Sophomore Cherilynn Johns and Toby Merrill; Juniors Julia Evanson and Steven Cozark; and Seniors Marisa Roach and Roderick Batts. Ike Copeland and Derek Batson presented the certificates. The MLK Leadership Award was awarded to Robin Wooten, and the Community Service Award was presented to William Shiver. After re- marks by other people challeng- ing the audience to live up to King's dream, Michael Brooks led the Negro National Anthem and Reverend Sidney Locks closed with the benediction and blessing.

Inman calls it quits before even beginning Why is it that everytime good, investiga- tive reporters do their job, people whip out the ole' accusation of employing "modern McCarthyism methods"? When Retired Adm. Bobby Inman with- drew as defense secretary nominee Tuesday, saying he was "distressed and distracted" by attacks on his character and reputation, the media came alive. In actuality, many members of the media enjoyed a typical game of "Let's Investigate" long before this latest (and, we're assuming, final) action by Inman. After all, that's our job He lashed out during the rambling, hourlong news conference, accusing, in par- ticular, New York Times columnist William Safire and Senate Republican Leader Robert Dole of plotting to undermine his nomination. He stated that "there were reports, which both will probably deny, that there was a trade between Safire and Senator Dole, that if Sena- tor Dole would turn up the heat on my nomi- nation that Safire would turn up the heat on Whitewater development Safire was quoted in yesterday's editions of Times as saying the allegations were "noth- ing short of weird adding that he never talked to Dole about Inman. During the news conference, Inman also talked about his failure to pay Social Security taxes for his housekeeper and that his wife did contribute to the family finances by inherit- ance ? topics that the media reported on but hardly attacked like the hungry, sadistic wolves Inman has made us out to be. The accusation directed at Safire and Dole marked the latest public glimpse into a cat and mouse feud between Inman and ideological conservatives that dates back nearly three de- cades. Inman made his decision believing that subsequent attacks would come with great regu- larity if he accepted the post. In his resignation letter to Clinton explain- ing his decision, Inman wrote that he was fed up with "rush-to-judgement distortions of my record, my character and my reputation He "sensed elements in the media and the political leadership of the country who would rather disparage or destroy reputations than work to effectively govern the country Well, boo-hoo. Talk about fragile egos! (poor, delicate Bobby Ray Inman) The White House is probably breathing a collective sigh of relief that someone as wishy- washy as Inman decided to resign now, instead of pathetically floundering in the barbaric hands ofnews media (not even the media on the whole, but a lone journalist). He demonstrated a Perot-like short fuse and an intolerance for the sort of investigative reporting that any public official must endure. Not only that, but in an interview late Tuesday on ABC-TV's "Nightline Inman said four reporters had called him Tuesday asking if he was gay. He went on to say that "if you can't find any other way to destroy a reputation, try that one As if being gay (or even accused of it) is the most tragic, awful thing to be. Incredible. Well, it's back to the old drawing table for Clinton. As for Inman ? good riddance. By John P. Adams Zhirinovsky signals change in U.S. relations From the moment the fi- nal votes were tallied in Russia's most recent election it became apparent that Boris Yeltsin's days as president are numbered. With the overwhelming ??????H victory by Russia's Liberal Democratic Party, a "pro- test" vote, the ascent of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Demo- ma?m cratic Party and likely next president of Russia, signals an imminent change in U.SRussian relations. By labeling Zhirinovsky as an ultranationalist or right- wing conservative, the U.S. me- dia seems to be grooming him as America's next great threat to grandmother, apple pie and Chevrolet. This leads us to what may be America's biggest problem over the next couple of years: Is the cold war really over or just in hibernation? We must remember that our primary interest in Russia is still its nuclear threat. With this understood, the U.S. faces two possible scenarios. The one thing they both have in com- mon is that American tax dol- lars will be lost. The first scenario, and most likely, is that Vladimir Zhirinovsky will become Russia's next president and the U.S. and Russia will resume cold war hostilities. If this happens, billions of American tax dollars will again be pumped into our na- tional defense and we will re- turn to the threat of a nuclear holocaust. Of course our first scenario does not have to pan out this way. Russian expert and Harvard We must remember that our primary interest in Russia is still its nuclear threat. professor, Philip Zelikow, duly notes "that, Democrats and advo- cates of greater freedom are often the most strident secular nationalists Zhirinovsky has already gone on record as saying that he would be more than happy for Russia to work with the U.S. as an equal partner in world af- fairs. However, he is concerned that the U.S. will try to exploit Russia's natural resources, but this is simply posturing since the only really enticing com- modity is their oil reserves. With President Clinton's snubbing of Zhirinovsky on his recent trip to Russia, it appears that the White House is not go- ing to take Zhirinovsky seri- ously. Instead, U.S. foreign policy makers are hoping that Boris Yeltsin can somehow recapture his lost popularity. This is a big gamble considering that to date most of Yeltsin's economic re- forms have failed miserably. Also, we should not forget that Ye'Nin is no great promoter of democracy. It has only been three months since he seized dic- tatorial power to rule Russia (an act which President Clinton con- doned!). Zelikow notes that, "The adhesion to Yeltsin risks encouraging within Russia ex- actly the polarized, anti-Ameri- can tendencies that Washington fears The White House knows Yeltsin is committed to "eco- nomic reform" and the western- ization of Russia. Thus, they are willing to sacrifice billions of U.S. tax dollars, as well as demo- cratic values, in order to keep Yeltsin in power, provided he can stave off Zhirinovsky. Of course, Boris Yeltsin is a survivor. He overthrew Mikail Gorbachev because he felt that Gorbachev was moving too slowly on economic reform. However, since Yeltsin's ascent to power and his imple- mentation of shock economics, Russia's economy has steadily worsened. A nation which at one time was on the verge of joining the first world is now on the verge of falling back into the third world. Can Russia save itself from economic ruin? They can if they continue to vote the way they did in their last election. Yeltsin's reforms are no good for Russia. Vladimir Zhirinovsky knows this and so do the Russian people. They also know that when you are knocked down, you can- not expect to be helped up by those who knocked you down. You have to help yourself get back up. Hopefully when Zhirinovsky becomes president, the White House will try to work with him and not simply dis- miss him as some crazed dema- gogue, or else we will again face the threat of nuclear annihila- tion. By Laura Wright Oppression and eggplant: spectrum opposites I went to see a band with some friends the other night and we ended up ? somehow or other ? discussing the cliches that were administered to us by our parents during our forma- tive years. Among familiar favorites were "you'll catch your death of cold unless you wear your coat "I swear this will be the last vacation we will ever take "you better not even think about leaving this house dressed like that "you better be careful or you face might freeze like that "put a smile on your face this instant and "you better eat that food. There are people starving in(fill in the blank: either India, China or Africa) I could never figure out how eating my food would, in any way, help people who were starving in India or anywhere else for that matter. The one statement that struck a nerve with all of us was the ever popular "you should just be thankful Do you remember this one? This phrase is used as a reminder that no matter how big your problems are, there are people out there with bigger ones. I will demonstrate the use of this pacifying statement in terms of the present parking situation. Suppose you came up to me and said, "Laura, I can't find a parking place and it re- ally sucks I would answer you by saying, "You should just be thankful that you have a car I would never really say that, of course ? but enough about parking. If you have a zit, you should just be thankful that you don't have two zits. You have two zits? You should just be thankful that you have a head upon which to have zits. If you don't want to walk the dog, you should just be thankful that you have a pet that can walk. You know that if you had a goldfish, you would want to take it for walks all the time and then where would you be? In certain situations, the "just be thankful" phrase can even be substituted for "there are people starving" phrase. For example: instead of "you had better eat that eggplant. There are people starving in a par- ent might say "you should just be thankful that you have egg- plant. Think of all the people who don't have eggplant Consider the larger impli- cations of this statement. Sure, we should be thankful for the things that we have but it's also okay to complain and disagree ?actually, these two things are often much more productive than gratefulness. Think of all of the peoples that have been oppressed throughout the history of the United States who have been told that they should just be thankful for the injustices that they have suffered. Think of all of the women who have remained in abusive relationships just because someone told them just to be thankful that they had a rela- tionship. Maybe oppression and eggplant are at different ends of the issues spectrum but we have to start small and work our way up. The next time someone tells you to eat your eggplant because there are people starving, maybe you could remind them that there are ways to aid people who don't have enough to eat ?r and then maybe they could do something to help. The next time someone tells you that you should just be thankful, take it as an at- tempt to pacify you and thefi feel free to remain dissatisfied. For example, if you tried to use the library over the holr- day weekend only to discover that it was closed for two whole days and you couldn't do the research that you needed to do by Tuesday, you don't have to just be thankful that there is a library on this campus (yo$ know, the place with all thfe books?), or that you can read (if you can indeed read), yon can complain and try to do away with unfair policies. Or you can write an opiiv ion column. And if you think it has been cold here lately, you should just be thankful that yoy don't live in Minnesota. Stuff you should know ? Do you care about parking? Are you ticked off that you paid $70 for a piece of plastic that assures you nothing? And insteadof parking on campus with your on-campus parking sticker, you have to park miles awayoff-campus and walk to class, grumbling all the way? Well guess what? The price of those precious, little student parking stickers may increase. So grab a friend and go the Parking Committee Meeting in room 212 of Mendenhall today at 2:30 p.m. Issues discussed may include the possibility of raising those already over-priced decals. Go and complain ? this is a golden opportunity. You can't say we didn't warn you. ? White Residence Hall is going co-ed. As of now, the dorm (ooh, sorry, residence hall) houses only women. But beginning in the summer of '94, White will be home to both men and women in much the same way Fletcher operates ? let's say, men on the second floor, women on the third floor and so on. But the interesting twist in this alteration is that the rooms will be single-occupancy only. The added perk comes in the form of a refrigerator and carpeting. You'll pay for it, of course, but isn't a single room worth it? You decide. ? Starting yesterday, the drivers of most commercial trucks and buses operating in North Carolina are banned from using radar detectors. The Federal Highway Administra- tion (FHWA) officially banned radar detectors in most commercial motor vehicles nationwide, citing the need for measures to save lives and reduce injuries on the high- ways. Intrastate drivers in North Carolina are also banned from using radar detectors. So if you're in North Carolina and you're using a radar detector, remember that if Officer Friendly pulls you and discovers your precious fuzz-buster, that it will be confiscated and a citation will be given (with fines for the first offense not more than $500 and not more than $2,000 for any subsequent offense). Incentive enough ? Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean-Luc Picard of "Star Trek" fame) will be hosting "Saturday Night Live" on February 5. Guest band is Salt-n-Pepa.

The United Way of Pitt County is a non-profit organization that supports 33 member-agencies ited to serving the human ? care needs of people of all I and walks of life. Agency allocations for the Jed Way of Pitt County is an emely valuable, once-a-year process for this organization. The volunteers involved in this process are the ones who assure that a donor's gift is well spent by deter- mining the level of financial sup- port United Way provides its 33 member-agencies. Each year approximately 70 volunteers from thecommunity are recruited, trained and assigned to one of the five service committees which help the less fortunate within thecommunity. The five commit- tees are: Special Needs, Emer- gencyBasic Needs, Emerging Needs, Education and Support Ser- vices and Youth Services. Volunteers within each com- mittee visit their respective agen- cies,review theorganizationalbud- get and service information, and hear a formal request from each agency. From this informationeach committee makes recommenda- tions on funding. The United Way of Pitt County will not only benefit and support its 33 local member-agencies in Pitt County. The organization will also be helping five additional agencies in 1994. These five agencies will be receiving "venturegrants" thisyear to assist them in serving the needs of their clients. The venture grant funds are one-time start-up money allocations totalling $33,810. "This money will go to agen- cies that are addressing emerging and diverse needs and that have immediate and significant impact in this community said Bernita Demery, venture grant committee chair. Mrs. Demery said that the money is given to enhance the organization's long-term plan to be a community problem-solver in Pitt County and to try to help more people in Pitt County. The agencies selected range from those helping at-risk chil- dren to adults who are unem- ployed.

Matthau, Morgan continue careers Dahli Llama Coming to an attic near you fin fact, the Attic, tonight), local favorite Dahli Llama performing with Follow For Now. Photo courtesy of Earie Records Who's There? BEVERLY HIlLS, Calif. (AP) ?Walter Matthau has enjoyed his share of on-screen romances, but his movie and TV pairings with fellow actors have produced more second dates. He has repeatedly hooked up with Jack Lemmon for such clas- sics as The Odd Couple and the cur- rent Grumpy Old Men. On televi- sion, Matthau and Harry Morgan perform a hat trick with their third "incident" movie. In Incident in a Small Town (CBS), Matthau reprises his role as attorney HarmonCobb. Morgan is back as Judge Stoddard Bell, this time accused of murder and inneed of his friend Cobb's help. The two first appeared as the rumpled lawyer and stem judge in 1991 's The Incident. That was fol- lowed the next year by Against Her Will: an Incident in Baltimore. The veteran actors ? sharing salads, cappuccino ice cream and a window table at a Beverly Hills tennis club ? look as if friendship has emerged from their collabora- tion. "I love this guy says Mor- gan. "Well, I'm very fond of him he adds, amending his remark with a smile. "I wouldn't go to dinner with- out him Matthau says, referring to their daily evening meals while filming Incident in Vancouver. "He's the only one I can hear Matthau, 73, and Morgan, 78, play off each other easily, trading memories and wisecracks. "We had a director who un- derstands the needs of geriatric per- sonnel Matthau says of Incident director Delbert Mann, also an in- dustry veteran who worked with Matthau in a 1952 production of Othello. What needs? Matthau: "You gotta have a toilet nearby Morgan: "Air tank Matthau: "It can't be too hot, too cold. Got to have plenty of orange juice around Morgan: "Young girls. Walter likes young girls "I'm a naughty talker Matthau says, demurring. "No ac- tion. Even when I was young, no action Then he continues. "A sea- soned professional like Mann says 'How do you feel?' once in a while. And he has the intelligence to know when the take is good "Sometimes even the first take says Morgan. "There are some directors who cannot believe it can be any good because they don't understand what they're doing unless they do 25 takes Matthau concludes. Co-starring in Incident is Stephanie Zimbalist. She plays Judge Bell's estranged, unmarried daughter Lily, mother of a teen- age son (Nick Stahl of The Man Without a Face). The return of the boy's long-absent father triggers violence. Matthau and Morgan have high praise for their co-stars, in- cluding the young Stahl. "The boy was very good says Morgan. "He was like a grown-up to work with, the instincts were all right on The new generation of actors, in general, is treated less kindly. "They no longer have any re- spect or regard or talent for speech See MATTHAU page 10 Author Conroy gives readers Body &Soul (AP)-Frank Conroy has written a w jnderfully seam- less, old-fashioned book about a musical prodigy and his personal and profes- sional travails in Body & Soul (Houghton Mifflin, $24.95). Somewhat autobio- graphical from Conroy's younger days of music ap- prenticeship, Body & Soul presents a New York much like that in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby ?parries by the rich on Long Island and life among Manhattan's elite?andE.L. Doctorow's World's Fair. Conroy, who is not pro- lific but nonetheless has written the commendable Midair and Stop-Time, ap- pears to have exorcised the ghost of this story from his literary soul. It is a fine read, one of the best American novels to appear in the past couple of years. Claude Rawlings is the star of Body & Soul, plunk- ing away at his mother's little piano in their dingy, walk-up apartment. His mom is an overweight, hard- drinking cab driver; his fa- ther is unknown, thought to be dead, little talked-about but certainly the musical gene donor for Claude. The preschooler shows up at a music shop, asking for sheets of piano music and books to teach himself. His progress is amazing, even See CONROY page 10 ATTIC LOCAL CORMGANS Thurs.

How do I tell if I've just got the "blues" or if I'm de- pressed? Answer Everyone experiences unhappy times in their lives. Often, it is possible to identify a spe- cific reason for feeling .? down: relationship break-up, death, failed r test. At other times you t? 1 23 may notbe able to point ? Vv??: to any one incident that seems to have caused y these feelings. If you feel down for only a week or two, and can pretty well pinpoint the cause, you're probably experiencing the 'Islues" and can expect the situation to improve rather quickly. However, if you've felt down for a longer period of time, or really can't say why you're down, you may be suffering from depression. Depression is a real disorder that affects your thoughts, feelings, physical health and behaviors day after day. About one in 20 Ameri- cans (over 11 million people) get depressed ever)' year. Depression affects twice as many women as men. The good news is that de- pression is often eas- ily treated, and over 1 80 of people in treat- ment improve signifi- cantly in three to four months. Symptoms of depression can include: Persistent sad or empty mood Loss of interest or pleasure in ordinary activities, including sex Decreased energy, fatigue, being "slowed down" Sleepdisrurbances(insomnia, early-morningwakingoroversleep- Eating disturbances (loss of appetite and weight or weight gains) Difficulty concentrating, re- membering, making decisions Feelings of guilt, worthless- ness, helplessness Thoughts of death or sui- cide or suicide attempts Irritability Excessive crying Chronic aches and pains that don't respond to treatment An accurate diagnosis is im- portant. The Counseling Center, located in 316 Wright Building, has free information about symp- toms and treatments. Also, the center will be offering a 12-week therapy group, beginning Feb. 1, for students dealing with depres- sion. Call 757-6661 for more infor- mation or to register for the pro- gram.

But the fun doesn't stop there with these guys. Muzza Chunka's major label debut is called Fishy Pants, a name that makes me giggle uncon- trollably every time I hear it spoken aloud. Foryour reading enjoyment, I'll be repeating it several times throughout the review. Anyway, Fishy Pants is raw, simple stuff. Muzza Chunka is not the most accomplished group of musicians you'll ever hear. Imagine your brother's garage band with a recording contract and a few extra brain cells. But at least they're not another boring, angst-ridden, "al- ternative" band, or a bunch of greedy, retro-hippy poseurs. No, Fishy Pants features punk rock in all its seedy grandeur. These boys are really pissed off about something, but they can't quite put their finger on what. The closest they can come to criticism is hypocrisy, which they attack with lots of disgusting stuff about pus and feces.

If you have lived in Green- ville for a while, you have prob- ably seen Roily Gray and Sunfire advertised to play at The Attic or even last year's Barefoot on the Mall. You can't really classify them as a reggae band, because they run the whole gamut of Carib- - bean music, including calypso (sort of like speedy reggae) and soca (calypso and funk). Roily Gray's newest effort is Let Your Body Move. Most of this album is traditional reggae, but there are a few tracks in the lesser known sister forms of Caribbean music which help to keep the monotony away. Calypso tracks like "I Need Your Love" are jumpy, high-speed forms that snap you out of the trance in- duced bv the heavy bass of reggae. Steel drums, horn sec- tions and many layers of percus- sion on the faster tracks are more than enjoyable. There is even a hint of some of the newer forms of island music on "Song of Love" which has a dance hall type rap at the end. These guys are more fun than a six-foot spice rack.

"The piano seemed to disap- pear and somehow the lines them- selves filled the boy's conscious- ness, the architecture of the music lucid in every small detail, the whole statement sealed, floating, and folding into itself, and into si- lence. Claude ached at the beauty of it Eventually, young Rawlings is taken under the wing of a suc- cession of piano greats and through powers of intense con- centration mixes his musical progress with fine schooling. The boy' is soon playing among the greats. His personal life, however, while not stunted, suffers from fits and starts. He loves the unlovable ROLLY GRAY Catherine, who eventually escapes her family by eloping with her cousin. The cousin's millions are no salve, and the marriage founders ashiscareerblossoms. ThatClaude goes to London and meets anew with Catherine brings the book full circle. Little seems left out in Body & Soul. While calling it a 1990s epic may be a bit of a stretch, the book is hard to put down. It resonates with true-life tales and morality plays and enough writing verve that one could easily see it becom- ing fine fodder for a movie. Perhaps the only sour note is that Conroy occasionally tosses out some obtuse word that clangs in the copy ? for example, "otiose" on Page 428 mucks up the read. No one wants to run to a dictio- nary while reading a fine work of fiction. Continued from page 8 Most of the songs on mis al- burn involve the subject of love or just;feeling good.

By Brad Oldham Staff Writer The Pirates defeated the Stags of Fairfield University at Minges Coliseum on Monday night, 77-65. In a non-conference game that was played a bit below the level that ECU has been showing, it was, nev- ertheless, still a notch in the win column for coach EddiePayne and his team. The Pirates are now 10-4, a turn- around from last season, when ECU didn't reach their 10th win until February 24. "We are pleased to get the win, but not by the way we played to- night'coachPaynesaid. "Weneed to be playing better each game,playing harder, playing smarter, and just more consistently each time out ECU was once again led by senior guard Lester Lyons, who scored 17 points in his 100th game here at ECU. Junior Anton Gill added 13points,nineof whichcame in the first half, along with six re- bounds. Fairfield, which got 51 of their 65 points from freshmen and sophomores, were led by guards Greg Francis, a freshman, and sophomore reserve MeishayGattis. The two players scored 15 points a piece, and combined to hit seven three-pointers in the game. The Pirate offense looked in- side to Gill early and often in the first half. If Gill didn't hit the soft jumper, he reversed the ball to the perimeter for the three-point shot. ECU had a total of seven three- point field goals alone in the first half, with two apiece from Lyons and freshman Skipp Schaefbauer. Senior forward Curley Young got the 4,000-plus crowd behind ECU at the end of the first half, scoring five points on both a dunk and a three-pointer. Fairfield looked to their fresh- man in the firsthalf for their scoring. Francis and forward Shannon Bow- man each had eight points in the half. At half-time, it was ECU hold- ing a 40-27 lead. The second half started uglyfor ECU. Fortunately, it started even worse for the Stags, who failed to capitalize on numerous Pirate turn- overs to start off the half. The Pirates tried to keep their lead in double digits, but saw it start to slip away. Senior guard Johnnie Jones, who scored 12 points on the night, cut the lead to nine with a three-pointer at the three minute mark. Like the true leader that he is, Lyons took control of the game on thenextplay, taking theballbaseline for the bucket and the foul, pushing the lead back up to 12. Gattis hit a three with just over two minutes left to bring the lead back to nine, but after that Fairfield was forced to foul, and the Pirates went on to victory. Earthquake rattles sports world (AP) ? The "Big A" sign in- side the stadium is down. The scoreboard and giant replay screen are in ruins. Anaheim Stadium sustained about$3.4millionLidamages Mon- day from the earthquake that rocked Los Angeles. The stadium, home of the Cali- fornia Angels and Los Angeles Rams, is farther from the quake's epicenter than most of the Los An- geles area's stadiums and arenas. Yet, it was the only one to incur significant damage. Bret Colson, an Anaheim city spokesman, said there will be a big bill to foot because the insurance deductible is $6.25 million, mean- ing the damages will not be cov- ered. Anaheim is some 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles and about 50 miles from where the quake was centered in Northridge. The new Anaheim Arena, about a mile from Anaheim Sta- dium and home of the NHL's Mighty Ducks, had no apparent damage. "We were able to weather it very well said John Nicoletti, spokesman for the arena. "The building isbuilt structuraliv sound. Everything is fine Nearer the epicenter of the quake, which measured 6.6 on the Richter scale, were Dodger Sta- dium, the Los Angeles Coliseum and Sports Arena, all near down- town Los Angeles, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and the Forum in Inglewood. All apparently had no major damage. The Sacramento Kings-Los Angeles Lakers game Monday af- ternoon was postponed because of the mayhem. "It's the scariest feeling I'veever had Sacramento forward Wayman Tisdale said. 'Two thoughtscame to mind said Kings coach Garry St. Jean. "One, is the building going to col- lapse? Two, what about my fam- ily?" At Santa Anita, 20 miles from Northridge, the special Martin Luther King Jr. Day racing pro- gram went on as scheduled and drew a crowd of 19,001. JaneGoldstein, director of com- munications for Santa Anita, said the track, with a rare Monday rac- ing date because of the holiday, sustained "only superficial, cos- metic-type damage, a little plaster down The quake kept Roger Stein home, but the horse he trains, 11-1 shot Southern Truce, still won the $160,600 Santa Monica Handicap by a half length over Arches of Gold. "A Grade I race and I'm not even there Stein said when in- formed by a Santa Anita employee of Southern Truce's victory. Asked if that was thebestnews he'd heard all day, Stein replied, "You're not kidding Stein didn't go to the track be- cause of damage at his home in Woodland Hills, near the epicen- ter.

A case could be made to charge Tonya Harding on the first count. Take your pick of damning evi- dence: loose lips, an unsavory ex- husband, chintzy costumes, a lack of grace, too much mascara. Yet, the only thing that should matter to those de- ciding her fate is whether she can be charged with the second. So far, that reason- ing appears to be hold- ing. Harding spent most of Tuesday in mt Portland re- hashing the kneecapping of rival Nancy Kerrigan wh the local dis- trict attorney. Meanwhile, the president of the U.S. Figure Skat- ing Association was reminding people Handing's place on the team was by virtue of being national champion and not subject to the whims of a popularity poll. "It's like taking a public vote on whether you should hang some- one for a murder Claire Ferguson of the USFSA said. "Maybe it would makeiteasieronthecourts, but that's not the way we handle justice in this country It's like taking a public vote on whether you hang someone for murder. Claire Ferguson, USFSA Though Ferguson would never say so, her life would no doubt go much smoother if Harding simply surrendered her spot. There is no doubt that if Harding did so, life would be easier for a lot of people. For starters, there is the U.S. Olympic Committee, in whose lap the USFSA could dump this mat- ter by taking no action against Harding. MKI Mil I tmtm Mil ?

Her coach predicted Kerrigan would be performing jumps and other complicated moves as early as the end of this week. "My confidence wasn't bruised. That was just my knee Kerrigan said Monday after smil- ing her way through a practice session at a local ice arena. "I think if the Olympics were to- night, I'd be able to go out and do my performance ? although I might have to sit down at the end and say, 'Go get the stretcher Evy Scotvold, Kerrigan's coach, said he could see determi- nation in the skater's eyes. "As a coach, it's that game face that is really great to see Cotvold said. The crime against her, he said, "really has affected her in a positive way. She has a great mindset and amazing confidence right now Kerrigan was clubbed in the right knee at the U.S. Figure Skat- ing Championships on Jan. 6. While skating Monday, Kerrigan showed no visible ef- fect of the attack. She fell once, a mishap she later jokingly blamed on rough ice. "I was kind of stiff at first ? my knee, especially Kerrigan said later at a news conference in Pirates looking at CAA foes By Brian Olson Assistant Sports Editor While it might feel like it is 50 degrees below out- side, things are just start- ing to heat up inside some Colonial Athletic Associa- tion gymnasiums. The Pirates will com- plete their two game road trip on Saturday against Richmond and will come home to play two confer- ence games at home next week against fames Madi- son on Wednesday and UNC-Wilmington on Jan. 29. On Wednesday, the Bucs(2-1,10-4) were third in the division trailing UNC-W (4-0, 10-4) and James Madison (3-0,9-4). Wilimington so far seems like to be the team to beat. They have been on a roll and knocked off pre- season favorite Old Dominium earlier this week, while the Pirates already lost their first match-up with ODU. When the Pirates travel to Richmond, Sat- urday, they will be facing a team that has a deceiv- ing record (1-2,5-9). Ear- lier this year, the Spiders lost a one point game to Villanova and lost by only six to ACC opponent Wake Forest.Their confer- ence win came against William and Mary and their losses came to ODU and American. The Spiders are being led by senior forward Michael Hodges. He is av- eraging 13.6 points a game along with 7.4 rebounds a game. Guard Kass Weaver will be matched up with ECU guard Lester Lyons and should be a good one to watch. Weaver has the best shooting percentage on the team with .524 per- cent. If the division unfolds as it is currently, next week will be the most criti- cal for the Pirates if they expect to have a chance at the CAA crown. The two home games could set the tone for the rest of the sea- son for ECU. While ODU is currently only fourth, you can count on them being around to battle for the top spot. Always keep in mind that the regualr sea- son does not always pro- duce the CAA champ. All eight teams make the fi- nal tournament at the end of the season and that win- ner will advance on the NCAA Tournament. Last season the Pirates finished seventh during the regu- lar season and ended up going on to win the CAA Tournament in Rich- mond, Va. 15 ? ??

Sullivan, who last week lost his Indy car ride, said Tuesday he ex- pects todrive five NASCAR Winston Cup events in 1994, with the hope that he will have a full-time stock car ride the following seasoa The 43-year-old Sullivan con- firmed rumors of the move while watching a General Motors test ses- sion at Daytona International Speed- way. Sullivan, a former Formula One driver who won 17 Indy car races between 1982 and 1993, including last year's Detroit Grand Prix, parted company with Galles Racing last week after primary sponsor Molson pulled out. But Sullivan, known for being on the cutting edge of fashion and whomadetheuptumedcollaratrade mark, said that losing his Indy car ridewasnotthecatalystforthemove. "It was back in about October, I started thinking about maybe we ought to switch, try our hand at a differenttvpeofracingseewhathap- pens. But I don't know what the fu- ture holds Sullivan said.

They've been doing it for umpteen years, got a lot of experience itings ture 16 months ago, are U.S. Olym- pic Committee executive director Harvey Schiller and Northwest- ern University president Arnold Weber. Executive council chairman Bud Selig gave no indication that he thought a decision was near. Selig hailed the revenue-shar- ing agreement as historic and unique. It passed on a 28-0 vote but won't take effect unless the players' union agrees to a salary cap. Details of the plan weren't dis- closed. Teams in larger markets, such as New York, are expected to share some of their profits with teams from smaller markets, such as Pittsburgh. "It's something that a year ago I wouldn't have given you five cents for Selig said. "I didn't think it had a chance "We're united ? for a change Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott said. Even owners from large mar- kets expressed support for the plan, designed to increase com- petitive balance. "I'm not looking glum, am I?" New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said. The owners' efforts could be in vain, however. The plan won't take effect "until there's a salary cap, which makes this kind of an interesting exercise, doesn't it?" Texas Rangers general partner George W. Bush said. The players union opposes a salary cap. Disagreement over the issue could lead to a player strike, most likely late in the season. 'It's interesting the players have to be an integral part of this, but the players were excluded ' from the process" that led to ap- proval of the revenue-sharing plan, said Donald Fehr, executive director of the Major League Base- Iball Players Association. I Fehr said the players would accept a salary cap only if owners can prove it's needed and agree to share decision-making with the union. The players refused to con- sider a salary cap in 1990 and owners withdrew their proposal during a 32-day spring training lockout. Capriati puts down racquet Teen wants to finish school (AP) ? In the next few months, teen-ager Jennifer Capriati will be finishing high school, nursing her elbow and going to court to face a petty theft charge. But Capriati, the tennis star who was thurst at an early age into a bright, and often uncom- fortable spotlight, has decided to stay off the courts. "I think she was forced to take time off for an injury which she had most of 1993' her New York-based agent, Barbara Perry, told The Associated Press on Monday. "Having time off the tour, she decided she wants to concentrate on school until after graduation, then come back Capriati, 17, said she would quit the pro tour until after gradu- ation in June from Saddlebrook High School at Saddlebrook Re- sort in Wesley Chapel, just out- side Tampa. "This isn't a retirement Perry added. "We don't know the exact date she'll come back. It depends on her work load Since a first-round loss at the U.S. Open last August, Capriati has been out of action with bone chips in her elbow. She has a ca- reer match record of 149-45 and earned $1.5 million in prize money. The past two years, however, she has become increasingly more uncomfortable with her celebrity status and hinted as early as last winter she might step away from the game if the 1993 season mir- rored the year she had in 1992. "I need a break from it Capriati told The New York Times for a story in Monday's editions. "It's unfortunate that I had an injury, especially one that re- quired such a long recuperation, but I feel I've made the most of my break from the tour. And I've decided I want to concentrate on finishing my senior year Among the tournaments the world's 12th-ranked player will miss during her sabbatical are the Australian Open, the Lipton Play- ers Championships, and tour stops at Delray Beach and Amelia Island. In December, Tampa police cited her for allegedly shoplift- ing a ring during a shopping trip to a mall. Later this month she will go through arbitration, a court program for first-time ju- venile offenders who have ad- mitted guilt. Capriati's mother said the shoplifting allegation may have been the final element in her deci- sion to stop playing tennis. "Before the ring incident, she was seriously thinking of getting back to her training and coming back to play in the spring Denise Capriati told the Times Neither Capriati nor her par- ents could be reached for com- ment by the AP. Capriati's father, Stefano, who worked as his daughter's manager and coach until last year, said she is challenging her loved ones to see how they react to her if she doesn't play tennis.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE S.U. POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE ? ? ? ? MpKUMPQj fMMPMpai t T??,?, 13 The East Carolinian January 20, 1994 CBS picks up 1998 winter Olympics (AP) ? CBS Sports is finally a winner. The network, which last month lost its part of the NFL contract to the Fox television network, has won exclusive U.S. television rights to the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Sources close to the negotia- tions told The Associated Press Tuesday that the winning bid was about $375 million, a Winter Olym- pics record. The New York Times, in today's editions, reported CBS as having won the rights, quoting Richard Pound of Canada, an International Olympic Committee vice presi- dent. It was not known immediately whether CBS actually outbid Fox for the Winter Games or whether the International Olympic Com- mittee decided to accept a lower bid from the more established U.S. network. A news conference is sched- uled today in New York, but CBS would not confirm it was to an- nounce the bid. This would be the third straight Winter Olympics for CBS. The net- w ork paid $300 million for the next month's Games in Lillehammer, Norway, and $243 million for the 1992 Games in Albertville, France. The previous Winter Games record was $309 million by ABC for the 1988 Calgary Games. In December, CBS lost the N FC portion of the NFL contract for the next four years to Fox, which bid $1.58 billion, or about $100 million per year more than CBS. U.S. will bring high hopes to Lillehammer Taylor does thinss different for hockey (AP) ? There is cautious opti- mism for U.S. hockey. Head coach Tim Taylor of Yale did things differently this Olympic preseason. Instead of using NHL, college and European competitions as auditions for a stream of players, he kept essentially the same squad together, earning strong showings in exhibition games. There will be no last-minute raids of NHL players. Instead, he will field a team strong on offense, weaker on defense, with an average age of 22. The youth factor and the disap- pointing decision of center Derek Plante to stay with the Buffalo Sa- bres does not daunt Taylor, who ranks the U.S. team among the top five competitors. "We're young and we have to survive on youthful enthusiasm Taylor said. "We're going to have refreshingly excited kids Beyond figure skating and hockey lie some potential surprises. The U.S. luge team is the stron- gest ever. Wendel Suckow's world championship last season made him the first U.S. slider to place in the top three. Olympic veteran Duncan Kennedy has medaled in every com- petition this year. Credit has been given to a new training facility at Lake Placid, N.Y. Cammy Myler, fifth place fin- isher in the women's competition at Albertville, will return. Despite shoulder surgery, she took her third straight U.S. title last year. Hopes are even high for the U.S. bobsled team, which has not seen a medal in 30 years. Led by Olympic veteran Brian Shimer, the four-man team won last season's World Cup overall four-man com- petition and a bronze in last year s world championships. Add to that a made-in-America sled designed by race car driver Geoff Bodine. There is less optimism about Alpine and Nordic events, given the usually strong European teams, particularly the Norwegians with their home-field advantage. But there are rays of hope. Diann Roffe-Steinrotter, women's giant slalom silver med- alist in 1992, is returning following a strong 1992 season and a more mixed showing this year. Hilary Lindh, silver medalist in the 1992 women's downhill, is also on the team, returning after a knee injury last year. Look for good things from Julie ParisienandPicaboStreet;eachwon silver medals at last year's World Championships, but have been struggling this year. Therearesimilar hopes for men skiers AJ Kitt and Tommy Moe, following their strong showings in last year's World Cup competition. Expectations are high for the freestyle skiers. Donna Weinbrecht is back to defend her 1992 gold medal in the moguls following a year of excruciating rehabilitation from knee surgery. She has come backstrongwithgoldmedalsather first two World Cup events. Teammate Kriste Porter, a bronze medalist at last yea r's World Freestyle Ski Championships, hopes to become the first U.S. woman to take home a medal in the new aeri- als event. The men's aerials team is par- ticularly strong with World Cup champion Trace Worthington and fourth place finisher Kits Feddersen. And if medals and glory aren't enough incentive for the Ameri- cans, how abou t cash? In past Olym - pics, a good showing would earn a U.S. athlete $2,500. This year gold medalists get a $15,000 bonus; a silver earns $10,000 and a bronze $7,500. Fourth place garners $5,000. Moran said any improvement in the team's performance will have little to do with cash lures.

Hall adds new members (AP) ? Georgia athletic di- rector Vince Dooley, who coached the Bulldogs to a national title in 1980, was one of two former coaches named to theCollege Foot- ball Hall of Fame along with 12 players. The other coach was the late John Merritt of Jackson State and Tennessee State. Tony Dorsett, the Heisman Trophy winner from Pittsburgh whose 6,082 career rushing yards is the most in NCAA Division I-A, led the list of players named Mon- day. Induction is scheduled for Dec. 6. Others players chosen by the National Football Foundation were Bob Babich of Miami of Ohio, Steve Eisenhauer of Navy, Larry Elkins of Baylor, Pete Elliott of Michigan, Tucker Frederickson of Auburn, Jerry Groom of Notre Dame, John Had! of Kansas, Gif ford Nielsen of Brigham Young, Ozzie Newsome of Alabama, Marvin Powell of Southern Cal and Randy White of Maryland. . Dooley coached Georgia from 1964'to 1988, and at the time of his retirement ranked third nationally in victories. He was 201-77-10, leading his team to six Southeastern Conference titles and 20 bowl appearanaces in 25 seasons, including his last nine. In 1973, Dorsett became the first freshman in 29 years to be named to the All-America team. He is the only major college run- ner with three 1,500-yard sea- sons. Merritt was at Jackson State from 1953tol962andTennessee State for the next 21 seasons be- fore his death in 1983. His record was 232-65-11, and he was named Black Football Coach of the Year in 1962.

January 20, 1994 The East Carolinian Olympics in Norway will be unique Lillehammer may cause headaches The 1994 Winter Olympic at .i glance: WHAT: The 17th WinterOlym- pic Games. Norwegians call them "The Compact Games" because alJ venues are located within 36 miles of Lillehammer, the main host town WHEN: 16 days, from Feb. 12- 27,1994. WHERE: In Lillehammer, an artist colony and tourist spot of about 23,000 people, as well as nearby towns on the shores of Norway's largest lake, Mjosa, and the south Norway valley of Gudbrandsdalen. Lillehammer is about 1 lOmiles north of the capital, Oslo, and can be reached by road and train. Norway, a country of 4.3 million people, claims to be the cradle of modem skiing and is a superpower of winter sports, espe- cially skiing and speedskating. HOWMANY: About2,000ath- letes will compete for 115 gold med- als. Eighty countries, the most ever, have signed up; fewer will qualify- by the Jan. 31 deadline. About7,500 news media personnel, 8,000 vol- unteers, 2,200 police and 140,000 spectators will invade Lillehammer WHY 1994: Lillehammer had just two years, rather than the usual four, after the last Winter Games in 1992 because the International Olympic Committee decided to stagger the Summer and Winter Olympics. Until 1994, the Games were held the same year, after each four-vear Olympiad. Now, one or the other will be held every other year. HOW MUCH: Norway, mostly the national government, has spent about SI billion on the Games, not counting $533 million for roads, utilities and related projects. TRAVEL: There is no airport in Lillehammer. Most visitors will arrive from Oslo by train or bus. Roads will be closed to private cars except late at night and in the early hours of the morning. DVANTAGES: Norway is a winter sports haven.Charming Norse and Viking theme. Norway isa safe, clean and efficient country. Lillehammer isa picture book town, and the snow conditions have been excellent after a series of warm and dry winters DISADVANTAGES: Lillehammer is isolated and the trans- port system will be straining to bnng about 100,000 people a day into the region. Norway Ls already very ex- pensiveand residents fearprice-goug- ing, endless foof lines, serious traffic jams, and protests of Norway's com- mercial whale hunts or its role in brokeringapeacesettlementbetween Israel and the Palestine Liberation or- ganization.

And unless or until someone proves that what Harding knew and when she knew it preceded news reports, she de- serves the chance to do just that. Just Tuesday night, during a break in marathon talks with the D.A Harding released a statement saying she was cutting ties with ex- husband Jeff Gillooly, a move that puts additional space between her- self and the cast of cartoon charac- ters implicated in the Kerrigan plot. If her increasing leverage makes the USOC poobahs sweat, too bad. These are the same people who did nothing other than sweat when diver Bruce Kimball competed in the 1988 trials while charged with drunk driving in a fatal accident. If they're kicking themselves now for not tightening up character require- ments for Team USA, at least no one can say they weren't warned.

The Matadors, who lost 100-85 at Colo- rado on Monday night, decided to return home and postpone Wednesday's game against Air Force at Colorado Springs.
