Not even at the hospital. Greenville resi- dents awoke Tuesday to find low water pressure and a I looded Me- morial Drive after a 10-inch wa- ter main ruptured, threatening the eitv's water supply. The pipe broke around 7:15 a.m washing away a section of Memorial Drive at the intersec- tion of N.C. Highway 33 and Highway ll.TheGreenville Utili- ties Commission shut oft a sec- ond water line in order to make repairs, causing a water shortage to PittCountv Memorial Hospi- tal. The ECU School of Medi- cine was largely unaffected by the water line break, said Tom United Way serves local community By Laura Allard Staff Writer Greenville may not have the num ber of problems that largeci tics such as Washington, DC, or even Charlotte. N.C but our i itv dix's haveitsshareof calamities that mem- bers of the community mast deal with each day. Fortunately, pro- grams exist aimed specifically at al- leviating or eliminating such hard- ships. The United Way and its mem- ber agencies form a partnership to serve the community. "The United Way works with our member agencies to problem- solve, to promote non-duplicated services that meet the needs of the people saidGregg Allinson, direc- tor of the United Way of I'ittCounh- Community Services. "The 33 member-agencies are loosely divided into categories, based on the needs they meet he said. "In order to join the United Way, agencies must meet a need that is not being met by another member The United Way is run by five paid employees and a team of vol- unteers. These volunteers decide it applicants are meeting required cri- teria, review budgets and ensure fundsarespent effect! v eh 'for a cross- section of sen ices, acc tiding ti bi th Allinsmandl993campaigncohair John FerrenThe United Way has admitted only two agencies in the last three or four years Allinson said. "Anybody can apply,but few agencies are accepted "The pro- cess for acceptance includes a Strin- gentlist of criteria becauseof limited resources Ferren said. "New agencies equal greater needs, but the 34 agencies can only deal with so many problems he added. "Othercommunity agencies must meet the needs that the U ni ted Way cannot Youth agencies, like the Boys and (. iris Club and Project Sunsh i ne, meet the need s of the chil- dren of PittCountv. Programs such as Picaso, for HIV-positive Pitt County reader's, and Meals On Wheels, tor housebound elderlv residents, serve specific needs of the Pitt County community.

"We didn't tare too badlv Fortner said. "From our stand- point at the Med School, it was metre of an inconvenience Fort tier said that water pres- sure for the Brody Building was low and employees were asked to conserve water. "We noticed that the water fountains didn't have their usual pressure, he said. "We were also asked not to flush the toilets or get water from the water fountains. "Had it gone on tor much longer, we would have had a se- rious problem Fortner said. "We do have a plan for when the water shuts down, but fortu- nately we didn't have to use it The Medical School was not the only part of ECU that experi- enced water problems fuesday. Low pressure was repotted on Main Campus, and some build- ings were without water com- pletely, "We had very low pressure in some of the high-rise dorms, and also in some of the older buildings on campus said Ricky Hill, manager ot the facilities Service Center. "We also had a report that the Whichard Building had no water at all I lill said. "I can't viv that it was actually out; it might have been that it was so low that someone thought it was out Repairs to the water line were completed by 12 p.m. on Tuesday, but water pressure was slow to return to normal levels Hill said Main Campus was back to full pressure by 2 p.m. but pressure in the Medical School did not return to normal until Wednesday. Pitt Memorial Hospital fared much worse in the ordeal than most of the city. Fire trucks shuttled in 1,200 to 2,000 gallons of water at a time and the Greenville Fire-Rescue Department pumped 1,000 gal- lons a minute into the hospital's water system after it lost all wa- ter pressure. Some elective surgery was affected by the lack of water, but most other operations in the hos- pital continued as usual, said Sue Bizzaro, spokesperson for the ( reenville Utilities Commission. During the six hours in which the hospital was shut off from the city's water supply, it received an estimated 330,000 gallons ot water. Pitt Memorial uses an estimated 200 to 300 gal- lons ot water a minute.

The oldest School ot Business is UNC-Chapel 1 lill. I hesc liool of business has five departments: Accounting, Decision Scieni e, Finance, Man- agement and Marketing. " The accounting department has the largest number ot majors said Larry Hagler, Chair ot the Ac- counting department. There are three types of programs avail- able in this field. The Bachelor of Science in Business Administra- tion (BSBA) is a four-year pro- gram with a concentration in management accounting, for stu- dents who do not intend of re- ceive professional certification, such as that of a certified public accountant (CP A). I he Bachelor of Science Master of Science in accounting (BSAMSA) is a combined five- year program, and a student re- ceives both degrees when the re- quirements ot the program have been achieved. The third program is the master of science in ac- counting (MSA). The MSA is for students who received an undergradu- ate degree in a field other that accounting or accounting it- self Hagler said. Hagler em- phasized that the program a student studies is dependent upon their aptitude. "It's simply that some people can do well in math- ematics and others cannot he said. "We try to be flexible and do what's best for the student. We see what their career goal and objectives are Decision Science is the See PROFILE page 3 If you don't run, ROTC can't dance By Tammy Zion Staff Writer ECU's Army ROTC is hop- ing to attract more than 300 Greenvilk residents, students, faculty, Creeks and even a lew military units tor the first annual k race sponsored In I CU's mili- tary si ience department.

We are about to emba rk on a process to show how it hap- pened State Attorney Rod Smith said. Prosecutors seeking the death penalty for Danny Harold Rolling, 39, plan to release mas- sive amounts of previously undis- closed evidence collected at the murder scenes. The evidence includes de- tails of how Rolling targeted his female victims, bound them with tape, raped them, stabbed them and arranged their bodies in lewd poses. Rolling pleaded guilty Tues- day to five counts of first-degree murder, and three each of sexual battery and armed burglary. He is already serving three life terms for burglary and rob- bery, and now faces another life term or death in the electric chair. Jury selection for the pen- altv phase of the trial was sched- uled to begin Wednesday. Rolling's lawyer, Rick Parker, said he will argue that his client was mentally ill when he killed the students and should not be executed. "This evidence will be help- ful in understanding how thesame person can rape and murder, then later regret these acts and feel com- passion for the living loved ones surviving his violence Parker said.

Medical prices are inexpensive Photos by Leslie Petty CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) � They're pros at traveling Light. But for this trip � a space program first � they want to be prepared. When astronauts Norman Thagard and Bonnie Dunbar leave next week for a year of cosmonaut training in Russia, they'll be taking along some of the comforts of home. For Thagard, 50, a physician who designs amplifiers in his spare time, that means a stereo, TV and VCR. For Dunbar, 44, a biomedical engineer, that means a tool kit, bat- teries, film and � oh yes � instant oatmeal. "There are no 7-Eleven stores over there Dunbar explained Tuesday. Thagard and Dunbar are the first Americans assigned to Russia's cosmonaut training program. It's part of thesameagreement that had RussiancosmonautSergei Krikalev flying last week on space shuttle Discovery. Under the astronaut-cosmo- naut exchange program, Thagard will be rocketed into orbit aboard a Russian Soyuz in March 1995 and willspend three months on Russia's space station Mir, conducting mostly medical experiments. Dunbar is his backup. Neither volunteered to go. NASA asked them, and they hap- pilv obliged. "Being the first American to fly in the Russian program offsets any disadvantages Thagard said Tuesday. "Since I'll have my family there, the thing I would miss most won't be missing he added. Only about a dozen or so of the 100 astronauts expressed a strong desire to go to Russia; many were reluctant for family reasons. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced its final selection on Feb. 3. The Russian Space Agency is handling all the arrangements, just as NASA did for Krikalev and his backup, Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Titov, when the two ar- rived at Johnson Space Center in Houston in 1992. Thagard and Dunbar, who plan to leave Monday, will have their own furnished apartments at the cosmonaut quarters in Star City just outside Moscow. That's qui te a change from the ear ly 1970s when the Soviet Union built a high-security hotel inStarCity for occasional visits by the three American astronauts assigned to the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz docking mission and their NASA entou- rage. Thagard will be joined by his wife, Rex, a teacher, and their youngest son, Daniel. 14, as soon as school is out. Dunbar's hus- band, astronaut Ronald Sega, who's just back from space, will visit as often as he can; they have no children. Dunbar anticipates there will be "a lot of rough edges to smooth out just because it's a new program Identifying those rough edges will be an important part of their job � four American astronauts are to follow Thagard to Mir and up to 10 shuttle-Mir dockings are planned before the two countries start building a joint space station in 1997. Thagard and Dunbarexpect language to be their biggest chal- lenge, even though they have been studying Russian since 1992. Living in a country with po- litical and economic instability doesn't worry them. Neither does spending three months in space. Thagard, a four-time shuttle flier, has never spent more than eight days in space at a time. Dunbar's longest space trip, her third, lasted 13 days. "Three months is not so ter- ribly long Thagard said. "If we were talking a year, I'd probably have different thoughts about it ELBO IGHT I Admission $5.00 members $6.00 Guests lOtf Domestics All Nite (your choice) 75t Shot Specials ElUrJJriJdJaJdJdJriJcUriJcL iMiims2miMimiMnm2M dJrJJdJrl lMiMiMliMliMfiMiMim !MnMiM;iMiM'iMilW Free Admission from 7-9pm for Members and Greeks $1 admission for ECU Guest til 9pm $2.75 pitchers $2.00 Teas and Bahama Mamas 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ATTIC ii 20 1 752-7303 " E. 5th St. 1 presents Benefit for Greenville Homeless Shelter With bd brains Thursday February 17 994 Highballs � 994 Memberships � 994 32oz Draft Doors Open at 9pm Tickets Only $8 in Advance at the following ticket locations: Quicksilver � East Coast Music & Video Wash Pub � The Attic a rjrarrJrrJr mi nr tji mi mi mi fj �MHMMMMMNnwi PMHM �immai&lm& February 17, 1994 The Fast Carolinian 3 PROFILE Continued from page 1 study of decision-making in a manager's context. "There three parts to this process said Dr. Robert Schellenberger, chair of the Decision Science Department. "The first part of the pro- cess is to understand the goals and objectives of organization, and specific goals of making any decision. Secondly, when mak- ing the decision, look for infor- mation, arrange the information so it's meaningful and get the information statistically and mathematically. Once that's done, you're in a position to make a decision Schellenberger points out that the role of Decision Sciences is not to mak e decisions, but to aid the decision-maker in mak- ing the decision. "1 his course is known as management informa- tion system (MIS). MIS was pre- viously called computer informa- tion system, and is an under- graduate program with approxi- mately 80 juniors and seniors Schellenberger said. Production management is another undergraduate program, and it is an application of deci- sion-making tools and under- standing of a manufacturing en- vironment. This used to be an area in the management depart- ment, and as Schellenberger said, "We shifted in hope of increas- ing the student population A graduate program is also offered, and there is no concentration. The Decision Science de- partment provides the opportu- nity for people to interact. "We do this with class projects Schellenberger sa id Projects for industry, and we try to have people from industries come to the classroom According to Schellenberger, the department also encourages industries to hire ECU students in Co-Op and full- time employment. Banking, real estate and co- operate finance are the tree areas offered in the department of fi- nance. Banking is for students with financial and banking inter- ' ests; real estates deals with sell- ing and real estate investments or appraisals; and coop- erate fi- nance is for students interested in financial analysis with manufac- t u r i n g firms.

Dr. Edward Wheatley, Chair of the Marketing department ad- vises students in the field to come to the department and talk about their major, and recommends that thev take the first marketing course (MKTG 3832). "The reason 1 say that is that the field is so broad, and this course is very useful as students can lea rn what interests and aptitudes they have in marketing Wheatley said. There are about 175 majors in marketing and about 80 percent study marketing management. This gives the student an ex- tremely broad perspective in mar- keting. The other 20 percent study retail management. "This is ideal for students who come from a family business or those who want to work in a chain store or specialty store Wheatley said. Student activities in market- ing include the award winning collegiate chapter of the Ameri- can Marketing Association (AMA), a professional organiza- tion, operated by students. AMA allows students to interact with other student majors, faculty and business executives. Students have the advantage of being profession- ally and socially involved with the marketing world.

Warmer weather ushers in animal neglect j The defintion given in The American Heritage Dictionary for "pet" is "an animal kept for amusement or companionship Obviously, the editors of this most illustri- ous dictionary hold the same unfortunate view of pets as the growing number of ECU students with pets hold. To own a pet is an interesting concept. As the supposed "highest" member of the animal kingdom, humans hold the Puritan thought that God gave us the power to rule over all the beasts on land and in the sea. And while it is true that we are reasoning creatures and have the ability to hold that position in the universe, we certainly don't have the right to abuse that privilege. In the vyords of Stan Lee, "With great power comes great responsibility When someone aquires an animal � whether as a gift from someone or for your- self � they aquire along with the furry little beast a sort of contract for the remain- der of the animal's life. The owner is the guardian, the sole provider and the com- panion for the animal. It's not just a play- thing when it's convenient � in fact � it's very much like a child. Animals should never be bought, sold or kept for entertainment purposes. If that is your intent when you stand with your face pressed up against the window of the pet store, gazing into a puppy's sad little take-me-home-with-you eyes, then you should be bodily dragged from the pre- -mises and barred from ever stepping foot in any pet store, animal shelter, puppy farm or pound again. Rent Lassie Comes Home or Beethoven if you're that irresponsible � people with bad attitudes deserve to watch bad movies. This all comes down to one point. Un- doubtedly, with the onset of decent weather, you have noticed unleashed dogs on your way to class. They wander free, sticking their noses in your food as you sit at Student Stores and follow behind you as you walk out of the library. To dispel the argument that someone is sure to bring up about dogs loving to be outside unleashed, consider when other fac- tors are figured in: The animal could get stolen, run-over, shot at (don't laugh, it's happened), hurt, lost or just plain hungry and thirsty. Now ask yourself, is that really fair to the animal? Would you do that to your child? Of course not. And while animals enjoy ihe freedom, their owners must realize that they are met with situations that may harm them. So what's the solution to these neglected dogs? Should there be a regular round-up of all such animals, wherein they would be taken to the pound and their owners notified (maybe even fined), or should an area be set up where they could be "lodged" during the time students are in class? Maybe ECU could set aside space in the mall area like many parks have, with water dishes and plenty of room to run. With that idea, we are met with the chal- lenge of who will watch the animals, what if they don't get along, etc. And to that, we suggest that if you have taken on the responsibility (a very important word here, folks) of a pet, then it is your responsibility to provide the necessary home for said animal to roam while you are in class. Ma.ybe now these dog owners will look into the little concept called responsibility and stop leaving their pets for everyone else to take care of while they're in class. Believe that if the dog could, it would thank you for it. By John P. Adams Advertisements lie about worthless products Walking to class the last couple of days 1 couldn't help but notice a banner hanging between two trees across from the library. I'm sure you've seen it too. It's hard to miss. The banner reads, "Enjoy Qoca-Cola ��������� billboards advertising every- thing from douche to fabric soft- ener. It might look something like the final scene from Terry Gilliam's brilliant movie Brazil. I think this could be what puts ECU on the map. They MMMHMHMB could make Classic. Value menus now at all campus snackbars. In- troductory special; all Coke 20 oz. bottles 69 cents At first, in my haste to "get to class, I hardly noticed this seemingly innocuous ban- ner. However, the more I passed it, the more it started to irritate me. Are we not inundated with advertising enough in our day-to-day existence that we need to be subjected to ban- ners hung between trees ad- vertising Coca-Cola, the mothership of commercialism ? � Who is responsible for this trash? The university? Some marketing representa- tive for Coca-Cola? Some peon manager fiom the campus snackbar? Who? Identify thy- self. Stand up so we can ap- plaud your capitalist cunning. Hey, why stop at banners in trees? Maybe we could lami- nate desk tops with advertise- ments. Maybe we could put ads on lunch trays in the caf- eteria. I know! We could line the sidewalks with miniature Are we not inundated with advertising enough in our day-to- day existence that we need to be subjected to banners between trees ? some slick little promo- tional video like the ones they show on televi- sion during halftime of college sporting events. They could come up with a catchy slogan like, "ECU, edu- cating tomorrow's consumers today" or, "ECU, leading America's universities into the 21st century of campus adver- tising Nice, eh? Maybe I'm getting a little carried away. It's just a little banner. The fraternities and so- rorities hang their crude, dis- tasteful banners from the trees at the beginning of every se- mester and no one seems to care. So, why should I care about some paltry Coca-Cola adver- tisement? The difference is simple. While the Greeks are doing us all a service by recruiting the puerile automatons of our es- teemed university into their cliques, the Coca-Cola adver- tisement is trying to dupe us into believing that for 69 cents, we can obtain all the benefits Coca-Cola has to offer. Benefits which include caf- feine addiction. Caffeine hap- pens to be one of the most ad- dictive substances known to man. If you don't believe me and drink Coca-Cola on a regu- lar basis, try quitting for a few days. You may get light-headed, experience headaches and be- come quite obstinate. Caffeine also dehydrates the body. Have you ever noticed that no matter how much Coca-Cola you drink, your thirst is never satisfied? What's really outrageous is that the banner insinuates that a 20 oz. Coca-Cola for 69 cents is a bargain. For 69 cents you could go to the grocery store and get a 2-litre of some generic brand. The total cost for producing that one 20 oz. Coca-Cola is prob- ably around 5 cents! Most of that 5 cents being for the plastic bottle. The point is that advertis- ing is a lie, or, as Edward S. Herman wrote, "Advertising is value creation Taking some- thing worthless and making it important to us is what adver- tisements try to do, but we all know this. The danger of advertising is its continuous lying, which, if unchecked, begins to seem like the truth. In our society what you say is not as important as how often you iay it. Whoever put that banner up, I think you should take it down. We all pay a lot of money to go to this school, and I think we should be able to walk across the campus without having ad- vertisements thrown in ou r face By Laura Wright Piggish pet owners put pooches in a pinch Last semester I wrote an ar- ticle about college students and their responsibilities as pet own- ers. In case you don't remember the column, let me refresh your memory with a few of my key points. First of all, college students are transients. Our stay here is temporary and we don't know where we may be after we gradu- ate. If you get a pet when you're a sophomore, chances are you'll still have it when you're ready to move on. If you were lucky enough to live in an apartment or a house where you could have a pet, you may not be so lucky at your next destination. Second, animals need to be outside some of the time; they need to get exercise and they need fresh air. At the other end of the spec- trum, if you can't have a pet inside where you live then, by gum, don't get one. No animal deserves to be tied down or caged in. And finally, baby animals grow up and become less cute. If they are unwanted, they may be abandoned. 1 bring all of this back up again because I have become the somewhat reluctant and hopefully temporary owner of one white stray cat whom I refer to with immense affection as "Expense I found said cat wandering around outside of the library last Satur- day and I couldn't leave him there. After much contemplative agony, I decided to take the kitty to my apartment in spite of the fact that I am not allowed to have pets and will most likely get evicted if Ex- pense is discovered. I have placed ads in newspa- pers, made flyers and basically hounded all of my friends, neigh- bors and colleagues in the hopes that I will be able to find a home for my wayward friend. So far, no luck. I did receive one call from a nice person�let's call her Beth� who told me that she knew the previous owner of the cat (my fly- ers had photos). Apparently, Expense's previous owner outed him and Beth looked after him for a while but unfortunately she is not allowed to have pets where she lives either. So I'm stuck because, basi- cally, I'm a nice person who can't leave well enough alone. Butdon't get me wrong; I really like this cat and, if circumstances were differ- ent, I would keep him. He hasn't been too much trouble either aside from the fact that he set my house on fire the other night but that's another story. OK, I'll tell it. I put a foam rubber-filled pillow on the window sill to keep the cat from perching in the win- dow and perhaps being seen by my landlord. The cat, while I was sleeping, knocked the pillow off the sill and on to the radiator. Tech- nicallv, it wasn't his fault. The poor thing nearly died before I woke up. In case you're won- dering, we are both fine now. My apartment, on the other hand, is basically uninhabitible and my smoke alarms don't work. Just an aside: Check the batteries in your smoke alarms. You never know when you might nearly kill a cat because they aren't functioning prop- erly. So what I'm saying is that I can't keep this cat. It's not fair to either one of us but I know that there has got to be some- one out there who would be good to this creature. He'sbeau- tiful: solid white�only slightly smoke stained � with big blue eyes. I took him to the vet after the fire incident and he was given a clean bill of health. And he is a true sweetheart and re- ally starved for affection. If you want to take him off of my hands, please give me a call. I can be reached at 757- 6366 or 757-4282, or you can leave a message for me and I'll call you back. I'll throw in a bag of litter, some cat chow and a small litter box. Do I sound like an adver- tisement? Well, if you take him, you can even rename him free of charge. I don't think that he'll notice. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article in the Feb. 10th paper, "Health Services May Need Some First Aid I agreed with your article in that the services it provides are not only sufficient but superior for the cost imposed to the students. However, I would like to address another issue regarding Student Health Ser- vices. I am a senior this year and am prepared to graduate this May. To this day, I have still never received a kind, word, a smile or a simple "thank you" from any office employee in Health Services. Don't get me wrong, the nurses, nurse practitioners and doctors have all been extremely pleasant but the receptionist, appointment secretary, pharmacy employees, and my personal favority, the cashier, have been nothing short of rude. I hate to point the finger at any indi- vidual but, every single time 1 have been to Student Health Services to pay a bill, the cashier is not in her office but instead down the hall laughing and talking, late returning from her lunch hour, at the vending machines or on several occasions, eating cake or some other dessert that she brings up from some room in the back. By the time she decides to serve the people who pay her salary, a line is backed up into the waiting room which makes everyone late for class. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't she there for our convenience and disposal? Speaking of disposal, maybe there should be mention of hers in the next Health Ser- vices meeting She has never granted me the respect of simple eye contact or responded to my questions with answers and, most frequently, she has left me waiting in line while she accepted a personal phone call and remained on the line for ten minutes. She has a disrespectful, rude, bitter and arrogant disre- gard for the students (a.k.a her employer) and while I'm at it, does she or does she not realize that she is obligated to an eight hour work day just like everybody else? Maybe someone needs to inform her that she is not excluded from the concept of "a full day's work for a full day's pay And because I, along with other paying students at this school, have a legitimate interest in how money is allo- cated. I motion to suggest time cards for employees who insist on "riding the clock I have never written a letter to any public media source before because, believe me, it takes time I desparately need, however I feel very strongly about this and feel I have right to this opinion after four years of inconvenience and disregard. Mary Lucas Senior Elementary Education To the Editor: Jones has switched parties, districts in which he is campaigning, religions, his opinion on issues. He was for affirmative action, but now denies it to try and fool us conservatives. He talks about family values, but used to run a liquor store. He received PAC money after his father passed away back in the summer of 1992. You see, a congress person can receive PAC money if he or she retires or dies. He did vote for the voting districts hoping this would help him win in the first district. As a Repub- lican, I am very disAppointed with the Republican partv. Is not there anyone in the third district who could run besides Mr. Jones? I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I actually agree witha Democrat. Mr. Blue, my hats off to you for unveiling the truth to average Joes like myself. I usu- ally vote for Republicans, but this time I will be voting for a Democrat. By the way, I heard Waffle House is serving signature Walter B. Jones, Jr. waffles, since he likes to waffle on the issues.

BaldwinBasinger movie provides getaway By Ike Shibley Staff Writer One of the many factors that makes cinema so likeable is the variety of options available to a student of film to build a cinematic literacy. So many different strings can be followed from one film to another. For example, TJie Getaway stars Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. I liked the film so much that I looked up all the other films both stars have made and now want to see more of them. I also liked the way director Roger Donaldson (who directed the much underrated White Sands) told the story so I the next time I go to the video store I Madness hits New Orleans NEW ORLEANS (AP) � Louisiana's French Catholics � and hundreds of thousands of tourists �jamrnedstreetsMondaynightdanc- ing to the jazz of rolling bands and screamingforbeadsand trinkets tossed by float riders.

As I read recent press about The Getaway I learned that the film is a remake of a 1972 film starring Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw. I liked the newest film so much that I decided to see the original. The strings I could follow from that film include the other films of the two leads or perhaps other film of director Sam Peckinpah. The original screenplay of The Getaway was written by Walter Hill who later went on to direct The Outsid- ers, 48 Hours, and most recently Geronimo. The Getaway is a fast-paced, action-packed, witty, engrossing crime story and leaves one realiz- ing that the feelings elicited by the film could have be gotten in no other medium�not books, not music not theater. Tlie Getaway starts with Carter "Doc" McCoy (Alec Baldwin) tar- geting shooting with his wife Carol (Kim Basinger). The love that Doc and Carol feel for each, becomes evident in the opening scene. When Doc ends up in a Mexican prison only a few days later, the audience understands that Carol will do any- thing to get her husband free, even sleep with a shifty lawyer named Jack Benyon (James Woods) who can help free Doc. Benyon wants Doc's help to rob a racetrack once he gets free. But Benyon also wants to spend time with Carol before Doc is re- leased. When Doc later learns what Carol had to do to free him his temper flares and tension rises be- tween them. Doc and Carol also have to contend with a two-bit hood named Rudy (Michael Madsen) who wants to kill Doc. Rudy kidnaps a veterinarian and his dim-witted wife Fran (Jennifer Tilly). Fran takes a liking to Rudy to the grave dis- pleasure of her husband. All this tension on screen oc- curs during an extended chase across Texas toward the Mexican border where Doc and Carol hope to make their getaway.

Family Channel premieres story on 19th century slavery LOS ANGELES (AP) � Friend of a friend. The poignant phrase is used by runaway slaves to identify those willing to help them flee the South in "Race to Freedom: The Underground Railroad a Family Channel movie premiering Satur- day.

"Race to Freedom" is set in 1850, the year Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act. The act made it illegal to aid or abet an escaped slave, even in non-slave states, un- der risk of fine or imprisonment. Sympathetic Canadians offered their country as a haven, and it became the final "station" of the railroad for as many as 40,000 people.

Sur- prisingly, the entire album is acous- tic, although certain guitar riffs are vaguely reminiscent of older Throwing Muses songs. Most of the songs on Hips and Makers are excellent, filled with in- trospective lyrics that Hersh' s voice carries into the soul of the listener. "Your Ghost a song Hersh sings with Michael Stipe from R.E.M is especially beautiful. Their voices blend to create a hauntingly emo- tional effect that sends chills down one's spine. This song, which de- buted on MTV's "120 Minutes" three weeks ago, is reason enough to purchase the album. However, This is not the only great song on the album. " Teeth" and "A Loon" are aiso excellent. Hersh's voice and her skillful guitar playing combine to create music that is both power- ful and exciting. However, a few songs don't quite meet the high standard set by "Your Ghost" and others. Two of these lesser songs are "Beestung" and "Hips and Mak- ers These songs simply don't seem to fit in with the rest of the album. Although the lyrics are still flowing and poetic, the accompanying music is disappointing. "Beestung for example, has elementary and redundant piano accompaniment that makes the song seem long and boring. "Hips and Makers also with poor accompaniment, is performed on guitar and has an entirely different sound than "Beestung The notes played are short and choppy and, although it is rythnuc, the music does not seem to suit Hersh's voice or her lyrics. Fortunately, these songs are few in number, and the rest of the album is well written and per- formed. As a whole, Hersh's album displays her knowledge of music with its variety and her talent as lyricist with phrases like, "you're so tall its like climbing a water- fall Her words are both pictur- esque and original, her music is touching. If you enjoy the passion and energy of the Throwing Muses, this album is worth a try. � Jodi Connelly 8 The East Carolinian February 17, 1994 Viacom wins battle with QVC NEW YORK (AP) � Viacom said today it had won its five-month battle againstQVC Net- work for Paramount Communica- tions Inc the entertainment con- cern that has been the focus of the most fiercely fought takeover con- test in years. Viacom Inc the owner of MTV, Showtime and other cable channels, said nearly 91.7 million Paramount shares, or about 74.6 � percent of the total, were tendered as of midnight under terms of its nearly S10 billion cash and stock buyout offer. That was well above the 50.1 percent required for Viacom to gain control of Paramount, which owns a movie studio, Simon & Schuster books, Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks basketball and Ranger hockey teams. There was no immediate comment on the Viacom announce- ment from either QVC or Para- mount. Under bidding rules it agreed on with Paramount and QVC, Viacom said QVC would be required to terminate its offer. Viacom was ottering SI07 a share in cash for 50.1 percent of Paramount's shares, and securities tor the remainder. QVC had of- fered SHU a share in cash for 50.1 percent of Paramount stock, and securities for the rest. Viacom and Paramount signed an $8.2 billion merger deal in September, but QVC made a counteroffer for Paramount shortly afterward, touching off the bid- ding war. In the end, Viacom wound up sweetening its initial bid by nearly S2 billion. The contest featured two charismatic leaders, the billionaire Sumner Redstone of Viacom against former Paramount Pictures boss Bam Diller of QVC, and at- tracted well-known media and tele- phone companies into the fray. The battle came to stand as a symbol of the high stakes involved as technology promises to trans- form how entertainment, informa- tion and services are delivered to consumers. Paramount is believed to be the last major studio that will come available anytime soon. Viacom and QVC each argued they would make the better partner. Redstone said the deal was part of Viacom's ambition to "cre- ate a global media powerhouse of unparallelled proportions in theen- tertainment industry Viacom has a separatedeal to merge with Block- buster Entertainment Corp the nation's biggest video retailer. QVC Network, based in West Chester, Pa operates a home shoppingchannel and Diller hoped to use that company's expertise in dealing directly with customers in developing a broad-based multi- media company. Why so much violence on TV? LOS ANGELES (AP) � More violence is coming to television. But the networks sav they're frying to examine the issue, not exploit it.

I believe we have to deal with problems in order to solve them Ober announced a three-hour "CBS Reports" news special on vio- lence, a documentary by filmmakers Paul and Holly Fine that is scheduled to air later this year. The prime-time special is not in- tended simply to rehash the alarming rise in crime, he said; the goal is to examine trie impact on individuals and find answers.

A recent episode of the si tcom Roc' 'add ressed the issue of black-on-black violence, while "Beverly Hills, 90210" took on date rape and the dangers of handguns. A series of public service an- nouncements also is airing on Fox. One features "Roc" star Charles S. Dutton, who turned his life around after serving time in Maryland for a manslaughter conviction. "These are our own kids killing each other an impassioned Dutton says in the spot, standing among a roomful of black youngsters.

In "Snoops he and wife Daphne Maxwell Reid played sophisti- cated amateur sleuths. (Reid is costarring with Jackee Harry in an upcoming ABC sitcom, "Sister, Sister He's taken off his producer's mantle for the series, which he describes as "good, old-fashioned family fun) All the actors do an incredible job in this fine film. Alec Baldwin has managed to make his cockiness sexy. He has developed into a fine actor of smug self-assurance who can dominate a film. With Malice and now The Getaway he seems poised at the brink of super-star- dom that eluded him after The Hunt for Red October. Kim Basinger (Baldwin's offscreen wife) can make me cringe but in The Getaway she manages to seem sexy and smart at the same time. She may wind up benefitting from her refusal to make Boxing Helena because The Getaway opened well during its first weekend while last year the former film bombed. Basinger lacks Baldwin's charisma but together their chemistry works well. Michael Madsen seems ready to fashion a career out of despi- cable scum He provides as fright- ening a menace in The Getaway as he did in The Reservoir Dogs. In the latter film, he managed to leave an indelible mark amidst a bevy of top-notch performances. The Getaway provides first-rate entertainment. The love between Doc and Carol provides a striking contrast to their lifeof crime. A film capableof making two thieves seem so likeable deserves praise Doc and Carol may be outlaws, but the au- dience cheers for them to make it to Mexico. The action in The Getaway pro- pels the film. Many great scenes including one in a garbage truck and one on a train will leave audi- ences breathless. Donaldson con- ducts the action scenes with obvi- ous skill. The Getaway is just that. Spend- ing a night with this film provides a great getaway from the rigors of daily living. It also provides sev- eral strings to follow on the road to cinematic literacy. On a scale of one to 10, The Getaway rates a seven. Continued from page 7 honorable mentions.

Orr's Ford Thunderbird went out of control Monday and flipped in turn two on the high-banked 2.5-mile oval. His car smashed into the concrete wall at the top of the banking, the roof over the driver's side of the car taking the initial impact. Orr lived in Florida, but he kept close ties to Robbinsville in Graham County, where he visited family and friends frequently. Fie had racing sponsors in the town of 750 people, displayed his Dash cars at a local service station and showcased his new Winston Cup Ford Thunderbird there shortly after Christmas. "Most all the sports fans in town and his friends tried to keep up with his racing career Robbinsville Mayor Bishop Holder told the Asheville Citizen-Times. Orr, 31, the defending Goody's Dash (4-cylinder) series champion, had hoped to enter his first Win- ston Cup race Sunday in the Daytona 500. He was one of only seven drivers who had been above 190 mph in practice runs. He was the second person to dieat Daytona in 1994. Neil Borinett was killed in a one-car crash at Davtona's rum four on Friday. His mother, Jane Collis, who operates a Robbinsville beauty shop, was at work when the news of Orr's death broke, said friend Kevin Brooks. The Brooks family Exxon ser- vice station helped sponsor Orr's career from his 1991 Dash start. Brooks said the service station took up a collection to help Orr's career, raising $8,000 to 510,000. "We bought his tires, that kind of thing Brooks said. Brooks' father, Bobby, was in Davtona Monday when Orr was killed. He had brought Orr sup- plies for the race. Brooks said Orr got his start racing motorcycles. "After getting banged up some he decided he'd try his luck at cars. He was a competitive person. He justwantedtomoveonup.Itdidn't matter what the purse was. He raced to win Harding getting ready for 'hammer time' (AP) � Tonya Harding hit the grouiid in Norway Tuesday and headed for the Lillehammer Winter Games,completinga trip of triumph that seemed all but impossible a week ago. She was whisked away in a blue van and headed for Hamar, where she will live, practice and compete with Nancy Kerrigan. Asked as she changed planes in Copenhagen if she was confi- dent, Harding replied, "Yes "I'm very excited she said, "I'm very excited to be here. I'm very excited to have the opportu- nity to compete in the Olympic Games once more The SAS flight that brought Harding to Norway was no ordi- nary journey. She was on her way to the Lillehammer Games, and that alone was a victory. "It feels really good she told The Associated Press aboard her flight. "I'm tired, but I'm glad I'm KENTUCKY going.

There was a time when that Olympic showdown seemed un- likelv for the 23-year-old national champions who left a ton of trouble behind in Portland, Ore troubles that will still be there when she returns. It took a $25 million lawsuit against the U.S. Olympic Commit- tee to ensure that Harding would be skating in Norway. Before she filed the suit, the USOC had sched- uled a hearing in Oslo to consider her role in the attack on Kerrigan. That hearing could have resulted in her expulsion from the U.S. Olym- pic team. But, in a deal cut-Saturday, the USOC canceled the hearing and Harding dropped the lawsuit. ting 12 of 23 in the second half to rally from a 68-37 deficit.

"We were up by 30 We worked so hard this week; everybody's very hurt The loss was especially heart- breaking for the Tigers because it followed a 28-point loss to an Au- burn team that hadn't won an SEC game all season. "Somewhere along the line, good has to come out of bad LSU coach Dale Brown said. "It was a magnificent effort by our team; it just came down to free throws. We weren't able to hit them at the end "I can't believe it. I know I've never, ever witnessed anything like it Pitino said. "It's the most character I've ever seen in a bas- ketball team.

Jordan a big hit with media from all over world in baseball (AP)�Michael Jordan needed to get avva v horn all this four months ago when he retired from basket- ball. No cameras, no recorders, no questions. Just tee times and quality time with his family. But Tuesday, for the second time in eight days, he put his base- ball skills on display and about 250 media members, some from as far away as England, France and Ja- pan, were there to analyze his every move and twitch. Smiling and looking at ease in the warm sun, Jordan didn't ex- actly put on a hitting display during several turns in thebattingcage. He met the ball, butnotwithmuch pop against batting practice pitching. Next week he'll be facing real major league hurlers. "Look at the people, look at the media. Imagine the pressure said one big Jordan fan, Chuck Black, who along with a dozen other fol- lowers was lying on his stomach behind the left field fence, trying to peer in under a billboard and catch a glimpse of the White Sox' rookie, No. 45. The general public wasn't allowed into Ed Smith Stadium on Tuesday. VictorCarranza,sportingaNo. 23 Chicago Bulls ha t inscribed "The single greatest player of all time was more than willing to get dirty to see Jordan run the bases, shag flies, take grounders and makepegs to the infield � even if his view under the fence was lLnited. "He's the greatest athlete in the world. We're diehards said Carranza. "Yeah, we're lying in the dirt. It's electrifying. He's not even a baseball player, he's a basketball player added Black. Ryan Sherman, 15, decided to miss some school, hoping to get a Jordan autograph on either a copy of the pictorial "Rare Air" or on a baseball he had shoved in his right pocket. Another man held a basket- ball when Jordan zipped past onlookers into the parking lot in his red Corvette. A young girl held up a sign 'Hey Mike, Please Sign Other waded through bushes covering the fence near the team headquarters, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the most popular sports figure in the world. "He's seen the book three times. 1 don'tknow why he hasn't stopped. He stopped for one of my friends Sherman said hope- fully. Jordan did sign last week, a minor league contract with the White Sox's Class AAA affiliate atNashville. And managerGene Lamont said Tuesday that Jor- dan would probably play in the team's March 3 intrasquad game, one day before the exhibition opener.
