According to a public service an- nouncement from the counseling cen- ter, the program will consist of an educational presentation, an anony- mous screening questionnaire and the opportunity for students to discuss their responses with a health care professional. Information will be avail- able at a table in front of the student stores and the screenings will take place in the counseling center, 312 Wright Building. The announcement stated that although the program is directed toward students, any inter- ested person may participate. "The screening day itself is be- ing done at some point this month 1 q on over 600 col- lege campuses across the coun- try said Dr. Sara Shepherd, counselor and NEDSP Site Co- ordinator.

He said he and his roommate like having voice mail.

"Now we're ready to start implementing and doing some things that will really im- pact students One of the first enhancements students can look forward to will be electronic fund transfer from the fi- nancial aid office. Administrators are hoping to have this system in place by next fall. "Students won't have to stand in line to endorse checks and then re- turn a few days later to pick up ex- cess financial aid checks said Rose Mary Stelma, director of the office of financial aid. "They'll only have to appear once - to pick up the excess financial aid checks.

Need Based Grant Team places fifth overall Students travel to Houston for national convention to compete in finals Stephanie Ann Eaton Stsff Wrttw Students in the construction management department represented ECU at a National Association of Home Builders Convention held in Houston, Texas. At the national convention on Jan. 25, these students competed against 17 universities from all over the United States. The students were asked to plan a $114 million construction project The students had to estimate utili- ties, discuss landscaping, financing, where to put in roads and an abundance of other topics. When the competition was over, ECU walked away with two awards. ECU came in fifth place overall in the competition. Arizona State re- ceived first place, Purdue received second place, Brigham Young received third place and the fourth place award was given to the University of North Florida. "I am really proud of the students said ECU's faculty coach, Jim Kennedy. "They did a lot of hard work Kennedy said ECU beat the schools of Texas A&M, University of Florida, Michigan, Illinois State and many other top rated institutions. "These schools had construction programs that had been competing ir� this competition for years Kennedy said. This was ECU's first time competing in this type of competition. Their strong third place showing at the regional conference in Atlanta and their fifth place finish at the national competition helped ECU receive the "Rookie of the Year" award. Kennedy said not only was this a competition, but it also gave the stu- dents who went the opportunity to be exposed to seminars and job fairs. The four seniors who went receded multiple interviews. The six students who represented ECU at the national competition were Dante Berini, Jason Ellington, Chris Edwards, Brian Relay, Mike Zurey and Heather Banks. "This was a great opportunity for students Kennedy said. "I hope that we can go back and compete next year On Nov. 17, ECU placed third at the Associated School of Construction Southeast Region in Atlanta.

NCSU club finds homes for old textbooks When the fall semester ended, many students traded in their text- books for a lot less than they paid for them at local bookstores. The only thing worse than getting next to nothing for your book is finding out that the bookstore does not even want to buy it back, because new editions have been published or the professor has changed books. These books usually end up in the trash or as door stops. But thanks to the Lorax Environmental Club at North Carolina State, unwanted textbooks now can be relocated to a place where they will be appreciated.

UMC Research shows plusminus grading causes little change in G.P.A.s After its first semester, the grade on plusminus grading system at the University of Missouri-Columbia is starting to come in. Some UMC professors believe it is too early to judge the plusminus system. Despite affecting many individual students' grades, plusminus grad- ing had only a minor affect on overall averages, according to the registrar's report on grade distribution from the fall semester. The report showed that the mean grade point average for the fall semester was 2.852, a slight drop from the 2.868 mean grade point aver- age from the fall 1994 semester. Compiled by Wendy Rountree.

CPS - Ever notice that woman sitting next to you in class, the one who does not participate in class dis- cussions, or who tries to talk but is not recognized by the instructor? Her problem may be more than just a case of the nerves. According to University of Cali- fornia-Davis Women's Resources and Research Director Robin Whitmore, many female students' reluctance to speak up in class is a result of years of subtle discrimination. "By the time a female student comes to college, she has experi- enced 12 years in a classroom set- ting she said. "Her behavior be- comes patterned and unconscious Whitmore said that even in classes with mostly female students, men are often given more speaking time proportionally. "Susan a UCD teaching assis tant who preferred t to remain anony- mous, agreed that women do not speak up as much in class as men do. "I see males assuming a right to speak, and I'm concerned about it she said. "Once. I decided to stay out of the class discussion and let the debate go. What hap- pened was that four men were talking about gender and the women's voices were silenced with- out an intermediary Whitmore said the classroom environment � � . may encourage male-dominated participation.

Clearly, there are exceptions to the rule Whitmore said that women's "Classrooms are set up to be more competitive, and men are comfortable with that kind of situation" � Robin Whitmore methods for answering questions differ from those of men. "Women tend to raise their hands while men are more willing to shojt out answers, which means there are more male responses she said. UCD sophomore Tuwanna Pe- ters said that she sees this type of behavior occurring in some of her classes. "Women are more respectful and don't blurt out she said. "Of- ten women will try to speak up, but the teacher will call on guys According to UCD Italian lec- turer Jay Grossi, women speak up as much as men in class.

Over $6 bil- lion in private sector grants and schol- arships available to students. For a process fee ranging from $25 to several hundred dollars, schol- arship search companies guarantee students can be "matched" with sources of funding, often regardless of their grades, income or family in- come. But are scholarship search com- panies effective? Representatives of these compa- nies claim they help thousands of stu- dents every year, but many educators take a dim view of the businesses. "Overall. I think it's a real con- sumer rip-off said Phyllis K. Hooyman, director of financial aid at Hope College in Holland, Mich. "People have to be aware and proceed cautiously Ro i Shunk, director of financial aid at Gettyburg College in Gettyburg, Penn said often students receive no more information than they could find themselves at their school's financial aid office or during a trip to the li- brary.

"These companies make profits by capitalizing on people's laziness Here's how most scholarship search companies work: students pay a fee. and the scholarship search com- pany sends a list of possible scholar- ship sources. At � Student Financial Services, for ex- ample, a phone representative ex- plained that in exchange for a one-time fee of $69.95, students receive informa- tion on how to apply for private- sector scholar- ships. The phone representative said requirements for the scholarships vary. Students are guaranteed their fee back if they don't see a $300 re- turn. "These scholarships are set up tor tax breaks he said, adding that the company is 95 percent successful � Overall, I think it's a real consumer rip-off, � Phyllis K. Hooyman, director of financial aid at Hope College in Holland, Mich. in finding students scholarship money. "Usually the requirements deal with what state you live in and what your major is A New York City Better Business Bureau investigation, however, after contacting more than 30 scholar- ship search firms, revealed only three students re- ported receiving any funds. The bureau also found that most scholar- ship matching companies are ei- ther "licensees" or "information brokers Rather than screen appli- cants, they simply forward the stu- dents' paperwork to a parent com- pany, which sends out the list of po- tential sources to the student. It's up to the student to research and con- tact each organization listed. The New York City Better Busi- ness Bureau issued a consumer alert on bogus scholarship companies in September 1992 and gave 20 schol- arship matching firms operating in the city unsatisfactory ratings. The report noted that some consumers com- plained they did not receive the guar- anteed number of scholarship sources and were unable to obtain refunds. Others claim they didn't qualify be- cause the sources did not match the information on the student's profile. Still others stated they received infor- mation after the application deadlines had passed. As a result, they were unable to apply to even one source. Chris Vaughn, director of finan- cial aid at Mansfield University in Mansfield. Penn said while it is pos- sible to have success by using these companies, students are better off going through all the traditional av- enues first. Many scholarships have strict requirements - from grade av- erages to residency - that would elimi- nate many students foi .n qualifying.

Evans St Pittman Building Greenville, NC 757-0003 Hours: Monday - Friday 8:00-4:00 Teen convicted of murder Tired of Waiting For Cool (AP) - Three young men were convicted of murder and a fourth was found guilty of voluntary manslaugh- ter Monday in the slaying of a teen- ager who was beaten with baseball bats on the steps of his church in Philadelphia. Two other teen-agers were con- victed of conspiracy in the attack on 16-year-old Eddie Polec. Polec, who was from Philadelphia's Fox Chase section, was attacked by teen-agers from a rival high school in 1994 to avenge insults and get even for a reported assault on a girl from their suburban com- munity of Abington. The girl later acknowledged she was never assaulted. The ferocity of attack stunned residents of both neighborhoods and exposed problems with Philadelphia's police dispatch system. Seven 911 operators were disciplined after tran- scripts showed that some of them grew impatient and didn't send po- lice until about 40 minutes after the first of many calls. " Parents sobbed as the jury con- victed three of the defendants - Nick Pinero, 18; Anthony Rienzi. 18; and Thomas Crook, 19 - of third-degree murder, rather than first-degree mur- der, as prosecutors had sought. According to witnesses, all three wielded the bats that left Polec lying on the steps of St. Cecilia's Church in Philadelphia, bleeding from seven skull fractures. The jury convicted Dewan Alexander, 18, of voluntary man- slaughter. Witnesses said he kicked Polec. Bou Khathavong, 18, and Carlo Johnson, 20, - two defendants who no witnesses said beat Polec - were cleared of all homicide charges. All six were convicted of con- spiracy. Prosecutors said Reinzi held Polec up after he had already been injured, giving Crook and Pinero clean shots at the teen's head. Reinzi also was accused of taking a "golf swing" at Polec's head. Johnson was accused of supply- ing the bats, while Khathavong was identified as the organizer of the at- tack. Prosecutors relied on the testi- mony of youths at the scene, particu- larly Kevin Convey, who was origi- nally charged with first-degree mur- der but pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and testified against his friends. Defense attorneys said that teen- agers were lying to avoid implicating themselves and their closer friends, and noted that Convey named at least five other youths who beat Polec but who were never charged.

College Democrats president Matt Stuart said he hopes to bring candidates of various political races to campus for similar sessions. Stuart noted that there used to be a College Republicans organization on campus, but it is no longer active. In a telephone interview, Repub- lican incumbent Dr. Henry Aldridge addressed several questions concern- ing campus issues. "ECU is my school he said. "I'm proud of it and have done a lot to support it Citing the Model Clinical Teach- ing Program as his most important achievement, Aldridge said, "Without my support for this excellent program, it would never have been funded be- cause, of all the budget restrictions this year Concerning the university bud- get cuts, he said it was important for students to realize that the monies cut were from increases that had been requested for next year and not from money already appropriated.

Aldridge commented on the controversy surrounding his state- ments that abortions need not be funded Lr rape cases because real rape victims couldn't get pregnant. "I believe they have been ex- plained and accepted by the voters of my district Aldridge said. "I never intended to demean women or show any lack of understanding of the trauma associated with violence and rape. I continue to oppose the taking of a human life through abortion and certainly oppose the use of taxpayer money to fund abortions The Daily Reflector reported that Aldridge advocated budget cuts at ECU because of advertisements for condom ads that ran in TEC. I find it very difficult to be sym- pathetic toward the requests of a uni- versity that condones this type of publication under its umbrella Aldridge said in the Greenville paper. In response, Aldridge said that he found the ads to be extremely offen- sive and "it hurt to see the ads associ- ated with such a fine university "I get into trouble sometimes because when asked a question, I say what I think without worrying about how it's going to sound on the news Aldridge said I have to get better at that Aldridge said he has been instru- mental in passing a parental consent law, cutting the state abortion fund from $1.2 million to $50,000, creat- ing the "no frills" prison and limiting government growth.

"It's just personality he said. "Some people are less inclined to at- tract attention to themselves he said. Lurie added that he did not no- tice whether men spoke more than women in class, but that instructors tend to call on some students more than others. "It always seems to be the same people who talk in class he said. "In most classes, the same people speak up, and of those, at least half EATING from page 1 are women. Instructors can help to create discussions in which there is equal gender representation, according to Whitmore. "Teachers should make it clear that students reply to questions by raising their hands she said. "Give more positive feedback to students and make sure to use inclusive lan- guage and examples that aren't gen- der-biased Susan said that she pays careful attention to people who are less likely to participate. "I ask to hear from people who haven't said anything yet in class she said. "I think teachers should work on trying to create an environ- ment in which people feel safe ex- pressing their opinions Susan said female students need to assert themselves more in class. "Set up your own boundaries and agree to discuss issues, but not to be attacked she said. "It's a brave act to get your voice out there, but at the same time it's really important, because you're representing all women Peters said she advises students to participate and get all they can out of class. "Try to be more open and more assertive so you can be as educated and well-trained as possible - get more for what you're paying for she said. Whitmore said male students should also be aware of any class- room discrimination. "When women don't talk men also lose, because they don't benefit from another way of thinking she said. "Men as well as women should observe the classroom setting and approach the instructor with prob- lems Susan noted that class discus- sions should not exclude any perspec- tives. "If I don't say that I have a dif- ferent viewpoint, we may be overlook- ing something very important she said. "It goes beyond the classroom. It's about voices heard in society FIBER from page 1 financial aid should also become a lot easier. "It looks like we'll be receiving financial aid applications for 1996-97 in an electronic manner, which could possibly mean that there will be less of a delay between the time a student applies for financial aid and when the application data appears on the ECU student database The student database, along with several other options will soon be available to students through the Internet and kiosk (information) ma- chines that programmers in CIS are currently working on. The machines have touch screens and with the aid of an identification card, will allow students to access their financial aid status, class schedule, grades and many other services, Price said. CIS has three machines which will be spread across campus. Price said CIS built extra space into the network, but that demand for connections has been so great that the department has almost run out of space. CIS continues to hook depart- ments into the network, and is plan- ning to help design a video surveillance system for ECU Police to monitor a few parking lots across campus. CIS employees' hard work paid off recently, when they took first place in the Consulting Engineers of North Carolina '95 "Engineering Excel- lence Competition" for design. "We've got u very technologically advanced design said Thorn Lamb, associate director of systems and com- munication for CIS. "I think the award was really a combination of the stress or when we've had a death in the family disordered eating, when taken to an extreme, can lead to an eating disorder Shepherd said. Shepherd said the timing of the screening program is ideal because this time of year is when many stu- dents may experience disordered eat- ing as they try to lose weight in prepa- ration for spring break. Part of the goal of the screening program is to provide some education and early identification in an effort to prevent such disordered eating from becoming a serious eating dis- order, Shepherd said. According to the counseling center's brochure on eating disorders, 90 percent of sufferers are female. Shepherd said however, men cannot be overlooked. She said that male ath- letes in some individualized sports including gymnastics, weight lifting, running and swimming are at a higher risk of developing an eating disorder. Shepherd also said that men are more likely to have the binge eating disor- der over anorexia nervosa or bulimia. Others at a higher risk for devel- opment include frequent dieters, those with a family history of obesity and those with a family history of alcohol fact that we did it with a limited bud- get in a state system in a very short period of time, and still managed to pull off the technical side of it" Lamb said several factors were used to judge the competition includ- ing budget timing, technical complex- ity and innovative uses of the system. A voice response system is another area the administration has started talking about "We've also talked with Telecom- munications about the possibility of having some options on our telephone system Stelma said. "One option would allow students to request finan- cial aid application forms, another op- tion would allow students to listen to general information about the finan- cial aid application process. We want to limit the options so people don't have to wade through a maze to get to a real person Registration may also see an over- haul in years to come.

Treatment for an eating disorder largely depends upon the individual's needs. Shepherd said that treatment most often consists of a combination of individual counseling, nutritional counseling, group therapy, a physical evaluation and in some cases, medi- cation. Shepherd said that she wants people to encourage their friends who have eating disorders to come to the screening and get help. If not the per- son with the disorder then the friend should come to the screening and at- tend the information session, in which written information will be provided that describes how to approach a friend about his or her problem and how to help the person get help. Shepherd said the screenings will consist of several stages, including the information session. She said partici- pation in the entire program will take from 45 minutes to an hour, but par- ticipants are free to participate in as much or as little of the program as they wish. Funding for the network came from a variety of sources. "We sold tax exempt bonds to fi- nance the over a 10-year term said Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Richard Brown. "The bonds will be repaid from state appropriations, dor- mitory charges and student fees that are already in place The video capabilities in the sys- tem are numerous. We're using some of it in a lim- ited fashion now, but the capabilities are there for up to 80 channels to be broadcast anywhere on campus Lamb said. "I think it's 16 that we can feed off campus and that's more of a limita- tion of what the cable company can take from us. "As far as the interactive video and sessions between different buildings on campus, that's a 16 by 16 matrix. I could have 16 different people in 16 different locations all talking to each other Equipment for actual broadcast however, is not adequate for 16 loca- tions. "The actual studio equipment the cameras, the lights and all were not a part of this project its just a matter of supply catching up with demand Lamb said.

Carolinian is NOW seeking deliver our Thursday until- Li required! Good pay $7 an hour Tuesday, February 6,1995 The East Carolinian 4 Our View February is a time to reflect on a part of American culture that has pushed us to succeed. Think of February and what comes to mind? Sweet romance, candy, flowers and, oh yeah, it's a leap year too. February is also Black History month. It's a time to reflect on the African history of our culture. But these reflections may not be so easy to come by when we consider that the vast majority of Black history has been writ- ten by Europeans and other non-Africans, and what we've been taught in school may present skewed images of reality. Luckily, America's society is opening its eyes, and the Afri- can American culture is becoming more available to those who seek it Groups such as Aliied Blacks for Leadership and Equal- ity (ABLE), the opening of the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center last fall and the office of minority affairs provide opportunities for every ECU student to learn more about their own and other students' cultures. According to Dr. Brian Haynes, director of minority affairs at ECU, Black History Week was introduced by Carter G. Woodson, also known as the father of negro history, in 1926. This week was established in response to the segregation preva- lent in America at the time. Woodson chose the month of Feb- ruary because it is the birth month of historical figures Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, signer of the Emancipation Proc- lamation. Black History Week progressively evolved into Black His- tory month in the late '60s, Haynes said. When we think of prominent African American role mod- els, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X may come to mind. But did you know that street lights, golf tees and even ice cream were invented by African Americans? Considering the fact that Africans were in America before Europeans, it may be time to learn about a culture long forgot- ten or disregarded in the first half of this century. Our celebra- tion of African culture will last throughout the month and sev- eral activities are planned to bring awareness throughout the ECU community. The Ledonia Wright African American Cultural Center is sponsoring at least six events, many of them free-of-charge. Through these sessions, male and female students can learn about self-love and relationships, focusing on the past to learn about tne present And on Feb. 25, Clifton Davis will present "God's Trombones For more information about how you can get involved, pick up the phone and call the Ledonia Wright Center at 328-1680. Ladies chow down Ft has taken me almost an entire year to get up enough raw guts to write this article. My life may be at stake simply attempting to get these words out into the general public. I am writing with the fear of a secret agent undercover. Dare I use the wrong words or speak in the wrong way, it could be curtains for me so remember that I write for the good of the campus. I'm not sure who this is for, if not for my own pleasure, but I want to make it clear that the female race is my favorite race on people of this earth. Girls are cool and guys are stu- pid and inconsiderate. There, I said it so; that you can't . P.M.S is the sole reason for the troubles of the world. Just kidding, I just wanted to write it one time be- cause most of you would be expect- ing it by now. P.M.S is a phenomenon that we men only hear about Yes, it is often the reason for unanswerable ques- tions that we men have, but it is not always the cause. It is, however the source of one of the most feared sick- nesses that takes over the women that we so dearly love and respect It is the reason for creature cravings. These insane binges for food are present in women all over campus, let alone in the world. For the purposes of this article, the women of the sixth floor of Green hall were kind enough to share with me the most common foods that satisfy them in this situa- tion as well as others. Let me first paint a picture. It's 10:45 on a Thursday night and Mindy (not a real person so don't think that it's you) is pacing around her room Patrick Ware Opinion Columnist These insane binges for food are present in women all over campus, let alone in the World. wincing and complaining about any- thing that crosses her mind. All of a sudden a picture pops into her head. The refrigerator, surrounded by a glowing light, hovers over a cloud in a vision that she has just seen. Quickly, she rushes to it and reaches for the first and, according to my most valuable and wonderful source, most important source of satisfaction - chocolate. An un-named source said that "chocolate and P.M.S. go hand-in-hand because chocolate satisfies another important craving , After chowing down on a bag of Hershey Kisses that Mindy kept in the fridge, she reached again into the depths and pulled out a can of peaches which she proceeded to eat with melted marshmailows on top. I know, you're saying, "I know somebody that lives in that dorm. Do they do these things?" I'll tell you right now that it is not just that dorm. Next, with the knowledge that the peach and marshmallow smores 2�a did not do the job, she climbed over the table behind her to grab a giant jar of peanut butter which she eats on the end of oourdough pretzels. As sne scoops out the peanut butter, she spies out of the corner of her eye, a family size bottle of ranch dressing in the doer of the refrigerator. Climbing back over the table, she shoves a two day old plate of French fries into the microwave for two minutes and pulls them out only to drown them in a molten pouring of dressing. At this point the average person might think about stopping, but not this one because she has been taken over and is being controlled. Finishing off even the Styrofoam plate which held only a dribble,of dressing, she pours an entire gallon of milk into the sink, careful to plug up the hole at the bottom and emp- ties a box of fruity pebbles into it A ladle provides the necessary tool for this craving, and she is almost satis- fied when she trips over a pile of pizza coupons sitting on the floor in a two foot pile. She orders a pizza that she will eat after she goes through all-of the normal craving foods like popcorn, donuts, French onion dip and potato chips and finally, ice cream. It is almost three o'clock in the morning when Mindy decides that the hole in her stomach has been appeased. She shuts the door to the fridge whigh was the only light source in the entire room. It is now dark. It is the opinion of this writer that if women have to have P.M.S then they deserve a little midnight chomping. So chow down and don't let a silly little man tell you that you're strange. Well ladies, thumbs up?

Patrick Hlnson, Copy Editor Rhonda Crumnton, Copy Editor Paul D. Wright, Media Adviser Janet Respess, Media Accountant Deborah Daniel, Secretary Violence hits everyone Move over Al Capone, here come some really sinister and nasty people! I couldn't help but read this amazing article in Newsweek about an upstart gang that's controlled by its cult-like leader who, ironically enough is sitting in a Chicago jail cell. It almost sounds like another David Koresh-Timothj McVeigh story, with a few plot twists. However, the thing that caught my attention was the violence that this mythical cultgang had administered to those people that got in its way. baseball bat beatings characterized by making the transgressor look like a "pumpkin head after the group had finished its business. Sometimes the punishments were worse. Not only that but the leader of this regime, the Gangster Disciples, are in jail and have supposedly been there for 22 years, convicted of murder. It is really appalling to find out that this murderer and cult leader he been able to coerce minds and make inner-city youth and aduits carry out his orders as the supreme being. A false deity, who's behind Illinois State Penitentiary bars, that no one has ever met can control the drug trade and mastermind the killings of those people in the CD's way. What kind of Eric Bartels Opinion Columnist person are we dealing with? His name is not Adolph Hitler, but it's very close. Larry Hoover is the kingpin of all kingpins in Chicago, very similar to his predecessor who roamed the Chicago streets using thuggery as a means of getting his way. Now you find his heir apparently looking to control Chicago once again. Wrong. Not so though, considering the IRS's findings of a Chicago concert promoters' financial files. This search came up with resoundingly good in- formation for the feds in the cracking down of one of the biggest mid-west- ernChicago drug cartels and more importantly, super gangs. Not since the Crips and the Bloods have we seen this much press. It's really a terrible thing consid- ering the fact that this gang has more of a mythical and cult-like presence in the Chicago area and in approxi- mately 35 states with more than roughly 50,000 members roaming around. One good thing about the government's findings is that some CD members and their devious leader, now supposedly reformed, will stand trial for drug conspiracy this week. Isn't it nice to find that our govern ment has ways of destroying these evil gangs that only make our world an often wretched place to live. As this trial goes to court maybe we will see some justice done. But if not, don't cross the leaders of the movement because you may end up like Charles "Big Chuck" Dorsey, who took over gang operations back in August "Dorsey did not follow orders and assumed he was higher than Hoover, but that's treason said Chi- cago police commander Donald Hilbring, "apparently punishable by death Letters to the Editor To the Editor, Americans love their sports. Ev- ery year millions of people set them- selves in front of the TV to watch their favorite sports: the Monday night football, professional basketball, and the baseball league. People dress up in their favorite team's colors, fly their flags, and cheer loudly for their fa- vorite players. In American society, sport has somewhat reached the po- sition of religion. It is "the opium of the masses Sport has its own ideol- ogy, values, norms, hierarchy, and the ways of worshipping its Gods. Because United States is sic a highly capitalized society, so are its institutions organized like commercial enterprises. The goal being to make business as profitable as possible. In modem world sport is a profitable en- tertainment business in Which the heroes and heroines of sport are the stars of the show and so treated as celebrities. They are admired and emulated, glorified and identified with. I appreciate a good, skilled sport performance like I would appreciate a delicious dinner with candle lights, and good company. Being an athlete all my life and competing in interna- tional level (sic) for some years, I know what it takes to get there. You have to work harder than anybody else, be ready to sacrifice and not to give up when the first headwind drags you down. But that is the case in every- thing in life when you are aiming to the top sic. And yes, I agree it felt great when I succeeded in a race and people came up to me and told me they admire what I do. But it never was because of these people that I got up every morning during the winter to go for my one and a half hour run or two hour cross-country skiing in freezing temperatures. I did it because there was something so important for me in that short moment of solitude that 1 couldn't found sic anywhere else in my life at that time. The way sports are delivered and consumed in a society depends exclu- sively on that particular culture. Most Americans love spectator sports over others and that requires big crowds. But look at Africans, for example, they are the best middle and long distance runners in the world but the only crowd in the jungle to cheer them on are the camels and zebras. For Afri- cans sports is sic not dependent on the fans but on their own determina- tion. In American society (and in many other western societies) sport is what it is because of the media. These two institutions live in a highly symbiotic relationship in which without the one there won't be the other. Media, be- ing the delivery system, is therefore widely responsible for the way sports are seen and interpreted by the audi- ence. There is a growing concern among lot sic of people, however, that today's sports doesn't sic pro- vide healthy role models for kids. Ath- letes who get caught beating their wives, trashing bars, insulting refer- ees or having problems with drugs are hardly worth admiring, let alone iden- tifying with. Of course, these are only some extreme cases, and there are also lot sic of "true" sport heroes out there who are responsible and who care about their behavior in and out- side the court. The point here is, how- ever, that these athletes, although they may be the best in the world in their sport are just people like you and me. They are not invincible or untouchable. They can also fall like you and me and they should be held responsible for their actions like you and me, which often is not the case. People, and especially the media has sic the tendency to put the athletes on pedestal sic and treat them as "larger than life" figures, human em- bodiments of Gods on earth. Athletes are unique like every individual but they are in no sense special. Tomorrow there will be a new hero, and the next day Sport hero as sic its best can help people in the process of socialization by displaying the values, norms, attitudes, and ap- proved forms of behavior prevalent in the society. As sic its worst, sport shows the selfishness, immaturity, anti-intellectualism, and incapability to pursue equal opportunities for ev- erybody. Modern spectator sports, no matter how fun it is to watch, is sic still just a game. A great show, which, to put it crudely, doesn't produce any- thing without which we couldn't live if we had to.

"I grew up on the nicest block in the ghetto and was bused to a white school in Brooklyn Rock said. At the tender age of 18, Rock was performing at New York's Comedy Strip. Rock's performance was sup- posed to be the final headlining act but at the request of Eddie Murphy, it was pushed up to earlier in the evening. Murphy wanted to see the young comic, and after the show, Rock was invited to perform with Murphy on his HBO special, "Uptown Comedy Express "I started out in white comedy dubs. There weren't any black ones, so I think that's helped me to appeal to both blacks and whites explained Rock in a recent phone interview. Since that initial break, Rock has enjoyed exponential success in the cut-throat world of stand-up comedy. But Rock considers the turning point of his career to be his tenure as a rep- ertory cast member of "Saturday Night Live creating such memorable characters as militant black talk show host Nat X, of the "The Dark Side with NatX Saturday Night Live' was com- edy college Rock said.

For example, I was recently looking r something to watch with my friends when it hit me. 1 had never seen a Russ Meyer film. Innocently, I asked one of my buddies what Meyer is known for as a director. He laughed and casually walked over to the "adult" section of the store, where he picked up Meyer's 1966 classic, Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill! When I saw the cover of the video box, I knew what Meyer was known for. big-breasted women. It was a night with the guys, so why not? Faster Pussycat follows the ex- ploits of three hotrod women who drive fast, talk trash and kick ass. When the film opens, our three hel- lions on wheels race through the desert just for kicks. Led by the darkly seductive Tura Satana, our little dar- lings eventually murder a man with poor fashion taste and kidnap his Gidget-like girlfriend. Why did they do it? Well, because it's just what these women do. They do what they want to who they want No apologies. Meyer wastes no time with bor- ing stuff like exposition or character background. No sir. He jumps right into the game and sets up what seems to be a fugitive film. You know, the kind of movie where the murderers run away with a kidnapped victim. Well, he kind of does that, but somewhere along the way our hero- ines find out about an old, crippled man (listed in the credits as "The Old Man") who is rumored to have a lot of money stashed away. You need money if you're going to run off with a kidnapped victim, so our healthy trio go to the man's farm. From here, the film just becomes a little bizarre. We are introduced to the crippled old man (who seems to have some sort of tragic past with trains); his hulking hunk of a son, See TRASH page 9 M CD.

Here I was, thinking you were the king of melancholic con- templation and you turn out one of the most joyful records you've ever done. I had forgotten Van could be so upbeat. Even the most professional crooners - Sinatra. Bennett, Cole, Crosby - would have a hard time recording an album in a single day, especially one that resonates with as much emotional clarity as this. But that's exactly what Van Morrison did when he got together at Ronnie Scott's London jazz club with some of his close friends on the third day of May, 1995. We were in finals and Van was swinging. Among those present at this live jam were longtime Morrison bandmates Georgie Fame (organ) and Pee Wee Ellis (saxophone), who have about as much renown in the blues, jazz and soul scene as Morrison does as a singer songwriter. From arrangements to solos to scats, their effect on this record is felt across the board. Morrison covers many of the artists who influenced him in the early days: Mose Allison ("Your Mind is on Vacation" and "Don't Worry About a Thing"), Louis Jordan ("Early in the Morning"), George & Ira Gershwin ("How Long Has This Been Going On?"), and Cannonball Adderly ("Sack o' Woe"). Only a few original Morrison tunes turn up here ("All Saint's Day "Heathrow Shuffle "I Will Be There" and "Moondance"). Although many of these tracks are wonderful reinterpretations, es- pecially "Early in the Morning" and "Don't Worry About a Thing the standout track is the seven minute plus version of Van's own hit, "Moondance Not merely a cover, this is a major reworking.

Take it as you will. Mark Brett Lifestyle Editor A great man died recently. He wasn't a general, or a politi- cian, or even a famous movie star. In fact I'd be willing to bet that most of my audience has never even heard of him. But that doesn't make Jerry Siegel any less great. Why? Because, while you may not know the man, you most certainly know his work. You know the legacy he left America. It's a heroic legacy, one that has become synonymous with America's highest ideals. But you still don't know what I'm talk- ing about. Does this ring any bells? Look! Up in the sky! How about this? Truth, justice and the American way. That's right, Jerry Siegel was the creator of Superman. In 1938, he and artist Joe Shuster (who died himself a few years back) brought Superman to life in the pages of Action Comics. The release of that comic book was a galvanizing moment in American history; its import is still being felt today. Superman's impact on the American comic book industry, for example, is staggering. Within a year of his debut Su- perman comics were selling in the millions, and he had spawned a host of imitators. The entire comics publishing indus- try is built on a foundation laid down by the Man of Steel. De- cades of colorful superhero ad- ventures have been published, and every one of them is a Su- perman story at the core. With- out Siegel, Shuster and Super- man, comic books probably wouldn't exist today. But the existence of the American comic book industry isn't what makes Siegel a great man. Sure, comics are neat, and to fans like myself they mean a lot Siegel is a hero to me. But all of America lost some- thing when Jerry Siegel died, whether you like comic books or not. Superman is an important figure in American popular cul- ture. While he certainly wasn't the first larger than life hero fig- ure, he was definitely the larg- est. Other heroes were crack shots or good fighters. Super- man could pick cars up over his head! Bullets just bounced off his chest! He could leap over tall buildings in a single bound! Evil didn't stand a chance. America needed a hero like that in 1938. We were still stag- gering from the Great Depres- sion, and Nazi aggression in See DROP page 9 . �� � �- . in ft- 8 Tuesday, February 6,1996 The East Carolinian Photos illustrate Nazi rise to power LONDON (AP) - A huge collec- tion of high-quality photographs taken in Germany in the 1930s has emerged in London after being stored in a Dutch barn for more than half a century. The photos depict everyday life before and after the coming to power of dictator Adolf Hitler in 1933. They reflect the speedy transition from the tolerance of the Weimar Republic to the tension of the Nazi era. Scenes of children playing in sunny meadows and frolicking young lovers, as well as the hard times when over 5 million people were unem- ployed, gave way to images of young aviators, marches and parades. There are uniforms, loudspeakers on street corners, construction of the Autobahn and portraits personifying Hitler's ideal of the Aryan race. Within four months after Hitler is made chancellor, a patriotic farmer near Munich scattered chicken feed in the shape of a gigantic swastika, the Nazi emblem. The camera clicked as the flock of white birds spreads out to peck at the corn. Within a year, a photographer snapped a ballerina performing be- fore a selection board which includes a man in Nazi party uniform. Other photos express the Ger- man interest in work and technology: nuns use the telephone, brew beer, mill grain and operate an X-ray ma- chine; workers put on waders and descend into the massive Berlin sew- ers through which they can walk up- right, go by boat and even ride bi- cycles. Some 150 of the photos were on show at the Royal Festival Hall and have transferred to the Royal Photo- graphic Society in Bath. The photos formed the stock of the Klinsky picture agency set up in Amsterdam about 1930 to distribute pictures from Berlin agencies to the Dutch press. It ceased activity at the end of World War II. The stock was bought from a Dutch dealer by Timothy Prus, cura- tor of the Archive of Modern Con- flict in London, a privately owned col- lection of 200,000 images of military and social affairs from the 1880s to 1990, mostly amateur photos, films and snapshot albums, as well as pro- fessional material. Prus travels the world looking for such photos and said the stock was in good condition, having been sealed in boxes and stored in a dry barn in Dordrecht near Amsterdam since 1945. "There is still a lot to find out about it. We don't even know Klinsky's first name or whether that was his real name Prus said in an interview. "The Klinsky stock contains 27,580 photos. I know because I counted every one said Ian Jeffrey, a free-lance art historian who orga- nized the exhibition. He began work on it when London's South Bank Center arts complex asked him to curate a photo show of the dictator era in Germany, Italy and Russia as part of its "Art and Power" exhibition on the same theme at its Hayward Gallery. The photo project was canceled when funds ran out, but as Jeffrey had com- pleted the German part, that was mounted separately at the center's neighboring Royal Festival Hall. The Klinsky stock contains 700 to 800 photos taken by the late Alfred Eisenstaedt, who worked in Berlin and who left Germany in 1934. He later became famous in the United States working for Life magazine. Eric Borchert, who worked for the same agency as Eisenstaedt and later became a war photographer with the German army, specialized in pho- tos of workers and peasant life. The exhibition includes two se- VAjN from page 7 change Morrison bests himself here on what many consider to be his best ballad. This is a jazz album. In fact, it's so jazzy that Morrison felt the need to have it released under the legend- ary jazz label Verve, rather than his usual Poiydor (although both labels are owned by Polygram). And it be- longs on Verve, for this album is a throwback to the halcyon days of jazz. I'm surprised that this record REASON N O.

The first time he pictured veter- ans who had shared trench-fighting experiences with the Germans in World War I, and who said French and Germans should be friends in future. On his second visit, Borchert's stance had changed. He emphasized the decrepit and unhygienic side of Paris, and depicted whites and blacks together, something that Hitler scorned. Other photographers repre- sented, well known in their day. are Walter S essmann, Use Steinhoff, Willi Ruge and Fritz Eschen. Jeffrey said little if any informa- tion has come his way about photog- raphers known only from their names on the photos: Eisenhart, Lueders, Eva Besnjoe, Blumenschein, Homan, Hellman, Moebius and P. Roth. "The archive is a great survival. Time after time, we see collections like it only appreciated years later, some- times too late, when they have been dispersed or even thrown away he added. Jeffrey said there are few action photos in the archive because it must have been difficult and dangerous to get close to the Nazi leaders and to special events for photographers who weren't specifically accredited to them. "So these cameramen took their pictures on the periphery. If you don't see Hitler speaking in a beer cellar, you do see the rank and file, and that way you see ordinary Germans he said. All the photos are in black and white, and Jeffrey feels that medium makes even commonplace events look dramatic. "German Photographs of the 1930s" appeared at the Royal Festi- val Hall, and will run through March 31 at the Royal Photographic Society in Bath. was recorded in the '90s. Many modern jazz artists could learn a thing or two from the en- ergy and vitality that Morrison pre- sents here, for it shows how jazz can be loose, free and happy. Not every jazz album has to be a effort of ex- alted, sincere artistic vision. Some- times having fun with music can be just as earnest and poetic. Even Coltrane and Miles were happy sometimes.

TOY from page 7 the festival's parade with corroded paint Marching band members - and their uniforms and instruments - got spritzed. Two motorcycle cops, bombarded by a neon-colored fusillade, nearly ran off the road. Some residents say they fear that some of the festival's hundreds of visi- tors might not come back. "This isn't like firearms, which have certain constitutional protections said David Kelley, the town attorney. "There is absolutely no constitutional right for something like this The no-string contingent claims broad support and says it's natural to ban what amounts to training-wheels for spray-painting vandals. But it's difficult to find anyone on Southington's streets who doesn't think the law, and the taxpayer time spent prattling about it, is sillier than the string "If they were walking around dumping cups of water on people, would they ban water? It's ridiculous said Kevin Brunetti, who owns a comic book store just off the square. "If they can't handle this, how are they supposed to deal with real crimes?" "We're paying for town services and these guys are arguing about Silly String?" said Doug Charamut, shopping at a toy store with his wife and four young children. The original ordinance would have made Silly String a controlled substance anywhere in town. That posed certain problems, such as how to handle truck- loads of canned string passing through on Interstate 84. "There could be a black market be- fore you know it said a disgusted Brendan Duff, 18. "You'll have people on the street whispering, 'I got the stuff The council ordered Kelley to re- work the law for a Feb. 12 vote. Now, as written, it bars canned string and smoke bombs from all public areas and on days of carnivals or parades. On other days, Kelley says, it "probably" wouldn't be illegal. And the law authorizes Southington's 58 officers to "take any and all actions reasonable and neces- sary' to ferret out Silly String includ- ing searching stores. All of this is quite preposterous to Bob D'Agostino, whose Waterbury dis- tributorship wholesales the product to Southington and much of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York. D'Agostino unloads 30,000 cans each year under the brand name Fun String many to vendors at the Apple Harvest Festival, and he's adamant- String doesn't spray people - people spray people. "Americans don't take responsibil- ity for anything anymore D'Agostino said. "If kids aren't disciplined by par- ents to know you're not supposed to squirt someone driving a motorcycle, it's not the product's fault" To be sure, the ordinance has its supporters. Ardelle Pelletier, who be- longs to a local beautification associa- tion, came home from the parade with sprayed shoes and pants. She backs the ban and says her friends do, too. "Its an invasion of space she said. "We take pride here in keeping things clean TRASH from page 7 Vegetable (who is about as smart as a potato chip); and the old man's older son (who is lucky enough to roll around in the hay with Ms. Satana). The film paces itself as if it re- ally doesn't know where it's going, but that doesn't matter. The story fills itself with enough eccentric moments and snappy dialogue to keep its audience awake. We get to see Satana and her tiery female friends shower in the open desert (no frontal nudity, though; this is a family film). We get to watch Vegetable impress one of our heroines by lifting weights with- out his shirt We get to watch a wa- tery cat fight We get to watch Satana bitch slap just about everyone in the film. But most importantly, we get to see Russ Meyer's brilliant casting work its wonders in V-cut shirts and painted-on jeans. This is not the most PC film you're ever going to see. You either get the joke and run with it, or you're just going to hate everything it rep- resents. Since it was my night out with the guys, I figured what the hell. I'm taking the film for what it is. Faster Pussycat (as if the title doesn't give it away) is a trashy good time. Sometimes you need a break from those "artsy" films that have a purpose and a message and good act- ing and all that stuff. Sometimes you just want to see a bunch of crazy, big-breasted women drive their muscle cars over old, crippled men as they steal all the cash they can get their hands on. They just don't make movies like this anymore. There's good reason to rush out and rent Russ Meyer's classic now. Since 1996 marks the 30th anniver- sary of Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill can a prestige-format, widescreen director's cut be hovering somewhere along the desert horizon? Or how about a big-budget remake from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez? One could only pray for such a miracle. On a scale of one to 10, Russ Meyer's politically incorrect actioner rates a fun-filled eight UiVVJr from page 7 Europe was beginning to divide the country. People were frightened, and into that cultural landscape came Su- perman. Sure he was just a fictional character, but when you've got a guy on your team who can change the course of mighty rivers and bend steel in his bare hands, it's a little bit easier to face the day. Even if he's just imaginary. Plus, like a great deal of the American population at the time, he was an immigrant. Supermnn may have been a strange visitor from an- other planet, but he was a success, the American Dream made flesh. And not only that, he embraced American ideals and made them his own. Superman was a straight shooter, a stand-up guy, just an all- around good joe. He loved his mom and saved kittens from trees and gave everybody an even break. He pro- tected his adopted society from the criminal element and never asked for a reward. He got all the money he wanted from just being mild-man- nered Clark Kent, a working stiff with a white-collar job and dreams of mar- riage to his beautiful co-worker, Lois Lane. All this, despite the staggering power at his disposal. Superman could have been the world's greatest criminal, or an iron-fisted despot that no one dared defy. He could have been a god. But none of that even crossed his mind. He was just that damned good. Truth, justice and the Ameri- MARK A.

That's a powerful cultural mes- sage to be wrapped up in a garish red and blue body suit, but there it is. Siegel and Shuster couldn't have been aware of all that back in 1938; they were just two Jewish kids who wanted to make a living doing comic books. But they did it anyway. Few fictional characters have been around as long as Superman. He's been in continuous publication since '38, and new adventures are being cranked out even as we speak. He's been popular on television and in the movies, and all the while he's stood for the same good stuff. He must speak to something in our cul- tural psyche. Superman represents America's highest ideals. While we may find him hokey at times, or even a touch au- thoritarian, he still stands on moral ground that most of us aspire to. Even cynics like me. So when Jerry Siegel died last month, we didn't just lose some old comic book writer. We lost a man who gave America an important part of its cultural heritage. We lost some- one who let us remember how great this country is supposed to be. If that doesn't make him great, I don't know what would. Goodbye, Mr. Siegel. We barely knew you. More's the shame. 25 OFF Computer Books for the entire month off February Student Stores Ronald E Dowdy Wright Building 398-6731 Sale emb February 2V. 19V6.

"After that, that was probably the only highlight of the day for us The Pirates quickly jumped out 89-73 loss to American. Saturday's game was the first home loss for the Pirates this season and their second loss to Ameri- can this year.

ECU held on to the lead until 9:53 when the Eagles' Duane Gilliam hit a jumper to give American a 12- 13 lead. From that point on, for the duration of the game, ECU would never re- gain the lead. The Pirates ended the half with a Vic Hamilton jumper that would send ECU into the locker room down by 11 points, 23-34. ECU did not shoot very well from the field, where they only hit 9 of 24 shots for 37 percent in the first half. From the three point arc, the Pi- rates shot 33 per- cent hitting 3 of 9 shots.

Almost all of them return in 1996, and partnered with a tal- ented freshman class, Justice is looking to improve on last season's second-place CAA finish. "We're fairly experienced this season, and we've added some good freshmen he said. "They know what we've got to do already, so it's just an extension of what we've done before Three team members know al- ready that actions speak louder than words. Senior Carla Powell (55-meter sprints: 7.22), sophomore Saundra Teel (55-meter hurdles: 8.31) and junior Amanda Johnson (long jump: 19'07") have already posted ECAC qualifying times during the Lady Pi- rates' first three meets. Teel was the Lady Pirates' 1995 Outstanding Freshman, and holds school records in the long jump and 100- meter high hurdles. She placed in three events at the CAA championships last season and advanced to the semifinals of the 1995 ECAC 55-meter high hurdles. Johnson placed 15th in the NCAA long jump a season ago, and holds the ECU record as well. She will also run the an- chor leg of both he Lady Pirates' 4x100 and 4x200-meter relays in '96. "I told the team that if they take care of their individual perfor- mances, that we'll do well as a team Justice said.

How- ever, that wasn't the case for the Lady Pirate basketball team. True, a loss hurts, but Wednesday's game against UNC- Charlotte was a non-conference battle. The 49er's got off to a 0-6 lead over the Lady Pirates. Tomekia Blackmon was the first to score for ECU, after she made a jump shot with 16:45 to go. UNC-Charlotte had a lot of height in the paint; therefore, they were able to get a lot of easy shots down low. ECU an- swered with some shots down low themselves, but a majority of their first half shots were jump shots. The 49er's largest lead in the first half was 11 points, after a Lisa Gerton three pointer. ECU an- swered with a three of their own by Justine Allpress. Each .mniumumm�in team traded bas- kets back and forth with UNC-Char- lotte still hanging on to the lead, but not by much. The Lady Pirates ball movement was effective in getting people open for the jumpers. After that 11 point deficit, the Lady Pirates brought the 49er's lead to only three points on two separate occasions. The first time the lead was cut, Beth Jaynes hit a jumper to cut the score to 17-20 with 9:20 left A free throw by Blackmon again cut the 49er's lead to three, 29-32, with just 1:44 remaining in the half. ECU went into the locker room down 31-36. The Lady Pirates hit 48 percent of their shots in the first half, 33 percent of their three's and 66 percent of free throws. Blackmon finished the half with nine points, Tracey Kelley added six and Allpress had five. UNC-Charlotte shot 50 percent from the field and from the three point arc, while shooting only 40 percent from the line. The second half saw ECU getting good shots, but as luck would have it they just weren't falling. " W e couldn't have gotten better shots than we got, with the ex- ception of the rushed ones Head Coach Anne Donovan said. UNC-Charlotte opened up the scoring drive with a Markita Aldridge lay up. However, on ECU'S next pos- session Blackmon was fouled and nailed both free throws.

"So we got them out of their rhythm somewhat" A Kelley lay up made the score 35-38 with 18:12 left in the game. The 49er's and Lady Pirates would go basket-for-basket for the next 13 minutes, until the Lady Pirates tied the ballgame up with 5:48 left at 54 apiece. UNC-Charlotte called a time out to regroup, and that is exactly what they did. The 49er's quickly regained the lead and never looked back. The 49er's won the game by eight points, 60-68.

The Lady Bucs needed a win after a disappointing loss to UNC-Charlotte, and they came away with a close one when they defeated the Lady Seahawks of UNC-W 60-57 in CAA play this past Friday in the Port city. Donovan's troops vere led by junior shooting guard Justine Allpress who registered 17 points four assists, two steals and one rebound. Following close behind Allpress was center Tomekia Blackmon with 11, and Danielle Charlesworth who added 10 points of her own. ECU led at the half 36-30 by shooting 52 from the field and a much improved 83 from the charity stripe. The Lady Bucs continued their percentage by finishing the game 25-50 from the floor and 6-7 from the free throw line. This much needed victory puts the Lady Pirates at 7-10 on the over-all mark and 3-5 in the CAA standings. With the win in Trask Coliseum, the Lady Pirates keep the Lady Seahawks in the conference cellar by leaving UNC-W winless in conference play.

The East Carolinian Tuesday, February 6, 1996 11 NFC holds on to deny a late AFC comeback HONOLULU (AP) - For Brett Favre, being surrounded by a group of "West Coasters" proved advantageous. For Jim Harbaugh, another opportu- nity to add to his "Captain Comeback" heroics fell short - not once, but twice. It was only a simple one-yard out pattern, but Favre, the NFL's player of the year from Green Bay, made the most of it by drilling a pass to San Francisco's Jerry Rice that gave the NFC a lead it never relinquished in Sunday's 20-13 victory over the AFC in the Pro Bowl. "I was in synch with Jerry (Rice) said Favre, even though they worked together for only a week. "There were times when a play was called, I just knew where he'd be as I've done with Robert (Brooks of the Packers) dur- ing the season. Even though he wasn't the primary guy, I hit him with several balls. "The touchdown was jusjt a simple out by Jerry, a one-on-one with man coverage, and he beat his guy so good I just had to hit him. It was easy Rice, voted the game's most valu- able player, seconded Favre's rationale. "I think Favre knew that I would be there the wide receiver said. "When I looked back, I didn't see him; I just saw the ball. We run a similar kind of offense at San Francisco, so I didn't have to do too much thinking today That Favre-Rice combination stemmed from the "West Coast of- fense which Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren helped develop while an as- sistant with the 49ers. It was different for Harbaugh, who pulled off several game-ending victo- ries for Indianapolis during the regu- lar season. Given two opportunities to at least tie the score with two minutes left in the game, Harbaugh couldn't pull it off. First he threw an interception from the NFC 8 and then misfired on three passes from the 14, including missing a wide open Tim Brown of Oakland in the end zone as time ran out Harbaugh was more upset about the interception than the incompletion. "He was covered the quarter- back said of his receiver. "I tried to throw it high, giving him a chance to catch it It got tipped right up and in- tercepted Tim McDonald of the 49ers picked it off in the end zone to stop that threat but the AFC defense held on downs to force an NFC punt and give Harbaugh another shot at a score. A 36-yard pass to New England's Ben Coates put the ball on the 14 with 47 seconds left but after spiking the ball to stop the clock, Harbaugh threw consecutive incompletions, including the game-ending overthrow to Brown. Had the AFC scored, coach Ted Marchibroda of the Colts said he would have settled for a tie and not gone for a two-point conversion. Harbaugh's miscues earlier in the game resulted in 10 points for the NFC. Ken Harvey of Washington picked off a pass and returned it 36 yards for a touchdown late in the second quar- ter. "I saw him there and I thought I could get it by him Harbaugh said. "He made a good play and he was gone. I saw him standing right there and I thought I could slip it by him and I couldn't" LOOKING FOR A MAJOR THAT OFFERS: Unlimited job opportunities Diversity Challenge Growth potential -i- Personal satisfaction Financial rewards INTERESTED IN: � Administrative Management � Computer Technology �The World of Health Care THEN CONSIDER A DEGREE IN HEALTH INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Recently listed by US NEWS and WORLD REPORT as one of the top 20 careers for the future.

Another interception of a Harbaugh pass, by Darren Woodson of Dallas, set up a 24-yard field goal by Morten Andersen of Atlanta with two seconds left in the half that made it 20-7. The NFC appeared to have a safe lead, but the AFC went on a time-con- suming 8:01. 87-yard drive that was capped by a 17-yard pass from Harbaugh to Curtis Martin of New England to make it a 7-point lead with one quarter left The NFC's only threat in the sec- ond half was Andersen's 53-yard field goal attempt, which hit the upright That kick preceded the first AFC drive that ended with McDonald's intercep- tion. The AFC got off to a record-break- ing start on its first possession with a 93-yard touchdown pass from Cincinnati's Jeff Blake to Yancey Thigpen of Pittsburgh. The Blake-Thigpen hookup bet- tered the game record of 64 yards set by the Houston combination of Dan Pastorini and Ken Burrough in 1976. Thigpen made a one-handed catch over the middle at the 35 and outraced San Francisco's Merton Hanks to the end zone. "I was looking at the tight end (Coates) and saw Merton Hanks (San Francisco defensive back) come up to the middle of the field to cover Yancey Blake said. "He came up too far and I saw Yancey go right past him so I laid it up The NFC responded with a 36-yard field goal by Andersen to make it 7-3 AFC at the end of the first quarter. At halftime, New York City police Sgt Michael Volino lost his chance to win $1 million when he missed a 35- yard field goal. The kick, taken off a tee, was on line but it had little height and landed around the 2-yard line. "I was hoping for a miracle he said. "The crowd roar took my mind off the kick Volino, 35, trained under Jets spe- cial teams coach Ken Rose in New York and then under Denver kicker Jason Elam in Honolulu.
