r TUESDAY JANUARY 27.1998 EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA Officials say nearly half of computers with "Year 2000 glitch corrected t Legislators to consider financial aid next session Students work on computers in the Austin Building, these computers may incorrectly recognize the last two digits in the year 2000 as being the year 1900. PHOTO BY JOCEIYN FRIEDMAN CRAIG D. RAMEY SENIOR WRITER Expected computer glitches from the year 2000 have ECU's computer staff already working on a problem that may not come into effect for two more years. "We started working on the problem about five years ago with IBM said Blake Price, CIS (Computing & Information Systems) director; "Right now wc have about 40 percent of the problem fixed This technological setback involves the computer's understanding of the year 2000. When most computer programs were written, they were taught to read the last two digits as the year 1900 instead of 2000. "Potentially, this could affect paychecks or retirement checks Price said. "Some employees have their paychecks directly deposited into banks and financial aid may come from outside sources. If the bank or loan company has not upgraded, they may not get their money. This affects any computer that uses date calculation in its programming This glitch has caused complications before. Nearly a year ago, officials had problems with a financial calculation that projected beyond the year 2000. "We have most of the student systems fixed Price said. "Right now we are working on financial systems Software venders have upgrades that will convert the old technology. Integral, a computer software company, has volunteered to upgrade systems in human resources. ECU technicians are also putting changes in programs they have written. To prepare for the glitch, the alumni system has been given a totally new package. So far, ECU has had to support this solution on its own, without help from state legislature. Next session, there will be a proposal to give ECU money to help. "It hasn't cost us any money Price said. "We have to pay for it with people power and postponement of other projects Personal computers could also be affected by the year 2000. "The newer ones should be okay, but the older ones will have a problem Price said. "They have it in their hard wiring to SEE COMPUTER 6LITCH PACE 3 Book buying alternatives not likely to become option to students Students, like the one pictured here, often sacrifice large sums of money to purchase books for a semester, a problem not likely to change in the near future. PHOTO BY JONATHAN BREEN Rentine would not allow professors to change textbooks often AMBER TATUM STAFF tt'RITKR Every semester, students of all classes dread the hassle of having to buy their books. Alternative means have been sought out by our student stores. Western Carolina University has a policy where students pay a $68 book fee which is included as part of their tuition. This allots one book; the rest of the books must be purchased through their student store. "We ECU have looked into it book rental said Director of Student Stores Wanda Scarborough. At Western Carolina, a two year adoption policy is in effect which says that a book that is rented must be used in class for two consecutive years. "Our professors wouldn't like it because they would not be able to change books when the newer ones come out Scarborough said. It would be very expensive and time consuming to get a policy like this on the move. Millions of dollars would have to be allocated and professors would have to agree ro a three vear adoption policy Professors at Western Carolina are starting to try to make changes to get away from their two year adoption policy. "The book fee will go up to $72.50 next fall as a cause of requests coming in for exceptions to our (two yeat) policy said Pam Degraffenreid of the Western Carolina University Bookstore. When asked if ECU would ever consider using this mean of getting books, some answers were skeptical. "I wouldn't recommend it because the fee wouldn't cover course packs or recommended course readings Scarborough said. Students gave their opinions as to if they would prefer a policy like this. "Yeah, I would like to rent my books especially when my rent and scholarship money goes to buying my books said junior Stephanie Adkinson. Other students have totally different opinions. "I would rather buy them because the money I get back from selling them at the end of the semester helps me a lot said sophomore Meredith Snyder.

PHOTO BY JOCEIYN FRIEDMAN Board looks to put past scandals behind them HOLLY HARRIS SENIOR WRITER The ECU Medical Foundation, the fund raising organization for the Schools of Health Sciences, Medicine and Nursing is still licking its wounds and making provisions to insure last year's financial calamity will never happen again. Last September former foundation President Robert K. Adams II was indicted on 16 charges in relation to financial mishandling and embezzlement othe foundation's monies. Vice president, and executive director of the Medical Foundation, Terry Carter, says the organization is undaunted by recent setbacks and will continue it's charitable missions in the future, including beefing up the Medical Foundation board, putting more controls in place, and keeping up a good rapport with it's publics. "I think its a difficult time that we are engaged in, we arc more proactive in educating our donors and friends in the kinds of pivotal roles they can play in joining with us to support the three schools-it's vital for any charity organization to engage in a continuous educational effort Carter said. According to Carter there has not been any complaints from donors or any funding offers removed. "I really haven't received an inquiry about anything thats happened-What I have tried to do is say it's a new time and a ne� era, and we are totally committed to ouj mission Carter said. Due to the fact that an audit report revealed that the Foundation's board oT directors did not have enough control over former president Adams, the board has been increased in size and divided into four committees that each have a responsibility to keep track of a certain area and report back to the board as a whole. Since one of the main areas in which organization lost monev was Adams's mishandling of foundation land purchases, one key. committee has been formed to oversee real estate issues.

A new book by three diversity officials at Penn State University tackles the issues minority students face when they attend predominately white institutions. www.tec.edu 25th anniversary of landmark Roe vs. Wade passes HOLLY HARRIS SENIOR WRITER This year marks the 25th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that recognizes the right of every woman to decide for herself if she wishes to carry her pregnancy to term. There are nearly 26 aborti owns for every 1000 women of reproductive age in the United Stares. To assist women at ECU who have to make this difficult decision, the university offers several paths of counseling and physical care. Health providers at Student Health Services are available to administer urine or serum (blood) pregnancy tests, and then to counsel the woman on a variety of options if the test proves to be positiveIf a pregnancy test comes up positive we counsel on all the options and refer where appropriate If they opt for an abortion we give them a list of the different places with numbers and maps said Heather Zophy Health Education Coordinator for the Student Health Service. Another important information service Health Services can provide is a brochure or information sheet from the individual clinic that states its policies, costs, and anesthesia practices. Abortions are generally available from about seven weeks to 20 weeks of gestation. Prices are related to the length of the pregnancy, but student rates start at about $225 to terminate a pregnancy during the first trimester, not including anesthesia. Certain locations also offer "The morning after" treatment which can be used only within 72 hours of conception to insure that a pregnancy will not result. The Health Center has information on clinics in North Carolina as well as a few in Virginia. If the patient is concerned about the procedure itself someone at the university center is available to discuss and explain the operation.as well as what the woman can expect in the weeks after her abortion. Zophy says that services at the ECU clinic are completely confidential, and the woman is assured of privacy. "It's up to the students and their partner or support to decide what's best for them, We're here to educate them on their options and to help them out the best we can while answering their questions Zophy said. Post-abortion checkups including a pelvic exam are part of the university's student care services. Not only is the woman given a physical checkup, but she is also counseled about STDs and contraceptive methods. Another important resource for women who have elected to terminate their pregnancy is the University Counseling Center. This free service is available to anyone who may need help coming to a decision, or working through feelings about the decision they have mad. "We are a confidential service because I think one of people's big concerns is that they don't want people to know ow. We can assure them they wont find out from us said Dr. Nancy Badger, a counselor at the center. "We have the ability to see people on short notice, and we can also provide referral services for other mental health services Badger said. The counseling Center and the Health Center will work in conjunction for the best welfare of any woman that requests their services to insure adequate physical care and individual counseling. Both centers can also provide a variety of abortion alternatives including adoption. Organizations such as Carolina Pregnancy Center and the Department of Social Services will counsel women who choose to carry their pregnancy to them and help them find resources such as maternity clothing, prenatal care, and assistance after pregnancy. Information about adoption services such as The Children's Home Society of NC, and Catholic Social Ministries, is also available through university providers.

Former Nazi's extradition sought for Rome wartime massacre ROME (AP) �An Italian senator has asked the justice minister to seek the extradition from Austria of a former Nazi officer implicated in one of Italy's worst wartime massacres, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Saturday. The Rome dairy La Repubblica said it had traced the ex-Nazi, Wilheim Schubernig, 83, to a southern Austrian town, Sankt Veit an der Glan. The newspaper said he had been named as taking part in the 1944 retaliatory massacre of 335 civilians by the Nazis at the Ardeatine Caves outside of Rome.

January 27, 1998 news The East Carolinian Native Americans see college as better life, presently only 2 percent represented BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) � Last summer, as Clarice Mesteth loaded her life into a car and headed 300 miles from home, fear churned in her gut. The 25-year-old Oglala Sioux woman began a journey that is rare among Indian people and too often ends in failure. Now, in her second semester at South Dakota State University, Mesteth is determined to return home to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation clutching a bachelor's degree. "When you leave the reservation, it's like you're naked she said. "But I can't drop out of college, because this is my future Mesteth is among the few American Indians in South Dakota likely to earn a college degree. Many Indians at the state's public universities drop out; many more never set foot on a college campus. That concerns educators and tribes, who see higher education as a tool to enrich the state's poorest people. Less than 7 percent of Indians earn a four-year degree, fewer than any other minority group in the state, according to the 1990 U.S. Census. This trend is mirrored by Indians' scarce presence at the state's six public universities. While Indians make up about 8 percent of the state's population, they represent just 2 percent of students at public universities, according to Board of Regent statistics. Preliminary statistics show that most Indian students at state universities quit before earning a degree. In a 1995 sampling of university students, less than half of the Indian students enrolled in a public university re-enrolled the following year, according to the Board of Regents. Computer Glitch continued ftom page 1 check the current date before they boot up Embedded systems will also be an obstacle for technicians to face. These include things such as chips in elevators and medical equipment. "Some of those systems can't handle the date Price said. "An elevator might think it is time for its maintenance date, shutting down because its repair is over 100 years too late To help test computers, CIS does offer software that reports if the computer will be affected or not. Last Tuesday, CIS held a seminar in which they answered questions and made all ECU departments aware of the imminent problem. Price predicts that another one of these seminars may take place in the future. Medical Foundation continued from page accurate appraisals and report their findings to the entire board. These precautions were instated to make certain that nothing is a one person operation. "ifc Not only is the board larger and more specialized, there are also controls that demand an increase in the number of people authorized to sign checks, additional and consistent internal and external audits, and full board approval for all land purchases. The board even has a new Chairman, Thomas A. Bennet, the retired vice chairman of Wachovia Bank. Finally, the foundation is taking steps to legally recover some of funds Adams Embezzled. "That's being evaluated by the board and its a very important issue, as a group and as a foundation, we feel it is important that we make every effort possible to recover the money legally Carter said. Carter says the foundation is taking such careful steps to insure a bright future for their organization because of it's high level of dedication to the students in the three schools for which they raise money for scholarships, endowments and other educational opportunities. "We wouldn't be here if it were not for the student body, that's what drives us to our commitment of excellence Carter said White House continued ffom page may start a foolish military action by attacking Iraq according to an editorial in Babil, a daily newspaper owned by Saddam's sonOdai. In some Arab cities, the scandal triggered gloom over its possible meaning for peace in the Middle East. Lebanon's leading newspaper, An-Nahar, said that Clinton's sex scandals have - 'paralyzed and handcuffed him Egypt's Al-Ahram newspaper hinted pro-Israeli plotters were scheming to underminethe president. An editorial in the Palestinian newspaper Al-Quds lamented the potential impact on Clinton's efforts to coax Israel into withdrawing its troops from a substantial portion of the West Bank. The controversy could give Israel's hard-line government "a new escape hatch undercutting Clinton's effort to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the newspaper said. Israeli newspapers did not publish Saturday morning because of the Jewish Sabbath. In France, some editorials criticized the prudish attitude toward sex in America.

If you can quote a number that low you're lucky. How about $200? $250? $350? If it's above that, you deserve even more sympathy than the average student. Textbooks are one of those costs most students grumble about every semester. We don't like paying for tuition, housing or meals, either, but books seem to particularly gall us. And why is that? Well, maybe because not all of the books we buy are used in the classes they are required for, or if the book is used, it's sometimes only certain chapters, not the whole thing. And after the one semester in which they are bought, we have no further use for them. So we're going to spend anywhere from $30 to $100 on a single book that we will use for four months, and then do the same thing for a different book the next semester? Of course, we are offered the opportunity to sell our textbooks back, and many of us do, thereby recouping at least some of the expense. That is, as long as the teacher or the department hasn't decided to switch to a different text, or the publisher hasn't come out with a new edition which the academic world figures it simply must have. And what's the deal with new editions, anyway? Do they really change enough to warrant the cost of a new book, or the loss of a chance to sell a used book back? Last semester the Student Store was not buying back Shakespeare anthologies because a new edition was coming out. Has Shakespeare really changed that much in the past few centuries, never mind the past few years? Some schools are attempting to offer their students alternatives to buying their books, such as Western Carolina University. They offer the chance to rent a book, which can then be returned at the end of the semester. Their system sounds far from perfect�only one book can be rented per semester, and the cost is still far .too high. But at least they arc offering an alternative, something which The East Carolinian would like to suggest that ECU look into. Surely there must be other, less expensive ways for us to obtain the temporary use of books that we're going to return at the end of the semester anyway. OPINION Jeff BERGMAN OPINION C0CHRAN Tobacco battle reminiscent of prohibition In a court fry where nearly half the population lights up daily, big T seems indomitable in the real war American's like their right to smoke when they want toy just as they like their right to a beer on Friday night. People will always smoke. In boxing there are punches-that can catch you just right � a solid left hook, a right cross, a powerful blow to weakened ribs. Last week RJR Nabisco took one right on the ol kisser. Following a California lawsuit which uncovered documents showing big tobacco plans for advertising aimed at 14-to- 18-year-olds, RJR must be reeling under the shot. In what seems an endless battle between the state attorneys general and big "T it may seem the attorneys are chopping solid stomach shots. Last fall they sent big tobacco to the canvas in a $365 billion settlement, which most critics of the tobacco industry said was too easy on RJR, Philip Morris, and others. Big T agreed to the settlement rather quickly, true enough. Many say the California lawsuit of last week is an example of the reason why. Under the last fall's settlement, tobacco companies would gain immunity against future lawsuits U.e. ones like last week) where attorneys have access to big tobacco's written records. The reason why RJR and Philip Morris agreed to pay $365 billion dollars is to save money. It is going to cost them a tot more if lawsuits continue. However, a Republican-led congress is slow to pass any deal involving their major campaign financiers. And the Clinton camp seems just as reluctant to make a staunch move. Meanwhile, big tobacco seems to be getting waylaid. The irony is that no matter what happens, RJR will live to fight another day. They might have to pay a lot more money on their next go around (which means consumers will have to pay a lot more on tl next go around) but they will rise again. How can they not? In a country where nearly the population lights up daily, seems indomitable in the real war. is all too reminiscent of prohibition transitory moment in the spotli; ' Americans like their right to s when they want to, just as they like their right to a beer on Friday night. People will always smoke. So why should we support state attorneys genera! who arc only going to hike the prices of a pack of cigarettes up? Why should we let them frivolously peck away at our state's number one export? You tell me. It is a bit more subtle battle than that of prohibition, no doubt. Hit 'em where it hurts�the checkbook�right? But let me ask you this; when the smoke clears, when politicians have congratulated themselves for squeezing more money out of big tobacco, who is really going to be left to foot the bill? People smoke. Sex scandal, dirt overshadowing real news UETTER to the Editor we care more about the Presidents sex life than the crises in Iraq or the Pope's historic visit to Cuba. We have become such a society so bent on dirt that we wallow in it like hogs. Did you hear the news? The President allegedly had an affair. Whoop-de-do! Who cares? Evidently a lot of the American public does. Hani Copy, Extra, Jerry Springer move over because here comes the cavalry; Rather, Jennings and just about every other' major news network anchor. These broadcasters are going to tell us all about the President s sex life. I want this important, groundbreaking news. I want to know when Clinton first had sex, where, and for how long. I want the names of each and every person he engaged in sex with. Hey, it is our business, the man is President of this country. The President's entire life should be open to scrutiny. We do not want an immoral man in the White House. Immorality in the White House? Not in my country. The United States has an image to uphold. The legacy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Lyndon Barnes Johnson and John F. Kennedy must be continued. For these fine men inhabited the White House, and they had a tradition of being moral in the eyes of the public and a very cooperative press. This attack mentality in the press is not fostered by the press. We, the public, buy the crap they print, televise or broadcast. For some strange reason, we care more about the President's sex life than the crises in Iraq or the Pope's historic visit to Cuba. We have become such a society so bent on dirt that we wallow in it like hogs. We, as a society, love dirt. Hugi Grant and Divine Brown, hard hitting important news to me and a good portion of the country. Suppose Clinton did have sex outside of the bounds of marriage. Shall we brand the President with a scarlet letter? An even better idea would be to leave the President's or anybody's sex life where it belongs; between the parties involved, whether it be one or 21. We arc not the ones who are to judge Clinton. If his wife can stick by his side through all this junk that some like to call journalism, it should be good enough for the rest of the country. Perhaps some consider themselves a better judge of the President than his wife. In this case they are either mentally deranged or Republican, perhaps one in the same. One Card system needs improvement I write over a frustration that I am learning is universal the more students at ECU I speak with. The topic, you might have guessed would be the conversion to the ECU One Card. Let me share why I am frustrated. Like a model student, last semester when we were asked to get our picture made for the "grand" ECU One Card, I did. I was told that I could pick it up in the Spring. Spring rolls around, and like a good student, I braved the lines to pick up my card, only to be told that they couldn't find it and by the way, "Just walk around the front of the bookstore and go in some doors on the side building to check on it So I went outside and around the building, but when I got to the side of the building, I realized that there arc a lot of doors, none marked with information relating to the ECU One Card. Fortunately, 1 chose the right ones to enter and again, I was confronted with a line. I was graciously told by a fellow student that since my card was lost, I could step to the front, at which some lady took my name and social security number. After waiting 20 minutes without being told anything, I decided that other things in my day had to be accomplished and that I would have to waste time coming back to campus, finding a place to park and probably waiting in more lines, just to get some card the folks at the ECU One Card office lost. Can you not understand my frustration? It stems from the run- around I have gone through, the disorganization of the all campus office, the lines resulting from this disorganization and the apparent inadequacy of the personnel in the ECU One Card office. I wonder where my picture ID with my social security number (which 1 have always been taught is private) is? How did my card get lost, and if it were truly misplaced, then why could my card not be replaced in the 20 minutes I waited since all pictures arc stored on the computer? Or what if my card was given to some other student? In order to minimize these frustrations, the ECU One Card office should check into some options. Perhaps mail the cards to the students after their tuition is paid. Then again, this would require planning ahead and organization.

The premiere act of the independent label, MoWax, Shadow has gained a reputation as one of the genre's most innovative and creative artists. His influence has not only inspired other hip hop musicians and aficionados, but also rock groups (such as Radiohead) and filmmakers (such as the avant- garde Wim Wcnders.) Pmmptkx Strike is not a new album. Rather, it is a collection of singles previously available only on vinyl. Some of these songs were rather hard to come by, and due to the high demand for Shadow material, very expensive. Admittedly, this collection is not nrarrv as good as Endttvdmnz. but it's not supposed to be. As Shadow relates in the liner notes, "I wanted to make them (the songs) available to those who enjoyed Endtroducmg while I still had some control over their presentation Shadow's wisdom in this matter is a refreshing change from the usual way "previously unreleased" collections are presented, as hodgepodge compilations thrown together by greedy record companies.

Slobberbone Barrel Chested 9 OUT OF IO Caleb Rose STAFF WRITER Music has been worldwide since the beginning of time and has slowly evolved. Through the changing times, music has become more and more categorized, especially these days. People ponder the question, "What happened to rock and roll music and where did all of these other music genres come from?" If you arc wondering this as well, then you can find the answer with Slobbcrbone's latest Doolittle Records release, Barrel Chested. The opening title track, "Barrel Chested" fuels the album with the purest 93 octane rock-n-roll I v a i I a b I e . Singersongwriterguitarist Brent Best makes the listener aware of his current situation as he rocks out tinging, "I'm broken down and barrel chested again some people try for all their lives but never make a dent This loneliness-through-failure theme is quite common in Best's The East Carolinian (V Student Union rolls in changes Bowling, Barefoot and Fiona among spring highlights RON CHERUBIN1 SENIOR WRITER There is nothing quite like spring at ECU. It gets tougher and tougher to go to class when you wake up and sec everyone outside laying out, riding bikes, jogging, walking the dog and, frankly, living it up. In an effort to add to the frustration, Mendenhall Student Center is gearing up for a number of fun and exciting events for the spring semester. Among the "distractions" offered by the student center are the annual Mardi Gras party, Barefoot on the Mall, concerts, lectures, movies�a multitude of things to do. The Department of University Unions, housed in the student center, is collectively made up of full-time staffers and students at ECU, who are tasked with coming up with entertaining programs for the study body as a whole. Bill Clutter, University Unions director, likes to approach Mendenhall programming from provider-client point of view. "We want to tailor Mendenhall to the needs of our clients Clutter said in reference to the thousands of students that make use of the student center. "Whether it's work, relaxation, or play we want to make Mendenhall the hub of activity Clutter's short run at ECU has been marked by rapid changes at Mendenhall. The bowling alley, now the Outer Limit? has been revamped, and the latest renovation addresses both recreational and academic needs. "The SGA expressed a need for a better computer lab Clurter explained emphasizing the SGA's role in the creation of the new computer lab. "The new lab is actually moved now and open at this point. Currently, we have the 12 computers and a big screen television in there But, there is much more to come in the lab. "We're in the design phase right now Clutter said.

We've expanded the hours and have the potential to make the lab a 24-hour one if needed. We're enhancing the lighting for added security and comfort reasons and are installing a new sound system. 'Wfe're creating some ambiance When in full operation, the computer lab will be a state- of-the-art lab within yards of both recreational fun (billiards, bowling) and food. The Mendenhall staff is gearing up for Mardi Gras, a late night party at Mendenhall Student Center on February 20th, which has been a hit year after year and this year will be bigger and better than ever. Food, prizes, a casino and much, much more, make the event one to mark on the calendar. The Student Union's Barefoot on the Mall on April 30th will actually be more like Barefoot on the Bricks as it will be moved to a location between Mendenhall and the Student Recreation Center. Though there is no replacing the effect the mall has on the event, Barefoot should, as always, be a smash. "We're not going to hold back a bit this year said Jeffrey Marshall, assistant director of student activities. "The move certainly won't affect the experience. Vfe've had Widespread Panic, Edwin McCain and the Toasters the last three years and we expect to have another great show in here this year Speaking of big shows, the Student Union is bringing in one of the nation's, hottest acts on March I. Fiona Apple is signed to play at Minges Coliseum. Jur timing is right Marshall said. "(She is) a three-time Grammy nominee. The award show is February 27th and we've got her on stage March 1 On the heels of the Fiona Apple concert is a big-time, three day jazz bash. The three day event was dreamed up in the School of Music and by the time it was lined up, the Student Union, WTEB radio and the ECU Athletics Department were all aboard.

PAGE 7 St. Paul Chamber Orchestra performs tonight Conducter OrchestratesFbr Modern Audience Jason Jenkins STAFF WRITER Reports of the demise of classical music have been greatly exaggerated, if you believe Hugh Wolff. Wolff, who conducts the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra that will perform at Wright Auditorium on Jan. 27, doesn't buy the theory that orchestral concerts are going the way of the Edsel or the platypus. With a little more attention to the needs of the audiences of 1998 instead of 1848, Wolff said, classical music can experience a renaissance. "What kind of event do we want a concert to be? If it's only a celebration of music from 150 years ago with everybody dressed the way they were 150 years ago and the atmosphere stuffier and more intellectual than it was 150 years ago, then we've made a serious mistake Wolff said. And Wolff, bom in Paris, trained at Harvard and a professional conductor since 1979, is doing what he can to change the perception of classical music. Not by ignoring the musical luminaries of the past, but by framing their work in a more modem light. "I've had this kooky idea that, since we're not an original- instruments orchestra, we can learn from the original instruments about style and about sound, but let's do that on modem instruments Wolff said. "We've learned something from original instruments about sound, style, articulation, tempo. And, frankly, modem instruments in the hands of good players should be able to do anything That's precisely the goal of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, America's only full-time chamber orchestra. While orchestral music has steadily declined in popularity recently due to a multitude of perceived factors (the rock orientation of baby boomers, the demise of the philanthropic rich, the boredom of attending concerts), the SPCO has consistently sold out concerts around the world. "That's because SPCO seeks out newer, better ways to present music said Wolff. "There's always a place for all- Beethoven concerts � I'm all in favor of them and don't mind wearing tails Wolff said. "But we have to be more flexible. That's not the only way to go Wolff said. "If I'm presenting music to an audience 20 to 35 years oid, I'm not shy about speaking from the stage and explaining why T have juxtaposed certain works. "When you study your audience, you get comments that say people stay away because they feel intimidated or they feel like they're not welcome or they feel it's an abstract experience. If you address Hugh Wolff wants you to enjoy classical music. PHOTO COURTESY OF MARKETING DEPT. those three fundamen tal things, you don't have to change your program that much, just the way you present it Wfoiff points out that concerts are still entertainment, and audiences exposed to other forms of entertainment demand more. "Look at the entertainment forms we're competing against Wolff said. "They've all done more than we have. Go to a professional basketball game and there's a whole aspect of entertainment that didn't exist a generation ago if you're competing for a younger audience, you have to recognize it. "We're not going to dim the lights and have lots of dry ice, spotlights and loud canned music to introduce guest artists. But we do need to be aware that people expect a certain amount of excitement in their entertainment these days That's one of the reasons for the selection of the music SPCO will play. The concert begins with an acknowledgement of modem composers, with Aaron Jay Kernis' Too Hot Toccata. Kernis, a composer-in-residence for SPCO from 1993-1996, was commissioned to compose Too Hot Toccata by the SPCO and completed the work in 1996. The work is scored for flute (doubling on piccolo); two each of oboes, clarinets (2nd clarinet doubling on bass clarinet), bassoons, horns and trumpets; timpani and percussion; piano; and strings. Too Hot Toccata is an appropriate concert opener, a five- minute piece that is upbeat and highly energized. It also features almost all the principal players and sections of the orchestra as soloists, something Kernis intended as a tribute and a challenge to the players. Next in the program is Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Opus 11 by Frederic Chopin, a 39-minute piece highlighted by the appearance of acclaimed pianist Emanuel Ax. This piece opens with a striking march of Polish character, and slowly descends into a pathetic tone, only to be lifted by the striking entrance of the piano solo by Ax. While the first movement is sweeping, the second is more intimate. Ax launches into extensions of the music previously heard, and as the SEE ORCHESTRA.

Rubbish � it's alive and punching, as indicated by the bands who have taken the stage at Peasant s the past two Thursday nights.

Despite their youthful appearance, the Blue Rags are excellent musicians, combining elements of ragtime, gospel, blues, country and bluegrass. The Blue Rag boys weren't a talkative lot, but, nevertheless, provided a lively and entertaining set. The band rolled through songs like swinging hobos. "Bootlegger Blues" and "First Time (One More Time Tonight)" were among their best numbers. A love for music is apparent among all the band members, SEE CONCERT REVIEW.

That act, if signed, will be a familiar name to most music lovers. Marshall also pointed to a number of other Student Union programs ongoing throughout the spring semester. Chew on This continues, including one on the cigar fad and another on white- watering the Mississippi. Time Wise will be giving a lecture on a white perspective to Affirmative Action, and a dancestory telling group, Womyn with Wings, will perform in March. Student Leadership has a busy semester as well. "This semester Student Leadership Development Programs' Interact Series is playing host to two successful ECU Alumni said Jim Sturm, director of student leadership development programs. "Dr. J. Reid Parrot, Jrpresident of Nash Community College, and Ms. Lisa D. Benton, regional personnel manager for Wachovia Bank will be sharing their 'Success Stories' as part of the drop in workshop series Sturm encourages students to attend these workshops pointing out that not only do students get to hear insightful speakers, but students also get a free lunch. So, it appears, that Mendenhall's lineup isn't just Mardi Gras and Barefoot on the Mall. Throughout the semester, you can count on a bevy of top-notch movies to keep you entertained. Look for such popular and recent films such as Fifth EJement, G.l. Jane, In &Oui, and Mimic among others. As always, ECU students get in to the movies for free and are welcome to bring a guest. Also on the recreation tip, the bowling center is now operating under its new name, the Outer Limitz, and is boasting a new look. The entire center has been given a neon facelift for glow bowling, the center's newest program. Bingo is back in full force this semester on a regular basis. Last semester, bingo was such a hit at Midnite Madness, that now, the popular late-night activity, has been added to the regular schedule. The S. Rudolph Alexander Performing Arts Series wraps up with a strong Spring lineup. In January, The Saint Raul Chamber Orchestra will play, featuring pianist Emanuel Ax. In FebKiary, the Georgian State Dance" Company will perform, as will th fterlin Symphony Orchestra featuring pianist Derek Han. Highlighting the spring events is the popular musical Grease which will be performed on Monday, February 23rd. The series wraps up with a performance by the Van Clibum International Piano Competition runner-up, Yakov Kasman, in March. The ECU Travel-Adventure Film and Theme Dinner Series will present four more destinations, complete with gourmet meals. And, the Family Fare Series concludes with a trio of performances: Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, Jungle Book and Laura Ingails Wilder: Growing Up on the Prairie.

SLOBBERSTONE continued from page 6 songwriting as the latter tales from the album narrate. For instance, the track "Front; Porch" is a precise measure of this theme. It tells the story of a felk who seems to have been dumped, because throughout his relationship he has only remembrances of parties and nights of drinking that leave him "passed out on the front porch with a head full of beerconfused and clouded by thoughts of you, dear Tn record harbors rwo other surprises in the field of musical genres. The two tracks "Lame" and "Haze of Drink" display punk rock roots that seem to be under Slobberbone's feet. Hard guitar riffing and typical punk rock vocal harmonies drive these tracks. N The other surprise is the manner that the Dcnton, Texas lifestyle comes out country. Typical of Eastern North Carolina and a growing trend all over the country now is a mesh of raw rock n roll with traditional country sounds. To accomplish this feat, the band started by writing slow, acoustic (sometimes electric) sorrowful numbers. Once this had been consummated, Sloberbone decided to put the finishing touch on by recruiting Lloyd Maines (Uncle Tupelo, Richard Buckner, Wagon) to accompany them on pedal steel guitar and dobro. To further aid this countryrock mesh, they add fiddle on a few tracks played by Susan Voelz. For a fine example of this music fusion, consider again the track "Front Porch As stated earlier, Best begins the song by making the listener aware of his current situation: "Driven by silence, I'm drownin in sin Ripping guitars tear through the song until it breaks down into Best's Neil YoungSteve Earle-style harmonica solo. "Get Gone Again" offers the same style however at a much slower tempo. This track floats on the somber notes that are resonating from Lloyd Maines paradise of pedal steel playing. Barrel Chested is full of surprises, but none of these are as great as the story told in the chilling track "Billy Prichard From the opening line, we learn that a boy was found dead lying in the creek of the town. Then the story switches to the boy's sister and her new love Billy Prichard. Her father does not approve of this and warns her of this boys past life: "I dont want him hanging round here girl'cause his eyes are filled with evilhe's gonna drag you to the depths of Hell The father says that her brother had gone fishing with Billy and that is who killed him. He continues to tell her Billy's father was a drunk and his mother a whore; they raised him on witchcraft, debauchery and everything wild. When her father took his son fishing with Billy, he had planned to kill Billy by having them wait for him by a tree. The two friends, being friendly-like, traded hats while the father was gone and when he snuck up from behind and shot him in the head. In the end, the father's secret was out: "You shot your own son and vou blamed it all on Billy Chilling.

With eyes rolling back in his head and smiling like he's the guest of honor at a Tijuana whorehouse, Reynolds makes the stand-up bass look like an orgasm machine (that's a compliment). Gram Parsons didn't care for his music being labeled "country rock" or "progressive country Instead, he preferred the more specific (and more elusive) label "Cosmic American Music Perhaps, however, Chapel Hill's A&kc knows what the hell pi' Gram was jawing about. Indeed, their Jan. 15 show at Peasant's suggested a vast array of influences mined from the treasures of what we call American music, including that of Mr. Parsons. American music is certainly the guest of honor at a Wake show. Thursday's show offered spirited doses of country, folk, blues, rock and roll and bluegrass to the Peasant's crowd. Wake, made up of former FTyin' Mice Jon Shain (guitar, vocals) and Mark Simonsen (drums), along with Oarreli EMxon (bass), John Curie (guitar) and Kirsten Simonsen (vocals, mandolin), performed incredibly beautiful. heartfelt music that provided relief from the rain and mud offered by the Greenville night. More than likely, the weather was also to blame for the only medium-sized crowd in attendance. The band, however, didn't seem to mind the size of the crowd, as they delivered a fine set. Wake was scheduled tc perform that weekend at the Nemo Showcase in Boston. If they were holding anything back for that show, it was not apparent. Fans of harmonizing will eat up Shain and Kirsten Simonsen's sweet vocals like John Goodman chasm down a double coconut pic. There is, of course, the Gram ParsonsEmmylou Harris comparison that can be made of their harmony vocals. However, Shain's voice has more of a Dylan nasal thing going than Parsons' high twang. Simonsen has a gorgeous voice of her own that would make Shania Twain crv like a hurt cat. Songs like "Weight of Time" and "Forty Days" showcased not only the talent of Shain and Kirsten Simonsen, but all of Wake. They played tike a band that has been together quite sometime, despite Dixon and Currie not having even appeared on the group's self-titled debut album released last year on Flyin Records. Hopefully, Wake might make it back to the Emerald City. Soon. And, hopefully, the weather is as good as their musk.

PMSTO COURTESY Of THE BlUE BASS ORCHESTRA continued from page 6 attention shifts solely onto the piano solo, the orchestra assumes a subordinate role. The finale brings another change of character, this time an expression of youthful vitality. The themes of the closing movement suggest vigorous Polish dances, and the piano part revels in exploits of dexterity After the intermission, SPCO plays Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 in A Minor, Opus 56, "Scottish" The composition follows the classical symphonic plan of four movements, though Mendelssohn stipulated that these should be played without pause. The piece meanders between serene, melodic and dark, march-like tones, giving the piece a deep emotional complexion. In all, the performance is geared toward providing music that will move and excite the audience, something Wolff thinks is vital. "I like the players to know that they have a real stake in the performance, that it's their performance and not just mine Wolff said. "By the time we get to concert, they can do it without me, generally speaking. I'm there to be a spark and to remind everyone that there's a live audience.

The album begins with two singles from the earliest days of MoWax, "Influx" and "Hindsight Both of these show Shadow's early experiments with his unique sampling methods and his penchant for jazz and classical music samples. The jewel on here is the suite "What Does Your Soul Look Like" offered in its completion and in the order Shadow prefers. Presented over four tracks, this sublime and masterful movement is testament to his powerful compositional skills. The piece possesses an urgent spiritual quest, very similar in attitude to John Coltrane's four-part composition, A Love Supreme. Shadow may very well be the Coltrane of hip hop since he seems to be unwilling to keep hip hop in the realm of butt grinding soundtracks and has instead decided to turn the versatile medium into a very emotional art form. The album closes out with a phat new composition, "High Noon" and a sry remix of Etu&rvducmg's "Organ Donor In "High Noon Shadow demonstrates that he hasn't lost his creative spark at all, and his clever use of hard rock guitar riffs and fast- paced drum samples to create a jazz-oriented song is just shy of genius.

It wasn't long before UNCWs Mark Byington got into the game, sending in a three-pointer of bis own with 15:42 on the clock. By the end of the first half, Bytngton collected six more points to lead his team into halftimc with a one point advantage over the Pirates. 29-30. ECU lost control of the game in the second half, with excellent plays by Byington and senior forward Keith Spencer, shooting 8 of 9 from the foul line. The Seahawks maintained the lead for the entire period, to end the game with a victory to improve their record to 10-8 overall, 5-2 in the CAA. The reason you win road games in any conference will be the play of your seniors Seahawks head coach Jerry Wainright said.

Peters and Raphael Edward each put in eight, while Dunk followed with six. Edwards, a senior from Brooklyn, N.Y was named CAA player of the week for the second time this season after turning in four consecutive 20- point performances with the 88-67 victory over Richmond last week. Edwards currently ranks third in the conference in scoring (17.8) and second in rebounding (8.1).

Both the men and women ran along vith about 30 other teams from iround the country. Coach Charles Justice said This was a tremendous meet. This was the highest caliber neet I have ever seen Top teams from all over the :ountry such as Miami.Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, UNC, nd N.C. State just to name a ew. The men's track team :ompeted in only their second ndoor track meet of the season his past Friday and Saturday, lashawn Deans, a junior from pring Hope N.C. tied his best or the season in the 60-meter ligh hurdles with a time of 8.58 seconds.

Vaughn Monroe, from Fayetteville, N.C. led a trio of pirates in the finals of the 60- meter dash. Monroe who took third in the preliminaries with a time of 6.80 seconds took fifth in the finals with a time of 6.85 seconds. Titus Haygood, from Charlotte, N.C. and Freshman Chris Justice, of Greensboro N.C. also made it to the finals with preliminary times of 6.90 seconds which was good enough for seventh for Haygood, and Justice completed the preliminary round with a time of 6.95 seconds. Haygood also placed seventh in the finals with a time of 6.91 seconds and Justice took third place with a time of 6.95 seconds in the consolation races. The most bizarre twist of fate came during the 4x400 relay. Our team was battling Seton Hall for the top spot in the race when in the third leg of the race Seton Hall's runner collided with our own Mike Miller and pushed him off the track and possibly out of a first place finish for the race. The lady pirates were led by Saundra Teel a junior out of Beaufort, N.C. She set her seasons best time in the 60- meter high hurdles in the preliminary competition. In a race were only the top 16 times could qualify for the finals Teel's time of 9.03 seconds placed her 17th in the competition, among some of the country's most elite runners. Freshman Marshari Williams of Durham, N.C. and Junior Missy Johnson of Richmond, VA. also ran in the preliminary round and set times of 9.30 seconds and 9.32 seconds. In the 60-meter dash preliminaries ECU was led by junior Nicky Goins of Jacksonville, N.C. who finished 23rd overall with a time of 7.84. Freshman April Cox, of Farmville, N.C. placed 51st with a time of 8.18. The distance medley competition team finished strong with a time of 13:01, which placed them 15th overall. Saundra Teel also placed seventh in the high jump, and Kiona Kirkpatrick finished 16th in the 400 to finish the weekend for the lady pirates. Said Coach Justice "There were about 70-80 kids in each event and to finish in the top 15-20 is something special, especially with this kind of competition On January 31st the Pirates will travel to the University of Kentucky for the Rod McCray Invitational.

In his state of the league address Friday, commissioner Paul Tagliabue said he would back a reinstatement of instant replay to aid game officials' calls on critical plays only. But he said he wanted to limit replays to critical plays, the kind that can make or break a season. Tagliabue seemed at ease during his one- hour news conference, and why not? He just oversaw negotiations for new television deals that brought the NFL nearly dlrs 18 billion over the next eight years. Super Bowl goes high tech SAN DIEGO (AP) �Any way you look at it, the Super Bowl is so wired this year you could call it the Cyber Bowl. There are stadium seats with armchair computers that allow fans to view instant replays, call up player stats and watch the live telecast. For the millions of fans not lucky enough to have a ticket to the Super Bowl between the Green Bay Packers and the Denver Broncos, the National Football League offers an interactive web site, with a live global cybercast, views from six camera angles (including the blimp), and international audio reports in five languages. There is nothing that will substitute for the live game, but this is a darn good consolation prize, said Ann Kirschner, vice president of NFL interactive. The fan is totally in control. Flutie still hoping to measure up with the Bills ORCHARD PARK, New York (AP) � His hair is longer with a touch of gray, the creases in his face deeper. Other than that, not much has changed since Doug Flutie last played in the National Football League. After signing a two-year contract with the Buffalo Bills, Flutie wound up answering the same questions Tuesday that have followed him throughout his career. Is he tall enough to play in the NFL? He was introduced by the Bills standing 5-foot-9 (1.73 meters) �and that's wearing one-inch heeled cowboy boots. All I know is that I played the game at my height all my life. I know no different, Flutie said. This is a game. It's football. I know one way to play it. Over the last eight years in the Canadian Football League, Flutie was named the league's most valuable player six times and took the Toronto Argonauts to the Grey Cup title the last two years. In the last two seasons, he completed 64 percent of his passes for 11,225 yards, 76 touchdowns and 41 interceptions as the CFLs marquee player. He was expected to make about dlrs 1.1 million in Canadian currency (about dlrs 700,000 U.S.) next year had he signed another contract with the Argos. I'm taking a risk, no question about it, Flutie said. Right now, my decision is not about money. It's about playing football and having fun. The CFL put the fun back in football for me. I'm not going to let anybody take the fun out of it for me ever again. Man snares happiness repairing baseball gloves COLUMBIA, S.C. CAP) �Larry Monts found a business that fits him like an old glove. A longtime worker in the sporting goods field, Monts turned a peripheral part of his job repairing baseball gloves into a budding side business where he does everything from relacing to reconditioning to reworking gloves. Baseball has held a lifelong interest for Monts, a former third baseman for Chapin High School who played the outfield for two years at Coastal Carolina in the mid- 1970's. Now 46, he began by fixing his own glove before he began repairing others after he went to work for Todd & Moore in 1982. Monts decided to take the plunge for himself after working out the details with Todd & Moore, where he's the warehouse manager for shipping and receiving. The store is a drop-off point for his Carolina Gloveworks, born in January 1995 and based out of his Chapin home. I decided I might as well make this an interesting thing and create a little business, Monts said. Business has gradually grown to where he repairs 300 to 500 gloves a year, working evenings and weekends. He gets work from recreation parks, Dixie youth leagues, high school and college teams, as well as individuals. Monts does basic work such as fixing thumb and finger loops and replacing webs, as well as more- complicated operations such as taking apart an entire glove and replacing the padding. Lawyer's pet project may set precident in animal law Fashion models without furs. Laboratory break-ins. Snappy slogans. That's rhe animal rights movement, out front. Behind the noise is an activist of a different sort, Boston trial attorney Steven Wise. While most attorneys in the movement lobby for anti-cruelty statutes or go to court on behalf of outraged pet owners. Wise stands apart in the belief that he can reshape the legal concepts of person and property through common law. His goal is to win fundamental rights� or full personhood for animals, though other specialists in animal rights scoff at the idea that common law can be used that way. Wise is soft- spoken but firm when he defends his approach as the most likely way in which rights for animals will be achieved. Munoz, Singletary, Head 1998 Class SAN DIEGO (AP) �Tackle Anthony Munoz and linebacker Mike Singletary, who dominated their positions during the 1980s, were elected to the American Pro Football Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility on Saturday. Also chosen by the 36-man board of electors were safety Paul Krause, the U.S. National Football League's career interception leader: Dwight Stephenson. who played 107 straight games at center for the Miami Dolphins; and seniors candidate Tommy McDonald. Munoz was an indestructable offensive lineman for the Cincinnati Bengals, elected to 11 consecutive Pro Bowls and chosen for the NFLs 75th anniversary team in 1994. He was a three-time choice as Offensive Lineman ofthe Year and was picked as the NFL's Man of the Year in 1991. Wisconsin Weekend Package RACINE, Wis. (AP) � Al Svendsen liked football as a kid. He wasn't an exceptional player, but he enjoyed the game and was versatile. In those days� 1946 � if you played end you played both offense and defense. While his four kids had to guess about ATs football finesse, they could at least give the ol' man a hard time when it came to the garb. They got a glimpse of him decked out in his high school yearbook, where they found a photo of the young Al. lunging toward the camera, hands out, goofy helmet secure, ready for action. Raiders hire Jon Gruden as head coach OAKLAND, California (AP) � The Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden, the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, on Thursday to be their third coach since 1995The hiring, expected for the past few days, was announced late Thursday- afternoon by team spokesman Mike Taylor.

ECU-HOME; ECU-FOOD ��MMMVMMMHi sports s The East Carolinian Football fans enjoy commercial breaks NEW YORK (AP) � Celebrities, feuding reptiles and other critters battled for attention in high-priced commercials on the Super Bowl telecast, though the most daring ad made it look like someone had committed a huge blunder. Federal Express ran a network test pattern as the backdrop for its commercial during Sunday's game, when 30-second ads cost a record Si.3 million. A caption ran across the bottom chat said the unidentified sponsor had prepared a great ad with dancing kangaroos and a Garth Brooks soundtrack but it never got to the network because the ad agency used someone other than Federal Express for the shipment. "We wanted to highlight the reliability of our service Federal Express spokeswoman Shirlee Clark said late Sunday. Others poked fun at the stakes involved in advertising on the Super Bowl, which has become a showcase for marketing creativity as well. Continental Tire had an actor who looked more like a professor than a pitchman hold a drawing of its tires during its commercial, Super Bowl victory means Denver fans play hooky which concluded " We don't make great tire commercials. We make great tires More than 30 advertisers appeared on the program that was expected to attract an estimated 130 million viewers. The outcome of the game remained in doubt until the final seconds of play, meaning viewers stayed tuned for the whole game and all of the commercials. Underdog Denver beat defending National Football League champion Green Bay 31- 24. A dozen advertisers used animals or celebrities for their ads Three Budweiser commercials featured'a sore-losing lizard named Louie who hired a hitman to eliminate the famed frogs who had earlier been selected over him for the beer ads.

DENVER (AP) � Elated and relieved that their team finally won a championship after 38 years and four failures, Denver Broncos fans didn't mind spending another few hours Monday waiting for the Super Bowl champs to return home. Adults took the day off work and kids missed school to flock to Mile High Stadium, where a buoyant crowd of at least 25,000 roared and threw confetti when the team finally arrived at a welcome-home rally just before 7 p.m. Fans started lining up at noon outside the stadium, which opened at 3 p.m. "I feel like five hours was nothing compared to the 38 years we waited said Robert Bluhm, 47, of Denver. � f It was well worth it Jared Jones skipped his classes at Colorado University, arriving at 2:45 p.m. to celebrate the team's first Super Bowl championship in five tries. "I've waited my whole life to win said Jones, 21, of Littleton. "I can wait a few more hours to see them in person Chanting "El-way "El-way fans shook orange pompoms and waved banners as quarterback John Elway � a veteran of four of the Broncos' Super Bowl berths � crossed the field to the stage. The players and coaches deserved to win, he said, "but for 38 years you guys have been there and you deserve it more than anybody "I wasn't sure we were ever going to get to do this, but isn't it fun to stick that one finger in the air and say we are the best?" So hoarse his voice was nearly a whisper, coach Mike Shanahan said to wild applause, "We've got the best fans in the world. Thank you very much Other players, including Shannon Sharpe, Bill Romanowski, Neil Smith, Mark Schlereth and Ray Crockett, many with their wives and children, joined owner Pat Bowlen on the podium to thank the cheering and whistling crowd. "We've very proud to be home with the Lombardi trophy said Bowlen, hoisting the silver prize over his head. Bowlen has threatened to sell the team if voters do not help fund a new stadium, and some fans said the Super Bowl victory would build support for the cause. "This is definitely going to change the outcome of the stadium tax said 17-year-old Jesse Malcomb of Broomfield. "There's no way we won't pay for a new stadium TRACK continued from page 9 their schedule around so that they are able to practice in the afternoons. That limits the classes that they are able to take Justice said. In addition to practices, the meets also present potential problems. Since most meets are on weekend and out of town, the runners often miss Friday classes due to travel. The motivation to succeed academically often comes from inside the team itself. "The kids on the team put a lot of pressure on each other to do well in school. I think there's a lot of competition between each other for the grades Justice said. Linnemeier, who holds a perfect 4.0 grade point average disagrees, "We support each other "We have this thing called secret pals. At every meet, we give each other little inspirational gifts Linnemeier said, "So we're motivated Ironically one source of motivation comes from the causes of the pressure. "We are all hard workers Linnemeier said, "We know we have practice everyday and meets every weekend so we work harder The squad's academic excellence is due in part to the motivational and competitive factors from inside the team. However another reason comes from a closer look at the sport of cross country and the athletes that commit themselves to it. "The sport requires you to be very highly motivated and self- disciplined. Those characteristics carry over to the classroom Justice said. "You're talking about a sport where you have to go out and run mile after mile, by yourself with no one making you. That type of discipline is going to make you a better student RUSH ALPHA PHI OMEGA National Co-Ed Service Fraternity Informational Meetings: Tuesday January 27,1998 Wednesday, January 28,1998 MenXnhaH, Rm. 221 AAendenhall Multi-Purpose Room 8p.m. 8P-m- � Leadership, Friendship, and Service Winner of the 1996 Governor's Award For more information, please call Angie Nowaski at, 355-3452 FLORIDA ka SPRING BREAK FROM $149 PER WEEK $ANDPtfER BEACCMNMBEACH WESOfCT PANAMA Cmr BEACH HOME OF THE WORLDS LONGEST KEG PARTY' CALL FOR INFO. 1-800-874-8828 5UARV 3,1998 8:00 PM HENDRIX THEATRE Pablo Francisco STUDENTS FACUfTY SZ.Qfl GENERAl PUBLIC $5.00 AT THE DOOR S7.00 I 1 llw8�LIMJn w ON SALE AT THE QENTRAI.UICKET OFFICE, MENDENHALL STUDENT CENTER.
