The center will have three main goals. The first goal will be to provide comprehen- sive care to all eastern North Carolinians with the disease in an effective manner through service, education and research. Another goal for the diabetes center will be to begin a regional diabetes registry that will be able to track how well diabetics respond to treatment. The final goal will be to serve as a resource for all providers of diabetes care and diabetes self-management educa- tion in eastern North Carolina. Dr. Michael Pfeifer, professor of medi- cine and head of the endocrinology section at ECU, will be the medical director of the new center. The long-term goal is for the center to have a diabetic building to serve patients and their physicians in eastern North Carolina; however, at this point an appoint- ed board is working on the strategic plan and the budget. The center will concentrate on providing services in Pitt County. Then, the center will branch out to UHS hospitals in Tarboro, Edenton, Windsor and Ahoskie. Staff at the center also will help develop a disease man- agement plan for people with diabetes to make sure they are receiving the proper care they need at the correct time. When the center first opens, the facility will be an umbrella organization over the services that will continue to be in various places. Eventually, UHS hopes to build a facility to house the center. "The idea of the diabetic center is to make it easier for all physicians to take care of patients the way that they want to Pfeifer said. One of the initial goals the center wishes to reach is for all diabetes patients in eastern North Carolina to follow a health regiment called CENSE. CENSE is an acronym for Control (blood sugar, diet) Early treatment No Smoking Education (diet, diabetes, pxercise). "The new diabetes center will make it easier for doctor's to implement the CENSE regiment that all doctors follow with diabetic patients Pfeifer said. "This center is not made to take away patients from doctors Some other aspirations for the diabetes center is to implement disease management Tommy Yarboroi'gh staff writer After 20 years as editor of "Tar River Poetry (TRP) Peter Makuck, English profes- sor at ECU, is just as commit- ted and excited as ever in publish- ing quality poetry.

CAMP LEJEUNE ? Corps Capt. Richard Ashby was not qualified to fly the type ,of advanced, low- level training mission that resulted in the accidental deaths of 20 skiers in the Italian Alps, a flight expert said Tuesday. Lt. Col. James Brubaker gave his opinion about Ashby's abilities during testimony in Ashby's court- martial for his part in the accident Feb. 3,1998. Prosecutors say Ashby was intentionally flying too low and too fast when the right wing of his EA-6B Prowler snapped the cables carrying a gondola across a valley at a ski resort in northern Italy. He is accused of involuntary manslaugh- ter and other crimes. Ashby, 31, who was deployed from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point to the air base at Aviano, has been described by many as a gifted pilot, a natural in the cockpit. Brubaker is a longtime flight instructor who never worked with Ashby. But after reviewing acci- dent reports, witness accounts and the training histories of the crew members, and after taking a heli- copter ride through the valley where the accident happened, Brubaker said he concluded that Ashby and his crew should never have gone on that kind of training mission. While Ashby had many hours of flight experience in the Prowler at higher altitudes, Brubaker said, he was not adept at maneuvering the bulky aircraft at low levels in moun- tainous terrain. Ashby, who was scheduled to return to the United States the day after the accident, had not been on a low-level flight for seven months. As the pilot, responsible for the safety of his three crewmen and the $53 million aircraft, Ashby should have ordered a change in the mis- sion, Brubaker said. He should have reduced the difficulty of the flight by drop- ping the low-level maneuvers and concentrating 'on other training goals. Ashby is expected to testify that he did not have enough recent experience at low-level flight to be able to tell his plane had fallen well below the 1,000-foot minimum alti- tude U.S. pilots recognized in Italy. An optical illusion made him think he was much higher than the 360 feet at which he struck the cables, his attorneys say. Lt. Col. Alex Torrance, a flight training commander and six-year cockpit veteran of the Prowler, also was ordered to help gather evi- dence for the government, an assignment he was reluctant to accept. At first, he said, he thought the Marine Corps was unfairly pros- ecuting the crew. But he, too, said he eventually concluded that the crew had failed to carry out their duties to assure the safety of the flight. He took exception to defense claims that the men did not realize how low the jet was flying. It may be difficult to discern the difference between 500 feet and 600 feet in altitude when traveling at 515 knots, he granted, "but you know you're not at 1,000 foot Earlier in the day, Capt. William L. Raney, who was in the back seat of the Prowler when the accident occurred, testified for the govern- ment under a grant of immunity. Raney said he had taken a still cam- era, a Christmas gift, on the flight. He said he pointed the camera out the window, without lifting his SEE PILOT PAGE 5 Tar River continued from page t reputation has grown, its scope has extended far beyond the banks of the Tar. Makuck took over as editor of TRP in 1978, replacing Vemon Warren, one of the founders of the magazine.

"It consisted of poems solely from local poets and members of ECU's poetry forum Makuck said. "It wasn't even funded by the school Mackuck wanted to make the magazine more than just a local publication. "I have made many changes over the years Makuck said. "First, I obtained a mandate to nationalize the publication. Then I added book reviews, interviews and essays to give it more variety The magazine has made its mark nationally. "In the last five years, the annu- al "Dictionary of Literary Biography" and "Writer's Digest" both listed TRP in the top 10 mag- azines publishing traditional and open-form poetry Makuck said. "Poems that originally appeared in TRP have also been reprinted in the "Yearbook of American Verse the "Pushcart Prize Anthology" and "Best Poems of the Year he said.

A jury found a 19-year-old white man guilty Tuesday of attempting to bum a cross on the lawn of an interracial couple and recommend- ed he serve 90 days in jail. The maximum punishment Richard J. Elliott faces is five years in prison. "I think the sentence reflects what they believed to be his role his minimal role in what hap- pened defense attorney James Broccoletti said. He had asked jurors not to incarcerate his client for "a stupid prank without any maliciousness on his part" Elliott was one of three white teen-agers arrested in the crime last May.

Satellites launched by South Africa, Denmark VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP)? Three satel- lites, including the first built by South Africa and Denmark, were launched into orbit Tuesday aboard a single Delta II rocket. The rocket lifted off before day- break after 11 mostly weather-relat- ed delays. It released the Air Force's Advanced Research and Global Observation Satellite, or Argos; South Africa's Sunsat spacecraft; and Denmark's Orsted. Sunsat was created by engineer- ing students in South Africa, pri- marily to show that they could do it. Orsted will map Earth's magnetic field. Argos was designed to con- duct research on military and space technology. Though small, the 130-pound satellite from South Africa and the 136-pound one from Denmark rep- resent those nations' entry into the club of spacefaring countries. Argos, by contrast, weighs 3 tons and is loaded down with research gear. Sunsat was also symbolic of South Africa's return to collabora- tion with the international science community after being isolated during the apartheid era. The repeated delays had become a source of jokes in Denmark. On Danish postal stamps, however, the satellite has been circling Earth since January. campus briefs Thursday, Feb. 25 -Our Town - Pat Hingle, a stage and screen actor with a long list of credits including the role of the commissioner in the last three BAtman movies, will star in the East Carolina Playhouse produc- tion of Our Town that opens tonight at 8 p.m. in McGinnis Theatre.

For ittformatKr. can win? ouwiew From the time that we're in Kindergarten, when we are eager to color pictures, up through m: high school, when sports and academics' competitiveness drives us close to insanity, and into .college, we as students often strive to be leaders. Sometimes, even if we don't expect to be ?"?'the best-of-the-best, we still desire recognition for our special talents, or at least a position that, .? we hope, is capable of influencing others. Irt often not easy to immediately establish ourselves in a way that allows us to both motivate others and encourage them to consider our views. And though you may already be someone among your circle of friends who is sought for advice or consolation, we at TEC P would like to remind you of several opportunities at ECU to become more of an official leader. fen There are numerous organizations that appeal to a wide variety of interests. If you're a social ? i person, then sororities and fraternities are ideal groups to become involved in. And aside from kheir parties, there are various projects that permit you to positively affect the community. ir Student Council and Student Union are other ways to have a leading role in campus ,? decisions made in regard to campus activities. Several departments, such as marketing, have created their own clubs for majors, minors or - anyone interested to become more knowledgeable about the area and learn what it takes to .use that knowledge and benefit themselves and others. P And then, of course, there's also Student Publications which encourages you to expand and voice your communication skills which, in most aspects of American society, is always advantageous. You may be wondering why it's important to consider joining any of these groups. Well, - there is the popular "it looks good on your resume" reason. But, some other purposes are a bit I ill' , jnore poignant. m. Leaders aren't necessarily born, they're made. The best way to prepare for a future full of "dcomputers, fast cars and possible human clones is to begin exercising your talents and interests j,lVnow so that you'll be ahead in the movement rather than left behind. ???' But remember, not everyone is going to agree with your motives and feelings, so be sure to n assume a leadership role with humility and courteousness, and there's a close to 100 percent -J?'?C I chance you'll be looked up to.

It just ticks me off that I have to pay money for something I should get anyway. That's it. I am finally going insane from all of the bills that I get. Along with most ECU students, I am seriously concerned about the erroneous charges occurring on these bills. It's not so much that I cannot afford these bills. It just ticks me off that I have to pay money for something I should get anyway. First, the touch-tone charge. They charge you a dollar for that annoying sound that you get when you pick up the phone. Then there is a line access charge, which is usually five bucks. They are charging you for the privilege to pick up a phone to pay more money for a phone call. They even charge you 20 bucks to get your phone cut on, when they should be happy enough that you are using their service at all. I can see their view. Profit, profit, ?rofit. Well this is how profit works, bu work, and are paid less than what you are worth, so you can go out and buy products for more than what they are worth. The phone companies are outrageous. When you go to McDonald's, you don't have to pay the person at the counter an extra five bucks to make your sandwich for you. They just give you the burger at the normal price, and you're happy. But somehow the phone industry feels that since they are a public commodity, they can just charge whatever they want, even if it is erroneous and unjustified. And then there are the power bills. If you were like me, my electric bill last month was at least 40 bucks higher than anything we had in the summer, and we had the AC blowing night and day. I mean, what the heck? We were even gone for a week! I think there's something fishy going on. And speaking about out-of- control prices, let's talk about soft drink companies. A 20-ounce drink costs almost a dollar, whereas a 2- litcr runs about 80 cents. Drinks like Pepsi are about a cent's worth of water, sugar and coloring. I don't drink soft drinks hardly anymore, because it disgusts me that these people are making a 10,000 percent profit off me every rime I drink one. Writer a. Letter It should be emphasized that we have to take resonsibility for ourselves and know when we are and are not in control Though this is very unpopular, it needs to be stated: Females need to take care of themselves.Under the influence of alcohol, so many things go on and so many signals are given and missed that it becomes impossible for anyone? especially a guy?to muddle through them and make a sound decision or evaluation of any situation. This week at East Carolina University is Sexual Assault Awareness Week. Its purpose is of course to heighten the campus' awareness to the problem of sexual assault. Of course, it is important to generate concern about sexual crimes, but it is also primarily, if not entirely important to prevent further assaults from occurring. This prevention motivation should be the most prominent facet of this week's campaign against sexual assault. Many clear measures are taken and are continually evaluated here at ECU to deter "stranger" rape. Hence, the lighting around campus, emergency posts, hot lines, etc. These measures are very needed, but they often overshadow an even larger problem in regards to sexual assault, namely acquaintance rape. Is acquaintance rape a problem? It's hard to really know because nine out of 10 are never reported. This lack of reporting is due to various reasons. Among these reasons is the simple fact that if the girl knows the guy then she is probably amiable with him and doesn't want to cause any problems. Her confusion about the whole occurrence along with broken trust and security issues also plays a major role in her not coming forward. So, how does one reasonably prevent this from happening to them? A very important approach to this issue is never brought up because of its political incorrectness and implications about female and male roles in regards to sex. Most unwanted sexual encounters with an acquaintance in a college setting is due to the influence of alcohol andor drugs. This drug and alcohol factor alone poses a very significant slant on consent issues within such an encounter. Basically what happens is a girl gets taken advantage of and blames the guy because he violated her, and it is all recounted in some hazy recollection. This is a natural and usually correct reaction by the female but an extremely important aspect of these encounters is either overlooked or dismissed. Though this is very unpopular, it needs to be stated: Females need to take care of themselves. Under the influence of alcohol, so many things go op and so many signals are given and missed that it becomes impossible for anyone? especially a guy?to muddle through them and make a sound decision or evaluation of any situation. This is definitely not to say that acquaintance rape is in any way, shape, or form the female's fault or that a female deserves it or should it expect it if she drinks, but after it happens who is at fault is not as important as the fact that it happened and the female will have to deal with it for the rest of her life. The blame game doesn't resolve the trauma she had to endure or will have to work out in the future. That is why it is of the utmost importance for women to take care of themselves when they are drinking. The guys just aren't going to do it for you?not because they are particularly evil?bj because they are not exacdy I their right mind under tjbj influence either. It's sad to say but the occurreiii of bad events is an occupant hazard of parrying beca everything sounds like a "good it at the time Expecting for thi to go exactly as planned wf drinking is like expecting to out in a thunderstorm and not wet?it's just not going to hap "Bad events" can include not oi sexual assault, but also accidei injuries, etc. This is why campus I officials really do not want underage drinking?it's too much of a liability. All of this is not to say tlat college kids shouldn't drink and that women or men deserve bad things to happen to them when they do choose to drink. Of course, not all acquaintance rapes can ' prevented because let's face there are tons of slimy people there wanting, willing and waii to do slimy things. It should be emphasized that have to take responsibility ourselves and know when we and are not in control. No one is going to do it for you. You have to constantly be alert even when there is no alcohol or drugs in si ' 1 'he propensity to make mistaki just as high for males as femaless avoid, potentially compromisin. situations all together if yo intuition or conscious beckons you to. Remember who and why you are assaulted are never as important as the fact that you actually were, so planning to take solace in blaming someone or planning to rely on someone to,do What is in your best interest is naive and counterproductive. Essentially, bad things do happen, so take it upon yourself to lessen the chance that the bad thing happens to you. he?p? lopteare of my rote models We.

Braimi OPINION Chris Coppedge Major does students disservice While other schools are pouring money into their broadcast programs, ECU is choking ours to death. The past couple of weeks have informed me of an ongoing saga within my major. More specifically the B.S. in Communication Degree of which I hope to graduate with soon. Basically the degree deals with the broadcast media. It is supposed to teach students about television and devices used for television programs. There is a strong interest in this field and the number of students in the broadcast programs reflects that. There are so many communication majors that waiting lists are created about a week before registration even begins. ECU also seems like an ideal school for this program because of the number of local stations in the area that the students can work with. However, the "powers that be" dislike the broadcast program immensely. The "powers that be" are, of course, the administration and I believe that they do not care about my education at all. OK, pop quiz hotshots: the B.S. in Communication is found in which department? If you answered the Department of Communication, you are wrong. The correct response is the Department of Broadcasting, Library Studies and Educational Technology. If it seems out of place it's because it is. The broadcast program was thrown out of the Communication Department years ago by the administration for what is referred to as a "civil war Besides being ousted from our rightful department, I have heard that there is little or no budget for the broadcast program. While other schools are pouring money into itprt their broadcast programs, ECU is" choking ours to death. Schools like UNC-Wilmington are receiving funds to build digital studios but we are stuck with aging, outdated and broken equipment. I know many departments mayj not have money, but how about, a donation? This is what has upset ? me the most. I was told that a couple of years ago, before 1 enrolled, that a wealthy man? wanted to donate over a million dollars to the broadcast program ; Somebody in the administration ? decided the money should be used7 for the nursing school. The donator. ; refused to give the money to any other program than broadcasting The person in administration decided that ECU did not want the money. What logic is being used here? When somebody wants to give you over a million dollars I believe the correct response is yes. i Of course, I don't have the education or intelligence understand our administration logic.

Febrtury 25. 19 features Thi East izeJ Students plagued by midterm anxiety Student sits in front of Rawl between classes to study and make the FILE PHOTO Counselors give advice on surviving stress Phillip Gnus STAFF WRITER Midterm alert! That time of year has rolled around once again, and ECU students are finding them- selves filled with stress. Whether they are worrying about making the grade or entering graduate school, students should be aware of the campus services that can help them through this troublesome time. According to the Center for Counseling and Student Development, the number of stres- sors on a student can increase dur- ing the midterm. "Different trends and issues that we see during this time of year include students coming in with feelings of sadness and depres- sion said Dr. Al Smith, assistant director of the Center for Counseling and Student Development. "Also, there are sophomores who are having to choose majors, people trying to get into grad school and different types of relationship stress There are many ways that stu- dents can cope with any overload- ing stress in their lives. Time man- agement can be one important skill to learn in decreasing stress and increasing academic performance. "Students need to realize that each course requires a special amount of studying. They wouldn't be able to study for a math exam the day before, for instance Smith said. By learning how to prioritize their time, students can maintain the balance between study time and leisure. "A couple of months ahead, I try to see what exams I have coming up so I can plan for them said Denise Vincent, sophomore. Some students seem to believe "If a student can develop cer- tain study aids and mnemonic devices, they will go a long way in their test taking Don Joyner Assistant Dean that if they start studying too early for a test that they will forget all the information they learn. This is not true. The more exposure a student gets to the information, the more chance they will retain it. "I try to space all of my exams apart and study well beforehand said Raheela Yunus, sophomore. Test-taking strategies are also necessary in preparing for exams. "Students need to develop a strategy for taking a test, just like a tennis player uses a strategy when playing tennis said Don Joyner, assistant dean at the Office of Undergraduate Studies. Students who feel that they are falling behind in a course are encouraged to read the summaries at the end of each chapter. It is also helpful to preview the textbook by scanning the headings in the chap- ters, as well as any italicized or boldfaced words. "If a student can develop certain study aids and mnemonic devices, they will go a long way in their test taking Joyner said. Midterms burn out can usually be attributed to students' pes- simism and negativity in their thinking. "Students just need to learn how to relax and put things in per- spective Smith said. "Meeting with a counselor on a one-to-one basis can help them learn how to think optimistically Students are warned against resorting to caffeine pills for late- night cram sessions. "This is the worst thing they can do. After taking the pills, a person will come down during their test and their mind will become very foggy Joyner said. As long as students keep their stress levels low, and maintain good study habits, the mid-term burn out should fade away. The Center for Counseling and Student Development will be pro- viding time management work- shops March 23 at 11 a.m. and March 29 at 3:30 p.m. Both will take place in Wright Auditorium. For more information on other workshops, students are encour- aged to call 328-6661. America's interest in excitement reaches new levels Extreme sports have come in from the fringe Snowboarding is now an Olympic sport. Former President Bush went skydiving at age. 72 and plans another jump for his 75th birthday this June. Any city worth its cap- puccino has a climbing gym where rock jocks hone their skills on faux cliffs. From speed golfing to sky surf- ing, Americans are finding ways to make their leisure time scarier, faster-paced and more grueling. Responding to the interest? some say creating it?is a rash of TV programs featuring extreme sports and daredevil stunts. One of the best known is ESPN's semian- nual "X Games Summer events include street luge, stunt bicycling and barefoot water-skiing. The Winter X Games feature snow- boarding, ice climbing and freestyle-skiing. All the exposure has raised the bar for what's considered extreme. In endurance sports, for example, the marathon once was considered the ultimate test of grit. Next came the triathlon, then the ultra- marathon. Now there are "wilder- ness adventure races" in which ath- letes run, kayak, swim, climb and otherwise hurl themselves across the landscape for days until they're too exhausted to move. Call it thrill inflation.

Now, with the approach of the new millenni- um, more people are watching pro- fessional wrestling, which has sud- denly become one of the most pop- ular sports and entertainment industries. According to NBC Dateline, the World Wrestling Federation's (WWF) Raw is War and World Championship Wrestling's (WCW) Monday Nitro Live were respec- tively the top two cable shows last week. BW-3's has jumped on the wrestling bandwagon when one of the bartenders, a wrestling fan, sug- gested that they order the Sunday night wrestling matches on Pay- Per-Vicw. When business increased, managers and owners continued to show wrestling peri- odically. According to Rich Muller, man- ager of BW-3's, business has increased since the bar started showing Pay-Per-View events. "It gets pretty crowded in here Muller said. "People come in about thirty minutes early, find a seat, and sit there staring at the televisions for three hours Technical mat wrestling supporters have a tenden- cy to feel that pro-wrestling is a poor representation of the skill and ability that one needs to participate in the sport. "It gives a bad name to amateur scholastic wrestling and it creates a misconception of what wrestling really is said Mick Smith, junior. "I don't consider it good enter- tainment said Jason Krim, an ECU student. All it is, is a form of entertain- ment said Anthony Bailey, Washington High School wrestling coach. "It's not a true sport On the other side of the fence stands the true wrestling groupies. On Monday nights, these fanatics can be found sitting in their homes, remote in hand, flipping back-and- forth from WCW to WWF for hours. "Wraslin better known as' wrestling, is the best thing to hit prime time since the Dukes of Hazard said Jason Corse, fresh- man. "WWF has better looking women than WCW said Cory Griffin, sophomore.

Career Services assist students in composing resumes Weekly workshops offered every Tuesday Brooke Potts staff writer Every student anticipates the day when they graduate and land that great job making big bucks. But few students realize the importance a solid, well-written resume has on finding a job. Before you start to panic and scream, "But I don't know how to write a resume rest assured that help does exist. The center for Career Services offers students and alumni from all majors assistance with finding jobs, intern- ships and writing resumes. What your resume says about you, or even what it doesn't say, can have a tremendous impact on your chances of getting a good job. Often, this is the first contact with a prospective employer. Director of Career Services James Westmoreland stresses that it is never too early to begin com- piling a resume. "The sooner a student begins work, the better Westmoreland said. "You could use a resume for a summer job, or as an information sheet to anyone who might consid- er hiring you for any position Employers who work through Career Services will often begin interviewing seniors in the fall, so it is important to plan ahead and begin compiling a resume as soon as possible. iorV Students assisted at Career Services.

PAUL (AP) - When Gov. Jesse Ventura hosts Czech President Vaclav Havel this spring, there will oe rock 'n' roll?and Ventura wants people to know it's Havel's idea, not his. Appearing live on the Los Angeles-based The Late, Late Show with Tom Snyder" Wednesday night via a hookup from the governor's residence, Ventura said he already met with the Czech ambassador, who said Havel dislikes black-tie affairs. "Then I almost tipped over backwards in my chair when he said Havel also gets very bored at these type of dinners. He said, 'Is there a chance that there could be some rock 'n' roll?' "I said to my communications people, please get this out to the public so they don't think that Jesse Ventura is now doing some- thing to get the president of the Czech Republic into rock V roll Ventura said he plans to hive a local rock band. Snyder suggested that perhaps a polka band might do. "Speak for yourself Ventura retorted. The two also discussed the gov- ernor's mansion and other perks of the office, such as the chefs. Ventura said first lady Terry Ventura has dubbed them the "evil chefs" because their fine meals force her to exercise more. Snyder also wanted to know where Ventura was during the broadcast, asking if he was in the vestibule of the mansion. "Is that what they call it?" Ventura asked. They decided that he was in the foyer. covering the Manual vehicle 'sticks' it to carjackers Aiken, S.C. (AP) - A trio of alleged carjackers were captured after being foiled by the car's stick shift, police said. A 19-year-old man told Aiken County deputies he was beaten with his cellular phone Monday night and pulled out of his car by three men who had followed him. But the attacker who hopped into the driver's seat couldn't figure out how to work the stick, sheriffs Lt Michael Frank said. Instead, the men allegedly stole the victim's CD player and cell phone, got back into their Chevrolet and fled. The victim took down their license plate number for police. Darryl Beasley, 32; Jason Royal, 19; and Gerald Newton, 18, were picked up by Richmond County, Ga. authorities and charged with robbery. Resume continued from ssti I community service, church involvement, as well as paid jobj, all count toward your qualifica- tion and experience The staff at Career Services can help you son through those experiences and present them to potential employers in the most positive way. Often, even a job which may seem of little rclatiqn to the position you seek demon- strates skill and knowledge The important thing to dcus to tailor the resume to best repre- sent who you ate Bullock said. Once you decide how to pre- sent your information, the next step is to organize it into the style that best illustrates your capabili- ties. Several formats exist for resumes, and each follows a dif- ferent pattern. Career Services gives students examples to help them choose what style best suits their individual experiences. Applying your information to a specific style is the last step; an important one which distinguish- es you from other applicants.

"When businesses see new construction, they think opportunity. Termites just see dinner Dave Langston, superintendent of Maricopa Agriculture Center, agreed. "Termites can be very happy here Langston said, point- ing out there are several species of termites in the desert. Houses are supposed to be pro- tected by foundations and pretreat- ment required by the Arizona Board of Structural Pest Control, but sometimes that isn't enough, experts said. "They only need one-sixty- fourth of an inch to get in said Steve Leavitt, Orkin's manager for the eastern metro Phoenix area. Robert Smith, an associate pro- fessor of entomology at the University of Arizona, said termites actually play a valuable role in the Sonoran Desert ecosystem. "We lack fungi here (in the desert) that breaks down cellulose, or wood debris Smith said. "In a few years, without termites, we'd be neck deep in woody debris. We should be thanking them" Tell that to Dean Rose, whose Apache Junction home has been invaded by the wood-chewing insects and now by exterminators trying to rid the house of them. "They just ate everything ojr carried it away said Rose, point- ing to what had been a kitchen wall. "This home here this is where we want to spend the rest of our lives. But they're just eating it U "P ail Pennsylvania bridges designed to salt themselves with liquid spray IRWIN, Pa. (AP) - If everything works right, motorists will never have to wait for road crews to salt three western Pennsylvania bridges. Before snow falls on any of the overpasses, weather sensors will anticipate the precipitation and spray the roads with magnesium chloride, which is essentially liquid salt The spray should save time for road crews and keep the roadways clear for drivers. A bridge will freeze faster than a road because air passes both above and beneath the span. The Pennsylvania bridges are the only three of their kind in the United States, said Mike Strobel, who spent Monday putting the fin- ishing touches on the U.S. Route 30 overpass near Irwin, about 15 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. "This is the future said Strobel, manager of the project for Boschung Co. If the sensors and low-lying salters work, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation offi- cials plan to use them around the state. The Route 30 equipment passed its first test Sunday night A bridge on State Route 28 in Allegheny County has had the technology for about two weeks. Work on a U.S. Route 6 bridge in Warren County should be com- plete in the next few months, Strobel said. The equipment for all three bridges cost about $550,000, said Transportation Department spokesman Steve Chizmar. Cindy Holderbaum, owner of Bob's Service Center in Irwin, dri- ves over the Route 30 bridge daily. She hasn't noticed any accidents or delays because of ice. "I guess they've gotta try it somewhere, but I don't know if this is the place she said Monday. "It's different" Strobel said many school buses use the bridge, and officials were worried that one could spin out on ice. Road officials decided to test the technology in western Pennsylvania because it has more freezing weather than the eastern pan of the state. The handful of other U.S. bridges with salt sprayers have j equipment that is activated by humans, Chizmar said. The j Pennsylvania bridges are unique because they work without human help, he said. One set of sensors tracks air temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity and other weather data, said Chizmar. Other sensors measure the pavement temperature and calculate howl much salt is needed. The technology has been used for years in parts of Europe, said Strobel, whose company is based in 1 Granges-Paccot, Switzerland. The spraying might have some j positive side effects. Water in bridge cracks can form potholes as it freezes and melts. The liquid salt will keep the ice from forming. In addition, the liquid salt worTt damage cars, Chizmar said. Hard salt can nick or rust cars, but trie magnesium chloride isn't corrosive. g In This Ad Effective a The Right Tb Limit r 34 Through March 2,1999 In Our Oreenville etore only. I To Dealers.

BASE jumping, which involves parachuting off cliffs and man-made structures, is illegal in most places. Blade running, in which para- chutists negotiate a slalom course while flying down a ski slope just above the snow, requires too much skill. Bunny bonking, in which motorcyclists with golf clubs chase rabbits across the desert, is just plain cruel. Sports that go mainstream may pose the most danger, if only because they are attracting more people. While BASE jumping has killed about 20 people over two decades, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says skiing and snowboarding accidents claim that many lives every year.

ODU leads the all-time scries between the two teams 29-10, but in tournament play the Pirates have a 1-0 edge. The tournament win over ODU was a 1993 CAA championship game in which the Pirates won and to go on to the NCAA tournament. The Pirates have a cumulative record of 5- 12 in tournament play, and hope to improve on that record this weekend. This year, ECU split the season's regular-season games with Jeff Capel's Monarchs, each team win- ning on the road. The win for the Pirates was their first in Norfolk, Va. since 1979, ending a 20-year drought. ECU beat the Monarchs 67-62 in Norfolk, but that was after ODU handed the Pirates a 54-51 loss in Minges Coliseum back on Jan. 13. In the loss on Saturday to UNC- W, a bright spot in the clouds was Neil Punt's best game of the season with 15 points, going 7-8 from the floor. "We've got to step it up this week Punt said after the game on Saturday. The Pirates will definitely have to step up their play after shooting a dismal 35 percent from the floor on Saturday. Rebounding has also been a problem as of late for ECU. The Pirates have been out-rebounded in five of the past six games by an average of 36 to 27. But, earlier this season they were much better on the boards and thus they out- rebounded their opponents in 18 out of 26 games this season. Head coach Joe Dooley sounds confident after the game on Saturday, despite the loss. "I don't see how we can come out like that again Dooley said. "We have to just try to put that behind us. I've got faith that these guys will respond on Friday As for the rest of the teams in the tournament,William & Mary and American are the eight and nine seeds, and will play in the Play-In game tonight at 7 p.m. The winner of that game will go on to play top- seeded George Mason at noon on Friday. The other afternoon game will feature fourth-seeded James Madison and fifth-seeded UNC-W. ECU and ODU will begin the evening games at 6 p.m. on Friday, and just after that game third-seed- ed Richmond and sixth-seeded Virginia Commonwealth will face off for the rights to home-court advantage. 1999 CAA Tournament '??

The Pirates swam strong and when the tournament ended on Saturday, both teams posted impressive times with the men placing fifth and the women third overall. Freshman Amy Hendrick led the way for the Pirates, winning the 100- metcr backstroke with a time of 56.56. Hendrick's victory is the first CAA title for ECU in four years. The time is the fastest in the history of the CAA according to head coach Rick Kobe and only five one- hundredths of a second off the NCAA qualifying mark. "I actually didn't know about the record until my par- ents told me after the meet Hendrick said. "I had lots of fun swimming the event and my team was there to support and encourage me Hendrick was one of many Pirates to set new records dur- ing this Championship week- end. ECU junior Hollic Butler set a new varsity record in the 200-meter freestyle with a time of 1:53.49, while Dana Fuller added new freshman and varsity records in the 1650 free. Senior Allison Holland played a key role in the women's success, shattering the 200IM and 200 back- stroke varsity records. Freshrnan power gave the women their strength as Courtney Foster added a new record in the 50 free. Foster's win brought the total ECU freshman records set at this event to five. "It's one ,of the fastest meets the women have ever swam, especially with all the injuries Kobe said. "Allison Holland would definitely win the outstanding swimmer award if I had to give it" ECU's archrival, the Seahawks of UNC-W finished first in the women's overall team competition followed by James Madison. Women's team members arc excited about their performance and feel satisfied with their accom- plishments. "Lots of us had our best times and .lots broke records, but wc all walked away happy with our individual perfor- mances Holland said. "I real- ly wanted to finish my senior year on a good note and we accomplished everything wc wanted to The ECU men's team was equally impressive as Claes Lindgren advanced to the individual finals with a time of 1:54.84 in the 200 IM. Lindgren placed seventh in that event and went on to win the consolation finals. Junior Adam Gaffcy, who has been nationally ranked in two events this season, finished sixth in the 500 free. Pirate senior Richard Chen reached the final round, while ECU's Matt Jabs was the men's high scorer. Jabs placed fourth in the 50 free and grabbed ninth in the 200 free. "My head was really into the meet and I was shocked at how relaxed I was Chen said.

The ECU men looked at last weekend's meet as a chance to get some experience for some of the lesser known runners. "It was more of a work meet said Bill Carson, ECU head men's track coach. "We used it to work the kids who don't get to run much In addition to using the meet as an opportunity to use some of the less experienced runners, the meet was also a chance to get an early look at ECU's conference competi- tion. "We should be headed for fourth or third in the conference. I don't know if we will sweep the sprints again, but it gives us a good picture of things Carson said. ECU got strong performances from their runners in the 200-meter dash. James Alexander placed sec- ond in the 200 and qualified for the IC4As, while teammates Darrick Ingram and Darius Chisholm fin- ished 14th and 15th respectively. In the 400, Ingram placed sec- ond and ECU's Darren Tuitt fin- ished 11th. Lyn Stewart won the 500 in a time of 1:04.51. Fellow sprinter, Vaughn Monroe, placed fifth in the 60.

Intomation "We knew it would be a hard meet and we gave it everything we had The men's 200 free relay team finished fifth with a time of 1:27.21, to lead all other ECU men's relays. William Hayes was the Pirates' only diver to reach the finals as he placed sixth on the men's one-meter board. "Both teams swam very well Kobe said. "The guys are young and we expect to be right back on top next year ' Neither the men's nor women's teams had individual qualifiers for the NCAA Championships to be held in March. However, the 3?l women's 400-meter medley and 400-meter freestyle relay teams qualified for senior nationals, The 400 medley relay team of Nikki Kreel, Carnmy Crossen, Hollie Butler and Amy Hendrick act a new school record with a time of 3:5535, while finishing third over- all. The CAA Conference Championships wrapped up the '99 season for the ECU swim teams as the men posted a 5-5 record overall and the women finished 8- 2. Pirate swimmers will enjoy a much deserved break before beginning pre-season training and returning to the water. "We had a great season Kobe said. "Next, we look to have a big recruiting year for the fall Let's meet again in the final Pirates hope for another upset Mario Scherhaufer sports editor The dancing of the Pure Gold Dance Team was the only perfor- mance that deserved the big crowd at Minges Saturday night. But, over 7,000 people didn't come just to get entertained by the dance team that night. They came to see Alico Dunk, in his last home game as a Pirate, lead the team in getting their revenge against their rival Seahawks from Wilmington. Everybody was ready, except the players. The play of the day was made by ECU's Neil Punt, acci- dentally or ironically with his back to the basket. Don't get me wrong here, he deserved that shot, because he really played a good game that night. The rest of the team , leadership qualities included, couldn't convince me and most of the other fans. Inconsistency, it seems, would be the keyword to describe the Pirate season so far. Big upsets, like the win at Old Dominion were followed by losses at home, like the one on Saturday. Speaking of ODU, who beat the Seahawks in their regular season finale at home 63-53, they are the next opponent for Dooley's team coming this Friday at the first round in the conference tourna- ment. If the seventh-seed Pirates can upset the second-seed Monarchs, they could silence all their critics, including myself. Furthermore, they could advance in the tournament, beat Richmond again on Saturday, and ultimately beat the Seahawks in the final game on Sunday night and advance to the NCAA. Anyway, in my opinion, the key to a win over the Monarchs is Evaldas Joeys, in my opinion. By averaging 13 points and 53 rebounds since his return from the injury list, he has been the most consistent player for ECU this sea- son. Another big factor is rebound- ing, where the team started out really well earlier this season, but slacked toward the end. The Pirates have been out-rebounded in five of the past six games but, all in all, still beat 18 of their 26 oppo- nents in rebound figures. Nevertheless, another basket- ball season is almost history and the team still has a chance to finish the season on a strong note by showing us that this wasn't the real Pirate team we saw at Minges on Saturday. Wood deserts Fluff to help friend with school CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) Tiger Woods sees the Match Play Championship as a chance to help a friend pay for medical school - even if that means leaving Fluff Cowan off the bag this week with a $1 million first prize on the line. For the second time in three weeks, Woods' popular and proven caddie - a Winslow, Maine, native - will be staying home. In his place is Bryon Bell, a 23-year-old college graduate who is trying to get in to medical school. "It's a chance to help put a guy through medical school Woods said Wednesday. "I feel pretty good about having a chance to do that" Cowan was the longtime cad- die for Peter Jacobsen, then took Woods' bag when he turned pro after winning his third straight U.S. Amateur. Woods won twice in just eight starts, then soared to the top of golf by winning the masters and three other tourna- ments. Woods said he's not having any problems with Cowan, and said Cowan didn't mind taking the week off. "He's been taken pretty good care of Woods, said. Woods has won nearly $6 mil- lion alone in the PGA Tour, mean- ing Cowan has probably earned close to $600,000 in less than three years as his caddie. Bell and Woods have been friends since junior high school, and they played high school golf together in Cypress, Calif. He recendy graduated from the University of California-San Diego and has applications out to several medical schools. That Woods would use a friend as a caddie in a major event is sur- prising, although Woods says Bell has a good track record. For one thing, Bell was on the bag in the Buick Invitational, when Woods eagled the last hole for a two- stroke win over Billy Ray Brown and his first victory in nine months. Bell also caddied for him when Woods won the Southern California Amateur, and U.S. "It's a chance to help put a guy through medical school Tiger Woods Pro Golfer ?Copyright 1999.

"Being 4-0, I'd say that's a pretty good record Bell was stepping off the yardage Tuesday at La Costa Resort, but said he doesn't get too involved with club selection. A vic- tory by Woods, ranked No. 1 in the world, would be worth about $100,000 to Bell and probably take care of medical school costs. Woods earned $486,000 for winning the Buick Invitational, and Bell put tuition and cost-of-living for four years of school at about $150,000. Cowan was on the bag last week when Woods finished two strokes behind winner Ernie Els, but Bell Wrestling conduct seen as nsque NEW YORK (AP) A study has found that a popular cable televi- sion's wrestling show is packed with obscene gestures, crotch-grabbing, satanic rituals?and a bit of actual wrestling. A detailed Indiana University investigation of 50 "WWF Raw" episodes last year on the USA net- work turned up a staggering amount of profane or risque inci- dents and an average of less than 36 minutes of wrestling in a two-hour show. Researchers counted 1,658 instances of a character grabbing or pointing to their own crotch or roughly eight every 30 minutes, not counting the slow-motion instant replays. "I could see where an adult would be very concerned with the frequency at which these behaviors were aired, particularly at this time of day Walter Gantz, professor at Indiana's Department of Telecommunications, said Monday. The show is on from 9 to 11 p.m. ET on Mondays. For the past year, wrestling pro- grams on USA or TNT have consis- tently been among the highest- rated shows each week on basic cable. But they're far from the goofy fun of the old days. The syndicated news show inside Edition" commissioned the Indiana University study for a two- part report airing this week Reporter Matt Meagher said he became interested in studying wrestling when his wife, a middle SfECAIUTVWWM 0wnvm HIP'1 14 ThMfrtiy. fttfuw 2t. KM sports Thl Ent Carolinian McGwire, Sosa will be opening challenges for Brewers PHOENK (AP) Getting pic ked as an opening day starter will pre- sent a special challenge for Milwaukee Brewers pitchers this year. The Brewers open the season April 5 in St. Louis, where they will encounter a packed house and Cardinals strongman Mark McGwire, coming off his record 70- homer season. In their home open- er, April 16 at County Stadium, the Brewers will play host to rival Chicago and McGwire's runner-up, Sammy Sosa, who had 66 homers last season. "Pick your poison said left- hander ScottKarl, who is expected to make at least one of the inaugur- al starts this spring. "They are both going to be exciting games played in front of big crowds. If you start the first game, you have to face McGwire. If you start the home opener, you get " really don't have a prefer- ence.

I'll pitch whenever I'm told to pitch Cable TV continued from page 13 Brewers manager Phil Gamer hasn't decided on a final rotation because he doesn't know whether Cal Eldred will be ready to open the season. Eldred, who missed the end of last season with a bro- ken arm, underwent arthroscopic surgery during the winter and began camp on restricted duty. He played catch for 15 minutes on Monday, but isn't expected to throw off a mound for about 10 days. Right now, Gamer expects his rotation to include Kari, Steve Woodard, Jim Abbott and Bill Pulsipher and either Eldred, Rafael Roque or Brad Woodall in SEE BREWERS PAGE 15 Night fenvilleNC , unset Strip! he Hottest Men in America dels & Playgirl Centerfolds s some of your Favoritesl Always Someone New!

Researchers counted 157 instances of wrestlers or audience members making an obscene ges- ture and 434 times when people either said a sexually charged slogan or displayed one on a handmade sign. There were 128 episodes of sim- ulated sexual activity and 47 refer- ences to satanic activity. One seg- ment featured people supposedly draining blood from a "dead" wresder and drinking it, Gantz said. There were also 609 instances of wrestlers or others being struck by objects like garbage cans or night- sticks. "Somehow they managed not to hurt each other Gantz said.

The configuration of the schedule makes it unlikely that the same pitcher will start both games. "Sometimes, we make too much about who starts opening day Gamer said. "Your top three pitchers arc going to get the same amount of starts in a season. It doesn't matter when they get them One thing Gamer may want to consider is Karl's performance against the clubs in question. In four games against the Cardinals, Karl posted an 0-4 record and a 6.46 earned run average. Against the Cubs, he started twice and did not earn a decision. His ERA, however, was 2.70. Woodard made three starts against St. Louis last season and was 2-1 with a 5.50 ERA. In 18 innings, he recorded 29 strikeouts. Woodard has no track record against the Cubs, the only National League team he didn't face last year. Who said you couldn't find a meal for a SI anymore?

The members of SGA are elected by their peers to serve in the best interest of the students. The goal of the 1998-1999 executive council was just that, to serve the students interests no matter the cost. We have fought many fights, won some and lost some, but we hopefully have been able to leave this place better than we found it. One of the most exciting programs that SGA has created this year, with the assistance of the Department of Leadership Development, is the Walter L Williams Leadership Scholarship. This scholarship rewards incoming freshmen that have exhibited leadership ability during high school. The program will promote leadership training and other aspects of being an effective leader. Due to the lack of such a scholarship, SGA decided to pursue the program in an effortto Mian unclaimed niche in scholarship programs. Later this month, the SGA executive council wilt represent East Carolina at a rational SGA conference in College Station, TX. Representatives from hundreds of campuses across the country vM be in attendance. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to attend such a prestigious conference an effort to learn innovative ideas that will assist in our quest here at our university.

"It's so great that ECU is jumping on the swing band- wagon says the Reverend Scott Wilkinson, whose Tuesday night swing lessons at the Methodist Student Center draw huge crowds of students eager to learn the East Coast swing, a style which later evolved into shag. Professional instructors Debbie Ramsey and Wesley Boz of Raleigh's Mad About Dance Academy will teach beginning and intermediate classes in East Coast swing on Saturday afternoon. Ramsey is currently the world swing champion and has been rated the top U.S. female swing instructor for the past three years. She plays a key role in the revival of swing.

I will not waste your oh-so-precious time this week reviewing a CD from a band that you have n't heard of and don't care about No, 1 feel bound by my high-paying (not really) job here at The Fountainheaii to show you the light and expose you to musk that you may already possess and just forgot you had. I want to make you fondly remember the album's greatness. So, instead of writing a review of a new CD, I am going to go out on a limb and review an old one, one with flair and gumption. One with a naked monkey adorned by a halo on the cover. We can all remember way back in the day when fluffy pop music was cool and we thought Poison was just the greatest thing since sliced bread. Ah, the ignorance of youth. I mean, with bands like The Escape Club singing horrifically insignificant songs like "Wild, Wild West it is easy to over- look the really classic albums of the 80s. Such is the case with the ultra-cool 1989 album Doolittk by the Pixies. The disc contains 15 songs that actu- ally rock, not the watered down sy nth-pop that was blaring on the radios of America's youth. It was an album that was literally at least 10 years ahead of its time. If released today, the album would be right alongside discs from Fugazi, Sonic Youth and maybe even Liz Phair. It was actually, if I dare say this about anything emerging from the 80s, a good album. Every song is a possible classic. Singable without being cheesy, hard without giving you a headache, it is truly a work of art. Standouts on the album are few because each and every song shines in its own little ' way. The CD begins on a great note with the songentitled"Debaserf The intro leads you to believe that it is just another mellow jam but when the vocals kick in, you are grabbed by the throat and taken to a land of pure rock adrenaline. The song takes on a menacing tone without turning off your interest Another really good song is the simple, yet driven song "Wave of Mutilation I know it sounds a little too Manson-esque but it really is a floating, operatic blend of scratchy guitars and light but steady drum work. Songs like these make me wonder where our values were back then. I mean, how can a frivo- lous song like "With Every Beat of My Heart" by Taylor Dayne (don't even pretend you don't remember that song) get more airplay in 1989 that any song from this album?! It just isn't fair. As far as singling out the best tracks, II do it like this: there are 15 songs and 111 put down the track numbers for only the best songs. They are: 1- 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15. They all kick ass (sorry, I had to put in at least one bad word.) In other words, if you have the CD, break it out and relive what you may or may not have forgotten and if you don't have the disc, put down your "Disco Biscuits" or Trinket" albums, get off your lazy rear end, run to CD Alley and get some real music.

February 25,1999 MwfeReview Bring plenty of tissues for "Message in a Bottle" Ryan Kennemur Movie person It's every woman's fantasy to find the one man out there that is emotional- ly and physically (albeit balding) perfect. The one that only comes to them in dreams or when they are kissing the man that they are cur- rently with. Well, apparently this can happen, and it does in "Message in a Bottle the newest weeper to hit the silver screen. A journalist named Theresa (played by Robin Wright-Penn) goes to New England to drop off her son with her ex-husband. While there, she goes jogging down the beaches, and hap- pens upon a bottle with note inside in which a sailor named "G" says all grades of sweet and caring things to an obviously deceased "true love Theresa takes this note back to Chicago and shares it with all of her cubicle-mates, who chip in their help to find this "G" character. She quickly finds out, through com- puter-tracking tedinology and the help of others, that the man lives on the Outer Banks of North Carolina (ifs really filmed in Maine, though), so she toddles on down there under the front that she is going to write a story about him. She meets him and finds out that his name is Garrett (Kevin Costner),and of course falls in km. Things are ? notallpeas I andcarrots, though.

Movie, continued from page 2 flips out, but his love for the new woman in his life allows him to look past this incident. Theresa goes back to Chicago with the story that there isn't a story at all, only a poor man whose wife died. Garrett then returns to his work on designing his own boat a project that he had put aside when his wife became ill A few weeks later, Garrett flies to Chicago for a visit During this time, Garrett glances in one of Theresa's dresser drawers to find the notes that he had written, and feel- ing that he'd been lied to, goes home to the Outer Banks. If I told you any- thing else, the whole movie would be ruined. I will tell you this. The end- ing is not the standard romantic drama fare. "Message in a Bottle" is a pretty good movie for what it is, namely a tear-jerker. The acting is good enough, especially Paul Newman as Garrerfs cantankerous father, Dodge. Costner has needed something like this to bring back his image, espe- cially after that three-hour mess called "The Postman Let's hope that Hollywood takes this as a sign that movies dorf t have to have the popu- lar ending to be a good story. At any rate, it may be a good idea to get some stock in Kleenex while this movie's still in theaters. VkleoReview "Kentucky Fried Movie" Ryan (Tyrone) Kennemur Video lover and all around good guy "Kentucky Fried Movie" The Zucker brothers are well-known throughout the world as the comedic geniuses behind such films as "Airplane" and the "Naked Gun" series. Not too many people are aware that before any of those films came out, the Zuckers made comedy history with the "Kentucky Fried Movie The Zuckerman talent for spoof is aptly demonstrated in this film, a series of sketches that spoof the com- mon media of the early 1970's, includ- ing disaster films, karate flicks, porno, news shows, commercials and "how- to" record albums. While many of the jokes are now dated and trapped in the era during which they were spoofed, much of the basic humor gets through and is still applicable today. Some of the classic movie spoofs feature numerous "Samuel L Bronkowitz" films, like "That's Armageddon" and "Catholic High School Girts in Trouble which is chock full of gratu- itous nudity and "high-larity Not one media cliche gets by the writers as they exploit and farcify things we hare taken for granted. Other memorable skits include the great "How to Make Love" scene, in which two lovers listen to a record that tells them how to have sex in a step- by-step manner. By the end, the two are about to perform the sex act, but the male experiences premature ejacu- lation.

Perhaps the band should change ils name to Far Too Typical. There is talent to be spent and it is quite possible that Far Too Jones will find success, but as for North Carolina the influx of Fxtwin McCain rip-off bands like these are begin- ning to beat a dead horse.

ODDITIES Man spends $16,000 on OJ. memorabilia to burn DENVER (AP) A Denver web site operator and former talk-show host says he spent $16,000 buying 0.1. Simpson memorabilia at the Los Angeles auction and plans to burn it alL In an interview with a Los Angeles television station Tuesday night, Bob Enyart said he purchased the items because "we wanted people to know that 0.J. Simpson is a murderer Enyart said he raised the money from visitors to his Web site, ShadowGov.com. "V stand for our governing leaders to acknowledge publicly that our crimi- nal justice system is a complete fail- ure he said. "We do not have the best criminal justice system in the world Among the Simpson memorabilia Enyart successfully bid on were a $10,000 Hall of Fame plaque and two No. 32 jerseys. The auction raised $430,000, a frac- tion of the $33.5 million Simpson owes the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman for their 1994 slayings. The auction resulted from a civil wrongful death suit in which a jury found Simpson liable for the killings of Ms. Simpson and Goldman. Simpson was acquitted of murder in an earlier criminal trial. Ex-boyfriend kidnaps kitty EUGENE, Ore. (AP) A kidnapped kitty was back with its owner Wednesday after a man tried to hold it hostage for information about his ex-girlfriend's whereabouts. The cat's owner told police that Michael Jeffrey Warren, 28, knocked on her door and asked where his ex- girlfriend was staying. The woman wouldn't tell him. Soon after, she said, Warren Called and told her he'd taken her white cat, Buddy, and wanted to know where his ex was before he'd give the cat back. The woman called police. Officer Bill Solesbee found Buddy inside Warren's 1978 Firebird. According to Solesbee's report, Warren claimed the cat was part his because his ex-girlfriend had given it to it's present owner. He said his ex owed him money and that he planned to keep the cat until she paid him. Warren was lodged in the Lane County Jail on a charge of first-degree theft. Bail was set at $30,000. Doctor's relatives mummified MOSCOW (AP) A Kazak doctor has been charged with murder after police found the mummified bodies of four of the woman's relatives in her apartment, a news report said Friday. The bodies were discovered after a police officer on a routine inspection noticed a strange smell and went to examine the apartment, the ITAR- Tass news agency reported. One of the mummies was lying in a cardboard box, and three more were seated against a wall, the report said. The owner of the apartment, a doctor by training whose name was not pro- vided, told police that she didn't have the money to bury her mother and three sisters who died of an unspeci- fied disease last summer, so instead she used her medical knowledge to mummify the bodies. Doctors in Kazakstan, a former Soviet republic in Central Asia, are usually state employees and get meager salaries. But police have accused the woman of murder, and plan to conduct a foren- sic examination to determine the cause of death, the report said.
