hen graduation day arrives, students will find that one important piece of information is
W absent from the diploma they've worked years to get-their major.
ECU diplomas are awarded to students according to their degrees (such as a bache-
lor of science or bachelor of art), not by their major area of study.
"After it was checked into, we found that 75 percent of all colleges and universities
in the United States do not print specific majors on diplomassaid Dr. Jim Smith, exec-
utive assistant to the Chancellor.
"When I was Department Chairman, I called down to the Registrar to ask him that
very same question in 1976 Smith said. "The answer and the reason for it is still the
same as it was then. I do know that this is a very old and pressing issue. If enough interest was
demonstrated, change might be made
Degrees must be approved by Chancellor Eakin, the Board of Governors and the state.
"When we print a diploma we are announcing to the world the degree that you have received,
not the major said Chancellor Eakin.
"Majors have not been printed during my
tenor here. I am not sure about before that"
Though opinions vary, ECU officials
agree that a student's college transcript is
more important than the diploma.
"This issue comes up every four or five
years said Gilbert Moore of the registrar
office. "The diploma does not show the
major, it is only a piece of paper. A diploma
reflects the degree that a student earned, not
the accomplishments they made. That's the
way it has always been. A transcripts reflects
exactly what the student has done and
achieved
"Employers do not usually mind if the
major is or is not on the diploma. They are
mainly interested in the transcript said Roy
Carroll, senior vice president for Academic
Affairs at UNC-Chapel Hill. "Anyone can
buy or print a diploma, the transcript is the
official document of a graduate
Angela Anderson of the registrar office
agreed.
"The diploma is decorative, while the
transcript is official. It shows your minor,
grades, classes and all of your accomplish-
ments she said.
"I know that Penn. State used to print
majors on their diplomas. I am not sure about
the North Carolina universities Smith said.
"I could not agree more that is should defi-
nitely be on the diplomas. It is important"
Connie Blake, of the Office of Enrollment
Verification, said, "I know that UNC-Chapel
Hill tried to get the names of specific majors
printed on their diplomas, but too much con-
fusion was caused. I do not think they will try
it again
Carroll explained that academic majors
were printed on their diplomas last spring.
However, so much time was involved in the
process that some diplomas are still not ready.
"Some institutions do print majors and
some do not. About as many do that do not
Even the prestigious institutions do not
always print the majors on their diplomas
Carroll said. "Many North Carolina universi-
ties do not do it simply because it is a pain in
the neck
He added that many technical difficulties
are encountered when placing majors on
diplomas, such as students who are double
majors. Usually there is not enough space to
fit both majors on a diploma. Since more
space would be needed, bigger diplomas
would have to be ordered. This would end
up costing hundreds of dollars.
Also, a student might fall behind in the
studies and may not be able to complete their
major.
Students' opinions varied on the issue.
Sophomore Elizabeth Pierce said, "If you
work hard enough to obtain what you want to
do in life, it should be written in print for
everyone to see
"I don't like the idea because your
employer should know what your concentra-
tion was in college said freshman, Renee
Licata.
Freshman Noah Freeze agreed with the
current policy.
"I do not think it should be on there
because your employer should have a reason
to hire you other than just your diploma he
said.
Sophomore Yaria Thompson said, "I do
not think it is necessary. I'll just be happy to

Duke 27-9
Pirate defense keeps
Devils out of end zone

SPORTS EDITOR
ECU's defense shut down the
Duke offense in the second half,
leading to the 27-9 victory in
ECU's 1999 home opener.
The Pirates held the Blue
Devils to three Sims Lenhardt
field goals in the first half and no
points in the second.
"East Carolina's defense hurt
us today said Duke head coach
Carl Franks. "We will not win if we
do not put the ball in the end zone.
We cannot kick three field goals
and win games. We need to score
touchdowns in order to win. East
Carolina was just better than us
today
In front of the largest crowd in
Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium history,
ECU hosted their first ACC oppo-
nent since Wake Forest in 1997.
Duke quarterback Spencer
Romine was pressured all day.
Romine was sacked three times
and eventually had to leave the
game in the fourth quarter with an
injured shoulder.
"Every time he threw it he was
getting hit it seemed like said
ECU head coach Steve Logan. "I
never saw the young man finish a
throw where he wasn't getting hit
before he threw it That takes a
toll
The Pirate offense stepped up
in the second half. Duke's vaunted
front seven held ECU to 15 yards
rushing in the first half.
'They were good, they were
big said Jamie Wilson, ECU run-
ning back. "Their linebackers
were fast. They came out and con-
centrated on stopping us in the
first half, and that's exacdy what
they did. We broke off a couple big
runs, but they were in there
After halftime, ECU gained 178
yards on the ground. Wilson ended
the game with 77 yards rushing
and the Pirates ended with 193
total yards on the ground.
To start the game, the team's
traded turnovers. Romine threw
an Interception to Forrest Foster
and a Marcellus Harris fumble
gave the ball back to Duke. A Sims
Lenhardt field goal with 4:09
remaining in the first quarter put
Duke on top 3-0.

Nsxt year's freshmen will be eligible to skip placement tests for graduate medical programs.
PH0I0 BY WILLIAM KEITH
A guaranteed spot for graduate pro-
grams in medicine, physical thera-
py and occupational therapy is now
possible for incoming freshmen
beginning Fall 2000.
ECU will offer a new program
which allows a number of incoming
freshman assured admission into
graduate programs. Selected stu-
dents for the program must main-
tain at least a 3.5 GPA and fulfill
any other traditional premed
requirements.
This would then exempt them
from the usual standardized tests
such as the Graduate Record Exam
or the Medical College Admissions
Test.
The new program was begun by
the Board of Trustees. Director of
Admissions Dr. Thomas Powell,
Assistant Dean of Medical School
Admissions Dr. Jim Peden, Vice
ChancellorProfessor of Academic
Affairs Dr. Richard Ringeisen and
Dean of Allied Health Dr. Harold
Jones were just a few who took part
in die creation of the program.
"The program is designed to
make ECU even more attractive to

who want to pursue a health-care

Protective gloves are necessary

French fight to keep English off the Net fe? pioat
PARIS (AP)As a giant clock on
the Eiffel Tower ticks away the
remaining days of the 20th century,
some French lobbyists are scram-
bling to ensure that cyberspace
doesn't leave their language in the
dustbin of history.
; For years, staunch defenders of
the French language have battled
fo stem what they see as an
American invasion of their culture,
successfully passing a series of laws
limiting tire presence of American
songs and shows in French media.
; Now they're seeking to limit the
isc of English on what they see as
die newest threat: the Internet.
"The Internet must have laws
governing it. It cannot be a savage
world where everybody can do as
they please said Marceau
Dechamps, a retired worker in the
technology industry who now is
vice president of the group
Defense of the French Language.
Dechamps, whose group has
successfully sued companies for
using English while advertising in
France, maintains current laws
aimed at preserving the French
language should apply to Internet
sites as well.
Although his group has only
been involved in one Internet-
related court case so far, he foresees
further legal action.
Dechamps' group, in coopera-
tion with another watchdog associ-
ation, spurred debate when they
brought a 1997 lawsuit against the
Georgia Institute of Technology's
campus in Met Franee, for creat-
ing an English-language Website.
The group said that because the
web site was created in France, it
was therefore advertising in
France, and thus subject to French
law.
A French court ruled in Georgia
lech's favor, but because of faulty-
legal procedure on the plaintiffs'
part, leaving open the question of
linguistic obligations on the Web.

The judge allowed the eaves-
dropping microphone to remain in
place for 90 days, according to court
records. The alleged conversations
are included in a federal indictment
issued Thursday against Marlene
and Steven Aisenberg.
Mrs, Aisenberg ' allegedly
blamed husband Steven for killing
baby Sabrina. She's quoted as say
ing: "The baby's dead and buried!
It was found deail because you did
it according to the indictment.
Authorities have not recovered
the baby's body but fear she is dead
and accuse'the Aisenbergs of faking
her kidnapping on Nov. 24, 1997, to
cover up the slaying.
The Aisenbergs have not been
charged with murder or kidnapping
but allegedly talked about what to

ping, according to the indictment.
Itie Aisenbergs' told authorities
Sabrina vanished from her crib as
they slept.
Aisenberg was heard telling his

$9 million 1-95 link rejected
in Gov. Hunt's home county
CHARLOTTE (AP)?Federal
highway officials have rejected a
request for a controversial highway-
interchange in the home county of
Gov. Jim Hunt.
The Federal Highway
Administration determined that
there was not enough traffic on a
quiet rural road in Wilson County
to justify spending up to $H million
to link it to Interstate 5.
The proposed interchange won
priority status on the state's list of
road-building projects six years ago
after I hint pressed Wilson commu-
nity leaders' requests upon the
state Department of
Transportation.

In January, state transportation
officials gave an environmental
green light to the proposed I lornes
(lliurch Road interchange, saying it
would enhance growth in the area
and reduce traffic volume at adja-
cent interchanges on l-?5 by 25
percent.
But Voelker said the state's own
projections through 2020 appear to
confirm that the road will likely not
have enough traffic to justify the
interchange.
Homes Church Road is a two-
lane country road that carries 2,700
cars a day in the northern half of the
county, 50 miles east of Raleigh.
City and county leaders in
Wilson said Tuesday that they
already have asked I hint to appeal
the decision to the highway admin-
istration's headquarters in
Washington. They said traffic pro
jections are speculative and not a
strong enough reason to kill the

was a university decision.
ECU plans on selecting a group
of top North Carolina seniors who
know they want to be doctors or
physicaloccupational therapists
and are w illing to make a long-term
commitment before college.
Students' chances of getting
into the program depend on tradi-
tional requirements such as grades,
SAT scores, essays, teacher recom-
mendations and extracurricular
activities.
If selected, the upcoming fresh-
men are invited to the University
in March for a Scholarship
Competition Weekend. During the
weekend, students undergo inter-
views discussing what they want to
major in and why. Contestants are
judged and scholarship winners are
decided.
Up to four students per year will
be awarded places in the medical
school program and physical thera-
py; five per year will be accepted
into the occupational therapy pro-
gram.
"The students' will be freed
from the pressures of seeking
admission to graduate programs,
and the University will gain more

said. "We are looking forward to

If you want a guaranteed spot in medical school, ECU is the school to
attend. As an entering freshman, you can earn your spot in graduate pro-
grams with your SAT score, GPA and extracurricular activities. We at TEC
think this may be a misguided attempt on the part of the ECU administra-
tion to lure more academically gifted freshman into ECU to boost the over-
all GPA.
If a normal student wanted to enter any other medical school, he or she
would have to earn an excellent and seemingly unattainable GPA, not to
mention a great deal of extracurricular achievements and a good MCATS
score. Recently, Administration has decided to change the requirements.
They are no longer the same for all students. Now, those who are part of the
special freshman program are guaranteed a spot if they fulfill these require-
ments. Anyone else has to go above and beyond to compete for the spots
that are left over.
One would think a future doctor should be pushed to excel in all things. If
they can't make the cut in college by their own merit and the hard work and
perseverance of their first four years against competition from anyone, why
do they think that they can live through medical school, much less their res-
idency? Doctors do sensitive work, and even the smallest lack of dedication
may cause a mistake.
This move may improve the academic caliber of students in undergraduate
school, but what about graduate school? If some students do not have to
make it through the same rigorous challenges as the rest, will they have the
same passion and need to succeed? That may be just a speculation, but peo-
ple always work harder in a position that they earn rather than one that they
were given.
There is no doubt that this move will benefit the GPA of ECU's under-
graduate school and bring more academically gifted students to ECU, but
beyond that, what does this mean for the future of the medical profession?
If more medical schools do this, is the intense competition for a spot in a
good school going to disappear? Are future doctors going to lie overachiev-
ers in high school and then simply maintain their status through college?
Will the best of the best become those who can afford to go to a college with
a medical school? In every decision, both the positive and the negative
should be considered. Maybe this program of medical school acceptance
will be integrated into medical schools nation-wide, but will the general
public benefit? Maybe this view is from a slightly paranoid perspective, but
we cannot afford to cut back the standards of those who are to enter the
medical profession. Only the best should triumph; mediocrity is not accept-
ed here.
Stadium alcohol rules hard to enforce
The problem is that hiding
people out of a game at this
school serves absolutely no
purpose and is definitely by no
means a deterrent for it hap-
pening in the future.
It is no secret that a football
game at East Carolina University is
very chaotic. The tailgates, the stu-
dents, the fans, and the town of
Greenville in general all contribute
to the atmosphere that makes this
school and its football season
famous?despite how famously the
team actually performs.
It is very interesting, however,
that there is a whole show that
takes place, and sometimes prece-
dent, over the actual game itself.
This lastly growing phenomenon is
"getting kicked out of the stadium
for possessing and consuming alco-
hol It is not unique only to ECU,
but it occurs in droves throughout
the entire game?from kickoff
until the end of the fourth quarter.
The problem is that kick-
ing people out of a game at this
school serves absolutely no purpose
and is definitely by no means a
deterrent for it happening in the
future.
First of all, the whole process of
the police coming up the stairs,
pointing out the poor person, grab-
bing them out of their seats, and
escorting them out, is such a dis-
traction that those who are watch-
ing the game are the ones really
punished.
Second, the large cost that is
incurred to rent the cops, monitor,
and police the premises is not pro-
portionate to what all of that activi-
ty accomplishes.
Thirdly, and most importantly,
getting thrown out of a game now is
a joke, mainly because there is no
negative reinforcement once the
person is caught. Honestly, the con-
sensus is that someone getting
thrown out is amusing to watch.
During the last game, a student,
who prefers to remain anonymous,
was spotted with airplane bottles in
his pocket. (How the police saw
that is remarkable, but rather
eerie). In true ECU fashion, a large
group of police run up the stadium
and make a huge scene. The stu-
dent, readily admitted his guilt, and
then led the whole seating section
to cheer for him. I bet he'll never
carry alcohol into a game again,
right? That's the whole point. ECU
is not preventing or deterring the
behavior they deem so heinous. In
fact, it probably encourages the
behavior.
It is understandable that some
form of crowd control is necessary
for safety and liability reasons, but
inconsistent and ineffective polic-
ing makes a mockery of both the
rules and rule enforcement associ-
ated with the stadium regarding
alcohol.
Unless different tactics are used
or different standards are formed,
the possession and consumption of
alcohol during the game will con-
tinue.

Kids need time to be kids
Kids are getting smarter and
smarter and not experiencing
an actual childhood, so they'd
rather stay inside on the
Internet and play fantasy foot-
ball instead of the real thing.
Well, here we are again. It's a beau-
tiful Sunday afternoon in mid
September, not a cloud tarnishes
the sky. Our ECU football team has
just beaten the snot out of those
preppie people, and the overall
mood surrounding me is just pure
unadulterated relaxation. The
breeze makes one reminisce of the
summer days, drifting away (oh-oh)
to those sum-mer-er nights.
Some people may think this is
childish, but I really do miss the
summertime. Not that I actually
"miss" it as in "hibernate through
it but as in the feeling that I used
to have when I was younger.
Remember that feeling? That
whole "I am going to the pool
everyday for eleven hours and
there isn't anything you can do
about it" feeling? You didn't have a
job or anything like that to hold you
down, unless you had a father like
mine who liked to periodically give
out little random chores like "clean
the garage, give the dog a bath,
help me kill this snake etc.
I have worked at a summer
camp for the past couple of years,
and I'm here to tell you that kids
today have no idea how to spend a
summer. It's like they're not even
kids at all.
I worked with the fourth and
fifth graders, but they all acted like
they were in the working world
with degrees in not peeing their
pants. Just imagine a fwtrth grader
using the word "illogical" in com-
mon conversations. Grtnted, they
used it in reference to Pokemon,
but just the fact that they talk that
way bothers me.
Now some people might see this
whole "children learning to do long
division while technically still in
the womb" idea as progress, but I
see it as, urn, congress. Kids are get-
ting smarter and smarter and not
experiencing an actual childhood,
so they'd rather stay inside on the
Internet and play fantasy football
instead of the real thing. And the
parents just push them because
they want their kid to be knowl-
edgeable about computers so that
they will be prepared for the tech-
nology-driven future.
But what happens with that is'
that the kids, instead of becoming
well-respected members of society
become bug-eyed hackers with the
people skills of a rabid wombat in a
hurricane.
So this is a message for parents,
or would-be parents. Tell your kid
no, FORCE your kid to go out-
side and play. If it's the difference
between him growing up to be
president maybe that's not a
great example. More like the dif-
ference between growing up to be a
teacher and growing up to be "Sir

Judicial by-pass offers help for teens
The answer to the almighty
abortion question is this: it is
your choice what to do.
Clearly, if a girl has been
raped she should be allowed to
have one at any age, but what
about the girls that have con-
sen tual sex and get pregnant?
What if the girl is underage
This is where it gets touchy.
It happens to people on contracep-
tives and to people having sex for
the first time. Even if you think
that because you're extra-careful it
won't happen to you it can.
Pregnancy can be a beautiful
tiling that happens to the right cou-
ple at the right time, but this is not
always the case.
The questions of the appropri-
ateness of the couple and timeli-
ness must be addressed. Many
people have been dating since high
school or even before then. It is not
uncommon to have premarital sex
these days for pleasure; not for the
usual baby-making purpose it has
been reserved for during the past
million years. With this practice
there are consequences. What will
you do if it happens to you?
This is a very tough question.
Recently, I had a friend go through
this ordeal. They had been going
together for a while and they were
having sex. As soon as they began
to have intercourse they went to
the doctor to get birth control.
While they were waiting for the
appointment day, they had inter-
course using a condom. This was
their usual practice and they
thought they had taken precautions
and were in control.
When it came time to actually
get the pills and go on them, they
waited for the period that never
came. The young lady was 16-
years-old and pregnant. While they
had talked about what to do before
they ever started doing anything,
they never thought they would be
seriously confronted with the situa-
tion.
The answer to the almighty
abortion question is this: it is your
choice what to do. Clearly, if a girl
has been raped she should be
allowed to have one at any age, but
what about the girls that have con-
sentual sex and get pregnant? What
if the girl is underage? This is
where it gets touchy.
Given the situation above, what
is right? The couple had a choice
about what to do and they chose
the option I think is right and
would have chosen. They got the
abortion with some help that is lit-
tie known?the judicial by-pass.
This tool allows any girl who is
underage to get the right for an
abortion. Her parents will not
know, her friends won't know, only
the couple involved will. You can
go to the court house and get the by
pass, and for a $210 student rate,
get an abortion. This is an invalu-
able tool, but it needs to be used
with some sense.
If you are serious about the
other person and have monoga-
mous safe sex with them, then you
should be allowed at any age to ter-
minate an unwanted pregnancy.
Some say that you shouldn't be
having sex if you don't want a kid,
but that should be an informed,
individual, decision.
Before 12 weeks, the fetus has
not developed significantly. At nine
weeks, it is only a gram in weight i
and a inch in length. By no means is
this the equivalent of killing a fully-
developed baby. The placenta
doesn't even take over hormone
production until the 12th to 13th
week. So don't feel like a murderer
if you get the abortion early on,
which is recommended. If ever ?
confronted with this situation know
the facts and your rights.

The Buzz on
BEER
Beer is believed to be over
10.000 years old. Some agricultur-
' al historians believe the first beer
may have been produced acciden-
tally when a stash of grain was
soaked by rain and then warmed by
the sun.
There are over 70 styles of beer
available today, each with its own
unique characteristics from its
ingredients and subtle differences
in its brewing process.
In 1995. 880 breweries pro-
duced more than 200 million bar-
rels of beer; on the average, each
adult American consumed nearly
121 liters (32 gallons) of beer in
the United States.
There are four basic ingredients
used when brewing beer: grain,
hops, yeast and water.
Grain contains natural sugars
required for fermentation. It pro-
vides the beer its flavor, color, body
and texture.
Hops are
green cone-
shaped flowers
found on the
hop plant, a
vine related to
the nettle plant.
Hops provide a
spicy, bitter fla-
vor and con-
tribute natural
substances that
prevent bacteria
from spoiling
the beer.
There are two types of yeast
used to make beer: Saccharomyces
cervisiae and Saccharomyces
uvarum (both also known as brew-
er's yeast). Each form of yeast is
used in a different method of fer-
mentation and makes a distinct
type of beer.
Water constitutes as much as
95 percent of the ingredients. The
mineral content in the water influ-
ences the quality and flavor of the
beer.
Dos equis is a popular Spanish
beer that has been brewed in
Mexico for over 100 years. Dos
equis means "two X's" and refers
to the turn of the 20th century.
Holland has been brewing
Heineken beer since 1863. One
year later, in 1864, the Heineken
Brewery was already exporting
their product to the United States.
Corona
has been the
number one
selling beer in
Mexico and
reigns as the
leading export
from Mexico.

"It' s been an uphill battle, without
major resources, to put together a program

"The Religious Studies Committee was unsuc-

In January IWK, the opportunity came to use
the new multidisciplinary pnigram degree to allow
students to concentrate in religion as a major.
Tor various reasons, this is not an ideal way for
students to major in religion Mercer said, "hut for
now it's the only way we have to satisfy students'

K. (iarrison, a professor in the sociology depart-

for debate in all avenues of study (iarrison said.
Classes are taken from a broad curriculum,
including Knglish. sociology, anthropology and
history; each class is also based on certain religious
aspects of that particular concentration.
"(anuses are taught by professors from a variety
of backgrounds, who bring diverse scholarly inter-
est to the subject Mercer said. A sampling of
classes includes Psychology of Religion. Classical
Mythology. History of Religion and Oriental
I .iterature.
The multidisciplinary degree offers students an
opportunity to choose from different avenues of
study. Many who choose theological studies do so
with the intent to later enter the ministry. The
study also involves a strong aspect of individual
study.

to look into themselves (iarrison said. "This pm-

An example of how well the Religious Studies
Program has contributed to the University's tradi-
tion of public outreach and strong regional tics is
the attendance record of the annual Jarvis Lecture

The lecture series is always well-attended by stu-
dents, faculty and members of the surrounding
community.
"One year, we bail more than 400 persons in
attendance from all across the state Mercer said.
This year, the Jarvis Lecture will be on the col-
lected works of Thomas Merton, who was a
Roman Catholic monk and an early proponent of
peace, civil rights and racial inequality. The lec-
ture features guest speaker Lawrence S.
Cunningham, a professor of theology at the
I niversity of Notre Dame and an expert tin the
philosophies of Merton.
The event will take place on Sunday, Oct. ft, at

woman donates kidney
MINNEAPOLIS AI??I he gen-
erous act by a woman who donated
her kidney to a stranger is unlikely
to start a trend that would make a
large dent in the long waiting list
for kidney transplants, experts say.
But the transplant, one of the
few reported procedures in which
neither donor nor recipient knew
each other, is part of the growth of
"unrelated transplantation which
until,a few years ago was almost
unheard of.
An unidentified 50-ycar-old
woman donated a kidney to a
stranger at I'airview-l'niversity
Medical Center at the I 'nivcrsiry of
Minnesota last month. The hospi-
tal announced the procedure
Thursday, after the patients were
released.
The woman who donated the
kidney had a long history of "altru-
istic behaviors said Cheryl Jacobs,
a clinical social worker who
screened the donor. She did it sim-
ply because she knew there was a
long waiting list for donor organs,
said Dr. Arthur Matas, who led the
transplant team.
"I living, unrelated transplanta-
tion is growing in the I'nitcd
States said Dr. William Dennett,
president of the American Society
of Nephrology. "It was always felt
hefyre, why use a living patient
when you could use a cadaver
donor? Hut it turns out the fact that
the.donor is living confers some
advantage
In fact, some argue it could be-
easier for someone to donate an
organ if the donor is not pressured
into the procedure because of fam-
ily ties.
"Family members may not be
all that close, but because they are
relatives, the donor might feel an
underlying obligation to do so
Jacobs said.
Matas said the 407 people on
the kidney transplant waiting list
now have to wait between three
anil five years for a new organ. Two
decades ago, the wait was only
about a year.
I'or that reason, doctors have
been discussing the ethical issues
surrounding unrelated transplants
for years. In 1W8, there were
11,990 kidney transplants per-
formed in the I'nitcd States. Just
over 4,(HH) came from living donors,
and of those. M were unrelated to
the recipients, according to the
I nited Network on Organ Sharing.
I'NOS doesn't keep data on
how many of those came from
strangers, said spokesman Hob
Spieldenner. Matas said he has
only heard of one other such proce-
dure.
Kvcn if the latest procedure
doesn't start a wave of stranger-to-
stranger donations, Jeffrey Kahn.
director of the university's Center
for Hioethics, expects the universi-
ty to perform more such proce-

dures.
The hospital is approached
about a half-doen times a month
by people asking if they can donate
kidneys, but until recently, there
was no system to screen the callers,
identify their true motives and put
their kidney into a pool for recipi-
ents.
"Actually, it was these anony-
mous donors who forced us to
address this issue. They were very
committed to working with us
Jacobs said.
"Insurers likely would not stand
in the way of strangcr-to-strangcr
donations, because kidney dona-
tion is not considered elective
surgery said Karl Oestrich. a
spokesman for Hlue (:ross ami Mine
Shield of Minnesota, who abut said
the procedure is typically paid for
by the recipients' insurance plan.
Hut don't look for public service
announcements asking people to
stop by the local kidney bank after
donating blood, doctors said.
"I wonlil suspect at the very
minimum it would make people
think, and perhaps generate some
additional calls Matas said.
And even if the number of
stranger-to-stranger donations
doesn't increase much, each kid-
ney donation helps.
"Kvcn if one kidney, we get this
way, it's one less person on the
list kahn said. "Kvcn if it's one a

Several controlled studies have
indicated for the first time that the
potential for chemical communica-
tion involving sexual attractiveness
lias been preserved in humans
since the beginning of humanity
In I'WK. a study conducted at
the Athena Institute for Women's
Wellness Research testeil whether
synthesized human male
phenwuoncs increase the socioscx-
ual Iwhavior in men. The results
indicated there was a significantly
larger proportion of sexual inter-
course, sleeping next to a partner,
kissing, hugging, petting and infor-
mal dating than the group using a
placebo.
Additional studies have been
conducted regarding the ability of
the voincninasal system (VNO)?
with a tiny opening located in the
nose?to detect virtually odorless
molecules floating around in the
air. This organ leads directly to the
hypothalamus. which is the basic
seat of every human's emotions.
Research has shown pheminones
produce changes in women's repro-
ductive cycles, which may explain
why some women who live togeth-
er have similar menstrual cycles.
"The evidence has now liceome
ipiite strong that humans produce
and detect pheromoncs said
Kdward Johnson of Idaho State
I'niversity, in a recent article from
the Washington lst. i
I'heromones have lieen docu-
mented in many species, ranging
from insects to elephants. They act
as sex attractants, and can also
serve as a type of natural ID card or
as danger signals. There has always
been the hope that similar chemi-
cal signals exist in humans.
It has long been known that
babies showed a clear preference to
clothing worn by their mothers,
while other research has shown that
men and women choose their
mates in part by "sniffing out"
those with compatible immune
systems.
Androstenol, occurring in
human sweat, was used in a study
involving 76 student volunteers in
British Columbia in I'WI. The
"The evidence has now In-come

Edward Johnson
lilalm Si,He lliiimisiiy
experiment showed that "females
hail increased social exchanges
with males after brief exposure to
Androstenol
Many speculate that
pheromoncs have a direct effect on
human psychology and suggest
that we should therefore reconsider
our heavy use of soaps, perfumes,
colognes, detergents with fra-
grances and another activity that
may disguise our natural attractants
to the opposite sex.
"The constant washing away or
covering up of some of our sweaty
signals may account for some of the
loneliness or depression in modern
society said l.inda buck, of
I larvard I 'niversity.
This belief has Ix'cn promulgat-
ed by individual studies on numer-
ous commercial products that seem
to indicate that pheromone wearers
appear to have a heightened sense
of self-confidence. This is exactly
the claims of one product called
Realm, produced by Krox
Corporation.
Other manufacturers are blatant
with ads: "Attracts women?guar-
anteed "Have any woman you
want?this product should lie ille-
gal and "Instant Sex" are among
some of them.
The caveat is that there are at
least a dozen makers of these prod-
ucts. Several are using pheromoncs
from animals with no proof they
will attract anything but other ani-
mals.
There will lie a pseudo-scientif-
ic study conducted here on campus
within the next two weeks. One
major manufacturer is providing us
with at least MX) samples of their
commercially available product. If
you would like to be a subject for
this study, look for a small table at

"Nobody thought it was going to
Ik easy, but nobody thought it was
going to lie like this said Cow boys
tight end David LaFlcur as he
smiled and shook his head in
amazement, after catching two
touchdown passes.
On the game-winning play, Troy
Aikman faked a hand off while
Ismail sprinted from the right slot
down the center of the field. With
the safeties off balance, Ismail easi-
ly got behind the defense and was
wide open for Aikman's fifth touch-
down pass 4:09 into the extra peri-
od
"The whole objective after the
fake is to see if the safeties had bit-
ten and if Rocket is back there
Aikman said. "When I looked. I
couldn't see any defensive guys
back there. That ball couldn't come
down fast enough into his hands. I

Aikman was 2K-for-49 with 362
yards and three interceptions.

The Cowboys trailed .V5-14
going into the fourth quarter, but
sent the game into overtime on
Michael Irvin's 12-yard reception
with 1:46 left.
The crucial extra point by
Richie Cunningham hit the left
upright before going through.
Washington had a chance to win
the game on the last play of regula-
tion, but holder Matt Turk fumbled
the snap on what would have been
a 41-yard field-goal attempt by
Hrett (!nnw ay.
The loss hit the Redskins hard.
They collapsed in last year's sea-
son-opener against
the New York (liants and then
lost their next six in a row. They
had hoped to put that
behind them while impressing
new owner Dan Snyder.
"I lav iny things fall apart, espe-
cially in a big game like this, it was
a hard loss defensive tackle Dan
Wilkinson said. "We're by no
means going to throw in the towel,
but this hurts right down to your
heart
Corner! i.ick Deion Sanders, who
had toe surgery in April, warmed up
but did not play. With Sanders,
Kevin Smith (back), Leon Lett
(suspension) and Oucntin (loryatt
(Achilles' tendon) missing from
the Dallas defense, Washington
had no problems moving the ball
for three quarters.
The Redskins were in (lowboys
territory on nine of their first 10
offensive possessions, failing to
score onlv when they stopped
themselves. Stephen I )av is and
Hrad Johnson both lost fumbles
inside the Dallas 15 in the first half.
Picking on reserve eornerbaeks
Kevin Mathis and Charlie Williams,
Johnson marked his Redskins
debut by completing 11 of 30 pass-
es for 382 yards with touchdown
throws of 41 yards to Michael
W'estbrook and SO yards to Albert
Council. Davis had his first 100-
yard game, rushing for 109 yards on
24 carries and two touchdowns.
"We felt that if they didn't make
big plays that we would be all
right Williams said. "They made
a couple, but everything worked
out
On their first two possessions,
the Cowboys marched HO and HI
yards for 14 points against a first-
string defense that didn't allow a
touchdown in preseason.
Aikman was as precise as ever,
completing (-of-9 with two drops,
including scoring passes of IS and
14 yards to l.al'leur.
Aikman spent the next two
quarters hurried by the Redskins'
pass rush. The Cowboys
were down .VS-14 before they
finally scored again on Kmmitt
Smith's 1-yard run with 10:4a to go
in the game.
I )allas then recovered an on side
kick, but had to punt. On their next
possession, however, the Cowbovs
drove 66 yards to score on a ,57-yard
touchdown pass to Irvin with .1:51
left, closing to .V5-2N.
Ir in's two IIcatches were one
more than he had all last season.
Three receivers had career highs in

Grand Slam finals in the same year.
No man had fought back to win

best player in the world should. I le
bore down on Martin's serve early
in the fourth set and broke him to
change the tenor of the match.
On one point in that game,
Agassi almost knocked Martin out,
literally, slamming an overhead
from point blank range that missed
Martin's skull by inches.
"I was going to make sure I was
under the net by the time he hit
it Martin said with a laugh. "My
racket was still up there. I think he
dill go for me, but if he had been
more accurate. I think I would
have hit a winner
Martin never recovered.
Though he ran his ace total to IS?
Id more than Agassi?he
never could find a way to break
Agassi's serve. When Agassi's
return clipped the
net cord and handcuffed Martin
to break him again at the end of
the fourth set, the outcome
seemed certain.
Agassi didn't recall any five-set-
ter in which he held his serve
throughout. Hut Martin, who will
move up to No. 4 in the rankings,
knew it was more than Agassi's
serve that beat him.
"More than anything else
Martin said, "I thought it was just
the relentless pressure that he put
on me. not just with his serve, not
just with his feet, not just with his
returns, but every game, he
seemed to be there
Agassi made it five games in a
row when he won the first three in
the final set, and he closed out the
match by breaking Martin one
more time.
"I'll tell you what, how can you
ask for anything more than two
Americans in the final of the lS.
Open playing a great five-set
match?" Agassi told the crowd
after accepting the trophy and the
winner's check for $750,(100. "Win
or lose, this is the greatest time of
my life. I'll never forget New York

Martin hardly looked like an
unhappy loser. I le knew he had
given all he could in a tournament
in which he had almost been taken
in two previous five-setters,
including one against a qualifier in
the first round and another against
No. 9 Greg Rusedski in the fourth
round.
After the match with Kusedski.
Martin was so drained he needed
to be rehydrated intravenously.
"It's hard to say which one's
going to mean more Martin said,
referring to the Rusedski and
Agassi matches. "One finished
with euphoria, and one finished
with pleasure in the moment, just
thoroughly enjoying being in the
arena, albeit not being able to win
that last point

THE JUGGLERS
ECU commuter students are master jugglers. They handle class schedules, work schedules and trans-
portation plans with ease. Toss in obligations to family and friends and commuters don't even break a
sweat. But how can they master the skill of adding campus involvement to the mix?
Successful students who become highly sought after employees intertwine academic studies with
other campus experiences. Finding one's "niche" in campus life is key to personal growth and allows
one to get the most out of the college experience.
Commuters who have found their "niche" while juggling life's other
responsibilities share this advice.
Get more involved in your academic department. Meet faculty.
Organize study groups. Build a support network of fellow students,
faculty and staff.
Find an on-campus job.
Join a student organization.
Develop a new interest by attending performance art programs,
musical recitals or theatre productions.
Take care of yourself. Meet with staff in Student Recreation
Services, Health Promotion, Campus Dining Services or Student
Health Services.
Take initiative. Don't assume that your busy schedule will keep
you from being involved. Meet with others to discuss your special
circumstances and ways you can contribute.
Volunteer between classes.
Be a Pirate fan. Pick an ECU team to support and attend games,
meets and matches when you can. Don't forget to wear your purple
and gold.
Can commuters juggle one more thing, you may ask? Maybe, maybe
not. But when they've already learned to toss around three flaming
bowling pins, what's one more? Especially when it might put them in
the center ring.
If you are a commuter looking for a way to get involved in campus life call Adult and Commuter
Student Services at 6881 or Student Leadership Programs at 47.
As campus life runs along each day, photographers will be
out and about to capture us, the students, at our best. If
you can identify yourself in any of our pictures, present
yourself to MSC 109 (Student Leadership) and point "you"
out to the staff there. Rewards will be on hand for your
efforts, so keep a close eye on these pictures!

COLLEGE
COMES OUT OF
THE DARK
Can you believe it? Only two weeks in our new house and our electricity went out in three rooms. We
had no lights or power in the kitchen, living room or front hallway. After messing with the fuse box for
awhile my roommates and I didn't really know what to do. When we lived in Belk Hall last year we just
called the Maintenance Hotline or our RA and someone came over to help us.
We dug through our papers and found our landlord's phone number. We called and told him the prob-
lem and how we were without lights and that our food was rotting. Two days later he still hadn't come.
It was so frustrating.
Luckily my roommate Josephine found this booklet we got at Get-A-Clue called "A Place of Your Own:
A Guide for Off-Campus Living We found out that we needed to call the Greenville Human Relations
office (329-4494). They were so helpful. They contacted our landlord and things were fixed right
away.
The Human Relations staff also told us some other things about living in a rental property. They said
that we should call the landlord right away and also provide a written request to him about our mainte-
nance problem. If our repairs weren't taken care of we could call the Human Relations office or the city
inspection department. In really bad situations we could call the attorney general's office or go to small
claims court. There is an entire state law that addresses our rights as tenants and the responsibility of
landlords. Plus there are people who can help us with landlord problems. The Student Government
Association even provides a free service for students to discuss problems with an attorney.
Well, I'm not too happy that we had to throw out all of our food, but I am glad I got to learn about my
rights as a tenant. Things seem to be working fine now and our days ahead will be much brighter!

the entire amount you can request written notification from the landlord as to why you were charged.
Typically, deposits are kept if there are damages that exceed normal wear and tear.
? Keep your landlord's or property manager's phone number handy.

Dear
Dear Diary,
, '
'
Well, I still miss home. I thought this feeling was supposed to go away after the first day. Maybe I'm dif-
fcrcntmaybe I'm weird. I don't like this place, I haven't met all these new friends that my parents said
I would and I hate eating alone in the cafeteria. I miss my parents, my life back home, and yeseven my
little brother. I want to go home. I want to go home so bad sometimes that I can't concentrate on home-
work at night. I'm alone. I can't even sleepevery time I close my eyes I see home. I don't know what to
do
Dear Diary,
My RA came up to me today and asked me how I was feeling. She recommended I go talk to
the people at the Counseling Center. She was really nice about the whole thing - she did not make me
feel like I was weird.
Dear Diary,
I went to the Center for Counseling and Student Development and they helped me work
through my troubles. They suggested that I might want to check out the Recreational Center, the
Leadership office, and get involved on campus. I made some friends today. I feel great!
