tJ.s. NeWs reclassifies university BY LORI DONATH

MANAGING EoiTOR

After being ranked No. I in the southern regional university category in U.S. News and World Report for the last seven years, the university will settle in with giants such as Harvard and Yale in this year's "America's Best Colleges" issue Sept 19.

According to Bill Morris, the director of data analysis for "America's Best Colleges," the change results from classifications made by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. He said U.S. News uses those catego­ries and then ranks them according to their own criteria.

The university is one of about 300 schools that changed categories this year. That is 20 percent of the schools ranked by the magazine.

Carnegie made its 1994 classification based on federal support received in fiscal1989,1990

and 1991, and the degree data for those years. It placed the university in the Doctoral Universi­ties II category: schools that have a range of baccalaureate programs and award at least 10 doctoral degrees a year in three or more disci­plines, or 20 or more in one or more disciplines.

That is one of four classifications U.S. News groups together to rank as national universities: Research Universities I and II, Doctoral Univer­sities I and II.

Previously, the school was classified Master's (Comprehensive) Universities and Colleges I, which includes schools with a range of bacca­laureate programs that a ward at least 40 master's degrees a year in three disciplines. The maga­zine uses this classification for its regional rankings, Morris said.

"Naturally it can be debated whether Wake Forest is a national school. That may stimulate some debate," Morris said.

He said the Carnegie groupings only serve to

organize schools according to their programs, ratherthan to reflect a qualitative judgment. US News ranks the schools based on student selcc- · tivity, academic reputation, faculty resources: financial resources, graduation rate and alumm satisfaction.

Whereas some have expressed concern with how that will affect perceptions of the univer­sity, Provost David Brown said he does not see the new classification as a disadvantage to the university.

"Before we were concerned that we were a national institution in a regional category, that the other institutions in our category did not look like us and the term comprehensive didn't de­scribe us. We were of course pleased that we were always number one," Brown said.

Brown said the university was the only insti­tution in all categories that was number one all the time and usually by the widest margin. "That See Ranking, Page 5

How would the Internal Rev­enue Service react if average tax­payers chose not to include com­plete information on their Form 1040tax return?

reported because-and this wasn't done to avoid the IRS .. . - the chairman of the board of trustees is the officer of the corporation that owns the university. And I was the chief executive of the university. So this has not been some sort of ruse. This has just been the way the university has always been orga­nized."

Hearn's salary will be included in this year's report to the IRS, which will be completed in November, Boyette said. Noone in the adminis­tration would divulge his salary un­til then.

Boyette said, "The university has not typically released anything but average salaries ... this has been a place that has respected privacy."

Search resumes for-new dean BY BRIAN DIMMICK

ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

The search for a new dean of the · college has resumed, and the dean search committee hopes to have its recommendations to tbe provost be­fore.the end of the semester; said Edwin G. Wilson, the search com­mittee chairman.

Thomas E. Mullen, who has served as dean since 1968, announced in

·October 1993 that he planned to retire ·effective in July of this year.

Asearchcommitteechaired by Wil­son, c,onsisting of nine faculty mem­bers and staff and two students, was appointed and began the search pro-

· cess. However, Wilson spent last spring

leading the university's program at the Worrell House in London, and the search was suspended during his ab­sence.

Since his return, Wilson said the committee has held two meetings and plans to begin the process of inter­viewing candidates soon.

He said that a number of faculty and staff have been nominated by others.

"We probably will not interview everyone whose name has been men­tioned, but we will interview every­one who seems to have a significant amount of support," Wilson said.

Wilson said the search committee will recommend three names to Pro­vost David G. Brown for consider­ation. Brown will then make a final recommendation to President Tho-mas K. Hearn. •

"The person I recommend will come from one of those recommended by the search and screening commit­tee except in the most unusual of circumstances," Brown said.

provide continuity was to ask that we select someone from within the uni­versity to fill this position," he said.

Mullen suffered a minor heart attack over the summer and only recently returned to his work in the dean's of­fice, Brown said.

"This has caused some people to wonder whether the new person will take over as dean in January instead of July," he said. However, Brown said he does not anticipate that the transi­tion will take place soonerthan planned.

The search committee membership remains unchanged from last year. In addition to Wilson and McMillan, the committee consists of Herman Eure, a professor of biology; J. Daniel Hammond, a professor of economics; Roger A. Hegstrom, a professor of chemistry; Dana Johnson, the dean of the school of business and accoun­tancy; Gale Sigal, an associate prot'es­sor of English; James N. Thompson, an associate dean of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine; and Harry B. Titus, Jr. an associate professor of art. Easy does it

raising money for student support is to pro­vide new named scholarships and increase the amount awarded for some existing scholar­ships. Since the campaign began, 140 new scholarships have been created.

However, Thomas Phillips, the associate director of admissions and scholarships, said that although 140 new scholarships may have been created, he has not "seen" 140 new scholarships to offer to students, since some ofthe giving to the campaign involves planned gifts such as trusts and estates.

Phillips said money donated for student support will aid the university's goal ofbring­ing several scholarships to half-tuition. Al­though in most cases the endowments of the scholarships will not be increased, the in-

creased number of overall scholarships due to the campaign will free up money for increas· ing the stipends of such scholarships as the Presidential, Carswell and Poteat.

"The campaign is not about some multi­million dollar goal, but what it is doing and will do for our faculty and students," said G. William Joyner Jr., vice president forUnivcr· sity Relations.

"The benefits of the campus building pro­gram are easily seen and have been well documented. But more important, although not as visible, are the ways this campaign is touching individual lives.

In his absence the committee, chaired by Jill McMillan, an associ­ate professor of speech communica­tions, continued to meet and to confer withfacultyandstaffduringthespring but did not go forward with the inter­viewing process, Wilson said.

Brown, who is in charge of the search, said he decided the search should focus on internal candidates. "I feel that with the retirement of Ed Wilson and the departure of Tom Mullen, it is extremely important for us to provide continuity within the dean's office, and the best way to

Subway coming as part of renovations to Pit Bv DANIELLE DEAVER

CoN11unu fiN(J RJ:PoR n~R

It will give more options to the students for food," fresh­man Jim Vinson said of the Subway option.

New tables and chairs will be purchased for the stait of the next school year.

As part of a year-long renovation plan, a Subway Shop will be opening for business within the next few weeks in the university cafeteria.

Scott Ownby ,director of dining services said he expects the new franchise to service approximately 200 students a day.

Ownby also said he believes the new store will increase the business in the caleteria by bringing more people into the cafeteria.

-Tentative plans call for a variety of seatin~ choices, including long tables, round tables and c~unter-top. type seating within the eating area. Two more cash regiSters will be added and the salad bar will be rotated 90 degrees to facilitate faster service. Original plans called for Subway to open at the begin­

ning of the school year. But construction on the new dormitory, North Hall, and renovations for air-condition­ing and safety features in other dormitories delayed con­struction on the new eatery.

Ownby said he expects to see a decrease in the business done by the Benson University Center franchises until the novelty of the Subway store wears off.

Most of the construction will be completed over the summer. Ownby said the changes will make it easier to provide a quality product for the students.

The cafeteria kitchen will also be redone over the summer. Some of the equipment currently in use in the kitchen is 60 years old.

Chosen becauseofits popularity with students, Subway will feature sub sandwiches, a variety of salads, cold cuts and a variety of other sandwiches. Students will be able to use their meal cards to purchase the food.

Additional plans call for several other franchises to be added to the Pit before the start of the next school year. Ownby said the new franchises will include Kentucky Fried Chicken, a goum1et coffee shop and a frozen yogurt shop.

Plans include replacing nearly all of the kitchen equ~I?­ment, including grills, freezers, and ranges. Kitchen facth­ties will also be switched from being electrically powered Students were in favor of the new franchise for several

reasons. "I think Subway's a great idea. I think it will take a lot of the traffic out of Benson. I think it will be a huge success on campus," said sophomore Andy Harris.

Other areas of the cafeteria already in use will be expanded. including the Wokery. and Gretel's Bakery.

The cafeteria will also be renovated for the first time since it was originally coiJstructed in 1956.

to gas powered. -The changes will be funded jointly by ARA and the

university, each paying half of the total cost. Ownby said it is too soon to estimate the cost of the project. "I think it's great. I hope it stays open later than the Pit.

Senior Steve Bumgarner, the Student Government president, has been working all summer to move ahead with the SG agenda this fall.

Many of the issues left unresolved last spring are back on the table again this year. A three-year WAKE TV business plan has been presented, and Bumgarner said the station shouldbeonairby November with a pilot episode,.and regular programming should begin in the spring.

A best practices conference was held this summer with experts from within and outside the university community to direct the goals of the WAKE TV project. "The purpose of these best practices confer­ences is not for them to tell us what to do, but for us to voice our needs and wants, and

they provide ideas," Bumgarner said. It is undecided on what channel the net­

work will air, but Bumgarner said there is " ... a lot of drive and enthusiasm be­hind the project as a result of the confer­ence."

The plan for the after-hours use of the Benson University Center is still under

. discussion, ··... but Bumgarner there is a key card idea in the works," Bumgarner said. "Also, Shorty's is still being worked on. Let'sjust say there is still hope out there.''

Bumgarner said he hopes that the SG committees and officers will be held ac­countable this year for accomplishing the

goals they set. The four officers have sat down and examined the pledges they made during and after the campaign and set additional goals.

SG is possibly interested in finding a sophomore or freshman with public rela­tions experience to work on its publicity, Bumgarner said. If SG found such a per­son, he or she would work in the on behalf of all of SG, not just the legislature.

Bumgarner said a large issue concern­ing all students is faculty relations and that he hopes the upcoming Presidential Lead­

ership Conference will bring student lead­ers together, allow leaders of various or­ganizations to take ideas back to their respective groups and the whole process to result in action.

'"PLC should help with the faculty rela­tions, and I know that Todd Turner (a senior and student trustee) will be work-

ing with the Board of Trustees also on that," · Bumgarner said.

A retreat for the newly elected legislature is planned for Sunday from 3 • 6 p.m .• and Bumgarner said 'the retreat should serve as a good beginning for the legislature.

"David Upchurch, a past Student Gov­ernment President ('91-'92) will be speak­ing, and while he does, we will be making the final committee assignments. After that, the committees can break down and begin their goal setting for the year," Bumgarner said. Senior Andy Martin. the SG speaker

of the house, will also teach parliamentary procedure at that retreat. The General As­sembly will meet for the first time of lhe semester on Oct. 4.

Bumgarner said he will be living LIP to his campaign pledge to have SGupdates posted after every General Assembly meeting in the bathroom stalls across campus.

Sororities seek to improve image through publicity

BY BENEDETIA AGNOLI

Ow Grn.o AND BLACK REPoR-rER

With rush scheduled for January the sororities are focusing their attention on improving the Greek system's image through positive ad campaigns this semesteF,iiaitl'iienior Jeannie·Snydt\t, presidentofthe·Pan-Hellenicc6tmctl:- ·J;J,i r · -, · •'

The presidents of the various sororities focused their discus­sion on this issue during their first meeting at the beginning of the semester.

"There is a need for it (improving the Greek system's image)," Snyder said. "I am looking forward to working on it."

Snyder said the recent announcement by the Duke University administration to abolish their Greek system heightened the feeling that a stronger effort to involve more people in the Greek system is needed at the university.

"The situation at Duke is not specifically linked to here, but I think it is an important issue which must be addressed," Snyder said.

She said the form that the positive publicity might take would run from articles and announcements in the Old Gold and Black to flyers and leaflets around the campus when an important event is coming up.

Senior Brian Valente, the president of the Pi Kappa AI ph a fraternity, uses a computer to make fraternity plans.

At the present time there is no set calendar for when the campaign will begin. The main goal of the effort will be to increase awareness of the various projects that the sororities undertake each year among independent students and faculty members.

"All of the groups do community service projects," Snyder said. "The fact that they weren't well publicized up to now was our fault because we didn't tell anyone." Students choose SG legislature and

Elections held on campus Tuesday determined the members of the legislative branch of Student Gov­ernment.

Nearly one third of the student body turned out to vote, according to senior Andy Martin, SG speaker of the house, with off campus and satellite areas show­ing poorly. ··we would have done OK if those areas _had turned out, but as it stands, we did all rioht •· Martin said. "' '

The freshman elections for Honor Council named Carolyn Escobar, Jennifer Kemmcter and Lilly Bekele to the council, and Ryan Marsh won the freshman Student Budget Advisory Committee election.

Martin is looking forward to a good year with the legislature. "We have a lot to work on without even having to think about what to do," he said. "There is

a good mix of young people and experience.'' "We will have to appoint six people (to fill vacancies)

... so the people who are there want to be there," Martin said. There will be a run off Thursday in Palmer Resi­dence Hall and Poteat House to decide two ties.

Several positions in the legislature were filled by write-in candidates, and according to the SG Constitu­tion, it only takes 10 votes to win-as a write-in.

Junior Jcnni!er Fort is a write-in victor representing Kitchin House. Fort said"I am excited to win. I didn't think write-ins ever won. but I think I will enjoy my work with Student Government. I know several of the other Kitchin representatives and it will be fun to work with them. too."

Winners ofTuesday's election were notified by cam­pus mail, and their names were pl•sted outside the SG orficc Wednesday.

Commiltces meet September 27, and the SG legisla­ture will convene October 4.

As the service chairwoman of the Pan-Hellenic Council last Thanksgiving Snyder initiated a plan whereby each sorority prepared a basket of food for a Samaritan shelter. The amount of food that was requested from each sorority was decided in proportion to the number of members in the organization.

A committee is being organized to plan a trip to a retirement home at the end of October. The idea behind the trip is for tw<> representatives from each organization to take part in a day excursion to the home. No concrete plan has been set.

A monthly Greek newsletter will be published as part of a Greek master plan that was compiled by Mike Ford, the director of student development, and Mary Gerardy, the assistant vice president for student life and instructional resources and the Greek women's adviser.

"It (the newsletter) will give groups and individuals the chance to play up their strong points, publicize community service projects, academic achievements and awards," Snyder said. This newsletter will be on a smaller scale than the now-defunct Greek newsletter, The Greek Forum.

Panhellenic, the Interfraternity Council, and Student Life are still. working on a new draft of the party policy governing sorority socml events.

"The national rules of some organizations call for higher amount of risk management," Snyder said. "We wantto arrive at a uniform set of rules which will satisfy everybody's needs."

Group of students unwillingly assigned substance-free housing block Bv CHmSTOPHER J. LEONARD :,

C0N'1111BtmNO REPoRTER

Due to a housing crunch, the Office of Residence Life and Housing placed six fresh­men women who did not request substance­free housing in a substance-free block in the basement of Johnson Residence Hall.

Connie Carson, the director of Residence Life and Housing, said enoughincomingfi"esh­men expressed interest in substance-free holis­ing to warrant designating all of Johnson as substance-free. Her office placed six fresh­man women originally without housing in two available triple rooms.

The students did not sign the substance-free housingcovenantrequiredofthosewhochoose substance-free housing. According to the university's Guide to Community Living, sub­stance-free housing is an option that" ... al­lows studen~ to pursue housing in.areas free from smoking and alcohol use."

Carson said she does not anticipate prob­lems with the non-covenanted residents be-

cause "... all freshmen are under the legal drinking age of 21. All violations of the state law regarding alcohol will be processed though the judicial system just like any other viola­tion."

If the residents are unhappy on a substance­free ball, they will have the opportunity to move during the upcoming room thaw, Carson said. When interviewed, none of the six resi­dents expressed an interest to move this year.

Johnson's Assistant Hall Director Marc Sneed, who was a resident adviserin Johnson last year, noted that most problems in the 1993-94 year arose from an entire hall that was non-substance-free. Sneed said he feels the six women in Johnson are more closely tied to the substance-free residents. The resi­dents concurred with his statement.

Anna Coggins, the basement women • s resi­dent adviser, refused to comment on the' situ-ation. ·

While the drinking issue is theoretically moot because all freshmen are under the legal age, smoking may pose a problem. Carson

said, "These residents will be permitted to smoke like any other student, if they wish. They have individual rights because they paid for their room like other residents." Cars~n noted that smoking in the lounges

could possibly pose a problem. "We would try to mediate in that event," she said. Sneed added, "As long as everyone respects each other's rights, there shouldn't be a problem."

This university was among tbefust to imple­ment a substance-free living arrangement. Carson said the university obtaine~ the origi­nal structure for the program from Michigan State University. .

Carson was quick to add' that " ... the ben­efits of the program have far outweighed any problems we have had with it." She said Johnson residents rate4 their quality of life in university housing higher than those in any other residence hall.

The ·survey included questions regarding involvement in residence hall activities, the feeling of community in the hall and how well residents know each other.

The University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill began a similar program three years ago in the Ehringhaus Residence Hall. However, according to Ehringhaus coordinator Mark Rank, ''The program is just now getting into gear." · The university has designated one floor as a"WellnessFloor,"whereapproximately 112 residents live in a' substance-free environ­ment.

Residents must sign a contract that binds them to a substance-free lifestyle while inside the dormitory. By signing the contract, resi­dents also agree to attend 7 out of 20 planned activities on the floor;

Rank said the program is growing and that the university will try to make more space

. available next year. Rank stated that many UNC students still have misconceptions about the program, which may be an obstacle to its further growth.

While hoping to expand the program, Rank said he wants to make sure that it clings to its original goals. "We still want to be selective

and make sure that people are there because they want to be there," he said

Rank said he considers the program a suc­cess " ... if it helps one person have a better college experience."

A group of students at Wake Forest wants to add another dimension to substance-free liv­ing at the university. A group of university students are attempting to start a substance­free fraternity.

Cameron Pearce, one of the group's orga­nizers, said, "Our constitution will state that we have a substance-free policy. No alcohol will be served at our functions and no one who· is obviously inebriated will be admitted."

According to literature distributed by the group, one of the group's goals is to " ... exhibit and exercise social skills in settings that benefit all without potentially harming anyone or putting them at risk"

Pearce said about 60 people have expressed intere~ in th~ gr~u~. The. group is now s.eek-. ing nauonal ~ffiha~on With Lambda Chi Al­pha.

On Monday night members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity attended a talk given by a Winston-Salem attorney about drunk driving.

Carl Parrish, a partner in the frrm Wright, Parrish, Newton & Rabil, spoke after the showing of a video prepared by thefratemity' s national headquarters called ''Risky Busi­ness." · ·

Pamsh focusedmainly on the con­sequences of drunk driving, stress­ing the complex and expensive le­gl,ll procedures associated with a DUiarrest.

Parrish has seen the cost of a DUI rise to several thousand dollars once

"You could end up paying up to $2,500 in liability insurance alone," Parrish said. At the final count, a six pack of beer, coupled with operat­ing a motor vehicle, could end up costing one around $9,000.

"Even if you were at the beach when a keg party was thrown you could be sued," Parrish said. "It's too late once it happens." ' . ,

Parrish demonstrated some of the procedures that policemen use when determining whether a person bad been drinking heavily before driv­ing.

OLD GOLD AND BLACK STAFF REPCRT

For the second year in a row, the university has received a national award for excellence in educational fund-raising.

The Council for Advancement and Support of Education has once again named the university to its "Circle of Excellence" for overall fund-raising performance. The university was one of 12 named in the private comprehen­sive institutions category .. Overall, 79 of the nation's 3,100 universities, colleges and secondary schools were recognized; 101 were· recognized last year. Others named this year include Harvard University, Duke University, the College of William and Mary, the University ofRicbmond and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

''These institutions have demonstrated that they know bow to bring together their staff, volunteers and donors to get superb results," said Peter Buchanan, president of CASE. ''Their accomplishments put them at the top of their peer groups- these are fund-raising operations to watch and learn from."

Institutions were judged on the amount of voluntary support during the last three·years in terms of total support, strength of annual giving programs and the number of alumni donors. Total giving to the university, including the Bowman Gray School of Medicine and athletics, was $27 million in 1990-91, $29 million in 1991-92 and $30 million in 1992-93.

Events showcase Hispanic culture • Haiti invasion seems imminent

Latin American plays, dances highlight month-long event schedule -• Bicycle thefts continue

WASHINGTON, D.C.- Preparations continue this week for an invasion of Haiti to oust the country's military dictatorship and restore demo­cratically -elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

President Bill Clinton proceeded with invasion plans without congressional approval. The air­craft carrier USS America left for Haiti Tuesday, and the USS Eisenhower departed from Norfolk Wednesday.

President Clinton met with reporters Wednes­day to promote the invasion by emphasizing ~he massive human-rights violations allegedly takmg place in Haiti. He also issued a final call for the military leaders of Haiti to step down, and offi­cials said he is exploring options to achieve a last­minute resolution of the conflict

There is little support for the planned invasion in Congress, and members of bot~ parties ~o~ed to bring the issue to• a vote over ra non-bmdmg resolution. However, Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, used the authority oF his office to postpone the vote until next week.

Military experts say the necessary elements or the invasion force should be in place by Saturday, and the actual invasion could take place at any time after that date.

Officials said the invasion will probably not last more than two months, and Pentagon leaders have taken steps to ensure that the mission is completed as soon as possible.

• Baseball season strikes out

NEW YORK- Owners of the 28 major league baseball teams announced Wednesday that the remainder of the 1994 season, including the ex­panded playoffs and World Series, has been can­celled due to the players' strike.

The players went on strike Aug. 12 after failing to negotiate a new general agreement with the owners. The main issue in the negotiations was a salary cap, which owners claim is needed to keep teams lucrative, but which the players oppose.

The World Series has been played every year since 1905, even during both world wars. Nego­tiators for the two sides have made little progress and have scheduled no new meetings.

Bv MARIE HIGGINS

CONTRIBlrriNG REPORTER

The performances of the play La noche de los asesinos (The Night of the Assassins) and instruction in Afro-Cu­ban dances by Juanita Baro highlight a month-long program titled Perspectives on Latin American Culture sponsored by the department of Romance lan­guages.

The university will present the pro­gram from Sept. 22 to Oct. 24. Ramiro Fernandez, a professorofRomance lan­guages. said the events will be funded by the Department of Romance Lan­"Ua"es along with the administration. "' "' ' Other events to be held include lec-tures, roundtable discussions, films, public readings, a business symposium and exhibits about Latin American cul­ture.

The Night of the Assassins is a play in which two brothers and a sister plot to kill their parents. The play was written hy Cuban exile Jose Triana, an interna­tionally known playwright. The direc­tor is Rolando Moreno, who previously visited the university in 1990 to con­duct worship with the Latin American theater class. Fernandez said.

The drama will be performed by Teatro A vante, a theater company based in Miami, Florida. The group is a non­profit organization, whose main obje~­tiveis to preserve Hispanic cultural hen­tage, particularly Cuban heritage.

Fernandez said the presentation of the play is of particular significance now because of the current Cuban refugee crisis. He said when the play was first written. it was very controversial be­cause of the tyrannical father figure who many people correlated with Fidel Castro, and so the play was thought of as a statement of rebellion.

Fernandez said the performance is mainly for the benefit of students in the contemporary Latin American theater class he is teaching this semester. This way, students are able to see the play performed rather than just reading it.

Another event of that week will be instruction by Juanita Baro, who also acts in the play, Fernandez said. Baro is an internationally acclaimed actress, ballerina, choreographer and singer. In conjunction with the university dance program, Baro will provide instruction at 3 p.m. on Wednesday of the week of the perfonnance. She will demonstrate Afro-Cuban dances and worship.

Fernandez said that this event " ... is a great opportunity (for students) ... (it) would be a great benefit for Afro­American students on campus."

Fernandez emphasized that the in­volvement of the Latin American the­ater students is the most. important_ as­pect of the programs. The students will do the publicity for the play and will assist with the technical aspects of the play. In addition, auditions were held for a university student who will pro­vide the simultaneous English transla­tion of the play.

The play will be presented on Sep­tember 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. in Brendle Recital Hall. Admission is free. It will be performed in Spanish; those who wish to watch the play while listening to a simultaneous English translation should call Ext. 4696 as soon as pos­sible, as there are a limited number of headsets available. ·

Fernandez said, "We are very fortu­nate to bring a company of this caliber (to the university) ... it's really an op­portunity ... to me, it was a dream and now it is happening." To attend the instruction by Baro or for more infor­mation about the programs, contact Fernandez at Ext. 5507.

versity to the Iandft.il might be re­turned if aluminum cans are found in it, but said he did not know if fines could be levied on the university for failing to comply with the new law.

To comply with the law, McDaniel said the university has increased the number of aluminum ·can recycling bins on campus and has also sent memos to faculty and staff informing them of the new law.

Also, aluminum can recycling bins were added to North Hall as part of the construction of that building.

In addition, McDaniel said the uni­versity has begun a program of sign­ing contfacts with fraternities and so­rorities so that the organization can decide what kind of recycling they need at their parties and said.Facilities Management will arrange to have it picked up. . .

McDaniel also said the university is testing a new recycling program in

student rooms in North Hall, the NIA House and the houses on· Rosedale· Circle.

S~udents will be given recycling containers for their rooms and willl)e responsible for taking the containers to a central location when they are full and separating the contents to be re­cycled. McDaniel said the program will be expanded if it works well.

··we would like to expand it to the rest of campus, but we want to see what student interest is before we spend a lot of money on the program," he said.

The bins for this program have been ordered and will be delivered in one or two weeks, McDaniel said.

maneuver to get out of the regional category and get designated a national university," Brown said. "Each time we faced that question we have .. thought that getting changed in an artificial category is the wrong reason to do something and we let the chips fall as they may."

President Thomas K. Hearn Jr. also said the change will probably not affect the university greatly." ... Obviously this is not a matter that we have any control over- nor do I think ultimately it matters very much," he said.

"We certainly are not going to change the programs and · objectives of the university in order to conform to some­body else's conceptions of what we ought to look like," Hearn said.

" ... Wedon'toccupy the regional niche anymore. Is that important? I haven't a clue. My guess is that these things tend to trade off each other. We are very well-ranked in a majority of the guides," Hearn said.

If the university were short on applicants, then the ranking might cause greater concern. However, there are about six applicants for every place in the freshman class, Hearn said.

"None of those things obtain. So our interest in present­ing ourselves to the public through college guides and rankings is to hope that reliable information about the institution reaches students who might be interested in Wake Forest," Hearn said.

Brown discussed the effect of the ranking in terms of the university's admissions policy. "We know that a number of students especially from outside the Southeast have visited us because of our number one ranking. What we don'i know is if those same individuals will continue to notice us." Brown also said it is too early to speculate on the changes that may come about at the university as a result of the greater competitit'n in ranking.

"We are not the kind of place that changes for the sake of rankings themselves," he said. "We're confident that students by and large at Wake Forest feel that they are getting a good education regardless of what the rankings say and we are going to continue to try to improve." Brian].

Project Pro Humanitate starts preparations to construct house

Project Pro Humanitate, a student project that aims to build a house for a needy Winston-Salem family, has returned to campus after a three-year hiatus.

funds and completing the building will require a great deal of effort and perseverance. According to the leaders of the· project, the most immediate concern is raising awareness around the campus and community through means such as mass mailings.

They said they also hope to begin raising the $45,000 needed for the house to become reality. Senior Russ Huhhard, a co-chairman of Project Pro Humanitate, said, "We arc not just looking for monetary donations. For example, we hope to get local businesses to give us discounts on materials such as lumber."

The project, which takes its name from the university motto "for mankind," will soon begin the process of raising funds in order to be able to begin construction in the spring.

According to co-chairwoman senior Jen Jackson, this time around the group hopes to expand the number of volunteers. "Even though we did this three years ago, this time we would like to include a lot more people. It is important that we bring people in the university commu­nity together because we can utilize many different facets of the school," she said.

Junior Erik Lisher, the finance chairman, echoed Jackson's remarks. "Wake Forest is a community of indi­viduals that care for one another. Project Pro Humanitate will be the physical evidence of this ideal. In order for our vision of successfully building this house to becom~ real­ity, it will be necessary to secure the combined efforts of students, administrators, faculty, and staff, along with the Winston-Salem community at large," he said.

The project. though completely student-run, will work with Habitat for Humanity to determine therecipientofthe house. According to Hubbard, there will be hired su~con­tractors and other experienced people to assist in the actual. construction of the building. In addition, the group has discussed such ideas as having members of Facilities Management participate in the construction process. The current schedule b to begin building in March and finish before the end of the current academic year.

Huh bard said, ''We are looking for any help we can get.

. There i~; always room for more volunteers, and it doesn't have to rcqui1:e a huge commitment of time. We had a lot of people sign up at the Volunteer Service Corps fair, and we hope they continue their interest."

Program helps students pay tuition Br JoE DoBNER

CONTRIBliTING REPORTI::R

President Bill Clinton' sAmeriCorp~ ·intends to ·help people, young and oid, pay for the cost of education and to solve certain domestic problems.

Clinton calls it" ... a bold initiative to help restore the American commu­nity - neighborhood by neighbor­hood, block by block."

The program is a fulfillment of Clinton's campaign promise of a vol­unteer service corps, a domestic equivalent of the peace corps. The President expects to put 20,000 young people to work this year.

The program was signed into law on Sept. 21, 1993 with the same pen that President Kennedy used to sign the Peace Corps into law .It took effect on September 12th of this year.

The launching of the program was marked by a two-day gala of bus cara­vans, concerts by entertainers such as Kenny G, Lotion and the Immatures and speeches by administration offi­cials such as Janet Reno, Henry Cisneros and Robert Reich.

AmeriCorps is handled primarily at the state level. The law mandates that

states set up agencies to handle appli­cations for grants and applications for service, with federal funding based on population, accordin:g ~ to the Governor's Office ofNorih Carolina. North Carolina, the 14th most popu­lous state, received $2.2 million.

Community service organizations in North Carolina participated in a summit in January and February of this year. Of the grants applied for, 14 were accepted, and of those, eight will immediately employ personnel. Six wiJI remain in the planning stage until next year.

The two programs geared towards college students are the Scale Com­munity Literacy Program. a year-round tutoring program, and the Warren County Service Corps, a summer pro­gram dedicated to tutoring middle school students in Warren County.

AmeriCorps is open to all Ameri­cans, ages 17 to 103. Applicants must submit applications to the Governor's office.

Two-hundred and seventy-two people are expected to be employed in North Carolina in the inaugural year of this three-year program. Of those employees, 47 of these positions are

expected to go to college students. People entering the Corps will be

given a cost of living stipend imd a one-time educational cash grant based on length of service. At the end of two years of service, a part time volunteer will receive $2,136, and a full time volunteer will receive $4,275 for four years of college.

Programs such as AmeriCorps are not a new idea. The Montgomery GI Bill provided cash grants for educa­tion for veterans of the Anned Forces. ROTC scholarships offer $8,000 per year or 80 percent of college tuition, whichever is greater, plus a stipend for books and cost ofliving, in exchange for eight years of Active or Reserve duty.

At the state level, North Carolina offers the Teaching Fellows scholar­ship. According to the Office ofTeach­ing Fellows, the scholarship provides a $20,000 grant toward tuition at most state univer>ities and a few private universities (Wake Forest University is not one of them) in exchange for four years of full-time teaching in North Carolina public schools.

Those interested in AmeriCorps should call 1-800-443-3961.

Ascontroller,Holdersigned the990. ThomasGilsenan, the new controller, did not have a recent copy of the rules for filling out the 990 until he called the IRS for them Monday.

Salaries for the other vice presidents who have an equal role were not listed, including that ofJohn Ander­son, the vice president for administration and planning, treasurer and the direct link for fiscal matters to the Board of Trustees.

The form also listed the top five highest-paid faculty of the university, all of whom are professors at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine.

According to the form, Dr. David L. Kelly Jr., a professor of surgical sciences in neurosurgery, is the

highest paid employee at $572,208. Dr. William 0. Bell, an associate professor of surgiCal sciences in neurosurgery was listed at $527,356, as was Dr. Charles L. Branch Jr., also an associate professor of surgical sciences in neurosurgery. Dr. John W. Hammon Jr., a professor of surgical sciences in cardiothoracic surgery, was listed at $493,011 and Dr. William Y. Tucker, an assistant profes­sor of cardiothoracic surgery, was listed at $491,099.

The Old Gold and Black reported 1992-93 average faculty salaries in the article, "Portion of 1993-94 tuition increase to benefit professor's salaries" (March 25, 1993).

According to the university, professors earned $65,700 on average for the year. while associate professors aver­aged $50,000, assistant professors $41,000 and instruc­tors $31 ,000.

After the March 1993 article was printed, however, the Old Gold and Black received a number of letters from undergraduate faculty who said the figures were not

. indicative of undergraduate faculty salaries because they included both undergraduate professors and higher-paid professors at the School of Law and the Babcock School of Management. Lori Donath, managing editor, contributed to this article.

University's omission violates federal law

The Internal Revenue Service's Form 990 requires national uni­versities and other non-profit groups to list the salaries of its officers and other highly paid ofti­cials. To not list those salaries or to provide inaccurate or misleading information is a violation of fed­eral law.

When the university filed i ts1'

Form 990 for the 1992-93 fiscal'' year, the salary for President Tho-'· mas K. Hearn Jr. was conspicu­ously absent. The reason the uni­versity gave for this omission was that the university is structured in such a way that the president is not formally one of its officers. This excuse would have been suitable in previous Form 990s, but the form for 1992-93 requires univer­sities to Jist "key employees," meaning "any person having re­sponsibilities or powers similar to those of officers, directors, or trust­ees."

Either Hearn does not consider himself as possessing the powers and responsibilities placing him at the level of an officer, or the uni­versity is trying to avoid releasing Hearn's salary. Either way, they have broken federal law. Now, would that go to the Judicial Board or Honor Council? •

In a Sept. 14 article in The Chronicle of Higher Education , IRS officials state the university

should have listed Hearn's com­pensation.

The significance of this omis­sion is twofold. First, the univer­sity, along with other reluctant uni­versities, broke the law. Boyette contends that the university's law­yers interpreted the the require­ment the same as it had in previous years, but on Form 990, it clearly defines which salaries should be submitted.

Secondly, this incident epito­mizes the university's overall re­luctance in releasing information about such financial matters, re­gardless of whether the records are legally public record or not.

Last year, John Anderson, the vice president for planning and administration refused tc) release the university's proposed budget for 1994-95. Despite the fact that undergraduate tuition P1\YS 70 per­cent of the university's revenue, Anderson only agreed to release a shortened version, one that omit­ted specific figures and allocations.

The university's reluctance to release fiscal information prohib­its students and other interested parties to get information that they have a legal rightto. The Form 990 incident is another disturbing ex­ample of the university's imped­ing the public's right to know and only fosters suspicions about why they are so reluctant.

New grouping puts school in national rank

For the past seven years, U.S. 1 News and World ~~port has the

listed the university as the best among Southern regional schools. In the magazine's 1994 rankings, to be released Sept. 19, the univer­sity will no longer be among re­gional universities but wiii be placed in the national university category along with such schools as Harvard, Yale and Princeton.Previou~ly, the classify­ing organization;· the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, considered the uni­versity a part of the Master's Uni­versities-and Colleges I because of the full range of baccalaureate de­grees offered, as well us the award­ing of 40 or more master's de­grees.

The 1994· classifications are based 0n degree information for the 1989, 1990, and 1991 school years. and federal grants from the fiscal years 1989-91. The university's transition to Doctoral II classification is a product of the ·

university's awarding a re_quired number of doctoral degrees as dictated for the higher category.

Unfortunately, the university is no longer first in its region for liberal arts colleges, but a distant runner-up in a much larger cat­egory. Approximately 45 percent of freshmen state they first heard of the university because of its top regional ranking. By graduating to a higher level, the university may end up losing prospective students because of its decreased visibility.

What has made the university the best was the small class sizes, the faculty student ratio, the rela­tively low cost of tuition and its small undergraduate enrollment. To compete on a national level, the university may be tempted to increase class sizes to accommo­

. date greater enrollment, thereby diminishing the amount of indi­vidual instruction available.

The new ranking is impres­sive, but will be unfortunate if it threatens the university's ideals.

Decision to Rush ,merits examinatf6n BRUCE MARSH

thought about how pledging would affect other things I wanted to do here. I didn't knowwhat kind of time constraints I would have. A s another school year moves into full gear,

challenges of all sorts await the class of 1998. Leaving home for the first time is

hard enough, but you will make decisions critical to the direction you take once you leave the lush university campus in four years.

Sure you've had difficulty adapting to the won­derful cuisine offered at the Pit, especially after eating mom's home-cooked meals all your life. And look at that pile of!aundry sitting in the comer of your room calling out your name. And then there's that neat little piece of plastic called Visa check. I couldn't balance a checkbook before I had one; now I don't even bother. But beyond these new experiences awaits one that will determine the future of your social life here. The majority will say that rushing a fraternity or sorority is the key to improving your social status, while others will argue that there are plenty of other alternatives to the Greek system. While there are other options, the Greek system is so entrenched in this school's social life that it is difficult to make an argument against its influence.

old school in Pennsylvania and received a bid. But joining a fraternity was not a top priority to me then and I turned it down. But here it seemed like everywhere I turned I saw Greek letters- on the towers, on sweatshirts, in the Deacon Shop and on bulletin boards. .

So when bids went out and Hound out I was oneofthe lucky ones, everything changed. I had only looked at the positives while lwas rushing (I'll be accepted, the girls will be knocking at my door, it will look good on my resume; etc.). But once I got that J:?id, everything changed. Suddenly I started looking at the downside (I'm going to fail out, I'm not going to have time for

If I didn't become a part of the Greek system I thought I would be alienated from this school altogether and never really feel like a part of this · campus. So I pondered the idea and decided I had nothing to lose. So what if I d~dn 't get a bid. The important thing was making the attempt to get out and meet people. ·

. other things, I'll never ge~ into law S!=hool, my parents will be upset, etc.): I was being puiied in two directions. One side of me wanted to pledge and the other kept telling me not to. ·

In the end, I pledged and tlepledged and carne to the realization that I was .putting too much

· pressure on myself to fit in. I was the only one who could decide what was best for me. Sure I've had some regrets, but I made an important decision, one that I have held to.

One year ago, I was feeling much the same way many freshman are feeling right now. I had just transferred here and I did not know too many people. Walking around campus, I realized the dominant role Greek organizations play. I wanted to meet people and I thought rushing would be an ideal way to do so. I had gorie through Rush at my

Overall, my rushing experience was a positive one. All of the events, the bowling, Monday Night Football and the Rush Dance gave me a sense of belonging and most of all, they were enjoyable. I did not feel like the brothers were superficial at all. All of the stereotyping you see in the movies just didn't hold true. I had achieved my original goal. But then I started thinking, what ifl really do get a bid? Do I want to sacrifice a semester of grades to become a brother? I had not really put a lot of !hough! into the pros and cons of being a pledge. I was so intent on trying to fit in, that I never really

So as you freshmen take this semester to decide if and where you will Rush, take time to sort out the pros and cons of going Greek. Take the ·semester you have now to seriously ;con­sider the tradeoffs. Don't feel like the only way to fit in at this school is to j()in a fraternity or sorority. Sure it's a great way to meet people, but there are also lots of other organizations waiting with open ann~.-·

Qual Choice limits I attended the August 30 informa­

tional meeting regarding "QualChoice," and carefully read the materials provided in the packet and those that were handed out. Reluc­tantly, I chose the path of least resis­tance, by my reckoning the only path offered, and submitted the duly-signed enrollment form. Why am I not happy?

One, it is apparent that the plan is at best in its formative phase. The meet­ing disclosed that there is consider­able uncertainty as to which doctors have signed up as "PCPs" (Primary Care Physicians); whether the plan will cover only Baptist Hospital spe­cialists; whether one will only be able to use Baptist Hospital facilities; whether the "details" described in the brochure are legally binding; whether the costs cited in the brochures are merely examples; whether employ­ees who live outside Forsyth county will be able to conveniently utilize Option I services and so forth. It seems a little late in the game for such ambiguity to persist. I'm not heart­ened by comments like "we'll work things out as individuals." I've never seen the compassionate side of insur­ance plan administrators; that's not their job.

Second, this failure to be precise is not the fault of those whose health insurance coverage is at risk. During my ten years at this university, I have never detected significant dissatisfac­tion with BC/BS. It seems the burden of prooflies with those who advocate change. Why are we doing this? Why

are we doing it now? Why are we doing it in such an ill-conceived way? What's the hurry?

Third, the "defense" of the plan (as presented at the meeting) was any­thing but effective. If those who will be responsible for administering Qual Choice can't muster enthusiasm for the plan, let alone defend it or even adequately define its terms, then how can I get excited about it?

In sum, I wish the university in its collective wisdom would think about this some more. Perhaps it could even try to come up with a plan that is less ambiguous, or at least try to sell it better to those who have been "asked" to buy it. So why did I sign up? Obvi­ously, Qualchoice offers no "choice." The alternative to not "signing up" is no insurance coverage; the alterna­tive to not"signingupearly" has been portrayed as limiting what little choice remains with respect to choosing re­spective PCPs. After all, I'm lucky that my current doctor has contracted to participate in the program (although his office informed me today that they were "still thinking about joining.") At least somebody is thinking.

Editor's note: An article explain­ing the new insurance program, QualChoice will run next week.

orientation (Sept. 8, "Inclusion of sexual orientation clause gateway for other groups' demands"). ·

Surely freedom from discrimina­tion is a laudable goal, one that the overwhelming majority of students at Wake Forest feel is worth pursuing. I think Hayes would protest that this is . precisely his objective too. I think he would say that his opposition is moti­vated by a concern for intellectual freedom - the freedom to express one's homophobia no matter what the direct or indirect effects on the.social consciousness. And I would tend to support that goal. But no appeal to noble goals, no matter how couched in the countermajority's rhetoric, can add logic where there clearly isn't any.

Hayes' argument for not extending the non-discrimination clause to in­clude sexual orientation can be dis­tilled down to this: if we extend the clause to include sexual orientation then (gosh) everyone would want in­cluded- and that would be bad. But there is a fatal flaw in Hayes' logic. He doesn't seem to recognize the ob­vious distinction between protective clauses for "the fat, the skinny, the tall, the national origin, race, gender, and sexual orientation." Not every­one is fat, or skinny. or tall, or short. Protective clauses for these groups might be advancing "special" rights by excluding those who do not fall into these specialized groups. But everyone has a national origin, a race, a gender, and (yes) a sexual orienta­tion. Hayes dismisses Brad Weidemann's lengthy explanation that adding sexual orientation to the.

I

non-discrimination clause acts as a two-edged sword. It would pre­vent'discrimimition of the hetero­sexual as weii as the homosexual.

"What discrilnination of the heterosexual?" you ask. Weii ... if the majority of discrimination that occurs based on sexual orienta­tion (or, perhaps ALL) is against homosexuals, that's just more of a justification for extending the

. clause, not a reason tq ~onclude that the clause would e~clude het­erosexuals. Hayes also makes a huge (and rather presumptuous) leap of logic when he suggests that those of us who supp~rt the extension of the clause are out to "socially re-engimier the-world." When it comes right down to it the case for extension can be made by asking yourself, "Are there any· gay, lesbian, or bisexual students and faculty on this. campus?" and then, "Do they or don't they be­long here?''

The case for extension answers both of these in the affirmative and argues for an institutional acknowledgement that not only are there homosexual students and faculty on campus, but that our sexual orientation shouldn't be an issue in our capacity as students and faculty members. The reality is that we are here, and we belong here, and I think I would find Hayes, and others who adhere to his line of illogic, hard-pressed to argue otherwise.. In fact, I dare them to.

Collegiate hobbies, habits perple:k. eXtratertestrlal',.visi tors··· R ecently, I was talking to a friend of-. Russ HUBBARD

mine as we were taking a study · -----------------­break and he told me about an article he had just STUDENT CoLuMNisT

read for one of his classes. It talked about a group of ----------------­aliens who visted our wondrous earth and were amazed at what their.op1ical organs showed them.

They saw a society filled with people who were slaves to these machines. The machines drove them to work everyday and in return they slaved away so they could feed the machines gasoline and pay all kinds of money to maintain them.

The article obviously went into more detail, but the logic. behind the story was clear and precise. It kind of made me wonder - what would aliens say if they hovered above the university for a couple of weeks, letting their tentacles sense the daily occurences of university life?·

I imagine it would go something like this. Alien I, whom I will call Weiner, and Alien 2, whom I will call Schnitzel, start off with a couple of pleasantries about the overall appearance of the campus before their conversation gets down to the true grit of the university.

Weiner: So, Schnitzel, maybe you ·can help me. I understand that each of them carries around a pet on their back with certain straps so that they don't fall off, and they frequently go to the library to feed these pets, but why do they throw paper substances all over the trees th~t gave them paper?

Schnitzel: "Well Weip.er, what can I say? It seems that they only throw the paper stuff on trees about once every two weeks. I wonder if it could be a mating ritual"

Weiner: "I'm afraid I don't really know if they have mating rituals here, or at least extended ones. The only mating ritual that 1 can d~te~U~~QC}!S every weekend when they appear to congregate, and then transfer these frothy liquids from container to container and eventu­ally imbibe them. But as far as ~ paper on the tree

goes, I'm stumped ... " Schnitzel: "Well, wait a minute! They use the paper

after bodily excretions, right?" Weiner: "Yes, they do." Schnitzel: "Well, in that case, maybe they throw the

paper.at the trees so that the tree can use the paper for its excretions!"

Weiner: "Holy - !" (At this point, they wrap ten­tacles in gleeful excitement.) I do believe you've fig-ured it out!" _

After this, they decide to go on back to the ship and enjoy a nice cloud of fungal spores and listen to some really cool music from the planet Sheboygen. They go off and return to their home planet, bring with them woeful tales of the demented humanoids who call themselves Demon Deacons. '

They talk of congregating youngsters who enjoy switching frothy liquids from container to container, adults who are apparently daytime guests of the stu­dents because they leave everyday and of trees that must be killed so that they have paper to wipe up their excretions every other week. ,

They also talk about inanimate pets that receive all kinds of attention from the Demon Deacons and indoor pet entertainment centers where all of the pets can hang out together. They talk of strange mating rituals (if that's what they are) and pretty soon they've come to the conclusion that before too long the humanoids will be gone, and they will have yet another planet which

.. they can colonize. It kind of makes you wonder ... Is this what our

founding fathers had in mind?

everyone should be settled down and finding some sort

of a routine in their lives. Withallof the social activities going on, you're probably finding it difficult to actu­ally sit down and study ("It's only the third week- I can't be behind already," you protest), but let's face it - academics are upon us and there's no turning back until May (or at least mid-December). Even though you probably vowed that you would not procrastinate (on those weekend assignments, espe­cially), it's inevitable that you'll find yourself staring at the empty piece

but there are times when you find yourself in class with a teacher (of any department, just for the record) who has writing guidelines so strict that you're terrified to write anything for fear of the wrath of the red pen.

Every assignment that is given has a list of constricting - oops, I mean practical rules that assures you a pa­per so dry that one would need a gallon of water just to get through the introduction.

Now, as you'resitting in your room thinking about what to write, I think it's important to remember a couple of things. First of all, while the fac­ulty may seem completely unap­proachable and or inflexible, it would definitely behoove you to talk with your professor about the assignment.

Tell him"'eril:!!r-about your won­derfully iclaginalive ideas,. because sometimes a teacher will like your ideas well enough to let you Lise them. Perhaps he or she set guidelines- to help those students who need a struc­tured assignment.

In any case, asking won't hurt that

much because all they can do is say no.

If they do reject your ideas, then you have to make a choice. Fol­lowing your professor's writing guidelines will likely get you a higher grade, but you may decide' afterward that it wasn't worth con­forming to somebody else's meth­ods. Writing the way you want to: might significantly lower your. grade, but at least you'll get the satisfaction of knowing that you stuck to your beliefs (for some, that; is no satisfaction). If your profes­sor sees that you disregarded his or· her advice (they will notice, be­lieve me) and does not punish you: with a lower grade, then you can: consider yourself a lucky individual who has an understanding profes-. sor.

Representatives from spousal abuse groups, including a justice of the New York Supreme Court, seem certain of his guilt and point their fingers at domestic violence as the root of the disaster.

It is truly an American tragedy. The real tragedy lies not, however, in the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman as much as in our reactions to them. The former is sad in itself, that two people are dead at the hands of some deranged individual, yet the latter ill is indicativeofaentire society having lost its passion for truth.

in the U.S. Constilution. Because justice and .truth are inseparable by nature, the principle underlying this inclusion is one of objectivity, in order to secure each of the aforementioned values.

All evidence is to be presented to a group of one's peers, who, setting aside all previous bias, engage in discussion of opposing views in search of truth- that is, that verdict which best withstands their scrutiny. In short, objec­tivity preserved, truth withstands question­ing.

Until all facts arc revealed, which occurs only by means of the trial itself, there is to be an assumption of innocence. Without all such fact and detail, which is to say before the trial's end, all opinions on guilt or innocence are premature and based on insufficient pre·­mises. Such is the status of all public opinion concerning the present case. Premature judge­mentis likely to find previous bias at its base,

and the aforementioned groups prove this to be the case today.

Background - ethnic, professional and political-has predisposed us to certain feel­ings. Background, nevertheless, is totally ir­relevant to truth. My being white does not necessitate O.J.' s guilt any more than another man's being African-American necessitates his innocence.

If one has chosen to actively combat spou­sal abuse, certainly a noble cause, that does not mean that a jealous husband was driven to murder.

The absurdity of illogical assertions of this type, I am sure, is evident to you, yet they are the assertions of the American people.

Understandably, the activities we passion­ately devote ourselves to condition us to par­ticular modes of thinking which shape our assessment of current issues. Though under7 standable, this phenomenon is also threaten­ing to truth and justice.

Objectivity was to insure these values, and it is objectivity that is stolen by our own inability to overcome the narrow-mindedness engendered by our backgrounds. Furtherance

of our respective causes, despite their nobil­ity, should never take precedence over truth.

The officials of our government in these same days shun compromise and try to defeat each other before the next election rather than encouraging open debate which, again, is designed on the principle that truth will with­stand unquestioning.

Rather than allow this to happen, they will filibuster and suspend debate. Additionally, they make their judgements on acts of the president as we do with O.J. Ignorant of the facts, his political supporters are his legal ones as well, while his opponents remain

·consistent also. Politics, it seems, is also unjustly given a

higher priority than truth. Some political game continues each day that affords the citizenry only entertainment. Our interests, however, are lost in the shuffle.

Perhaps the true significance of the Ameri­can tragedy lies herein. It is bad enough for our loss of objectivity to rob the accused of their right to justice, but even worse for the same lacking in our government to rob the right of us all to laws based on truth. But arc

they not representative of We the people? Have we not elected men and women whose biases mirror our own?

The failure, the tragedy, is ours to choose more virtuously initially or punish at the polls ultimately. Our constitution affords us a peaceful revolution at the polls when­ever our rights are threatened. They are threatened now, and this power must be exercised.

We must first, however, change our own mind set. We must remember that truth is C<:!Jtral to our system -of government and must be our supreme passion. When and only when we make it thus, will we cease to rob one another of our rights and rob our­selves by electing those who share not in this passion.

"Happy will it be ifourdzoice should be directed by.ajudicious estimate of our true interests, zmperplexed and unbiased by con­siderations not connected with the public .. good."

I yanked open the doorofthetent, hopefully to scare the animal away and not lose my right hand in its mandibles of death. I expected the worst, but there, in the soft glow of my flash­light was something that looked like a cross between a groundhog, a beaver and a skunk.

I had encountered one of the laziest, sleepi­est animals around. It seems that the marmot's biggest weapon is its stink. On this three­week trip, we saw mule deer, jackrabbits and a lone coyote. Nothing with a hint of man­dibles of death.

It is this sort of fear of the mandibles of death, however, that seems to drive the animal world. As creators and custodians of our own personalized environment, we humans don't experience that kind of raw, primal fear much any more.

On one hand, these are decidedly unhealthy urges with which to live peaceably in a civilized society. However, these instincts seem damn useful in the animal world. I have seen an environment where we cannot always control and subjugate our surroundings.

I have felt the cold sweat of knowing some­thing is two feet away from where I lay, smelling my humanity and evaluating meal­time possibilities. I have felt that animal in­stinct, both in the hungry eyes of the marmot and in my own distaste for spiders.

Maybe we could use more encounters with the big pawed animals of the world, mo~e brushes with instinct, if for nothing more than to recognize the significance of our own lives in the food chain.

The field hockey team showed' a remark­able turnaround this week, winning four games, three of them road contests, in a span of six days.

The Deacons defeated Appalachian State, Virgini~ Commonwealth, Virginia Tech and Stanford.

Fundamentally, the team was impressive, and seems to be jelling together.

"They are a lot more cohesive on the field as well as off the field," Head Coach Jennifer Averill said. "Technically they are more sound as well."

Tuesday night the team showed their im­provement in a 3-1 victory over Appalachian State. All of the Demon Deacon goals were scored in the first half of the contest. Junior Christen Horsey netted her first of the year 15 minutes into the half when she picked up a rebound off the ASU goalie.

Seven minutes later sophomore Nicole Serluco put in an unassisted tally from outside the circle. Sophomore Mary Moore helped fellow sophomore Susan Bowman contribute to the scoring less than a minute later to make the score 3-0 at the half.

Deacons down Appalachian 12-10 BY NICHOLAS ZACHOS

Ow Gow AND BLACK REPoRTER

Head Coach Jim Caldwell said last week that the Deacons were "in desperate need of a victory."

The Deacon defense carne up with an outstand­ing performance Saturday as they held the Appala­chian State Mountaineers scoreless in the second half en route to a 12-10 victory at Groves Stadium.

The Deacon defense allowed over 400 yards rushing in their previous contest and after the first half, the Deacons gave up over 100 yards rushing.

With the score 10-3 at halftime the Deacons seemed on track to r~pSj'i_t last week's performance, but the defense cl!l1'l~up wl.thJhe big plays in the fourth quarter to pull out the victory.

TheMohhtaineers controlled the ball for most of the first half, accumulating 165 yards. Quarterback Andy Arnold and tailback Chip Hooks combined for 94 yards rushing and 60 yards passing. Arnold also scored the only touchdown of the game with less than two minutes remaining in the half when Arnold ran 43 yards for the score on a.fourth down play. This put the pressure on the Deacon offense to come up with something big.

The Deacons started off slowly in the first half, punting on their first fourpossessi~s. J uniorquar­terback Rusty LaRue looked calmer than he did the week before in completing nine of 14 passes.

LaRue executed a pivotal scoring drive with 1:43 remaining in the first half. The Deacons began on their own 28 yard line and then LaRue took over. The Deacons marched up the field in 10 plays, covering 59 yards to set up sophomore Bill Hollows for a 30-yard field goal to end the half.

In the second half, both teams seemed to feel the pressure as they remained in a stalemate until LaRue took over the offense. LaRue once again executed the passing game beautifully as he led the Deacons up the field for 44 yards in eight plays that

They drove as far as the Appalachian 30 yard line before they were faced with-a fourth-down situa­tion. Caldwell once again called upon Hollows for the 47-yard attempt. He converted in dramatic fashion and put the Deacons into the lead for good.

The Mountaineers attempted to drive with four minutes left but on the first play, sophomore tackle Steve Vaughan sacked Arnold and forced another Mountaineer turnover. Vaughan recovered the fumble on the 34 yard line, securing the victory.

Caldwell commented on the intensity demon­strated by both teams: "That was a hard-fought football game. They showed amazing toughness and kept us off balance the entire game."

Hollows completed four of five field goal at­tempts for the victory and Caldwell felt that it was a great experience for the young place-kicker.

"It was very good for him to get an opportunity to kick under pressure," Caldwell said. "He took advantage of that opportunity and came through."

· This weekend Groves Stadium will be visited by the Florida State Seminoles. When asked about the game, Caldwell said "It will be a lot better going up against them with a win under our belts."

Veteran women~s tennis.te.am readies for assault on conference, national titles BY MICKEY KRAYNYAK

OUJ GOlD AND Bt.>.CK REPOHTER

Previewing the women's tennis fall warm-up season is a bit like preview~ ing the countdown to the launch ofthe space shuttle.

Everyone knows what is going to happen, everyone knows when it is going to happen, and everyone hopes that nothing goes wrong. In short, the hope is for predictability.

Such is life for Head Coach Lew Gerrard, junior Terry Ann Zawacki, sophomore Maggie Harris, and the rest of the Demon Deacon women's team.

Coming off a season in which the

Deacons advanced to the semifinals of the ACC Tournament, as well as a first-round win in the NCAA Tourna­ment, Gerrard and his squad are seek­ing only to hone themselves into ex­perienced shape before meeting the competitive spring season and its daunting ACC and national sched­ules.

The fall season Wduld appear to present few kinks in need of smooth­ing.

With the graduation of Liz Barker, Gerrard's team lost only one of its top . six players. In addition, the coach can look forward to the play of three new freshmen, whom Gerrard thinks can contribute immediately.

Junior Terry Ann Zawacki hopes to lead the Deacons to the top.

"We've only lost one (player) and I'm replacing one with three, and that

looks good for the future," the coach said.

The team also expects more good things from two of its top young stars.

Zawacki was last year's top seed in nearly all of the team's competitions, and Harris, who Gerrard himself de­scribed as the best athlete on the team, finished with the best singles record on the team last spring. These two should provide a highly formidable one-two punch for the Demon Deacon opponents.

Of Zawacki Gerrard said, "She's proved she can play with the best. She was one of three girls who beat the NCAA champion last year, so I'm expecting good things out of Terry Ann." .

Gerrard added that he expects more

maturity out of his No. l player this, her junior season.

Perhaps the most pressing questi• about this yeru's team concerns whi pairwillreplacelastyear'sNo. 1 (a nationally-ranked) doubles team Barker and Dana Evans, who is n• entering her senior season.

According to Gerrard, a comp• tion for this position is ongoing, thm cuFrently the team of Harris and j ior Patty Murren appear to be front-runners,

BY RoBERT NEELY OLD GOLD AND BLACK REPoRTER

The men's soccer team prepared for Sunday's ACC opener by sweeping Le'noir-Rhyn~. Appalachian State and The Citadel this week. ·

The Deacons (5-0) posted a 2-0 win .over the Bears and defeated the Moun­taineers 7-2 at Polo Field before travelling to The Citadel for a 5-0 win.

"We've gotten the wins we were look­ing for and the goals we were loo~ng for," said Interim Head Coach Jay Vidovich. ''We're moving in the right direction.· I was really happy that we stepped it up against Appalachian State."

Senior goalkeeper Mike McGinty . blanked The Citadel Wednesday, making two saves to earn his third shutout in just five games this year. The cohesive Dea­con defense blended perfectly together to permit just four shots the whole game, two of which reached McGinty. · ~cGir.ty's 18 career shutouts broke a school record set by Jose Grava de Peralta.

more Sebastian Mandart scored a minute apart late in the second half. ·

The Bulldogs fell to 0-5 with the loss. McGinty earned his second shutout of

the season by recording five saves in the 2-0 win over Lenior-Rhyne.

"We're fortunate to have guys who have proven themselves in the net;" Vidovich said. "(McGinty's) a gamer who has been there before." · ·

Mandart and junior Aaron Budzinski each recorded their first career goals. ·

The Deacons used five second-half goals to blast the Mountaineers in a 7-2 victory .. , Sophomore Josh Timbers and rreshman Thor Dotsenko each scored twice. Tim~ers is tied with and sophomore

"We're confident that someone can score a goal and that we don'thave to iook to a specific person," Vidovich said.

Hayes, senior Steve Schumacher, and senior Greg Harron also added goals. ·

The Deacons open their ACC slate with a key matchup with Virginia. The Cava­liers have won-the last three national cham­pionships and are currently ranked No. l.

Senior Andrew Chang provided all the scoring the Deacons would need. when he · scored the first o( his two goals just 6:44 into the game. Junior ErikBrandsma, who assisted on bOth of Chang's' tallies, also added a goal of his own atthe 15:52 mark.

Rusty LaRue in-the NFL? For the Panthers? Find out hoW: expanding into Charlotte anq Jacksonville, raising the total number of teams to 30, and the total number: of starting-caliber quarterbacks needed in the league to ()0.

For those dish-eart~ned w'ake Forest souls who are currently lamenting the football team's recent b1~mbling at the hands of their Tennessee hosts and Appalachian guests, a message from yours truly: ·

· Though confidence in offensive pilot Rusty LaRue may currently be fleeting (hey, every superfanfalters in belief once in a while), there is legitimate reason for .every Deacon fan to find a quiet area 011 campus, get down on his knees, and hope really hard that Wake Forest's own multi-sport wonder undergoes a swift ascension to the rari.koffeared quarterback. ·"Why,". you ask? Exhibit A: Opening Sunday's NFL action, the Hous-

ton Oilers, who had just finished a division-winning , season during which they were commanded by league­elite QB Warren Moon, find themselves, via free agency and an untimely injury in the early goings of their contest with the Indianapolis Colts, with none other than Bucky

. Richardson at the helm of their offense. That's right. Buck"Y who? ··

MICKEY KRAYNYAK

FROM THE PREssBOX

At any rate, the end of the game found the Oilers not only Faulked-up by a huge loss to the Colts, but also sporting none other than Bucky as the go-to guy in place ofinjured Cody Carlson. . . To provide a little background to this seemingly insig­nificant occurrence in Indianapolis, you may remember that last year the·NFL season was noteworthy for the season-ending injuries to a multitude of quarterbacks, including Dan Marino and Randall Cunningham.

In addition to this ongoing quarterback injury crisis, nearly all of today's elite QB's, including Marino, · Cunningham, Steve Young, Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, John Elway and so forth are over 30 years old, and approaching the ends of their careers.

Catching on yet? Exhibit B: Starting next season, the NFL will be
