Faculty Senate members said attheir meeting Tuesday that it willprobably not be possible torelease official faculty evaluationsbecause of the contractual issuesinvolved.
“My personal concern is thatthis falls quite close to beingcontractual,” said Faculty SenateChairman John Allison. “I canforesee someone introducing alawsuit saying his or her personalreputation was damaged (bymaking evaluations public).”
Senate member Roger Becksaid because the evaluations areused for tenure, promotion and
other evaluation issues within theindividual departments, they arekept private within the individualdepartments.
“There’s such variance on howwe measure teacher performancethat (releasing it could be)dangerous,” said Faculty Senatemember Bill Kirk. “If anybodycan present a measure on how todo that, I’d be in favor of that.”
Rick Tucker, chairman of theStudent Senate’s AcademicAffairs committee along withcommittee member Kelly Brown,attended the meeting to answerany questions the Faculty Senatemembers might have.

Eastern currently has the secondhighest rate of graduating minori tystudents in Illinois with 44 percent ofminority students reaching graduation,said Johnetta Jones, director of MinorityStudent Affairs.
Jones said 15 years ago only two outof 10 minority students graduated, andnow the rate has doubled to 44 percent.
She added that years ago only 10 to 12minority students would graduate eachsemester and now 45 to 50 minority
students graduate.“It is nice to see (minority students)
walk across the stage.”Jones said the universi ty ad-
ministrators do their best to make thecampus appealing to minority students.
“A survey of minority students is takenevery two years to deal with a situationbefore it explodes,” Jones said. “We areproactive to maintain a good campusclimate.”
Several university programs are alsoessential to maintaining a highenrollment of minori ty students atEastern.
Eastern’s Peer Helper programmatches incoming minority freshman ortransfer students with an upper classmanminority student to help the studentsadjust to life at Eastern, Jones said.
The Minority Admissions Programconsiders enrollment of minority studentswho do not meet regular admissionsrequirements, according to the 1994-95University catalogue. Jones said it is avery small program and not manystudents go through it.
Eastern also accommodated tominori ty students by adding fourorganizations to Greek Court, Jones said,
making minority students feel wantedand willing to stay.
Hencken said the Minority Affairsdepartment does a “very, very good job”with helping minority students.
Eastern’s immediate goal in the nextf ive to six years is to reach theUniversity of Il l inois in Champaignminority graduating rate of 52 percent,Jones said.
However, Jones said a major obstaclefor minority students when applying forcollege is the availability of student loansspecifically for minority students.

Seven Eastern students areresponding to the call for allblack male college students torepresent how they impact theircommunity, by marching inWashington D.C. later thismonth.
The Million Man March onOct.16, which was inspired byLouis Farrakhan, is a way to uniteblack males for one day in hopesto change the image of blackmales in society.
Farrakhan, the Nation of Islamleader, has found a way to get theblack community to cometogether and support the marchand understand the problems.
According to Chicago Tribunecolumnist Clarence Page, “Youonly have to look at thepredominance of black women inchurches, colleges and pro-fessional management and thepredominance of young blackmen in jails, unemployment linesand cemeteries to see the crisis.”
“We want to let society know
that we won’t stand and seeyoung black men get lost in thestreets,” said Mike Richardson,president of Omega Psi Phi. “Wehave seen too many young blackmen get lost in drugs and crime.”
On the day of the march, blackmales who are unable toparticipate are encouraged to usethe day for reflection.
“We don’t encourage thestudents to miss their classes,”Richardson said. “But we ask thestudents to honor the day by notworking.”
Also there will be a forum at 7p.m. Wednesday in Taylor Hall todiscuss what local activities willbe done on the day of the march,and to see if anyone else isinterested in going to
Washington.Demetrius Lane, graduate
adviser of Omega Psi Phi, saidthat they hopefully will organizea march on Eastern’s campusafter they get back fromWashington D.C.
Eastern students Kendric Hall,Kary Durham, Derrick Lane,Lane, Juan Lyle, Jason Synderand Richardson, will be going toWashington as representatives ofOmega Psi Phi.
Omega Psi Phi membersstressed their support of themarch rather than of Farrakhan.
“This march is a unification ofblack men to try to makesomething happen and show howimportant black males are in theworld,” Richardson added.
At the march, many businessplanning seminars will beavailable to students, ideas onhow to establish the NAACP willbe expressed at their respectiveuniversities and informativespeeches will be delivered toshow how students can make adifference in the campuscommunity.
We want to let societyknow that we won’t
stand and see young blackmen get lost in the streets.”

CHICAGO (AP) – A new study questionsthe value of cholesterol-lowering treatmentfor women who have high cholesterol butare otherwise healthy.
Cholesterol-lowering drugs and diets donot appear to reduce such women’s chancesof dying of heart disease, according toresearchers who reviewed past studies on thetopic.
That doesn’t mean healthy women neednot worry about high cholesterol.
High levels of total blood cholesterol areassociated with more than twice the risk ofdeath from heart disease in women under 65,and low levels of “good” cholesterol – high-density lipoprotein cholesterol – are linked
to double the heart-death risk in elderlywomen, the researchers noted.
But they questioned the value of choles-terol-lowering treatment for healthy womenwho have no other heart risks, such as highblood pressure or diabetes.
“Doctors see a lot of perfectly healthywomen with high cholesterol, and our find-ings suggest that bringing the levels downreally does not change their risk for heartdisease,” said Dr. Judith M.E. Walsh, leadauthor of the study published inWednesday’s issue of The Journal of theAmerican Medical Association.
Cholesterol experts not involved with herstudy cautioned against making too much of
the new findings.“I think there’s some other evidence they
didn’t take into account that incriminatescholesterol in women,” said Dr. BasilRifkind, senior scientific adviser at theNational Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
Cholesterol-lowering drugs can be costly– as much as $1,000 per year – and can haveside effects ranging from constipation andheart-rhythm abnormalities.
Their long-term consequences areunknown, a concern in younger women whocould end up being treated for decades, saidWalsh, an assistant professor of medicine atthe University of California at SanFrancisco.
Women die of heart disease – the nation’sNo. 1 killer – in equal numbers as men, butthey tend to develop the problem 10 to 15years later. Women ages 35 to 44 are lessthan one-fourth as likely to die of heart dis-ease as men in the same age group.
Walsh and her co-author, Dr. DeborahGrady, a UCSF associate professor of epi-demiology, biostatistics and medicine, stillrecommend treatment for high-cholesterolwomen with other risk factors.
Walsh and Grady analyzed informationfrom nine studies that involved men andwomen. The studies included about 22,000healthy women and 6,500 women with heartdisease.
Study questions cholesterol drug’s effect on women
WASHINGTON (AP) –President Clinton expressed sur-prise Tuesday at the sharp divisionbetween blacks and whites overO.J. Simpson’s acquittal and saidhe is deeply concerned “that we arestill polarized in some ways.”
“I do think we need to work onit,” the president said. “Because wedon’t have a stake in driftingapart.”
Clinton may address the need forracial harmony in a speech nextMonday in Austin, Texas, aidessaid.
Clinton said he’s been thinkingabout the subject a lot in recentdays and “The whole issue of rec-onciling races in America has beena passion of my life.” Clintonspoke at a joint news conferencewith Mexican President ErnestoZedillo, making his first state visitto Washington.
Simpson’s acquittal in the mur-der of his former wife, Nicole, andher friend, Ronald Goldman, hashighlighted a wide racial divide,with many whites upset with theverdict while many blacks weredelighted.
“I think what has struck allAmericans in the aftermath of thetrial is the apparent differences ofperception of the same set of factsbased on the race of American citi-zens,” Clinton said.
“I must say, even I – I thought Iknew a lot about how people of dif-ferent races viewed things inAmerica, but I have been surprisedby the depth of the divergence in somany areas, and I do think we needto work on it.”
Clinton said that blacks andwhites can have differences “but atleast we ought to be able to look atfacts and reach some common
judgment more frequently thanapparently we’re able to today.”
Clinton, standing alongsideZedillo, praised his handling ofMexico’s devaluation crisis lastwinter when the United Statesoffered a $20 billion line of creditto prevent a financial catastrophe.
“I did it because I have a visionof what our partnership will be inthe future,” Clinton said, “but Iseek no special advantage for theUnited States and certainly noinfluence over the internal affairsof Mexico.”
Since the bailout, he said, “eco-nomic growth has returned, eventhough in a fragile state, morequickly than it was anticipated.
Exports have returned to levelsthat exceed what they were pre-NAFTA.” Clinton noted thatMexico pledged last week to repay$700 million of its U.S. debt ahead
evaluations, I’d like to see what the results are,” Tucker said.“However, on a realistic and practical level we decided a differentroute would be the best way to do this.”
Tucker also said under the current tentative plan, the Student Senatewould provide faculty members with evaluation sheets for their stu-dents with questions including what types of tests and papers teachersgive out, along with a few evaluative questions.
“We’re mostly looking at hard core things you can say yes or no to,”Tucker said.
Several of the Faculty Senate members also said alternatives areavailable.
“One of the possibilities if you do a straw poll is to use the computersystem to let students put their comments on particular course,” saidsenate member French Fraker.
Faculty Senate member Jayne Ozier suggested that another possiblealternative to releasing the official evaluations would be for facultymembers to release a few paragraphs on their teaching, testing andevaluation style to help students analyze the class and faculty.
Ozier also said there is a possibility faculty members could choosewhether or not to release the evaluations, which had been done in thepast.
“We’re not out to get faculty, but to make sure students get a qualityeducation,” Brown said.
anything about,” Jones said.Although Eastern has a relatively low tuition, many students do not
want to be responsible for paying loans back after graduation.Freshman graphic design major James McRay, a black student, said
Eastern was not a big transition for him because his brother is a seniorhere.
“There could be more minorities, but it is not as bad as other universi-ties,” McRay said.
Mark Coleman, a sophomore marketing major and also a black student,said he can still see a lot of tension between whites and blacks, although itseldom causes any problems on campus.
Coleman said Eastern welcomes everyone with open arms and facultyare always willing to talk if there is a problem.
Higher graduation of Eastern’s total enrollment is also a top priority foradministrators.
Vice President of Student Affairs Lou Hencken said Eastern’s gradua-tion rate is currently about 60 percent, although the number of transfer stu-dents is not taken into account.
“The goal of everyone is to have equal graduation rates (of minority andnon-minority students),” Hencken said.
The small campus, emphasis on teaching degrees and ratio of teachersto students are factors that retain students at Eastern, Jones said.
“(Eastern) has a fairly positive campus climate,” Jones said. “It is notperfect, but better than other places.”
The keys to success in retention of students are good advising and a car-ing faculty, Jones said.

CHICAGO (AP) – Immunizing American infantsagainst the most common cause of severe diarrhea inchildren could prevent more than 1 million cases ayear – and save nearly a half billion dollars, a newstudy found.
A vaccine designed to fight rotavirus diarrhea couldbecome available next year. Rotavirus is blamed for3.1 million cases of diarrhea and 125 deaths annuallyin infants and young children in the United States.
The virus affects more than 75 percent of childrenby their fifth birthday, estimates show.
So the study’s authors, all doctors at the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, analyzedwhat would have happened to 4.1 million childrenborn in 1991 up to their fifth birthday if the vaccinewas included in the U.S. national immunization pro-gram.
Their findings were published in October’s issue ofPediatrics.
The research assumed the vaccine would preventonly about half the cases of rotavirus diarrhea,although some studies have found the number to be
higher, said Dr. Roger Glass, one of the study’s authorsand chief of the CDC’s viral gastroenteritis unit.
In cases it did not prevent, the researchers estimatedthe vaccine would reduce by half severe cases thatresult in a doctor’s visit, hospitalization or death.
And they figured the cost of the vaccine at $30 adose, basing their figure on the costs of other vaccina-tions and estimates from the companies developing thevaccines.
Such a vaccine program – administered in threedoses to infants along with other routine vaccines –would cost $243 million a year, the study found.
But it would prevent more than a million cases ofrotavirus diarrhea, 58,000 hospital visits and 82 deathsa year.
In terms of decreased medical costs for doctor’s vis-its, hospital stays and laboratory tests, the immuniza-tion would actually save $79 million.
And adding in the money saved from productivitycosts, such as a parent missing work to care for a sickchild, the study found the immunization programwould yield a net savings of $466 million.

American Indian traveler and educatorLynn Young-Buck will be on campusFriday to set up a teepee and talk abouttraditional family life and strong spiritu-ality of American Indian tribes.
Young-Buck will be in the library quadfrom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday to set up anAmerican Indian teepee and talk aboutthe culture.
Traditional Indian Life WaysOrganization, a new organization oncampus founded this year by TomLeonard, a building service worker inWeller Hall, is co-sponsoring the presen-tation in the attempt to increase aware-ness of American Indian culture onEastern’s campus.
Leonard said the goal of the presenta-tion is to educate people on the AmericanIndians true way of life, not the way theyare portrayed in movies.
“If students are wanting to know aboutAmerican Indians’ way of life, this is onepresentation they should go and see,”Leonard said.
“We have a very spiritual life connect-ing us with the blades of grass on up tothe birds in the sky and everything inbetween,” Young-Buck said.
Young-Buck will demonstrate how tomake a teepee and show students thehand made tools that American Indiansuse to build the teepee’s. She will alsoshow a sacred pipe or “peace pipe” handmade by American Indians in 1820.
Young-Buck said she will welcomeany questions or comments students haveabout her demonstration.
Young-Buck became involved intracking down the traditional arts andsharing her findings with others in Juneof 1977 when she went to Fort deChartes in Southern Illinois.
Every June, Indians dress in pre-1840dress and do a primitive re-enactment
called “Rendesvaus.”“I had come home,” Young-Buck said.
“I was where I belonged. All of a suddenI was reconnecting with old memoriesgone by. It was a wonderful learningexperience.
“We are seventh generation and that isvery important to all Native Americans. Iteach the traditional family life and itgives the students a better understandingof our culture and beliefs,” Young-Buckadded. Young-Buck has been givingpresentations since 1977, primarily atgrade schools, although she also has beento several college campuses.
Young-Buck said her maternal grand-father, a Chiracahua Indian, was the per-son who influenced her the most to learnabout her heritage. Her Fox Indian,Chiracahua band of the Apache, andCherokee Indian background inspires herto educate others about American Indiantraditions.

The Faculty Senate Tuesday decided to forwardthe issue of reform of the Telefund to the BudgetOversight Committee for further review and rec-ommendations on how to improve the program.
“It would be nice if the (committee) took thisand went ahead and looked into it further,” senatemember Lankford Walker said.
Several faculty members are concerned aboutthe Telefund’s high overhead costs for running theprogram, which has exceeded 50 percent in someareas.
Senate members Gail Richard and JoanSchmidt formulated a memo outlining employ-ment costs and administrat ive fees in theTelefund.
“Administrative costs are high even in depart-ments who use their own faculty (to solicit funds)there stil l is a loss of 15 percent or more,”Richard said.
The Telefund is an alumni-based programwhere volunteer faculty or employed students callalumni and solicit funds for individual depart-ments.
Richards said as the Telefund money is movedfrom different areas, administrative fees aretacked on more than once causing profit cuts ofup to 5 percent in some smaller departments.
If departments have low numbers of voluntaryfaculty, they are forced to employ students to con-duct the Telefund efforts, which raises overheadcosts and cuts profits, Richard said.
Senate member Hal Nordin said hiring studentshas other disadvantages.
“I’ve been involved in calling for years, andstudents making calls have a low success rate ofgaining funds,” Nordin said. “When I make thecalls there’s a high success rate.”
Nordin said calling alumni in his departmentalso reconnects relationships with past students,which often prompts larger contributions.
“We get the benefit that we keep in touch withalumni, and down the line we’ll get a lot moremoney from that,” he said.
Richard said other costs, such as the adminis-trative service fee and the Foundation service fee,have cut into Telefund profits.
The Foundation charges a 3 percent service feefor transferring funds from the Foundation toindividual departments, because initially all alum-ni gifts are deposited into the Foundation.
The administration also takes 3 percent annual-ly from the Telefund because it is policy to assessall local alumni gifts.
Individual colleges also take 5 percent of thefunds for depositing the money into individualdepartments within the college.
“I’m not bashing (the Telefund) ... it has posi-tive benefits, but we need to look for a way to doit more efficiently,” Richard said. “My point wasto put it on someone’s agenda to look into theprocess.”
Eastern President David Jorns said theTelefund is a good way to gain funds and keep upalumni relations, but changes in the program arenecessary.
“(The Telefund) is not efficient,” Jorns said.“And it is good to look into this – all statementsmade here are true.”

The preliminary hearing for anEastern faculty member facing drugcharges has been rescheduled.
Associate English professor TheodoreK. Quinn, 53, was scheduled to appearin Coles County Circuit Court oncharges of manufacturing cannabis andunlawful production of cannabisTuesday.
Prosecuting attorney Dale Righterrequested that the trial be rescheduledfor 11 a.m. Monday in Courtroom 3 ofthe Coles County Court House. Righter
is responsible for prosecuting cases forthe East Central Illinois Task Force.
Quinn’s arrest was the result of offi-cers from the task force, using a searchwarrant, finding eight cannabis plants ina cultivated garden area on his ruralCharleston property on July 31.
Righter has refused to comment as towhat evidence was used to gain thesearch warrant.
Quinn, who was not at his residenceat the time of the search, was arrestedSept. 12 on a warrant put out for hisarrest.
No evidence at the scene indicatedthat Quinn was drying the plants for use.
The manufacturing of cannabis is aClass 3 felony punishable by anywherefrom probation to 2 to 5 years in prison.Unlawful production of cannabis, aClass 4 felony, is punishable by proba-tion or 1 to 3 years in prison.
Quinn, who has no prior drug convic-tions, remains on the university staff asan associate professor. University offi-cials are refusing to speculate on possi-ble penalties facing Quinn or even whatoffice would handle the punishment ifhe is found guilty.
The university currently has no policyin effect concerning faculty membersgrowing cannabis.
Quinn preliminary hearing rescheduled
In 1929, Supreme Court JusticeOliver Wendell Holmes said theremust be freedom not only “forthose who agree with us, but free-dom for the thought we hate.”
On this foundation, editorialpages exist in newspapers acrossthe country – a page or moredevoted to expressing the opinionsof an editorial board, variouscolumnists, cartoonists and readers.
In The Daily Eastern News,Page 4 has been designated for thispurpose. The page – arguably the most controversial andwidely discussed page in the paper – consists of four separateparts, all representing different segments of the newspaper.
The top of the page consists of a column written by aweekly columnist or a guest columnist each Thursday. Thecolumn reflects the opinion of the columnist only, not the edi-torial board or the newspaper as a whole.
The left side of the page is devoted to an editorial express-ing the opinion of a six-person editorial board made up of theeditor in chief, the managing editor, the news editor, the asso-ciate news editor, the editorial page editor and a representa-tive from the rest of the staff. The board meets weekly to dis-cuss and take stands on campus, local and national issues.
To the right of the editorial is a daily cartoon drawn by car-toonists who are not members of the reporting staff or editori-al board. The cartoon represents the opinion of the cartoonistonly and is sometimes related to the editorial or column topicand sometimes on a separate subject.
Space at the bottom of the page is set aside for readers toexpress their opinions on campus, local or national issues, oron The News’ coverage or handling of those issues.
Taken together, the page often expresses several opposing,or at least divergent, views. But all the parts of the page sharea common trait in that they exist to express people’s opinions.
Segments of the page are sometimes criticized for tacklingtouchy issues or, oddly enough, being too opinionated. But itis important to remember that freedom of expression, the verytenet of a free society, applies to all opinions, even those wedisagree with. Every idea and view deserves a chance to be
stated. In turn, every person has aright to criticize, disagree with andaltogether reject that idea or view.
But to silence opinions thatsome deem offensive or controver-sial is counterproductive. If racistopinions aren’t expressed, how canwe know that racism exists andneeds to be remedied? If sexistviews aren’t stated, how can weknow sexism is a reality that needsto be eliminated?
It is one thing to surround your-self with people who think the way you do, who don’t offendyou and who argue for the same things you do. But pretend-ing other opinions don’t exist or trying to eliminate them byshutting them up is not realistic.
The first American newspaper, Publick Occurrences BothForeign and Domestic, was shut down in 1690 after only oneissue was published because it attacked the English allies andthe French king.
Prior to the Civil War, it was illegal in many states to say orwrite that slavery should be abolished and postmasters werepermitted to censor abolitionist literature. Even during thewar, President Lincoln prohibited mailing of any “treasonablecorrespondence” and ordered newspapers shut down.
Silencing these views didn’t make them go away. It simplycaused their believers to find alternate means and areas toexpress themselves. The only way to effectively remedy aproblem is to bring it into the public’s eye, discuss it and col-lectively find its solution. Ignoring opinions does not equaleliminating them.
Today, the Supreme Court has continuously and firmlystood behind the freedom of expression and overruled numer-ous attempts at abridging First Amendment rights.
We too must do our part. Opinions are opinions, no matterhow offensive, biased or altogether ignorant we may findthem, and they deserve to be stated.
In The News, those opinions are stated on Page 4.

Teacher evaluationsshould be openfor students’ review
Different opinions part of free society
HEIDI KEIBLERRegular columnist
“...pretendingother opinionsdon’t exist ortrying to elimi-nate them byshutting themup is not realis-tic.”
Instructors always give students a syllabusdescribing the classes before lessons even begin.
Shouldn’t the students also receive some sort ofinformation describing the style of a professor?
The Student Senate wants to open teacher evalu-ations to the public. Many Faculty Senate mem-bers resisted the idea at their Tuesday meeting, cit-ing a bizarre fear of lawsuits and preferring only tosay if they test using essays or multiple choice.
But this should not stop the Student Senate fromgetting a rightful look at the style and likability oftheir would-be instructors. Opening fully the stu-dent evaluations would allow for greater account-ability, protect students from teachers who get lazy
after getting tenure, andpoint students to teacherswith a friendly style.
Matching a student’sstyle with a teacher can help performance.Students who prefer lectures over group debatescould use the evaluations to find a class that bettersuits their needs, for example.
Also, opening evaluations would protect stu-dents against professors who don’t care or don’tteach well. Professors who have abandoned goodteaching for a lackadaisical attitude or their ownpersonal agenda could be more easily avoided.
Professors, in turn, would have to make positivechanges to make classes more educational.
Instructors who deem the evaluations as privatebusiness must learn to swallow their pride. Theirjob, as teachers, is to inform and educate students,thus preparing them for their future.
By allowing students to find out how an instruc-tor teaches, the university will give students thechance to enter a situation where they can retainand learn more.
Some argue the evaluations don’t give enoughinformation to answer student concerns – such as ifa teacher lectures or not. If so, the evaluationsshould be changed to allow for better questions.
Another fear is teachers will make a student-friendly, or easier, style. Maybe, but those whomake serious improvements will outnumber thosewho pander.
Insecure professors will cry foul. But evalua-tions only help students. The Student Senateshould push on, no matter what faculty memberssay.
Editorial
Dear editor:I believe it is necessary to correct a
number of errors and implied errorsrelating to The Daily Eastern News inBrian Anderson’s recent letter to theeditor (“Senate made correct decisionabout hikes,” Oct. 4).
Anderson said, “The News is one of afew papers in the country that printsfive days a week . . .” The fact is thatthe University of Illinois at Champaign,Southern Illinois University inCarbondale, Illinois State University,Northern Illinois University, North-western University and Eastern all pro-duce student dailies of the more than100 produced in the United States.
Anderson said the paper is printed “atan extreme cost to us.” Granted, a dailynewspaper costs a lot to run. However,Eastern students, as a whole, pay$33,000 a year and each receive 170-plus editions of the paper. That worksout to less than $3.30 per student peryear or 1.9 cents per copy. This is thelowest cost per copy of any student
newspaper in Illinois. It is hard to seehow 1.9 cents per copy or $3.30 centsper year are extreme costs. Actually, itseems to me it’s a real bargain.
Anderson said, “. . . this is the samepaper that raised advertising costs forstudents . . .” The above pays less thanhalf of the cost of the raw newsprint,which has increased from $465 per tonlast year to more than $720 per ton thisyear. Most of the costs of operating TheNews are covered through advertisingrevenue. Those display ad rates (forthose ads that are usually boxed and runthrough the paper) have increased onaverage 6 percent. These ads are run bycommercial enterprises and studentorganizations.
However, classified ad rates for stu-dents have not been raised in years.These are the ads individual studentsusually run. In addition, The News pro-vides campus organizations with freeinformational Campus Clips for all non-money-making events.
Anderson said The News “charges the
Red Cross Blood Drive for advertisingspots. . .” The News ran eight articlesabout the blood drive beginning theFriday before the drive and ending theMonday after the drive. In fact, therewas something about the blood driveevery day.

The University Board in April is bringing a portionof the NAMES Project AIDS Quilt to Eastern’s GrandBallroom in the Martin Luther King Jr. UniversityUnion.
According to a release from the NAMES Project, theAIDS Memorial Quilt was created in honor of the peo-ple who have died from AIDS. Gay rights activistCleve Jones, and a group of volunteers started the Quiltin San Francisco in 1987.
Each panel of the quilt represents a person who hasdied from AIDS. Currently, the quilt has 29,000 panelsand is the size of 11 football fields, according to therelease. The NAMES Project has national and interna-tional chapters.
A portion of the Quilt, (16 to 20 sections) will be dis-played sometime between April 3-9 in the Ballroom,said Anne Hofferkamp, a senior elementary educationmajor and coordinator of the Human Potential
Committee.“We are looking for more people to get involved,”
Hofferkamp said. “This is very important and it’s some-thing we all should get involved in, especially our gen-eration.”
Hofferkamp is looking for organizations on campusand in the community who are willing to donate moneytowards the Quilt fund, or to provide programs orspeakers to accompany the event.
“This is something that’s a really big deal,”Hofferkamp said. “UB wants to make it a communityand campus-wide event.”
If 20 panels are displayed in the Ballroom, the Quiltwould cover 63 feet by 80 feet, Hofferkamp said.
Anyone interested in making a panel to donate to theQuilt may obtain the necessary information throughHofferkamp at 581-5117.
According to the release, portions of the quilt are dis-played 1,600 times a year in churches, businesses,museums, hospitals, shopping malls, community cen-ters, high schools and colleges across the country.

Monday kicks off NationalCollegiate Alcohol AwarenessWeek, a time to educate studentsabout the problems associated withalcohol and underage drinking.
Todd Heinen, health educationcoordinator for University HealthService, said the week will help stu-dents realize how alcohol affects themind and body.
“The main focus of the week is toeducate the university students andstaff about issues related to alco-hol,” Heinen said. He added theparallel focus of the week is to pro-vide drinking alternatives for stu-dents and staff.
Heinen said he hopes the weekwill bolster awareness and that stu-dents will be able to use the infor-mation to help themselves as wellas others with alcohol questions.
Alcohol information tables andbulletin boards will be set upthroughout the week in the bridgelounge of the Martin Luther King Jr.University Union and on the fifthfloor of Stevenson Hall.
A car wrecked by a drunken driv-er will be displayed in the LibraryQuad to show students the severityof drinking and driving, one of theprimary focuses of the week, saidLynette Drake, director of orienta-tion and coordinator for theAlcohol, Drugs and AIDSInformation office.
Drake said information regardingdrinking and driving will be dis-played in the windows of thewrecked car.
Red ribbons symbolizing “peo-ple’s awareness and empathy forthose whose lives have been affect-ed by alcohol” also will be passedout by Delta Sigma Theta through-out the week, Drake added.

The Student Senate Wednesday will get its first lookat an amendment to the Student Body Constitutionwhich allows students to directly amend the constitu-tion.
Student Government will meet at 7 p.m. in theArcola-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr.University Union.
The amendment would allow students and senatemembers to submit amendments to the constitution andmake constitutional revisions without first receivingapproval from the senate.
The amendment allows for changes to the constitu-tion if a person obtains signatures from 15 percent ofthe student body in support of the amendment. The newamendment stipulates that the amendment be submittedto the Student Government Elections Commission by aspecified date as well.
Senate members would be able to call for a revisionto the constitution by a two-thirds vote of the senate.The Student Body President would then appoint a com-mittee to make suggestions on the proposed revision,
and their suggestions would then require another two-thirds vote by the senate to be passed.
Senate member Bryan Gutraj, who authored theamendment, said the amendment allows students adirect influence in Student Senate affairs.
“By clearly presenting ways for students to amendthe constitution themselves, the students will have amuch stronger voice among their elected student lead-ers on campus,” said Gutraj in a press release.
Gutraj has declined any questions from the mediauntil the amendment is voted on.
Senate Speaker Kevin Piket said he expects theamendment will be tabled this week and voted on at theOct. 18 meeting, with little discussion on it tonight.
The other revisions in the amendment primarily dealwith grammar changes and clarifications to existingsections of the constitution.
Piket also said the senate Wednesday will approvethe resignation of senate member Bob McLaughlin.
Piket said the vacancy of McLaughlin and those cre-ated by other recent senate resignations will probablynot be filled by senate appointments.
“We’re to the point where elections are so close we’lljust fill them in November,” Piket said.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Thestate of America’s black men ismeasured with sweeping statistics –too few in the classrooms and boardrooms, too many on the streets,behind prison walls and in earlygraves.
For individuals, there is a morepersonal accounting: the cabs thatbuzz past researcher RichardMajors when he tries to flag themdown on a busy Washington corner;the way some whites steel theirjaws and avert their eyes whenbookstore clerk Albert Pollard stepsinto an elevator; the frequency withwhich police stop college senior
Shawn Barney for no reason.No matter how they succeed,
many black men feel feared andmistrusted. They say it’s a problemblack women don’t share, becausethey aren’t perceived as threatening.
The men’s frustration and angeris shared across economic lines.
And it’s part of the pull of theMillion Man March, a giant rallyfor black males planned inWashington next Monday.
“I’ve done everything societyasked me to do – worked hard,gone to the good schools, I dresswell – and I cannot get a taxi duringthe day,” said Majors.
HYDER, Ariz. (AP) – FBIagents hunting the saboteur whoderailed an Amtrak train workedTuesday to determine whether the“Sons of Gestapo” is really ananti-government terrorist groupor just someone with a grudgeagainst the railroad.
The FBI expanded its painstak-ing search for evidence to a mile-square area surrounding the gulchwhere the Sunset Limited lurchedoff a damaged track and askedthe public for help finding theculprit.
The train jumped the tracks atthe damaged section early
Monday, toppling 30 feet from abridge, killing a crew memberand injuring at least 78 people.
A letter found at the scenementioned federal raids on right-wing extremists at Waco, Texas,and Ruby Ridge, Idaho. It wassigned “Sons of Gestapo,” raisingfears the sabotage was the workof anti-government extremists.
FBI officials held a brief newsconference six miles from thescene Tuesday, but offered littleinsight into the investigationcalled “Operation Splitrail,”refusing to comment about theletter.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Colorado’s solici-tor general ran into skeptical questions fromseveral Supreme Court justices Tuesdaywhen he argued the state’s citizens have theright to prohibit laws that protect homosexu-als from discrimination.
“I would like to know whether in all ofU.S. history there has ever been anythinglike this,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg toldthe state’s lawyer, Timothy M. Tymkovich,
who asked the court to reinstate the ban.Tymkovich did not provide an example.
But he argued voters have the right to barstate and local laws giving homosexuals“special protection” from bias in housing,employment and public accommodations.
The case is the most important involvinghomosexual rights to come before the courtin nearly 10 years.
In a 1992 referendum, 53.4 percent of
Colorado voters approved the amendment tothe state’s constitution. But the ColoradoSupreme Court invalidated the amendmentbefore it could take effect, saying it deniedhomosexuals an equal voice.
Jean E. Dubofsky, lawyer for the citiesand individuals who challenged the amend-ment, said it denies homosexuals a politicalright enjoyed by everyone else – the chanceto seek protection from discrimination.
Tymkovich said Colorado voters approvedthe amendment in response to the successhomosexuals had in winning enactment ofanti-bias ordinances in Denver, Boulder andAspen.
But Justice David H. Souter was skeptical.“Why is discrimination against one group
dealt with under state law differently thandiscrimination against other groups?” heasked.

MANZANILLO, Mexico (AP) – Wearing surgicalmasks and wielding pickaxes, rescue workers dugthrough the wrecked masonry of a collapsed hotelTuesday, searching for survivors of an earthquake thatdevastated a long stretch of Mexico’s west coast.
Some tourists were believed to be among thetrapped, but information about them was unavailable.
At least 56 people were killed and more than 90injured in Monday’s 7.6-magnitude tremor, which top-pled homes, cracked bridges, split highways and cutpower and phone services.
Hundreds of buildings were wrecked or damagedalong a 250-mile stretch of coast – an estimated 800homes in the state of Jalisco and as many as 400 in theneighboring state of Colima.
In towns and villages, residents cleaned streets,removed fallen tree branches and righted toppled tele-phone poles. They also buried the dead and tried toreassemble their lives.
“We are awaiting more precise information, butobviously it is a tremendous tragedy,’’ Gen. EnriqueCervantes Aguirre, the defense secretary, saidTuesday.
Cervantes said 44 dead were counted shortly beforenoon in Colima alone Jalisco Gov. Alberto CardenasJimenez said at least 10 died in his state.
The two states contain some of Mexico’s most pop-ular beach resorts.
Minutes after Cervantes spoke, rescue workers inhard hats pulled the bodies of a woman and a childfrom the wreckage of the eight-story Costa RealHotel, raising the total to 56 dead.
Tuesday’s searches had yielded no survivors bymidafternoon. As trained dogs sniffed for signs of life,workers used picks and shovels to comb throughchunks of broken masonry.
The lack of success and the painfully slow pace ofthe work made the strenuous job even more discour-aging. Masks protected rescuers from dust and theodor of dead bodies.
“I haven’t rested since yesterday,’’ federal judicialpolice Officer Pedro Sandoval said.
Other exhausted officers and rescue workerssprawled nearby, some grabbing quick naps. On theother side of the hotel pool, a makeshift morgue hadbeen set up.
Earthquake devistates MexicoAt least 56 people killed, over 90 injured
WASHINGTON (AP) – In astring of party-line committeevotes, Republicans methodicallyturned aside Democratic assaultsTuesday on legislation intendedto squeeze $270 billion fromMedicare over seven years.
Democrats attacked the mea-sure from every angle, callingfor greater protections for con-sumers in one amendment, assur-ances that managed-care patientswould have access to specialistsin another, and, in a third,tougher anti-fraud provisions.
Those proposed changes – andmore – were swatted aside in acontentious, daylong HouseWays and Means Committee ses-sion that signaled Republicanunity was holding despite a with-ering political attack fromDemocrats.
“You shouldn’t call thisMedicare Plus, you should call itMedicare Minus,’’ DemocraticRep. Sam Gibbons of Florida
said of the name Republicanshave given their proposal tomake health maintenance organi-zations and other managed-careoptions available as an alterna-tive to traditional fee-for-serviceMedicare.
“Fee for service is still there,’’retorted Rep. Clay Shaw, a fel-low Floridian. “We’re not herd-ing anybody into managedcare.’’ The Ways and MeansCommittee was one of two pan-els in the GOP-controlled Housemeeting on the RepublicanMedicare legislation.
The Commerce Committee,which shares jurisdiction overMedicare, arranged a session as
well, and both panels wereexpected to bless the legislationby midnight Wednesday.
That would advance the bill tothe House floor for a votescheduled next week. A similarbill is pending in the Senate.
Republicans say their proposalis necessary to stave offbankruptcy for Medicare. Butthey also are counting on the$270 billion in savings as a keyingredient of their plan to erasethe deficit by 2002. AndDemocrats say the GOP’s truemotive is to find the money tohelp pay for tax cuts for the richthat are embedded in their bal-anced-budget proposal.
The sustained Democraticattack on the issue has coincidedwith a slide in public approvalratings for the Republicans, andGOP party leaders moved duringthe day to try to reassure rank-and-file lawmakers and regainthe political offensive.
GOP defends proposed Medicare cuts
CHESTER (AP) – Those who live there call it “ThePit,” as apt a description as any for Illinois’ largestmaximum-security prison and the limestone bluffstowering above it on two sides.
For many of the 2,600 inmates at MenardCorrectional Center, the nickname covers more thanthe geography. Menard, after all, is not a nice place.
“Sit down when shots are fired,” warns signs postedall over the prison mess hall. Dangling from the ceil-ing are large sheets of white plywood with small dentsleft by a guard’s warning shots.
“This place is a death trap, if you really want toknow the truth about it,” said Andre Jackson ofChicago, serving eight years for robbery. “I wouldn’twish Menard on my worst enemy.”
Warden Thomas Page and his guards wouldn’t goquite as far but agree the 117-year-old prison along theMississippi River can be very dangerous.
Five guards have been killed on duty since 1965.Assaults by inmates on both guards and other inmatesare common. One of every three prisoners is a con-
victed murderer.“You’ve heard the expression, `We live day-by-
day’?” Page said. “Well, it’s hour-by-hour over here.”Overcrowding has turned a difficult job into an
explosive one; Menard’s aging structures weredesigned to hold only 1,612 inmates.
“It’s not built for modern-day criminals,” AssistantWarden Roger Cowan said.
Menard was made with stone carved from the 30-to 40-foot bluffs to its east and south. Although the41-acre prison’s tall, razor-wire-topped walls aresound, keeping the electricity and plumbing workingis a never-ending challenge, Cowan said.
Menard is like a tiny village with its own watertreatment plant, laundry, store and clinic.
In its factories, the best-behaved inmates are paid tomake brooms, towels, cigarettes and other items. Theprison even has a 2,400-acre farm, where prisonersraise hogs and cattle.
Atop one bluff sits a somber-looking castle where56 condemned men wait.
Menard prison is tough on the roughest
SALFIT, West Bank (AP) –Israeli troops handed a militarygovernment office to the PLOand drove from this Palestinianvillage under a volley of stonesTuesday, the first day of theirWest Bank pullback.
With the stones camePalestinians’ impassionedshouts: “Go and never comeback.”
The handover – a brief, unre-markable ceremony with cookiesand soft drinks – marked thebeginning of a six-month processthat will end 28 bitter years ofmilitary occupation for 1 millionPalestinians in the West Bankand grant them self-rule.
Israel also released some 700Palestinian prisoners, out of1,000 slated to be freed Tuesday,to mark the start of implementa-tion of the accord signed Sept.28 after months of negotiations.
Prison Authority SpokesmanMoshe Malul said 780 prisonerswere expected to be released byTuesday. Army radio said thefigure probably would reach 840.
“We are starting a new stage.Our war with the Jews hasended,” said Mohammed Jerar,
who was just a few days short ofcompleting a seven-year sen-tence for stabbing a suspectedPalestinian informer.
The releases were marred bydelays, confusion and PLO accu-sations over Israel’s refusal topardon four Palestinian womenprisoners. A clause in the agree-ment says all female detaineesare to be freed in the first stage.
Despite the violence in Salfitand the fresh arguments over theprisoners, the two sides seemeddetermined to turn the 400-pageagreement into a new reality.
“We knew ahead of time thatit would not be so simple toovercome ... the animosity andeven the hatred,” said IsraeliEcon-omics Minister YossiBeilin, who played a key role innegotiations with thePalestinians. “I am sure we aregoing to overcome the currenthurdles and obstacles.”
“I think this can all be solvedif there is a real feeling betweenthe parties that what we are cre-ating is an irrevocable, long-termpeace,” said Palestinian PlanningMinister Nabil Shaath, a formerchief negotiator with Israel..

By DAN FIELDSAssociate sports editor
Nothing has come easy to PeteMauch, and that suits him justfine.
“Everything has always been afight and a challenge for me,”said the senior quarterback fromNaperville. “It’s been like that mywhole sports career.”
Even as the Suburban CatholicConference’s offensive most valu-able player when he prepped atWheaton St. Francis, Mauch ex-plained that he did not get thatmany offers to continue playingfootball in college.
“When I came down to schoolhere for the first time, my dad andI were talking about how thingswould work out,” Mauch said.“This is pretty much how we pic-tured it.”
Mauch visited Eastern in thespring of his senior year and,although not offered a scholar-ship, was given the opportunity tomake the team after talking toassistant coach John Smith.
“Coach Smith showed me
around and said‘we would bemore than happyto let you walkon,’” Mauch said.“Things just tookoff from there.”
But Mauch keptin the back of hismind that he wan-ted to choose aschool that hadmore to offer thanjust a football pro-gram.
“Being a walk-on, I didn’t knowwhat to expect,”Mauch said. “Icame down here to first go toschool, (and) second to play foot-ball. That way, if football didn’twork out, I would be at a school Iwould enjoy.”
The 5-foot-10 Mauch stood inthe shadow of starter Jeff Thornewhen he arrived in Charleston.But when Thorne left, Mauchknew there would be a battle tosee who would obtain the startingspot at the beginning of his junior
year.Northern Illinois transfer Ron
Reichert, sophomore Mark Doh-erty and freshman Mark Swinningall battled for the No. 1 spot at thetime. But Mauch persevered andeventually gained the starting spotnot only last year, but for all ofthis season as well.
“You have to go out and proveyourself every day,” Mauch said.“I’d rather win it (the startingspot) by proving myself and beat-
ing out the com-petition, thanhave it handed tome. And I think Idid that.”
But don’t tellMauch that hecoasted into thestarting role forthe Panthers thisseason.
“I earned it myjunior year and ifyou want to say‘he didn’t go outand have to earn ithis senior year’,that’s fine,”Mauch said. “I
worked my butt off all fouryears.”
Mauch didn’t experience a win-ning season as a Panther until lastyear, when the team posted a 6-5mark. But in his final season atEastern, Mauch explained theteam’s attitude is different.
“The difference from yearspast, is that we would be out prac-ticing, and we would say ‘wegotta play this team this week,
and they’re pretty good, so let’schallenge ourselves to beatthem,’” Mauch said. “Now, theshoe is on the other foot. Teamsare now trying to beat us andwe’re taking a more business-likeattitude onto the field.”
Mauch added that a differentattitude has been observed by ateam that could still make its firstpostseason appearance since the1989 season.
“Guys are more concernedabout putting the team first thisyear than about themselves,”Mauch said. “When you startwinning as a team, you start get-ting looked at by the pros. Peoplewill attain all the post-seasongoals and awards, and everythingelse, when the team does well.”
And being a senior and a keypart in the Panther machine,Mauch knows that he needs to bea leader.
“When you lead by example,people can look at that and go‘yeah, he doesn’t have to say any-thing, but he’s doing it right,’”Mauch said. “And that’s whatwe’ve been able to do.”

NEW YORK (AP) – Major league base-ball became fair game to the highest TVbidder Tuesday, touching off what wasexpected to be an intense but brief periodof talks to replace the short-lived BaseballNetwork.
Fox and CBS were among those interest-ed in stepping into baseball’s TV void, cre-ated when ABC and NBC dissolved
That left baseball without a nationalbroadcast contract for next season, and it
looks like it could be filled NFL style, withseveral networks carving up the majorleagues.
“I’m excited about the possibility, if theright deal can be made,’’ CBS Sports vicepresident Rick Gentile said. “We’re notgoing to go crazy, but I’m hoping a dealcan be made and hoping CBS can get backinto baseball.’’ Monday was the final dayof a 45-day period during which ABC andNBC had exclusive rights to negotiate with
baseball. Now, Barry Frank of IMG, base-ball’s TV negotiator, is free to conducttalks with any network interested.
Several factors point toward a quick endto negotiations, the most urgent of which isnetwork TV’s immediate need to beginselling ads for next year’s games. Networkad units already are being sold for thespring television season.
Indications were an announcement couldcome by the end of the World Series,
scheduled to go no later than Oct. 29. Assoon as World Series ratings are calculated,baseball’s new network partners would liketo begin selling postseason ads, as well.
At the same time, there also were strongindicators pointing to a multi-networkdeal.
“Yes, that’s the direction baseball seemsto be desirous of,’’ Gentile said. “Whethersomeone will jump in and do it like we didin 1989 or ‘90, I don’t know.”

SEATTLE (AP) –All the Seattle Mar-iners asked Bob Wol-cott to give them was afew good innings.Instead, the 22-year-oldrookie gave them agame to remember for-ever.
Wolcott, pitchingbecause the Marinershad no one else, pulledone of baseball’s great-est escapes, wrigglingfree from a bases-load-ed, no-out jam in thefirst inning and beatingthe Cleveland Indians3-2 Tuesday night in their AL playoff opener.
Showing poise that belied his baby face,Wolcott – added to the postseason rosterMonday and making only his eighth major-league appearance – spent the whole eveningputting himself in trouble and then gettingout.
Meanwhile, Luis Sojo’s tiebreaking dou-ble off Dennis Martinez in the seventh inningwhipped the Kingdome crowd of 57,065 fur-ther into a frenzy, and stopped the Indians’
march through thepostseason.
Cleveland, comingoff a three-game sweepof Boston in the open-ing round, will try toget even in the best-of-7 series Wednesdaynight when OrelHershiser starts Game2 against Tim Belcher.
At the outset, itlooked as if the Indiansmight run away withthis game. Wolcott,who began the seasonat Double-A Port City,walked the bases load-
ed by throwing balls on 12 of his first 13pitches to Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel andCarlos Baerga.
By then, the weary bullpen, which theMariners hoped Wolcott would give a break,was already warming up. Wolcott probablywas too busy to notice – facing the team thatled the majors in batting, scoring and homeruns, he was about to see the heart of theorder.
Somehow, Wolcott found a way.
Braves, Mariners take first step to World Series
an athlete, and right awaythey’re ready to give the wholeteam or sport altogether a badname. This is seen in all of soci-ety today.
Just like in the O.J. case, oneracist cop gives every white per-son in America a bad name. It’sjust not right.
There is such a thing as anathlete who cares about the fans
and is willing to talk to them. Ihad two very enjoyable experi-ences of late. I t came at thebaseball game here last Satur-day, when I had the opportunityto talk to Kevin Seitzer an AllStar third baseman with theBrewers and Tim Bogar, whoplays for the Mets.
Seitzer stood and signed everyautograph asked of him, and
both Seitzer and Bogar talked tothe spectators for extended peri-ods of time. These two gentle-men were just that. So, for all ofyou who want to label every ath-lete as greedy and non-fanfriendly, put a cork in it becauseyou don’t know as much as youthink.
Here is a novel idea. If youare one of those who believe that
pro sports and their athletes areso corrupt and terrible to thefans, then simply don’t watch.Sure, not every athlete is theperfect gentleman and as politeas possible.
Then again ask yourself, areyou always the perfect person oras polite as possible?
That question can be an-swered without hesitation, and
the answer would be no. Sur-prisingly enough, pro athletesare human just like everybodyelse, and even somebody ofMichael Jordan’s caliber canmake mistakes.
The best thing these good-for-nothing fair weather fans coulddo is distance themselves fromsports altogether. Trust me, theywon’t be missed.
game.“Holcombe is one of the team’s key
play makers and I feel that he has a strongknowledge of the game because he readsthe field well,” Fabiano said. “But I feelthat he is more of a defensive playerbecause I usually have him defend theopponents’ best player.
While Holcombe realizes that he is oneof Eastern’s key players, he believes thisseason has been a troubling one in com-parison to last season, when the Panthers
won the conference title.“Compared to last season, this year has
been real frustrating,” Holcombe said.“But I’m confident that the guys will playas a team and pull through by ending theseason with a strong finish.”
While Holcombe has played in over 28games since his college career began, onehighlight that sticks out in his mindoccurred during the homecoming gameagainst Cincinnati.
In that game, Holcombe knocked in
the winning goal to beat Cincinnati 2-1 inovertime.
But Holcombe has also had his share ofproblems during his college career, and hebelieves that fear has been one of thetoughest parts about playing soccer.
“I feel that overcoming intimidation hasbeen one of the hardest parts about play-ing soccer,” Holcombe said. “Intimidationreally becomes a factor when we playagainst ranked teams because the guysknow that we are playing against a quality
team.”Nevertheless, Holcombe has a few
goals that he would like to see the teamaccomplish for this season, including end-ing the season with a decent conferencerecord.
“I know that the best we can do thisseason is finish with an 8-9 record,”Holcombe said. “But I would really liketo see the team finish with a 5-3 confer-ence record and possibly make the post-season.”
CINCINNATI (AP) On a night of empty
seats and empty bases,Mike Devereaux keptthe Atlanta Bravesfrom coming up emp-ty.
Devereaux singledhome the go-ahead runin the 11th inningTuesday night for a 2-1 victory over the Cin-cinnati Reds in the firstgame of the NL cham-pionship series.
John Smoltz, whohas beaten the Redsthree times this season,will oppose John Smiley, who has neverwon a playoff game, in Game 2 Wednesdaynight at Riverfront Stadium.
There were more than 10,000 empty seatswhen the first pitch was thrown Tuesday ona clear, 69-degree evening, a sign that base-ball still has a long way to go to win backfans. The Reds sold only 40,382 tickets andhad 3,620 no-shows.
And the Braves left them filing out silent-ly by pulling off their third comeback of the
playoffs.David Justice tied it
in the ninth with anRBI forceout, and FredMcGriff drew a leadoffwalk in the 11th offMike Jackson. LuisPolonia sacrificed, andDevereaux – a late-inning defensive rep-lacement – lined a sin-gle up the middle.
Brad Clontz gave upa leadoff double toThomas Howard in thebottom of the 11th, andSteve Avery – demotedto the bullpen for the
playoffs – came in and walked pinch-hitterMariano Duncan. Greg McMichael then gotReggie Sanders to ground to shortstop, start-ing a game-ending double play.
The two starting pitchers gave the stun-ningly small crowd little to cheer. TomGlavine allowed just one run on Ron Gant’sinfield single in the fourth, and PeteSchourek took a four-hit shutout into theninth before Atlanta pulled off its third late-inning comeback of the playoffs.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – SeanGilbert’s not the only player theSt. Louis Rams have missed onthe defensive line.
It’s been a rocky rookie sea-son for first-round pick KevinCarter, the other end.
“I’m OK,’’ Carter said. “Theguys around me are keeping megoing.’’ Coach Rich Brooks saidCarter played “extremely well’’the first two or three games.
“I think he’s leveled off andhas not played up to his capabil-ities the last couple of games,’’Brooks said. “I’m hoping he’llturn the dial back up and be-come a force again like he wasearly in the season.’’ Carter hasstarted all five games for the 4-1Rams and had two sacks and afumble recovery in the firstthree. He got a game ball aftergetting a sack and recovering aJack Trudeau fumble in a victo-ry over Carolina Sept. 17.
But in the two games Gilbertmissed with a knee injury, Car-ter was extremely quiet with twotackles. He takes some of theblame from the coach for thefact the Rams had 11 sacks thefirst three games and none the
last two.“He hasn’t made very many
plays,’’ Brooks said. “Read thenumbers. Pass rush, runs, justtackles, pressure on the quarter-back. When you’re in there asmuch as he plays, he needs tomake more plays.’’ Carter willget some help when Gilbertreturns for Thursday night’sgame against Atlanta, but theRams didn’t make him the sixthselection of the draft – and thefirst defensive player taken – tobe a complementary player.
In his senior year at Florida,Carter had 11 1-2 sacks and 211-2 tackles for loss.
“I knew it’d be harder, but it’snot a world of difference,’’Carter said.
“There’s a change, definitely,but people do it every year and Iplayed a pretty high level in col-lege.
“I think I’m ready for it, andif I’m not it’s here anyway.’’The Rams made the transitioneasier for Carter by flip-floppinghim with Gilbert so he couldplay on the left side, where hewas a three-year starter at Flor-ida.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) –It’s an all-too-familiar questionfor Florida coach Steve Spurr-ier: Why can’t he beat the Bow-dens? Spurrier didn’t even waitto hear it Tuesday at his weeklymedia conference, where he dis-cussed the upcoming game be-tween No. 3 Florida and TerryBowden’s seventh-ranked Au-burn Tigers.
“How about the Bowdenquestion?’’ asked Spurrier, whohas an 0-2 record against Terryand a 1-4-1 mark against hisfather, Florida State coachBobby Bowden.
What fol lowed was a se-quence intended to show thatSpurrier doesn’t put specialfocus on the Bowdens, but mayhave wound up revealing theopposite.
“I’ve got a losing recordagainst a lot of guys, not justthose two,’’ Spurrier said. “Youwant a list?’’ He had to go backto his days coaching Duke andthe USFL’s Tampa Bay Banditsto f ind them. “Danny Ford.George Welsh. Bill Dooley.
Joe Krivak. Yeah, Krivak beatus (Duke) two out of three atMaryland. And there’s Rollie
Dotsch in the USFL.’’ Spurrierquipped that he was 1-1 againstESPN analyst Lee Corso, whoalso coached in the UnitedStates Football League.
“Now that’s embarrassing,isn’t it?’’ Spurrier said. “Thatwas my all-time low.’’
As for his record against theBowdens, Spurrier insisted thatit doesn’t keep him awake atnight.
“No, it doesn’t bother me,’’he said. “Shoot, if you’re goingto lose to somebody, you mightas well lose to teams that don’tlose very often.’’
Bowden curse haunting Spurrier
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Kevin McClatchy appar-ently ended the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 14-month searchfor a new buyer Tuesday, making a $1 million downpayment after completing a purchase agreement tokeep the team from moving.
McClatchy, who at 32 would be the youngestowner ever in the majors, will spend the next threeweeks lining up additional partners before a signeddeal is submitted to baseball owners for approval.
The Pirates’ 10 owners voted unanimously Tues-day to approve the purchase agreement. McClatchy,a California newspaper heir, immediately posted a$1 million deposit, with an additional $2 million dueonce the deal goes to baseball’s ownership commit-tee.
The $3 million would be forfeited if McClatchy isnot approved by Feb. 1.
Ten of 14 NL owners must approve the purchasealong with eight of 14 AL owners.
McClatchy, a longshot when he entered into nego-tiations in early September, will pay about $85 mil-lion for the 109-year-old franchise. He has commit-ments for about $50 million in cash, plus a $50 mil-lion line of credit.
“People have told me I don’t stand a chance,’’McClatchy said.
“They’ve written off baseball and they’ve writtenoff baseball in Pittsburgh, but baseball is alive inPittsburgh. This is a very significant day for thePirates.’’

In the last year, an incredibleamount of tension has surfacedbetween various professionalsports and their fans. Baseball hassuffered the most, but the NFLand NBA also been portrayed in asour fashion.
It is time for all of the bicker-ing, complaining, out of shape,arm chair quarterbacking, crybaby, fair weather fans to shut upand mind their own business. Ithas always been my impressionthat a “fan” was someone whosupported a team, but then again,what do I know.
These so called fans constantlycomplain about the rapidly in-creasing salaries of pro athletes.Deion Sanders recently signed aseven year, $35 million contractwith the Dallas Cowboys. Wow!That can buy a few earrings anddo rags.
Anybody with the athletic abil-ity of Sanders who turns downthat kind of money is a true idiotand deserves to be shot. If I wasever stupid enough to turn downan offer similar to Sanders’, itwould be my only hope for some-body to shoot me, because I couldnot go on living knowing that Ipassed up such an opportunity.
In fact, this LOYAL fan wouldsupply the gun and ammo, andjoyfully give them to anyone will-ing enough to do the deed. Ohwell, I’ve begun to ramble, so I’llmove on.
How dare fans criticize athletesfor taking large salaries that theywork for and rightfully deserve.All the time I hear “It’s just agame.” But, this game takes on awhole new meaning when Shaq-uille O’Neil is ready to pound hisopponent to the floor, or whenRandy Johnson is throwing a 99mph fast ball high and insidewhich barely misses the batter’shead.
Being an athlete is no easytask. They may only play for sixmonths out of the year, but peopleseem to forget about somethingcalled off season training. Believeit or not, pro athletes work yearround.
I’m sick of hearing about howtoday’s athletes distance them-selves from the fans. Can they beblamed? Does anybody rememberthe attack on tennis star MonicaSeles? Or how about the morerecent attack on Cubs relieverRandy Myers?
The high profile athletes thatseparate themselves from the fansdo it for their own good. Thereare some crazy people out there,and the athletes have every rightto look out for themselves.
I don’t mean to harp on theignorance and stupidity of today’ssports fan, but why not. Somefans have one bad encounter with

Although the men’s soccer team has hadtrouble scoring this season, there is one playerthat stands out when it comes to putting theball into the net.
That player is sophomore midfielder BrianHolcombe, who leads the Panthers in scoringthis season with four goals.

St. Charles High School, Holcombe earnedfirst team All-Area and All-State Honors hissenior year. He was also named to the ElginCourier’s All-Midwest team as a senior.
In 1994, Holcombe started all 16 games inthe midfield and finished the season asEastern’s fifth leading scorer with four goals.He was also named Mid-Continent Confer-ence player of the week during his freshmanyear.
Holcombe believes that he has had to takeon more of a leadership role this season sincethe team lost last season’s four leading scor-
ers.“I feel I’ve had to take on a bigger role this
season because we lost Brad McTighe, HenryOspina and Steve Van Dyke,” Holcombe said.“But in addition to me having a bigger rolethis season, there are a couple of other playerswho have taken on bigger roles. Overallthough, I think the season has been a teameffort.”
Head coach Troy Fabiano also believes thatHolcombe has become a leader this year, high-lighting Holcombe’s understanding of the
