SGA to sponsor voter registration Good grades will get you these classes by ALYSON WALLS

reporter

Students and faculty can become eligible to vote in this year's primary and general election by stopping in Memo­rial Student Center Friday.

The Student Government Association, in conjunction with Cabell County Voter Reg­istration, is sponsoring a voter registration drive on campus

HIGH: 77 LOW: 45

Friday from 9 a.m. until noon. Former Student Body Presi­

dent Mark J . Davis helped or­ganize the drive. He said regis­tering to vote will only take about two minutes. "We want as many students as possible," Davis said. "All people have to do is sign their name and they will be registered."

He also said those register­ing need to bring a form of identification which shows

their name and address. Nawar W. Shora, student

body president, said he encour­ages studeµts to register be­cause this is an election year.

He said those already regis­tered will be able to change their party affiliation, or the county they want to vote in, if they so choose.

"Thirteen thousand Mar­shall students can make a dif­ference if they vote," Shora said.

Magician sues over alledged 'fraud' Batmobile LOS ANGELES (AP) - Days after David Copperfield sued

for $1 million, claiming the Batmobile he bid $189,500 for last month was a fraud, the car's owner has countersued to get the money.

The magician believed he was bidding on the Batmobile used in the 1989 film "Batman," but found out later the car was one of five built for promotional purposes only, said his publicist Heidi Schaeffer.

Andrew W. Vorzimer, attorney representing the car's ow­ner, said, "Mr. Copperfield bought an original Warner Bros.' licensed Batmobile, and no sleight of hand can change that."

'Dukes of Hazzard' star fired from cable sho.w NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - In an effort to boost ratings,

The Nashville Network is replacing Tom Wopat as the host of "Prime Time Country."

The last show for the former "Dukes of Hazzard" star will be next Tuesday.

"My only regret is that I was not given the opportunity to stay and finish the job," Wopat said. "I wish the show the best ofluck."

Wopat will continue his role on the CBS sitcom "Cybill." Brian Hughes, TNN vice president of programming, said

the show will use guest hosts until naming a permanen host.

'Smart card' coming soon NEW YORK (AP) -

Instead of whipping out a couple of bucks for that morning paper and coffee and then juggling the change, several big businesses are hoping you'll soon want to whip out a new "smart" card.

MasterCard, Visa and the nation's two largest banks, Citibank and Chase Man­hattan, are teaming up to produce electric cash cards that can be used to make small purchases, The New York Times reported Mon­day.

The companies were expected to announce the joint venture Monday, with a pilot program to start at the end of the year in New York, the paper said.

The new computer-chip­embedded payment cards will hold up to $100. If enough merchants get the needed equipment, they should give

MARCO ARMS APTS

users a convenient alterna­tive to coins and bills.

To.make a purchase, the consumer places the card into a terminal - whether it be at a store checkout counter or in a truµ cab. A display will show the amount due and the customer will push one button to confirm the sale.

The money is then transferred electronically to the recipient's coffers, the paper said. Customers will load cash onto their cards

from their bank accounts, using auto­mated teller machines or special telephone lines. The service may even be available on the Internet. ----•

Hundreds sue Mitsubishi for sexual harassment

CHICAGO (AP)-Hundreds off em ale workers were fondled, made to hear obscenities and read sexual graffiti on the walls at a Japanese auto plant in central Illinios for more than six years with no management effort to stop it, officials say.

Such a pattern "cannot flourish without the knowledge and consent, either explicit or implicit, of management," said John Rowe, director of the Chicago office of the federal Equal Employment Oppor­tunity Commission.

The commission said Tues­day it was taking action itself, filing what could prove the most expensive sexual harassment lawsuit ever against Mitsu­bishi Motor Manufacturing of

America Inc. Hundreds of women could

get up to $300,000 each in compensatory and punitive damages if the commission succeeds in proving a pattern of sexual harassment existed at the auto assembly plant in Normal, Ill.

The plant, a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Mo­tors Corp., denied the charges. "If we are surprised and horrified by anything, it's the

· manner that this has been brought to the public's atten­tion," said Gary Shultz, vice president and general counsel.

EEOC officials said it was important to put the spotlight on the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace.

briels tlinase compact disc piracy worsening

BEIJING (AP) - A year after China agreed to crack down on compact disc piracy, Chinese factories are producing more pirated CDs than ever before, according to American industry experts. .

In February 1995, China averted a trade war with the United States by agreeing to halt illegal CD production and open its markets to legally produced U.S. movies, music and computer software.

The Chinese factories producing these CDs are the same ones that were operating last year before the agreement was reached, Jay Berman, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, told reporters Tuesday.

rVIEW Awareness programs are actually available year round.

There was a mistake in yesterday's editorial. Yeah, imagine that. Due to some misinformation we received earlier in

the week, we incorrectly stated that the sexual assault awareness programs going on this week were the first on the Marshall campus in three years.-

That simply is not true.

see related letter to the editor, this page

As Cockrille points out in her letter, there are activities of this nature going on all the time on the Marshall campus to enlighten students on the subject of sexual assault.

We apologize for indirectly implying that Marshall administrators were not doing a good job of promoting awareness. We did not mean it that way.

We would also like to remind everyone that Sexual Assault Awareness Week is still going on. Tonight at 8 p.m. in Marco's there will be a showing of the Academy Award-winning film "The Accused," which stars Jodie Foster as the victim overcoming a brutal gang rape. Afterwards, there will be a discussion about the film.

And if you have never seen the movie, you should be there. It will shock you, and with any luck, open your eyes to the problem.

There will be a candlelight vigil from 8 to 10 p.m. Friday on the Memorial Student Center Plaza, and everyone is encouraged to attend.

Events for Sexual Assault Awareness will continue throughout the month of April, but programs to increase awareness about problems such as sexual assault and violence are.offered year round by the Women's Cen­ter.

Administrator wants to clear up misconceptions

I am responding to Wednesday morning's editorial which states "For the first time in three years, sexual assault awareness activities.are go­ing to be offered. on the Marshall campus." For the sake of clarifica­tion, I would like to share information with you regarding ongoing sexual assault awareness activities which occur daily on our campus.

Sexual assault awareness activi­ties are planned and implemented each semester by the Counseling Center, Marshall University's Police Department and the Women's Cen­ter. Many programs are actually pre­sented cooperatively by the above three entities. Programming is com­prehensive and continuous. There is rarely a week during the year in which an awareness program is not offered for students and community.

The Women's Center has de­signed therapeutic and educational responses for students, staff or fac­ulty members who have experienced sexual violence. This response in­cludes crisis intervention, ongoing

treatment, court assisted support and group programs for women and men. This school year over 30 edu­cational seminars on the topic have been presented to residence hall students, new members of fraterni­ties, lnterfratemityCouncil, athletes, student organizations, classrooms and religious groups. Additionally, the Counseling Center has th~ee counselors with specific expertise in the treatment of sexual violence. Marshall University has demon­strated a serious commitment to the education of its students on this issue.

Four years ago, Dr. Gilley allo­cated a substantial amount of fund­ing to be utilized for sexual assault programs. Likewise there has been a demonstrated commitment from faculty, resident advisers, student organizational advisers and stu­dents to address the complex is­sues of sexual violence in our soci­ety.

It is my hope that many students, faculty and staff will attend this week's activities. However, it is also important to recognize that the en­tire university community has been working diligently for many years to enlighten our community about vio­lence and its aftermath.

COE prerequisites needed to take required courses

Seminar stresses communication without the abuse

by ERIKA JARRBL-L C

reporter

Advance registration for the fall semester starts Mon­day. Students enrolling for the fall semester in the Col­lege ofEducation must have completed several new pre­requisites before enlisting in a number of required courses.

"This is a new procedure for the COE and we are hop­ing this will eliminate any misunderstandings," said Dr. Rosco Hale-, interim dean. ·

Hale said for the fall semester students may reg­ister for some classes only with the permission of the

division chairperson. Those classes are: CI 343,

Introduction to Teaching Read­ing: Early Childhood Educa­tion and Middle Childhood Education; CI 472, Level 11, Clinical Experience; CI 474, Secondary Education: Teach­ing Speech; HEC 306, Home Economics Instructional Meth­ods; and Marketing 405, Meth­ods of Teaching Marketing Subjects, Hale said.

"In the past, students would sign up for the classes, pay for tuition, only then to find out the first day of school that he or she did not have the necessary criteria to do the work," Hale said.

"The adviser would attempt t_o relocate the student in an-

other course, but this was · not always successful. Classes wpuld close quickly and many students were knocked out of taking these courses."

Barbara Ferrell, educa­tion credits specialist, said, "In one semester alone, CI 343 will affect a total of three different classes. The first five weeks will be in CI 343.

"The second five weeks, the student will ee enrolled in CI 446, and the last five weeks CI 4 71. It is extremely important students have the opportunity to take these courses at the appropriate time. We hope this procedure eliminates breakdowns in communication."

If a student on campus has a problem with a relationship, who does he or she turn to?

The Women's Center spon­sored a seminar April 9, for students who may have prob­lems with relationships, ac­cording to Crystal G. Adkins, graduate assistant at the Women's Center.

"The purpose of the seminar was to let students know how to have a ·successful relation­ship without becoming abu­sive," she said.

"We titled the seminar 'The Good, the Be.d, and the Ugly' because we tried to show stu­dents the positive and nega­tive aspects of a relationship."

One of the key points dis­cussed was the communication aspect of a relationship.

"We tried to get across to the '3tudents that communication is the foundation of a relation­ship. Absence of communica­tion may lead to an abusive relationship."

The positive aspects dis­cussed at the seminar consisted of how two people in a relation-

ship need to support and com­municate with each other.

"We let the students know that being honest and open are two main points to follow to have a positive relationship," she said.

Some of the negative aspects discussed were the problems of jealousy and not being trusted. •

"Poor communication will lead to negative aspects, such as having too much power and control over your partner," she said.

Another negative aspect dis­cussed was the "ugly" type, Adkins said.

The "ugly'' type of a relation­ship consists of the cycle of vio­lence," she said. "If tension builds and the two people in the relationship do not know how to handle it, then it may become an abusive situation."

Adkins said the students who attended made a lot of good points and really helped each other out with questions.

"We had a lot of impressive questions and answers from the students," she said.

"I was surprised of the turn­out of 15 to 20 students in Hodges Hall," she said.

reporter

West Virginia's "other uni­versity" is coming to town.

This Friday, WVU will come to Huntington to face the Herd at the new tennis facilities on the Marshall campus.

"There is a rivalry between us and WVU," Tennis Coach Laurie Mercer said. "Their top four players are really good, and they have several kids who were highly ranked in the

is looking forward to this weekend's homestand.

"It's been tough to practice O\,\tside because of the weather, and that makes it tough to play outside when we go on

the road," she said. "I think it's an advantage for us to play here this weekend."

The Herd will have three

matches in three days. After the WVU match Friday, Mar­shall will play Western Caro­lina Saturday and East Tennessee State Sunday.

"I think the new court loca­tion will encourage people to come out and watch us play," Mercer said. "This is the first year the team has been really decent."

UK· cancels Herd game

by MEGAN DANIELS reporter

Due to a conflict of scheduling and the departure of Coach Billy Donovan, Kentucky will not visit Huntington to take on the Herd as planned.

"Kentucky called Monday and told us the news," Lee Moon, athletic director, said. "I expressed my displeasures to the athletic department an.d went on about my business."

Marshall had a commitment with Rick Pitino, Kentucky basketball coach, to play Kentucky if Donavan was the coach. Since Donavan is no longer the coach, Kentucky and Marshall are no longer scheduled to play.

Moon also said Kentucky had to buy the contract by paying Marshall $20,000, so the Wildcats could drop Marshall from their schedule.

"There are going to be a lot of disappointed Marshall fans as well as Kentucky fans," he said.

Marshall played Kentucky this past season in Louisville, but lost to the Wildcats 118-99.

groups on campus. Club sports is one of the newest ac­

tivities on campus. Despite the many opportunities club sports offer students, however, they are not university-spon­sored athletic teams. They do not have scholarship players and don't have offi­cial university locations to practice. They receive no financial support · or contributions from the athletic depart-ment. · ·

Yet with the start of hockey, rugby and men's volleyball clubs, students have the opportunity to participate 'just for the fun ofit."

Rugby was the first of the three·spoPts to evolve.into a club. Tom Lovms,.·recre­ational sports director, provided the contacts the men needed to get the club off to a good start.

"The desire was there when these gl,lys got together," Lovins said, "How­ever, after the first year, monthly dues were not getting paid and collection agencies were calling about late pay­ments."

Lovins said there is not an active rugby club at Marshall now, but he said the club could become strong again by maintaining membership with the Ohio Rugby Union. He said there are stu­dents who are willing to give rugby another chance, and that having dedi­cated players on the team will give the club an opportunity to grow strong

professional hockey team in Hunting­ton, the Huntington Blizzard, and new leagues at the Tri-State Ice Arena.

Matt Canavan, Fairfax, Va., senior, and Shane Cartmill, Huntington se­nior, contacted interested students and organized the hockey club in late Sep­tember.

The club played only eight official games, but Canavan said he can defi­nitely see a difference in the way the players are skating. "I think the group has progressed," he said. "This summer we hope to play in roller hockey leagues and get the guys on a workout pro­gram."

Canavan said he hopes support for the club will grow with help from area businesses.and tips from the Blizzard.

The club ended its season with a 3-5 record, but Cartmill said he thinks ,the team had a good year. He said the club is going to contact eight or nine schools to try to put a conference together. This would guarantee 30 to 40 games for the club and a set schedule. He said the team also plans to write letters to banks and larger businesses to try to gain more support for the club.

Jason Roland, Huntington junior, said the hockey club has talked with Lee Moon, athletic director, about be­coming a recognized sport on campus. "The one thing going for us is most of

the schools in the Mid-American Con­ference have hockey teams," he said. "This could help-us in a big way."

Rolans also noted support as a major factor contributing to the club's suc­cess. Area businesses such as Baseball Cards and More and the Huntington Blizzard have already given their ·sup­port, and BW-3 has planned to contrib­ute as well.

Dr. Tim Bogren showed his support for the club by becoming the team's volunteer coach. "I came from a strong hockey backgroun_!i, so I know the ins and outs of hockey," Bogren said. "Matt Canavan got me interested in the club, so I could not resist when they asked me to get involved."

Bogren said the club must accom­plish certain things before gaining rec­ognition on campus. He said club mem­bers must show the administration they are serious by means of having a set schedule, showing dedication, and gain­ing support from students and the com­munity.

The hockey club, unlike rugby, is not limited to men. Robin Vanpelt, Wh~el­ing sophomore, has shown her talent on the ice. Van pelt said everyone in the club has been nice to her and that she hopes to play for the club next season. •

Men's volleyball is another sport that may have club status within the year.

Dave George, Wheeling senior, started contacting men in January about the club. "We started out with 12 players, but that quickly decreased to about six," he said.

Tim Swann, Wheeling junior, said the club plans to contact schools over the summer to get a schedule for next season. "Volleyball is not very popular in the Huntington area," he said. ~e move to the MAC will neither hurt or help us because there are not a lot of schools with male volleyball teams."

. "We need a congregation and· dedica­tion,".George said. "We have not had a very good turnout of players. We also need a place to practice on campus; the lack of gym space is ·very frustrating. We just want people to know that they can come out and have a good time with our club.'.'

Cartmill said experience, or lack thereof, should not be a concern, how­ever. "Don't worry about your skills," he said. "We are all learning. It's just a lot of fun."
