Garcia's remains cast over Ganges

NEW DELHI, India (AP) - In a holy city where Hindu pilgrims seek salvation, Jerry Garcia's widow sprinkled the ashes of the Grateful Dead leader into the Ganges River following a lunar eclipse.

Deborah Garcia and Bob Weir, a member of the legendary American band, waded into the swirling waters of India's holy river and relea&ed the ashes as dawn broke Thursday.

During the ceremony, Weir -Jerry Garcia's best friend - prayed that he would "travel to the stars," said The Independent newspaper of

London, which first published the story Monday.

The ceremony was held secretly near the holy city of Rishikesh on the upper Ganges because Mrs. Garcia was afraid that if word leaked out, thousands of "Deadhead" fans in the United States and Europe might have

come to India and spoiled the private occasion, The Independent said.

The Independent said other Grateful Dead members who stayed behind in California had written farewell messages to Garcia. ,

70 not end, says Hefner LOS ANGELES (AP) -

Wearing black satin pajamas and a red smoking jacket, Hugh Hefner strolled past a child's toy and a picture of his wife in the nude before sitting down in the Playboy mansion to talk about old age.

The homebody hedonist turns 70 today.

"I've had a third act," Hefner said. "F. Scott Fitz­gerald said there are no se­cond acts in American lives and I've got Act 3 here and I'm very fortunate for it. I feel wonderful."

With two young sons at his feet and his 33-year-old wife -by his side, Hefner looks more like a man in his 40s: tanned, slightly

graying, a lively gait and glistening eyes that telegraph, "I've seen it all."

Seventy is the reality, but Hefner doesn't see himself approaching the end of his extraordinary life. "My mother's 100. We have very good genes."

His birthday will be a subdued affair, "a little cadre of friends and family," he said. "It will be about the number ofmy birthday, about 70." -

Hefner is now focused on the next century. Driving Hefner these days is the Internet. ·~

"We're extremely popular on the Internet and are going to launch a pay site this summer," he said.

Primal Fear No.1 LOS ANGELES (AP) -

"A Thin Line Between Love & Hate," a comedy starring and directed by Martin Lawrence, debuted with $9.1 million for third place.

Another Korean War un_likely, officials say

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Defying a 43-year-old truce, North Korean troops slipped into the demilitarized zone for the third straight day, prompting South Korea's president to sum­mon his military advisers Monday.

The communist North's latest incursion came Sunday night, as up to 180 troops entered the zone separating the two rivals.

In Washington Monday, the Clinton Administration expressed its concerns about the Korean situation but said it seemed unlikely there would be any renew~d fighting.

''We haven't seen anything that indicates an offensive buildup that implies hostili­ties," press secretary Mike McCurry said.

His remarks mirrored those of officials with the U.N. com­ma.Qd that monitors the Korea bord~i:, 'There is not going to be a sec~nd Kor~an War be- • cause of this;" command spokesman Jim Coles said Sun­day.

Like Friday and Saturday, Sunday's show of force ended without incident after about 2 1/2 hours. Each time, the num­bers of northern soldiers grew.

press secretary

President Kirn Young-sarn called those actions "unpardonable violations" of the truce that halted the Korean War 43 years ago. However, his meeting Monday with military leaders did not bring any announced troop mobilizations to beef up already formidable South Korean de­fenses along the buffer zone.

DUBROVNIK, Croatia (AP)-A U.S. team investigat­ing the plane crash that killed Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and 34 others exarnined the navigation system at Dubrovnik airport Monday.

The plane crashed info a Dalmatian hilltop near Dubrovnik in a windy rainstorm, killing all aboard.

The airport's navigation system relied on technology previously described by American and local officials as reliable, but about 50 years old.

Investigators probably will spend two days looking at the airport's navigation equipment, said U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Ray Shepherd, spokesman for Brig. Gen. Charles Coolidge, who is investigating the crash.

Polls relate IIIClear presldel1llal race WASHINGTON (AP)- President Clinton maintains a

solid lead over Republican challenger Bob Dole in two national polls, but one survey found the gap has narrowed within the last month.

A CBS News-New·York Times poll released Saturday night found that 49 percent of respondents would vote for Clinton if the election were held now, compared with 39 percent for Dole.

If the election were held today, Clinton would receive 55 percent of the vote to Dole's 41 percent, that poll found. A similar Time-CNN survey last fall showed Dole near that mark, with 42 percent, but Clinton attracting just 48 percent support. ·

HELENA, Mont. (AP)-Two people remember seeing Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski in Northern Cali­fornia, and federal investiga­tors reportedly have placed him there on dates when bombs were mailed from the region.

"He looked like one of those bums who come in in the morn­ing and have a sandwich and cup of coffee and walk out," said Mike Singh, a Burger King manager in Sacramento, Calif.

Frank Hensley, a desk clerk at the nearby Royal Hotel, told The Associated Press he saw Kaczynski in the neighborhood near the bus depot.He said Kaczynski stayed at the.hotel two or three times over the past five years, usually in the late spring or summer, Hensley

. said. The last four bombs from the

Unabomber were mailed from Northern California, including two postmarked in Sacra­mento.

Thelawyer who told the FBI of the Kaczynski family's sus­picions said Monday they never sought assurances that the government would waive the death penalty .

Kaczynski's mother was not told of the suspicions until about two weeks ago, said Tony Bisceglie, lawyer for Kac­zynski's brother, David.

"She expressed her sincere belief that Ted could not be the Unabomber, but if it was, he must be stopped," Bisceglie told reporters in Washington.

Lancaster described Dr. Castleberry's ability by ex­plaining that there is a differ­ence between directing a musi­cal ensemble and teaching an ensemble to be musical. He said Dr. Castleberry excels at both of these. "All of us were par­ticularly impressed with the job he did in the classroom. You could see the students learning," he said. Dr. Lancaster said one chance

to see the results of his teach­ing occurred Sunday night. He said that WPBY aired a pro-. · gram entitled "Choral Fusion" which displayed Dr. Castleberry's work with the chamber choir. "I think that was a concrete example of his fine teaching abilities," he said.

White thanked Donovan for putting the program in order and said he and Donovan have been friends for a longtime. He said the two talked about the Marshall job when Donovan was hired two years ago. The type of basketball White

plans to install will not be much different than Donovan's up­tempo style he inherited from

Kentucky's Rick Pitino. "I think MU basketball is fast­

paced basketball," White said. "I'll add my own flavor, but it will probably be a cross be­tween Pitino and Harrick." White has a Bachelors ofBusi­

MU Symposium to promote sexual assault awareness

by LORIE JACKSON reporter,

Discussions on sexual as­sault, a movie about a rape survivor, and a self defense program will take place during April's Sexual Assault Aware­ness Month.

"This will be the first time in three years that any sexual as­sault programs have been pro­vided on Marshall's campus," said Carolyn Uihlein, sociol­ogy and anthroplogy instruc­tor and coordinator for sexual assault events.

The symposium will be Wednesday, Thursday and Fri­day in Memorial Student Cen­ter Alumni Lounge, she said.

Wednesday's activities will consist of discussions on what sexual assault is, what hap­pens after a loved one has been sexually assaulted, support and recovery ofrape survivors, sexual assault pr.evention, and self-defense.

Uihlein said men's issues also will be discussed. A counseler will speak about of­fenders who are both offender and victim.

"There is a possibility men who have been abused as a child will go on as adults being sexual offenders," Uihlein said. ~ e are hoping that by having

the men's issues discussion, it will break the cycle of men com­mitting sexual assault."

Other activities include the movie "The Accused" starring Jodie Foster and a candlelight vigil to honor rape survivors.

Uihlein said a police officer, a prosecutor, a representative from CONTACT Huntington rape crisis counseling team, and a rape survivor will speak during the event. ~ e are hoping to get good

attendance from around cam­pus and the Huntington community. We would like people to speak out about sexual assault so prevention and healing can begin. We don't want it to be a secret with anyone anymore," she said.

Uihlein said literature about sexual assault will be distrib­uted at tables in Memorial Stu­dent Center lobby.

People also can hang ribbons on a special tree to remember sexual assault vicitims. The tree will be displayed at the candle light vigil.

CONTACT will sponsor Vic­tims Rights Week April 22-26.

Mayor Jean Dean has pro­claimed April Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Huntington.More information may be obtained by contacting Uihlein at 696-2795.

streak to five games. That streak ended as the Hero dropped the sec­ond game· 2-0. Berndt said tlie competition wasn't as good as the scoreboard may have shown.

"They [GSU] were OK, but we were pretty bad," she said. "Wejust didn't show up on offense."

Sunday's doubleheader had the same result. Marshall won the first game but again dropped the second. "We out-

hit them in the second game, but we lost on an error," Berndt

said. "We had great

pitching all week­end," Berndt said. "But in a four-game

. series, anyone can beat you."

Berndt said the weekend crowds were not as large as those for last week's games against Ohio University.

Marshall recorded its first victory against a Mid-Ameri­can Conference team with its sweep of OU. "I think we played

errorless ball against OU," Berndt said. "Talent-wise we can compete in the MAC, but I'm not really sure how we match up with those teams in other areas."

Marshall plays Virginia Tech in a rescheduled game Wednes­day at 3 p.m. Just as Marshall softball was two years ago, Vir­ginia Tech is a first-year pro­gram. "We don't really antici­pate them to be tough," Berndt said. "We hope to use this game to get ready for the weekend."

Furman plays the Herd at Marshall Softball Field this weekend for a four-game se­ries.

,· ""'br many students, going to the cafeteria to eat the same old cheesebur­ger and fries for lunch is a common event, but to the Marriott Food Service staff, it is one they would rather see at McDonald's or Burger King.

Starting a few weeks ago, the Twin Towers Cafeteria staff began a pro­gram on how to eat healthier . "Stu­dents are always asking for healthful foods," Linda Woltamate, food service manager of Twin Towers Cafeteria, said. "We thought we would promote health and fitness for the students who eat here."

The cafeteria is promoting many fat­free or low-fat foods students have nor­mally s~n the salad bar, but Woltamate · · s if the cafeteria has a

-specific emphas on the healthful foods, more students may take an interest in the program. "We've always had the fat-free salad dressing, mayonnaise, and diJ?S, but the students never real­ized it because they have always been there," she said.

Now thE!'purpose of the program is to make students aware ofhealthful foods available at the cafeteria. "We are hav­ing sample days of the fat-free and low-. fat foods every Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.," Woltamate said. "We have named the healthful food idea 'Spring Training,' and it con­sists of free samples for the students. The students have their choice of grapes, celery, carrots, and also the All-Sport drink," she said.

The "Spring Training" program is an idea the staff got from many students asking for fat-free foods. "Because of the students asking for those certain · foods, we decided to go ahead and intro­duce the program to the student body," c_~rol Copl'ey, food service director of Twin Towers Cafeteria, said. "We are trying to do something for the kids, and this is what we came up with."

Not only is the staff giving out free samples of healthful foods; they are also giving information to all students who eat in the cafeteria. "The first week, we gave out Food Guide Pyramid cards that gave the number of servings stu­dents should have of each food group," Copley said. "We're trying to give some­thing different out each week."

The free sample display includes a televison that shows information to stu­dents. "The videos are there for the students who may have the time to stop

The staff also has interns working the sample area to help students that may have questions about specific foods. "Not only have the interns been help­ing with questions, but they have also been taking student body fat percent­ages," Woltamate said. "Students can come back in mid-April and get their percentages checked again to see if they have decreased their body fat."

Woltamate said she knows the caf­eteria can get boring sometimes, so she thinks anything the staff can do to break the monotony is good, but it is a plus when helping the students physi-
