CUNTWOOD - When she tallcs about
her baby, Mandy Holbrook fidgets and
giggles like a schoolgirl sitting through
her first sex-education class.
But Mandy, 19, never had a sexeducation class i n Dickenson County,
where she graduated from high school
last year as an honor student.
She learned what sex can mean i n a
self-imposed, emotional isolation as she
Btniggled'through nine months of pregnancy, afraid and too embarrassed to
let anyone know.
Mandy Holbrook let her baby die Feb.
24 after giving birth on the toilet i n her
dormitory bathroom at Clinch Valley
College.
She was diarged with murder, but i n
August she was fifeed'on probation after
pleading guilty i n Wise County to reduced charges of involuntary manslaughter and child neglect. The judge
said i t was a crime she would not repeat The prosecutor said Mandy would
be punished enough by her memories.
When she plead guilty, Mandy begged
T m just a girl who made
a mistake, and I want people

for forgiveness. She broke down i n
tears and was unable to explain i n
court why she did what she did.
She still can't explain i t .
"y/niy? that's what 1 want to know,"
she says now, " I don't know, 1 just don't
know. I don't understand i t myself."
Mandy wante people to .know she's
not the evil person she was portrayed
as when she-was charged with murder.
"I'm just a girl who made a mistake,
and I want people to know that I'd do
anything i f 1 could have my baby back...
I named him Eric Shawn."
She didn't k i l l her baby boy; She just
didn't do anything. She says she passed
out on the odd bathroom floor with the
baby immediately after birth and never
saw him breathe or move. After she
regained consciousness, she says, she
tore the umbilical cord, flushed the
afterbirth down the toilet, washed off
the baby and wrapped him i n a towel.
Still i n pain, she crawled to her room,
laid the baby i n a cardboard box and
hid him under her bed.
"L t h o u i ^ t he was dead,*,she says.

T v e always tried to be filendly, when
people dont know who I am- I'm sometiroes afnid to tell them my name.
Maybe once they get to know me^they
won't pass judgment,' Mandy Holbrook
says referring to the tragedy she experienced last spring when she lost her
baby.
I t was local headlines for weeks
during the months of February and
March. A CVC student had given birth
to.a child on campus and i t died.
A dead fUl-term baby boy was fbund
i n a cardboard box under Mandy
Holbrook's bed i n her Honors Apartment by police.
The events of that Feb. 24 may never
erase from Holbrook's history but life
must indeed go on.
Holbrook returned to Clinch Valley
i n the spring hoping to continue her
education. For someone who faced
charges which included felony homicide with a maximum sentence of 20
years i n a state penitentiary and one
count of felony parental child neglect
which carries a maximum 10 year
sentence, life couldn't possibly be easy.

father of the baby, found her i n pain
and took her to the hospital. Several
hours later, after repeatedly denying
she had been pregnant, Mandy admitted what had happened and told a nurse
where she had hidden her baby.
Police rushed to the dormitory and
pulled the cardboard box from under
the bed, but the baby was dead.
Dr. David Oxley, the deputy chief
medical examiner for Western Virginia,
who conducted an autopsy, says there's
no way to know how long the baby
lived. I t could have been less than an
houror several hours. All he can say is
that the baby breathed and probably
cried at one point.
Oxley says the baby, who was congenitally missing his left forearm and
hand, likely would have survived i f
given proper attention.
"Birth is very traumatic fiir the baby,"
Oxley says. "They need basic care.*

Wesley Adams
Staff Writer
Ross Perot is right i n calling us to
support the new pi-esident. With all
the problems facing America, we all
must pull together to solve them. With
one party i n both the White House and
Capitol H i l l , the government should
pick up speed i n responding to our
problems.
I extend my congratulations to the
President-ellBct. You went through a
scorching baptism by lire and emerged
from our political crucible a victor. To
echo the words of Dan Quayle, I hope
that.Bill Clinton is as successful i n his
presidency as he was i n his campaign.
Good luck, Mr. Clinton, and godspeed.
For those of you who c a r f t ei\joy
Clinton's victory, take solace i n the fact
that i n two short years; the American
people can vote i n . a GOP Congress.
And 1996 really isn't that far away.
Well, i t ^ finany over and yet i t is just
beginning. Last week we elected Gov.
Bill Clinton as the forty-second PresidiBntofthe United States of America .
The nation is moving tewardia new age
as i t heads towards the next millennium.
I voted for George Bush. However,
the election is over and i t is time to
move on. The President is the only
federal official voted into office by the
American people, and as such truly
represents all Americans, despite age,
race, gender, or party. And for the
next four years. Bill Clinton is that
representative of America and her
people.

Two months and six editorials and I
have finally gotten a response to one of
my editorials! I'm a firm believer i n
democracy, freedom of speech and
thought, and that there is a minimum
of at least two sides to every issue.
Thus, I welcome Darlene Wilson's rebuttal over the Powell River Project i n
laeivieek's Highland Cavalier. I would
like to take this time to address her
response.
First of a l l , I must take some personal exception to some of her opening
remarks. She states that she is "not
acquainted w i t h the author...' And
this is true. I transferred to CVC this
p l e a s e 11
year. Thus, I olgect to being referred to
as "marginally informed and eager to
please" without her knowing me. I am
neither. I consider myself to be fairly
well-read on a wide variety of topics
(which disgusts the hell cut of my roommates while playing "Trivial Pursuit").
I hold an associate degree i n science
and have had a life-long love for all the
sciences. My family also has a long
history of being as Greenpeace and the
Arbor Day Foundation. And we Adamses hail from the eco-progressive state
of Wisconsin. So, I am hardly "marginally informed." Being a loner by nature, I am hardly "eager to please."
That is not i n nature of an editorialist
who takes sides.

RESPOND, from p.2
The main focus of my debate with Ms.
Wilson is that of a broad point of view
versus a narrow one. Ms. Wilson has
adopted the narrower point of view of
focusing merely on the issue of sludge
use by Powell River Project. She has
backed up her arguments with a great
deal of data and background information on those who oppose the use of fly
ash and sludge.
There is legitimate concern over
sludge that can contain heavy metals
such as lead and mercury, which can be
harmful to animals and humans.
However, the "very littie contamination" shown has been below EPA
safety levels. The "very short term"
contamination mentioned referred to
one monitoring station registering near
or above EPA level of contaminates
during a n £ monitoring period. Levels
were below safety levels prior and since
that monitoring period. PRP scientists
are not sure i f the high levels were from
the sludge or resulted from rain run-off
from the hill ne\t to the monitoring
system.
I have taken the broad point of view
regarding the Powell River Prqject. It
is a massive sdentiflc research project.
It encompasses a wide variety of experiments, not Just those concerned
with fly .^sh %ni. sludge use.. Some.
studies concern creating wetlands.
Others concern new ways of improved
grading strip mined land to produce
stronger, rapid growingi and economically producing forests.
I strongly support any legitimate
scientific research. Our space-age society is the result of ongoing scientific
research.
In legitimate research, scientists set
up carefully controlled experiments and
studies,.carefully record the data, reach
conclusions, and present their findings
to the scientific community to be openly
discussed and debated.
Yes, not all experimental results come
out the way researchers had hoped.
But, given the environmental problems
facing our planet, can we afford not to
try to find new ways to help our world.
We can learn from failures as well as
successes. We can't know i f the sludge
is harmful without trying. And what is
to prevent us fi-om ways of processing
this otherwise useless by-product of
our industrialization so i t can be used.
Even i f the fiy ash and sludge is a
total failure, there is reason not to learn
from the Powell River Prqject and to
implement the methods that have succeeded. Let us not surrender the benefits of scientific research to the narrow
fears of a .few.

English 099 students making strides
Lori UtUe
Assistant Editor
Studente who score low i n English
skills when enrolHng i n college may be
required to take reraedial classes, sudi
as English 099, before entering English 101.
Shirley Belcher, director of 099 English, said students are i n the Basic
Skills dass because of many reasons,
not Just because they can't learn.
There are many reasons why studente score low on English entrance
exams, including poor study haUto and
physical or mental limitetions. Studente returning to school after a long
lapse or for whom English is a second
language may also need to hone their
IBnglish. Basic skills must be improved
in order for these studente to succeed i n
higher level courses. Clinch V a l l e / s English 099: Basic
Skills dass is oiTered to develop remedial studente' skills and help them
identify their weaknesses and strengths
so difileient areas can be corrected.
* I was interested i n studente knowing that those i n the classes come for
many different reasons,* said Belcher.
"We have a diverse group.... However,
they all need basic skills improvement.'
'[Studente taking 099] meet four
times a week with tutors, with me seeing
them one of those days.' Belcher said.
'[BasK grammar skills] is what we focus
on through a reader and a spelling
book.'
Dally dass attendance and careful
work on dass requiremente often enables studente to go on to advanced
studies.
'(This semester] many have i m proved and they will be able to advance
in their studies,' Belcher said.

University of California student
beleives nudity is the natural way
BERKELEY, Calif. (CPS) - A University of California student who believes
that nude is the only natural way to
stroll around campus has been arrested
twice for indecent exposure, police said.
Luis Andrew Martinez, 19, dubbed
the "Naked Guy* for his penchant for
minimal to non-existent attire, was
arrested late Oct. 3 "as he Jogged naked
down the street in a residential dormitory area,' said Lt. Bill Foley of the
university's security force.
Martinez, a sophomore who attends
school Ml time at the Berkeley campus, also was arrested about noon Oct.
6 near the main entrance to the campus.
In both cases, he was charged w i t h
indiscent exposure a n d ' required to
f.-l
'
. i v . - ' i ' l - .11
I/Ml'.
••.'."t^Hi'r"'
appear i n court Nov. 19-20 to answer
the charges.
Martinez organized a campus "nudei n ' Sept. 29 at a campus plaza known
as a site of political proteste, sending
out fliers that dared partidpanto to "Go
Bare.' As hundreds of observers gathered around, Martinez and two dozen
supporters stripped off their clothes
while a Doors tepe played i n the background.
'Break on through to the other side,"
Martinez sang and told observers that
he was fighting sodetel pressures to
conform by shedding his clothes. The
nude partidpante held hands, hugged
and decorated body parte with paint as
studente watched with reactions ranging f^rom outrage to laughter.
Foley estimated t h a t only about 30
percent of the nude demonstrators were
studente. Campus police watched the
nude-in but didn't interfere.
However, Foley said that his office
has received complainte iVom students
and staff who don^t appredate viewing
Martinez i n his natural state.
"Employees are forced to look at him
when he comes into their ofnces. The
employees can't Just get up and leave,'
Foley said. "We've heard that he has
attended dass vrithout clothes, but
we've no direct reporte flrom students
or faculty about t h a t "
While many view Martinez's actions
with amusement, Foley said some studente have interpreted Ms nakedness
as a threat
Oxiey says it's not all that uncommon, however, for a young unmarried
woman to conceal a pregnancy and birth
and to discard the baby.
His office doesn't keep such statistics, but he says he's seen four or or five
similar cases a year i n his 20 years as
medical examiner. Many of the mothers are uneducated, but others like
Mandy are college studente. "It's a
combination of things, denial, embarrassment, panic. They don't know what
to do... and hope i t will go away.'
Dr. Robert Showalter. a psychiatrist
with the University of Virginia's Institute of Law, Psychiatry and Public
Policy, says denial is a basic protective
reaction that can be incredibly powerf u l . I t could be so strong that a pregnant woman wouldn't consdously admit
she was pregnant until shocked by
giving birth.
Denial can be espedally powerful i n
women like Mandy who don't gain much
weight or have other dramatic signs of
pregnancy, Showalter says.
The morning her baby was born,
Mandy says she woke several times
w i t h cramps, 'not severe pains, just
pains you might have w i t h an upset
stomach.*
She called Michael, her boyfriend,
and asked him to bring over some Tylenol. He sat with her for a while but
went to class aftor Mandy told him she
thought i t was the stomach f l u and
she'd be all right i n a b i t

screaming i n pain, the roommate asked
i f she was sure she was all right, then
turned up the television.
Mandy says she repeatedly screamed
in pain and suddenly saw her baby.
She says she oollapsed on.the floor with
the baby and passed out.
When she awoke, she says, the baby
wasn't moving. She says she halfcrawled to the shower, where she
washed the baby off so she could see
him better and see i f he was alive:
She says she noticed no movement or
breathing, and she cried and laid on the
floor hugging her baby.
Beth Phillips, the roommate who was
in the living room virtually the entire
morning, says she heard horrible cries
of pain after Mandy locked herself in
the bathroom: ' I had never heard
anything that scary i n my l i f e , ' Beth
says.
She asked Mandy i f she needed help,
but Mandy told her she'd be all right.
When the s(;reams continued, Beth says,
" I just kept turning the television up
louder and louder.*
I t sounded at times like Mandy was
going to die, Beth says. When the cries
stopped, Beth again knocked on the
door and.asked Mandy i f she was OK.
Mandy told her she'd be out i n a little
while.
" I didn!t know what to do,* Mandy
says. " I was so scared, weak and confused.'

Amendment to reduce taxes on
scholarships has been booted
WASHINGTON (CPS) - A n amendment that would have reduced federal
taxes on student scholarships was
dropped firom a compromise version of
a tax
The amendment, sponsored by U.S.
Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., would have
repealed taxes on the s^pnento of scholarships that pay for rent, fbod and
travel, his spokesman said. However,
the amendment was tacked onto the
tax bill late i n the recent session of
Congress. I n early October, a conference committee deleted the amendment
from the final version of tiie U I I .
Depending on a student's income,
undergraduate scholarships can be
taxed at a 14 percent or Mgtier rate for
room, board and travel. I t is up to the
student to.dedare the income fhmi the
sdiolarship, and the Internal Revenue
Service is beginning to investigate
studente who aren't paying taxes o n
scholarships.
"Well lode fbr some other way to get
repealed next year. I t doesn't mean

he's giving up,* said a spokesman for
the senator.
Lott's amendment was a watered
down version sponsored by U.S. Rep.
Tom Lewis, R-Fla., and the National
AssodaUon of Graduate and Professional Studente. That Mil would have
resdnded a 17 percent lax on graduate
and professional studente' stipends,
scholarships and fellowships. However, the bill was never sdieduled fiir a
hearing and Congress is now out of
session.
The 1986 Tax Reform Act put a 17
percent tax on all scholarships and other
money awarded to post4>Mca1aureato
studente i n graduate and professional
schools. Lewis wanted to tax resdnded.
When the House didn't take up the
measure, Lott offered his version on
the Senate side.
A key difference is that Lott's amendment dealt with both undergraduate
and graduate studente. while Lewis'
focused on graduate and professional
studente.

The
Fired-up Clinch Valley thumps Bethany, 45-14
Brad Johnson
Assistant Sports Editor
After being "road warriors* for over
a month, the Cavaliers were anxious
to return to the iriendly confines of
Southwest Virginia. What a return i t
was. The Cavs blitzed the Bisons of
Bethany CoUisge for 30 unanswered
points in the iirst half en route to a 4614 victory at Tazewell High School.
The Cay's defense got the ball rolling early i n the game. Senior Bruce
Pugh picked o f f a Derrick Scamicky
pass on the second play of the game to
give the CVC offensiva unit the ballon
the Bison's 23-yard line. Several plays
later Eric Wells scored on a 3-yard
run. Sampo Sakko's point after gave
the Cavs a 7-0 lead. Unable to get
their offense g<ring, the Bisons were
frared to p u n t Chuch Sutton fielded
the ball at the 10 and scorched the
Bison's for a 90-yard punt return, setting a school record i n the process.
Ronnie Pendergraft concluded the

fiiist quarter scoring with a 4-yard run.
Sakko's conversion gave the Cavs a 210 lead lead after the first quarter.
The CVC defensive unit was especially impressive as they shut down the
Bison's offense for the first half. The
Bison's running attack was able to get
only 73 yards on 26 carries for the
game. The Cavs also picked o f f five
passes fVom Scarnicky and constantly
put tremendous pressure on him.
A David Nara to Shonn Bell 4-yard
pass connection gave the Cavs a 27-0
lead i n the second quarter. Sakko ended
the first half scoring rampage with a
23-yard kick to put the pumped up
Cavs ahead by a count of 30-0 at halftime. Sutton added a 10-yard run i n
the third quarter to put the Cavs up
36-0 heading into the final stanza.
The Bisons were able to get on the
board late i n the game. Richie Beckett
hauled in two touchdown passes from
Scamicky i n the fourth quarter to give
the Shell-shocked Bisons something
to cheer about, even though the outcome was already a lost cause. CVC's
Jerry Castle scored on a 44-yard jaunt
to end the scoring and to give the Cavs
a 46-14 victory.
For the Cavs, i t was a rewarding win
after giving up two or three big plays
i n each of the last four losses. The
Cavs ofiense scored when given opportunities and the defense stymied the
Bison's offense for the majority of the
game.
The win improved CVC's record to 36, while Bethany slipped to 3-6. The
Cavaliers will conclude their second
season by playing host to the University o f Alabama i n Birmingham at
Bullitt Park i n Big Stone Gap, VA on
Saturday.
NHL hockey preview: Blackhawks and Oilers should head divisions
Sam AgamI
Guest Writer
1. Chicago B l a o k h a w k a - The defending Campbell Conference champions see ready to make another run at
the Stanley Cup, Ed Balfor (2.70GAA)
is one of the best goaltendere i n the
league, and he will be helped by a wry
strong defense, led by Chris Chelios
(90, 47A): Scoring depth is a weak
point on this team. After Jeramey
Roenicfc (63G, 60A) and Steve Larmer
(29, 45) there is very little punch on
this team.
2. D e t r o i t Had WInga- The Wngs are
among the strongest teams i n hockey.
This team can score big and score often.
Steve Yzerman (460, 68A), Dino Ciecarelli (38,38), Paul Ysevaert (36,40),
Sergei Feckmv (32,64), Jimmy Carson
(34, 36), and Ray Sheppard (36, 26)
lead the most potent attack this side of
Pittsburgh. Tim Cheveldae (3.20OAA)
will be i n the crease for the Wings and
is among the best i n the NHL. This
team should be a leading contender for
the Cup this season.
3. St. Loula Bluea • The Blues have
some big guns on offense, mainly Bret
Hall (700,39A) and Brendan Ouutahan
( 33, 36). The defenseman are very
strong as well, while Curtis Joseph is a
strong goalie. St. Louis' main weakness is depth at all positions. I f they
come together early, the Blues could
challenge for the division title.
4. T m n t O Maple I^afg- The Leafs
should be improved i n 92-93. The
goaltending is solid with Orant Fuhr
(3.660AA), and he is backed by a solid
defense corps led by Dave Bllett (180,
33A). Their main weakness w i l l be
scoring, as there are few proven soorera
beyond Wendel'Cnaric (10,21) and Olenn
Anderson (24, 33). The Leafs are getting better, and should contend for a
playoff spot i n the Norris.
5. M i n n e s o t a N o r t h Stara • The
Stare are a lietter than average team,
but little more. Brian Bellows (30O,
46A), Ulf Dahlen (36,30), Dave Qagner
(31,40), and Mike Modano (33,44) are
quality forwards, but they have very
little help. The defense lacks any outstanding playera, although they have
many young playera w i t h potential.

1. E d m o n t o n O i l e r s - Like Notre
Dame football, the Edmonton Oilers
don't rebuild, they reload. The Oilera
have cleared out all the playera responsible for their five Stanley cups in the
'80s, and did so while they had high
trade value. These new Oilera are not
as familiar, but are nearly as strong.
The offense is very potent and deep, led
by Vincent Dampousse (380,61A), Joe
Murphy (36, 47), and Craig Simpson
(24, 37). The defense is also deep and
strong, led by Dave Manson (16, 32)
and Kevin Lowe.
B i l l Ranford
(3.580AA) remains one of hockey's top
goalies. With a little luck, Edmonton
could be back i n the hunt for the cup

season.
Through the yeara, Mitchell's teams
have been noted for their teimcious

Bynum said. "Not necessarily

ranked 17th, but i n there i n
the hunt going into pre-season
w i t h something to prove."
Bynum. however, is not resting on her winning past. Since
this her first year at the helm
of the 'Lady Cav program, she
can't be satisfied with a preseason ranking either.
* I don't see them as a successftil team necessarily. From

Bynum wants a stronger i n side game, however, she would
go with Collier's post play and
rebounding.
Depth will be another strong
factor as the Lady Cavs fill 13
uniforms this season. Returning reserves Mic Fimeno and
Leslie Sizemore bring back
valuable playing experience.
Freshmen Bethany Mullins,
Bobbi McAmis, Stephanie
Ward. Crystal Collins, and
Bridget McConnell are also
expected to contribute right
away.
