The presence of rats on campus is not a new problem. "There have always been rats on campus," said Peter Weigl, a professor of biology. Weigl said he has noticed the presence of Norway, or brown rats, on campus every year that he has worked at the university. These rats typically grow to an average length of eight inches, excluding the tail, and weigh approximately one pound. ''The students may be noticing a population bulge but it is not an abnormal occurrence," Weigl said. A surge in reproductio~ rates, more access to food and shelter or movement to the camp-us from other areas may all be factors that explain why the rat population has grown.

The legislature passed the Honor Council Deliberations Bill, which was proposed by the Judiciary Committee. This bill responded to the cqmplaint in the discussion paper, "The State o_fthe Honor System at Wake Forest" that "the difficulties in group store faculty faith in the system~ · process/deliberations are aggravated by .

In other business, legislators argued about a bill proposed by the Appropriations and Budget Committee that would appropriate $2,000 in funds to the Mortar Board organiz"tion. Mortar Board came before the Appropriations and Budget Committee this year to request financial assistance so that it could pay to ship approximately 600 pounds in used books to a needy university in Pakistan. Due to a lack of consensus, the legislature was forced to table the bill, or delay the passage or veto of the See SG, Page AS The Worrell Professional Center for Law and Management is a failure. accordinito an article in the Nov. 8 issue of The Wall Street Journal. But officials here on the Reynolda Campus are not too surpriSf?O with the article. "His facts were correct, but we just draw a different conclusion," said James Taylor Jr., the associate dean of external affairs at. the law school. Both Taylor and Patricia Divine, thedirectorofextemal relations and publications at the Babcock Graduate School of Management, agreed the budding relationship between the law and management schools is young and is expected ·to take years to develop. Ken Gepfert, the author of the article in The Wall Street Journal, said business and law are not mixing at the university and neither are the-faculty or students. He cited low numbers of students that have taken classes outside their own school shtce 1993 and an empty joint-faculty lounge. · . What Gepfert fails to realize is that the Worrell Center is two schools and'some students come to this campus to receive just one of those educations, {)fficials for both schools·said:·· · -, · · According to school officials, the professional center is an experiment only three years old: "There is more cooperation and collaboration (between the two schools) than what the article says, but it is a slow and evolutionary process, not a revolutionary one, " Taylor said_. Students, particularly members of the Babcock school, are encouraged to take courses at the other school in their second year when they have time for electives, according to Divine. Gepfert pointed to the low number of JDA candidates, those seeking a combined law and management degree, as an indicator oflow interaction, but the schools are indeed separate entities offering distinctly different educations and degrees. "The two institutions have their own constituencies that aren't based on cooperation. We don't want to be known as the business-law school. We are the law school,'" Taylor said.

The Student Budget Advisory Committee gave away an additional $6,404.50Friday, awarding at least part of the funds requested to nine of the ten organizations that appealed · for them. BACCHUS, the organization previously known as BARtenders, lost the money they had been awarded in the initial recommendations qecause their status as a chartered organization was called into question. Senior Graham Goodrich, the chairman of SBAC and the Student _ Government treasurer, said, "BACCHUS is gone, and for the simple reason that, unbeknownst to us. they had changed affiliations." Because they had changed affiliations, BACCHUS's charter as their former organization, BARtenders, was void. Therefore, they were considered an unchartered organization and had their funding revoked. "I think their goals are the same ... until that is confirmed, I wouldn't want to fund them," Goodrich said. The · money a\.Jarded tG BACCHUS, which totalled $1,648. was returned to the SBAC fund to help in the appeal process. Out of the ten organizations that appealed for more money, only WAKE TV did not receive any more money. "Their presentation didn't convince us that the money they needed was essential," Goodrich said. Karen Hillenbrand, the station managerofWAKETV,said, "I was disappointed that we didn't get any money in the appeal. I feel that ev- erything we asked for in our budget is needed to make WAKE TV a quality station. I don't feel that the SBAC allocation has allowed us to progress at the rate I feel WAKE TV should. Eventually, I think WAKE TV's financial needs will not be able to be met by the limited funds that SBAC has available to give us." SBAC awarded six decision packages to organizations, totalling $6,840. No decision packages had been awarded during the preliminary rounds of funding. -fEtll Money Requested • -Money Received "We really tried to prioritize and look at which organizations really needed their decision package,'' Goodrich said.

The additions to the three organizations totalled $1,612. Goodrich said, "I think the best part (of the allocation process) is the appeal process .... It's trying to assess the essential needs of the organization." The final budget allocated $333,801.50. That is $169.50 less than the $333,971 that SBAC had to give away. According to Goodrich, the difference went into the contingency fund. It did not go to an organization because it was not enough money to fulfill any of the specific needs of an -organization. Goodrich will meet with John Anderson, the vice president for finance and administration, next semester to discuss a contract that will determine the amount of money SBAC will have available to give to student organizations next year. "It is my hope that we can attain that I 0 percent increase every year. ...

Mary.Gerardy, the assistant vice president for student life and the chairwoman of the committee, led the discussion. She said that the name "gate committee" was a misnomer, because the committee was to investigate multiple security options, although President Thomas K. Hearn Jr. seemed partial to the idea of gates when he created the committee. Campus security has been a topic · of discussion prior to this year, but interest has been much greater in the months since the abduction of two female students last spring from a parking lot near Collins Residence Hall, Gerardy said. There is also renewed concern about security because of the abundance offfiM Thinkpad computers · that will be on campus next year as part of the Plan for the Class of Junior Bill Kennedy and Mary Gerardy, Assistant Vice 2000, she said.

She said that the committee has not yet reached any conclusions and that it will be some time before it gives recommendations to the administration. The Gate Committee has visited other schools, including Duke University, the University of Virginia, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a few other smaller schools, Gerardy said. These schools have been unable to implement gates due to traffic flow through their campus. However, other schools like Rice University have installed gates on campus. If gates were to be installed at the university, they would probably be placed at the Reynolda and Polo Road entrances, as well as the en- · trance from University Parkway. Of these, the Polo Road entrance has the most nighttime use, Gerardy said. The addition of security gates to campus would raise additional issues, such as the hours they would be manned by guards and the form of the gates used - guard posts or ' welcome gates, Gerardy said. · The committee is considering options other than gates. Alternatives include more roaming officers, personal alarms like beepers that can alert Campus Police to the location of the person wearing it, a more central location .for campus police and inore lighting, Gerardy said. Bill Kennedy, a junior and one of two student representatives on the committee, said that some students fear these gates may be turned intq sobriety checkpoint$, and that many students do not see the need for gates. He said most students view them as an unnecessary hassle. Harold Titus, an associate professor of art and a faculty representative of the committee, offered one reason for the administration, s safety concerns.". "President Hearn and other administrators are .so concerned because they are the ones who have to · call parents if something goes wrong," Titus said. Gates are not the faculty's preferred solution to the security problems, si nee the gates are more symbolic of security than effective, Titus said. Residence halls plagued by faulty water pipes Bv KATIE BROWN Co~TRIHUTING RE.PoRn:R Sophomores Mark Lindley and Rob Wiegard woke at 6 a.m. Nov. 6 to the sound of water dripping. But it wasn't a typical rainy Monday. They got up to find hot water coming from the ceiling in front of the closet in their room in Davis House. · "[knew immediately something was wrong," Wiegard said. · The newly renovated residence halls on the Quad have been flooded three times this month by leaking hot water pipes, the result of an error by the installation company in . programming the new computerized heating and cooling system. Before students arrived in August, the system was tested to ensure the safety of the building. By mistake the temperature was set too high, allowing the water to overheat, expanding the pipes and causing leaks. The source of the problem was not discovered until the third accident. The first leak started at 3 p.m. Nov. I in Davis 305E, an electrical and computer closet, and poured through the ceilings of both rooms directly below. Only the electrical system was affected, so only the electrical contractor came to assess the situation- and paid no attention to the leaky pipes. At 10:20 p.m. Nov. 5, a pipe leaked in the attic of the annex connecting Efird Residence Hall and Taylor House. The leak soaked the belongings of 18 students and knocked out the buildings' computer and cable lines. The Computer Center staff worked for one week to restore commu- · nication. Tim Burton, im assistant director of Residence Life and Housing, said that after this leak, he knew something had to be done and planned to call the installation company early ~e next day. • But that would be too late, as Lindley and Weigard discovered at 6 a.m. While the students' wet clothes and linens were taken to the drycleaners by the university, any other ruined belongings will have to be submitted on an insurance claim, independent of the university's consideration. Most students had never considered buying renter's insurance for the small dorm rooms, until they heard about the recent floods in Davis and Taylor houses. According to the university's "Guide to Community Living,"' the university is not responsible for anything "unforeseen" and suggests that students buy renter's insurance or check their parents' homeowner's insurance. Though most students and their belongings are covered under their pa~ents' homeowner's insurance as dependents, some may nqt be. By purchasing renter's insurance, students would be covered as if their room was a rented apartment. By signing a housing contract each year, every student agrees to the university's policy without much thought, until the "unforeseen" event happens to them. Sophomore Jared Cornelia of Davis 2 lOA discovered all of this the hard way after the water from 310 poured through his ceiling, ruining his books, notes and $100 scientific calculator that had been left qn the floor after a late night of studying for a test. "They drycleaned my clothes," Jared said, "but they told me I have to file an insurance claim 'on my calculator and books. I think they should have paid for everything." That morning the water gushed through suite I 09 and down to the lounge of Kappa Alpha fraternity, leaving the carpet wet in several rooms of surrounding suites. Physical Facilities responded quickly to aid the students, and the housekeeping staff worked overtime to vacuum the standing water and.exchange ruinedfurniture . The installation company has agreed to repair the damage free of charge, according to Connie Carson, the director of Residence .Life and Housing. The company has done many of the renovations on the campus and will continue to be ~sed by the university.· · "We're real sorry this qas happened," Carson said. "This is something that wasn't foreseen" Although the fault in the system has been corrected, the students affected by the floods continue to feel the inconveniences of such an event, waiting for clean clothes and borrowing books to study. Lindley and Wiegard are still discovering wrinkled computer paper, sealed blank envelopes, and-bubbled paint on the walls. Burton and the Office of Residence Life and Housing have sent a letter of apology to the students affected by the tloods, explaining the fault of the contractors. Student Union Survey studies entertainntent Bv JENNY Honns Ow Go1.1J ANt) Bt.ACK RI~ORtt:.R In much of the current debate about the intellectual and social atmosphere at the university, some students ha vecomplained that they haven't been consulted. The results of a Student Union survey hope to change that. Most students who bought books from the campus bookstore Aug. 28 and 29 were asked by members of Student Union to complete a student activities survey as they waited in line. The results of the survey are in. Senior Eric Williams, the public relations chair for Student Union, said that the idea for the survey has been in the works for two years. "I thought of this sophomore year, when I first joined Student Union." he said. Williams said that he was working with four different SU committees at that time, which meant that he attended most of the SU activities that took place on campus. He said that he noticed that turnout at events varied. So, he started asking his friends why they hadn't been interested in attending events. '·I was curious about what students were interested in," Williams said. "One of my friends said that students just want to be entertained at the end of a day. They don't wantto have to think." he said. . Student Union put together a survey to find out what students wanted. The rationale for conducting it in the bookstore was that. since students would wait in line to pay for their books anyway, they might as well answer a few questions as they waited. The survey, referred to by Williams as the "Will E. Report," received 1,571 responses, including 626 freshmen, 389 sophO!ilores, 264 juniors, 251 seniors and 41 graduate students. Williams said that the freshmen survey results tended to be indicative of how the other undergraduates responded. "It looks like we~re recruiting typical Wake Foresters from day one," he said. For example, 69 percent of freshmen surveyed indicated that watching a movie would be their most likely extracurricular activity for a weekday night, while 73 percent of the other undergraduate students responded the same way. Also. when asked what activities could prevent freshmen from attending an extracurricular event. 79 percent said that studying might get in the way; 83 percent of the other undergraduate students surveyed said that studying came before extracun"icular activities. Of freshmen surveyed, 40 percent said that 8 p.m. was the most likely time for them to participate, while 44 percent of other undergraduates agreed. Undergraduate students share the same taste in music and movies, according to the survey. For each class, alternative music is the most appealing. Of students surveyed, it is the favorite of 64 percent of freshmen. 65 percent of sophomores, 68 percent of juniors, and 76 percent of seniors. Soft rock and pop was the next most popular category for each class, while metal was the least favorite type of music for everyone surveyed. Comedies and action and adventure movies are the most popular movie choices of all undergraduate students surveyed, with comedies in the lead. Documentaries are the, least popular among all four classes. Williams pointed out that the similar responses of students to these surveys may indicate that the student body is not very diverse. The most popular type of extracurricular activity on campus, according to the survey, is anything which is entertainment-related, as opposed to activities dealing with current events; novelty acts; or political, historical, educational, student or "artsy" issues. Williams offered an explanation for these results. "After mornings and afternoons full of lectures. studying, homework and writing papers, the last thing students want to do is attend a lecture," he said. Williams suggested that professors who hold extracurricular activities in academic buildings should change the location because students don't want to spend free time in a place associated with schoolwork. Other results from the survey indicate that the best way to publicize events on campus is to distribute flyers and mailings, and to hang posters, especially in the Pit. Results of the survey will be presented to the Student Organizations and Activities Task Force today and to the Board of Visitors on Friday. ! Three Trumpeteers Members of the jazz ensemble played Tuesday at Brendle Recital Hall. Survey conducted to learn opinions about computers BY l\1ARY BETH FosTER OtJ) Gol.f) AND BLACK Rti'ORII.R Ethnicity, gender, household income and social security numbers are part of the information being requested in a survey recently administered to students to help the university evaluate its computerization process. "The overall study is designed to find out what changes occur at Wake Forest as a result of the computerization of the campus. This includes such things as student and faculty abilities to use computers, their attitudes toward computers, changes in communication patterns on campus and changes in the character and community of Wake Forest," said Michael Hazen, a professor of communication and the chairman of the department. "We hope that the university will use the results to know what is working about the computerization and what is having a positive impact on the university community while at the same time finding o·ut what is not working ... ," Hazen said. Both Hazen and Provost David Brown, whose name appears on the cover letter for the survey, said that the social security numbers would be held in strict confidence and would not be used to determine the identities of individual students. "I know that we are being very careful to use the- answers only for the purpose of e,valuating the impact of the plan, and no.t for . ~ .the purpose of any individual counseling. No one in the administration will ever see an individual response," Brown said. The researchers in the department of communication do not even have access to the information that would allow them to identify individual students from their social security numbers, Hazen said. "It may be that there are differences in effectiveness of the plan that will be dissimilar by gender ... and by the other demographic factors listed," Brown said. Hazen gave an example of the type of demographic links that would be of interest in the study. "For example, are only students from wealthy backgrounds buying Thinkpads and benefiting from the computerization?" Hazen said. · Results of the questionnaire and the broader computerization stud:fcould lead to changes. "The responses should and undoubtedly wi II ... result in a modification of the specific ways in which the plan is implemented," Brown said. · Brown indicated that the ability to change the plan as a result of siudent or faculty response may be limited by some decisions already made by the university, such as the commitment to use IBM Thinkpads. "Ourcapacity,to·cha.nge things is less constrained by any CQntrac:;t we might have (with ffiM) than by the sunk investment," Brown · said.

An article published in the Winston-Salem Journal ("Rats plague neighborhoods," July 2, 1995) reported that the city's cutback in funding for rat extermination has led to an increase in the sightings of rats throughout WinstonSalem. Residents fiom the impoverished Watkins Street neighborhood to the affluent Buena Vista neighborhood have all noticed increases in the amount of rats that they see emerging from the sewers and lush kudzu in WinstonSalem, according to the article. Due to the fact that rats move long distances until they find a steady and plentiful supply offood, the countless tons of trash that are produced- each week at the university make an inviting home for the rats of Winston-Salem. Many students said their main concerns with the rat population on campus are that they wi II spread disease, contaminate food and attack members of the campus community. Weigl discounted these fears. He said he feels that the danger of being attacked by a rat is negligible at this point in time due to the fact that rats will not be aggressive unless they are starving or extremety crowded. He said that he does not feel that the current .population of rats on campus is large enough to produce starvation or overcrowding. In addition, the notion that the rats are a serious threat for spreading disease is not viable, Weigl said. Unless the rats begin to infest dorm rooms and share common areas with students, the chances of the rats spreading any of their commonly carried di8eases - typhus, bubonic plague and rabies - are minimal. Dennis Lloyd, the administrative services manager who is responsible for monitoring the rat population on campus, said that Physical Facilities is aware of the problem and tha~ they have hired the Terminex company to exterminate the rats. Exterminators from Terminex come to the campus each Wednesday to control any pest problems that the students and faculty encounter, Lloyd said. Lloyd said that he has never had any reports of a rat problem inside either the Benson Center or the Pit. He said Scott Ownby, the director of ARAMARK, requested that Terminex exterminate the rats outside Benson. An exterminator who has worked at the university said that he had seen 10 or 12 nits in the bushes outside of the food' court entrance. Based on that observation, he estimated that there was a medium sized popula- ,'' I ! Sure, you could use the extra money -who couldn't?

A medium sized population ranges from fifty to one hundered rats. The rats are being exterminated through the use Of bait stations. The bait stations work by feeding the rats anti-coagulant. The poison causes to the rats to bleed to death internally within two or three days of ingestion. If the bait is effective, there should be a noticible decre~se in rats outside the Benson Center in abour two weeks. The report by Ownby is the only complaint that be has received lately, Lloyd said. Because of the nocturnal nature of the rats, it is difficult for Physical Facilities to find the probiem spots on campus, Lloyd said. He urges students and faculty to call Ext. 4255 if they frequently notice rats in particular areas. Weigl said that it will be extremely difficult to completely get rid of the rats on campus because they tend to move until they find steady sources of food. He said that students can help reduce the rat population by keeping their trash in waste baskets and by performing their own exterminations. · Another suggestion, Weigl said in jest, is for students to find non-traditional uses for rats. Though Weigl has not tried rat meat, he said that rat is a common staple in some cultures and that if substituted into the recipe for Squirrel stew, it might make a tasty treat. "If s~dents develop a taste for rats, their problems will be solved," Weigl said. Ford From Page 1 Ford spoke at the opening session on Friday and later participated in two panel discussions. Commenting on the two attempts on his life while he was in office, Ford said, "My own interest (in presidential disability) is slightly more than academic." On the subject of changes to the 25th Amendment, Ford spoke in favor of making any necessary changes to the amendment through legislation rather than through a change in the Constitution. Whereas a Constitutional amendment requires a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states, legislation requires a simple majority vote from Congress and approval by the president.However, Ford said he sees little need for change in the 75th Amendment as it now stands. "My conclusion is that the 25th Amend- ment is sound and usable, an excellent blue- . print to provide an orderly transfer of presi- · dential power," he said. Exactly how much information should the , , public have access to in the event of presidential impairment? According to Dr. Herbert Abrams, a professor at Stanford University, Reagan's condition after being shot was much worse than the public realized. Some participants in the symposi urn called for the creation of a panel of doctors who would advise the White House physician. According to Ford, some problems that would arise with this type of arrangement are deciding which medical disciplines would be represented on the panel and the accuracy of ' diagnosis by committee. "I have serious reservations that a panel of doctors should be assembled to determine a president's disability," he said. Former Indiana Senator Birch Bayh also argued against naming a panel. "There are certain things you take for granted. If someone is sick. doctors are going to be involved. The Constitution doesn't need to say that," he said. !

Congress sees no end in sight as both parties sit deadlocked for an agreement on the budget. Clinton has only signed three of 13 appropriations bills, and agreements for the other 10 are not expected to be resolved in the next week. Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the House, has proposed a bill that will temporarily pay the government's bills, allowing government workers to return to work, but Clinton has promised to veto it. Vital government functions, such as law enforcement, air traffic control, public health, the mail service and the military are continuing operations. Other government agencies, like the IRS, passports. and Social Security offices have all been temporarily closed. A custom-made bicycle worth $3,800 from the French House between 6 p.m. p.m. Nov. 6.

BY FRED TANGEMAN co,.,Rmullso REPoRTER • Clinton looks to send in troops DAYTON, OHIO - Clinton proposed that the government spend $1.5 billion to send 20,000 American troops to Bosnia to keep the peace. He estimated the troops would be stationed in Bosnia for approximately a year. The leaders of the Balkan countries are still having peace talks with U.S. mediators to decide on peace keeping conditions in Bosnia. The U.N. foresees the process of returning three million people to Yugoslavia as a two year process and could cost as much as $500 million dollars. The peace talks are expected to end in the next week although the outcome is not definite. • Simpson to go on trial again LOS ANGELES- The second trial in conjunction with 0.1. Simpson will be underway this week. Simpson is being sued by the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in separate wrongful death lawsuits. Both families are suing for financial damages over the murders of Brown and Goldman. Unlike the murder trial, Simpson does not have to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Only a "likelihood" of wrongdoing can find Simpson responsible for both deaths. In related news. Marcia Clark, the prosecuting attorney in the Simpson case, said at a conferenc~ for women that she did not believe that the police had enough evidence to charge Simpson with the murders, but that the Los Angeles Police Department ignored her advice and decided to charge him despite her objections. Welfare and welfare reform have been hot topics in the national political arena lately, and with the current budget crisis, the issue is more relevant than ever. Five concerned Winston-Salem area citizens addressed a small audience at 7 p.m. Monday night in Carswell Hall about the obligations that society has to its poor. The Philomathesian Society and the Huffman Lecture Council sponsored the discussion titled "Welfare: Whose Responsibility?" Each panelist made a short presentation which was then followed by an extended period of questions from members of the audience. Among the panelists were two faculty members: John Wood. a Reynolds professor of economics and Katy Harriger, an associate professor of politics. The other members of the panel have daily interaction with the welfare situation within Forsyth County. Rev. Ginny Britt, the director of the privately funded Crisis Control Ministry. concentrated her presentation on the religious necessity of aiding the poor, regardless of their use of the aid. She stressed the moral imperatives of helping those less advantaged, sighting scripture to back up her argume,nts. "If we could get half the income of Winston-Salem going to the poor, there's nothing we couldn't do," Britt said. Wood used a similar argument to show the historical imperatives ofhel~ing the poor. He read from writing~ dating back to Elizabethan England that mandated care for the poor to support his argument. Speaking in a humorous and sometimes anecdotal fashion, Woodtalkedaboutthe"work-· house mentality," an idea that forces work upon the disadvantaged regardJess of their social condition. "Not only is the workhouse inhuman, but it is terribly inefficient, in the "It is impossible to find anything absolutely pure in democratic system, but we are moving towards a one-sizefits-all mentality, which is bad due to the compexity of the problem." a Dan Beerman Director of social war pastas it is today," Wood said. He late~ linked some government programs wit~ the same impotence in aiding the poor; proposing that a more suitable approach to aid could be larger, less regulated block grants. The third professional member of the panel, Dan Beerman, the director of social work service of Forsyth County Department of Social Services. FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENT RESEARCH agreed with some of Wood's proposals for improved aid to the impoverished, but felt weary of the inability of any system to aeve ideal consensus. "It is impossible to find anything absolutely pure in a democratic systern," Beerman said, "but we are moving towards a one-size-fits-all mentality, which is bad due to the complexity of the problem." This idea ofcomplexity was stressed by all the panelists, but was demonstrated best by the presentation of the fourth panelist, TeshaGreen. A former recipient of welfare's most common form of aid, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Green managed to find steady employment as a welfare case worker .Green, a mother of one, is now finishing her last semester at Winston-Salem State University. Although Green said she was sure from her own e~periences within the welfare system that there are great constraints put on a family by the lack of money available, she contends that there are larger problems for welfare participants: "For me the biggest help was the day-care help, because without it you aren't able to work. People don't realize how difficult it can be." But all panelists agreed that misconceptions are clearly a part of the myth surrounding the welfare rhetoric. "We are regularly manipulated and deceived about the issue ... by political leaders that beat around the welfare 'strawman,' which is really 'strawwomen and strawchildren," Beerman said.

I -I ! i' Over I00 freshmen will be taking seminar classes next semester as part of a pilot program, but the planning for the seminars has not gone as smoothly as expected. Only 17 P,roposals were received for seminarS this semester, and 14 courses were offered to the participants of the ·pilot program. The faculty approved the_ first-year seminar project last spring. At that point, Dean of Freshmen Paul Orser said, the group began to solicit proposals from faculty for courses. In September; the committee on first-year seminars was created and immediately began to receive and review the proposals submitted by faculty, Orser said. Since they were creating new courses, the committee cast a wide net to faculty across campus, said Anne Boyle, an associate professor of English and a member of the advisory committee for first-year seminars. The committee asked professors for proposals of courses, but they did. not establish any criteria. "We got far fewer proposals than we had anticipated," Boyle said. She said though there are many reasons for the low number of proposals, the main factor was that most departments could not participate because they had already planned their academic year. · Boyle said she thinks anotheueason was that the committee diif not formulate criteria. The committee received 17 proposals and accepted 14 of them. Some of the proposals were in competition with each other, Boyle said. Even though departments sent in more than one proposal, some only had enough faculty for one. According to Boyle, the committee had originally wanted 15 courses to offer next semester. "I really believe in this," Boyle said. "I think things just get off to a slow start." When a packet was distributed to the pilot program students Oct. 30 offering the 14 courses, 131. freshmen completed it, rating their top three course choices as well as their last two choices. "I think it could be a really good program, but I think we have a lot of work." Anne Boyle Associate Professor of English As a result of student response from the recent packet, II of the original 14 courses are offered next semester. Since the students have returned the packet with their preferred choices, Orser said he has assigned the students to their top preferences. A vast majority received their first choice, he said. Some of the courses meet divisional requirements, yet a majority do not. Boyle said she can imagine that this will presenrsome problems. Students were very interested in the courses that were most likely to receive divisional credit, Orser said. However, the faculty still has to approve whether each course will fulfill a requirement, Orser said. The maximum amount of students in any of the II courses is 16. Orser said the smallest class holds four students. Another proble~p with this pilot program is that plans will have to be made for the courses offered next fall without ever seeing the results from this spring, Boyle said. The faculty committee will closely SG From Page 1 bill until a further point in time, when more discussion and consideration has taken place. Sophomore Will Ashworth, a member of the legislature, said, "I feel that the bill deserves consideration, however I think that tabling the bill was the right decision, because it will give us time to reconsider it and decide whether it needs to be amended." Many members of the legislature felt that $2,000 was an exorbitant sum to commission to a largely unheard of organization. . The Mortar Board organization is a senior honor society comprised of 26 students. Members of the organization are pledged to exhibit service, scholarship and leadership. The book drive is part of the group's service project for this year. One of the group's members formulated the idea after visiting a university in Pakistan this summer and observing the minimal resources that the university library contained. Since then, Mortar Board has collected 200 pounds of books to ship to Pakistan. The problem, however, is locating the funds needed in order to be able to ship these books. With the $2,000 that the Appropriations and Budget Committee would allot to them, Mortar Board would be able to afford to send these books in addition to the 400 pounds of books that they hope to collect from students and faculty. Sophomore David Slade, a member of the legislature, ·! follow the progress of these courses in the spring, Orser said. "I think a lot of what we're looking at is the succes& of the seminar format," Orser said. Faculty are excited to teach these courses which will account for a high probability of success; Orser said. "My hope is that these evolve to be really :::trong and powerful courses," Boyle said. The university will need to establish approximately 60 courses for next fall to accomodate the entire freshman class, she said. Orser said he thin~s that there will be enough proposals and faculty involvement to fill this need. In the future, these courses will hopefully be linked to campus. events, Boyle said. "I think it could be a really good program, but I think we have a lot of work," she said. "All students at Wake Forest should .have a small seminar class and explore an issue closely with the faculty," Boyle said. The seminar pilot program students are housed in Collins Residence Hall, along with the approximately I00 students who are part of the pilot program for the computer proposal, Orser said. Over the summer, renovations occurred in Collins. Two new seminar rooms were constructed to contain some of the freshman seminars. One room is a bonafide seminar room, Orser said. It has a TV and VCR on the wall, surround sound, tables, chairs and a sofa. The second room is set up as a seminar room primarily for computers. There are 28 ports along the walls and 18 at the tables. Teaching in Collins has been accepted and well received by faculty and students. Orser said. "I was really thrilled to see the enthusiasm of faculty to teach in Collins Hall," he said. said Mortar Board should make every possible attempt to raise the money on its own and then appeal to sa for funding. "I think that Mortar Board is making a great effort to help a needy cause, however I would feel more comfortable talking to my constituents before voting for the bill," Slade said. '~ Senior Heather Nunez, the treasurer of the Mmtar Board organization, was present during the debate over the bill to explain the project and answer any questions from the legislature; Despite the fact that Sa has tabled the bill, Mortar Board is determined to carry out its project somehow, Nunez said. ''This project is very important to the students in Mortar Board, and we will do whatever we can to obtain the money that we need," Nunez said. . The contingency fund was established to fund groups in times of emergency, such as in instances when they themselves cannot provide the money or assets that they need, according to the Appropriations and Budget Committee. According to members of Mortar Board, last year's membership left them minimal funds. The money from the sa contingency fund would allow the group to send the books to Pakistan at a much earlier date than if they were to rely solely on fund-raising projects. In addition, the legislature passed a bill that recommends that the Student Life Committee and the faculty grant a charter to the Community Development Task Force. The purpose of this task force is to build a stronger community between the faculty, administration, students and residents of Winston-Salem through programs and campus activities. er arr1s Low Hunter All Natural Ice Cream 1/2gal.

No, we're not talking about the folks in Reyno Ida Hall, though we've seen some of the rodents scurrying about the entrance to the Pit. Our gripe is with real vermin. We've seen the not-so-little beasts all over campus. Of course. a certain number of rodents is inevitable. And the burgeoning rat population may not be the university's fault. The local city and county governments have cut back on pest control programs recently, creating rat problems elsewhere. But when rats become as commonplace as squirrels. it's time for the university to do something. The case against rats is pretty solid: Not only are they creepy, but they also catTy diseases that can be spread to the people. For a university that expends so much energy keeping the campus asthetically pleasing to the eye, surely something can be done to get rid of tlfu_se unwanted creatures. "-~ . .

We 'II leave those decisions to the experts, we just ask for Godspeed. Of course. these days, if it's not the rats, then it's the hot water pipes. Students in Davis House and Efird Residence Hall have been the unlucky victims of bursting pipes. Many had personal items like clothes destroyed by water. The pipe problems may also pose a risk to student education. In Efird. ethernet connections were also damaged by water. But since computers are deemed to be so vital to education. it's a shame the university has not done more to protect the connections from water. Of course. the best time to fix the problems with the pipes would have been during the recent renovations of dorms like Davis. Whatever the case. students should have a reasonable expectation that their personal items will not be subjected to datl'age. If the university cares to uphold their end of the bargain, they should check the hot water system now in order to prevent problems before they occur. his column will be different from the ones I have written in the past. My desire to create something different is not motivated by any illusions of"finding myself' as a writer or that my previous submissions have somehow offended any lofty literary standards to which I hold myself. I'm just really bored with putting my spin on "important" issues and I'm sure that readers are becoming more than a little weary of my persistent harping. Considering my boredom and the fact that I have wracked my brain without finding anything of consequence to write, I've decided that it is time to step out and have a little fun. I've come to the conclusion that I should write about something I enjoy, and which, for me at least, reflects life in various and sundry ways: football. Everyone has one of "those days." Sometimes you have one of those weeks, months, years or lifetimes. Do you often find that your problems overwhelm you? Do you feel that your very existence is pointless, totally meaningless, and utterly devoid of hope? Well, just observe this year's edition of Northwestern Wildcat football and take heart, my friend. For about the past six or seven generations, this academic powerhouse has been cranking out gridiron patsies and making Homecoming a pleasant occasion for the rest of the Big Ten Conference. In a conference packed with football powerhouses, you could always look forward to a leisurely Saturday afternoon each fall when you were afforded the opportunity to watch your alma mater mercilessly pound the overn1atched Wildcats into submission. Even worse, their uniforms were the. color of an extremely nasty bruise. MATTHEW GILLEY STVULlNT Cm.UMNIST No more. These purple and black warriors from Evanston, Ill. have literally flipped the college football establishment upside down by toppling such perennial national championship hopefuls as Notre Dame, Michigan, and Penn State. What's more, they beat the Irish and Wolverines on the road, an impressive feat for anyone. All of this from a football program that last year appeared pointless, totally meaningless, and utterly devoid of hope. Hmm ... smaU time football program suddenly goes big time. I wonder if this trend could be catching? Yet football, just like life, will suddenly yank the rug out from under you just when things seem to be in order and going your way. For instance, you find something that you can take heart in, something you can count on, something in which you can find hope amidst the vicious betrayals of day-to-day life, and then it moves to Baltimore. Yes, the Cleveland Browns, who arguably have (had) the most loyal hometown following in the NFL, spurned the Great Lakes for the more prosperous shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Or something like that. Maybe they just figured that Cal Ripken couldn't have been wrongall2,131 times. Ironically, though, they are moving to a city whose beloved football team, the Colts, was snatched ten years ago by the enticing metropolis of Indianapolis. But chin up, Cleveland- I hear that the Houston Oilers are looking for a new home. It's a perfect match, especially considering your prime location on the shore ofthat oilslick you call Lake Erie•. · Football may put a smile on your face but it definitely will not set your world in order, About ten years ago, the Oakland Raiders detennined that their fortunes would be greater in Los Angeles and took the life out of a city that had adored them for decades. However, about ten years of careful consideration and poor attendance led Raider owner AI Davis to the conclusion that Oakland was. in fact, the best placefortheSilver and Black. Which would not have been so bad for Los Angeles if the crosstown Rams had not already been hypnotized by the copious amounts of money and a new domed stadium that the city of St. Louis dangled in front of them. Not to mention the fact that all of this had to come about when one of LA's brightest personalities and greatest sports heroes, O.J. Simpson, was on trial for murder. Strange things are afoot in the City of Angels. But in football, just as in life, there is always a brighter side. Browns fans should realize that their loss of a football team could be punishment imposed by cosmic forces for turning Don King and George Steinbrenner, two native Clevelanders, loose on the sporting world. Yet they should see the silver lining in their dark cloud: the Indians won the pennant this year after decades of crushing ineptitude. Even hard-luck Los Angeles has' reason for optimism, for the city can still profit in a small way from this mess. All that its citizens have to do is choke back the sorrow, take a deep breath, and say,"Well, while we're at it. we might as well get rid of the Clippers."

Often these changes have taken the university to the cutting edge of academe. But an article appearing in The Wall Street Journal serves to remind us that being on the vanguard can potentially be embarrassing when changes do not work as planned. The article argues that the university's attempt to link the law and business schools more closely together has been a failure. The university's program was conceived because businessmen and lawyers must work closely together but often fail to understand each others' fields. The university's solution was to make the programs more interdisciplinarian in nature to promote understanding and improve working relations between the groups. Law students were encouraged to take business classes. and vice versa. The schools also would be joined together under the roof of the Worrell Professional Center. A lounge was even built for students from the two schools to share what they had learned with each other. According to the article, however, not much has changed during the program's three years. Most students have not ventured from their chosen fields. Likewise. pro- fessors have been slow to change their curricula much. We disagree with the article's implication that the program has failed. It certainly is not surprising that deep-seated educational traditions have not magically changed overnight. In fact, it's probably wise to move slowly so that the students' education do not suffer because of hasty changes. On the other hand, the university should not be surprised when the media and students critique their lack of progress. Students too must guard their own educational and monetary interests when they choose schools. If nothing else, the slow rate of , change over at WmTell should be a reminder that programs often do not offer all they promise in the first few years of their existence. For example. the university has promised much with the computer part of the Plan for the Class of 2000. Nevertheless, the program has already received media attention, not all of it positive. Of course, problems are to be expected. But with the school's reputation and so much student money at stake, the university had better make sure the program lives up to its expectations. Otherwise, bad press may not be their only concern. OLD GOLD AND BLACK Brian J. Uzwiak Editor in Chief Rachel Sheedy Jim Myrick Managing Editor Business Manager Associate Managing Editor: J.

'_.' '*' :··1)'·· Grades justified Judging from the discussion abounding within the university community, students and faculty must be evaluating the grading system at the university. Within the last two weeks alone, two columns have appeared in the Old Gold and Black about the issue. ("Escott battles windmill of grade inflation," Nov. 2 and "Grades accurate," Nov. 9). However, most of the discussion on the part of the students has been self-righteously indignant, and the need for an honest assessment has become obvious. As has been stated in an earlier column. ("Grade evaluation," Oct. 5), students at the university tend to view grades as a form of currency, something which they can barter for careers and graduate admissions. One has only to read the Nov. 2 column by Rachel Sheedy to find evidence of this attitude. which to some extent holds true in today's society. Grades are a determining factor in career and admissions applications. Notwithstanding, grades are primarily an evaluation of a student's performance in a class; however a company or graduate school uses grades. and the grade itself must remain the professor's appraisal of the student's work. It is perhaps true that the university must change its grading system to reinforce the meaning of a grade. Students might respond better to a grade-free system, a system where faculty write paragraph evaluations instead of choosing grades. However. it seems that the current grading system will stand for the moment. and the current dialogue is based on this assumption. The argument about grade inflation at the university hinges on the question of the quality of the typical student. No one debates the point that approximately 70 percent of the graduating class will graduate with honors this year and that the average GPA is climbing. In fact, very few people even dispute the claim that students at the university have improved in the past ten years. However, the question must be asked, with respect toqualityofwork (and thus grades), whether the typical student is of such a caliber that seventy percent of students should graduate with distinction, and this question must be answered honestly. Honestly, the answer is no. The typical student is simply not of any excellent quality. While some students at may compare with the best students at the Ivy League schools, the overwhelming majority do not. Even leaving aside the issue of the average capability of Wake Forest students, which is at best only moderate, students at this university are not model scholars. As a number of professors have remarked, most students here are not intellectually stimulated or stimulating. They do not invigorate their classes; instead, they leave that enervating job to the professor. Outside of class, most students do the minimum amount of work necessary and disengage themselves from academic or other intellectual pursuits whenever possible. Nor is the social climate at Wake Forest beneficial for studies. Intelligence and success in course work is not respected here; they are envied, and envied with such hostility that students just hide them out of fear. Connor states that if grading standards are raised, Wake Forest students will continue to meet the challenge. They will spend more time working, not out of love for their work, but in order to earn a grade: their key to some bright tinancial future. Connor may be correct. However, good students would spend more time working for their courses. not for the grade, but out of sheer love for learning. It is this one difference between a good student and the typical student that deadens classes and stifles the academic atmosphere of the university. This disinterest in academics is why Wake Forest students have no right to protect their grades "with a complete sense of self-righteousness and with a free conscience," as Geoffrey S. Connor, the author of "Grades accurate," claims. And until the average student becomes more interested in academics and begins to love learning for the sake of learning. Connor and Wake Forest need not worry about becoming like the Ivy Leagues or even like Duke University. Until the student population changes, the university will never compare to those schools. Coverage lacking I was deeply disappointed in the coverage of Homecoming Weekend that appeared in the Nov. 9 edition of the Old Gold and Black. The headline of the article, "Homecoming offered myriad of activities," was certainly appropriate, but the article focused mostly on the activities that were sponsored by the Student Union. What really confused me was the picture of Racial Harmony that appeared with the article, particularly since it had nothing to do with the article. Some information in the caption was incorrect and showed carelessness in obtaining the correct information about the picture. I'd like to now give a brief synopsis of events that were sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Black Student Alliance, since it was missing from the "myriad" of Homecoming activities. On Friday, Nov. 3, a panel discussion called "Life After Wake Forest" was heldfeaturingareaalumni. BSA and Asian Student Association then sponsored a jazz mixer at the NIA House for students and alumni. On Saturday, Nov. 4, a pre-game tailgate was held. After the football game was the Homecoming Show, which featured Alpha Phi Alpha step teams as well as vocal groups Racial Harmony and NiShati. Comedian Michael Colyar then performed for the audience. He has appeared on HBO's Def Comedy Jam, his own comedy special and Star Search. Following this show was the Homecoming Jam which was sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha in the gym. I think I was most disappointed in the coverage of the Homecoming King and Queen. Last year, I almost missed the picture of the queen because it was buried in some obscure spot in the paper. This year, there was no picture, just one sentence in the article about the fact that they had been crowned, in which the classification of Jamey Spencer, the king, was incorrect. He is a junior, not a senior. While the reason for the decrease in coverage of the Homecoming king and queen is quite another letter to the OG&B (and quite a lot of people Andrew Frey know what I'm talking about), I feel that Spencer and Ingrid Hoover, the queen, deserve a little more acknowledgementthan what they got. Now I know jumping on the Homecoming issue may be a little nit-picky relative to other issues that affect us as students (to some extent it is to me~), but what I hope this letter does is bring to light the fact that what some segments of the university community saw as an important social event was treated poorly by the OG&B. The reality is that the carelessness that was shown in he coverage of Homecoming seems to be commonplace, because I've noticed this kind of misinformation and lack of information just about every time I've opened this newspaper. Ronda M. Bryant Reduced spending Kyle Haden's article, "Off-campus eateries could give ARAMARK run for its money," (Nov. 2, 1995) proposes to combat unreasonable oncampus prices by enabling students to use their meal cards at off-campus establishments. While I will make no judgement about the necessity or justification of higher food prices on campus, I have noticed that prices are often lower off-campus. Mr. Haden's proposal is one way to reduce food spending and will also increase competition for ARAMARK. I have another suggestion: keep (part or all ot) the cash in your bank account instead of depositing it into a Deacon Dining account. It will be as safe at Wachovia as it is at ARAMARK. Surely college students do not need a benevolent overseer (i.e. ARAMARK's dining plan) to make sure we do not spend our food money on other things. And I believe college students can save money by buying, at least sometimes, off-campus. Also, cash is a better competitive equalizer: all establishments accept it. not just ARAMARK, and not just the selected eateries that (if Haden's proposal is implemented) will agree to accept meal cards. Since a meal plan is required for freshmen, Mr. Haden's proposal is more practical for them. But keep in mind that even if his proposal is not approved, we have another option.

I(OW fpAttS•T! ~- There's no place like home Q uestion: Ifl were to ask you right now, today, where you consider your home to be, what would you say? Would you look at me with a· straight face and answer, "My dorm (or apartment)?" Would you not even give my question a second thought before you began to tell me all the exciting details of your hometown? Or, would you pause, think for a few moments, and tell me that you honestly just don't know? As Thanksgiving break approaches, many of us are preparing for the long-awaited trek back to the home in which our parents live. Most students do not have the luxury of going home but once or twice a semester. Therefore, the times when we do go home are marked by excitement, thoughts of relaxation, and possibly confusion. Yes, confusion. You heard me correctly. Going horne is a strange little phenomenon, wouldn't you · agree? As the years have passed, I have grown apart from my high school buddies. Now home represents time to spend with JtY family. Before I left for college, I never realized how important my family would become to me. I have a special relationship with both of my parents, my older brother and especially with my nine-year-old little brother. When I first walk into my house during a break, it seems slightly foreign to me. I look around the house, inspecting everything as though I have been gone for years, not months. I am amazed that there is actually food in the refrigerator, instead of TASHA Cox GU!lST COI.UMNIST the half-empty jar of salsa and Grey Poupon that has proudly remained' in my fridge back at school. Then comes the moment of truth: going back to look at my bedroom. My room at home is a conglomeration of things that I have had since I was a little girl. The pastel flowered wallpaper that was hung when I was 12 no longer reflects my eclectic21-yearold taste. Looking around my room, I realize that all of my necessary items are in my dorm room. The shelves where I keep my CD player and television are empty, and my closet is bare. Suddenly I feel tom between two worlds: the world I used to live in and the world I left back at school. During your college years you change and grow a lot from when you lived in your room during high school. Some individuals have parents who moved after they graduated from high school. For these people it is an even stranger experience to stay in an unfamiliar house for a few weeks or moriths. But as we get older, we have to accept that our home is, well, not really ours anymore. When your parents start gushing about the new couch in the family roo_m and you start to feel like you have no say about anything in the house anymore, truth is, you really do not. So what is the point of all of this "home talk?" The important thing to remember is that we have to appreciate that we can still call our parents' home our home. Most of us overlook the free laundry service, the delicious home-cooked meals, and the freedom to have the run of the house as a right we have as daughters and sons. And we do. For now. But when we seniors graduate (and the rest of you as well). going home will no longer be the privilege that it is. Oh, sure, do not get me wrong. You can always go home and live with your parents. A lot of people do. But after you graduate from college, about a year after, if you are still chillin' out at home spooning off of your family, you will probably start to feel kind of lame. The truth is that as we get older, we begin to apprec;iate our parents and our families a lot more. While friends come and go and jobs change left and right, our families are the only constant thing that we have in the world. For some reason, when you are home, the food always tastes better. your clothes always look brighter and your dad can always fix whatever it is that you broke back at school. When we are at home, we can relax. We can step back from our busy lives at school and recharge. So, as we all sit down with our families this Thanksgiving, let us remember that these moments we have as children at home for break are precious. We might have to endure long exchanges with boring relatives. We might get annoyed by our parents' quirks. But the bottom line is that we have to accept our families. They are the only ones we have.

"I was impressed at the team's focus before the race through the distracting, discouraging weather conditions." Goodridge said. "It was . a very smart, directed race.

He added that he hopes to bring in six players in next season's recruiting class. "We have a foundation set with players showing maturity," Vidovich said. "And our youth got some big ganies under their belts. With the ad~ition of new players, we're ready for a good season next year." The team n~e Nancy of France may not strike fear into opponents' hearts, but it connoted quite enough problems for the Demon Deacon men's basketball team in its 1995-96 de.but game Saturday night in Joel Coliseum. . . The French professional team; after nearly being blown off· the hardwood in the first half of the Deacons' exhibition, rallied in the second half to outscore the Deacons 49-31 in the last 20 minutes· to steal an 80-78 win. In an ominous tum of events, the Europeans shocked the Deacons on the evening of the day that it was released that sophomore guard Jerry Braswell is academically ineligible (or the fall semester portion of the team's season. The loss was largely due to the lackluster play the home team elicited from its .slew of inexperienced guards. Th~ possibility that Braswell's suspension may be extended to cover the entire season does not bode well for the Deacons, especially in light of Saturday's game. The Deacons'. performance against their French foes was a fine example of role reversal. After smoothly executing their way to a 47-31 halftime lead, thanks largely to phenomenal shooting from the floor, the Deacons came out with ~flat defensive effort in the second half and allowed Nancy to steadily chip its way back into the game. With· less than a minute to go in the contest, Nancy had clawed its way to a two-point lead, and after junior center Tim Duncan was fouled on the Deacons' ·next pOS$ession, the Deacons were forced to rely on Duncan's two free throws to level the . score. Duncan drained both of the foul shots, and the Deacons went on the.defensive :with the game tied · at78. · However, Nancy forward Derrick Lewis was subsequently able to put in a miss by teammate Herve Dubuisson to give his team a two-point lead with 12.2 seconds to play, and sophomore Deacon guard Tony ~utland was then unable to find Duncan with an errant pass after penetrating deeply into the Nancy defense on the final play of the game. Despite the loss, the Deacons played ~e first 20 minutes of their season in surprisingly fluid fashion. Lead by Duncan's 12 first-half p()ints (on perfect six-for-six shooting from the floor)' the Deacons shot an impressive 65.5 percent before halftime. "I think we played well in the first half," Head Coach Dave Odom said after the game. "We got lots of open-court baskets, our offense was clicking, and our fast break was clicking. I thought defensively we were pretty good, and I thought we rebounded the ball well. "I was very surprised, really, that we played as well as we did the first half," Odom said. · Junior forwards Ricky Peral and Sean Allen also had strong first halves. Peral went four-for-eight from the floor (including one-for-three from three point range) in the first half, and he scored the first · points of the Deacons' season on a jam from the left baseline. Allen, meanwhile, shot a perfect threefor-three from the floor and two-for-two from the free throw line before the intermission. Joe Weeks Junior Tim Duncan shows Nancy of France what a preseason All-American can do. Jhe play of Allen, who finished with 15 points in the game, was especially encouraging for the Deacons, as it provided a preliminary solution to the personnel problem the Deacons have at power forward this season. Allen also tallied five rebounds and a team-leading-three steals in the contest and played with an intensity that the rest.ofthe team struggled to generate. The second half saw the Deacons' execution on both sides of the ball come to a grinding halt, as none of the home team's assortment of guards proved able to either take away the perimeter shot on defense or run a coordinated offensive attack. "Our offense went stagnant," Odom said of the second half. "We had no movement. They alternated between zone and man (defense). We didn't handle that very well." Rutland, particularly, seemed as though he may not be completely ready to assume the role of Deacon floor general. The guard hit only one-of- six shots from the floor in the second half (he finished with l 0 points on three-of-!! shooting), and turned the ball over five times in the contest. Partly as a result of Rutland's poor decisionmaking, the Deacons' performance qr the offensive end of the floor suffered in the second half. In Braswell's absence, neither sophomore guard Steven Goolsby nor freshmen guards Joseph Amonett and Annond Wilson seemed comfortable at shooting guard, though Goolsby did manage to hit three treys and finish with II points. "I thought down the stretch our inexperience at guard showed," Odom said. "We dido 't get into the sets we wanted to." Duncan, meanwhile, put together a very quietly dominating 38 minutes. Though the center had problems at times with the smaller, quicker Lewis, he finished the game with a rounded stat line that reflected his very solid performance: 26 points on 11-14 shooting, 12 rebounds and five blocks. Stevenson qualifies for x-country nationals, team places disappointing sixth BY ADAM RoTHSCHILD Ou> Go1.1> AND B1 ACK RH•oRTI:R The result of Saturday's NCAA District3 Meet at Furman University in Greenville, S.C. hardly seems fair. In fact, the outcome of the race, held in what Head Coach Francie Goodridge desci'ibed as, "the worst conditions I've ever seen," can be accurately declared an outright tragedy. The women's,cross country team, which established itself as one of the nation's best early this season, will not get a chance to compete in the NCAA National Championship Meet Monday because of an unfortunate circumstance that no tr11ining strategy or prior preparation could have prevented. . Less than 400 meters from the finish of one ofher best races ever, sophomore Katie Brandy collapsed from extreme physical exhaustion. Seventy-one runners passed her as she painfully struggled to the finish, and the Deacons fell from a position of contention to sixth place in the meet and out of championship consideration. Senior Nicole Stevenson ran an incredible race for the Deacons and was near the front of the pack over the entire 5K course. Stevenson wound up second overall, four seconds behind North Carolina State junior Kristen Hall and ahead of the ACC champion, North Carolina's Karen Godlock,. and Florida's Becki Wells, the 1993 District champ. Stevenson's high finish qualified her to compete at Monday's NCAA National Championship as an individual. Goodridge said of the 1993 All-American and top Deacon runner, "She now carries the Wake Forest banner into the seventh NCAA Championship in which Wake Forest has competed as a team or on an individual basis." Senior Cindy Moreshead crossed the line I Oth overall in her final collegiate race. Moreshead ran exceptionally well despite the frigid downpour and poor drainage of the course. The 5-0 Moreshead ran through water and mud up to her waist in places. · Junior Liz Cotter, rebounding from a subpar race in the ACCChampionships, finished 14th overall and in the team's third position. Junior Chrissy Person crossed the line fourth for the Deacons and 42nd in the race. As the race unfurled, the Deacons appeared to have a great chance of~nishing third in the ' meet and earning an NCAA National Championship berth. Goodridge said, "Through three of the top-five scoring positions, Wake Forest had it won. At two miles, our fourth runner was holding 17th place, running one of her best races ever, and Chrissy Person our No.5, although back in 42nd place, still held us as a team in third place and a probable national qualification. Then disaster struck in the final stretch of the race. "Our hopes as a team for this season were dashed in that final stretch as we went from being a team more than capable of contending for a top national finish to a non-qualifier." For Goodridge, Saturday's race was a bitter end to a potentially magical season. "We went into this competition as defending champions whose great early season had taken a downward spiral. It was show-me time, and most of the team responded with gutsy performances, only to suffer a heartbreaking loss at the end. "In my 23 years of coaching I have never had a team more able, relative to their competition, to win big. After a season of such great promise, Icanonlybeextremelydisappointed \ with the final resul!." >-. • t• • t . ·-~ . ~ .m.o.w.c.~.o.A~.s.u.a.Th.~ . .M.~.N.~.EM.srn•1•6,•1~.s. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .- . . -. . . . . . . . . . . . . .. -. . sroRTS----------------~------•~-w....-........ ··._.._._.........-..-..... d Women's golf fiDIShes 1:ltW ·· · ·· at Hilton Head tournantent • Men's basketball signs 7-1 center JlMCQNNOTES<> . ·.

The SU film committee meets for an hour every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., and its meetings are open to anyone, not just film committee members. In addition to participating in the meetings, the 15 members hang up posters, collect tickets and decide on Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore star in Ni11e Months, showing Dec. 8-10 in Pugh Auditorium. Study break Here is the SU film schedule for the rest of the semester: Movies are free unless otherwise noted. All showings are in Pugh Auditorium.

Junior Tesh Ramey, a film committee assistant, said, "The committee is very lowmaintenance." She said the tasks are minimal, yet the members benefit from free movies, posters and food. "We are just a bunch of people who enjoy movies, and want to pick movies that others will enjoy," Temoney said. The film committee's biggest task is deciding what movies to play in Pugh Auditorium. SU has licensing C(•ntracts with two movie distributors, Film Inc:, and Swank; the committee usually picks the movies it purchases from these two firms. The members can be creative and choose movies based around themes. A recent example is the Jim Carrey weekend, playing Ace Vemura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber and The Mask. The Fright Fest over Halloween spooked its spectators with The Shining, Poltergeist and Silence of the Lambs. For December 1-3 the Film Committee is planning an AIDS awareness weekend, which will touch its audience with Philadelphia and The Cure. Deciding on the movies is a difficult task. The committee has to consider what students will enjoy and what the Student Union film series can afford. "Wake Forest students are very unpredictable in their tastes," Temoney said. Movies the film committee thinks they will enjoy sometimes attract only small crowds. The Jim Carrey weekend had less than 200 spectators during eight showings. The Shaw shank Redemption, on the other hand, which played in the middle of the week, practically filled the auditorium. The film committee purchases very recent movies. Recent l6mm films, not yet on video, are available but are expensive. These movies are usually played on weekends, with an admission charge of $2. The other movies purchased are already on video and are less expensive, yet may be less popular among student tastes. These movies are purchased to give students the opportunity to enjoy free movies they might not ordinarily see. But this year's moviegoers have not been as active as those of past years. When asked why she does not attend the movies in Pugh, sophomore Meredith Goodrum said, "I just do not have time. I am too busy." Others say it doesn't even occur to them. Sophomore Judy Ariganello said. "I just do not think of it." Temoney also attributed the smaller attendance to the lack of variety of movies this semester. Temoney said that the film committee may have picked too many "blockbuster" movies this year. In the past, some of the most popular films in the series have been foreign and art films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Piano and Like Water for Chocolate. Revenue from weekend movies is essential to the film committee's operation because the money earned from these screenings pays for the movies. "The budget we get (from SU) is not small. We do not generate that much revenue from (the series)," Temoney said. In fact, the only profitable film so far this semester has been Kids. Approximately I ,400 people attended this controversial tilm. There was no opposition to its screening, Ramey said. "Nobody else was showing it in the area. It was a realistic movie and I thought it should be shown." Last year, Midnight Cowboy, an X-rated film, was shown without problems. The Kids showings incorporated several things that the Student Union film series plans to do more of in the future. Professors, such as Christy Buchanan, an assistant professor of psychology, Mark Pezzo, an instructor in psychology and Jonathon Epstein, a visiting instructor in sociology, led discussion groups after the film. _ They discussed such issues as how realistic the film was, what director Larry Clark was trying to do, and why the movie ended the way it did. The committee sent letters asking professors to participate on the panels. The letter also told professors that next semester, they will be able to play any movie they want on weekdays in Pugh Auditorium as long as the film committee is notified five weeks in advance. Professors will be able to show movies to supplement their in-class teaching or to stimulate student interest in their fields. Earlier this semester the film series invited Ken Mattingly, an astronaut on Apollo 13, to speak on campus. Mattingly's agent had called Temoney, asking if the university would like Mattingly to come and speak. She directed the agent to SU lecture chairman Scott Brawley, who coordinated the lecture with the showing of Apollo 13. More variety is the watchword for next semester's series. The film committee hopes to show such offbeat movies as Four Rooms, a movie from the perspective of four different directors and Get Shortv, a current movie that is enjoying some success at the box office. A final ploy planned to increase the attendance during the week is organizing giveaways. Hoop Dreams enjoyed much success earlier this semester when a free basketball was distributed at each showing. As for next semester's movie plans, the committee has already chosen features for the first four weekends. The Brady Bunch will amuse its spectators Jan 19-21; Clueless with Alicia Silverstone will play Jan 26-28; Seven will play Feb. 2-4 and Minbo, or the Gentle Art of Japanese Extortion, a Japanese movie with English subtitles will be shown Feb. 9-11. Minbo is a film about the Japanese Mafia and will add variety to SU's feature presentations.

But the Philomathesian Society, promotes awareness of the arts and humanities forums, their publication, The and a film series. The film committee works to provide ms that are different from the main"It's not that the mainstream films are -they're not at all.

The Philomathesians often choose films that fall into one of three categories: foreign, old and artistic films. However, this is not always the case. Senior Jason Bennett, a member of the film committee, said, "We usually go by whatever the group is into at the time. We try to offer a wide variety of films, not just intellectual or foreign films but films that are different from what the students have seen and yet ones that would still interest them." Anticipated student body interest is taken into account by the film committee to make programming decisions. But the personal interests of the committee members help the committee to make decisions about what specific films to show. For instance, one member had a great interest in Paul Newman and as the society was looking for a classic film to show, they decided on Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Though the final decision is made by the committee, everyone's interests are considered. One way to assess this interest is to look at the films that draw the biggest crowds. When the Philomathesians showed the Star Wars series last fall, it was an unusual ___________ - - - - .. ----- _, --- ·--- choice. Usually they show less well-known films, and the response to this perennial favorite was overwhelming. They were amazed not only at the number of people who attended but also at how much people knew about the Star Wars series. "It's not that the mainstream films are bad - they're not at all. We just want to show something that is different, something that the students wouldn't get a chance to see otherwise." Kristina Hemphill Co-chairwoman. Philomatht!sian film committee Another film series that was extremely popular was Krzysztof Kieslowski' s three films, Blue, White and Red. Jude Stewart, a senior and a co-chairwoman of the film committee, said, "These films are visually S!unning. We got a big response from them because of their recent release but also because they are beautiful movies. "The director has a strong eye and really brought out the diversity of the series. They ----- all worked together and really have a lot to offer, especially bringing in the strong French art tradition." Red is the only tllm in the series that has not yet been shown. But because of the response for the other two, it will definitely be on the film series' lineup in the future. Crowd size isn't the only factor that determines whether or not a film is well received. The films shown often provoke much discussion, and this is a major criterion as well. In fact, after some films the committee sets up formal discussion groups and occasionally even brings in a guest speaker. These guest speakers have not been as prevalent lately because the Philomathesians' energy been directed toward other areas. But that hasn't stopped discussion among the students. l!ldeed, informal discussion based on the films quite often breaks out among the students who have viewed them. Stewart said this discussion is a goqd tool for the committee to use in order to determine the success of the films with their audiences. "We tend to have some of the same people attending the films so l will often talk to them afterwards to see what they thought," Stewart said. Just as many of the committee members have_ certain preferences for movies or actors, so does their audience. · Some people will approach the committee with films that they would like to have shown. This was the case with Raise the Red Lantern, which was shown two weeks ago. The society has also shown a few controversial films that address current issues as well. Last year, it showed Roger and Me, a documentary about a General Motors plant that closed down in Flint, Mich. Another set of controversial films is coming up this weekend. These films, Hollywood Shuffle and Shajt, have been termed "blaxploitation.'' They deal with black issues using black actors. Some profess these films to be ground-breaking and part of the reason for showing them is to delve into the issues they are addressing and evaluate whether or not they really are. A speaker may help foster the discussion and address the issues shown in the films. The discussions will probably revolve around race, how it is portrayed in film,and how it is perceived in film. It is these kinds of issues and the _discussion they spark that the film committee strives to promote. suchanex1 that one w great, OnC< have been Greensbor mediocre.

Birch came to Winston-Salem to help fourth, fifth and sixth graders in Forsyth County public schools create works of art which will be exhibited throughout the city in upcoming months. By bringing together mtisls and the people of Winston-Salem. SECCA created the Artists in the Commtmity project to draw foe us to all aspects of life in the city. Birch· s trip to Winston has resulted in a series of placards created by the elcmenwry students that will be placed on Winston-Salem bu'ses for a period of three months beginning in December. In addition. Birch has put together an exhibit ofhis work which is currently on display at SECCA. This compilation of reccnl compositions "gives unique and valuable insights into the experiences of the artist. as well as illustrating his hopes and fears for the rest of the world. On display at· SECCA arc both acrylic paintings by Birch as well as mixcu media sculplllre. They are unilicd through one common theme: identity.

The Demon Deacons' out-of-conference schedule is much more demanding, with big road tests coming early in the season against Oklahoma State (in the Great 8 Tournament in Auburn Hills, Mich.), Massachusetts and Florida.

Are you sure? A burn finger, a blown anterior cruciate ligament, a stress fracture and a pesky osteochondral defect of the femoral condyle of the knee are not the ingredients of a winning women's basketball team, but knock on wood, things will be different for the 1995-96 version of the team. Head Coach Karen Freeman said that her team is ready to challenge in the tough ACC. One of the major reasons for her optimism stems from the fact that when she scans her team roster, she sees nothing but fit players. The last two years, the Demon Deacons have not had the chance to maximize their talent because of major injuries to key players. Freeman said that most of those injuries were a product of being very young, noting thut many underclassmen were injured because their bodies were not ready for the physical nature of college basketball at the top level. If everyone stays healthy, Freeman said that she expects to use I 0 players in her rotation. Of those I0 players, most of the attention will be on junior Tracy Connor. As a freshman in 1992-93, the 6-3 center broke through as one of the best post players in the league, earning honors such as ACC Freshman of the Year and the Wake Forest University Outstanding Female Athlete. A stress fracture in her foot caused her to redshirt the 1993-94 season. Poised to make her comeback last season, Connor missed 14 games because of an unusual knee injury that will never let her be at full strength. Even when not at her best, Connor is still a feared opponent, as she averaged 16.4 points and nine rebounds in the 14 games she played in last sea- son. Freeman said that Connor's stats the key to a better season, could improve this year, provided the according to Freeman. Last season the Deacons knee does not swell. ''She'll never play pain free. The threw a combination of swelling is our enemy," Freeman said. junk defenses that more "You have to remember, when we often than not failed to asked her to play last season, she was impede opponents.

Freeman's team is predicted to finish where it wound up last year, seventh. Though Freeman is not surprised by such predictions, she is not ready to concede anything. "For me, (places) two to nine are wide open," she said. "We never have had an opportunity to showcase what we've got because of the injuries. This year we've got a key dominant post-player in Tracy. If we can improve our defense, I see no reason whywecan'tfinish in the top half and accomplish our goal of going to the NCAA Championships." The Deacons open their season with some tough non-conference opponents with the likes of Auburn, Washington and Northwestern. In December, the team will travel to Tucson, Ariz., to face Arizona and San Francisco. Freeman said the that tough competition in these games is needed if the Deacons are to be prepared for ACC competition.

La rue is French for "the street," but LaRue for the D¢mon Deacons could mea:n the best sixth man in college basketball and a trip to the Final Four. Senior Rusty LaRue is coming off yet another product(ve football season as the Demon Deacons' starting q~arterback just in time for the first Deacon basketball game against Mount Saint Mary's. His NCAA record of 55 completion!; in one game has brought LaRue national exposure, increased acknowledgment from professional scouts and a prime time clip on ESPN. LaRue savors the sp.otlightand looks forward to leading the powerful hoops squad to another tremendous season. . :_LaRue is the only senior on a young and powerful team with the retirement of senior Barry Canty, LaRue's good friend and classmate. LaRue lives for a challenge- fully expecting and capable of being a leader along with AllAmerican junior Tim Duncan. With the departure of ·Randolph Childress, '95, LaRue's enthusiastic and demanding work ethic will lead by example as he develops into the Deacons' clutch player. Many times last year LaRue was open for a threepointer to win the game, like he did against Richmond when he shot a game-winning three with under20 seconds left. But Childress was the dominating force, and he always took control. LaRue respected Childress and never challenged his role as a leader and clutch perfonner. Childress is gone and this is another year, LaRue's year. This is his tum to take the shot when the game is on the line, because. He is capableof making almost any shot on the basketball court. He can recall winning at least two games in high ·school with half court shots or longer, and he occasionally practices 30to 40-footj~;~mpshots, because, LaRue said, "You never know when you might need that shot in a game." LaRue's goal is to average double digits in points this year. He hopes to improve on his 1994-95 statistics of scoring double digits six times, with the pinnacle being a 17 point effort against Oklahoma State in the NCAA Tournament. The Deacons will need this kind of scoring and mark.srruin~like three-point shooting if they are to make it back to the Sweet 16 or further. LaRue is a career 41.3 percent three-point shooter, but he will look to shoot near 50 percent from downtown as he challenges for the top spot in the ACC. as LaRue said it best, "I've earned it." This year's team is a different one that is younger and looks for more balanced scoring than last year. LaRue would Jike to start but enjoys coming off the bench. Comparisons to the beloved Marc Blucas, '94, are inevitable, and LaRue feels honored to be considered in such a light. Just like Blucas, LaRue is tenacious, a solid defender with quick hands and a potent three point threat. But, LaRue adds, "I want to be more of a scorer." This is a typical response from a three sport legend with academic honors and a 3.2G.P.A. in his computer science major. He is the first ACC athlete in 42 years to participate in football, basketball and baseball during the same academic year. Despite the fact that LaRue professes, "I have 'no real role models," he has become a role model for ACC athletes and students. ]_>eral primed for breakthrough Rutland key to Deacon backcourt, .

Last season Peral hit at evince the defensive attributes that made Peral a valuable asset last year, as well as improve his scoring and rebounding production . Clearly, Pera!' s season last year Bv ALEX CoGSWELL ability to play under pressure. In ACC games, his field goal mark was lifted to 37 percent, and he was dynamite from downtown, hitting 45 percent of his three-point attempts. Rutland also showed his ability to provide a real spark for the Deacons when they needed it. He led a comeback victory against Clemson by scoring eight consecutive points and inspiring a furious second half rally. He delivered another clutch performance last season when he knocked down two free throws with seven seconds left to defeat Virginia in a crucial home victory. Coming into last season, there were questions about Rutland's abilities on the defensive end, and he proved his critics wrong by working hard and ending up second on the team in steals behind Childress. Rutland was phenomenal in theACCToumament, hittingeightof-18 three-point attempts and contributing greatly to the Deacons' success. He also won the ACC Rookie of the Week honor when he led the Deacons to a victory over Maryland by scoring 19 points, followed by a 12 point effort in a win over Georgia Tech. The two victories came in the midst of the Deacons' 12-game winning streak, resulting in the school's first ever NCAA No. I seed. Thjs season, Rutland finds himself in a familiar role. this time playing in Duncan's shadow. However, the weight rests upon his shoulders to create production in the backcourt, and to provide a suitable replacement for number 22. CoNrn••m•NGR•ro•'"" Sophomore Tony Rutland has always played in the of a superstar. Hailing from Hampton, Va.'s Bethel High School where he played alongside touted Georgetown sophomore Allen Iverson, and then playing his freshman campaign last season across the court from All-American point guard Randolph Childress, '95, Rutland now finds himself in a crucial position. In this, his .sophomore season, Rutland will be taking over the point guard role for the Demon Deacons, and will be expected to help relieve the pressure on pre-season ACC Player of the Year, junior Tim Duncan. Last season Rutland shared playing time in the · backcourt with sophomore Jerry Braswell, collecting 21.6 minutes per game. He started nine of the Deacons' games before mid-January, when Head Coach Dave Odom found him to be more efficient when coming offthe bench. He did eventually play in all32 games. Rutland played most of his minutes on the wing, but occasionally played back-up at the point in the rare moments when Childress was on the bench. For the season, Rutland shot only 32.5 percent from the field and 32 percent from three-point land, but redeemed himselfby connecting on over 81 percent of his free throws. He also proved to be a very streaky shooter, and his statistics in the conference show his sh~dow <: I will try to fill void left by Childress Old Gold and Black preseason picks ,. Peral's perimeter shooting touch is unique for a big-man. a rate of 60.5 percent from the floor, and was 12-of-35 (34.3 percent) from behind the three-point line. On the defensive side of the ball, the junior also seemed to come into his own under the basket as the season progressed, as he tallied nine of his 17 blocked shots in the final 12 games of the season. Thus. the Deacons this season will look for the junior to continue to was an exercise in steady improvement. The Deacons hope and expect that he will continue to develop in his encore season in the ACC. Should Peral indeed develop into a consistently important offensive threat, the sanity of opposing coaches will be strenuously tested, as the dilemmaofhow to contain both Duncan and Peral in the frontcom1 tests the boundaries of defensive strategy.

The key for Braswell now seems to be maintaining his high conversion rate while expanding his shot-taking and point production. Braswell's athletic gifts allowed him to fill a variety of niches for the Deacons. Playing at shooting guard, he is at once both powerful enough to penetrate off the dribble and quick enough to give defenders all kinds of problems. Similarly, on the defensive end, Braswell's strength has allowed him to guard players quite a bit bigger than himself, while he has retained the speed necessary to stay with smaller, faster guards. For junior Tim Duncan to again finish as the premier big man in the country, the Deacon backcourt will have to prove itself capable of both running a tightly-coordinated offensive ship and posting a generous share of the team's points. Braswell had been an important key to the Deacons' hopes this year. Now, Rutland has his work cut out for him if he hopes the Deacons' 199596 backcourt can begin to echo the standard Childress set last year.

At 6-8 and 230 pounds, junior Sean Allen is by far the strongest player on our basketball squad. Deacon fans have not seen much of Allen but have heard great things about him. A lot of weight will be placed on Allen's broad shoulders this year as he tries to fill the enormous shoes of one of the fans' favorite players last year in Banks. Allen transferred to the university last year to provide some quality backup at power forward for junior Ricky Peral and Banks. The addition of Allen into the lineup in no way depleted the Deacons' height and strength. Allen looked promising last year, scoring four points and grabbing five rebounds in 14 minutes in his first game as a Deacon against Florida State. He played briefly in the Deacons' next three games, despite showing noticeable signs in practice and games of extreme fatigue. He was diagnosed with mononucleosis in midJanuary and applied for a medical redshirt. He qualified, and has two years of eligibility left../.

Si~RIS Em loR A year ago, Steven Goolsby was the forgotten freshman on the Demon Deacon men's basketball team. As then-freshmen Tony Rutland and Jerry Braswell competed to see who would gamer the most minutes playing opposite Randolph Childress, '95, in the Demon Deacon backcourt, Goolsby spent most of the 1994-95 season on the bench. Now, with Childress practicing his trade in Portland with the NBA' s Trailblazers and Braswell academically suspended possibly for the entire season, the team will apparently need the sophomore to assume a more active role in determining the team's fate. If early-season indications are accurate, Rutland will likely get the starting nod at point guard for the Deacons. However, with Braswell gone, the shooting guard position (Goolsby's likely spot on the floor) becomes quite intriguing for the Deacons. In Braswell's absence, it is likely that Goolsby, if he can overcome the problems he had on the defensive end of the floor last season, will see a lot of playing time in the Demon Deacon backcourt along with freshman guard Joseph Amonett. The biggest question mark surround- on the way to completing his recovery ing Goolsby's play last year was his from the leg problem, Goolsby said that defensive intensity.

Quartet of freshmen look to shore up lean areas in Demon Deacon roster BY Scorr MAYNE CmnRJntrrJr·;Ci RII'()RIER After a stellar 1994-95 season which included an ACC Championship and an Associated Press final national ranking of three, the Demon Deacon basketball team has established a strong precedent for victory. The future of Deacon hoops, and the task of maintaining this newfound perennial basketball powerhouse, rests in the hands of the "future four"- this year's freshman class. To Head Coach Dave Odom, half of his recruiting this year was seemingly all a dream about Tennessee. His "Tennessee twosome" of Joseph Amonett, a 6-5 freshman from Byrdstown, Tenn., and Rodney West, a 6-10, 210-pound freshman from Oneida. Tenn., look to add both shooting ability and strength to the Deacon lineup. Amonett, who averaged 33.5 points per game as a senior for Pickett County High School, led his team to a 35-3 record and a Class A state championship last season. As a senior he was awarded Player of the Year honors in Tennessee by USA Today. Amonett is a versatile performer, combining an excellent jumper with the ability to be a defensive force. This Deacon freshman is the most likely of his class to contribute significantly to the team in his first season ateitherthe small forward or big guard position, but regardless ofhis immediate impact he wants to assist the team in seeking victory. ''I'm not sure what my role wiil be this year," Amonettsaid. "Ijustwanttocontribute any way possible, whether it be in practice or in games." West's ability to play effectively in the high post and his mental and physical toughness are factors that will help him play big in the ACC, although Odom's immediate plans are to redshirt him this season. His teammates are contributing to his progress. "I think working with the older guys will help me out a lot overall," West said. Although he was slowed by various physical ailments in his high school basketball career. West managed to average 18 points, 12 boards and five blocks per game in his senior season. At the conclusion of his high school career, he had amassed over 500 blocked shots, and he should prove to be a veritable force in the near Demon Deacon future. Probably the best pure athlete in the freshman class is William Stringfellow, a 6-8, 208pound freshman from Austin, Texas. "Strings," as he is known by his friends and invariably soon enough by the nation, presents the ACC with an explosive package of size, athleticism and quickness. "I'm a person who likes to go hard," Stringfellow said. "I like to rebound." The Deacon fans should look for Stringfellow to be a prolific rebounder and shot blocker, as he averaged 14 boards, seven swats and 18 points a game his senior year at Anderson High School. He has high expectations for the success of his team this season, and although his role has yet to be defined, he said. "My personal goal for the season is to play as hard as I possibly can." Rounding out the freshman class is Armond Wilson, a 6-2 point guard from Laurel. Miss.

Foremost among the proof ofheroffensive and defensive contributions to the team are her scoring and rebounding averages. In her 14 games last season, Connor averaged 16.4 points and nine rebounds a game. Though the numbers last year were a slight drop-off from her freshman season, they were nonetheless the highest averages on the team in both categories., During the stretch after her return, Connor Jed the team in scoring eight times and rebounds 10 times. Although enough scar tissue has formed in Connor's knee to provide it with some degree of cushioning, it is likely that the junior will not be able to play to tl:te level she established in the 1992-93 season. However, there seems little question that Connor is a remarkably valuable asset to the Demon Deacons, whether or not she plays at 100 percent. Clearly, a good deal' of the team's potential success this season hinges on Connor's right knee. If the junior can avoid the injury problems that have plagued her the past two years, the 1995-96 season could be a promising one for Deacon basketball.

Old G11/d ond Bhuk phuto Hollifield will be relied on to shoot from long range. Toughness and durability. These are two words that describe Gretchen Hollifield, one of only two seniors on this year's rebuilding women's basketball squad. She, along with senior Val Hodge, are the veteran players expected to provide the leadership to move a team full of expected healthy players into the next level of ACC play. Hollifield, 5-5, will run the point once again . Hopefully this season she will not have to put up with the demands of not having a backup and playing every minute but three in the games in which she played. Last season she bore the burden of being one of the few consistently healthy players on the team. What makes this impressive is that Hollifield missed the first six games of the season due to finger surgery, but did not miss another contest the rest of the year. Her 40.3 minutes per game average was more than agameagame. Hollifield did this by playing in two overtime games during the season. In addition, she did not miss one moment of conference play. The scrappy player's forte is her playmaking abilities. She averaged a school-record 7.0 assists per game last season, which put her first in the ACC and sixth in the nation. Hollifield will be the key to getting the ball inside to the leading scorers, juniors Tracy Connor and RaeAnna Mulholland. In a game against Canisius last season, Hollifield dished out 16 assists, breaking the Deacon record by four and tying for the highest number of assists in the NCAA all season. The reason that Hollifeld was last year's team's most valuable player was that she does more than just dish out assists. She averaged I 0.0 points per game as well. Most of these points came from behind the three point arc, where she hit 42 percent of her attempted shots. Against N.C. State last season, she recorded a career-high 23 points, plus added five rebounds, 10 assists and two steals. Hollifield is known as a hustler, and she justified this reputation last year, when despite her small stature she pulled down 3.5 rebounds per game and had 28 steals on the season. Ironically, the key to Hollifield's success this season is rest. She will be even more productive if she is not going into every game tired and knowing that she will not get a rest during the contest. While the rest of the players on the Demon Deacon women's basketball team have had the injury curse over the past two years, one player who has escaped unscathed has been senior Val Hodge. A 6-0 forward, Hodge has been a part of the starting lineup since her sophomore year. She has played almost every position along the way; but no matter where she plays, she is a! ways counted on to score. Last season Hodge averaged 11.7 points per game while pulling down an average of 5.5 rebounds. Hodge's strengths lie in her athletic ability and in her consistency, as well as in her veteran experience. Playing in the front court, Hodge has a very accurate shot from within 16 feet. She is a converted wing player who has started in every Demon Deacon game over the past two years. Last season, she set career highs in two areas. Both came when she scored 24 points and tallied 17 rebounds in a winning effort against Florida Atlantic. Hodge is also the type of player who is constantly improving and is able to mold into the role that she needs to play. Her freshman year she earned the Demon Deacons' Most Improved Award. While she is most comfortable shooting mid-range jumpers and playing outside the paint, Hodge has had to fill in for other injured Demon Deacons at the center, power forward and small forward positions. Some of Hodge's previous accomplishments include an all-tournament honor in the 1993 ODU-Dial Classic and a 70-point performance in a high school game. Before becoming a Demon Deacon, Hodge averaged 42.5 points per game in high school, was a USA Today All-American for being WestVirginia'sPlayerofthe Year, was named Gatorade Circle of Champions state Player of the Year and named a Street and Smith and Parade honorable mention All-American. What Hodge needs to contribute to .this year's team is more scoring punch combined with a continuing ability to stay healthy. Her previous credentials prove that she has the scoring touch and the accuracy to dominate from outside. She led the Deacons and was eighth in the ACC last year in field goal percentage, at 46 percent. If she can average a few more points per game, she will help the Demon Deacons to achieve their potential breakthrough season in the ACC. e MuJholland's offense a k for Deacons Bv LisA MARTIN N1:ws EoJToH ":·. lf .. : a n a 0 5, lf d ;-.. -- Mulholland demonstrates her soft shooting touch against Georgia Tech last season. In the Deacons' rather uninspiring, injuryplagued season last year, junior RaeAnna Mullholland was one ofthe bright spots. Picking up the slack left by injured junior Tracy Connor and starting every game last season, Mulholland was the top scorer, averaging 13.3 points per game, and the top rebounder with 8.1 per gam~c:. As last year's top offensive threat at power forward, Mulholland needs only to find consistency to become an All-ACC caliber player. She gained confidence and experience playing on a gold-medal team at the 1995 Olympic Sports Festival and promises to be a big contributor from the outside this year. As a freshman, Mulholland was an outstanding contributor. In her first game, she scored 16 points and had 13 rebounds. Her dynamic play continued when she was named Most Valuable Player of her first collegiate tournament, the ODU-Dial Classic. Although she missed six games due to a stress fracture her freshman year. she still averaged 12.4 points and 6.2 rebounds in 21 games. She was also the top Demon Deacon rebounder seven times over the course of her debut seasqn. A highlight of Mulholland's play last season was a 30-point, 20-rebound effort at Georgia Tech. She contributed statistically at North Carolina with 18 points, a team-high eight rebounds, four steals and three assists. For all games combined last season, she was ranked 13th in scoring and sixth in rebounding in the ACC. She led the Deacons in scoring seven times last season, and she was the top rebounder II times. Shooting 38 percent from the tloor and 32 percent from three-point range last season, Mulholland is likely to be more of a factor from the outside this season since the Deacons will be stronger in the paint. A tough competitor since her years at Pine Forest High School, the Linden native Mulholland was named to the first team all-state by the Greensboro News and Record, and the second team all-state by the Associated Press. She was a three-year MVP of her high school squad, and she set her school's single-game scoring record with 42 points against Cape Fear during her sophomore season. •i I ·---·-·-.-- ..- - - · - - - - - •.

Then imagine a season in which the Heels win their 23rd regular season ACC title. Either one could happen this season, as the loss of two eventual NBA lottery picks and the arrival of an exciting freshman class should make this year's UNC squad a fascinating study. Last year, the Tar Heels finished with a 28-6 record, 12-4 in the ACC, good enough for a share of a four-way tie for first place in the conference. Head Coach Dean Smith then guided his team to the ACC final, and then to the national semitinals, where they lost to Arkansas.

Barry, 6-5, averaged 13.4 points and 6.7 assists last year, and he gives the Jackets versatility in the backcourt both offensively and defensively. Also in the backcourt for Tech is freshman Gary Saunders, a 6-5 player who, like Marbury, is from New York City. In the frontcourt, the Jackets return sophomore forwards Matt Harpring and Michael Maddox. Harpring. who was named to the ACC-All Freshman team last season, averaged 12.1 points per game and impressed observers with his hustle and determination on the court. Maddox, a power forward at 6-8, 222 pounds, averaged 9 .I points while displaying both inside and perimeter potential as the Jackets sixth man. He should start this season. Eddie Elisma, a junior, will fill the center spot for the Jackets. He averaged 5.8 points and 5.0 rebounds last season, but his slender build is a disadvantage. Elisma led the Jackets in blocked shots and field goal percentage. Bucky Hodge, a 6-9 sophomore, will also be counted on for minutes in the front court. His size lends versatility to the Tech bench. . Freshman Juan Gaston, another wide body at 6-7, 235 pounds, is a top-70 prospect who should contribute. The Jackets have missed the last two NCAA Tournaments despite tremendous talent. This year, Harpring, Maddox and Marbury form a young nucleus that will have to carry the team.

What could possibly be the difference, you may be asking yourself, between last year's mediocre 13-18 squad and this year's team? The myriad of possibilities run through your head: Duke lost key front-court contributors Erik Meek and Cherokee Parks to the NBA, Assistant Coach Mike Brey and substitute Head Coach Pete Gaudet left the team, and so on and so forth. Yet there can be only one answer, one man and one attitude so vital to a team's success. That man so eternally valuable to the program is Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski, who was lost for a majority of last season due to back surgery. Krzyzewski. entering his 16th season at the helm of Duke basketball. is one of the great basketball minds of our time. With a career record of 358-127 at Duke, Krzyzewski began a tradition and has managed to maintain its stellar reputation throughout his stay.

Cun·ently, Langdon is recuperating from a stress reaction in his left leg which has kept him out of preseason action. Langdon is expected to be ready to play by the first regular season game. Price, a 6-6 silky-smooth swing-man, is expected to build upon his solid freshman year to be the Blue Devils' defense-penetrating weapon. The athletically-gifted Price averaged 8.1 points a game, pocketed 23 steals and pulled down the fourth most rebounds on the team last season in 14 starting assignments. Also figuring into the equation will be senior co-captain Chris Collins. Although often erratic and hot-headed, Collins is a legitimate scoring threat who possesses the ability to single-handedly influence a game with his long-range bombs. Collins enters this season sewnd on Duke's career list for three-pointers with 130. Further support in the backcourt will come from feisty sophomore Steve Wojciechowski. Wojciechowski is a tierce competitor on the court, especially defensively, and was second on the team in assists a year ago.

The Clemson Tigers return three starters, including ACC Freshman of the Year Greg Buckner.

Buckner would have been joined up front by Iker Iturbe, the Spaniard who startedatcenterfortheTigers · last year. But lturbe is out for the year, forcing the ·.. Tigers to play with freshmen in the front court. Six of Barnes' seven recruits will play up front.

Freshmen Patrick Garner, 69, and Harold Jamison, 6-8, are players who chose to stay instate to play for the Tigers. Both participatedintheConverseAllAmerica game. High school teammates Tony Christie and Andrius Jurkunas are ranked as top-1 00 recruits by analyst Bob Gibbons.
