Allied forces may havekilled 15 civilians in blastAfter bombing a Baghdad market place, alliedforces found that fifteen civilians had been killedon Wednesday.According to reports, Pentagon officials said

that the market was not the coalitions attacktarget.ln addition,the Pentagon noted that thedeaths of the civilians could actually be con—tributed to the lraqis themselves.On Wednesday, US. military officials were un-

sure ofwhat caused the fatalities and the dam-age,which included fallen buildings,and burntout ca rs.Officials reiterated that coalition forceswere not targeting the marketplace or any sitesaround it.Zambia suffers fromsevere floodsMore than 10,000 people in the hunger—strickenarea ofZambia are homeless after heavy rains de-stroyed crops and broke up bridges and hous—es, said reports.

According to reports, large maize fields, elec-tricity lines,te|ephone poles and roads had beendestroyed due to the rain.Zambia is one of the many countries across

southern Africa that is plagued with food short-ages, and due to the floods,the government has

. already begun supplying food relief to morethan 10,000 people in the area.According to reports, drought is also a con-

tributor to the food shortages.'NATION .. ., ._Smallpox vaccine mayrelate to heart problemsWhile they investigate a possible link betweenthe smallpox vaccine and heart problems, healthofficials are suggesting that people with heart dis-ease avoid the vaccine.While the smallpox vaccine has never been

linked to heart disease before, the warningcomes Tuesday after a woman in Maryland diedof a heart attack after being vaccinated. In ad~dition, six others got sick after receiving the vac—cine.

Officials reported that they are not certainwhether there actually is a connection betweenthe vaccine and heart disease, but the nationalvaccination program, in addition to preparingfor the possibility of a bio-terrorist attack, is look-iéig into the relationship.California awardedbillions after energy crisisOn Wednesday, US. energy regulators ended along-standing investigation of the California en—ergy crisis by awarding the state with $3.3 bil—lion worth of refunds. In addition,the regulatorsproposed to require the now bankrupt EnronCorp. to repay $500 million in unfair profits tothe state. ~The rulings mark the end ofa whirlwind of re-

“Let me tell you how it allstarted. I was the chubby girlin grade school. I was alwaysgetting picked on about howfat I was, and I never seemedto get much respect from any-one— even my friends.Then one summer before

7th grade, I lost some weight.During the first week ofschool, I got so much positivefeedback; the most popularguy in school even asked meout. This is when it all started.I figured that losing weightwould make me more popu—lar. I would count every calo-rie I ate and would make surethat I burned off every thingI ate, too. I would even go run-ning in the middle of thenight when my parents wereasleep so they wouldn’t no~tice.Every time I did not eat, I

would praise myself. It evenruined my sports life. Mycoach told me that I was too

eHer story Rfrail, and she cut me that sea-son. My parents finallystepped in and got me help.

I had to visit a psychiatristwho specializes in eating dis-orders and a dietitian once aweek, as well as visit the doc—tor to be weighed twice aweek. I remember drinking agallon of water before beingweighed so that I wouldn’t getyelled at for losing moreweight.But my mom told me her

story when she was 14 andweighed 65 pounds and had tobe hospitalized. She fell downthe stairs at her high schoolbecause she didn’t haveenough muscle mass to carryherself.That really scared me and I

finally gained some weightback when I realized what Iwas doing to myself. Thingsdied down for a few years.But about a year or two ago,

things started getting badagain.

It started again my senioryear, when I was dating a re—ally fit boyfriend. I always feltso chubby compared to him,and I felt like I had to be skin-ny so that I would be smallerthan him and be the cute, lit-tle girlfriend he wanted, eventhough I was by no meansoverweight. I started workingout for the first time and I losta lot ofweight. I actually wonthe award for Best LookingGirl in my graduating class, -and after that, I became ad-dicted to being fit.

I felt in control for a while,

and I began to take a lot ofin-terest in healthy eating andexercising regularly. But themore and more I concentrat-ed on food and myweight, themore I got into the bad habits.I felt like I was going to die ifI didn’t work out for one dayand I would not go out par~tying with my friends becauseI didn’t want to drink andgain weight. I would thinkabout what I was going to eatand when I was going to eatnext almost every second ofthe day.But I was skinny and fit, and

even my friends would tell mehow good I looked when I sawthem, which made me feel likeI had to keep it up even more.Towards the end of my

freshman year in college, I hadan episode in my dorm roomthat was kind of the turningpoint again.

I had just baked my room-mate a birthday cake, andeveryone was out for thenight. I wanted to have a bite,and then I ended up eatingher whole cake. Afterwards, Ifelt absolutely horrible.But episodes like that be-

came more and more routine.Over the summer, I was at

home a lot since I had a nightjob and my mom workedduring the day. Food andworking out were my life. Itwas like a vicious cycle. Everytime I ate, I couldn’t stop, andthen I had to go and work outto burn it all off. Then I wouldstarve myself for the rest ofthe day.

I actually ended up gettingpretty thin over the summer,but I was not happy at all. Iwas a nervous wreck; themore I starved myself, thehungrier I got and I bingedeven more. I would eat untilmy stomach hurt, and I couldbarely sit down, at whichpoint I would finally stop andcry because I felt so horrible.I would just wait until mystomach was empty enoughand I would go and workout.No one really ever noticed

I had a problem because Istayed right around the sameweight. And I never had abingeing episode around any-one else; I was good at hidingIt.

It kept getting 'worse andworse as I moved into my ownapartment at school. I start—ed eating both of my room-mates’ food. They would buyjunk food that I normallywouldn’t let myself buy, andI would end up eating all of itanyway. 'As soon as they left the

apartment, I would headstraight to the kitchen and eatwhatever I could. They eventried to hide their food in theirrooms, but I would go in thereand find it and eat it all any-way.

I felt so horrible for doingit, but I had no control overit. I just ate and ate and thencried because it hurt so much.But no matter how bad I felt,I would still force myself togo to the gym, even late at

The Legend of Zelda:The Wind WakerNintendo/ Gamecube****

RemyAdamsStaff Writer

The first “Legend of Zelda” game cameinto the world in 1987 as a shiny goldNintendo game cartridge. It had thosehigh—pitched Nintendo beeps for a mu-sical score and eight—bit graphics thatsucceeded in making the character lookmore like an amorphous pixelized blobthan a person; still, it was one of the ear—ly gaming epics.Sixteen years and 36 million copies of

various world—saving adventures later,the series is still going strong. The latestinstallment of the series, “The Legend ofZelda: The Wind Waker,” stands as a tes—tament to just how strong the series is.The graphics are amazing. When you

watch the game, it doesn’t feel so muchlike a 3-D adventure game as an inter—active cartoon. The character animationsflow smoothly, and the world seems to be

‘0.

teeming with life, even though it con—sists mostly of life that wants to some-how cause you severe bodily harm. Themain character animations run especiallynicely, almost never moving without nat-ural fluidity. His face has big, expressiveeyes, a little nose and a face‘designed withcountless expressions —— which is goodbecause the plot tries to pull your heartwith every cheap trick in the book. Thecinematic sequences are simple, but ef—fective, and they link the plot points ef—fectively and do a fair job ofkeeping youinterested. The main character, who is-n’t actually the original Link, also happensto be extremely short—winded; a godsendto the adventure gaming world that is soprone to long plot rants (“Metal GearSolid,” anyone?).The gameplay goes well, with a long

list of toys to help on the “near-impos-sible” path to saving the world. The tra-ditional sword and shield are there, aswell as bombs (with which to blow thingsup) and a slue of other items all ranginggreatly in their usefulness. Unlike theprevious “Zelda” games, “The WindWak—er” isn’t on a large landmass; it’s on along, beautiful and dangerous sea. Is-

lands are the main plot points of thegame, and there are enough ofthem ex-plore if you suddenly get sidetrackedfrom the main plot. There are a numberofthings to keep you occupied while sail-ing across the great sea as well — frommonsters to treasure, there is much tokeep the journey interesting. The onedisadvantage to this is that travel can of—ten take a long time, and after a while, itseems rather tedious — but not so te—dious that it detracts from the game.Plot is another quality that “The Wind

Waker” has over its predecessors, for ithas a very cohesive, strong plot. Through-out the game, every cheap trick— froma poor, old man needing help to a vil~lage in peril— is used to twist your heartinto world—saving submission. The pack—aging of the islands and the entertain—ing boat rides make the plot flow seam—lessly. 'Combat works well in the game but

has the disadvantage of seeming morelike a distraction from the puzzles thana necessity. The downfall of many float-ing camera adVenture games is avertedthough, with a free—motion camera thatallows you to move your perspective on

the world around; no more cameras get-ting stuck on the wall in a critical mo-ment.The controls do hurt the game, though.

They’re marginally intuitive but notenough to make up for how cumber-some they can be. Often times, you’ll findyourself swinging a camera when youneed to be throwing a boomerang orshooting a ledge with an arrow that youmeant to hit with a grappling hook. Theitem system could also use some work—— having to pause every 10 seconds tochange out gear gets to be tedious.The graphics take a little getting used

to, as well, because of their cartooney el—ements, but once you get over that, you’llstare in awe at how amazing they reallyare. The puzzles can be immensely dif-ficult, with little to no hope of quicklysolving them.Overall, the game is strong — so

strong, in fact, that its faults are negligi—ble in comparison to its strengths. Withits wonderful plot, beautiful game en—gine and effective combat system, “TheLegend of Zelda: The Wind Waker” isone of the best games to grace the Game—Cube.

In five days, those dashing devils of De-troit, TheWhite Stripes, will release “Ele-phant,” perhaps the most highly antici-pated record of early.2003. The antici-pation of the latest outing from TheStripes— the guitar and drums, raucousand visceral duet of the fashionably in—famous former man and wife Jack andMegWhite —— is so high, in fact, that thebands label (New York-based V2Records) opted to mail only 500 vinyl

7, copies in advance to major national pressoutlets. Those magazines and radio sta-tions could have given a damn about Jackand Meg White only one—and-a—halfyears ago.But this time around, the demand for

the record was so high that, not long af-ter the record arrived in the boxes of theRolling Stones and New Music Expressof the world, the album hit the Internet.Fans scrambled to download it. Withinhours, if you wanted it, you had it. In aattempt to salvage album sales, V2pushed the album up a week to April 1.So, how exactly has a fantastic band

with three absolutely genius albums pre—. viously in their favor that virtually noone cared about two years ago sudden-ly become the cat’s meow of music fansin England and America? Well, baby, it’sbecause the Stripes like a remarkablenumber of bands and rappers recently

rock it old school. And, “10’ and behold,lo’ and behold,” they do it brilliantly.

It’s hard to say when it started exactly.One would like to point to The Strokes,who ———- not long ago —— exploded ontothe national scene from the Lower EastSide with fresh—faced naiveté, a much-heralded debut record “Is This It?” andQrumpets pronouncing these five richkids as the second coming blowing mad-

ly. Perhaps that was the starting point.Or perhaps it was the return to rock

that swept over college campuses dur—ing the years that led to The Strokes’ as-cension. Diluted emo, punk and hard-core became the rage. Maybe TheStrokes, like nearly every rock bandwhose moniker is now a householdname, simply borrowed from and builton atrend that was already beginning tocatch on. Maybe “Is This It?” was itbut at just the right time.Either way, retro music is here, and it

looks like it may be here for a good while.Middle school kids are wearing CBGBshirts to class. Rock stars seem to bespouting offThe Ramones as an influencemore and more, and Spin recently vot-ed those seminal punk boys as the secondbest band of all time, ousting Led Zep—pelin from its customary spot alongsidethe as-yet undisputed Beatles. And intheir perpetual conquest to find a trendand squeeze every bit of blood or hairgrease from it, the magazine named TheStrokes the Band of 2002.After proclaiming that The Strokes

were “heralding a new era of sexy, coolrock ‘n’ roll” in a centerpiece article, thebands’ guitarist connected the dots ofcurrent rock nostalgia for journalist MarcSpitz, complaining, “The White Stripesare the Band of the Year.”But Spin tried its best to connect the

dots of its own accord in that January2003 issue. The Warlocks— inspired byThe Sonics and Sonic Youth alike — werethere in the “Bands to Watch” sectionalongside the garage—rock-meets—CCRpsych—punk band, The Greenhornes.What about the magazine’s best—of list,

one asks? There’s Bright Eyes, who wantsto Bob Dylan. The Soundtrack of Ourlives — for a good analogy, insert thename of a classic rock band here. Samegoes for Interpolzand The Hives. And, in

saving rock ‘n’ roll?

the surprise shot of the markedly dis-graceful list, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! get

” recognition for their self-titled, five~trackEP in Spin’s little tribute to the revitalized,newly marketable New York, UnitedStates of America sound.And Spin isn’t alone. CMJ New Music

Monthly covers the exploits of Interpol,The Libertines, The Liars and the ilk likeFox News covers the war in Iraq— witha gung—ho passion and sincere, if some-‘what bothersome, zeal. Spin, Mojo,Rolling Stone, New Music Express andthe like aren’t alone in their laudation.The French Kicks, The Agenda, The

Mooney Suzuki, The Walkmen, TheBlack Keys, The Casanovas, The Sights,The Kills, The D-4 and a whole host of“The” bands are all the hype, and fansare eating it up —— in clubs and, to an in—creasing extent, in record stores.Even in Raleigh, dirty-blues-meets-

heavy punk bands are quickly becomingthe thing to watch. Go to Kings Barcade.See The Weather or The Loners. Checkout the Dynamite Brothers. Bands arestarting to become bands again. Recordcompanies are hustling and bustling tosign the next “new” big'thing that soundslike the great “old” thing that happenedno less than a decade ago. V2 — whoboasts The Datsuns, The White Stripes,Burning Brides and Elbow are be—coming something of a paradigm. RCAhas signed the utterly amazing Kings ofLeon to try to get some of the action,and publicists now describe some excit-ing new bands to a journalist as a “totalrock ‘n’ roll band” as if that is such a newand daring concept.

Hell, you can’t blame them. For a while,rock did get lost. The question remains,though: are these bands saving it? Whatdoes the onslaught of largely fantasticmusic beckoning back to the days ofana—log recording and the cutting-room floor

actually mean? Why now? Why at all?The answer to all four questions seems

to lie where the answer to nearly every-thing else involving music may be foundthese days: business. Following the popexplosion and the dissemination of adul—terated, lightweight records in nearlyevery genre that has occurred over thelast five years, the current state of rock re—vivalism seems as much a backlash asanything else. It’s a common cycle. Sellenough of anything and people willprotest with something else that they in-sist is straight from the underground.The sounds of AC/DC (see The

Casanovas), Led Zeppelin (see the Dat-suns), Leadbelly (see The White Stripes),Joy Division (see Interpol), Television(see Interpol) and The Smiths (see In-terpol) are familiar to casual music fansand record store nerds alike. They’recomfortable sounds, and that’s why we’vereturned to them at such an astonishingrate and volume.

It may be here to stay for a while. Ormost of you may be pumping the tech-no again tomorrow. The rock music be-ing made right now isn’t saving rock ‘n’roll. It’s just reminding some of us whatrock n’ roll meant in the first place ——-Chuck Berry howling at the moon with“Roll Over Beethoven” or laughing with“My Ding—a—Ling” and The Ramones be—ing as unrestrained and Sweat-drenchedas anyone while doing something thathas since redefined entire generations.But we can all hope that maybe the

current slate of artists will arouse somedeep-seated feeling in the 14—year—oldkid that will save rock ‘n’ roll in 15 yearswith six strings and some inventive tech-nique that everyone else will wish they hadknown.Just remember that, in the words of

one of the great ones, “Rock and roll cannever die.”

TECHNICIAN’S VIEW

Troops need

apolitical supportAs opposition to military action in Iraqdevelops alongside the United States’military designs, Americans and NorthCarolinians should show support for oursoldiers in the Middle East. Regardlessof one’s beliefs about the war, it is im-portant to show the people dying on thefrontlines that the people at home sup-port them. However, showing supportfor our soldiers does not necessitate or im—ply a support for the military action onthe whole. 2North Carolina is home to two large

military bases—Camp Lejeune in Jack-sonville and Fort Bragg in Fayetteville,and also home to many heartsick wivesand family members. Already 10 soldiersbased out of Ft. Bragg have been killed inthe conflict. The communities, businessesand families in these towns must go onwhile the soldiers fight abroad. The leastwe, back in the comfort of our homes, ourhometowns and our home state, can dois to show support for the soldiers eighthours and thousands of miles away.We know that the United States must

have a military. We know that this mili—tary requires brave soldiers to staff it. Re-gardless ofwhy the soldiers who are nowin the Middle East joined the armedforces, they are simply doing their job.They are entrusted with the duty of pro-tecting freedom at home and abroad.Aim criticism, if it is justified, not at thesoldiers themselves, but at the govern-

ment and military officials who decidewhen, where and how freedom shall beprotected.

If criticism of this conflict is to bemade, it should be of the ranking offi-cials who may or may not be playing po—litical war games with enlisted men. Weeach have our roles in society. Our sol—diers are doing their jobs, fulfilling theirroles. We can only thank them for this.As with every military conflict in which

the United States is involved, signs stat—ing “We support our troops. Bring themhome,” are seen held high at anti—warprotests and military base gatherings.This message, however, is a useless one.Our country is locked into violent com—bat, and American soldiers will not becoming home anytime soon. As a result, 'we can only hope that the U.S. militarycan accomplish its goals of regime changeresulting in the rebuilding of Iraq as soonas possible so that the soldiers then canreturn home.Were American troops to come home

now, were the United States to pull outof Iraq at this point in time, those whohave died already would have died invain. The US military and Bush Ad—ministration must do what it takes tofinish the job of stabilizing Iraq but musttake only as much time as necessary. Un—til that time, we say, “We support ourtroops. Bring them home when their jobis done.”

A hard fight against resistanceResistancein Iraq,thought at once bymilitary plannersan oxymoron, hasproven to be bothfrequent and dif—ficult. There mightbe a lesson in ouroverconfidencethat the enemy

Andrew would drop theirDugan weapons and sur-Stafi‘Columnist render willingly to

American andBritish forces, but it is a lesson to exam-ine another day. Meanwhile, the fight—ing continues.In Umm Qasr and Basra, the unex—

pected surge of resistance resulted in theinability ofAmerican troops to take firmand unequivocal control of the towns,causing a grave humanitarian crisis. Pres-ident Bush had promised Basra massiveassistance to its hurting population with—in 36 hours, but the time expired and thepromise remains unfulfilled. Accordingto the Red Cross, 40 percent of the city’sresidents cannot get regular access todrinking water, and it is quite plausiblethat many could die from thirst.“We have children, babies —— we are all

so thirsty,” one man in Basra was quot-ed as saying. “Already we are suffering.And we don’t know what will happentomorrow, the day after tomorrOw.”

It is crises like these, though not donepurposely by the United States, that makesome wonder howAmerican troops willbe perceived once they successfully takecontrol of Iraq. America and its inhabi-tants may View themselves proudly asliberators and heroes, but the image is—n’t translating so well into Arabic.“Bush is cursed,” screamed one Iraqi

citizen, who then paused and added theIraqis would one day get some sort ofrevenge. Journalists have also reportedcitizens keeping pictures ofSaddam Hus—

sein — their now cursed ruler —— close byand vowing to fire on any American orBritish soldiers at which they can get ashot.Earlier today, I was listening to a pan—

el of experts on NPR, trying to under-stand why there haven’t been moreecstatic Iraqis celebrating their newfoundfreedom. British Prime Minister TonyBlair, who wasn’t on the actual show but——unsurprisingly had been asked thesame question in a press conference,fielded the question first.Blair insisted residual fear on the part

the invader seems to be. The stakes are dif-ferent than1n the Gulf War, which per-haps could be renamed, “Operation:Kuwaiti Freedom,” to be like its loftysounding descendant. The prize in thiswar is not the country of Kuwait, a landforeign to both sides of the conflict, butIraq a land that means a lot more tothe Iraqi troops and citizens than coali-tion forces. This is their home.Elsewhere, the “coalition of the will—

ing,” which comprises of some 40 na—tions (six of which have absolutely noarmy whatsoever), mysteriously and in-

of still unconvincedIraqis was the rea—son citizens were I think America’s goals are

explicably lost thenation of Angola.The country was

still unsure that W8” known and removed from theAmerica and . bl list abruptly by theBritain had invaded unquestIOI’l Cl e' White House, whothe country withthe full intention to topple Hussein andgive the country back to the people.Fear’s a fine explanation, I suppose,

but I wonder if that can truly be consid—ered the exclusive and full reason. TheIraqis may not be privy to the same un-censored media Americans are, but itseems unlikely they haven’t heard aboutthe objectives America has been es-pousing for months now. I don’t mean tospeak for the Iraqis, but I think our goalsare well known and unquestionable.Even in the towns our troops have tak-

en over, the celebrations once forecastedhave been quite minimal. Things canonly get worse and more deadly as troopsget ever closer to Baghdad, where thebulk of Hussein’s forces are waiting forthem, including the well—trained Re-publican Guard.But the motivation driving these gueril-

la warriors and preventing “liberated”Iraqis from taking their voice to thestreets may not indeed be fear. No coun-try has ever looked too favorably on in—vasion by another, particularly a morepowerful country, no matter howbenign

has yet to com-ment on the bizarre happening. In a de—lightful turn of events, however, thenation of Morocco expressed interest inbecoming a member of this eclectic col—lection of nations by promising Ameri—ca an army of 2,000 monkeys that couldhelp detect Iraqi land mines. Their sta—tus is still pending.To clarify just howimportant this coali—

tion— which America has hastilybuiltafter the failure at the United Nations—is, let me throw out a few numbers. Themilitary budget of all the members com~bined, save America and Britain, is $25billion a year. This sum is less than howmuch Britain spends on its small but welltrained military, and it is but a tenth ofwhat the United States spends. Also onlyabout six of the willing nations are pro-

, viding any military support, a stark con—trast to the 34 nations providing suchsupport in 1991.

Tampa BayThe world’s fresh-water supply isquickly dwindling.There are manypeople who don’trealize this — ormay not care.However, with thesevere droughtconditions that

HOHY occurred this pastBezant summer right hereStaff Columnist in Raleigh, We

should all careabout where our future water is going to’come from.A United Nations analysis report ofthe

world’s water supply suggests that currentavailable water will decline by one—thirdin the next 20 years. Ninety—seven percentofwater on this Earth is salty. That leavesonly three percent as freshwater, 80 per-cent of which is frozen in polar ice capsand glaciers.Tampa Bay, Fla., is on its way to com-

bating this water problem by tappinginto the vast ocean water supply. The na-tion’s first desalination plant is provid-ing the water, with an initial output ofabout eight to 12 million gallons per day.By mid-April, the plant expects to beproducing 25 million gallons of water aday —— 10 percent of the area’s drinkingsupply.This is a great move toward a worldwide

solution to the imminent water crisis. Infact, there are actually 13,600 desalinationplants worldwide. So why is the watersupply still threatened? These thousandsof plants only turn out 6.8 billion gal—ions of water a day. With over 6 billionpeople in the world, one can imaginehow much water is needed every day tofill those needs.In fact, there are several unfulfilled

needs. In 2000, 1.1 billion people in the

world had no access to clean water, andthat number is estimated to rise to 4 bil—lion very soon. However, in America, itis estimated one person uses an averageof 50 gallons a day. Of this amount, ap-proximately 40 percent is used for flush—ing, 32 percent for bathing, 14 percentfor laundry and three percent for otherthings like brushing teeth and shaving.Desalination is pretty expensive — it

costs $110 million to build the plant ——and spurs other environmental issues.However, Tampa Bay has a few thingsgoing for them. The Southwest Florida

has freshwater solution10 residents, who started the programSave Our Bays, Air and Canals, form thefirst one. They fought to have the per-mits to the plant denied and even suedFlorida Department of EnvironmentalProtection to contest the permit that thestate issued for the plant. They lost, ofcourse, but are still monitoring envi—ronmental effects the plant may have. Iam sure they will be very nit—picky withthat monitoring also.The other two groups are responding

in the mature, right way. The AudubonSociety and Sierra Club acknowledge

Water Manage-ment District gaveTampa Bay $85million, and theplant is being runon the 44 million

Desalination is prettyexpensive and spurs otherenvironmental issues.

they have not seenany data thatshows the plant tobe harming the en—vironment and arewaiting for the re-sults from a moni-gallons of water

that the local power plant uses every day.Plus, costs for desalination are dropping,now at $2 per 1,000 gallons, which CNNsays is far below industry standards.The fact that the costs are going down

is great. I also love that researchers inFlorida are finding an efficient solutionto the declining water supply problem. Ifall other cities did the same, then desali—nation would become more efficient asthe program grows.One problem is the way the ocean wa-

ter is desalinated. The water undergoesreverse osmosis, and out of the original44 million gallons, only 25 million arefresh. The other 19 million gallons arebrine. What should sway some peoples’opinions of this byproduct is that a studywas performed, and the results show nolong-term increases in salinity in the areait is dumped. The brine is put into thecanal in which the power plant has itscooling water for dilution.There are three environmental groups

Let students eat in peaceMy letter is concerned with the smallprotest that occurred in the BrickyardTuesday at approximately 12:40 pm. AsI was eating lunch and studying for atest, a young man seated at the picnic ta-bles began yelling, “Hey, Hey, y’all, lis-ten up!” He then proceeded to yellvarious anti-war remarks, most of whichwere met with loud jeering from other

students who were trying to enjoy a nice,quiet lunch.Regardless of the content of his re-

marks, this individual’s freedom to standup in public and loudly express his viewsis well within his rights and certainly inthe spirit of this nation. However, thereare other means of communicating suchopinions without screaming at peoplein the manner ofthe infamous “Brickyard

toring program currently beingconducted.As an environmentalist, I am ecstatic

that desalination plants are now in me—dia eyes. If they get more publicity, es—pecially on how efficient the output andthe costs are, Tampa Bay will no doubt befollowed. As the second groups are doing,we can only wait and see if there are anynegative effects. In this situation, however,it is necessary to recognize the level towhich we would allow those impacts onthe environment. If those effects are mi-nor, environmentalists must choosewhether they want a longer—lasting wa—ter supply or to keep an environment“pure” that will be polluted in some man-ner regardless.

$23 injusticeThe enforcementof rules in ama-teur athleticsthese days is ab-solutely absurd.We’ve known thisfor a long time,

an event comesup to reestablish

Steve the fact.Thompson Further proof

came Tuesday,when it was announced that Earl Car—son, a high-school basketball coach inTexas, was losing his job because he madea deal with his players that amounted tothe collective team getting $23 for ex—erting more defensive effort duringgames.You heard me correctly — a coach of

17 years is losing his job because of $23— spread among five or six players. It’snot even enough money to buy everyonea Big Mac, yet Carson is out of a job.Early in the season, Carson thought

his team wasn’t trying hard enough ondefense. So he implemented a rule thatevery time a player took a charge, he’d paythem a dollar.Well, the team turned things around

and made the state playoffs, drawing (byCarson’s estimations) about 23 charges.But, a high school coach can’t pay play-ers. Not even a lousy dollar.Now, I know there are rules, and the let—

ter of the law says that a violation oc-curred and therefore there must be pun-ishment. Carson’s even accepting his fate,saying, “I did the crime; I need to do thetime.”But in a time where Lebron James —

who is still an amateur for the nextmonth or so —— can get a loan for aHummer H2 on the basis of his basket-ball talents, having a coach lose his jobover an innocent $23 is just ridiculous.

It really shows the hypocrisy and dou—ble standards that exist within amateurathletics. It’s even worse on a college lev-el.College athletes today are exploited on

every level. They provide 3 tproduct andeveryone else gets paid: NCAA admin-istrators, athletic directors, coaches, med-ical staff, secretaries, media relationsworkers, sports writers and so on. To re-main an amateur, however, these ath-letes can’t see a dime of the action.

Yes, the athletes do get a free educa-tion, books, clothes and meal money,but that doesn’t come close to what theNCAA gets by exploiting these athletes.Just to cover the NCAA men’s basket-ball tournament, CBS paid the NCAA$6 billion for an ll-year contract.Yet Earl Carson can’t give his players a

measly $23.Granted, if the NCAA compensated

its players, they would no longer be am-ateurs. Still, instances like this just high—light the hypocrisy that is inherent inamateur athletics today.In addition to raking in a lot of mon—

ey, the regulating bodies of amateur ath-letics also set picky rules “to maintainthe integrity of the amateur game.” Allthese rules serve to do is screw athleteseven more. .Tramain Hall and NC. State support—

ers know that all too well, as Hall is onlynow seeing his first Wolfpack springpractices after the NCAA screwed him outof two years of eligibility on a techni~cality. The NCAA even tried to suspenda few North Carolina basketball playersfor simply playing in a charity basket-ball tournament.Punishing amateurs over technicali-

ties and firing coaches for chump changejust shows how out of touch amateurathletics is. Instead of celebrating thepurity of the sport, administrators bogdown and over regulate the amateurs todeath.At the amateur level, it’s still supposed

to just be a game. But it’s not fun any-more.The letter of the law is being enforced,

The N. C. State football coach has spent thefirst week ofspring practice tinkering the depthchart, welcoming newcomers and enjoying hisnew surroundings.

Andrew B. CarterAssistant Sports Editor

When NC. State football coach Chuck Amato startstalking about taking a pulsating shower with his re-'mote-controlled drapes open, it can only mean a fewthings. One, Amato likes exposing himself. Two, thecoach relishes in toying with his new plaything astate—of-the-art cathedral of an operations building.And three, the flamboyant Italian has had enough hi—bernation.Amato exposed himself on Wednesday afternoon, all

right, getting to the naked truth about his high expec—tations for his team, which began practice Mar. 19. Healso gave a brief description of the Wolfpack’s ultra—modern football center— complete with remote-con-trolled window dressings and massaging showers —in which the final details are being completed. The

coach saved most of his breath, though, to preach aboutspring practice —— a ritual that has been anticipatedever since the Pack walloped Notre Dame on Jan. 1,2003.But as impressive as last season was, Amato would

rather eat cheap, imitation lasagna than think about itany longer. '“We had a great year last year,” Amato said to a dozen

or so reporters gathered in the A.E. Finley Fieldhouse.“But stop writing about it. It’s over. The biggest thingthat can hurt success is complacency. We’re not goingto win any games this year because we did good thispast year.

“If our kids are complacent and I think I have a wayof getting through that —— we’ll get our fannies waxed.”For the time being, Amato would like to see the fan-

ny—waxing occur among his team on State’s new prac-tice fields, which lie across the street from Carter-Fin-ley Stadium. More than ever before, competition in aWolfpack practice is at a premium. State’s current depthchart, for instance, lists the super—speedy Tramain Hallas the fourth flanker. Another playmaker, Richard Wash-ington, is buried three-deep at split end. And accord-

for four starting spots. Talk about quality depth.“We’ve got people moving all over,’’Amato said of

his defensive line. “On the first team right now, we’vegot Mario [Williams] and Chip Cross at the ends, andSheldon Lewin and Alan Halloway at the tackles.”

If that lineup were to stay intact until next fall —don’t count on it —— it would mean that the Pack’s de—fensive line, one of its biggest concerns entering theseason, would be anchored by two seniors in the mid-dle and youth on the outside.And what about Hall and Washington, the highly

lauded tandem of playmakers?“What we’re doing with Tramain, is we’re trying to

teach him two positions, [wide receiver and runningback] ,” said Amato. “But by trying to teach him twopositions, are we doing him justice? He needs to learnone position, let alone two. We know what we can dowith him1n the g" me.”Amato’5 voice pf’ ed with excitement as he described

the nightmarish potential of a game plan with Hall,Washington and another receiver— Jerricho Cotchery,for instance— on the field at the same time. With sucha lineup, Hall could take position in the backfield along-side T..A McLendon, where he could be utilized as aback or a receiver.Don’t forget about AJ Davis, either. Amato spoke

highly ofhis prized recruit from a year ago, who was red-shirted after breaking his leg last spring. Davis, who’scurrently second on the depth chart at left corner, hasalso been seeing some offensive action during springworkouts. Amato said that he wanted the freshman totouch the ball as much as possible.“I’m greedy,” said the coach. “I just want an unfair

advantage.”An even stronger candidate forttwo-way play is ris-

ing junior Dovonte Edwards, w 0 has spent his firsttwo years in red and white catching balls from PhilipRivers. Edwards will see a lot of actiq? this spring work—ing at cornerback.“’Were going to go through spring and see what that’s

like,” said Amato. “He really looks like a natural there.He has great ball skills, and knows how to catch it at thehighest point without even being told to do that.”Amato didn’t seem too concerned with the off—sea—

son coaching losses of former offensive coordinatorMarty Galbraith, who took a job with the NFL’s ArizonaCardinals, or former quarterbackilcoach Mike Canales,who left Raleigh for the same position with the NewYorkJets.Curt Cignetti has since taken over as quarterbacks
