The News' Briefs Charges against cemetery owner dismissed

HAMILTON, Ohio-A judge on Monday cleared a cemetery operator of char- ges that he cheated cus- tomers by failing to provide grave markers, mausoleum vaults and services that had been pre-paid.

Butler County Common Pleas Judge George H. El- liott, without comment, de- clared Larry Johnson inno- cent on IS charges accusing him of engaging in a pattern of corrupt conduct, theft and engaging in retail sales after his vendor's license had been suspended.

Elliott on Friday granted a defense motion acquitting Johnson of 11 other charges concerning operations at his Butler County Memorial Park near Trenton. The cemetery is scheduled to be sold in a sherif fs sale next month.

Johnson, 50, of Perrys- burg, is under indictment in Shelby County, where he faces 21 felony counts re- lated to alleged cemetery mismanagement. He is scheduled for trial there Jan. 23.

Johnson is appealing his conviction and 30-day jail sentence in Darke County for failure to register a cemetery.

Sheriffs detectives had accused Johnson, as owner of Butler County Memorial Park, of accept ing pay- ments for crypts in a mau- soleum that was never built and for grave markers that were never delivered.

In a trial that lasted four days, defense attorneys ar- gued that Johnson's offense, if any, was breach of contract - a matter for potential civil litigation, not criminal prosecution.

Johnson testified Friday that financial difficulties prevented the cemetery near Trenton from making good on contracts.

Prosecution witnesses acknowledged Johnson was not present for any of the sales, but Assistant Pros- ecutor Patrick Moeller ar- gued that his absence did not clear him of responsibil- ity.

Coasters singer releases album

ALLIANCE, Ohio -- Carl Gardner believes music from an earlier era can hit the right note with today's youth.

Gardner was the original lead singer with the Coas- ters, a group known for its humorous songs in the late 1950s and 1960s. The Coas- ters, the first group induc- ted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, re- corded the hits, "Yakety Yak" and "Charlie Brown."

Gardner has just record- ed his first solo album, "One Cool Cat." The compact disc, which includes 14 of his all-time favorite songs, is expected to be released by the end of the year.

"These are good, listena- ble songs, and I figured if they [today's youth]could hear these tunes from the '40s, It would enlighten them and they would say, 'Hey, these songs aren't bad,'" said Gardner in a re- cent interview from his home in Port St. Lucie, Fla.

The album, which fea- tures 10 newly recorded songs and four previously released "bonus tracks," Is a mixture of blues, rhythm and blues, old standards and gospel.

Report targets student concern about advising

Jay Young The BG News

One of the greatest concerns students voiced in the Building Community Report was aca- demic advising. Concerns about faculty who know little about re- quirements or show concern about students' well-being were common. A committee is current- ly trying to find the answers to those concerns.

Committee Chairman Joe Cranny, College of Arts and Sci- ences dean, said there is a need to review the current system.

"I think we need to take a look at it," Cranny said. "The current advising system, I think, has grown without careful planning and has sort of responded to what the needs were as we went along."

Cranny said it is difficult to judge the University advising systems.

"I think the strengths of the advising system vary considera- bly from department to depart- ment," Cranny said. "I think we need to get more uniformity across the campus in advising."

One thing being looked at is the need for full-time advisers whose only responsibility is academic advising. The College of Arts and Sciences currently has three such advisers available to stu- dents.

Cranny said there are many demands on the full-time ad-

visers. "It's strength is that these are

very experienced people. I think they do a good job. I'm amazed at the amount of work they get done, but we could still use more," Cranny said. While full- time advisers can provide exper- tise, Cranny said faculty also need to be invovled In guiding students through their education.

"My own view is that we need to use both avenues," Cranny said. "We need to have full-time advisers who are closely familar with the regulations and know what all the requirements are, but I think every faculty member should be Involved in advising students."

Provost Charles Middleton also said there is a need for both types of advisers on campus. He said finding the right combina- tion is the goal.

"I don't know of a single Uni- versity in the country that's got it right yet," Middleton said. "I know some are better than oth- ers. Among those who are better, my goal is to have BGSU the best."

Some universities require stu- dents to visit with an adviser be- fore they register each semester. Cranny said it is possible for a student to graduate from the University without ever talking to an adviser.

Craft fair offers Christmas buys

Matt DeFeo, 12, hands snow to his brother Pat, 13, who adds another layer to their 10 foot-plus tall snowman In their yard In Torrington, Conn., Sunday. The brothers, and their friend Eric Wright, 12, started the snowman during Saturday evening's snowfall and said they planned to add charcoal eyes, tree limbs and a hat.

Maureen Barry The BC News

Students can get a head start on their Christmas shopping at the craft fair in the Lenhart Ball- room beginning today at 10 am.

Dana Schumaker, campus sales director for the University Activities Organization, said area vendors will display their talents and goods Tuesday and Wednes- day from 10 am. to 8 p.m. and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

"There will be a lot of different craft items," she said.

According to Schumaker, the fair will feature homemade items including Native American crafts, birdhouses and Christmas wreaths and decorations.

The fair will also include homemade foods, such as cook-

ies, chocolate and caramel pop- corn, Schumaker said.

Some vendors are not available all three days for the fair, there- fore, those attending the fair may see different vendors from day- to-day, she said.

"It Is a good idea for people who haven't gone shopping yet," according to Schumaker.

Schumaker added that the prices are reasonable and af- fordable for college students.

Edna and Robert Instone of Bowling Green have participated in the craft fair for more than 10 years.

"We enjoy talking to the stu- dents," she said.

She added that they will sell decoratively painted Christmas ornaments and various wood crafts.

Russian voters turn down bid to finish nuclear plant

Greg Myre The Associated Press

MOSCOW - In the first re- ferendum of its kind in Russia, voters handily turned down the government's bid to finish a par- tially constructed nuclear power plant in their impoverished rural region.

Results of the referendum, an- nounced Monday, mean Russia's Atomic Energy Ministry will not be allowed to complete the project, which was halted after the 1986 nuclear catastrophe at Chernobyl in Ukraine.

Residents in Kostroma, 250 miles northeast of Moscow, had feared a nuclear plant would drive away the tourists who stea- dily stream in to enjoy the re- gion's clean lakes and woodlands, said Karen Richardson of Green- peace International.

The environmental organiza- tion had helped residents put the issue to a referendum, the first time Russians had the opportuni- ty to vote on a nuclear issue.

"Obviously, we're very pleased about this," Richardson said. "It shows that when people have a choice, they don't want nuclear

power. More than 80 percent of voters

opposed the plant in Sunday's re- ferendum, according to Russian news agencies. Final results were not available.

A statement from the atomic ministry on Monday said the Russian government had "no plans to resume the construction of the Kostroma nuclear power plant... either at present or in the foreseeable future."

Russia's constitution requires authorities to honor the vote. For

Investigation finds judicial conflict of interest The Associated Press

DAYTON, Ohio - A four-month investigation of Greene County's judicial system found numerous apparent conflicts of interest in- volving judges and lawyers, The Dayton Daily News reported.

The investigation examined hundreds of case files in common pleas and municipal courts. It also looked at police and pros- ecutor files and financial disclo- sure statements of judges, pros- ecutors and other public offi- cials.

In stories Sunday and Monday, the newspaper said it found a case in which the son of former Xenia Municipal Court Judge Raymond Hieber had his speed- ing ticket dismissed by an acting

judge who was Raymond Hleber's divorce lawyer.

Hieber, a former Xenia Muni- cipal Court judge, appointed his divorce lawyer to serve as an act- ing judge when Hieber was ill In 1994 and 1995 and unable to serve. During that time, the law- yer dismissed a speeding; ticket against the judge's son Jeffrey Hieber, the newspaper found.

Raymond Hieber did not re- turn a telephone message left at his Bellbrook home.

The newspaper also reported that Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas Rose heard cases han- dled by county Prosecutor Wil- liam Schenck's office while he and Schenck owned a rental property together.

Rose and Schenck, who were law partners before Rose was

"The money was deposited, and it's accounted for."

William Schenck Greene county prosecutor

elected a judge, defended their action Monday. They said they had publicly disclosed the rental partnership and tried to move as quickly as they could to sell the house to a man who had been renting it.

Rose said they had to wait until late 1993 to sell the house be- cause the buyer could not come up with the money right away for the purchase. The relationship did not affect decisions Rose

I

made in court. Rose said. "I had a partnership with the

judge at one time. It was fully disclosed," Schenck said Mon- day.

The investigation also revealed that the county prosecutor's of- fice accepted money in return for reducing charges in two cases last year.

A man gave Greene County As- sistant Prosecutor David Me- saros $5,000 to have a felony gun

possession charge reduced to a misdemeanor, the Daily News reported. In the other case a man paid $2,500 to have a felony drug charge reduced to a mis- demeanor.

Mesaros and Schenck said Monday the money was paid as Tines to resolve the cases. They said the lawyers for the two de- fendants suggested the ar- rangement so that the defendants could avoid felony convictions that could cost them their jobs.

The payments were equal to the fines the defendants could have received If convicted, Me- saros said.

The police agencies Involved in the cases approved the arrange- ment before the deals were made

Wow. I feel like crap. Last night we had a party.

I pity our downstairs neighbors: It must have sounded Tike we loosed a dozen wildebeest In our place. We ran around, laughed, screamed along to some really bad music. And we drank. A lot.

Now, pushing the toast around on my plate and feel- ing like a herd of rats Just ran through my mouth. I wonder why I drank so much. Indeed, why alcohol always ends up being the life of the party.

Perhaps this Is because it's been so ingrained Into us that to truly let loose you have to consume some sort of mind- altering substance. I know that alcohol, in certain amounts, seems to do wonders for my mental health. Temporarily, at least, it can take the edge off of Just about anything—bad rela- Uonshlps. bad classes, bad life. And it gives you a great excuse to act like a grade-AJerk.

I suppose this is why beer and such is so popular around here. We're college students, we need some way to unwind, right? And what could be more accessible, even to underage folk, than alcohol?

I remember looking out the window of my dorm room my freshman year; somebody had stomped "BEER" across the snow in huge letters. How

leredil Southard

concise this one word was In summing up nearly every party I've ever been to.

Ah. the tender memories I've gathered from so many an out-of-control party. I'd enter somebody's pulsating abode to be swept up by the swarm of people mobbing the keg. Be- cause coherent conversation would be impossible and the main goal of everyone there would be to get as sloshed as possible anyway. I'd Join the crowd.

After about an hour of steady drinking I'd be in a state of Inebriated nirvana—sober enough to walk and talk yet drunk enough to not know what the heck I was doing. But then, as the night plugged on- ward. I'd begin to get dizzy. The floor would sway, back and forth. I'd forget where or who or what I was.

Inevitably I'd end the evening kneeled before a toilet, watching the walls spin around and waiting to puke or fall asleep, whichever came first. I'd wake up the next morning feel- ing like 1 had a particularly vio-

lent strain of the stomach flu and overwhelmed by feelings of guilt. I made a fool out of my- self. I'd think. I can't get out of bed. today's going to be a waste.

Looking back. I know I was fortunate that being hungover was all I had to worry about.

Some parties, especially the larger ones, can get wild. Such a setUng is prime hunt- ing ground for the beer-bespec- tacled. When hormones are running wild but reason Isn't, bad things happen—sexual imposlUon. assualt. rape.

Indeed, of reported sexual assualt cases. 50 percent of the vicUms and 75 percent of the assailants had been drinking. Alcohol can Increase sexual aggression while impairing a person's ability to be recepUve to a partner's cues—It can turn ordinary people Into rapists. And if a woman (or man, as the case may be) is drunk. (s)he is not In a state to give consent for sex. regardless of what his/ her partner thinks (s)he may want. This Is a law.

Then there's the matter of finding a way home. I've known quite a few intelligent people who insist that they could drive even though they were quite ob- viously trashed. "It's only a few blocks." they'd wheedle. They'd forget that people can drown In two Inches of water, and In the

M<wJ<4,Wkml<A*&&...

(

same way they can get In a fa- tal car wreck the Instant they pull out of the driveway.

It's hard to remember this when you're drunk—you feel like you're flying. But statlsUcs tell It another way. In 1995, over 40 percent of traffic acci- dents were alcohol-related. An estimated 16,589 people died in alcohol-related car crashes. Traffic crashes are the single greatest cause of death for Keople, age 6 to 28, and alco-

ol Is involved In nearly half of these.

I'm not the greatest of role models for abstinence, but I do hope that people drink safely. The last thing I want to hear, ever. Is that a friend was raped or killed because someone had too much to drink and got stu- pid. When attending holiday parties, stick with with friends you know well, and don't let anyone drive drunk under any circumstances.

Considering the turmoil my stomach is in right now, perhaps I should skip the drinks at future gatherings. I'm sure it's amusing, at least, to be sober when everyone else is drunk. I can watch my friends puke on each other, then I can make sure they get home safely. And I can laugh at their hang- overs in the morning.

Shoe fetish, or odd coincidence?

i

My friend Rich has a shoe aura. He finds himself In odd situations Involving shoes. I would be interested In Freud's InterpretaUon of these events.

Rich used to work for a large woman. Her feet were far from dainty. She would buy casual, slip-on shoes two sizes too small, trying to give the ap- pearance of smaller feet. She would go from her size 14 down to a size 12.

With the smaller size, her pinkie toes would stick out of the shoes, resembling red frankfurters ready to burst. He always thought of mustard and relish when he saw this.

Unfortunately, she was eventually fired for reasons unknown. The day after she was fired. Rich walked Into her office and noticed an extra pair of her shoes were still there. She must have been so flus- tered she forgot to clean out her office.

He marveled at their size and depth.

He picked up the shoes, making sure to lift properly with his legs so as not to harm his back. He went to the gen- eral manager of the hotel to show him his discovery. "Oh. find a good use for them, will you Rich? You can store knick knacks or engine parts In them If you want." he said seriously.

Rich began thinking of ways to use the shoes. "If the indoor pool overflows. I can use

<

them as buckets to discard the excess water." he said excitedly.

"That's fine Rich, now run along," the general manager said, dismissing Rich with the wave of his hand.

Since the pool never over- flows he continued to think. He thought the hotel could use the shoes at the front door. Fill them with sand for a place where guests can extinguish their cigarettes. But. the hotel had these already. He ran the gamut of ideas. Put them out- side beside the flower garden to act as large boulders would, deflecting errant cars and people? Turn the Frisch's Big Boy statue Into a cross-dresser by placing them on his feet? Use them as matching punch bowls for weddings? Let the promiscuous old woman from The Old Woman In The Shoe" nursery rhyme move In with her many Illegitimate children?

He eventually made his decision. He donated them to a worthy cause, an Institute of higher education. The local clown college was ecstatic upon receiving them and Immedi- ately put them to good use.

Rich's father recently

passed away. He traveled many miles to attend the funeral to fulfill his obligatory duty as pallbearer.

Upon arrival at his mother's home, he realized he didn't have any appropriate fu- neral footwear. Being rather tight with a dollar, he decided to look In his father's closet, hoping to find something to wear. He spotted his father's only pair of shoes, an old, worn pair even a hobo would be em- barrassed to wear.

He chuckled to himself as he realized men of every age are pretty much the same, for in- side the shoes were a pair of socks. Men usually wear their socks three or four times be- fore washing them. How en- dearing. He sniffed the socks, and finding them bearable put both socks and shoes on.

He Immediately became upset and angry. This act struck a deep cord inside his heart. Not because he knew he would never see his father again but because he couldn't stand the thought of wearing these "cheap-ass" shoes in pub- lic. "At least I don't have to buy a new pair," he said.

Rich arrived at the funeral and after the rights took his position as pallbearer. He Im- mediately became upset and angry. Not because he was car- rying his deceased father to his grave but because the coffin was unbelievably heavy. "The

old man could have laid off the pork rinds." he grunted, sweat streaming down his face.

As the procession marched to the grave it began to rain and thunder, making the ground slippery. Rich started to slip, as the soles on his father's shoes had been worn completely off.

Panic gripped him as he tried to maintain his balance while still holding onto the cof- fin. His Jerky, flailing move- ments caused the coffin lid to momentarily lift, revealing his father's sockless and shoeless feet.

Lightning streaked men- acingly across the sky.

He immediately became upset and angry. Not because he witnessed such a ghastly sight but because he realized what he must do.

Mastering his balance, he hopped up onto the coffin and removed the shoes and socks. He opened the coffin, closed his eyes and by touch alone, put the socks and shoes on his fa- ther.

The lightning and rain miraculously stopped as a ray of sunshine beamed upon the grave site. Rich was happy now. Not because his father's soul was at peace, but because he knew he would never have to wear those cruddy shoes and socks again.

Airman convicted for fetus-homicide

James Hannah The Associated Press

DAYTON - An airman at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base was convicted Monday under Ohio's fetus-homicide law after he admitted punching his preg- nant wife in the abdomen.

It is believed to be the first conviction under the new law, which went into effect in Sep- tember.

During his court-martial at the base, Gregory L. Robbins, 20, of Chicago, pleaded guilty to invo- luntary manslaughter for the un- lawful termination of a preg- nancy. He also pleaded guilty to assault and aggravated assault.

Judge Linda Mernane accepted Robbins' pleas and found him guilty of those charges. Robbins faces 15 1/2 years in prison.

Robbins had been charged with murder, but prosecutors dropped the charge in exchange for his guilty plea to involuntary man- slaughter. If convicted of mur- der, Robbins could have faced life in prison.

Security police were called to

Eggfarm for hiring

The Associated Press

LARUE, Ohio - The immigra- tion service is continuing to in- vestigate whether a corporate egg farm intentionally hired ille- gal immigrants to work at its operation in two Ohio communi- ties, an official said Monday.

"We're trying to see if there was any attempt by AgriGeneral to circumvent the law," said Richard Kowalchik, deputy di- rector of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service in Ohio.

Twenty illegal immigrants employed by AgriGeneral Co.

the Robbins' home on base on Sept. 12. Mrs. Robbins, 19, who was about eight months' preg- nant, alleged that she had been assaulted and was taken to the base hospital.

Doctors discovered that her uterus had been ruptured and the fetus was dead.

Robbins told the judge he had become angry with his wife after he discovered the family dog had soiled the floor and she defended the animal.

"I wrapped my fist up in a T-shirt and that's when I began punching," Robbins said.

He said he struck his wife about four times in the face and abdomen. The woman suffered a broken nose and battered eye.

"I never Intended on harming the baby," he said.

Robbins also admitted he had slapped and punched his wife be- fore Sept. 12 after becoming angry at her for not cleaning the house or not letting the dogs out- side. He acknowledged that he once struck her in the face after he watched a favorite basketball team lose a game on television.

Robbins is believed to be the first person convicted under Ohio's new fetus-homicide law. The charge incorporated state law into federal law for the pur- pose of the court-martial.

Robbins' attorney, Scott Tho- mas, said no Ohio court had yet convicted anyone under the stat- ute.

"This is the first we've heard of," added Mark Weaver, spokesman for the Ohio attorney general's office.

The Legislature passed the state law in June after an August 1995 traffic accident in suburban Cincinnati killed a Middletown woman and her fetus. The law al- lows prosecutors to file charges against people who kill or harm a viable, unborn human. Legal abortions are exempted.

Thomas asked her to withdraw from the case.

"I find there are no grounds that would require me to disqua- lify myself," she said. "I believe I can be fair and impartial, and I will do so."

L.P. were arrested Friday at four company farmhouses in Licking County.

"This was a sizeable raid," Kowalchik said.

The arrests were part of an in- vestigation of AgriGeneral's hir- ing practices in Licking County and in the Marion County city of LaRue. AgriGeneral has been operating the Licking County fa- cility since 1982. It opened the LaRue operation in Sept. 199S. INS agents have been auditing the company's personnel records for more than a month.

Many of the Illegal workers had fraudulent immigration documents, Kowalchik said.

INS agents will examine AgriGeneral records to de- termine whether the workers duped the company or whether the company knowingly hired il- legal aliens, Kowalchik said. AgriGeneral could be fined thousands of dollars if the com- pany violated the law, he said.

The agents also will investigate whether AgriGeneral followed federal law by requiring workers to present documents showing they were eligible to work in the United States.

Kowalchik said investigators were trying to see how long the illegal Immigrants had been working in Licking County.

COLUMBUS - A man was shot to death Monday at a used-car dealership during an altercation with an employee of the dealer- ship, police said.

Robert Hughes, 26, of Colum- bus, was shot once in the head and pronounced dead at 8:58 a.m. at Ohio State University Medical Center, said hospital spokesman David Crawford.

The shooting occurred about 8 am. at Paramount Automotive Center in the Grandview Heights neighborhood, police spokeswo- man Carrie Bartunek said.

Police provided few details about the killing, but officers said they would not charge the employee. The case will be pre- sented to a Franklin County

grand jury for consideration, Bart unek said.

Broadcast reports said Hughes was unhappy with a 1992 Corve- tte he had purchased Friday from the dealership.

After the car broke down twice, Hughes went back to the lot and allegedly threatened em- ployees, reports said. Although the company had agreed to take back the vehicle, he returned unannounced Monday. The fight broke out, and Hughes was shot during the struggle.

Reports said police had been called to the used-car lot Friday because Hughes had threatened employees.

Employee Robert Surwell told Columbus television station WBNS that he and his fellow workers were nervous about dealing with Hughes because of the threats.

"I just can't believe it. It's ter- rible " Surwell said. "Especia- lly when I knew the guy. I talked to the guy Friday."

The search for good advice Good advising is 'essential'

Jay Young The BG News

If there Is one thing faculty, students and administrators can agree on when It comes to stu- dent advising. It is how impor- tant it is to have a strong advis- ing system.

"I think it's essential." President Sidney Ribeau said. "In advising you teach students how to make decisions, how to plan how to utilize their time, how to make choices."

Ribeau said advisers are key in helping students plan for their careers.

"In addition to selecting classes and majors It should be a dialogue that helps a student grow In his or her own profes- sion, but also as an Individual."

Ribeau said academic ad- vising is important enough that it should "definitely" be made part of the faculty reward struc- ture.

"Advising is teaching. It's Just teaching different kinds of things." he said. "I think advis- ing should be recognized. It's part of teaching."

Provost Charles Middleton

said advising has been recog- nized as part of the reward struc- ture In other places he has worked.

"I'm used to having advis- ing count as part of the teaching function and not the service function, because In a sense ad- vising is teaching."

Middleton said the advising system needs to meet two needs. He said the system needs to pro- vide students with timely and accurate advising on curricular building. In addition, he said the system needs to help students think through conceptually what they are doing.

Ed Whlpple. vice president for Student Affairs, said there is a need for a strong advising sys- tem outside academics.

"Since a student spends about 80 percent of his or her time outside the classroom. I think it's real important." Whipple said.

"Learning takes place in a variety or arenas, not just the classroom. A lot of learning about life takes place In the Rec Center. There's a whole variety of ways people learn."

Every student's experience differs A

Jay Young The BG News

Students' college experi- ence many times depends If they are fortunate enough to be matched with a good adviser. For those who are. there can be great rewards. For those who are not. It can be the low point of a col- lege experience.

Shaun Mooran said she has had a poor experience with academic advising.

"It's a Joke in some cases." Mooran said. "1 don't think that they do everything they neces- sarily can."

Mooran said speaking to others In the program Is Just as reliable.

"I find It easier to get better advice from other students or professors or even secretaries." Mooran said.

Patrick Durant. sophomore pre-crlminal justice major, said he has had a positive experience with his adviser. He said the as- sistance of his adviser has been

very Important. "Their

knowledge of the program helps me take the right classes so I can get Into the program." Durant said. "If you don't have one than you re- ally Just have to take a shot In the dark."

Amy Kettner. Junior art therapy major, said she has done fine "shooting In the dark."

They usually tell you to take classes that you don't need." Kettner said. There Is a list of all of the courses you need."

Jennifer Harter, freshman art history, said she Is planning on meeting with an adviser to assist her with her schedule.

"I have a name, but 1 haven't seen him yet." she said. "Hopefully he will be able to di- rect me to different sources for the job 1 want to go Into."

Formal training not required Chairpersons say instruction taught from previous adviser

Darla Warnock 7rie BG News

No formal training Is nec- essary In preparing undergradu- ate academic advisers for their Job. Most of their Instruction is taught to them from the preceedlng adviser, according to department chairpersons.

Donald Nleman, History Department chairman, said though adviser selection varies from department to department, the same basic guidelines are followed by most of them.

"We have an undergradu- ate adviser appointed by the de- partment chair." Nleman said. "Someone especially Interested in undergraduate education."

He said they are chosen based on their interest and In- volvement In the department. Nleman s-ild he believes their

time spent In the department al- lows them to learn what type of goals students need to set to meet academic requirements.

Ron Woodruff. Biological Sciences Department chairman, said faculty need to show depart- ment knowledge and a desire to aid students If they are to be- come an adviser.

"They are chosen based upon personality, and they need to take pride In their Job." Woo- druff said. "Some people just don't communicate as well."

The purpose of advisers Is to effectively communicate with students about their academic problems and help them move on. according to Woodruff.

"Students should expect to be listened to, he said. They should get advice better than what they went In there with."

Roger Anderson. Political Science Department chairman, explained the process of choos- ing an adviser depends largely on the kind of advice students need.

"It depends on what the student wants," he said. "We don't have anything spelled out about what the student should do."

Anderson said the more information a student brings to discuss with their adviser, the more helpful the meeting be- comes.

The better a student can be prepared prior to coming in to see him the better." Anderson said. "A transcript or anything else might be helpful."

Nleman explained the ad- visor has to keep up on change within the department and learn precisely what students need to

know to graduate. "I think our undergraduate

advisor spends a good deal of time studying careers," Nieman said. "They need to know about what students need to know about."

The University recom- mends undergraduate student see their advisers at least once a semester.

However, It is not a require- ment.

Nleman stressed that many students are not taking advan- tage of the advising system as a whole.

"I look at advising as a part of teaching," Nleman said. "Un- dergraduates are rather reticent about coming In and seeking advice, which I think Is quite a pity."

ADVISING Continued from page one.

"I think It's a mistake for students to do that, but our sys- tem Is set up to put a good deal of responsibility on the student," Cranny said.

Ribeau said forcing student to see an adviser is not the an- swer.

'We need to create an in- centive where a student would want to see an adviser." Ribeau said. "Just a stamp alone won't do It. We need to work on the at- Utude."

Students are responsible for advice in the end Jay Young

The BG News President Sidney Ribeau

said a student has the right to expect accurate Information with a caring attitude from academic advisers.

"I think advisers need to be trained, and students need to be able to expect that they're talk- ing with an excellent faculty member who is also trained In advising." Ribeau said.

Joe Cranny. College of Arts and Sciences dean, said a stu- dent should receive more than a

catalog reader. "They have a right to expect

that the adviser either knows the answers to their quesUons or is willing to make the effort to get the answers to their quesUons." Cranny said. 'You can't Just leave It to the students to read the catalog, and if they run into a snarl someone can explain the catalog to them. That's not ad- vising. Advising Is. 'How can we get you to where you want to go in the best possible way?1"

The expectations go both ways, though. Ribeau said advis-

ers should expect students to come with a sense of what they want from their educational ex- perience.

They should have some well-structured questions that reflect what their Interests are." Ribeau said. 'The students need to come with some preparaUon. Not Just. Here I am, tell me what to do.-'

Cranny said advisers should expect students to par- ticipate and be active In the de- cision making process.

"What they have a right to

expect from the student Is that they'll listen to and consider what they hear. That they'll be forthcoming about what It Is they want to do and why they want to do It." Cranny said. "It should be Interaction where two people have the same goal, and that's the welfare of the student within the standards of the University."

In the end, Ribeau said what lies at the end of the path of the advice taken is the respon- sibility of the student.

"I think ultimately. In a very practical way. It's the student's

responsibility. Even though he or she may be listening to someone else." Ribeau said. "It's kind of like life. Once you become an adult you need to learn you Just can't go on what somebody tells you all of the time."

Cranny said academic ad- vice a student receives should be viewed under the same skepti- cism as other suggesUons.

"It's up to the student, in taking that kind of advice to treat It like they do any other kind of advice. Evaluate It. look at It and decide, Do I want to take this

advice'," Cranny said. "You're not being charged for it, so you should be careful of things you get for free."

To make sure nothing is in quesUon. Cranny said a student should get the advice taken In writing.

"In a great many cases they probably should get It In writing or should check It out." Cranny said. "If a faculty member or an adviser tells you that you have to take this. It's not a bad Idea to say. "Where does It say that?'"

Simpson jury hears company pays ^ , j * . • for employees Goldman testimony typing injuries

Linda Deutsch The Associated Press

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Bringing his furious quest to

prove OJ. Simpson killed his son to a sorrowful climax, Fred Goldman took the stand Monday and told of the huge void the slay- ing has left in his life.

"There Isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of Ron," said Goldman, shooting angry glances at Simpson and overcome at times with such wrenching sobs that his lawyer had to pause in questioning.

Jurors seemed grim. Most looked down when Goldman sob- bed. Two appeared to grow moist-eyed as he narrated a se- ries of family snapshots and videotapes.

In one chilling moment, Ron Goldman himself spoke to the jury, remarking in a November 1993 videotape that "God knows where I'll be in a year."

Fred Goldman wept hardest

when he told of finding a diagram in his son's apartment after his death showing a restaurant he dreamed of opening.

"I never realized how far Ron had gotten with his plans and his dreams," Goldman sobbed.

The diagram, displayed on a TV screen, showed a floor plan in the shape of an Egyptian ankh necklace that the 25-year-old Ron Goldman wore. Asked what It symbolized, the father wept and said, "Eternal life," then turned toward Simpson and added, "He doesnt wear It anymore. Kim wears it now."

Kim Goldman, the slain man's younger sister, sat in the front row of the courtroom, dabbing at her eyes with a tissue. Her step- mother, Patti, and stepsister, Lauren, also were in tears.

Simpson's attorney, Robert Baker, conducted a brief, gentle cross-examination, establishing that Ron Goldman's mother, Sharon Rufo, who is a party to the lawsuit, hadn't seen him in 14

years. He also showed that Fred Goldman has a $450,000 book contract.

The plaintiffs rested when Goldman left the stand.

Baker immediately launched the defense by calling retired police Detective Philip Vannatter and dissecting his actions the night Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found slain.

Superior Court Judge Hiroshl Fujisaki immediately began sus- taining objections to Baker's questions, leaving the lawyer shaking his head in frustration. But Baker was able to win Van- natter's concession that he saw no evidence that anyone had climbed over a fence into Simp- son's estate near the spot where a bloody glove was found.

Attorney Daniel Petrocelli, who has aggressively pressed Goldman's cause, had saved his client for the finale, eliciting a portrait of Ron Goldman as a young man still finding his way in life when he was killed.

Fred Goldman told of his own three marriages and his move to California when Ron was a teen- ager. He said Ron tried college twice and failed and managed to run up so many debts he had to declare bankruptcy.

The father said he wouldn't bail him out of the "financial pickle" because he believed in practicing "tough love parent- ing."

Goldman said his son held nu- merous jobs and finally decided he liked being a waiter. Six months before Ron was slain, Fred Goldman said, his son pro- posed opening his own restaurant and asked his father to Invest. Fred Goldman said he told him he'd consider it when he received more details.

Petrocelli showed a poignant photo of Ron and Kim when they were 6 and 3 years old. Shot from the rear, it showed two tiny fig- ures in coats, holding hands walking down an empty road.

North Tarrytown considers new moniker Jim Fitzgerald

The Associated Press

NORTH TARRYTOWN, N.Y. - Washington Irving is buried in a churchyard here. A few blocks to the south is the Horseman Diner, where the horseman is pictured headless. Not far away are the Sleepy Hollow Animal Hospital, the Sleepy Hollow Bicycle Shop and Sleepy Hollow High School.

This is Sleepy Hollow country. But it isn't CALLED Sleepy

Hollow - not yet, at least. The 8,000 people of North Tar-

rytown, in need of some revenue now that a General Motors plant has closed, will decide Tuesday

whether to change their village's name to the more evocative and perhaps more lucrative Sleepy Hollow.

"I've done some world travels, and when you said 'North Tarry- town' nobody knew what it was," said John Morabito, bom in the village 72 years ago. "But if you said 'Sleepy Hollow' and 'Rip van Winkle' and The Headless Hor- seman,' then people knew."

It's clear that North Tarrytown is the setting for Irving's 1819 tale "The Legend of Sleepy Hol- low," in which the gangly school- teacher Ichabod Crane dis- appears after being terrorized by a headless horseman.

The Old Dutch Church, the bridge over the Pocantico River, and the brook where the British spy John Andre was captured all figure in the story and are in North Tarrytown, which la on the Hudson River, about 20 miles north of Manhattan.

Polly Baumgartner said people are always asking her, "Is this Sleepy Hollow?" "Well, yeah," she said. "It's just not called that."

The village's trustees already support the move to call it that.

"If people know this is where to come to find Sleepy Hollow, then tourism dollars would flow

in and sales taxes could help re- place the $1 million a year Gen- eral Motors has been paying," said Chris Skelly, a resident who was putting up "Vote Yes" pos- ters around town. "We want peo- ple to come to Sleepy Hollow, visit the sights, have lunch, buy some antiques, take a boat ride."

"Historically, It's illegitimate," he said, "and as a historian I don't like distortion. Keep the name, then let's get some In- dustrial company to take over the GM space."

An earlier effort to rename the village Sleepy Hollow failed 2-to-l in 1988.

Oscar-nominated, former 'In the Heat of the Night' star dies

Phillip L. Velez The Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Howard Rol- lins, the Oscar-nominated actor who was bounced from the TV series "In the Heat of the Night" in 1993 because of his drug use, has died at 46, his agent said Monday.

Larry Bloustein, a spokes- man for the William Morris Agency in Los Angeles, would not disclose the cause and cir- cumstances of Rollins' death. He said only that the actor died on Sunday in New York.

In "Heat of the Night," Rol- lins starred opposite Carroll O'Connor as a black detective from Philadelphia working in a racially volatile Southern town.

Rollins also had roles in the movies "A Soldier's Story" in 1984 and "Ragtime" in 1981. He was nominated for an Academy Award for "Rag- time," in which he played Coalhouse Walker, a proud piano teacher who becomes a vengeful revolutionary.

It was the second death of a star associated with "In the Heat of the Night." O'Connor's son, Hugh O'Connor, who played a law officer on the show, committed suicide in 1995 at age 33 - a death his father blamed on his son's 16-year battle with drugs.

In a statement Monday, O'- Connor said he was "deeply saddened by Howard's death. He was a friend who we loved dearly."

"In the Heat of the Night," based on the 1967 movie about a white Mississippi police chief who teams up with a black de- tective from the North, ran on television from 1988 to 1994, first on NBC, then on CBS.

Rollins' drug use repeatedly got him into legal trouble, and

he was written out of the series after the 1992-93 season. Carl Weathers was added to the cast.

In 1993, Rollins spent a month in jail for driving under the influence and reckless driving.

He pleaded guilty in 1992 to driving under the influence of a tranquilizer. He was sen- tenced to two days in jail.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK - In the first ver- dict of Its kind, a federal jury ordered computer maker Digital Equipment Co. to pay nearly $6 million to three women who suf- fered disabling arm and wrist in- juries they blamed on their key- boards. The verdict was returned last week in federal court in Brooklyn.

Patricia Geressy, a secretary at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, won nearly $5.4 million; Jill Jackson, a legal secretary, was awarded $306,000 and Janet Rotolo, a hos- pital billing clerk, was awarded $278,000.

The women worked on key- boards that Digital knew could result in carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injur- ies, said their lawyer, Steven Phi- lips.

Despite a rising number of complaints from office workers, no computer maker has ever been ordered to pay damages for injuries blamed on keyboard de- sign.

Philips said Digital had been cited by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administra- tion for similar injuries among its own workers in 1989.

"Digital put in a terrific pro- gram for its own workers and managed to reduce the incidence of this at Digital eightfold, but they didn't bother to tell their customers," Philips said. "Not only did they know people were getting hurt, they knew how to fix the problem and they kept quiet so they could sell their equipment."

Digital lawyer Kenneth King

would not comment on the ver- dict.

Philips said Geressy, 50, the most severely injured, has undergone four operations since her Injuries became severe in 1991, and now "her arms are withered."

"Not only did they know people were getting hurt, but they didn't bother to tell their customers."

attorney Steven Philips

Carpal tunnel syndrome is an inflammation of tissue covering nerves in the wrist. When that sheath, or 'tunnel," becomes in- flamed, it can press on nerves, causing problems ranging from soreness to inability to use the hands. Jackson, 42, now of Wil- kes-Barre, Pa., suffered from cubital tunnel syndrome, a simi- lar affliction of the nerves in the elbow that is not treatable surgi- cally, Philips said.

In October, a jury in Kansas City, Mo., said IBM was not re- sponsible for a former Blue Cross and Blue Shield worker's disabling arm and shoulder pain.

A federal jury in Philadelphia ruled earlier this year, in only the second case to go to a jury, that IBM and Atex Inc. were not to blame for the painful wrist con- dition a Philadelphia Inquirer re- porter developed after hours at computer keyboards.

Yugoslavian workers participate in protest

Jovana Gee The Associated Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia -- Their anger and poverty are

great. Fear of losing the little they have is even greater. Be- cause of that, workers have yet to join protests against Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic.

The demonstrations entered their fourth week Monday, with more than 100,000 students and sympathizers rallying against the annulment of a Nov. 17 oppo- sition election victory. Dissident leaders announced a boycott of Tuesday's opening session of a new federal parliament.

The anti-government protest- ers also vented their fury at the arrest and beating of a young demonstrator, one of 40 detained by authorities in the past week.

Dejan Bulatovic was arrested after a demonstration in which he perched on a jeep near an ef- figy of Milosevic dressed in a prison outfit. His mother, Ljil- jana, said the 21-year-old, who suffers from asthma, had his nose broken during interroga- tion.

The demonstrations represent the most serious challenge to the autocratic Serbian president since he came to power in 1987. Workers' participation is crucial because they may be the only force that can seriously shake Milosevic.

But efforts by independent union leaders to organize a gen- eral strike thus far have been met with a timid response.

Several hundred people gath- ered at Belgrade's IMT engine and tractor factory to demand better living and working condi- tions. But they refused to leave the factory gates for a planned march Monday to the Serbian government building.

Union leaders said workers were afraid of losing their jobs and minimal salaries.

"The fear is immense," Dra- goljub Matic, an independent union official said. "This is the first time that we can't get workers to walk out of the factor- ies."

In shabby clothes, hardship et- ched in their faces, most of the workers refused to talk to re- porters. Some even hid their faces from cameras.

"This is the first time that we can't get workers to walk out of the factories."

Dragoljub Matic independent union official

Others said they feared being used as tools in a political strug- gle. Unlike the protesters who jam downtown streets every day, they say their demands are purely economic.

"We are here because we have nothing to eat. We don't care about politics," said Zarko Jokic, a 47-year-old father of two who earns $50 a month.

"I'm willing to go to the rallies ... but I don't want to be led around like a sheep," added Djordje Bozanic.

The workers accuse the government of squandering vast sums of money, destroying the economy and reducing people's daily existence to a bare mini- mum.

Sanctions imposed to punish Milosevic's role in instigating war in Croatia and Bosnia as well as economic mismanagement have sent the economy into a deep nosedive. Milosevic has shown no interest in ending state control of the economy.

Out of 4,500 employees, only about 1,000 still have their jobs at

the IMT factory. The rest are on paid leave. Many workers across Serbia got by under sanctions with small-time smuggling, and now are involved In selling ciga- rettes on the street or other ac- tivities.

That makes it hard for union leaders to organize them.

"No one knows where they are," said Milan Nikolic, head of the metalworkers' section of the Independence trade union organ- ization.

The demonstrations in Bel- grade have been mostly peaceful, and Milosevic has taken little ac- tion to stop them, apparently hop- ing they would fizzle out by themselves.

But his politically powerful wife, Mirjana Markovic, spoke out Monday, echoing the state- run media's criticism of the pro- testers. "Brutality on the streets is not the way to solve economic and social questions," she said on Serbian TV.

The police beating of the pro- tester was a sign that Milosevic was trying to frighten his oppo- nents.

Bulatovic's mother told inde- pendent radio station B 92 that she visited her son in prison. She said his nose was broken, and he told her he had a pistol barrel stuck into his mouth during the interrogation.

She said he was beaten and was lying naked, shivering, in front of a window left open to the cold winter air. Authorities said Bula- tovic would be taken to the hospi- tal. Lawyer Nikola Barovic said he had been told he would be al- lowed to visit his client Tuesday.

About 30,000 students protested the police action. Later, about 100,000 opposition party supporters marched in downtown Belgrade.

The United States condemned the beating of Bulatovic and said renewed economic sanctions against Milosevic's government.

Judge declares du Pont competent to stand trial

Erich Smith The Associated Press

MEDIA, Pa. - A judge who found John E. du Pont too delu- sional to stand trial two months ago in the shooting of a wrestler found him competent Monday after psychiatrists said heavy doses of drugs helped clear his head.

The millionaire murder defen- dant is "admittedly mentally ill" but now understands reality well enough to be tried in the shooting of world-class wrestler David Schultz, said Delaware County Judge Patricia H. Jenkins, who set trial for Jan. 21.

Two months ago, doctors on both sides of the case agreed the 57-year-old heir to the DuPont

Co. chemical fortune was unable to help his attorneys. They said he thought he was the dalai lama, the Christ child and the last sur- viving member of the Russian royal family.

A defense psychiatrist testi- fied at a second competency hearing last week that despite the help of heavy doses of anti-p- sychotic medicine at the state mental hospital where he is being held, du Pont still believes Com- munist conspirators will kill him if he discusses his case.

But a prosecution psychiatrist and other hospital officials said du Pont meets legal standards for competency - understanding the charges against him, the roles of people in court, possible out- comes of the trial, the concept of

"plea bargaining" and his consti- tutional right to refuse to testify.

Jenkins said du Pont's com- ments about a death plot could represent an attempt to manip- ulate the court, but said her de- cision was instead based on the entire record, "a record that now suggests that the defendant is more likely than not capable of cooperating effectively with counsel."

If found incompetent, du Pont could have been confined to a mental hospital until deemed fit to stand trial.

Even before Monday's ruling, du Pont's attorneys filed a motion to reopen the competency hear- ing, saying a prosecution witness had privately agreed with de- fense claims he's delusional.

Bengals still smiling after victory Goal-line stand is highlight of season

Joe Kay The Associated Press

CINCINNATI - A day later, they were still smiling.

The Cincinnati Bengals' de- fense had its finest moment of the season Sunday when it put up a goal-line stand In the closing seconds. By stopping the Balti- more Ravens on four plays, the defense preserved a 21-14 vic- tory and left itself something to reminisce about during the off- season.

"If there's nothing else to re- member from the 1996 season, there was the great goal-line stand against the Baltimore Ra- vens with less than a minute left," linebacker Ricardo McDonald said. "That really says a whole lot about a team defen- sively."

It says a whole lot that very few people at Cinergy Field thought they could pull it off.

With Vinny Testaverde throw- ing and Bam Morris running, the Ravens sliced through the de- fense and had first-and-goal at the 5-yard line with 1:02 left. On first down, Morris ran straight ahead to the 1.

Bad sign. Fans already were discussing whether the Ravens should try for a two-point con- version and the win, or hope for overtime.

But Morris gained nothing on two more runs, and defensive back Sam Shade tackled fullback Carwell Gardner short of the goal line on a fourth-down pass to end it.

"This was a particularly excit- ing goal-line stand Inasmuch as I for one was sitting there thinking we had no chance to stop them," president Mike Brown admitted Monday. "Bam Morris had run through us all day, and how were we suddenly going to stop him now?

"Things conspired our way and until Shade made that tackle, I never thought we were going to succeed with it. I was very ex- cited at that point and I would say surprised."

in the NFL - gained confidence. Finally, with snowflakes falling, the fans screaming and the game on the line, it dug it and won the game.

"I was screaming so loud, I got a migraine," linebacker Tom Tumulty said. "That was the most exciting goal-line stand I've e,rer seen. There was so much e- lectricity."

"The fans got into it," McDon- ald said. "I had goose pimples. With the crowd behind us and knowing the game was on the line, it was probably one of the most exciting moments I've ever had as a football player.

"I was screaming so loud, I got a migraine."

"I've been around here five years and I've never seen a goal- line stand like that, in a critical moment when the game was on the line. Championship teams make those kinds of plays."

Brown called it the team's most memorable goal-line stand since

the Bengals used one to stop the Cardinals in the opener of the 1988 season. Cincinnati went on to the Super Bowl that year.

Whether it's anything more than just a good memory will be determined in the two weeks to come.

"It was a great goal-line stand," defensive lineman John Copeland said. "It showed what we're capable of doing. I just say there's good things to come."

Coach Bruce Coslet thinks the effects will be short-term.

"As far as carryover, when they're down there again, it's an- other team and it's a whole new ballgame," he said.

Coslet still unsure of possible return

Joe Kay The Associated Press

CINCINNATI - With only two weeks left in the season, Bruce Coslet has a 5-2 record and no assurance he will be back next season as the Cin- cinnati Bengals head coach.

A 21-14 come-from-behind victory Sunday over the Bal- timore Ravens assured that the Bengals (6-8) will have a winning record under Coslet, who took over for Dave Shu la after a 1-6 start.

President Mike Brown is pleased with the job Coslet has done, but is sticking to his o- riginal timetable of waiting until after the final game to make a decision on next year's head coach.

"That's something I've told you all we would talk about when the year is over," Brown said Monday. "If that were to change, you'd be the first to know."

By waiting so long, Brown runs the risk that Coslet could pursue another coaching job. There will be several openings and Coslet has improved his stature by turning the sad- sack Bengals into seven-week winners.

"I have concerns of different kinds, I guess, in re- gards to Bruce. I guess that's one possibility," Brown said. "I'm aware of It."

For reasons he hasn't speci- fied, Brown wants to wait. There's nothing unusual about that - Brown and his father, Paul, usually have waited until the day after the final game to make decisions about the head coach.

It does leave Coslet in an awkward position. He can't talk about the future until he hears from Brown.

Coslet cut off questions about his contract on Monday.

"I'm not going to talk about that," he said. "It's best not even to talk about it."

When Coslet took the job,

Baseball free agents sign big-money deals

The Associated Press

NEW YORK - Showing how much free agency can be worth, Alex Fernandez got a $35 million, five-year contract from the Flor- ida Marlins on Monday.

Less than 48 hours after he be- came a free agent, Fernandez agreed to a deal that makes him baseball's second-highest paid pitcher behind Atlanta's John Smoltz, who will average $7.75 million under his four-year con- tract with the Braves. In terms of total dollars, Fernandez' package is the most for a pitcher.

"It's a very exciting, emotional day," said Fernandez, a Miami native. "It's a great feeling to know you'll be sleeping in your

own house and be with your wife and kids every day."

On a busy day in the free agent market, catcher Benito Santiago agreed to a $6.5 million, two-year contract with Toronto; left- hander Terry Mulholland agreed to a $2.3 million, one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs; catcher Kirt Manwaring agreed to a two- year contract with Colorado; and right-hander Bret Saberhagen agreed to a minor-league con- tract with Boston that could pay him up to $3.5 million if he makes 25 starts and pitches 200 innings In the major leagues.

In a late deal Sunday night, third baseman Todd Zeile agreed

By tha Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ky. - Ron Mercer and Derek Anderson each

scored 19 points and No. 3 Kentucky made five straight 3-poin- ters to open the game in coasting to a 90-62 victory over Wright State on Monday night.

Kentucky (6-1) hit 13 of 26 shots from 3-point range, handed out 27 assists and held a 42-28 rebound advantage to overcome a sloppy 22 turnovers in winning its sixth straight game.

Wright State (1-1) also shot weU from beyond the arc (9-of-18), but it couldn't take it inside against the quicker Wildcats and shot just 37 percent overall.

Anthony Epps contributed 15 points, all on 3-pointers, and had five assists while Jamaal Magloire grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked six shots for Kentucky.

Brown said emphatically that he was not looking at him as the interim coach. He said Coslet would get a long-term commitment if the Bengals did well the rest of the season.

They could not have done much better. Coslet took over a team that was divided and discouraged and won his first three games. The 5-2 mark is the best stretch by a Bengals team since it won five of its first seven games in the 1990 season.

The players expect Coslet to return.

"He has done a tremendous job," linebacker Ricardo McDonald said. "The record speaks for itself. I don't think there's any doubt as to which way they're thinking about go- ing."

Although Brown has not of- fered Coslet an extension, he has regularly praised his per- formance. That's part of the reason why the players as- sume Coslet will stay.

"He has done very well," Brown said Monday. "He has kept our team up. We've played hard, we've played a little better - better enough to win a number of close games. Early in the year, we were los- ing these close games and now we seem to win them. It's hap- pening under Brace's direc- tion and his watch, and that's to his credit.

"I would say that he's done fully as well as anyone could have expected, including me."

The only thing Coslet has failed to do is bring back the fans. Only one of the four home games under Coslet has sold out, and the crowd of 43,022 Sunday was the smallest of the season.

Brown said the attendance problems will not be a factor in selecting a head coach. The 1-6 start killed a lot of interest in the team, which had billed itself as a playoff contender.

Carolina stuns San Francisco

The Associated Press

There's no such thing as an expansion team in the NFL any more.

The Carolina Panthers dem- onstrated that Sunday by humbling the haughty San Francisco 49ers 30-24, clinch- ing at least a wild-card playoff berth in their second season and taking control of the NFC West

"We have never viewed our- selves as an expansion team. It's a nice feeling to be in the playoffs in our second season," said coach Dom Capers, whose Panthers are tied at 10-4 with the 49ers but have the tiebreaker because they won both meetings this

"It's a big, big step for us and it puts us in a position now where if we can take care of business, we can be in the po- sition we want to be in."

That business will be against Baltimore and Pitts- burgh at Ericsson Stadium in Charlotte, where the Panthers have never lost; it opened this season and Carolina is 6-0 there.

The 49ers also play the Steelers, who themselves clin- ched the AFC Central with a 16-3 victory over San Diego.

In addition to the Panthers and Steelers, New England and San Francisco also clin- ched playoff berths Sunday - c the 49ers when Washington lost in Tampa Bay.

Green Bay, which already had clinched a wild-card spot, won the NFC Central by rout- ing Denver 41-6.

That leaves half the playoff teams decided with two weeks left The Broncos clinched home field In the AFC last week and rested John Elway and his sore hamstring in Green Bay.

New England clinched its playoff spot with a 34-10 vic- tory over the New York Jets and Dallas got a big win, beat- ing Arizona 10-6. That put the Cowboys alone atop the NFC East ahead of Washington, which lost 24-10 Sunday to Tampa Bay and Philadelphia, which was routed 37-10 last Thursday in Indianapolis.

In other games Sunday, it was Seattle 26, Buffalo 18; Minnesota 24, Detroit 22; the New York Giants 17, Miami 7; Jacksonville 23. Houston 17; Cincinnati 21, Baltimore 14; Atlanta 31, New Orleans 15, and Chicago 35, St. Louis 9.

The Carolina-San Francisco game was not only a shock, it was uncharacteristic for both teams.

The normally offense-shy Panthers got 327 yards and three touchdown passes from Kerry Collins and Willie Green had seven catches for 157 yards and a score.

The always disciplined 49ers had a team record IS penalties for 121 yard, more like their neighbors across the bay in Oakland.

"They played like the team with tradition. We came ung- lued," coach George Seifert said.

Still, San Francisco, which trailed 30-17 in the fourth quarter, had a chance to pull it out. Steve Young, who passed for 393 yards, found Jerry Rice for a 5-yard score with 6:22 left. But Eric Davis, a former 49er, intercepted a pass that deflected off Terrell Owens two minutes later after San Francisco had reached Carolina's 30.

"I was just shocked the whole day," said tight end Wesley Walls, a former 49er who caught two TD passes. "People cursing you - that's not like the 49ers, not like the 49er team I played for. There was so much trash talking at the beginning, I thought I was in a pickup basketball game."

Cowboys 10, Cardinals 6

Troy Alkman and Michael Irvin (eight catches for 198 yards) combined on a 50-yard touchdown pass, but it was a defense riddled by suspension and injury that won the game for Dallas (9-5).

Dallas was without the sus- pended Leon Lett and missed Dekn Sanders for more than a half because of back spasms. Yet it kept the Cardinals (68) out of the end zone by forcing four turnovers, the most im- portant a fumble on a hit by linebacker Randall Godfrey four plays before the TD pass.

Packers 41, Denver 6

Brett Favre threw four touchdown passes as the Packers (11-3) won consecu- tive division titles for the first time in 29 years. Antonio Freeman, who returned last week from a broken left forearm and had 10 catches for 156 yards, had nine this week for 175 yards and three touchdowns. Denver (12-2) slipped to 2-8 in games Elway has missed.

Steelers 16, Chargers 3

Pittsburgh (10-4) remained unbeaten at Three Rivers Sta- dium, defeating San Diego (7-7) as the defense got five sacks on Sean Salisbury, who replaced the injured Stan Humphries. Mike Tomczak threw to Andre Hastings for an 11-yard touchdown and Norm Johnson had field goals for 49,39 and 21 yards.

Bucaneers 24, Redskins 10

At Tampa Bay, the Bucca- neers (5-9) rushed for a season-high 209 yards - 117 above their average - to hand Washington (8-6) its fifth loss in six games since starting 7-1.

Jaguars 23, Oilers 17

Natrone Means ran for two touchdowns, and the Jaguars' defense stuffed a fourth- quarter rally as Jacksonville (7-7) beat Houston (7-7) and remained in the playoff pic- ture in its second year of exis- tence.

Patriots 34, Jets 10

At Foxboro, New England (104) posted its third dominat- ing victory in a row and set it- self up for a playoff bye with its win over the Jets (1-13). The Patriots clinched a playoff spot and lead Buffalo by a game in the AFC East.

Seahawks 26, Bills 18

Seattle (6-8) turned four turnovers into 20 points as the Bills (9-5) lost on the road for the second straight week and dropped behind New England in the AFC East.

Vikings 24, Seahawks 22

Brad Johnson's three touch- down passes kept visiting Minnesota (8-6) even in the race for the last two NFC wild- card spots. The Vikings took a 24-16 lead over Detroit (5-9) on Johnson's 30-yard touchdown pass to Cris Carter with 4:56 remaining.

Giants 17, Dolphins 7

At Miami, Rodney Hampton ran 4 yards for a score and Howard Cross caught a 1-yard TD pass from Dave Brown to help New York (6-8) reduce Miami's already slim playoff chances. The Dolphins (6-8) have lost three in a row and are in danger of posting their first losing season since 1988.

Bears 35, Rams 9

At Chicago, Rashaan Sa- laam, who has stumbled through bis sophomore season after rushing for 1,074 yards in 1995, ran for 115 yards on 19 carries and scored twice as the Bears (6-8) beat the Rams (4-10).

Proposed design gets mixed reviews The Associated Press

CINCINNATI - A proposed fu- turistic design for Hamilton County's planned new pro foot- ball stadium for the Cincinnati Bengals got mixed reviews from some Bengals fans. But the team's president, Mike Brown, thinks the design will grab the public's fancy.

The Cincinnati Post obtained photographs of preliminary de- signs by a Columbus architect, NBBJ Sports & Entertainment, and showed the pictures to Ben- gals fans leaving Sunday's home game against the Baltimore Ra- vens. Some Bengals fans liked what they saw In the pictures, and some didn't.

"I dont like it," said Charlie Seipelt, 62, of Milford, a season- ticket holder since the team started playing in 1968. "It looks to me like the seats - where I sit - the seats are too far from the field. I'm in the end zone seats, and I love my seats, but these don't look too attractive."

"I like the new architecture, the way it opens up to the river and to the downtown," said Steve Fleming, of West Chester.

Tkc AiMcUlcd Pr*M

An Interior shot of the proposed new stadium for the Cincinnati Ben- gals by NBBJ Sports and Entertainment ID Los Angeles. There would be no seats In the top corner of the stadium with futuristic score- boards filling the space.

The design, subject to change and refinement, features cano- pies over the two towering top decks of sideline seats and in- cludes partially open corners that allow views of the city sky- line and Ohio River. The princi- pal architect, Michael Hallmark, described it as a unique stadium design that he said could become a widely recognized symbol of Cincinnati.

"The preliminary design is in- teresting and It's great that the

creative juices are flowing," said David Krings, the Hamilton County administrator. "But if coming up with something unique doubles the cost of the stadium, I'm not going to think it's that great of a design."

Bob Bedinghaus, the Hamilton County commissioner who has led the way on the project to build a football-only stadium for the Bengals and a separate base- ball-only stadium for the Cincin-

nati Reds, said NBBJ came up with the design before the county hired NBBJ to design seating areas. The company developed a postcard that could be distrib- uted to promote the design.

The county has an agreement with the Bengals, but the stadium design isnt final, Bedinghaus said Monday. The county is still trying to negotiate a deal with the Reds.

Bedinghaus said he hopes to announce a decision by year's end on whether both stadiums will be along the Ohio riverfront, or whether one might be on the so-called Broadway Commons site about 12 blocks into the city from the riverfront. The Reds and Bengals now play in Cinergy Field, the former Riverfront Sta- dium in use since 1970.

Bedinghaus said he expects the county to sign NBBJ as the project architect.

"We're pretty far down the road with them," Bedinghaus said. "We're still probably a year away from breaking ground on a new football stadium, farther than that away from breaking ground for the baseball sta- dium."

The Bengals want to begin play in the new stadium by 2000.

Ravens keep losing second-half leads David Glnsburg

The Associated Press

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Good football teams win the close games. So where does that leave the Baltimore Ravens, who have lost second-half leads in seven of their last nine games?

In last place in the AFC Cen- tral, that's where.

The Ravens clinched that du- bious honor Sunday by failing to score on three tries from the 1-yard line in the closing minutes of a 21-14 loss in Cincinnati. It was standard procedure for Bal- timore (4-10), which somehow always seems to play just good enough to suffer yet another agonizing setback.

"I don't know what more there is to say. It's sort of the same thing every week," coach Ted Marchibroda said Monday. "We still haven't learned how to win, how to close the deal."

The Ravens have lost fourth- quarter leads against San Fran-

BASEBALL

cisco and Denver. They've also done it against mediocre teams such as Cincinnati and Jackson- ville (twice each), so it's pretty obvious that Baltimore just isn't a very good team ~ yet.

"It's like learning how to walk. It's a tough league, and you have to go through a period of time where you don't know how to win - where the better team beats you, the more experienced team beats you," Marchibroda said.

"Put it this way: If we don't have a fourth quarter this year, we're like 10-3," quarterback Vinny Testaverde said.

After Sunday's loss, some of the players questioned Marchi- broda's decision to pass the ball on fourth down from the 1 in the closing seconds. The coach called for a pass to tackle Jonathan Og- den instead of sending Bam Mor- ris into the line for a third straight time from the 1.

Ogden was stuffed at the line, and the second option - a short pass to fullback Carwell Gardner

- didn't work. So Baltimore was stuck with yet another somber plane ride home.

"They were ready for it," said Ogden, who caught a TD pass one week earlier against Pittsburgh

"I think we should have poun- ded It in there. We'd been doing a good job running," said Morris, who finished with 117 rushing yards.

Marchibroda defended his de- cision, saying, "After Bam didn't get in on the first two tries, I thought we should go to the air. I'd call that play again, under the same circumstances."

The Ravens have little left to accomplish this season, although they surely would enjoy getting at least one win on the road. Their last chance comes Sunday at Ericcson Stadium, where the playoff-bound Carolina Panthers have yet to lose a game.

Baltimore then concludes its inaugural season at home against

Houston on Dec. 22. It's been a rough winter for

Marchibroda, who last year took the Indianapolis Colts within one win of a Super Bowl berth This season he's had to endure one tormenting loss after another, al- though the good news is that the Ravens have remained competi- tive and maintained a high level of Intensity despite an uncom- mon rash of injuries.

"I think it's an indication of good things to come because of the fact that we've [ come close ] against every team we play, and we've played some good teams over the past nine weeks," Mar- chibroda said. "We'll have a bet- ter football team next year. We wont be as injured as we are at this particular time."

The Ravens trail only the Colts as the NFL team using the most different starters this season. Baltimore has used 40 different starters, one less than Indianapo- lis.

Notre Dame, Wyoming on outside looking in Both teams going bowl-less this year

The Associated Press

Notre Dame and Wyoming arent go- ing to bowls, even though they wanted to. Brlgham Young and Nebraska are going to bowls, but not the ones they wanted to. And Florida and Florida State are going to THE bowl, but they're not the teams the fans wanted.

Except those from Florida, of course. It seems like it wasn't until the bowl

picture got really settled that it got con-

fusing. "I'm terribly disappointed for Wyom-

ing, especially the student-athletes, coaches and fans," WAC commissioner Karl Benson said. "They were certainly deserving of a bowl game."

At least Notre Dame, 8-3 and ranked 18th in the final AP poll, reluctantly chose not to go after losing to Southern Cal and failing to qualify for one of the biggies. They'll stay home for the first time since 1986.

"At Notre Dame, we expect the best and we deserve the best," offensive guard Mike Rosenthal said, speaking for the majority of his teammates. "The team agreed that if there wasn't a top bowl, there shouldn't be any bowl."

Wyoming finished 10-2 and ranked 22nd, but it lost the WAC title to BYU 28-25 in overtime on Saturday and didn't get a bid. The Cowboys would have gone just about anywhere, if asked.

"It's no longer for the kids," Wyom- ing Athletic Director Lee Moon said, admitting that Wyoming's problem was it only had 3,500 fans it could send to a bowl game. And it's a travesty that a team gets excluded simply "because you can't generate a large fan base," he said.

At the same time, BYU had to settle for a lesser bowl, a matchup with Kan- sas State in the non-alliance Cotton Bowl, despite a 13-1 season and No. 5 national ranking.

Four of the alliance teams - Texas, Nebraska, Virginia Tech and I'enn State - are ranked lower than BYU. BYU and the WAC were so upset they still are considering legal action.

"At this juncture a decision has not been made whether to file any type of claim," the WAC commissioner said. "We believe it's more important over the course of the next month to focus on the success of BYU and Utah in their bowl games and let our bowl partners conduct games without a cloud of con- troversy. As a result, we will delay the possibility of any legal action."

Another WAC team, Utah, is in the low-profile Copper Bowl.

At least No. 6 Nebraska remained in a bowl alliance game, matched against

No. 10 Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, although a loss to Texas in the Big 12 championship game cost the Corn- huskers a shot at a third straight national championship.

For many, Florida-Florida State is just a rerun, and, with No. 2 Arizona State going against No. 4 Ohio State In the Rose Bowl, it might not even be for a national title.

In the game of the century two weeks ago, Florida State beat then-No. 1 Flor- ida 24-21 in a real nail-biter.

"You would think that if you beat No. 1 during the regular season you wouldn't have to beat them twice," Flor- ida State coach Bobby Bowden said.

Of course, Bowden's team is No. 1, for now.

Blocking is simple for OSU's Pace Go figure: at 6-6,300 lbs., it couldn't be anything else

Rusty Miller The Associated Press

COLUMBUS - As the players break the huddle and lumber to the line of scrimmage, the quar- terback begins sizing up the de- fense and the linebackers bark out signals. Receivers and de- fenders trot into motion while a crowd of close to 100,000 roars in anticipation.

But all is quiet in Orlando Pace's world. The Ohio State offensive tackle tries to close out everything except a primary thought.

"I just go out and block the guy who's in front of me," he says.

A simple job for a complex man. The 6-foot-6,330-pound jun- ior for the No. 4 Buckeyes under- stands that after eliminating all the distractions, the confronta- tion is just between him and an- other guy in pads.

The last one standing wins.

Almost every time, it's Pace. "Maybe the best offensive

lineman ever to play the game," said former Minnesota coach Jim Wacker.

Wisconsin defensive end Tarek Sal eh on his approach to Pace: "Just basically stay away. For that split second after he gets his hands on you, if he gets his legs underneath him, then he's going to body-slam you. And then you'- re done."

Former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz: "I think Orlando Pace is one of the best tackles in football

today. I didn't say college foot- ball. I said football."

Pace is among the top conten- ders to win the Heisman Trophy, to be presented next weekend, al- though no interior lineman has ever been selected. Another Ohio State tackle, John Hicks, came the closest with a second-place finish to Penn State's John Cap- pelletti in 1973.

"It's a longshot. It's been an uphill type of battle all year," Pace said. "If I don't win, it's one of those things I can get over. It's history-making just so I can say I was in the mix."

In a way. Pace already has a piece of a Heisman. A year ago. Pace anchored an offensive line that helped Heisman winner Ed- die George gain 1,927 yards and score 25 touchdowns.

"I know who I'm voting for," said George, now a rookie star with the Houston Oilers. "I don't think linemen get the credit they deserve. But if you isolate on Or- lando, you'd see ... he wants to destroy his man."

Many don't believe an offensive lineman will ever win the Heisman. After all, the grunts up front don't make many highlight reels - even though Pace got substantial publicity for throwing a block 45 yards down- field during one game this year. They don't handle the ball. And they're not versatile.

"Everybody focuses on the running backs and quarterback," Pace said.

Tke Associated Pr«M

Buckeyes' Orlando Pace throws a block against Penn State earlier this season. Pace Is among the fina- lists for the Heisman trophy.

However, Ohio State coach John Cooper said Pace meets the main requirement.

"If the Heisman Trophy goes to the best college football player in the country, I don't know how in the world you wouldn't con- sider a guy like Orlando Pace," Cooper said. "I don't know how he compares with the other great players out there, but he's play- ing his position right now as good as anybody we've had around here in a long time."

Pace believes that his chances might have been enhanced if he had been allowed to carry the ball - something Cooper said his staff never seriously considered

- or if Ohio State was No 1. But a 13-9 upset at the hands of rival Michigan on Nov. 23 ended the then-No. 2 Buckeyes' national championship hopes.

In that game, Ohio State ran 11 times for minus-5 yards in the second half, blowing a 9-0 lead. The Buckeyes' floundering offense in their biggest game of the year didn't help Pace's chances.

Ohio State's coaches say he hasn't allowed a sack in two years. That's why if he decides to make himself eligible for the NFL draft next spring, Pace will rake in millions. The NFL prizes left tackles who dont allow

sacks, because they are the peo- ple who protect prized quarter- backs from blind-side hits.

Pace grew up in Sandusky, Ohio, raised with an older sister by a mother who toiled in a fac- tory. Somewhere along the line, it became clear that the tall kid with the baby fat and the sweet disposition was special. In addi- tion to starring in football, he also was a nimble center on the basketball court.

"He ran the floor like a guard," said Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, who scouted Pace but couldn't pry him from signing with Ohio State.

Pace, Wuerrfel Heisman hopefuls

The Associated Press

NEW YORK - Florida's Danny Wuerffel and Iowa State's Troy Davis were among four players invited to Saturday night's Heis- man Trophy presentation.

Also invited to the Down- town Athletic Club, which awards the Heisman to col- lege football's most out- standing player, were Ari- zona State's Jake Plummer and Ohio State's offensive tackle Orlando Pace.

Heisman officials said one or two more players were expected to be invited later Monday.

Pace, 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds, won his second straight Lombard! Award last week as the nation's top lineman.

Wuerffel completed 207-of-360 passes for 3,625 yards and 39 touchdowns, including six in Saturday's 45-30 win over Alabama in the SEC title game.

Plummer, who led the Sun Devils (11-0) to a per- fect season and Rose Bowl berth was 179-of-313 for 2,575 yards and 23 TDs.

Davis became the first player in NCAA history to compile two 2,000-yard rushing seasons. He led the nation with 2,815 yards on 402 carries (a 5.4-yard average).

The Heisman Trophy will be presented at the conclu- sion of an hour-long ESPN telecast beginning at 7:30 p.m. EST.

Crimson Tide stay within football 'family' and select Dubose The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Some 20 years after fulfilling his dream of playing for Bear Bryant at Alabama, Mike Dubose got Bryant's old job and all the pres- sure of preserving the tradition the coaching great started years ago.

Athletic director Bob Bockrath announced the hiring Monday at a news conference packed with former players and other alumni, many of whom pushed for Gene Stallings' replacement to come

from the Alabama "family." Bockrath said details of Du-

bose "s contract have not been worked out. He said he expected the deal to be at least three years, maybe longer.

Stallings will coach Alabama through Its Jan. 1 appearance in the Outback Bowl against Michi- gan.

"This is proof that dreams do come true," said Dubose, 43, the team's defensive coordinator and a member of Bryant's Crimson Tide teams during 1972-74, which compiled a 32-4 record.

"I hope every citizen in the state of Alabama ... that this will send this message to them: Don't be afraid to dream. And don't be afraid to dream big. Because if you work hard and be patient, dreams do come true."

The appointment comes two days after Florida threw six touchdown passes against the Crimson Tide in a 45-30 win.

"There were some distractions and I'd be lying to you If I told you otherwise," Dubose said. "I apologize to coach Stallings and I apologize to all of you. I did not

do the Job I should have done to get the defense the way it was capable of playing."

But Bockrath said the decision was made last Tuesday, a few days after the two had a long interview at Bockrath's apart- ment.

This may be the dream job for

the coach from tiny Opp, Ala., but he said his long history with the Crimson Tide - he's in his 12th year coaching with the team -

has made him aware of the ex- pectations.

Bryant set the standard by go- ing 232-46-9 over 25 seasons at Alabama. Dubose will take the

place of Stallings, who has a 69-16-1 record in seven seasons and is the first coach in the post- Bryant era that fans have been willing to compare to the Bear.

"As a player, I don't think a day goes by that I dont think about coach Bryant," Dubose said.
