Next on their list is the use of IBM's RS/6000 POWER
microprocessor system in Macintosh computers.
The RS/6000 system is a high-speed processor that
utilizes three chips to execute the commands of the
computer's software. The newer POWER PC
system will place this processing system into a
single chip. Smith pointed out that this combination
of the RS/6000 into a single chip will enhance the
current system, making it faster and more reliable.
Finally, IBM and Apple plan to market
"platform independent software environments."
Translated, this simply means that they will sell
their new operating system to other computer
companies, giving them a choice between
Microsoft and the new system. By doing so, they
hope to stimulate the industry development of this
new technology.
"This is a long term project," Smith pointed out.
"We won't see any results from this project for two
or three years. If everything falls into place, these
systems will be fully implemented by the end of the
1990s."
WSU professor speaks New state education budget
out on Ohio economy approved by our legislature
Robert Premus, professor of
economics at Wright State University,
reports that since the state has been unable
to provide enough jobs for its workers,
Ohio's economic performance has been
below expectations and probably will
continue that way.
"If the Ohio economy was able to
grow in terms of job creation at the
national rate from 1960 to the present,
today we would have 1.5 million more
jobs for Ohioans," said Premus.
' He believes a strong work force will
enhance the state's economic condition.
"To a large degree, Ohio's future
economic performance will, be
conditioned by what happens in the
national economy. The short-run problem
is to anticipate future cyclical changes in
Ohio's economy," he said. "Ohio's
economic performance has been a major
disappointment when compared to
economic growth in the nation. A loss of
comparative cost advantages and a
shrinking market share were identified as
the primary causes of Ohio's long-term
economic decline. Ohio's policy

Dayton Daily columnist must have
had the "hood" over his eyes
Kevin A. Kearney
Editor-in-Chief
Cal Thomas, columnist for the
Dayton Daily News, recently
attacked young, black filmmakers
(July 17, "Hoods in the 'hood"),
calling them "as exploitive as their
white counterparts."
He even went as far as to say that
John Singleton's"Boyz N the Hood"
and other such films "are adding fuel
to the social fires that have consumed
so many black lives on our streets."
Horse dung.
There is a large difference
between exploiting someone's
problems and exposing them.
What Singleton and company
have managed to do is to bring some
of the problems of their own
communities out into the open,
rather than ignore or
even glamorize them,
as so many white
filmmakers
have
done.
Contrary to what
Thomas suggests,
"Boyz N the Hood"
does not give "those
who
view
it
permission to emulate
what they see on the
screen." The real
problem with the film
is that the social fires" have moved
from the streets into the
neighborhood theaters of sheltered
people like Cal Thomas.
Thomas refers to the streets of the
black community as "our streets,"
but hedoesn't seem to realize that the

Drunk driving ... everyone's concern
Merle Grace Keams
Drunk driving is a problem that all
Ohioans deal with on a constant
basis. Even if you are a person who
adheres to the rule "Don't drink and
drive," you still have to worry about
those who don't follow the edict.
In recent years, the Ohio
Legislature and special interest
groups have taken numerous
measures to address the problem by
heightening public awareness
through education programs and by
strengthening penalties.
Yet, between the years of 1981
and 1991 there have been 103,951
convicted cases of repeat drunk
driving offenses. Of that figure there
have been 8,357 cases of people with
five or more drunk driving offenses.
Major reform legislation,
initiated a year ago, sets minimum
and maximum penalties for first,
sec nd, third and fourth time
offenders. A fourth time offender
receives a fine of at least $750 to a
maximum of $ 10,000,60 days to one
year in jail, license suspension of
three years to life and participation in
a drug/alcohol treatment program.
Even with increased penalties, in
1990 142,376 drivers were arrested
for driving under the influence
(DUI), but only 73,000 offenders
were convicted. Even more
devastating, in 1990, 623 people
were killed in alcohol-related
crashes.
Senate Bill 205, recently
introduced in the Ohio Senate,
would increases the penalties for
second, third and fourth time
offenders of drunk driving. The bill
proposal requires for:
•Second time offenders — the
impoundment of the license plate
and certificate of registration for
three months, regardless of who
owns the vehicle;
•Third time offenders — adds to
the above, the immobilization of the
vehicle by locking in with a "Denver
Boot" for six months. A "Denver
Boot" locks on a vehicle and
prevents it from being mobilized;
•Fourth and subsequent offenders
— the vehicle would be confiscated
and sold at a public auction with
proceeds applied to the costs and the
balance deposited to the reparations
fund.
Many people are outraged by the
number of habitual drunk drivers
that are still on the roads threatening
the lives of motorists. Citizens, both
at government levels and within the
communities of Ohio, have put forth
extensive efforts over the past
several years to focus on drunk
driving as an issue.
This legislation will not only deal
with the offenders, but it will
hopefully encourage family and
friends to think twice before letting a
habitual drunk driver use their
vehicle.

Darrell Robertson's spirit lives through friends

I liked what Brenda Kampf in

(July 18) said about Darrell
Robertson though she was slightly
incorrect. As Darnell's girlfriend/
fiancee I admit that academically
Darrell was an average student and
he struggled through all of the hard
classes (physics, chem., etc.) to get
those grades. It's just that "average"
doesn't begin to describe him
personally, as Brenda and all those
who knew him know.
I have never talked to a person
who knew him or even met him for
five seconds, who didn 't like him. He
was a dedicated, hard working,
caring, smart and ambitious man. He
easily captured my heart and the
regard of my relatives and friends.

responsibilities that other men
wouldn't dare to take on. There was
never a time or place where he would
not help someone no matter what
else he may have had to do. He felt so
strongly about it that just moths
before his death he decided to
possibly change his career to
teaching computer science and math.
There was never a problem that
didn't have several solutions and
never enough he could do for others.
His father died when he was little and
his mother was diagnosed with
cancer last January, yet he never let it
stop him from doing his best to cope
with school while standing by his
family. He went to church and never
smoked, got drunk or ran around. We
can all learn something about the
kind of person human beings were
meant to be from him.
His spirit lives through those who
knew him and I. There will never be
our house together with the karate
(for him)/aerobic studio out back.
There will never be the warmth of his
arms around me again or our
children, but there will always be the
warmth of his love and influence on
those around him. I thank the Lord
that I had almost two years with him.
Through my pain I would like to
leave others with this message:
Love is precious and Darrell and I
knew that. Even if we were angry at
each other sometimes we never
parted without the "I love you," an
assurance that no matter what the
next day would bring, w£ could
handle it. Be strong enough to say to
your loved ones "I love you" every
day because you never know what
tomorrow may bring.

"legislating from the bench", I don't

It is amusing to me that Mr.

Judge Thomas. Who solicited Mr.

(facetious, I hope) that Mr. Jackson
be prohibited from offering his
opinion illustrates the attitude that,
"You have freedom of speech as long
as you agree with me." I would hope
that most Americans consider that an
unacceptable interpretation of the
First Amendment.
Instead of answering Mr.
Jackson's charges that Judge
Thomas failed to accept programs
and practices which advanced his
career, the news editor chose to spout
off more Republican Party dogma
about "quotas." Mr. Thomas did, in
fact, get into Yale Law School via an
affirmative action program. And
President Bush's assertion that Mr.
Thomas' race had nothing to do with
his nomination is downright
insulting. Why does Mr. Thomas
feel that he should benefit from
affirmative action, but that other
African-Americans should not?
Finally, I cannot fathom the
dismantling our system of checks
and balances by removing senate
confirmation from the judicial
appointment process. This gross
aberration of our concept of limited
government would be detrimental to
the interests of all Americans. If by
"ruling on the constitutionality of
law," Mr. Lucente means further
eroding personal freedoms and
strengthening the power of the
conservative elite, I suggest he take
some classes in civil liberties while
here at Wright State.

Greg LeMond "wins"
the Tour de France * Op
Hero proves critics wrong with sheer determination
Greg Billing
Sports Editor
As the 1991 Tour dc France was slowly
winding down, it was clear two-time
defending champion Greg LeMond was not
going to claim his fourth title overall.
He had lost the lead he held just one week
earlier and it was impossible for him to catch
the eventual winner from Spain, Miguel
Indurain.
But what LeMond accomplished in his
seventh-placefinishin the Tour was nothing
short of a miracle. LeMond's name
shouldn't have been in the standings, let
alone in the top ten.
LeMond won his first Tour de France in
1986, becoming the first American to do so.
At the age of 25, LeMond was riding high.
But on one day in April 1987, LeMond
faced the toughest battle of his life.
While turkey hunting with his uncic and
broiher-in-law LeMond was shot in the back
and side by about 60 No. 2-side pellets. His
right lung collapsed and pellets tore into his
liver and kidney. Two pellets found their
way to the lining of his heart.
On a cold day in April, Greg LeMond lay
in afieldclose to death. He would never race
again, they said. And if he did, LeMond
could never compete like he once did.
LeMond proved his critics wrong and
gave the world a hero to cheer on to victory.
He provided inspiration to a country in
1989 with the greatest comcback in the
history of the Tour dc France. LeMond
trailed overall leader Laurent Fignon, a twotime winner, by 50 seconds entering the final
day of racing. The distance to be covcrcd
was 24.5 kilometers. At best, said his critics,
LeMond would be able to gain 24.5 seconds
on Fignon.
Again, he proved them wrong.
LeMond won the race, defeating Fignon
by four seconds to win his second Tour de
France in an exhilarating sprint to the finish.
LeMond recorded the fastest time of the day
and sped along the France countryside at a
record-setting speed of 34 miles per hour.
With 30 pellets still in LeMond after the
shooting accident, he accomplished a
miracle.
Perhaps we shouldn't be in awe of
LeMond after watching his tragedies and
triumphs of the last few years. Even in this
year's Tour LeMond had his problems. A
high white-blood cell count left him
fatigued. A fall and sore feet compounded
his riding problems and it bccamc evident he
would not contend for the title.
"I did my best but at the moment I am at
a dead end," LeMond said c' jring the Tour.
"1 have a dead battery. It's hard. Physically
I'm suffering and I don't have any
sensations in my body."
LeMond's problems almost caused him
to drop out from the prestigious race, and not
manypcoplewouldhaveblamcdhim. Butas
LeMond hasshown us many times before—
he is afighterand refuses to back down from
challenges.
"I wanted to stop but I knew I couldn't do
that," he said. "I don't know what to think.
I'm taking one day at a lime. I did think a lot
today that I wanted to stop but how can you
do that when you are with a team?"
With the sports world focusing on so
many negatives, it's refreshing to see
someone like LeMond strive to be his best
despite the pain. And you know LeMond
will be back in the world's most famous
bicycling event next year.
"Yes, next year I'll be back and it's not
because it went bad this year," said LeMond.
"I'm far from the end and my career in the
Tour de France isn't finished."
His ians and admirers know that's true.
Reds lack of
commitment

John Stekli
Staff
When the season started back in April. I
! the Reds were looking forward to trying to !
' repeat as World Champions. Now in August
the Reds arc trying to get back to .500.
What happened to the Reds? To answer
j that question, look at what transpired before
j the season began.
During the off-season the other teams in
the National League West scrambled to
improve themselves. The Dodgers, who
finished six games behind the Reds last
year, signed free-agent Brett Butler to fill
their holes in ccntcr field and lead-off. They
also picked
up DarTyl Strawberry to play right field
and Gary Carter to back up ai catchcr and
first base.
The Braves also went hunting in the free
agent market. They picked up Terry
Pendleton and Sid Bream to play third and
first, respectively. They also swung a trade
j to get Otis Nixon to help out in the outfield.
The Reds also had their chances. After
letting Danny Jackson get away, the Reds
had a good chance to sign free agent Zane
Smith, but he eventually re-signed with the
Pirates.
Where are those teams now?
As of this writing, the Dodgers sit on top

Professional wrestling is for idiots
But don't interrupt while I'm watching it anyway
John Stekli
Staff
I have a confession to make. It is not
something that I am proud of but I can not
live with this secret any longer. I watch
professional wrestling. Not only do I
; g watch professional wresding, I kind of
*— enjoy iL
OK, before you think that I am an idiot
let mc explain that I know there are many
reasons why you should not watch pro
wrestling.
Pro wrestling glorifies violence. If you
watch pro wrestling you will see two or
more men beating the hell out of each
other using elbows, knees, tennis rackets,
chairs, and guitars.
You will also see people in the stands
yelling, spitting, and making obscene
Hawk, of the World Wrestling Federation gestures. While to adults this violence
fame, delivers a blow to Mike Rotoundo
may just seem a little silly, think about all
during a past visit to Wright State
of the children that grow up watching
professional
wrestling, he is just a contender for
the
bclL
My personal favorite when it comes
to stupidity is when a wrestler gets hurt
and goes into convulsions. He is carried
off, reported to have extensive spinal
cord damage and will probably be
paralyzed for life,
and he makes a miraculous comeback
and is wrestling two weeks later.
(While we are on the subject of how
stupid pro wrestling is, I lived in Florida
for a year and knew several people who
would swear that pro wrestling is real.
Scary, isn't it?)
Finally, and in my mind the best
reason for not watching, pro wrestling
glorifies the use of steroids. A few
weeks back when the doctor on trial in
Pennsylvania claimed to have sold
steroids to Hulk Hogan and
other wrestlers, I thought that it was
the biggest non-story that I had ever
heard of.
Does anybody really think that most
pro wrcsUers do not use steroids?
And what kind of example do they
set for high school kids looking for a
way to improve themselves athletically.
The short term dangers of using
steroids have been known for quite a
while, but the long term affects are just
now coming to light. Lyle Alzado
