TUESDAY NOVEMBER 19,1974 Frat student buried alive THE WESTERN CAROLLNIAN PAGE 3 (CPS)— Wet sand, a six-foot grave and fraternity hazing resulted in one student being buried alive and seven others charged with manslaughter in New Jersey. The death occurred during a Zeta Beta Tau initiation ceremony on a beach near Monmouth College in West Long branch, NJ. According to Jack Genung, editor of the Monmouth College Outlook, ZBT pledges were required to dig six-foot deep "graves" in the sand, then lie down in them while seven fraternity brothers walked by and sprinkled sand on them. As the Taus walked past the line of graves, they noticed there was one hole missing. Police and fire officials arrived too late to save William Floweres, 19, whom they pulled from the sand and pronounced dead of asphyxiation. According to Genung, wet sand—probably caused by a recent rainfall—had caused the grave to collapse on Flowers. Police charged the seven Monmouth College ZBT brothers with manslaughter. Genung told CPS that Monmouth College has been flooded with wire service and television news reporters who were attempting to connect the death with the fact that Flowers was the first black student to be pledged bv the Monmouth ZBT's. "There were no racial overtones," said Genung. "It's bad enough that it (the story) made the front page of the New York Times. WCU's Little Theater is presenting Richard B.

Rules My first resolution come New Year's Day will be to never a- gain date girls who are astrology freaks. For the past month I've been dating Claudia, a 20-year-old shapely brunette whose only hangup is her horoscope. Claudia is a Scorpio. She told me I am an Aries. We first met at the University snackbar one evening after I had just finished failing an economics test I hadn't studied for. She was sitting in the corner booth facing the wall while sipping a chocolate milkshake. Determined to make my day more than a complete failure, I took a large cherry-Coke and a hotdog with chili over to her booth. "Mind if I join you?" I asked sitting down across from her not waiting for permission. Releasing the straw from her lips she stared at me vaguely and asked, "Virgo or Capricorn?" "Huh?" "When's your birthday?" she demanded. "April 12. When's yours?" "An Aires. I should have known by your arrogance. I'm a Scorpio. We could never make it together if that's what you had in mind," she added. Something immediately told me I had a wrong number with this girl, but I was intrigued. "And why not?"Iasked squeezing mustard onto the chili. "You've got to have your freedom., and Scorpios are possessive. But mostly, you'll never be able to understand me," she said, Mentally I conceded lu-r last point, "Want to go tothe movie with mc tonight?"! asked trying to get around the issue. "What's showing?" "The Night Visitor," I replied cautiously. "That's it!" she gasp?d. "What?" "My horoscope /or today said a stranger would introduce me to a visitor in the evening," she explained. Unfortunately, the astrology stint didn't end with our first meeting, The past month has been a continual battle between me and her $1.50 horoscope book. Once there was a time Claudia refused to date me because it warned her: "Spend night alone; time with mate could prjve harmful," Another time we walked one mile across campus to buy a pepperoni and mushroom pizza because she should "stay away from autos in p.m," I can't say her fidelity to her horoscope is completely frustrating, There were some good times when she was advised: "Romance tonight may give you some happy hours," or "A happy day for an affair ofthe heart." The frustrating part is the inconstancy of the advice. Also, there seem to be more predictions of "friction possible with loved one today," than "let self go with secret mate in evening," Rather than tolerate the uncertainty, I decided to plot our meetings by her horoscope's suggestions^ I bought a Scorpio book at the University bookstore and secretly planned a Saturday evening by candlelight at my apartment with French wine and music by Strauss and Debussy, The book had forecast for her: "Romance could be glamorous and exciting in evening if you follow mate." Naturally, I was ready for a night of love and leisure. I was even beginning to believe there could be some validity to this pseudo-science. When I arrived at Claudia's apartment, she was waiting at the door for me and without speaking let me in. I sensed trouble, "We've got to stay here tonight," she said with a note of finality. "Why?" I groaned. "I bought an Aries horoscope book today, and it's bad news for you," sh? said. "What does it say?" I demanded. Opening a small paperback she read, "Saturday: Forget plans made for mate, expect conflict. Ideas could cause trouble, Stay home in p.m." H5X ihjs unbelievable NATIONALLY KNOWN BRANDS HOUR?- to;0Qt*$l30W*-"""S*' druses i 11 C£ls i SR&EETTI NIIE-'WES LUMCHECW BUFFET™* »* \fimJu-tZ25 ffclUISS •' Mob. lhZ-30 fri-Stt IHO TnK-UeA-TUuK 11-9 Sun. 11-7 The BOSE 501 DIRECT REFLECTING Speaker System "v AND THE BOSE 901 '%> ,.tf4 ESS the INFINITY IOOIA music % systems y- of Charlotte *<!*' ;*®t° 4H»* I*** david harris, agent SHOWINGS (Y APPT. 4 sylv, 586-6142 afttr six
