10 Thursday, April 25, 2002 STEROIDS From Page 1 mented with anabolic steroids. “The more you do it, the more you find out other people do it,” John said. “To get them on your own, it’s easy. I know a lot of people taking them. There are a lot of guys in there who you wouldn't think were taking them, small guys, that really are.” Some take them because they want veins to streak down their arms and legs and individual muscle fibers to flash across their flexing chest. Others want to answer the famous question of “How much you bench?” with “Way more than you.” Of course not all muscle-bound men “pop Voids.” Just because the bar bends from the weight someone squats or because a person can press more weight than two or three men combined does n’t mean he’s on steroids. But then again, it might be a good indicator. “If he’s big enough to catch your eye, chances are he’s been on them,” Dave said. “There’s only so much your body can do without them.” Added John, “It’s hard to get to the size I’m at without taking something in the past. And I’m going to tell you flat out that unless you’re genetically gifted, like (professional bodybuilder) Hex Wheeler, there’s no way. It’s just impos sible.” Over the years, Dave and John have taken several different kinds of anabol ic steroids. They include Anadrol, Dianabol, Decabolin, Finaplex, Primobolon, Sustanon, Testosterone Enanthate, Testosterone Propionate, Winstrol and Equipoise, a favorite of both men. “This is stupid,” Moore said after hearing what the two have tried. “This is absolutely stupid. They’re going to kill themselves.” APPROPRIATIONS From Page 1 “(The UNC system) has been asked to revert $63 (million) to $64 million this year,” said Jeff Davies, UNC-system vice president for finance. Davies added that UNC-Chapel Hill already has plans to reduce specific pro grams, including library acquisitions. He said one consequence of decreased funding will be less money to deal with increasing UNC-system enrollment. “These reversions are occurring when there is a substantial growth at the university,” Davies said.

COMMENCEMENT From Page 1 But Faculty Council Secretary Joe Ferrell, a member of the Speaker Selection Committee and the council’s Honorary Degrees and Special Awards Committee, said he expects that any of the 10 student nominated candidates could be consid ered for an honorary degree. ESPN sports anchor Stuart Scott, the May 2001 Commencement speaker, was met with some opposition from faculty and did not receive an honorary degree. Rouhanifard said the candidate who received the most student nominations, entertainer Bill Cosby, was automatical ly added to the chancellor’s list. He said the remaining candidates were chosen by having all committee members vote for their top five choices. “There are some names on the list that received multiple INVESTIGATIONS From Page 1 know that we have a concrete plan to address all allegations and that we have a strong commitment to a high-quality of care for lab animals,” Waldrop said. The meetings came almost a week after PETA released video footage show ing alleged severe mistreatment of lab animals by UNC researchers on campus. PETA investigator Kate Turlington, hired in October as a UNC lab researcher, used a hidden camera to videotape the conduct of other research lab workers. Lester Kwock, chairman of UNC’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, also took part in Tuesday’s meetings and described them as produc tive. “We wanted to let the NIH know how we are moving on the situation, and we also wanted to find out from them if we are handling it appropriately,” he said. Kwock said initial investigation plan ning began last Thursday after officials acknowledged PETA’s accusations at an afternoon press conference. He said that every allegation issued on PETA’s Web site and in the undercover video was broken down and that five subcommittees of IACUC were formed to investigate several separate allegations. Along with the formation of the com mittees, Kwock said that one individual was suspended immediately and that there is a “gray area” involved with other workers in the lab. “The worker suspended admitted to us that what he did on the (PETA) tape were not IACUC policies, so he was suspend ed because he was clearly guilty,” he said. Kwock said the names of the accused will not be released because investiga tions are ongoing. Waldrop said the committees are composed of members of IACUC as well as UNC faculty and national experts from outside of the University. Waldrop added that he will head another subcommittee, composed of non- IACUC members, that will investigate whether the IACUC was involved with —S— TODAY c aro |j na Softball vs. UNC Wilmington spm at New Softball Complex Harripp’s sports shorts Students & Faculty Admitted FREE w/ID!
