Extensive IUE observations from 1987-96 have provided compelling evidence for azimuthal asymmetry in the winds of Be stars. Two identified types of wind/FUV flux behavior are briefly discussed. Interpretations based upon both nonradial pulsations and rotation of one or more active regions appear plausible.
